I Wonder if there is any Messenger software for Linux/WM5/WM6 and can do voice calls/Video-Conferencing using the build in Video cam as a web cam without using the 3G Video Call ?
I mean like doing Video call with yahoo, and MSN, but use build in Video cam as web cam? Because I think it's such a waste to have a Video cam on the Universal but not be able to use it as a web Cam doesn't matter about FPS though, at least get to use it....

If you want to use your pda as a webcam (and still use msn/yahoo/etc from your pc), check out Ateksoft WebCamera Plus here: http://www.ateksoft.com/webcamplus.html
It works both when ppc is cradled, and through wifi. Although I haven't managed to make it work on a Qtek9000 with WM6, on WM5 it worked like a charm

Note that it requires a desktop computer.
As far as purely WM-based applications are concerned, Portrait 3.0 (check out my review posted to the General forum) is able to use the built-in camera - but only the rear and not the front one on WM devices with two cameras. That is, it's pretty much useless unless you use a mirror
Unfortunately, there're no messenger apps with camera capabilities (see my IM Bible, crossposted to the General forum, for more info if interested)

ya, that require a computer, and somehow I can't make it work too... it just won't display anything after selecting the driver.
anyway, ya, I am trying to find a software that will do "purely WM-based applications with web cam capabilities" thanks for the info on Protrait 3.0
I will certainly check it out kind of doesn't matter if it uses only the rear camera, oh well if it can use both, it would be great but things don't always work out the way we want it now searching for Protrait 3.0, hope I can use it to connect to desktop. and Thanks for the info !!

Thanks Menneisyys, it works ! it works ! it works ! it works !
the video is good, but the interface is slow though, maybe I should flash the ROM or something, since I am still using the original ROM; most of the phone operation delay for 2 seconds or more....
For those who are interested... here is the link -----> http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/ But somehow firefox and opera can't download the file, but only IE... Is this the best M$ or Bill can do to get people use IE ? heh heh
i'm using a wm6 rom and it's works perfect
i have tested it over wifi and sync cable and both work
i didn't have to change a single setting plug and play
I't even works on my c500

Hi every one. I believe I'm pretty much like most of the people on this forum, a proud owner of a Imate Jasjar. unfortunately I use it in the US with T-Mobile. Needless to say that under such conditions the jasjar is almost useless because of the abscence of a reliable 3G network. I was wondering why there isn't any developer or company working to develop an Instant messaging software that would support the use of the front camera on the Qtek 9000/Jasjar? I completely understand that represent a lot of work and certainly don't expect it to be free. I'd find it normal to pay for it. I believe if we can afford a $700 phone we could certainly afford a $30-50 application without causing serious harm to our wallet. I would think the market would be significantly big enough concidering that the Jasjar and the Htc tytn both have a front camera, and I don't mention all the Nokia phone with comparable features.
So I just wanted to share my views on the subject and hope, since this forum gathers quite a few brilliant people that my message would be heard. So if anybody is willing to take the plunge!!???

So far I think it might still be buggy though. I've tried 3 different 6.1 Roms (PDAViet, Schaps, Pays) and the IE runs much slower than 6.0, enough to where I'm switching back to 6.0.

I can confirm this. 6.1 is VERY slow. The ONLY added feature is the Zoom feature and it is extremely laggy. Multiple times when zooming out a web page it would take 10-15 seconds... long enough that I thought the phone was frozen.

Second that, I am impressed by how much faster IE 6.1 is compared to 6.0. It is actually usable now!
Wow, makes me want to flash again... after going back to 6.0 last night.
I;m using Schaps 6.1 and no problems with the IE here. After I figured out which programs were compatible with 6.1, that is.

ePocrates (medical software)--required hard reset d/t looping reset; this blows as I am a paramedic and the database was awesome tool to have;
Mobireader--didn't loop reset but it would hang and needed soft reset and the remove it from programs--also blows as I have several ebooks in mobireader format
quickmenu--locks up the system and slows it down horribly--would have been a cool replacement for the menu though
SPB Phone Suite--hard reset the phone without me having to touch the button ;-)...that was nice; not really losing alot of functionality but the call filter and voice mail counter was nice--most irritating because I paid for it and can't use it now
IM+ -- loads fine but when you try to connect, it closes the window out and you can't connect...not really important as I'm not an IM junkie *anymore*
Might be more but thats all I can remember for now.

That was common with all the 6.1 ROMS, not just that program. I knows PAYs Rom fixed whatever was causing it, haven't flashed back to 6.1.
Is there anything totally new in 6.1 that makes a good reason to update?
At the moment I'm using Schap's 3.54b german ROM... don't like to have to deal with english on the phone...
So the IE got a new feature, zooming? Like the opera-browser rendering the website in the original resolution and zooming in? Or how does it work? I really miss a search function, if I remember right there isn't one in the Opera browser, too. The zooming in Opera is good, though, even if I like the Iphone-browser more, specially with the multitouch-gestures.. but it lacks UMTS and a working keyboard, so I don't give my TyTN out of my hand!

Anymore? Did you found a better free tool for that? I did like the Uploadfeature for photos (also if I don't know what they do with the uploaded data...) of Agile Messenger. But they suck if they want 50$ for it. For my old nokia 3650 they took only 19EURO for the client...
I did try Fring, IM+ and the old official ICQ-PDA beta, too. But all are not stable or not really userfreandly. AgileMobile was the only one that did fit my needs nearly, but they want too much money.
kind regards
edit: oh and by the way: I installed the cab, it works so far... but where is the zoom-function and how does it work? I only find a "high resolution" in the view-menu, but if I click on it nothing happens...? I installed it to the memorycard and to the devicememory, too. No difference.

Hi everybody
I have the main question - what are the main advantages of WM6.1 comparing to WM6.0.
Is WM6.1 worth enought for change if we says about so many mystakes in it?
Sorry fo my english.
Bigfoot
I'm interested too, and what about Battery usage & Speed (memory usage) ?
thanks
There´s quite a few threads with the same question and the answer is usually the same....Try the roms out.
To me is kind of rude when someone says"this one is better than that one" or stuff like that,because these rom cooks are using their time just for us and they don´t deserve those comparisons.....so like I said give different roms a shot and compare yourself.

WM 6.1. can be managed from System Center Mobile Device Center (see http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/mobile/default.mspx). Thta's a big advantage for the large compagnies
The bluetooth pairing doesn't need the password 0000 toggled in.
Memory & battery usage are still the same.
Going back to WM6

After many efforts to work with WM6.1 and with my apps I finally gave up: for the indevidual (and not companies) there still many bugs comparing to the stable WM6: annoying soft-reset, many apps are well integraded with WM6.1 etc.
Sorry, but I do not see how WM6.1 is better than WM6.
but are any of the roms real 6.1...or just lookie likey?????
i have been using PDAVIET 3.08.61.29WWE and it is excellent. I have many apps loaded and have not encountered a single problem. This rom is blazing fast and supports everything i have thrown at. 6.1 has been perfect for me i dont have any problems as i read. i literally install 1 to 2 apps per day and not a single issue. before this i was using FInixNOver WM6.1 and same thing not a single problem.
in fact, i was looking for WM6.1 because i wanted a new GUI ... but microsoft appears to be as same as always ... just sells us old **** that hadn't changed since Windows Mobile 2003 ... poorly unacceptable ... like microsoft ... like always ... i'm just fed up with theses poors OSs, i hope the iPhone2 will get out soon, i will sell my trinity as soon as i can and get this really GOOD device !
there will never be improvements on WM from microsoft for a long time, everyone will have to wait until at least 1 year before seeing the first devices coming with WM7, so i prefer going to a brand that do good human-machine interfaces, and the iPhone is doing really good !
why would we have to stay to WM ?! the iPhone do the Exchange Sync ... i just don't understand anymore microsoft ...
Question about pocket excell and word
I red somewhere that WM 6.1 pocket word and excell documents are in PC full format and for WM6.0 this format is only pocket. Is that true?
To Simkand
Hi
Iphone ? ha ha ha ha
It's so buggy and you need itunes to use it .......
If you want another interface, try ifonz or another one available here
I use now WM6.1 on 3 devices : a trinity, a blue angel and a smartphone : so far so good
And I am not a big fan of Bill !
iPhone
I bought two 8 Gig iPhones the first day they came out. One for myself, and one for my wife. The very next day, I returned mine (10% return charge).
My wife loves it because it's VERY simple to use, and you cannot mess things up easily. But for me, you have to HACK the PISS out of it to get it to do ANYTHING! It's network is dog slow, no MMS, no GPS, no SD slot, no programs to install, (untill I hacked it), it crashes more often than my WM6 devices, JOBS Locks it down every chance he gets, iTunes SUCKS and crashes Windows! I will admit, the screen and the multi-touch is impressive! It makes a GREAT iPod, but a usable communications tool, it's not.
Even with all the hacks on it, it still does not compare to WM6. WM has litterally thousands of software programs you can use freely for just about anything. I'm sure in time, the iPhone will get closer, but for now, not for me.
My biggest pet peeve was the fact that my appointments would not show up on the main screen when I first turn it on. That's something I insist on with my WM phone.
If you want a great TOY with a fantastic screen, then it's fine.
i think differences are only little.. part of it is the sms system. 6.1 transform sms system into some kind of a chat window. well this is quite good considering it is easier to read the history messages

Why not trying the new SPB Mobile Shell 2.0?
I am very happy with this.
I apologize for getting side tracked.
iPhone does have a great GUI, it's just locked down making it hard to modify, at least for now.
You are right, WM 6.1 GUI is basically the same. Thanks Bill!
WM 6.1 adds the threaded SMS as mentioned before. It IS slower, but I prefer this layout.
The task manager now shows a LOT more information including running processes, memory consumption, & CPU consumption.
I'm not having any of the problems reported by other users (ie: program incompatibilities, crashes, bluetooth, activesync, etc...), so it's MUCH quicker running on my phone.
Bluetooth is Much more reliable, and simple to hook up (0000 is automatic).
Browsing in File Explorer is Much Quicker.
It might just be me, but my speaker phone seems a bit louder.
Managed Programs as mentioned by Stingray66.
Wireless Lan seems to have less trouble for me. Stays connected without having to set it up constantly.
Just my experiences.
6.1 is perfect for my Trinity, RAM memory avalaible about 25 Mb, A2DP is perfect and direct, without password, multitasking in best way.-
I don´t like the easy touch interface, but in fact, with SPB pocket plus interface is working perfect and with your own custom interface.-
I can see youtube and flash videos, no problem with video and audio files and 100% compatible with Corecodec media player.-
In my own opinion is the best OS for my trinity.-
Thanks Landy.-

I agree and .NET 3.5 can be added too. With the tool of Modaco (.NET Configuration) it's possible to switch between .NET versions and even configure the version for each application.

Hi.
What are you all talking about. There is no official WM6.1 for Trinity, all this ROM - is home made. This is just vinaigrette, mess of different ROM, as well as WM6.
Hello, I have Diamond with WM 6.1, but there is a big problem with it. Program scrolling speed is TERRIBLE. I dont mean TF 3D (Manilla) I think normall Windows Program folder. Why am I writting it here to General? Becouse I heard that this is problem of every WM 6 device. But I dont know if this is right. There are two problems in fact. Somebody´s talking about slow PIE scrolling (and there is a fix on it) and somebody of slow Program folder scrolling. I mean second one. So, does any of your devices do it? But only WM6, on WM 5 and lower are (at least I read it) Programs scrooling normal. QVGA and VGA, display resolution is not the problem. Of course, Diamond is a VGA device, but this should not affect it too much. And other WM6 scrool folders are OK, like settings, they are fast enough. So, does anybody know what to do with it? Any known fix, tweak? I was searching for about five hours and nothing. I tried to bigger GLYPHCACHE, and nothing changed. Only one clue I found is that someone on Dell Axim x50v has very slow scrooling after upgrade from WM5 to WM6, but there was no solution, only that he fixed it by the file from XDA, bud I didnt find it.
please clarify what you mean by slow scrolling
try turning up the touchflo threshold using advanced config.
Yes, no problem. I mean, that if I click on start, then Programs, and i pick (mean click (I am not very good in english)) slider and move with him, it is very slow, I don´t know how to tell it english. I can compare it to game - it shows bad framerate, it is not slow in meaning of just speed, but in smoothnes of scrolling, it is like slideshow compared to scrolling smoothnes and speed in WM6 settings. It is not problem of VGA screen, that is sure. Touchflo has nothing to do with that I think, but I will try it.
No one has tha same problem? Only Diamond?
Hi All
I have an unbranded SEA TP2 and am 'still' waiting for the official 6.5 upgrade from HTC.
If you have yours already i wondered if:
1. The Keyboard light issue has been fixed...?
The bugger doesn't seem to stay on when typing on the 6.1 standard.
2. Anyone tried SRS WOW on this new version...?
The 6.1 release ran it OK, but the phone eventually went into a non-wake up state so it proved to be useless.
3. There is less memory used to run the phone...?
6.1 seemed to use a hell of a lot of RAM after a while - i disabled push internet and this helped a lot.
4. Touch use in Landscape mode is better....?
With 6.1, it was often hard to trigger an event off say Opera in LM, finding the trigger hotspot was a little off on some of the buttons in various apps...
5. Is the Music Tab any better.....?
6.1 is all but useless for me. It was slow and oddly picked a single piece of cover art and used that for all songs. Interestingly, Nitrogen used the same songs, but applied the correct art to each song.
6. Is the Zoom Bar better or is there a 'magnifier' built in to the new OS..?
On my 6.1 the zoom bar is not too responsive and seemed really under utilised. I did see a built-in magnifier app on a video somewhere and hoped it might be included on 6.5 and the updated Manilla.
If anyone can shed some light, that would be really great.
In the interim, I wait for the update......
Cheers to all
