Enable Back Camera For Videocall On At&t 8925 Tilt

ENABLE BACK CAMERA FOR VIDEOCALL ON AT&T 8925 TILT
It is possible to do? Do I need some registry hack?
btw:
-My service provider has 3g videocall enabled, so I can use it to receive videocall but I cannot send my own view.
-I have reflashed my 8925 with an Tytn rom (the dialer has the video button)
Thanks for your help!

5 (FIVE) months passed and no replies???
somebody in the whole world have done this?
please help!

what is the point of video calling if you cannot see the other person..?
and the answer is no, can't be done

hm..
not for nothin... but how are you gonna see the other person if you've got the back of your phone facing you...

use the back camera and stand in front of a mirror so you can see other person on your screen. Think about it, it would work but little silly though

Hold on I'm going to move to the back of the phone so you can see me now.

You missed the point.
There are times where you need to show something other than your face to other caller. Eg. Showing an engineer re the machine damage, etc. This is where the back camera comes in handy. Yes, you can take picture then send as MMS but if there're multiple things to show it's just not as convinient as using video call.

Easy solution!
Sell ur tilt on ebay, use money to buy a real htc kaiser. Ta da, now u can use video call the way its supposed to be used on ur phone. Wasnt that easy now?

Why would you do that? think man...use mirror reflection with the back camera. Use your imagination

My point is, I wish to know if it is possible to TRANSMIT VIDEO with a At&T Tilt, no matter what kind...just transmit the video to the other person during a call using 3G. There must be some registry hack to do this!...Pof, Olipro, Sleuth255: Tilt users need your help here!

There is a way to do this.. with my hermes (imate jasjam with front facing cam) in video calls you could go to options and switch to back camera.. I cant test it for you now cuz i'm in the US but heading overseas in mid june and pretty sure it can be done..

Great idea
I think that feature is good to have on the AT&T Tilt. Its a good idea to use the back camera with a lower resolution offcourse. Is it possible?

if you have dialer with video call and options like HTC dialer you can go to the option and turn the camera from the front to the rear one.. i think with this way you have video call on tilt

If you want the provider-supported videocalls then of course currently it can NOT be done (although in theory I would say it shouldn't be any problem just to force the use of rear camera in a small resolution and route it for videocalls, that should work for as long as you have 3G connection).
But
you can always use it for videocalls using other web-based communication apps, the only "problem" is that the other person have to use them too...
There was Microsoft Portrait - I had excellent videocalls using my old iPAQ 6515's and TYTN "rear" cameras; it even support connection to NetMeeting on your PC and that way I could i.e. have a peek whats going on at home (when PC's NM is set correctly you can enable it to autoanswer etc) Skype worked too; I bet bunch of other apps works that way too, and they probably work great - I can admit that i.e. MS Portrait had better video and audio than when using my provider's 3G videocalls.
The only problems are that i.e. MS Portrait is very picky about the cameras (i.e. it doesn't recognize the camera in last version of iPAQ6515 while it did in the previous model) or Skype fiddles with their app so often and so much that it is hard to even say which one works on which phone (there are versions that I don't even had sound over wifi on TYTN II, not to mention old iPAQ...)
So, if you want videocalls - and not necessarily through your usually crappy provider - there are plenty of options... you just won't see yourself or the other person when youre using the "rear' camera, thats all.

I have done this using webcamera plus: provided the necessary ports are open and the windows xp/vista software is installed, put the receiver's ip address on your pocket pc part of the software and you will be transmitting video with either camera.

Diamond Battery 3G question and also GPS

Hi Everyone,
First post here so hopefully you guys can help. Been doing a lot of reading of the site over the last few hours since I got my Diamond - looks great. Am usually very literate in these things but have always tended to be an S60 guy so now breaking into the WM world properly..
Anyway, there are two things I wanna run by you which I'm sure you guys may know..
1. Battery/3G
As we all know, the battery sucks.. There's no denying that. I refuse to switch from 3G to 2G though cos that spoils the object. I have already conceded by turning HSDPA off and am now on normal 3G as it is. One of the things that can't be good for the battery is that it connects to check emails and then stays connected.. Whereas the beauty of the iPhone for example is that if you tell it to poll your imap server every 15 mins, it connects, checks and downloads and the disconnects. It connects again another 15 mins later.
I've set my Diamond to poll every 30 mins in the hope that it would then disconnect once it has downloaded the emails rather than staying connected for hours and hours at a time to the internet even though it's only checking my email server every 30 mins or so.. you follow?
So, I downloaded Advanced Customisation and have turned off the Auto Attach feature.. But what it does is stop the Diamond auto connecting the first time.. but then once it's connected, it stays connected to the internet.
You follow me?
Basically, I want a way for the phone to disconnect from the net when it has checked for messages then reconnect when it's time to check automatically again. Rather than staying connected or me having to switch to a manual check. Is that possible guys? Maybe that will help with the battery.
2. GPS/Battery
Other thing I heard was that if you go into the GPS settings and change the program port from Port 4 to None, then it saves on battery life. Only downside is that you then have to fiddle with the settings before you fire up Tom Tom or Google Maps. Is there any truth that the phone is always looking for GPS satellites even when satnav software is not switched on.
3. ALARM
Oh actually - there is a third question.
Is there a way of having the phone on silent but alarm clock on so that I can sleep knowing I will be woken up by the alarm but NO phone calls. It's a basic thing in Symbian/Blackberry/S40 but seems to be missing on my Diamond?
Thanks all - i have googled and searched through the forums looking for answers to these questions but had no luck.. Hopefully you can post some answers.
Have a good day and thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that just because it's connected ie. the E or 3G symbol on the signal strength bar. It doesn't pull extra juice, extra power is only required to transfer data and not to 'maintain' the connection.
if your area has great 3G connectivity, then you could set the phone to 3G only instead of auto, cause that's what usually saps the power, the phone constantly trying to find the best band when it's feels that the signal strength isn't good enough.

you can just put the phone on flight mode. that way no one will bother you with phone calls. (not tried it but i think it will work)

Hi
BTW, to set to 3G only, is it UMTS(800+2100) or UMTS(1700) in the UK?
Cheers

Sorry i'm from MAlaysia so I wouldn't know your settings. But in anycase you can leave that at AUTO. Just force it to UMTS instead of GSM or AUTO

I think you need to set the auto disconnect drop down in Advanced Config. I've set it to 10 secs and it works for me.

There is an easier way... Just turn down the call volume to zero, leave system volume up. This will keep the alarm ringing, but calls won't bother you.
SMS messages however will also still ring. So if you are afraid of being woken up by those, just turn them off in the notifications setting.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to turn up the volume of calls again after you wake up I missed some calls because of that, hehe.

New Mundu IM (AIM/GTalk/MSN/Yahoo/ICQ/Jabber)

Has anyone seen this? I just installed the 15 day trial and it seems pretty stable.
http://mundu.com/products/mundu-im/screenshots
Also the only way I found the apk was through the site. I havent found it on the Market yet...

checking this out now. i like it so far. HiAIM is nice, but i dont like chat bubbles plus this will let me on all of the rest of the services too, it's like trillian for android.

I can't seem to connect to it, my AIM just sits at "Authenticating..." for ever

You know it was working perfectly for me at first. Now its doing the same thing you describe.
Ugh. Why cant we find ONE im app that stays connected?

$11,- for a chat app?
hahahahahahahaha.

I prefer Palringo myself. Does all those except ICQ and Jabber I beleive.
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.paxmodept.palringo.android.main

Meebo build 15 keeps you on now and auto-reconnects. It will also notify you if it is unable to reconnect due to no data (edge/3g/wifi).

I'll give this a run.

After running Mundu for the trial period, I decided not to buy it. It disconnects way too often and when it does, it will stick at "Authenticating..." until I force close the app and restart it. It's too bad, I really love the interface and has all that I am looking for but I need AIM to stay connected.
I e-mailed support and of course they blame my connection. But here I am using HiAIM and it doesn't disconnect, EVER. I guess I'll have to live with the lack of great interface/options in HiAIM.

I see someone never mentioned ebuddy or buddymob both are great IM applications and buddymob have yet to log me out unless i make a phone call or incoming call, which leave me wondering if it does that to every IM application out there?

If you're on Edge, you lose data connecton during phone calls. If you're connected via 3g or wifi, your IM connection wouldn't drop. I use both Hello IM! and Meebo (not at the same time) and both of them rarely log me off because I'm either on wifi or 3g connection.

Are you sure you aren't losing connection and it is reconnecting? People told me Palringo wouldnt disconnect for them, but testing it I found it disconnected quite frequently and was just fast to reconnect. Definitely a turn off for your friends that have you on a buddy list

Have one what? HiAIM does not disconnect me at all (unless I am on a call, not it's fault though). I tested this by keeping an IM open with my cell phone's AIM screen name and no notices of sign off/on. I did this same thing with Palringo and would see it reconnect every few minutes.
It sucks because I like the Mundu interface, but I can't find anything as stable as HiAIM. Maybe I'll dust off my programming knowledge and try to create something on my own that will have a customizable interface as well as a stable connection

Well the customization doesnt sound half bad so people can find their own colours, but im going to test out the connection thru every messenger connection.

I use meebo and it has always been stable, the autostart and UI works well. Plus its free.

Instant Messenger clients always disconnecting, please help

Does anyone know exactly what is causing this problem because it continues to happen across different ROMs and different Radios. Is there some fundamental reason why the X1 can't maintain a connection with IM clients?
I'm on T-mobile in the UK and running the valkyrie_V3 WWE ROM. Windows live messenger will disconnect if i put the phone into standby for as little as a minute and sometimes even when I'm in the middle of messaging. I keep getting messages saying "wireless connection not available trying to reconnect" or something similar.
I've tried IM+ and while that doesn't give disconnection messages it's doing the same thing as i have tested it using different accounts.
I can't get ebuddy working on this ROM because it won't let me enter the password for some odd reason but that has had the same problem with other ROMS in the past.
Has anyone found a solution to this or is it something to do with T-mobile settings?
I should point out that throughout all this i maintain a good signal of at least 2 bars and according to the phone the data connection hasn't dropped.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

i used to use AOL's own mobile-based IM/chat client for AIM, and it always kept me connected without problems no matter what. only problem was it was INSANELY slow.
i've switched to slick, which i'm not crazy about, and i'm having the same problems as you. i'll randomly get disconnected with the phone sitting with full HSDPA reception, not going into sleep or standby....i thought it was just slick's crappy programming

Which network are you on?
Also are you 100% sure AOL used to stay connected because i thought the same thing about IM+ but a lot of my messages weren't getting returned. I signed into 2 different accounts, one on PC one on phone to test and it turned out the same thing was happening just not as obviously.
This is really frustrating, my old K800i used to stay connected to windows live for days at a time, my friends blackberry also has no trouble staying connected.

i too have the same problem, we need the xda gurus to fix this, hopefully they would be able to do so in the near future

pretty sure it was connected constantly. i had some pretty lengthy text sessions and i never got any error messages (IM not received, user not on, signed off, etc). i mean, i can never be 100% sure, but pretty sure. i only used it fo ra couple weeks before getting rid of it, it was creeping death slow for some reason

I'm too really desperate for a solution to this problem. My device is a HTC Touch Pro2 running Windows Mobile 6.5.
The case is that I will launch a new business site in just a few weeks whos customers are for the biggest part young intellectuals more often than seldomly really integrated with the modern IT-development. Hence I've always wanted to add the Windows Live messenger plugin to the site so that our customers can have a live chat completly anonymously without having their IP traced and logged which is the case for the markets paid services. Furthermore, the msn live plugin is completly ad free and doesn't cost a penny. The paid services out there that other corporations use for their live chat often comes with an URL to the host even though the customer are paying for their live chat module. The most important part though, is that I can bring with me Windows Live Messenger wherever I go which for the most part is a complex and not even that usual solution in the paid service segment. I think you can understand my problem now =) I'm just desperate to have my live messenger in the phone ALWAYS and ALWAYS stay connected.
For an example of the plugin I'm refering too have a look at my personal website:
martinandersson.com
A little more specific information describing what really happens with my device:
Windows Live version: 10.7.0061.0500.2000. Language: Swedish (Also the language of my OS).
I am running the client non-exclusivly. It always stays in the taskbar and never quit on me unlike what happens to programs that stay open running in the background for a longer period of time. In that way, it works great.
The main Windows Live window's (which are displayed and runned as a seperate program) options/settings are set to sync my e-mail although the frequency are set to "manual" and the other options below this drop box are for some reason greyed out. I guess this has to be interpreted as if live doesn't sync my mail at all, which I like being that I do not have an hotmail account or need this feature in any way.
The status of my phone always always show two small 3G icons (one just '3G' and one '3G' above a meter) and if I click in this field I see a ticking clock which shows that it is indeed connected to internet ever since my phone's last reboot. This has never been in any other way. Still, I did download the DiamondTweak and enabled the "internet always on" feature, but again, I do not think that really was the issue and from what I can tell, the DiamondTweak just hasn't made any difference at all.
One detail of great importance is this; Whenever I browse the internet, update my rss feeds or switch to the messenger contact list window through the taskbar, the 3G symbols changes to display an H. That tells me that this "H" must show for the phone to have a "real" internet connection? Could this be the trick, one has to find a fix to always have the H show? If that would be the case, I just can't understand why the phone says it is indeed connected to the internet when there's just a 3G-symbol in the status. Anyways..
Even though the messenger dies completly and just as what this threads owner wrote, shows a "wireless connection lost" message when I swich to its contact list window, it sometimes live for quite a while. The thing is that it just doesn't get the message instantly. The phone can be in standby mode (really haven't figured that thing out, everybody keeps saying "standby" mode but for what I can tell all that happens is that the display goes of) for sure, and then I write myself a message through the live chat plugin on my site but it takes about 6 to 10 minutes for the phone to give a sound and notice me of this message. And again, for the most part the live messenger doesn't stay alive for that long, the sites plugin goes offline and then if I turn the phone's display on and access the live messenger it says that the wireless connection has been lost and reconnects.
Moreoever, it never gets my plugin to go back online either. For that part to happen, I have to first get online with a desktop client and then again login with my phone. For if I stay online with the desktop client, the phone's client is indeed alive, but won't receive any messages. I have to reconnect with my phone so that my desktop client gets thrown out. But of course, is just a matter of time before my live chat module and my phone's client gets offline and I have to do everything over again. The really annoying part is that the phone's client dies a long time before the site's plugin catch up and goes offline. Hence I might loose a lot of customers who think they are chatting with me but never get a reply.
Given the description above, I think the problem really is that live messenger doesn't ping or talk with its server that often, IF the phone is in standby mode. If it isn't, if the display is turned on, I recieve my messages instantly and everything works just fine. Sure there must be an easy fix for this problem, a small edit to be done in a config file somewhere?
All help and all problem experience is much appreciated.

Question S21 Ultra - log to spot the bloody hardware fault PLEASE

I have a weird problem with my phone and have been running back and forward at my mobile operator to look for repairs and at the Samsung official repair center and none can help saying they can't see physically the problem after performing software and physical tests.
I decided to logcat the issue myself. Initially I thought it is the microphone. Samsung here in Belfast recommended to swap the sim to a new one as I was using an almost 4 years old sim. The problem hasn't gone away.
Basically when I am in a call on Whatsap or Messenger or Teams, whatever, any app where you can do internet calls, after a few minutes of call I hear the voice starts crackling, muting, clicking... Also my voice seems to drop for a sec or more for the other person. I thought it is a mic problem but after I had recorded the call and noticed at what exact time this happened again , after listening to the recording I realised the sound was fine. During the call his voice dropped for a second but in the recording it sounded fine. I know now the problem is related to sound in a way. But it just happens during internet calls. Today it even rebooted during a whatsap call. It happened before as well on a Messenger call.
Considering it is not the log of the radio I have to read(correct me if I'm wrong), where would you suggest I have to dig in the logs to see what exactly happened at that certain time?
I will find out and I will laugh on Samsung and request a full refund, I just need to see where the problem is.
Unfortunately the latest log started after the reboot and I can't see what caused the reboot, can I?
Full reset was done, it is not software, it is hardware and Yes, I am using the latest firmware and Yes it was happening on older firmwares last year.
Just advice me where exactly I could digg please to see what exact part of the hardware is failing during a call (sound crackling and sometimes reboots itself)

You may never find it. It could be a crack in an internal mobo trace. A failed semiconductor junction in a chipset. If you can replace it for free or little do so... unless you need to have a really aggravating new pastime.
Not every fault can be found within the means of most men. This has happen since the tube era and once you witness it, it will change your perspective on repairs.

Not every fault can be found within the means of most men. This has happen since the tube era and once you witness it, it will change your perspective on repairs.

This sounds really sad and I hope to get rid of this device or the fault

I had recorded the call and noticed at what exact time this happened again , after listening to the recording I realised the sound was fine

But it just happens during internet calls.

You have all the answers : then it's not hardware at all. It might "come" from the phone, but it"s probably software/settings/connectivity related.
Look towards :
- the app used,
- your internet connexion,
- your internet settings (on the phone)
I'd go for a traditionnal cross-debug sequence
- using the same app on an old phone (to say the app itself is not to blame)
- using the traditionnal wifi call vs 5G call (to see if it's your carrier or internet provider that is to blame)
If the call is OK on an old phone, and NOT OK on wifi and NOT OK on 4G/5G on the S21U, and even with a full reset of the phone, then it might be your provider (aka a bad internet connexion),or the default internet/system settings
The thing to understand, is that internet phone calls sometimes use the UDP protocol, which is extremely sensitive to packet loss (and Youtube using it through the QUIC protocol).
- I would conduct multiple connexion tests around UDP and your internet connexion in general (jitter esp)
- I'd check if your provider and phone is set/supports IPV6 (Settings>Connexion>Mobile Network>Access Point>Type IPV4V6 for example)
Alternatively, try in Settings > Advanced to disable Video effects for chat apps (esp messenger and teams), or anything sound related (disable dolby atmos, adapt sound, etc)
I strongly believe you are having burst packet loss due to a faulty saturated node of your providers' end.

I will try all these things, thanks for now .
But what are your thoughts of the reboots during whatsap and messenger calls ?
I also forgot to mention one detail. Whe it was on early android 11 in May - instead of rebooting it would simply start making that noise when a PC dies into blue screen and the sound would just continuously buzz until I reboot the phone. Before reboot my microphone and sound of the whole phone wouldn't be available at all.
Now that I'm writing this I run into the thought of a faulty sound card kind of.
I still think it is a hw fault... But a very tricky one because it happens only once in a while. Like small glitches happen on 90% of calls but the reboots or freezes more rarely. And this is the main reason I have to run around with the phone in services and they don't spot anything and laugh on me.

I think it is related to the proximity sensor. During the call on loudspeaker if I move the phone 3-5 cm away from my ear the voice is heard from top speaker and bottom one but if I get it closer only loudspeaker plays it. In both cases the screen remains off.
And only if I move the phone really far then the scree turns on.
The cracking sound when switching between main and loudspeaker is the same as the sound when the voice is cut.

I wonder if it is a thermal issue. If the problem usually occurs only after the call has been running for a while, then perhaps a marginal part is being affected by heat buildup. To rule it out, you might try keeping the phone much cooler than normal to see if it takes longer for the problem to start up.

What happens when using headset during the calls where sound gets distorted?
