Hello everyone......
There I was, happy as larry - full of joy and praise for my Ameo now running mobile 6.....
Then I tried to make a video call (which I had been happily using on mobile 5 ) and errr......its gone!
I am using the WWE Moblie 6 ROM on 2.20.405.1
Radio 1.32.00.00
I have been on this ROM for AGES and didnt even notice...
Anyone got a remedy for my ignorance? Or should I be thinking about a new ROM?
Thanks
Search!
I did a search and found 1 other person asking this question....No replies....did I miss something?
I think there's a different phonepad (dialler skin) you can install which will bring the video call button back. I've seen it mentioned here somewhere.
Sorry to be so vague, but it least I can try to point you in the right direction.

Does this work for 128 and 96dpi mode,or only 192?
I have no idea, I haven't used it.
My dial pad already has the video call button, on PK's 2.0 ROM.

Pantaloonie, your dialpad that has video call button, is it a stock dialpad from PK 2.0 ROM or PK2.0 addons? Or is it a third party dialpad? I am using PK2.0 ROM and I dont think there is any video call button in PK 2.0 ROM.

Me too
After WM6, I can still try to make video call by holding the pointer on a contact and selecting "Video call". This either makes a voice call or doesn't connect. Without any realVGA even.
Any thoughts anyone?

Yes, its the dial pad included in the ROM. Only addition is an all black colour theme, not sure if that would make any difference.
Attached so you can try it.
May be is my poor english understanding, but I believe that some problems here are related to the realVGA "disable phone skin" feature.
May be someone doesn't knows that PHONE SKIN means also VIDEO CALL BUTTON. If you disable it... no phone skin? no party! (There was a commercial in Italy and maybe in some other country, No Martini? No party!) I used vjay big phone too for VGA res.
If you can't dial a video call and is switched to voice call, just check you AND THE PERSON YOU'RE CALLING are in a 3G area, no 3G? No party!
videocall
I ve test in wm6 spanish, ando today with the latest black rom and the videocalling din't works.
When i o a videocall he change o normall calling... Whats the mater?
Sorry for my english too
To make things clear
The WM6 system comes with 2 shapes of the phone. One is the standard WM6 Phone app inbuild in the OS and provided by M$. This does not have video call button (hence you can not use video call feature) and has very ugly interface specially if we talk about smart dialing.
The second shape wich also comes with all versions of WM6 ROMs (including PK ROM) is the HTC (or some other flavour of) Phone Skin which adds video button (and feature) and provides much nicer shape for smart dialing.
Now, the problem is that HTC Phone skin is writen only for qvga/vga 192 dpi. If you would use it in 128 or 96 dpi, you would find that the smart dialing has bug. The field for number dialed ascapes above the top edge of the screen.
That is way Tobias has decided to provide in his Real VGA an option to disable HTC Phone skin. This option is set to on by default.
This means that all of you have phone skin (HTC version at least) in your Athena. The question is whether it is on or off.
If you do not have the video call button on your phone, you have to go to Real VGA setting and unclick the option for disabling phone skin. Then after restart, you will have the video call button back, but if in 128 or 92 dpi, you will have problems with manual dialing (not seeing what has been dialed).
If somebody here has video button and does not have the bug in 128/92 dpi, it means he has some other flavour of Phone Skin. If so, please let us know, so we can find the solution for this problem at last.
Hi
Video call button already built in the Black 2.0 rom. But if you use the 192DPI then you can use it. If you use 128 DPI or 96 DPI you have to disable the dialpad with the Video call button and use the standard HTc dialpad (which do not have the Video call button). If you not disable the Video call dialpad then you can't see on the screen what numbers you are dialing. Therefore you have to choose 192 DPI with video call or 128, 96 DPI without video call.
Good luck

Its look that the skin (whith the videocall button) solves the problem. Finally, i can made videocalls...
Ok, better in 196k, can use the fingers a resize the fonts of the programs... Thanks
The camera is slow on my 8525 (WM6). I press the button and 2-3 seconds later, the picture is taken. I saw a fix on here but it wasn't a CAB file so I didn't know how to use it...
Can anyone recommend a proceedure to fix this annoying issue?
I don't know of a cab that does the fix, the registry key is mentioned on the Camera Shutter Delay Fix Cab Request thread below in this forum and is easy to do.

Thanks for the info and the link. I've made the registry change therein and will see if it performs any more quickly.
Thanks again.
Try this... On my hermes, it will help and camera capture is very fast, after this registry modification...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/Captparam/
DeleyTime (set to1)
Thanks for your message. I've modified my registry.
Hey Guys,
Although i know that this could also be told in some other thread also, i thought it wont be noticed by many if i do so. So I decided to make a new thread.
As many of you know that some times ago, our beloved Ankit360 shared the Elfin Camera OEM with us and from that time almost all the ROMs created by ME and Ankit have this camera.
Now one of the shortcomings of this camera oem is that it doesn't supports photo capture while zooming in normal picture mode although it seems to be supported, but the taken pictures were not saved. With the original camera also this was not possible in normal mode but there was a workaround to use the Burst mode for that. But the new camera misses the burst mode too so that is a big trouble.
The tweak i am talking about here will enable the Burst Mode which doesn't actually works like burst mode ( or i may not know how to use it properly) but it does let you save pictures taken while zooming with the camera.
So here it is :
Take any registry editor, like the DotFred's task manager's regedit, and navigate to :
Code:
[B][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6] [/B]
and here change the value of Enable to 1. Create the value as a DWROD is its not present already.
Thats it, you'll have a new mode in the camera.
Thanks for Karan999 for sharing with me the diamond tweaks page which lists this tweak.
thanks for tweak :>
Thanks a million for the tweak
@Ankit and Addicted: My Pleasure Actually i was playing around with registry and i found this and suddenly, by chance, karan999 sent me the link to this same thing I felt sort of weired
i try out this it's not at working
How come man, its working for me completly fine. Do it, then a soft reset and then look at the camera, go to its controls, click the button in the bottom-middle of the screen and choose Burst Mode. Then try zooming and taking pictures. In normal mode it will not save the picture as before. You have to go into Burst Mode.
whos piks did u zoom
hi
i can guess whos piks u zoomed in on
any way i have not tried this as i really don't use the camera at all and im getting real busy after a long time

Can anyone please provide me a registry editor software?
From your signature it seems like you are using my 6.5 ROM, there is a utility in it called TaskManager2, it is actually the DotFred's task manager that i have talked about in post no 1. so just start it, goto the Regedit tab and do the needful.

Problem
hi
wat u said did work and i took a bust pik naturally of my lovely wife
but it took like 20piks really man i counted 20 piks wat went wrong and how do i fix it
but yes its works thanks
Thanks a million Krazy!!!
Ya, i am too searching for some another tweak for that. Actually untill i didn't touch settings of camera, it was taking one pic only. But after i touched settings, it is now taking 20 pics in a row. Although this is what the Burst mode is for , but lets see if it can be controlled
got temp solution for this
hi
this is wat i did when i clicked in bust mode i pressed the navigation(silver key in the middle of the phone) key and it stopped at around 3 piks
so may be u can try this as temp solution for now try it

I have a Cingular 3125. I'm changing jobs, and the new one does not allow camera phones. I don't use the camera, anyway. They say it's OK if the camera is present but disabled, but physically covering the lens is not (even though I think sandpaper would do a pretty good job of making it useless).
Is there an easy way to disable the camera (both camera button and the apps) that will survive a reset? Hopefully, something as simple as a registry and menu edit (OK, I could undo that, but they won't know that) or a CAB to load. Changing to another version of the ROM is an acceptible option, but I'm not really one for cooking my own ROM and I've not seen any 6.x ROMs for the 3100 (camera-less 3125) or ones that list no camera function.
Found some messages from folks who lost and wanted to regain the camera function but nothing the opposite or even a clue as to what unintentionally disabled the camera so I could do the same intentionally.
you can replace the Short_Camera.lnk (and maybe the Long_Camera.lnk) in the windows directory with a shortcut that points to another app. This would stop the camera button from starting the camera app, but it wont totally disable the camera, as you can still manually launch the camera app.
Your other option would be of course to physically disable the camera. Its just plugged in to you can remove the actual camera.
just delete a registry key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Camera]
and reboot

Wouldn't let me delete the key, but changing the Dll REG_SZ to nothing or an illegal name seems to do it. Camera button now brings up "Pictures & Videos" and both the Video Recorder and Camera apps fail to work. I thought changing SensorType from 1 to 0 would do it, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Thanks for the speedy reply. Might have found it by myself, but wouldn't have known not to mess with the other Camera keys.

Hoping Erofich's solution is good enough for them. Don't want to go that far, but will if it's the only way to keep my precious 3125.
I'm not sure how an easily reversed registry-edit would by sufficient if sandpapering the lens isn't.
Physically removing the camera isn't that hard to do, there is an instruction on how to disassemble the phone here with pictures:
http://www.modaco.com/content/strtr...sembling-htc-strtrk-8500-s300-f600-smartflip/
Taking the camera out really shouldn't be too tricky, here is picture of it:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=19448
You could probably also just put a little bit of tape over the camera and then close the phone back up, which would be the least destructive way of disabling the camera with it being sufficiently hard to re-enable for a reasonable employer.

SOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED about ICS on my MINI
Does it have Trebucher launcher and CM modified music player?
6 bugs so far on my Xperia Active:
- Home Button does nothing
- Bluetooth headsets won't work
I can pair and connect all of them but audio will keep playing on the phone only
BT-Heartrate strap works fine though.
- Audio Playback is stuttering (with both the default player and mortplayer)
- Browser does not work (loads for a while then crashes)
- no data connection (as stated)
- after the phone was lying around for 15m it was very unresponsive (was not able to unlock it) and rebooted by itself
i flash kernel and.... black screen
ST15i
edit: ok problem solved
Mini Pro (SK17i):
Bugs, in order of priority to get fixed:
1. Will not allow me to set an APN. List of APN's stays blank after I manually save my APN details. So, no data but texting and voice calls work on O2 UK.
2. Hardware keyboard doesn't work. Lights are operational. On screen keyboard works.
3. Rotation sensor stays in landscape mode most of the time.
I noticed when searching with Root Explorer that the following file exists:
/data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
telephony.db contains a large database list of carrier APN's, which all have an ID number.
My network (Giffgaff [on O2 UK]) was ID number 179.
Now, there's a settings file here:
/data/user/0/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/preferred-apn.xml
the preferred-apn.xml file contains the line:
<long name="apn_id" value="-1" />
So I backed up preferred-apn.xml and changed the value from -1 to 179 and rebooted.
The preferred-apn.xml is mirrored in:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/shared_prefs/
and the mirrored file had changed to ID 179 too.
I thought I was on to something to force my APN setting into ICS but it didn't work.
I then went into APN settings and tapped 'reset to default' and Android just reset the preferred-apn.xml files back to ID -1 again.
Was I close in forcing it to use my APN??

Home button doesnt act as a home button, but as something else... Try going into the app drawer and press it once. You will see the first app get "selected". Also go to the browser and press it. It gets you to the top.
Browser closes if you havent installed gapps.
Audio Playback pauses for 10 or so milliseconds every 5 seconds.
Cant test the bluetooth.
Another graphical bug. When turning the phone sideways on the Wi-Fi security input screen, everything garbles up. If you press where the empty box is for the Onscreen Keyboard to pop up, it will work. Mostly a cosmetic issue but annoying
AWESOME !!
Hope you guys fix Camera Soon ! I am downloading this now .. will update about performance and stability soon.... !
EDIT:
Bugs Found in SK17i
1] G-Sensor doesn't respond,screen is always in landscape mode
2] Glitches while setting date and time
3] Failed to connect to 3G
4] vCard file importing failed for contacts backuped on SD card
5] In Dialer landscape mode all buttons stick together o.o

This garbled screen effect also happens when you try to edit the days of the week on the alarm clock (Mon, Tue, Wed, etc...).
It might be a bug in the composition of pop-up selection boxes, if you know what I mean.
