Video call... will it ever be a reality in WM6?

this is a question for all you developers and coockers...
do you think the video call will ever exist in windows mobile 6?
i would really like to use this option but the wm5 is not an option for me.
i have arround 4000 contacts and wm5 is extremly slow to consult and call a contact. on the other hand, wm6 beta is very quick and i'm addicted to it!
i tried to go back to wm5 so i could use the video call but i quitted a few hours later...
so... is there a prognostic on this matter?
thanks

Unless the developers themselves are interested in using video call, it's not gonna happen.
Few people use the video call function... If they don't see the need, then they won't focus on fixing it.
But of course, read my sig.

...few people use mms...few people use power point.... few pwoplw use voip.... ok? is this a good reasons? baaahhhh!!! i'm very very hungry!!!!!

lol go eat!
As a developer myself (PC).. I usually just create applications or fix things that I am paid to do. If Im not paid to do it, I just tend to to things that cater to my own needs.
My point is.. if a ROM developer does not need video call, why bother fixing it? Are they being paid to fix it?
Although monetary benefit is not always the best motivator, most people can also get motivated in doing things for self-gratification, if they are being praised, or hearing people say "thanks", "i love you!!!" or "you're my hero!" also works.

thank you both for replying.
i think the question is not to use an aplication much, but the power to use it!
i like having tools that i may or not need, even if i never use them. maybe one day i do need it.
of course this is not the case, i really need the video call!
like mms... i allways forget to configure it because i rarelly send mms messages, however if someone sends me an mms, i like to have the power to receive it.
well... maybe some day a developer puts some effort on this precious tool

i posted a poll in this thread to decide how many people are interested in video call.
i hope the results can influence the rom developers.
please vote fellows!

Hello,i vote for videocall.
Thank

i'm with you.... ok.

Those who don't need it, simply don't use it!
For those who don't need it, simply don't use it!
But some of us really need the videocall function and that's the main reason why some people use WM5... Even with an older ROM, we (yes I'm one of those who install back Helmi's WM5 AKU3.5 ROM) are able to explore all Universal’s functions.
There's anyone still working on it? In January videocall issue as faced like a resolving soon problem

i need videocall!

Ehi guys,
yesterday I found that a WM6 ROM is available in Italian from A1KStyle...
They claim that videocall is ready and working...
I don't need it so I haven't tested the ROM... but for who is interested in it...
Bye.

W W W Video Callllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

I thought there is a cab file to put in the video call??? I tried it on the last rom and it works but incoming caller ID was being pushed out of the screen hence i uninstalled it..

As i said in an old post: If you are here that means that you BOUGHT an HTC Universal.
Well.. BELIVE ME: Qualcomm don't present the MSM6250...
I PAID IT.. You all paid it!
Even who says that don't use videocall!!!
I wonder WHY you bought a device that makes videocall.. IF YOU DON'T USE IT?!!
Sorry, i can't understand: Maybe they have a lot of money! I don't know!
There are a lot of device much cheaper.. That's because they can't make a videocall!!!

I guess we can even do a paypal donation to the one who will make us able to make a videocall on wm6; for example 10€ each one of us and we can achieve enough money.
But in this case, of course, the application must work.
Anyway WWWWVideocall

Some of us bought it because it was a good pda with a vga screen, full qwerty keyboard, UMTS (for data) and was at a good price (I got mine for £250 off eBay). Also, point me to a device with the same specs that is cheaper and without video calling... Thats what I thought - there isn't one....
In Australia there is only one carrier that supports video calling and, at the time of purchase, I wasn't with them.
Don't get me wrong - I would love video calling. But if you want it so desperately ask what you can do to help, rather than moaning about it. I do believe that JWright produced a beta for his ROM - see how that went and see if you can improve it.
And, if you aren't a developer:
What are you doing on these forums?????
Register your interest (ie vote in the poll)
Ask, politely, once
Switch back to WM5 if your desperate
Remember: ALL OF THESE ROMS ARE BETAS. Most of them have a lot of issues fixed and I'm sure that the developers are working on Video Calling... just be patient and have faith

First Clown,
Try giving respect to GnatGoSplat and others for porting the wing rom to a wizard. Second when everyone else know you will know, just like you many people want the cab file for myfaves or standalone install for the wizard or any htc device. When that happens check the link in the first post. Look on XDA, Google IT,
BUT don't come on here disrespecting people who are busting their ass not to mention XDA for keeping this site up.
WE ALL WANT A MYFAVES CAB ADDON
WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE IS PATIENCE

I don't know what your suggesting with your little post there, CDguider. I was not suggesting that the fact that we now have a wing rom on the wizard as being lame. I was just stating my frustration that this post made it seem like we now have an all encompasing myfaves app for our phones. This isnt the case. I was clearly stating this in the post so nobody else was at all confused. I read throughout the entire post for the wing rom. I appreciate the efforts. I've been using my wizard for quite sometime now and have lived with the fact that I have to swap sims to a myfaves enabled phone to get the changes to save through. I think I can manage a little while longer (and will be watching that post for any updates, of course.)
And since when was saying something as simple as "Lame" disrespectful. Not near as disrespectful as CAPS and Boldface characters.
Oh... and I see you live in Wichita, Do you work at the call center also?

caps
Sorry for the caps man, just happens sometimes when I want people to focus on that word, again sorry, I understand what your saying though after reading my topic, I will make sure the next time I start a thread, it will clearly state rom , addon , cab, etc.
By the way I do not know GnatGoSplat, I just appreciate the work that he and other put into this rom, I could not find myfaves anywhere besides, official extraction thread, etc.
I now live in Buford, GA, I lived in Wichita KS my whole life, I did work for tmobile when the call center hadn't been built, seniority number 4, there was like 500 of us had to draw for it, we were all at a college because the facility was being built so we trained there, anyways this chic from tampa bay I believe trained she pissed me off and training, I walked out
Damn, Thats boring, and LAME

No need for MyFavs
I am pretty sure guys that you dont need the MyFavs part of the rom for the call filtering to work. Ive been using my Qtek 9100 (Tmobile MDA) for a month now. And it has filtered my minutes. Notice that your MyFavs contacts are stored on your online account with TMO. All the MyFavs does is give you graphical user interface.
Nice port tho.

I heard a rumor from an T-mobile employee on Howard Forums that they are planning to make it so you must have the proper T-mobile phone (serial number?) for myFaves to work. Could be totally false and exposed as such (read the topic in October)

I would rather have a graphic interface to change myfaves.
Probably just a rumor myfaves serial ......

See this is a pretty strange thing... Sometimes it works perfectly fine if you set it up on the internet. Other times i have seen peoples accounts completely messed up because they didnt have a myfaves phone. All i know is what you HAVE to do if your not using a myfaves phone. the myfaves system sends a confirmation to the phone whether you do it from the handset or the internet. The confirmation checks the phone for myfaves. If you dont have myfaves on the handset it wont confirm. That means all you have to do is set your myfaves when you have a myfaves handset handy. Just pop your sim card into the handset to set the myfaves.
And there are myfaves serial numbers... We are supposed to do an IMEI check each time we set up myfaves on anybodies accounts. We can tell with the imei even in the same handset if its myfaves or not and whether its myfaves 1.5 or 2.0 the new version out.

I almost forgot I was going to try to extract the MyFaves. It was requested around or before Christmas and I completely forgot about it. It's not going to be easy for me to test since I don't subscribe to MyFaves so I'm sure the first few CABs I release probably won't work at all. I'll add this to my ToDo list unless somebody beats me to it.

thank you

Guys, I was about to ask you why are you so sarcastic... but then I read the last two posts ... man I laughed so hard that my girlfriend heard and I had to tell her why am I laughing Trust me I am not laughing now....
Anyhow I think that Skype can deffinetely be improved but let's face it- Skype for Winmo was never good therefore I never really used it. Maybe you guys should have told the guy that nobody (here) would modify an official app with copyrights like Skype.. Also the Landscape issue could easily be fixed with some registry tweaking or using BsB Tweaks (correct me if I'm wrong).

[Question] How To BackUp SMS On Windows Phone 7?

Hi.
Im using HD7. Now I'm going to hard reset it but I want to backup my SMS first. Is there any way to do that?
Thank you alot.

Nope. Hopefully they add that ability, but as of now there is no way.

That's bad. I dont know why M$ don't care about SMS backing-up or synching...

so, this cloud development is a way for our personal data on servers.

Skype Alternative for BB & Android?

I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place, but I'm going to give it a shot.
A friend of mine is from the UK, and has a BlackBerry. Now her Blackberry isn't available for Skype. I am trying to find a good VoIP/Skype alternative that is on both BlackBerry and Android.
I've tried TruPhone (Tru App), and it's complicating as hell and just isn't working.
Google Voice is available for both devices, but that's not what Google Voice is for.
Can't use Nimbuzz, because the last time she tried NimBuzz she had to bring her phone to the shop and get it repaired.
So if anyone can help figure this out, it would be much appreciated.
