I have a Trinity and my phone provider is vodafone Germany. I tried everything to get a Video call to work but it just doesn't work. I have the 3g symbol on the display all the time and I live in Cologne which has UMTS everywhere. But if I call a number (my wifes number same provider and standing next to me so she has UMTS too) it seems as it should be ringing at the other end but it doesn't even ring there ...
Did anyone manage to make a video call with the trinity?
I HAVE THE SAME problem... I was thinking was signal problem.... but....
btw I can't send and receive mms too )))
Video Call and MMS works on mine =)

I couldnt send mms too. so i completely resetted (hard reset) and followed the vodafone mms instructions. Now it works. But still no video call.
Still no video calls on german vodafone?
so no one has managed to make a video call with the trinity on vodafone germany?
Today I made my first video call with T-Mobile Netherlands, so it does work.
still no video calls
I tried with my trinity with several vodafone germany cards and it does not work. It seems my device is defective.
Tried it last week with a video-call to my brother (he using a SE K800i on Orange), and it seems to work great Had to change the dial-pad back to the default HTC one though, cause the M$ one doesn't show the buttons to initiate a video-call
i have made a videocall with t-mobile nl, but the other person did not see me.. i could see him on my screen., and myself in the lower corner. And no, we were not filming eachother. ;-)
what about that ? we both were on umts network, standing next to eachother.
is it something on my phone i forgot to turn on ?
i have a orange spv m700, (yes officially unlocked, thnx to the nice man in the orange shop!)
he has a nokia N73
It seems the Vodafone network in germany does not "see" that my trinity is on UMTS. If I try to use Vodafone TV it says that I am currently not on UMTS which I am.... very strange... any help is much appreciated
I am having the same problem with Telsra in Australia. I have the 3G symbol, the service says it is on UMTS Telstra, can browse the net with HSDPA, everything else seems fine.
Maybe a lame question, but you have the video call service enabled by your operator/contract? Maybe you require some settings on the phone to be recognized as video call enabled/ to operate on the network?
MMS
I can not send MMS too. It drives me really crazy!!!
I have a dutch KPN provider

Since no one has answered this question yet: Yes, it works, albeit not to my satisfaction.
I'm using a Vodafone compact GPS (which should be identical to the HTC 3600=Trinity) on Vodafone Germany on the other (dark) side of the Rhine with good UMTS coverage (at least two bars). When phoning to, say, a Samsung UMTS mobile phone, I receive good picture quality and reasonable sound quality. However, the other side fails to receive decent sound; what is arriving there is regularly sort of "chopped" and hardly understandable. I'm not sure about the reason for this, but I suspect that it is my "Trinity" that is misbehaving (too slow? inadequate configuration settings?), as the Samsung's video arrives nicely and has good quality. It could also be the other way, of course, or it could be a Vodafone network problem.
Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with the video call quality on the Trinity?
PS: Hello to everybody, I'm new to this forum, and I apologise for any misbehaviour in advance as it is not intended , and yes, I have used the "search" option .

A hard reset involves deleting all data, right? I'm not looking forward to configuring the ppc again, really. But I guess it's worth a try, as the AEG-principle hardly ever fails...

Hi Elfriede. Welcome to the forum. Case you are german (der Name klingt danach) try this forum too: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/forumdisplay.php?f=174
I sold my P3600 which I had bought from amazon just for the not working video calls. I then bought a Vodafone compact GPS... guess what... the video calls didn't work too. The guys at vodafone (which I had phoned 10 times for this problem and which had told me it must be my p3600's fault) just forgot to switch UMTS on!!! Now it works (I lost a few 100 € just because of vodafone-no-competence-service...)
Firstly, I nearly typed "Strongbow". Hmm
Secondly, got CROSSbow ROM on and works great. However, no video calling. I actually like the new keypad etc so I was wondering if anyone had got it working?
Cheers

Hi
I can't seem to find how to make video calls?
Even in a 3G area, icon on the screen showing me I'm in a 3G area I get no options on the phone to make a video call?
On all the screen shots I've seen there is a video call button on the dialup screen but not one on my trion?
Anyone got any ideas please?
Ta
what ROM are you running? What device are you using...we need more info before we can help you!!
Got that fed up with it I did a hard reset & this time it installed all the right settings & video calling was there after the reset!
Thanks for the reply.
If anyone else has this problem they will know what to do
that was a little extreme dont you think?
if you were using WM6 or even another rom that didnt have it all you would have had to find was the cab for the phone dialer. in the Hermes WM6 forum there are plenty around.
for future reference
Thanks for the info!
I think the video dailing didn't show because when I set the phone up it had a dud sim in it then I put my old 3G sim in, when I reset it went through a setup that didn't happen before, obviously downloading the cab files you mentioned!
Hi guys
I've just received my third v1605 from Vodafone (1st backlight broke on screen replaced under warranty, 2nd got run over by a car ) in three months. The latest one came with a new sim as my old one was destroyed in the accident. I've had the SIM activated and all my old settings reinstated from what I can tell.
I've got access to 3g so can access my ISP email and the web. I can make voice calls and send/receive SMS. One thing that is different to the previous two phones of this model I've had is the video calling function. The button is on the faceplate as before but when pressed it only opens a voice softphone screen. The software phone has no option at all for video calling. It looks like a completely different phone app to previously, certainly not the one shown in the manual. I've spoken to VF customer services who haven't a clue to be honest, although they do say there are 3g problems in the London area which may be the problem. (I can use 3g data services no problem and connect with HSDPA from what I can see (H Icon))
Any thoughts on how I can reinstate the correct software phone?
ROM version 2.07.161.1
ROM Date 02.06.07
Radio Version 1.32.00.00
Protocol Version 32.65.7020.09H
Model No HERM200
Cheers for any help you can offer.

Welcome to the forum.
I don't use the video function, but do have the same phone version (with vodafone) as you. One thing I do remember when playing with the phone when new is that if you hard reset, then soft reset to disable the vodafone customisations then you do lose the video functionality.
So, if yours is the stock vodafone rom you may need to hard reset to get back the video call function.
If it is stock rom but without the vodafone customisations you won't get video call function.
If it's the stock rom maybe you should try a hard reset - it might bring back the function - BUT make sure you back up all your data first because it'll be erased with the reset.
Also, if you are still using the stock vodafone rom, why not try one of the wm6 roms from this forum (I think Schaps 3.54 is one of the best). But before you do, please read lots (the stickies on these forums) especially about CID/SIM unlocking and olipro-2.10 before you start. A good place to start is mrvanx's guide.
Hope this helps a bit.
Cheers ach2. I'll investigate as you suggest.
I bought an unlocked O2 Exec off eBay and inserted a T-Mobile SIM but I don't see a video calling button in the dial application.
Can I video call? If not is there a way? If I installed a MDA Pro ROM would it work or would it brick?
Hello =)
I got mine from ebay with no video calls also...
If you dont see any video call bottons or settings in your device it means your rom is not updated to video calls.
One senior member told me there will have a very nice and upgraded one in around two weeks so just wait a bit and everything will be o.k
I am posting a link to the latest rom.
still with no video calls but I assume the next one will be around the same forum.

Have a nice day =)
use a WM5 ROM.the newest from Tmobile is very good.or maybe the previous owner disabled it because he doesnt need it.tweak the registry,u can fid it in the wiki.
