Is there a VOIP application with Video support available for Windows Mobile?
The new Skype still doesn't support this.
Yes there is, tivi uses standard SIP and VOIP protocols, you can for example call someone on other sip accounts with tivi. Also take a look at the following post.

Looks like there's nothing stable out for it yet if I read the post under the link.
Wierd, I'd think that this is the future of communicating.
All these Phones with camera's and wifi and no video chat app?

Don´t forget that most providers don´t want this and most sold cellphones ar bought with a contract of one of these providers. Furthermore, some providers in europe don´t allow VoIP via 3d/HSDPA. So there is simply nearly no market except for some nerds like us
As your providers hotline would answer: "Simply use the build in video-call"

Well, regardless of what providers may or may not want, this question is still about the software.
Nobody can forbid me to use Wifi (hotspots) to use this functionality.
And I'm definitly looking towards the future. I believe video communication is going to be a standard.

So were we told around year 2000 as UMTS/3G came on the table. Today it works but nearly no one uses it. I don´t think it will change with VoIP in the mobile sector. People don´t want it.
...
OK we do like it. But even we don´t need it really. It´s just for fun. The other thing is Vid-oIP from Netbooks to hold connection to People (loved ones) who are maybe overseas.
For example, Apple irgnored these function completely when construction iPhone 2 (3g). So their analysts came to the result that the marked is not interested.
Deadbeef, yes I am also looking for this kind of application, sitting in a cafe and video-chat with other pc-skype people...
I already posted this in the Tmobile US HD2 section but just in case you're not looking there... Bing has added Voice Nav with turn by turn directions!

http://pocketnow.com/software-1/bing-for-windows-mobile-now-has-real-navigation-features
It appears to work really well for folks in the US... other countries ymmv for now. This is a great FREE app for Windows Mobile! Now I don't have to buy CoPilot Live!!!!!
Yes yes yes!!!!
thanks this is great

Never hurts to have a backup, and it does look very nice....
Its about time thougt that MS sorted our this US only BS, you cant compete if you dont actually have a working product.
sadly still only support for US, UK, Italy, France Still I use GMaps when travelling, it's just easier to handly then iGo and it has phone numbers etc. matching your destination.

The UK version is probably the worst app you can get for the HD2. This new US version looks a lot better and works to a certain degree in the UK but navigation doesn't work outside US and the voice search is next to useless as I don't say say "have a nice day y'all" on the end of each search (needs an American accent probably)

Lol! Hopefully MS will continue to make improvements and add regions to the app... I'm very, very impressed with the new version and the voice input works very well for me... (I don't end my sentences with "have a nice day y'all" either , maybe the version you downloaded was corrupted, hehe).
have a nice day y'all!

I agree, but... A) this is free! B) I already own a GPS but no longer have to carry an additional piece of consumer electronics along with me. C) I have the (unlimited) data plan anyway so no downside for me in using it...

Hi,
I am currently a Milestone (running CM7) owner and am looking to transition to a faster more modern phone.
I don't like the "feel" of the Desire Z and REALLY need a slide out keyboard.
Here go a few "basic" questions that am hoping the regulars here can answer.
1)
Has anybody heard of plans for a MS2 that works on the 850/1900 3G+ bands typically used by ATT/Rogers/Telus/Bell in North America (and a few other providers around the world. I would even accept rumors at this point...
I don't want to end up with EDGE connectivity on an imported phone.
2)
What is the state of ROMs and Devs for this phone. I could not find much in the dev section. Is anything available? Is anything secretly in the works?
3) Are people happy with the "feel" and build quality of the phone? I am pretty rough on my devices so I need something solid (Gorilla glass and solid keyboard are NECESSARY).
Thanks
1. I think ppl in Brazil are on 850/1900 3G+ type bands and they are able to use 3G on this phone, so I believe the answer should be yes.
Though some1 from that region (or some1 using this phone in US) can confirm..
2. There is one custom ROM right now: Argen2Stone by santiemanuel. You can check about it in dev section. mikevhl and owain are trying to build another ROM. Plus we had some initial interest from Angdroid for Fission but haven't had any updates from him of late.
3. I'm pretty happy with the build quality of the phone (it ain't light though, but then thats what makes the feel solid and sturdy). There are no scratches on my phone screen till now and I have been using it for almost four months and I don't use any covers for it.
Hope thats of some use..

That was of great use. Thanks.
I will check out the local carriers in brazil and am greatly reassured about build quality. My MS1 is heavy but, like you said, that is the reason i love it.

Plus there is a baseband switcher app (i.e. if you are planning to purchase the phone from say Europe) which switches the baseband from 900/1800 to 850/1900 and vice versa.
It is available on this forum in the dev section as well.

Really? Are you certain what this app does? To my knowlege, motorola does not include the hardware to do this, except on PRO versions of phones. On the Milestone 1, such apps are used to switch euro roms to north american baseband...but not euro phones to north american 3g.
But my Q9h pro used to work in this way, so i will take a look. Thxx for the tip.

I believe it won't work with 3G on T-mobile.. That uses 1700 base AWS for GSM. The baseband app only switches between 900/1800 and 850/1900.. Those are the radios that Milestone 2 has I guess..
Thats the extent of my knowledge.
This is pretty sweet if true. I could not find the app in the dev section, but i am now on vacation and have limited time for research.
I dont need tmo...just something thhat gives me 3g or more on ATT and Rogers.

Just realized that the built-in Storage Analysis function in Device Care settings is powered by 360 Security.
As far as i know this is an app written by the Chinese and is highly probably comtaining hidden spyware that send confidential data to the Chinese government.
Any chance we can disable it, so that even clicking into that menu won't do nothing? I rather not use that funciton but to be safe. I was trying to use adhell to disable something but couldn't identify which system app is it.

Hey there,
is there any hard evidence, that it sends package data to chinese-based servers, other than those mentioned regular update requests/database updates? AdGuard firewall log or something would be helpful. :good:

One shouldt always be sceptical when it comes to personal data. There have been incedents with data extraction in the past, older Xiaomi smartphones running dated firmwares were collecting personal data and sent it back home to chinese servers.
On the other hand, the amount of data Google collects from each and every Android device is quite terrifying. And I don't think that Google is the most trustworthy company in the world...

oh yes, i believe Google is collecting my data as much as I believe in I am a child of my mom.
But it comes down to reputatuon and which one is more harmful. Google is a commercial cooperate, and PRC? lol
I am using android anyway, so no matter what google has got my data, why share another copy with the Chinese?
But Samsung isn't a Chinese company, so why would they do this? I could understand if this was Huawei or Xiaomi.

Probably because Vietnam isn't the home of a security software company. ? China... Vietnam, you're probably splitting hairs anyway.
BTW, where was your phone manufactured. In the US they use McAfee which is probably my most unfavorite next to Norton.

I guess the main reason is that there's no other good alternative in the market. Maybe there's better option but will you pay for that?
The hilarious thing in this post is that the "blind-love" to google, which makes my day My 2 cents are that in S10 there are more parts comes from Chinese venders than ever, so if you are afraid of that, maybe the best way is not use a mobile at all.

Thanks for a post that is almost 100% BS and factually wrong. Julian Assange was Australian and he was a fugitive from a British arrest warrant. Chelsea Manning leaked intelligence documents and as far as I know wasn't involved in cyber crime. Where your hatred of the good 'ol American way of life originates I don't have a clue but apparently it didn't originate in school.
you guys might not know much about china and privacy in china, so just think steal personal data is a joke, as a guy who live in Hong Kong, i can tell you this is much more scary than you though, just like the huawei 5G in US now, many years ago, people in HK already know china company will steal data , but US just realise this recently...

what you said about USA might be true but at least they have freedom of speech.
Do you know in China certain words / phrases which speak the truth about PRC (such as 4th June 1989) or Xi Jinping's nickname, are filtered and monitored on EVERYBODY's phone and EVERY apps, so that you cannot even send those words out and police officers could just turn up at your door to arrest you.
Also, i havent seen any partnership between organizations like facebook and google with the US government... but Huawei, QQ (360 security), Xiaomi?? HAHAHAHAHA

i cannot live without a mobile, so i pick the "better" option.
A bit like the call screening function Hiya on the devices and also another call screening option on T Mobiles end that one cannot disable. They all steal and share the data.

First, Welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here.
As for the 6P, it is working fine. My understanding is that the bans are for new & future devices.

This ban will not only effect people that live in the US. Google is a USA based company, so it effects play services as a whole.
Thank you, for your answers.
I asked this question because a friend just came back from New-york, and he told me his Huawei didn't cast the network.
When he was back, his mobile work again.
I suppose, i ll see that by myself

You're welcome.
Consider that Europe uses GSM, I believe and we use CDMA in the USA. Maybe that was an issue?
Beyond that, US distributed phones (not including the ones who had battery & boot loop issues, of course ?) are working fine but phones from outside the US could potentially be "suspect" so maybe there's a way they don't allow them to work? But I doubt it.
Perhaps your carrier can tell you...
God bless & I really hope you enjoy your stay ?.

What I have read is that the ban will only effect newer phones. An old phone like the 6P should be fine. Have you heard/read differently?
@NatesLaw
No. That's correct that devices that have already had access to play stores will continue. *as it stands now* and what I mean by that is trump already hammered the mfg once, if he says three months from now that google can't support even devices that already had access, I'm not sure google can fight that.
I was mainly stating the fact that the new devices that come out won't have access to play services period. His post made it sound like he thought they would only not be available In the US, but it would be worldwide since google is based in the US.
Realistically though, people could find a way to hack the api on the playstore apk to male it work on their devices, its the same way people have found a way to make play store work on phones running MIUI. In theory MIUI should never be able to run the play store apk, but that just isn't the case.
Hello guys,
Thank you for your help. I will give you a feed back soon
