Video Chat (same as the TyTn II)

I have the HTC Apache (XV6700) with WM6, and my friend has the HTC Hermes (8525) with WM6 too. His phone screen has an option for video call, but it doesn't work. Is there any info on this? I don't have that option on my WM6 version.
I'm assuming AT&T has a video chat feature (or maybe will have one soon). I saw on a review site for the TyTn II (here is a link http://smartmobilegadgets.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/htc-tytn-ii-the-ultimate-mobile-companion/) The phone has a camera in the front that acts as a video chat.
Is there any way to get this working on our phones?
Here is a pic from the link above.

Even if you could get it working would you really want to? Lets think about this for a minute...your camera is on the back of the phone..so you would have to choose whether you wanted to see the person on the other end or turn the phone around so they can see you. Kinda defeats the purpose of "video chat" doesn't it? Additionally they are a 3g device that can handle data and a phone call at same time. The apache is not..it handles data OR a phone call.

Some people are just clueless. You have a phone designed for a CDMA network. NO CARRIER in US offers true video calling right now. (cingular's video share is useless if you ask me). What makes you think it would work ?!

Top Paid Section missing in Android Market for Nexus One?

My top paid section is missing in the Android Market for the Nexus One. Anyone else see this? is there a reason why??

No its there. Are you in a not-yet-supported country? Maybe your provider hasn't done the necessary paperwork. Post some info!

that's odd. I am with tmobile. I did sign onto the market initially with WIFI and then with 3G. Anyone know how to correct this? I have to totally reformat? or can I just clear my market cache or something?

having the same issue, on t-mobile, i also went on with wifi before putting my sim in

Might wanna try a hard reset this time using 3G first to see what happens.

sorry to be a mega noob but i don't know how to hard reset it, i tried holding the ball and the power button and i get this fast boot screen thing.
edit: nevermind i found it, i feel stupid
edit2: that fixed the problem

Recently is disappeared the column of paid apps from my market
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They are present in "just in" and in the research, but the column is missing.
Is there a solution that does not involve the wipe?

I had this problem until I finally put my sim in. The market appearently uses the sim to validate your location. Could be you need a new sim from T-Mobile and there is some issue with yours.
I spent about three days setting up mine before moving the sim over and used wifi for everything. Once I put in the sim everything worked fine and it showed all the paid apps.

I have never had that Paid apps in my Market section.. I ordered my Nexus One and had my brother ship it over to me in Kuwait. It never saw my ATT sim card, only a local Wataniya SIM card.. Guess it will have to wait till I get home to be able to use that feature!

This helped me: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...daco-com/303251/paid-apps-android-market-1-6/
In special, the last part about the xml.

and cloud installation works like a charm! however, not all applications are supported on Notion Ink Adam.
Yes, i'm rooted. Probably won't work if you're not rooted since you dont have google service and you're not "logged" onto your google account

Are you Rooted? If so, anyone who hasn't rooted, please tryit and let us know!

Im not rooted atm and it works, but some apps arent compatible with the Adam, Google Maps/Google Earth for example.
Seems u still need Market installed since it loads info from it so u can download. So its useless for the adam currently.

Thanks guys for keeping us updated!
A bunch of us don't have or Adams yet and we live vicariously through you. Thanks again for posting your updates.

I wonder how it will determine that an app is compatible with the Adam. Does it go by characteristics (eg screen resolution, CPU, memory, ...) or does the developer have to specify what devices (or all) will work (eg what GameLoft does on their web page).

that's a good question. i think they just list it as an unknown device in their database. i always wonder what happens if modify the default.prop file to something like Samsung Tab....

Right. So we may have to play with this file to be able to buy compatible software if Adam is not listed.
Buying at GameLoft for my Galaxy Fascinate can be painful. When they gave away Dungeon Hunter for the holidays I had to find a version for one of the sister phones because they had not tested it on mine so it did not show when I went to their site on my phone. I hope they figure out a better way.

My guess is if you have market installed and working, it should show up as a device on your "my market account" as an option.

Weird location issue.

I got myself an unlocked Note3 on launch day and since switching from Note 2 to Note 3 I've noticed that when my phone is in standby my location keeps going to somewhere off the coast of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Wouldn't be so bad but I'm in the NorthEast of Scotland (up by Aberdeen) and it really throws stuff off why trying to use location based services in the first few minutes.
Has anyone else noticed this type of drift when sleeping?

If your location is being detected by mobile phone bases rather than gps it is probably due to the equipment in the base station having moved. This happens from time to time when a mobile operator fixes a fault at a base station and does not reprogram the cell id upon which the phone relies to get the location. There are some apps like Cellmapper that will let you see the cell ids that are supposed to be in an area and apps like Tasker that will get them in real time

If you find my post useful, a click on the 'thanks' is appreciated.

Thanks I'll have a look at that.
Only thing is it doesn't really matter where I am but the false location is always the same.
I've seen this in Aberdeen city and also in Peterhead and Fraserburgh.

That's more inexplicable.....although there must be a reason!

I have seen mine move around quite a few times.

Today takes the biscuit.
Just glanced at my phone and my weather is for Bani Walid (in Libya). Is my phone trying to tell me something?

Can't tell from the video's software can easily be faked + theres very little showiong apart from boot :S very suspicious...
are these video's the facebook guys videos?
easiest way to check
Ask for the IMEI number ( and not just a number... ask for proof of the IMEI on the device Screen&back of the device)
TIP - The IMEI is in settings - about device - status - IMEI information
its a 15 digit code.
and then check it here http://www.imei.info/
that will tell you what phone it is.
Failing that get him to upload pictures of each side of the device.(the device looks are a big give away if fake) the IMEI should be on the back of the phone anyway
as you can see here -

however i would not reccomend buying a phone from anywhere apart from official dealers
too many scams involved its just not worth the discount.

If you have to ask the question, then it's probably already a bad decision.

Also if it's a stolen phone IMEI will show valid till carrier shuts it down so make sure u know the person or can hold him accountable

AndroIDentity is an app that can tell the real ID of a device. If run on a fake phone it will not be recognized as a genuine one, and if the fake is on its database, it will tell what the real manufacturer and model it is. Besides, it also identifies several other hardware and software parameters (such as the presence of Knox, JAva VM runtime, memory, screen size, and several other parameters) that will also help identifying if the device is Genuine or not. AndroIDentity recognizes 15,950 devices.
