What is the videocall problem anyway?

[raffy56]

Hi. I have a universal. I have never upgraded my devices with any rom that is not officially released by htc. However, having had a WM6 Hermes (Which I gave to my girlfriend) I want to upgrade my old universal (which i now used after my girlfriend forced me to give her the hermes :( :sad:) to WM6. I have always been reluctant to upgrade through any unofficial rom but seeing that HTC may have abandoned the universal platform, i would like to try ranju's.

I just have a few questions...

1. What is the videocall problem anyway? I use video call a lot. This is my main concern.
2. Can i still install official updates after i do the procedures listed here. (Unlock CID, etc...)
3. Is there a way to return the device to it's original locked state. in case HTC would release an official update?
4. Would the ROMs know that they are running on an unlocked device? Is there any Effect?

1. The Video Call Problem Is The Complete Lack Of Videocall Support On WM6 UNI's (So If You Use It Alot Then WM6 Is Not For You.)

2. Yes, You Can Flash Any Rom After Unlocking.

3. I Dont Know About This One But Its Highly Unlikeley We Will Ever See An Official HTC WM6/6.1 Rom For The UNI.

4. Theirs No Difference Other Than Being Able To Flash Any Rom Or Use Any Simcard. (The Roms Dont Really Check Whether The Device Is Locked Or Not I Dont Think.)

What seems to be the cause of the problem? Correct me if i am wrong but i think WM5 also did not support video call. If I recall correctly, it is HTC's phone app that adds video call support to WM5 (As what i experienced with my uni, the WM5 phone apps do have video call function but do not work. nor do they accept incoming vc. If i interrupt the installation after hard resetting my phone, I do not have videocall. i need to install the apps in the extrom to have vc. my rom info: dopod 900 official rom version: 1.30.111 WWE 4/6/6, Radio : 1.11, Ext 1.30.230). Can't i just get the WM5 phone app cab file from my ExtROM and install that on Ranju's or Beasy's?

I read in some posts that they are able to do outgoing video calls but buggy. What's buggy? device hang? call drop? or is it just short pauses for data buffering, processing etc...?

Also some say that there is no incoming. What's missing? Is it just not ringing, or is it a problem with the RadioROM?

I Dont Know The Exact Specifics Of It As I Dont Know Anyone Who Uses It.
Some Of The GURUS Tried Hacking It In And Getting It Working But It Jus Doesnt Work. We Need HTC To Make VideoCall For Universal Work But They Wont.

One thing is certain, who gets to run the videocall in WM6 is set to become the number one. But so far it has not managed to anybody, I doubt that someone gets to run the videocall in WM6. In addition, I believe that now nobody is working on it more.:(
