Re: N900 on pr 1.3 or v20.2010.36-2.002 no skype video calling option
 

I'll think you'll find that its because they cant help and its the only advice they can give, it really does pee me off.:mad: We are a community and this is what the forum is supposed to be, a way of sharing and getting the most out of a device that we have all spent a great deal of money on.

I think you need to check the Video call box in the settings of the Contacts list.
I had it off for a while but people could do skype calls with video with me, but i couldn't do skype calls with video to them.

Hope that helps

Now you sound ridicilous, post and thanks count has nothing to do with what I said. yes I was suspecting and i had reason to do so. I wont apoligize and what i said is true there are people who troll and start flame wars I'm glad your're not one of them :)

and one more thing
As i mentioned there was a thread about exact same issue but it went in the wrong direction and mods closed it, hence some people were angry about it and they could have done something like that

SAMETHING happened to me bro. I just went to my phone dealer and he confirmed that it is an unlocked US version with 1 year warranty. it is not an Indian version phone!

Anyone have any real idea of how to make this work? Please let Rohan and I know. thanks

I dont have that option in my Contact Setting! Weird? Man, I might have to flash my phone!


actually I do! What i meant was that I still do not have video option after i unchecked that button and rechecked it again! No video calling option on my girl skype account. only IM and Voice Call

One thing i noticed instead. This cold be not related to what you are asking though.

I have that video calling option but this actually would work only if the account that i'm video calling to is logged into a Skype for windows. If this account i want to talk to is logged on a skyper for linux this would not work. I can start a video call but he would not get the video.
On the other side, the one at the skype for linux side cannot start a video cal to me even if the little camera and the mobile icons are shown aside me in the contact list! This is really annoying and worked in PR1.2!

Not the way to conduct yourself on a community forum, and as this is a community this thread is not owned by anyone (except maybe the TMO servers)

Can you confirm which firmware version you are using.
You can easily find this out by going menu -> settings -> about product.
Post up what it says under 'Version'.

Are you on GPRS or wifi? try switching between them. also try logging one account on the computer and see if you will be able to initiate the video call. also, try to call regularly and then hit options, turn camera on. let me know if this helps.

Got my video option to work!!!

My phone dealer got it to work!! and who said skype cannot be install separately?? u can install it separately... i just dont know how. i paid 10 bucks to the guy and he install a separate skype for me... it works now. video option available.

it seems like these phone dealers have some tricks in installing software or something. i asked but they refused to say. they tell me to bring my other phone to them for another 10 dollars and they will install.

oh well, i rather pay 20 bucks for 2 n900 rather than wasting endless hours on this. thanks guys.


mod. please close thread!
