Video call with N810
 
Hello,

I took this N810 a week ago, and i am totally new to this maemo platform. so can any one help me on these issues below :

1) Is video calling is possible on N810 - and with which application ?
does it work with skype ?
Currently i could make only voice calls on skype.
if skype does not work, is there an application that can use googletalk for video calls ?


2) how can i use google voice with the dialcentre - it always asks me for a callback no.
and i am not able to find the right place even on googlevoice to register that callback no.


3) I find N810 too slow in launching any applications - how can i enhance the speed.

4) How can i delete the games which are preinstalled in the N810. I do not use much of gaming applications. I just would like to increase some space.

5) Heard that N810 has inbuilt GPS -
Is there a good GPS application to run it
there are so many in the installable applications - which one is the easiest and consumes less space.
i found this freemap-il but it does not look like in english...

I am totally new to this maemo, but want to explore, i have searched a lot of forums and threads on maemo, but could not find clear answers...

hence posting this new one.........

please help

2) Since Gizmo shut down, you need to get a sip account.
http://www.sipgate.com/

This will be your callback number.

3) Install Diablo Turbo and the Community SSU

Not skype, but it does work with XMPP (jabber) and possibly SIP accounts.

Not sure about google's specific service, http://blog.barisione.org/2011-06/broken-gtalk-calls/ casts some doubt.

Maemo mapper works best for me.

You 'wish' install .deb packages better.

You should install CSSU first.

It sounds like you skipped this part of the installation instructions:

Quote:
Create directory /media/mmc1/dt (your external SDHC card)
move all saved dt files to this location

Installing the Diablo

Re: Video call with N810
 
Video call works with the built-in software on the N810 using google talk... I gave a N810 to my mother for that purpose and have been using for a few years now. The limitation is that the N810 will only do video calls to another N810, N800 or N900.

Skype video does not work on the N810 and probably never will. It does work on the N900.

Welcome rimadreamer. Here are some things I found useful for your same issues when I was first getting started.

2) http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=30528

3) definitely Diablo Turbo

4) I think you can remove most games through the application manager

5) I like maemomapper.

Enjoy!

Re: Video call with N810

3) I am unable to remove the unwanted games like "mahjong" ....is there a way to remove it from applications ?

Not the case, it's just that both sides need to have common codecs. Video calls work fine between the N810 and empathy for instance.

You can move around the icons in the applications menu:
Control-panel->Panels->Applicatons->Organize
Then drag and drop

If you just want to remove the icons from the menu, you can move the desktop files somewhere else, or even delete them (but then you wouldn't be able to restore them)
Code:
root
cd /usr/share/applications/hildon/
mv chess_startup.desktop maemoblocks.desktop maemodrac.desktop mahjong_startup.desktop /root
It is even possible to uninstall all the games packages, but that would uninstall the osso-software-version-* package, and since you don't seem to understand the system internals, I advise you against it.

Try to improve your question. I don't understand it.

It's clear, the parameter type is a string. If you don't understand this, read any introductory book on computer programming.

Hello,

I am not able to connect my tablet to PC via USB. and when i check on the USB networking option in the control panel section it gives me an error as "module insertion failed". what does this mean

n9ots 2011-10-11 14:33
Re: Video call with N810
 
did you enable virtual memory (control panel > memory > virtual)?
this will keep the device from connecting via usb

Reread your post. wondering if you installed usbeth app. if so you also need to install usbcontrol for it to work.
first use usb control to set device to host mode
then attempt usb networking

never tried this myself ... just read instructions for apps

Re: Video call with N810
 
I believe the 66.35.236.25 address stopped working. I have since updated mine with 64.14.59.165. So, your commands would be:

$ gconftool --type string --set /system/osso/supl/agps_srv_address "64.14.59.165"

$ gconftool --type string --set /system/osso/supl/slp_address "64.14.59.165"

Do you know of a client for the Mac that allows video calls with the N8x0? I have looked exhaustively but been unable to find something that worked.

Re: Video call with N810
 
I'm the wrong person to ask about Macs, but it looks like empathy at least is available via both fink and macports.
