[Q] Metro apps Doesn't recognize Webcam - Windows 8 General

As i wrote metro apps doesn't recognize my A4Tech webcam
None of them not work.Skype and Default Camera apps
I searched much on google,But not found solution
Can anyone help ?

Anyone ?

Check in devices Open Explorer, paste this to address bar):
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Devices and Printers
If it's there but shown as not working, download driver from manufacturer and install it.
If it's not there, make sure the webcam works at all, and then make sure you've got the driver.
If it's there and works in desktop apps, then make sure you didn't do something silly like tell Metro apps they aren't allowed to use it. In a Metro app, hit Win+i (or otherwise bring up the Settings charm), select Permissions, and make sure the app is allowed to use "Webcam and microphone".

Camera is working for desktop apps, only problem it's not working with metro apps like skype
BTW i can't find where to select permissions ?

There is no need for smartass replies like that.
The quick command keys are not blatantly obvious. They weren't in any manual I got, only found out about them via forums

Do you, by any means, have an ATI Radeon graphics card, and have the Catalyst Beta Drivers for Windows 8 installed?

The point is that I quoted directly from my previous post... if you waste people's time asking them to repeat themselves in a freaking *written forum* they will extract some amusement out of the situation, probably at your expense.

lloydstsb banking problem

Hi all, first post so go easy on me not sure i'm in the right forum, had my dhd for about two weeks now and can't fault the phone, but tried to get internet banking on it and can't seem to get it to download, I followed all of the instructions on the lloydstsb website and I get as far as downloading a file (downloadclient.jad) but when I try to open it the phone asks me to complete action using either DB editor or file editor, if I then open it with either I just get a load of text? i'm stuck, any help would be great.
P.s the program is monitise
Thanks hOOter343.............
Just go through the site as you normally would.
Change your browser to non-mobile view in the settings.
Just make sure your on https and not on a public wifi network.
I didn't bother with the app, lose your phone and your buggered.
Thanks flacid monkey, will do that it seems safer.

Metro Stuff Gone

Hi! I've got Windows 8 Pro via one of the hospitals here in Norway, and it almost works like a charm ... Some of my important tiles like the Desktop-tile and Windows Store-tile is gone. Even the Metro PC Settings is gone. When I try to open it via the Charms Bar, nothing happens. I've had a look in the Start-Menu folder under Programs, and the shortcuts are there. So I tried to find the Shortcuts in the Windows Folder, which I succeded with, but I can't copy them in there. I get a message who says that The Operation can't be done, because the file I was trying to replace is in use by another application. I've also tried to open the Shortcuts from the original folder, without success, except the PC Settings shortcut, which only opens the normal Control Panel. So it's kinda frustrating. I've made myself a shortcut to the desktop which I placed on the Metro Page, but I really want the store and settings to work. So, does anybody know how to replace those .lnk file, or have another fix that' not resetting/refreshing Windows (that would be my very last option, as I lose my settings)
Hope someone can give me some help

I'm assuming it's a work computer. If so, it's based on how the computer was set up by your IT department. I would contact whatever people within your organization are in charge, but they have probably set the computer up that way on purpose.
Actually, no, it isn't a work computer. I know a guy at the hospital who work with IT, and I knew he had earlier tried the previews, so when I was at RTM, I asked him which version he had, and then, he sendt the .iso file for both 32 & 64bit versions... So it is my private computer...

That's pretty strange then. Is this a fresh install, or have you been using it for a bit?
This may be a simple answer but its worth asking in case you didn't think of it. Have you just unpinned them from the start menu? ie if you can launch the start screen can you type desktop or store and they come up? If so you can right click and pin to desktop.
I upgraded from Win7, but I've only kept data. I've refreshed it one time. I've not unpinned the tiles, and they won't come up as an search result when I search for them

to be clear, when you searched for them you just tapped the win key to bring up the tiles then typed desktop?
you don't need to click or do anything other than win key and type
Yup! The only thing that comes up is my self-made shortcut for showing the desktop. Very strange, I think...

Take over phone using a tablet

Hi all,
I recently bought a nexus 7 and i already own a nexus s.
What i want to do is take over my phone using my tablet, so i can use whatsapp and text app's. But also others.
Does anyone know if there is an app that will let me do this?
I have searched but found nothing.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Predrag

If you mean mirror your phone to your nexus then no.
If you mean you you want to be able to text from your tablet:
TabletTalk
TabletSMS
Check them out?
I'm not sure if the nexus s supports mirroring via the usb port, but if it does then you could probably use your tablet as a display to your phone

No, i dont want to mirror it rather take it over, like using remote desktop on windows pc.

If you mean using your tablet to receive text and calls then theres this app called "tablet talk" on the market. You will need to have either both Bluetooth ON or you can do it over wifi i think.
Hope it helps.
You guys are misunderstanding him. What he wants is a remote-control app for his tablet so he can control his phone, and although he wants it to seemingly make things "easier" by using his tablet to text, my solution isn't the best and smoothest option (but it works). Your best bet is to use an IM app that supports all the protocols you want to chat through and have it installed on both your phone and tablet. Like someone mentioned, to get SMS on your tablet you'll need something like TexTab.
Anyway, my solution works, if you use the app "Droid VNC Server" on your phone, and then use a VNC-Viewer either on your Tablet or on your PC. The "Droid VNC Server" is free, but the official VNC Viewer is not. There may be alternatives, though.
Droid VNC Server: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lt#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5vbmFpcHMudm5jIl0.
Another VNC Viewer I found which seems free "Android VNC-Viewer": https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFuZHJvaWQuYW5kcm9pZFZOQyJd
I can confirm that the "Droid VNC Server" and a VNC Viewer on your PC/Tablet works to view your phone's screen on your tablet and even control your phone through your tablet as my dad often needs help with his phone. All he does is start the Droid VNC Server app and I have his IP saved, and I just connect.
It's slow, but it gets the job done if you really need it.
Good luck!

Control Your Note 10.1 From Your PC - Including Using S Note

This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

Thanks so much, just too tired to look properly...
Here's a DB link to the skin files that are installed on my PC. They aren't labeled by device but one of the five is for the Note 10.1. Good luck.

Great app indeed. 8 hours up without a single issue. For coping and pasting you can try PushPullet. I use on my chrome to push text and list fast to my droid.

WOW!! Great find!!
This is a great tool, thank you very much for sharing! I have it installed and it is working very well.
This is exactly what I was looking for, something that allows me to easily connect to my Note and utilize S notes (or whatever) with my computer keyboard.
I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??
Can you tell me how you copy paste into the tab using this tool.. I want to copy text from PC and paste into tab using mobizen screen.

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

Upload various APK's

Hi there, I have an aussie galaxy note 3, and it came with a series of quirks that are really annoying me
First, the touchwiz launcher - you cannot edit the bottom row of icons in the dock, they are fixed.
The camera - The autofocus and camera shutter are ridiculously loud and cannot be shut off
The gallery - There is no auto rotate, to rotate to landscape, you must put your phone in landscape mode and then click on an icon to rotate.
Could someone please upload the above apks from their non aussie device? This means I could install them over the top of my existing ones?
Or is there an easier way of doing this? I tried deleting all the sound files in system/media/ui (everything like camerashutter.ogg) and still no success.
Cheers.

You may need to push them to /system/app via adb. Additionally, you might just need to resign them. Sorry I didn't test it beforehand. I just pulled them straight off my N3. I can try it once I get home from work later tonight.

Thats what I did, maybe the apks the guy uploaded were bad. - I deleted the old apks after making backups with titanium so no issue
A guy on whirlpool said he just flashed another regions firmware, and that let him silence the camera and modify the bar at the bottom.
I don't have mine yet so can't test...
Does anyone know if that would mean the region locking would suddenly apply if i did that?

I dunno what to tell you. The apks were pulled straight from my phone which is running this rom
If your phone is N9005 then you did a huge mistake ..
Extract what you want from omega rom.

You got it all wrong guys. Changing the apks won't do sh*t.
You need to remove a few of lines in your others.xml relating to this. I am on Aussie firmware and have done it already.
Search system/csc/others.xml and open with text editor in Root Explorer. I am in a rush now but if you can't locate the lines to remove I will find later for you.
Once deleted save & exit then reboot.
Done and enjoy
Just intalled omega rom, so don't worry about it. May as well post it for others.
