Just a bit. Turns TyTn into a pretty passable webcam trial limited to 25 secs though.It has photo, video and webcam as basic features with a range of settings under each. Got a little bored with photo and video as these facilities are already available without this app. Webcam could have possibilities but not enough for me to by application.
I'm probably just a bit of a plonker but I have not found how you get it to use the front camera. Perhaps some enlightened guru can let us/me know.

Tap the screen to bring up menu -> settings -> sensor -> change main to front (this is for the beta).
Hi guys,
Since my Universal is dead I've just brought an HTC Tytn.
There is any way to access the front videocam? In Universal you just need to go to camera app and choose the front camera, where you can take pictures and make videos.
In Hermes camera app you can only access the 2.0mpx cam... I've already installed Coolcamera 1.5b and I still can't choose the front VGA videocam.
Any suggestions?
Tks

PS. No 3G networks available in Brazil, so no videocalls yet...

I had same problem, but some folks have said coolcamera can access front camera - maybe someone can let us know how it's done with coolcamera?
Mike
yup coolcamera let's you access it, you just switch from main to frontcam, you can take pics and all using it.
photo / settings / sensor / front
If you go into settings there is a setting called "Sensor" ... you need to change that from 'Main' to 'Front' and then it will capture from the front camera.
Hope this helps

Great! Thanks again folks...
hi
it's possible access to front camera without use coolcamera?
thx
I can use the front camera now with coolcamera but the screen is 90 rotated to the right. There is no way which I could correct this even if I change the rotation setting. Can someone help, please?

Yeah. I get that too.
Also, Probably me being dense, I can't seem to get the web cam to actually work on my pc.
I can set the IP address in the pda to that of my PC. The port is 2047 on both devices, but nothing seems to appear.
What am I doing wrong?

Difficult to say. Presume ypu have used d-pad or jog wheel on device to select webcam mode. Presume you have started the coolcam software on your PC and a coolcam window (which is expandable) has opened on your screen with instructions as to the next steps to take. And finally that your active sync connection is live. Sometimes I get the window on PC coming up blank/black in which case I close PC application and restart it.
The little 90 symbol on screen should rotate image. If not and restarting does not make it work, I think I'd reload the software.

On CoolCamera forums support said that the rotaton issue is a bug they're aware of and will fix later. Nothing you can do for now.

I wonder though why it affects some and not others. Mine is ok - rotates fine.

Happy holidays to everyone.
I live in India and I dont have 3G network to test the front video camera of my JASJAM. So downloaded the trial version of CoolCamera software and installed it in my device. Then changed the sensor to front, hoping to see some picture. However the display was black and no picture/video was displayed.
I contacted i-mate live support and was told by the support person that it is not possible to test the front camera without 3G network and that they don't support 3rd party software.
Could the problem be with the front video camera?
Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks
Ram

I have not heard this reported before. Obviously you can test the front camera without 3G using the CoolCam software.
I would hesitate to think there's a problem with Camera until I had tried Coolcamera several times and possibly even uninstalled it and re-installed it - i.e tend to think more of a software issue first.

Chosing the lens
I just got CoolCamera. How do you change between the front and rear lens?

Lost Front Camera Function
I recently switch my phone from the GER to WWE Cingular ROM, and once I did that, I lost the front camera function. I didn't load any of the extended rom files when I reloaded. Did it contain a cab that enabled this feature. If I please the button, it does nothing.
Thanks

Well as Cingular don't currently support video calling I suppose that may be possible- but I have not heard about it.
Let's see if someone else does
EDIT: in fact the following link shows a post by Rassah that seems to say Front Cam support is included with Cingular ROM. (Mind you he seems to have a mixture of different things there including parts of the TyTn ROM so ????)

you could always test it with microsoft portrait, its an IP based video calling software that is in beta testing, if you look for it you should be able to find it...
The video call hardware button will not function with any Cingular ROMS. However, video call capabilities can still be had if you load the TyTN extrom. You just have to be content with using the software button that's on the dialer app if you want to make a video call.
FWIW, even when the video button is working it merely does exactly what pressing the green call button does: bring up the dialer app.
As far as the front camera function itself goes, CoolCamera worked just fine for it on my TyTN (the image is rotated 90 degrees CCW tho...) when I was running the v1.31 Cingular ROM.
Thanks for the info, do you know which cab in the extened rom gives me that feature, or will I have to load them all?

Just in case Sleuth255 is busy right now (he probably knows the exact answer!) we know it must be one of the ones that Rassah has listed on his post on this thread;

I successfully installed the i-nigma reader on my Mogul and it SEEMS to work but after opening the camera and snapping the pic, nothing comes from it. Has anyone got the reader to work on their Mogul?
i-nigma.com if you are wondering what I'm talking about
I was playing with a business card OCR program and that didn't work with my Mogul because the camera can't focus well enough on something that close. The issue you're seeing is probably the same...
Anyone know if its possible to make the clarity of "macro focus" pictures better?

Since the phone is 2mpix, you're probably better off holding it far away and using the digital zoom to enlarge the area to scan. If the lens can focus, 2mpix is more than enough to zoom in on just the card before losing clarity.
The i-nigma should work on your Mogul

Hi dragon_76
I'm part of the developing group of 3GVision, who develop the i-nigma. On Sep 07 the i-nigma application didn't work on windows Mobile 6 devices. From Oct 07, we started support WM6. Please go to www.i-nigma.com and install the new version, it should work now. Please feel free to email me impression.
Thanks

No need to snap with the i-nigma
The i-nigma work as scanner, there is no need to snap anything, just put the barcode in front of the camera and it will scanned automatically
i installed i-nigma on my wm6 t-mobile vario II.
It works fine, but the camera is flipped making it difficult to aim, (ie left is right and right is left, when in landscape. In portrait the image is upside down and up is down and down is up)
Anyone got this? and also, is there anythnig else on the site, all i get is the install link (when browsing via pda, work blocks the site via pc) could do with a help section, or FAQ.
Regards

What he said, I've had it on my phone for well over a month and it works fine without any problems. You don't have to take a picture of anything, it read the bar code as soon as it is in view.
It's a version issue. I had 1.26 installed, from my 6700 switch, but it was always buggy, often needing multiple soft resets, so installed v1.40, but have the same issue as the first post.
yup, 1.26 works on my mogul 2.17rom.

I Installed I-nigma on my mogul. Interesting program, nice to have. scans and decodes really quick. however i had the same "backward" issue. But u can fix it by editing the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3GVisionInigma\i-nigma\option
"PreviewDirection_31" = 0
change 0 to 2
it will fix the backwards camera. However it won't fix the landscape issue cuz the program wasn't design to operate in landscape mode, the camera preview won't rotate.
It's really worth keeping now.

i wouldn't second this. adding a contact with quickmark resulted in a "," behind the name and a "h" behind the number.
i-nigma does add the contact on a right way.
Re: use back camera
i am using o2 flame, can i-nigma support back camera ?
I think there a bug with the autofocus on the phone, can't focus on the center, every picture it focus only the back like in portrait mode.
Anyone having the same problem?
True, it is backfocus.
The same happens on my two units.
I am looking for a registry value that allows to change the focus point, but I have not found anything yet.

It's touch-focus. You have to tab on the screen where you want to focus.
It is a back focus problem.
I've tested autofocus. I used the same patterns that I use with my SLR camera. I made a central focus in testing, I placed the object in the center of the image. The result is that there backfocus.
