I tried to enable this option for the G-alarm but it seems that x1 do not have light sensor.
This is strange because the auto light features work perfectly, anyone knows whether it is G-alarm problem or it actually does not have a light sensor?
The XPERIA absolutely have a light sensor but those programs can't utilize it.
It's a problem in API used by those programs (G-Alarm, Lumos etc.).
I've had discussed this matter with nik3r (author of Lumos) and he helped me find the solution but didn't found it yet.
The problem is XPERIA is using another API, differently from those HTCs.
What we have to do is reverse engineer the API from the XPERIA itself and integrate it into those programs. (That's how they do it with HTCs device)
May be someone can do it?

I have the O2 Trion and have had very few issues, apart from not waking up from sleep mode about twice a week, however is there anyone out there who can help with a feature that I would like to do:
I would like to use the front Video Cam with Skype.
Any feedback would be great.
I think we'd all like to do this... probably will require a special/new version of Skype for the Hermes...
... or the Skype team needs to find the WM5 SDK.
I don't know anything about this, other then to say that from what I understand, the normal photo camera (back) is accessible through API, but the front camera (self portrait) isn't. But that's only a hunch based on the Universal.

Ah! I think you're right about this...
Well, hopefully Skype finds a way...
skype support for hemrems coming up in september: http://www.ateksoft.com/de/download.html
Is there any API for fingerprint management? I would like to develop an application which manages the fingerprint captured. Thank You.
BR,

I could be wrong, but I don't think a normal touchscreen can reconize fingerprints. It sees a finger as a big stylus and not as different pressure-lines...
If I'm wrong please correct me, because a fingerprint-reader would be cool!
As you can see in the next link
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/products/htcp6500.html, it says "Fingerprint ID sensor secures device and critical data". I suppose that there will be a HTC application to enroll and recognize fingerprint.
yeah... but if u look closely at the pda, the finger print sensor is actually at the bottom center part of the body, not the screen itself..
I already know that the fingerprint sensor is actually at the bottom center part of the body .... I think I didnt make myself clear. The fingerprint sensor is similar to the one that HP iPAQ Pocket PC h5500 Series have, http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11646_na/11646_na.html.
My question is I if I can develop biometric apps with HTC P6500.

If HTC can, I'm sure you could. No? That's the beauty of WinMo. I don't know how though. Sorry.
Thanks for your answer. The problem is if there isn't a public sdk to management the swiped fingerprint (manufacturer), I don't know how can I do it. This processing doesn't depend on Windows Mobile SDK. I have 4 years of windows mobile apps experience (eVC++, .NET Compact Framework).
...something new?
Hi Merimm,
I'm trying to get control over the fingerprint scanner on the P6500 PDA.
My situation is the same as yours, but I don't have any idea about SDKs since I can't find to much information about th Qualcomm processor or the manufacturer's scanner.
Could you finally have developed an application?
Did you find a SDK for the P6500 or did you find any Windows' library for it?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Daniel
Here's one stupid question.
Altrough the camera seems to be ok in terms of hardware drivers i can't seem to find any utility to start it neither in control pannel or anywhere else. I cannot use it in yahoo messenger or similar services. Can someone enlight me about that camera?
camera does work , but only in MSN messenger
I played with the camera too...
The only program that recognizes the camera, and uses it OK , is MSN (live) messenger.
X-Lite (Voip Software with camera option) usually detects any camera I got.
However, on the Shift, no joy !
Also, another program called WinTLV (Superb windows time lapse recording software)
does not see the camera.
Drivers...drivers...drivers.... c'mon HTC .. supply us with new ones
Py Software Active Webcam
killer_t, what are you trying to tell us?
Camera Works
The camera i test it with many programs and is working in skype msn and other programs automatically but i dont know how to start it alone i mean not through other programs

With the program Active Webcam from Py Software can use the build-in Shift camera.. You can do video and photo
yep the Active Web Cam program works. I've tested it yesterday without any problems. However the program can't facilitate the usage of the camera with other programs.
I want to run the camera alone to take photo, do you guys know any good software out there with good and clean interface which does this job?
I use Dorgem v2.1.0 it's a small and freeware software.

it doesn't seems to have a preview windows, does anyone else know anything better then this?
It has. Click on the preview button
Nice little camera app. Thanks.
Yu can use this one too
http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html
I had the same problem of the camera showing as installed but not recognised by MSN, Skype, etc. So I just deleted the driver (from Device manager). Windows then rediscovered it and then it worked fine!
I have been using "cheese" on ubuntu. it has preview and can be used to capture video or still pictures.

This one is more than capable. The one posted earlier on page 1 (can't remember what it's called) has been discontinued.
But the one quoted above is perfect just for using the camera for point and shoot, video or stills.
Thanks.
Edit>>Struggles a bit with video (low frame rate, a bit like video calling quality, or like video phone you see on the news!) but I haven't really had a good luck around the settings yet too see if it can be manually improved.
I have installed the Debut Video Capture Software on my Shift, but when I run it it defaults to 'screen' which replicates my screen image but when I click 'Device' the selection remains at screen. I can't see any options to enable my camera device.
Anyone know what to do next?
(The dorgem one worked fine so my Shift hardware is not in question.)
Camera software
I tried a program called "AMCap" that I had. (You will have to Google for it, I can't remember where I got my).
It seems to catch the video & audio and lets me take stills and such.
Has anyone tried this on Athena? They have a free trial, but since I don't have an Athena anymore I can't s only test it. The site says its only been tested on the Rapheal and Diamond. Site also says it requires an integrated light sensor and g-sensor to "function properly", but the light sensor part can be disabled. Looks very nice, certainly better than S2U2

Somebody please find/share some ways to use or Utilize the Front camera in XPERIA X2...i have tested whether the cam is working or not..so I am not expecting the settings combinations to see whether it works or not.
What I want is a useful registry tweak/ an application that has the capability to utilize the front cam in X2 for taking Picture/movies or to use with skype/other video chat apps !!!!
