i want use the front camera too u_u
@all here:
take a look to this app: WebCamera Plus, also CoolCamera you can find on her site.
Screenshots are here. There you will read something like Front Sensor (second screenshot). I think this is what you all searching for.
have one of you guys ever used your phone/front cam for videocalling?? i've tried a couple of times but it never worked..
is there a front camera? I have a t-mobile htc tp2 and thought that it did not have a camera. Google Kai's Make Up Mirror. Let me know if it works.
Not on Tmobile, verizon, and sprint..
Unbranded TP2
I have an unbranded Touch Pro 2 and to access the front face camera you have to press camera>click tab box next to shutter tab> Menu> Camera and it should switch to the front camera.
If your in the states and have an unbranded Pro 2 then you cant make a Video call because, and this is what T-mobile tells me, the towers in the US wont support the video call function...even if you have 3G.
This actually the reason I got the Pro 2 and the reasons I bought the Kaiser...So the front facing camera is only for show in the US but over seas it works like a charm.
The new Iphone have a front facing camera that I'm assuming will support video calls
I doubt it since you can never guarantee you're going to be in a 3g area or the person you are calling is. The front camera is probable for Skype, MSN, etc. Video calling would work fine if you live in Europe.
I click on camera -> tab -> Camera Icon and these are my choices

Tried to insert a picture but it was not uploaded.
Anyway when I click on camera -> tab -> cameria icon, my choices are photo, video, panarama, voice messaging, contacts picture ad picture theme. What are you choices?
I can guarantee you there is no front-facing camera in the US T-Mobile version of this phone.
I thought so, but what the heck. It is mentioned in the camera help files (I was really bored one day) but it also mentions that it was not on all models. Back to looking at the rss feeds.

Hi,
I've had my Universal (XDA Exec) nearly 2 months now, but in the last few weeks I've noticed the picture quality from the camera seems to be REALLY bad. Whilst I appreciate these devices are nowhere near as good as dedicated digital cameras, I don't remember it being as bad as it is now.

Is this normal?! Yes, I also realise that indoors pictures are worse than outdoors, but the room I took the picture in is VERY well lit.
I only really noticed the difference after I did the ROM upgrade from the older O2 ROM (1.15 I think?) to their newest 1.30 ROM on their website, but I since downgraded it again and I've had the same problems.
Just really wanted to verify if it's just me or everyone and whether it's just always been this bad and I've not noticed or if I do actually have a fault with mine.
Thanks!
The camera is dump. playing about with the settings for day, night, auto.... might help a little, but its a waste of space imho.

Does yours suffer this horrible colour banding as well then?
with due respect YES the camera IS bad on the universal BUT definately NOT as bad as yours. I would say there is somehting definately not right there.
Thanks. I'll speak to O2 about getting it repaired/replaced. [] Pain really everything else is working perfectly, but now the camera has gone from "ok" to completely unuseable.

How about makiong sure the resolution is say 1m pixels and the setting is superfine!!
If its still the same then your camera is broken.
My previous device only had a VGA camera and no flash - so coming to a device with 1.3m and flash is quite a bonus. It would not replace my normal camera - but I am pleased with the quality of the camera attached to the universal.
Matt
the camera is usable for day to day use though not ideal. The picture you posted is horrible and the cam isn't that bad. Try a hard reset or something like that
I've tried quite a few hard resets (including clearing the storage) and it's always the same. The preview on the screen itself looks like that too. I would post a 1 MP Fine picture as someone suggested, but it looks the same.
Was really just trying to work out whether it was just me or everyone and I think it looks like it's just me. Thank you all!
here. This might give you an idea how it should be
HTC Wizard Camera Patch?
My camera isn't as good as ADY's, but much better than Xanth's
Does anybody know about the HTC Wizard Camera Patch?
It's in the universal download section at buzzdev.net (so I presume it works for Uni)
http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,100/func,select/id,37/orderby,2/page,2/
it says: HTC CAMERA PATCH, by t-mobile. Improves camera quality of your phone - exposure, colors and removes blue speckles.
I installed it, but nothing seems to happen, maybe my existing SW is more up to date....
Thanks.
I have the HTC Apache (XV6700) with WM6, and my friend has the HTC Hermes (8525) with WM6 too. His phone screen has an option for video call, but it doesn't work. Is there any info on this? I don't have that option on my WM6 version.
I'm assuming AT&T has a video chat feature (or maybe will have one soon). I saw on a review site for the TyTn II (here is a link http://smartmobilegadgets.wordpress.com/2007/07/31/htc-tytn-ii-the-ultimate-mobile-companion/) The phone has a camera in the front that acts as a video chat.
Is there any way to get this working on our phones?
Here is a pic from the link above.

Even if you could get it working would you really want to? Lets think about this for a minute...your camera is on the back of the phone..so you would have to choose whether you wanted to see the person on the other end or turn the phone around so they can see you. Kinda defeats the purpose of "video chat" doesn't it? Additionally they are a 3g device that can handle data and a phone call at same time. The apache is not..it handles data OR a phone call.
Some people are just clueless. You have a phone designed for a CDMA network. NO CARRIER in US offers true video calling right now. (cingular's video share is useless if you ask me). What makes you think it would work ?!
Is there an option to use the front facing camera in the default camera app? I know it is less of quality, but it would be handy for use while taking self portraits with my friends.

yes, if you look at the engadget unboxing video, the camera source is in the settings
I took a picture for you. It's very easy, you just tap the "Switch camera" option basically restarts the Camera application with the new camera in use. Very intuitive.

I really really realllly hope that I can use the front facing camera in Skype. If not natively then by rooting. This would be the major feature for me.
iChat compatible app = win.

Thanks for taking the picture! I just hope there is a way to get skype on Sprint now. I have heard that it is only for VZW customers....
Hi, I was having a play with one earlier - and it appeared that when you take a picture there is no way within the app to see the picture you just took? You have to exit out and go into gallery?
Is there a way around this? Ta
There is an list of latest taken photos on right side... You can even expand it & then it shows all files in image-folder...
Take a look:

Thanks, I thought it strange there was no way to do this. Buy the model I was playing with (three uk branded) definatly didn't have it - must be different rom versions?
Thanks anyway
Remember that you can flash a normal non-messed up rom from the dev section,
like my orange uk version, is now a on the global rom minus the orange bloatware

If you swipe the thumbnails to the right, they will disappear... if you swipe from the very right edge of the screen toward the centre.. they will come back!... same with the menus on the other side (but in reverse!)
Is it possible to remove compression from our phone? Try to take a picture and the size only around 700kb when i use 8mp setting.
you can use vignette off the market - but in the tests I've done it doesn't really improve the image quality very much at all.. and actually in some shots I preferred the stock camera's results.
yeah, i like the result of the stock camera apps. But when i transfer the file to my PC and zoom it, the quality still not too good because of the compression. that is why i'm trying to remove the compression.
Wait for my MOD once we get root
I will add photo preview too
Is there any way to have multi shots option???
To press camera button and take 3-5 pictures in a row...
I miss that capability....

Hey, got my 9T today, everything seems to work fine all but the 0.6x camera which doesnt seem to do anything. I can switch between it but there's no difference to a regular 1x.
Tbh the whole default app is super buggy.
Example: I switch to 2x camera, then I take a pic but tapping the gallery button does nothing, then I try to take another pic and the whole app freezes. Then I looked into the gallery and there was no pic there at all.
Please tell me if this is normal, at first I thought the 0.6x camera thing might be a hardware issue, but its really not just the 0.6x camera that's buggy. The whole app is unstable.
Anybody else having these problems?
Also, if I try to use the "Portrait" mode in the default camera, the app closes with this error:

Only issue I have is when coming back to the camera app from the RAM, the viewfinder doesn't work unless I change modes
Well after a bit of testing it seems that only the middle camera gets used during the process. Even switching to 2x (whuch works btw) seems to only work from the middle camera.
Any input is welcome. Cause I've got no idea what's up.

No problem on my Mi 9T, switching between cameras goes smoothly and there's a noticable distinction for each camera. The stock camera app also works perfectly fine, the AI mode adjusts automatically depending on the ambient environment.
Have you tried hardware test at *#*#64663#*#* ?
I had the same problem with my mi 9t pro, two weeks after i bought it the portrait and wide angle cameras stopped working. I tried reset factory and it didn't help and the camera was like that for about 20 days until one day the phone was on the table and i accidentally dropped it, I don't know why but the first thing i checked to see if it was working was the camera and magically wide angle and portrait cameras were fixed!
I think your issue is GCAM
You should test on stock camera to point out a hardware problem.
I've got the same problem with the 0.6x and portrait camera on my k20 pro. Did a search online and found a few people with the same problems on their k20's/k20 pro's. I've tried factory reset and flashing a different rom but it still doesn't work, the hardware test doesn't work either. Hoping that there is a solution for this...

The 2x camera is only used when the scene conditions are just right. On many cases (for example, when there's poor illumination) the image is way better on the main camera.
It is an old thread, but any updated here? I got the same issue.
