front facing camera in samsung galaxy s? - Galaxy S I9000 General

I think I red somewhere that the european version galaxy s i9000 had a front facing camera, and I been trying to look for a video of it but every video review in the tube they show everything but the "front facing camara" if is true that it does have one.
Can some body here tell me if it does or not have a front facing camera?
thanks

You're more likely to have problems until they do. There's atleast one home brew out there already, so if you're a phone hacker there's nothing to stop you.

I think I'll better way the 21 and get the vibrant

currently it is not available but one of our great developers can do it
the concept is there, if you downloaded Fring application from the Market you will be able to perform Video Calls over the Skype (through Fring)
But that has no use, you must look at back camera and you cannot see the person with who are you talking...
Well you can carry a mirror with you and point the rear camera to that.

Are you drunk ?
Mirror?
Hahahaha ) good one....
You can already do video calling with Fring, using Skype. No root required.
I heard root enabled X-ray vision on the camera, I ride the train a lot here in Japan, will come in handy.
I just bring a picture of whoever I'm talking to, and look at that.
It's just like video calling but better.
Sometimes I bring a picture of the Queen, and pretend I'm actually taking to her.
People on the train are amazed I know the Queen.
Aren't we a sarcastic bunch today!
I just close my eyes and imagine what the caller looks like.. It's cheaper that way.

Lol this thread is funny. But on a serious note, why can't we use the front camera?
P.S - My first post on XDA Forum

It's the proximity sensor or the ambient light sensor. Don't remember exactly what, but it's no camera.

I always thought it's the front camera. I can't believe this. Skype is going to come up with video calls on mobile phones and we can't use that feature now. How come X10 does not have front camera while almost all new phones have front camera. X1i has front camera lol

My guess is that SE has found that it's not used enough to warrant the extra cost. We've been doing videocalling here in .se for a few years and it hasn't really caught on. Even with free video-calling the uptake has been slow so they probably decided that the cost outweighed the benefits.

Macro HD videos with Galaxy S2

Hi all, just made some videos with my SGS2 and edited them on Windows Movie Maker.
I'll be happy to hear about your opinion, particularly in terms of light, do you have some trick to make better videos?
ROM is Batista70 FoxHound 2.4 with Camera Hack installed, so if you have a better one related on video making, you're welcome!
Thank you so much!
These are really good... hard to believe its just from a phone..
Excellent
Just put a powerful magnifying glass on the camera and you'll get much closer

[Q] Why my Note 3 camera so so bad?

Ok so one of the main reason im buying the Note 3 is the "camera quality" after read all the comments of how good the note 3 camera is but for some reason the camera isnt as good as i expected , my mum s3 camera even better than mine! all the picture i takes look really grainy and almost as if it has a filters applied to it make it look like brushstrokes. i wonder if anyone on the same boat and how can i solve this ? flashing difference firmware ?

Maybe try another camera app from the playstore to rule out it's a hardware problem?
Disable the "intelligent stabilsation" feature and/or try a different app. Usually Camera FV-5 works fine.

Camera problem

I received my ZUK yesterday, and it's really good but it has some problem with camera
look at the photos, they are very blurred

Were you under influence of alcohol by any chance?
Jokes aside. Im getting mine today. Not sure what the problem could be apart from shaky hands

Haha no it's not my shaky hands, I'm not drunk and don't have parkinson's disease, it always makes the pictures blurred
My Zuk's camera does take awful photos, I hope it's just a software issue
I have to admit that the Camera has greatly improved, the pictures are not fvcked up anymore!
They are adding 1-2 system updates every day, I think they updated the camera software.
Pictures aren't perfect, I hope they will continue with updates
The device is EXCELLENT overall
Will there be support for Camera API 2? Or is it a hardware thing and the Z1 will never support it?
Hey guys. Just wanted to ask is the blurry camera still there. I changed to custom ROMs in thinking it might get fixed, but I'm still getting blurryimages from the back camera. Please advice.
hi guys, im having the same problem here, i change the original rom to the oficial CM13 and the camera start with this problem, it is like the image stabilizer will not work at all.
anyone can fix this issue???
thanks
Hi had the same issue, If I put the phone horizontally the camera just started to shaking a lot and going crazy.
I think It's an hardware problem of the OIS stabilizzator. I changed my phone with a new one (thanks to the seller on Amazon) and now no problem at all.
My ZUK Z1's front cam developed spots& marks like small lines.
I thougt it was a software problem and did all i could, Soft/Full Reboot, clearing cache in settings, Recovery aand....Fully powering down the device and turning it on....No matter what i couldn't solve it....
So when i googled it, I came to a clarity that its a hardware issue....
Here r the screenshots/pics shot by my Front cam on my ZUK Z1....nd the search results I found on gogle

Are the pictures blurry even when you make sure the lens have focused properly? The camera on mine isn't the best in terms of the picture quality it churns out, but the photos aren't blurry when I take time to focus them properly.
is this a hardware problem or software?
i have the same problem.

I was having similar issues with my front camera in default os (cm 12], then same issue persisted with custom roms ( nuclea os 14.1 ). Today I installed "open camera" app and suddenly the crashing problem ended and now I am able to use front camera in all apps like default camera app and watsapp etc. Hope this helps...
Camera of ZUK Z1 isn't that great as it should be.
But it's fine tho, that's what you will get in this price.

See my front camera's dead for an year now. I visited the service center but didn't get it repaired...they say it's my lens fluid that broke on a single drop of my phone on the floor. That's how defective cameras on ZUK Z1 are...

It is sad you are crying but you just don't know how your phone works...
When you go up to 10x it changes sensor and uses 108mpx for telephoto
Of course this is not made to focus on stuff 1 meter from the camera
Try using it in real conditions...

He is wrong.108mp camera is just for up to x4 zoom.All above that is telephoto.Don't spread wrong informations.Yea sure sansung will put PERISCOPE camera of 48mp and than use main camera for over x10 focus what a genius ? The deal is that up to(from x1 to x5 is pure otpical zoom)10x is hybrid zoom it uses both periscope and main camera for above x10 times its only periscope without main camera.Al above 10 zoom is only periscope camera and its just croping not zoom.But keep in mind if you zoom x3 it will be only main camera croping you cant zoom less than 5x times wtih periscope.
Seems OK here on unlocked USA version.
Will be testing some more to see.
I didn't even reset settings/clear cache.
I'm glad I didn't get Exynos. Usually do for unlockable BL and custom roms but I'm over that now.
I still have older Exynos phones I can do that with.
And my personal numbers are on Verizon so there's that.
The new update made this camera worse! If they don't have this camera figured out soon, I'm getting rid of my Ultra.
For 4x - 9.9x, if you're focusing a relatively close object, it will use the main camera, but if you focus something far away, it will use the telephoto camera. At least, that's the behaviour I'm having (ATCT firmware / camera version 10.0.03.2).

Really? Try taking a picture of something that has text from 6 - 8 inches away. Unacceptable for $1400.

Return it. Or import the snapdragon model. I haven't had those issues. Camera is almost perfect apart from some poor HDR processing at times.
Text has always been an issue with this phone.
It has a very narrow range of focus.
