have u guys experience when using "Barcode Scanner" the lens of the camera make some weird noise/sound(s) more specifically when the barcode scanner use "auto-focus" function?
i wanna know if i'm the only one experiencing this so i can get my phone repaired or replaced =)

Everyone is experiencing that don't worry

That's because the lens needs to move in order to focus..

It's not the beep when it reads the barcode, he's talking about when it's focusing to see the code. It sounds like a little click.

Front video camera

video call camera testing- possible?
is it possible to check the video cam? just turn it on to see if it's working (without entering the video call mode)?
Yes, the camera app allows you to switch to front facing camera
camera app?
I don't think that is possible, changing profiles using the camera app always use the back camera, not the video call one.

The coolcamera application can be set to use front cam. For example as a web cam Not a free application but can download it for trial purposes but it limits use to 25 seconds or something until you start it again.

My mistake, must have been the universal that allowed this
you could always call your video mailbox. still have to make a call though, but not to another person
nah i just wanted to see if my video cam works properly. done it with coolcamera, thanks
Does anyone know a app that allows for transmission of Tytn front camera pix over GPRS/3G, like a webcam? Over IP, not videocall. Cool Camera has extracted its webcam part as addon (on Dec. 5), so maybe it can do it now? Anyone tested?
Is there a way to check this is working without making a video call?
I have no 3G reception here and need to check it works before my 7 day return is up.
Thanks.
I heard there is a program called CoolCamera by Ateksoft which will let you do this. I have not tried it out yet, though.
Just call a land line you will see the front camera image for a moment and then the call will fail.

CoolCamera has that feature alright, but for some weird reason the video displayed is tilted sideways and there is no way to fix this inside CoolCamera settings...
What I did noticed tho, is that the video quality is of inferior quality and lower framerates.
Peace!

asking for help with face recognition

when i enter media-scape then pic then friends i saw my contact friend's pictures and when i open any of them there is only 1 picture in each although before there were a lot of images for them although i have more than 8 GB of albums
what can i do ??
anyone can help me in this /?
Maybe you used Task killer and the Face Recognition app/service was killed. Not sure since I haven't used that feature yet.
Hi,
The face recognition isnt really consistently working for me. I shot two pictures with smile shutter and only in one it gave me the option to Tag the person in the Pic (which is not the same as setting it as contact picture)
So i dont really know ..
By the way the feature does not seem to work with dark-skinned people all to well ...
i think it is a problem with the software hope the updates become better
sounds a bit like the problem hp had with one of their web cams lol

[Q] Nexus 4 Photos Missing Data

My Nexus 4 seems a bit Hit & miss with its ability to take a good photo. The main problem appears to be missing data when the subject of the photo is moving. Attached an example. Is this a common and/or a known issue?

Thanks for the suggestion - but that's just another Instagram like app which I've already got a few of. It's the HDR option that looks to be the problem.

Nexus 4 Autofocus Problem

Hi guys,
I am hacing a problem with the autofocus on the default camera app on the nexus 4.
Before when I clicked a picture at the last moment it would make sure the camera is in focus before snapping a picture.
But now it just focus hunts with the focus shifting back and forth and the final result is unacceptable.
I want it to go back to the way it was before.
If I use another camera app like say the ever note camera it works perfectly fine. I'm only having a problem with the default camera.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys
Its the way it is.

I understand your problem, but IMO it is not really a problem. Just tap on the object you want to focus and then tap on the circle to take the picture.
Just tapping on the Circle sometimes keeps the focus and sometimes not. its better if you tap and hold for a while before you release your finger.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
I just installed a custom camera app instead and its working like a charm. Its called QuickSnap.
The funny thing is that the default camera used to work perfectly fine before the 4.2 update.
Great!

Thats good, I myself noticed this thing on the stock camera app. but then again just few more taps fixed this but yes I tried Snap Camera
there no such issues with that, even on Instagram camera.
But I don't know why i feel that stock camera app is the best.
Cheers!
I'm having this big problem too.
Any of you guys notice that sometimes when using the flash it'll show the picture as overly bright right after you take it? but once you view it in the gallery it looks normal

[bug] Czechop CM11-2014-02-04 reboots, barcode scanner

I noticed two issues with Czechop cm11 2014-02-04 build. Would gladly post them in ROM thread, but I have too few posts at this point to do that .
1. Once in a while a message saying something like "Phone restarted due to error in mobile networking" pops up. I have not seen the reboot itself. I will try to update with an exact message, but It will be probably in Polish.
2. ZXing Team's barcode scanner crashes after showing camera image for a split second. Image is stretched vertically, camera clicking noise can be heard. I still can make photos as usual, using photo app.
Also, seems that [Alt]+[Shift]+[letter] = alternative letter does not work for me (e.g. [Alt]+[Shift]+[a] = "ą", but I will need to look further into this.

That might be the barcode scanners fault. I'm on CM10.2 by EngleMars and after the last update of the barcode scanner it crashes in the same way as yours.
----Edit----
I debugged the barcode scanner and found the reason for the crashes. Here is the bug report I just submitted: https://github.com/zxing/zxing/issues/75
It isn't really a barcode scanner bug but more a bug somewhere in the system (don't know if android, CM or the people porting CM to our MS2 are at fault here).
----Edit2----
Alright - the guy behind barcode scanner won't fix it. So I build a working version myself.
You can get the apk here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bxvomoky9brbs02/Barcode Scanner.apk
To install it you first have to uninstall the version from Google Play because they are signed with different certificates.
If you don't trust my version you can review/build it from here: https://github.com/503e2/zxing
This is so nice, thank you very much. Now i finally can use threema right... greetings.
