hd2 front camera - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to get the front camera working.
When I use fring for vid calls I get the back cam to work...but thats difficult to be seen. I was wondering if anybody has a work around for the front cam with fring?? or any other software.
Thanks in advance guys.
cheers

HD2 doesn't have a front camera...

ähm, there´s no front cam at the hd2

Someone is a little off on their spec list...

He probably saw the ambient light sensor hole and assumed it was a front facing camera. Looks very similar to the one on the evo.

What you're seeing is the proximity sensor.

To activate the HD2s front camera you simply have to Press Ctrl+Alt+del on the HD2s slide-out keyboard
Oh... errr wait a minute...

Please DONT report your findings

Does the front camera look a little weird to yall like its kinda not aligned right inside the phone
yeah, i was going to say the same thing.
anyone know of a way to take a test pic with the front cam?
thanks
I downloaded fring and tested out video calling, works great on mine. Though I was having a separate problem with fring where it would vibrate/make this horrible noise like it was trying to ring but sounded like my Evo was dying from the inside out. Too scared start fring again.

Isn't camera source an option in the camera app? Switch that way and take a pic?

My evo is from goggle I\O and the camera is in the center of the camera hole. I cant find any manufacturing issues on my evo.

Yeah. You go into camera mode and there's a pulldown you can access (it's always on the side of the phone with the sprint logo). From within there you'll find a settings tab (along with a bunch of others) and it will let you switch camera source.
You can also turn off the annoying shutter sound from within there too.

need help with werid sound cumin from phone (VIDEO)

i m paranoid abt this sound chek video

plz let me know if u hear somes broken in ur phone tooo ?
Try this: cover the camera with your finger and apply some slight pressure. Tap your phone. It should not make any noise.
I think I know what you mean... it's as if you feel something vibrating inside for a bit. Have the same 'issue' from which I don't even know if it IS an issue...
For me it's most obvious when I tap near the bottom though, not with the camera (although also a bit there).
it's vibrating, gets pleased and cumin out.. ok.. weird thread lol!

yes if i cover my camera n tap it , then it sounds ok ... wondering if samsung left any part looose?
I always assumed it's the vibrator giving that feeling as you tap the phone. Seems logical at least.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
i hope it just the vibrator , its just annoying cheap samsung...iphone n nexus one has a solid build
chill out..
Guys.. every phone with autofocus camera have this sound around camera.. its caused by lens!! so dont worry about it..your phone is not broken

Dust in the Frontcam?!

Hey guys,
i have a problem with dust in the frontcam of my galaxy s...
I don't know how it came in there, but it is defenitly there!
Anyone have same problems and maybe a solution for this?
I already contacted the samsung support, but they just told me i should send in the phone and this wouldn't be free -.-
Maybe someone has already opened up his galaxy and removed the dust manually...
Thanks in advance...
ps: i will post some pics if i find my cam again
Does it dramatically affect pics taken with the FF cam?
If it's under warranty, and wasn't due to abuse, they can't charge you for anything other than shipping in most countries.
Yeah, i already compared it to a friends brandnew galaxy s, we just placed them next to each other, and activated the frontcam...
There was definitely a difference, his colors were much better and mine looked a lot more pale!!!
I don't really use the frontcam very often, so it is not that dramatically, but a phone in this price-class should normally not have problems like this...
If anyone else has same problems, so please reply, i don't wanna be the only one with dust in my cam >.<

You can go into your camera and then select "self-shot" in the shooting settings.

Didn't know that... Thanks!
The problem is still there -.-
Has anyone already opened up his galaxy s?
If i'd send it in for repair, this will take up to 4 weeks... definitely tooo long!
If it's easy to open i would try to clean it on my own
Am i really the only guy, who has dust in his frontcam, can't believe that >.<
dust solved by Samsung service.

Hi i solved the problem bringing my Galaxy S to the samsung service, i don't nknow what they have done, but i can't see any sign of opening.
I read in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802704 that the dust came through the 3,5 jack to the front cam, but i don't think so, because the component 3,5 jack is isolated... Any idea?
had mine for nearly 9 months and mine is dust free
Why dont you get a can of compressed air and try blasting it down the headphone and USB socket ? Or even around the bezel and speaker.
Infact, just spray the whole bloody phone with it lol
Compressed air is cheap.

[Q] front facing camera or led light

Have any of you guys noticed on the front of the Venue pro in the top right there are two circles? You need to put the phone at the right angle but they are definitely there. Could these possibly be for something more than just sitting there? I'm saying this because I just got the phone the other day and I was stupid and didn't try the SIM out until I was home and now I have to wait a few days to go back because there is so much snow at my house so I've just been messing with it. I typed this all on the onscreen keyboard so I'm just becoming more and more convinced that I don't need a physical keyboard with wp7 lol. The hd7 has the storage space I want but the Dell has the screen I want! What is man to do...
Yea. Its a 3d camera. And they shipping right now. Hurry

Mod edit: Please don't give stupid answers if someone is asking a serious question
The unit has neither a front facing camera or a notification LED light. Those are both just sensors (proximity and one for the auto brightness).
Though I do like the 3d camera idea..
i think it is sensor like HD2 had, it turn off screen in call when you put your face next phone in a call, it turn off screen, so you dont activate other applications.

If you can't be helpful please, at least don't post these snide remarks.
Thank you
It is an IR LED. If I point it towards my media center IR reciever it flashes about once a second

Vanity!

Next question

stop stalking casca bro....
to OP... i think you made a post in wrong device forum... X8 has no front camera.
This made me LOL real hard. And you can just lock your phone and use the black screen as a nice little cutesie mirror.
lol
whoops , i did honestly think that the pin hole on the top right was a camera. i have a case around the phone so couldnt really tell.
Ok so in that case what is the top right used for? im charging the phone at the minute and it is further to the right than the green led????
