hi guys. I'm a newbie here and currently i am a Xperia x2 user (new user by the way) I've been trying to locate commands or settings to be able to use the phone's front camera but up to now i am unsuccessful. Is there any way to do that? Please Help. I tried searching in this site but to no avail.
you can try it ... but you cannt take any pics
on any panel or today screen press the following as fast as possible
L L R L L R L R
WHERE L STANDS FOR HANG UP,RIGHT FOR ANSWER KEY.
then you will have service menu,press tests,then front camera

Thanks sir. Working just fine. So sad to know that there is no easy function to activate the front Cam. I hope it will come in their next update.

Thank you very much for this useful code.
I did the same code. I got the service menu then I pressed tests. But I didn't find no front camera. Does that means that my Sony Ericsson X2 Does not have a front camera?

Hi all,
Is there a program like Live Messenger or Skype, where you can use the front camera on the X1. Not a video call but just over the wifi or 3G/HSDPA.
Hmmm...
If there is not provider for video calling
what do you do with the 2nd camera?
Good question, or let me add, is there a way to use the front camera in live messenger on the ppc?
yeah it would be pretty sweet to use the front cam as a webcam on msn
not sure if this one would work on x1.

I guess i can give it a shot and see what it says.
EDIT
It installs i have no signal here so i can't test to see if it works. It seems to display ok too. I can access the back camera and thats it. It will not let me choose the front camera so i guess this is a bust....
ok bad. is there not a skype version with camera support?
I do not believe there is. i have skype on my phone and there is no camera support. I know fring doesn't have any camera support either.
The front camera is good as a makeshift mirror.
how do you use it as a mirror ?
You can just switch to the front camera in the camera menu
lol ok thought i missed something
Like a button in programs that activated the front cam to use as a mirror
Glad im not missing out then lol

I can't find any such setting. How exactly?
You initiate the camera then press the little wrench in bottom right hand corner. Then you press the little down arrow in the bottom right hand corner (This is all in landscape mode) and then you click on the camera+film strip image on the top left of the screen and there is an option that says camera source. From there you can switch it to front or back.
Go to the camera so its like your ready to take a picture
press the tool icon on the bottom right (looks like a spanner)
then press the down arrow (again bottom right)
click on the camera+film icon (top left)
Change the camera source from Back to Front camera
and that should be you
lol guess we entered a reply at the same time.
Ohh well better 2 answers than none
Urs is easier to read lol
There was a app on TyTN. You could use the front camera as a webcam.
But it didn't always work. In many cases you had to hard reset.
So the app builder stopped.
Hi,
I am writing an application that gets video from camera using Dshow.
I am able to capture from the back camera but not that one in the front
I am using
handle = FindFirstDevice( DeviceSearchByGuid, &guidCamera, &di );
to get CAM1: info.
I noticed a regsitry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sony Ericsson\CAMERA\
I change the key PROPERTY_SOURCE_CAMERA from 0 to 1 but this did not help.
Still getting video from the camera in the back.
any ideas?
u do noe that u can capture video with the front cam by tapping on the settings at the bottom right, then the arrow, then the top icon on the right and selecting Front as the camera source right?..
just checking...
already switched to front camera from the interface, did not help since I want to do it through dshow
How to access front camera?
Hi guys,
I tried accessing the front camera, with no success. I searched through the phone also, but got no where.
I don't see any settings tab on the right side of the screen. Please someone who knows how to access the front camera, please show me how to do this.
I also looked up under start menu < settings for any camera app, but did not find any.
Thanks.
click the cam button
click the settings button got a wrench on it
click the down arrow in the right part of the screen
click the Camera source choose front rather then back
before you asked I didn't know but camera settings seemed a good place to look
I think he wants use front camera with his own app not default X1 cam.
What about calling FindNextDevice ? Yeah .. pretty obvious, I know, but you did not say you have done it, so I just ask to be sure.
I found this:
Capturing video from the front camera on any mobile platform
the last post (by Kevin Loney) points to the following link:
Camera Capture API
I hope this helps.
Funny .. this thread is still marked as it had new messages. But it has not !
it has now
I followed the instruction as above but it did not function. Anyone here find the success of X10's front cam enabling, please kindly provide a step by step setting tutorial.That would be greatly thank to let other users access full feature of the device. Hopefully wait for such a thing!
Is there an API to get access to the flash LED on the Focus? I know this is possible on other devices; my friend has a flashlight on his HTC Surround which uses the flash LED, however I have seen nothing like this for the Focus, nor have I seen any literature demonstrating how this might be done.
Much thanks for any help which you can provide!
after pressing camera button u will see settings button on right side bottom.if u press that u will see flash light options on right side with flash arrows. i hope u r looking for these.if not iam sorry about that.
I want this as well - this is the closest I've been able to get: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861584
hi there,
how to use front camera to take picture? thanks before
I think it is not possible, but you can check whether it is working or not via service menu.. to do so, press
R R L R R L R
(R - end call, L - call)
Select Test -> VT Camera..

hi there,
thanks for info, but for that I've known before. so there is no possible to use front camera as usual camera to take picture,even with 3rd party software?
hey guys, i was REALLY surprised when i found out it doesnt take photos via the R button, its is in the PERFECT place, in portrait fair enough (you might accidentally hit it with your palm), but in landscape, its a must have!!
does anyone know how to re-map the software button to a hardware button?
ps: LOVING the phone
That would be very nice indeed.
Could even use the l trigger for the focus reset or some other thing like the flash
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
we could use it for pre-focus, at the moment if you hold in the capture button it resets the focus :]
use X to take photos. not what you wanted but it works
we could still use l/r for zoom in/out?
Totally agree with RB for taking photos, someone must beable to work abit of magic and create a keymapping app... id love to use LB as a back button when surfing too. when your holding the phone in your palm LB is in a nice place to be a back button.
the R button works for taking pictures when your in the service menu punch this into dialpad *#*#7378423#*#* if it works in there there must be some kind of way to do it

ya man try it out it wont mess anything up on the phone or anything its just a test is all, and i say it again if the "R" button works for taking pics in there there MUST be some way to map that key to the camera(maybe with an unlocked bootloader in the not so distant future)
i can confirm this works, i would love to have this on my play
infact, im gonna try and get a camera app from the market and try and make it as native as possible, ill post you guys with updates.
(market apps allow you to re-map buttons)
