MT4G As Webcam? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there anyway to do this? I'm going to go search the forums now (I know I know ... search before posting, but I figured this might open some discussion about this. I'll post my results of searching at least!!).
I like Qik, but it's kind of useless IMO if the other person doesn't have an android or qik-capable phone
Found this:
http://www.placaware.com/?page_id=6
Ok got it working with skype, but video is very choppy, maybe 2 fps. Gets the job done somewhat though I suppose.
Trying to look into how Qik can be used as a broadcastable webcam now (though it wouldn't work for skype/im).

this is gonna get moved to Q&A... just for future notice

Well when you sign up with qik you get you own spot in their website. It will be qik.com/(your username) with this you can broadcast live on a computer. Just tell whoever you want your site address and also it saves your videos for later viewing the streaming is a but slow but its not all that choppy. Also you can video chat with yahoo messenger to other yahoo people and msn people.
But next time if you have a question please put it in q&a section.
Thank you

Please post questions in Q&A section.

yahoo messenger app with video works quite well as a webcam ...it allows the other person to the on their computer, but you still have to be on your phone unfortunately

Ok, I am new to forums all together. If I am doing something wrong like posting in the wrong area or using the wrong labels or whatnot, please tell me.
I am requesting an app for windows mobile that allows me to play epic pet wars, the facebook app. from my phone.
If you have a link to an already made application that would be wonderful, too! =]
Well I love this site, I come to it regularly for downloads. Just thought I would say thank you! =]

it's not an app specifically for that,
but you could probably use skyfire to play that app.
I was using it while I was at work to play mobsters back in the day.

just read man http://www.facebook.com/pages/Applanet/176954165657627
Dont mind getting spanked?
you guys using applanet are taking a big gamble (seems like a hackers dreams), or maybe not too bothered if your phone get hacked?
no guarantees it wont happen using the market, at least google will act if it finds something suspect, potentially limiting any further damage or loss of data.

I don't think its bashing if its the truth seen over and over lol
I remember reading a forum whare someone said they had honeycomb or gingerbread for a certain phone just flash it with that .zip and you have it. Two responses later (Thanks for the Brick)
Look, i hear what you guys are saying about not doing your homework before asking a question but that thread is huge and I really don't understand a lot of it to be honest with you so I figured I would ask.. A friend of mine actually did the dexter rom on my a7 and i wasn't there when he did it. He was going to walk me through it before he went back to Afghanistan but we never got a chance to so here i am.
I am trying to read as much as i can so I don't have to ask you all. But for now I am a noob so you can get on me all you want but i am sure this isn't the last time i will ask a dumb question about something that was discussed somewhere else so please have some patients with me and the rest of the non-enlightened folk...
the A7 was very disappointing out of the box... i just want a better functioning tablet... same as you all.. and i am happy with it now.. I just need to figure out how to do the patch. I wouldn't suppose there a "for dummies" version of how to do this anywhere is there?
try out some video streaming sites thru the skyfire browser. if you cant find it on the market i could post a link for you.

You can always PM people that you see that are frequent posting, because when you ask a question about something that has been covered it drowns the important information, then we have other be lost, but me and others here would be glad to help, seeing as the community has started to grow

HTC One users on Google Plus, join here!

After Google I/O 2013 there were so many great features about Google+ I wanted to use more often but hardly any of my friends use G+. I was wondering if any of you guys had it and want to add each other so we can all use the new G+ a little more often. Pretty much all of my posts/shares/likes/etc pertain to tech/Google/Android anyway.
I haven't done much on my profile since G+ came out way back when, but here it is if you want to add me, feel free to post on my page or share stuff: Syn Ack
Feel free to add your profile links here too and we can all add each other. I will put you in my HTC One circle.
I recommend going to http://gplus.to/ and then posting your link in that format.
Just post your link below and I will copy it to the list. Mine is gplus.to/Synacks

I find it fascinating that G+ has more users than Twitter but not a single friend of mine uses it. I've been trying to push it, but doesn't seem to be gaining much traction ):

I don't see where you added me, maybe I don't know enough about G+ yet. But it's certainly got a better layout and more features than Facebook.

I just added you to my Circles, I guess it's like "liking" a FB page, where you don't get friend requests, just that your posts get shared to those following. Probably, haven't really used it too
I have to admit I prefer G+ over all other social media sites. There is just not enough of a user base in my real life circles and the people who are on it don't have a clue how to use it.

@Syn Ack - maybe it would be a good idea to set this thread up like the Sensation g+ has been done.
This will make it easier for everyone to add others rather than having to look through loads of pages just to add people.
Using the short URLs, as mentioned in the other threads OP, would be a good idea aswell rather than post massive links
Here's a link to mine anyway - KidCarter93
For all people who use the shortening site, please put your nickname as your XDA username. It makes it easier for the rest of us that way

HDR video recording

Sorry guys but I've looked everywhere in the settings and all over the web. I can't for the life of me figure out how to enable HDR video recording on the new MEA build. I'm using omega 5.0.
Does anyone know where it is or is it enabled automatically? Thanks

While I appreciate the link you didn't have to be disrespectful. I looked all over the web and hit the search button on this XDA app. Everything coming up just goes over there's a update and what's included, one feature being HDR video recording. If people are going to respond disrespectful I'd rather go without. Again thanks, that's what Q&A is for
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
So one can't actually see there recording in HDR video. If you choose HDR on the carousel then hit video that's supposed to be it. I've read the video camera button is blurred out on old firmware so it must be working for us. Looks good but it looked good before so hard to tell for a camera quality noob like me.

You are welcome for the link and, in no way, was I disrespectful. Here are the forum rules...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
I put "HDR" in the search box and the link I gave you was the 2nd link that came up after yours. Are you saying your search is different than mine? If the "XDA app" doesn't work, stop using it. It clearly is not helping you. And, the link I gave you was to a post that was still on the first page (the same page you are on). There wasn't even a need to use the search.
Of course, I'm sure all of this doesn't matter to you. You will just say I am still being disrespectful, so, good luck.

Scott do me a favor and open the stock browser and search how to enable HDR video on galaxy s4. Nothing besides reviews and news come up. I narrowed Down by time, past week (finally now works in stock browser) that's the search I did. When going to XDA app/ Q&A I did look at the first page. I'm guilty for not going to the second page. I did look man I'm not a lazy forum user. I'm constantly helping others no matter what the question is. Had a bad day at work and home so when I come across people responding a certain way, at the wrong time maybe it can be interpreted wrong.
Thanks again

It's all good. I hate that you had a bad day and sorry if I seemed to offend. If you find a good answer to your question please let us all know and maybe all of the information about this can be consolidated for future reference. I have a feeling the closer the AT&T update gets the more this same question is going to come up.

Actually no one actually sees a specific setting for this using the video camera. Everything I read says by going to HDR in camera settings then just hitting the video recording option should actually be HDR video. On earlier firmware this video recorder is blurred out if selecting HDR? Best I've come up with and seems most likely. I'll have to wait until I get to work tomorrow and grab my brothers G4 to see if his video button is blurred out in HDR mode. Thanks Scott and hope this helps someone else out. I'm sure it'll be asked a million more times

HDR video is listed as being in the patch that is currently rolling out in EU an India - my guess is it should be there but got left out and now they are fixing it.
Improvements and fixes in the new Software Update:
-New Camera firmware
-Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)
-Smart Pause Toggle
-Move Apps to SD Card
-HDR Video (Can record HDR video)
-Semi-transparent status bar
-New Icons in Settings
-Secure boot status (About Phone)
-Increase legibility (Display) (New feature)
