I'm tying to figure out how to use the front camera for taking pictures. I can do the video stuff no problem, just not take pictures. Seems silly the native camera app would not offer this.
From what I read, there should be an option in qik to do this, but from the one I downloaded from the market, I'm not seeing this option. I'm running Frankenstein and have checked through all the various mod paqs and there is no qik app in there that may have this feature enabled. What am I missing?

Inside the camera app... Click the Top left icon on the screen and select Self-Shot.
Is that what you are looking for?
Perfect thanks so much! Guess the internet docs on this not working through the camera app are wrong.

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!

Hi,
The other day, the question was posed to me on twitter if you can use Tinychat on the MT4G. So I tried it. You can use it but not with your phone cam. It doesn't recognize your phones front camera (or back) as a web cam, but you can use your Mic and type and see and hear everyone else. I was wondering if anyone else would like a tinychat app where you can use your front camera, and if there's any App devs reading this maybe you can look into making one (if it's at all possible). I for one would love a fully functioning tinychat app. What does anyone else think?
I would love a tinychat app with front cam working. Hope some developers can do it... SOON. lol
web cam abillity
I have searched the web as thoroughly as humanly possible and have found nothing so I believe that an app that could be used to turn the front cam into a usable web cam would be phenomenal especially a tinychat specific app
Not sure if this is the right place to ask or maybe move it to the apps section if need be. Ever since I got the updated Gallery app through August update all my pictures seem to be imported automatically to it, what exactly do I mean by this? Whenever I launch the Camera app and scroll through my pictures through the app it shows all recent pictures on my phone, before the update it would only show pictures/videos taken through the camera app, I would like to keep it that way but haven't managed to revert it, any clues?
Wish I could answer, just installed the update and it's a disaster, what were they thinking, tiny thumbnails and you can't read the album names! Dark grey font on a black background... DOH

If you pinch out on the album view it will give you near enough the same view as before, only problem I have, as already stated, is the black text on dark grey background, although that's probably the themes fault.

So no one else lost the feature of scrolling through the in-app camera gallery and just having content taken with the camera? cause I really hate having to go through all my stuff there to find a picture I took.

No mine still works fine, although if I'm using the camera from the lock screen it will only let me scroll through the pictures I've just taken, not previous ones.

I wonder how I messed it all up lol. I just tried that way, running the app from the lockscreen and I still get every single picture on my phone.
Any Luck?
I am facing exactly the same issue.
All my screenshots, whatsapp, gallery pics and everything are populated in the gallery when I access through camera. This is highly annoying.
Earlier it was only camera pictures which were shown, is there anyway to fix this? Like installing the previous version or changing the access folder only to camera?

I found no solution, had to just deal with it. And I tried to somehow set the app to only access the Camera pictures when browsing through the camera app but no such luck.
Is this issue without any resolution yet? I know this have been posted a few months ago, I've searched everywhere but I didn't find any solution, did anyone else get some more luck than me?
Hi,
So yesterday I was out and I took a few pictures and noticed the camera app was NOT saving them. The front camera worked fine and saved correctly but every time I take a picture with the back camera it seems as though it's taking the picture but doesn't save it.
I updated today to 7.1 and same issue. I tried uninstalling the app updates but still same issue. Any idea? Can I flash the camera app somehow?

You may want to try to download another camera app, or use another app you may already have (i.e.: Snapchat), to see if it's the camera app or the camera itself.

Does anyone know a way to broadcast on Facebook Live with the wide angle camera? All I can find as options are the regular camera and front facing camera.
Thanks!
Nope. 3rd party applications are probably not going to understand that the device has a second camera.
You'd probably need a custom made application that taps into it.

That's not true in every case. Whatsapp can use all three cameras, so Facebook could implement it as well if they wanted to. It's probably not even a big deal, but very few (none?) phones have an extra camera with a different lens.
I'd love to be able to do that too !
It's feasible on the Youtube Live App... Hopefully Facebook will update their app in order to allow us to switch the camera....
If anyone has a tip, i'm really interested !
