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.
I just want know if there is any app like SciLor's LeoCameraAnyKey v0.5.1 for HD2 running android?
I want to be able to use the volume key to take pics. I hate having to touch the screen. None of the apps that work properly have this option for example regular camera, camera360, vignette.
the closes app is "PRO Paint Camera" but this program keeps foreclosing even the paid version. this app has this option so I know this is possible.
thanks in advance for your help guys.

second this request, if you take alot of pictures of yourself as i do, lol, its really frustrating having to find the touch
look for ButtonRemapper. It has function for remapping your volume key to camera.

I have downloaded that app but thats not what I am looking for. Buttonremapper is only if I want to wake camera up with volume key plus it doesnt work with hd2.
Iam looking for an app that can take a picture by pressing the volume key just like in SciLor's LeoCameraAnyKey in windows.
The Camera App Vignette (available on the market) has a setting that allows you to use the volume key for the camera shutter. Works great, and it's a fantastic camera app with many effects.

ButtonRemapper works with remapping ANY buttons and works perfectly with the HD2. You must have root access for it to work fully.
Yes, one of the best app for the HD2.

can you tell me how you would remap the volume key to be used as the shutter button with buttonremapper. I like and have paid for vignette but I would like to use regular cam since IMO it takes pics faster as in saving them and ready to take another one.

Open up the app, scroll down to whichever volume key you want to use. Click on it and the choose camera, or shutter for the action.

Regarding buttonremapper
Sorry but there is no shutter option. ONLY focus and camera option. both don't do what I want.
1. camera- opens camera app
2. focus- focuses inside cam app
Button re-mapper permanently changes the button action right? As in, it can only be used as one thing until you change it back.

correct. meaning if you change let say volume up key to camera. then you will need to up volume on screen since the volume up key would only be used to open camera.
I have to say that I never ever use the Camera button on my G2. I always go for the Camera App on my screen instead.
I go to the camera app as well, but I use the button to actually take the picture. I take steadier pictures that way.

I usually use the Trackpad myself. I don't think I've ever used the button for that lol.
I love the camera button, frees up a spot for an app on my screen.
I could also just turn a light on in the room but I also love the flash on my camera.

I actually take less steady pictures with the camera button. Maybe I'm not used to how hard to press it, or maybe its my genetic hand tremors onsetting as I get older, but I take smoother pictures more consistently tapping the capture button on the screen lol.
I love the camera button, one thing I hated about the Nexus One was the lack of a two stage camera button.
I didn't think I would use it, but turns out I use it almost daily...(mostly to take vids of drunk roommates =])
If there wasnt that camera button I would ask why HTC were so dump and didnt include it. I use it every time I want to take picture ... not only to shoot the picture itself but to open camera app as well!! It would be waste to have icon for camera app on homescreen with this button. Thanks HTC for that!! I dont want phone w/o camera button anymore!
I don't really use it but I wouldn't say its useless lol... I use it sometimes

I never knew the trackpad button clicked the "shutter" on the camera app. Thanks for that!
Personally, I use the hardware camera button quite a bit to both open the camera app, and to take the photo. I don't keep a shortcut to the camera app on my main homescreen.
camera button
It's good to have the button, but I usually use the button on the screen both for getting to the app and for shooting.
Having to push down the hardware button all the way make my hand move enough to have unsharp pictures.
I think I just have to get used to it.
I use it all the time; instead of having to go home to open the camera no matter what app I am in I can just hit the button. Actually wouldn't buy a phone without one now...it was a huge annoyance on my Touch HD.
I just use the camera button to open the camera app. I don't know if I have a faulty button or something, but when I take multiple pictures of something by pressing the camera button, the pictures don't really "register".
I'll have to press the camera button 3 times in order for it to finally take a picture, so now I just rely on the trackpad and the on-screen button.
A hardware button is always useful; I don't bother keeping a Camera app link on my desktops thanks to the button. Similar, shooting with the on-screen shutter button is awkward at best in landscape mode (portrait I can see using it).
For those having shake problems when hitting the button, remember the shooter's adage. Squeeze, don't pull. Get it halfway down, resting against the firmer resistance while it focuses, then just squeeze and hold. Too many people just thump it and release, leading to a whole lot of unnecessary bounce.
Truth be told, I'd still be a bit happier with some software image stabilization, at the expense of ten pixels a side or so. No idea why it doesn't already do this, or at least have the option.
I use it all the time.... as a play/pause button!

Incredibly useful... so I can open Handcent Quick SMS from within any app... you can also use it for Quick Settings.
I use mine to open up a "quicknote" app in conjunction with "button shortcut" app
Hi,
Ever since I got my Desire HD I've not been much of a fan of the camera (really bad quality when it's dark) and standard camera app. It's quite hard to press the button when taking photos and not looking directly on the screen. Do you know how o use one of the physical buttons like the volume ones to take a picture? Or do you have any other advice, e.g. a free phone app where you could at least press anywhere on the screen to focus and shoot?
Thanks a lot!

Hi there. When I take the photos to myself I mostly use the option of face recognition. It works pretty fine and takes foto just after catch your face in a frame and, by the way, you will hear it so that way to have a time to smile so you don't need to press anything! Cheers.
If you buy the pro version of Vignette, there's an option in its' settings to take a picture with the volume keys.
Cheers!
RE
In 2.3 version there is the same option... you can assign shooter to volume keys or to "find" button.

2.3 version of what? And where is the setting?
After reading this thread I downloaded the free vesion of Vignette.
That allows me to use either the volume button or touch anywhere on the screen to take a photo. I have a "flip" case on my DHD and that makes it a little awkward, but touching the screen is simples.
As the free version is classed as a demo I don't know if it will keep let me use these methods or not.

I'm using GB, but I havn't found that setting. Could you tell us where it is?
In the camera app press menu -> advanced options. Create shortcut there.
Create shortcut? After going to Camera -> menu-> Advanced just tick which buttons you want to use.
