What if your phone could have a front-facing camera without actually having one?

I've been thinking about what was missing in our HD2s.. finally i found it!
its this >> AWESOME <<

I wonder if they would make such a thing for our HD2s.. that would be very cool!
we would have a face-front video chat Skype or Fring..
Sharing is caring.​

To bad I couldn't get the one I made that nice looking!!

wait... you made one right?
atleast share with us your idea.. how you made it.. and how it looks like, pictures?

The title of this thread was so confusing, I had to click on it. But you're right, that's actually a good idea! What would be cooler is if it was imbedded in a case, so that it could just flip out when needed... I have the "Body Glove" that has the kickstand, but it'd be neat to have the mirror flip out and allow iphone-like skype... although, not sure I'd ever use it.

i did make one. made it out of balsa wood and used two mirrors off a small disco ball. it took me a few trys of getting the mirrors angles right but did get it. i wish i could show some pictures but its gone, thats what i get for leaving it out where my kids ( and by kids, i mean my cats) got to it. you could make one too. with some time, and more time, and some glue and sharpe knife you too could have one. balsa wood is lite and easy to carve. you can get little mirrors and the wood at any craft or hobby shop. all you need to do is carve two pieces of wood to fit on top of the phone snug and have two places for the mirros to sit in the wood, hardest part is getting the angles right so you can hold the phone or put in a cradle and sit back and chat away. good luck if some-one trys. if you do, lets see it. ill be making another one, when its done i will have pics for yall.

That is one helluva idea there buddy. I too many months ago thought about making one like this but never got around to it....probably because I would never use it. But the mirror built into a case is an idea someone should work with.

I agree, if this was built into a case, that would be awesome. Heck, this might be a better video chatting experience than with a real front camera as you won't need to use that vga crap lol.

Didn't notice this before. Doesn't look like something they will come out with soon though. They're still looking for a manufacturer from what I've read. Wish all these companies would hurry up with the solution for phones without front facing cameras. This one took a great sleek approach to it. I have actually ordered the IseeU and it's suppose to take a while to ship, but if it doesn't ship I'll just cancel it and wait it out for this one.

UPDATE
Ordered the Iseeu and as it turns out it doesn't exactly work for the HD2 (duh). The angle the clip is at and the mirrors aren't made to work correctly on the HD2. Hopefully this prevents other people from ordering one in hopes of it working on the hd2.

Wouldn't the image show up flipped upside down? Just thinking about the angles, it doesn't look like it would work correctly without an inverting lens

I wondered how long it would be before someone spotted that!

Well actually, it looks like the back of the clip is acting as the third mirror, which in essence would make the end image the right way up.
Very interesting concept though, but would benefit from being built into a case. Can you imagine having to dig this out of a pocket everytime you wanted to use it?? I'd lose it way before I had the chance to use it!!!

There is no back. Only 2 45° mirrors.

Dunno if I`m actually right but... the first one flips it once, the second one flips it back. There`s no need for any third mirror...

Doesn't matter. With tango you can flip the image around. If you touch the switch camera onscreen, it will flip the image. It's meant to switch from the Rear camera to the front, but on the HD2 it just flips the image. I want a mirror. I hope someone comes out with one for the HD2

I'll make some !
OK, my years of trolling have ended. I'll throw some things together in the next 5-7 days and post my results/pics.
I have the ability to mold small run plastics. I'm even thinking simple heat formed mirrored acrylic/poly sheet. Depending on the size of reflective surface needed I think I have a way to integrate it into a case and have it simply pop/slide up.
Small run <100 shouldn’t be a problem. Technology/New phones are released so quickly it's just not cost effective to produce something like this in mass.
Yes, other than using a prism the image will be upside down. As long as Tango can flip image I don't see a problem.

[Q] Shake your Xperia Play

Hey Folks
As a nooby I must admit I'm quite intimidated by the video I was subjected to at registration but I've worked up the courage to start up a new thread
My Xperia play has an audible rattle when it is shook even lightly.I'm trying to firgure out what this is as it does not happen to my brothers.Another thing is that there is no rattle when the phone is open in controller mode but only when it is closed.
I'm wondering if this is normal with x amount of phones or whether or not its dodgy.It must be something to do with the hinges as far as I can see because it does not make a sound when it is open.Any response would be greatly appreciated
I've seen a thread similar to this on these forums as I've been lurking for a while.I'm just wondering how common if at all common is this?

If I shake mine up&down fast enough, it makes a small rattle. Doesn't seem harmful, and my phone's been working perfectly for months.

Gave mine a little shake up and down and it rattles a little. My phone is fine. Never noticed because I never shaked it before.
Sent from my R800x using XDA App

Yep, mine rattles when the gamepad is closed, but doesn't when it's open. It sounded like it could be the buttons but I shook it while holding different variations (of buttons) but it still rattles. It must be something inside that becomes taut when you open the gamepad.
Out of interest, why were you shaking your phone?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Also, I don't have to shake it much, and it rattles when shook in any direction, more so when up and down though.

Has anybody else noticed that, whilst typing, the two halves of the phone sometimes hit against each other?

Hey guys thanks for the replies.
I always get all ocd with my new gadgets .I wasn't sure if this was a widespread minor annoyance or a defected handset.I got a flashlight widget which requires a shake to switch on and off so that's how I discovered it.
To milkyJoe.that problem drove me absolutely insane so I had to come up with a solution.i'll post it tomorrow when i've more time pal

Yeah mine does that, annoys the hell out of me. I thought about going into Verizon and seeing if they can do anything. My screen half has become more loose than I think is acceptable.

there was a thread about this a while back and i think that they found out the reason it does this is because of a cable or a loose piece of plastic in all xperia plays. it's perfectly normal and nothing is wrong.

Same here!

Whats more important is the fact that the slide mechanism scratches the deck pad near the select button after repeated open and close
It's a manufacturing defect and I've seen it twice on 2 different models of Xperia
So I know it's not a coincidence.
My newest one has a rubber protector over it I made to stop the scratching and the "jiggle" the OP is talking about

Man that is genius! I should look into that, although I haven't really gotten any scratches from the slider yet and I've had it since June.

I took it apart thoroughly and there are several loose parts inside, but I'm pretty sure it's the power/lock button. The flat cable that slides is not going to make a sound like that and the headphone jack and front-camera didn't seem nearly as problematic.

On my third one and I just put clear tape over it. My first one didn't show wear nearly as fast. I disassembled the second and saw that the Teflon (or whatever it is) dome nub/button was kinda creased and had collected contamination, though the damage was already visible while the phone was otherwise pristine and new (hardly even a speck of pocket lint!). It wipes right off and, honestly, I think it was the metallic paint that it was scrubbing off and not externally acquired dirt or dust. My second one also quickly developed a scratch on the underside of the top piece from a screw on the bottom that was screwed in too far and protruding. This was before I took it apart, so I am not to blame!

New S-Pen with Grey Button?!

Noticed that new SGN units come with an S-Pen that contains a Grey Button instead of the respective color of the pen. Anyone else noticed this?

That would let us see the flipping thing instead of hunting for it every time!

I bought a spare stylus and it has a grey button, i confirm

Just got my note yesterday, it had a pen with grey button. I'm having problems with the button though, I find its not very responsive when trying to Swype the menu and back functions, I have to press much harder on the button and screen than I am comfortable with.
Is this same with the other pens?

Drop of Tippex or Nail varnish on the button - done!
Agree though that a different coloured button should have been on all Note stylii!

The S-Pen button is on the same side as the "clip" though, so I never have problems finding it.

Does anyone know if you get some type of paint / nail polish / sticker that glows in the dark. i use my phone a lot when the lights are off when my child is sleeping and would prefer something that is easy to find in the dark.

If you added coat of nail polish, it should be fine.

Well your all talking about stuff you can see. Seems kinda pointless if you still gotta look to find it
What it needs is texture so you can find it without looking. I'm thinking their might be just enough tolerance in the pen slot to accommodate 2-3 little bumps.
To make a rivet effect before (on a steam punk esque phone I made) I've sliced the round ends off of hairbrush bristles and superglued them on. Think I'm gonna try that

Good to hear Samsung are listening to our rants. The pen was quite awkward to use. Slight sideline, but just out of interest, has anyone noticed any other micro changes with the new production notes apart from the pen change? Any screen improvement in particular banding, black clipping etc.?

I can confirm that the "new" S-Pen has a grey button. I actually got the new one with the S-Pen holder accessory (I thought it only came with the outside holder... turns out it also comes with an S-Pen so... free S-Pen?)

free ? the lot costs $35 for just a plastic holder that would be
quite expensive. So for the holder+extra pen the price is right.

[GUIDE] One Handed Unlocking - The Idiots Guide!

OK so at first this seemed like maybe a bit of a joke but then I thought actually some people if not used to the power button placement on the 'One' might actually find this useful.
To all others I mean no offense, nor am I teaching you to suck eggs.
(All pics taken with my old DHD and my shaky left hand, hence some blur!)
This is a simple guide showing how to unlock your HTC One with one hand
(Note, I have used my right hand as I am right handed. I shall attempt left hand at a later date if requested)

1. This image shows my standard grip/hold of the phone and it sets up all other actions.
2. Slide/Move forefinger to rest on the Power button
3. Press Power button firmly! (Yes that's my daughter - and now I can catch her thanks to Zoe )
4. Slide/Move forefinger back to original resting position behind phone.
5. Move thumb to sliding screen lock.
(Although you can see my initial grip has moved you'll find that your hand will naturally move as your position your thumb)
6. Press and slide the lock upwards and then move your thumb back to original grip.
(Your hand will return to where it was previously, you'll find that you end up doing the unlock and re-position in one fluid movement)
Now you're good to go and you still haven't had to remove your left hand from your pants yet! WIN!​

Thumb exercises! This is how I hold my Xperia S too.

Very true however these forums aren't just for people who wish to root their devices. I'd just noticed a few mentions about the power button placement and how awkward etc it is so wanted to share how it can be done very simply. Of course to most this may seem stupid but to the odd few perhaps might show them where they're going wrong.

Wtf.

Lmao this is stupid. Can you make one to show us how to charge the phone with one hand?

I think there is some good info there, I was having a lot of trouble pressing the power button and even dropped the phone while trying to do so. I guess it was my own fault for trying to operate the phone with my feet.
Now that I see you can use your hand I feel very stupid!

Hmm, been thinkin´bout launching a kickstarter project to create a lever-thingy-device that attach to the side of the One with a lever and linkage. If you press the lever on the side it will by the means of a clever linkage transform the pushing force up onto the top of the device where it actually pushes the real power button.
Would you like to kick in ...say 20 bucks for this? I´ll start cadcamming and create a mockup at once

Seriously though, when I got got my HTC Butterfly (still waiting for my preorder of the HTC One here is Australia) which is also a larger device, I found I pull the phone out of my left pocket, press the power button with my left index finger, then swipe to unlock with my right hand... If I had to I could somewhat perform the method described in the OP, which I found quite awkward and having to shuffle my grip with danger of the phone slipping.
Shall be interesting with the One (if the damned thing ever arrives...)

Might want to take off the clear protector on camera and flash

I think maybe the clear plastic on the camera was effecting my pictures. Well I hope so. LoL. It's not easy getting off especially the flash one. I did it carefully because I didn't want to scratch them. I guess if your pictures are fine then you can leave them on but damn Samsung you should put tabs on them so it's easy to take off. I would think all S6 Edges come like that. Mine is from T-Mobile. Darn you can't see it. I'll post a bigger picture.

See the white line in sky close to the bird way up in the sky? It goes from the top to the bottom. I noticed on 5 pictures and different angles.

Good call, i have always known about the stickers and remove them for customers usually (i sell phones for a living) but i didnt notice the flash one! gotta check it out now, thanks!

Thanks!!! I hadn't even noticed them.

Can you guys see in the sky what I'm talking about? If so do you think I might be right about the picture protector being the issue? Guess I should take more pictures now but stupid rain all week. Lol. Just want to find out if I have a issue with my camera.
A girl with nails might help getting the stickers off. LoL. I think I just lightly put my finger on the corner of the bottom of the flash and moved slightly up. I then noticed that it was on. I wonder if it's on my Note 4. LoL

The first thing I did is taking them off with the plastic cover of the phone

Thanks for the headsup + :good:

I"ll be damn, I missed those also, thanks.

I used a piece of strong packing tape to get them off. Just touched and pulled. Much easier than trying to get your fingernail in there and risking a scratch.

You can still scratch the lens regardless if it's on or not. Having a $700+ phone I've very careful with it. Plus a case could help raise it a tad so the camera isn't flush.

Thanks for the answer ill read that droid life article and might get rid of those stickers
i wanted to ask something instead of making a new thread
for some reason i cant see the tickets button in chrome browser so any time i want to awap to another ticket i've ipened i need to press the left button near the home button
why is that?is it better to just use the default brpwser?

Heh, I was so annoyed with this that I even took it off the demo unit at my local BestBuy when I was playing with it. First thing I did when I took mine out of the box.

Each to their own

Funny how so many of these youtube tech reviewers forget to remove it.

By the way I took them off but they don't have effect on the picture quality as the lens over only covers the edges not the lens itself as u can see so it doesn't matter u keep it or take it off
