Can you use the front facing camera on the EVO to take self portrait pictures? I don't imagine you'd be able to easily line up the rear facing camera very well without being able to see the screen at the same time.

If you could only choose one of these, which would you have chosen for the Fascinate? (Obviously it would be best to have both).

I've noticed there's no way in the Camera API to set the orientation to portrait, so I'm forced to make my view landscape. Does anyone know how to tell the camera to deliver preview frames in portrait?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently seen quite a few people on here looking for an easy way to access the front camera. Search the market (or Google) for an app called Mirror 4 Evo. periodically do a market search for Evo and you will find some good apps. Some made for the evo and some will tell you if they work on the evo or not.

When testing it out with a friend being in the same place, I could see him clearly but he couldn't see me. We were standing next to each other in the same kind of light (street light at night). I could see me on his phone but it was very dark and it was more of the background light, i don't get it i thought that the Evo front camera was better than the iphone 4's front cam?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'm currently a Desire owner and contemplating pre-ordering the Desire HD. The deciding point for me is if it has a forward facing camera or not...
Nowhere on the internet mentions a forward facing camera. HTC, when I emailed them, stated the phone does not support video calls, however I then sent an email saying it looked like it had a forward facing camera on the earpiece and they replied to confirm that yes, it was a forward facing camera.
Looking at the pictures of the Desire HD, at the top right of the earpiece / speaker you can see a small object that looks like a forward facing camera.
Despite the email from HTC I'm still sceptical because it's not been mentioned anywhere else, including on their own specs on their website.

(at least early on) I hope a feature like this with video call capability works with all carriers...especially the new iphone 4g (im an HTC man, but the fact is so many ppl will have the new iphone). i have the feeling we will be the firsts with this technology and never really get to use it on a regular basis with this particular phone.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just been fooling with the front facing camera and I noticed something that maybe some of you can explain more thoroughly. When I have the camera held vertically, the alignment is great, but when I turn the phone horizontally the image has a funny angle. It is almost like the lens is angled to the right, which would mean that it is slightly angled down when held vertically. Am I just getting goofed up by the "mirror image" issue? This isn't a problem, but it does make self portraits while being horizontally held pretty weird.

View 17 Replies View RelatedIts a few pixels or so near the middle of the screen. Its not pixels solid out, but a few that almost looks like a 'mar'. It only shows up when the front camera is on, but if I take a picture, there are no marks on the screen?
This is the 'viewfinder' for the front facing camera (lens blocked so you can see it):
If I take the picture, it DOES NOT SHOW UP! I am rooted.
First of all. So I picked up my EVO a couple of hours ago. I was messing around with it, and switched the camera to the front one, which has now caused the screen to be blank, just black. None of the buttons function when it's like that, except the home screen. Please let me know if anyone knows anything I can do about it tonight.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen do you expect it to get fixed? I am a developer working on http://layar.eu and I had to go through lot of trouble to get the app working in portrait mode with camera preview, using a LOT of rotations. I have managed to get everything rotated to portrait except for the on screen inputmethod which still shows up in landscape. Do you have any suggestions for rotating that?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'd like my app to run on both Android versions 2.1 and 2.2. In one area of my app, there is a portrait-style camera - the process for producing a portrait camera preview is different (as far as I know) on the two OS versions. Here is how:
2.1:
Camera.Parameters parameters = camera.getParameters();
parameters.set("orientation", "portrait");
camera.setParameters(parameters);
2.2:
camera.setDisplayOrientation(90);
The setDisplayOrientation(int) method became available in API Level 8 (2.2) and, so, cannot be used on 2.1; however, using the 2.1 (Camera.Parameters) method does not rotate the preview and image correctly on 2.2. It seems odd that this incompatibility exists - is there a more correct way to do this that will allow me to target both platforms?
My application should hold a camera preview surface. The camera is fixed to landscape view via AndroidMainfest.xml I am quite new to the Android plattform programming. Of course I don't know much about the programming tricks and workarounds yet. I did a lot of research over the last two weeks (even studied the native Camera implementation), but couldn't find a good solution so far.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI believe DroidDave mentioned this in another thread over the weekend and I thought, "Hah! yeah right..." But I was just standing outside in the sun and noticed that it does seem to have a tiny lens in the top left corner of the phone. It could not be very good quality, but it does seem to be there... This is not wishful thinking on my part because I cannot see myself ever having a need for a front facing camera anyway, but it is interesting.

One more question, is there any other way using the stock programs to assign a picture to a contact without having to use the phone's own camera? i.e. linking a pic to contact from facebook or from the sd card?
View 6 Replies View Relatedjust went in to the verizon store to see why my girlfriends fascinate(i have an incredible ) wouldn't update. here's the conversation:
guy: it was pushed out to the first 1000, but things went wrong so they pulled it back(talking about the update i500.DI01)
us: ok so we shouldn't be worrying?
guy: no. but you'll get it sometime next week. then you'll get one the week after(didn't say what it would include) and then there will be one in november that will activate the front facing camera.
us: wait, what?
He showed us the 3 little dots on the top of the phone(sensors and i guess a camera).
He said that he talked to a samsung rep yesterday in the store and this is what he told him. the guy actually has a samsung fascinate and showed us so i'm going to believe him.
If you look closely at the 3 dots, the one on the left is alone. the one(s) on the right kinda have two different colors(light sensor and proximity sensor) so i still am going to believe him.
My friend has a galaxy S, but he says he does not have any apps taking advantage of the camera. Are there any uses of that front facing camera, or its just there for show or for people to snoop on to you?

How often do you take pictures of yourself? Even if you had one i am willing to be you would use it a few times shortly after you got the phone and then almost never again.. Not flaming anyone for wanting it im just sayin..
