Can the front facing camera be used for anything?
Maybe the mobile Skype app, so you can have video calling?
I removed it...
You removed the front facing camera.
it's put there to do video calling
though not all operators support it
mainly usa dont have it
but i never used it myself really cost too much
and of cause only works if the other end

Look at yourself!
Can you use it for anything?
Sure... you can use it to take pictures of yourself (only VGA quality, though)... you can use it to have a shave, look for blemishes on your face... admire yourself...
Errm, I think I better stop now!

Hey zwaps it was a fig of speech... it is not possible to remove the front camera and besides if the camera is not used energy will not be used ....
Does anybody know if you can use the front facing camera with the Skype to do video calling?

I'd like to know that too, and is it a free service or do you have to have skype credits to do that?
Skype has not released a mobile version that supports video calling. However, there is a program called vzochat (vzochat.com) and it supports video calling over the internet on your diamond. Much like skype video calling. Its not too bad, worth a try.

Last fall, I used mine to take a video of myself spinning around in a forest full of colorful trees. I started really slow and gradually picked up the speed until I couldn't spin any faster! Living in the US, is was pretty much the only use I discovered but it sure made one heck of a cool video.

hahahahaha... funniest thing I've read in a while.
There is a one more thing...
Just go to http://vzochat.com, download mobile client and use it like skype, but with video!!!
doesn't work with front cam
Thanks for the info!
I just installed vzochat ap on my Diamond and would like to test the quality of the video call feature.
There are some special tweaks for HTC Diamond supposed to allow us to use the front camera instead of the default one which is on the back side.
Is there any one already using vzochat or willing to try it out?
You can PM me your user ID and I'll give you mine too so we can try to place a video call and see how is the quality.
Cheers!

Did you get it working? I installed at my notebook and at my Diamond but it only works at my notebook.

I just tested vzochat between my diamond and my computer.
The framerate is too slow. If you disable the camera you can see the other person with a decent framerate, but the with both turned on it's no as good as I imaged. It works with the front camera, you have to download the other .cab with the configurations.
when you install it to the diamond you have to go to htc tweaks in the program and enable front camera i think its "diamond tweak" or something. It works ok. Not the best quality but its decent enough for a beta

If anyone wanna try this videochat software, register on vzochat.com, install on your Diamond and let me know your vzochat ID in PM.
I've already registred and installed and I'm willing to try.

So, the newest leaked images of the second generation iPhone reveal video calling. Check it out at http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/06/0...-colors-check-video-chatting-check-and-check/
Video just became a little more fun. Start a real time video chat with other AT&T subscribers via 3G networking, or with iChat buddies via WiFi. The video calling revolution has begun.

If you have a TyTn II with a front camera, looks like you might actually be able to use it on the AT&T Network.
Maybe.

My remark was without elaboration, sorry for not completing my thought
Live video over their 3g network to other AT&T customers ? Video calling , video conferencing, video sharing? All semantics. My point was , AT$T aready has one way video calling ( sorry , Sharing ) and Apple has iChat (two way internet video chat) neither anything new, To add two way video calling ( sorry sharing) ala iChat to other AT$T phones and to add iPhone to the 3G network didn't seem to me to be a revelation that was going to corner the market for Steve Jobs and AT$T.
Sorry if I rained on anyones parade. By all means , woot woot woot
Is it possible to have an app to turn your phone in to a wifi web cam?
This would be the ultimate spy tool for babysitters, cheating spouses... you name it.
I would think it would need to be plugged in or it would drain the battery fast.
This is not for viewing existing web cams, there are already apps out there that do that.
I want an app to turn your phone in to a web cam.

Why doesn't Google implement video chat into Gtalk or Google voice? I think that would be the next logical step in the evolution of those two apps what do you guys here think?
Skpe is good but I don't use it and I would rather use a app that I already use on my desktop that I am familiar with that I can use on my mobile device.
(Nexus One) plus it would give me a choice.
I know that the Nexus One does not have a front facing camera, but a native video chat app for the android os would be best. plus it simple to make a mirror for the camera so that it can be use for video chat.
What makes you think they're not working on it for Android already?
http://www.google.com/chat/video
I know that they have the plug in for the desktop which i use, i do hope that it will be implemented ,maybe the next update (gingerbread).
Won't do us much good without a front facing camera. Maybe once the hardware becomes more common they will add it.
I remember when video phones were all the rage many years back. The plans were ridiculous, the quality was piss poor, and no one used it. Now that mobile networks are getting faster it might start to make sense finally.
well once a long time ago i had a iphone (god forgive for i have sin) and some guy had written a video chat program for it which never was release but i copy the mirror setup to use the camera on the iphone which did not have a front facing camera. so nexus one could use it .
You don't have to have a front facing camera for video chat.
Imagine you're talking to someone and see something cool. "Hey, check this out" / turn on video chat for a few seconds and point at whatever / turn video chat off.
As video chat becomes more and more popular, I bet that's what it'll be used for rather than looking at someone's face for 30 minutes.

I certainly hope they do but I don't think they're in much of a hurry because alternative services like Fring and Skype already have it covered.
However [and this may be a little off the rails] I hope that MMS is high on their Google Voice priority list because people send me pictures and not only can I not see them, it doesn't even tell me that I got it. Very annoying.
Whats the point to use video chat to show someone something, just record a video and mms it. I don't think video chat will catch on anyways, its been tried before with landlines. People just don't like to be seen when talking on the phone. They wouldn't mind seeing you but they don't want to be seen. Plus I see schools getting pissy about new types of "sexting."

for one its real time ,i won't have to open another app to send a mms, i can just point and show and im done.
I guess it's a question of time that Google will bless us with a full blown video app (mobile or not). The recent acquisition of Gips gives us a hint.
As voice and video is however only marginally close to Google's mission (and possibly, core competence) of making the world's information universally accessible, they are dragging their feet. And, they make internet-enabling all sorts of devices a priority.
But I can't wait for an integration of Google voice with gizmo5, which would make the talk/chat client more Skype-like.

Video chat should be made standard into android and smartphones in general. Its of great use for people that communicate thru sign language. I know it would help friends of mine and their families.

Yes that would be a pretty good feature and I suspect that most phones that come out next year will have a front facing camera.
?
Why do they leave the video calling feature out... it doesnt make any sense to remove useful features on the new os.

People don't use it, infact it's a massive flop.
Apple have tried to revive it with "facetime" but I don't think it'll get very far tbh.
actually I think it'll be more a success this time round, when it was first implemented people weren't as comfortable being in front of a cam as they are now... see chat roulette etc as proof
lol its the most pointless thing ever, especially with facetime, can only be used on wifi? ill just use my web cam on my pc then...
No body uses it, and its not going to take off... the only way it would take off is there was a chat roulett app lol.
Well, the Skype file is too large to load on here. It's the 3G version that has been floating around on other forms. I'm using it now and it works really well connected to my EVO. Also the NHL works well for live streams and videos full screen. PM if you need Skype apk and I'll email it to you.

Have you tried downloading spare parts from the market and disabling compatibility mode?
Good look. I forgot to mention that. I did that first before I installed the others. Make sure you get spare parts and uncheck compatibility mode.

No video and calls work over 3G and WIFI. The one from the market doesn't work over 3G. Not a big deal for some. I"m subscribed though, 30 a year unlimited calling. Saves me minutes to landlines.
I would suggest you take down root explorer, as its not free and considered warez.
