Webcam App? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
i'm looking for an app to use the X1 as a webcam. I tried Webcamera Plus and Mobiola Web Camera but non of them worked. Seems like they couldnt find the x1 camera so anyone knows some app that works?

if your lookin to use it as a webcam for your computer check out mobiola...

mobiola webcam works fine with my xperia... and its very easy to use, plus it has the feature to actually broadcast ur mobile screen.. thats so cool

When i installed Mobioa Webcam i could see the Xperia Screen on my computer but it didnt use my camera. Can you explain me what i have to do so it uses the camera?

Im looking for a webcam app to use on my xperia. I used a program, forgot the name, that actually allowed me to use the xperia camera as a webcam while connected to the internet. Came in handy while talking to family while i was in Brazil. The only problem is the program didnt seem to utilize the front faced camera on the X1. Anybody have any apps that have enabled them to make use of the front facing camera? And let me specify, when i say use the xperia as a webcam i mean without connection to a computer.

Check this one out. I think this is what you are looking for.

ateksoft WebCamera Plus is the best web camera software for winMo but unfortunately doesn't work fully on HTC platforms ... nor on X1
Anyone have information about any other webcam software?

Ok i now managed to get WebCamera Plus work but the quality is really ****ty :/ I think i better buy a normal webcam but thank you anyway.

Well I'm not sure what you want to do with it.
However just check Bambuser

I just wanted to use my X1 as a webcam for messengers like wlm.

Have you actually used this for a teleconference? How did it work?
My network doesnt support it unfortunately.
So all i use for my front camera is a mirror / lame youtube blogs.
Actually I found out that the front camera takes photos much faster than the rear camera, and even though the resolution is not as good, the faster responsiveness often makes it a preferred tool for photos.
I've only used it once and it works well.
can someone post a pic from the front camera and post it here?
Here ya go.
at&t
does at&t support videoconference on its 3G? I have the Kaiser but no one to test with! I dont know anyone as self indulgent as myself who buys these things
dont mean to hijack this thread but can we use front camera for yahoo messenger or msn?

AT&T does support video calls, but you'll need to have a video calling packaged added to your line less you want extra charges. Another way for AT&T to make more $$. I can't wait for the day when video calls are no different from normal voice calls.

I was also wondering if (at the very least) one way teleconferencing would be available on AT&T (via cellular video)...obviously this is not on of the four supported phones, but with the 3g network in place it would be interesting to try...

ive checked the wiki and i still havent found a fix

Is there really not a proper fix out yet for our cameras?

Have a look through JimmyMcGee's link, then look through here. There are some stunning pictures. If you still can't take good photos it's probably you and not the camera.
isnt this what dutty runs on his rom?
its not like im displeased with the quality of picture... the lag is just ****ing unbearable and makes me want to never use it and the fix posted in the wiki doesnt seem to work for me

out of curiosity what are those pictures of?? water .. stacked in a nice looking room ... ??
I hate to tell you - it's a PHONE!
It is NOT a:
1. computer (although it works well to get email and short messages sent)
2. gameboy (although you can waste a lot of time playing games on it)
3. Nikon/Canon (although you CAN take some nice pictures on it)
It is what it is...
Best you can say - you need better get a phone that has a better picture taker on it - will you sacrifice something that is on your Tilt? Yup - most likely you will then say the phone is not good enough or the email is not good enough - or you need GPS...
Your picture actually looks pretty fine for a CELL PHONE!
Bill
Well, I have a Tilt as well and I must say my Tilt takes better pictures than that. Have a look at the thread where everybody posts pictures from their Kaiser. Compare them and see what settings they have things on.

Is it a stock rom or a cooked rom? What camera version are you running? Have you tried the photo quality cab floating around? Need a little more info to help.
But remember, it's a phone first. All the other stuff is just that, stuff.
Ok here are a couple things to do to improve Picture Quality. Remove the Battery Cover. Take a Picture. Did it Focus Faster. That Plastic piece in the Battery Cover is a Picture Destroyer.
Secondly Install Navadi Camera Fix. Also set the Shutter Sound Off and Set to half Press. Try those things.
did no one read my second post? the picture quality is not the problem... the lag in low lighting situations just turns me off from using it because its just such a pita... im currentily running duttys 6.1... so im assuming everyone just deals with it?
Bingo. We jsut deal with it.
You know what they say, "Jack Of All Trades, Master of None."
The Kaiser can do a lot of stuff, but it does none of it well.

It's not searchable in the marketplace. You need to download it using the link directly on the phone.
I strongly recommend using the QR code from the official blog post.

Are Skype calls on the Beta version free? Seems I can make outbound calls through the dial pad ! Am I going to receive a bill later on ?
not every region can download that.

No, not for the moment and there are a lot of complains on their forums about it too.
Me for one, I don't like it that it wont stay live either, not even with Push notifications, but its also said in an interview that they're working on a solution
IM: It is not possible to receive IM's when Skype is not in foreground
Workaround: None available

Xperia SP has a faulty gyroscope?

Hey guys, I have been trying forever to get 3d live wallpapers on my xperia sp, but it doesn't work! it won't get the 3d effect like every phone that has gyroscope, why this happens? tried with several apps and on different roms but the same! Any idea?

My Xperia SP compass and gyroscope doesnt works...
pretty weird, i can't seem to make any parallax wallpaper the way it should be, it's like it only uses accelemeter and doesn't have gyro or gravity sensor
Someone? i would like to know more about this issue..
I think is problem for you? what about service test like the guy in the second post? have u tried? that could mean u throw ur phone or something like that, for me both service test and parallax wallpaper works fine
Yep, for me it also works fine.
Once I accidentally dropped my phone and the vibrations(haptic feedback, etc.) stopped working.
Maybe it's not the best solution, but I hit the phone with my hand and it was fixed.
Btw, thanks to that problem, I noticed the existence of Parallax wallpapers.
Steve, exactly, i have apps to test sensor they are all working.. parallax wallpapers don't work like in devices with gyro, just watch some videos on youtube and you'll probably notice what i'm saying, can you test it anyways to see if u have the 3d effect?

I used the Asteroids 3D LWP to test it out and it works perfectly fine, like on iOS 7 device with that parallax effect.
Hey steve, i'm not sure if ur talking about a real 3d effect where things really seem to be there or just the thing i get that doesn't look like 3d at all.. i just tested that asteroid live wallpaper and there's no 3d effect as i suspected, every sensor of my phone is working the way it should, again, i have many apps that show me my sensors and if they are working or not and everything is fine.. btw phone is new and i never dropped it, anyone with ideas?? anyone at all that has a different phone with gyro that can teste 3d wallpaper and test back on sp to see the differences?

Desktop mode?

Has anyone gotten desktop mode working? I haven't been able to with any adapter that worked with my mate 10 pro...
Yeah works using a cheap Amazon usb c to hdmi for me..
Yep, cheapest USB-HDMI that I could find on Amazon worked fine.
Yep £10 adapter from Amazon works a charm although one thing I've noticed is that Excel/Word will not work on there without a 365 licence which is a little annoying.
I got it working using an amazon adaptor but the quality of the picture is very suspect for me. Looking at some really nice photos I have taken on there doesn't do them any justice really.

It's most likely because you're viewing on a 1080/4K monitor and not the phones native resolution which is what it outputs at. (Pretty daft if you ask me) Also someone mentioned if viewing on a TV that changing the input settings of the HDMI to PC improves quality too.

Most of the apps including Microsoft excel mobile do not work in landscape mode in Huawei desktop mode. Not sure what is the plan from Huawei to close the gap of compatibility issue.

Allrighty... Guess I was trying to be too fancy by using USB C docks. Though they worked on the Mate.

I wanted to do something like this, so that the phone gets docked into an already setup dock (HDMI/USB Mouse Keyboard) rather than just plugged in to a wire. But couldn't see anything that would fit the bill. Considering making something myself to solve the problem
I'm using something similar to this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARKTEK-Cha...F8&qid=1525091973&sr=8-24&keywords=usb+c+hdmi
and thinking of modifying this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Youbeautif...=1525092036&sr=1-5&keywords=clear+phone+stand
So would be a case of mounting the USB C port through the bottom of the stand and then fixing the ports themselves to the bottom base of it.
