As we all know sprint has released HTC evo and as we also know that it comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera in the front. Even tho our nexus did not come with a camera in the front are there any apps out there that can be used almost to a similar effect? If so what app? Or apps?
Qik Video or Fring are 2 I know of.

Did anyone ever try to use video calls with skype/google talk?
I noticed that the video stream the comes from the 2x is always WORSE in resolution that other phones (i tried 1 galaxy S, 2 galaxy wifi players = low end devices) and the resolution is much better. It seems like it's basically half. It's not the connection I'm using since I tried several combos, even with only the lg 2x with active video camera in a call on a 3MBit upload connection it's still the same crap!
Is this because of the lack NEON?
I think its because the front camera is very bad

Check if your screenprotector covers the camera.
Its both the back and front cameras, resolution is way too low and they show EXTREME aliasing
Lg optimus 2 x Front camera 1.3 megapixel for that its Should be good video quality. I tried to skype and it's Showed me gorgeous result.

Now that micro$oft is acquiring nokia does this mean the haac microphone technology that stmicroelectronics sold to htc early this year will never make it into future non-nokia devices? I know that agreement between nokia and stmicro was until the middle of 2014 but with ms taking over the nokia smartphone division in this same year I doubt they would want to license out anything to potential competitors. I guess the htc ones with these mics are about to become even more valuable. My real question is do existing htc ones still have the dual membrane microphones? Htc did remove this feature from the official specs page but hdr video recording is still listed on the back of every htc one box from what I have seen so I am assuming they still have stock. And if they still have stock will there be enough for when the one max comes out later this year? I'm a noob not only to this forum but to a lot of cell phone tech and tech terminology so if anyone had any opinions or answers I would appreciate the input. Thanks.

The mics were supposed to be removed from all future HTC One's as the tech was sold to HTC without proper licencing (they didnt go through Nokia) so i doubt the Max was ever supposed to use it. As for HDR recording I dont see what that has to do with the mic technology. HDR is typically a term used for lighting.

I recently read a thread here in the htc one forum that the way to know if you have the nokia microphone in your one was if it said hdr video on the back of the box. I guess that person who said that was mistaken.
HDR means high dynamic range... It commonly refers to an audio or video sensor's sensitivity to high and low inputs, whether sound or luminance.
I have a launch day One, and get impressive high spl audio recordings on video clips. I had an old thread around somewhere trying to figure out if the mics required special drivers, since audio only recording apps didn't sound as good as video from the HTC camera app...

Thanks for that clarification. I am really only familiar with HDR from gaming which refers to lighting processing.

It's actually the same thing. Audio and video are branches of signal processing, with techniques used in both cases. 1D vs. 2D signal processing.
None of the HTC One boxes I have seen mention anything about the microphone on them.
Closed, next time please read the rules before posting.
I am considering this phone and I would lie if I said that this HDR mic I've seen in action in some clips, is not one of the biggest thing I admire in this thing. There was much rumours and constant mentioning about changing mic's in newer HTC One's and somehow as of today it's impossible to find any comparison or even mention about how this new MIC works compared to Nokia HDR. Anyone care to shed some light on this? It would be much appreciated.

I need ur opinion guys....., is it GREAT CAMERA? I mean leaving every other thing aside is it a good camera cus I already have android devices and I need a good camera
Yes, it's great camera with poor support
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I agree, it does take great pictures and has the best LCD screen you can imagine for a camera. But sadly Samsung have lost all interest in supporting it, software features on the Galaxy Zoom and Note 3 are better and run higher version of Android.
If you can get one for a good price then go for it. I still love the camera but wish it would receive updates to fix interface lag issues.

Yes awesome camera, I use it daily and the Android features are a benefit that come in handy more then you may think. I also am disappointed the there has been no support for the camera. I would still buy the camera again, however mabey wait until the new one is released so you at least get a newer version of Android and more features and better chance of support from Samsung. I love this camera so much that I am actually considering purchasing the Galaxy NX instead of a DSLR here soon.
My camera no has dust inside and the image is affected...

Would this camera be a good device for streaming over the ustream app or using to add to a hangout? I want to stream speakers at meetings. Also does it have a mic port for a shotgun mic?

It does not have a mic port.
It does have a mini-HDMI -port, headphones jack (of course) and the default mini-USB -port (2nd of course
Also experiencing that interface lagging and it's quite annoying when you should be able to take a pic fast, without no waiting. I've done 1 factory reset to my device, it helped a bit.
I believe you can use an external mic with an adapter via the headphone jack. You'll need an iphone/ipad mic adapter and then it will work with any standard mic. I know I'm responding to this thread late, but the Galaxy Camera 2 has been out for a while and is already being discounted. It's running Android 4.3 and I'm not really experiencing any interface lag at all. For better battery life and other features I wish it was Kitkat, but JB 4.3 is definitely good enough.

photographers. Every one of the guys taking pictures for Royal Carribean was using this setup. It was pretty cool seeing all these nexus 5's around the ship. Can anyone with some camera insight give us an idea of how they are using the phone in conjuction with the camera?
Not a photographer and have no real knowledge of professional cameras, etc.
However it looks like he's using an OTG cable. I use one to pair my PS3 controller to my phone. My guess is they used it to instantly touch up / upload any photos that they took.
Edit: Anyone know what's mounted above the phone?

Above the phone is the card reader for when passengers want their photo taken. It associates the card with the picture and adds o the passengers database for viewing.
basically they using the N5 as a portable mini tablet...
they may use it as a viewfinder
they could backup pics to it
upload them
edit them
maybe even GPS tag them

I guess it is a combination of all said beforehand, card reader to read passenger cards, viewfinder (I got the same for my Canon), upload to cloud of pictures (got the same as WiFi SDcard), remote shutter etc.
And if anyone was wondering I took that picture with my moto x + qx100.
The only thing we can say for sure is they're not using it to actually take the photographs - ZING!
I use the same set up when I am on the road with my Canon 550D. You take a mini USB cable and attach it to the camera. Aftwerds to attach the USB 2.0 end to a USB OTG with a micro USB connection to go into the phone. Download DSLR controller by chainfire and presto you have the equivalent to a laptop on your phone. You can view pictures, send them to phone storage and FULLY control the camera remotely. And it provides a live view of what the camera sees. It goes as far as to letting you time lapse. Its an awesome app and worth the money. The card reader is obviously for selling the photos. Many photographers are using it now and so are waiters at restaurants here in nyc

The only thing I was not able to control was the flash compensation. Do you know how to do it?
If not I guess I have to send Chainfire a feature request lol
Except for that, money well spent on that app, I use it preferably when I am shooting cars for FORMAT67 and Hashiriay.net. I take several pictures with a polarization filter and merge them together in PS. When I use my L-Lenses, I sometimes move the tripod when I push the shutter. Not with that app anymore. I also have a 550D so it makes a nice viewfinder too.
