Front Facing Camera, what do I do with it?

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
got a phone with a front cam too

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!

How and why?
To save energy or something?

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

Ya hala anytime

UP!
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.

[APP] - Tv.com

Just downloaded a new App from the market called Tv.com... For those missing the Sprint TV app, this is a very good replacement... and it is free!
Be sure to check it out...

Yup, very good app. I'm on edge and the videos still load pretty quick. Only downside is it's a cbs app so channel listing is rather limited.

Great start! I wish it wasn't just clips of Showtime shows. Hope more gets added.

I searched tv.com but couldnt find anything
Is it a free or paid app?

its free but with 2 major downfalls..
1 every shows is made into 1-2 minute clips which is annoying as hell to watch.
2. it does not make use of the full screen its like youyube used to be when you were not on wifi

Very nice. The resolution is way better than the Sprint TV app, sound quality is good, and I'm not seeing skips or pixelations.
Now if only the other networks would work on their offerings plus have Netflix streaming... oh to dream...

So where can I download this? What do I search?

I would have to say GMote. It talks seamlessly with your computer, so that you have your entire music collection with you. It streams rather well... Its nice when you have a Multi TB music collection.

do you mind me asking how do you have yours set up? i was only able to get it to work via my home wifi connection (same goes for all of the "remote" apps, ie. remote desktop & rdp, phonemypc). but i need it to work from a remote location.

before the last update google maps had me off by quite a bit now its dead on and I dont lose signal as often either....

Head to DynDns.com and set up DNS account (free). Have it tied to your ip address. Then, for gmote settings, instead of your internal IP, put in your chosen web address.

Nextel eat your heart out!
My fav is the app called "tikl" it is just like nextels PTT system but for android and doesnt use your minutes! international calling say what? lol its beta and free atm... I would pay for an app that is just like nextels ptt... the beta is good but it could be better... hint hint devs!

Maybe not very exciting, but I've found I can't live without LauncherPro.
For more neat-o factor, c:geo and Robotic Guitarist.

camera 360
i use so many useful apps all the time for different things I have my favorite app of the week. Camera 360. There is free and paid. you can take a photo and it will add effects that the stock camera does not. It can take the picture and "sketch" it so it looks as someone drew it. it also does that with painting which is neat. it will also add a ghost into the pics just for fun or creepy with kids or something. It's fun. I paid for the app after using free and it adds the ability to take a b/w photo with color added to just one spot or something. it is neat.

tried the camera 360 but it drained my battery fast I still use it from time to time.

You tube video quality

What does everyone think about YouTube videos on the HD7?? It looks terrible to me. Thoughts anyone???

Yeah unless on WiFi it sucks big time. I hope they either update or hack it to go HQ on 3g.

seems to depend on my connection quality, on a friend's inexpensive connection it looked like it does on an edge connection, on some 3g towers it seems the same as it does on home wifi, and on edge it looks like mud

No, on all 3G towers it looks like crap. You have to be on WiFi for a decent looking picture right now. Really crappy.

Yes, I downloaded the YouTube app from the Marketplace. The app then allows you to watch YouTube videos from Internet Explorer.

basically its not an app at all and is just a link to your browser, very unimaginative stuff
anyone any ideas on being able to use other browers?? Or any talk of an update
ANYONE???

No, it actually installs the codecs and whatnot so you can view YouTube videos from your browser, so it does do more than just install a browser link.
No clue when any updates to fix the YouTube quality are coming, hopefully soon!

[Q] Google Movie App Missing?

I got the Android 3.1 update OTA this morning on my Stock Wi-Fi Xoom in the US. The update went through with no problems, but now I have just noticed that the Google "Videos" App for renting movies is no where to be found. I've looked in the Market as well and couldn't find it.
Any ideas as to why it isn't on my Xoom and how I could get it? Thanks.

I guess that is the problem. I don't see a Video/Movie app anywhere in my app list. Any idea as to why or where I can download it from?

Nvm, I checked other Xoom forums, including Motorola's forum, and have seen that the missing Videos app is a widespread problem, mostly on Wi-Fi Xooms. Hope Moto/Google fix this fast, I was hoping to rent a video for a trip I'm going on this weekend.
EDIT: Here is a quote from a forum manager over at Motorola:
"The rollout to Wifi users has started -- obviously -- but the Movies function won't be available from Google at rollout. Google is saying in the near future. My personal opinion only is that means probably two or three weeks, but again, that's just my opinion."
Well this stinks. Don't see any reason why they delayed movies for us Wi-Fi people.

Must be a random thing because I have a wifi only xoom at it was there right after I iinstalled 3.1.

i need it as well :-(

I haven't seen it either... no Video app on 3.1 Wifi only Xoom

Try pushing this to system/app
No clue if it will work

It seems like if you got 3.1 OTA, then no Google Movies. If you upgraded another way, then you likely have it.

Tried just running it and I got a warning saying: "This is a sysyem application. Do you still want to replace it?"
Sounds like it's already there, but just with no way to access it.

i think that the video app is there bc when i go to tegra zone to watch a video on upcoming games i have to choose between Video player or another video app i have installed. im gonna try the video apk thing and see if it works.

never pushed an apk before
can someone post instructions for this for adb through windows?
