Uses for front-Facing camera

I have the Kaiser on its way. This is my first device with a front-facing camera. previously had the ATT 8525. Is there any other use for the front-facing camera other than with 3G video calling? Can it be used with messenger or skype or for anything else?

Well with the TyTn it was possible to use the front camera with the Coolcamera application - for such things as a webcam etc, But, I think I read somwhere here that there is a problem with coolcamera and the Kaiser.
Perhaps someone can confirm (or not) that this is the case.

I read about that same problem in Pauls review thread on MoDaCo. I was wondering the same thing, what can the front cam do for us in the USA?
For starters, the built-in camera app does let you select the front cam "Camera 2" for stills and it lets you flip the image as well , so no need for a mirror on the back like my 8525 had.
Hopefully there will be a way to use it for video conferencing at some point.

this report I found to be a step backward (??) in term of video conferencing ??

I don't know, a face is a face. I just checked this bug out using the camera app, Very Interesting!;
I set it to Camera2, my face was a mirror image, I held a text card and yes the text was reversed.
I set it to Camera2 Flipped, my face was "normal", text was readable.
Here's what's ODD, in the Camera2 setting, if I "barrel rolled" rotated the camera 360 degrees while watching the monitor, My face was always upright!
If I set it to "Camera2 Flip" and rotated the camera, my image rotates upside down as the camera rotates.
That's different!

[discuss] Using the Wide-angle camera as a primary camera

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if we can use the wide angle camera for camera apps such as Snapchat and or Camera MX. Itt would be amazing to show off on ur friends.
I think where we should look is how to switch the primary camera to the wide-angle camera.
Your ideas are welcomed!! :good:

Tried WhatsApp & twitter, both let you toggle all 3 cameras.

I have another concern. If there are AOSP or CM-based ROMs in the future, is there going to be a way to make the Google camera app use the wide angle lens? Or even better, be able to switch between the lenses like the stock ROM?

I wouldn't use it as primary because it lacks auto focus but I'd love to switch between them especially for photosphere photos..
It works for whatsapp but it doesn't for Google camera

If Twitter and WhatsApp let you use all three cameras, hopefully it's just a case of waiting for Snapchat and Google to implement support.

Yeah, i guess we need just a little more time for snapchat to support the third camera, specially more up coming phones now have 3 cameras

Don't expect anything from snapchat team. They are super lazy for anything about android.

Try Casper Snapchat client (casper.io) it let's use choose which camera app u want to to take snaps with including lg's camera.

I dont recommend using casper because you get banned from snapchat
