[Q] MMS video resolution issues- Blurry - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys- I need some assistance with the Sony Xperia Z mobile android phone please-
I am posting here as you are all very knowledgable and you will , i hope, respond!
Regarding video messaging with my Xperia z.
I go into " messaging", then select the "paper clip" option, then click "record video"... The vido will NOT focus and looks BLURRY- there is NO focus available by recording this way (but its the only way that works to send a video MMS).
I need someone to test this for me urgently.
How can you send good quality MMS videos via text MMS and have the ability to be able to focus the screen?
Attaching any video direct though the message option is awful! Can you let me know if the phone should be able to focus or have I got a faulty Xperia?
I would really appreciate of someone from here can advise me as to what the issue is?
Thank you so much
Michelle

Accessing the QCIf video camera directly in software

Does anyone know if it's possible to access the forward-facing video camera via software oneself, even if the Video Call feature is not available on your network ? I work for at a hospital and as a "pet project" ( telemedicine ) one of the doctors who has a Kaiser would like to be able to video conference in with the forward facing camera. I would like to pursue this ( and I just might get a Kaiser for myself in the process..hint..hint ), and am curious if anyone has attempted to access the QCIF camera directly.
Any suggestions will be welcomed. Thank you.
Yes
open the camera application, the open the camera menu. (little bar below in the screen) lower line in the middle shows camera, press this button and the camera switch to the forward camera...
And if you want the front camera to start up by default, I scanned the registry and you should change the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> software --> HTC --> Camera --> common
change the value of activecameraID from 1 to 2, voila front camera will start first.
offtopic: did anyone tried this already with an voip program and videovoiping? going to check it right away... Because it always starts the rear camera...
cheers
It doesn't work with MS Portrait
I have emailed MS regarding updates to Portrait and compatibility with front facing cameras. They replied saying they are aware of the Camera issue and that they would notify me of any updates.
I am not holding my breath... MS updates are few and far between compared to the rate of development achieved by some of the geniuses on here.
Thanks but....
Thanks for the replies, but I meant programmatically. I'm not trying to take pictures. I want to know where I can find information about how to programmatically access the camera, for a custom application that would run over 3G which would both stream video to the display, and capture and stream video out of the QCIF ....just as if the video call feature were available, but for networks where this is not possible.
As I said, this is for supporting a telemedicine application, that would allow the doctor to interact with a patient at bedside, when they are not physcially present.
For an application that would allow the video conferencing, you might want to consider MeBeam (www.mebeam.com). It's a flash based site that allows you to video conference with up to eight other people. I'm not sure if their flash application will be able to detect your hardware, but it's worth a shot.

[Q] front camera video calls??

Hey guys...does anyone knows how to make videocalls using the front camera like on yahoo for example??
Thanx for advance
Froyo doesn't support using the front camera for video calls. Wait for the Gingerbread update.
Got it... thank you so much bro
It supports 3G video calls, but I don't think that's supported in the US.

Screen adjustment?

today i played the same video (youtube video via the youtube app )on the SG4 and my Z and i couldn't tell the real difference between them both but as i know our screen is kicking asses ;/ when i open the same picture on my phone was amazing but not the same way around
anyone knows how to get the best of the screen ? or the best settings for our Z ?

Video MMS Mode?

My old Note 2 had a preset for MMS Video which allowed me to send video over mms with out sending a huge file. Does the Z1 or Z1S have anything similar?
I couldn't find any app or Xposed module that can do this. The closest thing are apps that shrink your video after the fact and they take a lot of extra work and time.
Thanks for any assistance.

Anyone Have Any Expeirnce With Marco Polo Video App - Video Not Showing After Recordi

Sorry for all of the threads..
Anyway, I utilize a video messaging app called "Marco Polo" fairly often. When I go to record a video, it looks like it is recording fine but when it sends it is blank and only audio is able to be heard.
I have all permissions turned on so that is not the problem.
I've saw this has happened with the Huawei P8 so maybe it has something to do with China manufacturing. There was no resolution in the other case.
Could there be a conflict somewhere blocking the camera? The camera looks pizelated. I also have the G cam software downlaoded on my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
