Is there a webcam app on the platform yet?

Anyone came across one? I'm hoping to either buy one tomorrow but if there is one for Android I'd much rather save my cash..
Thanks

i want this also, would be very handy.

We don't even have a working video camera yet, so this isn't very likely until some time much farther down the road, if ever.

im sorry to say, but there is a video camera app out there in beta stages(crappy but good) it has some errors and what not..
in order to make a web cam app you dont have to have a video camera app installed on the g1, video capturing image is already enabled on the phone, just someone has to make an app for it. to make a webcam app you would have to make your own video capturing system, or use an existing one if you code it right, some where some how some one will do it, just takes time :'(

Doesn't the vid cam app thats out now record video in motion jpeg?

Are you thinking you'd connect your phone to a PC and use it as a webcam? Surely we are not talking about using this on the phone, otherwise you'd have to turn the phone around every second to type, view the other persons video, etc...
That being said, the ADT Plugin For Eclipse adds Screenshot Capability to Eclipse... Might be some way to adapt that into a video feed? Although, this would then be more of a PC driver request than an Android app request...

use your windows mobile as a webcam
Its free and simple....
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler

Are you HIGH or just spamming? We are talking Android here, what does Windows Mobile apps have to do with it? The last I've check there was no WINE 4 Android...

This would be the purpose I would want to use it for. Granted webcams are cheap these days so i'm not sure it is really all that practical.

Probably not but might be cool nonetheless.

The idea

I am not high or abusing your eyes. Maybe you can read between the lines and use my example as you wish.
Or is there maybe no camera option on a Android phone ?? I don't know anything about googles attempt to make something for a pda/phone.
Or is there no software available to remote control the phone. Or is it the lack of applications for Android ??? Ok you mentioned WINE...It seems you are waiting for windows emulation on Android because there is actualy more software available for Windows Mobile ???
Anyway if your are able to display your camera on a Windows screen you can capture it with the VH screencapture and use the stream for skype etc...

You people need to upgrade to one of the Builds of 1.5, so you can use Camcorder (the google cam recorder).

Some videos don't play

Hi,
I have a problem. Some kind of videos from internet just dont play. Some play like 1 sec and then stops. Other kind of videos just play well. This happens in facebook browser, chrome and also one cinema app that i have installed. Tried to install firefox and the videos play well.
This happens in an xperia z3c D5803 lollipop 23.1.A.1.28 with xpoded.
Can anyone help me figure out whats the problem and how to fix it. It's a little bit anoying to wait to get in the pc to see some videos.
PS: Already tried to disable all xposed modules and the problem still there.

See if it helps to disable "Use NuPlayer (exp.)" in developer options, I noticed it's enabled by default in Lollipop but since it's experimental, maybe it can cause issues?

i have that option disabled. just enabled and the videos in the cinema app just are working fine. the ones in the FB browser and Chrome still stops. (i just figured that in Chrome if i ask the pc page, the videos work fine).

You could try UC Browser, in my experience it has the widest support for webvideos and the player it uses is quite advanced, too.

I know that I have alternatives. I am just trying to figure out what is the problem to try to solve it. Cause in other phones I don't face this problem

Desktop mode; apps that work well, apps that don't and bugs

I've been playing around with desktop mode quite a bit and overall it seems to be a good idea. With the exception of TeamViewer I could move my entire business day over to it quite easily. I'm using an Inapio hub and keyboard / mouse combo with a usb dongle.
Apps that I've found work well with it are:
1. All of the Microsoft apps. I mainly use the Outlook app and Microsoft Edge and have no complaints about either of them.
2. Enpass and Lastpass.
3. Most if not all of my banking apps work well.
Apps that don't work well:
1. Quite a few games. Some of the games that require taps don't recognise mouse clicks. Risk is one I can think of straight away.
2. TeamViewer (app-specific problem as it doesn't support remote desktop scaling from the Android app).
Bugs / annoyances I've found:
1. Quite often when clicking on buttons in browsers, email and other apps I have to click slightly off-centre to the left and below the button before the click is recognised.
2. When deleting the built-in apps from the desktop the rest of the icons don't auto-rearrange.
3. No auto-rearrange of icons.
4. Lacking a slideshow for the desktop background.
Do you use desktop mode and how do you find it?

How is performance and input lag? Is it smooth?

I couldn't get see Gmail. Which is a bummer since we use g-suite at work....
Apart from that it worked very well. My monitor has the most and keyboard plugged into it and the video about is a USB-C cable. When plugged into this the desktop is very well integrated with the most and keyboard working fine and the phone charging via the video cable as well. But as I said, no Gmail...

@Riio Performance is very good with no lag.
@palexr Yes, a bit odd that the gmail app isn't listed under the start menu. I think it must be about the only one that doesn't show up there. You could always use gsuite via a web browser?
One type of app that works well in desktop mode but not in phone mode is SIP / VOIP clients. I use Bria but have also tested Zoiper and both app stop running under the lockscreen; even with "ignore battery optimisation" enabled and yet Skype works perfectly.

Gmail app icon does not appear in the desktop, but if you receive Gmail notification and you click on it, Gmail will load. What I did was to pin to Task bar and now I have it in desktop. So all you have to do is to wait patiently for the notifications of your favourite apps to appear on the desktop.

Thanks, yes that worked - to a degree. I can open Gmail from the notifications and then pin it to the Task Bar as you say. However, clicking on the resultant icon will only open my private email and not my work one. However, if I get a work email, I get a notification which I can open and access my work emails - pinning that to the task bar will only open my private gmail.
So, yep it works, just need to send my work email an email.
Thanks.

What determines whether an app icon will appear or not in desktop mode ?
I tried it but could not find YouTube app for example in Desktop mode ? So how do I trigger other apps not shown in Desktop mode ?

What triggers the DPI used on an external screen? I have two screens - one 23 Dell monitor and one 23 Samsung SyncMaster TV/Monitor. Both support 1920x1080 however when I connect HM10P to a Samsung Screen I noticed the DPI is much lower than on the Dell one (same resolution).

Anyone know if there is a list of supported app in desktop mode, or some specific flag/tag to search for in Play Store. I'm interested also into Visio replacement and some PDF editors but can't understand what to search for.
I didn't understand if this mode is valid only for EMUI desktop (so that developers need to change their app to work specifically on EMUI) or a general Android optimization.

I found a way to add any app, though not all work properly.. Prime video for example, it loads, but video playback is just a black box..
Use another launcher (I used Nova), and open that launcher in desktop mode. Nova looks broken, but don't worry.. Double click (left mouse) on the blank home screen and app search opens.. Find your desired app, open it, then pin it to the bottom bar..
Enjoy

When using PC Mode is there a way to force fullscreen for 3rd Party apps.
I use the Huawei standard video player which is always fullscreen but for some videos there is no sound so I use VLC or MX Player. Cant seem to get rid of the taskbar below when using the other apps.

Same issue, a bit annoying, but nearly full screen.. Chrome won't go full screen in videos either, nor any other non stock video player I've tried..

Dang. Was hoping it was something I was not doing.
Emailed their support requesting they add this. Hopefully they enable with a software update.

This is what bothers me, I've been using terrarium app a lot lately, and casting my screen to our tv works just fine but since its using wireless connection, image quality is somehow affected and also the auto motion plus wont work, movements arent that smooth(was accustomed to 60fps). Tried using the desktop mode and image quality did improve and the auto motion plus now works but movies on mxplayer is not going on full screen.

Autocad mate 10 desktop mode
Someone can tell me if autocad app runs with desktop mode on mate 10?

Tested yesterday the Easy Projection mode, a huge disappointment from my expectations to get rid of my Windows laptop.
The Microsoft Suite is barely usable, the documents are resizing correctly but Word, Excel, PowerPoint features are just a ghost of the rich applications I have on the laptop. Also the UI is clumsy with commands to be accessed in weird way.
Also the user experience is far from productive, with the right button click doing the function of the left button, no point and drag, no changing apps position in folders.
Dropbox app, files app etc are just a stretched version of the mobile one with a lot of empty space.
The only well functioning is web browsing, so I suppose relying on Google Docs will be fine.
Want to ask if does someone else have this problems, maybe need I to do some setup.

My desktop test
Today I tested the desktop mode.
I was quite amazed about what I saw.
A few things I did not like:
-citrix receiver did not work well
-rdp connections did not go well
-no VoIP apps possible because the user that is activated has no rights to the phone options.
I am looking for the possibility to change some settings for the desktop mode. I can't find the application "desktop mode" to elavate the rights.
Also the edges for the chrome browser are not as good as we would like to see. I will subscribe to the fora for the Huawei desktop mode to see if I can learn. Something there.
If anyone has tips for me please advise me.

i have problems with VLC, it works fine but playback controls dont appear on screen.
Perfect with stock video player but no audio in some videos
I use MX player, working 100% great
The three are full screen support, to do it go to the icon on the task bar and left button, then enable it.

Just wondering with the P20 series released, updated EMUI 8.1 have there been any improvements in desktop mode compared to the mate 10?

anyone know how to have desktop mode auto-launch when cable is plugged in, rather than having to choose desktop mode from status bar?

HELP: need method for playing multiple videos in Playlists on Lumia WP ?

I have a couple Lumia Windows Phones 8.1 that I enjoy using strictly as an MP3/Music Player. The reason I like LumiaWP is that XboxMusic is the only App I know of which can shuffle thousands of songs without repeating any. I wish I could play videos through XboxMusic too!
currently I am stuck with using the XboxVideo App for playing videos, but the problem is that XboxVideo will only play 1 video at a time (i cant find any auto-play). Everytime a video ends the phone goes back to the menu instead of continuously playing the next video, forcing me to manually select play for each video. This is really annoying and defeats the purpose of why I like this phone
A few months ago I tried installing VLCplayer on my LumiaWP but it didnt work, and now I heard the Windows Store has been shutdown Im trying to figure out how to install the App manually? I found a guide to install XAP files, but it seems that guide no longer works without the actual Store... does anybody know how I can install VLC on my LumiaWP? or any other video player? I tried downloading the VLC .APPX files (i think?) and put them on my SD card but it doesnt seem like anything happened, seems like most sites link to the windows store which obviously doesnt work
Please tell me there is a way to setup a Video Playlist without having to buy a new phone? :angel:
Thanks!

You can install appx directly from device. You just put file in storage and tap "Install" at File Explorer.

I feel like such a newb for not having these things installed before I cant believe my win8 phone doesnt have a file manager lolz
I had an older Lumia Windows Phone for many years and I purchased 2 newer last year, and I unfortunately didnt hear about the Windows Store shutting down until just recently!
I really like these as media players, and luckily one of my newer ones works with Win10, but I still want to try and setup the other one I have (which is still on 8.1) I dont think I can update my older one to Win10, but thats not a big deal if I can find another way to install the File Explorer
Will setting up interlope help me get files installed? I never hacked a phone before, but I'm certainly going to try! Hopefully I can find the time to read more into the instructions later this weekend :good: or... is it not possible without the file app? its a lumia925
Thanks
