[Q] Any hardware hacks for front-facing camera? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just noticed that the Galaxy S is one phone that found a hack for a front facing camera. Of course it's a different device and everything, but I was wondering if there have been any tech-savvy members here to have looked into the possibility of a front facing camera for the HD2.

The HD2 doesn't have a front facing camera. How can software change that?

what are those two little circle lenses at the top of the phone... on the left of the ear / listening grid?

proximity sensor and light sensor

hardware hacks Means modding equipment physically NOT via software.

With the huge screen and as thin as the HD2 is, I doubt you could find room for a front cam. From a software perspective, it wouldn't be a huge leap. But hardware-wise, it's like trying to jump the grand canyon on a ten speed

Down side to covering the noise cancelling mic?

Looks like it is going to be awhile before the case I want is out. I can get the international version of it now. But like others have pointed out it covers the top noise cancelling mic. If I do that what exactly is that going to do?

Not much. You can also cut a hole in these cases carefully and use them if you are really concerned.

Yeah the focal point is off, it was hard to tell from the viewfinder when the picture is pretty much a black on black reflective object . I didn't want to spend the time shooting it again, but you can see the hole.

Hey, they added more colors (blue, black, and "red") were the only ones when I bought mine. That red appears to be masquerading as orange.
I'd imagine you could also accomplish something very similar with a Dremel tool and the right bit.
Or if you want the $0.10 solution, a paperclip and lighter.

Hmmm God job!
Now, when you disassemble your TG, please take picture of internal chip set because i see that a lot of people asks about internal chip code of TG.
Perhaps in that way we will progress and find some missing drivers.
i shall take pictures of my tg01 inside then and i have fixed my vibration my tg01 looks brand new is there any particular parts i need close up pictures of?

[CLOSED] No HDMI out, and no back facing camera

I was excited about this tablet, but if it doesn't have HDMI out or a rear facing camera, I'm not buying it.
I probably wouldn't use the HDMI out often, but the back facing camera, would be used.

Wrong forum, why need a rear facing camera? It's stupid for a tablet, and yes it does have HDMI.

Those things do not matter. Lack of SD Card slot does.

the Nexus Q is not a tablet... its a spherical android based computer with no screen or camera. Stupid thread.
INCORRECT. I have one in front of me (got one at the Google IO 2012 conference). It has a micro-HDMI port on the back and comes with an adapter.
Cheers!

The production models do no come with HDMI nor do they support MHL. So no tv out on this guy. Still a nice device for the money. I confirmed the lack of MHL with Tim Stevens( Editor-in-chief at Engadget) on twitter.
nexus q has a micro hdmi output port.
you're talking about the nexus7 tablet, wrong forum
This thread is 7 kinds of fail.

[Q] Lumia 920 Optical Image Stabilization Bug?

Hi guys,
I've seen a serious bug with my White AT&T 920, and I'm about to send it back as defective, but I wanted to see if anybody else was seeing this error as well.
Basically, when I'm holding down the camera-shutter button halfway to allow for focus, the Optical Image Stabilization kicks in, and the image on the screen wobbles left and right. When I press the shutter all the way, the image is far from stabilized. Most of the time, the image is caught in motion-blur. Occasionally, the image is relatively sharp, but that's pretty rare.

}
And, yes - I was holding the camera as still as I could, elbows on the table, and squeezed the shutter slowly. Images like the one above are way more common than really sharp images. I can't keep this thing if this is what I should expect. So, defective phone?
Defective. I haven't gotten a picture even close to that, ever.

Yeah I would be using the warranty and getting that fixed or taking it back for a refund/replacement. Never had a problem like that on my phone.
Wow! Something is definetly wrong friend.
Sent from my SGH-I747M
LOL! That thing is surely defected!
Replacement works great
I got the replacement from Amazonwireless today. First thing I did after powering it up was snap a picture. Crisp and clear! Thanks for the feedback, guys! Glad it was just a bad phone.:highfive:
Mine did it once after my factory reset. But the picture is not as bad as this one. Soft reset and back to normal. But the picture is not as clear and sharp as shown on those websites. Trying to replace now. Unfortunately, mine is cyan and is really hard to get a replacement.

Lens flare problem

The flare appears while taking photos of bright objects in the dark, like candles. It can ruin a photo. I've never seen a flare like this in any smartphone camera. Does anyone have the same problem?
An example:

The candle in the upper left corner should not be exhibiting this purple flare. Really annoying.

Well, that's charming. Apple simply told it's users to point the camera at a different angle.
Still, it was in 2012. I've done a brief comparison with my girlfriend's Galaxy Note 4 and seen no flare there.
I would greatly appreciate any LG V30 user's opinion on this topic. I would like to know if it's the same in every V30, or is my unit especially faulty.
I think i found the answer.
The camera seems to be very susceptible to IR light. LG is using an IR lamp to assist autofocus, so naturally the camera has to detect it easily.
It just so happens, that a candle flame is quite hot. Because of that, it emits extensive amounts of IR light. I was able to get the same effect during the day, but it is best seen using an IR remote.
Well, nothig can be done with that as it seems. Every other phone I've used wasn't that susceptible to IR light. It certainly is a novelty to me.
