Well i have Yahoo Messenger and the Plug in installed, it's allowing me to make video calls, however it only shows black screen. wonder why..
is it bec. im using 2.2 only? should i update to 2.3? or should i root my phone?.. i really don't know what to do.
read something about verizon disabled the front camera or something but i dont know if thats even the issue, since even my back camera aint working, and i can't even see the other person as well who's using a laptop.
Hehehe.. hope someone can answer my question..
i will try to update to 2.3, and rooted it, even i'm not really sure the advantage of being rooted..
There is no front camera on the Fascinate. The two things on the front are a light and proximity sensor.
Don't know the answer to your question, but I wonder if the program is only set to use a front camera?

hey everyone, i usually dont post, observer is more like it. but i am having touble and i hope someone could shed some light. the first issue is with the dow kernel from tw. it wont recognize my headset as a microphone headset, only plays music, and second, ffc isn't my default camera when i use messenger, fring, or qik. it works fine, except for the low light/low banding issue, havent found anything for that yet, but i digress. those programs go automatically to my back cam, not sure what i'm doing wrong. thanks in advance for the help and just wanted to say thanks to all the devs. you guys are awesome, we would be running crappy slow phone and slaves to our networks. you guys (and gals) rock.
I recall reading some posts in the FFC thread in Development that discuss how to get programs such as fring to recognize the front camera. HTH

Okay so I downloaded Tango Video chat from the Android Market. I am running the Frx06 full package from the first posts in the Android developement thread. I tried to make a call on it and it acted like it was going to go through but when the other person answered (on an EVO), there was no sound or video. What is the problem? Has android just not advanced far enough on the Rhodium for that to happen yet? Is there any way to trick the app into thinking you have a front facing camera or does that even matter? I'd like to be able to video chat in Android on my Rhodium. Is that possible?
Assuming you have a RHOD400 you don't have a front-facing cam... so what would be the point exactly? Am I missing something?
You can use the rear cam w/ Tango, I've done it before (and the other person had an EVO too, it's just that the EVO can choose what cam they want to be seen by you, front or rear)

I do have a Rhod400. Sorry for not mentioning that before. I was able to make it work and display the video but I believe that due to the sound not working in the video camera, the sound does not work when I switch to video when using Tango. But the other person (this time on a MyTouch 4g) was able to see what my camera was doing and I was able to see them. There is no sound still though so I guess I will be waiting for the kernel that enables that.

Were you able to have sound while showing video?
thanks.
Video with sound hasn't been implemented yet for our phones. That's why you can't get it working.

Eh, not entirely true.
I've seen several people say sound on video recording works - I don't think anyone has taken a serious look at those that don't. I haven't even tried it, lol.
Seems either certain types of RHODs it works on, or perhaps there's some other combination of software installed on the phone. Again, I don't think anyone has really investigated why some phones work and some don't.

Yes, but it was pretty laggy. Maybe its because I pressed speaker, then pressed video?
Hi, all.
Was a little disheartened about my Charge to find out Samsung won't allow the camera to launch while in a phone call. I thought HTC was bad with not letting me use the FLASH in a call. But the camera altogether?? I've searched and while I found a lot of discussions, I've found no conclusions.... well, no conclusions I WANTED anyway....
Does anyone know of a way thru rooting, an app, hack, or something to stop this from happening?
Thanks...
Any intel appreciated.......
Hi
I'm on froyo 2.2 orange Uk and facing problem with Skype audio. The issue is that I can't hear the other party's voice however if I switch on the speaker the issue goes away. Looks like the problem is with the proximity sensor which blocks out the incoming voice (no problem with the mic). Also, there is no problem if I use earphones. Orange has replaced one handset because of this but not willing to support anymore. They are saying Skype is third party application.
Can someone help me please in fixing this issue.

I would contact Skype Support if I were you, possibly you should update to Gingerbread, that may help.
Rumor has it that Photon users had that issue at one point, but we are working fine on Skype.
I am a Photon User, and the Atrix is the Photon's cousin basically.
Thanks deedscreen for your reply.
I can't update to gingerbread as it is not released yet on orange Uk. Will contact Skype support and see their response. I don't expect much support for Uk customers, though.

I bought front facing camera from wholegadetparts.com.
it is Camera (Revision 2) for Samsung i9000 Galaxy S.
I followed every step correctly to install.
after installation, front camera worked perfectly but unfortunately my back camera didn't work at all, I can see only black screen.
I installed several other ICS roms but still it didn't work.
Do I miss something or is that hardware issue?
Sorry for stupid question, but ...
These cameras arrive with a protection sticker on them.
Didn't you occasionally forget to remove it?
