I was curious to know the difference between the At&t fuze and the htc touch pro so i checked the raphael wiki here and they supplied a comparison table....
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...&id4=1362&id5=1559&id6=1363&id7=1320&id8=1547
The problem is according to the table both have a secondary camera for video call, while i noticed in the pic the fuze had none ! is this a mistake ?
Fuze has no front camera. The picture is correct. There is no need for the low quality front camera since no network in the US supports video calling. Try not to be so lazy and search next time. This has been answered about 30 times in the forum.

To me the HTC Magic looks nearly the same to the dream (minus the keyboard).
My question is, does the hardware in the G1 support video recording and is just waiting for the software to catch up, or will we be left out in the cold for video recording as more updates roll our way?
I have looked on Wiki and all over the web to find the exact hardware spec/model of the camera in the G1, but i have yet to find a truly conclusive answer.
Thank you in advance.
i followed a thread at androidcommunity for a while. someone who claimed to have accurate information stated that the g1 and g2 will have identical hartdware (sans keyboard).
i see no evidence that we will not get video recording.
Record video on the G1 now!
There is a video recording app already on the market. Its been out about 2 weeks and he has already added sound and updated it once or twice...

Yea... thats not a real Video recorder in my humble opinion. It just takes a bunch of stills and puts them together in order.
What i am hopping for is video recorded in a standardized format.
Complete noob here so maybe I've missed something glaringly obvious, but how do you make a video call with the one s? I can't find any option for it and a google search only brings up ways to do it using an app or skype. My video call time comes out of my monthly calling minutes so when I'm travelling it makes sense to use it rather than skype as I have a capped data allowance and more minutes than I need.
Thanks
when you are calling someone, check options... is there any option for video call?

Nope, nothing there to initiate a video call. And then when in call I cannot find any option to turn on the camera for a video call. I've looked and looked (before and during a call) but I can't find any option to do so.
Ok I emailed HTC and asked and their response was:
I’m sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with making a video call.
I believe that the reason for this is because the phone does not make video calls via the normal phone function. It makes video calls using 3rd party software e.G. Skype etc. But as we do not support 3rd party software I would be unable to help you set this up. I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Bit of a disappointment personally, but I suppose video calling isn't very popular so most people won't care. Still, was it really that difficult to add a video calling option/function?
But if your phone did support it, and not through a 3rd party app using internet, The receiver would also have to have the same set up right ?
And video calling isnt that popular.. Can you not speak with your provider and see if they can change the video call allowance into internet allowance instead ? Then you could use a 3rd party app like skype... Much more popular

LOL! Making phone with 2nd camera and not even bothering to add software option for video call? HAHHA Thats just lame! But I guess its for most "android" phones.

Yes, but whilst I'm no expert, most phones I have come across with front facing cameras do support video calling and more importantly the people who I would be calling have this option on their phones.
Not to worry though, not a major issue. Just seemed a bit odd to me to put a front facing camera on there and not support it without a 3rd party app. I can manage and with all the free wifi hotspots I get access to through my package it shouldn't be a big issue.
i totally agree, It is a bit stupid to have the FFC, if they wernt gunna support video calls, they could have removed the camera and added something else instead.
like a external sd slot. or a laser beam what kills people... who knows ?
I dont use video calling, I hate people looking at me im the sort of dude that walks in the shadows with a hood covering my face lol
Setup a Google Voice account and then you can do video calls to other users over Google Talk.
I was able to initiate a video call to the wife's One S using Google Talk on my Samsung Note 2 with no problem but the front camera image quality of the HTC is so bad the feature is useless. I found this thread while searching to see if others had better results. The image on the HTC is dark and grainy on the phone's own screen and is so pixilated after being transmitted to mine it totally useless , the Samsung's is crystal clear.

Fanboy maybe...of the iPhone type perhaps?
Considering they are the only mfgs to add said software.
Goggle+ works great and so does google voice which is a preinstalled app of android systems...
Which means making your post is a waste of time

The front camera isn't actually that had. You just have to try to remove some dust from it. It's terrible design to hide the camera down there, it gets full of dust in no time

2 megapixel front facing camera ain't shabby compare to other high end devices
The one x "superphone"...having a 1.3 mp....front face. Does that make it better than 2.0 without so called 720p?

Hi all.
As the title says, I have tryed to make skype calls but the image that the oter person gets from me is very greeny. On my Sensation's display it looks like it should be but at the recepient I see my self like I am being watched thru night vision devices.
Could this be a skype problem or a phone problem? outside the skype both front and back cameras are working just fine.
I don't know if it has any importance but I am on ARHD 6.6.3.
Thank you very much.

Hello lovely XDA forum.
So my big problem is when I'm recording a video my camera doesn't focus perfektly.. Watch this 2 videos than you will know what i mean. "Sorry i cant post the 2 video links because new here in this forum" It's just focusing when I manually focus it but it's always blurry when it try to autofocus. And yes I also try to reset my phone and this also doesn't work and I also go to the samsung store and all what they did was a software update and they really told me they will change the camera.. I hope someone can help me with this problem..

If they offered you to change the camera, DO IT ASAP! these camera issues once started will keep on incrementing day by day. So, either get your phone replaced or get your cam module changed! Cheers :good:

I will go again to the samsung store and I really hope they don't say anything about software!..
I love my pixel 3a, even the front camera selfies (even though it has a fixed focus). The phone takes awesome pictures, also with the front camera.
However, during video call (whatsapp or snapchat), the video quality is very very very bad. I mean like there is water in the lens or something or it just can't focus or its trying to smooth out everything till infinity. I don't get how this is possible. I know android doesn't have the best social media camera (compared to iphone, which is better optimized), but my galaxy s8 is doing whatsapp and snapchat video's just fine and in focus.
Other people have experience with this? it's really a pity, because it's the only thing i really dislike at the moment.
Any help would be appreciated.
With kind regards

Thanks for your reply Asep,
I am running the same build number as you. Yes I hope it's fixed in the next update. Have you heard other people have this problem? can't seem to find many people with this problem. I would assume many people would have this issue.

Just updated to the July patch. Unfortunately still have the same problem. I guess we're just unlucky and it's somehow a hardware issue. I can't imagine that the rest of the pixel 3a owners have the same thing but aren't bothered by it. I read on reddit of one guy who was talking about blurry front camera, but after phone was replaced the problem was gone.
I've had the same problem! My build number is QQ2A.200501.001.B2. I just got a new Pixel 3a as the last camera just died, but it was also an issue on the previous Pixel 3a as well.
Any news on this? I've found several threads on Google support sites regarding this issue but they've ve all been closed without a solution. There must be more people with this issue though and I'm not sure at the moment if this is a hardware issue or not.
Since last night we're in a serious lockdown here in the Netherlands and this is becoming a dealbreaker, cause the front camera is our most used lifeline with friends and family.
I'm on RQ1A.201205.003 and using WhatsApp for video calls.
