Microsoft Portrait
i have tried it with both tytn and tytnII and no luck, i didnt invest alot of time and got busy with life.. but i never got it to work.. im sure if someone actually devoted some time to it that it could possibly work..
thanks for your response
anyone else
i just got the chatting and talking to work but no camera even with a regular smartphone. has someone tried it with the wizard(mine does not work the camera)
A little old, but i'm looking for a video-conference software via wifi/activesync.
MS portrait doesn't recognize my Kaiser's cameras, but it's perfect in my Blue-Angel... But i don't use my BA anymore...
Is there any developer here interested in video capabilities of our devices ?
It can do almost everything, but I can't find a video-conferencing software, even with two cameras onboard...

Because there aren't. See my TiVi review posted about a month ago. Unfortunately, you'll need to use another platform (for example, Symbian or a tablet PC) if you do need video calling over IP.
Well... I'm really shocked that nobody in winmo's world is interested in developing a videoconferencing software via wifi... i'd do it if i could...
Portrait is a very good start, but we need something working with newer CPUs...

its was a while since i had posted this that i had run across this app, but even still now after a while from this being posted i have not seen anything like this, i would like to see it work on my XDA Flame b/c i dont have my wizard anymore(friend has it)........its a good idea but it seems now that this has to turn into a much bigger app, in the meaning of having more features and to be updated to be used in the other pc apps other then just the old msn messenger

As I stated: it's impossible to develop a video conferencing app compatible with all handsets. Also see http://msmobiles.com/f/viewtopic.php?t=20292 for more info on this linked from my latest Misc News ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400931 ).

Portrait on the Trinity
I travel a lot and so I tried setting this up on my Trinity and my wife's laptop. Running in the house via wifi worked. However, there was so much lag as to be unusable. Good luck. I hope someone has a new app for this. (Skype, hopefully).
TYTN I
I would like to see it work too-bought my directly from HTC & and a flyer was on top of the phone with a note saying the video camera was DISABLED!!

I was wondering,
do you think it is possible to add a front camera to the fuze?
Not worth it if you ask me, i'm sure it could be done with a lot of headaches
But really, the AT&T keyboard just ticks me off (What happened to the tab key and the control key????)
Just buy a Touch pro and sell the fuze, thats what i'm planning to do
Camera
The european version had a front and back camera.
I'm not sure why you would do that. Video calling isn't supported by any of the carriers (unless I'm mistaken). But if you want one to use as a webcam, then I see where it's going.

This. I have an EDGE touch pro because I bought the euro one.. not too bad for me since I dont do much that absolutely requires a 3g connection but it'd be nice to have...
trust me, stick with the FUZE
Video calling is supported via internet though and a front camera would have been a great addition.
att supports video calls, and you can use the regular camera as a webcam so theres no need for the front facing camera.

I have the European Touch Pro with the front camera, and can't find any software that allows me to use it (except the "Camera" program that came with it).
Also, I can't do 3G, and I think that's something you'd use more often.
Is there any camera application which can enable (auto or manual) focus settings? Anybody knows something about it?
The focus function is a hardware function, so its not limited by missing drivers/software.
That function is not available on the Mega and cannot be enabled.
Thank you
I too would like this and the ability to map the button to one of the volume keys. seriously i love my Touch 2 but even cheap phones have a better camera...
Am afraid you have to live with it....search XDA for "camera settings" and than you will see a fair number of articles which give some improvements (have read most of them) but in general HTC is not strong with camera's.......
I found an app called +Que Camera 4.0 for HTC phones but it wont install on the touch2, oh well. I can cope with a crappy camera, i guess....

Where did you find? Can you share?
Thanks
http://winmo.techparaiso.com/applications-tools/multimedia/camera-app-4-0/
Thanks...., did not test the application (yet)....is kinda big. But from reading I learn that this does not improve the camera itself but you can more easily change settings and add some options like sports mode etc.....these can be changed aswell with "diamond tweak" , "advanced configuration tools" or "SK tools" etc.
Built in Camera
You can the magnifier button to zoom in & out while using the camera. It is not very useful, doesn't give much zoom but works.
Yes, Camera App 4.0 QVGA can not be installed in hTC Touch2. I tried it in several times and failed. I also looking for other way to improve camera because I am using "Penpower WorldCard Mobile". Touch2 Camera could not provide clear picture for recognition. Does anyone have improvement?

On XDA there are several threads on getting the max out of your camera by changing settings....search and try..but much improvement you will not get...

yes i do want to buy a device with a good flash and autofocus ... Mega is super nice and fast with programs but lacks on camera ... i'm on a crossway between ""Mind the gap !-> ht tp://www.gsmarena.com/lg_kc780-2542.php
and the ""Mind the gap !-> ht tp://www.gsmarena.com/lg_ku990_viewty-2070.php the price isnt that different
and umm about the HTC Mega cam ... anything new ?!
Ok mate, have fun and sent me a PM about your camera experiences.....
Camera App doesn't work
for better photos the best way is editing them with resco photo viewer or(and) spb imageer. don't try the impossible to take better photos with low quality cameras instead editing with propper tools. this is the best way.
no use even if u got focus cam is too ****ty to use , just buy a propa , panasonic or sony camm and enjoy ...
Is it possible to use the rear facing camera for video calling with Fring or Skype on this phone? I had thought it came with a front facing camera as well but I was mistaken. My girlfriend wants the iPhone but needs video chat to keep in touch with me and Im trying to steer her away from the iPhone... Input appreciated, thank you.
I am currently using Tango to do video chat with the Inspire. It works with the rear camera. Sound isn't very good though on 3g. My wife says that the video from my end is fine on her Cappy. And Tango is free.

Now that Skype (2.0) supports video calling, but is only limited to a handful of models, can someone hack it so that video can be used on other models, not only those with front-facing cameras, but also with only back-facing ones...?

+1 i was thinking at the same things!
yeah, i know us operators, and worldwide operators, are mostly worried about their bottomlines... but hey, at lesat let us do it under wifi, okay, okay???
p.s. and even back-facing camera can make use of... uh... a mirror...
Would this work on a non root phone?

This seems to have a link to hack.
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/06/skype-for-android-hacked/ (link to http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/skype045.php)
It seems to be signed with different key, so you must uninstall your Skype first.
If you try it, post results with your device model.
Won't sign in, HTC Legend, MDPI, no front camera. Oh well, was worth a try, considering MY specs.
