IseeU a front camera for phones that don't have one!

I spent like 3 hours digging threw the interwebs on a mission to find a solution for a front facing camera. Somehow I stumbled upon a korean product called IseeU.

The creator says it works on all mobile phones and looking at the g2 it looks like it would work fine. Has anyone tried it?

I've seen the vaneworks, and the onemoreface, now there's this one. Nice find. I haven't tried any of these, but they all will have the same issue (in varying degrees) with the g2. It is best explained on the compatability page of the vaneworks product. The g2 camera is a little far from the edges of the phone, so you may not get a full image.
Also, supposedly, the light is low when using smaller mirrors.
Hopefully someone will try these products and post back.

i can verify that the vainworks stand works for g2. camera is only a bit off. in camera mode...you see a little of your phone...but i can verify in video chat via tango...it just fit. i mean...i see like a 10th of an inch of my phone. cant even notice. landscape is a bit of a hassle though as the camera is more towards the middle rather than top heavy. its ok though. my girls hd2 can only do lanscape cuz her phone is right in center with regards to either edge of the phone.
also, is there a catch to this iseeu? catch.. such as camera position like the vainworks stand has? will it work with all cameras no matter what location it is on phone? it must be adjustable.

From the videos I've seen its very adjustable

@havikx:
Can you post self portrait pics taken on G2/vainworks in portrait and landscape? (see vain works compatability page for examples http://vainworks.com/compatibility-chart/). (maybe post on the vain works thread)
On the adaptability factor for all of these products, if the mirrors are "over the top" of the phone (instead of "around the side") then you will be upside down. Not sure which apps have the setting to flip the image...

i will if i can get around to it. actual performance is based on video call. i know the camera app shows a little more of the phone depending on resolution settings.
my girl uses Tango for video calling on her HD2. she has a button that supposed to flip which camera is displaying. being she only has one camera...what does this button do? flip the image.

Yes, it flips the image. I just tested this. I have 2 hd2's and tangoed between them and could flip the image sent to the other phone with that button.

Wow just got it and its a total rip off lol. I won't bother making a video it sucks so bad.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

it looks good but yeah i doubt you can get the full image of the camera as it is lower down

With such tiny little mirrors doesn't really seem like it could capture the full image, and what a pain to use, I imagine you would have to detach it to carry it around or use the keyboard?
But also seems like someone confirmed it doesn't work. Novel Idea

Hey everyone
just switched from HTCs sprint evo to Verizon droid charge. Was wondering, what happened to gif animations? My evo did this flawlessly. I can't see how my phone can render movies, games, hack other computers, change the channel on the tv, etc. But can't animate a gif in the browser?
If anyone can tell me a tweak or a Rom that does this, im all ears.
Also, could someone manage to get a still of the boot animation to use as wallpaper?
Thanks in advance! .

Have you tried a different browser?

I'm using opera mobile and I can view gifs just fine.

Dolphin works fine.
Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1

It works on FireFox.

different browser is your best bet for online .gifs, I use quickpic in place of the stock gallery and it has no trouble playing saved ones... as for the boot animation as a live wallpaper it hasn't been done yet, doesn't mean it can't be its just that its hard to take samsung's special .qmg file and make it into anything usable

Thanks for the replies. Firefox is working fine. Was hoping to get gif animations, user agent options, and flash all in the same browser. I guess i was spoiled with my EVO.

Thanks for the input on the boot animation. You mentioned the live wallpaper. How about just a still of it? Id probably be happy with someone taking a picture of it and photocopying it into something presentable.

its still hard to do as it can't be screenshot (unless you mean taking a pic of the phone screen with another phone/camera which may work but won't be too high quality I think) and can't be made into any kind of usable .gif or video due to the retarded proprietary .qmg animation file... I bet a dev or someone with more android knowledge may be able to do something with it but no luck so far, even the mighty google has failed in turning up anything usable lol
let me take a stab at maybe getting a still shot of it

i researched further: .qmg files are proprietary to samsung and cannot be opened, edited, or played unless you work for samsung and have access to the source used to make the .qmg... this means our only options are to screenshot it to get either a picture or a video, but as I said it will not be too high quality
edit: no luck trying to get a picture with a camera, it just looks like crap... I can only think of two options, maybe finding a high quality video of it online and using that to make something or possibly connecting it to an HDTV and maybe getting a screen cap that way

Np.. Hope something works, I'd love that as a live wallpaper or hell even a pic for a background. It's been worked on and many people want it, so hopefully someone can do something
I was thinking too that since obviously the phone can run/play those kind of files, I wondered if there was a way to get it to play it while the phone's on to maybe get it that way
edit: also kinda sorta found it here in the VZ commercial for it:

if anyone's good with video editing maybe you can grab it from there, about 23 seconds in

[Q] camera quality? Want to buy today online

Hey guys. Tmo has this phone online for free, but the web only offer ends today. I'd like to buy it, but just need to know about the camera quality to replace our recently lost camera. My wife will only let me get it if I assure her we won't have to buy a separate camera. This would be our first android phones, though I have an Acer iconia a500 tablet.
How is the picture quality? Is it slow to snap like some of the honeycomb tablets? Does it have a flash?
How is the video capture quality?
Can someone post a sample picture and video clip here?
As I said, the free web offer ends today, so if the camera quality is good, I want to order them tonight.
Thanks,
EB
PS. Is music playing quality good too? My wife will be using it to replace her mp3 player that just died.

What phone? Did you read the specs? Most any phone with a 5mp+ camera should take really nice photos.

Sorry. The t-mobile g2x. Isn't this the correct forum for that phone?
The cnet review said the picture quality didn't meet their standards. Guess I'm looking for confirmation.
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk

An 8mp camera should give you great pictures, and it records 1080p video. You can always use 3rd party camera apps too. Sounds like a good deal if they are free, imo.
Sent from my CM7 Defy using XDA App

Th G2x camera is pretty disappointing. There are a number of threads around here discussing the issue. I don't think you should choose this phone if the camera is a real priority.
Music playing is excellent, better than most.

Thanks for the info.. I was just about to order them online, but like the saying goes.. they screw you in the drive-thru.
I was thinking the Free web-offer (exp today) with the 49.99/line for 2 lines plan was an awsome deal. However, it seems you can't get that plan online, only in the stores, and you can't get the free web offer in the store..

If want to get a new phone, the way I've found is to go and look in a store. Use one, play with it, move on to the next. Try them all if needed. Then if you can find a better deal for the one you want online, you know exactly which one to order.

LOVE my g2x camera, it's amazing. (with the back cover off, lol)
But a few modifications to the battery cover fixed that 3:-}

For what its worth consumer reports actually rated the G2X as having the best smartphone camera.
http://pressroom.consumerreports.or...-match-stand-alone-devices-in-many-respe.html
Mine takes fantastic photos. Haven't done much with videos but the still shots are awesome considering they were taken WITH A PHONE!!! Lol
Here are a couple I've taken with mine. The 2 cloud photos were taken with my G2X and then edited on the phone with Picsay Pro.

Nice shots!
I wonder if Consumer Reports still feels the same way after the GB update.
I'm not trying to bash the phone here, I honestly think the G2x camera is flawed. On mine every still photo is kind of blurry or soft focused, and with an overall hazy tint. Video at both 1080 and 720 suffers from obvious block pixelization, the more motion in the scene the worse the image appears. I have tried cleaning the glass on both sides of my cover and observed very little difference in still images.
If I'm not mistaken there was at least one thread here where this was discussed. Also, the consensus from those who have both seems to be that the Sensation has many flaws, but it's camera provides superior images to the G2x's.
ETA:It looks like I have grease or something on the lens in this video, but I didn't. I must confess I don't remeber if I was using the GB OTA camera or the 1.5 LG cam from this forum. I can say I haven't seen any better video out of my phone since I got it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNyepSKmyuI

I've been telling people this for years - remove that glass on the battery cover! Its like a dirt magnet. Never understood why you would put glass over a camera lens... I'm using an exented battery without the camera lens glass cover. The pictures are night and day.

Yea I have to agree with you here. The camera app in Froyo was very nice and very useful at the same time. Too bad they didn't support it with their gingerbread release. Granted the camera app in 2.3.3 is more in line with their marketing the phone as vanilla android, but it does feel like they removed a feature, or at least downgraded it.

New AT&T Atrix 2 User.

Hi! I just bought yesterday an Unlocked Atrix 2 from AT&T, it came with Android 2.3.6 (55.13.25.MB865,ATT.en.US) Pure stock, not rooted, brand new.. My question is.. What should i know about this device? Is it Getting an official OTA of ICS soon? I don't want to root it yet, i'd like to receive official ICS Update via OTA, then root and play with it. I'm in argentina, and sometime while surfing the web with 4G i lose network connection and reconnects itself after a few secs, someone has experienced that? The Screen is a little yellowish all over white colours, normal too or what? Thanks A2 Users!

Hi. And, welcome to the community..
It's a good device, but it has a locked bootloader which prevents us from installing truly custom roms or custom kernels. But, as you will notice, the guys around here can do some pretty cool stuff with what limited capabilities we've got. (The unlock you are referring to is the subsidy unlock for different carriers, I assume).
Yes, depending on your definition of soon, the official ICS is coming soon-ish (my guess is august for the at&t us builds). And simply rooting, should have no impact on receiving or installing the official ota update - it's the other stuff you do with root that screws up the install of the ota - but we have ways to fix up your system for the ota..
Never been to Argentina, but I have experienced bad data connections depending where I'm at.
The yellowish color is not normal. At least mine doesn't look yellow. And since yours came stock 2.3.6 (most come 2.3.5 out of the box), and it's sim is unlocked, so it may be refurbished or slightly used.. not sure what causes the yellow.. do you have a screen guard that discolors it?
Hope that helps. Good luck with everything.

I've never noticed a "yellow" tint, but I do have some darkish blotches in the center of where my keyboard would appear that may be from mashing the screen too hard while angry texting crazy girls...

Wow! So many replies in just Minutes.. Thanks a lot, i feel confortable asking here now. First of all its Sim Unlocked, you can use it with any carrier. About "Yellowish" tint all over, is hard to tell when it is noticeable, for example, when you surf in Google Play, while loads the screen of a selected app, you can see the background the yellowish tint is a bit noticeable, also in Wifi settings and others, but colors in photos and everything is perfectly normal.. Probably i'm a bit daltonic or paranoid. I'm happy to know that our phone will have ICS in August, i think the wait will worth, i saw Droid Razr running ICS and, OMG so smooth, so perfect..! The only i complain about is about the stock browser, wich provides a laggy experience -.- but overall performance is good! I like the build quality, its a very good looking phone, looks very professional and feels like a premium phone. Not like the cheap plastics Samsung GS2 i own, it feels like a toy compared to A2! I'm uploading photos of the phone right now.

I agree, it feels like a good quality piece of hardware. Oh, and August was just my guess, the official word from Moto is Quarter 3, which goes until like late September I think.. so who actually knows..
As for browsers, yup, the stock GB browser is horrible in my opinion also.. I'm sticking with Boat Browser - keeps getting updates and getting better. Also, Firefox is available for GB, and for ICS, you can get Chrome (but it's still pretty bare bones - plus the stock ics browser uses chrome parts I believe..). Just try a few out, and you'll find a nice replacement browser...

I noticed it instantly the first time i turned it on, i'm getting used to this anyways. It wasn't confortable at first.. Thought it could be a defect.

First off.. WELCOME! The A2 is a great phone and I hope you're happy with it
We have plenty of great devs here that make amazing things happen for this phone.
ALSO if you really don't like the yellowish tint try this:

[APP] Locket Get paid while you unlock your phone

So today this app called Locket was just released. Basically it pays you about 1 penny sometimes more for each ad. The ads are not really annoying like those push notifications. How it displays is when you wake up your phone and then it's there on the lock screen. From what i see it's pretty much like deals and big brand names. Check it out, if you're like me you unlock your phone A LOT throughout the day lol. Oh and the best part is you don't have to actually visit the ad since it's already paying you for displaying it on your phone.
Here's the link shortened

Can someone please post the .apk? I'm writing from Iceland...

Is anyone else having it not count for every unlock or just count every once and a while?

It seems to be set to allow you to earn a penny a few times in a specific time period then a wait for a specific time period is set for it to stop displaying 1 penny when that time is up you are able to receive a few cents until you do so many times within a set time then it just loops

3 cents per hour. Pays out in PayPal at the moment, but in future updates, it might be Amazon/Google Play cards (My guess anyway).
They're thinking of other ways to display ads, so far they're saying that they don't want to go the notifications route.
I've made $0.56 so far. They said they give out bonuses sometimes too. I think I already got a $0.10 one.
Here is my ref.

Oh, and US only at the moment.

Well hot digity dog.... I can quit my day job!!!
If this is legit I doubt it will last long nor will anyone make much money.I am sure there is a limit on the unlocks per day and not worth it.
Next here comes the guy who makes an app where your lockscreen blinks on and off constantly......See where all this is going???,,,,,,wont be going very far thats for sure. Save yourself some time and move on, most likely a scam anyways.
EDIT: Well I will eat my words, I guess its legit. You just need an app to unlock your phone screen three times per hour , 24 hours a day to make $262.80 over the course of a year,

I hope it will be released on worldwide.. it not available in my country yet.. this will be awesome when it comes out in worldwide.
Ps.. there is a whaff that could pay you when you download/watch ads on there app

They've already said that they can easy oust people for trying to sign up multiple times. And obviously, they also have your IP address among other stuff. I am a part of so many survey groups and stuff. They aren't going to catch you right away, but they're going to hit you the MOMENT you try and cash out.
They can do it the way AT&T does it... They can see whether or not you have a tethering app by just having one of their apps installed. Hence a lot of people get caught tethering sooner or later by just having the myAT&T app installed. These guys can tell whether you have Tasker or similar installed and if it's running.

Need locket-beta apk file
Hey guys,
I'm from India and I'd love to try this app. I've tried changing my Billing address in Google Wallet to be able to download this app but I still cannot. I'm now being charged in USD for purchases instead of INR but this app still shows as incompatible with any of my devices. Also, I've tried using Market Enabler but that hasn't worked either. Can someone upload the apk for me please?
Thanks,
Mahesh
Nevermind, I just found it on another thread. Just in case someone else needs it. It's here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43800419

Just installed it on my N7.
Seems to work so far, but haven't tried to withdraw any cash yet!
Didn't have to do any VPN or market enabling. As long as you know a genuine US zip code, I reckon it will let you sign up, and they are easy enough to find.

Seriously?
"This app is incompatible with your device." I have a LG Optimus 4X on stock JB in UK. WTF?
