I just wondering Is there way to fix a front camera to at & t fuze using any hardware changing
Yes. There is. But no point. You would need the following:
OEM Fuze molded front cover of touch pro to see the front camera. (Or be ghetto and cut a hole through your front cover)
OEM VGA camera used in the touch pro
Like every other HTC phone, the front camera disabled phones have a socket for the front camera, but there is no camera. If you could find a dead touch pro that someone is selling for parts, buy the camera and it's possible. I don't know how to enable it software wise though.
Why in the world would they remove the front camera anyway? Does it really cost that much more for the front camera?

Pick 2 of the below:
1. It cuts them a little cost
2. AT&T doesn't support video calling so no point
3. Because they wanted to?
but At & T has one way live video sharing
I always see a few of these posts come up but i always also hear how video calling isn't as popular as we'd like. It's not implemented in the US even though they could have and where it is available it's still partially a flop.
Remove it i say!
I think the video calling its not popular in us, any us wireless company doesn't offer video calling and I would say video sharing is not popular either in us. Even thought someone traveling all round the world it might be very impotent. Specially, if they would offer international video calling.
so I'm saying keep this thread
Because,somebody who wants video calling can use this thread as help to enable video calling. Specially European and Asian they can use FUZE as global roaming phone with 3G coz touch pro doesn't have all HSDPA/WCDMA 850/900/2100/1900 MHz and keep their video calling.
as example like our member kraize he can use 3g feature in usa and go to India and use video calling and my self too
Confrencing
Hey Guys I own a Unbranded Tytn II Dual Camera And a Htc Fuse The us Wont see Video Confrencing Untill late 09 2010 But I posted a App on Xda Called Ivisit Just becuase no Us network Supports it Don't mean it can't Work Go to www.ivisit.com it is Full live Video Confrencing for Windows mobile And Mac/Pc And it Works Great If you only have one Camera it will be hard to keep turning the phone around unlike me with my Tytn II But Hey it's Still Real Confrencing ...So Check out Ivisit And yea Att wan'ts to Cut Cost if a Front Camera is not Needed
WTF? the FUZE has a front video camera?
where have i been?
Can we use tytn II front cam for Htc fuze I have seen they selling kaiser front cam on eBay can anybody find out is that work and if it is work then we have the front cam driver also i think
I like ivisit its awesome it is the best solution for the video calling problem in US

sorry but i gotta correct u on that ..
last week i went to a seminar for marketing directors in washington d.c, and i was able to do the whole "video call" with my wife and daughter when it was time for my daughter to go to bed.
worked OK..not perfect but it got the job done.

I believe Kraze is talking about 2 way video calling which is why the non-US versions of TP have the front facing camera.

Yeah. I was talking about 2 way conferencing. and did you just video call from dialer? Or did you use 3rd party software?
If you want to go the other way, AT&T B2B sells a version of the Fuze with both cameras removed
Just a carry a pocket mirror!
Just carry a pocket mirror and have the mirror reflect your phone screen image. You can see the person at the other end this way on the mirror. Low tech solution to a hitech problem
I wonder why AT & T do not offer two way video calling. Can some one tell me Why is this at & t do not offer 2way video calling. I think whole Europe & Asia has two way video calling
There is a point
Although ATT or any other US wireless carrier may not support video conferencing, you can always use the vga camera for skype mobile, or any other reason people use a camera on themselves. People like to take pics of themselves for whatever reason, facebook, myspace, etc. , but it is a piece of hardware that makes the phone so popular, I think. Thats just me, I dont know how anybody else feels about that.

No, you can't.
i have an idea why not just wait until an actual two way conferencing phone comes out in the US. Its a good concept but i would rather have it come with the phone instead of rigging it that way
New HTC Touch Pro
Hi guys, i have a new touch pro "GSM" and made a rom update with energy rom 3.0, I am not able to make video calls or receive any. Can any 1 tell me a way to do this...... My GSM Network supports Video calls
not sure if theirs some restrictions, but just curious why their arent any apps that support video chat with google video. I know only 2 phones in the us (evo and epic) have front cameras and both on same carrier. but Id love to see an app like this.

I don't see the point with fringe and Qik.
... and the Iphone has a front camera too, right?
well first I know alot of people that use google video but not on their phone since the phone they have doesnt support it. Plus everyone already has a google account with an android phone. Plus it'll just better interconnect the whole google/google talk experience.
I am torn between these two, and I have no idea which to pick. I do see the Play only has a VGA FFC, and the Droid Inc 2 has a 1.3Mp FFC, which I would like to know, would you really see a difference in video quality between the two?? That is a big thing for me.
Please help!
Thanks.
If you're looking for a device to play games and emulators with, the Play all the way.

The Droid Incredible 2 has the better camera for video chat and whatever else you would use a front facing cam for. I would only go with the Xperia Play if you're a big gamer but if not I would stick with HTC Droid Incredible 2...even if neither have 4G support
You dont seem to care about 4g data?
4g is needed for smooth video chat!
Unless your on wifi.

Here are the facts: The Play is the ONLY phone (at least, the only recent phone from a well-known manufacturer) that features a gamepad. IF you want to play games on your phone, the Play is the only way to go. Yes, it does not have the best camera and SE kind of jips you on the internal memory, but if you want a gaming device, the Play is your only serious option. Even though I bricked mine the other day (note, if you are going to unlock the bootloader on the Play, DO NOT upgrade the firmware-- you will brick your phone. Even after unbricking, your phone's radio will not work and you will not be able to make calls), I can say that up until the bricking happened, the phone was great. My only complaint was that I had to be somewhat selective about the apps I had on my phone to avoid wasting memory.
Now, if you want a phone that probably does everything really well except play games, stick to the Droid.
I've been an Android user for the best part of 5 years, seeing a steady improvement of OS and supporting apps. While the Galaxy Range has got better and better.
I'm currently using a Galaxy S4, but for whatever reason i'm being drawn towards the Nokia Lumia 1020. My partner wants one because "it's a Nokia" while I'm interested because of the Camera. I'm a DSLR user so this isn't for instagramin' me breakfast, it's to capture great photos at concerts and videos and general stuff which I plan to blog up. My other reasoning is I'm very fond of my Surface Pro, which is again a Windows device and I can't put it down, so am I mad? Will having a Windows phone have any real benefit with a Surface?
My greatest concern is the store that is less than lacking from my initial research with what i'd call basic apps are missing, youtube, twitter to name but a few. This concerns me, but being a window phone n00b you smart people maybe able to enlighten me to alternative options which don't come from the origin of the app.
I suppose what I'm really asking is did you switch from an Android and what did you miss and what can you not live without since you switched.
My current plan is to get a 1020, tether it to my surface and use windows 8 pro instead of apps on the phone and use the phone for texts calls and the camera.
Any and all help welcome.
My concern also are the lack off apps on windows phones vs the enormous google play store.
But those apps you mentioned as an example (youtube, twitter) are available. Just as facebook, skype, wordfeud etc are.
I dont have a windows phone, but these apps are listed when I search the windows phone app store online.
Most are not from the website makers with some being rubbish or nothing more than a front end to the mobile version. This is one of my concerns as a lot are not very good or cost money and still aren't very good.

Twitter is baked into the OS, but there is an official version (at least there is for WP 7.8). There are a number of third party apps for things like Youtube and Instagram that are a lot better than you'd think. Try Metrotube or Supertube apps for Youtube.
So I recently bought a V10 and very pleased with the phone tbh..The only problem I'm finding is that on every 3rd party app (Snapchat,Instagram,Skype etc) that uses the front camera automatically selects the WIDE-ANGLE CAMERA AS THE DEFAULT CAMERA!!!! This can get hella frustrating especially with the fish-eye effect it gives off etc... Now that being said I'm avid snapchat user and the front camera just looks like trash on the V10 unlike coming from a G3, I much prefer the G3 snapchat experience to the V10's. I've seen many other threads from Nov/Oct 2015 saying how snapchat would need to implement the feature of being able to switch between the two front cameras....That was over 7 f**king months ago and they still haven't added a feature to support it. I've written to snapchat myself as well as the other people have too but nothing has been done... Now I have a solution, or kinda. Not too keen on developing apps myself but for whatever reason 3rd party apps believe the default camera is the wide angle one, I'm sure this has to do with software. If there's a developer out there that has or can create an app itself that can trick these apps into thinking the normal selfie camera is the default one then problem solved. I'm just utterly annoyed, hopefully someone can create this app or w/e man. 3rd party apps need to support this feature

The V10 may be the only phone current that has dual facing cameras, but in the near future other phones will start to adopt this idea. There's no going around that.

i doubt about that...the only phone who will have again dual front cameras is V20 in september...i dont see more dual front cameras in phones this year, maybe next year company's put it but dont forget: LG was first, same for the back camera LG was first!
- i dont understand why other brands take advantage of LG ideas and then try to copy them and people dont valorize LG for they work. LG is the best in the world...others only follow (Huawei more talking...)
Actually I believe the dual camera is being moved to the back instead of the front.
