Front facing camera - Thunderbolt General

So I bought my phone hoping to utilize the front facing camera since I got it I think that I have used it like 2 times. What happen to this thing having Skype? I tried using other video chat apps but they just seemed like junk. What do you guys think? Will there be Skype for this?

+1. Tango runs smoother on the tbolt then it did on my old evo.

I'm using a captivate with Speed N Style ROM Purplicious. Infuse looks mostly similar minus the processor and 1080p. Development may follow heavily, and pretty quickly, due to the similarities to i9000.
Got one today but spot working im in downloading mode need stock rom any help plz )):

What did you guys pay for yours? Where's the best price off contract you've seen?
loving mine. 4.5 inch screen is great. especially when dash mounted. extremely snappy. can't wait for the ROMs, touchwiz 4 is better than 3.
Like a lot of others, i was torn about getting the infuse or waiting for AT&T's version of the SGS2. it sounds great and all, but who knows when that's coming out. Even when it does, i don't know if the dual core will be a huge difference, plus i think i would rather have the infuse's larger screen.

worst case, you wait a few months, love the SG2, and then just sell the Infuse.
at least that's my plan.
now I'm off to the mall to buy it
I've been doing the buy/sell/trade with phones since the Iphone 4 came out. I got my Infuse yesterday, and I can honestly say it is more than a phone. Its the first phone I have not been able to use comfortably with 1 hand. The delayed dedicated forum and GS2 will prolly kill this phone. I don't think the dualcore will really matter, but I think the smaller screen of the SG2 will make it more comfortable to use. Until then, I will use the Infuse that I got, as it is by far the best At&t device to date.

The only thing that was bugging me about the huge screen that I think is impossible to do with one hand is pull down the notifications tab. Installed LauncherPro, used the home button to pull down notifications problem solved. I'm loving the extra real estate and especially when it comes to typing.

That's my main beef with the iPhone...who wants their phone to look the exact same 5 years from now?? I just find it boring as hell. And WAY too thick.
You know what's funny about Apple though, they fight tooth and nail to get Android off the shelves and say their software is the key point of their pitch but they neglect to mention all of Googles' features they use on a regular basis for one when you search for anything on an apple device it uses Google, can't blame them there right.
Now their saying their new 3d maps are going to beat Googles Maps but G Maps has been in beta for a few years now, they know what works and what doesn't but if Apple wants to give it a go then it should be interesting.
I'll stick with this device, there will always be something wrong somewhere with anything some one has, nothing is perfect otherwise there wouldn't be competitors.

Strange, I still wish that my One S could match my old iPhone call quality and network reception and I wish I woukd not have to use a second phone to use Skype...
I'm away right now and I have to use Skype to make all my calls, I can tell you that sometime I just get enough annoyed that I just change my SIM card...

That's the way it's headed anyway...Google is about to blow the provider model out of the water with their next gen Nexus devices (which should even put your mighty gen1 Nexus to shame), working directly with more manufacturers and selling directly to consumers. And I can't wait...I think they'll be doing all us Android users a big favor, longterm.
Apple really good in steal ideal and make it better than the original one. if you look at notification bar on iphone, it's really nice and i think it does better job than our android notification. I also like their notification badge/alert/ pop up for message/mail/FB... Still i can get popup app from play store but i want some thing that come from the operating system itself... I takes android phone because it's open, not because it better than iphone.
Yeap...open source FTW!!

Skype is working on an update for the program, should address "most" issues. Tmob says it's the program but I think it maybe there network where I am for my issues with it.

OMG! Free android phone!

Sooooo ignore these annoying commentators, but check out what showed up in a Entertainment Weekly advertisement.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQm7k4riCoE
It's a blackberry running android with a data connection and a T-Mobile Sim card.
What more could you want?
I'm going to try and find one of these magazines! I'll check book stores and grocery stores and the like.
at the very least you could just put the sim in a regular phone and make free calls and get free data.
anybody else have thoughts on this?
Found this in another thread, but notice how it said they only produced 1000... when I found out I realized my chances of finding one was slim.
Also, I believe this was from 2 days ago so its already too late

Yeah i read about the 1k on the mashable page :/ Hopefully in the future we'll get to see some XDA guy who got his hands on one. i was really hoping to find one. there's almost no way though.
as a side note about the advertisement, i think a QR code to the twitter feed would have worked just as well...
I wonder what would happen if you popped the SIM into another t-mo phone. Free data? Would they find out? I wish I could get one of these...
I can't see the appeal of blackberry let alone one that runs android.

Nope. Its not a BlackBerry. The BlackBerry keyboard is curved for easier typing, not straight as in the video. Besides, since when did BlackBerries have 6 buttons and a camera in the centre with no flash? Unless, it was so long ago that I couldn't remember..

Front Facing Camera

Everyone was complaining that the iphone has a purple hue when the camera is pointed at bright lights. Well I just found out that the front facing camera on the galaxy s3 has the same problem. Has anyone noticed this before? I know why it happens but this is the first time I noticed it and I couldn't find anyone talking about it. I'm just happy we don't have this problem on the back camera.
I've never seen it.

I tried recreating the issue. It's not nearly as strong as yours, but it's there. I would guess that most users would find that under the right lighting conditions. It's something I wouldn't have even noticed had you not mentioned it. I don't often sit in front of a light source when using the FFC though.

I'm thinking that there are two reasons why its so strong. One reason is I replaced the light bulbs a few days ago with "twice as bright" bulbs. The second possibility might be the fact I have other light sources in the room. Could have been a perfect storm of them mixed.
Something is seriously wrong with your camera, is it giving everyone a neck beard????

All cameras will do that to some extent, though I wasn't able to get my GS3 to recreate anything close to what is in your screenshot.
I tried to make it happen on the back camera but I got zero purple.

Got mine the other day and so far im loving it. What customizations have you done so far? So far I am trying out the Apex launcher, and using Skype for voice calling, but would like to find something that doesn't cost. We have a case coming that has a built in Bluetooth keyboard.
I deal with Excel all day and the Tab is a perfect.

I used vibor a few months ago and hated the call quality, lag was terrible when calling overseas. I haven't tried Tango overseas yet, but asked clients to install to test. I've heard Whatsapp was really good, but not available for my Tab2. Right now I'm sticking with Skype as we paid for a 1 year subscription.
I just got mine today and am as well looking for a way to root surprise they havent added a forum for the SGH-T779
The only bright spot is the hardware is very similar to the US SGS3 with a Qualcomm S4 but with 1G of RAM.
Got mine today,
Black Friday freebie! hopefully a root solution will come out soon!
