Bluetooth/usb front facing camera for android? - General Questions and Answers

hi all, i just saw that skype now supports video calling. sadly though, my captivate does not have a front facing camera, and there are no mods for one either. anyhoo, does anyone know of a bluetooth camera or a usb camera which could be used?
cheers!

want to know as well also if there is a mini or micro usb webcam for our phones.....

I agree, if not their is a definite developing market for someone, i suppose the device drivers would probably be the limiting factor on developing something like this, between that and the fact there is quite a few operating systems around depending on your phone

Yeah it needs to be able to use the usb as a host which I understand my device can.

HDMI APP for EVO (using it for games on TV)

Hello,
I was wondering if a Dev was creating or looking into making a app over the HDMI to display everyith on your phone, not just when it is in video mode.
My thought was to someday be able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone and play doom, quake w/e from my phone to the TV.
Any thoughts?

These were my exact same thoughts, lets connect my phone to my tv and and bluetooth keyboard to the phone and have a big giant screen for txt messaging hahahahahaha Would also be really cool for watching SprintTV and the web.
Was really annoyed when I found out that the HDMI out had been crippled in the EVO. I hope this won't be the case for the EPIC.
Any ways, I too hope that someone can create a work around for this.

i dont believe that this could be done with an app but maybe god maybe manufacturers maybe CYANOGEN can help...
or the alternative if google (or anyone else) gives an API to develop apps...
if there were a browser, a better player(maybe rockplayer) and docs to go, things would have been better...
I am definately willing to donate to anyone that gets this working. It would make the phone so much more effective.
I used the Samsung Vibrant video out with a simple cable from radio shack and it mirrors the whole UI. Everything you do on the phone goes onto the TV. It isn't the most beautiful picture, and there is some frame lag, but it was still really nice. It would be even better over HDMI.
Jutst checking around some different forums to see if all the EVO Hdmi threads are dead or if any work is being done on it... anybody ?????
Any one fide something jet?
Nope still looking around and nothing yet. I know there's a dev raising money for a evo that already created an app for the nexus I believe......
This is definately dissapointing I would chip in for this as I travel a lot and would be great to use with my slingmobile and watching hockey games......
DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL THAT ZIP. IT'S A LIE AND PROBABLY IS A VIRUS AND/OR MALWARE.

[Q] 3.5 mm TV out cable

Obviously I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I'm running a custom rom, the valhalla final. I recently purchased a tv out cable from samsung. It doesn't work on any tv I have. Is it because the tv's I own are older? Or does it have something to do with my rom? If this is the case can anyone suggest a rom whrere tv out works? Please help me!!
Did you go to display settings and turn on the TV out option? If so and it still doesn't work, it may be a TV issue. I've been able to use it on all the TV's I've tried.

You need to switch the yellow (video) input with the red (audio) input when connecting to TV.

I've actually found that only applies to certain TV's for some reason. It's weird. But good point, I forgot about that.

Typically this would be reversed, meaning it would depend on the cable used. The phone sends the video signal on the same output.
I tried any color combination possible. NOthing work. My guess so far is the tv that stoned yoda was talking about. And yes, to answer your question, I chcked tv out. I get a bad picture with static and stuff. By the way, after thinking about it, the switching the cables wont work. That only applies if you don't buy the samsung cable, which I did. The samsung cable has a converter in it. Samsung switched the terminals to give you the illusion you had to buy from them. So I guess Im gonna find a newer tv and try it.....stoned yoda do you run a custom rom?

[Q] anyone try to port sony tab s remote controll

Noob with a 6210. Peel sucks and I do want to use the ir to control stuff. Is it possible to get the the apk for Sony s tab remote and try to get it to work on this tab plus?
I searched and found not much but since the Sony finally has root I thought it might be a way to get this done.

U might want to wonder into one of their forums and ask one of the users if they would do you the favor of pulling that specific apk from their tab and have them upload it for u.

Why would u not just use peel? I've got at least 5 TV'S @lone nit to mention all of my other players. It is sometimes a pain but works. Maybe the Sony one is that much better?
Sent from my GT-P6210 using XDA
On the face of it, the sony IR app is much better than peel, it supports sky uk satellite boxes and windows mediacentres, which I'm pretty sure peel doesn't, so I for one would love this app on my tab. I think I'll head over to the sony tab forum.

Peel sucks. Here's why:
1) Add an HDTV alone. So far so good as I can change inputs, channels, and volume on the TV.
2) Go to add a reciever. The self test powers the reciever on and switches inputs but when complete it will NOT save it to the room profile.
3) Start over andthis time tell Peel I use a reciever to adjust my volume. I select my TV and then it takes me straight to setting up the audio portion of the reciever. This saves both to my room profile but completely skips over the portion of setting my TV's inputs to make sure it's right for watching television. Kind of stupid that I have to use my TV remote to switch inputs on the TV now when Peel can/should be doing that for me.
4) Contact Peel and listen to them tell you that it's all the fault of the Galaxy Tab 7.0 + drivers and when ICS is released, with the updated driver, it might be fixed.
I've tried with a number of reciever & television brand combos to the extent of what I have in the house (3 TV's LG, JVC, Samsung and 2 AV Recievers Onkyo, Sony) and it does exactly the same with any combination of them.
Yup with the Sony u can control different equipment by choosing it from the main menu. With peel u can't
Thanks to the Sony guys for giving us the software packages now to start trying to get it to work and thanks to Paul for going over and asking for it

i have tried to get this to install but it wont so im gonna rename it and try to install it from the mnt asec folder. thats where most of my propriatary stuff gets installed on my HTC but i am new to the samsung game
also we may want to take this over to the DEV section and see if anyone in there can work some magic on it?
It would be wonderful if you can get this to work. All of my TVs are Windows Media center based.
ok I tried to install with es explorer. Took it over to the system/app . Then fixed permissions and still no luck. Went to the store and put esfile on a demo Sony and found a bunch of bin files in system/bin don't know if I needed them but pulled em with Bluetooth anyway. Will try to mess with it some more tomorrow.
Btw, Sony s is on ICS and its smooth even with the slower CPU.
Hear that Samsung? Get us some 4.0 and a decent remote app!!!!!!!!
Look in Play App store for Touchsquid app. It now works with the Tab 7 plus and Tab 2. The demo version works with both even though it wasn't very clearly stated that it works with the 7 plus. It definitely does work with the t 7 plus and is very promising. There are two paid version with different capabilities.

View and control phone screen using PC via USB cable

Hey guys,
I used to stream my iphone screen to my PC and was able to control it using keyboard and mouse. Is there a similar way to do this with the skyrocket? It makes it convenient here at work. Thanks!

Try this. It is what I used when my screen was broke. Make sure you have adb running, else it will not launch. Another thing is it is not working anymore on my particular ICS Rom. Should work fine on any GB rom, though. Hope this helps!
Here is the link to the google code page for this project. I take NO credit for this helpful app whatsoever. Devs and further info can be found here- http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Note- It is a bit slower than your probably use to, but it is the only app I could find for our device.
^^ Thanks. Testing it now.
Our new app, VMLite VNC Server, should fulfill your needs, it does exactly what you need, to control android phones or devices from a PC, so you can use the external keyboard/mouse, etc. We app has fast responses, and works on rooted or non-rooted devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmlite.vncserver&hl=en
so far our users like it. You can simply click a button to do USB connection:

i use a program called MyPhoneExplorer and the corresponding Android app is in the store.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T and I also have a busted screen. I am trying to just pull my pictures off of it before my replacement arrives. I downloaded the SDK package you linked to but lack the knowledge to just get it to link to my phone via USB. To complicate matters I had it pattern locked but since I can't get the screen to work at all I can't unlock the phone. If I could my computer sees the phone as a portable device but won't show me any of it's files. Any pointers would be helpful.
Hmm
Well, I have a HDMI IN port in my rig . And with a MHL adapter, works perfectly fine on Windows 8.

I use an MHL adapter as well but will matter if the screen isn't functional? As far as I'm aware you still have to direct it via the touch screen....

Pantech burst p9070

Ive just recently bought the Pantech burst p9070 and so far im impresst with the phone except for a couple of things like screen viability in the sun, HD pics & video and one of my favorites, HDMI. I very much do hope Pantech will add these great features to the burst soon. With that said is their a legitament root that works for the Pantech burst p9070 and are their any custom roms and kernels developed for this phone? I would love to know what you guys think about the phone. It seems to me its a playground of development and possibilitys waiting to happen but thats only my opinion but again some help with rooting would be greatly appreciated guys and thanks so much...

Guys, need help. I recently got a pantech burst and noticed one odd thing.
The micro USB port is different than most of my other devices, its kinda split on one side. Is it defective or normal? Can you check yours and confirm?
I am enclosing a picture for reference, tried my best to show what I see. Thanks.

Mine is also split, however the metals align together. If your jack goes in fine without any resistance, it should be fine? I dont know. You can try. If it doesnt go in fine, you can try taking a small screwdriver and pushing one of the metals (the one that "violated" the alignment) into the phone so they align better.
Thanks all for your comments. Looks like this has to go back to the seller for replacement.
BTW, I bought this off ebay from phonestoreusa. The seller is pretty responsive, anybody has first hand experience with him?
Thats where I got my pantech burst too. That was new.

I would guess its defective. Mine isn't and never seen one split before on any thing like that. Does it charge and seem to work? Maybe go to store you got it or any store actually and look at display model and show them.
Well when I replied there was no others? Oh well. Lol.

Mine also has the split however yours looks a little out of place (the gap looks wider) because in my case the two pieces are right next to each other and look perfectly in place.
What is your exact concern, are facing trouble while connecting to the port?

While the split is normal (part of the build) yours seem to have one portion out of alignment with the other. Check whether your phone charges properly.
Just wanted to update, I got a replacement from phonestoreusa. But seriously, the guy needs to reword his listing, no way the phones he is selling as "New" are new!
Can't connect to camera
My burst is rooted and right after I rooted it, I installed PAC-MAN ROM KK RC-3 dev 4.4.4.
The kernel version is 3.0.101-cyanogenmod-g83586a2

Now it will no longer connect to my camera nor my camera flash (ie: I can't use a camera or torch).
How can I remedy this situation?
