i would like to ask if is there any app for use my htc hd 7 as a web cam ?
No i dont think so -.-
It wouldn't have been possible before Mango to do this, but now I believe Camera and port access is available so perhaps an app will be on the way in the following months? It would never be able to run in the background however.
You could send the video stream to the PC from an app on the phone. Getting the PC to recognize the stream as coming from a webcam would require writing a driver, though. This is possible but not trivial.

Does anyone know of a program that can combine audio(from the mic) and video(from the camera) into a stream that could be accessed via wifi? Kinda like Qik without involving Qik servers. What would be perfect is VLC.
I have found a few programs that kinda do it, WebCameraPlus and Mobiola. But both require a driver on a computer and do not transmit sound.
What I am trying to do is use an old WM phone(HTC Wizard) as a baby monitor. I could use a PC or another smart phone to access the stream from pretty much anywhere then. The wizard apparently doesnt work with Qik, or maybe it is just an issue with the ROM.
Moved as not software release.
Hi - Is anyone aware of an Android app that will allow you to access your Windows Media Player library over the internet, remotely (ie from someone elses house)?
I can access it in the house using 2player.. but what would be really cool would be able to access my media over the internet from a friends house, or even at work..
Or do I need to install a third party app on my PC at home too? (I'd rather not do that unless it's the only option... and if it is the only option.. which one is the best one to choose?)
Thanks.
My HD7 can't recognise other phone bluetooth when i try to transfer some vid to my Hd7.Looks like WM7 is the same as Iphone.
Wp7 doesn't support Bluetooth file transfer
Sent from my Focus using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
why on earth htc/wm wants to follow iphone
how bout other model is it the same?
It's WP7, not wm7. Windows Mobile allowed for bluetooth file transfer. Windows Phone does not. It's just not part of the Windows Phone design plan to allow bluetooth file transfer. If that is a deal breaker for you, get another phone with a different OS.
Of course, there are other ways to transfer files besides bluetooth.
For video, though, you can only get video off the phone by connecting to Zune.
With the Mango update coming this fall, you will be able to send video via MMS.
This is just the way the OS works.
can we use hd7's primary camera as webcam through any app??
What do you mean by "as webcam"? If it means - "like any cheap USB webcam to work with desktop Skype app" - the answer is "no" (however, with appropriate drivers and phone software it's may be possible - check this topic for details).
If you mean "like an IP-cam", to be able to watch video/picture stream from WP7 - yes, it's very possible with current API but I don't know any app on the markeplace. And I'm not sure about app necessity.
You'd have to install an app on the phone that streams the feed from the camera over the network, and an app+driver on the PC that received the network stream, and fed it into a virtual camera device.
Theoretically possible (although the quality would probably be awful) but not easy. Webcams are all of what, $15 these days?
IP-cams with 3G/4G/Wi-Fi capabilities definitelly are not worth $15 Android, 4 example, has a nice app called IP Webcam so I converted my old, cheap and unused Android phone to the nice IP cam (but no, my wife doesn't cheat me, of course! LOL)
Why not use TANGO app?
PocketCam will let you use your WP7 as a webcam to your computer, and you can use it with MSN, Skype, etc.
Hello, first of all.
It's been a long time since I have visited this place, so excuse me please if I missed a similar thread. I have searched for it.
My question is if it this possible to turn my old Motorola XT 720 into an Android TV box (i.e. Chromecast or similar).
I have tried CheapCast app that only crashed when opening YouTube. This phone has a HDMI port and I assumed it can connect through it to my Philips TV, which is not a smart TV, but a regular HD TV.
The only connection I was able to create was the built-in version of media gallery from phone which has the option to display the pictures from phone on TV screen (proving there is a working connection at least).

This should be possible as the device has the ability to use another display. I would recommend using something like Tablet Remote or other similar apps on the Play store so instead of using the device as a chrome cast you can use it as a full media center device connected to your TV. By using one of these apps you would play videos directly through your device instead of "casting" them. This should hopefully work arround the issue of apps like CheapCast crashing.
Hope I could help and good luck
Thank you, Tablet Remote works good between the 2 Android phones. Still working on it.
I am also working on this route, trying to make use of my screen-broken Xperia Z. However apart from using as mediacenter with kodi, it would be nice if I could properly emulate chromecast. I would love to see a nexus android TV Rom being able to drive my phone, is anybody working on that?
