Hi!
I want to have the rear camera recording video while at the same time have the tablet running office or a internet browser.
Is there a way to have the rear camera recording video in the background (multitasking)?
Is there a way to do this or could you help me find one?
Its for a good cause.
Awesome post.
Hallo "Hi_mom! "! I think your post is awesome. I wish someone answers to it soon.

I'm currently looking for information on users who have front facing camera on generic chinese tablets. I have an EM73, TCC8803 based tablet but I believe any tablet that's currently in the line of Emdoor/Telechips based tablets could benefit from this thread. And in the long run, hopefully any device with a front facing camera.
The issue is Video Chat. As i'm sure everyone has tried, the camera app works great! But, if you use another video chat program such as gtalk or Qik, then the other person will see a very downgraded video. If you (currently) try the Skype 2.0 hacks, you'll see no video at all.
It appears to me that the video chat programs are making a specific call in Android 2.3.x for video chat abilities (I've only gotten gtalk to work in 2.3.3, Qik works in 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 but video quality is the same).
Does any know where this request is and maybe how it could be modified? Also, has anyone tried another video chat program that worked better?
I hope we can get better video quality, as the TCC8803 chip should have no problems with an upgraded video out stream. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a Samsung 7.7 P6800 and I use it as a video surveillance camera with Skype.
In Skype settings I set the automatic answer with video and everything works fine.
The front canera is used by default but I would like to use the rear camera only since it has a better definition.
during the video call there is an option in skype for selecting the camera but working in automatic answer mode it's useless.
I don't need the front camera and I am ready to desable it but I need to keep the rear camera working.
I didn't find any app, can somebody suggest something?
Thanks
I don't think you will find any solution for this. I know g+ you can use the rear but I don't think there is an auto answer?

It's a pity beacuse I can switch from front to rear camera during skype video calls therefore there must be a way for keeping it on rear camera only by default either Android or Skype software modification.
Any expert here who can help?

Hello has anyone found the solution of query given by blackspawn2 .. Please help as I also want to do same on the Samsung S3 Android phone.
Hey everyone, I have a stock Samsung S4 that I like recording concert videos on.
I had a real big issue with the audio. I might have that fixed with BootlegMic. I have also installed LgCamera in hopes of finding a fixed focus for my video. I found that this app did let me use an external mic that my stock app did not, but I cannot seem to get a decent quality video from it at all
I have tried changing video resolution, video encoder, video bitrates, and file formats. Every conceivable combination that's possible, (I realize any video res past 1920 X 1080 is not supported), but cannot get any video quality even close to the stock video app.
Is there anyone with experience with this problem that can help me get it sorted out?
Thx. Jerry.
This may be late
This may be a late reply, but just in case any one else happens upon this thread, it might be worth looking at Open Camera app. Lots of tweakable settings, fixed focus, exposure lock, external mic, etc.
BTW, I just put together a bootlegMIC and it is fantastic.
Hi guys,
I am using latest global stable rom (7.5.1) and i noticed something wrong with instagram. As you all know instagram released new update and you can use the instagram like @snapchat which you can upload your story. I liked the app. But the problem is when you upload a story you have to take a picture or record video inside of the application. When i try to do that simply the rear camera picture or video quality is amazingly poor.
Any other one faced the issue? And any solution you you can provide?
Btw I tried global developer rom latest version as well (6.7.29) which came back to same issue as well.
Waiting for your feedbacks. Thanks.
After few tries..
Well ok what i found out after few tries is quite funny and simple. The problem is not the camera drivers or device specs.
Instagram app is automatically selecting the lowest quality video recording option. What i am trying to say is; since rear camera has recording options ( sd, hd, full hd, 4k) the app is making the lowest quality selection by itself. When it comes to front camera since there is no option to choose the quality of front camera video recording then instgram takes the fixed one which is already full hd ( you can find video recording settings inside of camera app for both rear and front cameras) I believe this is done due to decrease the data consumption.
So now the case is if we can simply remove the option of 'SD Video Recording of the back camera' then we can post good quality videos on instagram
So if someone know, how the camera recording quality can be removed from the system please let me know
Thanks in advance
