Anyone know of a way to hook up an external camera, perhaps to the USB port? Maybe for video calling?

Why would you do that you have a front facing camera....smh... and no your phone can't do that

Actually I thought of a work around....smh...no faith. And not specifically the skyrocket. Gotta think outside the box to see the reason for a miniture camera that can video call.

How are you gonna build a driver to recognize an input device like that on top of making it recognize a video input over USB and then activate it based on app demand when apps don't natively support it so you would have to trick the phone into thinking its the ffcamera seems like an awful lot of work for something built in already IMO.

Like I said...think outside the box. Bring the camera out or make a daisey chain with a simple switch.

I thought of that after I posted it...then I was thinking it would be easier to extend the camera out and have it functional.

The easiest way to do it, I thing is to use the Eye-Fi connect SD card in you camera. ( http://goo.gl/dxXK ) and especially the Mobile X2.
There is an app for android. I never used it but I read a lot on it lately and it seems really interesting

don't think this does what you want but there ya go
I was thinking about being able to do video chat with someone but be able to have the camera pinned to my jacket or something slllowing person I'm talking to see what I'm seeing. Extending the lens out is easiest thing I can think of. Will check out those links though.
Thanks guys

Is there any way to get video-out working on the mesmerize and showcase or is the hardware just not there?
there is no hardware anywhere on the board that supports video out. if you had the time, money and knowledge to open it up, put the right connectors and hardware, ports, everything and then write drivers to make it work then it could be possible potentially.

I don't think it's possible, but at the same time I'm really not sure. I haven't worked much with it. Just doesn't seem possible.
I love the fact that I have a smart phone to basically search anything that I dare to search.
One big thing I love to do is jam out to "Ride the lightning" by Metallica on YouTube, I like to keep my SD card on the slim side as with everything else
Why can I not keep YouTube closed (running in the background) and still have whatever was running/playing (play) ?
I don't like the mobile YouTube app it sucks
I have tried Opera Mini and Firefox (blows)
Need to see other options (other users such as your fine selves).
Any words?
could get a hold of the song somehow and put it on your phone as a mp3 and just play it in a music player.
Well... I like to keep it slim (hint) haha
I am not so limited either as far as " I can only have this many songs"
Currently I only possess a 2gB card
But the infuse has 16gb(well like 14.3) internal storage? Confused.

Not to mention you can put a 32gb sd card in on top of that. As for the youtube app not playing with the screen off... I'd imagine they figure not too many people are watching videos with the screen off. One song will not take up that much space.

I understand the point... I also hate when I search something to play on youtube and when I try to answer a text message or do anything I lose the streaming!...
I someone find a modified youtube app please share!

Does Skype video work on the S2 LTE? I didn't find anything on here, but from what I've searched on Google, it doesn't seem to work for a number of people. What's the verdict here? Anyone on here that uses it themselves? Help is much appreciated. Thanks.
Skype works fine for me. The wifey sometimes will hop on my transformer while I'm at work and we'll have ourselves a video chat.

Works fine for me. I've only done it to a computer though, not another phone.
Thanks guys. But has anyone done from phone to phone? Or even more specifically, from the SGS2 to an iPhone 4?
Yes I routinely Skype to my family in the UK and they use the iPhone4. We have no issues at all, it works great!

My camera will not make the switch when I go to landscape. When I do I look like I am walking on the wall
How did you guys get the video to work. I tried Skype to a computer and no video just audio. Didnt even find how to turn on the camera.

Make sure you have video enabled in skype settings. The skyrocket isn't officially supported so you have to check the option to turn it on.
My brother and I both got skyrockets on the same day. Skype was one of the things we tested first. From skyrocket to skyrocket it works great.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I've tested between S2 LTE and iPhone 4 and it works fine. Quality isn't top notch, but it does warn you before hand that Skype isn't certified to work on the device, whatever that might mean.
Hey all... I'm going on vacation this weekend and wanted to bring my Captivate with me to use as a media player attached to my car's video system. I haven't used this phone for a few months now (upgraded to a new phone), so I'm wondering which of the newer Roms have the video out (or is it called TV out?) feature working? Would anyone recommend one over another? Phone features are unimportant, as the only thing I'll be using it for are video and maybe music. Rather than flashing a bunch of Roms, I thought I'd ask the forum to see if anyone has used this feature lately and can confirm that it works on "Rom _____"
Thanks in advance!

I know this is probably dumb but I was wondering if anyone tried to put Linux or android into the Ford/Microsoft Sync on their car? Seems like itneiuld be ancomolete pita but still would be incredibly funny. Especially if it made an improvement.
