Bluetooth/usb front facing camera for android?

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.

bump guysss

interested too but unfortunately seems that's not possible.. have asked this question too some time ago

ghost touches the screen while charging

Hello,
my new HTC Sensation worked fine. But since 4 days it seems that a ghost it touching the tochpad all time when the cellphone is charging.
So you can't use it while it is charging...
If you remove the power plug everything is fine again.
Has anybody had the same problem?
Best regards
Markus

Just use another charger. Or touch the metal frame with your other hand. Its a problem with grounding .. next time please use search no need for yet another touchscreen thread
Pete

Hello,
thank you very much for your answer.
I called the German HTC support before, but the men at the hotline knew nothing about this problem and wanted me to send the phone the them (that might have taken 2 weeks as it was told )
And I tried the search, but it seems as I used the wrong text for the search.
I am sorry.
Will post if it worked or net.
Best regards
Markus

Hahaha it will, i also have this problem with a usual USB charger until i touch the frame.. or use the HTC charger

you can also fix this by charging it on your computer via USB...some say battery lasts even more

Can anybody tell me the phrases I need to use for the search to find the already existing themes to this phenomen?

Search for touch screen issue or touch screen response
You gonna find some
Btw if my solution helped you, would be nice if you'd hit the thanks button. Thanks

i had this problems whit the sensation charger.... i think the "0" on the charger is the problem... the micro usb cable is ok... just try diffrend htc model charger... i try Desire, wildfire charger withou any problems...

Try a different charger...
If it's the same, try the link from my sig. It's the only touchscreen fix available and it was just confirmed that it works for problems like yours

WHO YA GONNA CALL??
GHOST BUSTERS!
I just had to XD

I had the same problem; used the aluminum foil method others alluded to and that fixed it.

is this issue still on the XE? or have they fixed it.

The HTC charger is defective!!! Do not use.
Get another micro USB charger. I picked up a Samsung micro USB charger from a friend and it works great. No more ghosting =)

I agree 100%, either tinky1's thread or zmlf's thread SHOULD be a stickie thread here. I mean the methods given in both threads have been more than proven that they work. I will send as mod a message myself also to see about getting one of the threads a stickie. So zmfl message me with the name of the mod you message and I will contact them too.

Hi there! I had the same problem no matter what charger I used! However I used a shielded USB cable to reduce the interference from any charger. I ceated a thread on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072354 for more details.

I know this thread is old but I ran into the same problem - after some researching I discovered that the p5001 is actually a "cloned" Coolpad 7295C, if you pop the back cover open and look at the lower left corner you should see faint coolpad model number "7295C" - search aliexpress, ebay or something similar and you'll find lots of cheap parts. good luck !

Got mine and love it to bits. Amazing for the price.
Would like a custom rom more than rooting but rooting would be good too Something to clear up the programs and stuff to make the most of the 1.5ghz dual core.

Hi,
I have a zoostorm 3305 that I want to get an external 3g dongle working on. After googling I believe i need to root it first, but I'm new to rooting, and not sure what software/drivers i need and where to get them. I would love some help if you have any on offer.
Cheers
Andychat..

how good are these ?
speed in general
Speed of keyboard popping up when in chrome ?
viewing angles (I totally hate poor viewing angles)
updates

I am more than happy with the speed. Keyboard delay pop-up can sometimes be slow.(its usually when emails are being synced). I improved the touchscreen response by using an app to recalibrate it. I think its hindered by the supplied screen protector.
The only thing I can't do is mobile 3g internet. I think I need to root.
I'm. Awaiting I bit of help from the guru's on this forum.

I don't think they are bad. I don't really watch TV or movies on it. It doesn't seem any worse than my Samsung so phone.
Not sure if this helps you much. I would recommend one if you don't have the finances for the Samsung Tablets or the ipads.

sounds good
I did have the Gemini JoyTab 9.7 Duo
I RMA'd it cause as soon as you tilted it slightly right the whole right side washed out
it was so bad that even flat direct ahead you could see the start of the right side polarize wash out with what must be only a few degrees off centre
fine all 3 others ways, I though mine my have been faulty till I went in to a staples and checked their display model, exact same issue.

I sent you a PM via YouTube (Sorry), couldn't post on here for some reason but sorted now.
I have never rooted Android (very new to it) and can't find anything solid about rooting Zoostorm Playtab 10" Tablet. I really don't want to brick it.
I was wondering if you may be able to help me as it sounds like you have rooted the Playtab successfully?
Do you have any links to or name of the guide / firmware you used for the root?
Has the root improved the overall performance of you Zoostorm Playtab as mine can often freeze or delay mid use with the stock firmware?
Cheers mate.

I'm new to Tablets so not sure how useful this can be because i havn't used many others but...
speed in general is quite good however it seemed to run faster when it was new and "fresh" but now having since installed more apps, it seems to temporarily freeze mid-use e.g. going through settings tabs, launching apps etc. I often get a "not responding" message and choice to wait or quit. Waiting seems to work but as this is happening more and more, it's a concern and hence why i'm looking to root.
There is sometimes a 1 or 2 sec delay with keyboard popping up (not sure in Chrome, i'm talking general use). Its not a problem for me.
Viewing angles are reasonable to me but you can see it wash out when looking from the sides but I tend to look at it straight on anyway.
To be honest you get what you pay for (currently £114-£120 on Amazon UK / eBuyer) and it's not bad at all, especially if I can figure this freeze issue.
Hope this helps.

Not sure if you sorted it but these tablets are pretty unbrickable as are most RK3066 based tablets, I've done more wipes & reflashes on this tablet than I care to remember.
You can try to flash the original ROM from here - http://downloads.zoostorm.com/drivers/android/PlayTab/
I did manage to flash a build of CyanogenMod 10 based on another RK3066 tablet on this tablet but it wasn't really what you would call stable, it had screen rotation bugs, random reboots plus Wifi wasn't working at all & as I'm not a developer I soon reverted back to stock, for the most part the tablet runs pretty well with it's stock ROM, 3G works well with the PPP Widget app etc.
It was either this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/39750-romgenerickmod-jb41cwmzip-for-pipo-u1max-m11/
Or this one - http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41777-romcyanogen-10-for-rk3066-wip/
I'm just glad it has a working CWM Recovery & is easy to root

I'm really digging mine too. Most times when opening Dolphin browser or other browsers it will hang for 5-8 secs sometimes. You guys get that? only think that pees me off really.
If we could get it a tad snappier, would be great too!
How do I get flash on this thing?

I've also got the freezing issue occasionally, not sure what causes that.
My main issue at the moment is I can't use "OpenVPN for Android". It claims it can't access /dev/tun so it doesn't work (ticking the box to fix this in CM doesn't work as it's not rooted). Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Freezing is caused by software trying to access root imho. Avoid software that needs root access.

[Q] Sensitivity, tap instead of swipe

Hi guys, i really like the phone but I have one major problem with it. Sometimes the screen randomly thinks my finger is tapping instead of swiping.. So when scrolling through a list, it doesn't scroll through the list, but rather taps the links. I compared it with my M8 and its definitely a huge difference

Just to sum up, the customer support in OnePlus is nearly non-existend.
I have seen the reports that someone with RMA ticket number 98 (can you imagine, just in first hundred) does not have any reply from them already 3 weeks.

God im seriously thinking about keeping my M8...

I am also experiencing the tap instead of swipe bug. Its a bit annoying. I love the potential of this phone and hope that Cyanogen will get all the kinks fixed. Maybe that's one of the real reasons for the official release not taking place.

Are you by any chance having the issue when not holding the phone in your hand? There seems to be some sort of grounding problem(?) when the phone is on e.g. a pillow which did not exist before the update pushed in the beginning of july. Apparantely CM is working on fixing it again.

I really hope they do rectify these issues. Cause I'm kind of regretting selling my Nexus 5. I mean this hardware is superb and I love the feel of the sandstone back. The software is just not ready for the masses.

I am looking at the forums. And: for me, the support responded to my questions within 24h in 3 of 4 cases. That's my personal experience.
I think you should try it. If this does not work: give your request an update. Or two. Or three. And then, if all that doesn't work, either: make pressure on the public forums. THEN you can/should be upset.

Yes it's common, i have this issue as well. I think it happens when the phone stutters/lag, the swipe turns to a tap. My solution is to flash fast, lag-free ROMs, reducing the incidents. You should try jgcaap Lag-free CM13 ROM and see if it gets better, it worked for me.

Thank you very much for your advice, I'm testing this rom, and doing very well not have lag or loses touch for now.
