[Q] Video Chat/Calling Qik Front Camera Fix

So you know our phones comes with Qik Video Chat. Has anyone used this app? I don't have any friends that have it so I don't know if the picture is in the correct orientation.
Has anyone used other apps like Tango? I tried using Tango with my brother and the orientation is wrong at his end.
So my main question is for those that are using Qik Video Chat. Is the orientation correct on the receiving party's end or is it wrong like with Tango that I'm experiencing with other people?
UNRELEASED UPDATE FOR QIK HERE!!!X.

Yes my wife and I used Qik and it look good, just a little laggy.

Qik
I have not been able to use mine yet. i dont have any friends who have a front faceing camera yet. So right now its a waste of space for me. My girlfriend has a fasinate and she thought, and was told it had a front cam on it but we found out it did not....

I've used Qik - its clear and it does lag. The only thing Im not too happy about is when using any other app such as Tango or Fring u can not utilize the face front camera. Use have to use the camera on the back which sucks. If I had to do that I would've kept my Vibrant. I was told that there may be an update coming out to correct that, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Tango is ok but if I had to choose I would use qik or fring.

What sucks is that you still have to use the rear camera. It won't let you use the face front. I don't want to have to turn my phone around so the other person can see me.....I hope they come out with a update for it. If not Im going to have to get rid of this....I already rooted it and unlocked it....

I dunno why yours isn't working. Mine works just fine using the front camera.

Update your tango app -- then click the icon at the top right hand corner of your screen and it will rotate from Front to Back

i cant use the camera with skype. i can only in the qik video chat

QIK Force close

Tango seems to work fine with me.. at first the front can showed up sideways but after the update it works perfectly

Could you maybe post that apk here? Just back it up with Titanium Backup then upload the apk.

ooVoo, is the best as far as I am concerned. I video chat for hours, and have used Tango, ooVoo, and qik. ooVoo has the best audio quality, video is good also. Tango, has good video quality audio is not so good. And qik. ok. oovoo is the best, you can chat phone to phone and phone to pc.

Qik won't let me switch to the front camera. It says switched to front, but it's not.

Tango is good if you are doing phone to phone or phone to Ipod touch....Oovoo is the best in my opinion because you can do phone to phone, phone to Ipod touch and phone to pc

[Q] using phone and TF as a video monitoring system

Is there an app that will allow you to place your phone somewhere and use your TF as a monitor in real time (seeing what the phone's camera sees?

There are plenty of ip webcam apps in the market.

icam

Thank you both very much....I'll check them all out....

Who are you creeping on?

Lol...no creeping...just messing around with my new TF....

I've done this using ipwebcam (from market) running on my nexus one and tiny cam monitor (from market) running on my tf. Works great and quality is pretty decent. I used it to spy on my dog.

That IP Webcam app is decent. Been trying to use it to remotely monitor some newborn puppies. I prefer to just put a password up and use the TF's web browser to view in javascript.
I'd like a way to prolong my phones battery though. The phone gets too hot when plugged in via charger. I tried selecting the option to allow it to switch off the screen, as that gobbles a lot of power. Unfortunately this stops it broadcasting. I have my phone so it keeps the wifi on when the screen is off, but cant find out whether its switching off the camera, the cpu, or what its doing when the screen goes off.
Anyone know of an app to keep things alive when the screen is off please?

Well,
Ipwebcam and tiny cam monitor didn't work because I'm at work and I think that there is a problem with the ips or ports or something...it hung on "camera loading."

LOL! What did you find out?

I have a linksys web cam that allows me to view on a dyndns site. It's all black in the cam box. It does require activex installation so I don't know if that is the issue with TF browser and if it's possible at all to have add-on.

But e.g. pic2shop (Vision Smarts) works. It reads a little longer code but the product in the shop application or google is correct.

I heard of one person who bought a small plastic magnifying lens and placed it over the camera lens. By slowly moving the tab back and forth, it would focus enough to scan.
Clumsy, but apparently worked.

Front camera have better focus due to the distance from your face to your tablet, it work for me.

Need IP Cam Help Please

I'm trying to make my tablet the camera and my phone the viewer. One of the kids are sneaking in the room and taking money that isn't theirs. I downloaded IP Cam Brie Viewer Pro but non if the Web cameras I download and give me the IP number it's using is working. I want to be able to have my Galaxy 7 tablet up on the dock charging and when motion happens it records. I can't find anything that works together. If the camera does what I need the viewer and other viewers don't pick it up. Does anyone know of anything that way we can get the proof top punish the right one? A motion detector camera app with a working IP viewer? Again my Galaxy 7 tablet will be the camera and my Tmobile One will be the viewer. Thank you all that can help.

Does anyone know of a way to make the twisty gesture open this app--or some other camera app--rather than stock moto app?

how did you do that with tasker? I used win label to detect camera app and switch to another app. But both Moto camera and Google camera share the same win label as "Camera“.

create a new task, use Event/shake/app. I used Up/down shake so I could choose which camera to use by how the phone is shaken

I noticed that too, which I found odd since the stock camera app has HDR.

Does anyone know why the resolution is only 1024x576 with lens-blur? I changed the setting to high and there will be no difference. On the Nexus 5 is the resolution 2046x1536.
On my girlfriends Galaxy S4 the resolution is 2046x1536 also
Pictures with lens-blur looks really bad on Moto X compare to N5 or S4

Twist gesture
There is a way with xposed and Twisty Switch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/xposed-twisty-switch-control-moto-xs-t2722112

best paid camera app
may i please know which is the best paid camera app for moto x? i installed the latest google camera and it is a waste.. i would prefer to spend a few bucks and go for a decent camera app instead of sticking to the stock app or other freeware..

Google Camera crashes for me whenever I go into settings for any shooting mode. Anyone else have this problem? I also seem to have a physically busted front facing camera, so that's likely the issue.. Love the lens blur and photosphere.

Not yet. If I could more easily root there might be a way.
I should probably look into the warranty thing, just don't want to pay $100 for an insurance replacement for an issue like this. (I don't take too many selfies, and the only people who want to video chat me want to use Facetime..)

For this reason you can select insurance replacement option..

Started working again randomly. Probably dropped it again and something popped back into place
