Mk809iii and webcam logitech dark - Android Stick & Console Computers General

Hi everybody
I have an android stick mk809iii and I want to use it with skype
I have a webcam logitech c270 which I have heard is fully compatible with such devices, but I found out that the the image is too dark, almost -2 stop exposure
In the camera app I can increase sensitivity in order to see the image, but in skype I can't.... Is there any tweak to solve this problem?

Infrared monitor programs?

I want to fix a broken TV remote with an intermittent fault, is there a simple program just to monitor the Infrared port of my XDAIIi of any signals? I thought of using some type of TV remote program but to constantly put it in to the learning mode would make the whole process of repairing my remote a pain. I need the program to just sit there all the time giving me a indiacation of any recieved signals. Any ideas?
Cheers
I think there is a simpler and more convinient way:
Do you have a video camera, digital stills camera or even a web-cam? I think anything with a CCD or similar sensor will do.
I don't know of any program that might help you, but I know monitoring IR for real time signal on devices that don't support CIR is a problem which is why most remote control appsm like Vito remote only support certain devices.
Does XDAIIi support CIR standard?

I don't if the XDAIIi supports CIR standard! If have a kodak digital stills camra...
Haven't you ever tried pointing the remote at the camera and looking at the display? For some reason, CCD sensors show infrared as white lite...
It works both with my old Sony video camera and Olympus digital stills camera. You can see the led light up as if it were a regular lightbulb, even in daylight and with the red plastic cover still on.
This should be perfect for your purpose.

I haven't tried that before but i will tonight!!
Cheers for that.
Hi, i tried it out on the camra on my XdaIIi on does what you said, cheers!
At last a use for the crappy XdaIIi camra!
Glad it works for you!
I just remembered that they used to sell Sony video cameras (around 98 I think) with infrared light built in for shooting in the dark. It was pretty neat, since you could see everything through the camera like 'night vision' yet others couldn't see you. Also you could by a separate light for models that didn't have the built in option (like mine).

Is there a way to use the HDMI out as an AV in?

Hi fellas,
I fly FPV and I wanted to use my Infuse to record the AV footage by splitting the video cable which goes to my monitor to my hdmi chord/dongle for the infuse.
The AV equipment has low resolution 640x480 if I'm lucky.
Would this idea work? There is no audio as my transmitter does not have a mic but If I could use a screen capture software on my phone to record my flights that would be fantastic. Is this possible? To use the HDMI dongle as an AV in to stream live video on my phone (assuming there is an app) basically using my phone as a DVR.
Thanks for any helpful response.
no but it would be cool to use a transmitter as reciever.... I mean if a PC needs a dedicated video capture device rather than the monitor-out going both ways then why would a cell phone be likely to work like that? if USB hosting gets figured out in the kernel and a USB video capture device was used the sure but the mhl is a 1 way device as far as anyone knows.
you may as well get a laptop and usb video capture card then copy the file to the phone.
Guess the laptop is as good as any it's a shame though
The transmitter that I was talking about is the transmitter on the aircraft transmitting the image which is being viewed on a monitor
I destroyed my gopro in a crash so I was looking for alternate solutions without having to buy anything as I am dirt poor
thanks a lot for your input

[Q] Is there another app like soundwire, that uses bluetooth?

Hi,
I found out about the soundwire app in an old thread here on XDA; basically soundwire does one thing - it captures the soundcard and streams it to your droid, with fairly low latency. It does a very good job of this and for music and maybe certain types of games it works, but for video any type of lag is simply unacceptable.
My question for the guru's is: Can you somehow connect a pc and an android phone with bluetooth, so that the android streams audio from the PC? Perhaps using this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Advanced_Audio_Distribution_Profile_.28A2DP.29
thanks!
I used soundwire yesterday and it was perfect
Hi I used soundwire yesterday night when I was watching movie.
I found a little trick by which sound will come in sync with video perfectly.
Just try to change audio input in soundwire server in your pc for two or three times. Somehow lag between sound and video will come in sync perfectly.
This method works always.
I watched Hugo yesterday and it was perfect and nobody got disturbed as headphone was connected to my galaxy note.

Q: bluetooth headset for video recording.

Does anyone know of a way for the camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio? Or any other cheap wireless mic solution that will work with on an android phone and doesn't require recording audio and video separately? Thanks

If you connect your BT headset it still records from it's normal mic?

Yes. The camera app only records from the internal mic. I really need a wireless solution that allows me to have the microphone several meters away to record the sound. I could only find wired solutions and they were not even for android.
I think I've got it!
so, I've been trying to do this exact same thing for about a week now, and I think I've got it. with the help of some random people on the internet.
it seems this is actually a two part problem.
1) get the device to recognize the bluetooth microphone (from a headset or other bluetooth wireless device).
2) get the audio into a video recording.
it seems that android and an OS is not readily prepared to do either of these, and the built in video recorder cannot use audio from a source other than the devices built-in microphone.....so....we have to improvise a little.
First, we will need to get android to play nice with the bluetooth device. start by installing a free little app called "bt mono" you can find it on the google play store.
once installed you will need to run this any time you want to use your bluetooth device in a way other than as a phone.
on a side note, this works great for listening to music via a bluetooth headset.
second you will need a video recorder that can take the audio input that bt mono gives you. so, run back over to the google play store and get "lgCamera"
the only thing you have to do now is tell lgCamera that you want to use the "microphone" as the audio source.
thats it. you now have a video recorder on your phone/tablet that will use "almost" any bluetooth device as the audio input.
I have this exact set up on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1.0 rooted, and it works perfectly. I am not sure if this works with unrooted devices, though I don't see why it wouldn't. hope this helps anyone who's been dredging the depths of the interwebs!
very special thanks to david hadaller and to Warren Barton for the breakdown and links!

You are right! Tks!
Hi bud...
did you find any solution-for phone camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio?
i looking for same too Sam.Note4 but no luck so far
Yes. lgCamera and BT Mono works on android. It properly records the video from the phone and the audio captured from my Nokia HS-3W Bluetooth Headset.
Tested with Sony Ericsson LT18i.
Cinema FV-5 has a setting for audio source, and BT works
The only problem - 'cinema fv-5' doesn't seem to utilize the front camera, only the main one.
(can't post the link, search on play store for 'cinema fv-5')
Hello. I kinda worked for 3 secs then it automatically switch back to internal mic.
I have level u headphone and note 5. Is is there anyway to make it stay?
is there any solution that we could hack the OS to make external Bluetooth Mic recognised by the native video camera app in the android phone? its so silly that if you try for example "Open Camera" app from play store the external mic works fine. But i am interested to use the native Camera app for video recordings
any thoughts or feedback will be much appreciated!!
Cinema FV-5 Front Camera
To utilize the front camera on Cinema FV-5 swipe from Left to Right.
If you swipe the left menu bar to the right it will switch to the front camera.
This is documented NO WHERE in the user manual. I found it when I purchased the Camera FV-5 app. On a pop-up instructional screen it said to swipe the left menu bar from left to right to engage the front camera. The photo camera version also has an icon on the right menu bar that switches the photo camera to the front camera but there is no icon nor instructions for the video camera.
It works. Cinema FV-5 works excellently with any bluetooth headset to record audio on video from the BT headset. Just make sure to have the BT headset connected before you open Cinema FV-5 or there may be connection issues to the app.
These are some of the videos that use audio from the BT headset around my neck.
The videos are on YouTube, just paste the ending part below at the end of YouTube.com i.e. /endingpart

An in-ear headset is actually clearer and I've just switched to that type of BT headset but I don't have any of those uploaded at the time of this posting..
UPDATE: Although the swipe left to right will switch to the front camera, the BT audio does not work with the front camera, only the rear camera. Perhaps Cinema FV-5 will fix this with a future update.
Hi guys, we could manage this function through the btmono app, up to version 8. Today, we are at 11 and the situation has not changed .. They say for safety but I cannot give up this solution and I remain at 8.
Do you guys who got this to work with BT Mono and lgCamera have a link to the playstore lgCamera app? I searched it but could not find it. Thanks!

I also do not find it on playstore. Probably it is outdated. I can only see it on apkpure https://m.apkpure.com/lgcamera/rubberbigpepper.lgCamera

[Android] Any way to select a standard microphone? (External DIY USB-C Mic)

Hey all,
i've built a "custom" microphone for my GF. She sometimes does livestreams or sings in private and until now recorded everything with her (really ****ty) smartphone mic.
The mic gets connected via the USB-C Port. It works if she's using whatsapp, but as soon as the camera is involved like the camera app (duh..) and instagram where she does her crochet streams it does not work.
In the settings there is no way of selecting a standard micrphone and i'm thorugh most of the threads i've found while looking for a solution.
Is there an app or any workaround to select the standard mic for every app?
Its a POCO F1 with Android 10.
Thanks alot!
