[Q] front camera mirror accessory

I've been looking around for a wile now and can seem to only find two devises.
Onemoreface which isn't even being manufactured yet. And, one for the iphone.
Has anyone tested the iphone one on their G2? Also, does anyone know of any other accessories that would work?
Thanks in advance,
Groboto

I was thinking about this the other day and thought about building something, which would probably end up looking really ghetto.
Do you have a link to the iphone one? I would love something like this for my phone.

It only goes to show how insensitive HTC became when they were designing the G2 & DZ to leave out the front camera.
Had I fully explored the DZ, I probably would have given it a miss for not having a front-facing camera like the one on the TP2; I took it as a given.

I'll get that iSnapMe when i get my Z and test it out for you Although Onemoreface does look nicer Infact i wrote an article about that this morning lol

[Q] got 2 Inspire 4gs. one seems a scam

I had a inspire 4g for a while, obtained directly from an AT&T store; I got another one for my brother a couple of weeks later in EBAY.
I wanted to give him the old one and keep the new one.
Once I had them side by side I notices irregularities:
1.
the brightness (with manual settings all the way to 100) on the Screen seemed different, the EBAY one had a little less brightness on it, the older one also seemed to have better contrast so you see some details. the color quality is different, the EBAY one seems to have a more yellowish screen toning where the Older one has a blueish coloring (colder).
2.
my dissapointment grew higher when I test the cameras and got totally different results. EBAY("NEW") seems to have a give grannier results on photos and videos. the output videos where bigger and seemed smoother on the OLD phone. video bitrate and kbps on audio where lower on the 'newone'.
3.
the metal on the housing for the EBAY phone gets scratches easier (by far) than the Old AT&T.
Other than that the phone seems ok, all works fine.
my questions are:
what could cause this? refurbished phone? bad parts? RADIO? ROM(Froyo/gingerbread)? any ideas on a possible fix?
is this really a ripoff? a refurbished phone with crappy parts (camera, body housing and LCD)?
Anyone with similar experiences? should I return it?
as a side note one had the stock froyo rom(EBAY), the other one the updated gingerbread rom(, so I'm not sure if that may cause .

About a year and a half ago, I got a counterfeit HTC Magic off ebay. It had similar discrepancies. Bland LCD, low res camera, but otherwise looked stock.
I did a search, but got no hits for "counterfeit [inspire][desirehd]" and I don't thing that would be an easy one to fake, so I really doubt that that is the case, but I can't think of anything else.

Return it... First impressions are the best impressions... If you're not happy with it now, you won't be happy with it later...

Blurry camera

I just want to start off by saying , YES i know there are multiple threads about the G5 and having the main camera not focus. I found that if i shook my phone, that eventually it would focus. Most people seem to fix this problem by replacing the camera. So i went ahead and bought one from ifixit, and when it arrived, the camera was DOA. They sent me another and after 1 day, the same thing happened. The phone refused to focus. So they sent me another replacement and the same thing. It wouldn't focus. They agreed to refund me. I then bought one from ebay and after installing it today, IT DOES NOT FOCUS. I have checked/cleaned the lens area , so no there are no smudges. There is 1 scratch but it does not cover the lens itself. The secondary camera has about 3-4 scratches that cover the lens, but that camera has no problem focusing. Does anyone have any ideas? I have had this phone for over a year, and apart from this issue it has been bullet proof(ignoring the screen retention problem that seem to also affect phones like the s7). I love it so much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not going to help much but I'm in the same boat. I can hear the camera rattling when I shake it, and with my original camera, the focus mechanism trying to to its thing. Tried a few ebay ones labeled as "New" and got ones that are pulled from old phones and won't even try to focus or simply not work at all. I would think that ifixit you wouldv'e had the best luck with and thats pretty disappointing to hear because I was hoping pony up and just go with them next. All I've heard is that you just have to keep trying until you get one that works, then be super careful with it. Kinda sucks, at least we have the wide angle though and thats what I use most of the time for actual pictures but most apps only go through the regular camera.

I am at a lost on what to do. Its so frustrating. The wide angle camera is nice, but not as a main camera. I have to zoom and crop quite a bit since I use Fb messenger(which kills quality) and the wide angle is such a hassle. I literally gave up. I'm tired of "trying" other ones. I really don't know what to do. I guess I either live with it or, sell it for cheap, then buy a s7.

360 photos cutting off at bottom?

Is anyone else having this issue? My pictures from the 360 camera sometimes cut off the bottom 20-40% of the image, leaving just a big black circle when viewed.
I'm already debating whether or not to return the phone for a refund since getting a warranty replacement for the missing earpiece mesh is like pulling teeth. If the camera accessory isn't going to be reliable either I'm going to call the whole thing a failure and move on to the MI Mix 2.

Not on mine. Your's seems to have a problem.

Probably. Doesn't matter, I wrote Essential to start a return today. Going to go for the Mi Mix 2 or wait for the Pixel XL 2, and buy a USB-C 360 cam - there are a couple on Amazon that technically have lower resolution but reviewer photos look pretty good.

love the phone, hate the camera

I cannot put this beautiful phone down. My desktop background pops so much that it looks like I printed a picture and glued it to my screen. It is amazingly fast and responsive.. I am a little worried about scratching the ceramic back. Sure, it might be stronger than aluminum, but is it more scratch resistant too?
My only big gripe is with the camera, I have about 11 more days until I can return this to BB, and if the camera software doesn't upgrade and make this as good as my previous Nexus 6P camera, I will sadly have to return it to BB. Why isn't HDR default? Why does the flash always default to "on", even after turning it off?
When will the green model launch? That thing is sexy as hell and might be easier to find in a dark room.. I have never owned a phone other than black or gray before. But that might be my first.

Try the Google Camera port for now and if you still don't like it return it

If I'm counting correctly the 27th will be 14 days since I got this phone from Sprint... which is judgement day for me. Decisions... Decisions..

The google camera port basically makes the camera a non-issue for me. I still use stock for the monochrome photos though but seriously, just use your flash for low light photos and problem solved
