Ok so I have used the camera manager on the Gear 2 to take photos using the phone's camera while viewing on the watch. Is anyone familiar with possibly reversing this function so we could see the Gear 2's camera on the phone and take pictures through it? Its difficult to near impossible to take a photo if you're holding the phone at the same time, but if you were to be able to use the phone to view the Gear's camera, you could just point your wrist and use the phone to snap the photo. Anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks!
When using snapchat the pop up camera plays wack-a-mole while navigating menus and such... (opening and closing constantly)
Does anyone know if it's possible in general to lock the camera with another app or a mod? I don't want to stress the lifespan of the popup camera.
It would also be a super useful security feature as I've found the pop-up camera coming up when on Instagram and not even in the camera...

Go as if your going to take a picture and switch to the rear camera. Once you do this it will always think you're using the rear cam and stop the front camera from popping up when I'm camera mode.
Yes, just default to the rear camera...

Hi. I have PX3 unit and want to connect rear and front camera ( Front only for parking), and i have problems....
So rear camera connected to : CCD AV in and to "back" and working fine when im switch to rear gear its opens automaticly in AVIN app.
But problem is front camera. I enable "front camera" in factory settings. Also enable DVR as CVBS., and switch to front camera after reverse.
And here problems starts.
I have 2 yellow RCA connectors in my unit: Video IN and DR-V
If i put it on Video IN i can open AVIN app and i can see front camera view , and black screen in DVR app
If i put it on DRV connector, i see front camera in DRV app and black screen in AVIN
But when i switch to reverse gear and then put front gear ( enabled switch to front camera after reverse) i see only yellow sign.
Its annoying to swich always to AVIN app cuz its mute radio and i neet to turn it on again after close AVIN
I have app "F-cam" but there is only black screen with yellow sign. Is there some option to usee only this app for rear and front camera? As there is button to switch cameras and it would be nice....
Pls help me guys to solve that problem... Many thx !
EDIT: hmmm i cant add images ;/ i've made album : https://ibb.co/album/fhm4wF

Hello just joined for tech support.
[Mod Moved to MTCD], your unit is probably an MTCD. Use CAM In on Connector K, and if that doesnt work, contact your reseller.

Only front camera or both? And for front camera use Video in or DR-v ?
EDIT: CAM in - is used by rear cam
Connector K - 3V output no matter what so i think its not correct cable to connect...
And i dont have free cables more... So F-cam app dont work at all... Rear cam induct AVIN screen, and nothing working for F-cam app i lost my hope...
I will ask my question, because eventually it may have a solution by changing the rom (as shown here).
So it's like this: I have an Isudar, in my car Mercedes w203 (2002), with android 7.1.2. It's working ... well.
Of course, I was left without the radio station ID, the dashboard instead shows a dash, and pressing the non-nude station switch button for the next preset station starts the search for another station. Apart from that it satisfies.
As I knew I could have other kind of elements added, I started installing a sim card to have Internet (although 3G), but it satisfies and I already put a reversing camera, no problem and it is working. But when trying to attach a front camera the question arose.
One of the cameras I bought, via USB, is not recognized by the system, but recognizes the application built into the camera which once installed continues to say that "there is a problem plugging in the USB plug" and / or the SD built into the camera. I searched the net and saw some that gave, but with radios of other brands, or with cameras of other brands, but more expensive, which I do not risk buying, because of the uncertainty of its operation.
If i connect the camera to my phone, no problem, install the app and show the image, record and that's fine. The difference is that on the mobile phone the connection is made by OTG (USB to micro USB) and the image is very good. In the car, with the connection made and the application open, the SD will record - with a non-current date (maybe the date of manufacture) - and show the movies with some quality.
With this camera was not for me I ordered another to connect in the rear of the radio via RCA plugs. And, only an application that comes on the radio (DVR) allows image if it is connected to RCA CVBS, but does not allow any recording. I will add photos to know if the reported problem can be solved without touching the software installed at the factory or if it will only be solved by installing a new ROM and, if so, if the radio has the proper specifications.
In advance, I am very grateful.
Hello fellas,
so I have this idea... I want to mount my main galaxy S10 on a tall tripod and then hold a second older android phone and use it as a viewfinder.
I wanna see myself on that older phone screen, how I look and then hit some in app remote shutter button, so my main phone with good camera will take a photo of me. Do you guys know any app that does this? I assume phones could be connected on a wifi with eatch other.
I am using LG Q6+ (LG-M700DSK) Android 8.1.0 'V20c-IND-XX'.
Its a decent phone for daily use & maps for driving & I plug it to the car charger. But the issue is the camera. Its seems to be 13MP, but picture quality is crap. Especially outdoor, its shaky & low light is horrible. The default software was bad, open camera is better. But the camera via whatsapp is just bad, seems like its using the default software.. So, I take a picture with open camera & send it via whatsapp instead of using the camera via whatsapp.
Its a decent phone and I dont want to just upgrade it for the camera alone. So, is there anyway I can improve the camera? update the driver/firmware? Does changing the ROM help the camera?
