Front facing cam

Has anyone figured out how to enable the ff cam? Where can I get the drivers?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

There is no front facing cam...do your research...

There is no Front Facing camera. What you see on the front are the light sensor and proximity sensors.

seriously? please have a clue about the phone you are using befor asking questions like this

Ha ha, that is a sensor bud. Your captivate will never have a front facing camera but you will not be last person to start a thread just like this and you were not the first person either so don't feel too bad.

Maybe get a webcam with microUSB connector, some tape, and the USB driver to turn the phone into a USB. Then all you need is a driver on the phone and you are all set.
It might not fit in your pocket.

Open any application that would access the camera
Use phone backwards
There you go forward facing camera

or if u can develop some sort of mirror system, attach it to the back camera, and use reflections as the image...

Problem Solved!
Here you go, the diagram is for the iPhone 3G but I assume it will fix your problem ha.

I used a highly reflective metal but it worked for me

A guy I work with helped design this thing for the iPhone.
http://www.isnapme.com/

based on measurements, that should work.
Although, I hope you have something to use to suction it against

now they need one for our phone and we good to go!

tim that's really cool. I'd buy.
i really dont know why they dont put the camera on a swivel so you can flip it around. No need for extra hardware, and its convenient for taking all sorts of pics.

At least one person here is nice to another. It seems whenever something like this is posted people crucify the OP. Nice to see a little kindness.

The crucification is because the OP didn't search or do any basic fact checking.
Start a new thread and ask how you can unlock your phone......

oohh thats a good idea, I've been wondering how to do that for weeks!!

People who get worked up on an internet message board should probably go outside and get some fresh air...

Or the fact that it's painfully obvious that it's not a camera. Other than that, the simple logic that a feature such as a forward facing camera, if there, would be something advertised to counter Facetime or at least turned on in the FW if the obvious CCD was there.

What do you think? Real or ?!

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says

I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this

one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased

But "what if" that is not a connector?

any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors

what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

but check again samsung video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oM9RO-GAKjE
they are on the power button side

The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.

i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything

why don't you take a few shots and post here to see those posters

The curve is probably pretty subtle like on the Nexus S. Those blue lines in the teaser really exaggerated the curves

Guys, i come from Hong Kong.
I can't believe Google hold this event in here LOL

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.

It's real.

Comparison.

It's actually japanese.

is that chrome around the phone
if so yuck
still want though

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48
I think the phone is too long... =T

GooseWhite QI-ELF 1A QI charger for $25 + tax

Here is the Amazon link
http://www.amazon.com/GooseWhite-Po...1RS2KAEN60CZP&qid=1377203998&s=generic&sr=1-5
I just ordered it, I will post a review once I get it...I like how it looks in the pictures, and it seems to be possibly better than the China branded ones from Ebay or Amazon....so we shall see...
here's the Amazon pictures until i have actual ones

so in about a week or so i'll post the review and actual pictures
i figured since the 3 people who ordered their other Qi charger were satisfied that i would give this one a shot...it's a decent price and i like the looks...and it has a buzzer as well as an LED to let you know when it's done charging

Let us know how this one pans out.
I bought one of the DT-900's (on sale).. it worked great for 2 days.. and I haven't been able to get it to work since with my N4 (still works fine with my N7).

Only thing that really interests me on this one is the 1A charge, seems like that would definitely be on the high end for Qi chargers.

All of those pictures are CGI. I would wait for real photographs.

man, another circle wireless charger? Why do they keep making these? Phones are not made in the shape of circles.

Yeah, that's why I got it, I'm hoping it actually IS what it says it is

I´ve just got it. Looks nice and works well, BUT it plays a moderately loud sound when you put your nexus to charge. This is very annoying because i use it when i go to sleep and awakes my wife.
Obviously i am not going to risk my marriage for an iq charger Anyone knows how to disable the sound? I´ve opened it, but i´ve found no buzzer in the circuit. I don´t mind breaking the buzzer if needed.

Pressy - the Almighty Android Button!

I'm excited about this. It's an additional programmable hardware button for android that connects to your headphone jack. This isn't my Kickstarter project, but I'm a backer. Check it out:

It looks nice and all but in the end, it's nearly the same as having an NFC tag on your keychain and scanning it even though it seems to offer some more possibilities. The real problem is that it takes the earphones port so you can't listen to your music while you use it.
Also, how do you remove it ?

I just want to know whether the phone needs to be 'unlocked' in order to access these functions. Say i want to take a photo, can i just whip out the phone and click it or do i need to unlock my phone (enter password) first? I wonder...
I saw that you can do it with the screen off so ill back it. seems cool enough
EDIT: so I asked the creator and he said it works when phone is locked with a pin. cool! i might get two now...

How about if you use a bumper or slim case ?...I emailed him and didn't get a reply yet...

Can you plug headphones into it? It'll fit. Whether it becomes too recessed to press easily or not, who knows. Depends on the phone/case.

Still not sure if I love this idea or hate it. The only button I could really see on my phone as useful would be for the cam but would depend on how that button works with my case.
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!

They're shipping in March, only $27. I might just have to order one (Not affiliated, just sharing the info).
http://get.pressybutton.com/

Fascinating, I want one, but not sure if I really need one
I think virtually all cases will need have the speaker jack hole expanded, since I think this will have to sit a millimetre higher, and another millimeter wider than the hole itself. Also, you need to get your finger onto it!
Some DIY needed.

This is another awesome Israeli product

Looks very nice. I wonder how it goes with cases.
Did someone tried it already?

I nearly backed this project, but the only thing I could think of what I'd use it for is for the camera, but you can already use the volume rocker to take a picture.

$27 for a "button"... no ty, actually my headphones can do that

mmmm yeah ear phone jack not nice, now if it was bluetooth.....

I backed this early. For me, I don't want my power button to wear out as much so this is perfect for me. The gestures are nice touch as well.

Yep. It's called Klick and is under $5 delivered here http://www.dx.com/p/3-5mm-plug-shortcut-key-for-android-phone-silver-315648#.U2DYX3k_70x. I've ordered a couple to see how useful they are. It would be awesome to see some app development for these...

I already have doubletap2wake and slide2sleep, so I never use my power button, but this one is $20+ cheaper than "pressy" and also seems better crafted

Does anybody have an app for pressy or any copy of pressy?

Bad quality glass cover

Today i found the hard way about how cheap the back glass is.
There were parts where there was visible gap and lots of dust inside and today while the phone heated up...the glass came off...
Thinking about simply putting it back with some double sided tape....or making clear back
EDIT: xda dont want me to upload picture so here it is

I examined mine thoroughly, after reading your issue, no gaps till now.

No gap on mine either.

Do the cameras wiggle a little bit ? Can you check if they have OIS, because there is conflicting info about this. Although I suppose if Xiaomi's not flaunting it, there's no OIS. But if you could still check, that'd be great !

Is this the zoom edition ? I know there are at least two levels of wiggling : autofocus, which should be just moving the lens closer or further from the sensor, and OIS, moving the sensor/lenses parallel to the plane of the phone, at least.

It looks great ! I dont want to void my warranty but I might do a clear mod when the warranty runs out.
Do you need the plastic cover over the motherboard, or could we do without ?

It's normal Poco f2 Pro, and I think it's moving the whole lens.
I think you can do it without the plastic cover...I just removed some stickers...didn't want to mess with it much.
