Can someone with this device try the app "house party" and see if they can keep the front camera open during a video call?
If not and this is just an unfortunate bug in the app, is there a way for me to force the front camera open (via software)? I'm rooted.
Thank you in advance XDA.

Works fine for me. I'm stock

I was thinking maybe if there's an exploit which can fool 3rd party softwares such as fring and future skype so that it doesn't search for front camera but it rather uses the back camera. This way atleast even if you don't use the back camera of defy you'll be able to see the other person...so what do you think? anyone up for making something which can enable this function?
That would be a good idea, you could carry a make-up mirror too and maybe reflect the rear camera to the front ;-)
I mean, it's an idea but of course if an expert doesn't have a look at this thread, this will be a waste..
Yahoo and ooVoo work dandy with rear camera.
i thought fring already did that too
I use Tango its on the market free
I've used fring, and no it doesn't use rear camera...none of those apps use rear camera...not sure about tango if you can do video call with it using defy?
yahoo do use back camera. just tested it last night.

Thanks
For some reason starting a few days ago my camera just does NOT work. It won't save any pictures, front or back camera. Videos do not work at all either. It says it took a picture, but viewing it from a computer or via Gallery shows a corrupted 1mbish file. I even restored back to the stock rom and while it did fix the BACK CAMERA PICTURE taking, the front camera and the Video taking causes the app to just close on me. I have a catlog of what happens when a video is attempted to be recorded. I have NO idea what the heck is wrong. I restored my whole phone to the original ROM and back, and I even formatted the SD card various times. I tried another SD card and I had the same results. Is my phone broken? Why does it work with custom apps and Skyping (etc) even work.

Have you tired a diffident camera application out of curiosity? Perhaps it will help. If it's not the SD card maybe it's the camera application. If a new application doesn't work then the camera mechanism itself is likely broken somehow. But do try another camera application. You can flash one from here or get one from play store. It is a experiment to see if the camera mechanism itself is broken. Hopefully the new camera app will work. I wish you the best. Hope this helps you out.

Yeah, depending on the app it will take pictures. The stock has always worked for me.. why is it broken now?
Just curious if there is an app that uses the infrared camera (for the iris scanner)?
The iris scanner has a fixed focal range, you can't focus with it as the focus is fixed, so it would be pointless even if there was an app!

You can use service menu (dial *#0*#) and there is an iris camera test, gonna close after a few seconds, but you can check it out.
Yeah i checked it out and it disappears fast. It would be fun to take a selfie on total darkness, if there is a way to take pictures lol.
I'm just looking for this too. I tried it and can see things farther than 1m clearly. so it would have some fun uses if there's an app could do that.
Anyone else knows if there's a way to access the camera regardless if its pointless or not?

Did you find an app?
I am aware this is an old thread, but I'm interested in an app like that too
There is actually an app
If u check latest Steve Mould youtube video he shows how this app called Open Camera can open the IR camera. It may or may not work (he was using a Google pixel 4)
Looking for a working Google camera APK for my razer ,would love one with portrait mode possible .also any other apps that utilise the potential that the razer camera as the razer camera is terribly in my option

I used the one in this telegram group and its working great if you check under shared files the one on the top is the one I got. Its absolutely brilliant but use at your own risk as usual.

Just adding my voice to this. Works great. I didn't have to add any mods or hacks to get this working like some of the other camera mods took. Very pleased.

Hi guys, hope this helps. I started using the Footej Camera from Google play. I found it loads better than any modes or apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.footej.camera
Anyone figured any working gcam 5.1 for razer? Bsg 1.4a is the only one with proper dng for raw but no exposure settings
I can't seem to get the front camera to work. Anyone else have this issue?
Anything later than
"MGC-5.1.018_FullManual_v1.4a_Android-7.0+"
working for Razer Phone "1"? Seen some for Razer 2 but thats the only one that works for me

You cannot I'm afraid ,hardware signatures are different. You can replace the rear camera though, it isn't difficult.
