So I just noticed this on my TAB. Apparently, the video cam app zooms ins o you have to step pretty far back to get everything you want, and the native app has no Zoom function for you to zoom out. So annoying. I also have a XOOM and it is not the same there.
Is there an alternative video cam app I can use that will give me a wider shot of the field?
I have the same issue, if any one has any ideas please share.

Hey, someone over in the EVO forum posted the new yahoo messenger app that includes video chat from the leaked mytouch HD ROM. It appears to function using the rear camera on the vibrant.
Haven't been able to test it out fully yet cause I don't know anyone who actually uses yahoo messenger.
Hopefully someone can get this working with the FFC Mod as it should allow phone to computer video chat.

Likely the build.prop will needed edited like it does for fring & tango to work correctly with the FFC mod.
ill try it out i still use yahoo messenger
tested on vibrant.....quality sucks but it works for sure but both parties should have camera
So its only two way.
it works its a step forward thats for sure it looks like you have a option to switch cameras aswell on it
Combine this with the TV Out option and should even allow you to see the screen while you faced the rear camera toward you in a dock or something. An obvious advantage would be no computer / PC webcam needed at least.
I have tried to sign in with my screen name and my wives. The app always says that there have been too many sign in attempts and that the login from the device has been temporarily disabled.
me and my friend tried it (both with vibrant FFC Mod) after changing the build.prop and it works but doesn't seem to detect FFC. It uses the rear camera and not able to switch between front and rear cam even though I see the option to. Tango works however
Tried this yesterday between a PC and my Vibrant on 3G. Works great, but only with rear camera. Haven't done the FFC mod. Video quality is so-so, but I'm glad to have something that I can talk to my PC buddies with (still mourning the loss of Skype in Fring). The video is a plus. Can't wait for this to become a public app.
I'm taking a week of classes for work and would like to record the lectures (it is allowed) on video. While recording, I want to supplement the video with handwritten notes where appropriate. Has anyone seen an app that allows you to take notes that synchs with the video?
Thanks -
I too am in search of the perfect solution for taking lecture notes/audio/video. I've spent the last two days reading, searching, and testing apps. So far the best solution I have found is an app that will let me record audio while typing text notes (although my ATP's mic is terrible). The only solution I could come up with is to record video from my Razr and stitch the notes and video together after the class in Evernote or something similar.
I read at some point in the past two days about ICS not allowing the camera to operate in the background while using another app or when the screen turns off (tablet sleeps). I got burned on an app purchase because of this. The dev said it would still record while I did other things because the app ran as a "service". It didn't... cam stream would shut down if app wasn't active on the screen and it never would record to SD. I'm not going to name-and-shame the app here, but it seems we're both SOL for the moment. I'd sell a kidney to have an app that would allow video, external mic audio, and typed notes at the same time.
I have no idea if this will work or not, but it's worth a shot for you guys wanting this.
This is my idea:
Install "OverSkreen Browser", it's basicly an internet browser that works like a browser does on a PC, it adds a layer on top of the screen where the browser is in. So you can launch (for example) Youtube app, and have the OverSkreen browser sit on top of the YouTube app, being able to interact with both of the apps.
I do not know if this also works with the camera, but try it out
Just install the browser, set it up, launch the browser, click on home, launch the camera, press recent apps (or click the notification that comes up with overskreen browser) and click on it.
That would possibly allow you to record while also being able to take note in for example Google Docs.

Well... the good news is that the Overskreen browser actually worked. I could successfully record 720p HD video in the background while running Evernote in the Overskreen browser.
The bad news is that the web version of Evernote sucks equally well in both the stock browser and Overskreen. I will have to find another web-based note taking solution if I'm going to solve my video recording problem while taking notes. Perhaps I might try Google Docs or SpringPad. SpringPad's new interface for taking lecture notes just doesn't look like it will work though.... since it's been Pinterest-ified.
On a side note, I was able to use Gmail successfully while recording 720p video in the background using Overskreen with minimal input lag... so there is hope.
Any other suggestions on quality web-based note taking apps?
I have an app I use to take photos and it takes over the camera and flash fine and does the photo uploading for me. The problem is it doesn't allow the zoom to work in any format with the S4 zoom. Is there something I can change on the camera or is this simply a flaw in the app software that is preventing the zoom feature from working?
Someone might know of a trick but I bet it voids the warranty!
I imagine the app is designed just for camera phones in general rather than specifically for optical zoom versions as there aren't many of them around!
I've noticed that the K Zoom can't zoom in when used within Whatsapp.
What is the app you use?
The app is Provision by Vauto. I've talked to the app developers and they said it's not made to work with any zoom. It would be nice if there was a way to make it let me use the camera in its native state because the uploading feature of the app saves me a lot of desktop time copying and uploading photos from a digital camera but the quality of the pictures aren't up to par if I can't use the camera's features. I don't mind voiding the warranty on the phone if there was a way to get around it.
Thanks for the reply!
stock camera stinks, so what is best camera app to try with it?
Haven't tried it much since our camera sucks anyway, but Open Camera has lots of settings to play with.
I like Snap Camera HDR on play store
I am more put off by the slow opening speed and focusing of the stock camera app. Stock Google camera is basic but solves the problem.
I use Camera MX. I like the Live Shot option. However it takes a lot of sd card space and only you can see it. (You cannot share a Live Shot, except in the form of a video or GIF. I don't think the GIF option even works. )
Hi,
Has anyone tried the one plus camera apk on the p20 lite. I am getting noticeably better photos. Major difference being the size and sharpness of the photos and videos. The downsides would be not able to access gallery from the app and the inability to shoot portrait and slowmo. Let me know your thoughts. For the ones who would like to download it, the apk is available at apkmirror.
Thanks
Could you post some examples, maybe even the difference between photos with both camera apps? I am interested in this phone, but the camera reviews are not really positive.
And important to me: is there an option to change the picture resolution to a 16:9 aspect ratio? If yes, at what amount of megapixels is it?

Thanks for the informatio, I downloaded the app and tried with a picture of my cat and the hair looked sharper, but I had a problem and won't let me use HDR.
Anyone please upload some comparative sample pictures taken with the stock camera app and this other app.
And/or make it able to download from somewhere in the original size and quality so it is comparable in the best way.
No one?
I can pick the phone up this weekend, but I need to know/see if the pictures are better with that other app.
The ones with the stock app are not the best, so I would like to see a comparison.
The only problem with stock app is how the jpeg file is being processed. It needs to be corected as RAW files are much better in terms of quality.
I know.
But I think it is also possible/easier to have a good app that makes better pictures, even in jpg.
I use Camera FV-5 and it always gives me better quality.
That's why my question stands: please post some comparative pictures.
