Would it be possible through software update or custom rom / kernel to enable Auto Focus while recording video?
It's not the end of the world if we can't enable it, just curious. makes video of anything close pretty much useless.
I have noticed that autofocus does work when the software supports it.
For instance, Tango (video and voice calls) focuses automatically during a video call.
Also there's this software called lgCamcorder which supports autofocus while recording. But it doesn't work on our phone. Is there a way we can get this to work on our phones?

Just as the title says, does any of the current video chat apps work with the SGSII front facing camera?
Apps like: Fring, Tango, Qik Connect, oovoo ?
Your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Fring works for me on the test call, just installed to test
Just trying Tango
Dickie
Cant test Tango without contacts to make call, but Qik works after Menu>Switch Cameras on the record option...
I think its safe to assume all is good with the FFC!!
Dickie.
Thanks so much for checking.
VERY curious on Tango as this is the main app i use for video calling but it is good to know that Fring and Qik both work with the FFC
Anything with Skype? I am sure they will be adding the support soon. Hopefully if it doesn't cause any conflicts with their BS exclusivity with Verizon.

How did you get Qik to work properly? It works but my image is upside down..? Also, where did you see option to switch camera in the menu in Qik.?
UPDATE: Found the setting your talking about but its in video share. By changing that, will it display me right side up in the video chat part of Qik?
Does this phone support video calling natively? Or can I install an app from the market or use a Custom ROM to enable this feature?
no front cam=no video call. Same sadness here too! :'(
But there are some apps which support back camera for video, i think you should check out Ovoo app,try googling it!

I wanted to get a budget phone for my mother so that we could video / audio chat and now with both of having 3G I was looking for an option for Video Calls as well..
I came across the perfect phone! Motorola Fire XT530.. got it at an amazing price of 12.2K along with loads of free accessories.
I am a happy man today!
Is it possible to record video call WITHOUT using skype and gtalk. Save into 3gp format...? is it necessary to root my device to enable the recording function? Any reply would be much appreciated...
Cheers
Doubt it. Definitely doable with Skype. Why not use that ?

I check out my friend i9100's gallery got recorded our video call. The video in 3gp file save as the name as "VT2011-12-18 13.15.47.3gp". That's definitely the date and time of our video call session. Make a google search and come out with no luck... He forgot already which custom rom using at that time. Very unfortunate...
Recording video call that I just mentioned earlier either my friend using Rarity ROM or Criskelo ROM. But try V38 criskelo ROM cannot record video call. So any idea 3rd party apps yet have the best quality for Video Call? Skype? gtalk? Tango? Fring? which one is the best and no upside down image? Any suggestion?? Huhu...
any program or method to record video call from skype on my galaxy s ii
Well, ive tried recording tango video calls with screencast, z screen recorder and display recorder.
None have worked as I'd hope. I just get black screens or broken image on my xt875.
tried forcing gpu rendering. still nothing
no option to disable hardware overlay on mine. hmm
waiting for a solution.
Do you know if GS3 is able to pause a video recording and resume in a second time?
It's a killer feature for me (that even a 5 years old nokia can handle..)

i dont see samsung that much innovative when it comes to their camera app. I think you still need lg camera app to pause/resume recording. Ill be the one among the happy men if this feature comes true
I agree. All these ideas/requests... I hope the OpenDesign team implements them. They are taking suggestions for some kind of feature pack for CM9.
the SGS1 had all of these features, as well as adjusting sharpness and saturation in the camera.. the year before on their Omnia HD, they had all of these and you could take slow motion video, fast video, and had an iso of 1600. every year the camera gets worse.. well be lucky if this new one even has video recording...

Umbeliveable..
The manual did not make mention of pausing while recording, but it did mention that you can change focus while already recording by tapping where you want to focus.
So my question about touch-to-focus while recording is confirmed? I sure hope so.
New Corean JB ROM has got the Pause/Resume during recording video!!!
Now finger crossed for Global JB ROM!!
Any news on Poland Rom version?
Hello guys, what is the best GCam port for the Motorola Edge 40 Pro? If there is one, where can I download it? Thank you in advance
FYI I tested a lot of GCams 8.8.224 (the latest version as of now) and the only cam that doesn't crash is the Shamim SGCAM_8.8.224.10_STABLE_V9FIX. I will keep it becauseyesterday I was at a live concert and the stock camera microphone is a total mess (every video that I made has the audio extremely distorted, while the instagram camera doesn't have this problem, but the video are ****ty).
There are a few problems tho:
1- it is extremely slow when you click every button
2- without touching any settings, pictures and videos are worst than the stock camera
Let me know if that version works for you, and if so, which setting do you use to improve the camera quality!

Tried what you recommended but that gcam had too many problem. 4k 60fps recording just hangs never actually enabling. I'm satisfied with the camera, just wasn't happy with the speed it takes photos.

Have you tried to record a concert with the stock camera? You would get a super distorted audio (with every other camera app i don't have this problem). For now I keep it just to record live concert, but I know it has a lot of problems unfortunately

I don't go to concerts lol. Everything I've filmed has been fine on my end audio wise, I work in a relatively loud environment and the mic holds up about as well as any other phone.
