Endoscope camera with M20P? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all
I've tried a couple of endoscope cameras with the Mate 20 Pro (Micro USB to USB-C converter) but none of them seem to work. They don't seem to power the camera on at all.
Is this a general thing with the phone or have I just tried the wrong camera?
Cheers.

I have the same issue. The same camera works on my Pixel One, just not on this phone.

I've tried 2 different cameras, neither of them are picked up by the M20P, no matter what app I use

What camera are you using? Got a link to it?

Works on my Mate 20 pro too using the 'AN98' app .
Problem that people have appear to me to be two fold :
1) Some adapters to USB C do not work as should. Mu camera has USB micro B plug, and I bought two adapters, one original Huawei which worked both when on phone and on PC , the other adapter (a 'Goobay') worked fine when using on PC , but on the phone it couldn't even turn on camera light on. I don't know what the adapter problem is but it's there.
2) Most 'OTG' Endoscope camera software appear to work only with prior Android OS, and do not work with the one on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro , more of the Apps recognized that a camera were plugged in but had a black screen...
From what I have been able to understand then the software problem has to do with something called 'com.mainActivity.App' either in the software or on the phone..
When starting the AN98 App it has a black screen and gives a popup at start saying that the com.mainActivity.App may not work, then after that another popup asks that one 'allow the com.mainActivity.App to access the USB device' , and when that is granted then suddenly the AN98 App shows picture and works just fine - in fact it is the only app that my camera works with so far on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro.
The camera works just fine with other Apps on an older OS on Samsung Galaxy 5 !!!

I have an endoscope camera and also found the apps were the main issue. The camera works, leds light up but most apps just didn't show a picture. Try some till you get one that will work.

Custom programmed Smart Controller

Got my Mate 10 Pro two days ago and been trying to programm IR Blaster for my setup box but when i "code" it with my remote it does not work (it works just fine with preset settings for my TV). No ir light at all (tested with another phones camera).
Any ideas how to programm it ? Should i maybe use another app ?
Thanks
Yeah same issue with my Sony TV and aircon works fine but my surround sound won't register, even when learning via the remote. Worked fine on my old LG phone IR. I'm also looking for a new app, bit of a shame as I prefer integrated app instead of 3rd party.
I'm having the same problem. Preset controls work fine but custom don't. The bad thing is that Anymote I've been using on my old Note 3 and also worked on P10 plus is not working on Mate 10 pro. Did anyone find some app or workaround to make the custom ir learning function to work? As eg. long press that I need to turn on my Panasonic TV is not working in most applications and it also doesn't work in the Pre-installed SmartController
Same with my mate 10 pro. Very limited remote control selection for built-in app. Custom remote not working even though i tried different techniques in programming keys. My xiaomi mi5 had better remote control features than this and it sucks coz the remote function is one of the main reason why I picked this phone. Now I feel like i just bought an iphone.
Has anyone been able to make a working custom remote?I haven't been able to copy any of my remotes from tvs,STB's to AV tools. If you got it to work can you share which phone,ROM version,app you are using?thanks
Anymote
For anymote to work with Huawei mate 10 pro need to change in settings advanced to alternative Ir code
Same for me Firmware B125 )
does it work ?

You got it to work with AnyMote ? free version ?
I got this msg
Error
Unfortunately your phone/tablet does not support IR commands learning.
This is a hardware limitation that cannnot be resolved through software
Same here on the Mate 10 Pro... any ideias ?
do you guys test galaxy universal remote app? I am using this in mate 9 and working OK, make one test for see, I understand the models phone are diferents.
As stated, enabling alternative IR code makes Anymote work, but forget about using learning function with it: Huawei just didn't release the needed API to third part devs.
As for the native app's learning function, I was able to succesfully program custom remotes for 2 devices, and it works fine. But in another case, while I was able to program the signal from the device's remote, that device just doesn't seem to want to receive signals from the phone, it just ignores them. It did behave the same with my old Mate 9, thus I assume that there are devices around which just don't like it, or Huawei's phones don't support some particular IR codes (but why then does the app apparently accept them? go figure).
Same for me
Its still not learning, right?
I have the samme issue.
Does anyone know if Anymote is working fully on the Honor View 10?
I had no problems getting my Samsung TV and Xfinity Box to pair and work perfect. I just have problems with the Roku remote. Has anyone had any luck with Roku?
I found a method that seems to work fairly reliably on my mate 10 pro: hold the phone and remote about 5cm apart, and extremely steadily (I hold the phone in my left hand normally, hold the remote upside down in my right hand, and support my right hand on the top right corner of the phone), then I hold the button down with my right thumb while keeping everything as steady as possible until it registers (should be a second or two unless you are not pointing the remote at the correct sensor). Only had to redo one or two buttons after I started programming it this way.
i used this app very good but you need Chinese app gallery it has the new remote update 4.0.9

I use mi remote app in the google play store and it works very well

J3 usb camera support?

Hi just wondering has anyone got a usb camera to work with their j3? I've tried an "endoscope" usb camera and a regular usb webcam with an otg cable but neither work. With any app i've tried the camera is detected when I plug it in but either the app then crashes or just displays a blank screen. This is with stock firmware.

Old thread, but for others nowadays, my answer is that you must make sure the app supports the camera.
For years I've been using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=infinitegra.app.usbcamera&hl=sv
and it supports at least Logitech C270.
Recently I discovered that the app also supports a cheap videograbber usb stick, meaning I can get my old Olympus OM-D E-M5 connected to a big tablet and see the live screen there.
Haven't tried the app with an endoscope.
The app + C270 have worked on a Galaxy Tab 2 with stock firmware 4.1.2, but also some higher custom ROMs.
And a stock Galaxy Tab A (2016) running Oreo.
and just now I tested it on 2 devices, my stock J4+ with Pie and my stock J5 (2015) Marshmallow.
Edit:
I got curious and dug out an old long silvergray SuperEyes endoscope, only tried it on the J5, but above app supports it.
At the same time I found a small black cylindrical inspection camera with 2 meter cord. Above app supports that too

usb cam as dash cam

I've wired a Dell laptop webcam to work with my old Nexus 5. It works when using the 'usb camera' app though all the dashcam apps seem to only look for the front facing or back facing cameras.
Does anyone know if there is an app or something that is needed to have a dashcam app recognise the usb camera?

Android TV Box - USB Camera and microphone

Hi. Apologies if this is not the right place for this but I'm desperate!! Well, not that desperate but you know what I mean.
I have a really good USB cam meant for connecting to an LG TV but I want to use it on my Android box. I have an older s802 box on which it works fully with Messenger but that's not my main, always connected TV box. That one is a not so old Rockchip and on that the mic works well in Messenger but the cam doesn't, saying that another app might be using the cam but I think that's because it doesn't see the cam at all. If I use a UVC app the cam comes up fine! Then I have another Rockchip box (MX10) where the cam works fine in Messenger but the mic doesn't!
I'm looking for advice on where the problem might lie. It doesn't look like Messenger has a problem, and given the cam works on one Rockchip box and the mic on the other I don't think its that either. The thing that is different in each case is the version of Android. Is it possible to install drivers on these things?
Any advice, suggestions?
Thank you.
David

Question USB Camera?

Trying to use a generic USB endoscope camera with my new Pixel 6 & the MScopesPro app - connects fine but no image. Camera (with this same app) works fine on both a Galaxy S9 and an Amazon Fire tablet.
Anyone else having an issue with a USB camera, or if you've got a working one, what app(s) are you using?
TIA,
Steve
Looks like the December update has fixed this, camera is now working!
