The performance of the camera is completely unrelated to the chipset the device is based on. And besides, were you actually planning to go around using your tablet as a camera???

Thank you, Google, for putting a stop to that heinous practice. :good:

At this point, Skype is a really bad choice. Camera support is awful. Not the Nexus' fault - blame Skype.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I don't use any phone or tablet "as a camera". They're all crap in that regard. Phones are okay as a camera when you need to take an unexpected picture, but anyone who intentionally uses their phone, or tablet, as a camera, clearly doesn't care about the results.

Now.. there are other reasons to have a camera. Clearly video conferencing is the primary for a front-facing, but with no rear facing (and no discrete camera app) you're also missing on a few other things...

Barcode scanning (grocery apps, food/calorie tracking, QR codes, etc)

Taking a quick snapshot of something to transcribe later

Taking a snapshot of a receipt to put on evernote or some other type of method to track such things

Having market access to a ton of apps that have a camera function but aren't necessarily the primary function (scanning barcodes in Grocery King)

I'm sure there are more... And there are workarounds (Modoco camera app shortcut, sideloading, manually adding camera permission so the market allows Camera permission installs, etc) but IMO they should have just kept the rear shooter, or at LEAST made the front shooter behave as if it's a rear shooter in terms of app compatibility.
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
I can't agree with that, though not long ago I would have.

My HTC Rezound takes fantastic pictures and great macro closeups as good as the camera I used to carry around with me for that sort of thing. With the exception of poorly lit rooms which even a good digital camera has problems with, it takes great pictures.

I'm not a professional photographer, but for what I do and need to do, it is as good as the carry camera that I no longer carry for that purpose.

Wouldn't want nor expect a tablet to do that, but I can think of some business requirements where it is a good thing (Insurance adjusters for example). but they would not be using the Nexus for that.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
With the stock camera app enabled through that app in the market, it's actually very horrible in low light. Not the picture quality but the frame rates drop to a slideshow. Many users have mentioned this. So this does not happen in hangouts?
[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
Why are people giving him **** for wanting a decent camera app for his webcam? People take webcam pics all the time. The girlfriend loves taking pics with me on the webcam, and with the nexus 7 being much more portable than a 17" laptop, it's nice to have a camera app. Who cares who looks retarded while taking pictures. Most people look retarded posing for pictures anyways. If you're in public, probably best not to take pictures of yourself with your tablet, but whats the deal if people want to snap a couple pictures of themselves or with friends from their tablet.

Basically, people saying "you would look stupid", who cares. Thats not the point. The point is, it has a camera, but no app to take them with. And don't say use facebook or instagram, because those are both **** applications. I am thankful for MoDaCo's camera app, and am content with it, but wouldn't mind a stock camera app.

cute googlie face .fits in well here

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

only used it for google voice and on paltalk. to me it seemed very good..Of course depending on what you compare it to.. Its not a hd web cam from logitech . so compare it to web cam on say Other tablets .

But its a web cam for face to face quick chats Not something you can use for online dating.. HEHE
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I'm not saying HD but if you haven't tried it, maybe you could try installing the one someone made in the market to enable the google camera app. The frame drop in low lighting is dramatic, almost a slide show. I thought it was a driver issue and would be seen in all video apps, because I don't believe the standard google camera/video app has this issue on other devices. Maybe it's a jellybean issue.

Is there another app I can try that I can record myself to see how low lighting performs? I don't have a google+ account. Gtalk does video doesn't it without google+? Can you loop back a recording of yourself to see the performance?

In bright lighting I think the camera is just fine. Not the best, but certainly not horrible. I do wish other apps that require a rear camera just worked and would use the front. Yes, it's weird flipping a camera around and taking a picture blind and can't see myself doing that, but I wouldn't mind the bar code scanner app or the pdf creator app, even if it took a couple of tries to get it right. Maybe taking a pic of a doc and framing it would prove too difficult but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to frame a barcode.
[Nexus 7 General] AFAinHD:
You should really read he whole thread before you post, it was mentioned many times, that the camera app is installed on the device. There just is no shortcut, MoDaCo's app is just a shortcut to the stock camera app.
[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
I've read it. The point is, it should be included stock, or at least an official download from Google thats easy to find for average users
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Why in the world would you expect Google to make it easy to use something they don't recommend using?

They took away the link for a reason; it is a low quality camera only appropriate for video chatting.

And I am fine with that.
[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
i thought the quality is fine. Obviously not perfect or spectacular though. Who is the judge of what is it appropriate for?
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
Its a video chat camera, want a better camera look here: http://www.canon.com/
[Nexus 7 General] Matterhorn:
Try side loading Camera Zoom FX. I just tried it for a few minutes and it seems to work fine and has a lot of flexibility. I use it all of the time on my GNex.

I agree that the Skype video quality seems to be sub par, that is what my friends tell me. Hopefully Skype will be updating drivers for this device soon.
[Nexus 7 General] evonc:
I've been using theoso's customized version of skype on all my android devices for ages. Works great on the Nexus 7 with video calling. Has a boatload of other features and what not incuded as well.

[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
There is no camera app, Because there is no camera.

There is a webcam for chat.... How hard is this to comprehend?

You went ahead and installed a camera app to work with the webcam and it only offers the performance of a webcam... Well duh.......

[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
who is asking for an app to improve camera performance (which is obviously impossible with a 1.3mp camera)
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Eh I don't know, I wouldn't say it blows it out of the water. I don't know anyone who uses hangouts but everyone I know uses facetime. Which makes facetime a lot more convenient, which i'd prefer to have over pretty much any benefit hangouts could offer.

You can facetime from a PC, as well.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I'm curious, I know I'm not alone as I've seen others post about it and one even posted a video. Everyone gets the low fps issue in low lighting correct? And when I saw low lighting, it could simply be a normally lit room and the frames per second become pretty choppy. If you haven't tried it yet, walk outside with your nexus for a moment and use the camera, then it's a solid 30 fps. Yes this isn't the greatest camera in the world, but I would think there is still an issue here. I'm hoping it's sofware and not hardware, as I've never seen any other camera behave like this.

Even older cheap web cam's, they were either choppy all the time, or they were fast enough to achieve 30 fps all the time. I've never seen any camera with the fps dependent on the incoming light. This is what I would like to see addressed with this camera in an update, again hoping it's a software issue.
[Nexus 7 General] sRDennyCrane:
Webcam performance on Hangouts and Skype are acceptable. OP seems intent on disliking the N7 webcam for one sole reason: It's not Apple Facetime. This is a Coke/Pepsi argument. It is not winnable. Anyone participating will lose IQ points in the process. Carry on.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I've tried it on hangouts and yes it's acceptable. But the variation in framerates is really annoying. Is this by design to lower the framerate to allow more light in per frame? I've never tried using skype or hangouts outside but I wonder if the other user would see a smoother webcam experience, provided there was enough bandwidth.

Again, I'm hoping it's a bug that'll be addressed but maybe it is required to allow more light in per frame, I dunno. Seems strange to me.

I know it's just an average camera but I would like a consistent frame rate and not just outside where the camera will probably be never used.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StaticGTF:
Hi

As this is the Q and A section of the X10 forums I thought this would fit right in!

Since I last installed FeraLab v.20 Final I've more or less cured myself from the flash-fever I had earlier. As a direct consequence of that, my visits to these forums has been quite sporadic to say the least. And now, when I return I find that the camera development for ICS based roms has taken a huge leap forward!

Now 6mpix seem to be functioning as expected and the full 8mpix is more or less fixed, apart from issues with rendering (huge over generalization). Video also seem to be more or less on a highway to becoming fully functional!

Questions:

How did this come about?

Who did what?

Was Sony themselves involved?

How much is left before we have fully functioning camera/video/hotspot features under ICS in our X10?

Might JellyBean even be possible as a direct result of this development?

The questions are many, but these are really interesting times!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supenthoelll:
+1 on those. We'll wait patiently, hope all the best effort from XDA developers. I don't think any SONY involvement on this kink of custom development, but our support by Donate would be great beneficial..

Cheers :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
I can answer few question

Sony was not involved in it.

Zdzihu was the one who started it giving giving wvga camera working firstly. Here's the post . http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28818020&postcount=1028

he came out of nowhere and posted that lol He always does that and has done in past and hopefully will do in future p

Then championswimmer tried to compile camera and after few tries he was able to get 6 mp camera working.( I guess zdzihu's camera fix helped him)

No one knows how much time will it take for complete working of cm9.( FXP is involved in cm9 so hopefully they will be able to do it)

As for JB AFAIK FXP isnt going to develop cm10 for X10 but someone else might :D

I guess your doubts have been cleared :p

i tried formats,wipes and ways. but no help.

i using cm9 beta 9 now. and tnx for your attention.

in Stock and CM 7.2 boot animations works fine.

if i posted in bad place. i'm sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Deus.Icaras:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Marco Lomas:
Wipe data/system/cache

Install cm9

Again wipe all

Reboot and go into the rom

Use a root explorer and search in media folder (i think its there) the bootanimation.zip file

If its there i think there its an option in settings that disabled bootanimation :)

If dont work, sorry i dont know what is going on :/

Ps. Sorry for my bad english ;)

After updating to Jelly Bean Google search (or Now) stopped working, it would show the results if I search for something and then it crashes right away before I have a chance to do anything.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamanoopmk:
It will be there under language and input -> "speech" section select option "voice search" and in the new window that opens there should be four options. Last option will be "download offline speech recognition" select it and from the next window download the voice data and everything should work..

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamanoopmk:
Well, once I too faced that issue so I deleted that voice data and again downloaded it and that fixed my problem.

But more importantly I wipe all data when flashing new ROMs. Like after 3 successive normal flash for the fourth one I wipe user data and restore my apps from TB. That avoids most of these problems for me
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehrushi:
Fixed it!! Under "Phone Search", you'd need to disable one (or more) options in order to make it work correctly. For me, it was Google Chrome. Its working fine now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jon1029:
Hi all,

I have had my verizon Nexus for months with no real issues. it is rooted and I have mainly been running AKOP with the kernal that comes with it. I updated the radio to FC04/FC05 when it was available a while back.

This past week I started having signal issues....Whenever I send a text the signal bars go out and show an "x". I have to resend the text several times for it to go thru. Also, trying to call or answer a call is not working either. If a call actually gets connected I can't hear the other person. they have told me that they can hear me though.

Yesterday, I flashed a month old backup. the phone worked better for a while, then went back to having the connection issues.

mainly just a rant, as I have read about others having these issues. But if there is a fix that works, please let me know. It is just odd that my phone worked perfectly for so long, then all of a sudden started having these issues. And I cannot think of anything that has changed that I know of, that might have caused these issues to arise.

thanks,

Jon
[HTC Rezound] pmgreen:
With all the new/updates to ROMS coming out daily, was thinking about trying a Boot Manager. Are there risks is using an app like that?

My assumption is that it allows users to switch roms w/o have to flash everytime. Please correct if that's wrong.

Thoughts on using a boot manager?
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Two things. One make sure you do the backup boot partition every time you change the original phone ROM. Also always keep a nandroid of the original ROM on hand in case you lose access to anything but recovery and fastboot because of a bad flash. In that case you would just restore the boot partition and everything would be peachy keen. Also phone ROM refers to the the ROM you flashed in recovery rather than boot manager.

Sent from my tin can using a string.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I ran Boot Manager briefly with each of Nils' ROMs (his Sense 3.6 and his early Sense 4.0). The previous poster is completely accurate with the warnings listed. One other point, if you rely extensively upon Exchange, every time you switch ROMs you'll need to competely resync all your Exchange data from scratch. That's why I ultimately just picked one ROM and stick with it.
[HTC Rezound] bond32:
I bought the app when it came out but never used it. I thought I would give it a try too. Now that I am s-off, is the install procedure pretty much the same? For example:

Phone rom I have conromv6

rom1 I have ViperRez.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
The key thing to remember is that the install is different if you are going to use a ROM that installs via AROMA. If the "primary ROM" (the one BM calls your "PhoneROM"), you can install via Aroma, then download and install BM, and set up the ROM as your PhoneROM.

If it's in any other slot than slot0 (PhoneROM), then:

1. Do a Nandroid of your PhoneROM with BM installed and your PhoneROM properly installed.

2. Wipe and flash your Slot1 ROM via Aroma, download and install BUT DO NOT SETUP BM. Nandroid that ROM.

3. Wipe, restore the Nandroid of your PhoneROM, go into BM and install the NANDROID of your Slot1 ROM.

In other words, trying to install a ROM in BM within another ROM via Aroma will not work.

Welcome to a superior phone and manufacturer. No, really, as far as build quality and radio, Sammy doesn't hold a candle to moto.

But yes, as Peetr said, read everything. Sammy users for some reason tend to have a hard time adjusting to our way of doing things. A couple things to watch out for...

1) there is a possibility that your phone will come with 2.3.5 installed. If this is the case, DO NOT try to unlock or install any custom anything. The only thing you can really do is root.

2) if you are on 2.3.4, DO NOT take the ota update when it prompts you. This will prevent you from installing ROMs and such.

3) open the door

4) get on the floor

5) everybody walk the dinosaur
