Hello everybody, I was reading about the upcoming Sprint version of the HD2 and it sows that the phone is going to have an 8 megapixel camera in the back and another camera in the front for video calling. Anyways, does the US T-Mobile version have a front camera? I see a whole there where there may be a camera but dont know t for a fact. Please let me know what you guys think.
No front camera.
you know i was thinking the exact same thing,it's right next to the led blinker and i was wondering what its there for. Is there anybody who took this phone apart and explored everything.

Would be nice....but nope The EVO will have a front-facing camera, but the HD2 has no such provision. The two small dots you may see just to the left of the ear speaker are the proximity and light sensors.
Also, even if the HD2 had the camera, it's not much good if the carrier hasn't enabled support on the network.

That's probably the ambient light sensor i'm guessing.

I believe it has 2 functions, as you stated ambient light sensor. but if you look closely you'll see 2 holes. I believe the other to be an IR emitter that is used to tell when the phone is up against your face and to turn the screen off during a call. It looks for the reflection of the IR off your skin.
Oh ok good, im not the only person to tihnk it is a camera. loll i thought 1 was a proximity and the other the camera. =) cool to know.

Just so you know, that is not a HD2 that sprint is getting... its the Evo 4G. Completely different phone, different os... it just looks similar.
It is a front facing camera!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EcHn5BwESk

Yup, that's on the EVO, one of the features that sets it apart from the HD2, though they're very similar. Sprint is using that to create more desire for their 4G service (which is pretty much necessary for stable 2-way video streaming at any usable resolution)

went back and studied this video
at 4:12 in the video, the component being pulled out, unless i'm mistaken is the FFC
would seem like if someone was entreprenurial enough, they could find a source for those, then with some of the folks here with software flashing experience, could simply drop into their Tmo and AT&T phones
vid at below link

That is the proximity or ambient light sensor.
how about pointing out the ffc then
do you see it?

i just went and found a copy of the owner's guide online - that is the FFC, it's right next to the main camera lens - the light sensor is on the other side of the camera
here's the link to the guide - scroll down and you'll see the appropriate page

Front Facing Camera dude
I was sitting in Buffalo Wild Wings playing with my phone when something caught my eye. I'm not sure what it actually is but if you look in the top left corner of your screen you can see a lens and a led and it looks to me as if its a front facing camera but just not activated for whatever reason. Now I don't know if this is on everyones G2 but I really had to look to see it. It does seem kinda strange they would leave off such a hot feature on the top of the line phone.
Yes it's a camera, utilised by the government to keep track of people, but you can't tell anyone. You might want to delete your post before you mysteriously disappear of the face of the earth
Or maybe there's no conspiracy, and it's actually a proximity sensor.
if ur talking about the think near the earpiece im pretty sure thats a light sensor. It measures the level of light to adjust the autobrightness i believe
lol, although a front facing camera is definitely a much wanted feature.
but now that android 2.3 is released, i bet HTC are busy in their kitchens cooking up a new handset to have a dual camera. I'm gutted that they didnt introduce one in the Desire-Z otherwise i'd snapped it up.
Hey guys check this video out, it has the samsung logo on the galaxy s ii!
It must be the retail version!
Nice! Thanx dude!
So smooth and fast
it's so smooth even with that power hungry live wallpaper
And what a screen O.O
Man, I really want this phone but can I really wait that long? Hurry it up Samsung!!!
Did anyone else see something blink on the top of the phone (above the logo to the left) at 0:18? Is that a notification LED?!?

We had the same discussion on Dutch forum. Goran040 mentioned proximity sensor there.
This looks the same:

Yeah was the only thing that came in my mind but golf gave the good reason because it's the same color.
Fast boot-up. I like it.
Most cheap cameras (anything under semi-pro) don't have IR filters, so the IR proximity LED (the reflection of which is detected by a sensor next to the LED when the phone is next to your ear) shows up as a purple-white light in stills or video.
You will see the same effect if you point your phone's camera (or most consumer video cameras or non-DSLR still cameras) at your TV remote and press a button.
You will not be able to see anything with the naked eye.

Shame though
Great response, it did have people thinking that there might have been a easter egg with this device.
They still can't get the BOOTANIMATION any smoother? Pretty embarrassing.

Ok this is nice and all, but do you guys really care so much about the boot animation? I mean if you meet your friend are you like "Well it has SAMOLED+ display and all that, but look at that awesome boot animation!!!" ?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew what the sensors on the fron of the galaxy s4 are. It obviously has a camera, and one is a proximity sensor. I think one is a light sensor, but whats the 4th?
Anyone know? Is it something for motion tracking? (and if so is there an api for it?)
(On an unrelated note, is there any api for the hover above the touchscreen?)
Thanks. I'm just curious. It seems like these phones have more sensors that there are things to sense lol. (seriously does a phone need a pressure sensor and barometer? )

Oh so it does have a dedicated one. People on the internets seemed to think the gestures were combinations of the camera and proximity sensor.
But is there anymore info about it? I would love to know more details. And any api?

Hi Guys,
I purchased the Galaxy S7 Edge from Uae and now I am back in my hometown.
unfortunately my phone is only a month old and i just noticed that the front camera is misaligned by 1mm or so, you can see more of the black ring and the lens of the camera is more towards the right.
Although the camera works perfect and there are no problems, should i be worried?
I am extremely worried as the phone has no warranty in my country .
Mine is a bit misaligned as well. I wouldn't worry about it as long as it works as it should.

Thank God that is such a relieve as I don't have warranty support in my country and if i go to a service center they are known to rip customers off by selling unwanted parts especially to phones without warranty.
Is this normal, I saw this on other devices and some were aligned correctly?
Could you please share a picture of your device if possible?
Yea dont worry about that. I believe most are like that people just dont look that hard at there phones.

Yea its just a bit off on the bottom of the camera.
You gotta look real hard to see. But its there. Doesnt effect anything since it doesnt cover the lense.
Same here i can see that theres much room on the bottom part of my front camera, but its working fine.

By room you mean the black part correct? As I can see more of the black ring which makes a gap between the lens and the outer ring but again mine is on the left side and not bottom so is that okay?
Yes. Its like the hole in the top glass was cut to big and off ceneter.

Alright thanks a ton
The black one is mines. It has a screen protector on so thats the top offset.
But if you look at the black trim you can see where on the buttom of the camera it has more space then the top as its off center
My wife is the sliver one.
I did my best to take a picture of it. You can see how hers is center.
Either way it dossnt effect the camera.
And fyi these pictures were taken with the phone lol.
My nikon battery was dead.

Thank you so so so much for the pictures.
Mine is somewhat just like yours, I am glad that I'm not the only one.
Your wife's camera also looks a little misaligned from the right or I don't know if its because of the picture.
It's just ironic that a phone with such a hefty price, one would expect some quality and tolerance?
