i want use the front camera too u_u

@all here:
take a look to this app: WebCamera Plus, also CoolCamera you can find on her site.
Screenshots are here. There you will read something like Front Sensor (second screenshot). I think this is what you all searching for.

have one of you guys ever used your phone/front cam for videocalling?? i've tried a couple of times but it never worked..

is there a front camera? I have a t-mobile htc tp2 and thought that it did not have a camera. Google Kai's Make Up Mirror. Let me know if it works.

Not on Tmobile, verizon, and sprint..

Unbranded TP2
I have an unbranded Touch Pro 2 and to access the front face camera you have to press camera>click tab box next to shutter tab> Menu> Camera and it should switch to the front camera.
If your in the states and have an unbranded Pro 2 then you cant make a Video call because, and this is what T-mobile tells me, the towers in the US wont support the video call function...even if you have 3G.
This actually the reason I got the Pro 2 and the reasons I bought the Kaiser...So the front facing camera is only for show in the US but over seas it works like a charm.
The new Iphone have a front facing camera that I'm assuming will support video calls

I doubt it since you can never guarantee you're going to be in a 3g area or the person you are calling is. The front camera is probable for Skype, MSN, etc. Video calling would work fine if you live in Europe.

I click on camera -> tab -> Camera Icon and these are my choices

Tried to insert a picture but it was not uploaded.
Anyway when I click on camera -> tab -> cameria icon, my choices are photo, video, panarama, voice messaging, contacts picture ad picture theme. What are you choices?

I can guarantee you there is no front-facing camera in the US T-Mobile version of this phone.

I thought so, but what the heck. It is mentioned in the camera help files (I was really bored one day) but it also mentions that it was not on all models. Back to looking at the rss feeds.

Use Front Camera In Camera App?

Is there an option to use the front facing camera in the default camera app? I know it is less of quality, but it would be handy for use while taking self portraits with my friends.

yes, if you look at the engadget unboxing video, the camera source is in the settings

I took a picture for you. It's very easy, you just tap the "Switch camera" option basically restarts the Camera application with the new camera in use. Very intuitive.

I really really realllly hope that I can use the front facing camera in Skype. If not natively then by rooting. This would be the major feature for me.

iChat compatible app = win.

Sprint HTC EVO 4G Developer Guide
In the Sprint developer website, developer.sprint.com, we have a developer guide and a sample app/with source code that shows how to utilize the forward facing camera and other features of the HTC EVO 4G
Thanks

Thanks for taking the picture! I just hope there is a way to get skype on Sprint now. I have heard that it is only for VZW customers....

Default Camera sucks: Here is a solution

In particular the "Superior Auto" mode of our Z3s sucks. With "Manual" it is fixable to some extend, but I feel it's a lot of work and usually you just want to point and shoot (like you can with e.g. an iPhone btw. - my previous iPhone 5s made excellent pics in no time).
So here comes a solution and it might sound surprising: Use VSCO Cam! I did not expect this at all but in my opinion it takes waaay better pics than "Superior Auto". You still can't zoom in and expect a lot of detail, but I like how they come out nevertheless. Here are some samples :

One downside of using VSCO as a default camera is that it does not save to gallery by default and there seems to be no option (yet) to change that in settings. So you have to click on the images and "export" them to gallery. On iOS you actually can change it so it saves to gallery by default - I hope they will offer that on Android soon too.

Nice app, thx

VSCO definitely takes better pictures in my opinion. Here's a comparison below, the top picture is the stock camera on manual mode and the one below it is VSCO with default settings.

How to Shoot and Edit in LOG on the OPPO Find X5 Pro

The video capabilities on the OPPO Find X5 Pro are some of the most impressive that we have seen from this series so far. While you're able to shoot brilliant 4K footage with ease, OPPO included a feature for more advanced videographers that will give you more control over the way your footage looks. In the different filming modes available, you'll find the MOVIE option. This mode enabled several different features, but videographers will probably be most excited about the ability to shoot in LOG.
LOG is a filming profile that gives you a greater dynamic range and freedom in post-processing. While shooting your footage you might think that the video looks washed out or a little grey. That is because this footage is meant to be edited using professional software. You'll be able to tweak the color to look exactly how you want. This is the process that all movie footage goes through, in big productions.
Ho to Film in LOG on the OPPO Find X5 Pro​To access this great feature, follow these steps:
Open your camera app
Go to MOVIE mode
Toggle LOG on the left menu
When shooting in LOG, all of your manual controls will still be accessible.

Hot to Edit Footage Shot in LOG​Now that you have your footage, you'll want to use a professional editing app that will let you adjust the colors of your shot. Avoid using premade filters that tend to be included with smartphone editing software. Instead, try something like Adobe Premiere Rush: Video. Try using LUTs if you're a beginner at color grading, then tweak the look of the video from there.
LOG offers creators more control over their style and the overall result of their video. The addition of this feature to the OPPO Find X5 Pro is fantastic, and you should definitely try it out.
Thanks to OPPO for supporting this thread.
