Hello- I was wondering if anybody could help me out with something. I want to be able to chat with the wife through my Evo to her PC and it seems that Imovicha is the only way right now (just saw the news on Google!). I have downloaded it and my wife uses an HP Netbook with a built in webcam. When I test the camera in the program, it comes up fine, but when I call with the Evo it won't show up. I plugged in an external cam and it works fine. Does anybody know how I can make the built in one work? Thanks

I had a Touch Pro2 and dumped it for an EVO. I was so pissed when I found out Android doesn't support reverse tethering. I need my PC to give internet to my phone through the USB connection. No I cannot simply get WiFi. It is forbidden where I work (offshore). Does anyone know if reverse tethering works on WP7 like it did on WM6.5?
I've read that it does support it, but don't know how to test it.

Yup it works through Zune - just plug your WP7 phone in to your computer and open Zune, and reverse tethering occurs automatically ^__^
This is great news. I will definitely be buying a couple of HTC 7 Pros when they come to America.
Anyone want to buy an EVO and a Samsung Galaxy Epic on Sprint?

yes , it will work , you can easy test it by putting your phone in flight mode and then connect it the the pc , you will see that your internet explorer still works on the phone .
ps: and to make you real happy , I just tested it and it works perfect (don't need to do anything, just connect and sync with zune)
Hey guys - Wanted to see if anyone out there has used a 'keynote remote' app for Android. I'm going to be running a presentation on my wife's Mac, but neither of us have an iPhone, and the clicker we're going to be using is not that great.
I know some of the other guys who use it (and have iPhones) have keynote remotes on their phones, and I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for apps I could try. A few of them out there cost some $$, and I have no problem with that, but I know we only get 15 minutes to test apps out now, and that may not be enough time.
I'd like to have the link done by bluetooth so I don't have to rely on wifi if possible. Anyone out there know about this incredibly specific request?
I know you're not wanting wifi, but it's what I use at home to control my media PC: Desktop Remote. Free and works flawlessly.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know if it works on Macs, specifically for Keynote? That's the application I'm going to be using it for, so if it only works for PCs, I won't be able to use it.
I'll look it up on the market and check it out.
Instead of a poor mirror system, i'd like to put a webcam in the backseat of my truck to watch my kid in the carseat, using my GSIII as a video display. Does any software exist to make this possible?
I could use my old iPhone 3GS, a usb webcam, a bluetooth webcam (if it exists) or a wifi webcam if i can set up my phone as a LAN.

The iphone was replaced by the GS3 and doesn't have an account. The 3GS also doesn't have a front camera, so i think skype is unavailable for that model. (processor speed too...)
thanks though

Skype doesn't need a front camera (used it on my captivate without any problem and had a 1Ghz processor).
And you can make 2 accounts on skype without any problem, just use 2 different email.
Anyway, worth giving it a shot.

I meant the 3GS doesn't have a data/phone plan and don't want this to have a continuing cost.
Thanks

Oh I see, my bad.
I dunno if there's a app that allows video streaming through BT or Wifi but could be something to look into.
I just bought an OTG cable that lets you plug in USB devices. Works great for keyboard & mouse - even wireless! But not sure if it will work with webcam. I think I have one lying around - I can test when home. Not sure if it will need drivers. I have seen people use it with other USB devices like flash drives but those might be simple (in terms of drivers) compared with a webcam.
EDIT: I tried it out but didn't work. The keyboard & mouse worked right away, so it's possible there are drivers for that already installed on the ROM. Possibly if you could get a driver to work, then the webcam might work through this cable but not sure.
Hey everybody,
do you think i can connect my Samsung G-Track Mic and a random USB-Camera to the OUYA?
Would love to Skype with it
Not sure, I think it'd be the same as any other Android device really.

If you look at the 12th post there, it looks like someone got it working.
Good luck!

Yep! this would definitely be plausible, i believe it only has 1 usb hole though (does android support usb hub?) so that is a good idea (But kinda expensive) also on a sidenote of the OUYA if Google is making a game-center (Achievements) that would go GREAT with the OUYA!
has anyone tried this yet?
I know this isn't much help, but I will be trying it (hopefully) tomorrow. I did pair my BT headset and it said the mic was working, but have not tried it yet.
I have my webcam downstairs and will try it next time I turn on the OUYA. The problem is i'm not sure there are any apps that use the camera that are compatible with the OUYA.
a little Up...

Hi. I'm hoping someone can help. I've got a nexus 7 built into my car dash and would like to use a Web cam as a journey recorder. The Web cam works but the issue is software . I'm looking for something that record on a loop plus time and date stamp plus GPS location stamp. I've seen plenty of apps that offer this but non we an external camera. Is there a way to trick the nexus that the webcam is internal? Or does anyone know of an application that will work?
Thanks for your help
