Does anybody here use this phone?
SOrry for noob question but does it support video calling?
Or WP7 does not support it ATM?
And what are these 3 sensors in front of it?
No WP7 device currently has video calling. The lens you're seeing is probably the proximity sensor, which detects if your face is up to the phone and shuts off the screen so you don't accidentally press something.

Yeah but there are 3 there. Two similar and one deeper looking like camera.....
I have the Optimus 7 and it doesn't have a camera at the front. None of the WP7 devices out there has a front facing camera and I guess that's because video calling isn't supported.

One will be a proximity sensor, one will be a light sensor for automatic brightness and no idea on the third.

Is everyone 100% sure that the TMO TP2 doesn't secretly have a front-facing camera? (just like how the HD2 secretly had extra RAM)
I can see the hole, exactly where it is supposed to be in the international version. I'm wondering if there is a camera behind it.. or just a hole...
I just realized that the hole was there after looking very very closely. Its to the right of the speaker that you hold your ear up to.
Just some food for thought
EDIT:
-Oh and its not the proximity sensor, that's on the left side of the front speaker
-And I put my phone on auto-adjust backlight and when I put my finger over it, the backlight doesn't change so I doubt that it is the light-sensor either
i know what ur ralking about i thought that it was for more sound, like a bass or something

Make a phone call and then cover that hole with your finger and see if the screen turns off. My guess is it's the proximity sensor.

the proximity sensor on the tilt 2 and similar touch pro 2's is above the c in htc. if you tilt the light just right you can see it. the european touch pro 2 has the camera where my carrier logo is. im not sure what that is on the tmobile version but i dont think its the camera. or even the proximity sensor.
The front-facing camera on my UK TP2 is a lot further away from the centre of the phone than that.
That is not a camera. That's the light sensor used to auto-adjust the screen brightness.

Nope, its definitely not the proximity sensor... that's on the left of the front speaker.

When I adjust the lighting for only the spot where I think the camera is, my phone does not adjust its backlight...
So you could still be right, but right now I doubt its the light-sensor

Actually it does...try this: hold your thumb over that spot for about 5 seconds, then pull it away...within 2 seconds the screen will probably dim. I just did this test at my desk, under normal flourescent office lights, and that's what happened. I repeated it 3 times with the same results.

no thats not the light sensor. the light sensor is the speaker grill on the right. it looks like a notification led that never lights up. still not sure what that circle is but i have a feeling its nothing.
Hi XDA people!
Can anyone tell me what this second red led means?
It come's and go's..
Youtube vid: because i'm new here i cant post links or something..
If you search on HTC Desire HD Second led on earpeace, you will find it.

Nope, can't find the link...
Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUSD8ITT6jA
It is earpeace. ... LOL
Maybe this ?

That's the vid.
Never seen that LED before... From what I know its not meant to have a LED there.

Looks like an IR-LED which might be the proximity sensor.
Edit: Tested it and the CM3602 proximity sensor reacts within 2 cm above the IR-LED.
It looks like the proximity sensor. Get another camera phone and have a look at your DHD from the other camera while making a call. The IR led will switch on.

Ahh that'd make sense. Most digital cameras shift the colour of IR to visible spectrum. It's always fun showing this on laptops of unsuspecting people.

It's the proximity sensor. Cameras can pick up light into the IR wavelengths, which are not visible to the naked eye.
Point your camera at the end of your TV remote and press a couple of channel buttons... See it light up!
If you have some exposed photographic film, cut a couple of pieces just larger than your camera lens, turn one 90 degrees to the other and tape them over your camera lens. It won't pick up visible light, but it'll still catch Infra-red. Instant night-vision camera! Requires IR light to work, obviously

Not about the exposed film but about the camera picking up the IR...
Why is nobody talking about how slow the front camera is!? This is truly shocking.
Put your camera into front facing mode, wave it from side to side focused on your face and see that SHEER lag! The lag is so great that you can put the front facing camera on someone stood in front of you, and if you turn the phone around fast enough you can still see that subject on the viewfinder when you turn the screen back to facing you.
I don't know if this is due to the UltraPixel camera, or just shoddy camera software. Surely it shouldn't be like this!? Replicated on two O2UK locked models of the M9. Does anyone else have this? I'd say its about 1 and a half seconds out of sync.
Think there may be a problem on your phone. Mine is pretty snappy on the Ultrapixel. Unlocked UK Model.
I Have lag on mine but not that bad, On unbranded uk model
Turn off the make-up mode or whatever it is called. That makes the camera slow.

That's it, turn the Live Makeup mode off and the camera is fast as hell! Soon realized it couldn't be a hardware issue as Snapchat worked just fine. Cheers!

Yes I was having this issue it is a software problem I have did a new software from HTC the lag at the front fixed. And I don't have any lag in the camera but I'm still having a lag while swipe recent apps in multitasking
Weird sound when hitting the back, specifically around the camera this sound is generated, someone else happens to this
Yes, the camera has optical image stabilisation (OIS). This allows camera to physically move. When you tap the phone you will hear the camera moving. This is normal.

No, this phone is only have EIS. OIS is too expensive to be implemented into this phone.
And yes, I also experience this weird noise when there's a bump on the top back cover. Don't know what cause this though
Perhaps the vibration motor? I have the same sound.

Oh ok. I saw a teardown video and the camera did move in it's socket when it was touched. So I still think it's the camera shaking that is making that noise.
All previous phones that i've owned had OIS, and they made the exact same faint 'tick' sound near the camera when phone was bumped.
But i guess it could also be the vibration motor, since it's close by the cameras.
It can't be OIS, can it? I don't notice any stabilization in photo mode and in video mode the stabilization feels like that of EIS
Hi,
Can anyone else see 4 pixels light up when the fingerprint scanner fails to detect fingerprint while being in whatsapp call?
I have attached video of it with 4 pixels lighting up on left
Yeah I've seen it before. Pretty sure it's some kind of sensor under the display. If you are on a white screen, and look closely, you can actually see them.

Hey, thanks for your reply. Does it happens on yours too? I raised it with Samsung support and they are asking me to send the phone to them to check.

Yeah it happens on mine too. I wouldn't pay too much attention to it.
I believe it is the underscreen proximity sensor checking if it is an accidental touch or not
