Hangouts, 10.1, and front facing cam - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was trying to use hangouts for a video call and got a camera error and I noticed the cam app doesn't appear to have a front facing option. Is there a know issue with the front facing cam
I posted this same question on the known issues thread but felt I may have inappropriately posted there (sorry kenny). Sorry for the double post.

Just to update.. I found the front facing cam option on the camera app and it appears to work so I guess my issue appears hangout specific. Anyone try video chatting in hangouts with this phone on cm 10.1 (or anything)

Using the camera while on the phone hack?

Is it possible for you to be able to use the camera while on the phone. Is there a hack for that?

very interesting...
only the STOCK Samsung camera App will give you that message
but if you use any of the Market camera Apps like FX camera or paper camera, vinegar camera, or any other camera they all works even during a phone call

photo sphere lagging while shooting

Hi guys
I'm recently so crazy with photo sphere . But that's a problem . Start I'm using the photo sphere I could do my own rotation 360。 degree and the photo Sphere camera still could catch my speed and capture it perfectly. So I could compete the whole image in one minute. Then after now it was lagging and show. One single angle image took a second to process and lagging to next angle image. Anyone know how to fix it ? I try to restart and kill all background clear ram and turn off battery saving but still same... what's the latest version for it ?:crying:
Would clearing the cache help? Did you try to uninstall it then reinstall it.
Our phones weren't suppose to have photosphere. How did you accomplish that?

Better Camera App

Hey I'm currently using slim bean 4.2.2 build 8. I'm looking for a better camera app on my phone because the one that comes with the ROM is very buggy. Does anybody have an app that still has the stock Google 4.2.2 look and feel that is fully working?

I've used this one on my phone.
Don't know which camera comes with slimbean though.

Have you tried the 4.3 stock camera?
What's wrong with the camera? Not buggy for me. I like LG Camera from the play store

Snap Camera from the play store works well and has the 4.3 interface
I like the 4.3 stock camera, it gives you the photo sphere option. Other than that, a camera is a camera to me.
How about camera zoom fx... havent tried that, but heard about its reviews....

Snap Camera is by far the best. Ive tried them all.

I also vouch for Snap Camera. It's like stock but with added features and simplicity.
Have to agree with ya'll, Snap Camera is pretty awesome.

Okay, I'm going to be honest here...
Normally I ignore app recommendations from this site because sometimes they're just god-awful... but lgcamera is pretty amazing. It's got plenty of advanced features for serious photographers that left their SLR at home and stumble across a perfect photo opp.
Extremely fine ISO control, plenty of resolution choices, AND the ability to set volume up as focus, and volume down as capture.
Overall, with my small snap on telephoto lens for proper zooming and a touch of manual focus, this app has restored my faith in non-SLR cameras for hobby shots. Best free camera app there is, even if the interface is hideous.

Never tried snap camera but I have a copy of the Google photo sphere (awesome features) camera, this seems to give me much better stills and video compared to the gs3 stock camera. Pm me if you want it I'll forward it to you.

Can I install the 4.3 stock camera in 4.1?
Sorry I'm noop
Has anybody in their search for a good camera alternative ever run across one that has anything like the drama mode on the S4? I would love to have that. Thanks for any ideas you can provide.

Slightly off topic, I was playing around with the Touchwiz version of the camera for the i747M and it has the anti-shake feature that can be toggled on and off. Is that a HW or a SW based feature?
I like the Touchwiz customizations in some sense but the low DPI hurts my eyes
snap camera win here.
I use CameraJB+ and absolutely love it I used CameraICS+ on my Infuse 4G before this and it took better video and pics than the stock camera......
+1 for camera jb+

Camera Freeze?

Does anyone have a solution for the camera freeze? When trying to take a front facing camera picture, my phone SGH-I747(AT&T) will freeze then restart its self. I have tried third party camera apps to no avail. Its only when trying to take a front facing picture. I'm running Beanstalk 4.4.
