Why does the dot view case have a front cam hole if you can't take pictures with the case folded on. Is the government watching us lol.
Why can't somebody post questions in the Q&A section ?

The hole isn't for the camera, but the sensors. Because they're not covered they're still functional and it can adjust the brightness of the screen, even in dot view mode
Perhaps reporting thread to be moved to Q&A would be an idea? No? ?

Shh its a glory hole
Then again the sensors are all accelerometer based or tap based so he does raise a good question

Yea except for the ambient light sensor (and maybe proximity too?). But still, the hole seems to uncover both those 2 sensors and the camera, and why the camera is uncovered is indeed a mystery... Maybe aesthetics?
I have also noticed that the images of the dot view HTC officially uses on their site only has a hole for the sensors, not camera... Yet the real thing has a bigger hole? See attachment

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.
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.

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.
Radio:26 .03.02.15_M3
Rom: Phunky's PNK12
Nope, can't find the link...
Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUSD8ITT6jA
It is earpeace. ... LOL
Maybe this ?

Hope I can link it
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
my prefered method to test tv remotes (or the batteries in it )

Haha thank you all!

Learnt new thing.
Not about the exposed film but about the camera picking up the IR...
Ok, perhaps an overstrong heading! But this is just my opinion - I actually don't find the superwide nearly as useful as I thought I would. First of all, the quality isn't great and secondly the distortion from it being such a small lens makes it interesting, but not particularly useful. It's especially bad if people are in the picture. I'm really interested to know where people have used it where it actually added some value.

I wouldn't agree for main camera superwide, i managed to took some nice pics that i couldn't capture otherwise, quality is not the point here, but what you can capture with it.
BUT! my real question is, what is the freaking point of 2 cameras on front?They make almost no difference between each other..

You can't actually use the second camera on the front it is just solely for depth information to the other sensor

Then what does the switch does?It changes between 2 what if not cameras, and angle changes just a bit.

It crops it. All from one sensor cover the one up and try it. Still will switch between cropped and not

I see now, still i think that button it pointless, it does nothing, its minimum crop, can someone explain me actually the point of it?

Extremely useful when travelling and trying to take pictures of architecture. Most cities in the world are very dense and objects are large, with limited space to position yourself for a photo. Your only choice here is to carry an ultra-wide lens. Most of my pictures from my recent trip to Vienna were done in ultra-wide. Stick it into DxO ViewPoint and correct the geometry and you have fantastic photos.
For me, Its a useful option in the right situations...
It's useless until you need it. I thought it was the useless but when in a tight space where you need to capture more area in your photo, the wide angle is extremely useful. Happens a lot to me when I take photos for site inspections (construction job).

Or taking a photo for a group of people and the space is somewhat tight you cant go so much backwards
Completely useful since I remember in my LG G6 u can capture interesting perspectives.

Display which camera lens is in use
This is for people who has Pixel 6 (Pro) AND Tasker. One of the most frustrating thing when I using my P6P taking photos is it's difficult to tell which lens P6P is using for high zoom. The phone has a tendency to use the main lens for even 4-5x...

hello why i cant to show lens display like i see in videos

Just open your camera and keep your finger on each lens in each option to find out which lens is displaying!

Tasker works. You probably have used the wrong settings.
There is already a Tasker mod here on XDA doing what you seek:
