Xoom Front Camera Access?

From what im reading on the forums there is no support yet for front camera access on the Xoom (Droid 3.0) under AIR 2.6. I have a project that requires it. Given this has to go out on both iOS and Android I would love to build it in air and not write two separate apps. Is there an ETA on when access to the front camera might be accessable? The app is still internal as an alpha but I need to have a working demo within a few weeks. With a public date in a few months. Is there any chance of getting alpha/beta compilers/packers to test code on? Or am I going to need to scrap this and do it with the native sdks?

I'm interested in this as well. I have a project that is pretty much complete, i'm just waiting for official front facing camera support to put the application on the market.
I was following a topic months ago where someone explained that the only reason Air for Android didn’t support the front facing camera was simply because the native android OS at the time (froyo) did not technically support it. However, since Gingerbread android OS has had official font facing camera support, and now we’re on Honeycomb. And Air still does not seem to support it. If i do a Camera.names it only returns default. Anyone have any idea why this isn't higher up on adobe's priority list for air for android?

How to access front camera

Am devaloping a small applicatioin using JME.. I have to retrive image from front camera for that.. S there any API to access front cam in a Midlet application.. Anyone who knows ploease explain in detail.. Thanks in advance..

Hello mlmarsh2, To access the front camera, will the camera is on and showing the live view, swipe up from the bottom and you will see a taskbar with the option to "Change camera". I see from another post you created you were having difficultly with some apps uninstalling.To restore Windows back to factory, turn off the tablet completely. Press and hold the Start button and Volume Down button simultaneously for a few seconds.A screen will come on showing some options.Choose F11 for the System Recovery option and follow the prompts. Hope that helps. PS: If this is the first time you have used a tablet, you might prefer the traditional desktop like Windows 7 had. You can install Classic Shell Setup on the Stream Tablet for the old desktop and it will work just as good as it does on a tower or laptop.

Mobile data doesn't work and I can't access the front camera.

Hi, I received my new Xperia Z3 Compact in white just over a week ago and unfortunately I have few unresolved issued with it which kind of spoils the experience of owning a new phone.
I just switched from a number of Iphones and Xperia was the handset that really impressed me.
I couldn't see the point of getting an overpriced Iphone with a limited storage capability.
Unfortunately my Xperia Z3c has some issues;
- I can't get the front camera work
- I can get my internet only through Wi-Fi and my unlimited 3G data doesn't work at all (T-Mobile U.K)
- Three Swipe Gesture doesn’t appear to be working as it should on any Android device (I'm told).
So I am not a very happy user at the moment and slowly starting to miss the Iphone.

Hi casson50ml,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Sorry to hear about these issues, I would first suggest clearing the data for the camera.
Menu > settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear Data
Once done try using the device.
In regards to the Internet, try performing an Internet settings download.
Menu > Settings > More > Internet Settings > Accept Disclaimer > Choose Network.
Now try using the network data on the handset.
Can you explain more about the 3 Finger Gesture issue?

IPod denies access to front camera when trying to switch

So I wanted to take a picture of myself to send to a friend. I go to the camera app and switch to the front camera. The screen flips around, but the screen doesn't show my face. I wait, and wait, but I can't do anything. It's like the camera app froze...
Am I the first to experience this with iOS 7? What's causing my iPod to not let me use the front camera anymore?
Any help is appreciated.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Front camera of my iPhone 4 doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open.

Yesterday I have bought an used iPhone 4, so I don't have any guarantee. But the front camera doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open. I have read that it is something like a hardware fault. Now my question is, if Apple has to repair it because of the hardware fault?

they dont do repairs..is much easier for them to give u new handset..which u have to pay for if is out of warranty.
dont be affraid is not a full cost of handset.is be about £139.00-£169.00
i use to work as an technician engineer in a phone shop still have access to warehouse with replacement parts.
if u live in UK and willing to pay £50 i can repair it for u.i'm still cheaper than apple store

C7 front camera error

Hi, please help me after I updated my c7 software to symbian anna my front camera is not working, I am getting error "unknown error occurred, please restart the camera, if problem persist then restart the phone" and after restarting still I am getting the same error.

If you have front-facing camera problems, consider the possibility that the camera module itself may have become detached. My C7 recently fell a distance of about 30 cm onto a wooden floor. I now get the same "unknown error, please restart" whenever I try to access the front cam.
I took my phone to a Nokia care point and they opened the phone and the tiny camera module just fell out. There are about 16 pins which connect this module and it doesn't look like it's soldered into place using conventional soldering methods. There is no sign of soldering actually, just tiny contact points. I dont know if this module normally just gets held in place or whether they are soldered by some special manufacturing process. But it looks extremely fragile and probably is, as I've found out.
You will never know that the camera has broken off without the phone being dismantled, since the module is held in place by a rubber gasket pressing against the touchscreen.

If the DroidX had a front camera how easy would it be to video call with Skype or Fringe?

Apparently EVO with Sprint you can video conference with Fringe but is this something that has to been done through WIFI? I was ready to upgrade to the DroidX but I am wondering if I should hold off for the front camera. I love using Skype video and it would be amazing to have this feature on the phone if it is an easy thing to do.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone is knowledgable about this information.
Thank you!

Since that is a hypothetical situation (Droid X front camera), there is no real way to even guess how the carrier or manufacture would implement this feature because if you look at how other devices use this feature you notice that they are not implementing this feature the same way. Also in regards to the EVO video calls is across the 4G network but from what I have read they have been experiencing a lot of connection issues do to the network being over whelmed (which isnt a surprise)...

IPhone 6 Plus front camera not working or with lines and static?

My iPhone 6 Plus front camera is having problems. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and the camera app freezes. Sometimes it works fine for a little while and sometimes it shows multi color static or lines.
I've tried:
Restoring from phone (without restoring backup)
Restoring from iTunes (without restoring backup)
Deleting ispw and re-downloading iOS 8.1.1 then restore
The phone is less than 2 months old. I noticed it acting weird a week or so after I bought it but thought it was just software. At first it wouldn't work when using the camera app but worked fine using facetime. Now it acts up regardless.
Any advice or opinions will be much appreciated.

I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1. I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you a developer? IF so try asking in the developer forum.

Hi there bananas321,
You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost

SQL Server 2005 replaced with SQL Server 2014 trying to connect front end Access as guest (read only ODBC)

We have replaced a SQL Server 2005 with a SQL Server 2014 (new physical server.) Have the new server set up to use SQL Server login OR Windows user login. Had old server connecting (for a particular DB) to front end Access (2010 or 2013) as guest for
anyone logged into the Windows NT Network with a read only ODBC connection. Have the DB in the new server set to include guest as db_datareader (with only SELECT permission for the securables of each table and view being linked) but when any Windows user not
specifically listed as a SQL DB user tries to use the front end they get an error of:
Microsoft SQL Server Login
Connection failed:
SQL State: '28000'
SQL Server Error: 18456
[Microsoft][OCBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Login failed for user {domain\user}.
After closing that pop-up window a server login window appears. Of course, since the guest user is not specifically listed as a user in the DB that fails also. It seems like there should be a very simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it. I want
to allow anyone logged in on the Windows system (locally) to be able to open the MS Access file (on their work station machine) and run their own (read only; select) queries on the SQL Server database. Any suggestions?
Thanks a billion in advance ----

Thanks for the response Olaf. I have now spent weeks researching this. I realize that using the guest account in most situations is not advised. As mentioned, I have restricted the guest account to allow the db_datareader role only, and have explicitly denied
all other roles, as well as allowing select only, and still have no access for the guest account.
The suggested fix in the second link you provided, of using Windows groups is not plausible for my situation either. We are a scientific field research institution, with a few long term users and lots of users that may have Windows accounts for a few months,
and then they are gone. It would be a nightmare for the network tech to try to keep a group account up to date, and we need to give access (read only, of course) to anyone logged into the system. Realize that the ONLY access of any kind to this database is
thru MS Access ACCDB, using a (by default) read only OCDB connection.
This type of access is used particularly because researchers need to be able to set up their own queries, and the MS Access query interface is particularly convenient for people who are not themselves SQL experts, yet are trying to get some very advanced
levels of output. Putting the database online is not practical because then we are back to the need for a comprehensive query interface, and just picking up general subsets of the data online (from a basic web page search feature) would be out of the question,
since the result set would involve hundreds of thousands if not millions of records.
So - that said - what exactly would you suggest, assuming we don't have the funds to buy a whole new system, and have spent plenty of money with Microsoft's Enterprise level MS Office so that all work stations have MS Access, and Microsoft's SQL Server,
as well as running our network on Microsoft's network software.

My front camera on my phone will not open at all I've already reset, restored, and did a back up and it still won't work

My front camera has stopped working suddenly and I have already tried to restore reset and backup

Hello Engilliam13,
You may need to contact Apple Support in order to obtain service for your iPhone, as this is the only step remaining from our iPhone Hardware Troubleshooting guide.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
