COM_CAMERA is asked to take live video. Don't use it. It isn't the viewr application yet. Wait for version 0.9.20 !!

Above is not true, fortunately. I'm very sorry for the confusion. The released version 0.9.19 attaches the correct viewer application file. It was a mistake in my development environment only ...

QUESTION

Recent SMSCON devel version proposed better front cam image quality. Is there anybody who has tested new quality of front camera images already? Are you satisfied?

I'll test it ASAP and post result here. Meanwhile, little bug I've discovered, when I forget to add IMSI of SIM card before inserting it into my N900:

Despite having "unlock on new sim" selected, my device still asked for lock code on every reboot, with unauthorized sim card inserted.

Also, I got messaged about "phone now unlocked", despite fact that I haven't set anything like that in SMSCON-Editor (message on keyboard slide-out disabled, etc).

Seems that the image is a litle lighter but i had tested only indoor. I just could see my face and I remember many images before that i didn't see nothing but a black screen. Anyway, i' sure that the problem is actually a hardware limitation. The N900's front cam just sucks !
Thanks yablacky !

While I worked on improving the image quality I played around with several camera parameters (gain, exposure time, contrast, gamma, ...). My impression is that these parameters have so strong impact on image quality that hardware limitations (resolution, sensitivity, ...) play a minor role. Fortunately. We can't change hardware but can play with software parameters

thats true.but in previus version of smscon if you get black image we can play with contrast, gamma etc with that black image.i have tasted that black images taken with smscon using adobe photoshop.you can normally see face clearly if you increase contrast and brightness of that black image.

For the longest time I tried couple of tests with SMSCON-editor.
The front camera photo seems to be more readable (lighter) now, thanks.

The GPS-coordinates test was able to lock only to the center of the country I am in. I'd prefer, if it would not send anything if the accuracy is not under some sensible limit (like 10 km). Now it says in the report:
Accuracy: 600000.0 mtr
Duration: 239.9 sec
Not very useful in case of the lost or stolen device. I'd rather had it in the settings waiting as long as it takes to get a GPS lock and then send only.

That's interesting. I never tried to load the earlier almost black images into a retouch program to find out if they contain more useful information or to make 'em better... should do it.
