How to turn on front camera on Samsung Phones

Someone from the comments section asked how to take pictures with the front camera of the Samsung Genio Slide or Samsung CorbyPro as it is known outside the UK. Well, I don't know about taking pictures, but you can turn on the front camera (if your phone has one) from most Samsung phones using a series of codes. You can probably use it to check your image if your reflection on the screen isn't clear enough.

Anyways, on your Samsung Phone's phonepad, type in: *#0*#. An LCD Test screen should appear, choose CIFcam (it's in the middle) and you should be able to turn on the front camera. I tried touching the screen and it seems to take a still picture though I don't know what folder it is saved. Maybe touching the screen doesn't take a picture at all. To exit, just press the end button or the home button on your phone.

Why is this useful? Well, a lot of people just wants the option to turn on the front camera on their Samsung phone just to make sure its working since not all countries support video calling without actually making a video call and some Samsung phones don't have the option to turn on the front camera.

Again, this trick should work on most Samsung Touchscreen phones. It worked on the CorbyPro,Samsung i8910HD,Samsung B7610.

How to find Hidden camera's?

1. 1
   Do a physical search of the premises. This involves a slow, meticulous search of the room or building you suspect is "wired".

   • Look around for anything that "seems different", like flower arrangements, pictures on the wall out of level or in unusual places, or lampshades that don't look normal.
   • Look inside flower pots, light fixtures, and other places where a microphone transmitter can easily be hidden.
   • Look under couch cushions, table tops, and shelves. Underneath shelves and table tops are excellent places for miniature cameras.
2. 2
   Turn off the lights, and carefully look around the room for tiny red or green led lights. Some microphones have "power on" indicator lights, and if the person who sets it up is careless they may fail to cover or deactivate this feature. While the lights are off, grab a flashlight and carefully examine all mirrors--these can be made transparent from one side so that a camera can see through, but they rely on the observer's side being darker than the area observed in order to keep the other side of the mirror reflective
3. 3
   Listen carefully as you walk the entire room quietly. Many small motion sensitive cameras make an almost inaudible click or buzz when they operate.
4. 4
   Search the room or premises for wires that do not seem to "go anywhere", such as an appliance or other familiar device. "Hardwired" spy equipment is less common with modern technology, but is still used for permanent surveillence in commercial businesses for loss prevention.
5. 5
   Buy an "RF signal detector" or "Bug Detector". If you seriously beleive you are being spied on, buy an RF (radio frequency) detector, and do a sweep of your room, building, or home. These portable devices are small, simple to use, and fairly inexpensive. There are bugs that use multiple frequencies in rapid sequence called 'spread spectrum' that a RF detector will not detect. These bugs are used by professionals and require a spectrum analyzer and an experienced tech to find.

   some more tips for you...

   1. Check your smoke detector. Climb up a ladder and get as close as you can to the smoke detector. Take a flashlight and shine it directly onto the grill of the smoke detector. If you see a tiny glass lens, you know you have a hidden camera.
   
   2. Make sure all of your electrical outlets work. You won't be able to plug anything into an electrical outlet that has a hidden camera in it.
   
   3. Use a flashlight to look for pinhole-sized holes in clocks, lamps and radios. If you're renting a furnished apartment, all the basic amenities were probably included. Unfortunately, hidden video cameras can be found in these types of common household appliances.
   Take a flashlight and carefully examine books, clocks, air purifiers, lamps and fake plants. If you notice any pinhole-sized holes, you might have a hidden camera.
   
   4. Shine a flashlight directly onto a wall mounted mirror. Take the flashlight and move it progressively closer to the mirror until it touches the mirror. If you can see through the mirror, or notice the light shining through it, you have a one-way mirror, and possibly a hidden camera behind it. A mirror should always reflect light, not allow the light to penetrate through it.
   
   5. If you're unsure about what you see, sweep your entire apartment with a hidden camera detector. There are many types on the market. You can hold one of them up to your eye, and look around the room. When it finds a camera, you'll see the light reflection from the cameras LED. Another one vibrates when you're close in close vicinity to a hidden camera. Others give off flashing lights or beeping sounds when you sweep specific objects that contain hidden cameras.
