Re: Selected Smartphones
Checked with low-cost Android phones:
Samsung i5500 (temperature sensor resolution 5 deg. C) (Works well via GSM)
Huawei U8180 (temperature sensor resolution 1 deg. C) (Works well via WiFi)
Picture quality OK for different resolutions. Sometimes when accessing MobileWebcam settings comes a message "can not access camera".
Then might need a reboot. With older versions like MobileWebcam 2.42 work quite reliable.

Re: Selected Smartphones
We try to get used smartphones; So the report of "working" smartphones with mobilewebcam is very useful.
Re: Selected Smartphones
So now is March, 2013.
Android smartphones prices went incredibly down.
I can get a used L3 for 50 euro
Or a new huawei y210 for 90 euro
there is the whole Samsung galaxy family...
... this just incredibile for me, coming from the Apple world (now I'm the proud owner of a 250 euro Galaxy Nexus)
What phone would you reccomend to buy, now <100 euros ?
Reading on instructables, xda and here, these is my temporary features checklist:
- good camera: you can find a 2 Megapixel camera that is better than a 3.2 Megapixel
- rootable: not just for the function the root enables in Mobilewebcam. Rootable means more support from the community
- working in backround with mobile webcam: this means less power consumption, I had no luck with my galaxy nexus
If you have something to add, everything is appreciated!

I think I'll get an Xperia Ray, I found an offer at 99 euro, new. And a used one on an ebay auction
is it stable as the LG Optimus Le?
and what do you mean with "motive before background"? Do I get this with the xperia ray?
Thanks!
Re: Selected Smartphones
XperiaRay is running absolutly stable,
with Android 2.3 and with Android 4.0; no problems.
Best Photo quality, full background mode
With other phones, like Galaxy Y, S5360 2MpX cam, the fotos are overexposed, if there is a white background and a dark motive in foreground.
with Android 2.3 and with Android 4.0; no problems.
