Not what i meant. Ie. My iphone dropped calls. It didnt do what a phone was meant for. If you didnt want a phone you shoild get a tablet or an itouch.

A smart phone is a phone not a tablet or computer thats a phone. Its a phone thats a computer (tool as he puts it)as advertised not technically speaking.

A car is not a radio. Cars can have radios installed and removed. My silvia doesnt have a radio. My x10 and iphone make calls and have plans. My itouch does not.

Point is...the x10 is a phone. A smart phone. If you want a tool that makes phone calls get a um..phone
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
well a phone can be more than a phone. just like putting a v6 in a ford escort.. do i want to carry 2000 devices in my pocket?.... psp, gps, phone, media player.

screw that.. one ring to rule them all.

p.s. ADD is a disorder... i have a small attention span.

the point was to thank every one o xda... so once again thank you.

may the source be with you.

That's fair enough, but I still only use my (phone) for maybe 10% of its use. If I had my way, it would no longer be called a phone or smartphone. Itouches or tablets are too big and don't make calls, therefore no use to me. All I'm saying is that there would be a huge list if things I use my (mobile) for before I'd get to "make phone calls"

but that's just my opinion.

Itouch is ipod touch it fits in yoir pocket and gets wifi.

@Bialynia, lmao

@fiscidtox, +1 once again we agree.:-)

@OP, I guess higher isn't always better. My IQ certainly isn't that high, but I had the lag problem resolved a week after purchasing back in November with root, JIT, and junk apps removed. I guess I was dumb enough to look to others for help. ;-)

However, I do agree that Wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3 V05 and Z's Free X10 definitely took things to the next level. Really looking forward to trying custom Kernel ROMs shortly, and SE official 2.3.3 Gingerbread update in late June/early July.

Is there any way to get the recent apps in the notifications bar, kind of like the inspire has it. It would function like the home button but it would appear as you pull down the bar. Does anyone know how to do this?
[HTC Aria General] DroidRunner:
Hold down the home button

[HTC Aria General] supetawesomedude:
Yeah I want it it the notifications bar.
[HTC Aria General] DroidRunner:
And I said hold down the home button. It does the same thing, just not in the notification bar.

That's the only fix I know of

Sent from my Liberty
[HTC Aria General] Javi97100:
He knows he can do that with the home button, so try reading the post first
[HTC Aria General] DroidRunner:
You going to help him out or argue about posts?

Like I said, that's the only way I know of to being up recent apps. Maybe a theme has it?

Edit: looked into it further and I don't think its possible. Unless someone comes out with a rom that has that feature, long pressing the home button is the only way. I think the app executive assistant has something similar too.

[HTC Aria General] supetawesomedude:
Well, I know about the home burton method, but I like the notification idea so when you guys find something, can you tell me?
[HTC Aria General] Javi97100:
There has to be a port from the inspire, or someone can build it from scratch
[HTC Aria General] DanGeorges:
OMG it's like "Who's on First?"

let's get a nice stable, fast, working ROM on the Aria from CM7 before looking for tweaks to mimic another handset.

If someone had the Inspire, they'd probably see the Aria and want something they don't have, too.

[HTC Aria General] zervic:
why don't you think it's possible?
[HTC Aria General] supetawesomedude:
I hope its possible

XD
[HTC Aria General] jacobas92:
the mysense (yogentouch) rom has this feature.
[HTC Aria General] Gene Poole:
Speaking of this, is there a way to disable this on ROMs that have it. I hate that about the Inspire. The task-bar/dropdown is polluted enough as it is.
[HTC Aria General] themacman1000:
I think widgetsoid has that ability, I'll check and update my post if it does.

Edit: With Widgetsoid you can put your favorite apps in notification bar, but with Smart Bar you can put a button that will bring up a recent apps window. Only two solutions I can come up with. Hope they help.

Thanks a lot, but does it look like the Inspire has it?

This might have been touched on before but i have read so many pages i cant seem to find it. i am still a noob and usually pretty good about figuring my problems outby reading thru the forums.

I have a mytouch4g/glacier and am stuck in recovery. When i try to flash a rom all i get is assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img"."boot") (status 7) installation aborted. E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log

E:cant open /cache/recovery/log

E:cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

I have installed several roms before and no problems. Wanted to try cyanogen 7 rc4 and it kept rebooting so i decided to go back to what i had and this is all i get... Please Help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
What recovery version are you using? What rom are you trying to go back to? Did you download CM using the phone it your computer.

Sounds like a bad download. Hard to say without more info though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aron027:
Actually I had to end up unrooting my phone to get it to work again... any Rom I flashed wouldn't work... so im gonna stick with stock for now until I can root again.. I still have s off dono if that meens I have to do anything else
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pentlander:
COuld you tell me how you unrooted it and got it working again? I'm having the same problem and i can't get it to work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isubbie:
I have the same problem. Seems like an issue with clockwork.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickdj:
that's what I'm thinking too. I used to be able to switch ROMs and restore nandroid backups, but after updating to the latest clockwork I got the "can't mount /cache" errors and can't fix it now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
If your recovery image is corrupt, you don't have to un-root an re-root again. Just download a new copy from here and flash it via terminal emulator.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I'll post instructions for anyone wondering how to flash via terminal.

First rename the downloaded file to "recovery.img", then follow this:

Copy recovery.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickdj:
that could work if the phone booted up, but as of right now it doesn't boot and it won't since I had just wiped the phone when clockwork started acting up with the "can't mount /cache" errors. thanks for the suggestion though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aron027:
I was pretty desperate to get my phone working again so I jus dl PD15IMG.zip put it on the root of my SD card n went into hboot n let the phone do the rest. Back to stock byt hey I'm phone is working again
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erickdj:
you lucky dog.... Mine does not want to restore with PD15IMG.zip, it fails on items 1-6, skips one more and freezes at updating the radio. Even tried with a freshly formatted sdcard.

Hi,

Is there anyway to make the phone unlock using the fingerprint reader WITHOUT having to press the power button first to wake it up?

I just think it would be easier and quicker to skip a step and go from blank screen (swipe) to home screen.

Thanks

[Wildfire General] bx19:
We all know that the maximum video recording resolution of HTC wildfire is 352 x 288. Max fps will be 19 and max bitrate is 800 kbps. Who expects these things for a 5mp cam. I would like to ask the custom Rom builders to improve the above camera features. I know that the 528 mhz processor can't handle the 720p video recording. But now a days the processor is being overclocked to even 768 mhz which can handle the 720p video. Developers pls work on the camera. Atleast to vga resolution of 640 x 480.

I would like to point out the camera of Nokia 5233 which is less than half the price of wildfire. Nokia 5233 has video recording resolution of 640 x 480. It's fps is 30 and bitrate is 3000 kbps approx. And all these features for a 2mp cam.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
This is a dev zone mate, not a feature request zone. Please try and respect it.
[Wildfire General] h4oxer:
Why in hell would we develop this ? First of all it will degenerate your cpu like hell because it has to be overclocked at maximum always you use 720 p recording, or even 640 x 480 ? Second it requires kernel , libraries and android core - code adjustments.. And the most devs (who are students) don't have a lot of time to rewrite these parts ( read whole ROM). So your best shot is to write a complaint letter to HTC. Further I can add that the wildfire , because it's a low-budget smartphone, doesn't has a high resolution screen (it's QVGA) so you wouldn't even see a difference because the screen just won't show it. You would only see a difference if you would use these video's on your pc, but my answer on that is : buy a digital camera (I prefer sony, lol).

Hope my answer was helpfull.
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
Maybe the sensor can't handle large video resolution s. Because other phones can do it doesn't mean that the sensor is the same as the one in our Wildfire.... It can be a cheaper sensor.
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
Wildfire struggles to record in its crappy resolution at 10 fps. You want 1 spf VGA video? Be my guest. meh.
[Wildfire General] melvinchng:
720x480 already 1fps for wildfire. And you even want a arm6 processor to take 720p video?
[Wildfire General] krook6023:
Moved to general...:)
[Wildfire General] bx19:
what is the custom rom that records 720 x 480 video at 1fps. and whats the bitrate in this. pls add a note. and what about the cam pictures quality in this rom. is there any improvement.

i know that even if wildfire takes 720p video, there is no improvement in the video viewing in the wildfire, as its screen resolution is the limiting factor. but im not asking about watching the video in wildfire. i wanted to watch the videos in pc and HDTV. let me just ask u guys a question.

suppose u are having a nice digicam which has the capacity of recording 1080p video @ 30fps and a great bitrate. now do u watch the videos taken by it in that digicam itself, or do u watch them in a full HD 1080p HDTV or a 1080p HD monitor.

i have heard before (untill december) in some forums that wildfire has the capacity to record 720p video. and when it is updated to froyo, it will be recording at 720p. but that didnt happen. even the 3 network in UK, which updated to froyo in february 1st week, announced that they will give the 720p recording to wildfire, but they haven't done it.

i expect that wildfire has the potential to record at 720 x 480 fluently.

here im attaching u an android application called "ELIXIR". u may also search the market for an updated version. the version here is 1.9.3

coming to "ELIXIR", it is an application which gives system hardware and software information. and let us see what it gave with camcorder of htc wildfire.

video rec resolution: 720 x 480

frame rate: 24 frames per sec

video bitrate: 3000kbps.

video codec : H.263

file format: MPEG

the audio bitrate is 12 kbps, single channel, amr, sample rate 8 kHz
[Wildfire General] fifarunnerr:
Did you knew the words "Hardware Limitations"?

That application says:

Best recording quality is 720x420

The camera supports 24 fps.

If you'd like to get 24 fps, use lowest resolution for video capture and it's possible to get 24 fps. :cool:
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
argh. there is no rom which can record at that resolution. the max resolution is near QVGA. AND THAT IS ALREADY LAGGY ENOUGH. Wildfire DOES NOT have the capacity to record at 720p, which is incidentally a 1280x720 resolution, not 720x480 (which is 480p).

I don't know what's wrong with that app, but wildfire most definitely cannot record 720x480 @24fps. that is like trying to run Crysis on an original Pentium. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE!!! and it has been discussed many times so I suggest you give up. -_-

Edit: I hope you realize that cam quality is more of a HARDWARE limitation than software.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
someone said me that to get 24fps video recording on wildfire, we should use the lowest possible resolution.

i have done that keeping all other options default. but even i didnt get 24fps. explain

im working with unrooted stock froyo, waiting desperately to get rooted.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Read Post #10. Also, it has been said many times in this thread the Wildfire records laggy video even at its default resolutions.

The Wildfire doesn't get 24 fps even at the lowest resolution, and your first post requests 720p recording for it. Oh, the irony....
[Wildfire General] bx19:
lets keep the topic of degenerating cpu aside for a while. lets keep the cpu in the safe margin 528 to 575 MHz. and also let us forget about the 720p recording. and even forget about the 24fps.

and let us now concentrate on

--max cpu overclock of 575 MHz

--just getting 10fps and if possible to 15fps

--with a resolution of 640 x 480 (or even slightly lower which becomes intermediate between the current wildfires and this one)

IS IT POSSIBLE.

u said that it requires kernel , libraries and android core - code adjustments..

im not asking someone to write those. just asking whether the above video recording configuration is possible or not if some great developer works on it.

u also mentioned to write a complaint letter to HTC. i dont have expectations that this solves the problem. the reason is HTC didnt improve the wildfire camera even by a little bit in the froyo update.

i dont understand why the 3 network of UK in association with HTC announced that there will be 720p video in the froyo update. this is meaningless because they didnt even gave a 480p via the froyo update. Anyhow writing a complaint letter to htc should be a try. if someone can link me the contact of htc, it would be more appreciable.

and further u mentioned that the screen resolution of wildfire limits. im sorry if the following question is sooo numb.

just check this website: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_google_nexus_one-3069.php

i dont know if there is something wrong with that website or not.

but i cant believe my eyes when i saw that HTC GOOGLE NEXUS ONE has got multi touch input method via FIRMWARE UPGRADE. i thought that the multitouch is a hardware feature. is it really possible with just a firmware upgrade. if so, can we expect the wildfire screen resolution to become better with a firmware upgrade. i know even if it is possible, HTC wont do that since it is crushing wildfire for the purpose of wildfire s. i just wanted to know whether screen resolution is a software issue.

and i remember some days back, some guy made a custom rom of wildfire and he said that it has better screen resolution. what does that mean. i dont remember that custom rom name anyway.

and is it possible to improve the screen resolution a little bit, retaining the same 4:3 aspect ratio.

guys a few more numb questions if u have patience to answer. later
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Oh Snap!

/Thread

Anyway, I'll still answer your queries:

* It is NOT Possible to have a higher res video recording on the Wildfire, and, as you yourself said, the Wildfire cannot record even 240x320 at 24 fps, why would you want to increase the resolution? I think, you have been said that 10 times in this thread about this, and, still you are not getting it. I don't know what it will take to make you understand, but whatever.

* Write a Complaint letter to HTC yourself. Why make others write to them for your complaint? Their contact details can be found on their website.

http://www.htc.com/in/CS_Mail.aspx

* As for the N1, it;'s hardware was already ready to have Multi Touch Features, but, it was not provided with the software to support it, for reasons unknown. As I have already given one more example, the Xperia X10 received Multi Touch after its official Eclair Update. Here's another example: Apple's iPod Touches Received Bluetooth Functionality after updating to iOS 3.0. There was no trace of BT before that.

* Additional features can be unlocked by OTA Updates only if they already exist on the hardware. Getting better screen resolution on the Wildfire wont ever be possible, because, the screen (the actual hardware) supports only 240 x 320.

* 3 UK probably made a mistake in their announcement, but, I dont think you have to bring that up 10 times. What they say is not the law, you know.

* The 'Better Screen Resolution' Effect can be achieved by using an app called LCD Density Changer. This ROOT ONLY App however, only provides an effect of an increased resolution by decreasing the size of the UI elements. Your screen resolution remains at 240x320.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beansoft.lcd_density_changer

Lastly, I would recommend you read around a bit rather than posting the same thing everytime. All your queries are answered by others elsewhere.
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
Nothing left to say after that reply... I'd like to clarify about multi touch though, it wasn't included originally due to patent issues with Apple (go figure).
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Ah, that explains it, because, I would have expected Google to release with all their features originally intact, unlike Apple. (BT, as stated above, and, the iPod Touch teardown shows a FM Radio also, but, Apple only decides to give it to the Touch v4 :mad:)
[Wildfire General] bx19:
yes, wildfire gives 24fps when using the lowest resolution.

sorry that i made a wrong post before. at first i have checked that while recording in dim light. it didnt give 24fps. then i checked that while recording in the sunlight at mid afternoon. then it gave me 24fps.

so while checking out the cam quality, one must be dealing in enough good light.

and with 320 x 240 resol it gave me 19fps in mid day sunlight. this will definately be much better option than the above 24 fps low res. thanks
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
lol. even good cameras have trouble in low light many a time. meh.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
*anyhow i would not make an attempt to write to htc, as i dont have confidence in them that they will do something for wildfire.

*

*wow, great explanation. and its really painful to hear that manufacturers are releasing their phone models with hardware features locked. This makes me to think about the ATI DESKTOP GRAPHIC CARDS (radeon hd 4xxx series) which have the hardware features like PARALLEL PROCESSING and etc which are lately enabled via software updates.

but how can we know about locked features, if a phone is released with hardware features locked.

*ok. the actual hardware of wildfire has screen resol., 320 x 240, and no locked feature here. this explains great.

*and regarding that app LCD DENSITY CHANGER , i dont actually need it. because i feel that the screen clarity is much better (excluding the resolution issue here). watching videos, browsing and other things are really nice. i just thought of the resolution issue just because to improve the video recording which is not possible as i believe for now.

yes i will search the camera related things on xda.

so, here we know that, "when compared to other 5 MP camera phones wildfire has one of the lowest grade camera".

so, sticking to the rules, i quit the discussion.

EDIT: i cannot use that lcd density changer app now even if im willing to. because im on official froyo and it is a root only app. would try that and check after getting rooted.
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
heh. bet you've never properly used lcd's till you got this phone. and no, the camera is just fine. not worse than others. only video recording suffers due to a slow processor.

and one question: how the HELL would a higher screen res improve video recording? >:(
[Wildfire General] nhnt11:
All of the phones you mentioned have GPU's. The screen resolution does not matter at all. Screen res would only slow it down since it has to waste resources draw the camera image again.
[Wildfire General] :
ok. well, i would like to ask u regarding where u have seen NOKIA 5233 having gpu. also that of legend, desire , wildfire s. PLS give me a link.

i haven't seen any websites which highlight the mobile phone GPU . And have seen some websites giving wrong phone specifications.

the point of considering gpu is very intresting. r u sure that gpu contributes to video recording. i would really like to continue the discussion after someone gives the above links.

.................................refer post #10. that doesn't mean that i don't know the difference between 480p and 720p. I knew that 720p = 1280 x 720. what actually i mean there is, i was asking the post #6 about :

which custom rom records 720 x 480 @ 1fps ?. refer post#6...............................
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
None. It was used just as an example. As in:

"If recording in QVGA res at 17fps, increasing the resolution would only lower the fps."

/sarcasm

Also, please take note that all the people on the forum, all the devs, and the handset manufacturers have agreed to lie to the people about the true features of the HTC Wildfire. If coded properly, the Wildfire can play Angry Birds at 60 fps, can shoot full HD videos and cure world hunger, HIV and cancer, all in one sitting.

/sarcasm
[Wildfire General] :
previously thought that sarcasm was true

edited : Ok. now got it. sarcasm, a non-familiar word to me. now i understood.

As im a newbie, i may not get to all of the words u speak. here learning is my curve.

Ok, i agree that i should have googled about sarcasm before making a post. But, i thought it would not be much of "literature" than the actual point.

There the single word making everything pointless.

ok.. over the last few days, i was experimenting the video recording with my unrooted stock froyo in different conditions. giving the results.

the best results i acheived (in very good light conditions) are:

with 352 x 288, i have got the best of 19 fps and 800 Kbps.

with 320 x 240, i have got the best of 22 fps and 800 Kbps

with 176 x 144, i have got 24.9 fps and 80 Kbps (just took 1 video here, i dont focus on this)

in all the above 3 cases, i kept the camcorder settings to default.

MY OPINION IS, RECORDING WITH QVGA (320 x 240) GIVES THE BEST VIDEO.

if someone know about changing settings gives some more fps, then suggest the settings.

And i expect in overclocked custom roms, the QVGA (320 x 240) recording adds some more fps to the video.

LET US STICK TO THE 320 x 240 RECORDING AND GET THE MOST OF IT. any suggestions
