I'm sorry, I'm working on fixing that! For some reason it doesn't do that on my phone but people have been reporting that left and right! For now, the main thing I wanted to share is that you can use the Video Chat feature which in previous releases by QIK, this was impossible on CM7/2.3 roms........BUT I'm trying to see what's causing this FC and I'll fix it once I find it! Do you think you can upload a logcat of the FC and PM it to me?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
UPDATE:

still freezes @ 1sec of record. no java errors however. still testing. thanks guys.heres to progress ^_^
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tinfox:
I wish it would at least work like my friends IPhone, you go to qik.com/username and watch the camera live.

That's cool and very useful.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nc_carol:
do you need logcats? mine freezes up if I try and record through it.

edit: well not really freezing...just stops recording. I can then hit the stop button and back out of it without issue. Just doesn't record.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mazda:
Yeah I really wish I could get a logcat PM to me or posted on here so I could get working on it because for some reason or another, it doesn't happen on my EVO....I got it to duplicate this error once by changing my CPU governor and lowering my min and max to damn near stupid low but then my entire phone froze and I had to restore via recovery. I've been looking inside .xml files and seeing if I can find anything that would cause this but right now I'm just shooting in the dark and hoping to hit something.......

I tried signing in, but it tells me there is an update and won't let me proceed. I tried closing it and reopening, but it is the same. If I tell it to update it, it can't find update in market.

Any ideas?

Hey all,

So I've thought of using my android phone as a gunsight on my airsoft g36, and so far, I've gotten away with the standard camera app, and a plastic sheet with a dot in the middle. However, an app that uses the camera and overlays a cross or a dot that is moveable would be nice! Particularly if the camera can be soft-hacked to see IR light more readily. Let's see if anyone cooks something nice.

Regards,

Eliwu26
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Fortune090:
Sorry to not really answer your question, but you have an airsoft G36 too?? Awesome, man! I have a Classic Army G36E. Really love that thing. Hasn't seen any action in quite some time though... Pretty sad, but I haven't had anyone to play with around here. :(

But have you tried looking at some of the camera apps on the market? Some might have some random things you could throw on the screen as guides or assists for taking pictures. And with the stock camera you could press the screen to put the focus box at a certain part of the screen. Only problem is that it could fail to focus if you're moving too much... Hmm...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] eliwu26:
Yeah, too bad it's only an Echo 1 though. But it does have a 6.03 tightbore, a silencer, and a custom doublemag hicap I built. The camera app's square is much too big for aiming. As for nightvision, I tried taking apart the camera, but the darn lens is way too small to take the IR filter off. Maybe someone can soft-hack or cook something for us. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Fortune090:
Oh very nice. At least it's still something. ;) I actually got some new mags for mine too. The hicaps they give you are just annoying. Got like a box of 5 170-cap mags that are spring-fed.

As for the camera, it might not be too hard to go into it and just edit the actual pictures for the square in the .apk itself. I might even be able to have a look at it...

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
This question is directed to anyone who knows the inner workings of the vending.apk and the android market itself. Through another post about density settings, it seems pretty apparent that, while having density set at 161 allows all the apps in the market to show up, there are still plenty of apps that won't actually RUN unless you are set at 160/159. So it turns into a Catch 22 situation. I know I have used device spoofing via an altered build.prop (or an apk that does the same) for getting apps to appear that are 'proprietary' to other, specific devices, but I'm wondering if it MIGHT be possible to spoof the market into reading our Nooks at being 161 devices, while we are actually at 160 while within our rom (I'm on CM7). This has probably been proposed somewhere else, but I couldn't locate a thread...Anyone have any input about this possibility? If something like this is NOT possible, please let the users know also, if you have a minute. Thanks for looking...(Idea..could we get a secondary "market161" .apk created that we could use indepedently of the one in the latest Gapps to achieve the desired effect?)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] FrasierCrane:
You could write a widget that toggles ro.sf.lcd.density in build.prop between two values, and then use Tasker to toggle the widget when you open the Market (and flip it back when you leave it). But I'm not sure if the Market checks the value in build.prop or what the device is currently using, so it might require a reboot instead.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ADude:
My Density is set at 200 and everything works just fine (including both Market and Maps).
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ganovim:
Mine is set at 240 (need new glasses?) and everything seems to be ok
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
Trust me...there are enough that don't run at 200....otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting. 160 seems to be magic for compatibility/scaling, and 160+X gets best market access.

Sent from my PC36100
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
I actually would assume the 240 would work.. since it's 1 of the 3 native android app densities that devs mass market through compatibility mode to ensure mucho marketshare (120,160,240)..but the icons and such at 240 are just too huge ...can't do it...reminds me of those physical phones with humongous buttons that people have in their house. When I see someone using a new tablet, like take the Galaxy, I can tell pretty much immediately whether they're running stock from the look of their homescreen...Huge, ghastly, labeled icons +(bloatware)=someone not using their device to the full potential, and that makes my inner nerd sad. Nope, even if I go blind I won't do 240....if only because "it just LOOKS stock. The same reason SPB mobile lasted about a week on my nook.

You're really making me want to track you down so I can change your density settings just to mess with you :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
It would be SO on.... :)
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] FrasierCrane:
It's a pain sometimes, since everything is buried under submenus. I don't think there's anything else comparable, though.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] dalingrin:
The reason I have the density set at 161 isn't because apps are filtered. It was due to a bug in the Market apk and the Maps apk. Maps 5.1.x would crash on startup on tablets with LCD density 160. Google has fixed this with the most recent version. Unfortunately, Google has not fixed the Market yet. Tablets+160 causes the "my apps" list to not populate.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
Thanks so much for saving me from making this a bigger issue than it is...I don't need " my apps " to populate since I'm tethered to my Evo about 95% of the time, where they naturally all populate ...I'll just bump it down to 160 permanently, and if ever it becomes something I absolutely need, Ill just bump it back....Thanks for all your amazing work..Donation on the way when I get home from work.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] john10101:
Maybe im the only one, but whats the visual difference between 160 and 161? why is 160 better?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
There are just some apps that wont run / scale correctly unless its at 160... they will just hang and load 4 ever or force close unless they are set at 1 of the 3 native densities for android application development... at least that's what I can glean.. no difference though in appearance, unless you're a cyborg.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] KimCheeZZ:
oh this is why my app list wouldnt populate. it doesnt bother me most of the time. everyone seems to have their dpi set for so low. i have mine at 132.33 if i remember it right. can't be any bigger than 140 for sure.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] javip:
can anyone give me an example of an app that crashes or does not show up on the market due to density conflicts?

the reason i ask is because i run hyperdroid on my HD2 at the default 167. this setting is just plain awesome compared to the 240. i have never had an issue with apps not showing up or crashes / anything due to resolution at this size.

or is this one of the default dev res' and i'm just talking nonsense.

let me know so i can test on my hd2.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mazook98:
Here's one...Try "Fruit Slice" at 161....then try it at others if you want...then run it at 160.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iball8888:
So these are two separate issues. One is general and the other more specific hoping for help on both.

1. Whenever I play music on my phone (no matter the app, i.e stock, mixzing, doubletwist, etc) I also get a laggy music/choppy. I am running ATK and I am closing everything and when I do I usuallt get 160-200 MB of RAM left. I still get the lag. Yes I turn my phone off/on occasionally, and yes my screen is off. It is really annoying to try to relax after a stressful day and your music chops up on you.

-----------------------------

2. Trying to play a certain anime on my phone but oddly enough it isn't playing right. It is a subbed MKV...but before you start let me just say, that I have watched other subbes MKV's with RockPlayer just fine. But no matter how many times I download the file or get a different version (MKV but bigger or small res or MB) it still with lag. Some will not play it will just freeze, some will be really out of sync. I eventually got it to "work" by using a pogram to turn it into a mp4 and then tell Mobo Player to play it with Soft-decoding.

Are there any apps that would play the mkv better? So far i have tried rockplayer, qqplayer, and moboplayer. Also what are the best settings to use Hand Brake with? Or is there a better program for Evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iball8888:
any help? I am still having the issue.
[Fascinate General] zskate311:
Seriously. Everytime I open up my xda app all I see is Ginger this Ginger that..for every phone but ours. Who else is gets annoyed by this? I know it makes me cringe everytime!

Of course no blame goes to our devs who are fantastic. I applaud them for doing what they have done with Sammy's seemingly awful coding (good luck Kaos!) Wish they spent as much time and money on their software as they do on hardware! (which consequently is brilliant!)

I know it sucks! But by the sounds of it we might get Froyo tomorrow...Not getting my hopes up. I wish Samsung/VZW would update the fascinate from 2.1 to 2.3.3
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I don't mind honestly... Just more of a reason for me to get an iPhone
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
I have to ask honestly and flame if you must, when you buy a phone with eclair, should you not assume you will never get anything else? Were you given a contract by verizon or samsung stating if you bought a specific phone, it was guaranteed to be further upgraded?

Just my 2 cents.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
^^^^^^

good day.
[Fascinate General] deaffob:
Yes we were told we would get the froyo in a couple of months but now almost a year has passed.

It doesn't help the fact that international sgs just got the official gingerbread.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Complain to Verizon and Samsung if you have an issue. Complaining here isn't going to get anything accomplished.
[Fascinate General] ashasaur:
Nope, it sure isn't. Remember...I am always watching....
[Fascinate General] D_Steve595:
I hate this kind of response.

When I buy a phone, upgrades and updates are part of my buying decision. They're probably part of yours too. If there's a phone with a 900mhz processor and locked to 2.1, and an identical phone but with an 800mhz processor that will be supported for years, I will choose the latter. Whether you like it or not, when the operating system updates this quickly, updates are a feature.

Sent from my Fascinate
[Fascinate General] Hatespawn:
I think the point here is that there never is any promise or guarantee of that support and I'm sorry but a sales person's word is no indication by any means. When we buy our phones we buy them as they are. To gripe about Samsung or Verizon's lack of promptness is ignorant and really annoying after seeing it so much. Normally you can trust the talented developers here to do better work anyway. The best approach is to wait patiently and support them in anyway you can whether it be logcats or donations.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
This is my first Android phone (I'd previously been on an old dumb phone made by Samsung, and it'd been reliable the for all the years), and the reps said that Froyo was coming 'soon', and Samsung had already began rolling Froyo out for the Samsung Galaxy S in Europe a few weeks before- I figured it'd be at most a few weeks, not realizing that 'Galaxy S' did not include any of the phones sold in the US!

I was also fooled about the quality of the GPS, when I was first testing it out, I always thought it locked instantly, because I was always around wifi (and Google's Location services have wifi routers geolocated down fairly well). And when I wasn't around WiFi, I saw the big blue circle and assumed that was the GPS just slowly loading, not Verizon's cellular triangulation doing all the work while the GPS was just robbing my battery and doing nothing with it.

At the time, I was hesitant to go with Android. I knew that the devices were generally fairly low quality, while getting slow updates... but the iPhone hadn't been announced on Verizon, and I wanted to do application development, which is massively cheaper to get into on Android than the iPhone ($25 vs $100 + a mac).

Next device will be from a reputable manufacturer, I've learned my lesson.
[Fascinate General] zskate311:
I know what phone I bought. Thanks for your concern though. Also our phone actually was guaranteed to be further upgraded quite sometime ago.

I'm not complaining at all, in fact I don't see one word in the OP that looks like a complaint. Just asking a simple question if other people cry a bit inside when they see gingerbread in the "latest" category all the time.. excluding our phone.

As previously stated, for the sake of amazing devs I wish Samsung didn't code things like imbeciles.

Sent from my fascination with voodoo
[Fascinate General] Hatespawn:
I don't think there's anyone who would disagree with this. It's honestly disappointing how much more talented the devs seem to be when compared to Samsung's team. Good for the devs but you'd think a multi-billion dollar company could hire some better programmers.
[Fascinate General] lane32x:
We are finally getting sources for froyo, and now you are already complaining that we don't have gingerbread???

Sheesh.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Where is this "guarantee"?

And like many have said before, sales reps, service reps, and tech reps don't count. They are only trying to sell you a phone and a contract, or placate you with the current setup you already have.

Neither Samsung nor Verizon have officially said the Fascinate will be upgraded.
[Fascinate General] zskate311:
I'm not complaining about not having gingerbread. Like i said earlier its just annoying seeing it all over the place when opening up my XDA premium app.

(please don't respond to this with a childish comment saying "well don't use your XDA app then dohh") we arent 5 y.o. here

simple google search proves my point. If you want a direct quote i guess i can search more, but for me this suffices.

[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
That article is almost a year old. Therefore it proves nothing other than hurting your argument rather than helping it.
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
I agree with you, but my point to the OP is, did anyone tell you the fascinate would get 2.3? I agree that they had a press release when the phone released about 2.2, but I have not heard anyone at samsung say anything about a fascinate getting 2.3. Would it be nice, ya. But does samsung have some moral resposibility to make non critical updates to the phone? No. I will never argue the froyo point, I was speaking in generalities.
[Fascinate General] renf:
I think you accidentally a word
[Fascinate General] zskate311:
How does this hurt my point? No matter how old an article is a promise is a promise. And I'm sorry I didn't spend the time to find an article with a more acceptable time table.

Also in regards to gingerbread, Sammy did say that the "entire" galaxy line would be updated to android 2.3

I can find that article as well if you really need it

Sent from my fascination with voodoo
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
Lets say that article exsists. Then why would anyone be complaining? If they said the entire line is getting the update then what's the point of the articles bashing sammy? Would it not make more sense to start complaining when sammy announces they would not bring the update to our phone after announcing they would? If verizon or samsung broke a contract with you then they are legally obligated to release you from yours. So if anyone feels they were duped or wronged, file legal documents with the courts and get yourself a new phone.
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
So I looked at that article, which doesn't really say anything, and then looked at the source: a tweet from Samsung Mobile USA. OK, credible source. But look at what the tweet says:

"Galaxy S phones will come with Android 2.1 and be upgradeable to Android 2.2 which will support Adobe Flash 10.1 #GalaxyS

3:54 PM Jun 29th, 2010 via TweetDeck

Retweeted by 38 people"

Upgradeable. Of course they are upgradeable. But this isn't a guarantee that they will be upgraded. Nor does it give a timeline. So I would still like to see this "guarantee."
[Fascinate General] zskate311:
People, I have said earlier that I am not complaining about anything. I simply wanted to know if other people get annoyed seeing the Ginger(some name) roms for all the other phones on their xda app as soon as they open it. I wish we could bypass that so didnt have to see it because honestly i get a tad jealous lol. (Don't tell me to get a new phone because thats a no go as this hardware is amazing)

This is what this whole thread was supposed to be about, others opinions on if it does or does not annoy them as well.

Wow honestly i did not catch that "upgradable" bit, so touché!! Although i never said anything about a timeline. All i was proving is that Sammy did say they were going to support the phone beyond its shipping date

This is what i did catch from a different source :)

https://twitter.com/#!/samsungtweets/status/21619272165883905

and it does say to "all" U.S. galaxy S "owners." It does not say to all carriers and we hope they send it to you ;). Still like i said this is not the conversation I intended to have here.

AGAIN- Not complaining so please don't say I am

If you want to bypass all the other forums, set this forum as a favorite. Then when you open the app, you won't see anything about GB ROMs until we get one :)

[Fascinate General] DirgeExtinction:
I'm behind Sammy. I own a couple of their products, and they're all top notch. Hardware-wise, they're amazing. But really, it really must tell you something when every international galaxy S phone(regardless of carrier) is already on Froyo moving to Gingerbread while the US variants are barely getting Froyo. The US carriers seem to have too much power/preference over certain phones and manufacturers.

The way I saw it was like this: AT&T didn't update the Captivate on time because they didn't want to steal the iPhone's thunder. T-Mobile didn't update theirs on time because they have preference for their MyTouch and G-series line. Sprint didn't because of their Evo line. Verizon didn't because of their Droid line. I bet that if the Fascinate was branded a Droid phone, it would've been updated loooooong ago.

Just my little conspiracy theory. ;)
