Hello all,

is there any way to turn off auto focus on video recording? To make a video with auto focus on is very sad. I hope someone of you has an idea.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JF-GINO:
There might be a solution in the future and the person working on it started this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1104051

Furthermore, I heard that the T-mobile version of the SGS2 has a camera.apk that does not have focus problems - even on GSM Arena they say that the PRE-Focus on record bug is also gone.

I am hoping that maybe someone can rip the camera.apk (deodiex it) from the stock SGS2 T-mobile firmware and try it on our phone as they have the exact same camera modules and shared lib's.

Until then - we will probably have to wait till Potatoman gets back to working on his mod.

[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Okay, so I just flashed today's (10/12/2011) nightly update of Cyanogenmod 7 (or CM7DX) and I noticed that the vast majority of my videos won't play no matter which play I use. At first I thought it was just a glitch in the 3D Galley, but then I came to find out that none of the players I downloaded would play my vids. Is this one of the normal CM7DX glitches? Or are my video files corrupted? Please help, thanks!

Btw, I would flash back to my last stock rom, but my phone is currently on the charger here at work. Lol.
[Droid X General] lkjhgfd:
Its one of the problems CM7 has. The camera ans Youtube also will not work.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Camera and YouTube work when the fix is flashed. I believe that CyanogenMod can't play videos taken with the blur video camera.
[Droid X General] polecat409:
You need to try CM4DX GB (DroidX CM7.1 with Gingerbread Kernel). All of the above issues are working out of the box, no additional fixes needed! I use this as my daily driver, very stable...

Hi guys....still fighting the good fight? I havent been around much lately I know. I was away for awhile for our ceramonies and when I got home my continuum was dead! No boot, no recovery, no download mode and it doesnt seem to be charging at all. So now Im stuck in dialup hell again hahaha.And even though it was used when I bought it didnt have any problems so Im almost certain my little brother had everything to do with it hehe :-| Since I have a Verizon prepay monthly account I got no insurance so unless a miracle happens I will probably be buying another phone and leaving you fine people. I just hope I can activate a different phone and still keep my unlimted data???

[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
Well, that's hell. Reminds me how nice it was to be an only child. Peek in occasionally and wave. But, to answer your question: You should. Data is tied to the number, not the phone it'self.
[Continuum General] imnuts:
Maybe see if VZW will send you a replacement battery, or take it into a store and they may be able to help? You could also contact Samsung as the phone hasn't been out for more than a year, so it should still be covered under the factory warranty as well, they may be able to fix it for you.
[Continuum General] spearoid:
I believe Imnuts is right. I have seen two Continuums replaced for free by way of Samsung's one-year warranty. The Verizon agents didn't seem to know or care that I had replaced one already by way of manufacturer's warranty
[Continuum General] imnuts:
Yeah, you should be able to get it fixed that way. Not saying you want to keep the Continuum, but I'd at least try that as it should be cheaper than buying a new phone.

Im finally back....good thing I got lotsa sibs...my brother just got DROID 3 so he gave me his old X...have a droid 1, devour, bionic, pro, 2 X's, an incredible, fascinate, continuum, and a play between all of us and I've rooted all of em except the Sony (once my phone died I had to play with sump haha)...anyway wanted to say thanks to all who helped me.

[HTC Amaze 4G] superevo89:
Plugged my usb cord into my computer and it says to be plug into ac adapter cause usb is not sufficient enough to charge. It shows that it's charging but when I lock the screen and didn't even touch it with usb connected to the computer my battery just dies and its set to charge only. :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
Sound like your computer's USB port is screwed up and is not outputting enough current to charge the device.

If you have a powered USB hub handy, plug it into that, or try another USB port on your computer.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevo89:
I'll see if that works just weird though since I was using the same port for my previous 3 phones and they would charge pretty fast but not this time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] domin8:
whats odd is my gf just texted me and said that her cable isnt charging her phone at all. i'm going to have to go pick up her charger and stuff and test/return it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
Prob , you don't have the driver's installed .
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevo89:
My battery reading is really inconsistent was charger on a outlet said 28% rebooted then said 78% rebooted a couple of mins later and now it says 60% :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] devcurious:
This particular phone may need the entire 500mA of current that USB ports are supposed to capable of supplying. The error on the computer may be because when the phone connects, and tells the computer that it wants 500mA of current, one of three things happens:

1.) The computer says no and throws an error.

2.) The computer said yes, but when the phone actually tries to draw the current, the hardware of the computer can't provide it.

3.) The Amaze doesn't ask if it's okay to draw 500mA (to which the PC may respond no), and just starts drawing the current, causing a hardware fault on the computer.

Your previous phones may not have required as much current, therefore not causing any issues.

I don't know this for sure, but I've done some programming with USB drivers and I know that "handshake" when a device plugs in, does happen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbyphoenix:
Happened to me to. Same thing with the notice to use wall charger. Dumb. All my other phones work with PC. Just not this one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] theGleep:
Just had this happen, except...

* I didn't get the "you should plug into a wall" message

* Using the USB of the computer seemed to *suck* power from the phone; anti-charging, if you will. :confused:

I've got a wallcharger on it now. Maybe tomorrow I'll try my USB3 port for it...
[HTC Amaze 4G] theGleep:
The USB3 didn't help...

what drivers do I need to install? My G2 charged just fine on this computer.

What I have going on now is an older USB "y" cable for an external hard drive; one side of the "y" is data + power, the other is just power. I've got the "just power" side of the "Y" plugged into a wall jack...charges fine now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] s6a6n6d6m6a6n:
Trial and Error fixed it

Guys, i found the solution, by trial and error...

forget about USB 3.0, drivers, micro/mini USb, app tweaks, AC usb charger etc.... You know what turned out to be the culprit ??

THE CABLE !

I realized that this charging issue happened only when using the aftermarket cable i bought from ebay, as an extra one to have on hand. While the backup cable was also OEM. (i could tell from the corn-plastic bag it came in...)

And all along it has worked fine for data transfer, sync etc, and also when charging it does in fact say it's charging... - only thing in actual it's draining.

So i downloaded the 'battery monitor widget' and kept a close eye on the mA number as i tried out different combinations of cables, stock and aftermarket along with stock and aftermarket AC chargers i had and all USB ports on my laptop.

With the cable from ebay mA was rather in negative using with all power sources, including USB.

With the stock cable from the box, it was a steady +200 to +350 on USB power, +400 to +700 on AC power.

Now the after market cable is also OEM, but it appears to be for another HTC phone, that the HTC Amaze 4G doesn't accept.

Also if your AC charger is model TC E250 it's only gonna show up as USB and not AC in battery status.

You need AC charger model TC U250 for the HTC Amaze 4G to be fired up.

There! That was what was wrong.

Hope this helps.

i'm using GO LAUNCHER EX.

I've tested ADW and LP, but GO LAUNCHER is the best for me:

- i can change all icons, with my own pictures (fine for the web favorites), or with all the icons of the GO themes (you can take one of Classic theme, one of Gingerbread theme...)

- Dock can be personnalised to (transparent, color, picture..)

- it's smooth, no fc

- wallpaper of the app menu can be change too

- there's a lot of widget on the market from GO (free or paid)

- many themes on market or go store (free or paid)

the only problem is that we can't have timescape widget with GO.

... but since the 2.3 update, the pictures on timescape are so ugly... that's not so important now!! :p
