Rotate it once the wrong way, then rotate it back, and it will save as the correct orientation when you go to send the MMS.

Annoying, but not the end of the world.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Photographers throughout the history of cameras have taken portrait photos for various purposes, including the fact that some photos lend themselves better to portrait. Taking a photo of a single person or two people? Good chance portrait is the better choice. While I hate people who don't turn their phones when taking a video as much as the next guy, that doesn't extend to smugly ignoring the reasons why people might choose to take portrait pictures and pretending there's no legitimate need. There are plenty, and any photographer who hears you claim the iPhone started that would slap you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
That is so true. I prefer taking a portrait picture when it is of one person or two perhaps a couple or two friend wanting a full picture together for memories. Meanwhile a landscape picture doesn't get a full body picture. I'm using "vignette" from the market in case you guys didn't read that post. It writes the orientation correctly to the picture so far when sending them or sharing them. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
You must be lucky cuz no matter what way i rotate it it's still wrong. Only way it works for me is if i connect to a PC and rotate them there. They also show up sideways when hooked to a PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I dislike this feature too. I take a lot of pictures and upload them to Twitter and they're the wrong orientation a lot of the times. My old phone used to upload them how I took them :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I send a message to a dev and asked him as well on a thread if he can try to help us out with this "feature" of samsung devices lol.. he said he would take a look for us on here soon! =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
This "feature" is so annoying! I hope he works up a fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheDudeAbides:
I've found a few work arounds for portait photos being sent in landscape.

1) Select photo while using Instagram App. That will then save your photo in Gallery under "Instagram". Send away :)

2) Open Camera Gallery, select photo, press option button (left most soft key on phone, don't know what thats called), select Crop, save Crop. Send away :)

Pain. In. The. Ass.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
For those who didn't catch it... using vignette helps bypass this issue! :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] riggs170:
I am glad you posted something about this because it was driving me crazy, just upgraded to blazer 4.1 and it started doing the rotation on portrait. Thanks to you sir
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Has any Dev taken a look at this? I'm still patiently waiting for swamp goblin. :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] batting1000:
You can also set the scene mode in the stock camera to Portrait and it will take it up and down or Landscape for side to side.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
There camera is so rigged. I tried the portrait scene just to see if it really shared pictures taken under it. It still shares them in landscape ...

The more the public see these phones getting hotter and thus at the top of the list, the better for Windows Phone overall. Who knows, more purchases may be made and more apps sold and more developer support. This can only be a good thing for us all.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JLR_F1986:
I have been experiencing annoying unresponsive issues with my prime while connected through HDMI to my TV. I will start watching a TV show or movie without problems... until I choose to watch another episode/movie, then the tablet doesn't recognize my touch. At first, I thought it was the Netflix app, but then I noticed that the issue replicated in other apps, browser, keyboard, even while selecting a recent app... In the browser (any browser i try)is even more annoying - if I attempt to enter a web address, the browser will act up, zoom in, refresh and even minimize itself...

I have been using HDMI for a week so I'm not sure if this is related to the most recent software update. Has anybody experience this issue? Any known solutions??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Mine works flawlessly. C2 serial, running the latest virtuous from with beta kernel from motley.

I was movies and different TV shows usually in 720p (1080p takes up too much room!)
[HTC Desire S] WStealth:
I have a fried eMMC chip. But the phone is on 6.98.0000 boot loader.

I would like to break the phone completely, to hide that the phone was S-OFF.

How can I do that?

Unfortunately, all of the software methods (adb, fastboot) doesn't work for me.

I'm interesting in hardware actions.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Drop it in a bowl of water?

Stick in in the oven with your pizza?

Microwave it like a gremlin?

Run over it with an Abrahms tank?

Need I go on? :D
[HTC Desire S] WStealth:
Oh. I'm serious.

Are there any ways to do that?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I am serious as well. There is nothing you could do (AFAIK) to break the hardware that wouldn't be massively obvious to the guys at HTC when you returned the phone for warranty repair.

Are you 100% certain it is a fried eMMC? Have you checked this thread;-

GUIDE Possible FIX for the infamous eMMC problem..
[HTC Desire S] WStealth:
Yes. I've tried everything. :(
[HTC Desire S] WStealth:
How is it possible that guys from the HTC support, will not recognize that the phone was in microwave oven?
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
They might well do. I was trying to make a point to you - you may just be out of luck with this one unless you find somebody at HTC who is very incompetent or very kind.
[HTC Desire S] WStealth:
Thank you.

So, as I understand - I will pay 180 euro for the HTC issue. (I done S-OFF on November and everything works fine for 5 months until I removed the battery).

I think it's the last my HTC phone. :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I think your best chance is to dump it in a bowl of water like Simon said.

Its the least obvious way to induce visible physical damage to the phone. Open up the battery compartment, take out the battery/similar/SD card etc then just dunk it in!

Leave it for about 5 minutes. Then after that dry it. Make sure its dried very well.

Not sure how you might prevent this, but try not to get water on the inside if the screen.

Maybe a better I idea is to get a cup of water, open the battery compartment, can pour tiny drops over the internal components, in hope of successfully damaging them.

Then maybe it won't get to the screen.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I'm not entirely sure that blaming HTC for this is exactly fair. Yes, the eMMC issue does catch a few people - but not many as a percentage. However, you chose to root your phone, despite all the very clear warnings that it would invalidate the warranty if anything went wrong.

I, and I suspect many others here, also made that choice - knowing that the benefits of rooting were huge and that the risks were worth it. I was one of the very first to root as I bought an XTC Clip before there was any software way of achieving S-Off - so I knew damn well that if I screwed up I had lost everything. If I had done then I wouldn't have dreamed of blaming HTC for what I had done.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I wouldn't consider any method involving water, as the phone has at least one moisture detection strip inside it

Just cross your fingers and then Send it back and hope they fix it

unless you want a lump of flaming plastic avoid the microwave

[HTC Desire S] shaggyskunk:
I'd imagine that if someone got a usb charging cable... Cut the insulation off part of the cable.... Plugged it into a phone.. & electric outlet... Pour some (VERY LITTLE) water on the broken cable... The short should fry the phone... DON'T DO THIS! DON'T BE IN BARE FEET! WEAR RUBBER SOLE SHOES!

[HTC Desire S] djisgod:
your advising him to pour water on a live exposed wire? yeah thats not a good idea if you like being alive.
[HTC Desire S] shaggyskunk:
I'm NOT advising anyone to do anything!

I'm just imagining what might happen to a phone ... If that happened.

Obviously, no one would be standing in the water.. And if the outlet has GFCI, like most bathroom outlets, the person would be protected...

Ever see a microwave explode... Gee, that's safe??!

Sent From my Two Tin Cans & String Device on The Wookie Network
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Nothing would happen. The amount of current going through the USB cable is very minimal. Assuming that the water would even short it to begin with, nothing would happen to the phone at all since the short would cause the current to go back into the adapter, it won't even reach the phone. The adapter would most likely cut out the power supply going into the USB upon experiencing a short and go into safety mode until it is unplugged for a minute or so.
[HTC Desire S] mouzzza:
If you have the time to wait, do not send your device untill HTC is giving out update to ICS. There they will get back more devices bricked throug updating (Problem with syncing more than one app at once in market, ...)!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
I've sent mine back and it came back fully repaired. No costs, water or microwaves necessary.

Just make sure not to send the battery or sd card.

Work-In-Progress

Domain is up

AppFeed.net

​

Coomon problem:

As many of you knows, there is no app or service for Android where users can request notifications of application updates, especially the price changes (mainly price drop), or updates for slow updating apps.

Solution:

My solution was to develop a website where users can add applications to a list, and get a unique RSS/Atom feed that notifies them whenever the apps gets updated (Price, Version, etc).

The feed can be added to any application that support it: Desktop Readers/notifiers (tested with Thunderbirds), Web-based readers (Tested with Google Reader).

I intended to add other forms of notifications, but later found that with the service if this then that I can create tasks that monitor my unique feed that do everything else: Email notifications, Twitter posts, or any other channel provided by the ifttt.com service.

Usage examples:

Some usage examples for such a service:

1) I like a paid app, but its cost is a bit high for me, so I add the app to my watch list to get notified if/when the app gets on sale, instead of having to check frequently or miss an opportunity to get the app during a great sale (happened to me few times already).

2) I like and played a game, and finished all levels, the developer promised extra levels, instead of leaving the game installed on my device and wait for updates, I can uninstall it and add it instead to my list and get notified when it's updated.

3) With Android Play Store auto update feature enabled, I miss most app updates, with notifications on selected apps I can see when those apps gets updated.

4) Other usages...

Status of the project

Currently this project is being developed and tested by just myself, and it seems to be working as expected. But to have a good service, I need some to extra help to test it better, to suggest features, etc.

What is mainly missing is some legal advice, such as a privacy policy and term of service, and on whether I can put up such a service (does Google allow this kind of service? knowing they do not provide API for the Google Play).

What is still missing the some text, I am not a native-English speaker so still trying to put things correctly.

Privacy

I take privacy issues very seriously.

To make this service work, I opted for using 3rd party sign-in (Google and Twitter), what is saved on the DB is a hash of the sso unique token, not even I can get the clear one. User name and email are required, and are saved encrypted in the DB (with AES), and get decrypted only during login to show your name on the top bar, nothing else.

Here is a screenshot of the main wishlist:

For the authentication I use the HybridAuth library, and this is the minimum that I can ask for from Google for use the OAuth authentication, if there is anything less, I'll do it, but I can't find how.

They're a legit company. I bought my Gnex to them last month but the shipping might, it takes 6 days before they ship it.

Hey do you think HTC one X is much better than Gnex?

if it's good I'll sell my Gnex and buy the one X. :-)
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
depends if your tight on cash or anything......

It's a great phone, definitely better hardware-wise. Not sure if it justifies the cost over a Galaxy Nexus though. User experience will be fairly similar as in smooth throughout. Galaxy Nexus obv has the edge in ROMs and development, will get Jellybean sooner etc...

Battery life is worse from what I'm seeing, but camera etc...are better. Still, the camera isn't the best out there surprisingly.

Great phone if your in the market for a new one, but IMO not really justifying the switch to it from a Gnex.

Hi,

I am tried a lot to flash stock ROM to my galaxy R but everytime it failed. I am using Windows 7 and odin. Everytime odin start writing the rom but it radomly freezes when screen autolocks or display goes off. Why this is happeing? Why can't in recovery mode screen keep itself active? I am unable to stop phone display going off. Please help me to flash my mobile as its currently unusable.

Odin log shows then removed when display goes off.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] m.kochan10:
recovery mode? It has nothing to do with flashing via Odin.

To install your FW u must enter the download mode: volume down + home + power

Anyway if your screen goes off itself in recovery mode or download mode then it's an abnormal behavior that can rather indicate HW issue.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
oh sorry if that is wrong term I used. I thought to flash using odin I need to go recovery mode using vol up+ power ON + Menu key combination.

What I need is just to have working phone with stock 2.3.5 ROM. Using odin it fails sometimes say 30% or 50% or even 70%. The same ROM I have flashed successfully but always touching the finger on display to active the phone screen. But same is not working now.

Reason I flashed or flashing is that my phone started radomly restarting and if I off it and wait for 2-3 hrs then it will start. So I decided to flash my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] ishafiq:
Download mode doesn't auto-lock. Are you sure ur in download mode?

I had exactly the same problem of odin restart in download mode. Removing the SD card and SIM card and try flashing it.

took fr service as phone restarted often and they change the PBA(Printed board assembly) for me.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] panu123:
Yes, after some radom time and before rom writing finishes, screen locks(looses display so odin removes that device) and writing fails.

I have tried more that 15 times and yes all those tried without SIM and SD card.

I purchases this 4 months back only but as I have flashed it and phone is not working did I loose the warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Try again with this steps

1. Download stock rom package (use checkfus)

2. Turn off ur phone now hold vol down key+home key+powerkey

3. Ur phone will boot in download mode u will see warning, press vol up to continue

4. Now open odin on ur pc, connect phone usind cable and wait till box turns yellow noe chose downloaded stock rom package in pda

5. Check auto reboot, reset time and make sure re partion is not checked and click start

6. Wait till process complet u will see progress bar on phone and odin
