Is there a way to get better quality photos not using Facebook synced photos? Even the photos from google (gtalk) are bad quality
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Atticustrd:
I just sync contacts once turn off auto sync than manually added pictures to my contacts. I don't use twitter or Facebook though so don't know if it will work for those apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
This has been a continued thing with HTC. You'd think they would've fixed it, or allowed you to choose how the picture is displayed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxpower47:
I've been trying haxsync and it downloads the higher res photos fine, and I can manually set them as the preferred photo for a contact, but after a while it reverts back to the low res version. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blackroseMD1:
Hasn't happened to me yet, that I've noticed...but I'll keep an eye out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
It's an ICS thing, the pics are synced with Google and stored there so they downres them. IIRC you can just replace them with higher res images and it should stick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Actually, it's been happening for much longer. And when you manually set up the picture in your Google contacts list, it still comes out low resolution. You could use a 1080p image, and it will still come out like @$$.

I've got an email into HTC. Maybe they have something to say about it. I'll post what I get back... in 30 days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Google stores contact pictures in a more compressed, low resolution form. I assume that they do this to keep the necessary storage space down. If they took full quality pictures for everyone and stored all of them, imagine the space that would take. Hopefully there's a better way to do it in the future.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Well, even storing the picture on the phone locally, it still does the same thing. I think it's not just Google. Sense does the same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ez2bgman:
I have the same issue. On my OG Evo and Evo 3D, I created duplicate contacts with nice high res pics of the people I talk to most and set them to Phone. I then exported the Phone contacts to SD card. Once I linked them to my google contacts the pics would remain in hi-res.

This does not work with the LTEvo. I even went through and manually created new Phone contacts with hi-re pics for several of my contacts, linked them to my Google contacts and they are still blurry.

I may delete my contacts, re-sync with google and start all over and see if that helps. There has to be a better way to do this.

What's the point of a 720P 4.7" display if the contact pics look like crap?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AntBellJr:
It's a known google problem like a few people have said, not sense. I've used programs like HD contacts or HD contact photos in order to sync and save contact photos. Once you're photo syncs with google, you'll get your low res photos.

[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
I have made a widget in which you can choose to display time, date, system information or your own quote in an easy way.

The best thing about this widget is that you can choose between over 60 fonts, and more are coming.

The layout of the widget is made so that it should be as easy as possible to make a great looking widget.

You can customize 2 texts in the same widget.

You can set the XY position of the text, its size, color, shadow, shadow size and position, background options and much more.

I would love to get some feedback on bugs, settings, preferred fonts and more.

[Android Apps and Games] akabadnews:
I like how you can preview what it will look like in all the different fonts instead of just the one you select at a time. I haven't downloaded it, but I was wondering if it allows you to pull fonts from your SD card? As I have a folder with all of my custom fonts.
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
Looks cool...how do I add more than 1 element to a widget.

e.g. Time + Date on one widget? Am I being dumb? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
Right now you can't do that, but I will try to add that function in future updates.

If you want you can email me that folder, and I will add some of the fonts you have there to the widget:)

Email: Bolling.ludwig@gmail.com
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
Right now you can't, so you are not dumb. I am working on how to add that function, without making the app UI to complex. If you have any idéas please share them with me:)
[Android Apps and Games] djmcnz:
Yes, I agree - it would likely require quite a UI change... your UI is good by the way.

You could keep a similar UI I suppose... have an 'Add new object' (eg) to the 'Text' tab (Time/System/Quote) and then the 'Font' and 'Shadow' tabs could be context-sensitive to whatever item was selected on the 'Text' tab. You would need to indicate what object was highlighted on all tabs.

Then, 'Text' could become 'Preview' and the 'Background' tab could actually be merged with the 'Preview' tab.

Only an idea... happy to discuss... :)
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
I like the idéas. I have begun to implement a similar idéa. I will have 4 tabs, Text1, text2, text3, and background. Each text tab control one text object on the widget, and can fully customize it. Text options and shadow options have been integrated to one, in each text tab. And to make sure that the preeview image is visible at all times it has been fixed at the top, and only the settings are scrollable. The font tab will be remowed and replaced by a button which launches a pop-up with all selectable fonts. The background-tab will handle background and general setting that are the same for all the text objects.

I think this would be the easiest approach, concerning user friendliness.

What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] john9:
This looks very impressive!
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
Thx man! And it will be even more interesting in the future!
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
The next update will be out soon, but I am bashing my head in the wall unable to solve a wierd bug:

On some phones the phone needs to be rebooted after the widget have been installed in order to make the widget update itself. You can add it once, but if you configure it and make changes, it wont take effect until you reboot the phone, and after that you can make as many changes as you like...

Any idéas?
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
I found a fix for this. Will be out in the next update. If anyone is more interested in this fix, just PM me.

Hi,

Any chance you can put a feature where the widget will display the contents of a specified file (eg: /sdcard/something.txt) with a customisable number of minues where the file will be re-read?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ~kyle:
Hi, first of all...thanks for a great app. I've had several people ask me about it.

Secondly, is there a chance you could either make version 3.2 available or add the fonts that were removed from that version? I'm specifically looking for the font in the third screenshot in the first post.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
Sure thing! I will start working on it immediately! Thanks for the tip.

Glad to hear it!

I will get that font back in the next version, sorry I took it away!

If you have any other suggestions of fonts please let me know!

[Android Apps and Games] ~kyle:
Got it, thanks again Bolling!
[Android Apps and Games] wkwkwk:
Thanks for this, however, I was actually after something else.

I wanted to display inside the widget the actual contents of a file stored somewhere on the sdcard.

For example, I have a script that outputs something into a file (/sdcard/something.txt) and I would like (if possible) the widget to display the contents of that file.

Cheers and thanks for your work.
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
Aha like a text or a image? I will try to fix that in future updates, thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Bolling:
Version 3.9 out, includes buggfixes and more fonts.
[Android Apps and Games] wkwkwk:
I think text should be fine, thank you.

This widget is great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
Just got my Realook Screen protector, they just came out and arrived today. These are the hard plastic kind so they feel like glass. $12 for two from Amazon. I had one on my Epic 4G for 1.5 years without a problem. I've tried others, like Zagg and Phantom Skinz, don't compare to the hard plastic. I kind of wanted to try the Steinheil this time, but I figured why not stick with what works.

I just installed it. Took me a few tries to get it perfectly centered since it covers the entire screen, including the capacative buttons. Installed it after I took a shower to minimize the dust. Two remaining dust specs I removed using the included scotch tape.

How does it feel? Just as I expected. Can't even tell its on, feels slick like glass.

Here's some quick pictures. Checkout the reflection of my bathroom light, shows ZERO orange peel effect.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
how durable is it? my only gripe with Steinheil is that it scratches somewhat easily
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Awesome. I ordered mine last week and should be arriving any day now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] .torrented:
What about the proxy sensor does it cover that too or is there a cutout

Sent from my Otterbox'd Evo LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
its not glass hard but I only had one major scratch on my epic after 1.5 years.

no cutout for the proxy sensor, it completely covers the glass. screen still turns off during a call I can do more testing. seems ok so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CSDeeds:
The problems I've seen with the screen protector covering the prox sensor is that the screen won't turn on during a call when you look at the phone. So if you get another phone call and take the phone away from your head to look at the screen to see who is calling it stays dark and you can't look.

Is that the case with this or does it still detect when its not next to your head so you can look at the screen during a call?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jumbeemann:
nice, can barely tell its on. I might have to pick one of these up
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] butterbuns:
What are you doing taking the pics in your bathroom?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
He installed it in the bathroom after getting nice and steamy which helps reduce the dust in the air.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
ha exactly! plus I wanted a bright light to show the reflection in the screen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
I just did a quick test by calling my voice mail and the screen turned on when I pulled the phone away from my head.

I think if I'm talking for a while and the phone gets greasy sometimes it doesn't turn on so I have to flick the power button to turn the screen on. I don't remember if it was the same way before the screen protector
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
skinomi also make really good screen protectors:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:
Do they both work the same way in backing up and restoring apps? Or does one work better than the other?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kevinyohh:
I've been playing around with Go Backup since I stopped using Titanium Backup because I can't pay for it right now. You should give it a try if the only thing you need is a backup of your apps and data.

The widgets looks and behaves ok, but I keep getting this error regardless of which app/activity is active. I even went to /data/data/com.anddoes.fancywidgets/files/ to see if those files exist, and indeed they do exist, so I'm not sure who's complaining and why it's complaining.

Does anyone know what this means?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pernunz:
Hi guys,

Basically I want the benefits of Smart Alert (the vibrate when you pick the phone up if you have a missed call or message), but because the default messaging client is rubbish, I use Handcent SMS. Unless I want to deal with the double notification from Messaging and Handcent, I can't seem to find a way to get Smart Alert to work with Handcent SMS.

Does anyone have any ideas as to if this is possible?

Also, a quick secondary question that may need it's own thread. On my SGS1 I used Tasker to sync my podcasts in the morning by turning on WiFi and Autosync. I tried to set up the same script I had before, but Auto-Sync 'is unavailable on this device' which is really grinding my gears.

Thanks xda, keep up the great work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhuff83:
Would be nice if this would work on Handcent. I set it as the default app for messaging. Maybe handcent has to fix this on their end.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
It isn't a Handcent problem, it only works with the default messaging app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhuff83:
Thanks for the quick response. Maybe some of the talented devs here can get that to work with handcent in the future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunglebp:
I use Hancent too but I DO have smart sense working, what to do is set Handcent as the defualt app but in the STOCK messaging app make sure that Notification and auto receive are ON

Voila when received text I can read on Handcent but phone still vibrates until marked as read....I know its not full fix but atleast it works :D

HELP!!! :confused:

Im stuck on boot logo and I cannot flash anything on PC Odin. And I cannot access Recovery Mode (Neither CWM or system recovery). I can only go into Download Mode. :(

I was on CheckRom NoteHD and I used the kitchen app to download franco kernel and one of the mods (Use camera flash below 15% to be precise) and as soon as I installed, it didn't let me boot back into Checkrom!!! And Now im stuck on boot logo no matter how hard I try. I did try flashing the wipe ROM (Pre-rooted Open Europe 2.3.6 LC1), I also tried flashing the CF-Root file but still no luck. PC Odin says failed in between the process!! :(

Please Help me guys.. I don't know what really went wrong as I have installed stuff from the KitchenPro App before.

What can I do now? :confused:

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
First this:Turn off the device and pull the battery, wait for 30 seconds and try to get in recovery mode, if that works reflash CheckRom. If that doesn`t work pull the battery again and get in downloadmode and connect to the pc and see if Odin recognizes the phone. If it does flash any stock rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
I tried the exact same thing you mentioned and no, it doesn't go into recovery mode. and yes, it does go into download mode but it fails to flash. I tried 2-3 different firmware versions of 2.3.6, 4.0.3 and I'm pretty sure the downloaded files aren't corrupt!! I don't know what to do...

The only thing working is getting to download mode but then thats no point since I can't flash any ROM. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
There are threads about reviving recovery i think on xda, haven`t needed them so far but look around and you will find them. If you can`t restore recovery or downloadmode then it`s off to the shop i guess :(

"Battery Too Low, Can't Download"

Now there's another problem. :confused::confused::confused:

Not only I Can't flash anything, I can't even get to Download Mode because the battery is low.

When I press the Vol Down + Power + Home key, I get "Low Battery, Can't Download" in red font.

I left my phone on charge through the AC port and I had no idea it wouldn't charge. The only thing was that my phone was exteremly hot but still with zero battery. I even tried plugging the phone through the USB cable but still no luck.

I removed battery for few minutes upto 30 mins and put it back in and plugged in the charger but all I see is the empty battery symbol keeps flashing every 5 seconds.

Is there any way I can charge my battery and get back to download mode so I could try flashing the stock kernel to get past the boot screen? I even tried plugging in the USB jig that I used with my SGSII previously, but it was of no use as well.

Please Help!!! :confused:
