Okay mate. I'll answer the original post for you.

No. There is no way "to not use bright Mode when taking photos".

Now the rest of the thread is suggestions by, and for, other users as to how to get round the issue.

I ain't having a go mate, but lighten up. If someone proposes a reasonable workround then I'm sure you'll be happy.
[HD2 General] DMAND:
LOL +1, The guy is clearly confused :D

Anyway back on topic, does the 1.66 ROM freshly flashed have the same issues?
[HD2 General] paulking:
yeah!!! Tell their mummys aswel!!!!
[HD2 General] beyondthought:
Good Question. Anyone with 1.66 know??
[HD2 General] lordmartyn:

SOLVED!

Set the camera to ISO 100 and your brightness worries will be diminished! :)

[HD2 General] larrytango:
The cam flash is a bit bright .. this is what i do (until a fix happens) i turn off the flash on the cam .. but turn on the led using torch app (since i have Microsoft voice command i just say start torch b4 i take a pic lol) obviously its not great but at least i have been able to take some pics
[HD2 General] n4v1n:
ROFLMAO funny as hell and so random
[HD2 General] beyondthought:
LOL, give us a break dude!! do you really think we havnt tried things as simple as that! :p
[HD2 General] paulking:
Best thing to do is cover 3 quaters of the flash with electrical tape, still a bit bright but its much better.
[HD2 General] bigwelly2000:
ISO 100

Yep, downloaded and installed HTC camera hotfix - set to ISO100 works like a charm - thanks lordmartyn

There should definitely be a software fix as we know HTC can control the flash to at least 3 different states (see the Flashlight app!)

Hi guys, I've had my HD2 for a few weeks now and i'm loving it (Just come from an iPhone aswell). But there are two things anoying me, and I want to fix them.

1. Is there anyway to stop the Squares showing in the Email preview, as far as I know they are image placeholders and they make the email preview look a mess.

2. Is there a way to download all the images in the email message automatically. Because at the moment its telling me its blocked due to privicy settings and I have to click to download them in every email..

Thanks for any help guys.
[HD2 General] daleski75:
Hiya, that is annoying me too maybe it is a limitation of sense 2.5? and I am pretty certain the other bit about internet content being blocked such as pictures cannot be turned off.

I have tried this myself by downloading all the email +attachments but nothing so far works.

Anyone know a fix for these like the original poster commented on?
[HD2 General] Clivectmob:
Yeah, I'd like to know if there's a reg hack or similar for that, does my head in as well. It completely spoils an otherwise very good email app
[HD2 General] Archer:
This looks like a font issue to me. Maybe there's characters in the emails that aren't in the font that the email preview tab uses. I don't know, but that's what it looks like.

You can't make it automatically download images for security reasons. Embedded images can be the cause of much spam, and can also be used (in rare cases) for spreading malware.

Also, the email application that you see when you click an email in the Sense UI is actually part of Windows, not Sense.

I'll be very suprised if you ever find a way to make it automatically download images, and I wouldn't want my phone to become virus-ridden so would never use it if it did exist.
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
The squares you see in the email preview are the symbols for the "enter" key.

When you get an email from someone that has more lines and that person pressed enter or more enters at the end of a line those enters end up being squares in the email preview.

Unfortunately you cant do anything about it. I'm a software developer and i know about this issue from my work. It's HTC's job to eliminate the squares and it has to be done in the code. We can't do it by ourselves.

I would love to have the images downloaded automatically as well, but Microsoft didn't provided an option for this. At least let us chose whether we want to be secure or not.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's not that at all. It's any character that is not defined in the font that's used. If you like, I can take a screenshot of an email that is FULL of boxes, and I know for a fact that they're not all line breaks/page returns.

The enter key doesn't cause it, or you'd see it at the end of every line that has a line break/page return, and you don't. But anyway, this isn't resolving the issue, so I'll bow out ;)
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Yeah, i'm sure the font doesn't cover all the characters... well... its HTC's fault on this one.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Laying fault anywhere, whether correct or not, does not help these guys resolve the issues they've raised. Let's keep it on topic eh? ;)
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Well, i could suggest that someone with good knowledge of wm should look into the fonts being used in the emails. Maybe they can be changed. I'm sure new fonts can be installed but i don't know how to change them and where.

Its also possible that this issue is unsolvable because of the current coding of the email tab in sense. We need to know for sure what's causing the problem.

Havent been able to find anything related to the G1 for this and am wondering if some one has or has any work around ideas. This app was one of the working apks that we were able to use off the sprint hero dump from last month but now they have put out an upgrade file to download, once u download this upgrade from the prompt in the app it will install then telll u this is for sprint customers only:mad:

So u can uninstall then reinstall the original apk and still have the widget work but anytime u try to launch the Nfl mobile it will require the "updgrade".

Really stinks, was a great app to use, hoping some one has some skills to figure this one out! :cool:
[G1 Apps and Games] reg442:
i had the same problem before cause i had the sprint updater app installed but, without the updater installed it gave the the update speech again... it was good while it lasted...
[G1 Apps and Games] moosefist:
you might be able to edit the build.prop so that the phone recognizes as a sprint device.... I am not really too sure though.
[G1 Apps and Games] rp1783:
This should be moved to the applications forum....Also, the sprint apps, I believe are considered warez, and therefore you probably won't be able to find them on these forums.
[G1 Apps and Games] maxisma:
Try editing the build.prop and faking the carrier (getprop & setprop)

[G1 Apps and Games] Joe333x:
if its still working for you it wont for much longer. The new version doesnt work and the old version forces you to upgrade. The original apk needs to be edited to not force the update. I dont believe this belongs in the app section since it requires development to get this app working again
[G1 Apps and Games] jigdagod:
I did this, then went back tot he original apk and every weekend it works for me or when a game is on. At least getting all the scores of the game works that's all I really used it for anyways.
[G1 Apps and Games] fastludeh22:
Ya I used this app for awhile. I know that it was fully working on rogers roms, but the nfl network live stream and vids dissappered when using a hero rom (well sense hero by cc). I used the build.prop from eno rogers w/cc's sense hero and nfl network part started working again. Then I got the dreaded update. I assumed something can be edited in the build.prop, but haven't tried yet.

Might want to start by replacing ur current build.prop with the one from sprint hero dump, but be ready for fc's. Also going to have to have wifi as it is cdma and u won't have a radio signal, but its a good starting point...
[G1 Apps and Games] bbuchacher:
Anyone have any luck on this? ** BUMP **
[G1 Apps and Games] rockdevourer:
I figured this one out long ago: edit the build.prop. This worked for the videos and everything else before the update, but the update checks for something else outside of the build.prop now. I suppose it wouldn't be that difficult to disable the updating part; I'll try to take a look at it again this weekend (possibly tomorrow) but no promises on how quickly I'll solve the problem as I have exams next week.

I already have it dissected, so it'd just a matter of finding what either:

A) the new app is checking for to validate that you're a sprint customer

or

B) disabling the updating part in the older app (but this might not be part of the app, as it could easily be part of the webpage, making this option a lot less viable)
[G1 Apps and Games] estan_0223:
Too bad...

This NFL app was very good. I was disappointed when the upgrade came but figured something would be done eventually to take that away from us. There are some other great apps out there and I would imagine they will only get better. This Monday night I was in the car for four hours on a business trip and used SportsTap to keep tabs on my Patriots and it was a fairly good experience. Also, the NBA has started putting out some of its own apps that are pretty good, so I can't imagine it taking much longer to get an NFL app in the market that will be as good if not better on all Android devices.

Hey rockdevourer, got an update on this at all?
[G1 Apps and Games] jj71787:
id like to know too cause i dont have a login for superfan
[G1 Apps and Games] rockdevourer:
Sorry, didn't recheck this thread. But as of now, I DO have an update :D

So here's been my work from the past few weeks (al beit, not much lol):

I figured out several different possible methods to either disable the update check in the original APK and also a different method to disable the check for the sprint customer check. For some reason, the NFL_prod (newest version of it as far as I know) is looking for some Sprint file that doesn't exist on the G1 (obviously) and it seems that it uses a boolean to check it so that's a cake walk.

Here was my problem of not being able to do anything about it: I couldn't install either of the APKs due to not having the original key. But a few minutes ago, I found the stupid key. They left it in the APKs for my viewing pleasure apparently :P

Soooo, long story short, I pretty much figured it out. I haven't recompiled the APKs with the new keys yet because I probably have to redo all of my modifications on both of the APKs and test which ones work. Sorry about not updating, life has been hectic. Expect another update here soon (probably not tonight because I'm going to go watch the Colts game at a local restaurant)

Feel free to follow me on Twitter as well, that way it's easier to give updates and let you know when my work is completed.

http://www.twitter.com/rockdevourer

Edit: it appears the Sprint TV app thing has the key in it as well, but I haven't touched that one yet and dunno if I will. Maybe if there's a lot of people wanting it I suppose I could take a look at it. The security measures in these programs are God-awful.

Sweet success! Working out a few last bugs then it shall be ready :)

The only two bugs that I'm aware of at the moment include:

A) Widget doesn't work at the moment (this is definitely not a high priority on my list)

and

B) NFL Network doesn't show the video part yet, but audio is functional. The featured videos, etc, all work properly with the video and audio; it's just the NFL Network Live part isn't fully functional yet. This should be fairly easy to fix, as I have done this before.

Just wanted to post an update real quick :) Back to squashing B first and then A if it's not too time consuming. This project has been a real nightmare, but oh-so worth it!

Edit: Forgot to add, the NFL Network is fully functional on the Droid according to a tester, many thanks to aimbriano!

Nah this was some pretty heavy modifying of the NFL apk itself. If I find some time over the next week or two, I might look into the Sprint TV app as well, maybe a New Year's gift perhaps. Just depends on how different that one is, as well as how time consuming.
