Hi, ok so i've googled all over the web and i can't find a solution to my problem

Camera(photo) works perfectly, everything on the phone is amazing... cant record video.

i press the screen once, twice, 80 times and it doesnt start recording...

i went to a freaking Aerosmith concert here in Chile and i couldnt record it because of this freaking bug... i could only catch some pics with the camera

can anyone help me out?

thanks
[Desire General] Stafflover:
You say press the screen.... You know recording doesn't work the same as taking a picture? Press the optical sensor (it even says it when you go in to video mode...)
[Desire General] robguerra:
Oh god what a fail!... I had no clue you could physically click the srnsor..... Thanks a million...
[Desire General] Stafflover:
you're welcome
[Desire General] SteveEdson:
you didnt even try that??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
So I just installed cyanogen's new 2.1 rom which is running better then the 1.6 I had I follwed the wiki on how to upgrade but the Google apps. Still aren't installing the way I did it was

1 installed the defanged file followed by gapps file on the wiki then the actual. 2.1 is there something I'm missing
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Adamsville MITM:
I dont think u need the defanged base...

boot into recovery mode and wipe

flash this update-cm-5.0.7-DS-signed(2)

then this gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed

reboot
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Coljamkop:
Well, do you have 32a? for me when i use the 5.0.7 stuff i would lose my ram. I was wondering the same thing because i am stuck at 4.7.x with the defanged not really knowing how to get to 5.0.7
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Silrocco:
Installed 5.0.7.DS and now now SMS pictures

Hi, I installed the Cyanogen 5 stable ROM and now I'm not able to view picture or Images when I receive SMS. Is there a setting to this, because I've search everywhere and can find anything remotely to enable such setting if there is.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
First off sorry about posting in the wrong section

I have the 32b magic and for the people having my issue I had to use the defanged file because if I just used the 5.0.7 and the Google apps. File my phone would not pass the mytouch screen I waited for an hour and had no luck so this is what I did and worked like a charm

BTW I'm running this with the old radio and spl with no issues as of now

Did a nandroid backup

Wiped my phone back to factory setting

Installed the defanged file

Followed by cyanogen 5.0.7

And last the Google apps. File. Cyanogen provided

The first boot took about five minutes and is now working like a charm the only app I didn't get was the Amazon mp3 store and I can't find a site with the direct link to the apk. File to install through my phone since I don't have a computer right now
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
I'm not having any issues who is your provider?? Also what is happening are you getting the messsage just no pic or nothing at all??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Silrocco:
I have TMO and never had the problem with the stock ROM.

When selecting on a SMS with an Image included it displays a message: "The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction."
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yearziro:
First off I think you mean mms that's what picture and video messages are SMS are texts goto. Your settings then wireless / network. Then mobile network then apn it should have Tmobile checked goto the mmsc and make sure this is there http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

Then try again that should do it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Silrocco:
Yes, you are right, it's MMS. :D

Anyhow, I tried the URL you posted; it's broken. I'll try going to TMO support site.

Thanks for you time. :)
[General Questions and Answers] ncoig:
So yersterday I was fiddling with my newly acquired Tilt 2. In an effort to optimize, etc., the unit, I san SKTools and was deleting temporary files and tweaking the settings.

On a reboot, I suddenly starting getting a flurry of "Starting this program requires a component from an unknown publisher" messages from all applications I installed (excepting MS ones, and those already in ROM).

Any idea why this would have happened? It would seem that the data store where the PPC keeps the records of what I installed was lost or corrupted, but I have no idea how, nor in searching can I find where that information would be.

Anyone have a clue what might cause this behavior?

Thanks,

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dafecruz:
I'm trying to use metamorph and titanium backup but these apparently require busybox. I have been looking around everywhere on how to install it and what it is bit have had no luck.

Could someone point me to the correct forum on a tutorial or something that could help me out?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blaboy51:
open titanium backup then click problems at the bottom then click yes,do it
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeathCab4LU:
thanks so much for this tip...lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles12:
I just tried froyo and it was awesome! But i missed my trackball wakeup too much.

Did anyone else try froyo but revert back to CM until he releases a froyo version and how come?

Just curious and wanted some discussion :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgorman:
I did cause this is just a test release of froyo and is still a little buggy. I'm waiting for the cm version. To flash

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

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lance713:
Same. Messed with it a few hours and went back to CM5.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssmithri:
I am getting triple the battery life with froyo... sticking with it until CM6.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] temperbad:
For trackball wake download no lock.

I for one came from cyanogen and his roms awesome for a 2.1 rom. But its not 2.2. I love flash and can't get that from 2.1. Trackball wake was hive but can use no lock till cyanogen releases a froyo rom. The speed is alot faster imo on froyo 2.2 vs 2.1. Apps open faster and placing widgets on screen opens faster. The capacitive buttons are way more sensitive and the speakers seam louder. APPS TO SD stock is great on so is having memory although on custom ya get those. Just my opinion froyo brings a all alround better experience for me. Only thing I miss from cyanogen is the stock trackball wake ( no lock for now) and full 360 rotation in the browser. Other than that I'm golden. And the reception seems better with this radio ( although you can keep that and go back to 2.1)..

Everything is not for everyone

And I lime the pinch in gallery thing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timal:
Mine lasts longer with more use with Froyo. Will flash CM6 the second it is released !
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namuna:
Got Froyo as soon as the rooted version was out...Just dropped down to CM5.0.7.1 tonight.

- I seriously miss the trackball wake too

- A few games (Asphalt and Super KO Boxing 2) and apps (TuneWiki and MountUSB) are either flaky/unstable or flatout don't run

- Since having Froyo, I've had to reboot the phone at least 4 times due to touchscreen calibration going completely out of whack.

- Overall it's definitely fast, but there were definitely hiccups/lags here and there that weren't big deals on their own, but the accumulation of them got annoying.

I've tried JIT out before on eclair and Froyo (while definitely much more stable) feels like it's still got some of the JIT quirkiness.

I'll likely give it another go as soon the rooted official froyo is out...But I'm definitely chomping at the bit for CM6 action!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
got a question come to my mine, those having Froyo issue did them wipe all before install?

I find the Froyo is damn stable and no such mentioning issue.

Asphalt run perfectly.

Running perfectly smooth.

Trackball Wake? - just use lockbot pro and you have trackball wake and lockscreen customization.

Battery life guarantee better than any previous Eclair ROM, this include CM ROM as well.

No touch screen alignment issue.

No radio issue.

* Everything is perfect, the only I miss now is 7 home screen, hope CM can increase to 7 home screen by using the default launcher. I also miss the color changes of status bar clock and notification font. Another wish CM implement this function as in CM 5.0.7.1 in coming CM 6.0 ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crajoh:
I updated to Froyo and changed back to CM within a couple of days. The reason for it is right now I am travelling in Asia and using wired LAN connections to my laptop. Then using a program called connetifyme that uses the laptops wireless to share the wireless lan connection over an adhoc connection. Froyo would not connect to ad-hoc, but CM does.

Once home next week I'll put Froyo back on again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] safeplayer22:
Thank you so much. I didn't know such app existed!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightforce:
the bat life in froyo is garbage
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyndragon:
The battery life in froyo is an improvement.

Battery life opinions are useless unless you have at least some data to back it up.

For example, I used to get around 16-18 hours a day before I had to charge. Now, I can usually last almost 20 hours.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i would also miss the black notification bar from cyanogen as well. can froyo be updated with metamorph to use the desire notification bar? that's another thing i want to update to froyo and maybe switch between cm5.0.7 and froyo, but would like desire black bar in froyo as well.
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
I wasn't happy with my HD2, so I decided to polish the battery cover. I wrote a tutorial in case anyone is interested in doing the same to their device.

blog.whitesites.com/Chrome-HTC-HD2-Battery-Cover-Tutorial__634103488469591250_blog.htm
[HD2 General] br4nd0nh347:
Looks great and can double as a portrait mirror.
[HD2 General] addicus:
Wow. The only flaw is the deep scratches you pointed out.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
The result is really astonishing. It fascinates me indeed, and now it looks like the phone a Harley rider would proudly use. Not that I own a harley, that I wish I did :D

Wouldn't using one of these

make the job easier anyway? ;)

Now, if only I could bring myself to do it for real, that's a sure warranty void for you.

BTW, how much did the cover become thinner after you polished it? Does it lose much thickness or is it less resistant in any way?
[HD2 General] Shum97:
Thats just amazing, a total new look..
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
omg awsome! the paint is already away on my cover.. already posted this some months ago, when there were big dots where the painting was away.. it looked very ugly, so i thought i should scratch everything away xD did it, and it looks better now.. now i see this^.^ i think im going to do this, it looks amazing
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Ouch, Scotch Brite? I'd recommend using 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 grain sandpaper. I use them for lapping my CPU's and heatsinks. It looks flawless if you do it properly. :)
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
got one important question.. does it maybe rust after some time? im using my phone very much in the rain.. and maybe an important coating is away after the sanding? :3
[HD2 General] operative1:
since the back cover is made out of alu, it shouldn't rust. i cleaned the coating / paint off of mine too.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
hmm, so lets just do it xD ty^.^
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
It does look good, but somehow also out of place with the rest of the phone.
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
The Metal Polish Creme leaves a thin layer of Silicon on the metal when you are done, which does an excellent job of protecting the surface from break down.
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
The only thickness you loose is really the painted layer, Not sure if it would void my warranty as I didn't really have to take the phone apart to do this. To the manufacturer its no different than some scratches on the screen, so I think the warranty would still be in tact. Also if you do yours be very careful using a dremel tool, its pretty easy to ruin a phone with a dremel. I learned this the hard way about 4 phones ago.
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
I agree with you. If you wanted to do it right you have to use many grades of sand paper. I was using just what I had laying around the house.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
regarding the warranty, I plainly asked htc support for their opinion about this.

The idea of having a mirror battery cover tingles my fantasy ;)
[HD2 General] fastwanabe:
never crossed my mind... must look good. I simply covered mine with suede and haven't looked back.
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
awsome, than u =D will do it as soon i have the sand paper, the creme and some time xD
[HD2 General] jan-willem3:
You can also buy an new orginal cover so why the warranty would be broken:S

On ebay you can get one for $14 you can also buy one of the to try.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
that's the problem, 14usd for a piece of metal is too expensive imo, or I would've bought one already to drill couple holes for a lanyard in there :D
[HD2 General] an123:
awesome idea!

the paint is peeling off on my battery cover (only in one place), and i was thinking about getting it plated or something....your idea is much better, tho a bit difficult to do by oneself :)
[HD2 General] donwhann:
looks good, might have to try it one day......
[HD2 General] snuphy:
don't do it!

This just seems like a horrible idea. I just picture your phone on the ground with a cracked screen and a lanyard attached to a battery cover hanging from your wrist... and some random guy running off with your battery. :p
[HD2 General] ladieslova:
Wow this is amazing! It takes a lot of work to remove the paint tho'...

But the whole new look is awesome.
[HD2 General] croakthedj:
I own a harley and I wouldnt own it. I like it. but just cause you got chrome doesnt mean your cool. but in this case maybe so. I am doing it for my gf. she is always taking those facebook/myspace style pics.
[HD2 General] untrueparadox:
you know you coulda made your life a lot easier and just use aircraft paint remover? a can of the aerosol kind is $5 at walmart and the gel kind is a bout $10 for a quart at autozone. no need to buff it or anything.
[HD2 General] mcv50:
WhiteSites, your HD2 looks AWESOME! Too bad mine is ablout to be sold on eBay. I opted for the N1. Maybe someday I will polish up the N1??? :D

Thanks.
[HD2 General] kameleongt:
you would still need to buff it sand and polish the alum. luckily I work at a piant shop and didn't spend 30 min on mine and I had 2 layers of automotive paint on mine ontop of the regular stuff htc coats it with. the aircraft stripper worked like a charm then work a few grits I had laying around with a 3inch air polisher and went upto 1500g. came out decent I noticed I missed a few spots so i'll be redoing it but I have another back cover for those not feeling the bling look days. here is a quik pic I took as you can see the scratches as I rushed it and didn't finish the polishing. .
[HD2 General] ephestione:
lol@the random guy running off with the battery :p

No really, that is feasible, attaching it to the side you open it from is obviously dangerous, but find enough space for a lanyard on the opposite side and the battery cover is not going to get removed, there are two deeper bumps there that grapple very tight on the internal chassis.

Right now, I'm using the "adesive tape lanyard hack" and it works charms even if it's not charming :D

BTW @OP, grats for being featured on the portal ;)
[HD2 General] Shum97:
Looks really good, am thinking i might just give it a go:)
[HD2 General] xtralongleave:
*droooool*

okay is it just me, or does that back piece look freakin' awesome??!!!

want to try my hand at this, but majorly fear having it look not as good... anyone out there really good at this and want to sell one?? :) haha PM me!!
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
Yours looks awesome. I wish I had access to a 3 inch air polisher when I did mine. I dream of the day when HTC starts taking the same kind of pride into their phones as watch manufacturers do. Building them of full metal casings. I have thought about taking the phone apart and attemping to polish the plastic parts to a high glossy black finish, but I am not sure if under the rubbery skin if the plastic is hard enough to take a good polish. I have tried to polish soft plastics before and the result isn't pretty
[HD2 General] hsmcd:
wow wow wow this is simply just awesome~
[HD2 General] troed:
Awesome ! Congrats ! How much time did it take You ?

Can´t do it myself since I use the ext.batt. which has a plastic cover
[HD2 General] body85:
First. Real cool idea!!!

But @ all plz dont use the 300er... for the color use 1000 and than for the finish 2500er :-) So u need spend a lot of time... but the result are amazing!!!! THX Dude!
[HD2 General] drew2000:
When I get my HD2 I will defintely try this mod! Thanks for the tutorial....
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
Not convinced!! I have done this to my phone, problem is is that it scratches so easily, it now looks a mess, also aluminum tarnishes in air quite quickly. My advice would be to leave alone.
[HD2 General] Finalforce1111:
Hi all

First of all thx for the wunderfull idea !!!

I did it and it is great!!!

But i did it with 800 permanently so for the colour and the finish also.

It dont reflects, i dont know why so if anyone of you can give me a hint how to make it reflective it would be great
[HD2 General] stillbeer:
Super

Tried it out ! yes !

What do you think ?
[HD2 General] stillbeer:
I did it with 200 then 400 grain,then used liquid polish (for your kitchen sink you know),then used BRASSO (copper /silver pollish).

It turned out like a mirror
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
800 grain is too harsh, you need finish with at least 1000 for a nice mirror finish.
[HD2 General] malex1:
Once you have mirror like finish on cover, you could spray a clear metal lacquer (from car shops) to protect it from scratching or discolouring.
[HD2 General] Finalforce1111:
So i can still get it reflective?

If so i will buy tomorrow the 1000 or even the 2500 if i find some in the market and the right metal polish oil
[HD2 General] body85:
for REAL Mirror look u need FIRST 1000 and than 2500 and than metal polish :-) looks so great!!!!!!!!!!!!! its amazing!!!! Polish....polish....polish....polish...Polish....polish....polish....polish...Polish....polish....polish....polish...Polish....polish....polish....polish...Polish....polish....polish....polish...Polish....polish....polish....polish... :D
[HD2 General] ephestione:
I was somewhat afraid to pop the question. It's not steel afterall... how about tarnishing effect, I know it's a fresh "trend" in the community and it's not passed by enough time to have solid feedback from everyone, yet even if I already payed and ordered a spare metal cover exactly for this purpose (still thinking 12EUR is too much though....), I fear I'll need to polish the cover every once in a while to keep it reflective, as I always had to do with my silver pendant once.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I wouldn't bother starting with 1000 grain, you'd need so much sandpaper it'd be daft. I've lapped 3-4 CPU's before to an absolute mirror shine and I've always started with 600-800 to do the grunt of the work.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
Official stance of HTC regarding cosmetic changes

I wrote HTC about info with painting jobs on the phone and whatnot, and here is the (not-so-surprising) reply:

So well, be sure to get yourself a spare original metal cover if you alter yours and would like to still take advantage of warranty servicing in the next 2 or so years :p
[HD2 General] Raudi1:
I think they just mean that they won't "repair" your battery cover for free. The warranty of the phone itself should be intact.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
no space for "thinking", this will break the warranty (stop) is pretty clear ;)

Anyway, a spare original cover is 15USD shipped from china... expensive IMO yet effective!
[HD2 General] Raudi1:
Can't you just send it in without a battery cover? Some years ago I had to send in a phone for repair and I think they wanted it without the removable parts(battery, cover, etc.) because they don't need it anyway and it could be lost or swapped easily.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
you should have their opinion on this.. obviously we both know that taking off the cover and doing all the nasty stuff you want to it, as long as it is separated from the phone, is not going to hurt the device functionality by the least measure... yet I'd like to play safe and their reply left no space to interpretation really :(

My message just wanted to be a friendly warning to chromers wannabe :D (me among them, as soon as the spare arrives from china)
[HD2 General] OneGoodKnock:
I wonder who the first person will be that dares to make the whole phone turn chrome, through a little bit of spray painting etc?
[HD2 General] jj125:
i work in a retail phone store in Australia and when sending phones for repairs you are not required to send the back cover or even the battery unless the fault is with these items so my advice would be just to not send either if you need to get you phone serviced if they complain too much just say you lost it or something to that effect

i wonder if there was anywhere you could get it anodized a red or blue would look nice
[HD2 General] ephestione:
probably offtopic, yet if you actually went to the extent of saying you lost it they could in theory complain that the phone being used without a battery cover has been the reason for its malfunction, hence being your fault for losing the cover, warranty is off :p I know I had to send back all "main" components whenever I had to send back my old ipaq for warranty (three times, no kidding), so a word of advice would still be to provide having a spare if you want to alter your main cover :)
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
great work there!

I wont be doing it to mine, but still, great job on yours!
[HD2 General] MrDerrickC:
Excellent work!
[HD2 General] DrATty:
Have a go yourself. I make telescope mirrors in a similar way and it's really not that difficult. The important thing is to be patient. You must remove all blemishes before moving on to the next stage. As mentioned above, you won't remove a scratch left with a rough paper with a fine paper. It can be quite therapeutic.
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
You need to get the polishing creme, it makes all the difference. You can buy it at most auto parts stores
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
1000 grit should get the job done.

1200 grit would be recommended after the 1000 grit.

Then use the polishing creme to finish it up
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
Tarnishing is not a problem. The Blue Coral Polishing creme will leave a thin layer of silicon on the surface that helps protect it. I also polished my Xperia X1i, about 9 months ago, and never had any problems with tarnishing. The only negative is finger prints, but the wipe off easily.
[HD2 General] WhiteSites:
I doubt anyone will try that. Its one thing to polish metal that will preserve its shine, but painted chrome tends to easily chip and wear off. Our only hope is for an all metal body phone.
[HD2 General] GamerMYJ:
Hey guys! I loved the look of your HD2 whitesides, and decided to try it myself. I was wondering, where exactly did you pick up the blue coral polish? I only found things such as turtle wax, blue MAGIC, and brasso.

I actually grabed the brasso to try it, along with 200 and 600 grit sandpaper (all LOWES had at the time), and went to work. Sucsessfully got off the paint with 200 (220 to be exact, probably doesnt matter) and then started hitting it with the 600. It looks NOTHING like what you guys have. I threw on the brasso (smells TERRIBLE, still cant get it off my hands, any help with that? :D), and it didnt help much. Is the Blue Coral the magic ingredient, or just more elbow grease and a higher grit? Thanks much guys :D

EDIT: Ill post a pic later, just realized I dont need the back cover to take a pic xD
