question, if you can now do 720p at around 20fps, then can we do 800x480 but at a higher fps? maybe 60 or so? the higher frame rate (IMO) would be better than a higher res with a low framerate
[Desire General] dexteral:
i would be happy if it did 30fps in indoor lighting at least. 720p will be a bonus
[Desire General] dragonithe:
i think that the desire can make some nice pictures, IF, the back cover is removed.

Because in the back there is a second "lens" that makes the pictures a bit blurry.

"these pictures are made whit the stock rom"
[Desire General] Quist:
I think my original point is kind of getting lost in the discussion. I have been very pleased with the photos on both the stock ROM and most of the cooked roms I've used UNTIL I installed the new radio (which just coincidentally enabled 720p video).

I'm not talking about video recording, but rather just the stills.

I'm not even trying to compare the pictures with a real camera or even another smart phone camera, I'm talking about the quality of stills before the new radio and after. After, white balance has been abysmal and the auto setting is almost always unusable, but even e.g. daylight setting is off keel.

The samples provided above in the second or third post can't really illustrate these issues because the subject is violet meaning the overly cold tones now present simply match the flowers and if any pink tinge is present you'd not be able to see it either. If however you snapped a pic of a person with a light tan or soil that is a warm beige colour, before the radio update these stills would look great, but after the person would likely look pink or pale and the soil would almost be gray-violet.
[Desire General] liamstears:
I have a theory.

I have just taken some pics with flash and noticed I no longer have the green tint on dj Droid!!

What have I changed since I use to have green tints? I odexed it using the zip in the dj Droid thread.

Could this of fixed it? Testers.....
[Desire General] Quist:
Somebody posted earlier that they had it when it was deodexed but not otherwise (ie the opposite), so it's possible but random.

Do you have the old A2SD mod on top of the deodexed mod?
[Desire General] liamstears:
:(

no I just use standard froyo a2sd as I dont use many apps still have over 85mb free lol
[Desire General] Quist:
Ok, and you applied beidl's zip that odexes the system apps? Might try that again (I had it before, but went with the old A2SD solution when other issues had cropped up).
[Desire General] liamstears:
Yup that's what I did :-D
[Desire General] Quist:
Following up on this, I moved over to Paul's kitchen results from the R4 WIP (pre-refresh) and the quality of the stills returned to what it was before, so the good news is that it's not entirely due to the radio.

Only problem now is that I've read of some people getting renewed problems by installing some individual mods so I'm afraid of adding some of the things I would like to have like the round percentage battery indicator.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] thebigbanana:
Well today I figured I should try and hack my phone. As the topic title suggests, I have the MyTouch3G Fender/1.2 phone, the one with the 3.5mm jack on top.

I followed the cyanogen wiki mod for the phone.

Everything was going accordingly until I had to use the hboot command in dos, and saw that it wouldnt work. After a quick google search, I came across a topic on this forum.

In one of the posts, a user uploaded the exact file I needed for the phone.

After completely hacking the phone, I decided to take the next step at the bottom of the FAQ, and update to CYANOGENMOD 5.0.8.

I followed the guide at the end of wiki, stressing the importance of an update of Cyanogen.

After using AMON_RA, the update went flawlessly, and I also decided to use the google app pack included. I boot up my phone, and no problem... yet

I see that I don't have any connection to my provider, TMobile, and I also notice that background apps are consistently being forced to close, mainly the calendar and what I'm guessing is the os itself.

I've tried over and over by reinstalling the update, wiping everything, and still, nothing works. What is wrong?

Please help... I've exhausted what I think is every opportunity and decided to seek help here... Thank you.

If the app seems fishy don't download it you can allways get lookout from the market it will pull your phone up on the gps and tell you exactly where it is I've tested you can also make it chirp real loud as for them accessing your phone put the pattern lock on in stead most thiefs are not hackers so they probably won't be able to access your phone even if you hard reset you still have to draw the pattern I mean unless they full root the phone and wipe it in petty sure you will be ok hope that helped
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
Lookout kinda falls into the same category at Good or Wave. (at least to me thus far). All appear to be fine and yet somehow free products. I'm looking for a corporate solution, not end user solution. a free solution would be swell, so long as trust can be established.

i am looking at this from a corporate IT security perspective. not a young person, a enthusiast nor regular end user. heck, if I could get all of my users to actually know what is meant by "if the app seems fishy don't use it", most of my job would be completed. but to be honest, i'm still trying to get a grasp on that myself in the android world, hence the question about access levels in last paragraph of original post.

the zigzag is nifty and should protect from casual access. Froyo will provide an interface that a secured Exchange server would prefer to have. that will help.

( BTW ... if anyone knows how to make the red line not appear when you mess up the pattern lock...you'd be my personal hero for the day)

its not thieves that I'm worried about...it's my own end users that have to be protected from themselves. if a device was left in a bar or cab and did end up in the wrong hands....data could be sold, deals could be lost, people could be embarrassed, with the type of data that 'can very easily' exist on these devices...network security itself can be compromised. and sadly, i must assume that a good many end users will disable security if they are able to. for the same reason they ***** at automatic screenlocks on their desktop/laptop computers.

would you rather your IT team "hope/pray/expect the device will be picked up by some incompetent/benign/lawabiding citizen" or the opposite?

i choose to prepare for the worst...hope for the best. not the other way around. hence, my questions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berkmanmd:
Isn't remote wipe being built into froyo somehow? Thought I read that somewhere.

I have my exchange email set up on my device and it requires me to use a passcode. I cannot disable it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krizno:
As for wiping data remotely wave secure will do that it might be close to what you need or something for the time being hopefully this will help

[Touch2 Themes and Apps] DannyBiker:
I just downloaded the browser which is a HUGE improvement compared to the previous Opera built-in version.

The thing is that I'd like it to make the default browser; understand the browser that would launch in the TouchFlo menu. The installation did proposed to make Opera 10 the default browser but it didn't work.

How could I achieve that ? In addition, I'd like to remove the old version of Opera, if possible...

Thank you ! :p
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] LtBlue:
Does it support the Zoom-bar ? if does , then share the link ;]]
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] DannyBiker:
No it doesn't indeed. That's two fixes now...:D

I tried pretty much everything that was proposed in a "Make Opera 10 the default browser" found here, but nothing worked...:confused:

did you try M2DC:cool:

Registry settings to change default internet browser

Hi,

Here is the values to change default internet browser

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget

Type-Value name-Value

String (Default) (value not set)

DWORD IncludeUserFavorite 0x0

String RunCmd \Program files\opera mobile 10\opera10-armv41.exe

DWORD WebBrowserType 0x1

You can use any registry editor.
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] spandeli:
ok, i pefer the Opera mini 5 i have found it that its faster than the default one or the Opera 10.

Now when i try to do the reg edit, i reach the point where you said

\

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetW idget

now, after this i did not understand clearly whats the next steps..

can you be more specific please? :o
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] radurus:
it is a table (rows/columns). first line is table head
[Touch2 Themes and Apps] Exsoul:
I downloaded M2DC from here (xda) and in the "Internet" tab searched for the .exe of the Opera 10.

It would be nice to see a new project underway in trying to port MeeGo to android as the JavaScript speed seems to be faster than froyo, and has a nice UI.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
Is it possible to completely disable the red 'you failed' trail that is displayed when you fail at your zigzag pattern? i know my pattern...why in the name of god would i want to display the failed pattern? what is the possible purpose other than to allow others to visualize the baseline idea of your pattern that you deftly just mussed up? why not light up the 4 digits on your ATM keyboard so you can see just which digits you hit vs the ones you intended to hit?

There must be a way to disable the pattern lock visible line. with exception to the period of time allocated to setting and verifying of the pattern to be used...i would think it should never been seen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JordanClay2003:
There should be an option to "turn visible lines off"....It should be in the same menu as adding the pattern...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slag02:
This only disables the green line while trying to unlock instead of the red fail line
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
Correct. I do not want failed attempts to be displayed on the device in a red line... nor do I wish to see the green line.. i have already made the green line go away.. now to hide there red one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Install the latest CM rom tons of stuff in the pattern lock settings on that rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaliciousOne:
You might want to include the fact that a lot of stuff isn't working with CM.

such as no 4g.......

WiFi not working for everyone.

no HDMI

Why anyone would give up all that, to change the pattern lock settings, is beyond me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Well if you don't live in a 4G area or don't use HDMI then why not. Personally I'm waiting for a stable version since I use my phone for my business so I cant be using a experimental version for everyday use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
LOL.

I too would like the fail trail to go away. I often miss the last one (because it's just a little bit out of reach) and it basically gives it all away, anyone watching and seeing the red line obviously knows which one I didn't hit. :rolleyes:

I could obviously change my pattern so my thumb doesn't have to reach, considering it's also compromised as of late...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
I am watching the CM6 development with great interest but am not willing to roll to a pre-Alpah release (according the first post of that thread). yes, i know it is working very well, but do prefer to wait for the RC1 to be available.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big_O:
Confirm this will work to root FRF91.

1) Load AmanRA Recovery onto SD card recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img

2) Run fastboot and load "Recovery" option.

3) Reboot and inside fastboot run AmanRA, flash update-nexusone-FRF91-root-signed.zip

Is this correct? Trying to avoid any issues.
[EVO 4G General] jmhaddad:
I have an HW 003 Novatech EVO built on May 19th.

Like many others I want to return my phone for a new one because of the light leakage and screen separation issues.

However, after reading a few posts and confirming my thesis, there is no point in returning your phone now as the replacement will more than likely have the same defects.

I spoke to a Sprint representative today and she recommended doing this: wait until HTC announces they have shipped newer HW models such as 004, or just a new batch with fixed screens.

Again, save yourself the trouble of unrooting, returning, rooting, etc...

Update: HTC has said they have partnered with several different vendors including Sony to make the screens for the new batch of EVOS. You can read an article about the EVO shortages on Buzzbox. I am not allowed to post the link here..
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
Hmm, I guess perhaps I should not plan on getting another Evo within the next few weeks. I'm reading a lot of bad stories about the Samsung Galaxy, I don't like the look of the Droid X and this iPhone 4 I just got has a small screen that just doesn't do it for me like the Evo's large screen. But I def do not want to get another Evo and have screen issues again. Oh what to do, what to do......
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
The replacement I received has no screen separation or like leakage issues. Maybe it takes awhile? my other one had it right off the bat.
[EVO 4G General] AshMa:
My launch day Evo had leakage from day one but the screen wasn't rising until about week later. Now When I last cleaned the screen I could feel movement that I hadn't felt in the beginning. The big deal for me is that I don't want to use an Evo for many months and then the glue problem starts and then the device has the chance of becoming something I can't sell on ebay and would probably not want to give away to friends or family with a faulty screen. It would be nice if HTC could just open up and talk about it and explain how they've fixed the problem and how we have nothing to worry about down the road anymore then we would with another touchscreen phone.
[EVO 4G General] jmhaddad:
Indeed this would be nice. However, HTC is notorious for not responding to the real issues even though they are aware of them.

As we know, not every EVO has these issues; furthermore, not every EVO has these issues right out of the box. My EVO had no problems until about a 2 weeks after use.

I would recommend playing it safe and just waiting for a newer batch from HTC and then exchange your phone.

We will all probably end up better off :cool:
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
These threads really are not helping my O.C.D. :(

Hope you guys get everything squared away with your phones. Sucks to hear that the problems can occur even a few weeks down the road :mad:
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
Thats why i'm glad I have an accidental damage warranty. My screen has no separation issues but if it ever does I have a feeling I might accidentally drop this one. ;)
[EVO 4G General] jmhaddad:
I as well am paying for the warranty, 7$ a month. There is still a 100$ deductible on the new phone. :mad:
[EVO 4G General] krizno:
I've heard screen separation a lot with the novs
[EVO 4G General] dehelflix:
I ordered online (sprint.com) launch day, and got a 002 with screen separation, called 2 weeks ago when sprint.com had some in stock, they made me verify the problem at a local sprint authorized reseller (nearest corporate store is 3hrs away) and by the time i got it verified and called Order Support back they were sold out, they sent me the return kit (i have to return it by August 1) yet its been almost 2 weeks since then and they havent had any in stock to ship me a replacement. Its a little ridiculous as i need to get the replacement through sprint.com, and they are never in stock. I'm terrified of just getting another broken one and having to go through this fiasco again.
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
If you have screen separation issues, try gently heating the edges of the screen with a hairdryer while pressing down.
[EVO 4G General] chaoticallysweet:
Strange :confused:, I spoke with a sprint rep on Thursday, 7/8, for a exchange, received my return kit today and received email confirmation that the replacement was shipped as of Saturday 7/11. You may want to contact Jerry. 3 day turn around for replacement.

By the way, my return kit states: return original package, manuals, battery, sdhc card, and phone..... I have all of these, but come on original package and manual.
[EVO 4G General] Psosmith82:
Phone 1 Bad Earpiece speaker

Phone 2 None functioning headphone jack

Phone 3 Screen kept shutting off, but still could recieve calls so it was not a lockup, bad screen maybe?

Phone 4. Ok so far except for light leakage at the bottom. Every one of my replacements had light leakage though, so i wouldnt be returning your phone at this point if light leakage is your only problem. Remember these phones have a 1 year warranty, so if the screen seperates you will get a new phone (refurb)

I dont think HTC as addressed the screen issue, its still very hit and miss with people getting phones that are perfect, and the ones who are, sounds like some are having the issues after a couple weeks use. My newest phone was built on 6-21, and when i got my newest replacement, my brother joined my plan with an evo and both phones had light leakage. My buddy works at sprint, and every employee there that has an evo has light leakage.

Getting a refurb too may be even better, because if they replace the screen, maybe the new screen will be installed properly with a new type of glue, but who knows.

My Sprint repair store replaced the screen... HTC is sending screens to key repair centers. I ended up fighting til I got a new phone though.
[EVO 4G General] dehelflix:
called them back today, had to escalate call 3x, got a order number should get new phone in 3-5 days, thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
I picked my EVO on launch day, it was a 002 with a nova screen. Exchanged it 29 daya later due to the light leak / screen separation problem. I got a 003 with an Epson screen and no problems in the last week and a half that I've had it.

Return was done at the Sprint store I purchased it from.

[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
My Google I/O EVO has always had it. I am going to try the hair dryer trick, and if that doesn't work I will just wait for a new hardware revision.

-------------
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
It's easy as heck to fix, most all phones suffer from this it's just more noticeable on the EVO due to the lights but when you hear reports of dust under the screen etc on other phones its usually from the same thing. The adhesive doesn't have time to properly set during the initial huge runs of these phones so some of them will dry with the screen not secured as flat as possible. All you have to do is use a heat gun (blow dryer will work just takes longer) run it around the edges that are lifted long enough for the adhesive to melt then push the screen down flat and hold it long enough for the adhesive to set and you have a perfectly flat screen with no seperation.

It's a pretty common thing, I do this with every new phone I purchase and even with some laptops to make sure the screens are sealed properly to avoid problems down the road even if I don't see any problems initially. Better safe than sorry!
[EVO 4G General] afliction523:
Hey guys I have had zero issues with mine. It’s a 003 Novatec screen....it’s too bad some of you have had so much trouble. I’m just curious since many of you have actually exchanged your phones. Can you just call and do an over the phone exchange?...When I had t-mobile this is what I always did. Sometimes for really stupid issues, but was always nice to get a scratch less replacement. They ship you a new one and you just ship it back? I also have the TEP plan but I would rather not pay 100 bucks if I do run into an issue since I think these should be warranty claims.
[EVO 4G General] APK-1:

How did you guys get an exchange? Purchased at sprint? Which department arranged the exchange. Help!
[EVO 4G General] ipractice:
I have a google i/o version of the phone. Is there any way that I can go about exchanging my phone? The light leakage is growing..

I'm willing to wait until the new revisions come out or some type of fix but for now I want to know if I can exchange my phone or not.

Also, even if a new version comes out what are the chances we will get one? Won't HTC just send us a refurb of an older generation, probably something under a HW004?

Not sure if this is android or the email app problem. the sgs does not allow me to respond to meeting invites. I have to save to calendar manually. Anyone knows?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] slu125:
I have the same problem. Could not find a way to send an invite for an appointment, either. The email client needs some polishing ;-)

Here is my wishlist :-)

1. Notification about incoming mails even if they are sorted into a subfolder (Server-side rules with my Exchange Server)

2. Improvement in how the folders are displayed. I've got subfolders of subfolders. All that is not presented very well. Maybe have separated views for folders and emails.

3. The invites issue solved as mentioned above.

4. I would like to have unread messages to be better distinguished from already read mails.

Maybe froyo is bringing all that to us :-)

Have a good night!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nightswim:
Hu guys,

i do have the same issue here. No possibility to accept meeting request.

Works fine on HTC Desire ;(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tom10der:
I guess this is a general problem with the build in email client of the sgs. I read in other forums that will be solved by froyo.

In the meantime i am using Touchdown Exchange Client. This client looks great the push mail function works properly - the only issue is the low performance.

Hey guys I am not sure if this will help you but I too had the same problem I downloaded the app from the market called ICS-Bot and it reads the attachment coming in. I am not sure what email account you are using but what I did was have any emails going to my corporate or/pop3 account from my work and I set a rule up that will forward any email with the subject titled Meeting in it and have it forwarded to my gmail account and once it arrives it will be read as an .ics file where you can preview it and set it up on your calendar. The downside is that you cannot edit or send a response back but you can inout the event onto your calendar and set reminders, I know it is not what we want but at least you have the event in your calendar, hope this helps.
