[EVO 4G General] The_Real_D/\SH:
thanks brudda, and the battery life for me is better than it was on the avalaunch rom (no disrespect to his rom cause it was great as well) and better than the 2.1 roms for me as well. under heavy texting and emails getting sent in from my site as well as youtube and prolly 400-500 texts a day i can get 18-20 hours. under light use no problem get more than that.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lordraiderke:
Hello,

Is there a tweak or possibilty or tool to let the camera app record video without the camera app visible onscreen. The app must be visible onscreen or it stops recording :/

Let's say you want to do other things on your phone and record video in the meantime. Now every time I leave the camera application (without closing it) and let's say phone someone then the camera stops recording :(.

Thx in advance.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] apexcz:
iteresting thing.. i dont found any else app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Sorry i cant help..

I do have another question I've been meaning to ask tho...

Has any one else noticed this..

When you have camera app open ready to take a picture, if you press the black between buttons on the right hand side it makes a Grey dotted box flash around the picture, noticed it helps with the picture taking time, almost like a "hold button half way to prime a digital camera"

Am I tripping or am I right??

Just not heard of any one else ever mentioning this...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] flr:
Can't help either

I think you mean the frame showing what is actually being captured on your picture (instead of the whole 'wide' view you have before taking the picture).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Sorry you've confused me..

When I open the camera app, it opens full screen with 3 icons,

Flash, shutter(take picture) and settings..

I presume every one else is the same (exept possibly cooked roms)..

When you press settings tab and all the settings are around the screen pop up..

Press the gap between the shutter button and the settings button(a dotted box will show clearly around the middle flashing for a couple of seconds)

Now take a picture, measure the time it takes from you pressing and the picture capture..

Now do the same as you normally would.. Press the shutter..

Just seems way faster with the flashy box going than without.

Can you tell me why? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] reijkelhof:
friendly bump.

I am wondering what it does as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] flr:
I'm sorry, it took me some time to figure it out.

I think this is described in the manual on page 240.

Particulary at the footnote:

'Note If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.'

Is this what you mean?

I'm at a loss, as I remember reading it but can't find it any where to verify. When Sprint releases 2.2 Aug 3rd, since I'm rooted I should NOT accept OTA or force it to update...or ever do it, right?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3project:
you dont until someone here roots it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankenstein\:
And go ahead and get off unrevoked now. Do a full root and use a rooted rom even if its a stock rom. You will be happier in the end. There are several methods posted in the Dev forum. Just pick one that matches the sweet version your currently running or follow the instructions posted previously in this forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Actually, I don't recommend full root if you can get by without it. Full root permanently screws up your PRI, even after unrooting. Until its fixed, people should only do it if they absolutely need it. You can use an ota update, but you will lose root until someone finds a way to root 2.2. Also, you can flash one of the stock 2.2 roms that are rooted. They should work with unrevoked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
It doesn't screw up your PRI, it just makes it a lower version. :rolleyes: For some people this causes lower speeds on 3G; others are fine. But yes, once you do NAND unlock your PRI is stuck like that until someone figures out a way to update it.

I think flashing a 2.2 ROM with unrevoked and expecting it to stay rooted is a risky thing to do. I wouldn't recommend it personally. That is, unless someone has tried it and it works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudoash:
Hello,

I don't know if this is the right section to post this in, but I have a few questions regarding the debranding/rooting phase.

I currently have a branded T-Mobile HTC Desire (1.21.110.4). My main objective is to get to the point where I have an 1.21.405.2 HTC Desire without root. I'm not interested in having a rooted phone, but it seems that in order to fully debrand my phone to received updates directly from HTC and not through T-Mobile, I need to root the phone, apply a ROM and then unroot?

Can someone please confirm if this is what I need?

Many thanks,

Ashley
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
To get OTA updates via HTC you would need to root, have a goldcard, flash an unbranded HTC ROM and then search for updates. They'll arrive if available.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] numeria:
So I was just wondering if there are any fixes to the camera on Android to make then 5MP. I know that the XTarantulla build has a 5MP Camera but I can't say the same for darkstones or dan's. Or at least I didn't get it. Also, I was wondering if there was a fix to make it 8MP like how we could go into the registry and edit it so that it was superfine and stuff. Just wondering. Didn't see anything about it here on the forums so I thought i'd bring it up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cavemaneca:
First off, they are working on it.

if you can successfully find and pull the camera drivers from the XT build and put it in another congrats.

as for the 8MP, that's just silly. the camera only is a 5MP, it can't be set to take pictures better than the hardware is capable of :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iandy1:
Maybe not up to true 8MP, but improvements can be done in software.

My old HTC Wizard's camera sensor is 1.3MP, with a scaled res. option for a pseudo 2MP mode.

Yes, it is not true 2MP, but an extra option over the standard 1.3MP.

This was done 4 years ago, why not now with our HD2?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LondonTownGuy:
The 8mp superfine hack in wm rom development has already improved picture quality, as side by side comparisons have shown, it's not true 8mp but the difference was noticable. The camera is capable of slightly more than its spec.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iandy1:
As I said, not true resolution, but an option available on a device 4 years old.

Something like that can be done for the HD2 also as an option, being aware

of some quality loss.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kerman19:
I thought all that did was reduce the compression, and the HD2 had huge issues with the camera in WinMo underperforming to start with, any of the improvements used in WinMo brought it to a standard your getting in Android already.

From looking at photo's I've taken previously in WinMo (With those teaks) and Android, Android comes out the overall winner, those tweaks for WinMo simply give you what HTC should have given us out of the box in the first place.

Android does not seem to suffer at all in the camera department, at least not for me anyway.

During a Rom swap I wiped everything including battery stats. Now my battery won't hold charge and its been reverse charging a lot lately meaning while its on the charger it still drains. I'm thinking it has something to do with me wiping the battery stats but I'm not sure. If anyone has ideas or solutions it would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
When wiping battery stats, from what I understand, you should only do it after charging fully and let it completely drain until you out it on the charger again. Try turning it off and letting it charge until green led then wipe stats again and don't charge it until it turns itself off.

So I bought a car usb charger that claimed it was rated at 1 amp. Using both my blackberry and HTC oem usb cables it will only show up as a USB charger (500ma).

This is not exactly enough to charge the phone while using 3g, gps, full screen brightness, etc. I'm looking for a good confirmed 1 amp hardwire (not using a usb cable) car charger and home charger. I used my sisters Samsung charger (rated at 700ma) and it charged it quicker than with the OEM htc charger.

And I would like to try and get ones that are confirmed to show up as fully charging the phone. I would appreciate some insight :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] investinwaffles:
And now that I think about it,

I would like to be able to use my Amazon prime for a change, so amazon links would be nice :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] nhutpham:
I went through a few different car chargers, so I can help you out here. I bought the Belkin car charger recommended here in another thread, low profile and rated at 1A, but my phone only recognized it as USB and charging was fairly slow, extended road trips using video recording and navigation while plugged in would drain my battery over time.

I used my friend's palm pre home charger and it worked very well, so I went on to Amazon and bought the "palm vehicle charger". The one I got in the mail (from Park Deals) was DOA, wouldn't turn on at all (I emailed Park Deals and they sent me a new replacement free of charge, didn't even have me ship back the defective one). I called the local radio shacks and found one in stock at $9.99 (radio shack isn't carrying palm anymore, so the accessories are on closeout but hard to find in stock). Works like a charm, the phone recognizes as AC charging, the phone still charges while running navi or recording video.

My friend got a cheapo car kit on ebay, came with rubberized case, mount that fits the evo with the same case on, and a cheap unlabeled car charger with a bungie type cord. I tried this on my phone, my evo recognizes it as AC also, so I assume it would charge well if it's rated at 1A. I've seen several other cheapo car chargers rated at 1A as well.

Another thread here on XDA says that if you modify your charger/cable by altering the middle data pins you can get the phone to believe the usb port is plugged into the wall and draw full current from the charger. I tried covering the two middle pins with a piece of paper and plugging it in, but this didn't work for me. The other methods involved shorting the two data pins together, I didn't really want to waste a cable or mess up a charger and potentially my phone so I just bought a different charger. Another thread mentioned buying a specific rocketfish usb cable had a similar effect.
[EVO 4G Accessories] welrope:
That was me on both accounts. Love my rocket fish cable. Bought the 12v/usb converter for the car and whether or not i use the pc or car to charge, it shows as ac charger on the phone. I use this cable on all my pc's as well as the usb outlet in my vehicle.
[EVO 4G Accessories] linhpham2:

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

I just ordered a Rocketfish cable. We'll see how that works.

Would be nice if they made a Y-cable to get 1amp from 2 USB ports in a PC. I mean, I know they MAKE cables like this but I read somewhere that HTC phones were designed to still only charge at 500mAh even with one of those.

Dunno.
[EVO 4G Accessories] linhpham2:
It depends on what you're using as a charging source. When usb charging on my home pc or car, it's AC charging at 1 amp.. But if I'm charging with my Energizer external battery, it's only USB charging at 0.5 amp. This is using the same usb cable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] robroy90:
iGo

Would anyone happen to know what an iGo tip (A97) delivers? I am trying to rig up a custom solution that is hard-wired, but uses iGo tips so I don't have to use the cigarette lighter plug and I have the flexibility at the corner of my windshield to swap tips for different devices.

Right now, I have a 4-port USB hub installed under the dash that is 12v powered. I then use a proprietary iGo cable that uses a standard PC style USB connector on one end and then terminates into an iGo tip connector at the other end. That USB cable runs up to the corner of the windshield so I can swap tips at will.

If I use the iGo A97 tip on their cigarette lighter adapter, it seems to charge, but I am not sure at what rate. If I try to use the A97 tip on the USB hub, it charges for about 2 seconds, and then the light goes out. The Evo does not seem to like the custom arrangement, yet all my other micro usb devices do not seem to have any issues and charge just fine...

Thanks,
