R.I.P., Left Shift key.

As a rule, indoor pictures with the Evo are just poor quality. Outside, they're crystal clear, but even with the flash, when you're inside the camera is adjusting the exposure to the ambient light, which means grainy, blurry pics. There are some tweaks you can do to minimize this (white balance, exposure defaults, etc.) but in general it's just not that great.

Same with video: If you're inside, the camcorder drops down to, like, 8-10fps capture. Outside it does much better. It's all about the ambient lighting.
[EVO 4G General] skittlesV1:
the lighting looks bad, and plus you gotta click in the pic to focus it and then hold down the shutter button untill you see your pic, thats the only way i can take pics
[EVO 4G General] awakener777:
Look closely and see if your lens cover is cracked.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Why would that matter?

Check out this article, it is a good demonstration of how the lens (or in this case, lens cover) really has a very minimal effect - if any - on image quality.

You're being sarcastic, right? Surely a troll would get 41 posts without being found out.

Are you using the netarchy kernel? I have had similar issues with photos using flash with fresh and the netarchy kernel. Switching back to stock fixed it for me.
[EVO 4G General] Classick206:
So I'm a troll because I can identify a better phone when I see one?:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
If you were a good troll, you would be doing this on the iPhone site about an EVO. You might just make a few iP4 users' heads explode.

wow ip4 a better phone really go back to your hole in the wall oh wait no ur still stuck behind the walled garden
[EVO 4G General] Raadius:
A better phone? No. Takes better pics and video, yes. Taking better pics / video doesn't make you a better phone. Making calls with reception makes a better pho... oh wait ;)
[EVO 4G General] awakener777:
Because mine is cracked and it true focusing on the crack, rather than the subject.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
i cant beleive, or i missed, no one pointing this out.

you are friggin shaking in the picture dude.

no picture will look good when there is movement.

but i side with you, my camera compared to my wifes camera is garbage.

my wifes takes consistantly better video and stills than mine does.

mine will show the camera focusing and all it does is focus near then far, then stops, it never stops on the right focus point, you can see where it focuses right on past it.

if there was a hack to allow a slider for focus that would be kick ass.

after some time and practice it would be easy to use the slider for focus.

but my shots such ass, big time.

if i Zoom in it will focus much better than if it isnt.

so i am not sure where the focus point is compared to where you place your finger but it isnt where you place your finger thats for sure.
[EVO 4G General] ehunyadi:
It sounds like a problem my phone seemed to have in the beginning; it would focus and then stop auto focus a little blurry. I don't know what fixed it, but after I had the phone a few weeks, the issue seemed to go away. Now I can take pretty clear and amazingly focused photos.

As for the iPhone troll, I ignored him as I was on a website viewing some flash content on my phone just after I got done with a video conference on 3G . I then made a phone call and held the phone with both hands without dropping the call. :p
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Just wondering why you would post on the Evo forum only to say that the iPhone is better, especially when it's really subjective to say that. You must admit, that is rather troll-ish.
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
You do know that the camera tech is almost identical? Only thing that is changing the "quality" of the pictures/video is software + compression.

Another typical oblivious iPhone user...

So I found this pack of padded cable ties in my desk and thought I could bend them into a paperclip-style stand like the one I use at work.

It didn't work, but I discovered that, with some minor adjustments, they can still be made into effective little stands.

I bought them at Fry's Electronics for $5.99 for a pack of six. They are the 7" Urashima Taro Wire Flexi Ties II.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinert012:
I am running WW 4.6 right now and i did a titanium back up to try out one of the new Froyo ROMs. I didnt like it so i tried to nandroid restore back to WW and that wouldnt even work.

So i reflashed WW and tried to reinstall my apps and it says "not enough memory" or something along those lines every time i try to reinstall an app.

So i partitioned my SD card and it STILL wont download anything..any ideas?

Edit: After some research this seems to be a Titanium back up issue and a simple uninstall/reinstall of the apps works. I have no apps installed on my phone and i cannot install anything...thats not good.

Also i have the adb shell open on the command prompt with all the listed app on my phone by doing

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/app

ls

...and there is nothing there that is installed, just all of the .apks that come with the ROM.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinert012:
Installed a new ROM and working now, very strange.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhooka:
WW requires you to partition your SD card for app2sd, that is why it's telling you that you do not have enough space. Get ROM Manager from the market and it will do this for you, then just flash WW back onto your phone.

http://androidforums.com/all-things...-manager-will-now-partition-your-sd-card.html

EDIT: I forgot to add that after you install WW you need to go into (Settings, Applications) and enable App2SD before you can install anything.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericFuels999:
If you do a "chmod -R 777 /data/app" (without quotes) through ADB shell, that should enable you to install apps from the market onto internal memory.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tokyoglow:
I've been having quite a big problem recently. Something has been sucking internal memory like crazy. I've flashed several ROMs and still have the same problem of the low memory alert.

I flashed another ROM today and had 144MB of internal memory at noon. Now, without downloading any apps or doing anything major, I now have 133MBs for internal storage. I've currently been using a2sd because iGo is a total space hog and its better than the native gps app imho (doesnt seem to lose GPS signal every few minutes)

The other issue I'm having is the GPS. Its pretty much crucial to me right now because I've been going from Thousand Oaks to LA and everywhere in between and have only found two ROMs that I dont have GPS problems with. Those: EE4.0 and Aloysius

However, both of those have been giving me the low memory warning constantly and I cannot recover space no matter what I delete. I tried deleting iGo (a huge app) and it only accounted for a few MB (the full app is over 20)

I'm quite confused and have never had this problem before.

I've searched the web and it seems theres no solution available at the moment and Froyo takes care of it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Well, about the internal memory storage, it could be your cache. Try downloading an app called CacheMate; I'm not sure about the free version, but the paid version has a 'Power Clear' option that clears ALL the cache on your phone. It usually clears about 8-14MB of cache everyday.

Also, 11MB really isn't really a big deal at all, as it will function just as well with 133MB as it will with 144MB.

hello guys im new here . yesteday i finally bought my desire in canada from telus and i was in rush so i didnt bother looking the phone at store. so when i went home. the sealed was open and there was finger prints on it and i wanted to unlock it to rogers. and i went to 5 different unlocking place they couldnt do it and last guy told me that it might be a refurbished phone thats y it cant be unlock. and i call the place i bought from they said if there is any problem with it will switch it for u. im gonna fight to get a new desire i waited long for this day to come and it all went wrong for me :( i dont even know what to do. cuz at first i dont think cellphone places are aloud to sell some phone that is used by other people. cuz i dont know what they did with it and i dont feel comfortable with it. any1 any suggestion what to do?

Take it back, they are obligated by law to sell you a brand new unit unless they stated the goods were second hand.
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
In the UK we have a contract cooling off period and we could return it even if there was no fault and for no reason. then we could simply buy from somewhere else. Surely there is something similar there or have you bought the phone out right.
[Desire General] the_ahmadzais:
No. I signed a 3 year term.
[Desire General] ekolb123:
You have 2 weeks (10 business days) to return for any reason. If this was purchased in Canada and the contract was longer than 3(??) months you can get a refund without any questions. I worked at a gym when i was younger and if you purchased a 1 year membership you could cancel it within 2 weeks due to a federal law.
[Desire General] alexhaj:
So what happened? You return it?
[Desire General] dave7802:
Alot of UK Phone Company's have a get out clause

In the Small Print on the Contract you sign, they have, if the Seal or the Sim Card has been broken and placed in the Phone you are obliged the contract and there for no longer have your 15 day cooling off period

I had this issue with one phone, and i spent months fighting,

I was able to cancle the contract in the end but that was because i made so many complains about my account and soo many changes where made on my account,

that there was a problem with my billing and the issue was not resolved within 14 days (In there small print)

And was there for in my right to cancel my contract and no pay and cancellation fees or remaining days on the contract

But Yes, It would seem that when that Simcard Seal is Broken or the Card is Activated, your stuck into that contract
[Desire General] kewvention:
hey i got my desire from telus as well on the day it launched. it was brand new so not an issue. i also got it unlocked from but not from those small booths in the mall, i got it from cellunlock. theres a 50% coupon too, if you need it. at first i was skeptical cause i didnt get the code right away but they updated their db, and now its all good, and im running it unlocked.

weird part was that the phone asked me to put in the unlock code more than once, for 2 different things. it worked using the same code.

also i have it rooted and using the leedroid rom 1.8b for now
[Desire General] GTACanuck:
Its quite possible that when they recieved it, some eager salesman (like myself) wanted to take a look at it and turned it on. I do that with all the new devices if I have not had a sneak peek at one by time launch day comes.

If you want, PM me and I will look up the date of first activation to confirm your unit in fact is new. Other than that, you can go into the store you purchased it at, say it keeps freezing, random reboots and that the battery life sucks and get them to exhange it under TELUS' 30 day DOA exchange program. But make sure its set up the way when you purchased it. You shouldnt get any hassles.

Hope it works out for ya!

I live and die by smartlists and the ratings through itunes. That is the one thing keeping you from using android. After attempts with almost every program including doubletwist, I have found a solution.

iSyncr along with its paid ratings widget has finally worked for me. The developer helped me figure out the problem at first that it has to be set for the internal sd card (not the external sd card I added). That with the mixZing app and all is well. I even use the two program's widgets on one scree for an almost ipod interface. I can finally start editing my music on the fly. While the ratings need to update to itunes to affect the playlists, so no on the fly playlist editing, but I can finally weed out the songs that suck.

Anyways, thats my rant for all the iphone defectors that miss that part of their old phones.
