You might have your camera resolution on lowest settings. Try a higher setting and let us know. The default resolution is 640x480.
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
Checked the resolution of the camera and the pictures themselved and they're both 5MP, so I really don't know what the problem is now. It is rather frustrating though, when I zoom I want to see the details of the image not a fuzzy picture. Another thing I've just had happen to me is trying to copy over a 4.5GB MKV file at 720p I got the message "The file 'Up' is too large for the destination file system" I don't get that cause I have 6GB free on the phone and 6GB free on the 16GB micro SD. My phone hates me :'(
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
the 4.5gb MKV isn't a Samsung issue. It's a filesystem issue, relating to the default filesystem used on the sd card memory. FAT32 has a file size limit of 4gb.

It might seem a bit frustrating that you will have to re-encode that huge MKV, but considering that you can count on the fingers of one hand the smartphones that would even be able to smoothly play the video in that container in the first place, it's a small price to pay.
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
I know the phone could play it, it chews through my 720p copies of Top Gear without so much as a hiccup, and they're nearly the same bit-rate. I think you're right about counting the phones that could do that though because my HD2 didn't have a chance. I didn't know fat32 had a file size limit though, that's very useful information and thank you very much for that. Any ideas on the gallery app problem?
[Vibrant General] aiwapro:
I had/have a HD2, and now a Vibrant that I am using.

I know what you are talking about with the pictures looking pixelated on the Vibrant when you zoom in, but look fine on the HD2. I too, would like a solution to this. Maybe another app does this.
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
I know exactly what you're talking about and it really is quite annoying. As if losing the flash wasn't bad enough, now even my old photos look bad on it. I've figured out firstly that the stock android gallery app has a 16 bit limit but that's not the issue I'd imagine. What I believe to be the culprit is that, as far as I can tell, what the image viewer does is it actually automatically downsizes all your photos which would explain the pictures' butchered quality. Of course it's just a theory but it seems to check out. Unfortunately I have yet to find a decent replacement app or a solution thus far. And not to dash your hopes but I hear the problem also exists in froyo. Kinda disheartening for such an awesome multimedia phone.
[Vibrant General] dq13:
+1.. I also know what you mean, I had the HD2 and zooming in on the pictures on this phone sucks!. I am sure there is an image viewer somewhere that would work well
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
Yes! Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. I was beginning to think I was alone! I am by no means a developer, but I think it's probably the scaling algorithim, though it would be interesting to check it out on another phone running 2.1. Next time I activate a Captivate at work I'll check that as well, it'd be really weird if that one worked correctly!!
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
I've figured something out. When you look at photos in the actual camera app, and zoom in that viewer, the pictures look fine, it's only in the actual gallery app where the zoom doesn't work properly...
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I definetly do not have the issue with zooming in on pictures (camera or gallery) and I have yet to have a FC on any app. You mentioned the browser, any other apps FC'ing on you?

Have you done anything (other than root if you have)?

Are you using a TK?

Can you give more details?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I know what you mean by zooming the pics. Try image viewer, its awesome and zooms in great
[Vibrant General] Homestar1217:
Well it's only the browser that's done it, and it's only happened once to me, so I'm really not worried about that one. A power cycle took care of it right then and there. As for the zooming, like I said in the camera app itself it works fine, but in the gallery app it's not too good. I'm not rooted (yet), and I have no task killer because I've heard more bad things than good things about those. Idk how else to describe the problem, it just seems like when I zoom in it's like the file is a very low resolution and gets very pixelated and when I check the properties I know it's a 5MP picture, so idk what's going on.
[Vibrant General] pepperbreath:
Something I never noticed so I just tested and you're right!

It's the way the built in gallery app works. It creates a thumbnail of all images and that's what it displays. You can even see the thumbnail images if you explore the phone memory. The only way around it is to download and use a different image viewer.
[Vibrant General] tundra84:
I suggest large image viewer! It is a bit spartan in terms of features and ui but it has the best image viewing of all the apps I tried! Btw the default image viewer basically makes a lower res bitmap of all your pictures and it's impossible (I think) to actually view the original images from within the gallery app. Why it would do this? I have no clue, seems like poor programming to me. Perhaps it's the cost we pay for the nifty though relatively pointless 3d effects.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vo1:
what if i convert internal sd from fat32 to ext? or it is impossible to do so?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
First off I've tried searching for a similar topic and couldn't find anything.

So here's my issue. I updated my SGS which I bought from a local O2 store here. Checked that is was indeed unlocked and went ahead to follow the instructions that can be seen here in the forums.

After installation, the language was set to an Eastern European locale, which conveniently was easy to change back to English.

I could not connect to any network, so did all the app installations via WiFi. It wasn't until early this morning when going to work that I noticed that I didn't have any DATA going through.

Checking on the settings, I now have the option to connect to CDMA networks, instead of the option to disable 3G (Only connect to 2G networks).

What do I do to get that option back?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
You need to manually install your phone network details or AP (Access Point) details.

Firstly check you have any details entered.

Settings > Wireles and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names

If you don't have any details in here then you need to find the information and put them manually in.

Other then this you can check your Network Mode the next entry below Access Point Names and select the mode you wish.

Mine is GSM/WCDMA auto.

Wish you luck with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
That's the thing, there are APN's on there and all. It's just that the setting for 3G had now changed to CDMA. Is there a way to just flash the specific CSC and not affect the PDA & PHONE?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
PDA must always be flashed. THe other two you can add if required.

WCDMA is the same thing just make the selection you want. No need to flash a different CSC. I'm using JM1 at present and it's WCDMA as it's from Europe but it doesn't effect the phones capability. It's just a name.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Thanks for the reply. So what you're saying is, even if it is saying WCDMA, it WILL connect to HSDPA? Flashing my phone now back to JM5. All other FW's I've tried just show WCDMA instead of 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Eventually settled for JFF and 2G option is back. Now I have the problem of the APN's working. Off to weed through these forums again. :D

Different question, same problem unresolved. So my original problem is that I seem to have lost all data connectivity (apart from WiFi) after the very first FLASH. OH well. Thanks for your assistance Ancient_One.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
WCDMA is not CDMA. It might be confusing a bit, but it's actually two different things. WCDMA is basically just another name for 3G.

(Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, but for the sake of simplicity, let's just leave it at that.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Yes, WCDMA is 3G. It's not CDMA as used by Verizon and Sprint in the US (they just share some of the radio-level technology).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Thanks for clarifying the bits regarding WCDMA. My how things have changed. Anyway, I'm going back to JM5 and am hoping to get internet up and running. It is so annoying to not have everything working as they should, even after the APN's been added and all.

Much appreciated guys.

Any calls I make with the August 7 build of Froyo by darkstone, the call quality sounds like a high pitched robot. Is this a known issue with the HTC HD2?
[General Questions and Answers] ricardo1284:
i have the same problem. i have a T-mobile HD2, i try froyosense, darkstone froyo, desire rom, and i continue the problem,
[General Questions and Answers] agentfazexx:
Use Miri's WinMo ROM, or the Energyrom. I got it working just fine. I just have this unrecoverable black screen issue, no one seems to want to reply to that thread.

But anyway, mod can close this.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Good Morning Guys and Girls,

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the same issue as me and how they got on.

I have had my phone exactly 3 weeks today I was using my phone and it was absolutly fine (no scratches/dents etc) put it face up on a table went had a showever when I came back there is a very large split in the screen perfectly straight (which would indicate manufacturing problem) going from top left corner half way down the phone to the right side.

I have spoken to HTC and they say its a chargeable fix as the warranty doesn't cover accidental damage but its not accidental damage! I have just phoned up my provider who said it would have to be sent back for them to determine whether it was accidental or not before sending out a new one but then they realised I actually got it through the carphone warehouse (as T-mobile direct were out of stock) and have now said I will have to take it to them as its their phone even though my contract was taken out with T-mobile direct.

This is a pain!
[Desire General] contrary:
can you upload a photo?
[Desire General] Beowulf_pt:
Sure you had no impact before that? Or excessive pressure like in a pocket. Maybe it cracked later.

If not I don't know, maybe some faulty panel indeed that had a weak area that cracked due to thermal stress or something. In the lab it is probably easy to determine if it was cracked from the inside or due to external impact or torsion.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
I have had a couple of light bumpbs but no damage/scratches after them and it was sitting all night on charge in my front room got up this morning picked it up used it for a minute (still fine) walked away came back 15 minutes later to find a crack. Noone had touched it.

Normally when I break a screen its a tiny crack and not normally in a perfect straight line. This one is 2.6" long

Pretty upset with this as its only 3 weeks old. I have had HD / HD2 / TD / TYTN etc and really abused them and I only end up with minor chips and scratches after about 10 months. Where as this one I have really tried to look after it
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Also to add I never put my phone in my back pocket wher eI can sit on it.

It never shares a pockets with coins / keys or anything else that can damage it

And I will try and get a photo of it somehow - only cam I have at the moment is on the phone so don't think I can use that :-P
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Heres a picture, you can see where the light is reflecting is roughly the start point of the crack and it goes out both ways. I just don't see how a crack like this can form on its own sitting face up on a table.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
That really sucks man. :(

I am going to get a hard cover for my phone. Don't want a cracked screen.

Having a look at your picture though - there doesn't seem to be a pressure point of impact etc. So what you're saying looks to be correct.

Hope you get it sorted.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
I know thats what is frustrating me. Everyone telling me its accidental damage and I know I am not lieing, I have broken screens in the past and seen many more and I know how accidental damage looks you normally have a point of inpact as you say, its normally small or if it is big normally has multiple fractors no just one long steady line.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Yes, exactly.

However - you're going to have a hard time proving this to any retailer. As they normally have a very strict policy on warranty claims. :(
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
I'll get my way :-P I have a nack of getting things I want from shops and businesses :-P

I am hoping like the guy said at T-mobile as its only 3 weeks they might just do a handset swap rather than fixing it.

Anyone by any chance know how much it is to get a screen replaced?
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Done some research for you - you're looking at 70 + pounds to replace it.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Thanks. Hmmmm thats quite a bit that I don't really have. Just hope I can get them to accept it as warranty. Might have to visit all stores in Sussex until one agrees to repair it lol.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Well it is even more, if you didn't actually cause the crack on the screen!

Hoping my Desire doesn't suffer the same fate as yours!
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Good luck. My advice is do not put it on a table and walk away! :)

Ill post here how I get on.
[Desire General] andycted:
I will be sure to keep a constant look on it, while I leave it on the table. Will test later if the same situation arises when leaving it on a chair.

Jokes aside: mine fell twice already. Once it was after a week I had it, it landed from about 1 meter high, 50cm far away after it slipped from my hand when picking it up from ... a table ! (I see a pattern, the desire doesn't like tables). Landed and rolled on my polished floor and I still can't see no visual damage. From that day on, I grip it so firmly, that it almost behaves like an iphone4

Second time it was from about 30cm and obviously no damage.

I had it for about 2-3 months and -knock wood- screen is ok.

It does look as a factory defect.
[Desire General] mancuk29:
Is ur handset not insured either mobile phone insurance or as it happened in your house - your house insurance
[Desire General] RaptorRVL:
Well, don't know how the law is over there with you. But here in the Netherlands (and I thought it was EU, but not sure). Within a certain period of time the seller of the device is the one that should prove it wasn't used properly etc.

So.. they can say whatever they want about it being accidental damage. But at least here in this country, it's not up to you to prove otherwise. THEY have to prove you mistreated the device.

Your screen cracks without mistreating the device, sounds like a proper warranty claim to me! :)

It could be there has always been some tension on the screen, and when it got hot or cold it finally cracked. Who knows. I'd say let them prove you mistreated the device.
[Desire General] genisis1032:
i work for carphone warehouse mate i wouldnt no what to do really say some thing elswe is wrong with it like crashing or some thing. depends on how noticeable try putting a cheap screen protector on it and see if it cant been seen then take it back LOL gimme a message if you want any more info =]
[Desire General] al89nut:
Don't CPW give you 3 months insurance for free as a come on?
[Desire General] aindow:
That's nasty. I dropped mine from 30cm onto a wooden floor and the battery cover flew off and it sticks up in one corner now so had to bend it back to shape!

Good luck getting it sorted out.
[Desire General] bubblesmoney:
how to change the htc desire broken screen yourself

guess the nexus 1 and the desire share the same screen. read on some nexus1 posts elsewhere that it costs 250$ for screen replacement for the nexus1.

you 'might' find this link useful if it wont be covered under warranty and is otherwise too expensive to repair. http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-tear-down

see other posts by the same person who posted the step by step guide http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-how-to/how-to-remove-the-touch-screen/

hope this helps if not covered by warranty. best of luck.

ps: there is a video available online for dis assembling the samsung galalxy s completly to the smallest parts and reassembling it too, incase anyone is interested then google for that video. i dont remember the link but saw that video a month or two ago.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Thanks for the replies. Heres my luck so far:

T-Mobile: Orginally told me to send back and they would investigate if it was 'accidental' or not and if not send a replacement device - then realised it was from the CPW and won't touch it.

HTC: I have pay to get the fixed - Going to be calling them later with the angry customer part going and try again

CPW: They will send it off but most likley will charge for the repair

Home Insurance: My last resort as I have to pay quite a bit initially (still cheaper then paying for the repair)

Do it myself: Don't think so - not good with small parts will end up chucking it against a wall and breaking it more :-)
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
To keep you informed I have written a letter of complaint to HTC that I am posting this morning. Encase anyone would like to read it:

HTC Europe Co., Ltd

7th Floor, Thames Central

Hatfield Road

Slough

SL1 1QE

Date: 13/08/2010

Re: Complaint, Support No: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Sir/Madam

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I have recently purchased your HTC Desire which I have now had just over 3 weeks. On exactly the third week down to the day I picked up my phone used it for a couple of minutes and it was perfectly fine. I then put it down face up on a table and plugged it into charge and walked away, On my return in approx 15 minutes I returned to a large crack just over 2” in length starting at the top left corner going across the phone to half way down the screen on the right side.

This crack has not been caused by ‘Accidental Damage’ and the phone was left alone with no one touching it/moving it/anything knocking it and was not in direct sunlight or in front of a heat source. The crack resembles a manufacturing flaw as it is a perfectly straight crack with no impact point/jaggered lines or multiple fractures.

I have been in contact with HTC Customer Services and my mobile provider and both say that I have to pay for the repair as that is not covered under Warranty. I absolutely do not agree with that as this is not ‘Accidental Damage’ and is a manufacturing fault and therefore should be covered under warranty for either a repair or swap-out. As a consumer I am entitled to either a repair of swap-out of the faulty device within the first year from purchase that is caused by a malfunction of the device or a manufacturing fault that may show up within the first year.

I have been a loyal customer of HTC for years starting with the HTC TyTn and even bringing the company I work for over to HTC as well as friends/family. I feel very un-satisfied with the level of service I am getting this time around and if I do not receive a satisfactory response shortly (I.E: Replacement Phone/ Repaired Phone) then I certainly will not be recommending HTC handsets in the future. Given my position in the IT industry my view is trusted by quite a few people.

I look forward to your response.

Regards,
[Desire General] divvet:
just thought id add, a work collegue had the exact same issue, screen split in exact same place, and he swore he hadnt dropped it, it just happened when he left his phone on charge.

however he gave in and paid HTC £60 to fix it.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Hi, Thanks for that reply. Don't suppose you could put my in contact with him. And if this has happened to anyone else or you know anyone this has happened to not just for my sake but anyone this happens to in the future because the is obv. a problem with selected handsets and its not on that they are making us pay when we haven't done anything to cause it.

Once I have this resolved with a satifactory answer (repaird/replaced for free) then I will be more than willing to help anyone else it happens to, to argue with HTC for a free repair/replacement providing that the user is being 100% honest and truthful that its not accidental damage and it just happened on its own.
[Desire General] divvet:
ill have to ask him if he minds me giving you his details, unfortunatly i no longer work at the same location as him, but i will try and get in touch and ill let you know when he replies. sorry but i dont like giving peoples details without previous consent.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Thats ok I completly understand and think thats good. I would do the same and wouldn't like my details been given out without my consent :-) - Although they do! lol
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Well had an e-mail back from HTC as I sent the complaint via post and by email and they told me they need me to send the phone back to them so they can establish whether it is Accidental Damage or not.
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Well here's hoping they just replace the screen for you. ;)
[Desire General] charon72:
If they dont replace and u can do it urself this might be a bit cheaper

http://shop.brando.com/htc-desire-replacement-lcd-display_p4600c308d59.html

81$

and they ship cheap :)
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
We have already established that I can't do it myself :-) Parts are too small and fiddly for me :-P

If they don't do it I will get it done on my contents insurance :-) Cheaper then buying the part myself.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Well they have had my desire for 3 working days now. They told me they would contact me once they have established whether it would be covered by warranty or not but only if it wasn't. I think three days is enough time to determine that and as I haven't heard back from them I can only hope that its currently being repaired under warranty.

Fingers crossed.
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
I have just realised HTC have an online repair tracking system so I thought I would give it a look and either they haven't done anything or the system is useless because all it tells me is:

Status: We have received your phone

Type: Repair

Description: Description of the problem.
[Desire General] :
yeah....you do realise they're ridiculously busy at the moment cos of a backlog of repairs stuck waiting for screens? they're running at 14-15 days at the moment! you'll probably get a quotation email in about a week!
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Bloody HTC and Samsung!!!!

The guy told me that they were on schedule for repairs within 5 days before I sent it off!
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Right well Its now been exactly 7 days so I decided to look at the ticket online today and it has changed! It now says:

Ticket Information

Status:	We have completed our diagnostic tests and have a quotation ready for your review. {REVIEW QUOTATION}

Service Type:	Repair

Issue Description:	1 clean thin crack from top left in a diagonal to the other side of the screen about half way down the phone. Most likely oow but please check thoroughly. thank you

Damn so they are not classing it as under warranty I guess. I clicked the 'Review Quotation' button and it takes me to a page that juat says this:

There are no active quotations for this ticket. If you have any questions please contact the customer support.

hmmmmm.
