I need to change my phone to full stock format and i can't without this image...

also if you are using a windows computer you can just save the image to your computer and then follow the instructions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=654042 for converting the image to a RGB565 image.

Anyone else noticed some kind of lens reflection problem at night photos?

Hope it's not design fault.

There's no scratches at lens and phone is only two weeks old!

Sample pictures attached:

Edit: yes lens flare is norma, but is it really normal that effect is so strong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ConceptVBS:
Take that same exact picture with a real digital camera and compare it before posting up another "issue" thread.

Seriously, people are picking straws now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
That's a known optical phenomenon which is called "FLARE". edit the title, this might get people anxious.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
Lens flares is a problem optics struggle with. Even 1500 dollar lenses fail in this. But with special coating and sofisticated technology it can be less flares.

The only real solutions to prevent flares are:

a) dont point the lens to a direct light source (like the sun)

b) use a lense hood (on a phone?? hehe)

But you can in fact use your hand to shadow the lense to prevent this.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
My take on this:

Since night mode compensates with high ISO, it will get those lights more. :) Try covering the bright part.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Case_:
This is absolutely normal for cheap camera with a very small lens and plastic cover.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
high iso wont likely give you more flares, just more noice. Unfortunatly with almost all but real slr´s the software tries to hide this noice with cheap and lousy smooth-filters, creating a soft and cartoonish look
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
So I am on 2.2 RC1 and I pushed the sprint core apk to my system/app folder. I was able to get it to work and setup my personal message. In the settings --> call settings I changed it from Google voice to my carrier. I also changed the number to my personal cell phone number. But for some reason when leaving a message it still goes to GV. I even uninstalled Google voice from my phone and left a message same thing. I restarted my phone several times and even clear data from settings, same thing. I also reinstalled the rom in its entirety and still no go. All messages go to GV I always used GV as my voicemail preference but want to give sprint vvm a try. My question to everyone is...

What am I doing wrong? :eek:

oops put this under themes not questions, sorry.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] muppetman462:
Did you have your voice mail set up to go to google voice before (ie *28xxx-xxx-xxxx)? If so, dial *38 on your phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Ezintn:
login to google account and remove cell # from voice account. fyi,vvm works well by flashing vvm.zip...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Tibedabeeto:
Ok, calling *38 worked but my question is what did that do? It just made a noise and hung up on me. If I ever switch back to GV do I have to do the same thing? Thanks for your help I would have never figured it out.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] JTNiggle:
Changing the voicemail settings in your phone back from google voice to my carrier only changes how your phone is setup. Dialing the *38 reroutes the actual voicemail back to your normal sprint mail box. When you dialed that long ass number to setup google voice the first time, *38 just undoes that.

I had the same problem when I went back to VVM last week.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] vita10gy:
I just installed Google Voice. I'd not called my own phone to go to voice mail before, so I don't know if this is AOSP or google voice, but when I call it rings forever, then it actually calls my phone again, then many rings later it goes to google voice.

All totaled a person has to wait like 18 rings to get to my voicemail. Did I set something up wrong? Is it just not working? Is there a setting somewhere to "retry" before going to voicemail?

Edit: Nevermind, I finally found the golden set of search terms that lead to an answer. In case anyone else needs help: Apparently the way it works is that no answer on your phone forwards to Google Voice. The default settings are basically "forward to my other phones" (Presumably if you miss a call on your cell it could ring your work phone, or whatever.) however it doesn't exclude the originating phone, essentially forwarding to itself. In the advanced settings of the phone there's a "Go straight to voicemail" option.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
put the phone down and log into google voice on your computer.. you can enable and disable from there.. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] orlando111:
thank you for telling me about the google voice settings on my computer, I tried installing the apk, reinstalling the rom, reinstalling the zip,*38, etc.,. Nothing worked until I went to my google voice page and went to the settings menu and uninstalled it thank you, you've saved me alot of grief.

[General Questions and Answers] nexusonemeover:
While this issue is rather well covered on the internet, I havent seen anything new about it for a while, so I will re-ask a common question doctors have about being able to use an Android device for work purposes.

I can't have my calendar sync through the cloud (HIPAA laws regarding patient privacy). Is there a way to sync the calendar only of either Droid Incredible, Droid 2, or Droid X to iCal via USB connection only? Cable syncing is permitted, but cloud syncing opens a can of worms thats not worth messing with.

I know that HTC Sync will allow this with Droid Incredible on a Windows machine, but that wont work for a Mac with iCal. I am unaware of Motorola software like HTC Sync even for the Windows side of things.... but I just thought I'd ask.

This will make the difference between another Android device being purchased or not.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
Hey everyone. I'm posting here because I have a friend with a Captivate and I'm trying to get him to root his phone.

I sent him the link to the 1 click root but I don't know what rom to have him flash. I have an EVO and in the EVO forums we have a sticky with all the custom roms listed so it's easy to see what's there. Is there anything like that for you guys?

He's basically looking for a stable 2.2 rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bowsa2511:
The Captivate DEV scene isn't too large right now, (most of them are in the Vibrant section) We have few custom roms, but the ones you can find, along with mods can be found in the Development section of Captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbs11:
This is very true. Most went to vibrant because they were ex-G1 users. However the good news is the most of the coding will be the same so they are relatively easy to port. I have a feeling the captivate will not be getting as much dev action, and most people are switching from windows mobile or iPhone and have no android dev experience. But it will eventually speed up
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesasone:
Don't have him flash a custom ROM just to flash a custom ROM. Right now there are a limited number of ROMs, and he can read up on them in the dev to see if there is anything changes in the newer firmwares that would make it worth his time to flash. AFAIK, there are no fully functional, stable 2.2 ROMs (although the leaked build for the i9000/international version does mostly work, I think). There are also a few leaked updates to the 2.1 firmware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViViDboarder:
Yea, that's why I am asking if there are any stable 2.2 roms yet. But as I gather there aren't. I'll just tell him to keep his eyes open here.

I read in another thread someone suggest that the .08 radio is the best battery saver. Has anyone done any testing on this at all, and could share their findings?

I'm currently on the .20 radio but would definitely be interested in any advantages another radio might provide. I'm running Neophyte's Froyo Sense 1.71
[Desire General] Imperium:
Well I definitely noticed some increase in overall battery life with 08 but when actually using the device for surfing the web or navigation the battery is still very weak in my opinion.

So don't expect any miracles.
[Desire General] nforsans:
On .20 using Pays-Desire rom - I too have seen an improvement in battery life but having installed Juice plotter I can see there is no significant change in battery usage when using the internet - it discharges at the same rate as before. What might have improved my battery life is the calibration of the battery - there is a thread about this on here, and I think it works.

I also notice the battery holds on for longer when the device is not doing anything (i.e. standby). On Juice Plotter I get a more or less flat line when the device is on standby with data connections off (I use Juice defender for that). But when it activates 3G etc then it starts discharging relatively quickly: 10% in half an hour of browsing - which means you go from a full to flat battery in 5 hours of surfing. As per previous roms under Froyo and Eclair.

Remember that you also have a contract with T-Mobile, which has its own ETF ($200 prorated). I think Amazon's $250 penalty is in addition to that.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiftyllama:
Right, a couple of problems have recently appeared on my hero one of them being major and the other minor but annoying!

Firstly I'll explain what I had done before it happened, I'd just flashed FroydVillain 1.2.1 and the nindroid-v1.2-352-691-test-signed kernel.

After this at somepoint that day (don't exactly know when) the trackball notification light turned on, and stayed on ever since. This happens the second the phone is booted after being off, even in recovery mode!

A few days after i decided i was fed up with this problem and decided to sort it, to the best of my limited knowledge, and flashed a variety of ROMs and kernals,. Still no luck! THE DAMN THINGS STILL ON!

Then to top it all off the phone is no longer recognised by any computer when attached via USB. I've done some hunting and tired clearing drivers etc like suggested in this forum still nothing,

Any ideas?

Are these hardware faults?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Eagle Creek:
Hi!

I first noticed this problem yesterday. After turning the device off, I had trouble turning it back on again. It booted, but before showing the Windows Mobile logo, it "crashed" (went black) and rebooted again.

It kept doing this, so I unplugged the battery for a minute, put it back in, plugged in the power cord and then it was fine.

This afternoon I turned my phone off, and right after that tried to turn it on again. No way...

It starts, and the backlight is at 100%. After 2 seconds it shows "smart mobility". 5 seconds later it shows R/G/D with numbers in the right bottom corner. Then after 10 seconds the backlight dims, and nothing happens at all.

I tried charing the battery fully before trying again. I had it both connected to a low power source (USB) and a 220V socket. I removed the battery several times, and tried to reset the device too. I also tried to start w/o battery, but it refuses. I also tried starting with and without MiniSD card and SIM. No difference.

No custom ROM installed. The device worked fine for more than 2 years now. Never had any trouble like this.

Now what?

[Shift Development] deprotector:
Hi all,

I just updated my HTC Shift with an SSD GMonster Photofast 1.8 ZIF V4 128GB and RAM 2GB Kingston DDR2 214pin MicroDIMM. Both was bought from eBay. The 128GB SSD cost me 589$ and the 2GB RAM cost me 189$.

My WM side is flashed with the Age of Beauty ROM by Thaihugo with GPS and Phone activated wich works better and lite version have a lot of free space. On Windows side I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate.

I have old experience with cell phones repairing and software updating so was very easy to open the Shift and replace the HDD and RAM. The SSD connector is identical with the genuine HDD connector and the SSD size match perfectly the HDD size. I restored my old Windows 7 image to the new SSD using Acronis True Image Home which done the work as expected.

Everything goes fine but when my Windows 7 try to boot sometimes I get blue screen. Sometimes boot was completed but in 5-10 minutes I get again blue screens. The errors messages was different but when searching on Google all were reffered to RAM. I also read here an article with the same issue for some users after upgrading to 2GB RAM so I restored my 1GB RAM and the "blue screen" issue was gone. I contacted the seller of the RAM and I will send it back tomorrow to get an replacement item.

HTC Shift support 2GB RAM and the memory was compatible and new item but seems that some items arrive defective from factory but an replacement will fix that issue.

Anyway the GMonster PhotoFast 1.8 ZIF V4 128GB is the fastest on the market as the read/sec speed is 120MB/sec and the write/sec speed is the 90MB/sec comparing with the original HTC Shift HDD which have about 20MB/sec read speed and 15MB/sec write speed. This also come with 64MB RAM inside and Built-in Garbage Collection which make it really faster and stable. GMonster is an Japan company with it's factory in Taiwan and they seems to be a great name on SSD.

Even with 1GB RAM installed my boot time speed was reduced dramatically and everything is faster as before. My battery life increased with about 30 min as those GMoster SSD's are low energy level optimized. Now the fan don't run at maximum speed anymore. Is like I own a new device so even if I spent about 600$ for this SSD believe me that is really a great difference.

Now I expect my RAM replacement so I can start using the maximum performance with my HTC Shift.

Best Regards!
[Shift Development] deprotector:
Remember that when you use SSD, you need to optimize your Windows for SSD as there are some tehnologies created to make old HDD faster but those will end by shorting your SSD life if not disabled.

1. Disable Defrag as SSD is faster enough to not need it.

2. Disable Prefetch (you need to edit registry).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefetcher

3. Disable Superfetch service.

4. Disable ReadyBoost (from "Performance Monitor").

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18073901

Windows 7 should disable by default all those things but the issue come that Windows 7 is not yet able to detect all SSD so if will not know that the hardware installed is an SSD then will keep them active.
