I believe in Roufianos. I'm sure that our Desires can handle 30FPS 720p recording, but that HTC hasn't been able to optimize their recording algorithms as good as possible + that slow SD-cards can be a problem as Roufianos stated, 720p videos take very much space (live compression is usually not that good).

Can't wait for the ROM! :)
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
Re-read his first post. Basically, recording over 3 minutes and you risk burning out yiur Desire. Id rather stick with alright safe recording than great but highly risky recording.
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Bull****. A screenshot of the rom would make us all believe. A video is nothing to us unless you videoed a mirror to show us it was a desire reflecting on there.
[Desire Android Development] DesirableHTC:
i haven't watched this video on this thread yet, but im sure that on the previous thread the video that tron posted was shot inside and then he moved to the window where he panned up and down the street.....

I too believe in Tron, as i have no reason to NOT believe in him. I used roufianous ROM, and i was very happy with it. People are so quick to condemn someone on here, the same thing happened with udk before he released his sense ROM, OK tron might have waited until the rom was ready to release, his bad. But does he really deserve all this negativity? I dont think he does, he is spending his own time doing this, for us!!
[Desire Android Development] umd:
Who said this time he will release the same thing? He said that he has been working on it.

N1 has the same hardware as Desire and it can record 25 FPS HD video(I watched it on Youtube). And I set my Desire's cpu at 768 Mhz and it can still record 18-20 FPS HD video(I didn't even try at lower Mhz). So, if Desire's camera sensor allows, why cannot Desire take 25+ FPS HD video?
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
He said so himself. First post, read it. He says that recording over 3 minutes can burn out the Desire. So its the same thing, just prolonged a bit. Still too high a risk imo.
[Desire Android Development] ilegend:
how rude can YOU be!!!

you havnt even got a chance to try it yet... so why the hell are you so rude about it?...
[Desire Android Development] umd:
This time Desire will just burn. When he broke his desire, what he was doing was too heavy I guess. But I'm thinking, how could that being hotness have any connection with screen type?
[Desire Android Development] sgk2007:
Everyone here please wait some more days to see what is the results. Please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Isn't that you guys waiting for this to become true?

I strongly believe that this can be done. Froyo 2.2 with Defrost & OpenDesire ROMs (CY mod) can almost do good on recording 720p videos @23fps with good brightness, users of those ROM can prove this.

Please wait for 4 more days.
[Desire Android Development] bakedecake:
I've made a rom that enables 3D recording on the desire but your phone will turn into a pumpkin if you use it, but I'll release it one day :D

Yes I am joking.
[Desire Android Development] GANJDROID:
Precisely. Recording a video over 3 mins makes the device get hot. This must be what happened before, but he probably ignored it. I cant see people recording videos and pating attention to the time and temp of the device. Its ridiculous.
[Desire Android Development] atomfix:
Because he is useing it right now so on behalf of the people that are calling it fake, we need proof of this Alpha/beta rom. A video is nothing, prob from another phone or a camera
[Desire Android Development] xmfreak:
Well, I rarely record more than 2 minutes on videos so I'll be safe :D
[Desire Android Development] andycted:
No ! I want it ! Both 3D recording and the pumpkin !

By the way, I can get 26 fps in good lighting, without aosp roms, so 30 isn't unreachable. But as stated there are a couple of dark points:

-if he's been working after he burned his first phone, why he's still submitting the same video of weeks ago ?

-why no answer, no clarification ?

-what has amoled to do with getting hot ?

-if htc froyo camera is still closed source, as well as drivers (i think) where does he get this stuff to work with ?

I'm skeptical, even if not completely, but he's not helping with his cryptic answers and declarations

[EVO 4G General] manoosie:
Ok, so I finally bought into this whole "task killers are horrible especially on froyo" bit and have not used one for a couple months and have factory reseted my phone between then and now.

There times my phone barely functions. I am currently listening to music and it skips every few seconds because the phone is so slow. Why isn't android killing the background apps? Sure, in a FEW HOURS it will be working ok again but give me a break. Why is it so bad?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Where is the music you are listening to? Your sdcard? Pandora's servers?

[EVO 4G General] Dany0:

[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
i dont seem to have this problem either. even my friends that are too dumb to figure out how to root and install custom roms dont have this problem.... weird.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I use a task killer. I have no problems with it on Froyo. Sometimes my phone is running a little slower than I'd like it to, and I use the task killer and it helps. I really don't know why people have such a problem with task killers. I think it helps me more than it hurts, but if someone wants to chime and fill me in as to why they are frowned upon, maybe I'll change my mind about them.
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
I always used a task killer mainly cuz I think it improved battery life a bit and also never bought into the anti task killer mentality. But since Froyo no longer lets them completely kill the app I've stopped using them. To me they seem unnecessary now.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I don't think its anything that the phone is running in the background. I think its the kernel you might be running. I am running Netarchy 4.1. 9.1. And it does that, I was also running KingxKlick #4 I believe when it was doing that.

Try using a different kernel.

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G General] Dany0:
Hellooo.... I said nHAVS
[EVO 4G General] edufur:
I think the OP needs to be a bit more specific. What music app? Is everything slow? Custom ROM or stock? Did you try wiping both caches?

This problem wouldn't be considered normal for anyone. So either it is an easy fix, or you might have a defective phone.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Need more details, what ROM & Kernel are you using? What apps do you have?

I use a task killer but only manually and only kill apps I know don't need to be open, it works great. You just shouldnt use them if you are one of those people that wants to kill every single process that is in memory.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Are you using the BFS or CFS version? The BFS version did that to me as well, CFS runs perfect though.
[EVO 4G General] pbarrett:
I still wanna find the person that wrote the development guideline that says that apps shouldn't have a Quit option in the settings. It's one thing to back out of an app to do something else, then come back to where you left it. But a lot of times, I KNOW I'm finished with an app, I want to release its resources NOW and there's no Quit option. It's probably some of these that don't let go nicely that cause me to have much worse battery life one day than the next.
[EVO 4G General] ekokinex:
Give them a good punch for me. Add a QUIT option next time!
[EVO 4G General] joshkoss:
Please be helpful to the op guys.
[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
OP, if you haven't done so after you stopped using a task killer, you should do a factory reset. One of the issues with task killers is it can mess up the way Android handles tasks automatically. So if you do a factory reset and don't run any task killers, Android gets pretty efficient on its own and you shouldn't have any more issues. If you are using a custom kernel/rom like others are saying, then you'll want to try switching Roms. Remember to do a full wipe any time you switch roms/kernels. Also, if you are using Titanium backup when switching, don't replace everything. I had a lot of issues when I did that because it can replace some things that won't work right when replaced on a new rom. Plus, if you are having performance problems, it can also be caused by a specific app or service, and restoring it will only bring the problem to the new Rom. I suggest using App Brain to backup your apps and Titanium for only a few specific things, like Scenes and SMS.

Try the Factory reset first without installing anything. Give it a day and see how well it performs. If that works, add things back and see if it still performs well. If that doesn't work, try a different Rom if you are using a custom one or a new kernel if using a custom kernel. If stock, then you probably have a specific app that is causing issues and you'll want to uninstall it. Android will remain pretty speedy if you don't use a task killer as it learns and becomes more efficient at handling tasks.

To all those that say task killers work great, the reason you don't understand the issue is because you haven't read how Android works and how task killers interfere. They are bad, and even Google's engineers say that. They wrote the platform, so I'd recommend that you follow their advice. You can really screw stuff up with a task killer and overall they don't actually help you at all. Most people find that they use more power and resources than they end up saving, since if they are running on automatic, they are actively using resources to stop apps. That, and the system uses more resources to restart an app after its killed, which will worsen battery life and resources more than if you just let it run. Most "running" apps are actually just sitting in memory, doing nothing. When Android is running properly, it manages the memory, keeping it mostly full of apps that it thinks you might need in the future sitting there. If you open an app that isn't already in memory, it chooses to close other apps that you are less likely to use to give back enough memory for the current app.

In short, if you are having issues with Android not managing resources properly, its either because you screwed it up using a task killer, or you screwed it up with some mod that interferes with Android's resource management tools, which will either make it unstable or break it completely.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
I was not seeing embedded video links in my non stock browsers, or in Google reader. In fact if I clicked on a reader item that had one I was either immediatly taken to the stock browser saying link not found, or page cannot be opened, or was given the list of apps and browser choices. This was extremely annoying to say the least. I did not want to delete the stock browser so I just moved it to my SD.card for storage using root explorer. This cleared up the problem right away. Thought this might help a few people. Mods move this if its in the wrong place.
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Lmao. I swear its gotta be me, or something in the air but this is the second post where I have no clue what the hell people are saying....you weren't seeing embedded stuff in your browser. So, using root manager you moved the browser to the sd card. And this took care of the problem. Lol. Wtf did I just say? Wait wait wait. Do you mean by moving the stock browser grin the internal sd card to the external sd card you can now see embedded stuff? People choose your words carefully. Remember there are 2 types of sd cards on this phone, internal and external. Please be specific.
[Vibrant General] demize!:
You have a question, or are you just being a smartass? Of course its the removable sd. why wouldnt I specify if it was internal, if its a stock app then its in system/apps.

[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
My phone frequently gets very warm. I have battery monitor installed ands I'm ruining st 110 F now and caught it at 116 earlier. Is this normal?
[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Depends

It depends but watch it carefully. If it gets so hot it reboots, then NO.

My first Incredible (I am on # 3) would randomly start getting hot (even when not used), and when it hit 113, it would start a reboot cycle of 'first white screen' then black, then 'first white screen', then black ... 4-13 times, until finally moving to the HTC Cares (or whatever it says) screen. Ultimately sent it back.

You may find that your Incredible was one of the earliest run, and has a bad radio (a physically bad radio, not some flashed thing). With this, it tries super hard to get a signal, and heats up.

You will ultimately want to return your phone if this happens.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
So far no shut offs. I installed set cpu last week and I have a temperature profile at 45.5 C (113 F?). It goes over. Like I said was 116 F today. It does seem to be with 3g. My battery life also sucks even with a screen off profile throttled to 468. I even have battery profiles that throttle at 50% to 768 and 35% to 499. Don't see a difference though.
[Droid Incredible General] Reddog80p:
I've never seen mine over 96. That was when I was overclocked to 1190 with "performance" on setCPU while running benchmarking apps. I got mine on launch day.
[Droid Incredible General] MMBosstones86:
agreed, never seen mine go over 100. Just started OC'ing to a little over 1ghz and still no problems. Great bat life.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bird333:
How can I export my contacts to be imported again later? Does the gmail sync only work one way? I.e. from your gmail account to your phone and not the other way around?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richhed:
There is a built-in import-export tool available in the menu in contacts.

It exports contacts to sd card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bird333:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faroid:
The only option I can see under import/export in the contacts menu is 'send namecard via'. I don't see the import option.

I have a csv file that I need to import, and I don't want to sync with gmail, any ideas? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faroid:
Well I figured how to import contacts (not sync) without going through gmail. I know most of the users sync with gmail but in case you don't want to here's one way to do it on Windows. Eventually you'll need a single vCards (.vcf) file. If you can't export into vcf files from Outlook or whatever source you can do this:

-export contacts into a CSV file

-import into Windows contacts

-export into vCards (vcf files)

-combine all vcf files into 1 (in the command line navigate to the folder where your vcf files are and run this: "copy *.vcf allcontacts.vcf")

-copy the merged file allcontacts.vcf to your phone

-delete your phone contacts

-click on allcontacts.vcf to import the contacts to your phone

I'll be doing this until they come up with a sync tool over usb or bluetooth. :eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:
I have a vcf file from an old phone that I want to import. I mounted the phone as a mass storage device on my ubuntu box. Where should I put the file so that the contacts program can find it?

Thanks for any help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Just stick it on your external sd (if you are using one) or the root of your internal mem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apexofservice:
Thanks zelendel. I'm actually so noob at this phone that I haven't quite learned how to use the UI very efficiently yet. I found the 'import' option for the contacts program, and that let me import my vcf file (which i put into the root of the phone since I don't have an external sd card yet). Again, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
This is the way I do:

Backup "contacts storage" in TiBu. Save this backup in a safe place.

This I use to restore all contacts intact whenever I flash any new ROM. This restores "favorite contacts" too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtrao:
Put in the internal card the import should see the file. The other option is to go to the file via astro and select it will ask where to import
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
I have used TiBu and it works great

But I also sync with my GMail. I was bored one day so I actually went into my contacts on my lappy and updated everything in my contacts folder. And when I flash a new ROM all I do is log into my GMail and Sync. and POOF! Everything comes back up like nothing ever happened.

Also if you go into Contacts --> Settings --> Save New Contacts and set it to GMail or Google (Which ever it says) it will keep everything up to date and there is no need to backup.

Hope that helps

Well, who didn't see this coming ;)

I will need some testers to let me know:

What baked in app sucks

what features you have/don't have (sideload, mobileap, etc)

what extras you would like to see

etc...

-OR-

Start a chip-in account so I can get my hands on one of these. (it will be donated to some lucky person after I am done with it)

Umm, all the above suggestions are great. exporting vcards of specific groups would be nice!! As of now, you can only export ALL your contacts.
