[Wildfire General] d3f:
Hello buddies,

I have problem with my Wildfire camera. Pictures are very blurry. When I shot a car from 4-5 meters the car number can be recognized.

I took the phone many times to garantee service but they did not repair or change the phone.

Please attach pictures from Wildfire camera to make a comparison.

L.H.
[Wildfire General] 71baker:
The car that you can read the licence plate on is like 4-5 meters away , the others are too far away. To take a pic of those you need a better camera.
[Wildfire General] blaz.andrejcic:
Hi!

My Wildfire takes nice pistures. A few examples in attached rar.

I think there is something wrong with your camera or settings.

Check your settings in camera. Look if you have 5M resolution and HIGH quality.

Link to images: http://www.4shared.com/get/pY7tq4l-/Wildfire.html
[Wildfire General] Aeren:
That looks like a halfway decent picture.

Hows about some basic information first?

-What ROM are you using? (Custom or Stock)

-What Camera App Are you Using?

-Have You Messed Around With Any Settings?

These are important things to consider and can have an effect on the quality of pictures taken.

Also, you must realise that although capable of 5MP photos, the quality of the lens is not that good, therefore the end result is the quality of the photo's suffer. But for a telephone, it isnt too bad.
[Wildfire General] ogreen10:
Hi!

The picture looks quite ok. Try to set autofocus off, that helped my Wildfire to take beter shots.
[Wildfire General] d3f:
Now my Wildfire is in second service for testing.

I tried everything with settings(autofocus is ON and HIGH quality), I think that there is hardware problem but from first service I left the phone tells me that the phone is ok.

I do not know how to prove that the phone is not ok. Reseller company from which I bought the phone tells me that HTC Wildfire camera makes worst pictures than QVGA camera?!?!

The ROM is HTC stock with the last update and I'm using the default camera application.

I wanted to make a comparison with other Wildfire phones.

I will write to HTC with question is there a bad seria with camera problems ...
[Wildfire General] brecha:
men, is that you workplace ?, how is the name of the company you work.. i think looks quite familiar to me
[Wildfire General] d3f:
My company is HP Reseller, the picture is from EXPO 2000.

But it's not a question in that thread.

If you have a Wildfire, please attach some pictures, if you could show us pictures from where I'm working taken with Wildfire, it may helps me.

Here I'm attaching other pictures taken with my Wildfire ...
[Wildfire General] zephyri-xr:
Use taping on the screen instead of using tracker when taking photos. You have to tap and hold the area that you want to focused. ;)

I couldn't upload more because most of my photos are personal ;)
[Wildfire General] drioo:
And don't forget to maximize sharpness in settings.
[Wildfire General] d3f:
I tried to capture with taping on the screen ... nothing better ...

I wrote to HTC ... now I am waiting for reply and proposal...
[Wildfire General] kujonek:
Hello,

it must be definitelly problem only with your camera. My WF makes pics not bad at all. But have to say that my previous E52 made better ones :-/
[Wildfire General] tejas612:
how can you get such a high quality picture?

have you changed any setting? if so please specify

i hardly get pictures in Mbs. its always near 700 or 800kbs

also if object is moving then the image is blurry
[Wildfire General] kujonek:
No, I am running absolutelly stock photocamera soft with high quality photos (you can set it in setting), 5Mpix. Photo quality depends mostly on light conditions.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billybag:
Noticed recently that When a phone call is in progress, the screen will go black no matter what and to get it to come back i have to manual hit the top power button.

I first noticed it with energy rom. When autobacklight was enabled, their was no getting back to screen at all. Disabling autobacklight at least allowed me to get the screen back after clicking the power button.

I switched to core cell rom and noticed the same issue, however, i can manually turn the screen on again even if autobacklight is enabled.

I have no further problems with the proximity sensor, just this one.

Is their perhaps some sort of proximity app that i could use to diagnose whether this is a hardware problem or software problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mnementh666:
Ok, I had a similar issue, where the phone screen would turn off as soon as the "send" button was pressed, and the only way to turn it back on was either hanging up, or waiting till it felt like coming back on.

My proximity sensor was stuck "on". I could see the sensor status in the registry (don't remember offhand the reg entry, but it's a live reading of the sensor, 1 or 0). I installed "Proximity Sensor for Screen Off v0.2" from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=624206

That was a mistake on my part, though... then the screen wouldn't come back on! It took some real finagling to get the screen on.

To fix it (temporary? permanent? dunno...) I waved a small neodymium magnet over the sensor (near the ear speaker). I have no clue why that worked. I don't know why it stopped. I *definitely* don't know if that's the issue you are having. But it's worth a shot :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I've never had this issue after many different iterations of the Energy ROM.

Do you run Task29 when you flash ROMs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] billybag:
Yeah i always task29. I don't believe it is the rom since i have tried another rom and the problem persisted. I tried the magnet idea but it didn't work. It was a refrigerator magnet though so i didn't expect it to. Anything else that requires the prox. sensor to work, has no problems and that is why this is weird to me.

I'm having a little lockscreen issue. Everytime I lock my phone I go to unlock it and I get a lag that is immensely unbearable. Would a different kernel help? Any suggestions? I'm running cm6 with a android phone 7 layout.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] laie1472:
Deacd3nce kernels all of them but the # 13 and 12 bfs are the ones I use and trust me I have no lag but different hero's perform different so I would suggest going to hero android development on XDA and finding the thread Kernel/Bfs and Cfs for CM6 and read read read

That might help hope it does good luck

I have lost my unlock code due to a HD failure. I am currently rooted and unlocked, and I run the leaked Froyo ROM.

What will happen in the future, should I want to flash, say, a Cyanogen ROM (*if* it becomes available)? Will I lock again? I understand my unlock codes were wiped when I flashed the new ROM.

Is there a way to insure I do not become locked again?

I have searched threads extensively, I do not think I have found a consensus on this? Anyone care to enlighten me?

Hey guys

it would be great to get a vote from you on the WP7de App Idea Contest - any help is appreciated. The contest ends on October 28.

My Idea:

WP7 - Wall&Hub Customizer

The Customizer allows you to set your own Wallpaper on the HomeScreen which is so far not provided by WP7. You can change it automaticly with a time intervall (hour,daily, at every new startup) as well.

Another thing what you can change are the graphics of the HUBs like the transparency, color(s) and it supports rounded corners.

Feel free to vote for my entry if you like the idea. You can vote daily.

Please follow the link to facebook and press the button "Gefällt mir".

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanssv:
Hi Guys ,

My friend bought HD7 for me from UK O2 pay and go. He will send it to me ( I am in Belgium). Without opening the box he told me the IMEI nr from the BOX. I searched Unlock code from the site . But it couldnot find the unlock code.

So my phone should be ON for that and It should be on O2 SIM? if i get my phone here, still i have to choose UK and network O2 in the unlocking site?

Please help me.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risq:
Hello,

Yes you still need to select the network as O2 and United Kingdom. It would be better to get your friend to do it before he sends it to you.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Rooted Evo 2.2 via UnrEVOked 3.21 stock everything. I can't get this to install. I emailed the dev and he told me that I need to use UnrEVOked Forever because 3.21 doesn't have NAND unlocked. According to the UnrEVOked website that is not true. 3.21 does have Nand unlocked.

Do any of you guys have any idea on how I can get this stupid app installed?

Titanium installed a version of it but I think that only Titanium can access it. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kf2m:
If Titanium installed busybox try going to a sheel then type in busybox. If you get a display with a command listing then type in busybox --install /system that should install busybox so you can use the full command set.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
What is a sheel? Is this some kind of adb thing? Can you explain it to me step by step like I have down syndrome please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
i have an older version of busybox (1.16.2) and while trying to install 1.17.1 the installer is telling me that installation failed because 1) the device is not nand unlocked or 2) app was unable to remount.

my phone has been nand-unlocked for months. i've even installed this and other busybox versions prior to trying now on this rom. can flashing a new rom (MetroDroid) change my nand-unlock status? (i dont think so)...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Max I got the same exact message from BusyBox. When I emailed the dev he told me that 3.21 does not have Nand unlocked, which does not appear to be true. I have stock everything...IDK wtf is going on with this app. It really blows!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
I have titanium backup installed with the busybox version from tib. Downloaded the bbox installer from the market and installed ver. 1.17 just fine.

Rooted with unrevoked forever for s-off and regaw's root method and currently running rooted 3.29.

Thought i would get an error like you guys but install was without a hitch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You can find out if you are NAND unlocked by turning your phone off and then turning it back on while holding the volume down button. If you see S=OFF then you are unlocked. Also make sure that nothing is using busy box or root and try killing any unnecessary apps with a task killer. You can't change it if something is using it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
Haus: if S is on what Rico have to do? can I change it from that boot screen? Do I have re root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You can use unrevoked forever or install the engineering bootloader, if you plan on flashing a lot of ROMs the eng bootloader is probably your best bet. That will give you the fastboot tools and allow you to use Cyanogenmod
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SantinoInc:
****. You were right man. S=On. I thought Unrevoked 3.21 unlocked nand. Did I screw up somewhere? What is this engineer bootloader u mention. I never heard of it. How do I get it? Is it hard to use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You'll need to flash a custom Recovery and use that to flash either the eng bootloader or unrevoked forever. I believe ROM manager can install the recovery for you or the Amon RA thread in my sig has the instructions to do it manually. A quick search should turn up the eng bootloader, sorry I don't have the link handy though

Edit: Found it Evo eng hBoot .76 - Recovery Flashable

Is there any way to get the MIUI messaging app running on other ROMs? I really like that version but not sure I could just extract the APK and install it on another ROM.

(For what it's worth I bounce back and forth between Skyraiders 3.3.2 and IncDoes Desire Z ports)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Macros617:
I second this. I really enjoy the MIUI sms app. Especially the one prior to the new releases (the wooden themed one) Would be interesting to see it. it's like a combination of stock sms and handcent.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Mtnbiker:
I'll back the OP saying I loved this app too. Would be great to have this in other ROMS. MIUI was nice ... but I found myself missing the old interface.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syfo:
So my desire (phone :P ) was stolen yesterday, it was without a contract so no warranty, I'm still trying to track it down with lookout but no luck so far. And so I have to finally admit it, I need another phone and need some input on this.

Really loved my desire and I would really want another one, but now the DHD is on the picture, initially I didn't plan on upgrading but now I got the option.

If I go with the Desire I got the great community and support plus the ability to root and s-offing it right out of the box. The only con I find is that probably it won't be amoled any more. Or I can go with the HD having beefed up specs, new Sense, but not a big support for rooting and modding, not yet though.

So what should I do, what do you recommend?

[HD Mini General] Jem123:
Hi,

I am using the HD Mini with HTC Sense and Windows Mobile software.

I first used the wifi at work and entered their security key to get access to the internet without any problem.:D

When I got home I did the same, enter the security key number and got internet access.:D

I presumed that the device would save both sets of connection security keys, however when I went back to work the following day I had to enter the security key again.:(

The HD Mini does not seem to save the security key number. Nor does it save the home security key once I have typed in the office one.:mad:

Is there some way I can save both keys so it automatically connects up to the wifi?:cool:

Any apps that can do this on the Windows Mobile or HTC Sense system?

John
[HD Mini General] wowkazmir:
Hey, i doubt this is a common error as i am able to do this with no problem. After i type in the security code the first time the phone automatically signs me in. This is the case for using the wifi at my parent's house, my univerisity and the couple of friend's houses i have logged in at.

The thing with my university though is that the first time i had to manually establish a connection by going to adaptor and networks and then filling it my details. Whenever you fill in a security key it should automatically save the key for future access. However, your problem may actually not be the phone saving the key, it may be that the wifi source(your work) requires you to establish a new connection everytime, for security reasons.

Do some trial and error because as far as i know, i've never had difficulties with having to re-enter a security key.
[HD Mini General] Jem123:
Hi Kazmir,

Thanks for the suggestion. I entered the work wifi access manually, just as you suggested, and now it picks up each site automatically without having to re-enter the security keys.:D

Thank you!
[Vibrant General] Gix0r:
I saw your posts in the battery life thread and dig some digging after looking at my SystemMonitor results. These are pretty much all showing up in my System Processes list as well. Here's what I've found so far:

sensorserver_ya - Tied to the use of the accelerometer. This was showing constant CPU usage while ShootMe was running because it actives by shaking. As soon as I stopped ShootMe, this disappeared.

drexe - This one was showing almost constant 1% CPU usage. According to this thread, drexe and another process are both for some Samsung software called NPS(New PC Studio,) which I have never used and don't plan on using. I took the advice of the post and disabled them using adb. I'll report back results after a day or so.

Let me know if you've found out anything about the rest. Maybe bumping this thread up will get some more eyes on it :)
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
Hi Gix0r,

Sorry for the late reply; I have not been spending much time in the forums these days.
