For some reason my pictures are blurry landscape I have to zoom in a tad for them to clear up.... anyone know why this happens?
[EVO 4G General] ins0dus:
Mine too

Blury and I think that my Flash is not timed well, because all my pictures come out Really white from the Flash? im Using Fresh Rom with the Stock Kernel HTC
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
+1 very annoying if you ask me
[EVO 4G General] msimindlessmsi2:
Yea I have that issue as well. Pic is blurry until u zoom in just a bit then its fine
[EVO 4G General] nosfanatic2006:
Same issue here. I noticed it last week but didnt think much of it
[EVO 4G General] mikeyfg:
Ummm bump any devs know why?
[EVO 4G General] boredmug:
Pretty sure my Hero did this crap too.. ANNOYING!
[EVO 4G General] thefoss:
I've noticed this too. And any ideas on the flash issue? Renders night time pics useless
[EVO 4G General] drksilenc:
your best bet is to adjust the iso to around the 200 range. if anything is causing this its the auto iso
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I turned my brightness down to anywhere between 2.6-4.0 and night time pics are beautiful, not that ultra bright ridiculousness and as far as the blur, I haven't had that issue
[EVO 4G General] mikeyfg:
Def didnt help i took 5 pics just now and it didnt change its gotta be a software issue it works fine vertical but once you flip it landscape it gets blurry just dosent make any sence :confused: someone help please
[EVO 4G General] ImmortalLuD:
It's just the software... My Hero did the same thing.

Usually a different image viewer fixes this, but we shouldn't have to install other software to fix these things...
[EVO 4G General] mikeyfg:
Any dev think they can fix this?? This is insane seriously
[EVO 4G General] crstfr:
i have the same issue.. have to zoom the pic in a tad to clear it up!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] PumpAction:
I have a GSM Touch Pro 2 with a custom ROM and experience some heavy performance problems in Windows (that I hadn't until WM 6.5 +).

So I tried out xdandroid, which is great but somehow the market stopped working and I can't receive any incoming calls anymore (phone does not ring for me but only for the person calling).

Lately I installed HyperDroid V1.7 on my uncles Touch HD2 and it looks very nice and has 2D and 3D support as it seems, further it was VERY fluent and looked really great (especially the fonts, but though he has the newest ROM and RADIO, he can't do any calls because his and the calling persons voice is heavily distorted).

As I liked HyperDroid I wondered if I could install it on my Touch Pro 2 :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
If they have a system.ext2 file you can grab, then maybe... but you do realize the HD2 is MUCH farther along than our sad TP2's. Unfortunately for us, the TP2 was neglected in the hardware category. Your uncle's HD2 has a much faster processor - this means more devs flock to the device, and the development of it went quickly aslo because I think a lot of native Android phones have the same or similar hardware.

With that said, you can't compare the two devices, especially when it comes to the Android experience - the HD2 is bascially done, they just need to sort out the best way to flash it.
[Desire Themes and Apps] ali_loly10:
i need apps to monitor

amount of sms / month

amount of voice calls / month

amount of data usage /month

i dont mind they being separate apps
[Desire Themes and Apps] trucker11:
what your looking for is called Droidstats i use it with my contract i think its good
[Desire Themes and Apps] vnvman:
This. But also call meter ng is pretty good...
[Desire Themes and Apps] ali_loly10:
Downloading as we speak

thanks

EDIT:Good app indeed :d

can't find it in the market

but also thanks
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
Hey, i am going to maintain here a list of all thing which can be pressed and trigger some events in special occasions. I only know about two yet, thats where the community drops in. Post your find here and i will put it in this list.

Reboot

Hold Vol-Down, Trackpad and press Power

Reboots the system! Instant!

Prerequesite: Kernel must be loaded, so does not work the first few seconds after power on.

Warning:This does not unmount your sd-card or unlock any system files. Its basicly the same as removing the battery and should only be used in case your system crashed and does not react anymore. Think of it as a reset button on your PC, which you wouldnt press as long as windows runs fine.

Credits: myself

Bootloader/HBoot

Hold Vol-Down and press Power

Starts the phone and brings you to HBoot Menu

Prerequesite: Phone must be off for this to work

Notes: Navigate through HBoot/Fastboot with vol-up, vol-down and power as select button

Credits: myself

Bootloader during reboot

Hold Vol-Down and wait

Brings you to HBoot Menu

Prerequesite: Phone must be rebooting.

Notes: Make sure to press Vol-Down early enough. Must be pressed in before the boot-splash-image. Navigation, see above.

Credits: myself

Android safe mode

While phone boots, press and hold menu

starts up android in safe mode.only system apps are started, 3rd party apps are ignored

Prerequesite: None

Notes: You have too hold menu for a long time, from power on nearly until sim code dialogue

Depending on the rom you use, there is a small chance, it won't work, or the rom won't start.

Credits: *aliquando*

For a list of (all?) secret phone codes, see here - thanks lothaen!
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Thisll be a good guide for people who have no idea, but these have been pretty basic essentials for rooted devices simce the G1.

None the less, im sure people will find this useful :)

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Nice, I did not know about the reboot!
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
To be honest, I hope to find some more combinations than these three. I wouldn't have started this thread if I had no hope, there is more to find.is Up to you people to add here.

If there is nothing to add anymore, this thread will die pretty fast.

Sent from my S-OFF'd brain using teh internetz
[Desire General] lohpsch:
Nice, the reboot trick is quite useful.

Thanks,

:)
[Desire General] *aliquando*:
I know this one but I think it is common for Android. When your phone is off. Push menu button then power. Don't release menu until you see a message on bottom left of the screen. This mode is secure I.e. it loads only software of the ROM without 3rd applications.
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
Thanks for your input.pretty nice trick.added to initial post.

GIVE ME MORE :-)

Sent from my S-OFF'd brain using teh internetz
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Don't know if you want to include number codes here?

i.e. http://sefanboy.com/2010/09/05/htc-desire-tips-n-tricks-google-android-hidden-secret-codes/
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
Even though this was not the intention if this thread, this is a VERY nice compilation of all codes. Will add this link to the first post

Sent from my S-OFF'd brain using teh internetz
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
*bump* - need more input (:
[Desire General] st0kes:
Yeah I posted about this 3 months ago :)

By the way that reboot is not graceful. i.e. your sdcard is not properly dismounted and open files are not closed. It is the same as a battery pull, so I would only use if your phone it totally locked up ...
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I would agree and would also suggest that the OP put a warning about this in the 1st post. This reboot method should really only be used as a last resort...

One more (probably well known) function is long-pressing the Menu key to bring up the soft keyboard. It used to work even on the homescreen, but it no longer does ever since Froyo. It will works elsewhere though. Really doesn't serve any purpose, though...
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
warning added. i am a bit surprised, there are not more combinations. seams we got them all now. wouldnt have started this topic, if i knew its only such few things.
[Desire General] samsanchez88:
It works on my unrooted froyo desire's homescreen... Maybe it's because i'm using launcher pro but i am almost sure it also worked on sense..... or maybe not:p!!
[Desire General] Yogimax:
It works on a stock Froyo running sense, but only when you are in an application and not on the home screen.
[Desire General] philje123:
The reboot could come in handy!

P.s. Mad-murdock noticed you are in Bielefeld area. Don't really hear of it too much.

Got family in and around bielefeld and will be there this christmas.

Gruße

[Desire General] schiznik:
Works for me (using Zeam launcher on oxygen rom)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jquiyu:
Hi All,

I am new here.

My HTC Evo is rooted and I recently install the latest update 3.29.651.5.

What is the best way to install a custom theme such as the ones showed in the following thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768848.

Thanks in advance.:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidboyd:
Download the .zip of the theme...reboot into Recovery...perform Nandroid backup...flash the .zip for the theme...reboot. Viola!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jquiyu:
Tried it

Hi,

I tried this today.

And I ended up with a loop of the Sprint and 4g screen over and over again.

Any ideas?

I got it working.

THanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
If someone was able to upgrade an E10a to 2.1, could share the build.prop please?

Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
nope...

does the build.prop from the indian firmware thread work on e10a?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gammexane:
No, it is for e10i... The 3g bands are different between e10a and e10i, so if you use that build.prop from e10i in order to upgrade an e10a you won't be able to use 3g anymore.

We need a build.prop from any e10a updated, maybe USA or Brasil.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] iphonepimp:
Just emailed SE. I'll see what they say.

or either that we have to wait for another 3 months... fack

I flash my Galaxy S with Tayutama's last week and with PMVanillaDroid earlier this day. On both i have a display issue on the lockscreen. next to the charge status i have "%d%" and i don't know where it come from.

Here a screenshot of the Vanilla Rom lockscreen.

I know this is not a big problem, but it's driving me crazy not to knwo the source of it ! :)

So i search around for a while but can't find the answer, somebody got a clue for me?

[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Hello,

I own the French version of WP7.

Most of the time I'm typing my messages in French. Autocorrection works fine.

But for business purposes I also have to type my messages in English. Then WP7 will try to auto-correct my English words into French words, and messes everything.

That's crazy.

How can I have both French and English dictionaries ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Select multiple keyboard languages in the settings. When done so, your virtual keyboard will show a regional button right of the spacebar. Changing keyboard layout will change the dictionary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Thanks Tom for the tip.

That was quite easy. It didn't come to my mind to check in the general settings menu.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Spinstorm:
I want to put stock 2.2 keyboard on desire HD as I'm not a fan of the HTC keyboard.

I tried a linked download from another post on the nexus one forum but it crashes everytime!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] appelflap:
I'm also not a fan of the HTC keyboard... Nevertheless I'm a huge fan of this modded HTC keyboard: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-the-htc-typing-experience-on-your-g2/

Check it out... The keyboard is *highly* customizable. You can even set custom typing sounds without having full root. Great! because this means we now can have the nice tapping sound of the Windows Phone 7 keyboard on our Désiré HD.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gaabrysz:
Hmm so where do i get that wm7 sounds ?? :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Here you go. I got it from a WP7 dump (the wav is the original, the ogg file is compiled by me). Strangly there's just one sound.. I guess they are modifying this base sample with a algoritm. Don't see how else they can do this: http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/218282.asp

BTW Sounds on the keyboard I refered to are not working on the Desire HD :(. The developer was so kind to add the source code of the keyboard. I'll see if I can make the sounds work on the DHD
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SupremeBeaver:
Could you try install this apk and tell me if it works?

note, you'll have to enable android keyboard in the keyboard settings.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] combat goofwing:
as a newbie to android how do you install apk packs is it like a cab file in win mob
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SupremeBeaver:
yeah it is. you'll need a file explorer on your phone. Get ASTRO from the market. Drop the apk on your SD card, or download directly if you're viewing this from your phone. Then from Astro just locate the apk and launch!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] combat goofwing:
thanks very much
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] teihoata:
I'm still getting force closes upon opening the keyboard
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gaabrysz:
To bad. Good luck with making them work :-)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] SupremeBeaver:
well that's disappointing, i was planning on using that keyboard.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] krakajak:
I've also been trying to get the Froyo keyboard onto my Desire HD, no luck, all I get is force closes :( Somebody must have the know how to help with this!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] eozen81:
Just wonder we can use swype keyboard in Desire HD, right?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] bio88:
Yes you can, i have it installed on my stock unit.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] combat goofwing:
which version of swype are you using and does it work fine i was told there wasnt a swype version out yet for the DHD cause of landscape/potrait issues
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] bio88:
Hmm, i havent tried landscape yet. Ill check soon.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] krakajak:
Landscape works fine with Swype. Anyway, does anyone have the stock froyo keyboard working on their DHD? If so, how??
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] appelflap:
regular install won't work because of a library that google keyboards are depending on. The only way to get this to work is to copy it to your system/app folder. (Of course you need a full root to do that)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Teh_Higgins:
Copy the library file, or the keyboard apk?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] appelflap:
what (also) might work is

a) to install the froyo keyboard the usual way, and

b) to copy the library file libjni_latinime.so (a native c library file that will generate suggestions from a dictionary - faster than a java procedure) to the /system/lib dir. (Attached the library file to this post)

(The FC with the regular installation is caused by the fact that the keyboard can't load the library file. It looks for a native procedure but can't find it)

EDIT: if the attached library file doesn't work, you can also try the one that comes with the apk package (rename x.apk to x.zip and unzip it. In the lib directory you will find the library)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] keemyb:
Tried it, even chmodded 644 to no avail
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Teh_Higgins:
:(

Tried every port and version of the multi-touch droid2/X keyboard trying to get it to work on the Desire rom. Even the ones with a .lib in tow wouldn't work.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] msoler8785:
Im using a Desire HD rom on my HD2 and was having the same problems. If you download the Vlingo app from the marketplace. It contains the stock keyboard as well. Just go into language and keyboard and switch to vlingo keyboard.

After closer inspection its not exactly the same. It doesn't have the pull up keyboard.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mykeldrip:
looks like still no luck porting stock keyboard??!!? sad face
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mathrania:
try FREE "better keyboard" .... get from 4shared.com
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dudu7559:
Up to Android keyboard, I wouldn't rain on your parade but I've just found on Android Market a powerful keyboard with good key spacings and fully customizable....... Smart Keyboard Pro, it is absolutely cheap (3,12 €) and works like a charm.

Just try it! :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Droidzone:
Wow..Thanks a lot!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] BozQ:
You're not missing anything actually.

You could try searching for Gingerbread Keyboard, by the developer "Steven Lin". That works very well for Desire HD.

Otherwise, as someone else suggested, you could consider buying Smart Keyboard Pro. The app is very cheap, and its about as close to the original Android Keyboard as you can get.

Or get the HTC ime mod. Extremely good, customizable keyboard with lots of Android community love! :-)
[HD Mini General] oooLuckyooo:
Hello everyone, I'm so sorry if this thread has been already solved, but I could not find it.

Please could you tell me how to disable keyboard auto pop up. I have used this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:

Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1

It worked on internet, mail, and SMS. But I want to disable the one, when you are press "Phone"(Calls list) button.:confused:

And also in the same Calls list, how can I make the as default "View=>All Calls", because every time I choose "All Calls", then close it and going back it's changes to "Calls and Contacts".:confused:

I know I need to change/create registry, just please tell me which one and what value to put.

Please anyone. Thank you in advance.
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
+1..this is bugging me also:(
[HD Mini General] oooLuckyooo:
Anyone??? I can not believe noone has sort this problem out.
[HD Mini General] oooLuckyooo:
Please anyone, it is really annoying me!!!
[HD Mini General] fighter7139:
I'm not sure, I haven't test it, but i think the path, you are looking for is:

HKLM\\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting\KeyPadMode

For contacts, I don't know.
[HD Mini General] oooLuckyooo:
Thanky you for reply, but it does not working for me.

Maybe try to test yourself??? I might do something wrong!

Try to think of something else, maybe you will find a way to doit.

[HD7 General] Planescape:
Hi all

My g/f got the HD7 today and it's been fairly plain sailing so far. Couple of things have come up though, she got her contacts imported from her sim card without any problems but as soon as she linked her Hotmail account it imported those Contacts as well. Thing is she doesn't want the Hotmail contacts, so can we get rid of them without deleting the Hotmail connection.

We also couldn't find out how to set the snooze time for the alarm or set the alarm to be full volume as soon as it goes off.

Thanks for your help
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
you can't set the volume separately so the phone has to be left at full volume, and there aren't any snooze time settings as far as I've been able to see, the phones very beta maybe even alpha state atm
[HD7 General] Planescape:
They can't really have released a phone in beta form can they? That would be a sure fire way to upset customers. Going back to the alarm, currently it starts low and raises the volume over time, we want it full volume straight of. Might try a third party alarm.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
the software's stable but the feature set is really limited, patches are going to add features such as cut and paste and use your own ring tones, things that people have come to expect as standard, so though the software/hardware isn't really beta, the feature set is so lacking it's as if MS launched early and are waiting to hear the cries about what is missing to add them ala the cut and paste.
[HD7 General] tboy2000:
Any answer to the hotmail sync of contacts? Can we pick and choose which contacts to use or not use any or delete them after the sync?
[HD7 General] brummiesteven:
I had to delete all of my contacts, didn't really bother me seeing as I don't use MSN nowerdays and my Windows Live ID is a @Gmail addy anyway so I don't and Can't use Hotmail.
[HD7 General] Bibble:
@tboy2000

Hey, yes you can remove the hotmail contacts...

Go into "settings", "email & accounts" then select your hotmail account. from here you should have a "content to syncronsise" section. just remove the contacts from the list.
[HD7 General] s1nn0n:
That cant be done if that account is being used as your primary live id though.
[HD7 General] poopilot:
Indeed - it's not possible. The solutions are to merge hotmail accounts to normal sim accounts, if they match, or to delete your hotmail contacts completely.

Not ideal, but it's how it is.
[Android Software Development] jakobdroid:
Is it possible to put interactive buttons in the notification drawer, similar to how espresso puts recent apps in there?
[Android Software Development] envoykrawkwarrior7:
run the espresso rom on your phone? or miui or touchwiz? it has to be made with it sadly we cant just put them in there
[Android Software Development] Burko:
Maybe 2.3 adds this... most of the screenshots blank out the notification bar.
[Android Software Development] jakobdroid:
I do not like miui, espresso or touchwiz. Is the default notification bar something that can be replaced? Like how you can replace the default dialer, browser, etc...
[Android Software Development] ConstantineXVI:
It can't be replaced without anything short of a custom ROM. CM has power controls in the shade as of 6.1, but the shade itself can't be replaced.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] B1AcK kN1GhT:
Hey Everyone,

Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??

The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...

Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)

I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...

Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.

Thank you all for your input.

Chad
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] goothu99:

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
