[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] frosticemaiden:
So the images are called/stored from the SD card of the device?

In our app we use an overlay(surfave view) over the camera preview. And in that overlay, we generate the elements(gems) of our game.

Our problem is the scrolling of the whole area. Like for example, how could the player view the 100 x 100 grid with the 5 x 5 viewable area of the screen.

Here is the picture of our actual testing. The gems are still static because we can't implement yet the scrolling mechanism.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] avdaga:
Yes, but this is standard functionality of the android gallery - I merely added functionality to use the accelerometer

I assume you are using OpenGL for this? I am not an expert on this, however I know you need to do some Camera translations for zooming/displacing your viewpoint. Once you are able to do this, for example in a while loop where it moves constantly left and right, you can start doing fancy stuff with the accelerometer.

This might be of some help: http://www.falloutsoftware.com/tutorials/gl/gl0.htm
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] frosticemaiden:
I'm not quite sure if we're using the OpenGL already, maybe a 2D version perhaps? But we're just displaying .png gems on the surface view.

Does it mean that we really need to use the accelerometer aside from the camera sensor itself just to implement the scrolling mechanic? What other sensor/s do we need to use?

And btw, do you know if there's a solution to the 90 degrees orientation of the camera preview? I have already set it to portrait, but it seems that there is a bug in the Gingerbread version of Android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] avdaga:
Probably not OpenGL then

Ehm no of course not, but then I do not really understand how you found this topic :P

Did not encounter the issue, as I used the original android gallery...

Can't find any other threads on this, but when I attempt to sync my (stock 2.2 ROM) Android with HTC Sync 3.0.5481, I'm getting, "Can not sync contacts from PIM" messages.

Anyone any ideas? It's worked flawlessly for weeks/months.

Unable to copy contacts from PIM

I was having this problem just now on an XP SP3 machine with HTC Sync V3.0.5511. (actually, I've been having the problem for a month or so now!). Froyo 2.2 ROM (Official HTC/Telstra release) on the phone. It was working at first for a few weeks then stopped working for contacts and appointments. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HTC software & drivers a couple of times without joy, and checked and rechecked Outlook 2010 settings and folder locations too (rebooting between each attempt).

What fixed it just now was: on the PC, clicking Start, then "Set Program Access and Defaults", selecting "Custom" then selecting "Outlook" in the "Choose a default email program" section. Restarted HTC Sync and plugged the phone in (with Outlook 2010 not running) and the error message is now gone. Checked my phone calendar for the appointments I'd added in Outlook today and confirmed they had synced to the phone correctly.

I hope this helps someone else. :) YMMV

Happened to have this issue too (I'm running a HD2 SD Desire HD build though). Searched and this thread came up. I also happen to be running Outlook 2007 & HTC Sync 3.0.5511 as well. Restarted Outlook 2007 & all is good again! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsmac:
Unable to copy contacts from PIM

Thanks guys - after months of trying & talking to HTC (who were clueless as to how to help) I've finally got it sorted.

I'm running Win 7, Office 2007 with Sync V 3.0.551.

What fixed it for me was dweebken's advice: Manually set Outlook as the default email program. In Win 7 this means:

Click Start

Click Default Programs

Click "Set program access and computer defaults"

Click the Custom button & hit the arrows to expand the selection

Select Outlook as the default email program

Hit OK.

To be safe I rebooted after this, but I'm not sure if this will be absolutely required, and it's run fine since. :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin1061:
Glad I found this thread. I'm having the same problem, but with the calendar. Worked fine for a month or so, then today, couldn't read the PIM. None of the solutions seem to work for me, though. Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2007, HTC Merge Android 2.2, build 2.01.573.3.

Any other suggestions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dweebken:
Yes. I had more probs later on that no fiddling would solve, so I called HTC support. They went through all the things I'd already tried, then suggested a 'soft' reset of the phone. To them this meant shutting down the phone and removing the battery from the back. Leave it out of the phone for 10 mins at least (I left it for 30 for good measure!) Reboot the PC too. Then reinserted the battery and started the phone. Once everything settled down on the home screen I tried resynching again and got joy again.

As usual, YMMV

Try going into Internet Explorer. Tools | Options | Programs.

Set the "E-mail" to "Microsoft Office Outlook".

This worked for me. (XP SP3, Office 2003 SP3, HTC Sync 3.0.5579, HTC Sensation).

Not all items are appearing, but we run Novell GroupWise behind Outlook (something that isn't the cleanest).

In my case when I was on stock ROM the HTCsync just stopped working w/o any reasons with the same message. I could not get it sorted out, and finally I moved to MyPhoneExplorer as a backup tool. Be careful however and do not restore google contacts from tool since it messed up my phone database so badly that I started to have FC (due to NPEs on sqlite level) and had to factory reset... in fact I just jumped into custom ROMs world because of it.

Unfortunately with Windows 7 and outlook 2010 there is an issue where it will not let you set outlook as default. It says it will then when you go back in it is back to the default settings.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dyonas:
I've been wondering for a while now why nobody has come up with a better method to copy and paste in Android. I've seen devs do amazing things with Android in general and some other devs make fantastic apps but I haven't seen anything worth looking at in the way of a good, solid and workable "copy / paste" solution.

I know that Gingerbread brings improved copy and paste but even that seems inconsistent and fiddly. The HTC Desire HD has a pretty good implementation of it but that's limited to the Sense UI. All this leaves me to ask the question I have already in the subject line. Is it really difficult to improve copy and paste? I dislike the iPhone for a lot of reasons but one thing I think they've done well is copy and paste. It still has issues but it's far above what Android has to offer right now. Even the improved version in Gingerbread is just for text selection. Is anyone up to the task?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dyonas:
Well I'm glad that I managed to get such a big response to this issue >_> Seriously though, nobody can improve on what we have? We have kernels that blow the stock ones out of the water, replacement launchers that make people weep in joy, mods like CyanogenMod that make everything run super smooth but nobody has ever touched copy and paste functionality.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meaple:
Because it works. Yes it could be there for improvement but it's something that already works and is decent enough. You make it sound like that it needs such a vast improvement. Android is for phones, not desktops. I see no problem in using copy and paste because it works fine. Devs have other issues to be getting on with like making stable roms, kernels, so on.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dyonas:
The same could be said about a whole heap of stuff like the default launcher, the default widgets, kernel etc. They all work but have been vastly improved by the dev community. I'm just wondering if there's a better reason than nobody has bothered yet. You might think it's decent enough, frankly I think it's a pretty weak point in Android.

There are lots of legacy devices that won't see 2.3, some won't see 2.2 and others that won't even see 2.1 but are still very capable phones. I can live with how it works in 2.3 and when HTC use it to improve their 2.2 copy and paste it'll be even better but as I said not everyone will have that ability. I honestly think that anyone who came up with a better solution for older phones could make a fair amount on the market. If I had the programming skills to attempt it myself I would.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meaple:
I guess Google made decisions to sort of "cut back" on their dev like widgets and launcher because they wanted a nice dev community. And guess what, they've got one. Go ask a developer directly. I don't think that they would of seen this post. Personally, I think that Android is such an awesome OS to use and I can't really say anything bad about it. To be honest, all the stuff that Google does is free and is a great service.

Turn off your phone, and hold the "volume down" button and power until you get to the fastboot screen. You will see your HBOOT verison up at the top.

Be sure you have the file name proper in the proper case. The most common mistake is not having your SD Card formatted to FAT32
