[Windows Phone 7 General] Thresher:
This scenario is pretty funny to me as Windows Live Photo Gallery also tries to rotate the pictures, lol.

Anyone who can explain to me how or why, even if I am missing something basic like Settings, let me know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
As of right now, there is no option to turn off auto-rotation.

My understanding is that the phone will rotate the photo accordingly based on how you hold it the phone (as it should). I've had my photo rotated the wrong way a couple times, and I realized that it was because I was holding the phone a bit diagonally and not really either horizontally or vertically. I now try to make sure that I hold it definitively either horizontally or vertically, that's really the only way to do it until an option becomes available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Bingo. I haven't had any issues with this, but I imagine if I were trying to get creative in how I held the camera, it would then become an issue. Either way, the photos I take either go to my computer or facebook, both of which it only requires a single button click to fix the rotation, if it were to ever be a problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nycdemons:
I understand what you're going through because the same thing happened to me when I tried to take pictures to study for my exam. I also have a focus and was holding it the same way as you with the shutter buton on top. I finally realized that if you had anti-shake turned on for some reason, it will change the orientation of the picture by itself. If you turn on anti-shake turned on, try turning it off. It worked for me.

I haven't found anything yet to satisfy this requirement so I'm asking for re-inforcement here. My requirements are:

1) Install a client on my kids PC that will be password protected so that it can't be uninstalled and which will allow the following:

2) Allow administration tool both on PC and Android device to remotely view the state of the PC (ON/OFF) and what it currently does (specific website visited, application being used, etc.) as well as to remotely shutdown and view screenshot.

3) I want this to be accessible not only from LAN (like netsupport) but also from Internet via 3G.

So far, I haven't found anything to satisfy this requirement. If anyone knows of any tool to do this well, it's more that welcome to recommend.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] exyljr:
Why not just setup a keylogger and have the logs sent directly to your phone's email, granted it won't give you the access you want but everything will be visible.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
Thanks.

I don'r need that kind of control. I only need to know if the PC is ON and be able to swtch it OFF remotely when I want and just know what my son is doing at that time. i.e. playing games, watching youtube videos, etc.

I have used similar tools but none of them can provide all the requirements in one tool.

I have used OpenDNS and Norton Family online to control his hours and allowed sites to visit but I can't do the rest. I believe there must be an application like that because what I ask is simple and there are more complex tools available already.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] dnlilas:
So TeamViewer is what you need.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] frozenblade:
alternatively you could stop playing stalin to your kids :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
nope, teamviewer is a remote desktop control application. Nothing similar to what I am looking for.

I'm looking something like netsupport but simpler.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
+1 had the same thought reading this thread.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
How old are you? do you have kids? I bet not otherwise you wouldn't think like that. When you do have kids you'll want to control the time they spent on the computer as well as the sites they visit and it's not a metter of playing Stalin or the diictator. It's a matter of manipulating their habbits and discipline.

However, that's another story and everyone can have their opinion so let's not discuss this here because it will be a non-ending story of social nature and other people here are not interested.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
Sorry i didnt mean any offence, im sure your a great parent, it just comes across a tad OTT. (not that thats a bad thing) anyway back on topic, i think you may need a small laptop or netbook to fullfill your requirements, as i havent see an android application that can do what you want :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] vettorazzo:
Hi andreasy. I have an 3 years old little girl and I know that one day I'll need a kind of control of this. I'm planning to have a small linux proxy on my home net to block sites by hour/user/blacklist etc... but, I'm a Net. Admin and it's a simple job (to me).

Maybe you are searching on wrong places. Or you want a not yet developed software.

I'll do a little research to see if i can find anything abou this.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
Don't worry my friend. I didn't take it as offense in the first place. Everybody can express their opinion and we just discuss here. Thanks.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] andreasy:
Well I am a systems engineer as well and I was also thinking the gateway thing, but then I decided that I don't want an extra device in my home for this. Anyway, I solved the parental (inapropriate content) issue with OpenDNS and Norton family (Try them, they are free) and I was also considering Child Control which I evaluated in the past and it's quite cheap to buy. Now my only issue is that my son abuses the time policy and finds ways to bypass Norton Family rules.

Anyway, I guess the truth is your second point. "not yet developed software."

Thanks anyway.

I'll live with some scripts I wrote then which I'll have to make better.

[A7 Themes and Apps] nodozen:
I am new to Android & would really like to us my A7 to access both online hosted Streaming Video (movies & TV shows) as well as host my DVDs on my internal network.

I had hoped to use Netflix but research on the web indicates that isn't a go on Android without newer, possibly embedded hardward based, DRM solutions. I did see a post about Amazon and RockPlayer but not really much else to go on.

Can people reply and indicate what are the best Streaming Video sites (& client being used to access those sites) for the A7? If you need to use one for movies & one for TV shows please list multiple...

Can people also reply with more insight on how they are hosting & consuming their own DVD collections? Specifically I would like to know:

What did they use to rip their DVDs?

Where do they host them (off a PC? a NAS?, etc)?

What client do they use on the Android A7 to access them?

What protocol (NFS?,CIFS?,SFTP?,etc) does the A7 use to access their DVDs?

For reference I have multiple options available to me at home inclucing RedHat Enterprise Linux & a few other flavors, Win 7, Win XP, and a central NAS device.

[A7 Themes and Apps] nthknd:
Playon seems to work well for me and it will let you stream Netflix and other sites kinda expensive 5amonth or 80 for a lifetime.
[A7 Themes and Apps] nodozen:
When I get back from Spring Break I want to try Playon. I don't like the idea of another subscription but it seems really flexible. It might also allow me to watch Hulu through my bluray player (which stopped supporting it) so that is a big plus... Being able to centralize all of that to a central computer and shoot it to my TV, laptop, and Android A7 would be great.
[A7 Themes and Apps] cbotd:
The Netflix.apk is available as beta for Android. I installed on my A7 and can manage my account, queue and search. When I launch a live stream of instant movies it says can not connect to Netflix servers please try again.
[A7 Themes and Apps] nodozen:
My research is that they won't allow netflix to natively run on Android without some Digital Rights Management (DRM) capabilities (currently too open) built into. Some Android device makers may be releasing some newer models that allow for this and the native netflix should work for them but maybe never for us if it is a hardware based implementation...

That being said, the Netflix over playon seems to be working OK for me as I went ahead and set it up before traveling for Spring Break... Both Netfilx & hulu worked fine on my home LAN and was working OK on my hotel WIFI for a few hours but isn't for some reason right now.

I need to replace my home router so that I can take the current router with me as it turns my 3g/4g USB device into a personal portable WiFi (kinda like a geeky MIFI). Currently that router uses both my DSL & USB cellular data card together at home and I didn't have time to do that before I left and if I took it with me my home would have been down and I wouldn't be able to serve playon from home while traveling...

[Droid 2 Global General] Irish Loop:
I wasn't able to find a similar thread to what I was asking.

I recently installed Fission 2.4.3 on my D2G, works great, really happy with it. Noticed it's still running Android 2.2.

Is it possible to upgrade the actual Android OS that Fission runs on? Or does the Fission ROM actually come packaged with whatever version of Android they have tested/stabilized with? I wasn't sure if they were tightly coupled or if I was expected to upgrade myself or whathaveyou.

Thanks. :)
[Droid 2 Global General] JorgeNava:
Fission 2.4.3 is based on android 2.2, as that is the latest OS out for our phones. until 2.3 is released by motorola, we are all stuck on 2.2 for the time being. also i wouldnt hold my breath for 2.3 on D2G any time soon.

and to answer your last question, no. Fission IS the 2.2 ROM, so when 2.3 is released, another fission rom will be req to flash

Can somebody tell me how can I unlock an original, unrooted (T-mobile) X8 to be able to use a SIM cards from an other service providier?

Thank you!
[XPERIA X8 General] Tobi@s:
Go to an Service Center which has SEToolBox 3 or credits for x10unlock.com Or you buy credits there.

Setool cant unlock xperia now. Only provider code or x10unlock.com
[XPERIA X8 General] killerjohn:
LOL I thought the solution will be a simple program, or something like HSPL, or a custom bootloader :( I've a fully h*cked HD2, with gingerbread, so I thought that if I can change entire operating systems then unlocking will be very easy :)

So if I flash a custom ROM then it will not unlock the phone?

@X10Unlock they give only 10 credits with 1 account... and I have 1 phone...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FrequencyModder:
Yeah one click lag fix from market does work. Note in market its labelled v2 but the app contains v1 too. Initially it didn't work, then I increased free space in the Phone, selected 812MB as the ext partition size and it worked. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sudhi_be:
installed oneclisklagfix v1+ on my I9003

Finally, I had installed lagfixv V1+ on my I9003.

I found below information from galaxyroot website to resolve the problem in applying the lagfix V1+

Known issues in 2.0.0

Some devices with heavy carrier customization cannot install EXT2 Tools. Fix should be in the next version, if possible.

On Froyo (Android 2.2) this lag fix will refuse to install if the apps2sd feature is in use. The error you will see if Apps2SD is in use on installation will be that the loopback cannot be mounted.

Workaround: In order to install the lagfix on froyo, you will need to set each app that is on the external SD back to regular. Once the lagfix is installed, you can move apps back to the SD.

Fix should be included in the next version, if possible.

If you use up more space inside the EXT2 than is available outside the EXT2, you will have to remove apps/delete data until you have enough space to copy your data back when you want to uninstall. To help avoid this, don’t set the space bar all the way on the far right.

Can you please let me know whether by meaning free space in the phone you mean phone memory or internal card ? there is 2gb of phone memory and 2gb of built in internal card memory on the phone. Currently I have 1.51 of internal phone memory and 1.35 gb of internal sd card memory free and the one click lagfix v1 is not being installed. I have root access. I also have a 8gb external sd with 6.28GB space free. Also please let me know of any improvement after the lagfix

Hey, does anyone know how to undo lagfix v1. the options in oclf says unavailable and that no playlogos file is installed, so should i go ahead and install that first or will tht mess up the phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tajender:
@nemesis0902

Same thing with my i9003. Uninstall lagfix v1 was unavailable and it said that playlogos1 is not available. When I tried to install playlogos1 and then rebooted the phone, it removed the Samsung boot animation and tone completely. So no use of doing that. I figured that the only way to get out of the situation was to re-flash. I flashed i9003XXKB3 firmware and that is the only way to get rid of it. More so the phone worked fine for about two full days after the OCLF v1 lagfix. but it again came back to the same state afterwards. OCLF does improve the quadrant score, but no visible improvement in my case. Same thing happened on one of my friend's i9003. So I guess best bet would be to wait for Gingerbread or updated OCLF or Voodoo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nemesis0902:
So flashing after doing lagfix dint go wrong. That's good to know. Was a bit worried. Thanks

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcasper26:
So I got an error message a while back on my phone telling me that my SD card was damaged. It would not dock or anything with my phone, so I put it in an SD card reader, and plugged it into my PC that way. I then had to re-format it seeing as how I could not get it to do ANYTHING when plugged into the phone. Even when in clockwork recovery, it would not let me do anything with the SD card. However, after formatting the card through my PC, my phone no longer opens anything on my PC once plugging it in. It will charge, but nothing else. It makes it a bit annoying, as every time I want to load something onto the card, I have to take the battery cover off, take the card out, put it into a card reader, etc etc etc..... Yes the phone is rooted, running RoyalGinger 1.3 ROM. Any help would be great. Thank you!

[Surround Windows Phone 7 Development] beeboent:
Hey,

I'm working on customizing a rom for the HTC Surround with the NoDo update. I'm using pieces from the HD7 ROM that was leaked. Not sure if it will work though.

I'm having trouble flashing it to a device.

I was adding it into os.nb using htcrie.exe replace /I imgfs.bin os.nb

But then I came across other documentation saying to put it into os.nb.payload. As yet, I haven't been able to successfully put it into that file. Here is the command line I was using: ImgfsToNb imgfs.new.bin OS.nb.payload OS-new.nb.payload

I think my problem is that I am using the wrong payload-chunk-size and extra-chunk-size when I use NBSplit. I'm not sure how to find that from the ROM.

Any suggestions?

I can upload my modified imgfs if anyone wants to use it.

As I said before, I'm not entirely sure whether I'm on the right track. As this is the first time I've ever tried to cook a ROM, So I'm still learning. ;)

Regards,

Gabriel

I had the same problem. Backup works with clockwork 3.0.0.5, but not with 3.0.1.0. Run rommanager and choose book color (old) when choosing the recovery to flash.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Try going into rom manager and reflashing the clockwork recovery, but this time select the opposite of whatever you selected before. For me, I have Rom Manager 3.0.1.3 on an autonootered 1.1, but the first time, I select "Nook Color". I went back and reflashed and this time selected "Nook Color (old)" and that did the trick.

Found one answer here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook-color-technical/10099-backup-error-think-im-worrying-nothing.html. Sounds like the solution is just try opposite of what you did the first time. I noticed the flash was to clockwork 3.0.1.0 until I did "old", and then it was 3.0.0.5.

Unfortunately, after doing that, it will only boot into clockworkmod recovery now...sigh

KEY POINT!! REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM AFTER THE CMW FLASH!!!

If you don't you end up in a boot loop, like me!!

If you end up in the boot loop, go get the CWR-removal.zip file (I got mine from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914690 and use it to remove the recovery flash.

I don't know if you can do it from that boot by dropping the file on the sd card and installing it (I'm assuming so), but I had a spare bootable CMR I used, just to be safe.

Then go back in, reflash the recovery in rom manager AND REBOOT!!!
[Nook Color General] faceman66:
If you were on B&N 1.1.0 and then did autonooter 3.0 to root your NC, you absolutely MUST do a complete power off/on between the steps -Flash Recovery and -Boot into Recovery.

If you do not, you will get stuck in a boot loop. In which as stated above you will need to use a bootable SD, flash the 'remove cwr', and then install again.

And for the 'can't mount /system' issue while trying to do a backup - it's likely because you are on a non-ext4 rom (ie CM7) and you picked the 'Nook Color' device when you flashed recovery per the install instructions. Funny thing is, it won't work. Go back into ROM Manager and flash recovery again but select 'Nook Color (old)' and then power off, power back on, reboot into recovery and you will be able to complete a nand backup.

Be sure to document your situation and post it to the Official CWR 3010 thread in the Dev sub-forum and maybe we can get an answer or a fix from the devs.
