Nope that's not true. . There's no easy way i know of to get a decent sized image.
No matter what you do the image won't get out of the small stupid looking circle.
How on the earth could one design such a bad UI.
Anyone who has successfully fixed it using a mod etc ?

When they call you it goes half screen. . That's a great thing. Mine doesn't do that and I'm on A8 by the way.
Could i request you to post a screenshot of the incoming call with a contact picture please ? I'd be very thankful to you.

Beautiful !! Thanks but a question. . You're showing Square buttons , is it because of a mod or something , a theme ?
Have they always been square ?
Thanks

Wallpaper question.

I have this cool pic that is sized at 480 x 800 which is the exact size of the phone, however, when I go to the gallery, it only lets me crop a small box part of the picture. How can I choose the entire picture so it won't look pixelated?
You need to use wallpapers that are 960x800 so that the homescreens can scroll back and forth.

Oh, i forgot about the scrolling since I disabled it.
Touch the orange box and expand it. Took me a while to realize that too.

I wonder if you are talking about Andropan...I downloaded it last night and tried it out today and did not like it at all :-(

Yeah, I also tried andropan once, man, it was UGLY.
Sent from my CDMA Hero, sucka!
yep.. thats the name of it.. i remember seeing some BS samsung or LG phone that came with this feature stock and it looked good, so its hard to believe that someone hasn't made a good working panoramic picture taking device...
Hi,
I'm the developper of Andropan.
Can you tell me what is UGLY in my application?
So I can make it better and better
Which device do you use?
Thanks for your help
The Epic's camera app has panorama built in. Im on the Evo myself but my family uses the hero. Glad I lurked on this thread, hopefully the Epic's camera app can be ported over sometime
try vignette. is the best camera.

1.Starting the application into a black screen is a bit - distasteful and not user friendly. Add the buttons that you have when pressing menu here.
2. The Plumb and Level indicators are a bit hard to get right, you should probably think about over laying a set of arrows to tell the user how they need to move to get level and plumb.
3. Typical camera uses the trackball to snap the picture instead of menu or a screen tap (at least on our heros) This would make it more fluid.
4. Not sure how you are storing/retrieving GEO information, but its wrong...at least for me it is
5. Just in my office - it seemed like one picture would have a different light saturation than another frame in the picture.
6. Your stitching of the pictures seems like it has a VERY low error tolerance, and you might try looking at other ways of matching and stitching pieces together so they are seamless.
7. After you have one panorama, instead of showing it at the beginning, have a gallery button, this way they can come into a screen of buttons and actually navigate with out having to use hard keys.
The above was meant to be constructive - please don't take offense, I think you have a good starting point with the app. If you need help with any of it let me know, I have a pretty decent Java/Android background, just no time to make my own apps.

I didn't understand the difference between the two different options for creating a panoramic pic (I don't remember what they were called, manage and auto I think)
I also didn't understand the point of levels
Also it would be nice when the stitching occurs if the app looked for overlap and then removed the overlapping parts of the pic.
Another suggestion would be that when you take a pic that is part of the panoramic shot that you leave it on screen and then overlay the camera view over it so you can better line up and tell where the next shot should be.

Tilting SCreen

Is there any way to disable that annoyng tilting effect og the sense 3??? I don't know why but most of the time I turn on the phone the screen is rotated left or right.
yeah settings then display then auto rotate, turn that off

Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....
Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!
any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.
from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

Small problem with Note 10.1 homescreen

My home screen has a black band running across the top off it. Its like the picture slipped down an inch. Only homescreen though, every other screen is fine. Same happens no matter what picture I have on it. Any ideas? I can't post a pic of it yet cause I'm a noob
Edit: Stock wallpapers don't do it, they go full screen. Only my downloaded pics and photos have the black band

Do the pixels always have this grey color, or does the color change, depending on the background?

Then these pixels are very likely to be dead.They have this color even on the HTC-Bootscreen, right?
If yes, then there is nothing, you could do.

Hey all, i've waited the end of summer to take my htc to the shop where i've bought, but surprisingly the dead pixel disappeared
Sincerely i don't understand why my cellphone are alive and can repair itself :laugh: Lucy me!
Problem solved
I accidentally dropped my Sensation XE, got some small black lines in my screen. Then they grow large. So i played high defination games and make my screen hot, then the black line extended more. After it I cooled my phone under AC or in freezer. After 2 month they all are gone.
So happy about it. May be you guys try it if you have same problem.
