Hello is anyone else experiencing low res pictures of their contacts when they call? I'm not sure why this is happening but everytime someone calls me who has a facebook their facebook picture shows up but is very blurry and low res. Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks
Same problem here & no idea how to fix it, ugh.

This is an issue with Google not the phone. This is an issue that goes back to every Android phone since day one. It has something to do with when you sync your contacts and Google downgrading the initial picture. There is a fix but it's pretty time consuming. Google it, you'll see it's not just his phone.

Thanks for your reply, the work around is very time consuming I think I'll just suck it up for now.
It has to do with the size that google saves those contact pics at. I have no idea why they decided to shrink them down to such a small size. All of the fixes I have seen in the past are only temporary and simply require too much work. When you flash another rom, you lose the changes you made and are stuck again with those small pics.

When I attach a picture that I took in portrait mode to an SMS it gets turned sideways. In other words, pictures always get attached in landscape mode. Is there any way to change that?

I don't like this either.
The fix is to crop photo, after taking your shot, then delete the original to alleviate any confusion, and after that lengthy process, you can now post to MMS, or Facebook, correctly. I would hope to see an easier fix, but this works for now.

ya what the heck? I just noticed this. I don't recall ever having this problem on my N1... did I just never upload images???
Rotate doesn't even help! One of the nicest things about android is the easy of sharing photos to multiple places QUICKLY from the regular OS apps and this completely defeats the purpose. It's not just SMS it's sending to Facebook and other sharing as well.
HAVE to CROP the picture to get it to upload properly?
Don't recall ever having to do that either... /mad

its an issue with all SGS phones
Only way I've fixed it is to actually crop the picture in the gallery. Then they stand up straight.

The autofocus on the sensation is not working for close items you want to photograph.
An example:

Anyone other experiencing this?
Did you use the close up mode?? Mine focuses just fine..

I've had the opposite problem (tried to take a video of some paragliders), close ups are really sharp though. The automatic settings are a little bit unpredictable, might need to set the mode next time.

That makes it even worse. I called HTC and they suspected a firmware issue.
Im running 1.28.401.1
Yeah, I've had some issues with autofocus with close-ups, with the camera set to macro mode. When you tap on the object to focus it will go through its range of focal lengths and miss the subject. The only remedy to this is to move the phone further away. So it seems that the phone's lens/es are more capable of macro shots than the focussing system currently allows.
I called HTC and they said it might be software related and will probably fix this in next update. Let's hope so!
Having the same issue. It manages to focus fine but locks focus at the wrong moment. Glad to hear they'll fix this.
I definately not. Close up works better for me the autofocus does take a little patience but is worth it after its taken. It blows the g2x cam out of the water that's for sure!!

dude get a can of compressed air & clean out your PC. it'll thank you for the cleaning
I've got a similar problem, it appeared like 2 weeks ago, I cannot focus up close objects I've tried everything, it's as if the focus is stuck on something and never changes no matter what I do. I have changed the mode (close up or macro) different light and so on .. but I can never get a focus It doesn't even attempt to focus. It used to work before when I played around with the setting if I would switch on/off some of the things the camera would magically "wake up" and start focusing, any Idea ?
It's one of the things that HTC broke in the 2.3.4 update. Macro mode worked great before that (i used to use it for bulk barcode scanning, but that is impossible now).

my sound stops working after i record a video and i cant playback the video....try taking a video and see if u have a problem playing it back
No problems with video for me
Wtf. The honeymoon looks like it could be about to end on this should-be-amazing handset.
Voice mail should be automatically cleared like every other phone out there ... Just like your text message once you view it that's all ... All these little problem are a little annoying ... I'll continue to play with it... Don't get me wrong I love this phone ... Again just a little annoyed. And thanks for the tip.

Are you using a Class 2 microSD, by chance?
Yes I am

I had an issue last week like this, actually. I was outside and every time I went to take a picture the phone just went black, and I had to do a full power-up. I noticed that when I shut the flash off, it worked fine. But then later, with the flash on, it took pictures okay.
So not sure what the problem was as it was not consistent but yet, I have had this issue.
thats odd i never had that happen , using class 2 16gb from HD2.
I had this issue on my phone all I did to fix it tapping the restore defulte setting on the camera app
Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.
Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty
is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.
Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?
