Hello ! I've bought my Polaris one week ago. I was very pleased with it, until today, i took some photos last night, and when i tried to view them from my pc, they were all corrupted, i haven't succeeded to open the pictures with anything. I searched the forums, and some posts (on other sites) came out. Somehow, after rebooting the device and taking more pictures with the camera, i managed to obtain pictures that were readable on the PC.
Can anyone help me figure this out ?
Another question..i've bought this phone from Vodafone Romania , i understand that if i upgrade the phone's ROM or Radio Rom, my warranty will be lost. Is there a way to back-up the phone's Rom so i can benefit of the warranty in case of malfunction?
I would gladly want to upgrade to a newer ROM and Radio Rom.
I have present now the following versions :
R = 1.58.21.23
G = 25.65.30.04 h
D = 1.25.00.00
Thanks in advance.

Ok man, thanks for the reply, the post where you redirected me talks about dumping the rom.
I've mentioned about some corrupted photos...can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance
Well, I've got the exact same photo problem during the first 2 weeks of my time with my TC.
I had to reset the device before I could take proper pics.
I was monitoring this problem, trying to find out what was causing the problem. Before I knew it, the problem disappeared. Having the device for abt 4 months now..
I know I aint helping much, but just letting U that youre not alone.

Same issue here. Thought it was due to all the additional software & tweakage i have loaded. I had to hard reset to get the camera pics to work. Did this to me 3 times when I had Ultimate Launcher loaded & few "enhancement"tweaks. Very strange. Back up your phone OFTEN.
Are u using Tweaks2k2?
I got the same problem when I enabled "Increase SD/MMC Transfer Speed".
If disabled, everything is OK.
Wish u good luck~~

Actually yes, and yes. How you figure the connection with Tweaks2k2 and the SD speed? good job!

Ha-ha, really happy that it works on your Polaris.
Actually, some photos took on my wedding party were corrupted. It is really depressing.
So I just tried all the possible settings on Polaris.
Luckily, I found it…
same problem here. Lost some value photos on the TC.
If you can't view them on th device (blank screen) they are corrupted.
Looks as a temp problem for the device, as when you approve the photo just taken (ie, by selecting the magnifying glass icon), it's there for good, if not - it shows as if the picture is there (thumbs) but not really.
Sounds (to me) like the device is not handling the temporary picture taken right, and instead of burning it in (=approved), it is left in a temp location (to be erased by following pics).
As I had the problem with email (messaging disappeared), where I discovered in this forum it had to do with inbox/attachments folder path failure in the SD card, I may suspect the photo problem is the same, as most of us use the SD for such storage.
So I decided to sync my pictures to my google + account using the new google photos app and I have a few questions regarding this:
1. Does everyone get to see photos that are in my circle, or are the pictures back up there just for my viewing?
2. Is it secure?
3. I was really just hoping to try this out and have some pictures of my x mas tree "auto awesomed". So far nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do to force it?
I guess I am just looking for more information about the whole G+ photo syncing. I didn't like the idea at first, but I do have a lot of android devices and it would be cool to always have access of all of my pictures versus just the ones on the device. Any information / tips would be greatly appreciated.
I was hoping to have some pictures of my Christmas tree turn into a GIF like the one in this link

1. The images are only for you unless you share them
2. It is secure as Google+ photos
3. What kind of auto awesome photos are you trying to get? The snow/tree sparkle ones need you to upload the proper photo. I have noticed that it can take 5-10 minutes for them to appear

Thanks for the reply. I posted a pic of my xmas tree with the lights on and was hoping to get the auto awesome sparkle effect. Guess Google doesn't like my tree
It just seems like it might take awhile for Google to detect my photos and have auto awesome work its magic. I backed up 300+ photos and not one set of similar photos has been recognized.
It's probably safe but I don't like the idea of uploading my camera to a social network, even if they are hidden from the public. So I use dropbox camera upload.
Hello there -
My wife uses the 8X and has been having some issues lately. When she is using Internet Explorer, she often looks at pictures.
When we zoom in on a picture it, of course, doesn't fit in the screen. That's fine and normal.
But, we we try to scroll over to the other side of the photo, no go. It's not possible for some reason.
I've tried a different web browser on the phone but had the same issue.
Help me, help her. Thanks.

haven't had any issues with mine, have you run all the available updates?
Hi, I've read the manual and can't figure out how to put a pic with my contacts. My old Droid X and others was easy, menu>edit>photo. I've long pressed everything I could. When I get to "take photo or from gallery" it says "unable to save photo edits". I didn't even try to edit but touched on photo and got that message. Little circle spinning on pic, like trying to load. I hope it's not the phone, I've got less than 10 days to return it.
Any help for this phone will greatly be appreciated!

How are you storing your contacts? For me im using Google to back up my contacts and when i go to Contact list I choose a contact click on them and choose edit and i am able to add a photo.
Two threads for the same problem?
