[Q] Technical question on Private Photo Vault - General Questions and Answers

what's going on guys, i would like to apologize if this was already discussed in previous threads, though i tried to search around to see if there has been threads that have discussed this already. does anyone here that have experience as an app developer that uses Private Photo Vault, confirm that the developers of the app cannot access/view your photos at all? (though i do see that in their description, they say they cannot, but can anyone confirm that)

Publishing applications question (promo text etc)

I published an app last night but I'm wondering what some of these extra fields are used for. I've tried searching and found little information.
When publishing, where and what specifically are the PROMO TEXT, PROMO IMAGE, and FEATURE IMAGE used for?
Please can this thread be moved to Software Development as someone there will more likely know the answer. With less than 10 posts I'm not authorised to create threads there

Gmail users: Make Google fix the contact picture quality issue

Hello folks,
since all other threads concerning this topic are either outdated or are about trying to fix this problem by themselves I've decided to open a new one.
The problem mentioned above should be well known to almost any android user who uses Gmail to manage and sync their contacts.
Because Google ignored earlier requests I'm trying to spread this one single request as far as possible. If enough Gmail users read and star this thread Google has to react in any way.

Link to direct suggestion of features for Gmail<-- German, but don't hesitate to like the feature suggestion there too!
If you are registered in another major forum please share the link so we reach as many frustrated users as possible.
Regards,

Voted.
In fact i've added my support to many threads like this on the Google Forums over the last year, as have hundreds of other users. I find it utterly baffling how after all this time, Google still haven't addressed this issue.
If Google were to increase the contact picture size even by merely 10 pixels, they would need massive amount of additional server space.
I'm not saying it's not doable, just not as simple as we'd like to think.

Actually I thought of that point too, but I made a quick calculation.
I am able to get a decent picture quality (JPEG,256x256px,8bit,quality 65) at under 15kb per picture.
Now imagine you are having 1000 contacts, it would be around 15MB of data just for the pictures. And now take into consideration that any Gmail user already has over 7,6GB(!) of free storage. Would anybody miss 15 or even 50MB?
But all this has already been written in the request thread

We need to put some pressure on Google to fix the Low resolution contact images that are synced with using GMail.
Please +1 the following post: https://plus.google.com/109941711245...ts/PwRx3SHNbjR and try to get #AndroidLowResContactPics trending.

For info, the problem is now solved. Google fixed it.
I just updated my pictures contacts via the website (I guess it also work directly on the phone), and pics are now in correct resolutions!

[Q] Search Issue?

All day today I have had an issue with Searches. I keep getting told it is temp unavailable.
Yet, when I go to Samsung S3 forums and click the links (such as General or Q&A sections they work just fine - my understanding of how forums work is those links are just Pre-set Searches.
I've changed nothing on my PC in weeks, but nobody else seems to be complaining about a problem and I noticed it this morning and it is now 6:30PM.
Is there an issue or is it me in some way?

Your understanding is incorrect. When you click a link, that takes you to a pre-defined place within the forum - as you can see from the forumdisplay.php?f= info.
The search feature goes up and down like a whore's drawers. Not really a problem - you can just use Google to carry out a site specific search if you need something. That's what I do most of the time anyway as I find it to be more accurate (not just for XDA, for for most web forums out there)
I have the same problem on my tapatalk so dont know if it is connected- i keep getting temporary unavailable for sewrch and for my previous oosts where im participating? What is up with that?
Simon i really dont understand ur answer to this question?

The search feature often goes down - that is just life. When it does it affects other features as well, such as the "Participated threads" and "User's posts".
It affects the web-site, TapaTalk and XDA App at the same time and usually comes back up after a day or so - no big deal.
You can use Google if you need to search the XDA forums. Simply put "site:forum.xda-developers.com" before the text you want to search for and it will search XDA only.
Thanks for the explanation Simon. My thinking was that, when you click on (say) S3 Q&A link, the Search had to run to find and sort the threads into presentation order. To be able to take one to that forum without running a Search would seem to me to require every forum to be in its own database - that would seem remarkably inefficient in terms of server use. I just presumed all posts would be in a single DB (or maybe one for each sub-forum choice at top level, and indexed for efficiency.
Maybe I should set up a forum so I can learn how they work...
At any rate, it is working again now...

Different forum software works differently, but most of them keep the forum number in the database in the post's record, so a SELECT on that forum number returns a recordset of all posts in that forum. (The LIMIT clause limits the dataset to the posts you see - the first 10, 26-50, whatever.)
An efficient database can search a recordset of a few million records, with the database equivalent of a Search (a WHERE clause), in a second. The efficiency is determined by the code (which is usually pretty good these days) and the database (and MySQL, the one most commonly used on the web, is pretty efficient).
Search, OTOH, has additional code to "front end" the database with whatever random search criteria you set, so it's actually less efficient.

[Completed] Check MMS for stagefright?

Wondering if someone could help me out. Been having many SMS issues, switched to ChompSMS, received a video that was blocked with a stage fright message covering it - didn't play it . Still continued to have SMS issue, so I switched to Textra, the video is still there, only this time it's showing as a standard video preview, with the play button on it.
Is there anyway to check for stage fright prior to playing the MMS? See pics.

Post your best GCAM pictures here!!

Hi all,
I've been searching and searching on Google, Reddit, and Youtube for some good sample photos, and it is difficult to find relevant information so I thought I'd start this thread to keep all GCAM related photos in one place. Please try to keep chit chat to a minimum, since the purpose of this thread is to look at "END RESULTS" (pictures), of different phones with GCAM installed. Please do NOT post pics if they are not from GCAM.
Please state the following information:
1) Phone Name:
2) Gcam Version:
3) Edits: (e.g. Snapshot, Lightroom etc... optional info.)

-edit- Meh, I guess I missed "best" and posted "crappy samples" instead... sry.
