Hello Everyone,
Does anybody know of any camcorder type app that will allow a user to record holding the phone vertically instead of horizontally?
Thanks!!
hmm
thats not a real good idea since when the vid is played back on anything, such as a computer or tv, the expected video format is supposed to be in widescreen/landscape. so i dont think there would be anything for what ure looking for
Ummm, why not just hold the phone vertically instead of horizontally?
And if you need to, you can use software on your PC to flip it so it plays that way.

I just got the sprint version of the HTC DIAMOND Sunday, and this is my first WM device. Warranty is still good as well.
My problems:
1)
When trying to take photos or videos, the zoom constantly moves in and out regardless of me not pressing a thing (For example, when i open the camera, the zoom constantly moves from 1.0-2.0x all on its on). I don't know if it suppose to do this or not, but i don't think so. The same thing goes for viewing pics and Opera as well, it zooms back and forth without me touching a thing.
2)
Sometimes it seems as if the "end" button or buttons on the right of the center button,doesn't respond well. I try to hold it down to lock my phone, but it takes several tries in order to this. Maybe its just me
3)
Iv'e read that the center button susppose to act like a scrolling mechanism, but i dont think mine does. Has this feature been disabled or something?
Its a nice phone, but i think mine has a couple of bugs. The zoom problem really annoys me, because i cant take pictures with the camera zooming in and out constantly. Please help..
When using opera Or the camera rotate your finger around the center button(stay on the outside of where it raises)
With the end button try to press it on the far bottom right(as far from the center as possible.
I think the center as a scrolling thing has to be enabled

Make sure when you are in the album or camera, your palm isn't covering the scrolling "ring" around the centre button, as this could be causing the zooming problem. If all else fails, hard reset.
Also, for the buttons to the right, make sure you are almost at or close to the edge of the diamond. if you are close to the center button, it may be acting as a "right click" (as the area to the right of the center "scrolling ring" is a "right" button).

thanks for the info, but when i say it zooms without me touching it, i meant that literally. For example, right now im looking at a pic in my phone. The phone is literally just laying on its back while I'm typing this message. Its constantly zooming in and out of the pic in real rapid movements. Could it be the screen protector that came with the phone? (But then again, it only happens when I load the camera/camcorder,search the web, or view pics) I have it on, but i didn't think that would be the cause. Anyone else encounter this problem? Maybe I should just do a hard reset, or maybe return it. IDK
Sorry to hear...
I have the screen protector on that came with the device, and mine is working fine. Try a hard reset, let me know if it works

Is it possible to minimize camera soft on xperia, and continue to record?
Or is it possible to at least turn off display while recording is in progress? (power button which according to manual should turn off display, turns off recording too).
Maybe there is some 3rd party soft that allows you to do this?
TIA Marek.
another "spycam"?
Something like that.
But also thing to use, when you want to record something really long. My card is enough large to fit almost 10h video there. When screen is on, battery would be dead in less then half of this time, and phone may get pretty warm when back-light is on for such a long time.
Has anyone got problems with their camera not working?
I press the camera button and nothing happens, if I am in the camera app and press it, it focuses but then does nothing. No picture is taken. It is the same with this and video recorder.
I should point out that the button is not broken, it depresses, and the camera application reacts by beeping, but a photo is never taken (or a video for that matter)
I have an O2 Uk HD7. I'll call HTC soon, but thought Id start a thread to see if others have a similar prob.
LOL. Im an idiot.
The button is a 2 stage button, 1 for focus' and then harder for the actual photo.
BAH!
I take no shame in admitting I did the same thing
Oh good, im glad im not the only one We can blame the button being a bit too hard!
I did the same thing! And I'm aphotographer. The button is a bit hard and you have to press it all the way down for it to take ths pic. plus the button is on an angleed surface, you have to press it at an angle for it to work right.
It also wont work if the proximity sensor is activated, like when it's in your pocket
lol I did the same thing. For the life of me I could not figure out how to take a picture. But I eventually figured it out. Btw, when your phone is off just hold the camera button for a few seconds and the camera will come up. Pretty neat feature.
I had this issue too. The camera button is quite flush with the device. I've missed a couple of shots because of this. Not a big deal. Just have to get used to it. I'm just glad to have a dedicated camera button.
Yet another idiot calling!!!
Thanks guys, I had the same problem lastnight. So that's one hitch sorted..... Now for the ringtones!!!
Yeah. I'm no idiot (most of the time) and I have to say, it took me a few snaps to get it down and it's still a little difficult. Bottom line is the button doesn't make it real easy at all. In fact, it's a primary contributor to a few crappy shots I've taken.
same stupd user i was. finaly i got it - but the result in sharpness is big bad difference in relation to hd2.
I tried to take a quick pic of my parking place in a parking garage today, I'm a left-handed and I keep my phone in my left pant pocket, I was being rushed by my friends and tried to take a pic of the sign but I was blocking the proximity sensor. I realized this at the last moment and managed to snag a blurry shot as the elevator doors opened. I'll need some more time with this phone to get used to that.
But at least I don't have any pictures of the inside of my pockets.
I was on the phone with TMobile setting up a warranty exchange for my busted camera when I discovered this thread. Camera not busted luckily. Strange setup. Work around I noticed was holding the button softly then pressing power.

Well the camera is actually of not a very good quality. Some pictures are truly sharp but for that many things like light, angles and luck have to come together. And ofcourse the button adds to the miserable pics.
My 15month old daughter absoluelty loves watching videos on my droid but always fast forwards, stops or exits the program entirely. It would be nice to beable to long press the camera button and have it disable the touchscreen input. Any such thing exist? After googling I've seen many others with same problem/request.
Hello,
I am using latest Darky's Rom. on my i9000
My question is :
How can i turn off my phone screen while playing movie on Tv-out?
When i connect to tv, movie playing on both Tv screen and on my phone screen. I would like to turn off the phone screen while keep playing on the tv screen to save phone battery.
Thanks.
If the screen power button doesnt work (you can turn off your screen with it)
Try to download some app, I've seen it somewhere. Also check your phone settings
But the problem is when i turn off my phone screen with power button, on the TV also turning off...
bump bump and a bump
I use ScreenFilter to dim the display to almost complete darkness.
Incidentally, when you use TV-Out - do you get a crisp clear image on the TV?
When I do it, the picture is like.. flashing a black color, like you'd expect to see on an old CRT-screen, you know? Also the colors melt into eachother.. Although this was a 40" HD TV, and the movie I wanted to play was is pretty low resolution.
I'll try with a Blu-Ray rip some day.
turn the phone over so you cant see the screen,, then charge it up if your battery drains works like magic
