Good morning. I have a HTC One on 4.3 stock. After the 4.3 update I have noticed the following which I believe is a Bug.
If:
a) open gallery then
b) press share
c) choose the app to share (Whatsup/gmail/exchange mail)
d) Choose the photo(s) you want to share
then you expect the app you choose to share the photos with to open, but nothing happens. The gallery turns off as if the app (whatsup/gmeil etc) will start but then the phone returns to the gallery. The photos you have chosen to share are still there, the system returns to above point a).
Same Bug when:
a) open gmail/exchange email
b) open new email
c) press attach a picture
d) gallery opens
e) choose a picture
f) nothing happens.
the gallery will bring up a "please wait" and then it will return to its normal state (main gallery). Whats up working fine if you try to send a photo by using the app itself. Tango is same problem as gmail/echange email.
Anyone any idea?
Sorry. 4.4 no issue.

Hi, i stumbled upon this problem the second time, using different roms.
When I get an email (imap from gmail) It downloads the attachments, but when I click them to open, it displays the dialog "Cannot open the attachment"
When I long click them, and do save as...save them to a location and open them from there, it works just fine.
But its bothering me, since I often just want to take a quick look at a picture...
Thanks, great forum btw
Okay, perhaps a consolidated thread of verified problems and potential workarounds might be good for the forum.
I'll list what I know here and try and keep it updated. I don't intend on this thread to become a duplicated discussion thread so I'll link to other discussion threads from this one if they exist.
If you're posting a problem in this thread, please also post how you've verified the problem and on what software versions! Please don't use this thread to post "how do I" or "it keeps rebooting" because that doesn't help anyone.

Problems/Bugs:
Can't connect to WiFi-G access point with a long and complex password Android v2.2.2, Cisco Linksys WRT-400N. Password examples:
(Don'tHitMeHardOnTheHead!At0934) - does not work
ferrari99 - does work
I would appreciate independent verification of this.
Music control returns to notification shade after being disabled and after a reboot.
Doesn't happen all of the time, may be related to using ADB
Box in music app remains unchecked and must be checked and unchecked again to make controls disappear again.
Home screen displays momentarily before lock screen.
Multiple reports
No apparent impact but it shouldn't happen.
Happens with WidgetLocker too.
External SD does not mount every time.
Can't be seen, can't be remounted
I think it only happens after a "reboot" not a Power Off/Power On cycle
Only known workaround is full Power Off/On
Not sure if it's widespread so independent verification would be good.
Multiple exchange accounts disabled in LGemail app.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986385
Workaround is to use Android Exchange client (see here)
Camera brightness not listening to "auto" brightness, but uses the manual settings.
Independant verification would be good.
Workaround is to use manual brightness setting.
Stock Lockscreen showing all messages, unread or otherwise
Only happens if you use an alternative Messaging app (HandCent, Chomp etc)
Displays total number of messages in stock app
Fix is to remove/lock messaging and mms apps in /system/app/ (see here and here)
This has consequences (nothing major) so read up about it first.
Can anybody verify behaviour with stock messaging app?
Stock Weather app is not location aware and is slow to update
Seems to be no workaround
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992732
I also get a reading of -18C every time I change from WiFi to cell... ?
Phone goes totally unresponsive (locked up)
See discussion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12186328
Possibly only whilst charging?
Battery pull seems only fix.
Feel free to post your reports, tips or workarounds!
Nice idea for a thread, should be sticked ;p
Lockscreen showing unread messages, even when all are read, when using third party messaging apps like handcent.
No workaround yet afaik.

Good work on this thread, keep it up.

Great thread. I hope these listed oddities can be patched up by LG. Is there any way owners can submit bug reports to manufacturers? If any 2x follower can recall, in Engadget's review in ref. to the Gallery app crash (search "Gallery" in the article) that appears to be fixed in the retail units as no user here has listed that as a reoccurring problem.
Or... I suppose we simply have to root this beast.

Custom roms may help but if this thread becomes meaningful it will eventually rank high enough to be noticed. I know of other examples here on XDA that manufacturers and carriers have monitored.

Just tried a simple PDF and an office 2003 doc, works fine here.
Another Tipp I found over at MoDaCos O2X forum:
Press and hold HOME for a second, while holding HOME press POWER button once, screen will flash and you got yourself a screen capture which will be stored on your Internal SD Card

Weird... my phone says unsupported file. Must try again. Thanks
about the messages on the lockscreen:
it shows unread msgs in stock msg-app. Open stock app and read your msgs, you'll see.
setting Notification off in stock app makes no difference, i tried that right away.
My "fix" was to use goto lockscreen instead.
I suppose one could just freeze the msg-app with titanium, but i haven't tried that myself.
Hope this helps somebody.

Removed Mms.apk and MessageWidget.apk, uninstalled lockbot, and bingo! No more notifications on the lockscreen.

Yep, it's already on post 1...
Another usefull tip might be disabling/uninstalling the carkit app. Experienced a big battery drain myself and read about others with the same issue. As it appears it uses the sensors for 100% of the time.
I just got my Optimus 2X from Three ( 3 ) in Sweden. It has two pixels wich are constantly blue and says that it is an incomatible handheld with my sim card. Yay...
Hi,
I just want to share my app with community - the app is called SpyCam and it's pretty simple - you can use it for taking pictures using the main camera in predefined interval. The pictures are then saved into Saved pictures folder in Pictures Hub. But what is so unique on this app - it works under lockscreen - that's right, you start the photo shooting, press the on/off button to turn off the screen, plant is somewhere and let it take photos secretly
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
I tried to put it on Marketplace, but it failed two times because "it appears that this application promotes spying". According to the certification guy it's not allowed in certain countries to have such app. Strangely there is lot of similar apps in MP for recording sound under lockscreen, so I don't know where is the problem.
I had big plans with this app, because the idea of taking pictures under lockscreen is quite tempting, but with the fail during cert process I don't have strength to develop it further. (Skyrim is more important right now I got even somewhere my technology demo based on SpyCam for storing taken pictures on SkyDrive, so it basically works as a live webcam - you can watch what's going on in front of the phone on Internet, but it's not stable enough for general release.
Feel free to use it under condition you wont try to publish similar app on marketplace Let me know, how it works. Note although it's not 100% stable, it should just work most of the time. I'm using there a bit of thread magic to handle all that PhotoCamera callbacks and async calls for taking photos and storing them, so nothing is guaranteed
And one more thing, you just need Mango and regular dev unlock. Interop unlock is not necessary Tested on HTC HD7
Don't hesitate to share it using Twitter or other media
my address: twitter.com/martinsuchan
Edit: uploaded two screenshots
Also my second try in MP used different name for the app: 'myCam', but they rejected it with the same message
Edit: This app does NOT work on WP8 as I have just discovered, it even causes freeze or random reboot!
Good work Sir!
Shame the Marketplace Police have no sense of humour
N3croman
cool app , thanks man. upload in marketplace
Works exactly as you said . I am getting a video done will post it here. Reviewed it on WPXBOX. com However I dont get to understand how to make it work under lock screen. I tried pressing the camera button when locked but nothing happened.
Check out the video here.
Under lockscreen
You need to check the "run under lockscreen" option in settings and then restart the app (press Back button in the main screen and start is again).
Then start the shooting (optionally wait for the first pic to be sure), and then press the on/off button. Now it should take photos in selected time interval.
Note the app must be in foreground when locking using the on/off button to take pictures under lockscreen, it can't work in background.
If you have selected 5s interval wait about 20s and then press On/Off button again, unlock the screen and if everything worked as expected there should be new 3 or 4 pictures
this app is great and cool and has a big potantial
well done (graphics, functionalities...)
ty
but can i wish a request, could you add a feature to enable flash/led on photos? (i know that this make the app less spyfull... but i'd like to keep pics during nighttime, i.e. of my pets while sleeping or to see what i did while dreaming ^^)
fyi
tried on omnia7 interopped latest fw
Thanks. Yes it took me time to realize on this. But loving your app here.
You might think of integrating it with Dropbox or a cloud service to give option to someone to upload it right there. Just an idea

I realize some countries may not allow it, but couldn't you just submit to certain countries?
Rename the app to "Time Lapse Capture" and change the description to be as such. Problem solved
Very good thank you
Awesome app with great potential
As suggested in a previous post I would resubmit as a time-lapse photography app, that's what I have downloaded it for, I will test it while climbing mountains and then relive my route after. What's the chances of of getting a 5 min interval option. Great work don't give up on getting it on the MP pls
Hi,
Your app sounds like a good idea. Will try it.
Don't give up, good luck with the re-submit!
Great app!
Have great protential too bad MS isn't into great apps :-(
Nice app, thanx

Hey guys,
This is an app I've been working on and wanted to share it with you guys. Development has been slow, but it's going to start picking up and wanted to get some constructive feedback from you guys. It's a simple app that locks the picture on top of you lock screen so you can show it to friends, family, etc. and they can't scroll through your other pictures. If they try to go into your phone, they will be locked out. It's a paid app (only $1), but if you really don't like it the play store offers a refund within a time limit. If you're really interested in reviewing it and giving me feedback but don't or can't pay, send me a pm and I can make you a beta tester. Thanks! Link to the play store is below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edragone.lockpicture
Description:
This picture lock application allows you to show only the photo you choose to other people. There is no need to hide your photos in hidden folders in advance. You simply go to your gallery, select the photo you want to show others, click on the share button and select picture lock. Whoever is looking at your selected picture is locked out of your other pictures and your device.

Yes it will.
I have set the AI button to open the camera after 2 clicks, which it does, also of course when the phone is locked.
In this state when you make a picture, you get the result with a No/Yes selection under the picture once you took it.
Whatever you select there however, the picture is not saved on the device and just disappears
Is this yet another bug or am i missing something ?
Same
Same here! I don't get it.. the phone seems pretty buggy
Yep it is... Try to bind camera app on for example double click Vol- then it works
