Has anyone else seen the new Google Camera? I got an update this second and we finally have a focusmode!
You did beat this thread by a minute, but it seems to be progressing, so let's let that one roll on.

One of the few ways we can effectively fight back against HTC is with the bad press/publicity the whole driver fiasco is creating for them.
It is pretty funny when you sometimes read a blog post / article about some new product of theirs and the first 10 comments underneath the posting/article are negative for HTC and in some way refer to the lack of drivers on the current devices.
I thought we might be able to create even more negative publicity (especially since they did not stick to their word to offer a fix by the end of March).
For that purpose I would like to start this thread.
Please do not post ANYTHING but links to HTC related articles/blog posts/reviews where people can leave their comments.
If you want to discuss this threat, the driver issue or anything else, please start a new thread or post it in some other, already existing threat.
This thread is for links to HTC related articles/blog posts/reviews ONLY!
Thank you.

Both - it's a threat to HTC

March is Drawing To A Close, HTC Where Are you?
http://tiltsite.com/2008/03/march-is-drawing-to-a-close-htc-where-are-you/
went through with my 2c, will look in later for more links...
I love my TyTN II, but if i want this phone to last me for over a year I'm gonna want to do more with it, including video intensive applications... I'm already sad over the whole 3 mega pixel camera that takes 5 seconds to shoot a photo... and takes 10 seconds to START recording video..
I bought my Tilt mainly for fun, but I find the 3mp camera to be a heavily used feature now at my job (handy since I don't need a separate camera).. but the video lag for preview's is horrible!
I've posted on every link with bad comments about HTC.
This is a great idea. With enough people doing this we could flood sites with bad talk about HTC.
They just won PC Mag's editor's choice with the Tilt. It'd take a lot of bad press to counteract that.
i've also posted several negative articles on them, see for example the one i've posted yesterday in the General forum.
They are just starting marketing the new HTC Touch
http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/22/htc-reveals-us-marketing-push/
I don't know if this is kosher or not, so if it's not please let me know promptly.
I use the app "TimeTracker" all the time. Every single day at work. That thing keeps me from getting overtime (and therefore a write-up).
Only a couple of problems with it. Currently it only has the ability to set the week start date on Sunday or Monday. Mine starts Saturday. I know others have posted on the comments for it requesting other start days too.
Second problem is that if you are working past midnight, it keeps those hours on the previous day (i.e. you start work at 11pm on the 2nd and work until 7am on the 3rd. It says you worked 8 hours on the 2nd). This doesn't jive with the way my company keeps track of our time. We are auto clocked out at midnight and then clocked back in. Therefore all hours of a day belong to that physical day.
Unfortunately it appears the developer has abandoned this application. No updates since March and it doesn't look like we'll be hearing anything at all from him in the mean time.
Is it kosher to ask someone else to update this app? It's a free app if that has any thing to do with it. Or create one from the ground up that has this same basic premise?
I so greatly wish for certain features to be updated in this, that I would be more than willing to provide a donation to whomever is able to update this app (or create one from scratch that performs the same basic function).
I have a feeling that it's probably not kosher, but I'm not an expert on this and I really need those updates.
This might be a better received thread if it was posted in the applications forum.

I tired it there with no results, so I deleted that thread and moved it here.
I'll take a look at the app later in the week and see if there is anything I can do to the source. It also appears that the dev is still keeping track of issues according to his google code page
http://code.google.com/p/android-timetracker/
Not sure if he "abandoned" it so much as just hasn't been able to push out an update as of late. Most dev have "real" jobs that they must tend to and develop in their "spare" time.
I've already posted this on the Coreplayer Board at http://forum.corecodec.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3465 but in case they delete it I wanted other people to know about it. Also, the problem I am describing? In the Smartphone version on my Sprint Snap I cannot access my Favorites from within Coreplayer. I changed my name in the Channels listing to "qwerty017" and all of a sudden its saying there are no videos found in the favorites for Youtube. When I change it to anyone else like "kurio" Coreplayer pulls up all of the favorites for them. A simple problem. Or so I thought.
-------------------------
I know you gave me a warning before when I did this but honestly at this point I don't care. I paid for a piece of software expecting to get support when I had problems. With my warning PM you stated you would have support look into my problem and nothing was done until I posted another forum thread 15 days later. When someone from support finally took a look at it he decided to ask me the exact same questions that I had already sent in with the previous tickets. I could be fine with that except for one thing. Even after I answered hit redundant questions I never received anything back. No emails. No replies. Nothing. This is now day 11 since someone finally got back to me and day 28 since I opened the ticket in the first place.
Actually, this entire series of tickets goes all the way back to November 17th which means I have been waiting for support for a problem for over 2 and a half months. Or to be more precise, 82 days.
I have sent in 4 tickets in 82 days. 1 Medium, 1 High, and 2 Urgent, just hoping that someone might be able to actually fix my problem. And nothing.
Medium:
Received a reply almost immediately asking what version of Coreplayer I was using. I responded to the email and never heard back on this ticket until I was sent an email saying it was being closed do to no updates in 24 hours. So I opened another ticket for the exact same problem.
High:
Received an email asking me to uninstall and then reinstall Coreplayer. I responded when I had done that and stated the problem was still there. Received no reply until I received an email stating the ticket was being closed do to it receiving no updates in 24 hours. So I opened a new ticket for the exact same problem.
1st Urgent:
This one is funny. If it didn't show just how bad your Support truly is. I never received any reply. None. I kept it open for 6 days by asking for updates until I received yet another email stating the ticket was being closed do to no ticket updates. Understand that this was open for 6 days and nobody asked me a single question or sent a single email. At this point I was frustrated and made a Forum thread explaining what had happened and asking if Support even existed for this product. It was promptly removed and Betaboy sent a warning PM telling me that he would have support look into my tickets. I never received another word back from Support or Betaboy so I made a new ticket on January 9th. FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!
2nd Urgent:
I never received anything back from Support until January 25th, 16 days after I had sent it in. And the only reason I received anything from them at that point was because I made yet another forum thread asking Betaboy to look into my ticket. At that point I received one email from support asking me to send them in exactly what was wrong. As I said above I didn't mind as long as someone at least pretended to be trying to help me. I sent him in exactly what the problem was as well as the fact that I was running the latest version of Coreplayer and that I had both tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I had even Hard Reset my device hoping that would fix the problem. After that point I received NOTHING back from Support. It has now been 12 days and I am done with trying to get a reply back from your non-existent Support system.
So yeah. I'm pretty sure I'm about to be banned for not following the rules or something but like I said at the beginning, I DO NOT CARE. I am fed up with your support system and I want others to know just how bad it truly is. I moved onto Coreplayer and bought both the Smartphone and Touchcreen versions when I changed phones for the single reason that I had never had any problems before and I figured that if I did have one at some point it would be fixed. What a fool I was.
Well. It only took 82 days, 3 forum threads, and 4 tickets but at least they finally confirmed it's a bug. Yay? Oh yeah, and it looks like I was banned. lol
Why did they ban you?
i acciddentally brought a wrong version, and it took them a week to sort it out.. after about 8 or so messages and much swearing!

Probably because I broke the forum rules.
werent we suppose to hear news on an updated coreplayer at MWC?
Apparently they've committed to a co-launch with Duke Nuken Forever. I've been waiting for the 'fantastic new version that will solve all of my problems' since I bought it for my Touch HD.
My Touch HD2 is still waiting.
I suspect my Touch HD3 will still be waiting.
They just don't know how to release the damn thing. Adding new features is fun. Releasing is scary. I'm a developer and I manage developers; I know how it goes.
If Kinoma Play had a better UI no-one would care about CorePlayer anymore. I'm pretty much there anyway. In fact I think I'll go see if Kinoma has a new version
I forgot about Kinoma. I'll have to try it out.
I know what you mean about waiting. I've pretty much given up on them ever releasing 2.0.
So I have flashed Th3ory's new SCR3AM add on pack and I have to say that I am loving it. Everything seems to be working as designed but for some reason I don't have the new wallpapers that he mentioned in his thread. Is there anyone else who is experiencing this same problem? Its really no big deal but he held a contest for best wallpaper and said they would be included in SCR3AM when flashed and I was hoping to see what they looked like. If anyone has them would you mind posting them? Preshate it.
MODERATOR MESSAGE
PLEASE POST ROM RELATED QUESTIONS IN ROM THREADS. OPENING NEW THREAD LIKE THIS WILL BE DEEMED AS SPAM (Next Time)
Cheers!

With the devices that are getting the software update for the camera, are the camera improvements in the actual camera app, or are they system level? Would it be possible for someone who updated to the new OTA to simply post their camera apk and everyone else replace the one on their device with the new one to get the updated camera?

system level. goes beyond just the apk. Verizon users like myself are stuck playing the waiting game.
No offense, but can't you search? This question has been asked, basically, every day since the first update rolled out on t mobile.
But to answer your question, it is NOT a simple change to the apk, it is on the system level and perhaps even on the kernel, as the new update updates kernel as well.
Don't view me as an asshole, it's just silly how many times this same question has been asked and answered in this forum over the last several days.

I did search, but Im not going to dig through pages and pages of threads, **** gets lost around here rather quickly. If there was another thread with this being discussed, just link the thread. Or if you are going to be an asshole, dont say anything. Especially if the post right above you gives me the answer I was looking for.
Took me 3 minutes to find these and there are several more.
Don't get all defensive and don't use laziness as an excuse... This forum is indeed meant for questions and answers, but article 1 of the forum rules instructs their users to search.
I know there is a lot to sift through, but by just taking a little time to keep yourself informed goes a long way. Case in point; All these people posting about their devices bootlooping, after the update. Who didn't bother to stay informed and didn't know that the current root method alters recovery and causing bootloops. They ended up wasting their time, probably lost data etc... When all they needed to do was read up a little bit. I'm not even rooted, nor do I care to with this phone, yet I still knew.
This forum, even in its infancy, is packed full of great information... But it gets buried under thread after thread of repeated questions. Anyone who decides that it's not worth their time to search and simply asks, only make this issue worse and increases the difficulty for other to find the valuable information that this forum houses...
But hey, that's just me, I'm just an asshole who prefers to follow the rules and consciously regard my fellow users before clutter the forum with useless repeated posts... Damn, I sure am a bad guy.
