Guys,
Since about a week I've been searching for an application for my Touch HD which silently captures a picture with the front VGA camera and sends it to an email adres, without making it noticable.
I've been searching through the XDA forums and the allmighty Google, but the only thing I came across was an Iphone version.
A program like that would be great for anti-theft of a phone, since it can send gps-locations, a picture and other information to an email using the wireless internet connection.
First of all, does anyone know a program such as I described?
Second: if none of these programs exists for WM6+, ain't this a great idea for the greatly appreciated softwaredevelopers?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards:
Ali

Hi guys,
I've seen the thread from Midget but I have to say I don't feel like going through the 200 posts to see if everyone is happy.
Could someone do a small list of is working and what is not?
I've seen people getting problem with Office files, backlight sensor, wifi, freezing screens ....
Well my question is should I flash my Exec?
Thanks
Alternatively, you could read those 200 posts and learn for yourself.
There are 3 versions of the same base image, each thread has people's posts relating to it.
Don't be so lazy.
Almost
Ok I'll make it short !
I'm just gonna use the calendar, contacts, tasks, office mobile, explorer, live messenger and Skype on the wifi.
As anyone had any problems trying to use those features ?????
I only have internet at work for the next few weeks and i don't really have time to go for all the posts.
Thank for your help.
All of those will work.
And really, if it takes you more than a little while to read that one thread.......
I recommend you read it, it will save you asking the same things other have asked.
The programs auto close when running in the background
this is a useful feature
but annoying if you need to use 2 apps at the same time
Core player does not open Video files

For me, not until the Video Call is working.
Keep your ROM in safe backup, the ROMs are removed on the request of you know by who.
The only one left is the one on the Rapidshare.
I have the same opinion. I wont install a WM6 ROM until the videocall issue is solved!

Video call is not working on both Infidel and Midget's ROM over 3G networks??
Hello,
i've flashed my german T-Mobile MDA with an Windows Mobile 6 O2 Image.
When i go to the sms inbox the left softkey is set on the "delete"-function.
Before flashing to windows mobile 6 there was the "new"-function attached. This is IMHO much more useful against delete which you can also do in the context-menu quick and easy.
How can i get it back? Is there any registry hack ore something i didn't found yet?
Thanks for help.
Agree with you....very strange this function...
noticed this too - wired, 2 extra button presses... i suppose they need to warrant the new version some way!
Well I prefer it
I much prefer having the delete in the left softkey... brilliant improvement, especially if using for email... quick look at the message in the list and delete it... much beter than having the new button there.
It your only reply who prefer it to be like this.
I have searched the whole world for this thread & saw nobody saying "I prefer".
I don't know who the hell MS* researched for this preference.

Did you ask though?
Because I prefer it too, but I don't feel the need to announce all my preferences to the world as routine.
Well except;
I love Jaffa Cakes
Maybe anybody solved this "problem"?
Perhaps I'm being a numpty, but I can't get the camera to save pictures!
I start the camera, zoom, focus and press the button. The viewfinder freezes for a second and then the toolbar appears at the bottom, giving me all options except saving the picture. A quick view in the My Picture folders doesn't yield a picture. If they are saved where are they and if not saved, then what is going on?
WM6 with B&B v4.0 on O2 XDA Orbit
Thanks in advance.

The camera in B&B4 is pretty much screwed beyond use. Tom is too busy making money from the sycophants by writing the next ROM to do anything to fix this one, which has a list of problems as long as the contributors to his Pay-Pal account. If you want touch-Flo though it is about the best your going to get.
The flo thingy is ok, but not enough to get pants all knotted about. The camera would be useful to make best use of the picture contacts facility. I never used the camera much anyway as it wasn't that good. I suppose I can take piccies on a proper camera and pop them onto the card.....no huge loss really.

hello,
i have also a orbit and i can save my fotos on the storage card. There is a new folder called DCIM. The fotos and videos will be storaged there.
I have the same problem if i want to save a contact foto. this function doesn`t work.
But you can shot a normal foto and select this in pocketcm as contact foto.

i would like to say something on this matter.
Tom has been busy trying to answer all the Questions thrown to him. you are complaining your **se off but i bet you have BB installed, give the guy a break and show some respect to the people who are trying to create a community here.
and next time think about your comments.

no sry, he is right.
its not like the camera bugs are minor things. these are major bugs, which are really annoying.
and yet, in the B&B 4 Thread, tom never replied to a post where something with the camera was mentioned. (correct me if i'm mistaken, but i read all 100 pages).
And now hes doing a new rom, so i don't see a fix for B&B 4 coming :-/

I did install B&B4, I don't have it on now. And I did think about my comments. As for complaining my ass off, no, I don't think so. There is more I could complain about, much more, like the transcriber being missing, but won't because it is no longer a concern of mine.
I have respect for Tom for what he does but his latest ROM was rushed out, not fully tested, among shouts from people that they would donate if he got a Touch-Flo version out, other Touch-Flo ROMs were appearing, but were full of other stuff not everyone wanted and with minor operating problems like the 'X' close button not working etc. So people screamed for Tom's next ROM, and out it came. Complete with all the bugs reported so far.
If Tom chooses not to fix the bugs then that is fine by me, I can't use his ROMs if features of my device that I want to use don't work right. But Tom needs to be careful, up until recently all his efforts were for the community you want to build, but money can skew people without them realising it is happening. Perhaps if he sorted the bugs out then started looking for donations again....
no problems here...
@ Fucawi: Did you set your camera to save your pictures on your card? Then look in \Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA.
@ MaskedMarauder: For some people not being able to save the pic as a contact pic isn't the end of the world. Thusfar the B&B rom has been working fine with a few minor bugs. Personally I think your comment about Tom going for the money and not solving your problem is pretty cheap.
-Hans
This bug isn't reported entirely correctly, the camera does save pictures but only at the highest resolution. If you try and reduce the res then it doesn't save them. To be fair though if you really want a camera on your phone get a sony ericsson as HTC cameras are rubbish! Perhaps the fact that Tom is working on a new ROM suggests that he is going to implement all the fixes found for v4.0 in the new one therefore creating a fixed ROM... just a thought.

That is why there is a 1000+ post thread and half the posts are from people with problems......

Right, of them is about 75% who refuse to read the first 1000+ posts, so they ask the same questions others have asked and resolved before, the other ones are in my opinion mostly pretty minor or feature requests.

Equally a lot of the posts are people who haven't search for an answer or don't know how to flash a rom to their device.
I'll admit that tom's rom isn't faultless but compared to the dire GPRS issues in the Dopod rom and the general lack of anything exciting in the O2 rom it is still the best out there - unless of course you want your camera to work
The whole thing with the camera is a shame as the new camera looked nice with a clean interface, it is just a pity it does not work on anything but the basic setting.
And for the record the reason I gave up on B&B 4 was that I was having to continually hard-reset my device at least every other day. I did not go on about it, I just will wait the next version, put it on and see if it works.
I agree with MaskedMarauder
bb4 is full of minor faults.
and i just saw that Tom isn't going to repair all those faults.
that's why i go back to version v3.0
the last one that worked like it should have to.
And Tom never reply's when people ask him about the camera problems or other problems.
It's a pity.
Not having the contacts picture facility is not the end of the world and I have made do with the normal camera and save piccies to contacts. There were other niggles on the v4.0 ROM that made me try the v3.7 and the O2 WM6 ROM and I think that the BB v3.7 was the best of the bunch. They all suffered from an inability to turn off the WiFi from the top toolbar and v4.0 needed to have a soft reset to get the GPRS sync started in the morning. So I will reinstall v3.7 and run it for a few days.
I liked the clock face and the contacts, weather and other HTC toys, but could do with a blue colour rather than black (does this only require a .rar file?) and a reliable GPRS sync connection (no issues on WM5 O2 settings).
Keep up the good work.

yes, i totally agree, it's not fine to read such a big thread...
and some of the issues have nothing to do with the main post.
that's what i don't like. There are a lot of people who don't know that there is a "search"-function

It also has to do with people not knowing how the search function works too and getting so many hits across all the forums that they give up with it.
Obviously my google-fu is no good, so I have come here in the hopes of some information!
Firstly, I received an MMS which had a 3gp vid clip - I can't play it. The device doesn't even seem to recognise it.
Secondly, Is there a list of commands anywhere that I can use to setup AEButton Plus? Things such as going straight into a new SMS or MMS.
Any help much appreciated. Thankyou.
*pout*
hehe
Does this overwhelming lack of response mean that no-one can help me? or that my question was so badly worded you couldn't understand it? or that you just don't care?
Can someone at least pls tell me how to play 3gp?
The commands I want are around, I just haven't found them yet - I know there are some in a thread on this site, but it was months ago when I saw that and can't remember where.
First of all, let me just say that I love this forum. I learned so much from it and I do appreciate the hard work that everyone does on it and contributions that are made on it.
I am lodging a formal complaint about the forum itself. I know XDA has an Android app of the forum in all it's glory, and it is a great app (could use some improvements, but that's another story) and I do use it constantly.
However, I also have Opera Mini and I have XDA on my speed dial to quickly go to my beloved G1 forum. This morning, I went to XDA through Opera after getting an error code ls2 on the XDA app, and what do I get???? A pop-up nagware box that says that you have a native app.
While that is fine for the first time I go to XDA, it is NOT fine anymore when the box pops up every time I go to a thread. EVERY TIME! If I click OK, I can proceed to the thread I want to read... If I click cancel... oops... Opera freezes and I don't get to go on.
Guys... I like both OK and I have my reasons to keep using the browser and not the app to access these forums. Can you just nag me once or not at all, please?
Thanks.
I've moved the thread to the correct sub-forum, our tech admins don't frequent off topic too often .
I'll ask someone to have a look at this for you.

Sorry about this. It was only supposed to tell you ONCE that there is an app available, not multiple times. We turned off this function for now until we fix it, so you shouldn't see the pop up.
Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate all the hard work.

Sounds like the issue is with Opera, not XDA. Since it works just fine with the stock browser, and even firefox with UAString changed.
Opera may not have the correct cookie information being sent or received.
