I know, I know, if i want good photos, use a real camera. BUT, if I'm gonna have a phone with a camera and flash, I'd at least like the F'n thing to be usable. Taking pics with the flash is mostly worthless. 8 times out of 10 the LED flash washes out the subject (see attached). Is there an app/hack/kernel that allows us to adjust this?

So far am not having any issue with the flash/Cam. have you disable the flash and then try again?
BTW: Unable to view your link, got this error: Invalid Attachment specified.
Only a hack solution so far...use scotch tape to diffuse the light. I agree that the flash should be controllable. I am learning as fast as I can...camera and mms are two that do not seem to get lots of interest...so someone new will have to learn and dig into them.

Hello again!!
I've instaled the voice2go software. and as I've learned about macro wanted to try it out.
But after pressing record macro I am going to the today and.. the screen goes wild :/ it is sth like that screen would change resolution - I can see normally, but if I want to press the button I need to tap sth like 1cm or more below and a little beside of it.. o_0 so I am unable to record macro correcty..
the only way to finish macro is to reboot the phone - it is useless when macro recording is on :/
did anyone of U had problem like that?
thx in advance for any help
Best regards,
mayyhem84
Same over here, very annoying as I really liked this feature of Voice2go the most. Otherwise the programm is working perfect, but on my x1 tapping accuracy is below zero in macro setting.
Did anyone find a solution for this? It would be awesome to control your entire phone (more or less) by making these Macro settings manually.
Cheers,
Arnold
I've just installed this on the HD2 and I must say it's really a nice app......BUT!
Using the macro's on this app sends to phone calibration crazy & also you are meant to be able to have caller id once a name has been assigned to a contact, but phone still rings normally with saying the persons name whois calling. But I'm still reluctant to delete this program because it does seem pretty good.
The HTC Evo front-facing camera will not take an image in standard left-right format. I can see the argument for providing a mirror image to the display when setting up a picture (self-portraits), but the result (the actual picture) should not be mirrored.
If using Skype through Fring to video chat (which is really cool, BTW if just a little choppy) the video feed I'm providing to the other party is again mirrored.
It's clear there is a deliberate manipulation of the images going on here, but I can't make out why they would do that. Is there some fix, upgrade, or setting that will clear the problem?
I have not yet rooted my phone, and honestly I'm new to Android (much more familiar with security unlocking and re-flashing WinMo phones up to this point) so I might need the less-than-expert explanation if that's what's needed. ;-)
Thanks!

I remember a few people talking about this right after google i/o, I think they found a way to fix it, ill look around a bit to try to find the thread. It could be a setting in the camera settings also..

Looked around, but couldn't find a solution, but a few people think its a software issue, and has to do with qik and fring. Im not sure though.
nvm, i was wrong
Ive been working on the next update for the 1800PocketPC.com app.
I need people to test it out & report back what works & what doesn't.
Hopefully it should work most of the time, but some articles might not look right.
If you find a bug or an article that wont work, just let me know below.
The xap is attached below
Edit:
If anyone has any advice on how to easily parse html into different types of content (images, text, links etc) then please let me know.
The current solution is something I've thrown together with very little html experience & isn't too reliable.
Download and installed, will leave feedback later.
Tank's for sharing this!!!
I love the metro feel... here the bug i found -->
OK, I sideloaded it and love the feel and what you did with the augmented appbar/ settings corner. Great use of the screen real estate. Fast pageloads (i'm assuming you did it in the bg thread) its smooth and sleek. You stuck to the Metro design and the app looks beautiful on the phone.
I have one bug to report= When trying to open an article from the news page, I get an exception thrown that says..
"Specified argument was out of the range of valid values" and crashes the app. It only happens when i try to load an article, not when i go into an app review.
Thanks.
Actually, I dont parse the article in a background thread, I should probably try that
The parsing itself is something which Ive thrown together without really having any previous experience working with html, so Im glad its working so far
Im planning on re-doing it slightly to make it more reliable as at the moment, it just narrows the html down from the whole page to just the article, then down into each div, then it goes through each one in turn trying to figure out if its a link, text or an image. I need to make it work slightly better though as its not very reliable.
For the work I've done I've used this

might be worth a look see
I have an issue with photos taken in dark conditions, they are all messed up, or broken if you will, looking like corrupted JPG. In slightly better light conditions everything is fine. Reboot did not help. It happens now with default camera in sebaastian15's AIO 2.5 but I have also noticed it in AIO 2.2. Is there a way to upgrade/replace stock (sense 3.5) camera? Did anyone experienced such an issue?
I could insert image of screwed up photo but "noobs" like me have no access rights, so to look at it, make up and URL from this "img43.imageshack.us/img43/3977/imag0616d.jpg" or that one "img838.imageshack.us/img838/5885/imag0610g.jpg".
Also do not ask me to ask this question on the ROM thread... again, I am just a dumb "noob" so I cannot comment on super-duper-exclusive dev threads.

Unable to see these images.
same here
the same happened with me too
but on older versions of runnymede and runnymedemod007
mine even used to restart the whole phone
i suggest using market apps like camera 360 or others if you prefer
I was trying to avoid non-sense (hehe) cameras, but I will give it a try to be able to take night picture despite low quality... what I have noticed (but have to prove tonight) is that after I changed preferred ISO to 800 the picture taken is ok, and even when I set it back to "auto" - this sounds like ISO property is not really set and may mess up when pixel brightness computation in low light conditions (just a theorem).
ckpv5, I copied&pasted address to URL bar of web browser and it works for me, maybe you do not have access to imageshack server. When I reach "10 mails level" I will just embed it here.

Yeah.. I guess it is no access as this is what I got http://imageshack.us/img/blocked_login.jpg
Anyway... your workaround on the problem is good.
Night test done... default camera screws up pictures unless you manually set ISO. Re-checking "auto" does not help, but setting 400 or 800 helped me to make couple souvenir pictures.

Been a lot of complaints on other forums about the crippled camera app in bada 2.0 and I'd like to restore some of the fuctionality from 1.2. Perhaps it's not actually possible as all I have seen is the KK5 app brought back to enable front camera, and no 1.2 app for bada 2.0 to restore some of the other missing functions like pause in video recording or editing options. So if this is waste of time please let me know, but I though the main problem was passing the sequrity check which has now been solved thanks to kubika. SO if possible this is the precise scope of the project:
It's not just the ability to pause a video recording, or edit anything after, there's a lot of other stuff too...
NO Image Quality selection
NO countinous/sequance shoot mode
NO sharpness, saruration, contrast adjustment... but still have auto contrast check box... as oppesed to what?!?!?
NO thumbnail or info view for picture when reviewing from cammera app
NO edit fuction for anything from anywhere as already mentioned... though admittedly if I really want to edit a pic I'll probably do it on my PC anyway.
Although a noob at this I do have some expeciance with PC's, and my understanding is that bada apps are in C++ so if one can decompile and recompile the camera app. Then ALL missing functions, with possible exception of editing that probably calls on seperate app, should be easily recoverable in the bada 2.0 camera app. I've actually checked the samsung developer website, and it gives guidelines on how to implemnet many of these functions if whishing to create your own app, so the code should be easy to reinsert even for me in their own app. The one problem may be creating/inserting buttons/tiles for the menus if not already available but simply uncalled, which I hope is actually the case since one can easily recover the record call button.
The main issue is I don't know how to decompile the two apps to read and compare the code, and then recompile them, so could someone please point me to the appropriate program(s) with hopefuly some instructions on how to use them. I think this is something that may be appreciated by many since we can now more easily upload modified apps, and is a relatively simple mod for a noob to atempt... so if anyone can offer some help with that to get me started, it's a project I'd be looking to take up .
innovative ..
liked your idea.
+1
to keep it simple, you can't 'decompile' a binary code to a c++ code, the compiling process is a one-way procedure..
