Working SHCameraApp in Mango - Windows Phone 7 General

I liked the SHCameraApp but it did not work in Mango.
Out of curiosity, I tried to install the older versions and both 051 and 045 worked!
When I first installed, it's just a blank screen. Tap the 4th icon on the right to switch to video and back to camera and it works. For some reasons, the 051 version would give some error code when you change the setting and it takes a much longer time to show your taken picture as compared to 045 version.
Hope someone will find it useful.
Edit: It always shows a blank screen when launched. Just switch to video and back to camera to get it working. When switch to video, sometimes it did not show anything, just swipe to the left and back. Installed the 045 version in my camera now

I remember the developer of SHCamera saying he used native code in version 060. Chances are that's the reason that it doesn't work on Mango.

Patch 3 WM2005

Has anyone used this yet? Last time I installed WM2005 I used patch 1 and now there is a Patch 3, whats the difference? Any bug fixes, etc?
It's reported to be faster, especially in certain read/write operations. I'm not sure, but I think it's correct. At least my BA seems a bit more responsive now. Look at the patch thread in the upgrade forum.
I just put this on my XDA2s last night. Here's a list of bugs/problems I've found so far. Perhaps someone could help me sort them out!
Album app doesn't work properly if opened from file explorer
Can't specify incoming files folder for bluetooth (not a bug but a standard feature of any phone and the old ROM)
No MSN messenger
No wifi icon next to bluetooth icon
Activesync takes like 5 minutes!
The keyboard doesnt work properly (ie letters freeze resulting in words like thisssssssssssssssssss)
After pressing 'hang up' in a call it takes about 10 seconds to do so. Even then the connected icon still remains at the top for a further 10 seconds.
Camera button only opens the app but doesn't take pictures
There's probably patches for some of this but I've not found them yet.
Patch 3 on an imate with Tmobile US results
Loaded it this morning on my imate pda2k. MSN works for me. When I tried the camera button it would come up but when I released it it woudl closel. Loaded the Camera 2k5 from 9/8 and now the app opens up and I see the image from the camera but when you press the button it does not take the picture/ start the movie camera (I'd really like to see this fixed) Do NOT load the button fixes from v1 and v2. They re map the buttons in a manner that is not consistent with their legends. If you do load it and want to back it out go to settings, remove programs and back it out. I can now get GPRS working on T-mobile US where on v1 and v2 it didn't like it. Am using Active Sync 4.1 wich is great! (although slow). If you are trying to sync up at all and you are using an exchange server make sure outlook is open and connected or it gets upset the first time. So far I like it. Still a little slower that 2003SE. Will post more as i play with it.
SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THE CAMERA
Camera Still dead after reload
took m5 and started fresh, loaded everythig remcommended but the camera still doesnt work. the button launches the application but when you press it while you are in the appliation it does not take a picture or start the video
Help
Better Discription of camera problem
If I dont load the button fix then the camera operates as in previous post, program launches but cant take picture. If I load the button fix, then when i hit the camera button camera help launches (explorer) instead of the camera App. How do I edit the keys? and how do I get the camera to take pictures. Other wise life is good so far
Camera now works
Go figure, loaded the caller ID cab and dumped the fles usng file dump from buzz and now the camera works. Sorry about all of the useless info
i installed the v3 and for some reason, my other sim card the roaming one is working perfectly, coz im using dual sim card....no problem so far, great work....
It often takes up to an hour to get a text message from the time it was sent. Does anyone else experience this?

Graphical Glitch

I am using Myns Android ROM withthe wifi update + 110 pixel density update, booting via SD card and every now and then I get a graphical glitch/system crash that shows as thin, black and white stripes on my screen.
Anyone know what might be the cause/how I can fix this?
If i chose to install to NAND, would it be more stable/faster? And can I simply flash it with a WM ROM to go back to "normal"?
Thanks!!
I cant say about the glitch, try changing the kernel maybe. But your second and third questions have been asked and answered so many times, its ridiculous. But since its your first post, I'll answer:
would it be more stable/faster?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes to both
can I simply flash it with a WM ROM to go back to "normal"?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes again. Also, Try using the search button in the forums, and read the stickys, go through some threads etc.
My apologies for not going through the threads properly.
I half knew the answers to my 2nd and 3rd question, but wanted clarification
I am trying Super Eclair Lite, and whilst wifi works well, I cannot hook up to 3G(gprs/wap/hdspa/EDGE etc)
I can call and make/receive texts though :S Hit this glitch a couple of times too, but i noticed it seemed to happen when putting the device to sleep, so I changed the screen setting to 30 minutes and turned of animations etc.
p.s. How do you remove widgets?
graphical glitches are usually caused by using the wrong panel type in default.txt when using haret, or the wrong NBH panel type when using Nand, to fix the first, edit default.txt, to fix the second flash another NBH with another panel type, (panel type is usually in the filename).
To remove a widget, press and hold on it, then move it to the bottom of the screen.
Apologies for being a totaly newbie, but what are the "panel types"? MY default.txt shows the correct resolution, but I cannot see anything about panels (I might just not be looking hard enough lol!)
I now have a problem when booting from the SD card that my resolution is "bigger" (icons are larger and overlap, menu items are larger too) But it was fine before i rebooted....
Any help for the GPRS issue?

You can remove widgets by long pressing on them until the bottom tray becomes a bin/x or something similar, then drag them to it.
About the 3g problem, I had that a while back after installing a new build, what solved it for me was changing the kernel. I had flashed to nand so I simply got another nbh. For you it might be zimage. If you say you got that graphical glitch when the device went to sleep, then you should try changing your panel time. For a good smooth android experience, you will have to take some time, and flash many different nbhs/updates and change settings etc to get what works best for you.
I am trying out Myns Warm Donut again with the wifi update.
How can i change panel time?
Dunno if this helps but I managed to get GPRS/3G working on SuperEclair. I had to manually put in the APN and made sure the mcc mcn codes were right.
When i changed the codes the APN disapeared from the list but data connection established itself after a couple of minutes.
This is the link I used to get the right APN codes:
http://george.insideiphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/mcc-and-mnc-codes.pdf
For NBH files the panel type and resolution is in the filename: KAISIMG-PANEL1-320-ECLAIR.NBH : the filename shown is for Panel1 resolution 240x320.
To change panel type simply flash another NBH with panel2 or panel3, it will not affect your install, since the android nbh's don't format Nand, this is done by the installer
For Haret installs the panel type is changed in default.txt look for the line: board-htckaiser.panel_type and change the value to 1, 2 or 3.
Wow, that is great! I've searched for a solution for this problem a long time, but this is the first thing that works for my Kaizer 130.
Many thanks!
I had android running off the sd card most of the day yesterday, using the panel type of 1 worked well (did notice the odd glitch when coming out of sleep mode, but it didnt crash)
still not sure what the panel type does, can anyone explain? (curiosity really)
However, I tried to use the camera, and after switching to vide and back again to photo mode, android crashed.
I can suffer not using the camera, as its nothing amazing.
p.s. anyone know if you can remap the buttons? as the hang up button puts the phone into sleep mode, the wheel doesnt do much, and other buttons dont do much either.
Panel type refers to the LCD panel, there are 3 different types of panel fitted to the kaiser series, one manufactured by Sony, the other two by Topoly, functionally they are identical, however there are some differences in the electronic controllers fitted to each, which in winmo is detected automatically, however Android is unable to detect the differences and the correct type must be passed to the kernel at boot time, either by boot parameters in default.txt or hardcoded into the NBH. Due to the way electronics factories work, the panel type depends on which one was available at the lowest price, and shortest lead time, when it was required, hence the reason for the confusion, since some people still think that panel type is set for certain models of kaiser, which is inaccurate, since both my KAIS130's have different panels fitted.
Camera does not work in any Eclair build yet, it does in Donut builds, however it's still a little low quality even on the 3Mp Kais130, Video does not work on any android builds very well, if at all.
Remapping buttons can only be done by recompiling the kernel I think, however after a while the button layout becomes second nature, I actually get lost using winmo now, lol.

Can't get the Quick List to stop appearing!

Hey there.. I just installed the Energy ROM after having received this phone as a gift from a friend (with an unknown other ROM installed). I haven't had any problems with it for several weeks until just earlier today when the Quick List has decided to randomly start appearing on my screen. I don't even know how to trigger that screen to appear myself, but I can leave my phone unlocked on my desk and it'll randomly show the Quick List for a little while, then it'll vanish, sometimes extremely quickly. But I can't do anything on the phone anymore since it's constantly appearing and interrupting whatever I'm trying to do.
Like I said, I attempted to install an Energy ROM (Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.08.7z, according to the file I downloaded from the Energy website) and it just finished no more than 30 minutes ago. As soon as I turned the phone back on from a reboot, that dang Quick List screen appeared.
Does anyone know why it keeps popping up and how I can get it to quit? Or is there some way I can just disable the Quick List altogether (as the options on it aren't really useful anyway..)? Thanks for any help ya'll can provide!
Started having this problem a few weeks ago. Did some hardresets, some task29 and tried different roms. But this quick list keeps appearing outof nowhere. Starts to get frustrating.
It's happening again...
So, for no reason that I could tell, it magically started working again (same rom as listed above) and I never saw the Quick List window again until today.
Today, I was using that same ROM as before, but the Quick List window started appearing. I thought that perhaps it was just something to do with that build, so I upgraded to the English build available at (well, tried giving the link but apparently I haven't posted enough, so never mind). It's at "http : // Energy Roms dot com forward slash www forward slash flavors forward slash sencity.html" for the HTC Touch Pro 2 Cookie (April 8, 2011 version). The ROM installs without a problem (absent the annoying attempts to get the phone to not constantly display the Quick List) but as soon as I power the phone on, the Quick List starts blinking on again.
I searched around as before for a solution and thought I could just disable the setting so that when I hold the end call button, it displays the Quick List, but after 10+ attempts to get to the settings window without the Quick List appearing and interrupting me (then closing itself automatically and displaying the Home screen), I finally got the setting saved and it didn't change anything.
Is it possible to just turn the Quick List feature off? Is there some known reason why it has possessed my phone? Thanks for any help ya'll can give.
Is there still no solution for self appearing Quick List? because I have the same problem :/
EDIT:
I've solved it The front keys flex need to be reconnected to main flex because "endkey" was self pushed what in energy rom is configured to turn on Quick List.

I got the NEW & UPDATED Lumia 900(Green Dot) Here's what I found different. Good Job!

I got the NEW & UPDATED Lumia 900(Green Dot) Here's what I found different. Good Job!
Just got home with the updated Lumia 900. They are identified by a green dot sticker on the IMEI label of the At&t box. Let me say right off the bat, the " Memory Management " issue in my humble opinion affected more then the connection issues; or I had defective hardware with my first Lumia 900.
1. The touch response is now equal to that of my Samsung Focus. One to two thumb swipes gets me top to bottom of the home screen. THANK YOU!!!
2. My WiFi will auto connect once I reenter a WiFi area I had accessed before with out me hitting " Connect"
3. Camera wakes phone up from sleep every time. It also wakes up faster then it did before.
4. When I have several apps open and I uses the back button to get back to the home screen, the phone no longer hangs on any one page, it simple flies through each till arriving at the home page.
5. The boot up time and shut down time of the phone has increase dramatically.
6. The response of the back button its self is better in general.
7. Looks like more web pages have been added to the stock favorites, Support pages via Nokia and AT&t.
8. None of the Version numbers changed, i.e OS, Firmware, Hardware, Radio Software, Bootloader, Chip SOC.
I'll post here if I find other differences. They told me at the store more then once the update is coming out on Monday, the 16th.
Had you previously purchased the other version, then traded it in for the one you have now? I assume you did, but wanted to see what hassle if any they gave you? What did you have to do to swap out?
Hey!!! Thanks for reporting!!

Boot up and shut down time has increased or decreased?
i don't know how much faster the bootup time can be, it doesn't even have time to cycle through the windows dots once before it's at my lock screen.
that being said, good to hear they have improved the device

LOOKS like the UPdate is live in Zune right now. I got it about 10 minutes ago.
Everything as Seek said...appears to be so....
There was no hassle, but they tell you they can't exchange it again. That said I'm unfortunately going to write Nokia. My original phone that I returned today had a speaker issue or I wouldn't have returned it in the first place. The replacement that had all the wonderful improvements had one major flaw, the vibration mode on it didn't just vibrate, it made an awful metallic/knocking sound. I had it home for 20 minutes and took it back, knowing they couldn't exchange it again. After about an hour and all the employees confirming the defect I was granted a 3rd exchange. This time before even leaving the store I activated the Nokia Diagnostics App and tried the vibrate mode, and in my opinion it was even worse then then one I returned. I however exhausted the patience of the staff member who helped me, and he was a great guy. I expressed that I thought it sounded worse then the other, and he explained that they had no other stock, and made me feel like they couldn't help me any further.
*** While typing this I just received a message that there is an update available for my phone. I have a green dot on my box and was told this phone was already updated***
Updating my phone now.
i updated as well, and still notice the lag, the back button as well, still unresponsive at times. even after hard reset. i'll be going to att in the morning to see if i can swap it out.
out of curiosity, what is the country of manufacture of your new phone?
Still Korea, my guess is they just tested phones at the at&t distribution point put a green sticker on them, and shipped them to stores. I ended up getting another replacement from a different store, with no hassle at all. It was a green dot box too, and it to was offered and received an update. I have used 4 different NL900's in the last 18 hours and I think my original one must of had a faulty digitizer. My original NL900 was so so to swipe, all that followed it I'm able to swipe my full home page in 2 thumb strokes.
I didn't have the connection issue, but did update my phone last night. The scrolling has improve and is faster now. Everthing seems to run fast and smooth.
Only thing is the camera button still doesn't wake the phone up at times but that is the same with my samsung focus s...hit and miss...last is the volume button...it seems that your not able to adjust the volume when the screen goes off even with the music playing in the background.
IF you have concern please dial ##634# and run test. This will put your mind at rest because you will be able to test each part of the phone out. Remember you can still return the phone and get a new one, if the test fail.
I'm hoping Tango release will fix all these minor bugs...
I noticed that volume can be changed with the lock screen on if its through an app, i.e. WPFandora, MixTapes, 8Tracks but not through Zune. I know it works with headphones, but not all headphones have controls on them. That said my crappy headphones sound way better connected to the Nokia then my Focus.
My camera button doesn't wake up the phone either after the update, should i exchange the phone?

Go to 'Settings' -> 'applications' -> 'pictures+camera' -> 'Press and hold camera button to wake up the phone' -> 'On'
And remember the camera button is a two-stage button.
The option was turn on and I hold it for at least 5 secs, still nothing.

First stage or second stage of the camera button? You have to press it all the way down, first stage won't unlock the phone.
I'm not sure that the green dot means they've updated. I just picked on up yesterday that has the green dot and I was prompted to install the update within 2 hours of receiving it.

they had said that not all phones were impacted by the problem. Perhaps they had a way to differentiate them. Hence the marker.
Green sticker simply means it was re-checked for hardware and software issues. The connections issue seemed to be the APN setting being wrong. Who ever check the hardware failed though. On my forth Lumia 900 and only my first one had a good working vibra unit. These other ones sound like metal clanking/rattle when they vibe. Nokia is supposed to call me today at 230 pm to discuss the camera issue, and the volume buttons not working with lock screen, and the vibra units sounding defective.

M8 apps and bugs (Stock)

So, this one I put in General section on purpose, rather than the Troubleshooting and Q&A section, cause main purpose is to disguise about the bugs and things that are simply wrong.... Mainly probably Android issues rather than HTC, but their team has big impact on those...
I'm gonna start by the fact that I got the M8 just a couple days ago, and it's an upgrade from my previous M7 (Stock 4.3, TWRP Unlocked & rooted).
The first thing that I did after turning it on was, Wifi -> Software updates -> and got 3 OTAs in a row, to get me to 5.0.1... After that, I started to "migrate" the phone; Loging in G-acc, downloading apps from PlayStore.. and bump, here's the issue number 1:
- PlayStore keeps saying "Connection lost. Retry" or giving an error 923 on downloading apps, like every few minutes or so. This only happens when using 3G or 4G connection. Writing reviews is impossible, cause at the time I actually write something, and press Apply, the message is lost, and "Try again" notification appears instead... Never happened before on M7, so I checked with my carrier and we've done all the testing - It's for sure something with the phone, not the signal. carrier or tower-switching....
Next thing was, youtube has the same issues: Every few minutes (even less), a "Retry" button appears, and has to be pressed 2 or 3 times to load search results, videos, etc... Never breaks the connection during video play though. But, still, playing playlist is impossible, due to error being in between every video change...
Issue number 3: Gallery keeps getting everything that's on the phone. This includes Messenger (Facebook) app's emoticons, which are shown one-by-one in it's own albums, resulting in having over hundred albums in a gallery, - I know this can be hidden, but hiding over 100 folders is not that easy either...). I checked data on my M7 - same folders, same files of messenger, but Gallery never showed them at all.
It also shows all of the pictures I've ever shared with a particular person, since Messenger downloads those pictures in a folder... What have they done with the Gallery app?!? Is there anyway to downgrade to some older version...?
Issue number 4: Cloud gallery notification pops-up every single time the Gallery is opened. Even though I hit "No thanks" button, the next time the app is opened, notification saying "Gallery just got better with cloud service" pops-up. Any way of disabling this notification?!??? I guess that mentioning the uselessness of Zoe app due to not having Save button is irrelevant, right...? This Cloud things seems to mess up the heads of the HTC Dev team, ha?
Issue number 5: Power saver notification can't be hidden from the Lock screen; My life with M7 was 90% of the time with "Power saver" option turned on (All except for the data cut-off option selected). I always had the notification in the upper bar of the screen, but never on the Lock screen itself, in the middle of the screen. Now, on M8 this is visible. Along with the big "X" symbol that turns it off. I swear I've gone through all of the settings, but nowhere found any option to hide it.
Issue number 6: Google drive downloads low-res videos instead of originals! So, I keep a lot of my FullHD ([email protected]) of the GoPro on my Drive. Now, when I wanted to see those videos on my phone, I hit the Download button, and look what I got: 720p (1280x720) videos @ 25fps. Converted MP4 files. Without any notification, any option set, nothing... And I've downloaded the same files on M7 non-converted, so that I could edit them and upload them on social networks etc... Why is this the case, and why is this behaviour nowhere even documented? At least I haven't found it...?
Resolved issues:
- SD Card write error; It's a pain in the ass what they did. More than that, its the pain in the ass that in 5.0.1. where this was repaired (via Documents app approval), the app crashed when selecting SD card -> due to the card not having any name set (after format). It would be nice if this was documented somewhere too...
- Whole device freezes for around 10 secs whenever message is sent in Facebook Messenger app: This is resolved by turning off "In-App sounds" option in the app's settings. Still have no idea why this would happen, and why only on M8, (Nexus 5 and 6 don't have these issues running same system and app version...), so can't say who to blame, but at least it can be bypassed...
Facts (rather than issues): About M8 itself... Well, the camera is far from what they promised, and the battery is nowhere near the capacity they claim it to be. While the screen is pretty much the same as it was on the M7, I'm really starting to wonder what is the big change in the model at all (apart from louder speakers, very dumb headphones jack reposition, and gladly SD card support back in game...).
Now for the worst of it all: The playstore review content; HTC Development team seems to simply delete all reviews that are not saying what they'd like to hear. Either 1 star, 2 star, and comments that points to some issues - the review gets deleted within couple hours. I've been mentioning bugs on 3 apps, like 4 times so far, and all my reviews were gone... While they are kept on many other apps. I mean, is this the way to treat customers?!?
What are your thoughts? What are the bugs you found and I haven't yet...? I really want to know as much as I can, because I'm starting to regret for my choice....
