Quick question. Didnt see this mentioned anywhere sorry if it was. Any way to be able to use the camera during a call? I dont see why it would be disabled but i needed to but couldnt today. Not a big deal just wondering!

Sweet, thanks! Have you tried it? Or has anyone else tried it on the ET4G? I guess I can be the guinea pig, haha.
Haven't tried it. This is my second epic touch and I have yet to root this one.

i wish this were true. alas using the camera while on a call is not a feature of potatoman's modified camera.apk.
sadly, it's not even in his "possible features [he's] looking at implementing" list.
hope someone can make this mod soon. it's the only camera mod (other than focus sound disabling) that i'm concerned about.
I just tested and it works fine with the Camera Fun app that was free on Amazon a while ago. It's not the stock camera, but it'll work. Right?

Coming from an EVO 4G, this is a feature I miss badly, being able to take a quick picture while on a call. I remember the original Epic couldn't do it either and it was one of the reasons I went back to the EVO. I'm not planning on leaving the SGSIIE4GT though
Been having trouble with this as well. Will go and experiment with those and come back!
anything new on this ?
What's the issue here? Taking a picture while on a call, or are we talking about video calls?
I believe it is a touch wiz issue. I have the Samsung Epic with Cyanogenmod you can take a picture which making a phone call because it does not have touch wiz but with every touch wiz Rom you can't. You can wait for Cyanogenmod to support your phone. But you will be waiting a long time.

Yeah the issue is when you are on a voice call if you try to take a pic you are not allowed to even load the camera app at all. Even if you hit the Home button and goto the main screen (with call in background) there is no way of doing it. It's kinda annoying at times when you have to tell someone "Hey let me call you right back I need to take a pic of something and send it to you"
I've had to do that far to often then I'd like to lol.

Can Anyone help here, Info of Google is limited or am using wrong Key words,
My Previous phone was the N97 and perfect Keyboard, Long Space Bar!!!!

But in the hunt i come accross swype (Also noticed someone els post they use it in this thread)
Wow!!! very good very easy looks like i may of overcome my issue lol
The full stop instead of space has been bugging me for ages as well. Just trying out new keyboard from market called swiftkey beta. Seems better so far but no double tap space for a full stop might become a problem instead...
Swype in landscape moves the space bar to the side by the way
Sorry if this has been raised elsewhere, but I couldn't find it anywhere...
I know many don't like HTC's Sense. Personally I like it fine, with the huge exception that I can't use my phone in landscape half the time. I don't suppose it would be possible to enable landscape would there?
I'm running rooted stock 2.2.

yeah the home screen for sure, but since contacts, calendar, music, etc... are all modified by sense then none of them can go landscape either.
This is the number 1 reason why I don't use sense/Rosie. Its utterly ridiculous that sense doesnt do landscape.

The sad part is all the images are there (in the framework) for Rosie to go into landscape, they just don't let it. I've seen a mod done that accomplishes this but it looked terrible and would have taken a lot of work to get all the elements to look right. Maybe they gave up and decided to focus on a more important project.. like Sprint Nascar.. or the Sprint Promotion app..
Rosie has such potential but is such a let-down. If they weren't going to go the extra mile and make Sense own everything else then they shouldn't have wasted their time on such a crippled UI.
Sense for Windows mobile does landscape. Why not the Android version HTC? Thats one of the reasons I use adw

I completely agree. Its like they got to a point that they were happy and just gave up. The fact that landscape wasn't a high prirority is either lazy or dumb or both. This is basic functionality. As soon as I found adw way back when, Rosie has never touched my phone.
Yeah it does seem pretty dumb. Well I wonder if when the G2 comes out with an actual keyboard it'll mean that we finally have a landscape Rosie...

Id hope. You'd think that the Evo would have had it since they promoted the hell out of the kickstand. What good is a kickstand if you have to turn the phone vertically to use its most basic functions? Thank God for ADW.
after trying every flavor out there, ive decided to stick with di18.
i am picky, i know, but the stock rom (rooted) is 100% what I like. there is not one thing that doesnt work the way i like it to.... so.... on that note
ive removed all the sprint apps, update.zip and its rooted but i cannot get the darn thing to stop asking me about the update...

I believe you could just rename or remove the systemUpdater.apk and it would stop checking for updates
.. I think thats the correct name but if its called something else please correct me
Edit: I would just use Titanium and "Freeze" the system updater at first. but i think this is removed on custom roms anyway so shouldn't be a problem to remove it

well, im a big fan of the syndicate rom but it carries over what i dont like
the "google" search is slower than the stock search
the browser seems slower
messages in the "call log" annoy me
cant search in phone app by last name
keyboard seems to "miss" letters
except syndicate, dk and ce based roms just seem slower
if i could build roms i would and remove the carrier iq and add the extra functions when you hold down the power button.
btw, im a guy.... i need to change my sn lol
so, im going to just remove system updater, hope that works
I'm with you,I liked DK28 the best out of all 3 FROYO releases,and I actually had DI18 on all day today just to see what it was like again; And I forgot how damn smooth it was compared to this hacked-up **** we have right now,I know EC05 is young (and I plan on building EC05 still) but I'm making a DK28/EB13/EC05 ROM with no carrier IQ,and most if not all EC05 mods should work,I start on that as soon as I get off work.

What you listed doesn't make sense...
the "google" search is slower than the stock search It is the stock search.
the browser seems slower Fast and checkerboardless in SRF.
messages in the "call log" annoy me Not present in SRF.
cant search in phone app by last name Fair.
keyboard seems to "miss" letters Better than DI18 and user-adjustable in SRF.
I don't think you need to defend SRF kOnane... I think my problem is UV kernels,but I still can't narrow down the static/pops. But this is what I've seen sofar,when fast scrolling (scroll fast,then remove finger fast) no pops,but if I scroll with my finger on the touch screen the entire time,it pops like crazy ; Which makes me think its the touch screen driver,or interference on the bus when using the touch screen...

I know there's been posts about this already and I've tried about 3-4 different apps already attempting to gain this functionality, so far with no success.
My old Tilt2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 had a BUILT-IN ability to record BOTH side of the phone call simply by pressing a menu button and then selecting "Record" DURING the call, which means I could choose exactly when I wanted to record, I didn't have to know in advance and I didn't have to record the whole call. I could go back to that same menu and "Stop Recording" just as easily and then the recording would show up in the Voice Recorder app file list. (they were saved as .amr files)
I have yet to find an application (free or paid) that provides this same functionality (and preferably the same ease of use and simple features) for the Android system, and I've been looking since I first got my Epic 4g back in May with Froyo 2.2 on it. I've got GB on it now, are we ever going to get an app or a build or rom that has this feature in it?
Thank you.

Background on this topic:
In previous threads on this topic in the Epic forums, it has been stated that it is against the law in some states to record a conversation without notice to & consent of the other party/parties.
That said, in all of those threads since the Epic's release--I've yet to see an app recommendation that panned out for those seeking such functionality.

My old PalmOS Treo had that feature, and it was perfect! Have been looking like you for that would work on the epic with no luck.
It was helpful when recieving important info while driving and not having to pull off to the side of the road and try to write things down with pen and paper!
Wth are people up to that they need to record their calls so badly. Are you guys creepy stalkers? Don't trust your gf/bf? Dump them. Jeez. Are you the damn dept of Homeland Security?

I have only used my recorder on my Treo twice in 2 years. But the times I did use it was when someone gave me super long instructions on something I can't remember, so instead of saying to the caller, call me back when I at home in about an hour (which is an inconvenience to both of us) and when I am by my computer and have a pencil and paper, I simply continued the conversation. Then when I did get home I just wrote that information down at my convenience.
It's like have All Wheel Drive in a car, most of the time you don't need it, but it sure is nice when you have it.
Obviously you have never had a need for anything so mundane, as you are always in the perfect situation, so why the heck do you need a wireless phone? Stick to your corded phone, that's all you need, oh wait, you probably have a wireless phone. You must be one of those creepy guys too!

Not creepy, trying to be SAFE while driving and when someone is giving me instructions, or their address or phone number or when I'm on the phone with HP tech support and at the end of the call they want to give me a really long case number, there are a thousand legitimate reasons to need to have the ability to record portions or the entirety of a conversation while on the phone. When you have a 2hr commute each way to work and back, you spend a lot of time on the phone and frequently get information that needs to be written down, which I can't do while driving...not SAFELY at least.
Why was this so simple for the OLD Windows WM6.5 to accomplish yet the much more improved Android can't? Is it the OS or the phone manufacturer's that are preventing this feature???
~Z
I think it's a built in function in the MIUI ROM. I'm pretty sure on my last call I saw that feature...
Edit: yup, just checked and it's there. It's a stable ROM, you may want too check it out.

I could use this in several aspects my business dealings... I would live to be able to confirm verbal contracts over the phone, create action items during conference calls while in the car & to capture confirmation #'s when paying bills over the phone just to name a few. Essentially, some of u just don't get it & automatically think the worst which shows your train of thought and personality all to well.

Well, I'd say we've confirmed that there's definately a market for such a program on our device, if not others. I guess the trick is, and unfortunately I'm not a phone or android expert, I have to revert back to one of my original questions to see where to go with this. The developers here are pretty damn good and usually fill in whatever requests are out there for apps/mods to satisfy our requests. So is the reason why there isn't already a call recording program then the fault of the phone's themselves? I've heard that some people have had complete success with a program, but only with a specific model of phone. Others say that they get only microphone input...
Is the hardware truly limiting the ability or can we find a really nice and good dev who could get around any hardware limitations (at least on the Epic) and get this ability working finally?

This might be a real stupid question but when I recieve a call I get about a second of my normal ringtone with the contact photo displayed and then it goes to a screen with a dancing android man, plays "stayin' alive" and displays some text saying about invalid video ringtone something yadda yadda.....
I'm sure it never did this before and I can't find any settings for changing a video ringtone or videocalls in general and can't find the animation in phone.apk ??
It does it on all calls, with or without a contact photo.
I'm running apex rom but can't find anything in the apex thread to explain this....
Does anyone have this happening or is it normal and i'm just being a tit

Well maybe not malware as such but adware. From the way you describe it it sounds like an app is intercepting your call and displaying an overlay that will probably try to do dodgy stuff if you follow its advice. I would highly recommend going through your app list and see if there is anything that shouldn't be there, especially an app that requires permission to read your phone state.

Right I've solved the issue but I'm not really sure how. I deleted maybe 3 or 4 apps that I didn't really use and I also did a dalvik wipe( for another reason) . I hadnt recieved a call since and i went to video it for you guys and now I have no disco Droid! I think it was the dalvik wipe which solved it but I'm not sure why?
In a strange way I kind of miss that funky Droid now!!
This link shows pretty much whst the droid did but it was different music and the incoming call screen had the contact photo top left and a answer/end keys at the bottom....
