PIE "save picture as" saves very small pixilated picture

Hey all,
I've really been trying to find a solution to this and searched a lot. I think it has something to do with the USER AGENT thing, and changing the registry, but I can't get it to work.
So PIE loads all pictures on the phone, automatically squishing it or formatting it for the hermes screen resolution. That's fine, but when I save the image, it ONLY saves it at that small, pixilated crappy resolution. I can't zoom the picture.
I think this is somehow linked to the whole "can't post on myspace" thing, because I can't post on myspace either haha.
I'm using the Black 2.5 right now, but tried Custel's 1.2 and had the same issue. When I used Black 1.2 or 2.0 it was NOT an issue.
This happens whether or not I use PIE Plus.
I know where the information is on the WIKI showing the reg edit to change the user agent so the web thinks you're using a regular desktop browser, and PIE Plus has this option to change in it's options as well, but it's not doing it.
Is there some other registry key or whatever that i'm missing that tells the internet how to format its information?
Again, I searched and looked and tried and hacked and regged haha, but did not find a definitive answer to this. MUST POST TO MYSPACE ON MY PHONE!!!!
Thanks.

anyone? i'm willing to donate some moolah... i need to figure this out before i hack back down to 1.2

check your pm's

thanks. i don't like opera though. the scroll bar on the right doesn't work at all and i don't like the interface.
the only reason i'm persistent here is because it actually WORKED at one time with no problems! all i did was change the user agent in the reg and it worked after i set it to make the net think it was windows xp.
but on these latest roms, it doesn't work.
i know there has to be a solution here.
thanks though!

scroll bar doesn't work? which version were you using? Also have you tried minimo? Not a fan of it personally but might work for your needs?

minislo is too mo... I mean... yeah.
I bumped back down to black 2.0 and PIE is perfect! man I may have to stay here
there's gotta be a reason it works here and not higher...

sorry to up my own thread,
but with black 3.5 now, the myspace posting works, and gifs work...
but jpegs still display as formatted to the screen size, and when saving the images, they are much smaller in file size and resolution.
for example, a normally 111kb file is only 25k when saved.
there has to be a definitive answer to this!! and i can't be the only one trying to look at po... uh, pictures and they don't display well.

I've noticed this behavior when I have the Cingular proxy enabled. My understanding is the proxy compresses images in order to speed up load times. Once disabled, images appear, and can be saved, as they should be.
Perhaps you have a carrier proxy enabled?

ugh... n00b question of the millenium
how do i disable the cingular proxy from black dymond?

Artemis Touch 4.01 Not keeping time & other bugs

Hi, any one know why my clock constantly slows down and I need to set the time again ? It is not an active sych issue... it just slows down.. looses time..
Everything seems to be working other than that on my arte110....
But.. the touch cube/ flow stuff... would be nice if there was some instructionst on that because I dont see any of that happening on my phone even though I got it set to default in the touch flow settings....
No animated cubes or other stuff inn navigation.... Not sure what it is exactly supposed to look like...
the only animated feature is the contact list and the opera mini , as a page loade it slides in... cool,
But other than that opera mini sucks...
it can hardly search this forum.....
and no tabbed browsing or selecting, copying text...
it is however very fast.
And isnt there some sort of function holding down the buttons to the phone vibrates? Would be nice to know about how that works....
Zoom on the camera doesnt work at 2 mp setting...
media player part of the home screen seems non functional...
And what is this hibernation feature?
BTW, it seems that when my screen is dark the phone stops keeping time...
I hope I am not missing any calls durring this time....

The TouchFlo configuration utility clearly lists what you have to do to make it work, the best setting for me is the top to bottom option, never fails

considering it's a beta, it's a million times better at browsing the web that Pocket IE. Can't expect everything and surely not from a beta at that.

The first post to Touch 4.01 defines which hbutton command are set by default. You can add your own extras from the hbutton commands in programs

I use mine EVERY day, works fine, where it says 'launch music player', press it, it'll work just dandy.

Frees up extra ram, that is all
You just need to take the time to explore the features this ROM has, there are a lot of applications included, some may not be to your taste, and others you'll think are fantastic(like hbutton), if there is a specific application you need to find more about, try searching through the forums or on google, there is a lot of information out there regarding most of the applications, unfortunately we can't expect Meschle to produce a lengthy instruction manual detailing each and every single aspect of his ROM, part of that is the expectation that the people using custom ROM's should be able to figure out the nitty gritty details.
Of course the forums are here to answer questions, but it is also a repository of answers to the questions already asked. The TouchFlo one has come up many times.

HTC Weather is gorgeous ... and a pain!

Any advice - I've searched the forum and can't find how to fix annoyances with my standard ROM Touch Pro 2 with HTC's Win Mo 6.5.
1. How do I get weather to update more frequently?
2. I'm mid-summer where I am now which means the sun is up and bright well before 7am. Why the @#&* does my Pro2 insist on showing me a moon until well gone 8am?! The weather app doesn't seem to be sunrise/sunset aware for each location and it seems to think we're all stuck in the middle of some Siberian winter all year around!
Mark

by defualt its set to update every 3 hours if you have auto update enabled.
If you want it to update more frequently use a registry editor and navigate to
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
Scroll down to
Weather.AutoDownloadInterval
and edit the DWord Value which is in minutes
I just set mine to 45.
btw i just found out how to do this by searching the forum for "weather update interval" so try to search next time
98% of the issues your gonna have most likely have been experienced by somebody else

Well, the moon is often still in the sky, even if the sun is out!

Thanks for the pointer fone_fanatic.
Unfortunately that tweak doesn't work for me - the registry key didn't exist, but even creating it made no difference. I see others on the forum (I've found them now I know what I'm looking for) have the same problem.
Btw I did try searching ... but didn't think of that phrase. Which now I think of it is pretty obvious but at the time I tried several other that I thought would point me in the right direction!
You're right - xda-developers is a great forum for solutions and I've found many here. Problem is using honing in your problem on your phone when there's such a vast database.
Anyway - thanks again. Annoying that I can't fix this though!

Hmm ... ok.
But how about this? It's 10:30pm as I write this and the sun is still showing on my Pro2 home screen!

Make sure you are going to HKCU and not HKLM or the such. Setting that has worked for me for making it update properly for 5 different versions of TouchFlo.

Hi and thanks for the advice, but I have checked and triple checked.
I note plenty of people on the forum are having problems with this so I'm not the only one. Strange that HTC didn't allow a setting for this within the interface somewhere.

TouchFLO 3D's weather data seems to come from AccuWeather. (This might vary by the ROM and its intended country though.) Maybe HTC didn't want to risk overloading AccuWeather's servers with too many users updating too frequently.

As for the sun/moon ratio, I don't know where these guys had their heads. My location doesn't change from sun to moon until 9PM, even though by 7PM it's already dark.

[Q] Complete forum theme redesign?

Maybe I'm missing something... I can't find any threads mentioning a change to the site... but I just refreshed my page and now the entire forum has a completely different look....a very bland grey theme.
I know I didn't change anything...and no one else seems to be mentioning this..?
Ideas?
NM: Just found this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-2015-forum/

I dont like the new design... imho its much worse than before.

Go to Settings > Edit Options > Forum Skin (very last choice). Now you can select the skin that was shown yesterday (XDA 2013)

We're testing a new theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda/official-xda-2015-forum-template-bugs-t2887442
it was accidentally set for everyone yesterday for a short time, which is why you saw it change.

I just noticed it today and I personally don't like it. I never once complained about this site and ive been coming to XDA since 2009, but this new format sucks. I always come to XDA on my Android and I must add the new format is NOT mobile friendly. I don't like the sticky/glued top bar because like many of those mobile sites out there... the top bars stay stuck in one spot and enlarge while you try to zoom in & view the rest of the page.... thus it starts blocking page content. I am NOT a fan of glued top/side bars for this reason. I also had trouble logging in because the login box kept disappearing if I moved the page just a pinch.
The split panes on the right side are also buggy. Sometimes they get stuck and overlap on the forum content when I zoom out. :/

Please read the thread I linked to above, and post any issues there.
or you can return to the old theme if you don't like the new one.

[Feature Request] More mobile optimalized website/forum

I really use the website a lot, but unfortunately the mobile version is working awful...
For example, the XDA Portal Posts are very ugly positioned on mobile phone screens. you can't scroll a little bit to the right and there are advertisements and so on..
I can continue this way, but I think you might notice my point. The mobile orientated css is awful right now (in my opinion) and (in my opinion) needs to be changed.
XDA, you càn do it! I know that!

There's a feedback/recommendation thread for such suggestions, which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
:good:

Ah I didn't know that. Thank you for pointing me the right direction anyway!

I do not bother with the newer xda themes, stay with 2010!!!
Also use a browser like Atlas (set to 175% screen) that can force desktop.
Then fall back to Chrome or NoChromo for editing.
Set xda options set to view threads linear, newest first. Then on a long thread, once you read the newest, change the drop down to hybrid to see the Op. Then switch as needed.
This is so you do not have to press that tiny little button to view the latest post in 2010 theme.

Why not use the app?
