I've been playing with mine since Saturday now and have started to notice some issues.
1. Albums in the music player are not listed correctly. If i have an album by various artists it shows as a different album for each artist. My hero never used to do this.
2. When i charge the battery sometime it stops at around 90% and wont charge anymore until i unplug and plug it back in.
3. Friend stream is set to update every 2 hours but doesn't seem to. And i got no notifications from the Facebook app unless i manually refresh it.
Over all I'm please with the Desire, but I'm starting to think that maybe it was released too early, before all the bugs where ironed out.
Is anyone else having any of these issues?
Why do you think HTC released this phone only at T-mobile?
It's because they needed normal users to find out issues
One album for each artist sounds like you have a different "Album artist" on each track. Windows Media Center etc also shows it as different albums if the album artists are different, even though Album name is the same. I'm guessing that if you keep the "Artist"-tag as it is, and rename the "Album Artist"-tag to "Various Artists" or something like that using a tag editor, it will appear as one album.
I don't have a Desire yet, so can't confirm it, but I recently did a big job of fixing my entire music catalog to avoid this problem.
The problem with the Facebook app is a pain in the arse, it doesn't update whatever you set it too. Had the same problem on the Hero, so I assume it's the app itself.
Plus Friendstream is overated and lacks alot of features.
Can't wait to root and remove all of that crap, can't even uninstall the Facebook app.
I'm using the facebook app. Every message I get it updates. Friendstream I deleted and use the native applications. Albums work but only when they are labelled correctly. One of my albums didnt work, named it correctly and now its 100% fine.

What we mean by Facebook updates, is where it's suppose to notify you at the top of the screen...and it doesn't.
I HATE that there is no dedicated camera shutter button coz I'm vain and all so if I want to take a pic of myself sometimes I'll end up touching the screen when trying to press the trackball etc! It's damn hard holding the lower part of the phone where the trackpad is and press it if you wanna take pic of yourself lol

not sure wither its normal for AMOLED or not, but the OP saw it as an issue, so was wondering wither its his device fault or his eye is just more sensitive to take the "pink-ish-ness" of the screen

Did not work. I searched for another one on google. I'll try that one now and let you guys know.
I tried the 3d gallery i found and it seems to be running as good as the stock one did. I'll update this if thats not the case. I have Vanilla 2.2 messaging and gallery. It is partially hybrid
Can you please port the .apk you found? My gallery app is acting up and doesn't read my pics. I'm rooted running stock de-odexed rom and am planning on deleting it and re-installing it..thanx

This should work for you guys. Enjoy.
Still doesnt read my sd card..I've tried everything and it still wont read my pics Can anyone post the files in the thumbnail folder that obviously aren't the actual thumbnail pics??
FYI, this seems to break some of the options in the Sense Camera. The menu/gallery softbuttons don't seem to work consistently.

I dont quite get what your referring to. Explain it a little better.
He's talking about the little picture on the top right corner right that comes out after you take a picture..Now when you click it, it does nothing..instead of opening the picture.

And the bottom-most button below the "camera shutter" button in the Camera App. It looks like a little SD Card and normally takes you to the "gallery", HTC's Album. I'm thinking we have to change the link somehow.
Thanks!

So when I take pictures with my phones camera upright, the gallery shows the picture correctly... but now when I send that same picture via MMS (from either build in messenger or Handcent) it rotates the photo 90 degrees.
Now if I send a photo taken by my DSLR, that was copied to the SD, or a screen shot by drocap2, this does not happen.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know how to fix this?
Does anyone else have this problem??
yes I've noticed this too. Don't know what the fix is except to take photos sideways (for texting)...anyone?
This annoys the crap outta me. I haven't figured out a way to fix this other than taking pictures in landscape.

This is caused by the camera app, and how it tags the orientation. You can install a different app such as Pro Zoom 5X or something, and that should fix it. It sucks I know, but installing a different camera app should fix it (just try a free one first).

I thought maybe it was something when it compressed the image, but guess not.
The odd thing is, that in the gallery it is fine, just MMS is effected.
Is this something that can be addressed by developers?

I'm sorry, I thought you meant the Rom/Kernel developers fixing the problem in the Rom/Kernel itself. Yeah, the actual camera app probably could be fixed, but the problem is getting someone to do it. Not sure if anyone here wants to take the time to look at it when there are other camera apps that do not have this issue.
You could also try this camera. Its the MIUI camera. Just place it in system/app, might have to reboot.

I pushed theis to the system/app, Loaded it, but it still sends MMS image wrong
(Its only when sending MMS, with stock camera, or this camera)

The workaround I use to fix this is to crop the picture. Even just slightly in any gallery program. Then it orients correctly when attached. ^_^
Problem is the froyo epic ota. A Ginger leak corrects this issue. No way around it as far as I know. Start taking pics in landscape :-\

This was addressed many months ago. The simple answer is, yes, it could be fixed. But the fix is more complicated than the matter is worth. Recent digital cameras employ an accelerometer to determine how the camera is being held and thus dictate how computers and devices should orient the resultant picture. It does this via some sort of digital tag in the pictures coding that an application then reads. For some reason, the tag the Epic camera creates is then not properly read by the same phones messaging app. Frustrating? Sure. But is an mms that will be looked at for a matter of seconds before being discarded worth hours of effort to correct? The majority of developers have apparently decided it's not worth the effort, and this would greatly exceed my own knowledge.
Simple fix? Another messaging or camera app as suggested.
I came upon this save issue, but I have the Epic Touch 4G.
I take the pic, and with Handcent, the image is rotated 90° counter clockwise.
But with the Native message app, the picture is fine, and not rotated.
Would appear to be an app issue, but with the EVO 4G, the pic was not rotated using Handcent.
I'm a little confused on this one.
Im a huge Instagram user and I've been having a problem when snapping photos using Instagram.
Whenever I snap a picture, the photo will be cropped off 1/2 in on each sides thus ruining the composition. There are no issues on video though/
I'm currently on Omega v18 (stock rom based) and Im not sure if it's a ROM-specific problem or just issues of IG with the Note 2.
Can anyone else try this and see if after snapping a photo the final photo will get smaller or like zoomed in than whats showing in the viewfinder prior to snapping.
Thanks.
4.1 update doesny fix it.
Anyone kind enough to check? Im pretty sure most of you have Instagrams :/
No one has instagram to test this out?
No issues here, see.

Hi Chobie,
I have the same problem as you example. I took a pic of an apple, fit it into the whole pic and then when i snap, the end result is not what was seen before i snap. It sort of zoom in/cropped the photo such that you dont see the whole apple & the sides have been cut off. I'm also using Note 2 & i dont know when did this problem occurs. I searched all over the internet but it seems that no one is having that problem. My sister is using S4 but she doesnt have this problem.
Did you manage to fix it? I uninstall and install back the app, no help at all

Thanks. Nope still no fix for it. I even reverted back to stock ROM to see if it's a ROM problem but it produces the same problem.
I've reported bug to instagram's website so you can probably report it as well to escalate the problem.
Hi,
Yup. I emailed instagram. Hopefully they can advise..

Happening to me as well. The only solution I could find was to disable the option to "Use Instagram's advanced camera" under "Advanced features". This way it uses the phones camera and then asks you to crop the photo on your own.
I hope they fix it soon.

I have the same problem. Samsung note 4. Stock Android OS. Instagram and an app called "paper camera" both have this issue.
I have the same problem too. I take a pic & it comes out all zoomed. I emailed IG but still no response. Anyone know how to fix camera zoom bug? I have S5
I have the same problem. Picture is zoomed after a picture is taken. Very frustrating. Clearing app data repairs the issued for just a while. Reported a problem to Instagram via in app feature. No response. I'm using Sony Z5, Android 7.0
9 Aug: Updated to Android 7.1.1. The problem still exists in Instagram. Very dissapointed. What's interesting - problem does not exist with a front camera. Has anybody found a solution?
Hey
The same things happening to my phone (Smasung S6) and I came to Google hoping to find a solution. It hasn't always been like this but now it won't go back and it only happens to instagram :/

Exactly. I got the 4.4w1 update and was hopeful, but they still look the same. It looks so bad I am embarrassed whenever I get a text if people are around...
Funny that while playing Music, the album art shows up High Res. The problem is only with pictures of contacts while receiving texts, hangouts or whatsapp messages. This should be fixed big time. !
Yeah the only way around this (for now) is to install wear messenger... It doesn't display contact pics.
The beta version of WhatsApp fixes the pixelation for both WhatsApp and hangouts... WhatsApp removed it in the official release for some reason.
M attaching the apk for any one who wants to use it.
