Camera woes

I've been having trouble with my 8525's camera software for a while. No matter what ROM I seem to use, I can't seem to get the software to use my memory card. It says that it detects the card, but when I tell it to use it, it ignores me and tries to use the internal memory. Is there a way to fix it or do you think something else is wrong?
(Current camera software: HTC Camera 4.0 Build 28276)

Under settings, if you have the network plugin, try unchecking show network folder, the you should be able to save to SD card.

*sighs* I guess that's the reason. I guess I'll just switch that on only when I need to than. Thanks.

Thanks Blackout...that's been driving me nuts for a long time

My ARC's problems after root

Hi guys,
I got a few problems with my arc after rooting process. My arc was 2.3.3 version and downgraded it with wotan to 2.3.2, rooted, upgraded it 2.3.3 (UK version). But now I have problem with camer and browser.
Internet browser does not open any sites with 3G but when I connect with Wi-Fi there is no problem, I can open sites with stock browser. With 3G connection I can connect facebook without problem with fb app.
My camera got an interested problem. I took picture it shows right side of the screen my latest photos, I can open them. When I go to galery and look at camera pictures I cannot see latest pictures taken in there. Sometimes later (5min) taken pictures section in my camera screen was empty. And in galery camera folder I cannot see any images. When I look with astro file manager to my sd card pictures were there. I opened it with default picture viewer but it shows me only black screen. I opened pictures with astro galery viewer and I can see pictures. I think I will rpr it my phone with seus and use it without root since this kind of problems drives me crazy.
Am I missing something?

Have you tried re-flashing you're phone, also clearing user data? This usually solves those kind of problems

I did hard reset. Now I can use stock web browser with 3G connection. But now my home button is not working I cannot open camera also only black screen appears and back button also not working :S I have to restart phone when I open camera. Last solution is re-flashing but I wont do that, only removing bloatware was my reason to root so I should keep going with bloatware :/

Use SEUS to repair your phone.

Market and Youtube problem on Wi-Fi (CM 7)

I've been having trouble trying to download apps or watching youtube videos on Wi-Fi since I installed CM7.
On the Market, when I try to install a new app or update an existing one, I get the download bar and status bar icon but the download just stalls at 0%, if I switch to 3G it works but my connection is ridiculously slow (I'm on a cheap 256kbps unlimited plan).
With Youtube, I can browse videos perfectly but when it comes to playing them, they won't start. I get the loading spinning circle for a couple of minutes and then I get the error and retry dialog.
Things I've already tried:
-Wiping cache and dalvik cache.
-Reflashing G-apps.
-Clearing data + cache + uninstalling updates of both apps.
-Signing in to Google Talk before attempting to download apps.
-Deleting the LOST.DIR on my SD Card (can't delete .android_secure).
I've seen this problem on other forums and other models but nothing seems to work for me, so maybe it's a Defy-only problem that hasn't been fixed yet.
Hope someone here has an answer for this.
TL;DR version: Youtube and Market don't work over Wi-Fi, only 3G.
EDIT: Just tried downloading (on 3G) and installing the Set DNS app and Youtube now works; no luck with the Market but at least it loads faster now...

If you can't go to the normal market, go to a black market is a good solution
Ex: Appplanet, aptoide...
It's good that youtube somehow fixed.

Thanks for your reply but I rather stay away from those kind of places, I don't want to take the risk of infecting my phone with something weird, lol. Besides I would lose the convenience of regular updates to all my apps.

I know.
I'm working on making a trusted repo. in Aptoide, where people will safe when installing apps in there.
Also, I will make it Defy-only.

@ Xummoner .. The SetDNS, which options did you select to get thru the YouTube?

I just went to Preferences and un-ticked the Override 3G DNS (since my 3G works fine and I don't want to take the chance of messing it up) and then on the main screen I chose Open DNS and Apply.
EDIT: I'm beginning to think that the issue is not related to the phone, or maybe is a combination of different things because a lot of users have been having the same problem in my country trying to access the Market and Youtube using Wi-Fi connected to a certain ISP which might be blocking the ports needed for the Market, but I'll have to investigate further.

[Q] Unable to download from Market using 3G?

Update with fix [Thanks jayclapp!]
For anyone with this issue, go into your APN settings and remove anything in the "Proxy" field, right below "APN". Fixed the problem immediately for me + jayclapp!

Hi all,
Having an issue downloading anything from the android market on 3G. 3G works for everything else besides downloading from the market (browsing, email, sync, etc).
When I switch to wifi, I can download from the market perfectly fine.
I've tried a friends SIM with a different carrier, and it DOES work over 3G.
Logcat of the issue happening From what I can tell the error starts around line 50, but I included the full log in case it helps.
I'm not much of a developer so I'm just trying to determine why exactly it's happening, as Android simply spits out a pop-up with the useless message:
[App name here] could not be downloaded due to an error.
I have a friend on the same carrier with a Nexus S and she can download apps from the market fine. Haven't been able to test her SIM in my phone yet though.
I've found some others with a similar issue (although not restricted to only happening over 3G): http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5a31588b6f655e89&hl=en
None of the solutions there helped though. I've cleared market data, wiped, factory reset, tried different roms, etc.
I'd really appreciate any help.

i'm having the same problem - using a galaxy nexus on tmobile. haven't had the change to try on wifi yet.

Glad I'm not the only one...
By searching pastebin, I've found a few others that pasted their logcats with the same issue, but I can't find wherever they posted it to see if a solution ever happened.
One solution I found was to delete / rename the .android_secure folder on the "SD" card, but I see that folder on my phone. I know dotfiles are hidden by default but I'm showing hidden files and I don't even see .android_secure from adb shell.
I'm on Mobilicity in Canada, which also uses AWS bands, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I don't like bumping, but I still have this issue and was hoping someone could help out.
Sucks only being able to download apps over wifi.

I saw Josh Topolsky from The Verge has been complaining about this issue on twitter the last couple days.
www.twitter.com/joshuatopolsky

I've tried everything to fix it, tried different roms, kernels, wiping, factory reset, different SIM cards, nothing will fix it.
The 403 error indicates that it's Google's servers that are forbidding the connection...but I see no reason why they would, and it's not like I can change the IP address of what my phone is being assigned by the 3G towers.

Everthing was fine on stock untill i flashed revolution hd 1.3.1... I had the same problem with market but for some reason i enabled wifi and started downloading stuff from the market...then i turned it off and magic it worked thru att 3g...
I hope this temp solution might help you guys out or maybe it just worked for me

Ditto
I'm facing the same issue with a Galaxy Nexus (bought from Virgin) on Mobilicity in Toronto: market works on wifi, but not on 3g.

I'm having this problem too. With Orange in Spain.
But is not a constant problem. Sometimes works fine, and another ones not. When the error comes out I try again several times untill it works. If doesn't I whait to have Wifi.
But as I said it isn't always. But some type of bug is.

I got the Galaxy Nexus yesterday from Virgin Mobile and using it with my Telus SIM and Android Market downloads dont work using the mobile network but switch to wifi I can download from Market. I've tried everything you mentioned as well and still no luck.

I have noticed some delays in downloading but I am pretty sure it is becasue of the "little" 10 Billion Apps promotion thats causing the issues.. the market must be seeing a lot more traffic than it can cope with.. servers must be over loaded!
Try market at off peak times (worked for me)!
This theory syncs quite well with the 10 Billion Apps promotion.. just a thought!

Unfortunately that isn't the reason. It's definitely something more serious / buggy than simply too much traffic. It's been going on for almost 2 weeks now, well before that promotion even started.
Anyone feel like pulling a logcat and seeing if it matches up with mine? I'd suspect it does (403 Forbidden errors).
It basically boils down to Google's servers rejecting the connection for one reason or another. 403 error = The server is connectable, but knowingly refused the connection. It's something on Google's end, but I don't understand why certain devices are being rejected while others aren't.

Went to apn settings and removed the proxy and now i can download from market over celluar

Just wanted to confirm your fix worked for me jayclapp!
Updating the OP with the fix, in case anyone stumbles across the same issue.

Bumping up the thread but i believe it's for a good reason.
I had the same problem with I9100 after upgrading to ICS from GB. Talked to Google play support, their solutions weren't helpful (erasing cache and stuff) and they said it's a carrier problem. I used another SIM from the same carrier and it still wasn't working....
So.... Stumbled on this thread, erased the proxy and now it's working!!!
So, i'm bumping this thread so it will perhaps show up in google in a higher search position and to say thanks to the OP (besides the thanks button)

[Q] Youtube App: This can't be viewed

Hey, I receive a message on my agalxy Nexus that says *This can't be viewed* when im on the home tab via the youtube app. Anyone have any idea what this might be? other people say they don't get that error. Screen shot attached

Not sure what may be the root cause of this issue - I assume this happens every time you try to use the app?
If so, you could try clearing the YouTube app's data to see if that resolve the problem.
Beyond that I've got nothing...

I wonder if it has anything to do with user's not allowing certain videos to viewed by a mobile device. Can they do the same thing with a list?

Maybe it was due to me flashing a radio? I mean everything else works but that app.

I would think that if the radios allow data to be transferred, it shouldn't effect the data transfer through youtube.
