Can you record videos like youtube

well one thing i wonder is how to record videos that u see like the ones off you tube is there an application or some way to do that
Your question is quit vague......but you should be able to recorde anything and just log into youtube on your phone then upload the video straight from the phone. Hope that is what you were asking

Questions/thoughts about my Incredible

Ok I'm coming from another phone where I'm used to certain things so I'm trying to figure out some things on the Incredible... any help would be appreciated.
1. How do I send MMS video? No matter what resolution I take a video at, when I try to send it through MMS I get the message saying it's too large. It doesn't give me the option to edit it and send or anything.... When I used other android devices (Hero and N1) there was an option to take "MMS Video" which I thought was pretty poor way of doing things since I could be taking a video that I then wanted to later send as MMS but didn't have the option if it wasn't taken at MMS... Shouldn't it just convert it and send it for you or something? Anyhow, I don't even see the "MMS Video" option so I figured they had fixed this and made it so it converts it for you but no dice...
2. In the web browser I can't view videos like on Vimeo etc... For some reason I was under the impression that this phone did flash? But I can't get flash videos OR HTML5 embedded videos to load. :-( Now on Vimeo, the video does appear to be there but when I hit the play button the loading bar appears, loads up to 100% and then nothing happens... and hitting the full screen toggle in the corner of the video window doesn't make it full screen either... What am I doing wrong?
3. On the mail client it doesn't seem to be rendering HTML correctly. Some of the formatting is broken and I have to tell it to load pictures each time I open a message. Is there a way to change it so it always loads all HTML and pictures? Also when I do click to load the pictures, the rendering is off and not sized correctly; I have to scroll side to side as well as up an down to view the full email. Also a lot of the text is unaligned especially around pictures. This also happens in the Gmail app too. How can I improve this?
4. In the camera App, the app works fine actually it's just odd that the controls are stuck in landscape mode and when I turn the phone to portrait the controls don't change with it... Just seems like something that should be addressed especially in out of the box apps.
5. Is there a way to arrange the order my friends are in on the people widget?
6. What's the default movie player on the Incredible and does it support subtitles/chapters? How do I get them on the device?
7. What are some good task switchers you recommend? Other than the default long press on home task switcher.
try skyfire browser for vimeo.. works well but unfortunately does not work for hulu

simple problem with photo albums

the other day i was playing around with htc albums. this app uis what i primarily use to view pics and vids. in fact it it linked to the camera app as the app that is used to view picture that you would take.
anyways, i somehow got this to show me every picture on my phone which i thought was nice and interesting, bad thing is that now every time i open this app it shows all the pics on my "device" and storage card and they are all mixed up. i want this to be like it used to be, it used to juts show the pics i have taken with the camera....
i tried to change the "favorite album" but it goes right back to showing all my pics even thumbnails in the opera temp folder
please advise
well i figured what was causing this, and the fix.
apparently booting to android causes something, prolly android, to create a thumbnails folder within my dcim folder
and it seems to make a thumbnail of all the pics it can find and drop them in this folder. it will even make thumbnails or thumbnails
this also explains why some of the pix i was taking with the cam looked like crap, because i was viewing thumbnails
fix: delete this thumbnail folder, but it will come back as soon as i boot android
just thought i'd share

Video playback issues S4

Okay so I cant get my S4 to playback the videos I've recorded.
It won't pick them up when I go to gallery or videos
The only way I can play them back is if I use a file manager or go into files and find them manually
The videos save by default in DCIM/etc... on my phones memory
The only change I did was delete the .thumbnail folder located in DCIM folder
After that the videos or pictures would not be picked up by the device
To add to this. I copied the videos and pictures in question to my external sd card
Still my s4 was unable to pick them up.
So I transferred the external sd to an old Galaxy s2 from T-Mobile that I have and to my surprise they played fine and where able to berecognized by this phone.
Again the only way I can play back the videos is if i look for them manually using FILE or another file manager.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Because aswell any video that I download and add to the phone wont playback unless I do the work around mentioned abovei

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Re-create the ".thumbnail" folder located in the DCIM folder" even if it's empty.
Then create a short video.
Then with a file manager like root explorer click on the video file you just created and
it should ask you what you want to open it with, click on the video app you want to use
as "default" for video files and be sure to click "Always".
Good luck!
