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

Downloading now...
After using it for a few mins... Cool new little app, but ide rather stick to using HTC streaming media/internet explorer combo.
Cons:
-Cant clear/erase any text in input boxes by hitting the back button, it will end up being used like a normal back button command and return you to previous programs/home screen. Very annoying, you will have to close the program and reopen it to reuse the search field.
-No option to sign into your own YouTube account like you can on m.youtube.com. I like being able to go to my favorites and my videos. You cant do this with this application.
Pros:
-Very fast and simple layout.
-The video buffers extremely fast and the video/sound quality is superior to HTC Streaming Media Player.
-Seems to be stable.
Youtube
Yes anyone whos new here u want HTC_Streaming_Media. Cab file, forget about anything else to use YouTube.

Seems like a nice YouTube app, except I can't get any sound on my Dash. Any suggestions?
Does this Youtube app, load an icon into programs? or does it make a folder in programs ?

Load a video then press up, mine had no sound til I pushed up on the D-Pad and got the players slid bar.
Not a bad app, but too limited, SvB4EvA review is spot on

Thx Bup!
I notied how the built in social network engine on the touch pro 2 has been removed. Is there a way to re-ad this feature to the touchpro 2..? I have seen various CAB files to open this up on ROM's for the fuze/original touch pro but are there any that make it work with the touch pro 2..? Also, may be a stupid question as I'm pretty sure I know the answer... Does this phone have any capability yo go into the youtube app when clicking on a youtube link send via email or text message like some other phones... IE - Iphone, android, etc. In the past, I have seen windows just load up the default browser instead and we all know that opera does not support flash to make this happen. And even if you install the flash lite 3, half the time it will NOT work or the video frame rate will be poor. Is there a way around it or has windows mobile just not evolved to this stage yet..?
I thought that these were posted already in the forum but wasn't sure.

Youtube is also already built into the TP2 and should be in your programs. You can't auto-launch it with a link unless stuff gets hardcoded as Youtube Application links.

No, I'm talking about the social network engine within the HTC album interface that was originally introduced with the touch HD. It was ripped when TF3D2 was ripped. Now the newer versions of TF3D2 do NOT have it running. The way it works is, you take a picture or choose an existing in the album, then it will give you options to either send a pic to facebook or send a video to youtube. Also the network settings for this were located in settings. This is where you would enter & save your youtube and facebook login settings. Then there was an uploader option in settings to allow you to view your upload progress.
Youtube from Album
Yes, I remember this one, on my HD I was able to send several videos directly to youtube. but now with my TP2, the option to login and send the files is not there any more. The Youtube app doesn't have the option to upload videos either.
I remember seeing a post for this that had some other issues with it like other parts of the album not working once they got this working again....
any real solutions.
Keep up the great work guys,
Ali.
This is the only thread I know about for the TP2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469106
However, it didn't work for me, I'm still looking for a solution.
Not sure if its what you want but Microsoft MyPhone will share pictures etc. for you to certain networks...
I've noticed on a few forum based websites when people imbed video clips such as youtube ones, I can't play them.
They either appear as a blank area which does nothing when I click on it or I just get an egg timer come up but the video never loads.
Only happens on my Desire and not on my laptop.
Phones arn't properly built to really play embedded video. Skyfire does play it a lot better than all other browsers but the website also needs to optimize it for phones but they don't. This isn't an issue as such, just something that needs to be addressed.
Thanks very much for the reply.
I noticed yesterday that even when I click on a link to a youtube clip (an address not just an imbedded video link) it seems to simply take me to a main youtube menu screen with a number of clips on it but not the actual clip I was linking to?!!
Anyone any ideas why that might be?
Download Miren Browser from the market en make sure you have flash installed. Then it should work
Then set the user agent to Default browser or Chrome. This way you can also view clips that are disabled for mobile view.
So I like highlights and all but it's a bit confusing to navigate through all the required options.....for now I'm wondering what is the purpose of the highlight button? All it seems to do is add it to a new album folder called highlights but it does not actually make a video highlight.....
And when installing NOS Rom I think I removed something important for HTC share because I can't login or use HTC share at all. Any idea what apk id have to reflash ? Thanks .

Highlights is a highlight of photos from an event or such grouped into a small video... It works just fine for me... You have to save it after editing or viewing the highlight.

No those are the 30 second "highlight videos", which also work well for me. I'm tallking about when you go into your camera shots, view a photo, tap for more details, there's option to share delete and also "highlight" and star it. When I do this it does not make a highlight reel but only makes an album in my gallery for highlighted shots almost like starred or favorites (not the 30 second highlight video)

Looks like it just creates another folder with anything you highlight. May just be that...a way to look through all of your photos and pick which ones you like. Then they get organized so you can easily see just them
Actually a good idea. I use the HTC device to quickly shows stuff on the tv screen at work. I take a lot of picts for meetings and this would allow me to quickly pick ones I just want to show then. Not have to flick through them all during the meeting.
** By the way...the Media Link HD is something they did very well. By far the most reliable, quickest and easiest device to quickly show videos, pictures, Music, your screen (quickly show web pages live etc) that anyone has made. We also have Apple TV and Samsung media devices at work. This one just dominates them. And it is sooo portable. I bring it on the road so watch movies in the rooms.

Makes sense I suppose. Also very cool with media link...
Question: when you save/export the auto generated 30 second video highlights it is saved as a video file. Why on earth can you not upload this to HTC share? It says video is not supported .....
I mean to clarify, how many times will I receive the default application message for my often repeated selection? I select youtube and 'always', the message appears that I can change it in my settings if I need to. I am at a different website, I choose a video. Hey, here's that crafty default application request again, do I want to select youtube? Just like the last time 'always'. Just like the last time the message appears that I can change it in my settings if I need to.
Make it stop.
I didn't know youtube could become a default app. Actually, the youtube app is disabled on my N4 as I only watch vids through my browser.
It sounds like you have more than one app like the youtube app that can play online vids. Did you install one or more? If you did, try uninstalling them or disabling them. That way, perhaps the youtube app will be the only one and become the default like you want it to.
Also, I'm sure the youtube app is only affiliated with youtube videos. Hence when on another site, are you expecting "any" type of video to play in the youtube app? I don't think that's going to happen.
