It looks like the Touch and Shoot feature disables automatically after the camera resolution is changed. After that, there is no way to get it back other than to clear the camera app's data. I'd like to use Touch & Shoot with a higher resolution, has anyone been able to do this? If not, why doesn't it get re-enabled automatically after I change the resolution back to the default setting? A bit of a let down but hoping someone can offer some advice.

Try to cancel the camera app data...
Otherwise reset the phone.

I know this sounds stupid but did you make sure the top and bottom buttons are off the display too? It won't work if they are. You could try one if the camera mods in the dev section maybe they will help.

Whats hard to understand, he's looking for an app to change the trackball color when you recieve a call or text. Which I dont think is out yet since theres no full root
What the OP is missing in the post is the word notification.
The top battery led indicator (see page 16 of the G2 user manual "Notification LED") doesn't flash as notification of missed calls, e-mail, etc and a fix should be available soon. I contacted HTC and that's what they told me.
Trackpad notification indicator

One more thing, HTC refers to it as a Trackpad, not "Digital track ball".
See post #31.

Cyanogen has written a file than enables notification. It works for me, but would need to be reinstalled at each reboot.
Try the app noLED. Not perfect, but a decent alternative work-around.

I'd be careful with this...this was made for the amoled screens and it worked well because it only needed to light that small portion of the screen. lcd's are backlit. This has the potential to kill your battery crazy fast.

I love this work-around. I only use it for texts tho, but have yet to see any battery drain.
perhaps i'll leave it on for a while and see if theres any big hits.
I have searched.
Anyway, I am just looking for a camera app that has touch to focus. I can't seem to find one on the market. Anything will work really, as long as it doesn't require root or anything in that matter. Is there one?
look on the market for xperia play camera mod, lets you use the L button for focus and R button for taking a picture.
I have that, not exactly what I'm looking for. I want to be able to touch the area I want to be focused. Thanks though
Sent from my R800x using XDA App
I'd love that option too. My dad's xperia neo can do that, why the hell the play wont?
It's such a nice option and gives a lot more flexibility to compose better pictures.
I know right?
I'll have to keep looking around..
Anyone else?
Please post when/if you find one. I've not encountered one yet and i've tried quite a few camera apps from Market.
Regards Dousan...
Try fast burst camera. There's an icon in app where you have to tap and do manual focusing first before shooting.. Good for sports shots too, this is what i'm using to capture some skateboard tricks of my friends..
I haven't given up yet...still looking.
EDIT: I found one! It's called Camera360 Ultimate(I think the free version will work too).
To enable the Touch to Focus:
Press the settings(the gear) in the upper right hand corner>Favorite Settings Tab>In the first drop down box, select "Press to focus, and click shooting button..."
Yes,camera360 can make it.But it locked some functions until you pay for it or you had use a China Telecommunications operator.....

What now? I am confused at what you are trying to say...
long distance shooting? not so long distance shooting with the subject alone is the sharp one? or you want some bokeh shots?

Just want to make sure, it will focus where you touch right? Because otherwise it'll just be like the [amazing] app that focus with L and shoots with R, which is easier to handle.

Anyone know how to create the red/blue static thats in the Battlefield 3 menu when youre respawning? Or at least what the effect is called.
You would need adobe after effects. If u mean as a still picture then its easy on Photoshop.

You could do a HTML/JS (or HTML 5) rollover effect when the mouse rolls over the image it switches to the staticy-broken one like on battlelog.
Do a search for "HTML javascript image rollover"

I love the SGS2 but it sucks extremely that you are pretty much forced to take pictures in landscape mode as any pictures taken in portrait mode are send upside down in landscape... This appears to be a Samsung issue with most devices.
Does this bug anyone else but me? Me having a major OCD for this.. makes me miss my old EVO 4G
Any fix to this other than having to try and edit the pictures or taking pictures in landscape.
Here is a link to further describe the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ure-always-returns-1-for-exifinterface-tag-or
EDIT: For anyone who wants to attempt and fix this.. Found this old thread form 2010. They used a custom patch/fix to save the correct orientation.

Nothing really just regular setup. I remember some sensor aided setting under location but I'm not sure that affects this issue.

You can't do that when it only rotates the pictures when you try to send them via MMS.

I wish it was that simple but that makes me look more foolish attempting to rotate it then sending it. Only to end up finding out the picture is once again being send wrong lol...

Yeah I noticed this on my samsung captivate and thought oh well It is maybe a software issue. I flashed CM7 and CM9 to my epic touch just now to test out if it was the way software is coded but no... Same results. Must be the way hardware is setup.
have the same issue. my girlfriend and i both have the epic touch, and the mms pics are never sent in a straight orientation. therefore, we just use dropbox.
Is this actually unique to our phone? I'd be surprised if so. See, most phones and cameras handle rotation not by actually taking the photo in portrait, but via EXIF metadata that notes the orientation in which the photo's supposed to be displayed. I'm guessing the MMS software is merely ignoring this EXIF data. The photos display fine in everything else that supports it, but the MMS app doesn't. If that's the case, I would assume this is more common than on merely our phone.
That said, I rarely if ever use MMS anyway. If I can email the photo at a much higher quality, I normally prefer to do so.
If anyone is a dev that happens to read this... In an older samsung model they fixed this annoying bug with a custom package. I'll attach them to the OP in case anyone wants to try and compared the fixes to try making us one.

Neither have I that I know of. I just tried it to make sure I was not just over looking the issue.
Either orientation saves the way I took the pic, and sends that way as well using GOSMS.
I think when I send a portrait picture with the stock messaging app its fine but when you use handcent it turns it sideways.

That's odd, trying emailing yourself the picture. I encounter this issue while using a skype sharing conference with ex co workers. I also have it when trying to send pictures via MMS. I even encounter it when sharing pictures on simple chatting applications. I'm convinced it's a samsung issue that they choose to over look lol =(
Using Vignette camera application... I'm able to successfully share pictures I take in portrait position with it! I thought I'd let others know. =)

Thats exactly what happens to me. It seems Samsung has a weird way of determining orientation and their messaging app is built to send them correctly. However sending thru third party apps, uploading to fb, or even xda app you get them sideways. This is very annoying and stupid and is a Samsung problem on all their phones.

Why wouldn't you take a pic in landscape? It has only been since the iPhone era that people have really started taking photos and videos vertically, and personally, I can't stand it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I usually always take pictures in landscape now just because I don't want my friends to have to keep turning their phone to view it. If I take a picture of someones face then I might take a portrait picture. I emailed Handcent about the issue a few times but they never replied back.

Rotate it once the wrong way, then rotate it back, and it will save as the correct orientation when you go to send the MMS.
Annoying, but not the end of the world.
I hope someone can help me out with this (I guess most of my posts arent worth bothering with as they usually go untouched by anyone). I'm trying to figure out a way to disable the touch button backlight on a Google Edition ROM. I have been searching for an answer since the Google Edition hit. All I can ever find is how to disable on GSIII ROMs (non ge). If anyone can please help me out I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

Screen Filter is an app that can disable the backlight of the softkeys. Set it to auto-start at boot and you should be good. I know its not a direct fix but its a low impact app that shouldnt effect battery life or operation.

Seems to work for me. Did it dim the screen at all (thats its main function)? Did you see the check box "enable softkey back light" (uncheck it) at the bottom of the app ui?

Yes, it did dim the screen, but if i uncheck the enable softkey back light, anytime I touch the screen the backlights still come on. Are you on a G.E. rom? I am currently on Infamouse G.E.

No im not. I am on AOSP (Slim Bean) though.
There are options to do this in AOKP and CM roms. Anybody know how those builds pull it off?
