[Q] Why are pictures showing as short videos in messaging app? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ever my 2.2 upgrade, pictures are showing as short videos. When I click on them they show as picture. Kind of a pain because there is always this big play arrow. What bugs me is I saw this somewhere but never saw an answer and now I can't find it back. Any answers to this one yet?

my phone has done this since i got it in august 2010

I posted this recently in the Firefly Q&A thread. I was sure too that this only showed up after upgrading - either a Firefly issue or a 2.2 issue. I didn't remember it happening when I was on stock 2.1. But others assured me that it's just the way Android does it - even on 2.1. Some even said regular dumbphones will show MMS pictures as little videos.

Homescreen background on all Tabs?

Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me
id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??
Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!
bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!
/signed =)
Looked in the files, but have't found a way to do it :\

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S
well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond
I'd also love to get an answer to this.
This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Lol, that's exactly what I assumed. The 'till' made me think twice, but getting back on topic. I'd love to have this also.
another vote from me also. this would be a nice bit of customization to have..

Sorry that may bad english confused you all. I meant: It is not possible at the moment.
Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?
This would be a very cool feature
it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.
sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

Facebook App Update 1.3

Having issues downloading and installing, can someone post the apk please?
Really, no one thats looked at this can pull and post the apk real quick?
I was coming here to find out the same thing.
Also if anyone knew if it has sync (I'm unsure as to if the official one has it on any of the android versions since the version I'm using has it but it was from an apk I got here on xda).

Thanks for posting the app!

Oh whoops. I read your post as "it doesn't have sync" lol
Haha ok I figured that might have been the issue, looking back I could have worded that better to make it more clear.
Seems the app has major battery drain issues though (which went back to normal after I turned notifications off, sync is still on though), so be aware.
I grabbed mine from here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/facebook-for-android
Can anyone give me a reason to use this app instead of the FB touch site? As far as I can tell, the touch site does everything the app does, and even more.
The main reasons I use it is for the contacts sync and the (not very good) widget.
How come when I click sync now for my facebook friends it doesnt update their new photos it shows their old photos in contacts
anyone have an idea

Any ideas how to uncensor my youtube app?

So i discovered the october ota update actually locked the Safesearch filtering option in the youtube app (it's all grayed out). Are there any ways to fix this besides just searching the vids thru the m.youtube site? It annoys me, cuz i can't find my favorite music video cuz it has 'Dickhead ' in the title!

Might try and uninstall it and get one from another build. Shocked others havent noticed. I dont use it much myself so never noticed. Just checked the one on froyo and its not locked.
Yep, AT&T blocked this. See below for the app from a Fascinate dump. I removed the AT&T one, pushed this using ADB. It's unblocked.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that definitely worked to downgrade the youtube app, but did i lose the HQ button with the old version?

Never noticed this but yes. I never use the app anyway. You could always flash Froyo and use a browser with Flash.

Also I've seen this being an issue on HTC Evo on Sprint, and also one of Motorola's Droids on Verizon so is/was every carrier doing this? It's pretty pathetic. I mean I get the idea of SafeSearch for kids but to have that turned on for everyone? Oh no I might see a video with a swear word! I'm not a child, and the "Being a Dickhead's cool" song is hardly offensive anyway. PS funny song by the way.
1.6.20(E) seems to be having this in every version. I guess the E stands for "emasculated". None of the other Youtube versions seem have the (E).

When I ask Corporate America to become my parent or protect me from evil, you'll be sure to see it in the headlines. Until then, I have two great parents, who have taught me right from wrong and how to act in public and etc.. I don't need some third party to protect me from the evils of the internet.
Give me my uncensored internet! And thanks for the fix Cappysw10!
So I went back to 1.6.20(emasculated) edition and will use the work around to search youtube's mobile site instead of through the app. But what I'm planning to do is try to talk to Samsung about this because I want to see the response. The HTC people have been blaming Sprint about this. But I heard it was fixed in Froyo... so if we can only get that..
What I think actually happened is the guys that wrote the app somehow disabled the adjustment. It could actually be a bug, instead of willful censorship like we are assuming. I've had programs in windows that have grayed menu settings based on some faulty registry settings.
There appears to be an update for the YouTube app in the market that fixes this now. It does allow you to alter the SafeSearch parameters. Check it out.
um can you be more specific about the update? like the full name so i can find it

Anyone Have The Latest Facebook.apk?

The latest market has this issue with telling me apps aren't compatible with my device, and it just decided Facebook is no longer compatible. I removed it and went to download it again but it won't let me.
Can someone post a link for me to the apk, please.

Sorry to hear, but it's good to hear at the same time. I've been getting that a lot as well and am tired of it. I thought it was just specific to us in Belgium. Is that Google's way of getting us to upgrade from the N1?

Yeah, Yahoo Fantasy Football says its not compatible as well. I've been seeing it lately out of no where. It's really frustrating.
Are you guys using density changer? I read in another thread that it will cause the not compatible issue.

Yes I am. I changed it back to normal for a day and got the same results. Should I of waited longer?
I do mine manually through build.prop but yes, I do change it.

That was it. Reset to 240 (N1 default), cleared all cache from Market 3.1.3, basically running it for the first time, and I had 18 updates available. Thanks for the advise!!
I didn't have any issue with the update for Facebook at all.

Time Stamp for Call History?

Just switched from iOS to Android (used to be an active member of the forums for WinMo), so forgive me as I know this has been asked before, but I didn't find any results in HTC ONE forum. I am having issues with the call history. It doesn't show a time only the date. There has to be a way to fix this on the stock dialer but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings. Any advice would be ideal. I prefer not to download a third party app for this fix but if this is the only way that would be fine, I guess. Thank you in advance.

Good question. 4.3 Sense 5
Date and time for text messaging only date for call history. It's annoying and I'm already over the 14 day mark otherwise I would return the device for that simple reason.

Yes, I'm have the same issue. I just got mine a week ago and installed the upgrade to 4.3 soon afterwards. The software on HTC One is not as intuitive as other phones I have had. The time of call is a basic and important part of call information, so it's beyond comprehension how anyone could leave this off.
I will contact HTC, and hopefully they will include a fix in their next update. How ridiculous to forget something like this. They seemed to have focused on doing a great job on the hardware and completely ignored UX on this phone.
