Two questions about it on the Streak.
1. When a vidoe pops up, hitting the menu button gives you an option of viewing the video in HD. Anyway to make this default (so all are viewed in HD automatically)?
2. The videos are not full screen, but I see no option to make it this way? Is there a way to automatically view them "full screen"? I mean, we have a 5" screen, need to capitalize...lol

the videos work awesomely! but is hter any way to get the videos to go full screen?

hi i currently using the android 2.3.2 my question is.....
when was using windows 6.5 i could watch you tube videos in full screen and high quality,now using android 2.3.2 and you tube videos will not open in full an are poor quality although bbc iplayer plays full screen and high quality.
is this a problem for everyone using android on there htc hd2 or is it just me missing something?
I am using HyperdroidGBX v5 which is 2.3.2 though could be cooked differently than whatever you are using. I use the Youtube app v 2.1.6 for to access my youtubes. When in the app hit the middle hard button and select "settings". The first setting is "High quality on mobile", this should be checked to get HQ videos. To get the video in full screen just double tap it or turn your phone on its side. When in full screen you should see a button in the upper right corner of the video that sais HQ. The green light under it should be on if it is HQ and you can press the button to toggle between HQ and SQ.
Anyway, that is how it works for me.
thanks its now in hd still not full screen though iv been in the settings and theres nothing there to set screen size,ive got about 1cm of a black line either side the playing video when in full screen.
Hi everyone,
i think thread title says it all...
I already hated this stupid mobile view of websites in my Android smartphone.
Now it sucks even more on my tablet. i want to see webpages in desktop view style. I have found no way to change that in the stock browser.
Only in the Dolphin HD browser I an choose wether I want mobile or desktop views of website. And it even works. But actually I would prefer the stock browser.
Thank you.

Try This:
1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter (it will appear that nothing changed).
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.
That should make it load the "desktop" versions of websites for you!
any chance of getting this change to stick? It seems that I have to change this every time I start the browser.

You change this once and then the change wil persist
only sticks until you reboot,kind of annoying wish someone could write a script or something to automate this.
Sorry but either will lose setting periodically for no apparent reason. Absolutely needs to be automated.
i would love this too..
Hi all as I said in the title, when i stream a video in the browser (not chrome) and i tap the fullscreen button in landscape mode the softkeys hide and appear continuously, doesn't matter if i'm on youtube, facebook or another site.
i made a video to explain better the situation:
sorry for the quality, i record it with my old phone but the issue is visible.
The same thing happens to someone?
is there a solution?
EDIT: forgot to tell that i'm on the stock google 4.2.2 no root, no unlock, no custom kernel.
and yes I've searched on google but i found nothing.
Maybe because it's a video watched from your browser, so whenever you're reading text, looking at a picture or watching a video, soft keys will appear.
What's your current browser ?
Did you try with another browser ?
eydesy inflam
currently i use dolphin, but the same was with boat browser.
this happens when i hit the fullscreen button so the text is not visible, i don't think that is because of it.
can u try to stream a video with dolphin on youtube or somewhere in landscape and in fullscreen?
that happens u too?
I tried, and when I hit the full screen button it actually shows the soft keys. But when I hit wherever on the screen again the soft keys disappear. Do you hit again the screen after your video is played in full screen mode ?
nop i click fullscreen button and nothing more. but if i click on the video nothing changes, still loop of hide and show.
EDIT: new info the issue not happen when i stream 4:3 videos but only when the video fits all the screen (16:9 videos)
Could you please provide the video link so that we can test?
http : / / youtu.be/IgeTCK8UIgo
remove the spaces from the url, but on youtube u can find a lot of 16:9 videos and the issue appear the same
there is a bug in Youtube too, if you play a video and do nothing, softkeys are hiding but if you touch the screen, grey button remplace the Home Back and Recents keys and its not hiding

Well, you're not the only one ! I suggest you to watch videos from the YouTube app.
thx, possible that nobody noticed that?? :silly:
Hello everyone, im doing this just to share with everyone the information that i ve found about this amazing, rare and forgotten watch, since is discontinued, the information its soo limited but the watch has a lot of pottential, just need a bit of patience and new aplications, sorry if my english its bad or weird because is not my first languaje.
First i need to give a BIG credits to @benzersizadam thanks to his post "Apps and Recovery" i found a way to add or so-so add watchfaces and gif animated watchfaces to the watch, giving a incredible look to the watch, this is the way that i ve found and maybe will be a better and optimized way to do the same with another apps, so be free and please use this post to share with everyone your own methods, your new watchfaces, gift watchfaces or a better notification app that works, that you do or find, together we can do a great post.
First: the watch resolution is: 192x960 and the watch denstity is 240p.
I ve tried a lof of apps, versions of the apps and wathever, and to be honest this apps and versions are the best that i can find to work with the watch, i will share to you all apps that i used but if you dont trust or dont feel secure you can search by yourself on google.
First i recommend to you this Windows App, its called "Scrcpy" I used this app to control the watch using my windows PC and it works flawsly, this help me a lot to the configurations easly, you only need to conect the watch to USB and thats all. open the exe and you can control the watch, if you dont want to use the tool you can do the configurations direct on your watch.
(sometimes the app just open a black CMD screen and closes really fast, just execute again and will work).
As you will know its completely impossible to update the watch, dont matter what you do, i contacted nubia support by email and they just say, "update files are confidentials and we cant provide, that, the only way to update its to send the watch to our centers on Hong Kong... buh, im on CHILE! its not possible.
So i start to try ways to fix the watch faults, and im happy with results.

OMNI GIFT : Version 3.5
Floating Clock : Version 1.1.5
Edge Lightning : Version 3.0.9
Bubble Notifications : Version: 1.0.39 stand
Hidden Settings : 1.7.5
This are the first magic apps.
Now After has this apps installed, now open Hidden Settings and search for: Accessibility(Settings$AccesibilitySettings)
]
there you will see a black screen with some white dots, these dots are activators but the background its black and the letter font are black too so you cant read, now will enable a way to read:
Just up an count 6 dot and enable that number 6 dot, you will enable a contrast on letters and this way you can read all the hidden menu. feel free to explore the watch hidden options on this point but BE CAREFUL because some options like add a new profile for example are unreversible and can damage the watch software and you will brick the watch and theres no way to enter recovery if you got stuck on nubia logo and dont exist a stock rom to flash so BE CAREFULL and its your own responsability to not damage the watch.
This is what you will see (doing this in reverse is needed after finish all the setup to revert the white letters contrast because it affects all the watch interface).
Now search again for: Settings(Settings$AdvancedApps)
Here go to "Special Access" on the bottom and Select "Draw Over The Other apps" and enable the opcion for Bubble Notifications, Floating Clock and Edge Lightning Apps.
Then go back and select "Notification Access" and enable for Bubble Notifications and Edge Lightning Apps.
Now you can go back and disable the option on accesibilty to contrast the font.
i mean, disable, this option again.
FOR THE EDGE LIGHTS
Open Edge Ligthning and select the enable option and keep service active option too
Now swipe with the finger to the left and move to the other Tab there go down and select the "Specific Application" tab.
Go Down and enable the apps that has and basic green "android" logo. there will be two.
here you can adjust the notification colors of the notification. Now feel free to just explore the app and configure the notifications exactly like you want.
IN SOME CASES YOU CANT READ WHAT THE OPTION SAYS SO: i recommend to install the same app on your phone, by this way you can read what are you doing on the watch..
Now: in the same tab enable this option:
and go to the "Advanced Settings" option and select this option:
Selecting this will do the watch screen power on and do the edge lightning effect with every notification that you receibe, of course this use more battery but thats the point of this app, and the watch looks so cool on the wrist.
FOR THE NEW NOTIFICATIONS SYSTEM:
First install this app on your phone because has a lot of options that you cant read on the watch due for the density.
Open the app on the watch and enable the notifications pressing the cloud bubble button on the bottom...
Now press the three dots on the bottom left and there you can find the configurations, feel free to set up the notifications like you want, in this point you need to see what are the options on your phone because its not readable on the watch, its very important to enable the option to remove the default notifications because if you dont enable the app will not work.
the rest its just optionals and personal settings..
this is how the notifications will see:
bubble expanded:
The notifications are no the best, but they re readable, and you have separated notifications by bubbles on the bottom, its completely better that the default notifications.
NOW THE BEST PART. NEW WATCHFACES.
First open the Floating Clock Appand you will se a floating watch in the screen, click again the app logo and will open the interface, there you can personalice your watch very nice.
check "auto start on reboot" and personalize the watch as you like.
You will get this a this point:
you can close the watch entering on the app settings a select "exit" option,
For the background Open the Omni Gif App.
This is the end of the first part because i cant attach more than 20 images and i wan to do a great post.
I will continue on the second post just down.
Part 2:
This is a fast point.
When you open the app you will see for two second the right panel option that includes a gear, that gear is the app settings option so you need to open the app and really fast click on it before the panel auto close. (if you can't catch, just close the app and open again, the panel will expand it again).
thats the gear.
Now you can configure the app there
Enable this options:
- Show JPG Files on Local Storage
- Anti Alias When redendering GIF
- Rotate Gift Instread Screen
- Keep Screen On When Playing (Enable this option ONLY if you want to keep the screen on always, of course reduces the watch battery a looot, maybe last for 2:30hr to 3hr with this option, its great for show it on a party for example)
Now go back and its almost done.
Remember the watch resolution is 192x960 and dpi 240
You need to put in your watch internal memory using your PC, images with that resolution and you will see the images in the Omni gift APP, just open the image and you are done, you can add gif images and do "zoom" pressing two times with a finger keeping the finger and swiping down, because the watch has no pitch to zoom capability or the muti touch its really capped. (i will upload some videos later).
This is my gallery now:
Examples:
i created this images by myself using Paint NET Because its easy and simple.
Troubleshooting:
The watch its very capped so constantly refuses to external modifications, so you will have some normal problems with the bubble notification app sometimes.
If you enable the bubble notifications at firts and the bubble doesnt appear you need to force a bit the app to work, how? well, look a this option, its on the start screen of the app. You need to select "Tap here to test bubble"
And the watch will vibrate and the bubble will appear, if the bubble doesnt appear you need to touch and touch that option many times trying to force the bubble to come out, alternate this with closing and opening again the app and pressing the option many times. If the bubble still refucing to appear you need to reboot the watch and try again. Eventually the bubble will appear and works normally.
After you see the bubble appear dont worry about it because will never stop working, if you close the app or just close the bubble on the X still working, will pop up again with another new notification. The problem is only with the first bubble. BUT every time the watch reboot you need to do this procedure again if the bubble doesnt appears. so i recommend to not let the watch fully discharge or reboot constantly because the problem will be very annoying haha.
RECOMENDATIONS:
Every time that you reboot the watch, you need to open manually all the installed apps because they will not auto boot on boot doesnt matter if you check or not the auto boot option.
So you will need to open the edge light app, floating clock app and bubble notification app and on this last you need to do the procedure to do the bubble work if the bubble doesnt appear after a few trys a new reboot is required, once the bubble come out you're done.
A extra is that you can use the File Explorer+ app to Delete apps, backup app, and move files or edit folders in the watch, works very good.
