Alternatives to gallery

I'm currently using Fusion Rom 2.2 and every time I try to go onto an individual picture I get a force close. So, does anyone have any suggestions of to which (if any) alternative picture viewers are available on the android market? Any help would be appreciated

I use just picture, as I don't like gallery 3d.

Screen Distorted

I just got this new MyTouch 4G here and it's been working well all day. While waiting on a red light in my car tonight, I turn on the screen and I see this. It's on 2.2 (no OTA). Has anyone seen this happen on this phone?
I uploaded the short vid to youtube. Pardon my voice, it was recorded on a MyTouch Slide.

Edit: I wanted to watch the video on the YouTube app (on the phone) and after I watched and backed out of it, the screen flipped out again!

My phones been doing the crazy screen flippy thing as well. I'm new to the mt4g (coming from the g2)... But I assumed this was a known issue with the youtube update...but is it not? Is the flippy screen thing an issue I should be concerned about?

There's nothing wrong with the phone... its a known youtube bug in the updated app

I just uninstalled the update and used the preinstalled version.

Off topic but what kind of case is that you have in the video?

Funny, I thought I was the only with this issue as I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they wanted me to exchange the device. I fixed it myself since the phone is fine otherwise. Since I was on 2.1 I simply followed the 2.21 update instructions and have a rooted phone now with a functional YouTube update.
I have a video of it is as well but I'm restricted from posting links since I'm not "verified".

Thanks guys. The issue was resolved after installing the OTA. I didn't have this issue on my first MT4G so my first reaction was hardware issue. Then I accidentally tried playing my YouTube video back and realized it was the app.
Thanks for the help!

MMS Max Size... now 300k? Wtf

Ever since I rooted my phone my mms size has been set to 300 max and it use to be 1000k... what's the issue. Someone please help!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Go to your messaging app then hit Menu>Settings>Scroll down to Maximum Message Size, then Select 1000k.

I know but its not there... its 100, 200 or 300

Did a factory restore with RM... all good now. Wish I knew what started it though because it must've done something to my mms registry. Ah well lol

I'm glad the reset worked! I was at a loss as to what happened! Never heard of that happening before.

Now the next question, does anyone know how to choose the compression rate? My pics always get compressed so small they look terrible.

+1 Compression rate is way to high. Anyone?

Wait im confuzed! Mine is stuck at 300kb max ughh

HTC has never really put a lot of stock in their cameras. The compression is horrible on HTC phones. I use an app called Camera 360. It allows you to set the compression, or to take pics with no compression.
File sizes are now around 2MB for each image and you can see a marked difference.
Give it a try. It's all I use now.

Lmfao... seriously? I have no idea what caused it dude. But I had to reset that sucker... so far so good.

I'm not sure if this applies to android, but there is a sort of "anti piracy" measure that comes with how video files are played on windows and mac systems. taking a screenshot of your desktop always returns a black screen of where the video is at. There are some softwares out there for pc and mac that can override the settings, but I do not know of one for android. There's probably one, i just dont know it.

I've used an app called "freeze frame" to do what you want.

Sony has an application on the market for this called Frame Grabber

Reboot and see what happens.

Have done that a few times, I thought the cause was changing the kernel.. so I cleared cache etc.. and re installed and still nothing

I changed my kernal to faux kernal and now it works fine... looks like that was the cause.. try that
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

It,s not kernal cause I flashed sense rom with snq,s kern. and also villain with richard,s kern. and all the same...
Sent by mesage in the bottle ...

Nope, it,s not cashe, cause I don't have it at all..
It,s empty allready. I flashed few sense rom,s and then restore nand off my old rom (villain) and every time did full wipe, also changed few hboots etc. Something,s generaly wrong here due to the fact that I get bootloops on roms I normaly flashed before... now bootloops. Nothing to do with hboots or sdcard, I pay attention on rom needs : )

Same problem
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I've flashed my phone plenty of times and this is the first time this has happened...it's frustrating

I've posted on this months ago and I guess no one else found a soultion....atleast not in this thread...but from what i've been hearing from other people with the mt49 it could be a problem since the shipment of the phone. I was told from someone else with the same phone that they had the same issue and it turned out that his phone just had a defective camera =/. But now I have a Sensation 4g. I just wanted to put that info out there. If you're still using the MT4G and have warranty on it I suggest you just send it back to get fixed. Thats what I did and it came back working perfectly. Yes it was time consuming but cheaper then buying a new phone at the time. I still have my MT and use it when im working long hours and my sensation dies
