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 all,
I have a small question: I have found that i totaly never use my front camera, (the rear one neither -lack of good quality- but thats another story ey) does anybody really use it. And if so, how?
To use front camera, go to
camera (by default back camera will get turned on ) > click anywhere on the screen (except on the button to shoot fotos ) > now you will see new icon on bottom left side of screen in portrait mode (above call button) click on that icon > it will expand camera menu > now go to 'menu' ( by clicking the 'gear' wheel icon in camera menu bar > this will open 6 menu window > here you can select resolution of your both cameras and adjust brightness, white balance etc. > in that click on 'camera' button ( bottom left icon ) > Viola....front cam on. ( its actually toggle switch between front and rear camera )
Hope this answers your query.
it's to make video calls usually with VoIP or 3g. But could also use it as a make-up mirror i suppose or to see if you have ketchup in your mustache as the case may be.
What a beautiful step by step guide to activate the front cam, though i did know how to get there. But thanks just the same. Its just that I havnt found any good use for it ( the ketchup in my beard is cleaned up now, txs) . As for video calls, does anybody use it. And if so, with what software ect...
I guess to use video calls you need to have 3G connection. No other software is needed. I'm not sure though......and for VoIP i have no idea
I was going to make a small app to quickly bring up the front cam to use as a mirror as that's probably the only use I can think for it.
I have taken a few photos with it though, it's not all that bad.
from the htc dialer or yota dialer.. bottom left button looks like a webcam.. thats video call
Does no one read? The question isn't how do you access the front camera, it's if anyone knows of any good use for it due to its quality and the presence of a better camera on the back.
Hiya,
Just a though, wouldn't this be great to use as a webcam in the application skype?
The main challenge would possibly be for the app to recognise the camera.
Iv'e tried this but to no avail.
Anyone had any luck with this?
I know I posted the question, thought a search would be preferred.

On skype website (more precisely on the helping forum) they explained that it was probably impossible to use the video calling on pda phone, because of some problems of data compression (the video is compressed before it is send, and pda processors aren't fast enough to do it), and they wouldn't change everything in their software, to make it compatible between PC and pda worlds.
For now at least...
Sorry about that, it would be a nice feature with our Hermes.

However this was from an old thread, would this still apply or could there be a miracle cure out there? Could be wishful thinking, but definitely a good use for it.
Well Octro.com proved them wrong, check out the Octrotalk with videocall.
Front camera is still not working though.
I have a similar problem....
i go to camera, i click the icon to switch from back to front camera..... IMAGE IS BLACK even if i take a picture it's black.
i have also tried a video call.... image is black.
i'am on rom Dutty's 3.3 and i have also tried dutty's 2.4. same problem.
any suggestion to check if my front camera is broken ?
Hi all,
I picked up my Galaxy on Monday although I haven't really had a proper play with it yet as i'm waiting for screen protector and case first
Anyway, one thing I did try out was playing some films. Depending on the resolution of the film some of them look perfect whilst the others looked squeezed together. I remember seeing something similar on the HTC Desire when I tried it out but it had the option to adjust the ratio and make do with top and bottom borders instead.
Is this possible with the Galaxy video player as I can't seem to find an option to change the ratio?
Thanks,
Dazz
When you are playing a file... bring up the play/pause menu by tapping the screen... you'll see a box in the right hand bottom corner of the play bar... tap it to cycle the aspect ratios.

Thanks crabby thats great, I thought it was the stop button

Same here, currently optimising 98 of 136 applications...
If many apps running go to setting and developer options and put the background process on 3 or 4. But you should do this every time you turn on phone. But it help.
the update aint showing for me anymore.....straaaaange
I had the same thing, told me to update ota, thought I'd wait till I get home for wifi and when I tried it says no update available even though I clicked the notification telling me to update, strange ay

Received mine over OTA as well.
This puts the update to 4.0.4 running LRK
Quite a recent update with a date of 16 July 2012
Will check it out fully tomorrow but so far when not used (I have a S3 for main use) the battery is excellent. Turned the screen off and 3 hours later it's still at the same percentage as I last left it.
Updated OTA to 4.04 international unlocked. Seems OK - can't see much difference...

If you use the stock video player simply tap on the icon top right.
This will throw you back to the Home screens and overlay an adjustable video window which you can move and size at your will.
To get back to the video player from the window on the Home screen all you need do is tap on the second icon bottom left on the window.
Further, this also works with MoboPlayer.
To get the window to show and play on the Home screen all you have to do is press the centre button bottom of the Note. This then drops you back to the Home screen leaving the video running where you will find the same adjustable and movable window opens.
Any additional info on this new update?
I just got my note from expansys and after turning on wifi it notified me of an update. I went ahead and am currently running it now.
Is there a special way to root this new build, or can I follow steps that other's have used in the past for any ICS rom?
Thanks in advance.

Many thanks Beards.
Now I can do first part i.e. create a small window with video file and move it around but can't re-size window? a long press on small video window brings up a small "-" only? if i tap video window it goes full size?

Yes you are right sorry.... Don't know how on earth I mixed that one up!
The resizing only apply's with MoboPlayer.
There you will find underneath the video window magnifying glasses for + & - and at the end a red box with a white X to terminate the video.
P.S. You can also Pause/Play the video from the Home screen as well simply by double tapping rapidly on the video window.
Strange how the default player does not allow the resizing yet a third-party app does.
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:
Greetings people !
I have just installed Bell TV on my nexus player ... unfortunatly, those mo*******ers start the app in portrait ... navigation is pretty chaotic but I can't get the app to switch to landscape mode, like on my Nexus 7 tablet ...
Any ideas ? :victory::highfive::crying:
I don't have a Bell TV subscription anymore to test with but I doubt that much has changed since the last time you asked about this app on the Nexus Player.

"You can use an app like Ultimate Rotation Control or Set Rotation to keep it locked in landscape mode but either way, even after you log in and select a channel, there's no way to display the video in full screen mode so you'll only be able to see a small box of video in the corner of the screen. It's just not practical to use."
