Software to make video.. in background

Hi,
I was happy with my old nokia because it has a software that makes photo or video even if the program was running in background, so that it was invisible. And with my old nokia I was able to find the thief in my apartment (it was a friend of mine...).
Now that I have my new Diamond I cannot find a software that can take photo or make video in background, so that if someone will find my diamond, he cannot think that it is recording, and so he will never destroy my htc!!
Any ideas?

this is the dumbest idea ive heard, just purchase a cheap security camera, if not get a webcam and recording software. Even better how bout you don't leave your diamond alone so it cant be found, stole and destroyed like u say.

No, I cannot use other things.. I need something that could be placed everywhere in my house, and that is familiar, like my htc!
Look at these photos taken with my old nokia:
My cotenant cannot suspect of my htc if it seems turned off, and it cannot be stolen by my cotenant (because it is a too clamorous theft).

if hes your theif then put the htc down and start throwing some slaps, if u want you can easily set your diamond to record video but set the option under power in system to turn off display but still stay on

You should not post those pictures in public.

if the thief see your htc diamond,you think that he will let it and not take it?in that way,you will lose and your diamond

It's clear that you don't have a thief brain!! If you are my cotenant, you cannot steal something too big! It must be something that when you'll realize that it is stolen you may think "maybe I have lost it!!" and not "one of my cotenant has stolen it!!".
No? That's why I can use my phone to do this work.

Nowadays if you check the net, there are lots of spy cameras that comes in 1001 shape and sizes. You yourself will not even notice it after a while. Best is also get the wireless ones....wired is a no no...you might even get sued by the person you wanna take picture of.
Since the guy who is doing this is your friend, go and slow talk with that guy...have a beer and call it even...if he still insist in going in your apartment, then its time to spend on some padlocks.

Thanks to all, but we are in Diamond software forum, so we are off topic if we speak about spycam!
What is happening to me is not related to Diamond software. I know that there are other possibility than using my diamond, but I'm here to find a way to use the diamond!
so, please, keep in topic this thread.

Donate My Crushed G1

Please be kind to me as this is my first post on XDA although I have been reading and utilizing these forums for quite some time. If this question has already been addressed, please let me know. I have already searched the forum and was unable to find anything on the subject but perhaps I wasn't as diligent as I could have been.
I left my G1 on the roof of my car and it fell off and was run over by a car. I already ordered a new one which will arrive in two days (I do nightly nandroid backups so all is well in that department). I would, however, like to donate the crushed G1 to one of the developers on this site so that they can salvage it for parts. Believe it or not, I was actually able to boot to the recovery screen and do a wipe (Alt-W). Obviously I could not see this as the screen is crushed but it rebooted after I hit Back+Home so I am pretty certain that there are some valuable working parts for someone who knows what they are doing.
I have taken advantage of the ROMs on this forum for awhile (Kavana's WinMo 6.1) as well as How-To posts (Apps2SD, Rooting G1, Nandroid, MAM, etc.) and countless other posts to keep my phone in perfect working order, and would like to give at least a little back to the hard working developers here. I would like a moderator to assist me in getting the phone into the hands of the right developer. I am sure it has some value to someone. I am pretty certain that the motherboard is in working condition as well as the keyboard and various other parts (it still vibrates on boot). I don't know much about hardware as I am largely a developer and a user. I don't want to take it apart only to find out that I have ruined what was once a good part. Ebay was an option but I figure that I will actually get more value out of donating it since XDA is literally my lifeline and smartphones would just plain suck without this site.
Please reference the attached photos. Sorry they are not so great. They were taken on my Dash because I was too lazy to take out my good camera.
Post replies here and we can go from there.
Thanks,
Aaron

Cool I'm sure someone will find this useful. You might want to save the battery so you have two

heres a solution

I believe you should donate it to one of the members working on finding the jtag pins so the people who were effected by the spl brick might have a second chance

Amazon sells them as well for about $7 + $3 for shipping.. OEM, safe..never had issues..

I am keeping the battery which still works. Now I have three! The battery door is crushed too. My goal is for the phone to better not just one person in need of parts but the community in general. If a developer can use this to help out the rest of us it will have been worth it. Like I have stated, I am not sure what use it will be but I am sure that someone out there can utilize it for the benefit of the rest of us.

A battery from HTC directly (after they first tried to deny my warranty status) is 37, shipping included.
As for a crushed device, I should try to find one in that condition since emulator will not run on my laptop. More or less the process goes make a program or update, open my sd card, load it, try it, improve it on the computer, delete the sd card copy, move the new one... very agravating.
Not to mention if you plug the device into the computer right, you can load your device AS the emulator (but I don't really want to do that to my "daily driver")

I would like to suggest a moment of silence to honor your G1.

So why don´t You get Yourself an Iphone Crap4 and get Your hacked sw there ? It´s one thing that You pay 400 bucks for a phone (nobody forced You though with a gun to Your head) it´s sumthin completely different to install cracked sw. The Dev-People have to live on it and invest much time in dev. So You better shut up an f*** off.

A piece of hardware that was only removed because TMO didn't want it on their network is hardly a reason for someone to get an iphone. Samsung covered up the camera hole with some paint and left the mounting brackets in place. This is simply putting your phone back to the way the manufacturer intended it to be.
If people want to make video calls or take myspace pics (are they still called that even though pretty much no one uses myspace anymore?), then let them. We've got three Vibrants in the house & for $20-25 each, we can get a FFC, so I'll probably be doing this mod as well, even if I never actually use it. You'll still have something unique that 99% of the other phones out there will not have.
For the people that don't want apps sharing their GPS location without their consent (even though they gave it when they installed the app), that's a reason to go to iphone. For people that just want the phone "experience" to be magical out of the box, that's a reason to get an iphone (the rest of us LIKE that Google made it so pretty much everything is customizable).

Sell your vibrant and get the international galaxy s and then unlock it and root it

Another option which I plan on doing when I get the loot, is to pick up an iPod Touch 4G and wifi tether it to my Vibrant. Plus this way il have the best of both worlds. Android Market and iOS Market.

Yeah, too bad Samsung didn't redesign the board to fix that. The camera was removed because T-Mobile didn't think it was necessary (and I agree), and to keep costs down.
If you REALLY want the device to be "how the manufacturer intended it to be", stop rooting, flashing roms, hacking it, and do a factory reset to JFD firmware and leave it alone.
Otherwise, you're just a hypocrit.
BTW, I truly believe that an FFC is a completely useless gimmick, and nothing more than a check on the box and something for people to ***** about it not being there. Nobody thought they wanted one till it wasn't there.

Okay you wrote this because? Nothing is perfect outta the box. You get a laptop and instantly get firefox or chrome, you order food at a resturant and add salt. Who said we hated our phones cause we mod them? I like the vibrant, I also like video chat, so if I can have both why not? No one is telling you to do it, you just keep running sammy's knock off ios touch wiz and leave the customization for people who understand what android is about. Better yet get a nice feature phone so I dont have to skim past your narrow minded crap. A hypocrit posts in xda about not modding a phone. Shove off troll. Help or leave.
Edit the ffc is built onto the i9000 cam prob costs an extra $5 tops in bulk, who here would not have paid a lincoln more for there phone?
Tmo removed it so the mytouch line would be the first to get it.
Sent from the best phone from TMO... Vibrant

OK, yes, maybe I'm trolling a little bit, but seriously, you people didn't even know you wanted this stupid gimmick till it wasn't there.
I wrote my last post because the guy said that putting in an FFC is "returning the device to the way the manufacturer intended". Well, the manufacturer intended you to use it with the unrooted stock UVJFD rom. Anything else (all the community roms, leaked roms, rooting, flashed GPS files from leaked roms, "lag fixes", etc) isn't the "way the manufacturer intended". Seems a bit hypocritical to me.
PS: I never said anybody hated their phone. Don't put text onto my keyboard that I never typed. For the record, I'm running LP+ on JI6 with a custom-modded Framework-res.apk and "/data/data to NAND" hack. So don't tell me I don't know anything about modding a phone.

Duly noted sir. I will hush. Lol

GPS Not Locking - Tech support just updated the software, still not working

Hello,
I got an LG Spirit sometime ago and apart from the first few days I've had it the GPS hasn't been able to lock to any satellites.
I took the phone to the tech support centre and described the problem. A couple of days later they returned the equipment and on the repair sheet it said they only did a software update and that the GPS was working perfectly.
Now my phone has a "V10s-268-03" version which prompts an error everytime I boot it saying that I shouldn't even have that version, that the software version isn't available for regular users.
Which would be fine but apart from that now everytime I do a factory reset on the phone it automatically installs maybe 30 bloatware apps through Software Update and the GPS is still as faulty as ever.
What should I do now? Take it back to the support centre, try to install another stock rom?
Is there an LG built-in test tool that I can use to troubleshoot the GPS problem? I remember my old LG P500 had one.
Thanks!

Back to the place of purchase / service center and demand a new device, in writing - since the purchased one has serious hardware issues. Don't know about the consumer protection laws where you're from... but that usually works.
EDIT: Or reflash a rootable firmware with the LG Flash Tool.

I had to return my device to service center twice before they really fixed GPS.
It's not a software related problem (tried factory resets, firmware updates, apps ..), so keep on complaining until they fix it!
Now I get many satellites within seconds, signal doesn't get lost, it even works inside my house.

The problem lies in GPS antenna contacts. They are weak on certain manufactured series of phones. To fix it, you have to remove the GPS antenna and bend the legs of the contacts to make a proper connection. But that's best left to service center, since the phones are still under warranty.
Glad you got it sorted.

Can you make theard or video fixing antenna??

How? By opening my fully functional phone just to show you how to fix something that is not broken ( on my phone )?
Check out a disassembly video on Youtube, grab a screwdriver and a plastic guitar pick and go to town
On a more serious note... If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it. And you don't seem to know what you're doing. No offense. It's a vibe, you know. Same one as when you see a garbage can. You know it's going to smell if you jam your nose into it. Same thing here. Just trying to save you from yourself.

I already did that because I add thermal paste,I don't know where anntenas are

That paste thing is the most laughs I got from this forum in a long time. If you added the paste, you would KNOW where the antenna is.
But, really, man... There are some legs you need not pull.
And my last question, for ****s and giggles... where are the pics or a video of your little project? I have to see that.
