Hi!
I have an HTC Tattoo on Orange. I heard tat the tattoo is supposed to have Flickr built in to the fabric of it, but I will be blowed if I can find it anywhere on the phone! I have looked in the social networks part, in the Albums app and doing a search from Astro from /
I have sent the question to HTC, but they always reply to my questions with "Thanks for your question... I can help with that... we can't help!" so I don't hold out much hope for an explanation from them.
I think it is missing because it is an Orange branded phone with their own photo app - and like the gtalk app, they have probably banned usage of the proper apps!
So I thought I would ask the REAL experts! Can anyone assist me in adding Flickr to my phone please?
Oh... and Happy Halloween!!
It's in Albums...look at atached image...
If it isn't there like in then img, while in Albums press menu then setting and there u have options to check facebook and flickr tabs...
Hi bataya.
Thank you or your reply. It seems that the app had been removed from my Orange branded phone.
In the end I flashed my phone and Flickr now shows and works!
Anyone that reads this and finds the same problem, here is the guide I followed...

Remeber those beatiful pics that HTC showed on the contacts screen for touch flo 3D? Well i have yet to find what kind of size and type of file the phone uses to have a decent picture load up. I tried using the 1600 x 1200 (as these are the std sizes for the sample pics that come with the phone) as these loaded up fine but then i uploaded it and it still looks horrible!
All my contac pics look like crap so I wonder who else has this problem or better yet a solution for it.
Thanks!
I added a pic of what I was talking about (from HTC's stock pics where the lady looks HD like)
??
in the contact screen ..there should be a menu tab....there's a tab that says " change Picture " tap it and change picture...Picture should be crisper..
Peace
Mike
Sir... you are a miracle worker, they look sharp!
Thanks!
Also seems to happen if you have an exchange server sync your pictures back in.
My works exchange server resized the image to be very small, unless I changed the picture manually back to the image I wanted after a flash, it used the 'resized' version.
So same solution as posted above, just wanted to throw out this possible situation that has the same solution in case someone searches and finds this
Thanks for the info mike19722. Always wondered why it looked so crappy.
Hi all,
Just got my Black T-Mobile G2 which I've unlocked to all networks and put my o2 simcard in...
Who knows how to get the settings to the phone? I guess I need them for internet and mms? Any ideas?
-- Edit -- Thread actually changed, scroll to 2nd page to see.
Google For the settings
The phone should automatically get the settings for that sim mine did
How? My sim card is in the phone but its not downloading anything. I didnt know if tmobile removed everything apart from theirs.
How can i get the phone to download them?
APN Settings
Go to Settings-wireless control-mobile network settings-access point names
edit each one of those to corrispond with o2's settings
try these there are others search on google
my username is actually o2web not mobile web etc

Thanks for that, I got my settings from a similar place. I've noticed something strange now though...
I had a white factory unlocked hero and when linking contacts via facebook I could see their albums and flick through pics and they were great quality.
Now I have a Black Touch G2 and still on o2, I've manually put in the settings and the pictures are grainy. I presume the settings are slightly different than they are on the white one.
Can someone with a white unlocked hero please post their settings for o2?
Thanks in advance.
????
On my hero the pictures are not really clear but clear enough, they do look a little grainy.
It may have something to do with the speed of your connection at the time of syncing the contact ie gprs or HSDPA, but other than that i have no idea
sorry
Ok, did a bit more digging and found it, so for all you o2 users out there, try this.
Go into your APN settings for mobile web and change your username to bypass
Restart the phone and look at new images (old ones will be cached). Should be spot on now with no reduction in quality.
Just changed the name of this thread as its a question answered but has some great info above for UK o2 customers...
Which pics are you referring to? Is it just the Caller ID pics it displays from Facebook?
Hmm..Speedtest results shot up massively now. Not sure if coincidence though.
Thanks
Phil
well the bypass u/n and p/w should tell the network to route you round o2's transparent proxy, so i would expect it to be a bit faster at least.
wonder if there is a similar way around T-Mobile's Transparent Proxy?

When linking a person to facebook and viewing their albums.
Also when viewing actual web pages, the images are full quality.
It is a lot faster, my speed must be about twice as fast now which is great, I'll edit the title again..

How on earth did you find this out anyway???
Oh here maybe... http://www.o2.co.uk/assets2/PRODImages/PDF/GPRS3GConnectivityMar07.pdf
perhaps I am doing something wrong however since making the changes outlined above I can no longer browse the web nor connect to my exchange server!!
help please.
edit: sorry all seems ok now. it's worth mentioning that the username is 'bypass' and the password is 'password'.

Didn't get it from there, but that has lots of useful info. Just did a bit of digging on the web about the problems and a lot of iPhone users had the same issue, so o2 came up with this work around.

Is it all working for you then? All preloaded images before you did this change will stay, unless you delete the cache, but everything else should work 100%

I didnt notice a problem before so I cant comment on that. The main reason I changed the username and password were the above reported speed increases. I must say that I have not noticed any day to day speed increases as a result.
Hi!
I don't know if i should post this on galaxy ace forum because it's not about the galaxy ace itself. I'm sorry if i'm posting on the wrong sub-forum but you guys are the experts with galaxy ace.
I'll ask for your help anyway
Is it possible to turn an image into .apk? I would like to make some kind of app that shows me an image in full screen (320x480) on my SGA.
If the app already exists, can you tell me what app is that?
Thanks a lot
1. This should be in the general section
2. Isn't that what the Gallery app does?

You don't need to turn an image file to apk to make such app. You need to make an app to read, open, and show you image file(s). The gallery is already there. You can find bunch of the like apps in the market too, e.g. QuickPic.
What on earth for??
Hi all!
Thanks for your tips.
Perhaps i explained myself badly, i''m sorry.
I don't want to open a random picture with gallery. I want an app to open the SAME picture every time i open the app.
Imagine that you have a picture of your grandmother on your wallet, i want more or less the same thing on my phone
I just need press the app icon and voilá, my picture is shown in fullscreen. that's what i was looking for.
Yesterday i was watching some videos on youtube and i now have more or less the idea what i need to do to make such an app.
The problem is that i'm not very savvy with with Java and Android SDK and it will take me some time create the app that i need.

Are you using stock? Do you have 3DGallery?
Well... If so... I barely remember a widget that allows you to place an image wherever you want in your screan... Like having a photo frame on your desktop... I don't know if you know what I mean... But right now I can't remember the name of the widget... But id does pretty much what you are looking for

Im using ICS by jusada.
I don't have 3D Gallery, I didnt even know this app existed. The app seems cool and i like the concept of 3D Gallery but that's not what i was really looking for.
I'll try to search for that widget you are talking about.
Thanks for your help man

Alright!
Well, I just thought the widget had something to do with the Gallery app but seems it doesn't
I'll keep searching for that widget... I'll let you know if I find it out!

Ok thanks
I've found an app "Android Photo Widget" that does more or less what i need.
I've added a new screen to SGA and with this widget i picked a photo for that screen.
The only problem is that the picture is always showing and i just wanted the picture to be shown after i press the app button. It does what i wanted, just not by the way i wanted but it's ok.
I'll keep looking for a better app anyway but this one does the job.
Sry if it's the wrong section of the forum but I got an annoying problem and I cna't solve it...
I synced all my contacts with their facebook profile picture (I had to do some of the manually but that's not the problem...)
The problem is that I DON'T SEE FACES! I mean, My HTC One SV had decided to dedicate just a quarter of the screen to the ID photo so when I get a call or I look at them on the contact list I just see chests and bellies!!! Not a single face!!! And I can't even center to photo manually!!!!
I've tried some programs like: BIG SCREEN CALLER or something like that but: 1- they don't work cos you can't click on the answer button 2- they consume lot of precious battery juice,... Any help here?
I have a problem that i have looked and looked and can't find any answer for it so hoping some experts here might have the answer.
I need to recover a photo of my dog which although is set as profile photo the original on my sd card is deleted and i would like to recover it before i reset the phone back to factory.
My understanding of this is that the photo is stored in the database of android contacts which is why it doesn't show up in gallery or any other file finding or photo finding apps. I would love to extract it as the dog has passed away and it's one of my favourites of him.
Please can you tell me how to extract the photo or if i am wrong regarding the location can anyone help me find it and remove it?
Yours in Hope:good:
I'll be in your Google account if you are synced... I'm not sure... Haven't tried.. Ever... But just go to g+ check your photos there... It might be there...!

Back when google was trying to push their naming convention of splitting 1 word into 2 i ended up with 2 google+ accounts but the photo is not on either. I ended up with scotchmizzed and Scotch Mizzed which i hate but they make it so difficult to combine,just not worth the hassle.
I just know it's on this device and would love to get it off.. Thanks anyway:good:
It should be in the Google contacts (if you are synced).
If you can't find it anywhere, you can always take a screenshot of the screen and then edit the image to get only the picture.
This is what I've had to do and with a bit of cropping it's not bad but was wanting to know if I could access the original in the hope it was maybe a better quality. Thanks very much for the reply anyway.
