[Q] Camera Video Option - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had my Atrix's video quality mode set on "Best for viewing on a phone". Since I flashed a new theme "Cool Blue", I no longer see that option. Does anyone still have that setting so I can revert back? (That option let me send the videos over mms. That seems to be gone as well.) (Yes I know there is a 600kb limit on mms with AT$T)
Thanks!

Looking forward to your development release

Remember to change permissions, or you won't see the camera and camcorder after rebooting. This I believe will get you what you need.

[Q] YouTube videos "cannot be played"

Another silly n00b question...
Stock ROM, no changes have been made on my gTablet. When I go to YouTube.com, and try to watch a video, I get the error message, "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played." Am I supposed to have some sort of an app for playing the videos on YouTube? [I have Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installed, in case that info is helpful to you.]
Thanks for all of your help, wonderful folks at xda-developers!!! I promise, as soon as I can watch YouTube videos, can change the wallpaper (that's more of a "want" than a "need"), and can find an app that works that will show me a count for multiple Gmail AND POP3 email accounts (a definite "need"), I'll be done asking you guys my silly questions! I promise!!
Did you do the OTA(over the AIR) update? Try this first and reboot.
Thanks you for responding, tings. Yes, I DID do the OTA days ago and have have since powered my gTablet off and on quite a few times. it is showing the new updated version, as well. So that's not it. I DI manage to see one (random) YouTube video, but it was so choppy I couldn't hear or see (or understand) a word of it. I just tried to go to YouTube again and wastch a ViewSonic G Tablet video, and again received the "Sorry, this video cannot be played." I seem to not have something installed to play them.
Did you try YouTube native app? Did you also look into browser setting? You might consider downloading flash 10.2.
I myself having pixelation problem with flash video in my tntlite 4.4 win flash 10.2. My mom's stock ROM with flash 10.1 has no issue with pixpixelation.
Sorry, i am noob too.
Try downloading flash 10.2.
Thank you tings and Enectic, for responding! I will do that, and will tell you what happens!
Cool. Let us know.
Well, I had to get the apps store fix done first. Did that, and now have market and gmail and places and maps and a whole bunch of OTHER apps I don't want on my gTablet. Then I went to the market and it couldn't find flash 10.2 (or any other versions). Then I searched for a few other apps I was interested in looking at (like Gmail Unread Count), and it didn't find THOSE either. I'm having a very unproductive day and am getting frustrated. I've been working on finding answers to my questions for 7.25 hours, and have come up empty. I can't figure out how to install my own wallpaper design, I can't watch YouTube videos without getting an error code, and I haven't found an app that will tell me how many unread emails I have in my POP and GMail accounts. I'm 0 for 3 today!
You didn't have to do the market fix to get 10.2. Here's a link to a direct download. Just download and run it directly from your G-Tablet or download it to your computer then transfer it to your G-Tablet.

THANK YOU, Enectic! I appreciate your getting me the link. And yes, I now have all this other stuff I don't need on my gTab. I guess I'll leave it there for a while , and if I don't use it, I'll remove it. [I "thanked" you on the Thank meter!] Wow, maybe I'll now be 1 for 3 today, on my list of things I wanted to do with my new gTablet!
Adobe Flash v10.2 installed (from my PC to the gTab), and it's showing as installed and the correct version on the applications listing in the settings, but I'm still getting the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" error message when I go to YouTube and choose some random videos. Any other suggestions?
No prob, sorry it still didn't end up working for you though. I'm a new G Tablet owner too so still learning myself. Not sure what to tell you, hopefully someone else will be able to help you with your problem.
I have the same issue with the updated OS and YouTube. Is this related to the tablet having no official Flash support?
I am having a similar problem with the videos on my woot tablet. Sometimes they will play and the next time won't. Will never play the king Kong video and once I try and get the error then no vids will play without powering off.
Edit: My second woot tab with no ota works fine. Only a problem on the one I flashed to 3588 since updater down. Now flashed to two taps 9.02 and still the same trouble.
Try this fix in the browser
I went round and round with the Adobe Flash problems. Then I saw a post that said this:
Open the browser
Make sure the full menus are showing (with the address bar showing)
Touch the settings icon to the far right of the address bar
You will three "modes" for viewing among the settings
Select the radio button for "Desktop" viewing
Return to the browser
I did this and what-do-you-know, flash-based movies starting working!
BTW, I received the OTA 4349 update and afterwards, I noticed that I could then use "Tablet" viewing in the browser and the flash movies still worked.
Hopes this helps!

Have you checked your browser setting to make sure you are viewing in desktop display rather than tablet or phone. That was my problem when I had a similar problem.

[Q] MMS APK Issues / Questions

So I've been playing with my SG2 for a couple weeks now, getting pretty comfortable with it.
I realized when I started playing with Serendipity Rom that I could no longer send MMS messages... could receive them just fine but there was no option to attach.
Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18727217&postcount=6 where he links to a MMS package (don't know from where) that gives this functionality back.
However, that mms.apk changes pictures into slideshows and I really don't like that.
Anyone know which mms.apk would allow me to attach pictures to my messages, and display received pictures in-line instead of slideshow?
I'm currently running H8SG2, and like it the best out of the 6 or so I've tried. Just this little MMS issue.

Download the CyanogenMod 7.1 MMS.APK which can be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4K7PT0AE
Replace the MMS.APK in your phones system/app folder with the one you have just downloaded & reboot phone.
This solution works for most everyone.
Good Luck!
That one has an option to attach files, thanks! Though, surprisingly, it's different than the one that comes with the ATT nightly builds for CM7 (which is what I tried earlier).
Thanks!

Pic MMS Issue ATT

I'm pretty sure this is the same on all the Samsung phones, but if I get a Picture via MMS, I cannot zoom in or out on the picture. The only way I have found to resize the thing is to first save it then go into gallery and then you can zoom in. Anyone have a better way?
And yes, I have used other SMS app's like Go and it works much better, but I happen to like the stock Message app, except for this non feature.
Yes, I find it extremely annoying after switching from SE Neo. I would also like to know if solution exists...

Switching to video hangs camera

I'm on SuperLTE SVN 127. Camera works well but when I switch to video I can't record and camera is unresponsive until I reboot. I can do things like hit the auto flash icon and switch between modes but can't get to the menu or switch back to picture mode or actual shoot any video.
Previous to this I was on CM10. Camera with video worked ok. Wiped everything I could from TWP, flashed superwipe, reinstalled superLTE, installed other sense roms still the same issues. I also cleared camera and media data in settings.
Anyone have any idea what else I can try?

also another symptom is that I can't play any videos from gallery. Nothing I download or things that were recorded on the phone when video worked. But it will play in bsplayer.
Are there any logs I can check for errors?
Im sorry that it was so hard to read the op and see that rom uses the sense 4.5 camera which will always freeze when switching to video unless the phone is already in landscape mode. im sorry if if this sounded mean but im tired of people not even reading about the rom that they install before saying they have problems. DO SOME RESEARCH before starting a new thread, and always read the original post about the rom before you install.

Be as mean as you'd like as long as you post something useful. This is the Q&A section. I'm not ****ting up someone else's post asking stupid questions. I always try to figure it out on my own first.
You make it sound like the OP of the superLTE rom makes this clear. Yes it does mention the 4.5 camera but it would be helpful if they had a known issue section at the bottom. Notice I didn't say should, just that it would be helpful. Anyway, I've tried other roms, including rooted stock and get the same issues with the camera. Switching to video in the sense 4.5 camera in landscape just crashes instead of hanging and then I can't reopen the camera.

If i was you i would not use the sense 4.5 camera until it is 100% bug free.
Hi, I'm the OP of Super LTE, I'm not sure about those issues, BUT I'm on the latest revision, 149 I think, we updated the camera apk yesterday or two days ago, and I literally just TRIED to crash the camera and couldn't. I took pics, switched to video, took video, viewed video from the gallery, took burst pics, took more video then used capture tool while watching from gallery, rotating between land and port all the while, etc. Please try the latest and see, also, please post issues in thread (or response to my post here), we rarely venture out of the dev section

[Q] 2 Major problems following JB Stock update (Gmail and Camera)

Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone has experienced the following issues. Following an OTA update to JB, I have noticed 2 serious issues which I can't seem to shake. Firstly, the back camera is not working. When loading the stock camera app, the output of the camera just shows weird static/green lines.. a bit like what it used to look like when try to play an NTSC video tape on a PAL system (yes I'm that old ).
Secondly, and more importantly as I use this for business, is that Gmail's "Show quoted text" function does nothing. So when I receive a forwarded email, I tap the "Show quoted text" button and nothing happens, making it impossible to read the forward.
Steps to resolve this issue that I have taken:
1) Force closed both Gmail and Camera Apps, then cleared data. No change.
2) Factory reset from system menu - no change, and now I have to set up my Prime again!
I don't want to flash anything for now, as this is a work device I am not allowed to install custom binaries (i know I could probably cover my tracks but really don't wanna risk much with such an expensive device).
If anyone has any tips or ideas I would very much appreciate the help.
Cheers all
