Go in to your camera, then press the "AUTO" button.
Pick Smart Shot.
Auto will be the first option on the top left if you're holding your phone in landscape with the shutter button on your top right.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I don;t see the Auto button as well. Does it have something to do with my software version. I am running Android 2.3.4 with HTC Sense 3.0

Are you using the stock camera app and not a market app?
Press your menu button when in camera..do you not see it toggle between settings and options?
Auto button. Camera/Camcorder switch button. Front/back camera switch. Flash button.
They should be there.

Yes I am using stock camera.

Please see the screen shot of my camera app. And when I press menu button in camera I just see settings. There is no toggle for options.

Are you with tmoile or telus? Telus did not include the SmartShot or PerfectPic (or whatever) that Tmobile has. Not sure about Wind Mobile.

Click that wand with the sparkles.
And here's mine:
There's the "Auto" I'm talking about. Anyway in your case I'm sure it's the wand with the sparkles.
And that "square" focus icon looks nothing like the Amaze's "circle" focus icon.
And your shutter button is in a different location as well.
Mine is opposite my options.
Your phone is a fake Amaze. =P

I am on Mobilicity. I think it should be similar to Telus.

I think xb was using the Telus cam in his Rom for a little while. It didn't have smartshot like the tmobile version.. ie telus using different software version for camera so no smartshot.

[APP]4G Widget Toggle for 3rd Party Launcher

Not sure if you are using sense or not, but I am using LauncherPro Plus and find that going into Menu->Settings->Wireless->4G, etc is annoying.
I found "4G Toggle for EVO" in the market. It says its only for EVO, but since they are both made by HTC, I figured I'd give it a shot, and it works.
Hope this helps some others.

I have been using Power Control Plus, and it also includes a 4G toggle. Also has a button for turning USB tethering on/off (main reason I bought it).

+1, I like having the power bar in the notifications pull down. Also like the switch to disable lock screen.

I also found Widgetsoid afterwards, which has everything! It's great.
cant wait to try this out!!!
One other option, for those using adw, is as follows. Long press the home screen until a menu appears. Choose custom shortcuts, then activities. When this loads, go to settings, then scroll down to 4g settings. This will create a shortcut to the 4G settings, and will not add the chance of further battery drain.
Beautiful Widgets includes one that works as well.
I'm using extended controls, its a paid app but very customizable, they have a control for about every function you could need

Yeah, great app.
I've also purchased beautiful widgets and used it before for toggles, ultimately widgetsoid does everything better, for me.

Just wanted to throw Elixir in the mix. It has a 4G toggle that works prettty well plus a lot of other things. Kind of similar to Widgetsoid but with color. Pretty good app though

Sense 3.0 animations

Hey Guys/Girls,
I just got my EVO 3D from Rogers and for the life of me, i cant figure out how to turn off the animations for the Sense theme. I find the so called 3D animations auto tilting very annoying.
How do i turn those off?
haha, welcome to the boards!
go into settings>display
everything you need (regarding what you asked) is in there
good luck!
Thanks for the info, but the auto-tilting feature isnt the one im looking for.
Im going to try be explain this as best as i can:
When you have any widgets on your homescreen, anytime you tilt your phone (pitch or yaw) you see the widgets tilts and therefore gives you an illusion of a 3d effect.
That animation in particular im trying to get rid off. Or is that a built in effect of 3.0 and cant be turned off?
No, you can disable them. I believe the htc widgets provided with the sense rom have selections for both 3d and non 3d effects. Try a few other widgets from the personalize menu and see if it changes.
bastardized rom. its fast. get some.

Is this feature only on the EVO 3D from Rogers? I don't see this feature (or the setting) on my EVO 3D from Sprint.

Drop-Down Settings

Coming from my OG Evo and Deck's ROM, I'm really missing the drop-down settings toggles on this phone. It's funny, too: I swore I'd never go back to Sense after I finally got rid of it for AOSP back in the Vaelpak days, but things are so smooth and flawless with the LTE that I actually have no desire to switch to anything else at the moment (I've only had the phone for a week, though).
Except for the toggles! I'm constantly finding myself flipping down the notification menu looking for a sound profile switcher or a 5-way brightness control or a WiFi toggle or even quick access to airplane mode. I know there are widgets available to partially cover this, but those aren't accessible from within other apps.
End communication.

Dont worry this will all come in due time. I think viper rom has some toggles already.
Well now it's just one more step... You just gotta press settings. I'm sure in due time a developer will create a rom with these settings.

Well GPS is technically two steps now. Click settings then location. Wish they left that with wifi, bluetooth, etc.
Not to worried about it. I'm sure it will be on a ton of ROMs.
ViperROM 1.2 has many of them. Can't wait for Zeus mods myself

Interesting. I might check it out, though I'm nervous about the review mentioning the high CPU usage.

The 4.2 Camera and Gallery.

So I installed the 4.2 camera and gallery on my One X+, and have been playing with it. I have one big issue right off the bat, and it is with the gallery. When the camera is on, one can swipe over to the gallery to see the picture I just took...lets say i want to text that picture to someone? On the top of the screen there is a share icon...I hit that, and no option for message. So I hit the "see all" selection. No message option in the entire list.
So it seem the only way to text a picture is to go into the the old galley, and share from there, or open a new message and attach from there?
Is there a way to add message as one of the sharing options in the new gallery?

I know I can....but on the GS3, messaging shows up as an option to share like it should. Getting out of the camera, the making a new text message is more work than sharing right from the gallery!
EDIT: It looks like the good ole 3 button menu strikes again!
I'm pretty sure this is because the stock sms app is a part of sense, and only sense apps can use other sense apps. Kind of like how you can't use sense widgets on 3rd party launchers.
I suggest using a different sms app if you want that functionality, you could even use the aosp 4.1 app. Either that or use the paperclip shortcut in the HTC sms app.

Shutter sound?

How do you turn off the shutter sound on the camera without silencing the phone? I cannot find it in the camera app.

Verizon doesn't give us the option to turn it off. I ended up using Tasker. If you search the forums others have mentioned other fixes they have used.

Theres an option to turn the shutter sound off. Open the camera, hit menu and open the settings menu, hit the gear on the far right for more settings and its near the bottom.

Thats only there if you have a custom rom or modified camera app
If you are rooted, go to /system/csc/feature.xml and change this to true (make a copy first in case it gets messed up):
<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>
Reboot and it will be in the camera menu.
My bad didnt think about that. Have been running synergy since the day I got my s4. Thanks tho.

Not rooted and running the latest vzw update, if I have my ring volume off (silent mode, and vibrate only) I get no shutter sound. Only way but it works.
bugs, bugs, bugs...
