Will the bluetooth activated camera shutter work for us - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I noticed this over on Engadget http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/10/htc-one-x-remote-camera-shutter-bluetooth-headsets/ apparently you can use certain Bluetooth devices to use camera shutter on the One X. Is it possible it could work on the Evo Lte?

Since they are alot alike inside I can't wait to try it. Looks like a cool feature.

Ummm, how is this more convenient than just using the on-screen button, or even the dedicated camera button?

It is more convenient if you are trying to activate the shutter remotely.

Well, it's obviously a software feature, and considering that it's HTC and the similar One X, and "ImageSense." I'd give it a very high chance of working on the evo 4g lte.

I believe the bluetooth chip is the same and they both run Sense 4.0 ICS for the software, so I'd be surprised if this wasn't possible.

Seems like a possible good use for the kickstand if you can get the right angle.

[Q] Volume Rocker to change tracks?

I know this question has been asked a bunch of times, I'm just wondering if anyone found any way to do this on the E3D. I miss this feature on CM7 and is actually alot more convenient than using the buttons on my Motorola S10HD headphones, honestly.
Man I miss this also. I guess when full root comes?

That would be annoying to me lol...
But to change buttons we probably need full root.

Yea I really miss that feature of CM. I highly doubt that anything like that will be an option until we get full S-off (hopefully soon!). I searched for any apps in the market that can remap the hard buttons, but my searching wasn't successful.

It's super convenient! I thought at first that it would be annoying too, by accidentally changing tracks. However, it needs to be a very deliberate long press of the volume rocker to change tracks. A quick press will still change the volume as normal. Comes in handy if you're out on a walk or something, and want to change tracks without taking the phone out of your pocket. Just reach down, find the volume rocker, and hold it down. So convenient and simple. I wish HTC had that feature built into Sense.
Come to think of it, an app could probably do this...If someone made it.
My RSS reader, Newsrob has it set to change the article with the volume rocker...

accessing evos cameras from a computer or another android

I am looking to be able to access the cameras on my phones from another android phone or computer. Lets say one gets stolen (I have 3, an evo 4g, an evo 3d, and and epic 4g) I want to be able not to only track them but also access them from another device or computer and see what the people are doing on it or at least be able to access the front and rear cameras with out their knowledge and be able to snap pics from the camera. Not sure if that makes much sense it does in my head and I would really like to know how. I am sure it can be done over wifi or tethered but I won't be either of those. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look up app called "android lost". It once u activate it from web site it will ask user of stolen phone to enter a passcode. Every time they do it takes a picture of them. I believe it also takes pictures every few minutes and gives u GPS, address location, and let u turn on microphone and view outgoing and incoming calls and texts. Bad ass program. And the best part of it all its free
Use the app "webkey" you can do everything you want to your phone from a computer

I think the app "gotcha" has similar features... you can also use it for surveillance if you suspect that someone is using your phone when you are not looking.
Androidlost is pretty awesome. You access its functions from a web browser, and you can have it use both the front facing and back cameras to take pictures. That being said, it would be nice if there was a dedicated app that did this. Real-time video would be an awesome addition too. It'll be like your lil'personal security camera.

Could u imagine putting this on ur kids phones or ur spouses phone. I'm sure people take advantage of it that way
As mentioned previously there are already several apps that do this. Obviously it isn't always going to be tractable, because the phone has to be on, have GPS signal (or at very least a connection to three towers) to get a small enough radius of its position. It would need either wifi or a 3G connection. Realistically for live video it will need a good, stable 4g connection (unless you are satisfied with a low resolution, low frame rate video feed). It needs to also use as little resources as possible, and be somewhat hidden so it doesn't make someone suspicious or find it to turn it off, or kill the task or service.
It is a great tool to have if your phone is stolen for sure. I'm not sure that it would be really useful though in the event that your phone is stolen, not lost. I don't know about other people but I am thinking if my phone was stolen the first thing I would do is have my account suspended. I would be worried because people can use your phone bill to buy things, and call some phone whores at 800 an hour.
I am pretty sure I read one of those apps have the ability to format your data so it isn't stolen too. The other function I might want to count on, is the ability for the app to lock the phone down. Make it impossible to unlock the device, at all, or maybe with a password. Of course the last important feature would be to have all this start even after reboot and battery pull.
I can imagine this being used maliciously by some people. Anyway, that is my two cents on the matter.
I remember seeing something with somewhat the same function. When lost, you go to the website, lock it, it shows gps location, and takes a pic using front camera if possible. Don't remember the app right now...

camera focus and shutter sound

is there a way to turn off the focus and shutter sound without rooting or turning my phone to silent? is there a setting anywhere?
anyone???
No. There are laws in the US against that. Rooting will allow you to modify that capability.
You took away my two suggestions which would have been to turn the volume down(doesn't require root) or delete the files responsible for those sounds (requires root).

You can turn the volume down on the EVO 4G LTE and it turns off the shutter sound.

You can turn off the camera sounds using tasker. Just set up a profile that automatically sets your phone to silent whenever you're using the camera, and turns sounds back on whenever you close it. No root required, and works like a charm.
The legality is different from state to state, but basically it comes down violation of privacy. Without the shutter sound there is no way to know if someone is taking a photo of you or not. But without rooting you don't have many options.

[Q] Two features I have not heard about

I wont even get started on the SG3 vs E4GLTE debate. Played with both for an extnsive period of time and it will honestly come to flipping a coin. Not a fan boy of either. Not starting a flame war.
Two questions:
1-Does the SG3 have the HD voice feature?
I ask because if it has the sound quality of an IP phone to IP phone. Wow....I mean these are phones first and foremost(am i right?)
2-Can you snap photos while recording video?
Not a deal breaker but still a "nifty" feature.
Thanks for your help/input everyone.
yes you can snap photos when taking video...not too sure about HD Voice tho. I haven't noticed anything.
Thanks for the quick reply pizzle.
The HD Voice feature is one of those "it will come when LTE is here" things.
I don't think it has HD Voice... not that you'd be able to use it frequently anyways, as it requires both phones to be HD Voice compatible.

You are correct. For me it is more of a "future proof" feature. Kind of like how I see the 2 gigs of RAM on the GS3

How do you get it to take the still pic. I've tried a bunch of things with no luck. The Galaxy Nexus it was just click the screen but definitely not working for me on this unit.
It should have a camera button beside record/stop on the screen. You just use that while recording

I read on another thread that you need to have image stabilization off for video to be able to take stills. It's a great feature. A little camera button pops up right above the recording button on the screen.

[RANT]Press the top button while recording and lose footage!

Was recording Ron Paul at an event and accidentally pressed the top button. Lo and behold it quit the camera app and I instantly lost 20+ minutes of footage. Way to go HTC!
This should serve as a warning to those LTE users out there, if you're recording something, don't accidentally press any buttons!
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Why would you be pressing buttons when you're recording stuff? I think that having things turn off when you press the power button is a good thing...isn't that the idea behind it?
Pressing the wrong buttons is not a manufacturer's problem -- they didn't hide the button, it's not a secret. That's one of those PEBDAU (Problem Exists Between Device and User -- sue me, I can't think while at work). Sucks that you lost footage on Ron Paul though.
As I already stated in the OP, it was accidental. A friendly warning "are you sure you want to close this while recording?" would have been nice... or just save the footage and then close. Instead, it closed abruptly and without warning and happily discarded the last 20 minutes of footage. Not cool!

Highlighted in red. You made a user error, and you're blaming it on the phone manufacturer.
That's like driving a car, and you want to stop, but instead of the brake, you hit the gas, and then get upset at your car manufacturer.
That's like eating a sandwich, and you want to take a bite, but instead of putting it in your mouth, you shove it up your nose, and blaming your body for not chewing it.
That's like walking down the sidewalk, and you want to cross the street, but instead of turning left, you turn right, and blaming the people who laid the street.
I understand that it sucks, as I mentioned before -- unless the manufacturer does something completely opposite of how it's normally done (i.e. car maker switches gas and brake pedals / you eat through your nose / left becomes right) then don't get on them for it. Not their fault any way that you try to explain it. It should read something like this:

Crazy thing happened to me too, I was watching tv today and accidentally pressed the power button and my tv turned off. Sorry, couldn't resist, but the reason you lost your footage is because the camera app does not save your video to the sdcard until you press the stop recording button. So when you accidentally hit the power button all of the footage that was in the video cache was lost. I don't know if it would behave differently if you set you camera up for internal memory instead.

Your car analogy doesn't quite apply. It would be more like accidentally kicking it into reverse while driving on the freeway. The car should realize that's not an intended function while driving 80mph forward and not allow it. News flash, it does just that! Furthermore, the top button is not exclusively used to power off the phone. Even when you do want to power off the phone, it gives you a warning! It doesn't just instantly power itself off. So why should it be any different when doing other crucial tasks such as recording video (say in a more dire situation, evidence for use in court or something)?

It applies fine -- the power button did it's function as it was designed to do. A quick tap closes the app or puts the phone to hibernate/sleep/whatever. A long hold gives the prompt to turn of the phone, reboot, etc. It's a power button -- that's what it does. if you pressed the power button and it started dialing someone, then I'd agree with you. If you pressed the power button and it turned the volume all the way up or down, then yeah, that'd be a problem. But it did what it's supposed to. You were the boob that pushed it, even if it was by accident. You threw the car into reverse (which you can do, but you shouldn't!) while you were driving 80mph down the road. The problem is not HTC, it's you. You were the one who used it inadvertently, and dun goofed up. I don't have that problem, and lots of people don't have that problem. There are plenty of times that I went to reboot the phone and then realized I didn't want to -- why can't I undo the reboot command? How about when they updated my phone at the store when I bought it, and it is now at hboot 1.15? why can't I undo that? Because it's not designed to allow for it. That's the way it works. Maybe the app should consider it's users before it allows you to use it, have you do some practice stuff first, so you can painstakingly learn how to keep your fingers away from the buttons. If your finger/thumb got in the way of the lense, would you be upset at HTC because the lense caught your finger? No. No, you wouldn't. Because you put your finger there, you did everything, it is and always will be your fault.

Make a camera app and figure in all the stupid things people do, then make the options to undo them. You won't win that battle, because they're always someone who will do something stupid.

Hey now. I like Ron Paul.
That being said, it's not an oversight, unless you think someone can figure all of the ways that things can be messed up. I want my phone to float and gently land on the ground if I drop it, but they don't have that. I want to not misdial numbers that I've called before, and I don't want my Spotify to play a song that sucks in the Radio option.
You're going just *a little* to far I think. I agree with you in general, this isn't an issue, a button was mispressed at an inopportune moment, and the consequences sucked.
With that being said, I'm sure it's not too much for HTC or android to prompt when in video mode recording and the power button is hit to show a prompt. Especially if it's not going to be saved.
Going in the opposite direction of your examples: wouldn't a more accurate comparison be anytime, on every OS ever, if you try to delete a file you're prompted with "are you sure you want to delete this file?" That's there to catch mistakes. If we never made mistakes, they'd never have to build that prompt into virtually EVERY operating system. And in essence, when you hit the power button while recording, you're deleting that video. From a technical standpoint, it's not saved, I know, just cached, but close enough.
Again, I do, in general, agree. But no reason to get so extreme explaining why the OP is a "boob"
With that being said, OP, you ARE a boob. Jk. I look at this post as more an fyi, but wouldn't consider this any sort of defect.

If you're writing something up in Microsoft Word, and you turn your computer off, unless it autosaved (which it only does when you don't need it!!!) you're the boob that pushed the power button on the computer. Plenty of times that I've saved a file that was in the temp folder originally, and then when I went to open what I thought was the right file, none of my changes were there. I was the boob that didn't pay attention. Boob is not a horrible term -- stuff happens. We all do stupid things. I don't, however, hold Asus responsible for my goofs.
If I save a file on my USB drive and then I pull the drive out before it's done, that's my fault. It'd be great if it said something like "looks like you dun goofed, friend! Please insert the drive to try again!", but it doesn't. The file either ends up being corrupt or not there at all.
Just a minute ago, I was changing some groups on my work messaging Jabber client, and I goofed something. I did something to it that it's not supposed to do, and now I suffer the consequences of my actions. I take responsibility for my actions.
If there were a way to circumvent screw-ups (which we all do!!) then the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, there isn't a real "easy" button, or a "rewind life" button. You can't give for every situation, and when you start compensating for one person's screwup and not another, you end up having massive, unneeded bloat.
Do you really need text on your coffee cup to tell you that the hot cup of coffee you ordered is hot?
Do you really need a bottle of poison to have a warning label in small print that no one but an older child/adult can read tell you that it's bad for you to drink it?
I'll tell you something -- I learn from my screwups. Grab a burner while it's flaming hot, you can guarantee that I won't touch it again. If it automatically turned off when human skin comes close to it, that would be freakin' awesome, and the technology is available (with a few modifications), but they don't make stoves that way. Sucks, but that's the world.
And yes, it is a bit far, but...I didn't start off that way. If you want something to work that specific way, then sure, make it work. But I don't want extra weight on my app. I don't hit the button, and if I do by accident, then it's on me.

And just like you learn from your mistakes, we'll all learn from the OPs mistake, bc he gave us all a warning.
I don't see why asking for a prompt is that big of a deal.
And I don't find the term boob offensive at all, but it's definitely not a compliment.

I can see the reason for wanting a warning message about closing when you power off in the middle of using the camera. That said, I have an actual camcorder; a dedicated device for taking video. It has an On/Off button. If I press that button the camcorder powers off. It appears to work as designed.
E: To clarify, it does this regardless of whether I'm recording at the time. There is an understood assumption that I knew that I was pressing the On/Off button. I have yet to lose footage due to this.
Go Ron Paul! The other choices aren't great, Obama has already proven it and Romney you can just tell

Maybe something wrong with my phone but, I just tested video recording something then pressed my power button and it recorded up to the point of power off. I'm rooted Rejuvenated ROM so maybe that's the difference.

Hahaha I just tried this too, and mine was saved as well. And I'm definitely saving to my storage card.

I was walking in to the kitchen and smashed my pinky toe on one of the legs of the table chairs... DAMN YOU IKEA FOR NOT MAKING THE LEGS OF THE CHAIRS A TINY BIT SMALLER.
I also went to grab the my bottle of water off of the desk next to my computer but forgot my headphones were on. well they got ripped off my head because i ran out of cord...i ended up ripping the usb plug out of the usb port and now the headphones dont work any more... DAMN YOU TURTLE BEACH! YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE THE CABLE LONGER!
