HTC Eris--Camera & Picture Issues?

I'll preface this by saying that I'm expecting my second replacement Eris on Monday because of all the issues since the update.  I'm not confident that the next one will be any better.  Since the update, I noticed that my camera delays when I take a picture...I take a picture, it appears but then it's like it takes another picture which 9 times out of 10 doesn't turn out.  This did not happen before the update.  I haven't seen this particular issue on the forums and am wondering if anyone else is having that problem.  Also, I have recently noticed that when I go to share a picture via Messages, it pops up as a slide show rather than just a picture where you can easily type in the name/number of the recipient.  Now there are added steps to get it to send.  I think they're going through but it seems cumbersome.   Anyone else?

I'm reporting the same problem with the newest update, and what a hassle it's been trying to get support! It's more than cumbersome--now every picture message I receive comes in as a sldieshow with a 5 second duration, instead of as a regular .jpg with no duration, and the same with sending picture messages. It's a major nuisance, and additionally, one of my friends has a phone that can't receive slideshows, so I can no longer send him pictures.
HTC support has been saying that the phone has always done this, that it's intentional, that it's perfectly normal. Even though that's obviously false--I took a picture of my phone showing a picture message coming in as a .jpg from before the update, and a new one as a slideshow after; didn't matter, they kept insisting this was the way it's always been.
I went to two local Verizon stores, and their tech reps told me that if HTC says it's normal, there's nothing they can do--they also wouldn't exchange the phone for another because they're all preloaded with the new update causing this problem.
Sigh. I am very unsatisfied.

  • Transfer Footprints from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2

    I switched from HTC Eris to HTC Incredible 2.  I want to transfer my Footprints thumbnails and data to HTC Incredible 2.  On the HTC Eris there is a folder on the SD card called .footprint that contains the footnotes.db file and folders for thumbnails and voices. The thumbnails for the footprints I have created are in the proper folder.
    On the HTC Incredible 2, the footprints folder is on the SDcard as a subfolder of the .data folder.  That folder has a footprints.db file and footprints.db-shm and a footprints.db-shm files in it.  It also has  "thumbnails" and "voices" folderswhere the pictures and dictated audio that are created with the app reside. 
    I have copied the HTC Eris .footnote folder over to the HTC Incredible 2 SDcard.  The footprints application has a menu item to import pictures and data.  The pictures have to be imported individually.  While the pictures import and retain the address and GPS information, they display the current date and time, not the date and time when the footprint was orginally created.  When you try to import a database, it says no database found.
    I tried copying all of the Eris thumbnails into the Incredible 2's thumbnails folder and replacing the footprints.db on the Incredible 2 with the one from the Eris but the app would not display the existing footprint pictures and the app would no longer save and display footprints created even though the pictures taken were in the correct folder.  I restored the Incredible 2's  footprints.db  and solved that problem. 
    If anyone has ideas, I would be interested to know.  My guess is the Footnotes app on the Eris is a different version so the data is not transferable.

    If I had to guess I would say that the issue is because of the different versions of Sense, I have noticed that some of the old files stored from a HTC Sense application doesnt always work on the updated version..

  • HTC ERIS randomly Drops data connectivity after 2.1 OTA

    I am about to receive my 3rd HTC Eris under warrany that I am told will help my problem, before the 2.1 upgrade I no problems with data connectivity dropping. My 1st phone randomly displayed message saying "The MObile network setting needs to be turned on. The 2nd replacement phone does the same thing at random all over Phoenix.
    Verizon said they have never heard of this problem and there have been no issues with the 2.1 upgrade..so far that is the story from 2 reps. My 3rd replacement phone is on its way...will it fix my problem?? Tried to get them to replace the phone with a nother model but they would only do it at full retail price....wow I use this for business and it is costing me money......If this doesn't fix it I guess I'll keep asking for replacement phones till it finally works properly again......
    A very unhappy HTC Eris user...

    Hi.  I am sorry you are having issues with your HTC Eris and I will be happy to look into this for you.  When did you get the 2.1 update?   Try to dial *228 option 2 to update your roaming to see if that helps.  If it does not, we may need to reset your entire device to see if that works.
    Waiting on your reply
    Thanks!

  • Dropped LD Calls on HTC Eris

    I had a Samsung a couple of years ago.  Every time I'd call my family in Illinois (from Texas), I'd get my calls dropped after 3-5 minutes.  Verizon technicians said it was with the landline carrier in Illinois.  They said it was with Verizon.
    I switched to a Blackberry 8330.  Never a problem.
    Now I got an HTC Eris.  Out of three conversations, I've had to re-dial seven times. I was only on the calls for a maximum of 15-min.
    Anyone have any thoughts, or suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I have had the blackberry 8530 well two of those. DROPPED CALLS Then I switched to the droid eris to no avail. DROPPED CALLS I have had service with Verizon since March 5 and regardless of the phone, dropped calls are a fact of life for me I hit ### which is what customer service told me to do. I changed my phone number because customer service told me that because I ported my number something just wasn't right. I have a minimum of 5 dropped calls a day. (on a good day) Verizon has told me that I can discontinue my service twice. I am currently looking for another cell phone company that I can actually make a phone call on. The last conversation the rep told me that my area had bad service I should switch to a non pda then the call dropped. Not that the service would be any better. 
    LOL I have had service tickets "RESOLVED" but not for me still have the same issues that I have had since day 1 DROPPED CALLS.
    SO again I am trying to decide where I am going too before they decide that I have to stay with a phone company where the phones are not reliable to make a phone call. I tried talking tonight and it called someone else..Oh yeah I had to input all of my numbers again because it was suppose to fix the stranger call issue. SMH

  • Front camera picture quality - iPad 4 - iOS7

    Recently i purchased iPad 4 and upgraded to iOS7. The upgarde was successful.
    But i just noticed, my front camera picture quality is not that good as my friend's ipad's has.
    I dont know whether its beuase of new iOS or the hardware issue with my iPad.
    I tried connecting with local Apple Service Center here, but they were totally blank about it and had no clue why is it so.
    Can anybody help here?

    I also just updated my iPad 2 to iOS7 yesterday and discovered the same issue with grainy pictures. I know what the problem is...my camera is permanently zoomed in 30%, just like when you switch from camera to video. Choosing between video and camera, there is no change in the zoom on screen. This is a software issue and must be fixed with a software update. Has this issue been addressed?

  • HT201401 My camera doesn't open when tapping the camera icon, its a black screen.  I can only open it by turning off at the top, then instead of 'sliding' to unlock, I need to slide up the camera picture.  This opens the function and I can take pics as no

    The only way I can get the camera to work is by turning the phone off at the top, then instead of 'sliding to open' I slide the camera picture up the screen.  This opens the normal camera and I can take pictures.  What have I altered, and how can I reset it so I can tap the icon?

    Try force closing the Camera app, followed by resetting your phone.  Double=tap the home button, locate Camera in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button.  Now reset your phone by holding the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • I cannot see my Iphone 4 in my device window in the finder anymore.  It use to appear so I could copy the camera pictures off of it and transfer them to other folders.  Does anyone have and idea how to get it back when you plug it in initially.  Thanks

    You will want to open iPhoto, go to the iPhoto menu and select Preferences. Under the General tab, next to Connecting camera opens: select iPhoto. Close the preferences and quit iPhoto. Reconnect your iPhone 4. iPhoto should open automatically and offer to import your pictures. Import them and then do what you want with them.
    Best of luck.

  • Z10 - 10.2.1 to 10.3.1: One year of camera pictures missing after updating

    Hello,
    After updating a Z10 from 10.2.1 to 10.3.1, I have one device (out of 5) with one year of pictures that are unaccounted for (April 2014 to before the update). The Z10 has a SD card but pictures were always saved on the Device storage. The BlackBerry Link full backup file size dropped from 7.64GB to 4,44GB after updating the device, so the pictures are clearly not there anymore.
    I always backup devices before updating, so I was able to recover the missing pictures, but this is not acceptable behavior ... Seems to me to be a very serious bug.
    Very similar to this post:
    Missing camera pictures and saved picture files following OS update from 10.2 to 10.3
    https://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Z10/message-id/74141

    Confirmed that the same bad behavior is there now that the calendar has rolled forward to May.
    Like I said this raises the question of what else is broken in the basic functionality of an essential app.
    BlackBerry folks reading this - hope to you see you reproduce the bug, and acknowledge ingestion of a bug report into your internal bug tracking system, for priority fix on next OS release.
    Others reading this, if you reproduce the bug (should be easy) - please add comments as you see fit, to get BlackBerry's attention on this one.

  • PSE 10 organizer displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES title for every imported image.   How to eliminate?

    PSE 10 organizer now displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES as the title for every imported image.  This is very annoying.   How to I prevent PSE from assigning this attribute to the title metadata upon import?   I have thousands of photos, and going through each one to delete the title isn't really an option.   Has anyone encountered this type of behavoir?
    Windows 7 pro, if that matters.
    Thanks,

  • Is it possible to load pictures directly from your computer to your ipad.  When I loaded the camera pictures onto the computer, re ordered them and fixed some, I then tried to move them to the ipad.  It does not allow me to paste the copied file.

    Is it possible to load pictures from a computer to your ipad.  When modified my camera pictures and reordered them, I was unable to load them to the ipad.  I could copy but not paste.  If I reinstalled them on the memory card, the ipad did not recognize them.

    The iPad can be pretty picky.
    One way, if you sync your iPad to your computer, is to use iTunes to 'sync' the photos onto the iPad. Of course that has the downside of if you sync them on you have to use iTunes to sync them off.
    Or you can download the iCloud control panel and use photostream to put the photos onto your iPad. WHen you install the iCloud panel and enable photo stream it'll put a folder on your computer. Import photos into that folder and they'll go onto your iPad (they do transfer via wifi so it's not exactly an instant thing, might take a few minutes depending on your network and file size.
    Or, if you have a few, you can e-mail them to yourself, open that mail on your ipad and save them from there.
    Or, to use the camera kit, you can import htem onto your iPad, but the camera connection kit requires a very specific naming protocol. There must be a folder named DCIM on your memory card, and then all files on that card must be in that folder and have a name of 8 characters. If you follow the naming convention, once you plug the memory card in the iPad will see it and allow you to import the photos.
    there are also third party photo apps I just dont' have any to recommend.
    One more thing to bear in mind, even if you rename the files, the ipad persists in organizing the photos by date, so I'd experiment and make sure it doesn't totally rearrange your files before you spend a lot of time on it. (third party apps may respect the name of the photo and organize it that way rather than by date first, then name)

  • How do you download iphone camera pictures onto my pc

    I would like to know how to download camera pictures from my iphone to my pc ???.

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    How have you imported photos from any other digital camera with your computer?
    One option is the Windoze Scanner and Camera Wizard.

  • Is there a fix for the lousy (grainy) camera pictures on the 4s after iOS7?

    Is there a fix for the lousy (grainy) camera pictures on the 4s after iOS7?

    Rudegar, thanks for responding. The camera (front and rear facing) were both fine in poor lighting prior to the iOS7 upgrade. Now, the pictures in poor lighting are very grainy. I am wondering if this is because the new OS was designed for retina display and maynot be backward compatible for iPhone 4S.
