^ What are you trying to pick up? Because I tried to pick up a trash can and I couldn't. So I found something small (I think it was a rock) next to the trash and I was able to pick that up.
 
I was pressing that and nothing happened.

I had the same problem on that mission. I did manage to pick something up but it was just a paper cup, and that did not break the window and I then couldn't find the brick that I was suppose to pick up so I just broke the window with my pistol.
 
and like other people have said, once your headlights gets smashed, driving at night is very problematic.

I've heard other people say that and I haven't had any issues at all driving at night with no lights. I can drive at night but can't see the text messages, and you can see the text messages just fine, but night driving without headlights is a problem. How bizzare, it just amazes me how differently this game renders itself on different TVs.

I suggest that if you are having trouble reading the text on the cell phone that you change the text size to large and go and pay 100 bucks of in game money for a different theme for you phone. It changes the background and the text color.

Where pray tell do you do that at?
 
Ok, and how would one go about that? Is this something you can do the original phone? I ask that because I understand that at some point in the game, you get an upgraded model. So I'm wondering if this might not be possible with the original phone.

But if I can do it, $100 of in game money? I'm so there!
 
^ I honestly don't know. I've never done it myself. I do think I saw an add for it while browsing the web (in the game) though.
 
Well it appears that GTA:4 did not negatively impact the Iron Man opening as some media outlets had predicted. Meh I don't get the fascination with this game anyway.

Thanks. The first chance I get, I'll see what I can turn up at the internet cafe. I've been there several times getting car missions from Brucie, but I've never really spent anytime browsing the web there.
 
I think the website in game is something like vipringtones. You can usually find it on the homepage, that's where I saw it. My ringtone is currently two lesbians moaning.
 
Finally picked up a can of beans or something, cant see why he cant pick up the trashcan.

The night time driving is less of an issue if your room is dark, any reflections on the screen though and you can forget about it

Thanks! I'm going to give that a try. If I can change to a different color or different background, I think that will solve my problem.

Did the game not give you the tutorial?

L1 (the top left shoulder button) picks up objects. But you've practicaly got to be standing on them to do it and it has to be a pick-upable object.

Imagine that. Driving at night without healights is hard. ;)

I had to turn the brightness all the way up on both the game and TV to see things well, and fool with the contrast too.
 
Thing is just because a TV looks "good" doesn't mean it's correctly calibrated. Different TV's can also handle different inputs differently.

Personally, I haven't had a huge issue driving at nights even with my headlights out. Sure, it's a bit harder, but all the other cars have lights too. Also I've noticed a few times I'll have blown my lights but my brights will still be working and I can flick them on and off... until I hit something again, at least ;) No issues reading the text on the phone either (and I just got the fancy new phone last night as well).

Unfortunately it doesn't work with the original phone. It told me my current phone wouldn't support the themes.

Oh well, I guess I'll be getting out of my chair to read text messages for awhile.
 
Hah, I totally forgot that I'm one of two people who sits close to their monitor and plays their console games like PC games.
 
Where is the in-phone option to increase the text size? I can't find it. I can read the text fine, but I've had problems with a couple phone numbers, so the larger font would be nice for that.
 
Interesting responses, I can play at night with no problem. Smashing the headlights is merely a cosmetic thing to my gameplay generally.

I did have a hard time with that mission where you throw a can through the window. That was hard to see in the dark and I kept thinking you were supposed to throw the trash can as well.

There are brightness and contrast options available from the menu screen. That hasn't helped at all?
