[Elephone P9000 Questions & Answers] SniKKaz:
Hey guys,

got my p9000 since yesterday and its pretty cool.....I loved the dng photos on my OnePlus One! One reason why I bought a P9000 was the dng function of the camera. But I can't load the photos in Photoshop or in any other programme that supports dng/raw files. Even the Snapspeed App can't load it.

So I installed twrp and a different rom today...wiped everything and hoped for the best, but still got the same problem...

is it a known bug?

thanks

Hi,

Install the last .apk attached to the post. It's a camera app, that supports the dng's. Other software like Lightroom and Snapseed then recognise the formats.

Great little piece of hardware to give those users who are missing the audio BT link on there older cars.

I currently use this with my 2008 toyota and android device running spotify.

Hardware is of a slim design with great build quality. The cords provided are of adequate length to make all connections. I had no issues connecting multiple devices to unit and getting BT to pair.

I love how this unit comes with an included noise cancellation piece which prevents the ground humming to sound across speakers. Many similar units sold on Amazon do not come with that very important piece. Audio quality was top notch.

The wave gestures is a cool innovation but I did not have the best experience with it. At times when waving hand I would be taking my eye off road to make sure I was waving directly in front and other times it was changing songs accidently with movements occurring in car.

When placed in my 2008 Toyota, there is a good spot on the lower part of the dash by key hole but when I moved knee it would invoke song change. My personal preference would be the hard buttons to push to change songs. It all comes down to personal preference and the available location to place in car.

I also love how it has a 1 and 2 amp port on cigarette lighter adapter. Others I have tested only had 1amp port.

One of the ports is used to connect this unit. I wish this unit was hard corded to power adapter and two USB ports were available.

I also came across a promotional code for those that might be interested.

Is anyone successing using the Kaiser with a Slingbox? I have the latest version of the SB Mobile software that is supposed to run on WM6 but it's very unstable and crashes constantly. I did determine that running Wisbar Advanced would make it crash every time it tried to connect, but shutting that down before starting the program only slightly improved it's stability. I generally can connect and watch video, but any menu options will crash it, as will trying to disconnect and connect again. The Slingbox folks are no help at all, they say the Tilt is not a supported phone (what the heck is WM6 support supposed to mean then??) I'm using the stock HTC ROM, nothing custom or fancy that should be causing problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
I have a Kaiser/unlocked TyTN II. Works fine for me. There have been some with browser proxy issues. Do a search on this forum for details.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] URPREY:
Works great on my Tilt and has from day 1. Try a hard reset and only install SP mobile to isolate your issue. It's likely another piece of software causing the problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
I did search the forum for any comments on sling player, but didn't find much more than a couple mentions of it, only person mentioning a problem was on a thread about the WIMP GPS tracking program. Not sure what you are referring to about a browser proxy issue, what browser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Aggh, I have been through so many stinking hard resets with this device so far, I just can't stand wasting yet another day trying to reinstall everything *again*. It just seems like every program I attempt to put on it causes something else to break. And I've tried very hard to only install stuff that is stated to work for WM6. But no matter, I have these constant issues all the time. If it's not crashes, it's email failing to check or alarms not going off, or the time not updating properly or whatever. It's really getting frustrating, why is it so freaking hard for Microsoft to write an OS that *works*?! Between Window Mobile and Vista, it's a wonder that more people haven't jumped ship at this point.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Wow, sorry it's been so agro. I can say that I have one of the first out Kaisers, running Sling Mobile and a slew of other progs, Wimp, iGuidance, Google Maps, MS Live, ContactsCM, PocketInformant, JournalBar, and my SlingBox has never hung. I've not hard reset yet and seldom soft reset. So I know that it can work, you need to start out with a fresh install and add 1 thing a time till you find the problem progs. One of them is messing with you, and unfortunately you've got to find it, one fricking app at a time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Well, hard-resetting did make the SlingPlayer run flawlessly. I've been slowing adding stuff back on over the last day but have yet to run into whatever it was that was causing the problem. I was hoping it would be something obvious, so I could just restore from backup and not have to spend a lot of time on this, but of course, I couldn't be that lucky and have to put hours of work into it....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I tend to back up a lot as I add apps and test (I prefer SBP Backup), kinda like setting restore points in windows, just in case that last straw app trashes things. Seems the shell progs cause the most issues.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
I generally do as well...in this case though the last app I installed *was* the Slingbox Player, so going back to earlier backups wouldn't necessarily save me any time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I see, I always load Sling 1st then Core player and go from there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
My slingbox wasn't currently connected and running, so I hadn't bothered to download and load the mobile player yet. I don't even have it registered yet, as on my old phone, I never got a good enough connection to get much use out of it. It definitely flies on this phone though!

I'm beginning to wonder if it was simply the order of install that made the difference, as I have all but a couple things reinstalled and it still is working fine. Had one lock-up yesterday from trying to go to fullscreen and back again, but it's definitely far more stable than I was getting before.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
I must say as well, this player really blows any other internet TV options out the window! The playback quality really is awesome and being able to watch my own favorite shows at any time is so cool. I never got a ton of use from the Slingbox in the past because a lot of times when I travel I just didn't have access to a good high-speed connection, I'm glad I will finally really be getting some good use out of it. Only problem is that I have the classic model that has these crappy mini-jack inputs with input only (no video pass-through) and I don't have enough outputs on my Tivo as a result to connect everything that I use at once. So I'm trying to decide if it's worth paying to upgrade to a new Slingbox or not. I would guess that the Slingbox Solo would also do a better job with all the HD stuff and correct the aspect a bit better (with the classic, the image is always a bit squished).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Well, haven't quite solved my Sling Player Mobile issues. It seems to work fine over 3G, but crashes every time if I try to connect over my home Wifi connection. Anyone else seeing this? I'd prefer to use the Wifi when available to not overuse the phone service too much (not sure if AT&T really is monitoring this, but no point in testing it if I don't have to!)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jcleek:
It is easy to point the finger at Microsoft but the fact is that your problems are almost certainly caused by one or more applications you installed which were not well written and are causing resource conflicts.

You may recall a few years ago when Microsoft went to a signed driver model. Lots of people complained about it, especially companies that produce hardware. But what did we get for it? Fewer crashes and resource conflicts caused by driver incompatabilities. If the mobile world would develop some standards in development and testing the problems you are seeing would become less frequent and easier to resolve.

Is Microsoft perfect? HA! Far from it. But make sure you are pointing the finger at the real culprit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Sorry, but this I feel is just a convenient excuse. Yes, you can occasionally run into a really badly written app that causes problems, but I'm talking about constant issues, and I am using all programs that are very mainstream and heavily used by many other PPC users. I used Palm devices for many years and never had the kinds of problems I've had with Windows Mobile devices. And these are problems it's had for YEARS. My very first Pocket PC device (HP Jornada) many years ago had issues with waking up and sounding alarms. Here I am years later, and this *still* is a problem. Look at all the people complaining about the device not waking up to check email. You really want to try and say it's due to something else they have installed that's causing the problem? Come on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MATTHEWLONG:
Can I ask a question to you guys about what sort of frames per second you are getting. I am sitting here with my TYTN 2 getting about 8 FPS on Hsdpa full signal. Any thoughts on why the FPS might be so low?.

Many thanks.

Matt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MATTHEWLONG:
I have had a look about on the net and the seetings that seem to be the best are 65 bitrate ,full FPS, 30 iframe. I am now getting a good 24 FPS. I hope this helps someone.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] notrhj:
I am Sorry, that YOU loaded something that didn't come with your product and it broke.

Out of the Box my Tilt checks email. Vanilla JUST about everything works as advertised. Does the Tilt have bugs ? Sure everything has bugs.

Using a password and coming out of suspend the back-light is DIM. Completely unreadable in sunlight. Not an OS issue as other WM6 devices didn't have this problem.

Microsoft has a responsibility to make this OS robust. I think they have come along way since 2003, WM5, moving toward WM6. As for Palm there have been multiple version of their OS mostly geared toward PDA's.

Every OS has issues thats why we get new versions.

If I load something that isn't from Microsoft and it breaks, how is that a WM6 fault ? All blame aside do you really expect Microsoft (or anyone else) to regression test every possible version and combination of application out there so YOU will be happy. I am guessing here but I don't believe Microsoft will show up and fix it, nor will HTC. YOU get to fix it

Slingplayer isn't perfect. There have been multiple versions since the beta all aimed at refining their product.

I use it, and like it, so much so that if an app breaks Slingplayer I remove that app not Slingplayer. Others may feel the same way about a Wishbar or an SPB product. If an application is considered CORE that should go in first warts and all.

I installed Microsoft Live search with beta voice support. Cool app like Google maps. It locked up my device hard, twice, and I had to stylus reset to recover. Was it this beta or something else that didnt play nice? I removed the 'not ready for prime time' search application and all is well.

Any application that hooks API's and interrupts in an attempt to supplement and extend functionality is suspect.

That Tilt is a very complex little product. If you are striving to improve its functionality beyond what came in the box, it will be up to you to strike a balance as to what works for you.

Frustrating, at times....

Fun, it can be. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars to be eternally pissed off.

And when it stops being fun and or productive maybe a different OS or closed venue like the iPhone might be a better way to go.

These forums are here to help. We are trying to look for solutions to make these products as cool as they can be.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Wow, you must be some kind of magician to just come to that conclusion. I have had PPC devices that did NOT work as advertised out of the box. My last one never was able to properly connect with Wifi. I did a hard reset all the way back to nothing but the core apps and it still had problems. The manufacturer blamed it on my router (even though my laptop and Palm device previously had no issues) but I still went out and got another router...and still had problems.

Gee, aren't you lucky then. The fact that it works for you does not therefore mean it works for everyone else, particularly since there are many different types of email servers that it needs to connect properly to. With the HTC home app running and nothing else whatsoever installed on my Tilt, I had issues with it checking email.

Exactly...and from where I stand, they've not made as much progress in this area as they need to.

As you JUST said above, they have a responsibility to make the OS robust. If it was a matter of a single app causing a problem, that's one thing. But it's not, it's a problem with the Windows Mobile platform. How many times do you see on this forum people told they will need to hard-reset their device because of a problem? That's just absurd. If I had to reformat my desktop every time it started misbehaving because of something new I installed, I'd be up in arms!

This is just an absurd statement. I don't expect them to regression test every combination of apps on Windows XP, but I also expect if I install something it's not going to bring my entire system to a crashing halt. But even if it does, on those very rare occasions if you are using legitimate software, at least I have a system restore point to get my device back to a working state, or can boot into safe mode to remove the offending program, etc. Where is the similar type of functionality for Windows Mobile?? Oh, I have to get a 3rd party app like Sprite Backup for that kind of thing. Of course, I had issues with that crashing on me as well (only some of the backup options work).

Well, I've gone as far as hard-resetting the device and installing ONLY SlingPlayer and it still crashed on me when trying to connect over Wifi. So who do I blame for that one? If I have nothing else on my device other than the core apps and SlingPlayer and it still doesn't work for me and it works for other people, what then??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] URPREY:
So you've had issues with WM devices connecting via Wifi before? Does it work on someone else's Wifi network?

Which version of Slingplayer are you using? When you say it crashes, does it actually crash or just closes itself?

Also, the HTC Home plugin should have zero effect on checking email.

You can blame the software/hardware, but I don't think there are any other users having so many unique issues. Maybe WM isn't for you?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
My previous issues were in getting any Wifi connection at all. The Tilt connects without issue, it's just Slingbox that doesn't seem able to use it.

The latest one off their site. It completely locks up such that I have to reset my device to try again. Sometimes, it crashes the entire device, but usually just the program itself locks up. I originally had this issue even with it over 3G, but doing a hard reset seems to have corrected that for the most part (it still does sometimes crash but rarely). [/QUOTE]

I agree, it shouldn't. I'm not sure if it's the Home Plugin itself or the task manager but removing these cleared up my issues for the most part.

Hhm, not sure what you mean by "unique" issues. Perhaps my Sling issue is unique, but that's hard to say with so few people using it. Certainly the problems with email and alarms is VERY common, just from the number of threads on this forum. And yes, I've thought about going back to a Palm, but it would be expensive to switch all my software (even companies that do both often make you register the Palm version) and even more expensive to switch devices. I can't say there are any Palm Smartphones that thrill me much on the HW side either. I have enough trouble downgrading from my VGA PPC!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] notrhj:
I am running Gmail IMAP and Yahoo POP without issues.

The point or reverse logic is just because something like email or WIFI Fails for you doesn't mean every one has problems.

On a positive note if it works for some it should be able to work for you also.

Third Party ? Sprint Backup is INCLUDED (HTC Edition) with your Tilt and can be found in the tools directory under programs.

TODAY I installed sling player mobile (for Pocket PC NOT smartphone) and made sure by doing an upgrade over an edge connection that I had the latest version 1.5.0.98.

I configured a WIFI (G) router a D-Link DI-524.

Connection on channel 1 54 Mbps using WPA-PSK and TKIP encryption.

SSID not broadcast Hidden.

My Slingbox Pro is running a cable antenna connection with firmware is 1.0.11 updated 11-30-2006, Hardware 1.34.1

I put the handset into flight mode to make sure there was no Edge / 3G radio issues. Then started WIFI, then Sling Mobile. I have been streaming now for 45 minutes at 14-24 Fps and 300-400 Kbps with no problems.

Well maybe one problem, I am watching my battery level drop ;).

I also re-enable the Phone radio and bluetooth and placed a call to the handset.

Sling media didn't skip a beat. It did mute the sound but toggling back to the player the Video stream was fine. Terminating the call and the sound returned. Its been running for more than an hour.

If you can get Slingmedia to stream over edge or 3G it sounds like a WIFI issue. The WIFI connection has to be solid to support streaming.

Update :

It ran for about 2.5 hours before the battery was sucked dry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
I never said it did. But to say any problem I (or anyone else has) can be blamed on whatever software they installed is just as false an assumption.

Again, a false assumption. How do you know there is not some hardware issue on some devices that may cause wakeup problems or some other problem with getting email? Not saying there is, but you cannot assume that because it works for you, it will work for everyone else.

I assume you mean Sprite Backup...I'm using the stock HTC Rom which does not have that. And yes, any manufacturer can load a 3rd party backup program, but most do not. It's not a replacement for having something built into the OS that will recover from a major problem.

I have tried this on 3 different Wifi networks and it does the same thing every time. I've tried turning off WEP, turning off the phone, having the phone on, just about everything I can think of. No luck. It doesn't even get to the point of streaming, it just hangs trying to connect to the Slingbox. I have no problems with Wifi doing anything else (web, email, etc.) so I know it's most likely some issue with the player on my particular phone, but that doesn't exactly help me solve the problem. At this point, I've given up, it just does not seem to be able to use the Wifi and Sling Media won't help at all, their only response is that the Tilt is not a supported device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] URPREY:
What firmware is on your Slingbox classic? I have a SB classic as well as a Pro and my Tilt works great with both of them. They are both on the latest firmware versions.

Did it do the same thing on the AT&T ROM?

What kind of router are you using? If it's a G or N router, are there B devices that also connect? How do you have the settings for network speed configured on the wireless part of the router?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
I'm actually using the Slingbox Solo now...both the classic and Solo were/are running the latest firmware. I've not tested it on the AT&T Rom, I dumped that right away for the HTC stock ROM (not a cooked ROM or anything like that).

My current router is a Buffalo Mimo G router. I don't know that I have any B devices at this point I could try with it, how would that make a difference? I did try turning off some of the turbo speed settings, but that didn't seem to help either. My previous router was just your basic G router and I had the same issues with that one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I will say that the Slingbox normally works fine with Kaiser. I have a couple of Classics, an HD, and a Solo and they all work fine. I often turn off all radios cept WiFi, use earbuds and stream my networked Replays in bed, like reading a book, on my 8525 and now Kaiser. I use Linksys G AP's around the house and get 25-30 fps around 300k streaming. Connects take about 3-5 seconds and the Kaiser will stream this way for almost 4 hours with backlight low.

I use "Hidden Network", WPA-PSK, TKIP and connects to my home LAN are very fast, just a couple of seconds.

My point is this is normally a very stable setup using WiFi with WM6 devices. I would double check that you have good WiFi performance with your Kaiser/Tilt on some internet audio or youtube sites to verify that the phone is OK. Then I'd re-setup the Slingbox and manually set my ports in the router and double check things there. I'd run the PC player on a WiFi Laptop on my home LAN to verify that Slingbox streams OK to it.

Fun Fun Fun.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maryjos:
Aggh, I hate hearing that! I'm pretty much ready to give up at this point, but it sure would be nice to get that kind of stream. I'm fairly lucky that I have a good 3G connection at home, so I can use that, just didn't want to give AT&T any reason to think I might be overusing my account (i.e. tethering). And there are times when I have Wifi but no good phone connection (at my parent's house for one).

Yup, I've already been through removing and resetting everything up again, resetting the router, all that. And yes, Wifi works just great for everything else that I've tried. The only other problem is that the Tilt won't wake up and check email with just Wifi turned on, not sure if that is typical or not. The PC SlingPlayer streams over Wifi beautifully on my laptop. I think when I get back from my upcoming trip, I may drag out my old PDA which I haven't sold yet and see if I can get the Wifi and SlingPlayer working on that.

Thanks for the suggestions. It's always frustrating when you have a problem that doesn't seem to be effecting anyone else. It just seems to be my lot in life when it comes to Windows Mobile devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trojanvision:
I've had problems with Sling Player for WM v. 1.5 on the stock AT&T Tilt ROM and on some custom ROMs here, but the HTC ROM and Sling works fine for me.

I've been using the wap.cingular setting, not the isp.cingular if that will help/work for anyone else.
