[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Deathace:
Dizzy: You have posted a well structured critical posting for you opinions of the kaiser and I can only say that I am sorry it does not work out for you.

I have the T-Mobile version of the TyTN II and I do not have the problems you have with the keys moving about (its the only version that's different) the d-pad is the same size top,bottom, left and right and for most part i have not had any problems with the rendering of divx movies on my device (I use pocket divx encoder to convert the films (films are 250mb)) as for games I have a few 3d based games like tiger woods and need for speed and they seem to play better on the kaiser than they did on the wizard even when that was overclocked with omapclock.

For the rest of the niggles you and others have mentioned, your right that we should not have to put up with them but there is not too much of a problem to work round them (software or firmware) so in time I'm sure we will fix a lot of the problems that HTC should have fixed but have not.

It might be worth leaving it a while and see what happens and perhaps buy a UK T-Mobile one later when other things are fixed?

About the DivX file reading, yes you can read them if you encoded it with pocketdivx, you're right. Actually, you can do that with any pocketpc on the market, even with the cheapest one. But my problem is that when you look at the Qualcomm capabilities, you see that it should read VGA videos, without the need to convert them (my good old Axim X50V could do that, and it is now about 4 years old !). It would be, from my point of view, a lot more interesting if we could directly put the divx file into the Kaiser without having to convert it to some format each time. As we know, it's all the fault of HTC wich did not make the drivers to give the Qualcomm capabilities to us, but, again, we paid for it !!!!!!!

Like you said, maybe I should give more time to my Kaiser, maybe someone (of course not an HTC people) will program the drivers for us, but it's all "maybe", and if I don't want to lose much money on my Kaiser, the sooner I sell it, the better it is.

I would really like to ear someone saying "hey, a driver to use the Qualcomm capabilities will be out soon", I would then really give more time to my Kaiser, but for now the only thing we have is the petition, and I guess HTC will not listen to us. Why would they ? So many people are using it only for its professionnal use (phone/GPS/emails etc...), I think they will not listen to 2000 people (if we are !), when the device is sold to something like dozens of thousand people, and I may be far from the real count.

I would definitly prefere to keep it, but it does not fit all my needs unfortunatly.

I would like to advise future buyers of this device that it is not as perfect as we can read in the reviews. If it's for a strictly professional use, it may be OK, but for entertainment, my advise would be "buy something else !".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pjwilkin:
This is the main reason that my next phone will not be a HTC phone. The obviously poor quality of the Video in a "premium" product means that when I am "able" to upgrade my handset, it wont be HTC.

Phones like the LG Viewty and even the iPhone put this pile-of-crap to shame not obly for video and audio, but in the case of the Viewty for Camera quality.

I gave up on using the camera on my Kaiser/VarioIII within a week. The usability of the camera is poor (to juddery)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Thanks a lot !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the-uki:
Hey, if you think Kaiser is bad, then have a look at Eten X800. Check-out their forum, and then you'll find out what's really bad.

Bottom line is Kaiser is very usable, whereas the X800 is not usable at all, isn't that the first thing that counts, even before looking at feature and function?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gogol:
I will also sell Kaiser ... once I got a similiar replacement (probably Imate Ultimate 9502?).

I agree, for entertainment, Kaiser is the worst HTC product!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jhego:
I for one like this better than the TYTN. For one thing, spring-loaded keyboard sold me to it. I hated how the TYTN keyboard gets loose after several uses. I must've replaced it 3-4 times under warranty. All of them turned out the same and when i finally dropped the phone due to mishandling caused by the looseness of the keyboard, that was it.... My only main gripe is the power button that i wished they somewhat elevated and what everyone is complaining about and that is the video driver support. But i'll give it time since it just came out less than a month or 2 ago. Then the GPS, 3mp camera are just little extras that made me want it some more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] coincoinlapin:
Thanks for this initial post...

I've come to the same conclusions WITHOUT even buying the kaiser which was supposed to become my first smartphone.

In a nutshell: I'm not buying anything Qualcomm...I'd rather wait for a google phone and I think I'd feel more comfortable if it had an nvidia goforce chip in it.

See you in Q3 2008 for these new htc phones and I guess I'll just get shoes for christmas :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] draxredd:
Agreed. But Kaiser has so more untaped potential it's really frustrating HTC/Qualcomm gimped their hardware support.

It's also very shortsighted as HTC will be using the qualcomm platform for many products to come, and the kaiser "botch", when it will reach enough exposure, will certainly dent their sales.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RPG0:
Hehe, the irony... The first Android phone (google phone) has a Qualcomm chip in it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TroyBoy30:
it plays games? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
I'm sorry but I don't care about the fact that some other devices are worst. This does not make me like more my own device. The Kaiser problems are still there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brynweb:
The main gripe with the Kaiser is speed. I hope that some day soon a clever bunny writes an Omap type app that'll overclock the Qualcomm. This, I'm sure, will make the device very usable.

If only I was the clever bunny.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] akash_84:
sounds like you want a PSP rather than a phone :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] coincoinlapin:
Do you already have specs for the first htc gphone??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
Overclocking would be cool, but that will drain faster our batteries, that's also why Qualcomm drivers would be really usefull for us.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] elvin669:
HTC TyTN II disappointing performance

I generally agree with dizzy although I am not a game enthusiast. I was formerly using Artemis Dopod P800W with and an Omap processor overclocked at 245Mhz for about a year and four months ago I changed to HTC TyTN II because I needed to upgrade to a 3G phone. I am very impressed with dizzy's detailed descriptions of the flaws of TyTN II which I don't think I can do any better.

I would only like to add to it the battery consumption is extremely high and temperature can reach up to 48°C but speed performance is still no better than the Omap processor.

Another disappointment to this device is that it has no FM tuner built in. It is really unimaginable that such a heavy bulky unit with a 400Mhz processor cannot even pack in such a commonly used feature.

Last but not least, the second VGA camera is only good for making 3G call but is of no use when you expect it to act like a web cam for messenger or Skype call.

I am also considering to get rid of this device as soon as a better one is available in my country.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] halftone:
There are cobwebs in here :)

I have had my kaiser for about 2 weeks now after upgrading from a SE K810i for phone, and an iPaq hx2110 for pda/sat nav.

I very rarely carry a bag, so when i am out I used to have 4 full pockets, phone, pda, wallet, car stereo/keys. My main reason for chosing the kaiser was to only have to carry around 1 item, not 3 (phone, pda, gps), and so far, while the kaiser is a bit bulkier, I am happy with my decision on that.

I'll admit, I havnt tried viewing any videos at all, but I dont need to, i bought it for a phone, not a multimedia device, for that i have an ipod.

But ... I didnt read any of the press when it was first released, so im not sure if it was promoted as a multimedia device, if it was, ignore this line, from what I have read on here, its pretty poor at video playback.

So far, for what I needed it for, its worked perfectly. Phone calls are fine, the calander/notes/email/web/tomtom have all been perfect, and I couldnt be happier with my choice.

I started with it on WM6.0, then 6.1, after reading into things a bit more here I then upgraded to an older dutty rom, then to the latest, but now went back to the original O2 rom, then back up to 6.1.

People very rarely post how happy they are with a standard product anymore, to new users searching, all they see are the problem posts, so here is my positive reply :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ProudPop83:
I have to agree with Halftone... although I do see it being a very very wrong thing to do by releasing the tilt without the proper support. I dont use my tilt for video purposes, so for me the tilt is an amazing device. If i used it for videos then I could understand *****ing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] gwnorth:
I suppose it does pale compared to other mulitmedia phones, but I don't really know. The things I really needed in a PDA-phone were:

- good email support (IMAP and exchange) - Tilt is excellent

- enterprise exchange support (for work mail and calendar ) - again, excellent

- GPS/Navigation capabilities - excellent

- wifi was a must, for the times I need speed (I live in a non-3G area)

- general PDA use (note taking and such utilitarian things) - excellent

Sure, I've watched a few youtube and other videos on it, and they seem fine for my occasional distractions. Other then that, I have not explored the multimedia aspects of my Tilt. I have no games as I don't see the point of them on my phone, never did on my PDA's over the years either.

I also have no music on mine as I rarely would use it for such. I do have BeyondPod on it, and listen to podcasts sometimes (like walking up to my office, or once at the back of the room in a really boring meeting :) - I have a Jabra BT8040).

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion of course. And I can see why someone who places emphasis on gaming and video may dislike the 8925. But I would ask them why they considered it in the first place? If those kinds of things were top on my list of must haves in a phone, a quick look through phonescoop would have had me taking the Tilt off my list in favour of other devices. For somewhat the opposite reasons, I never even seriously considered an iPhone - too much a fun-factor device, not enough attention to utilitarian (PDA) type features
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ProudPop83:
Well thats the issue... Alot of people bought the device thinking it would support the gaming and video functions, it was even advertised has being able to do these things, come to find out that it can't. Im with you though I dont have alot of games or anything on my tilt because I dont use them that much, so for me it's excellent. but i completely understand the frustration and anger of others.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CraZyLiLbOy:
The kaiser was not made for games. Buy a psp instead
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ProudPop83:
LMAO.... I own a PSP for gaming... it's what i use on the boat.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greenbrd:
Using that logic, I suppose anybody who has WinXP Pro on their desktop should not expect to watch videos. And people should not expect to be able to watch videos on their computers at work, because those are "business" tools, not "entertainment" tools.

Playing video is a basic function that PDAs have been able to accomodate for years. Why does my 5-year old WM2003-powered Dell Axim play videos better than my new WM6-powered Tilt?

Better yet, if the Tilt/Kaiser was not intended to be used as an entertainment device, then why didn't HTC strip Windows Media Player from their ROMs?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ProudPop83:
See I ride the fence on this issue.. I completely understand why people are mad at HTC. As for me personally, the tilt does everything I need and then some. I do use WMP for music, I use Slick to IM, and I get my emails when I need them. I rarely use the youtube or TCMP (although I have it) just because I'm usually chasing to small rugrats two be able to. LOL. So I can argue both sides of the story. But again I'm happy with mine. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CraZyLiLbOy:
I'm happy with mine too. It does everything I want. The Tytn II has been designed and developed to enable business users to take advantage of the latest high speed data and multimedia content and applications. It was not designed for gaming. For me, the tytn II is one of the best ppc's on the market.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kilrah:
I've had an Axim too, I was also converting the videos as I do now and they were playing fine.

But the important point is that in those 5 years there hasn't been any significant improvement in the core technologies that are used in PDAs. We're still using ARM processors in the 400MHz range, just like in the Axim... OK those are later revisions, but the performance increase is far away from what we see in desktop computers. Instead of increasing speed they rather concentrate on reducing consumption, and adding more and more peripherals with BT, WiFi, 3G, cameras etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MACkjam:
I thought that I might join those with a positive response for the HTC TyTN II.

I really use my TyTN II. I mean REALLY use it. ie.:

1. I use it for business, eg. emails, contacts, calendar, powerpoint, word etc.

2. I use the GPS almost every day. (TomTom and Handimap for South Africa)

3. I occasionally use the internet (Netfront or Opera 8.6)

4. As a phone

5. I play lots of games - most of them 3D

6. I Use it as an MP3 player (Mortplayer)

7. I watch Flash videos (Music and other videos)

8. I watch movies on Coreplayer - I use PocketDivX Encoder or

DVD Fab Platinum 4.

9. As a daily alarm.

10. I use Vito Audionotes as a dictaphone.

11. As a PDA

12. As a Mass storage device. (I have recently ordered an 8gb card which should be arriving in about 10 days)

The list is almost endless in the use I get out of it.

My previous phone was an iMate KJam (Wizard) which my wife now uses. The TyTN II is MIIIIIIIIIIIILES ahead of the Wizard ito performance, button layout, weight, size, functions, etc etc etc.

I am VERY happy with my unit and my next one will probably be a TyTN III or the Xperia X1 (Also made by HTC) which my wife is going to get.

I have the stock standard ROM that I bought it with. I backup regularly with SPB Backup.

My unit blows people away and I am also including the iPhoney owners here!!!

LONG LIVE THE KAISER!!!!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
I've had differing views on this over the 7 months I've owned this phone.

On principle, I supported the campaign for drivers etc, because I do believe HTC should have done more to unlock the potential of the phone. It should be better at video etc, and there's really no good reason why it's not, other than that HTC cut corners on the software support. The hardware is there, but HTC made a purely strategic decision not to use it, which has obviosly surprised and dissapointed many of their customers.

HOWEVER...

I don't watch a lot of video, if I'm honest, and I certainly don't play any 3D games (Scrabble is about my limit). With that in mind, the Kaiser is perfect for me, and has been a very faithful and reliable companion over the last 7 months. It's absolutely excellent for everything I use it for (and that includes plenty of internet, email, work tasks, all the normal PDA stuff, TomTom, and music) and I've simply not seen anything that gets close to it as a complete package - not a thing. It's reliable as the day is long, and it's completely changed (and improved) the way I work in and out of the office with the way it effortlessly syncs wherever I am, and I just can't fault it from that point of view. Yes, other PDAs can what the kaiser does on paper, but I've not used anything that does it quite as successfully, day in and day out.

It needs a few tweaks to get the best out of it, and the 6.1 update has improved things still further (for me at least), but I have to say I've not before enjoyed a device for quite as long as I have the kaiser. It's a funny feeling seeing the "Tytn III" now released in the form of the Touch Pro, and not immediately feeling that I have to have it...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xxx_mosh:
if you want to play games so bad get a gameboy -_-
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dizzy33:
It's not only supposed to be a professional device ! You're talking about the box, did you look inside the box ? Look at the place where the Kaiser was inside the box. Around it, you will see kind of icons related to music and videos (maybe also gaming but I'm not sure about this one). So this means that this device should have multimedia capacities (and we all know how bad the Kaiser is reading videos, where a lot of much older devices perform better !).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _Alex_:
Great, another thread dug up and the *****ing ensues.

Folks, let's face facts. Whether you wanted to play games or not or use it for video or not, the hardware is there to do so, it's just that we don't have the drivers to properly interface with the hardware.

However, there are still alot of people that love this phone despite the lack of drivers. Us posting on a regular basis just proves that and I'm sure there are many *MANY* more that haven't even seen this forum and are happy...

Closing thread as this topic has been discussed to death.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] pinkfloydhomer:
I am aware that it is not the newest tablet and that there have been update problems etc.

But for a good price, it would still represents great value for me as a large screen, high definition android tablet. Unfortunately there are no virtually no competitors in this segment, and none at this price point.

Also, I don't need it for gaming or other performance intensive use. I would mainly use it as an everyday tablet to watch movies, search the web and one special use: for reading and playing from sheet music at the piano. For this, the size and resolution is perfect and I don't want to buy an iPad Pro or similar.

I am not aware of the state of this tablet on the latest firmware, if it is solid, annoying, unusable etc.

Should I buy it or stay away?

[HTC One A9] HarryCustom:
The vibration of my htc A9 no longer works well. The phone vibrates for notifications and phone calls, but, in vibration mode at office, it does not emit any noise when placed on any surface so I do not hear it.

I've rooted and s-off the phone so HTC support does not agree to repair it under warranty, even if it is a mechanical problem that that cannot be caused by the root on stock rom without any modification.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Obviously I did a hard reset, tried to do all the tests possible, but nothing changes. I also installed a module that carries the vibration Exposed to 200%, but you do not hear anything anyway.

At this point, however, I can do nothing, but I wanted to know if there is a way to set to vibrate the phone's ringer keeping active the sound of notifications.

Thanks in advance! :)
