That is completely untrue. I had a 2 year deal with AT&T that expired in March of 07. When the Tilt came out on newegg I was able to renew the exact same contract I had for another 2 years. I got the Tilt at their discounted price of $149. In the end I am paying the exact same amount I always was, no more, no less, and I got a Tilt for $149. The only condition is that I cannot change any part of my plan for 6 months and cannot make any late payments for six months. Ohhhhh no! No late payments for 6 months! I can handle that trade off for a $400 discount.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marm0lade:
The title of this thread is "This phone is not a graphics device, its a business tool".

According to who, exactly? The problem is that this device is capable of, and should be able to be a graphics device if someone purchased it for that. The chipset it is running is touted for all its capabilities, but we got seriously shafted by HTC.

Chainfire has posted benchmarks that show the chipset operates using less mA under hardware acceleration, as opposed to software acceleration (as it is now). Less mA means less heat. That should answer any speculation you have about what the drivers would do. The only thing they would do is make the device perform much more efficiently. HTC is 110% percent wrong for releasing the device without the proper drivers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Menneisyys:
This has always been a BIG problem with all the 2.8" non-Xscale-based HTC models. I've reported them on this issue several times, starting in late 2005 (Wizard); they still haven't been able to fix it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cushcalc:
I expected so much more . . .

I had a Wizard before my Tilt - yes it had some issues, which I tweaked with help from the good folks here, to the point that I was completely satisfied with all aspects of its performance.

When I got the Tilt, a 2 generations newer device, I expected to see roughly a doubling of speed in every day use of menus and basic applications, which I do not.

I expected to have a seamless experience in accessing and watching internet videos - but it has taken me hours of searching and tweaking to get to the point of being able to view some videos.

I expected a more stable device - less frequent lockups and need to reset - instead I have

more

- and the really weird temporary freezes that suddenly resolve just when I decide I'm going to have to reset - never had that with the Wizard.

I upgraded for the 3G and the GPS and the extra speed and memory mostly, but I expected that the hype of the fun stuff would be realized also, and it has not.

And the GPS is far from a seamless experience, compared to say the Blackberry 8830 which my son has, which worked quickly, smoothly, efficiently right out of the box - no having to "prime" the GPS with another utility.

Now, after 2 months of use, loving care and handling, and a lot of money spent in peripherals including adapters because it doesn't have a standard headphone jack, mine has suddenly today gone completely dead in the water. Will not turn on period - the Red Light of Death - despite trying 3 different batteries that have been charged in separate cradle and worked fine just yesterday.

Am I disappointed and frustrated? You're damn straight I am.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] namco:
If i had bought such a device and it performed poorly, i'd just return it immediatly as it doesn't deliver what it promises. Fortunately i can do that here where i live.

I usually research for some time before buying new and usually expensive devices so i get the best i can for my needs. Right now it's an Artemis, tomorrow we'll see. Like this i usually avoid buying stuff with "issues" or "lack of features". Doesn't save me all the time, but it seems to be a good bet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:
I did a lot of research in terms of reading reviews, previews, and researching the chipset they used and I also took some time to explore various forums.

Usually forums are the best place to spot problems.

I have a similar issue with my set top HD-box. Basically all reviews say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread but the threads on avsforum, german DVB forums and swedish home theatre forums are immense, thousands of people have huge issues and the manufacturer doing nothing about it.

Unfortunately I had never spent much time browsing PPC forums so I didn't really know which ones were considered authorities on the subject. Alas I found xda-developers AFTER I bought the phone.

The company from which I bought it does not have any return policy whatsoever when it comes to business client, only ptivate consumers, so I'm out of luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Aielman:
Yes...but by the same token, I don't expect to play Crysis at full settings on my Lenovo r60 either. I play that on a machine built for gaming.

My car isn't a business tool...it isn't purpose built at all. Most electronic devices are.

I'm not saying it's bad to want a better driver, but let's face it...we are stretching the intended use of the device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] briggs81:
I wish my business tool would display my business oriented day to day work correctly as advertised (Web and Multimedia, it's a business, what a surprise)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GilesTheAlmighty:
well judging on the spcs of the MSN7200, its like buying an Alienware laptop with a 8800GTX in it, then finidng out it won't play games proplerly or at all!

for some who do not use it as a graphics device, then thats fair enough, but for me personally, i bought it under the intention of using it as a graphics device! That is what it was advertised as, why else would they go into detail about how powerful it is n stuff with the DirectX this n OpenGL ES that ..

We paid for something that SHOULD perform better than it currently does .. its like buyinga new computer but leaving the graphics card out and making do with OnBoard graphics, in our case; Software rendering!

to be honest man i don't care if you think its ok, for the majority (or minority i'm not sure) of us i think i'm right in saying that we want our device to perform at its full potential.

My 2 pence
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] iservealot:
Not to mention that leaving the "Games/Graphics is not what you bought this device for" argument aside, the device still performs slowly on less "Graphicly" intense applications.

The camera slowness, TomTom lag slow updates and touch screen lag all pertain to poorly designed and missing driver support for the chipset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] donatom3:
Actually it's more like buying a computer with a high end video card, but not having any drivers available to use the video card so your main processor is doing double duty thus giving you inferior graphics.

People who think this little bit of software wont' make the device any better for them try this out.

Go to your computer disable your video card driver and instead enable VGA Device. You'll see how even the simple task of scrolling a web page moving a window opening your start menu all of a sudden makes your computer look like it was 10 years older. Plus we'll all be saving battery. Remember it takes a CPU of about 2 to 4 times more ghz/mhz to do the same job that a video processor can do. So yeah you business people just turning on your screen and switching between emails will actually be getting better battery life and it'll switch to those emails faster.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GilesTheAlmighty:
aggree totally with above two comments, you worded my computer thing a lot better!! *calls HTC again*

at least the word is getting around now, can only mean good, i like how on htcclassaction they said that the engineers must have noticed it, you can't build a phone and 'forget' to add drivers! made me chuckle
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] donatom3:
You want to know what's really sad. Look at this youtube video of the Touch

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj8PMcvYTZo

Notice it changes screens pretty fast?

Well I have the Sprint Touch MSM 7500. Mine doesn't change as fast, and guess what? That's the CDMA touch that uses a 200mhz processor where mine uses a 400 mhz dual core processor. This is proof that these drivers will make a HUGE difference.

I'm beggining to think that everyone is saying WinMo 6 is slow cuz the majority of people using WinMo 6 are using it on a HTC device that uses a MSM 7XXX chipset with no hardware video rendering.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cushcalc:
Hot, hot heat - battery? drivers?

Do you suppose this has anything to do with why the OEM battery has the metal plate on the back? I have not seen the definitive answer on why that is there, and also I have yet to see a non-OEM replacement battery that has that plate. Also, I mentioned it today to the HTC rep as I was doing my bit complaining about the video sluggishness, and he could not explain why the battery is like that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cushcalc:
True cost of the Tilt

Here's an interesting thing I just found out though, since I am having to return a dead Tilt (2 mo. old) for exchange - if, in their infinite wisdom, they determine that the unit was not defective but actually damaged by the user, they will charge me $525 for the replacement they are sending me.

So that $149 (or $199 that I paid thru Amazon since Newegg was backordered at the time) is a very conditional figure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cushcalc:
You should get what you pay for!

Here's just one more slant against your perspective:

I am Tilt-less at the moment, having to return a dead Tilt, and won't get new one for a few days. I am using my emergency backup, which is a Go-Phone Motorola c168i, which cost me all of $20 at Target. I plug my SIM card in, and I'm functional. This

$20

phone is of remarkably good quality, and it does

everything

the packaging said it could do, perfectly. In point of fact, it has

far exceeded

my expectations, given what I paid for it.

I think all us "gripers" have a reasonable expectation that a phone that costs 25 to 40 times as much (when all costs are take into account), should perform well, and fulfill its advertised and hyped feature claims to a much greater degree than this Kaiser is doing.

So, in contrast to my $20 phone described above, the Tilt has monumentally

underperformed

relative to its hype and my expectations, particularly when compared to my positive experience with my Wizard, 2 generations older.

I believe there is precedent in U.S. law that despite what a warranty may say in the fine print, the company behind a product can be held accountable if the product does not perform up to reasonable expectations based on product specifications and advertising.

For me the camera is a business tool.

I write software for the mobile medical profession and the camera is often used to take pictures of injuries and patients.

It's impossible to take a clear picture with the tytnII. HTC has NO answers or comments on the subject and it is extremely frustrating.

I wrote them a very long letter on the subject. I hope they respond but I doubt they will. Customer service doesn't seem to be part of their agenda.:mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meorah:
Why would it be? The vast majority of their customers are voice network carriers, not consumers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
is the start menu and video a buisness tool? what about the fact that when u touch the screen your CPU usage passes 75%?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Kalwren:
Wow, very good point. I never thought about this.

I too, have never been able to take a clear picture with my Tilt, unless I brace it on a table, hold it steady and my target isn't moving. I wait a moment for the screen to settle in and show no movement and then click the button.

Takes a couple seconds to register, then I get a picture. The quality is pretty good though. But taking a mobile picture looks like crap. I drink a bunch of caffeine and there is no way I'm going to be able to be steady while holding it, lol. :)

I do hope they fix this issue with the video drivers. I really enjoy this device, but the video performance is lacking.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mikeeey:
if the camera issue isnt fixed we can always relay on ateksoft to make a kaiser compatible build of coolcamera, that way we can control the exposure and toggle night mode. i would want to be able to control the AF lense while recording a video as well.

You can also do some pretty spectacular image manipulation with the "Free- but-a-donation-would-be-very-much-appreciated-ware" tool Paint.NET which can be found...believe it or not....at "Get Paint .NET" :D

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ansur_Mehdi:
Hello all,

I would like to raise a simple question today, as to ask WHY does the USC Variant of S6 and S6 Edge DO NOT receive any attention from the devs?I I have seen so many roms and different developments for probably EVERY variant of the S6 and S6 edge but NOT the US Cellular?? Is there any major hardware difference (which I dont see) or something else? Its really disturbing to have a BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED device and yet be so deprived of custom roms.

Thank you, please respond with reasons if someone can.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
the chip is not developer friendly.not worth blowing knox for this.im on the sm-g925f .and i wouldend have blown my chip if i had knowen the lack of development.so if you have a intact knox keep it as your going to have more issues with nougat 7.many app relay on knox and more to come.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ansur_Mehdi:
I dont have nougat since USC hasnt released the update yet, and since I once flashed a wrong Google Pixel based rom on it, my knox is probably tripped, PLUS I dont care about KNOX since I dont ever use mobile pay or related services, I will be more then happy to kick Knox out of my phone as a matter of fact :D

Anyways, If Exynos is not dev friendly, how did the devs release roms for AT&T, Verizon, TMob etc carriers? They sport the same chip, dont they?

Anyways thanks for the response!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ansur_Mehdi:
A question slightly out of the topic, CAN I FLASH A ROM FOR OTHER GS6 EDGE VARIANT ON USC?? If Yes, WHICH VARIANT ROMS CAN WORK ON THIS ONE?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
not to sure im only looking in to this myself .but i know what you mean.but the end of the day its not going to get any better for development on any versions of this device.regards Joe.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] SrZambie:
All ROMs I tried on my s6 edge never worked, even the unified ROMs. The touchscreen never worked which was from the kernel and unknown baseband version. If we had some custom kernels this might solve the issues if not the touchscreen issue.

thanks to this website's several topics and comments i could save my samsung g530h from planned obsolescence

i got this phone from my girlfriend now in 03.2017, it had light use since 07.2015 so it looks like new

it had the andoid 5.0.2, and without kidding the battery lasted about 2 or 3 hours top, while in use (whatsapp, camera or internet browsing) about 1% battery per minute?!

Even after tweaks i coulnd't solve the problem.

I did think about a bad battery, but......

So i unlocked the bootloader, removed knox, installed twrp and vanilla android 4.4.4, + root + xposed framework + nova launcher pro (and deleted touchwiz)

it was indeed planned obsolescence (such stupid concept) as now unbloated and tweaked the battery lasts at least 1 day, and with little use it lasts 2 days or even 3 days (light use, only whatsapp, screen @ 25%)

just to say thank you to everyone from XDA that helped me somehow :laugh:

If your contacts are saved in outlook ... connect your phone to activesync and set it up with that profile and it should sync them back on there.

You may have to delete the phone profile you have under activesync's file menu, then plug your phone back with usb and use the setup wizard that pops up.
