[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
Whenever I had issues would use twrp to completely wipe my phone and fastboot flash latest factory image. That would mean backing up everything cause gonna include internal storage. Seems like a stretch that software issues would cause all those problems but worth a shot. Rooting your phone don't think would fix issues. But if by that you mean unlocking bootloader then yes would need to in order to flash twrp and then fastboot flash factory. There is probably commands to wipe phone in fastboot to skip flashing twrp. Again you will loose everything so backup all your pictures, downloads, music etc on thumb drive or computer.

[General Questions and Answers] kshgarg:
Hi Guys,

I have wondered about this for a while. Which is the best way to capture maximum amount of light in one editable RAW/DNG image.

Is it the various HDR/HDR+/HDR+ enhanced features that come with google pixel 2

or

the HDR DNG that comes with the lightroom mobile app.

Thanks

my att galaxy s7 edge is running very slow from past few weeks, I tries to uninstall all new app but with no luck, is there way to figure out what is causing phone slowness.

Thanks

It's a Samsung device. It's part of the experience...

However, you can boot into recovery and clear the cache, which often restores normal performance. When you get back into the OS, you can finish by using Device Maintenance to flush the remaining caches. I try to make sure to do that at least twice a month or as needed.

Other than that, check the apps on your phone. Some apps are known to cause devices to slow down. I disabled Facebook, for example, and noticed an immediate improvement.

It just feels like the same issue as iphone has - where apple deliberately slowing down the system to preserve longer dying battery...
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
I been using the iphone today.....what a smooth operator...everything just flows...the page animations the opening of applications...the look and feel, the way touch works. The typing (mind you Cooteks Touch and icontact is on par with it )very impressive...it even takes batter pictures than the cruise and its only got a 2meg camera...using my cruise everything is laggy....I cant wait for the drivers or update. If people like larna and others can do wonders to the speed of applications then what the hell are original developers and manufacturers doing. I say thank you for this forum...If HTC/Microsoft had been thorough as Apple was with the iphone the cruise/WM would be a different beast altogether.

I think Microsoft must be going through what Mercedes and BMW went through when the first Lexus model came out and caught them sleeping.

Nice phone the iphone but very limited when compared to ours....but things could change.
[Touch Cruise General] remoh:
I think much is about WM. And dont forget, Apple spend all their ressources to get their OS running on one Hardware. WM runs on hundreds of different Hardware.

Be sure, if the people at MS would optimze WM only for the Touch Cruise it would run much smoother.

I think a capacitive Display would help much. I'm often not sure if pressing a soft button worked. That makes working on it feeling laggy (beside slow program starts).

The WM developers have ignored any work on the UI for years. Now they got payback, the WM UI looks like an ugly Windows 95 UI and is totally outdated.

You can see that a smooth UI is possible by looking at pointui.

But do not forget the WM advantages.

All the availabe software, for example WMwifirouter.

That on iphone? I think it will never be...
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
Agreed....I can only fault Microsoft in Slow Deveopement....whereas the Manufacturers trying to make everyhing generic compatible instead of optimizing....now if they even aimed for the latter, no only would our devices be useably versatile, they would be decently fast and efficient.

We can only hope that WM7 will better developed for touch and hopefully not a memory hogger ...aka Vista.
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
On June 2008 the rumor say we will have a 3G Iphone + integrated GPS + open SDK. All for not more than $500 USD.

Nobody will touch the touch cruise with a stick at that point (unless the price will be reduced to $250, or something close). So I believe we're going to see new phones from HTC pretty soon.
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
This is s stupid discussion really :D The iPhone is a completely different concept than Win Mobile. The real question is: Why do you use Win Mobile? If it's for the coolness factor than iPhone is the much better alternative. If you want productivity than forget the iPhone :) It's that simple.
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
With the SDK, the iPhone could potentially have all the important software of the WM. What company wouldn't want to make their mobile software compatible with the iPhone (with millions of users worldwide).
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
I hate to say it but I think he's right.

I can and only will speak for myself, even though that may be the case for everyone else as well; but I use a WM based device because of the software. While the iPhone is faster, better looking, smoother flowing...as of right now it is locked down and requires hacks just to browse the file system!!

If you are reffering to the current iPhone, i would have to say you are DEAD on. However, if the new one lives up to what people are saying about it (an SDK, gps, 3g),

Then apple would have successfully created something that achieves both outcomes: A cool device with a fast, smooth flowing UI WITH functionality and productivity.

Actually, it is up to the OEMs, not microsoft, to optimize windows mobile for each of their devices. This is where HTC fails time after time in my mind.

Microsoft gives them every opportunity to implement things accelerated graphics, among other things. HTC does not do it!!

And then has the audacity to blame the customers for buying devices based on their chipsets instead of what is actually implemented (or NOT implemented -- LOL).

Since my last HTC purchase of the Touch Cruise, which cost me almost $900 I am extremely upset and dissapointed, not to mention disillusioned. The kaiser and the TC could have been great, but HTC did not want them to be -- they are slow, clunky, unresponsive at times, and i don't see why HTC even put a camera on them 'cause the pictures and video are better left not being captured at all.

If the new iphone lives up to it's promises, i see no reason to ever purchase, nor use another htc product ever again. That is the thing though...Apple is one of those companies I just do not trust and/or like....but just having the possibility of a device like the new iphone will keep my interest peaked!

If everything goes as planned, I believe that mobile developers will definately take advantage of the SDK.

While it will take many months for all the developers out there to create good applications, it will happen.

I'll actually go as far as saying that iPhone software will in fact exceed that of WM software in the future -- Provided that apple releases a decent sdk and does not place absurd restrictions on developers.

Think about it...how long have WM devices been out for...and what is their popularity?

Compare that to how long the iPhone has been out for, and it's popularity...

While currently they are for two completely different concepts;

one for user friendly every day usage, and one a "business" device...

apple seems to be combining both concepts into something that I would consider a "dream" device that I have been waiting for from HTC to put out for years now.

I thought that the TC would in fact be something closely resembling my "dream" device -- And after I actually used it and saw all of the problems with it first hand, I quickly recognized I was completly wrong.

Let's see if Apple can successfully accomplish what HTC has consistently set out to -- and subsequently failed to do so many times.

If they can pull this off, I will definately consider myself a proud iphone owner / user.
[Touch Cruise General] dortyboy:
i have to admit the only reason i did not buy an iphone its because i did not want to switch to at&t and evryone where i work has one. i just wanted something different so i bought the touch cruise. i am regreting it even as i type. 700plus usd down the drain. when the new iphone is out this summer i am definitely getting one and switching to at&t
[Touch Cruise General] dortyboy:
i wish i could get my hands on one of the htc developers. i would beat the life out of him. for real. i am mad and pissed. even the clone iphone, the hiphone which i saw with my own two eyes and held in my hands is better than touch cruise. its only 200usd
[Touch Cruise General] angler:
There are a lot of Touch user using WM device not having too many complaint. I like UI and build of iPhone, but I never forget the experience what smart phone of Nokia and Sony Ericsson running in Symbian. People will just imagine what Apple will enhance the iPhone and offer what we have used in WM device. Just like people asking why manufacturer not offering VGA device. Why don't have a look of the delay of Sony Ericsson X1? Keep an eye on what Apple implement the SDK into their iPhone and software developer introduce program, and to compare what we have with WM device. Looking forward to have a device running in X OS with VGA display with weeks of power with plenty choice of softwares .... and lastly without lag. Just like years ago we are looking for a VGA WM device. Manufacturer like HTC will make such device if it can.
[Touch Cruise General] sonus:
Are you guys serious about the Touch Cruise camera being poor? It has one of the best cameras I've ever seen on a mobile, save for the lack of flash.

-3 Megapixels

-Autofocus

-Excellent macro mode (try taking a picture of anything close up (~3inches) with this vs. a normal camera under normal lighting...TC holds its own, or better yet take a picture of something close up and compare those results to those of an IPhone)

-Auto switch to night mode in poor lighting (remember camcorders with night mode also exhibit lag in night mode, but normal cameras don't lag as they don't use a night mode since they have a flash!)
[Touch Cruise General] TheOnly1:
I must agree with Sonus on the camera. I actually printed out some pictures I took with my TC and they were pretty much OK on paper.
[Touch Cruise General] PseudoReal:
i do believe the tc is a very good device with advantages and disadvantages same as the iphone.

the thing that annoys me most (also while writing this text) the input lags in the touch keyboard or other apps, e.g. switching the t9 language is so crappy - once i click the triangle next to "20", it takes to 5 seconds open the dialogue it similar with other apps.

the good things are:

100% customization

tons of apps - navigation, wlm etc

lastly, i have see the iphone hanging - it could not connect immediately to wifi
[Touch Cruise General] Noam23:
I'm positive Apple is not going to put HTC out of business on June 2008, when the 3G iphone is supposedly coming out.

HTC will definitely release formidable competition on fall 2008, probably the dream machines we always wanted to have. My only complaint is that the Touch Cruise / Kaiser have the hardware to be much of that "dream machine", but aren't so because HTC doesn't think it is necessary since these products are competitive enough as it is, in today's market.
[Touch Cruise General] loggie1:
I agree with the only1.

Just think of it in business terms, the iphone and touch cruise are aimed at different markets. HTC could probably produce a iphone type device but why should it. HTC devices are more business orientated and sold as such, they are not (imho) trying to compete with consumer based ideas and what looks sexy when playing music or videos. They are aimed at different markets.

If people want a device to look good show off pictures and videos and play music they buy a iphone, for gods sake its a ipod touch that makes calls, so no comparison.

If people want to do all of the above and have a device that can be used as a great business tool buy a touch cruise.

Okay there are some faults but they will probably be fixed on the next device but that too will have its shortcomings and we will give out **** about it and compare it to the newest goddam wonderful iphone, jphone, kphone or whatever with hdtv or can make coffee but thats life. I know we paid big money for what we have but for jaysus sake its "not ****en dark". i.e. you could see what your were buying.

Just my opinion.

A bit strong maybe but thats life.
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
I dont know what you guys have done to your devices to make the camera so good, but unless i am taking pictures outside when it is sunny out, it will NOT come out clearly at all -- it is very distorted and grainy, not to mention it slows down to a crawl! I have a sony cybershot 2.1 MP camera from 2002 that takes better pictures than a TC cam -- and it cost about 150$ 6 years ago. When its dark or indoors, the LCD on the cybershot doesn't slow down to 1-5 FPS.

Now people say that the TC is a business device and that's true.

But, I for one am sick of trading off functionality for performance on the business devices produced from HTC.

Why can't it be both at the same time?

Unfortuneately, I did go in the dark on this one. Before I bought the TC I didn't research the video driver problems.

I only looked at the specs, researched the chipset and thought I was getting something that would (at least) out perform my PPC-6700 that I purchased over 3 years ago. I was wrong. I don't think HTC will go out of business...not at all, but i DO think that alot of people are in a similar boat that I am in...betrayed by HTC and will continue to hold a grudge against them, and subsequently switch to someone who can provide something better in the future...hopefully, that can be Apple...but I definately have some doubts to say the least, considering what the current iPhone came out as -- a Media player with a phone on it.
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
OMG, i have the SAME problem...it is the WORST!!

you have to tap the stupid triangle like 50 times just to get it to switch.

It's an atrocity. Devices from 3 years ago do not even have this problem.

Business device or not, this is just plain unacceptable.

Unless there is a fix for this problem, or I am doing something wrong and do not know about it?

How many ppl have similar experience?
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
I have that same problem. Takes multiple clicks and major lag to get the input keyboard to show up. The reason I have to chance keyboards is I often use Opera 9.5 and for some reason none of the Touch keypads work with it, so I have to switch them (I think that's another problem could be related to Opera still being beta). Also every once in awhile I can't get to the PocketCM keyboard and instead get the lame Windows default one. But that also is another problem.

Back to the lag, every once in awhile I will get lag here or there, e.g. will click on the task manager on the top right and not get anything, keep clicking around with no response. Then all of a sudden all the clicks take effect and I will see the task manager menu open and close in succession real quick.

All in all it's a good device, great functionality, just a few quirks here or there. Maybe it's time to hard-reset or flash a new ROM that might solve some of these things, who knows.
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
Oh forgot, as for the camera lag with the low FPS in low light conditions, check out this thread:

HTH
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
thanks for that... the "trick" described in the first post does increase the response by 10 fps or so, but the thing is, the picture quality also goes down...its a lose/lose situation i guess lol...I also noticed that there is a new .dll fix on the HTC E-club, but only for the kaiser. I tried to login but it says theyre doing maintainance right now, so I can't check if there's anything released for the TC...even so I doubt there is

but my issue is, and always has been..why should i need to do all of these tricks and patches for a device that costs as much as the TC does? I shouldn't. No one should.

also another thing that came to my mind...people and HTC say this is a "business device"...so i was thinking, wouldn't business users want their devices to be MORE responsive than a media player / cool trendy "sexy" device?

I mean when you need to wait 5 seconds and tap the screen multiple times to play a music file, it's not really that big of a deal...it's an annoyance yes but it doesn't result in you losing work time..or a loss of productivity

but when you need to tap the X button 5 times to close out of a document and switch to your email...or taking notes and browsing web pages for work related stuff...or trying to switch between SIP's...and having to wait because the device lags worse than windows 95...it becomes a loss of productivity...

even if it's only seconds, those seconds add up, and the annoyances stock pile into one big ball of rage :D for me at least, heh.

I do admit that my own foolishness and quickness to buy a new device is partly to blame here. I should have looked into it more. But I also think that HTC holds a good part of the blame as well.

hopefully the geniuses here can come up with some good fast custom roms that will deal with these issues...i won't hold my breath waiting for this patch to come out from HTC at the end of the month. I'm doubtful that it will do anything at all.
[Touch Cruise General] PseudoReal:
I do have exactly the same issue (together with the SIP change as mentioned above).

It is just annoying!
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
I don't dispute that for a second...but why can't I use easily and quickly like 99% of camera phones out there...instaead of waiting for it to stop jerking and redrawing...for all its 3MP I think its unuseable. You should just point and click..not wait and hoped u clicked.
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
Try the CooTek TouchPal Keyboard.....I think your typing woes will be over
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
It should n't be happening....not with this phone anyway.

When you see the people creating fantastic apps on this site, which run supersmooth..then the mind does ponder..what the hell are the OEM developers doing!

Look at apps like iContact and ThumbCal to name a few.

Polaris Camera

I saw people praise the TC's camera earlier in this thread.

I totally disagree, and I'm going to do an experiment.

http://la.gg/v/DSC00391_1.jpg/

This picture was taken from a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P50 from 2001.

This device is *not* a phone mind you, but it is from 2001 (7 years ago!), and it is only 2.1 mp. This device can be purchased for $0.99 on ebay. I believe it cost around $150.00 in 2001. This has a flash, and precision 6x zoom. I did not use the flash for this picture, nor the zoom. I put it on the indoor setting. I took 3 pictures from the exact same place without moving and this is the one that I think came out the best

http://la.gg/v/IMAGE_013.jpg/

This picture is from the Polaris. It has a 3 mp camera. There is no flash or torch. It has "autofocus", and basically the same settings that the sony cyber-shot does, minus the zoom and the flash. The device was soft reset, and put in airplane mode, at an attempt to speed things up...Believe it or not, this is the best picture out of the 3 that I took from standing in the exact same place without moving. The other two were barely recognizable at all. Maybe I should have used a tripod? (Lol).

Unless I am doing something wrong or have bad settings on the TC (I don't think so, but if anyone has some advice on how to make this better?), that is the way pictures are supposed to come out??

I will do a comparison with my room mates cell phones tonight too.

One is an original v3 razr And the other one is an LG chocolate maybe?
[Touch Cruise General] le_paulo:
I Love my Cruise

Sorry, just cannot agree with the negative sentiments here for the following reasons:

1. XDA-Developers ;)

2. Software Options.

3. Hackability (oops, already had that as #1 reason).

3. GPS - I had a tomtom for my car, now replaced by Touch Cruise and no problems so far. Apple's GPS options will be laughable. Why? Good maps (or lack thereof). All the really interesting maps (Malsing for Malaysia/Singapore, Mapking for Asia, TomTom for just about everywhere else) are for WM devices.

4. Camera on my old Hermes was fine for internet quality - Cruise is even better.

5. Corporate productivity - I'm a lawyer using my phone for work - push mail/calendar from either Goodlink or Exchange servers are the only viable options. I doubt Apple will join either of those.

6. Sex factor. Yep, the cruise has raised envious eyebrows left and right. Especially from those with the iPhone who see a serious challenge to their heavy, wide, long,

functionally retarded

phone. One showed me the 2-finger zoom function for photos. Did he ever use it in real life? Nope!

As I mentioned, I've come from the Hermes, so I understand pain and suffering. The Cruise + Touchpal is an awesome phone. Just wait for the good boys and girls of XDA to mash some ROMs and we'll be set.
[Touch Cruise General] pistonripper:
Agree with the iphone they can keep that..the cruise,s circular gesture is much better imho, and also agree with everything elso you say...take my hat off to the cooks and developers as well as this forum.

All I am saying is that WM OS has been around for ages...nothings really changed (developement has been virtually non existant...hopefully competition from the iphone will change that)...ALL versions have been laggy on all DEVICES....like using the dialpad...ITS CRAP..no way is it smooth these imho is unaccepable today. Its the basic function of our device!

Beside why should I have to pull my stylus out on my "TOUCH" cruise.

Heres a article http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/what.s-w...ow-wm7-and-wm8-are-going-to-fix-it-333536.php
[Touch Cruise General] JNGold:
That will be changing real soon with the iPhone SDK. Some big mobile developers including WM developers have already committed to creating iPhone apps.

This is both good and bad. While I like the ability to customize and hack my WM device, many times it needs to be done just to make the device usable in my daily environment. If WM devices worked and performed well out of the box, much of the hacking would be unnecessary.

I guess you didn't hear. Exchange Activesync will be available on the iPhone 2.0 software release coming in June.

You may consider the iPhone wide and long, but that screen blows away any QVGA offering on a WM device. Heh, try using any HTC device in direct sunlight. The TC is practically useless outside in direct sun.

I agree that my stock ROM and Touchpal make a great combination. But let's call a spade a spade. The iPhone with 3rd party apps and Exchange Sync will be a force to reckon with and makes for a more appealing platform. Add 3G (coming this year) and maybe GPS and you have yourself a slick performing mobile device.
