Oh yes, thats perfectly true

.. I saw once women buying a mobile.. Wow, really horrible to my eyes... I mean I love women in every matter, but they just can't buy a good mobile phone.. They're only looking on how the device looks like, thats ALL!! And of course, the manufacturers know this and the pink devices are the worst ones, but truely expensive.. For nothing! But you know, they (women) love such devices, for me THIS is horrible.. So I understand the politic of the iPhone... Very sad... Anyway, I'm looking extremely forward to my new piece of freedom and I hope it'll arrive this week here in Germany;) greez, cad^^

Flame??? :D Please be carefull when addressing a group (in this case women); you could easily offend people !

This woman will have the Touch HD long before YOU can hold it ! (today...)

(and I would like to say the same to Kael)
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
Well, seems quite good but not perfect, it seems to drop frames now and then however i just hope that this is a coreplayer issue and it will be addressed when the 1.3.0 version comes out!

Other than that, I'm totally convinced :) I will order it :D
[Touch HD General] cadenza:
Oh, I'm really, really sorry!! I didn't want to offend nobody, it was more like a joke.. But due to my bad english, I'm sure its wrong written..:( please excuse me!!! I'll never write like that again!! By the way, I really like women, so please don't take it resonally! Sorry.. Cadenza

[Touch HD General] SingaporeAirlines:
Not that I condone illegal downloading of TV programmes, nor do I do it myself, however, it would be good if a Touch HD user downloaded a 350MB tv programme and tried to play it on the Touch HD to see how good it looked.

Saying that, the video below looks promising and is probably what I'm looking for, but one can't be sure.

I disagree with #1, it used to be cool to have an iPhone but now all the usual Apple iSheep have gone out and bought one its about as cool as the idiots who walk around with bluetooth headsets on just incase their mum calls them (BlueTools).

I'd rather be in the minority with my HTC, although my new Touch HD may well become too popular for my liking.
[Touch HD General] Antboy:
I find it kind of ironic to show of an 800x480 video display on Youtube, when the video posters don't even mention the resolution/bit rate of the videos they're playing back.

That being said, I'm still looking forward to the TouchHD, even if it means having to import it to Canada.
[Touch HD General] p3ngwin:
the "3D" graphics processor you think of is NOT an "extra" chip, it is PART OF the System On Chip.

a S.O.C.

there is only one chip for processing, then there are other chips for RAM/ROM and sometimes a radio chip for bluetooth/wi-fi/etc

HTC didn't put the graphics chip in there as an extra, it's part of the single-chip SOC. it does everything.

this datasheet should give you an idea:

Video performance

Well, the original post on this thread is by someone that knows a lot more about what "drives" a video than me, but I have a HTC Touch HD. First, the screen is amazing, and I bought it for the programmability of windows over iphone, so, I am assuming there will be an answer to this; There is a problem with video playback. I loaded CorePlayer last night and it is far worse than before. So far Windows Media player performs best with the fewest dropped frames. I have tried several different bit rates going lower each time, the last was 512kbps frame & 96kbps audio. Still stutters. These are WMV's. I'll try Xvid next. Since some of you here know much more than I do, I am open to suggestions! By the way, eveything else about this thing is too cool to get into in a short thread here.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
When you use Coreplayer, did you remember to set video output to RawFrameBuffer?
[Touch HD General] rogeriopcf:
I have exactly the same doubt about the Touch HD regarding video playback.

At the moment I have Samsung i780 which is excellent (perhaps the same as the Omnia) with all kind of videos i put in.

Once again, I share with you the same perfectionism about resolution, and of course, the HD fills my needs. Never the less, I am a bit worried if I'm going to spend a lot of money in a gadget worst, in video playback, than my actual i780.
[Touch HD General] Vinski-:
Qtv gives me better performance.

Currently, it is not wise to convert videos to divx format, if u prefer to watch them in touch hd. h.264 mp4 videos gives much better framerate (thanks to hardware acceleration in wmp and tf3d's simple player), and better video quality for the same bitrate. U just need to watch them with HTC's own video player, wich is the default mp4-player, unless u bypass this from coreplayers settings. So disable Mpeg4 files from coreplayers file association.
[Touch HD General] nin2thevoid:
Yeah and to bust the generalization some more, my girlfriend bought the Nokia N96 without me even pushing her to do so or even informing her about it :) And she uses the whole lot of it, GPS, WiFi, 3G, camera, TV, mp3 player, everything.

Her other consideration was the Blackberry Bold, although I did kinda try to push her to get that :)
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
I just got my HD yesterday and ran a quick test with TCPMP v0.72. Output was DirectDraw.

I played a XVid encoded avi with dimensions 642x352 and a datarate of 1164kbit/s over WLAN from a windows share.

Playback was generally very smooth even in fullscreen.
[Touch HD General] mrpetrov:
Guys - where you getting the right version of CorePlayer from (link would be much appreciated)? I don't see any version numbers on their site...

Petrov.
[Touch HD General] odm3xda:
HD can give you the best mobile experience esp when it comes to videos coreplayer is good but you will have to change the default Qtv to DirectDraw or GUI

BUT with custom video specs created thru a converter (like mediacoder full edition free) on your pc and the HTC player included; video experience is far better and the 800x480 resolution looks gr8

[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
coverage

Hi, this issue has been covered more than once in great depth months ago on both this site and coreplayer. here as the facts as I have gathered:

1. The HD has full hardware acceleration support in WMP, this reason why people dont tend to use this is simply that it has limited codec support so you cannot thow anythying at it like you can coreplayer. This is not a fault of HTC or Quallcom it is simply mircosoft yet again providing a ****e media player, for instance who can play there stuff on their pc without codec pack of some kind?

2. Core player has not hardware support at all for the HD, it simply user and overlay in QTV which doesnt really do very much at all, for me it poor attempt to get the HD users onboard where ther is no gain at all.

3. The best way to get perfect video playback at Touch HD resolutions and higher bit rates is to re-enode Mp4ForHD vX.X

4. Coreplayer will not be able to get full hardware support (dont beloeve their hype as theys simple do not have th technical spec to access the API. The claiom to have a workaround in the progress but they also sais coreplayer (this version two years ago) would have full QTC hardware support - in other words dont hold you breath.

5. 3d drivers support, this is another question altogether and the blame for poor performance in this area has to fall on HTC and quallcom over licensing and money as usual.

6. There are a few SD card and buffer tweaks around in various threads that do how ever over some improvement generally but I have test this extensively and can say with some confidence that these improvements are tiny in coreplayer and small in WMP.

So what can we do?

Nothing, it is best this is put this thread to bed and start re-enoding, there really isnt any point moaning and discussing again and again as this simply isnt going to change anything, this is the reality of the situation.

PS if someone tells you they can play a 700 meg dvd rip at Touch HD resolutioniwht a decent but rate in core player without any problems at all ( a lot of people have, even senior moderators) they are deluding themselves, it simply isnt possible, even coreplayer acknowledge this.

get with the program, get re-encoding chaps / chaplets

:)
[Touch HD General] arghness:
Actually, it is the fault of HTC or Qualcomm. As with Windows, the manufacturers of the hardware are responsible for writing drivers to take advantage of it. Especially with closed specifications as with the Qualcomm chipsets.

I agree with WMP not being great, but they should not be expected to provide hardware accelerated codecs, just the possibility for hardware manufacturers to integrate hardware acceleration. Which they've done, as can be seen by the codecs included with the Touch HD.

Overlays are hardware support. They can allow more efficiency in writing to the screen, but no compression specific accelerated decoding. I'm not sure what QTV overlays provide, but overlays tend to provide colourspace conversions (e.g. from YUV used by many video compressions to RGB used by displays) and scaling.

Agreed.

Yeah, it would be nice to have them manage it, but from what I've heard from some developers, we shouldn't expect much improvement even if they do release it.

Agreed again, although I see the codec issue as being along the same lines :)
[Touch HD General] stoolzo:
granted

With regard to whos fault this is i think this is not something you can tie down to anyone apart from ourselves. Look at it this way.

HTC provided a fully acceleration media player for mp4 and a couple of other standard codecs, they claimed they would and did not stray from that, we cannot expect extra codec support for this reason - it was never promised.

You could ask why do we need all this codec support?, you need to look no further from the torrent community for that. People need codec support to be able to play all those varied mostly illegal (yes tv episodes are also illegal) videos.

We have outsleves to blame for the prolifferation of these codecs.

overlay and stuff:

Granted I simplified things a little, I am aware of what overlays do but they currently do not add any performance gains over WMP at this time, th is was my point really.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] JuSkoch:
Howdy all, hadn't done rooting/etc in a long time as my past several phones didn't have much support for them but got the LG G8 and was excited to possibly root it and also install a custom rom. Went with Arrow OS which seemed to run fine and I decided I wanted to get TWRP as a custom recovery instead of the one that comes with ARROW OS. I flashed it but now it get stuck on fastboot and constantly loops to it (and no longer shows the boot a/b.... which probably isn't a good sign). After leaving it alone for some time, I booted it up and now it gets beyond the the fastboot loop but I can either try to boot it up which only gets me the code red warning or go to download mode. I tried to use LG Bridge and download mode on my phone but the Bridge software doesn't detect the phone.

I realize some of this is probably because of my stupidity and I should've been more careful but anyone got any ideas on what could be done to get the phone back to a stable working state so that it can function again? I know there are some more "difficulties" because of the boot a/b partitions and having to handle that stuff properly. If it isn't possible, that sucks I guess but anyone who wants to chime in - thank you for your help!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Sounds like you might just need to reverse what you did to try to get twrp. If you have the boot partition for Arrow flash that back, if you don't have it should be pretty easy to get it from someone.

If that doesn't work can always use qfil and flash the necessary partitions to get LGUP to work, then flash or crossflash to a kdz and start again with stock.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ford0042prefect:
You're in good company. I went down the same path and have become adept at repeatedly bricking and un-bricking my G8. (LM-G820QM5) I picked up 2 tidbits of info that have been helpful. The first is that my G8 ThinQ will not boot Android when the engineering abl_a.bin has been flashed on to it to enable fastboot. Sure it will fastboot, and go into EDL or download mode, but in order to boot the OS, I have to put the normal abl_a.bin and abl_b.bin back.

The second lesson I learned the hard way is that sometime LGUP fails to flash when the phone is in download mode. I was searching around XDA and came across a very helpful post from starlyn1232. They posted a command line utility that has been successful in un-bricking my G8 when LGUP failed.

I downloaded the appropriate kdz from lg-firmwares.com and the starlyn1232's utility from https://xdaforums.com/t/lgup-flash-utility-based-on-lgup-1-16-cmd-and-lgup-1-17-lgup_common-dll.4112121/
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] JuSkoch:
Well thankfully, i still had the original files from the unlocking thread in this forum and I also apparently did make a backup of my files right before I installed TWRP 3.4 or whatever and was able to get my phone working again - which is awesome! Also, what's the best way to back up everything on the phone (or at least the essentials) in case of flashing situations like this? I in the past would just use TWRP to do a backup/restore but since I flashed ARROWOS and it has its own recovery and doesn't seem to have a backup option - asking if any one has a recommendation. Thanks!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I would highly recommend looking at bkerler edl utilities. You can easily find his git page which has the download option for an iso linux boot which has everything installed.

It's a bit involved / complicated figuring out the command line interface, but once done you can backup everything and it will create the xml files needed to reload it.

I would suggest this for everyone but especially for those with sprint or att devices, as there is no kdz available for them.

I've recovered from various issues too many times to count with backups I've made for v40, v35, and now G8 (2 of them).

cheers

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Ashfaq Ahmed spsc:
Does anyone have rawprogram0.xml

Patch0.xml for lg g8
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
So the rawprogram xml will be for ea lun, and it will vary by which rom you're trying to flash, it will also vary by segment starting positions for the partitions. IE, there is no generic version of it.

2nd, you don't need a patch xml, just click cancel or skip for that entry. Note; the rawprogram xml is usually generated when a backup of the binaries is made, and it will be for that specific backup.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] MR_ZenR0:
Hello there sorry to pop in unannounced I would like to interject briefly and please pardon my ignorance I'm still a noob.

I have a similar issue, but I'm a little bit confused as to what I should do. In my Case i have a SOFT brick.

(G8 ThinQ VERIZON LM-G820UM (Model) ---- G820UM20j (Software)).

I unlocked the bootloader and rooted with magisk successfully, Still running STOCK OS

Then I Flashed TWRP.zip and some version of Magisk.zip with the magisk app, Then I Rebooted to Recovery.

Inside TWRP i Wiped, Format and then I flashed Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip

This process Finished without any errors, however, after I rebooted i now cannot go past the Verizon Logo and it's stuck there.

Fortunately, I have All the Original files backed up (abl_a.bin, abl_b.bin, boot_a.bin, boot_b.bin)

And TWRP also managed to create a Backup beforehand.

I can go easily into EDL mode and i also have the engineering abl_a file on hand.

i can also get to the built-in Stock factory reset / safe mode but I'm unsure if I should use it.

So my question is if i would be correct in loading ALL of the original Files using QFIL, or only the boot_a boot_b files ?

or if i should do something else like getting the firmware in my case?

thank you for your time in advance.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] MR_ZenR0:
Hello, I Managed to Fix it by loading my backed-up original boot_a.bin and boot_b.bin using QFIL, I have successfully passed that Verizon logo now and should be able to go from here, not that anybody asked, I just thought someone in the future might have some use out of this information here. so if you are from the future and you read this, you are welcome and good luck :D
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Tichy:
Hi peeps,

My Charmer has developed a fault with the phone funtion, where you cannot hear or be heard except in speakerphone mode of via a head set.

This is under both T-mobile official WM5 ROM and a host of you good peoples WM6 ROM's

In the end I have had to resort to using an old Nokia phone to use for voice. But I still love my Charmer and wonder if it could be utilised as a stand alone MP3 player.

So my question to you ROM developers is... ...is it posable for you to cook a ROM based on WM6 but remove all traces of the phone facility and to load straight into HTC Audio Manager or Windows Media Player?

As a side question is it also posable to keep the use of Bluetooth for use with Wireless head phones.

Thanks in advance.

Sad Chamer onwer Tichy
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Nokia 3650:
Fido, you can cook the ROM yourself. First download the Charmer Kitchen.

Then edit an OEM ROM to remove all the other icon the the START menu (leaving only your custom skinned audio player).

There is a Bluetooth stack floating around in the other thread that you can use (created by Panasonic).

Its much better when you customise the ROM yourself. I doubt Vlodec or ChrBeck will have the time for your special project. This would be an easy ROM for you to cook, since you already have all the 'unnecessary drivers' (that you wouldn't use), while downloading only a themed audio player and new bluetooth stack.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] ChrBeck:
Yea guy right. I don't have time and such a ROM can be cooked good by beginners. If you need help with cooking tell me I'll try to help.
[MDA Compact II ROM Development] Nokia 3650:
Tichy, I'll cook the ROM for you. Give me the URL of the exact WM6.1 ROM, and your 'Media Player' of choice. I'll add the Bluetooth (stack), and have al the extra stuff removed.

Not seeing anything that looks like it might control this going through the various "Settings."

I just got the pop-up that said that a bunch of apps were getting their permissions removed because I haven't used them in awhile. I live in Colorado where the current temperature is 2 degrees F. There are several apps like Star Walk that I won't use again until it's warmer. I don't want these restricted nor do I want to go through giving them back permissions.

I I get the mi11 5G 8 month ago and everything was ok since yesterday.

My phone didn't want to charge anymore with any cable (official 65w charger included) i try 3 different cable and adapter USB type C and the charge is not coming up.

I connect the phone on computer and i get this message also : usb error "The devices is unknow need more power "

The wireless charge is working hopefully. Since my phone is under warranty i just want your advice before to conlude to send for rma.

Any advice?

-already try :

cable change

adapter change

pc or different power outlet

clean the usb type c of the phone with toothpick

Thank you

This sounds more like a hardware failure, such as usb type-c failure or cable failure.
