[Sony Xperia 1 III] tengokujin:
I don't know if anyone else has this issue, but since I got the update a ~week ago, my wifi's been spotty.

Internet is fine if I turn off wifi and browse on mobile data, but on wifi everything struggles with loading the most basic of functions.

It'll occasionally work normally and give me hope, only to struggle loading the next thing.

I've already tried resetting the phone, but all it does is give me false hope it's working before it fails again.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mangtas_666:
Same here wifi keeps turning off by itself...im hell of pissed knowing i been using my phone for an hour using data and to know wifi turned off by itself.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Lol siriously again a new thread about an update !?

People messing up this entire forum.. for real.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Evil_Sephiroth:
Check if Network assistance options under wi fi in settings are all deactivated. All the option to automatically switch off wi fi or mobile data when signal is low are trash on pretty much every phones of every brand.

Go back to the old method and turn on or off wi fi or data when you need it XD
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Mangtas_666:
Thanks, problem solved i just flashed Evo rom 😂

hello i am from a region that cant active the ecg or Oxygen blood please help me to fix this issue.
[Apple Watch] shockedserver:
It's not possible I guess. I didn't find any working method on the world wide web. :)
[Apple Watch] Zola Fisher:
To activate ECG on your Apple Watch 7 running iOS 15.4.1 in any country, including forbidden countries, you will need to first make sure that your watch is paired with an iPhone running iOS 15.4.1. Once your watch is paired, open the Health app on your iPhone and tap "Health Data." Then tap "Heart" and then tap "Electrocardiogram (ECG)." You will then see a toggle switch to enable ECG. Once it is enabled, you will be able to use ECG on your Apple Watch 7.

[Touch HD General] born_2_code:
disappointment

Yes, I second that,

The poor video performance is a big downer and a very noticable thing watching your favourite smallville episode skipping frames all the time.:mad:
[Touch HD General] kersh:
and the game of the ball is sloooooow and like playing a 10fps game.
[Touch HD General] Boinng:
I have to say I'm amazed by this. I remember when the whole Tytn II video debacle broke, we had these silly statements from HTC trying to justify the poor performance by saying it was a business phone, and didn't have video acceleration built in (which was a lie), but that future HTC devices might be "multimedia-centric" or words to that effect... well, surely the Touch HD is exactly such a multimedia device, advertised and sold as just that, so why are we still discussing lacklustre performance?

Is this gross stupidity or carelessness on the part of HTC, or is there something seriously wrong with these Qualcomm chips?

Let's just revisit the blurb on HTC's own website for a moment (before they start rewording it, as they did with the Tytn II) -

Hmm.
[Touch HD General] Rob_Quads:
I find this quite dissapointing. I was hoping that due to the large screen they would have made sure it can play basic video files. Those sorts of file are exactly what i would be looking to play on it too.

Hmm The more I read the more i am sawying towards an iPhone which i fine frustrating
[Touch HD General] Wishmaster89:
Guys try playing those files in WMP and you will see that it will play them perfectly thanks to the hardware acceleration which unfortunately still isn't fully used in CP! Wait till CC will crack the software part of the HW acceleration and you then you will be able to watch all those movies without demuxing on Touch HD.

To those who want to know how to make .mp4 from .avi/.mkv without converting PM and I will tell how to do it in 10 minutes and not 1 hour.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
How we can play this files on a program that doesnt read that codecs?
[Touch HD General] Wishmaster89:
xvid/divx are all the same it is simply mpeg4 video. If you take it out of the .avi file and mux it into .mp4 it will be recognised as mpeg4 video file. Its the same with h264/x264 if you take it out from .avi and mux it into .mp4 it will be recognised as h264 video unfortunately wmp only supports baseline profile which is rarely used at all.

Remember that .avi/.mp4/.mkv are all containers that can contain the same type of video or audio stream only .mkv is special cause it can easily contain subtitles stream of different format and almost every audio format which unfortunately isn't the case with .avi and .mp4 that is why .mkv is the most popular container for all those HD rips cause you can put almost every kind of thing.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
update !
[Touch HD General] Mark One:
I hear the sound of a deal breaking....while this is a disappointment for sure the real crunch for me would be if the video suffered in ordinary performance as my polaris did (eg low screen rewrites pretty obvious in TT7).
[Touch HD General] Lucas0511:
I am not into benchmarks, just one of those "business users" that likes to have some multimedia on my device. Just watching ep 7 of se 4 of The Unit on Coreplayer 1.2.5 in fullscreen landscape from Divx 624x352, and find it plays really well, with no lag or performance problems. So for the occasional user like me the HD is doing just fine.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
what???

xvid and divx are codecs, not simply videos, if you mux a xvid/divx video in one container, it will be a mpeg4 container with xvid/divx video, and windows media player will not play it until you convert the video to another codec with loss of quality, bigger size and loss of time, so is not that easy and for us, say that "use windows media player" is a useless comment.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
I uploaded the videos with that I made the benchmarks

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2M95ZHD4
[Touch HD General] lmbranco:
Just tried Heroes Episode 8 on my i780, and here are the results:

GDI - 181,36%

Raw Framebuffer - 206,13%

Intel xScale - 213,59%

Direct Draw - 182,2%

However taking into account the difference in resolution from the older models and the Touch HD i think this could justify the difference in performance.

Also, maybe Core Player is not using effectively the architecture of the Touch HD.

But... this is a new machine and as such it should be ready to play acceptably the videos.
[Touch HD General] freexdalogin:
On the Omnia I can play a 700 MB AVI file almost perfectly smoothly without any conversion at all. I can simple place the original high-quality video AVI onto the Omnia and play it.

Is this the same case for the Touch HD? Can you do the same thing and it will play (even if you need to use WMP)? Or do you have to convert it down to a lower quality first like on previous phones?
[Touch HD General] lmbranco:
The Omnia included by default a DivX player, this is not the case of the Blackstone, however with Core Player or the free TCMP you can watch virtually any movie without converting it.
[Touch HD General] Boinng:
The Omnia is also based around a different processor, not made by Qualcomm. I suspect that helps as well.
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
this is so disappointing...

my only wish is that CorePlayer 1.2.5 actually doesn't use the hardware acceleration of the touch hd as it should.

because if this is the actual performance of the hardware then, at least me, i wont spent 700 euro on this device which promises to be multimedia device but actually isn't.

can someone convert a file that is playable with the built-in video player or WMP but this file should be of relatively high resolution say 720x400 (wmv, mp4 whatever) and then see how's the performance?

maybe this is just a coreplayer poor performance issue here are we're just blaming the device for nothing...

ps. I had the omnia for couple of weeks, the video performance of IntelXScale is absolutely amazing even on high resolution videos, also I don't think the 240x400 resolution of the omnia plays a big factor here, i suppose that even if the omnia had 480x800 resolution, the performance would be the same (maybe bit slower, but definitely more than 100%)
[Touch HD General] Eraser85:
Hi, I've just tryied this video: http://downloads.gamezone.com/demos/d24115.htm which is infact an 800x480 wmv file. Coreplayer 1.2.5 benchmarked at 46% with QTv, even less with other methods. Windows Media Player however managed to play it much much better, even if with some dropped frames.. definitely not a smooth playback but at least was not a slideshow like in CorePlayer...

downloading a 640x480 wmv video.. I'll report back with results..

Edit: the second video is this one: http://www.casadolcecasa.com/gallery/video/Natale2004_hig.wmv

WMP: watchable, first part kinda sluggish, then goes better (supposedly because most of the img is dark -> easier to decode)

CP1.2.5: unwatchable, frames slideshow.. 56% with QTv
[Touch HD General] L0ser:
and on what facts do you base this opinion? nobody know how fast it would play. the HD resolution has to display 4 times more pixel than the omnia
[Touch HD General] daboutz:
ehm....i noticed that the "sample movie" u are using even stutters on my pc (Q6600 /1950xtx / 2 gig ram)....so i dont think this is a good "test" for the device's performance...

anyways...
[Touch HD General] Wishmaster89:
Actually you are wrong. I've done it many times already and it always worked even on such "primitive" device like SE m600. Don't know how to prove it but search the net and you will see that you can put avi stream into mp4 container without conversion. You just need program like YAMB with it you can even turn .mov stream into .mp4 or .avi without conversion and if the stream was mpeg4 video it will work on mobile :cool:
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
Its pretty simple really, when it comes to screen resolution and video playback this is what happens:

Lets say you have a 640x360 xvid video. When in CorePlayer you select "stretch to screen" and "smooth zoom on" (bilinear-like) on Omnia for example which has 240x400 res, CorePlayer resizes the video frames realtime to display on this resolution in this case is downsizing, on a 480x800 resolution the same thing happens however upsizing the video frames, I agree that upsizing the video could take more cpu power rather than downsizing it however how much cpu power do you think this process needs? Most of the cpu power will be used to actually decode the video and audio codec.

On Omnia, CorePlayer takes full advantage of the Marvell 624MHz with IntelXScale which is the hardware acceleration and it takes care of all that.

Even though CorePlayer has (questionable) support for QTv which is the video hardware acceleration for the Qualcomm 528Mhz that Touch HD has, the performance is really poor and I'm guessing even if you playback with no zooming in CorePlayer, which is where the resolution of the device makes a difference, the performance will still be poor.

So the thing is, either the Touch HD has really crappy hardware acceleration, OR (and believe me I wish for this case to be true) CorePlayer doesn't fully support QTv acceleration.

ps. I sold my Omnia to buy the Touch HD, now I have doubts... :(
[Touch HD General] freexdalogin:
I can definately assume the Omnia is resizing the video in real-time. I notice the same unconverted 700 MB video on my PC is in a HD-like resolution with perfect smooth colours. The same file on the Omnia in SOME areas loses a bit of the smooth colours. It's as if the Omnia is re-encoding (or whatever the term) the video as it plays. Whatever it does it does it well!
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
An addition to your comment, I just found out about the new and improved version of the Omnia (Korean) http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1562

With a WVGA (480x800) resolution. Now we can put both devices Touch HD and Korean Omnia to the test. But I already know, Omnia's gonna win this one...
[Touch HD General] lipa47:
Did anyone try that: http://labs.divx.com/MobileCommunity ???
[Touch HD General] mallman:
this plays a 700mb AVI flawlessly from what i can see. Unfortunately i cant say it plays the audio flawlessly because it doesnt play it at all lol :)
[Touch HD General] ez2remember:
This is a real concern...

Even my Nokia 8GB with 330Mhz CPU and CorePlayer could playback most DivX/Xvid movies smoothly. The only trouble I had was when resolution was above 600 pixels and the built-in realplayer with hardware assistance I could just dump 700mb files h264 videos.

I question whether I should just cancel my order now...

Does anyone know if the HD supports flash video in the browser? If not, does the link to the video just launch a standalone player to handle FLV?

I'm a WM noob so please pardon my ignorance.
[Touch HD General] kersh:
No, the are no player to flv videos on win mobile.
[Touch HD General] Guus_:
Audio is working here, but videoquality and performance is very bad. Even much worse then WMP and CP. Tested with several files.

Let's hope for an CorePlayer update soon... Because one of the main reasons that I bought the Touch HD for is video; i expected it to run flawless, but it doesn't, every Xvid/DivX from around ~700mb is lagging bigtime, benchmarks gives only like ~85% performance in CorePlayer(@ ~1.25mbps Xvid/DivX files).. :mad:.
[Touch HD General] Insaneboy:
So Touch HD fails as a videoplayer without converting the files?

Was going to buy it for that reason alone, but now i have doubts...
[Touch HD General] buggybug0:
i also have a feeling that the samsung T*omnia will be better than HD, despite having the same resolution. reason being: intel xscale (or marvel xscale, since intel sold it to them) is clocked faster in that device. but more importantly, the new xscale is a system on a chip that has a video chip which based on the core architecture of the Intel GMA900. This xscale video chip is a very very capable video chip for displaying videos, it is quite advanced in the mobile areana, SLIGHTLY behind or may be even on par with ATI/AMD Imageon and Nvidia 5500

i don't know if qualcom's SoC's video chip is there yet. haven't seen any reviews or benchmarks.. of the chips alone (not of the entire device, too many variables that way).
[Touch HD General] fallenczar:
Betaboy of coreplayer has openly stated that Qtv support is "just an ugly hack" with little hope of improvement in the future.

On the other hand Marvells Xscale platform will have "complete support"
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
So then, as much as sexy as touch hd sounds for this and only reason I won't buy it...

If HTC doesnt decide to give api or drivers or whatever to the developers so that can use the hardware properly, then they can stick the touch hd in their bottoms...

I'm quite frustrated with this issue as u can imagine...
[Touch HD General] GreenFrog:
As far as I've read the HD with the Qualcom video device contains 64 MB which is enough in a device I think. Also, the HD is out for only a week now, and I think there will be some updates for it.

This is my first HTC device now, and hope there will be some updates, athough I also read that HTC isn't updating that many indepent the class of the device.

Otherwise some smart developers here may do the trick? ;) Or it really difficult due to the fact the HTC haven't given the api to developers?
[Touch HD General] fallenczar:
this issue is almost 2 years old, 64 mb memory would be more than enough if they were to share the api's with 3rd party developers.

there is NO HOPE of complete utilization of the graphic accelerator.
[Touch HD General] geower:
possible solution

Hi,

I just tried encoding with pocket divx encoder (free here: http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm) and playing with Coreplayer (not free: http://www.coreplayer.com/content/view/28/69/) and it works perfectly!
[Touch HD General] fallenczar:
could you download this excellent free software http://sourceforge.net/project/down...diaInfo_0.7.7.8_GUI_Win32.exe&use_mirror=nchc

and tell us the detailed specs of the encoded file.
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
the encoder doesnt make a difference you probably converted the video with very low resolution like 320x240 right? the point is to be able to playback videos of resolution 640x360 and higher...

and this thing about releasing the api to 3rd party developers why? why? why? why do they make ppl hate them...

this situation is so friggin frustrating and annoying... i thought only microsoft does these kinds of things i respected htc so much up until now...

promoting a multimedia device that is not actually a multimedia device... what a load of crap?
[Touch HD General] geower:
I converted the video in 640x480, by the way I also tried a non converted mpeg1 video from a camera which plays perfectly in coreplayer too.
[Touch HD General] aftermath99:
Guys,

this is seriously disappointing. video playback on a nice big screen was one of my key requirements (especially when laying out £500). I agree with the other poster: let me pay the licensing cost of the graphics sdk! I'd rather have something that performs well because I've already paid for the hardware (in the cost of the phone).

if anyone has a "fix" or workaround, please post ;)

cheers,

Fred
[Touch HD General] banter:
Best workaround?

I have had some success with my Touch HD encoding at 75% resolution i.e 600x360 at 700kbps video (but no more!) & 192kbps for audio using handbrake.

I set Coreplayer to QTV Display utilizing Tytn drivers. I then upsize the image to fit screen.

The pixel density on the screen is such that there is very little perceived loss in resolution and still more detail than either Omnia or iPhone.

I mostly get smooth playback with occasional pixelation on fast changing scenes and the occassional pause. I find this solution nearly acceptable.
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
I think as demanding users, we need something more than compromising in converting videos in lower resolutions and bitrates so that they be acceptable when playing back at CP. HTC should really drop this kind of strategy and release drivers/api for 3rd party developers (ie CorePlayer/BetaBoy).

Till then at least for me, this is NO iphone killer and this device is NOT a multimedia device... Just a another fancy big screen WinMo phone... and the its not worth the ~700 euro ... period.

It is so frustrating paying so much money for hardware that cant be used... It just doesn't make sense to me...
[Touch HD General] NeoS:
I hope you know the reason behind HTC not delivering drivers. Qualcomm wants money for their graphics api and HTC didn't want to pay for them, since the devices already did what the older devices did, and better!

So now, they're waiting for winmo 6.5 or 7 to add a better microsoft reference driver so they ultimately would have to "upgrade" their driver license in about... 2012.
[Touch HD General] mkMoSs:
Didn't know the reason no. And I'm guessing HTC is quite a big company so they dont give a f**k about few dissapointed users.

I really don't know if its worth buying and waiting for a hack or something for it or wait to buy an nvidia tegra device (720p HD video playback HDMI output WinMo devices)

There are other competitors in the PDA phone market, take a look at Samsung who they released revised WVGA version of Omnia (IntelXScale). I'm saying I dont see any reason why I shouldn't wait for the T*Omnia to be released to the rest of the world (now only available in Korea) which I KNOW it IS a multimedia device, having tested it my self...

Samsung SCH-M495 T*OMNIA (Korea)

SoftBank 930SC Omnia (Japan)

Check out the specs for these devices the only lesser thing that I found is smaller screen than the HD 3.3"... other than that they just rock
[Touch HD General] tdx:
I'm very confused. People on this forum seem to be saying that with coreplayer installed, the HD handles SD Divx smoothly, but most of the reviews on the web say the opposite: that even with coreplayer, video playback is choppy.

So... what gives? This is the most important point for me. If I can not play a basic divx SD movie without dropped frames on this baby I will simply not buy it.
