[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
I am pretty happy with my Pixel 7 Pro.

I would like Google to use a more durable finish like Samsung aluminum armor and a brushed finish and frosted glass on the P8P.

I am excited to see what the Tensor 3 will bring. Hopefully Google will get arm9 and X2/3 cores and 4-3nm process.

I know it is widely said that the Tensor G2 is on 5nm I find this hard to believe. The benchmark scores between the original Tensor and Tensor G2 are significant and I doubt simply using a slightly higher clocked X1 can account for the uplift in single core scores. I know one website said a Google employee confirmed it was on 5nm but unless Google actually gave us the specifications officially I take anything else with a grain of salt. That being said if it is true then when they do advance the process it should offer significant advantages.

"However, “husky” — aka the Pixel 8 Pro — will have the same display and general measurements as the Pixel 7 Pro."

Enough with the stupidly narrow screens already, give us something that can fit in a MAN's hands, not a fairy that can't tell if it points in or out.

And no mention of the pixel tablet that's supposed to come out in 2023.
[Touch HD General] cadenza:
Thank you very much for this useful Tut!! I'll try this out, for sure^^ and really thank you, a very clear, step by step tutorial for perfect video converting, thats great!!! Greez, cad^^
[Touch HD General] willwwa:
This is a great forum and I truly appreciate the selfless contributions of the many members, like you. Normally, I can get everything I need just by searching the forum. However, I have a problem and I am not sure if it is unique to me. I can’t get wmp to read mp4 files, even though they were created in the manner you just described. My mp4 files are readable using the native player. Any ideas why wmp won't read them?
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
WMP wont play your converted mp4 file or it wont play any mp4 files at all?

If WMP dont play just the converted file mayb its the converting process issue.

Just try download the sample video i provided. let c if it play.

If not, i guess its the WMP issue.. u need to reinstall WMP mayb.

What software u use to convert the video? Super or AimerSoft?
[Touch HD General] willwwa:
I used Aimersoft to convert the video. I finally got it to play. I had to download an H264 codec from an obscure site. Now, the video plays fantastically. I think WMP may have gotten corrupted from my trying out so many different brands of media players.

Again, thanks for the fix. Keep up the good work.
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
No problem mate. Glad that my TUT help sumbody.
[Touch HD General] jalv3000:
I also noticed that MP4 with H.264 CABAC profile ON dosn't work with WMP

you have to be sure to turn it off to BaseLine

These options are in Super , don't know if VDO has something similar

by the way its in the other thread too,

but you can have a look at the quality using SUPER with this video clip

I don't have the Aimersoft to test the quality but SUPER does a good job converting to MP4,

but it can take several hours for a 8 Gb 1080 file
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
CABAC profile is set to off by default so that's why i didnt mention about that.

About comparing Super and AimerSoft i dont want to say much cuz i dont wanna course any flame war here and I know lots of people use Super too. (I have both anyway)

NOTE: I recommend AimerSoft Suite cuz it do a lot more than just a converter.

So, what i mainly do with my HD is to watch Music Video and Movie Trailers just to show my friends at work. And since MV and Trailers both are not a huge file so what i normally do is convert the same files with both Super and AimerSoft then play it and compare which one is better to keep.

I know mayb its a waste of time but thats the way i do. ^^

NOTE: It turns out, personally, AimerSoft beats Super by 9:1

NOTE 2: With Step Up 2 movie(its divx dvd-rip 780mb convert done in 1hr 20mins) I just pick AimerSoft to do the job and it was fine like i said apart from the laggy at first 2-3 mins tho.
[Touch HD General] kurtfhouse:
Don't suppose you can remember where you got that codec? I have the same issue and have been googling for ages without any luck, must be getting late:confused:

Many thanks
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
U can get K-lite codec pack easily by google it, after u install that i recommend u to install CoreAVC pack as well. It improve H.264 and it comes with Haali Media Splitter too.

NOTE: PM me if u cant find them.
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Urrrgh, don't use codec packs, they're notorious for screwing up machines.
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
i have codec pack install in my pc and it doesnt screw anything tho.

can u xplain how it screw your machine?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
thank god for multicore processing or this would pretty much make the computer useless for however long it took for the conversion.
[Touch HD General] kurtfhouse:
Vosszaa

Thanks for the response. I think I may have got my wires crossed here. I can get the MP4 to play on WMP on my PC but your sample "Empire_Of_The_Sun_-_Walking_On_A_Dream.mp4" wont play on my HD. It will only open in Album or Coreplayer (although it doesn't play properly). I thought there was an additional codec to get my HD to play the file :o

This is strange, maybe I will need to do a hard reset already??? No doubt the first of many:D
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
Now that is really weird.

Do u have any error log/msg pop up when u try to play it?

Any strange thing happen at all?(such as loading icon appear)

Or its just nothing with black screen?

Q. "I thought there was an additional codec to get my HD to play the file."

A. I dont think u need to install any additional codec to your HD. (I didnt install any extra.)

Keep this a try >> http://rapidshare.com/files/171066422/h264.cab << Install it and let c if it play. if it doesnt, just uninstall it and do a hard reset.

Tell me if it works.
[Touch HD General] kurtfhouse:
Vosszaa

The message I get from WMP is "Cannot play this file" andf thats it??? I will give that cab a spin and report back.

I tried a Madonna 4 Minutes MP4 video thats been posted on the forum to play on WMP as well and I get the same.
[Touch HD General] kurtfhouse:
Just had a thought, are people syncing the files to their phones using WMP on the PC??? I am just copying the videos to my SD card manually. Does that make a difference??

I've never really used WMP on any of my WM devices, I've only used Beta Player, TCPMP or Coreplayer. Hopefully Coreplayer will have a release soon with full support for the HD chipset then none of this conversion will be necessary.
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
I just copy and paste by using Windows Explorer. It make no difference.
[Touch HD General] willwwa:
I found a cab on the htcdriver.com site. Here is the download link:

www.htcdriver.com/downloads/install/h264codecHTCdriver.com.cab
[Touch HD General] kurtfhouse:
O.k tried the CAB's still no joy. Will get all my must have CAB's together either tonight or tomorrow and do a hard reset. Then report back.

Would have done it already but the lurgy is making around my home town and I feel like death!
[Touch HD General] kurtfhouse:
O.k did the clear storage option. Tried the video's on a fresh install and the MP4's still wont play on WMP. They only want to play on 'Album' badly. Maybe its my ROM version???
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
Hmm... i really have noidea whats wrong with that. Sorry man, i cant help it.
[Touch HD General] bidou:
I have a question about this tutorial, and about the HTC player in general, as I am planning to buy the HD quite soon : does the player reads subtitles files, such as .srt ? It's quite mandatory for me (I'm not deaf, just French, and watching a lot of US shows on my phone), so if it's impossible, I'll keep using TCMPM with its subtitles plug-in, just like on my KS-20.
[Touch HD General] vosszaa:
TBH, i dont think WMP support subtitle file unless there is a plugin for it(can sumbody confirm this?), so if u wanna use subtitle i guess your best bet is to stick with CP and i think this TUT is no use for you.
[Touch HD General] bidou:
Ok, thanks for your quick answer, I'll keep using TCPMP.
[Touch HD General] amitambika:
vosszaa,

Thank for this tutorial.I have been using Aimersoft for the conversion but with whatever parameters I use I am not able to get a full screen on the HD.The video still has black strips of the edges.Would you have any idea why.
[Touch HD General] john_matrix:
Thank you for your tutorial.

But if you don't want to pay for Aimersoft, you can use XVid4PSP ;)

It has Mp4 profile and the only things to change is the level and the profile of h264 codec (baseline 1.3).
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
Those trailers are 800*480 but with very big black places. Thats helping the video a lot... id like to see some normal video...

edit: I made video by your instructions. Input was 1080 indiana jones trailer.

I also made version for coreplayer, which is avi in flv codec 560*304 and 1200kbps. (800*480 and 1200kbps would have like 50% in benchmark :-) )

Coreplayer was pretty ok, sometimes lags, but watchable. (114% benchmark)

Then wm player. First 10 seconds is horrible, it laggs so much, but then it calm down. And the quality... the difference between Indiana´s face and eyes on first video and on this... omfg AMAZING !!! And laggs ? Yeah I noticed few. I am not sure if it was better or worse than first video, sadly wmp doesnt have benchmark. Maybe it would be better to change bitrate to 1400 1300 ... Maybe it was lagging because it has pretty fast scenes + a lot of text (average bitrate 1500, the text have a lot less... so fast actions will have a lot more... imho ?)

Result ? Bye coreplayer... and also, i will now start downloading all movies in at least 720p, because 700mb rips are like 750bitrate and my phone can get double of that YEAH :-)

edit : oww... stupid program, it can do 1500bitrate or 900. Nothing between :/

edit2 : Oh yeah, it have config file which can be moded into any bitrate :-)
[Touch HD General] potatochip:
I use mencoder on linux as follows to convert my video files;

mencoder "input.avi" -ofps 24 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=600 -vf scale=400:240 -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=0:preset=48 -o "output.avi"

Files shrink to about 55% of the original size and image quality is great.
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
image quality is great ? With omnia resolution and 600bitrate ? oh lol...

Try 4x bigger resolution and 2x bigger bitrate and you will see whats great quality.
[Touch HD General] Lordcamel:
Just tried it on an episode of Bleach and I must say i m impressed wmp plays it better than 400x240 on coreplayer!

Really nice
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
I am not 100% sure about that, so I need someone else to test. But it worked for my friend and maybe for me (because one time i had problems with WMP) .

If you can´t play those .mp4 h264 trailers from first post in WMP, then open it in Album. It will work and probably wont lagg much. After you play it in Album, then open WMP again - library - open file - storage card..search it - open it - PLAY !

Try it and tell me results
[Touch HD General] potatochip:
I've changed to using flv and image quality is even better

mencoder "input.avi" -ofps 24 -ovc lavc -lavcopts flv:vbitrate=600:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=400:240 -oac mp3lame -lameopts mode=0: preset=48 -o "output.avi"

for anyone who's interested.

And yea the image quality is great. perhaps if i was watching it on a massive screen it might not be so good but i'd take a smaller file size over a barely noticeable difference in quality when watching it on my hd.

hope this helps someone.
[Touch HD General] Wolfenzi:
lol flv codec, omnia resolution and 600bitrate... You think that is quality ? I use double bitrate, 4times better resolution and way better codec (h264). That is QUALITY.
[Touch HD General] tnyynt:
Why don't you both stop bragging and post some samples? Facts talk! Post files, let others see.
[Touch HD General] willy1973:
Album player is fine

Not sure why you use WMP, the HTC player (Album) works the same or better than wmp for me.

I use the procedure below and the video looks great!!

I dont use the memcard driver, but still great..

Here is how i do it:

To convert your videos to mp4 use MEDIACODER Full Edition (Free)

Use this MediaCoder Preset-File (File --> Load Preset File), or enter these settings manually:

Video:

Mode: Bitrate-based

Format: H.264

Container: MP4

Profile: Baseline

Audio:

Encoder: Nero Encoder

Resample: Original or 44100.

Profile: LC-AAC

Rate Mode: Target Bitrate

Bitrate: 128 Kbps

Picture(Size):

Resize: 800x480 (enter manually)

Set Display Res: True (press resize to enter this)

Crop: Crop To Fit

Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (Used Together with Crop it gives cropped 16:9)

Use Album (HTC video player) on your Touch HD to play the file.

If you use HD video as your source you'll get really good quality.

[Android Head-Units] Escoban:
Hello,

I've some problems with my newly acquired HU. First and foremost, I can not tell what model I have. I bought it from an aliexpress store (wondefoo) and it should've been android 12 but apparently that's faked in the displayed settings.

The problem I have, is that everytime I start my car after it was off for more than 30 mins, the internal media volume is set to 0 and the date and time is reset. The Chinese Idrive controller that came with my device doesn't work properly. The buttons are wrongly mapped (each button does something different than what it should do, menu button triggers nav button for example) and the wheel rotation isn't translated at all. Seller isn't helping at all and the update I got sent didn't change anything. I attached the Infos of my device. I think the mcu firmware might be causing the audio volume and time resets but I can't find anything for my device online.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Head-Units] enzo80:

Hello, also interested in this...

I have received an updated file from the seller, ZQ_A007_C01_GA6_OSU-BMW-SPLIT-EN-D_2022-09-08-1833.zip

I do not know if I am allowed to post links, please send a DM if you need the file

I do not see any improvements, my still sometimes does not start, it is stuck on the android logo and I have to disconnect the cables from the back or press the small reset button...

Also, I am trying to find a way to disable the auto brightness dimming when the lights are on,

Can someone help?
[Android Head-Units] yoanc244:

Hello lads!

Please help me.

I also have a tablet from Aliexpress (wandefoo) .

Perhaps by my mistake I deleted the Bluetooth connection and now I can't reconfigure it. Disappeared.

Can you tell me what it's called? (I don't remember) and how to fix it from the secret menu?(8888)

From the photos you can better understand the problem and there are my bluetooth options.

Thank you all !
[Android Head-Units] yoanc244:
trigger -> device book, while volume < 100% ,increase volume

I am sure there are better ways to do it but this is how I managed to increase the volume

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] yacopsae:
I'm having this weird issue, where the UI is almost lagging, but it's not quite lagging. IT's like the screen wont update unless I do something to make it update. Like to move to a next screen I will have to drag down the notification bar to get it to load the next screen. I'm not quite sure if that makes sense so here's a video of what I'm talking about. This is severely hindering my usage, and a factory reset did stop it for a while, but now it's happening again. My storage isn't full and I dont have a ton of apps open, and it happens whether I have enhanced processing on or not. or power saving on or not. please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app as the cause.

When did it start and more importantly what happened before it started?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] yacopsae:
I haven't installed any new apps within the last 24 to 48 hours and it just started happening again this morning.

I'm gonna try clearing the cache and safe mode and see if it persists. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Could one of the apps auto updated? I block them to prevent that. Updates and upgrades can and do break things, Samsung updates included.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] yacopsae:
I don't think so only because this happened before and factory resetting fixed it for a while. And after my factory reset I reinstalled all my normal apps and all updates. And I factory reset maybe 2 weeks ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Like I was saying... something caused it.

Unlikely it's corrupted firmware or a hardware issue. Not malware unless you reloaded again.

Social media and shopping apps shouldn't be on a device. So it's likely one or more of the apps... updates can and do break things.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] yacopsae:
Clearing the cache partition has seemed to have fixed it. I'm guessing maybe it's from the android 13 update I took? I'm thinking I'm gonna switch to the U1 firmware when it comes out for android 13 cause I'm on Verizon branded firmware. My device is a dev phone though. When I boot into download mode it says dev device in big letters lol.
[General Topics] ben cole:
I'm a bit confused here and I'm sure you experts can help.

I've been watching videos of the Kaiser and have been impressed with how much better it runs Slingplayer than my Diamond.

I've tried lots of ROMs and none have resulted in the Slingplayer software running as well as I saw it on the Kaiser Youtube clip.

The CPU Clock on the Diamond is faster and since it is the same manufacturer I'd have thought it would be a more powerful CPU.

Given that the Diamond has more RAM why does the Kaiser give the impression that it is more "powerful" than the Diamond .

Is it more "powerful"? If so why?

Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] nuke1:
Some argue that due to the Diamond having 4x as much resolution, the processor should be 4x as powerful as the Kaiser to achieve the same performance. I personally believe this to be a flawed argument for the simple reason that the HTC Universal was VGA too and it can achieve lightning fast speeds equivalent and faster than Kaiser. It has a 520Mhz Intel processor, but has a meager RAM of 64MB! A ROM just needs time to idealise. My Elfin is more faster than my Diamond at the moment. As I say, just give it a little time to perfect.
[General Topics] ben cole:
Interesting. Does the Diamond and other WM devices really have this adaptive capability. I agree about the VGA issue. I had thought about it but forgot about it briefly when posting. It begs the question, can the Diamond be made to run QVGA? I'd prefer it as VGA seems overkill on such asmall screen (IMHO of course :) )
[General Topics] nuke1:
It's not so much the phones having an adaptive capability so much as it is ROMs being adapted to the phones. :D

As for your question about VGA, then I do not know, though if such a thing was possible I would be shocked that I didn't know about it up till now (even though I wouldn't have any intention of utilising such a program).
[General Topics] shambolic:
Surprised what you say about the Universal achieving lightning speeds, mine is really stodgy and slow with a 6.1 rom as well!
[General Topics] ben cole:
Any more thoughts on this matter?
[Google Pixel 7] shivapersad:
Good day,

My phone is currently stuck in a bootloop and I'm unable to access the Developer Options to enable to the OEM Unlock option. I am able to access Fastboot and Recovery. Any help on how I can unlock the Bootloader is appreciated. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 7] V0latyle:
The bootloader cannot be unlocked unless OEM Unlocking is turned on.

Since you're able to access recovery, I suggest sideloading the latest OTA package. That should get your device running.
[Google Pixel 7] shivapersad:
Hi. Thanks for your response.

I tried performing an "adb sideload" with the most recent OTA package for the P7 "panther-ota-tq1a.221205.011-7bdbdb25". I downloaded it directly from Google's Developer website. The verification process reaches 47% and then I receive the following messages on the P7's screen:

Installing update...

Error applying update: 1 (ErrorCode: : kError)

ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

Install from ADB completed with status 1

Installation aborted,
[Google Pixel 7] V0latyle:
Usually that's because the package you're trying to sideload is older than what's already on the device, but if what you're trying to flash is indeed what you posted, it should work. The only thing I can suggest is download the OTA package again and try again.
[Google Pixel 7] shivapersad:
I actually just did that. I thought maybe the download had an issue so I downloaded the OTA package again and attempted an adb sideload but still got the same error. I tried downloading an older OTA just to see if that would work but it gave me the error that I was attempting to install an older OTA to the device so it aborted the process. adb sideload won't work with the Factory Images? I've even thought about installing another Recovery onto the device and see if I can use that to restore the device to stock. Any thoughts?

With the bootloader locked it seems almost impossible to attempt any fix on the device in its current state. I'm not sure if I just have a paperweight on my hand until I can get the phone to a Google Store for them to check and fix/replace.
