Regarding the hardware, yes. But not the software. Well, not the user software of course, but drivers. The hardware is managed differently and thus the devices behave differently, especially (read that a couple weeks ago somewhere) concerning video capabilities/playback.

Edit: I just read through the other thread. I'm sorry, but that thread is useless, the comparisons conducted are absolutely worthless.

Newer and better codecs get developed to get better quality at the same bitrate or the same quality at a significantly lower bitrate, resulting in smaller files. It's a given fact, that decoding h.264 content is much more demanding than decoding for example DivX. But the point of h.264 is its tremendous quality improvements over DivX at the same bitrate. While DivX looks "ok" at 700kbps, h.264 roughly looks the same at only 400kbps. So what should be compared is files with the same visual quality, not encoded with the same bitrate. A 400kbps h.264 file scores much higher than 79% for example...

Hi there, I have an issue with recode as the videos won't play in the media panel and they are mp4. I thought they could?
[XPERIA X1 General] dadeadman:
I dont see any noticable difference aft conversion. Fast pace scenes have their usual slowdowns.
[XPERIA X1 General] Kid_DC:
Why dont you all use the Encoder, that has been developed for the touch HD?
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
i downloaded all the videos in the OP and i couldnt even play the highest quality one with wmp but with media panel i could but it was choppy - the high quality one runs like a dream - im gunna encode all my videos with these settings now - thanks dude!

Re-encoding solution for Mac / SE x1a users

This is for those Xperia users with Macs.

After a few days of SE x1a ownership, I got around to trying to replace my iPod Touch with the x1a (to have a single device for workouts). Needless to say a tough task since the Touch does video so well. Anyway, after being frustrated with laggy videos (even re-encoded at 15fps), I did the following:

Re-encoded the videos using iSquint with the h.264 option enabled and formatted for the iPod. This results in an MP4 file that you simply copy over the Xperia. They play perfectly with no lag and very good sound, even in CorePlayer. I knew that h.264 would result in better video performance since apparently the hardware acceleration only works for h.264...

I understand that the x1a lacks the better video capabilities of the x1i due to copyright issues, but was impressed that I was able to achieve this, and without resorting to PC-based encoding.
[XPERIA X1 General] c_legaspi:
i think the on board video recording on the phones is the only difference and not the play back.
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
I used this as well, works smooth for me in High quality but haven't checked Highest Quality yet.
[XPERIA X1 General] spikegotti:
just some food for thought...i download movies by axxo and watch them via coreplayer, movies by axxo are about 699mb and still maintain a very high quality in both video and audio, no further encoding is needed. axxo videos on the xperia via coreplayer will make any iphone video quality look like an analog 1970 tv set :P

IMO this software should not be under-estimated! Reload this Page [APP][REF]Full HD (800x480) video playback with acceleration
[XPERIA X1 General] thelucius:
The problem is that software video conversion is very slow. If you use HW accelerated Video conversion, it will be several times faster. For example using badaboom video convertor with 8800GT I get more than 100fps transcoding speed from HD to mp4 (640x360 800kps) and the video is played flawlessly on my X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
No one underestimates it. It is the best software out there. THE BEST!
[XPERIA X1 General] m1le5:

[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
After a honestly painfully long time i have found literally the best settings on my xperia here they are - it wasnt h.264 that wmp played best buy mpeg
[XPERIA X1 General] Muffincow:
Above post is amazing, works great on my x1i. Im wondering though Stretch it, looks a little wierd im gonna try without it and use coreplayer settings to adjut the screen. Just watched Virus, it was great no lag at all whatsoever, not even when explosions and uziz went off :D

edit: A few posts up you say you used axxo releases and coreplayer ? I tryed that but it was a little big laggy :/ not much at all but it was there when the explosions went off, it got pixely.

About 2 weeks ago my phone died dropping battery to 0%. And, after I plug the phone to charger, it started bootlooping.

I flashed the stock firmware using Odin and It was successful. I used the phone as normal until yesterday.

Yesterday, the battery died again dropping to 0 %. And.., the bootloop problem came up again.:cry:

So I tried to flash the stock firmware again using Odin.

But not like before, It Failed to flash

Phone says "Custom Binary (System) Blocked by FRP lock"

Odin Fails at 'cache.img' when I select 'HOME_CSC_OJV' file as the CSC

Its very handy when you put it in a pocket or purse or turn the screen face down, and don´t have to wait the 10 secs of backlight configuration.

Hi all,

I have a big problem with DnD. With my next xiaomi, Redmi 9T, I can activate dnd mode and prevent notifications sound but can set multimedia sound without problems.

With this mobile, when i turn on dndmode, the multimedia volume it's locked and i can't change it without turn off dnd mode.

I hate it and is a really function i want and i need because i want silence notifications but listen videos, for example.

There any settings i can change for this function? I tried all in normal settings.

Alternatively, if anything works ill change the rom, where there any good rom with tutorial?

Hey! I was wondering if there is any application that is similar to the Iphone flute thing. I saw it in a clip so i wonder if there is something like that for Diamond.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DomSim:
nope, diamond does not have multi-touch on the touch screen anyhow. so even if an app like this existed, you could only hold one "button" at a time

Just another example of iPwn-ing WM. MS needs to be taught a lesson they won't forget.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Medulla:
Lol, yeah, I'm sure Microsoft are disgusted with themselves for allowing Apple to beat them in the "making a useless though vaguely amusing toy application" stakes; Bill Gates will be weeping into his chips at Apple being first-to-market with the electronic flute.

Seriously dude, I'm sure Window Mobile could learn a lot from the iPhone OS, but I don't think making fake electronic instruments is really "a lesson they won't forget". Not least because it's the hardware of the Diamond that doesn't support multi-touch and the hardware is made by HTC; nothing at all to do with Microsoft themselves...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] nuke1:
The OS is even more stunted itself. It doesn't support multitouch, whereas at least HTC has a capacitative touchpad at the bottom. It's not HTC's fault at all; well we could partially blame the gfx on them, but that's another Qualcomm/HTC story.

This app didn't destroy WinMo at all- it's the thousands of other innovative, and that's the word - innovative apps along with the simplistic GUI that has already trumped MS (see the figures for Q3 2008 - Apple has more of a market share than MS regardless of the many tens of handsets WinMo is available on). Even calendar apps are more easier and finger-friendly, though not quite as advanced I might add.

Don't get me wrong, I still prefer WinMo, but I know I'm about 1 in 50, and I can see where the other 49 people are coming from.

Lastly, if you listen to some of the podcasts interviewing WinMo chairs and execs. you would understand, that it's the diehard fans of WinMo that keep the platform alive. So once we hammer home the reality of the outdated OS which hinges on the 2001 interface, we shouldn't expect overhauls from MS. And here's to hoping WinMo comes out on top.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uniqueboy:
An ocarina is a monophonic instrument therefore the interface could easily be designed around being single touch, I had one years ago, could not play it at all and as I remember it could not produce that many notes anyway, an electronic version could be better to play than the pottery version, it could have an intuitive incremental slide control just taking volume control from the breath pressure. I think something like could be done.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chronster:
This app is more than possible. First, you record what air blowing into the device sounds like, next you assign buttons to the keys on the dpad, and even a single key on the screen, then you simply have the phone play a tune based on a loose match to what air blowing into a mic sounds like.

If someone actually gave a crap about it, i'm sure it could be on the touch pro /diamond.

BTW, the guy who wrote it was hoping for 100k max, turns out he's approaching a million bucks! He's a professor's assistant at some university. go figure.
