[Touch HD General] Apex i ITR:
Guys I work for Qualcomm and I can tell you that this is not even on their radar. They make the hardware and the Phone maker buys it and licenses it for use on their phone.

"HTC" has not paid for the licensing. "Qualcomm" is not at fault here. HTC is being cheap by not paying for something they think the majority of their user community will have no need for.

Qualcomm makes their money (albeit not a their whole portfolio) off chipsets and more importantly licensing.

its not up to Qualcomm to release drivers to the public, that would probably be against whatever agreement they have with phone makers, its up to HTC to PAY for the Licensing....bottom line.

My company got swallowed up by Qualcomm last year and my division is so far removed from the chipset division thats hard for me to find anyone to help. I'm still trying. And even though I moved on to the iPhone I still like Windows Mobile phones and play with my Tytn II from time to time. Kinda waiting to see what Windows does with Mobile 7 with the introduction of Android, Blackberry (since they updated their UI), and the iPhone (Quickly becoming the defacto choice for enterprise users since the intro of exchange)
[Touch HD General] dazza9075:
i dont mean to be rude but youd have to be quite naive to think HTC would buy the licence to use the drivers and release it.

Firstly, You have all already brought your devices so HTC has the money already,

Secondly it will cost them to licence the drivers,

Thirdly they wont make any money from it, unless they charge us which wont happen because the moment a working blackstone driver is let lose it will be copied around the planet.

Lastly they wont give a damn about any of these performance issues because the next gen devices are already around the corner and it would do nothing to improve those sales by improving significantly older hardware.

The only way this will ever happen is if someone can port the drivers but even that is a long shot since next gen hardware will no doubt use different hardware making the drivers useless.

As mentioned on a different thread, our best bet is devices that have the same hardware and appear to be accelerated but are made by someone else but since this community doesn’t cater for those phones we'd need to enlist the help of others.

No doubt HTC does have working drivers just not the licence to use them so what would be good is if someone would leak them...
[Touch HD General] Step666:
Aw, damn.

And there was me thinking you might be able to smuggle us a copy out :(

I understand your point about it not really being Qualcomm's fault, that they would happily provide the drivers if HTC were to licence them but, equally, I think it's a very poor system that they have in place.

If you look at computers, free driver updates are forever being made available for users because it's just taken as given that that's good customer service, so why should Qualcomm be paid for something that so many other companies provide for nothing?

I mean, the equivalent position with a PC would be Dell building a system with an nVidia graphics card in, then nVidia refusing to release drivers for that card because Dell hadn't paid them for it. That just wouldn't happen.

Also, you say that it's HTC's fault but, seriously, if you give a company a choice that is unlikely to make a huge difference to their sales, of course they're going to go for the cheaper option every time.
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
I think the argument is sound here. How could any chips be sold without the accompanying drivers? This option should never have been there. Nobody is allowed to sell a computer without an operating system. No printer is allowed to be sold without its drivers. Why should this chip be different? It's like someone sells a car without the wheels.
[Touch HD General] Step666:
Sadly it's too late for us Blackstone owners but I think Qualcomm should seriously consider bundling the drivers and chips together.

Ok, it might push the price up a bit but I'm sure HTC would pass the increased cost on to the end consumer and I'm sure most of us would gladly pay a little more if we knew we were getting the drivers as well.

That or it's a matter of time before better solutions such as the Tegra chipset come along - and you can be sure nVidia won't be selling that without drivers.

At which point Qualcomm's own greed as it were will come back and bite them in the ass.
[Touch HD General] TheOnly1:
I still strongly suspect that the whole Qualcom driver issue is a bit like the S3 fiasco back in the 90s. For the younger audience: S3 was really big back in the time of 2D only videochips. Then they delivered some "3D" solutions but never delivered the corresponding drivers that would enable the "marvelous" performance of those "3D" chips like the "Trio 3D" or the "Virge". At the end of the day they finally admitted that their chips were NOT CAPABLE of true 3D. Result: S3 went bancrupt and the likes of 3Dfx, ATI and Nvidia took over the market. Nvidia by the way had also such a case with the NV1 chip. They sold it to some OEM's only to announce a year later that they will never deliver D3D drivers for it because the chip lacked basic D3D capabilities :)

Of course in 2009 even the idea of SELLING DRIVERS sounds outrageous. The printer example given in one of the previous posts hits the point exactly :)
[Touch HD General] chaosxq:
ATI Drivers

Some people on this Forum are claiming that if you install the 3D driver from the Xperia X1 that the 3D performance on their benchmarks increases considerably.
[Touch HD General] Step666:
Well, according to GSMArena, they're both using very similar chips (which is to be expected really).

The Touch HD uses the MSM7201A whereas the X1 has the MSM7200.

I don't know how significant that difference is but I guess it means that the drivers could be cross-compatible. So, if the X1 has the drivers included, that could be the solution.

I don't suppose you have a link?

Because this is the first mention I've seen of all this.
[Touch HD General] chaosxq:
ATI Drivers

Well the most recent place i have seen it is on Dutty's thread for his latest roms, something about a driver for 3D acceleration which you can install.

It's definitely on here though, people have been saying almost double benchmark performance with the driver installed.

I have also heard that someone on here has ported the driver from the Omnia.

The thing is i think applications need to be written to use this acceleration. So coreplayer and Opera developers are probably going to have to release a hardware accelerated version of their software.

I dont think that installing this ported driver will make the device faster or TF3D smoother or anything...
[Touch HD General] xtac:
No matter how crappy the situation is now people will still buy a HTC. As for me, Touch HD is the last device i am gonna use. i feel cheated that i paid so much for a device and it cannot play videos decently enough. Yeah there are pages in this forum which tell you how to go around it but that is not a solution isn't it? Its us the users who pay for the device who have to make the compromise and let the people who fail to deliver the product get away with it.
[Touch HD General] jino:
Agreed.

Dopod(HTC) 577w -> HTC P3600 -> HTC Polaris -> HTC HD -> Any other WM machine but not HTC
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
as far as I remember the difference between those two chipsets is not very significant....

I remember reading it somwhere (google) and there was something like the MSM7200 is 400 MHz amd 7201A is 528 MHz ...this was the only difference.

I found this on one forum. :)

Google's Andy Rubin is saying that the 300+MHz cpu is the Qualcomm MSM7200. Unless he's referring to the chip family, he is specifically saying the dev device has the MSM7200, which tops out at 400MHz and should not be found in any more devices due to a patent issue. The newer MSM7201 hits 528MHz. Granted, these numbers are always the top speed that the chip is capable of and it may be clocked lower.

Also, the Qualcomm dev kit was shown to have the newer MSM7201A chip. Of course, there was also another dev kit shown by TI using their new omap 3440, which spec up to 1GHz! And Qualcomm's newest chip, the snapdragon, goes up to 800MHz. So the MSM7201A doesn't seem all that special. The MSM7200 came out in 2006. The MSM7201 came out in 2008 and looks to be a just modified non-patent-infringing MSM7200 with a speed boost due to it being manufactured with smaller silicon die.

So I gues that is about the differences...and about drivers - it is sad that there are no drivers especially made for blakstones....sigh, maybe one day:rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] TheOnly1:
The Omnia is a COMPLETELY different piece of hardware. It has NO hardware 3D at all, but a very fast CPU with Wireless MMX, which is supported by Win Mobile. The Qualcomm chipsets have NO Wireless MMX.
[Touch HD General] NeoS:
Hey folks. I've been trying hard on getting a driver working on Blackstone (as well as all MSM7201a phones) and made a thread about it. I could REALLY use some help in achieving that goal, so I'd like to point out my thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442712

If you're interested and want to help out, please read up on the first 2 posts.

The whole HTC vs. Qualcomm issue is fairly easy to explain. Let me try and clear it up a bit.

HTC made the TYTNII with Qualcomm's MSM7200 chipset. But Qualcomm wanted additional fees for the Graphics capabilities of the chipset and charged HTC for it. Now, HTC had already planned on launching for a price already established, so to keep the price that way, they had to pull out the drivers and use the Microsoft Reference driver instead, which they modified somewhat in later models like the Diamond.

So, who's the badguy here? ;)

Hi,

i installed UbiControl on an Windows Mobile 6.1 Device(Palm Treo Pro). UbiControl is a Software to Control the User Rights. For example to block changing WIFI or GPRS Settings.

When i installed the Software the Hardware Buttons loose their funktions. When i try to reconfigure the Buttons the Area to Configure the Bottons is empty.

e.g. The List before the installation.

Anyone knows where i can find it in the registry to backup it??

Thanks a lot!

Bye
[General Questions and Answers] ichrootdunix:
Solved!

I solved the problem, the Installation of Ubicontrol delete the keys under following location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys.

I backup the keys, and add them with a provisioning cab after the installation of Ubicontrol.

[G1 General] ssunstone:
Hi All

When I first got my beloved G1, the screen flipped into 'landscape' move when simply tilting the phone,,it now seems to have stopped.

For instance if I open up a browser session in portrait mode and then flip the phone on its side nothing happens. it works fine if it open the keyboard.

Admittedly I've not used this feature much as I normally have the keyboard open if i use the landscape mode.

Is it a setting that Ive had turned off by mistake ??

Steve
[G1 General] Meltus:
by default the G1 does not have auto-rotate.

the only way we can get auto-rotate is by downloading Droid Sans Tweak Tool from the marketplace.

WARNING!!!!!

you MUST have root access on your phone prior to attempting this or it will not work!!!

check this wiki - http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Root

if you bought your phone in america chances are it will be RC30 (downgrade RC29) and in the UK RC8 (downgrade RC7). you WILL need to know this :P

if you want to do any serious modding you will need root access. opens up many things, such as multi-touch, auto rotation, editing of system files, installing debian on your phone etc. etc. :D

once you have root and the new JFv1.41 firmware you will get auto-rotate in the browser too along with i-phone style multi-touch in the browser (pinch zooming)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FuSchnickens:
I am unable to turn off current data connections on my Tilt. I'm using MoDaCo's "No Data". So I decided to try shutting off data connections with KaiserTweak. I'd set the Data connections to disabled but data still comes thru. When I try to shut if off with NoData I get this message "Connection disabled. You will need to manually duscinnect if a GPRS connection is currently active". Anyone know whats goin on here?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FuSchnickens:
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
You could always go into settings ---->connections----->connections----->manage connections and delete anything there..... it cant connect if it doesnt know what to connect to................
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FuSchnickens:
I'm not looking to completely delete it. I just want to be able to disable it when I'm around WiFi.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] oriki:
correct me if I'm wrong, NoData is only to disable data connections before it connects.

so if U already have a data connection (not WIFI) active, U need to disconnect the data connection first.

After that, your tytn will not be able to turn on the data connection unless U "enable" the settings in NoData.

hope it helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FuSchnickens:
I'm not familiar enough about NoData to know if it only disables a data connection before connecting or not. Sometimes when I connect I get the pop up window saying I'm connecting. Other times I don't. There's usually a big "3G" up at the top of the phone and when I connect I gt a little "3G window.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DC916:
In connections I set it under one without any settings. Its been working for me so far. When I DO want to connect I just switch it back to medianet. Everything else works as normal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FuSchnickens:
Even when I change it to disabled it continues to say enabled under settings? I've even tried to reinstall Kaisertweaks but still get the same results. Has anyone else come across this problem? This is getting frustrating.
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
i was trying to root my phone like yesterday..but i just stopped in the middle of the process...but i download droidsans from the market..if i can auto-rotate that means i have root..also i can autorate the home screen but now the browser

on rc-29, downgraded
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
i think it's pretty safe to say you have root.

just to be sure, download Terminal Emulator from the android market and once it's loaded type in: su

if the little $ sign changes to a # then you have root :D
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
thanks

i have root..oh 1 thing if i ever wanted to not have root anymore what would i do
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:

i have root acess...i dont want it anymore for reasons with family..can anyone show me how to do this, on downgraded rc-29..
[G1 Android Development] Meltus:
i'm not too sure, never done this, but i suppose if you reflash the original firmware it should get rid of root. don't quote me on this though. :P
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
oh ok..ill just wait if i get a better answer..no offense
[G1 Android Development] APrinceAmongMen:
Follow the steps on downgrading to rc29 in the getting root access thread.

Once you've done that, you will get an ota update from tmobile, or you can go and download the original rc30 and install it the update.zip.

End of story.
[G1 Android Development] hondamx525:
Hmm. Sounds fishy, what could root access be doing to your family?
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:
fishy? my thoughts exactly
[G1 Android Development] themykel:
As stated, downgrade to stock RC29 and wait for the TMobile OTA update.

And as for what it has to do with his family, its very possible he has kids that likes to mess with his phone and he doesnt want them to to mess something up. If that is the case I would recommend restricting the root access with the whitelist, but if you dont really need the root then by all means, downgrade it :)
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
my parents dont want me to void my warranty or break my phone
[G1 Android Development] themykel:
ok thats just stupid! As a dad I will fully disclose that sometimes we can be stupid! ;)

As a parent I would say do as your told. As a G1 enthusiast I would say leave it and dont tell your parents that you still have root (its easy to hide...). Also if you ever have to return the phone it is easy to restore it to its previous state
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:

i copied the rc-29 file and did everything and then it says no image file
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:
did you rename it to update.zip?
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
no..ill try that
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
what do i do after i rename it...i did that but it still says no image file
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:
are you downgrading with DREAMIMG.nbh if so dont rename it and put it on the root of you sd card and turn off phone and restart it holding down the camera and power key then follow the on screen instructions.

Sorry forgot what you were doing for a min then.
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:
i think im an idiot..im already on rc-29 with root...so i just wait for the ota update to come to my phone and i accept then i will no longer have root and i will be back to normal
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:
If its a modded rc-29 you wont get the update
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:
just down load this..> http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAIMG-RC29.zip and un zip it. then follow what i put above then the update will be will you in minutes.

[G1 Android Development] n1kon:
did you do this bit? "Rooting your RC29 or lower phone" if so then yes you modded it.
[G1 Android Development] BlackG194:

[G1 Android Development] necromancerr:
no offence but this is one of the most stupid thing i have ever heard. So you parents wants u to go back to original firmware. Dont they know that you have already jailbroken your phone. you can always go back to the original firmware from tmobile(if you are using jf roms) so why do they have a problem keeping the firmware. if anything happens and you need to take your phone back to tomobile, then you can flash the original firmware then. Leave the modified firmware for now. Its better than original firmware anyway.
[G1 Android Development] n1kon:

Hey,

I've got a serious problem with my XDA Orbit. There is a white screen coming after the boot screen. Sometimes the phone even starts until the todays screen but after a while it is going white again.

I tried hardreset succesfully but the problem still appears. I cannot flash the official wm6 because when the screen goes white the connection to the computer is interrupted. I cannot go into the boot loader...

All the time when I press camera button and softreset the phone is just turning off. Has somebody an idea what I could do?

Any booting with MicroSD card maybe?

Or is it the battery? (I don't think so but it might...The battery was empty for a long time...?)

Or any other ideas?
