pretty bad from what i have been told! you can't flash custom roms at present till hard spl is released. this will also have a security unlock that will enable you to flash custom roms. ETA is not known but it is work in progress. in branded state you will only be able to flash voda updates. HTC rom or future htc updates you will not be able to use till hrad spl is available. even if you remove the look of the phone the base rom will still be voda and that is the issue. the unbranded handset with stock rom works far better than voda branded one! IMO the choice is clear!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Shingers5, nice info thanks

I read your "got mine" thread at the top and to be honest was expecting the "wow amazing phone" earlier on in the thread then all the issues and gripes once the novelty had worn off later in the thread lol but it still appears you love it, so it must be good.

Noticed you also got the Samsung HD, just how bad is the sound quality on a HD recorded video? AMR Narrow Band codec at 8000HZ right? I almost bought that phone until I read about the terrible sound quality and Samsungs lack of interest in fixing it!

Ok I'm going to get the TP2, there is a MPD store in Oxford, I will ring them tomorrow to see if they actually stock it, if not will order it and go with Vodafone for a change.

The thing that got me with T-Mobile when I had my TyTN II was that the data package only provided 3G speeds, you had to pay much extra to get HSDPA, is this still the case Shingers5 with your contract?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
3g speed cap? never had that issue. HSPDA always came with web&walk as long as it was available! i had a tytn2 and HSPDA was out the box mate. lightning that tytn2! omnia HD sound quality in vid recording is very poor and in video playback as well. very quiet but very loud when playing music. very weird that for such a high end device. i have however been flashing unbranded firmware from share4gsm and i must admit slight improvement! who needs samsung when you got share4gsm!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Philio25:
I think that's speculation rather than fact, changing the branding isn't going to effect the rom performance. You can customise most of it yourself without even flashing the rom anyway, if you know which files to edit!

Some networks add loads of junk into the rom (O2 for example, their roms are VERY slow compared with stock HTC roms) but my device is very quick with the Voda rom, the only difference is the branding and lack of YouTube player as far as I can see. I can't say I've used a TP2 with a stock HTC rom on but it's considerably faster than my HD in every way.

I can see why most people hate the branding, I did at first but after a few days I prefer the lighter theme to all the black now!

Edit: HD has latest HTC rom btw.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
I think I just got unlucky, apparently they pulled HSDPA from the lower band (I was paying £22 pm for unlimited data on the 1GB DL cap) meaning the higher priced contracts only got it, which was really annoying, didnt think they could do that but subject to change and all that blah blah - other than that I never ever had a problem with T-Mobile.

So do you use your Omnia more than the TP2??????? Are you typing your replies using it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
tp2 is everyday phone and use most of the time. omnia hd is for pics of prospective purchases and multimedia capabilities! thats all symbian is good for! my tp2 does it all but lacks in camera dept. omnia HD is multimedia giant and i need that when on holiday and stuff! na using ma laptop!

i got mine from MPD it was 34.26 per month on voda for 500 mins 100 text , but when the paper work came through from voda i got 700 mins and 250 text for the samr price.

so there are better deals to be had
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Brainio:
I got mine from MPD on the 18 Month T-Mobile 700mins, unlimited text and unlimited web for £34.26 per month.

I have not had any problems with T-Mobile and the mobile web is HSDPA and very speedy.

The reason I went for it from MPD and not wait until it was released on VODA or T-Mobile direct was that I read that its only the unlocked version which gets the free upgrade to Window Mobile 6.5. Plus I couldn't wait and got it on the first week it was released.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] GordonTGopher:
I tried the same thing in the Slough store, they don't do the same tariffs in store as the web. The store wanted about £70 for the phone when I got it free when I ordered online (same tariff)

correct me if i'm wrong but as fas as i know, once over the download limit, vodafone start to charge you by MB about £1.50 wheres t-mobile won't charge you a penny, you only get a warning about downgrading the speed.

As I have posted elsewhere, I got mine from Vodafone Business (as anyone can) with 900 minutes, unlimited texts and internet, for £35/month and free phone.

I also got £100 cashback as I ordered through Quidco, so its costing me less than £30 a month.

Happy days, I came from a Storm and this new phone is awesome.

BTW I put the 'Black' theme on it from the themes forum and it is identical to a stock one now.

Guys

I have the TP2 in my hands now (trying furiously to get youtube working!! even though I have removed the adult lock its still claiming its still on, annoying) what can I say:

1. Awesome awesome phone, amazing, looks in a different league when you actually hold it in your hands (I know that sounds sad, but youtube/photos dont do it justice)

2. The screen is amazing

3. The TOUCH keypad is also incredibly good, HTC has come along way with touch screen technology/software since my old TyTN II

4. Battery - so far I've been messing with it all day long and still have 75% battery, that includes ALOT of internet usage (facebook app)

5. Touch Flo/Interface - awesome, really really cool, masks the mono like visually un-appealing mess that is Windows mobile very well

6. Size -Its big, not huge, but big, but then it can do everything and more you'd like it to.

7. Diamond 2, beautiful phone, was very very VERY close to buying it, but chose the TP2, I honestly think you could go with either if the keyboards is NOT important, the Diamond is an awesome phone.

I'll post more as I play with it more (much to my missus disgust! lol)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Forgot to say:

1. Lots of typing but I have NOT used the hardware keyboard at all! (touch screen only) its that good

2. Screen - amazing quality

3. Camera - Ok I expected it to be sub-par but it is actually very good in good light, really no problems at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shingers5:
cheers. i have already got new software updates from share4gsm so i am covered!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DavidMc0:
Can I ask, after buying through Quidco, do you know what support you get if your phone goes faulty? I was told by Vodafone that you won't get next a day replacement deal for support if you order through Quidco, but I'm not sure if the sales person was lying to discourage me from doing it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SuperAdvan:
Shingers5 you say your covered, are you telling me your sound quality codec issue is fixed through them as I am doubtful it is!

BTW: I am loving the TP2, awesome, I still have not even once used the qwerty keyboard, the touch screen keypad is really that good, if I were you guys who cant decide between the two I would most likely go for the Diamond 2, but I am happy I chose the TP2 as its always there when I will need it (emails).

Awesome device. Just wish i could get bloomin youtube working!!

tp2 vodafone branded

Hi There all,

Have just upgraded touch pro to a tp2 very impressed.

however would really like to remove the red vodafone braded screen in tf3d and get it to look like my touch pro with the nice black colour scheme and does anyone have the original tp2 black theme from htc.

Many Thanks,

Zeus
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
Can't see for even one second how they coudl actually do that. You are still buying from Vodafone, it's just that they have a deal where they give up some of their commission to Quidco and they then pass that on to you. It has nothing to do with any support that you should receive from Vodafone due to your contract with them so I would challenge the sales guy and tell him he's either lying, or they are being naughty, and offer to follow it up with a complaint to offcom.

Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. How can I solve this problem.

Hi guys,

was anyone able to enable this on their device?

I found this in this Touch HD thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505904. The author says that it should work on older devices that don't have the new notificaiton menu available, but for devices that have it already (D2 Touch Pro2) it doesn't work.

I'd love to have this as now I always go to the power settings to check on my battery (I don't like the other percentage battery options here on xda - I like the original look of the battery icon...)

It should have been included on Topaz from the start, but HTC omitted it (see here: http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=105810&st=460&p=797983&#entry797983).

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
There is something really strange, that is, my X1 can't play the videos, which were taken with the same device. I record a video with X1, try to play it, and it skips most of the frames. And I find it strange, because it should be able to play its own videos, I know for the coreplayer issues etc, but these?

It was the same with R2AA and R3AA stock. Tried to play it with WMP and MediaPanel, and it is the same (I did not expect any difference as the one uses the other). Do you have the same problems? Anything I can do about this? Even with the ati d3d drivers it's still the same. Please let me know if you have the same issue or not.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trudi:
Any error message ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:
No, there is no error message, it just skips too many frames. It is so slow that it can not play it's own video files, which is very strange.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thelucius:

Had hoped R3 would fix these obvious bugs but no!....it, in fact, seems worse than previous roms (and in more than this one areas).

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Sid:
Hm .. on my device (R1+R3 panels) I can play the videos (640x480, from R3 camera) a bit better in WMP and Media Panel. Core player is a lot jerkier. But it's not perfect in WMP and Media Panel either. And, the video is recorded a bit jerky in the first place.

The whole video playing thing is really strange on the x1. When i bought my X1 my own videos were very laggy and the high quality youtube videos too. Then i changed from the r2a generic german rom to the r1a generic german rom and its all super smooth now. A while ago i had the r3a german genetic installed and it was laggy again so i now still use the old r1a rom. Seems like Sony Ericsson really ****s some firmwares up i dont know :s

I agree with you. When I bought the phone it was with R1A, and it played the videos it recorded very smooth, also the youtube app was working very smooth too.

So its definitily capable of playing it back at high speed, however it needs some tweaking. I'll have a look at the settings, and fiddle with some options.

[edit] I tried various options, with blitting off, and using YV12 Overlay, while using the movie in fullscreen, i have 85% playback speed. When i turn off scaling, i have 102% avarage playback speed.

No other options have any effect on TCMP playback speed :( .

Now, when I referred to it for is query, it's acting toally normally. I hope it lasts.

Any suggestions how to normalise its speed if this happens again? I want to avoid reloading windows because I have several PDA packages which are a pain to reload, mainly because I have lost the codes etc.
