[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Steeve24:
Without saying anything about certain formats we've been asked not to mention :), I have converted some films (they had to be converted, they were DVDs to start with!) and have got to a place where I'm happy, extremely, very slight lip-sync issue, but watchable, and on the 3.2 screen they look great, no issues with Video, just need to get the Audio-Video sync sorted.

BTW-Haven't used an existing files, converted films specifically for TD2 (the ones converted for my XDA Orbit were a bit on the small size due to the screen size.

PS Only use HTC Album to view, WMP doesn't seem to want to play anything I give to it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Tom Lenferink:
I have excellent quality with PocketDivxEncoder to make my movie smaller.

On my TD2/Topaz i use CorePlayer because it's WideScreen.

TCPMP won't run on my phone and WMP doesn't have the codecs.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ithehappy:
Ok,so I got one thing-A conversion is a must for higher qualities. But I will not see high qualities/resolution on my TD2,I'll rather choose my 22" HD Dell monitor for that,but I thought I atleast can watch the DVD rips(the popular xvid encoded <=700mb)on my TD2 by Core player or else when I am on the go..haven't had a clear idea about it..anyways thnx for voting.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jgal:
I'm guessing you are looking for a bit more clear answer, so I will try to give you one. The answer is - YES, you can easily watch DVD rips WITHOUT any conversion, on the go, by Coreplayer of course :) To me personally, any conversion at all is a misunderstanding. Sure, a phone isnt a PC, but if I pay so much for it, I demand that it can handle unconverted videos. And Topaz really does that very well :) As an example, I can tell you that I watch a lot of my favourite TV shows and series on the go without any compression, I just download my show (which has a resolution practially the same as DVD) and put it on my SD card. As far as You do not want to watch videos with more than 700x... resolution, you dont even have to convert anything. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my Topaz's video playback capabilities :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jgal:
oh and to be even more clear - all <=700MB xvid encoded movies running superb smoothly, WITHOUT any compression :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Steeve24:
Just to be clear, the ripped DVD can't just be a standard file, it has to have been converted first, even if that conversion keeps the resolution and size intact, even Coreplayer can't play vob files.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wineds:
Coreplayer also doesn't support AC3 audio which is a huge limitation and disappointment :( This means that any video files with DD are no go.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] StuartMaher:
watched the pilot of Caprica. The file was downloaded for PC viewing. was a Xvid encoded .avi file resoloution 624 x 352 and encoded with 23 fps with a data rate of 133 Kbps (It says 133kbps for audio as well, so I assume that is the total ofr both streams).

Played perfectly on Core player
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ithehappy:
Thank you guys for voting and commenting. I decided to test the topic by myself. And I am so unlucky to say that I got stunned by it. I copied a .xvid encoded .avi music video file(71mb),24fps,640*352 from my Desktop Pc to the TD2,played it with the CorePlayer 1.30(6213) and the result was TERRIBLE. It just didn't play anything at all. The sound was there but the video lagged all the way. So,what to do now? Huh,I decied that's it,as my major priority was watching video without any conversion has failed and failed so badly,so I am selling it. But except all this I liked it.

Thank you guys,bye.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wineds:
I think 1.3.2 build 6909 is the current release so maybe the version you are using is a bit old. It should play xVid avis no problem at that resolution. You could alos try the free TCMP from which coreplayer was derived. http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] StuartMaher:
What was the data rate? My version of Core is older (1.25) and the same res file flew for me. It was a 700MB file for 90 odd minutes of video.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ithehappy:
I tried two videos(music),here are the detail:

The First one,(a Taylor Swift video),72mb

The details from my PC- Time-4 mins 37 secs,Resolution 640*352,Audio format-Lame MP3,Audio Bit rate-192kbps and Video Frame rate-23fps/sec, Video Date rate-2099kbps, Video Sample size-24bits, Video compression-FFDS

Now when I tried to play that by Core Player 1.30 on my TD2,it didn't run at all,

Now the details of the Video by Core Player-

Video- AVC aka H.264,Codec-Core AVC and I played it for first 30 seconds and it played 67 frames and Dropped 985 frames,the rate was 1.527

Now the second music video,98.6mb

Resolution-512*384,Runtime-18 mins 57 seconds, Frame rate-23fps/sec,Data rate-710kbps,Video sample size-24bits,Video compression-XVID

Now Core player played this video well,very well infact,the Details by Core player,

Video-MPEG4,Codec-Core ASP,I watched it for first 6 mins and it played 744 frames and dropped 7,Played FPS-23.88

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jgal:
I'm guessing that You copied your file to the memory card. If so, did You install SDTuneUp drivers? It looks like they are a must have.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ithehappy:
Sir,I don't know what is SD tune up driver and where to install from. BTW-I don't have a memory card on my TD2,it didn't come out of the box and so lazy to buy a seperate one.

hi, I am wondering how the performance is watching football (soccer) highlights from youtube or www.footytube.com , does anyone have any ideas? I have tried this on sony Ericsson w995 and the ball is invisible :s
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] bambony:
I know it has been mentioned before but converting using he HTC Touch HD ‘Encoder’ program works well using HTC Album playback on my stock ROM TD2 playing back from the SD Card.

I understand that some of you are resistant to converting files and do not want to go this route but I thought it might help some of those reading this thread that smooth HQ playback from the SD card is absolutely possible without paying any money if you spend the time converting files on a PC (or Mac).

[G1 Accessories] Boeboe:
I recently discovered the my tracks app for android and now take my phone with me whenever I go running. Only problem however: I need to keep holding the phone in my hand. Because I need a GPS signal I can't just put it in my pocket.

Does anyone know a good way to somehow strap the phone to my body (my arm or hip) in a way that it can see the gps sattelites? I've seen arm-straps for the iphone for exactly that purpose, but I can't find something suitable for the G1.
[G1 Accessories] turboyo:
You might be able to squeeze it into the iphone one.. someone should try and report back if they know anyone with one of these..would be usefull to use when working out as music player..
[G1 Accessories] foxmeister:
I've been using MyTracks with my G1 in my pocket and it had no trouble picking up the GPS signals.

[G1 Accessories] JanetPanic:
I use this:

http://www.amazon.com/ArmBand-Gener...9?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228504261&sr=1-9

The screen is a little difficult to use while in the case and the fit could be better, but it is usable.
[G1 Accessories] Saiboogu:
Me too - Fire it up and wait for satellites, start the recording and drop it in my pocket. Never had a drop out or loss of signal. Have you tried it yet?
[G1 Accessories] bittermormon:
armband

This was recommended to me over on GDGT, but I haven't bought it yet

http://www.sportline.com/product.php?prod=42

Also check out Buddy Runner, I greatly prefer it to myTracks.

Amazon and eBay have a few armbands as well, right now I am holding the g1 in my hand. Its not so bad.
[G1 Accessories] flowidc:
I use this armband when I run with the G1. It fits kinda tight in the case and sometimes pushes on the volume buttons. A quick adjustment of the phone usually fixes this. I have no problems using the screen with the case but sometimes the glare makes it hard to see the screen. I wear the phone and the armband upside down so it makes it a bit easier to use. As foxmeister and Saiboogu said the gps also works in your pocket after you link up to the gps satellites. I also really liked ordering from iarmbands, it was cheap and was delivered quickly to my house, good customer service, which you don't see to often these days.
[G1 Accessories] All~G1:
I found a cheap samsung armband set at Walgreens or CVS which came with two different types of straps and one carring case. The G1 actually didn't fit into the original pouch so used the Neoprene pouch that the phone came with. I cut to slits on the back to put the band through and on the front I cut out a portion out for the screen. Worked perfect and the Neoprene pouch is tough and still in great shape. I was using it for all my gym sessions and may go back to it if the S9's I bought keep acting up.
[G1 Accessories] lukekirstein:
I haven't been able to run with my G1 without holding it, because when I'm wearing gym shorts it flys around like a brick and can be painful too.

The unfortunate thing is, I use it as an MP3 player when I'm running, and the now 10 foot cord that I use is a pain to jog with, along with carrying a water bottle.
[G1 Accessories] nickmgray:
I sue my G1 with an OOOLD ipod armband case. The G1 actually sticks out the top since it's much longer than my iPod, but since it's a tight fit, it doesn't do anywhere. If you're using it for music as well, you need to upgrade to a stereo bluetooth headset. You'll love it. I'm using the Motorola S9 (which I also used with my HTC Touch)
[G1 Accessories] bfreexxx:
Tunebelt

I use a product called the "Tune Belt" that goes around my waist. I find it more comfortable than using an armband. Nice material, good construction, nice design. I ordered mine on Amazon. If I put my G1 face outward, I can actually use the touch interface through the clear vinyl. But, I usually turn it face in because of the G1's chin and the way it contours around my waist.

Here is more info on it:

http://www.tunebelt.com/domino/tunebelt/tunebelt.nsf/ip2

The Motorola S9-HD is great for wireless bluetooth operation and I can even take calls with it while I'm running. Sound quality is awesome, but I notice that the fit could be a little tighter in my ears.

I use Buddy Runner app to track my runs, and I listen to music while running too.

I highly recommend the Tune Belt.
[G1 Accessories] kizer:
I have a generic arm band, however I kinda like the looks of that tunebelt over an arm band.

For the software I'd give cardiotrainer a try. It tracks, plays MP3's while you run and has for 2bucks has a race against yourself feature.
[G1 Accessories] IRIE4IPIER:
i use the case that came with my t-mobile wing. oh and you should also try CARDIO TRAINER from the market. its free and it is very lovley. theres a seperate module you can purchas where can race against your previously recorded tracks. motivates me alot.
[G1 Accessories] bigslanki:
im skeptical about running with my phone the g1 is huge!!!

i think i will just keep the nano
[G1 Accessories] bittermormon:
Except the g1 has GPS and will track your run for you...but each his own.

my armband from iArmbands just showed up. Phone fits great! Nice and snug. Definitely recommended
[G1 Accessories] Karolis:
I've just received my iArmBand - it does not look like it has actually been made for G1 because the holes don't fit, etc. Also the screen is hard to use. I mean it's usable, but I doubt you could do anything while running.

Actually I have not taken it out "for a spin" yet, so I might just post more tonight.
[G1 Accessories] bittermormon:
That's Odd. The only hole mine has is at the bottom for the headphone jack, but it lines up OK. How's the fit? If you sort of press out the air bubbles, my screen is very usable. i wonder if you got sent the wrong model?
[G1 Accessories] Karolis:
Well, I don't know about you, but those holes at the bottom (and top) don't fit anything on my device:

As for the air bubbles they are more like air pockets when I put my phone in.
[G1 Accessories] bittermormon:
I'll snap a pic of mine when I get off work. The 4 little rounds holes don't serve a purpose, but I don't think mine has that little slot. That looks more like an ipod touch or something.

Let me take a pic and you can compare.
[G1 Accessories] Karolis:
That would be great. Maybe I really got the wrong one.

Has anybody got bluetooth headset working in a hero based rom? I've been reading through the various threads but didn't find a positive answer. I am not sure, but over in the dream forum cooks mention something about "BlueTooth changes from Hero init.hero.rc and init.rc".

Are those files to be found in the boot.img? Could it provide a solution?:)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] frkser:
On any of my phones including new Pro2 when I have auto set for band, it always connects to GSM instead of 3G band on my network. This seems to be network depended because when in roaming it always connects to 3G when available.

Simple fix would be to leave 3G band only and not auto, but where I live not whole area is covered with 3G signal so I would often be out of reach.

Is there a way to make 3G (where signal is available) preferred band regardless of network preference?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gunggu:
u should have play around with your device more often, or read a lot in the forum, its in the communication settings - phone - change band - choose WCDMA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] frkser:
I don't think you have read my question entirely :)

I know where to choose band, but I need it to be on AUTO since 3G signal doesn't cover all region where I live.

But at the same time i want it to connect to 3G first if there is 3G for my network. Currently when band is on AUTO and when I turn on the phone it connects to GSM by default rather than 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Schmurtz1968:
In case of bad 3G coverage, The phone "Fall's" down in 2G mode by it self. We can't choose with one is prior to the other. It is an hadware (ie in the 3G ship) that is implemeted this choice, because 3G was promoted to respond to 2G saturation. In your case, this is due to a bad 3G covergage or bad 2G signal.

Hope it can help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] frkser:
I was afraid of something like this :(

Although I'm not sure this is in phone hardware, rather that preference is set by network. For example on my own mobile network even when I'm very close to 3G base station and signal is excellent, when I turn off the phone and turn it on it will choose GSM signal if phone is set to auto. This happens with every phone, not just HTC. And it will never connect to 3G again unless I set it manually in settings.

On other networks and when in roaming when I turn on the phone and have auto set it automatically connects to 3G, and when I loose 3G signal it connects to GSM but once 3G signal is available it automatically reconnects to 3G.

So I think this is actually set by network and not the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kourampies:
I sometimes work at a place that has full edge signal, and 2 lines (stable and good reception) of 3g. All HTC phones always prefer EDGE, if band is set to auto.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gunggu:
oops sorry, my bad...

even in my room here the 3G signal is weak (1 bar), but the phone still prefers 3G (HSPA) and not EDGE, it turns to EDGE when i go to the bathroom :p, but when i got out, in a couple of minutes it turns back to 3G.

Did some research on my device/rom and found there are many dlls i dont have a use for like:

Drivers

- ircomm.dll (IR COM3)

- gpsid.dll (GPS)

- scard.dll (smartcard ????)

- bta2dpsnd.dll (a2dp)

Services

- bthidsvc.dll (BT HID)

- btagsvc (again BT a2dp)

- enroll.svc (certificates ?????)

This is just an example to probe my point as there should be more i dont know the use of and some dependent dlls.This could mean a little more ram and responsiveness since there could be fewer events for the Os to attend. I dont have a GPS, nor wireless headphones, had never used the IR...

Question: Its there a way of simply stop these dlls from loading into memory like we do in windows? pls im not going to cook a rom just to do that ...i dont care about the storage just need ram.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mike3000:
So I'm cheap. I do not want to pay an extra $30 for data on my fuze. Shortly after buying my fuze, I immediately called up AT&T and asked them to turn off data, because my phone was constantly trying to connect to 3g, and from previous experiences I know it will rack up my bill since I am without a data plan.

Anyway I've been searching around because data on this phone would be nice to have when I am outside of wifi. I noticed how at&t offered prepay data on select go phones for between $10-20 per month (Link http://www.phonenews.com/att-gophone-prepaid-adds-data-only-option-3381/. I thought sweet! But then what about voice and texting? I need voice and texting, and it would be nice to stay on my family's plan since I am not paying for it.

Then I started reading about dual sim's and dual sim adapters and thought what if I could have my current sim (unlim. voice, unlim. text, no data) and add in the 2nd sim card of one of those special prepay data phones and have my fuze run off of that for 3g data.

I have read with dual sim adapters it sounds like you have to switch between the 2 of them, so would that mean I could use only one at a time? Meaning if I am on the second data only sim, I could not receive texts or calls until I switch back to my main sim?

If this configuration could work simultaneously than it would be PERFECT. But if theres anyone out there with more insight, please let me know. Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
first of all. 3g is not only data. 3G is basically a faster connection (that also includes phone calls). [unless i'm wrong, this is how I understand 3g]

second. I don't think there is a dual sim adapter for the touch pro, but it also kind of makes the phone look horrible (assuming it's connected to some port since there is no room for another sim card).

Only specific phones can handle dual sims like KIRF iphone nano so it's not really worth it to save 10 bucks a month since you'll be spending money anyways, to get this adapter of yours.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DaddyGoFast:
I think there is finally a dual sim adapter for the touch pro...

Check this out:

http://www.simore.ch/en/two_sim_cards_in_one_mobile/dual_sim_card_gold_1.php
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mputtr:
wow. That's kinda crazy to see that you have to cut up your sim card to fit it inside the dual sim adapter...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TechnoHippie:
Interesting thought. Bad news is they won't work simultaneously - however you can have the autoswitch every hour or so if you wanted.

Personally I'm not sure its really worth the effort. First off, you have to buy the adapter - which is going to cost you close to 100 bucks, then you'll need the gophone and it's sim-chip and the monthy prepay on that. By the time you add all this up you might as well just blow the 30 bucks on a data plan and save yourself the headace.

However the ability to now have dual sims in the FUZE is great. I suppose if you traveled a lot it could prove quite handy.

Hello,

I would like someone to clarify to me some things about the device memory. My current mem readings as shown in the Control Panel are:

- Storage: 299.01 MB (210.27MB free)

- Program: 183.73 MB (72.87 free)

According to the official specs, the Topaz has 512 MB ROM and 256 MB RAM. How are these two types of memory related to Storage and Programs? Is there a way to mess between RAM, ROM, Storage and Programs in order to achieve optimum memory usage? For example, in my device there seems to be a lot of free Storage Mem available, as compared to Program Mem... Should I need to do something about this big discrepancy?

I would be grateful if someone clarified all this to me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualc:
To be very short:

ROM (Read Only Memory) is where bootloader and Windows resides:Beside this there is more room to install applications (Programs) and to store personal files such as pictures,videos,mp3,docs etc.(Storage). ROM is non-volatile memory, this means that data will remain in the device even if power is cut off and will be available the next restart.RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile memory that your device needs for ordinary functioning (loads into it programs that are running).RAM wil be emptied if powered off. It does not have sense to compare these two values and try to make them similar. An advice would be to install and store all you can in the Memory Card.Note: some apps/cabs need necessarily to be installed in the device (Programs memory) otherwise they don't work.Note 2: Access timings to memory cards are higher than internal ROM, take it in consideration if you have to decide where to store/install.

...:DWell I wasn't so short..I'll try it again:

If someone asked me:""why do I have so little free Program memory compared to Storage memory?"

I'd answer:"It's beause of many useless Microsoft programs embedded into Windows that cannot be uninstalled, only cooks can do it"
