[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghrayfahx:
OK, I'm curious about the other keyboard. The hardware keyboard. I have a German G1, and have actually become quite fond of QWERTZ even though I mostly only speak English. I've gotten used to reaching down for y and up for z. Also, There are keys like the euro symbol that I actually use a lot living in Deutschland. Not to mention that all the little symbols are laid out completely differently than QWERTY, so looking at the keys just makes life that much tougher. Anyways, I want to change QWERTZ to be my default keyboard, other than having to type in a long string of commands each time or use gscript. I would like it to be so that it works in recovery, and doesn't get lost each time I change builds. Is this possible?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
hmmm, I would say yes...I wouldn't be able to tell you how though. I downloaded Russian keyboard from the market and it has the ability to change mapping of hardware KBT and change languages on it. So obviously there is a way. I believe devs name is Game Warrior (could be one word). It's on the market... contact him-he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Also... did you try switching locales in Settings->Locale and Text menu? That could do the trick (not sure what would you choose though as I'm not familiar what country uses QWERTz set-up).

Good luck, I hope you figure it out... sorry I had it easy.. I just dl'd my vk from the market :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghrayfahx:
I DID have it working when I first got my phone. Everything was just dandy with JF1.51 as well. I decided to install the latest DizzyJACHero, and had to update my recovery image, SPL and Radio. Somewhere in there, it borked things up. I tried going back to another SPL and recovery, but only ended up in bootloops when I did that. I redid everything, but I'm stuck with QWERTY unless I do some terminal stuff each time I change roms. And with all the nice new ones (I LOVE Rosie, but she's a resource/battery hog) it's becoming more frequent that I change roms. Eh, I guess I'm just stuck having to terminal my way out of it, like usual with computers.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
SPL, Radio and/or Recovery image have nothing to do with the way your keyboard behaves... hmmmm

Here... talk to DudeOfLife in the developement forum (pm him or something). His rom at some point had every language and every layout included.. he should know about this. As an alternative... you can make a script of what you put in terminal and have G1 run it on start-up to change mapping for you. Rogro82 is the king of scripts fyi.

Good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelay:
all u need to do is istall the new keyboard as an update. thats if it come in an update.zip format. otherwise, just install the .apk file and you should be good to go. best of luck!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
He is not talking about virtual keyboard... he is talking about hardware.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barina:
thanks a lot :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghrayfahx:
Well, I actually feel kinda smart for once. I just opened up a build which had the QWERTZ files in it. I deleted everything else except that folder (and the ones inline above it) and those files. Renamed them to the v3 files. I also added in all the ringers/notifications/alarms that I wanted from other builds in the right locations as well. I now can unzip any build I want to check out, copy the system folder I created over, and it fixes all my keyboard issues, plus ensures I'm never left with just one ringtone/alarm again. Just rezip and resign, then I can flash it right over. Just verified it all worked before posting. If anyone else wants that, I recommend trying it. My next question will be, can I JUST use these files, make a new update.zip that I will flash over any existing rom. If so, I'll just make one and post it up. Well, I guess I may as well try that now. I'm not doing much else tonight.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghrayfahx:
So, quick answer, NO. It didn't work like I hoped.

Long answer, If I understood more about the update script, I may have been able to get it to work. I noticed it was formatting the System folder when it went to install, pretty much screwing EVERYthing up. Maybe if someone knows how to make the script only replace the files instead of completely wiping the system folder, I may have something others can use. As it stands, it's really useful for me, and pretty much noone else.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
1. Can't you put your commands (that you type in the terminal) into your userinit.sh and it will run on every start up? Not a pro about this but I think it's one way of doing it.

2. There's a guy in the development forum who will build a custom rom for you. He made a post, you should see it on first or second page. Drop him a line. He may just show the way how to do it or he may just build you a rom. Don't worry, we'll figure it out one way or another :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghrayfahx:
Cool, sounds good. I was looking at the script, and it's pretty straight forward. I COULD possibly figure it out if I wanted, but I wouldn't want to put other people's phones at the risk of me being an idiot. Heh. I'll check with the other guy. Thanks

Am feel very upset that I found the 2200mA, but the sales hot line said it is not ready to sale in HK right now !!!!?????

That is totally curious and thinking what kind of the marketing strategy it is :confused::mad::eek:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] RNX_r:
u can find them on www.taobao.com in China mainland~ order and ems to hk~:D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] BumAround:
Old marketing strategy just like everywhere else in Asia.

It's either sales volume is (forecast-ed to be) higher outside HK, or it can be sold to HK market at a higher price as imported good.

Either way, it won't work at this age. You'll see.

Hey everyone, I just got my new fuze and flashed Energy's new ROM onto it.

I also am interested in remapping my PTT to camera any help with that would be appreciated.

Any other possible tweaks any of you suggest?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sparkz914:
Well if you have an energy rom your PTT button should open the camera if you hold it for 2 seconds
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Stevomenevo:
oh well maybe i should read before I install roms, turns out Energy also includes a data blocker in his rom.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammorris:
Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off the display while in a call? On my HTC Touch Pro I was able to just press the power button to achieve this - but on the Hero the power button is also the hang up button.

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elcom:
Actually it's supposed to turn off automatically.

IMO the problem isn't turning the screen off during a call, it's turning it back on when needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ale.agos:
I agree completely... Is an annoying issue that display go away on call because if you need something, ie keyboard or see call duration you need to do something for have it back.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3PUBL1K:
Why not try this app, which you shake to wake the screen - not tired it myself but worth a go :)

Shake Awake
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammorris:
If the screen goes blank during a call you can simply press the menu button to wake up the screen again. Just tested that and it works fine.

Still, it would be nice to be able to turn it off when I want and not have to wait for it to time out to switch the display off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadManDan:
You can also press the answer button to wake screen while in a call.

As to shake-it-to-wake-it, with the non-stick coating on the device I would probably be likely to launch it out of my hand !!! haha

Sprint Hero

I just picked up a Spring HTC Hero this weekend and am finding the same problem. When I place the phone up to my ear the screen does not shut off. However since the end button is also the same button used to turn off the screen, I'm in a catch 22.

For now I have to wait for the screen to time out. Turning the screen back on is not an issue as many have mentioned.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fullerlee:
Hello

Has anyone been able to get decent video playback on the Hero?

I've tried several encoders, generating files which play fine on a PC, but are jerky on the Hero. I've also downloaded a couple of sample iphone compatible h264s off the web, and they show the same problem (e.g. http://www.mediafire.com/file/0xczlxcc2mt/sample4pspandiphone.mp4)

My SD card is a class 6, so I wouldn't have expected it to be the card. So, is the problem the phone's lack of horsepower? Or is the video player not very efficient?

Anyone come across some magic h264 encode settings that result in video that works well on the Hero?

Thanks,

Lee

[EDIT] Just to add, I've tried closing down all extraneous apps, so the only things running are Album, Touch Input, and the video player itself.[/EDIT]
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
If you look at the demo video on the sd card you'll see it plays flawlesly on the inbuilt player. Dunno what bitrate/settings HTC used for that video, but its spot on.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] veejayjameson:
If you have an advanced encoder that allows you to change every minute setting. Run vlc video player on your pc and open up the HTC demo vid. Then select codec info..

Or, if not iv found "encodehd" works just as well. Latest version has a g1 setting which is the same screen so works well, even full movies :)

Annyone found a video player with a better interface? The HTC one has no filenames so is impossible to tell what's what!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] David Horn:
Handbrake with the iPod Touch profile works flawlessly for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fullerlee:
What version of handbrake?

What size video are you creating?

What type of SD card do you have?

Would you be able to upload a sample that you have verified working on your Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Diskun:
Same here, I just tweaked a few options and the video looks gorgeous and smooth.

Some videos I made:

· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLZobYT9ync&fmt=18

· http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu3_k1p5Jjc&fmt=22

They include comments with info about encoding and formats used. I had some apps in memory, like Google Mail, Netcounter, Power Manager, etc. and still run flawlessly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fullerlee:
Pretty much the same video spec as I'm using, although my are UK tv source so 25 fps.

Are you using the standard 2gb card?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Diskun:
Yeap, at least until I get a 8Gb MicroSD.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robw1978:
This isn't a memory card problem

OK, I can say for definite that this isn't a memory card problem.

Not only can I read and write files to the card many times quicker than is needed for playback, but I also copied the files to the internal phone memory and played from there.

I also closed down all of the Sense UI and ran it from Home with the video player being the only application running, well nearly anyway.

And yet I am still getting stuttering video. I have tried multiple sources, resolutions, bitrates etc. It is very strange that there is still stuttering on very low bitrate clips.

I have also tried it 3 different video players, HTC, Video Player & Meridian and encoded the files using Handbrake (lots of different settings) and EncodeHD.

Update: It would seem that Beebplayer and youtube have the same problem. They both have the same loading icon which suggests that all the applications use the same routines for playback. It looks like its a software or driver problem.

It would be helpful if someone who has it working properly could post the same information to see if there is a difference in software builds.

Thanks

I'm sorry, but there is something just not quite right here. I'm on a UK T-Mobile G2 and would be interested to know if anybody else with the same has got it to work smoothly.

I'm wondering whether there are slightly different builds that are causing problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fullerlee:
robw1978, glad I'm not the only one! Exactly the same symptoms here, stuttering every now and again - it does seem to be associated with fast-motion. We could do with someone from HTC looking at this thread.

If you try the sample video at the top of this thread, you'll see if on the fast motion bits. If we could use that video as a benchmark so we're all looking at the same thing. Pepole who aren't seeing this problem, please try the video above.

Where are you getting that info from?

The only difference is the SD card. I am using one from a previous phone and not the 2GB one that shipped with the hero.

I suspect its either the card speed or you have some other application running on the phone and causing problems with playback.

Hi Guys,

I have a White unlocked Hero and I have no issues with playback when using the h264 encoder.

I originally had issues using just the mp4 for ipod on handbrake as they were slow and stuttery.

Switched to encoding with Handbrake on iphone setting with H264 as the encoder and I get great smooth video now.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] dperren:
Handbrake using the iPod touch profile results in absolutely flawless video playback for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robw1978:
Strange

I was playing about last night with things like SetCPU and killing applications. Whilst I'm not really sure that SetCPU actually does anything during the testing I got the standard video I used to play back smoothly.

The only problem is that I can't replicate the same situation!! I have tried exactly the same steps and still no joy.

Also to be sure that it wasn't anything I had loaded onto the system I did a factory reset and it was still not performing correctly.

With one of the benchmark applications I have seen that it doesn't max out the CPU and data transfer rates from the card to the internal memory are pretty good (certainly way more than what is needed for playing back video).

So in my mind the possible reasons are:

- Buggy graphics driver (I haven't seen problems in games, but often video is handled differently.)

- Buggy video playback software (maybe not enough caching), most likely explanation I think.

- Buggy hardware (guess I will have to wait for a custom rom to test this properly, but graphics benchmarking appears fine).

- Other software causing problems (I have done a factory reset, so I don't see how this can be the case).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] willyp:
Video

Has anybody come up with a solution for this problem yet? I am not new to encoding video for mobile devices as have had many different mobiles. I have never had such an issue as I am having with the Hero!!!

No matter what encoding settings I use (and I have gone right down to 250kbs bad quality) I still get a lag then catch up every 3 or 4 seconds.

From everything I've read class of memorycard doesn't make a difference. I have a class 4.

Any help guys? Would be most appreciated, the iphone is beginning look nicer every day LOL
