[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] cosmicgate:
[Release] WM6.5.1 Beta Build 23071 German/Deutsches ROM v1.0

Erst mal Danke an an dich d-two, das du es wieder fertig gebracht hast ein funktionierendes Rom zu entwickeln.

Installierte nun schon alle Roms deiner seits. Das Wireless LAN schein aber eher ein Problem zu sein von Mobile 6.xx. Das mit neuen Button unter Verbingungen funktioniert nun endlich tadellos, das hier der WLAN konstant ein bleibt.

Jetzt aber mal ein andere Frage an alle Teilnehmer hier, und zwar die Accu Laufzeit. Muss nun seit Mobile 6.xx feststellen, das sich der Acuu schneller entleert wird als unter Windows 2003 Mobile. Mit dem Orginal Accu 1490mAh ist der MDA im Standby alle Aplikationen sind hier aus schon nach 3 Tagen leer. Menie beide weiteren Accus 3600mAh oder auch der 4200mAh heben nicht mal eine Woche mehr. Zuvor waren dieses 2 Wochen mit leichtigkeit gewesen.

Kann dieses hier einer bestätigen, oder hat hier mein MDA III schon einen Hardware defekt.

Standby mit Wireless

:confused: Wenn Wireless eingeschaltet ist und das Handy in den Standby geht, erhalte ich nach dem drücken des Powerkopf nur einen weissen Bildschrim? Hat das sonst noch jemand mit Build 23071?

[Release] WM6.5.1 Beta Build 23071 German/Deutsches ROM v1.0

Hallo swiss420, ;)

kann dieses leider nicht bestätigen, wenn Ich den Knopf drücke kommt bei mir sofort mein Hintergrund Bild. Habe dieses sofort verändert, da mir das schlichte windows Bild nicht gefallen hat. Schau doch noch in deinen Taskmanager, ob dort nicht noch ein weiteres Programm im Hintergrund läuft. Meine erfahrung ist, das Ich bevor mein MDA III nicht mehr benötige alles im Taskmanager erst mal beende. Schau dort mal nach, ob hier nicht doch noch der Internet Explorer aktiv ist, dieses kann vieleicht dein Problem sein mit dem weissen Hintergrund.

Weisser Bildschirm

Habe es nochmals ausprobiert, Hardreset etc. Wenn ich Wireless aktiviere & verbinde und er in den Standby geht erscheint der weisse Bildschirm und bleibt. Nur ein Reset ermöglicht das weiterarbeiten.

Habe folgende Version:

R 1.12.00

G 1337.42

D 6.5.1 23071

Evtl. die ältere Funk Version? Was ich auch bemerkt habe wenn ich im Taskmanager die Anwendung Internet Explorer beende bleibt der Prozess iexplorer.exe am laufen. Hat jemand eine ahnung wie ich laufende Prozesse beenden kann? Sorry wenn das mal wieder eine blöde Frage ist. Diesbezüglich habe ich sowieso die hoffnung das Anwendungen sich irgendwann auch wieder mit dem X schliessen lassen. Ist da bekannt wieso das nicht mehr geht?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] bl00dlust:
Danke schön, du bist der beste! :)

Kann ich so nicht bestätigen beim mir flickert es komischerweise 1 sekunde lang und dann ist wieder alles wie gehabt.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Tja Swiss das liegt daran das der HTC Taskmanager leider nicht mehr läuft wegen dem neuen layout. Hier hat auch im Thread einer geschrieben das er eine x-button version gefunden hat die funktioniert er hat aber nicht gesagt welche und nach vielen test hab ichs dann auch erst mal aufgegeben.

Ich benutzte übrigends die Radio version 1.15.00 und hab das problem nicht...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swiss420:
Radio 1.15.00

Habe den BA mit Radio v1.15.00 geflashed und das ROM auch nochmals aber immer noch mit dem gleichen Resultat. Vielen Dank bl00dlust, cosmicgate, und natürlich d-two für eure antworten. Werde mal vorläufig auf Build 23060 zurückgreifen.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
In der 23060 hast du das Problem nicht?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] swiss420:
Build 23060

Habe Build 23060 wieder geflashed und starten nach standby mit Wireless aktiv läuft einwandfrei. Keine Ahnung was da nicht klappt bei mir, mit Build 23071. Aber halb so wild, bin zufrieden mit 23060.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] d-two:
Ok dann werd ich mal sehen was der Unterschied ist!

kann mir einer vllt sagen, warum TomTom 7 auf dem BlueAngel jede paar sekunden hängen bleibt?

hab den neusten rom von d-two drauf. es war mit anderen roms aber genauso :confused:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] laracroftlover:
hm, also meine maps sind nur 260mb groß (DE-AT-CH 815.2024). darf ich fragen, welche TT7 version bei dir läuft? ich hatte bei mir die 7.915.9196 drauf.

GPS Navigation

Falls du möchtest kannst du mal v7.910.9185 ausprobieren. Läuft bei mir einwandfrei habe aber d-two's Build: 23060. Empfehle aber auf iGO8 umzusteigen, dann nimmst du wenigstens nicht die gleiche ausfahrt im Stau wie jeder andere. :) IGO 8 benutzer würde ich zudem gurjon's Skin empfehlen.

Hast du die Hänger auch mit anderen GPS Programmen? Wie BeelineGPS oder Franson GPSGate?

[Release] WM6.5.1 Beta Build 23071 German/Deutsches ROM v1.0

Hallo swiss420, mal eine Frage an dich,

welche GPS Maus verwendest du den hier bei deinem MDA III in verbindung mit dem IGO8. Weiter auch noch, was steht bei dir alles in der SYS Datei untr Programme IGO8 drinnen. Seit dem ich die Version 23060 oder auch die 23071 installiert habe, findet mein iGO8 - Build 8.3.4.102680 oder auch die Version iGO8 - Build 8.3.2.92313 seine GPS Maus nicht mehr. Hat aber unter der Version 23004 und auch unter der 23052 und auch unter Win2003se Mobile ging es auch noch.

I am trying to find a good player for .avi, .mpeg4, etc. for my TP2. I used to use TCPMP but when I installed it on my TP2 it errors out at launch. Any ideas? Is there a newer version of TCPMP that is compatible?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lord_BlackAdder:
The WMP supports avi and mp4. And it works!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dcam1075:
Hmm, it does not work for me. That is strange.

Once installed you need to go into Options/Settings... and choose the DirectDraw page, then tick the box that says "Use blitting instead of overlay".
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mike2nl:
Try Core Player. It is amazing... it is also running via network (wifi)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Aqrab:
the best video player is coreplayer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
The impression I get from reading these fora is that CorePlayer may be the best but that it's still not actually particularly good, as it is unable to benefit from any of the hardware acceleration provided by the Qualcomm chipset - this being HTC's fault for providing dodgy or non-existent drivers. It seems like this is a major weakness of the TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
Actually, from what I remember, it's not HTC's fault per se, so it's not really fair to blame HTC. The thing is that Qualcomm sold their chipsets but different price ranges for the same chip. The difference being that if one paid more then they'd get the drivers necessary to take advantage of other features. Basically one has to pay for the drivers. So HTC's player includes hardware acceleration, but just because it seems they have gotten the drivers for that feature doesn't mean that they can pass the drivers on to software makers (just like you can't legally pass your copy of a game on to a friend). But neither can we say it's Qualcomm's fault as it was their pricing plan. I think somewhere it was stated that it was a misunderstanding at some point. But yeah, that's the gist, and why if Coreplayer is to work they have to reverse engineer the drivers or deal with Qualcomm directly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lord_BlackAdder:
What's wrong with the built-in free WMP? It plays 640x480 MP4 (H.264) videos smoothly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dsjr2006:
Let me get this straight... Your saying it's not HTC's fault because you think they didn't know they were buying chipsets without drivers from Qualcomm. To me it sounds like they cheaped out and screwed consumers.

I highly doubt its a misunderstanding and I'm not afraid to place blame because I'm more than certain HTC knew what they were doing otherwise they wouldn't keep ordering more of the same chipset to produce new phones.

If this were really the case I would assume we would see slightly different hardware or drivers included with CDMA versions since they would have had time to figure this out since everyone else already has.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Gave up Core Player for the Touch phones. It doesn't play movies at all well. Just use the built-in WMP or the HTC album player.

Download the Encoder GUI and just re-encode your movies. Let it run during your bedtime. Easy!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
For starters, it doesn't play xvid.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Re-encode it using the Encoder GUI. Why fight it?

Don't think there any mobile phones that can play xvid videos at 800x480 smoothly. Even the latest i8000 only supports video playback at up to 720x480.

Even if you get an iPhone, you will still need to convert it to in order for you to watch it.

My solution, either re-encode it, or play a lower resolution xvid (i think i tried it once at 622x288, can't remember and it played ok in core player).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fizzig:
I'd go with Coreplayer too as it has the widest range of codecs available BUT if the bitrate of your clip is too high your phone won't like it whatever player you use (but you probably knew that anyway...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] reddog:
Hi Everyone I have found that GOM Encoder does an outstanding job of converting any movie to a playable format for the Rhodium
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Hey, good find! Will give it a try for sure! Cheers!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] osarus:
Core player has some nice features, but benchmarking h264 playback it was somewhat lacking compaired to windows media player mobile....

95% of the time u will want to/have to re-encode to make it smaller or lower the bitrate to something it can play, so codec support shoudnt be a choosing factor...

I get WMPM playing smooth with H264(1300~ bitrate) and ACC audio(stereo at 128 varieable bitrate) at 800x416. which is dame nice quality on the small screen :)

I'll start a thread on encoding with MeGUI to get you all started
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] webbyfoot:
But I can't get full screen on WMP

Do you know what I'm doing wrong? After not being able to use WMP on my Universal (WM5) because it could not do full screen - I load a movie into WMP on my shiny new Touch Pro 2 and 'full screen' isn't - it has a dirty great big border round it! The video is smaller then the screen but WMP is set to stretch to screen. What gives??

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Doughnut:
wow that done the trick for me, awesome playback imo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kr00t0n:
I tried the Touch HD encoder and used the advised settings in the thread.

Playback is smooth in HTC Album, but the quality seemed fuzzier than my normal method.

So back I go to:

Coreplayer

Videos encoded using PocketDivXEncoder with the following settings:

HDTV preset

Video quality: 70

Audio quality: maximum

Resize the video so that the video width is 400 pixels, maintaining the aspect ratio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ckeegan:
Sorry guys, new TP2 owner here. Getting ready to take a trip, so I need to find the best video playback option quickly. I was literally just about to hit the order button for CorePlayer, but then I downloaded the mobile player from divx.com. Seems to do a decent job, but I have no basis for comparison. Any drawbacks that you guys know of with the Divx Mobile Player that would make CorePlayer worth the $30ish?

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] goalweiser:
Go with CorePlayer! Very easy to use. Plays all types of video formats without the need to convert anything. I've gotten some pretty good looking episodes of True Blood on my phone with no converting at all. Of course, unless you have 32 GB on that phone, you might want to think about converting anyway!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DiZzeeNL:
strange. last days i was also trying to get a good format for my tp2.

i tried mp4 but couldnt play it with wmp

and wmv stucks if the bitrate is higher than 650kb/s

i use AVS Video Converter 6, and downloading coreplayer now.

hope i get better results :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hyellow:
i'd recommend coreplayer, plays all major formats, except for the exotic ones of course, just plain avi, divx, xvid, mp4 and even wmv, though wmv stutters sometimes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
I have to disagree and the best solution is to encode the videos using the Encoder GUI and play it using the HTC Album Player.

The best results are 640x386 (247040 pixels) @ 25fps h.264 MP4 format.

Never faultered. Played every video smoothly and nicely. Colour is a little duller than AVI files but still as good as you can get it.

Well, you can play AVI Dvix files on coreplayer for sure but not at 640x386. The best I can play is 664x268 (177952 pixels). If you play any more larger files, it till jump and drop frames.

I play a lot videos on my handsets. TP2 is definately better than HD in video playback. Try it and see. It's all about trial and error. Maybe you will find a better ratio or maxium number pixels played on the screen than me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wearefree:
TCPMP works great on TP2 after changing the directdraw in settings. The only downside is it doesn't have a finger friendly UI, and the play/pause and such are all masked in black so it's awkward to control without keyboard.

I normally pull my keyboard out so I can use the arrow keys to control and use the keyboard as a stand for the screen.

TCPMP is better than CorePlayer in terms of AC3 support, as I have a few dvdrips encoded in divx and ac3. TCPMP plays them perfectly without the need to transcode anything. The only time it takes is to copy/paste the movie to my storage card.

The other thing is, any one has found a good player for rmvb file? I tried the real player for ppc, end up having to hard reset to get it off. The plugins I found for WMP sorta works, but no fast forwarding or jumping.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] phonuzer:
The TCPMP version that seemed most stable was 72RC1 as Shasarak mentioned; found here as well with additional plugins available http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/.

(Will this build work on the Rhodium/TP2?)

Total Video Converter has worked well for me in converting most any file format and PocketDivX Encoder has been helpful in the past as well.

I will be receiving my TP2 soon and would like to assume that I can assign keys for play, skip, etc. for TCPMP as was done with the old SDA/Tornado (and not have TP2's keyboard open) - am I wrong?

Will the movies/shows that I formatted to play on the Tornado play just as well, if not better, on the TP2 or do I need to start over?

Thanks for any help.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super Chimp:
I have noticed you can now pick up an X1 for as little as £330 on Amazon UK and I was looking for a cheapish secondary phone that would be could for web browsing & e mail. As well as using as a modem for a Mac laptop.

Is the X1 a good choice for something like this, how is the build quality & UI speed.

Being a noob to WM how is it to get along with on the X1 with the panels etc.

Is there any software that can be installed that helps usability?

It seems to be a good deal cheaper than the price of Touch HD is, even after all this time.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Wel not every phone is perfect.

if you get a x1 i suggest to flash a custom rom wm6.5 that will speed up the device. i think the x1 is a great phone its not to big and comes with a keyboard. the specs are almost the same as TP2. the Tp2 has a bigger screen and speaker.

but if you want a phone thats not to big and has a keyboard than the x1 would be a great choice. i don't know how it works with mac(i'm a linux user). you can find so many software here to make you x1 like you want to. there are so many different UI that you can use. like: TouchFlo3D, PointUI and SPB.

I'm using wm6.5 now for a long time and i must say its fast enough for me.

I hope this helped you.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] some8:
I have been using it for around few months now and my opinion is I'd look at different phones.

Altho this is one of the most feature packed phone at the moment there are few downsides which are quite critical in terms of usability as a phone.

1. Windows OS not stable enough unless you are keen to soft reset every other day. I soft reset mine every couple of days.

2. Weak reception, compare to my Nokia E71.

3. Lose of reception when you held the phone for a while. Work around to this is getting a silicon case for the phone or apply screen protector at the back of the device, especially the battery cover. I wish there were aftermarket optiosn available such as carbon fiber casing/battery cover. It would cured the problem and make the device much lighter.

4. Battery drain problem once you start use shell/launcher such as SPB mobile shell and Winterface. Battery is fine till 30 percent or so then strangely empties quick overnight from there.

5. Scree lock software increases stability issues. I have used pocket shield and S2U2 ended up removing both due to stability problems.

6. Keyboard is not very well designed. Not the layout but the feedback from pressing buttons. It's kinda mush and not very tactile.

7. "Up" on Dpad is hard to press. and volume button is too small to operate especially when you have case on the phone.

8. Slow web browser. Both IE and Opera mobile is slow compare to Nokia's symbian web browser.

I'm using latest official firmware and tried many custom firmware/winmo 6.5 etc. I think touch flo 3d is the most stable custom launcher you can get for it, although I much prefer winterface launcher.

I have been trying to use this phone for work and I learned that you simply cannot rely on it as relibility suffers thanks to winmo OS. It's fine for personal phone but I wouldn't use it for a work phone.

In my opinion, it's perfect if you are looking for "mostly PDA but occasionally phone" device. If you are after phone first and PDA second, look into Noka N97 or E series. Nokia makes very reliable phones. Or look into HTC Dream/Hero/Android OS devices. I myself thinking of changing my phone to HTC Android OS phones atm. (if only N97 wasn't so expensive around here. darn it.)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxcheng:
Sure worth a 'TRY'. hehe ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Wich Rom do you use? If you installed to many software that is filling up the phone than you have to SR.

Where do you live? I have always full reception and never droped calls.

I read that so many people are getting scratches on there phone i'm using mine x1 for 9 months and never had a scratch on it. now i have a hard casing for it its better than the silicon one. http://cgi.ebay.nl/Hard-Case-for-So...ches?hash=item3355089a5e&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 its very cheap.

Wich WinMo phone has a good battery life? if you want a long battery life than don't buy WinMo phones. buy SE K series they have great battery life.

I didn't had any stability iseus with s2u2. but i'm not using any screen lock anymore.

At first it was hard for me to but you get use to it and i must say i'm very fast with it now

This is totally true

Try to use opera9.7 with turbo enabled its really fast even faster than iphone 3g. i know its still in beta phase.

you tried to many beta build i gues. i have winmo 6.5 with R3 firmware and its really fast with no stuff from other winmo devices. TF3D is nice and respnds good but i prefer the standard wm6.5 home.

This is not the fault of the phone but winmo. wm is just crap almost everybody agrees.

choose a OS so that can do all your jobs. i'm using wm because i use navigation on my phone(tomtom) and for me thats the best. read reviews of phones. there are always downsides with every phone i always say it there is no perfect phone or OS. every OS has its own problems. if you don't relay on software that run on OS i prefer you to buy a android phone htc hero. but if you wan't a phone with keyboard i suggest xperia because its not to big.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyellow:
I'd suggest you go for the touch pro 2, since you are new to winmo. It has a larger screen, hardware keyboard is great to use and is a bit more recent than the xperia.

Switching to winmo gives a lot of benefits, especially when you have a HTC device. You can change roms and try out different flavours etcetera. Install applications without jailbraiking or whatsoever. Get use to the tf3d, wich is a pretty neat home screen. Ofcourse, nothing beats the gaming capabilities of an iphone right now, but i do think that there are advantages on windows mobile.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
1 - I soft reset EVERY phone at least once a day. Depends on usage not on stability.

2 - Not true.

3 - Not true.

4 - Don't use shells then lmao.

5 - That is those apps' fault, not a problem with the phone or WinMo. lol at this btw.

6 - That is totally your own opinion. Most of the users fund the keyboard amazing. There is only one keyboard that gives better experience than the X1's and that's TP2's keyboard.

7 - True about the "up" button, but the volume keys are fine. If they were bigger, you would have complained about how huge they are lol.

8 - Biggest lie ever. Maybe you failed to mention that the Symbian browser is crap? Try SkyFire or Opera (for real this time).

I don't like TF3D and I'm using the official R3A ROM. Everything is perfect.

The phone is good for work.

LOL @ the phones you mentioned and especially ROFL @ the N97, which is the biggest fail in the known universe.

I suggest you read this before going for the TP2.

imho x1 is the best winmo device at the moment. maybe tp2 is more feature packed, but xperia looks better, size-wise it's amazing, it is fast and stable on r3a stock rom, pictures captured with it can be compared to normal digital cameras and the keyboard layout is made for fast texting/emailing. for me it is just perfect.
