Problem solved

I am still tinkering, and adding patches now... BUT I was able to get wm6.5 (VERY SLOW ON MY WIZARD) so I went back to button rom, and installed XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 ROM, and I LOVE IT!!! like I said I am still adding stuff and playing with it, but so far its better than WM6 I have on my Cheetah (treo750)...

I will add the steps I took , and trial and error steps, so other people that are impatient and ask questions like I did, will know what to do.,.. BUT let me play with my new toy for a while!!!

One question.. Should I stay with IPL/SPL 2.26? Or should I go back up to 3.08 or ?????

Thanks
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
Hi guys,

I've reflashed my rom recently with a new mob6.5 version. Looks great, but I don't now have access to Telstra bigpond or Foxtel.

Any help appreciated.

I've scanned the forum, and there was one mention of a file to download, but the link (rapidshare) is no longer working.

Anybody know how to browse the free telstra sites (or the address) and how to get the foxtel logo (or address) working?

I'm using Telstra as the carrier.

thanks.

[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
didn't seem to work.

It opens up the site (in ie) http://mobiletv.telstra.com/startAction.do?entry=portal

not working in ie, tried in Opera as well, still no luck.

In Opera, I get:

'to access Telstra mobile Foxtel you need a compatible 3G or Next g phone.

Call 125 111 (or 125 8880 for prepaid) for more information (call charges apply).
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
can anybody with a proper Telstra rom advise of the URL link that it takes you to (and also does it use IE, or Opera, or something else?)
[Touch HD General] lt8x7:
That's me :-)
[Touch HD General] jackjonessr:
You can use Opera to access Mobile Foxtel, but you have to change a couple of things.

You have to set the user string in Opera to be:

Touch HD T8285 Opera /9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)

and you have to make sure the proxy addresses are set to:

10.1.1.181:80

To make these changes, go to About:Config in Opera. Do a quick find for User and then down the list it will show "Custom User Agent" make the change in there. The proxy address is entered in the proxy section. Check "enable http 1.1 for proxy"

Make sure you save the changes.

The URL mentioned in this thread should then work. You can also go to wap.telstra.com/wap for the mobile bigpond website.

Jack.
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
Thanks for your help, but no luck :-(

I've changed both the proxy and the string, but when I go to the URL per below, I still get the message:

Screen shots of config below:

Tried a reboot, but still no luck...
[Touch HD General] jackjonessr:
Your left hand screen shot doesn't go down far enough. There are three settings under "Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy"

These are FTP Server, HTTP Server and HTTPS Server. In each of these three fields should be 10.1.1.181:80

I usually don't search for these bits, just go straight to the Proxy section and expand it.

Make sure there isn't a space either in the Custom User Agent field between Opera and /9.50 - I think I inadvertently put one in. You should only have to change what comes before the word Opera.
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
ok, so close, yet so far :-)

I've done the extra mods, and removed the space. I can browse the http://wap.telstra.com/wap without problem, but when I click on Foxtel, I still get the same problem!

is there anyway to modify the ini file without having to view and scroll on screen? Is the file able to be copied to my pc?
[Touch HD General] jackjonessr:
I've never tried this before, but this is my Opera.ini file from Windows\Opera9

You should be able to just copy it into that folder while Opera isn't running.

I've attached it as Opera.txt - you'll have to rename it Opera.ini
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
nope, still no potatoe!!!

I wonder what it is... I copied down the file, renamed to ini, copied to the \windows\opera9 folder (and overwrote the existing one), then started opera....

browsed to the mobiletvetc URL, but got the same message :eek:
[Touch HD General] jackjonessr:
When you go to wap.telstra.com/wap, what page do you get?

The nice glossy Bigpond one or the old crappy WAP looking one?
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
sorry for the late reply... I get the nice one, easy to read etc.

Also, if I try to 'watch' and stories from the bigpond news, nothing happens. The status bar at the bottom start to display, then it disapears, and stays on the current screen.

I've just downloaded and installed V57 firmware, recopied over the opera.ini file to the \windows\opera9 folder, but still the same problem.....

If I press on the 'watch' icon, I now get the following...

interesting..... (and frustrating!)
[Touch HD General] nikonzero:
I have posted my Opera.ini from a default Telstra ROM. Hopefully this will help you. I also located an opera1.ini which I have included. let me know how you go.

Still no luck :confused:

I'll be buggered if I know what it is that's causing it...

Would you mind sending me your settings and setting1 files from the opera9\Settings folder?
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
...hold your horses.... it's working now!

I rebooted, then recopied down the files (both ini files) to the \windows\opera9 folder and it works!!

Many MANY thanks...

Hopefully this thread will help others as well :D

....maybe I spoke too soon....

I'm now getting 'This service is temporarily unavailable due to a technical issue. Please try again later. If problem persists call customer service on 125111 (or 1258880 for Prepaid) for assistance (call charges apply)....
[Touch HD General] jnrdavo:
also while you guys are so helpful, the screen size has now seemed to changed (presumably to do with the ini file).

See attached:

I've tried with both 'Automatic Full screen' off and on, but it must be another setting somewhere to get me back to the size that I had before...

Stupid me didn't keep a copy of the original opera.ini file (as I can see there is a section on adaptive zoom that probably has to be modified).
[Touch HD General] nikonzero:
Hi again,

Here is a new Opera.ini and the settings and settings1 files you requested. Place these in the appropriate directories and try again. I have tested these files and they have Opera displaying the WAP portal correctly.

I know this may be a big ask but can someone package this new ROM for Telstra customers to make it easier for us less tech savy individuals? I am able to follow 80% of this info and want to upgrade to 6.5 but I want to be able to still use my Telstra add ons.

Hi all,

I’m having a weird problem with my HTC Diamond.

I have 1,5 GB of MP3’s on my Diamond, organized in folders.

Recently one of the folder has become inaccessible (via the phone, active sync and the USB drive mode). I cant play the files or delete them.

All the other files and folder are fine.

Does anyone know how this happened and how i can delete these files.

Thanks Gino

Hello,

I know there have been threads on this subject, and I know that there is a QWERY version in dutch. The problem is, that we use AZERTY in Belgium, and there is no AZERTY dutch PRO2 on the market.

So I was wondering if it is possible to put a dutch ROM on the french version, and be able to use the azerty keyboard...

thanks,

I am trying to play downloaded DVD movies on my Rhodium and i presume its using Windows Media, the playback is sluggish and the sound is not in sync with the playback, is this the best i can expect after spending £500 or is it just that i need another media player? Shooting video and playing back seems fine the problem is when i convert a DVD the playback is pretty appalling, ANY HELP FROM ANYONE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] godefroi:
What format are the movies you're downloading? What are you using to convert them? Are the downloaded movies in sync? How about the converted ones? If you play them on your PC, are they synced up?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lord_BlackAdder:
Check the resolution of the movie. Make sure it is 640x480. You don;t want to have the CPU doing all the resizing as the movie is being played. Some format may be better than the others too. And try with WMP. I believe it has hardware acceleration built-in.

Still I would love the phone be able to play HD 720p videos natively. Maybe one day.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] T_o_S:
amen! lol anyways ya you just arent formating the dvd'rips very well then cause i have a few full dvd's playing in perfect quality and timing on WMP and that's not even the best player to use
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mrj:
Use core player, it works fine with most videos (far better than the standard app)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nikanarani:

try VIO Video Converter for your DVD conversions and select full quality. The file sizes are large but the quality and audio/video sync is superb.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skyler17:
Core Player is great and I consider 640x384 to be the optimal resolution for playback. Get a good video encoder and experiment for yourself though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] nickelklatzen:
Use Super C to resize the video and then coreplayer to play it, no problems at all!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kloc:
I can play 800x480 AVC @1.2Mbit/s through HTC Media Player smoothly. In Coreplayer I can't even get 1 FPS out of that file. I use MEGUI with the Zune settings to convert the video from a Bluray format.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] barneypooch:
As far as I can see, there isn't a good option right now, unless someone can say/prove otherwise.

For example: I have an AVI encoded with Divx 5 636*346, avg bitrtate 900, mp3 stereo. I can get this to play smoothly on much older hardware (a Palm TX), without conversion, via TCMPC.

So, WHY can't I find a player that works smoothly on the TP2?

I've read that the TP2 can handle avg bitrates up to 1,400 kbps; and it doesn't make sense to re-encode at a screen res lower than the bloody device.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tech_e:
What is the HTC Media Player? Anyonehave a cab?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ranney:
What I don't understand is that Coreplayer on my device has a verry low FPS. BUT when selecting the Benchmark function, the movie will play beautiful... (Only the movie and sound synchronisation is not so best...)

Anybody a working solution? On a different forum, i've read that HTC Album has the best hardware acceleration. They adviced to play movies with thc album (In the mp4 format)

i just can't imagine that there is no possibility to play normal divx/avi movies on my tp2 .. just like on pc.

i don't want to waste my time converting all videos just to watch it on tp2 ..

same prob with subtitle support .. can't be that difficult ?! only tcpmp can play them with an extension .. (and that video playback isn't smooth!)

i use a free program called handbrake and my settings are 480x320,mpeg4,480 biterate-Audio,AAC 160 biterate. i actually used these settings on my G1 originally but when i got my TP2 i tried a few of the movies out since they wur already on my memory card and they all play and sound great on the default player.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jamiewalshe:
im using coreplayer and ive not had a problem playing any movie downloaded from the net. anything from 700mb to 1.6mb dvd rips, ive watched probably 60 odd and they've all played perfectly. never had to convert anything.

coreplayer is definetely the best thing to get supports pretty much everything

i only use the album player for converted hd content (using the converter someone made on this site) = that plays excellent as well, and looks better (i might be ight in thinking album uses hardward acceleration as well)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] gregorypleau:
Menu > Tools > Preferences > Select Page > Video

Change "Video Output" to GDI if the player is choppy/crappy. On my Telus (CDMA) Touch Pro 2 the QTv Display works fine but I know other HTC devices have required GDI instead.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ducvader:
The playback on this phone sucks big time! Not sure what it is .... coreplayer GDI does not work and Tcpmp with all kinds of tweaks settings does not play videos smooth at all. You can tell there are frame skipping in my phone. My wing plays videos better than this. GEEZ!!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lord_BlackAdder:
Are you saying the same video (same resolution and frame rate) play better in Wing? What resolution is the video? Video format?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ranney:
Thanks for your replay,

I've set it to GDI now with the playback quality to 'low'

Now i've played a short movie (6 min, pixar short movie) 640/480 resolution.

The sound will play perfect, but my screen has less than 1 frame/second. sometimes it will update the screen only every 2 seconds...

I've installed the display driver pack for the rhodium. could that be the problem?

Gr, Ranney
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ediXo:
Your setting has to be QTV and not GDI

ive watched over 30 episodes in the last weeks mostly Heroes all downloaded none converted. they've all played smoothly with rarely a frameskip.

just to did a test, specs of the video:

Heroes.S03E25.HDTV.XviD-LOL.avi
Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
File size : 350 MiB
Duration : 41mn 25s
Overall bit rate : 1 180 Kbps

coreplayer benchmark:

the only videos i convert are 720p or 1080p and those i play in htcAlbum or WMP
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] hoss_n2:
the slow frame rate is dueto the bad video drivers made by htc for the device the device cannot use its full performance to play videos so the only solution for this id to convert videos before playing videos it is hard but it is the only solution
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Rick#2:
Has anybody had any luck using TVersity to convert the files on the fly and stream from their PC? I'm really surprised that I can't find any info on this, since TVersity is a pretty awesome piece of software... whenever I'm trying to convert on the fly it just chops out CorePlayer/TCPMP.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ducvader:
320x240. Avi Xvid - :-/...... It's been two years since I've even read about HTC and their driver problems with qualcomm etc.... would have though they would get this kind of crap fixed and sorted out. Never really paid attention during that time since I was pretty content with the wing.

Duc
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lord_BlackAdder:
Sorry. Can't help here. I haven't tried Xvid videos. I did try out 640x480 MP4 (H.264) videos and it plays fine in WMP. These days I tends to encode all videos to MP4 using H.264 as video codec. It is a very efficient codec and is supported by all major companies like Adobe Flash, etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistol44:
I agree. I downloaded some 3rd party program a while ago and it was designed to convert videos specifically for the TP2. Works perfectly and can convert fairly quick to MP4 in all types of video/audio quality. I did all my movies and also use WMP and the picture quality and sound is flawless. No frameskipping or audio hitching. Pixar movies look especially amazing...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] manuv1615:
just bought and installed the latest version of CorePlayer and playback is perfect.

default setting uses QTv.

playback was poor with TCPMP
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] HeXeD:
All I have to say is...

1. Sign up for Orb.com

2. Run Kinoma Play

3. ???

4. Profit!

My Mogul used to handle Orb streaming through WMP pretty well.. but this touch pro 2... it completely smokes my Mogul. At home I have a server with a Quad core Q6600/8G of ram, and a 25/25mbps fiber internet connection. I can stream anything from lower bitrate 1080p movies, 720 movies and tv shows, Divx movies and tv shows, and my entire MP3 collection ripped @ 320kb/sec with absolutely no problem. Obviously if I am in a place with real bad reception I will have some troubles but I have not experienced that yet with my Mogul or my TP2 so far EXCEPT for my workplace and Home Depot. It does have a slight bit of motion blur but once you get everything set up in Kinoma play, you are ready to watch or listen to ANY media you have on your home computer. It's probably my favorite application on this phone because I have over 4TB of media that I cannot carry around on 16TB microsd cards, and this application allows me access to my movies and tv shows with no problem. I mean every now and then my connection bombs out for whatever reason but that is the nature of the beast. It also allows you to access your pictures and your TV Tuner card if you have one. Watching live tv on the TP2 through Orb is pretty friggin awesome. So regardless if HTC knowingly opted out of getting advanced drivers for the TP2 like the TP I could personally give a crap.. The only way I won't be able to access ALL of my media is if I am flying... my service even keeps up with me doing ~70mph on the interstate. I don't skip a beat with my TP2 plugged into my head unit streaming anything I want from home. Until I actually get a car pc, this thing is the next best thing.

MediaCoder

Hi, you can just use MediaCoder,for me, it's the best media converter in the world. If you have a new NVIDIA video card witch supports CUDA, your transcoding time will be much shorter !!!

Use Coreplayer..It's the best video appl ever made for windows mobile devices
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] neva dinova:
1. ive had good luck with videos encoded at 640x480 using windows media and while coreplayer is ok windows media is supposed to be graphics acceleratered.

2.the touch pro 2 screen is double the resolution of the wing so even though the video playback is "poor" the wing is not a fair comparison.

3.does anyone know what changing the bitrate does exactly?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Madcypher:
Changing the bitrate either raises or lowers the quality of the compression, the trade off is finding the best bitrate to offset quality and playback compatiblity.

The higher the bitrate, the more processor intensive it is so usually anything over 1.5Mb/s for the TP2 is going to be too taxing and will result in stutters and drop frames (choppy playback). It seems like anything between 800Kb/s and 1Mb/s is ideal.

My Tilt2 plays videos flawlessly. I use Handbrake to convert my 720 or 1080 videos. I use the Iphone/Ipod Touch preset. I then set the ratio to 480x800(what's with the 640?). It converts the video into h.264 MP4 video. I have the latest coreplayer 1.3.6. No problems. You can also try this. Use Media Player on your computer(I have a codec pack installed that plays all formats), if it WM can play it then your good to go. Just hit the Sync Tab. Hook up your phone then select the video to sync to your phone. WM will convert it to a file WM on your phone can play with no problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] moegdaog:
first of all like others have stated, i suggest u download the newest coreplayer 1.3.6, get it however u need to get it but get it. I enjoy watching on coreplayer then WMP, it has much more settings options, and i can tell that my downloaded movies that are in avi and mp4 or mpeg playback is superb on coreplayer. If u dont download alrdy converted movies and u wanna convert ur own dvds or blueray dvds...u have to get GOOD convertors,i suggest expensive pay ones and not cruddy freeware convertors...then get other people settings on xda for when the convert...u just need to do a lil searchin and ull find the right settings...and usually its 640x480 or w/e in high quality. even if ur converted movie is alot of mb's ...itll be worth it cuz the bigger the avi..the clearer it should be if u do the settings correctly...but make sure also u have AtomAng enhanced D3D driver installed onto ur device..cuz that mighta been ur only problem lol..u need that driver installed no matta what before u can watch anything...then u can get the d3d tester app to see if it is workin properly. i also suggest u download a 600-900mb avi movie from *somewhere*...then watch it on coreplayer to see if ur device just needed a better media player and d3d driver installed and it wasnt the way u were converting ur files in the first place.

I have had better luck playing videos in core player when my home interface is not Manila. I have used Titanium and SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 and my core player runs 640x480 divx videos at 23.5+ frames per second.
