[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ThunderDick:
I'm looking for a way, possibly free, to fully backup my phone.

I already use PIM Backup to save my contacs, Messages, and so on (but this is done on a daily basis with ActiveSync too, so this is not critical).

Much more critical is to backup eMail accounts settings (username, password, server addresses, ports, ssl, and so on).

Due to misterious reason (main suspect is Resco Audio Recorder, from now on disinstalled) I lost my account settings twice, and this is really annoying, as I use my phone to check many eMail account regularly so when this kind of crash happens, I have to re-type every single setting...

So, if a way exists to backup account settings, this could be enough. But, as my phone is currently perfectly configured and working, I would like to make a "snapshot" of the phone on the storage card, si I can later fully restore it.

I use a Shifu WM6.5 Rom.

Thanks in advance

Bye

Alberto

Hi,

My imate 6150 bricked on a hard reset,

1) How do I reflash it from a SD card

2) Where do I get the ROM image from

Thanks
[HD2 General] saquib:
Had a HD a while ago, and now moved onto a HD2 (with Iphone and HTC Hero in between!). What I would really like is the ability to add a custom tab to the list of current HTC Sense tabs. The custom tab would allow standard today items to be displayed, e.g. spb today plugins or new "widgets" similar to current tabs could be created.

I'm sure it would also make sense for HTC to publish a API to allow custom tabs to be written.

In 2 weeks I've tried it all. 8 converters to be exact. The best one out there worth anyones time is a converter call AVS Video Converter 6.3(not free but reall worth it trust me). It has it all! It's pretty quick compare to the rest, but most importantly pumps out excellent video quality with smooth framerate. There's a few that's faster but most of them has bad famerates, bad quality, or both. Yes bad framerate playing on my super computer. The best settings that work for my TP2 is the following: M4V ipod h264 at 415 bitrate, 24fps, 640X384. Plays smooth looks great can't ask for more!

Converters I Tried: Handbrake 9.3 too slow

Handbrake 9.4 got sound no video?

Iwisoft choppy framerate looks very promising waiting for a newer version

Ultra mobile 3gp not enough settings file comes out to big and to slow

Any Video Converter when it works it very good, freezes to often during conversions plus to slow.

And a few others I don't remember.

Thanks hope I can help.

did you try the free encoder specifically for our phone?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

it works well for me, very simple, just pick 800x480 and go. try that and let me know if you still think AVS is way better, then i'll give it a shot :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] EGOvoruhk:
Handbrake 0.9.4 works fine. You just need to use "MPEG-4 (FFmpeg)" and not "H.264 (x264)" as the phone does't natively support X264
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] solsearch:
Personally I like mediacoder.

The phone DOES support x264. My current settings on MediaCoder (free by the way) are x264 baseline profile, level 4.1 using 1183kbps and 800x448 resolution. The audio is AAC mpeg4 at 128kbps. I haven't had a chance to find the perfect settings but at those settings it provides me with great looking video and only very occasional stutter (the stutter happens in the same place and it isn't necessarily a high action sequence so I am not sure as to the cause, but in a nearly 5 minute video it stutters once, maybe twice, so it's not that bad).

I don't like the encoder specifically made for our phones because it doesn't offer a high enough bitrate and the end result is a blurry picture if you have higher resolutions and not the neat defined lines one wants with higher res. Also I had tried Super video encoder which I generally like but the downside to it is that at least with me it seems to treat the bitrate chosen as average, resulting in various moments when the phone can't handle it while media coder you can choose between average or constant. Choosing constant means your phone can handle it always or ast least should be able to.

Handbrake didn't work for me for some strange reason. It worked, but barely used my CPU. It would use 1% at most which means it was processing at .1fps and projected the video to be done in 3 or 4 days. I might give it a go sometime. I think I tried AVS but didn't like it because it wouldn't let me set the profile or level for h.264 (there was something about partition which might have been the level setting but it wasn't as precise nor was I sure that that was what it was) and I couldn't find where to choose between baseline, main, and high profile. The best way to get good video on a specific device with limited horsepower is to have each of your settings at the best level. Which is why programs which offer you that level of control are the best ones in these cases.

Though one thing I dislike about MediaCoder always opens up a page. When I chose for it not to do it anymore it still does it. Maybe that option will work for someone else.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dmb60614:
i often end up with audio sync issues when i use that. files usually play fine on my computer but are out of sync when played on the device.

i've probably tried around 10 different encoders. so far, for me, the best is dvd catalyst free version. i'm always looking for something free. there is a paid version for $10 with more options. looks good with divx player. doesnt look as good with coreplayer 1.3 for some reason.

i'll probably try playing around with the other encoders again. the files usually play fine on my computer but i almost always end up with the audio out of sync when played on my phone. really frustrating. my settings are probably wrong somewhere.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] mm1453:
i use divx converter and use divx mobile to play on my phone.. works good enough for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] hoot1975:
I use Mp4forHD, it seems slow but the end result is perfect to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shawndh:
I ended up buying DVD Catalyst 3 for $9.99 USD. It takes a while to encode but little to no settings are involved. Very easy, and it even has your device in a drop down menu to ensure that it will play properly on your device. I was able to convert the new Star Trek DVD and playback video quality is very good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pistou:
Could you post your preset XML file? I've been playing around with MediaCoder for a few days now and can't get a stutter free result above 480x270.

Also, by encoding at 800 pixels wide, aren't you distorting the original, which is presumably 720 pixels wide?

videora htc touch pro2 converter

i use the converter found on this site http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/htc-touch-pro2/ its made specifically for the touch pro 2 i have had great video results with this. i also use their other customized converters for my ps3 and my psp.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Star-Lite:
If you want a nice converter with a ****load of options that handles anything you throw at it, try "Super" (yeah, the name sucks and their site is a horrible nightmare to navigate, but it's a great and free piece of software)

Badaboom

Recently I have been using Badaboom. It uses the Nvidia Cuda software on your graphics card. when converting Year One "1 hour and 40 min", took 31 minutes to convert.

Pros:

1) VERY fast

2) no glitching in the movie

3) tells you how big the file will be before you convert it

4) tells you the file size as your adjusting the settings

5) accepts dvds, video_ts folders, and video files

6) smooth black interface with control, but without clutter

Cons:

1) not freeware

2) not effective unless you use a Nvidia card with Cuda

3) only outputs to .mp4 files "coreplayer struggles with, but wmp plays flawlessly"

4) feels like there should be more...but there isn't

if you want the settings/ TP2 picture I used for my setup, send me a PM

Thanks for this nice app link!!!! Converting music videos and loving it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] chetqwerty:
+1 on that! CorePlayer plays these with amazing clarity. Also the most easily found and downloadable (ehmm) so never any converting required! But seriously even easier to actually torrent the movie even if you own it. These guys are pros at finding the best settings to produce the best quality at around 650 to 800 mb for your average movie. I have like ten of them on my 16gb card.

On the HTC TP2 the latest CorePlayer must be used for no lag and very little cpu usage. Great mp3 player too.

You sure that that *ever* worked? I think I tried something like that once and got the same result as you. And this would have been an older version of android, probably 1.0 or 1.1.

No dice, the video is still black. Which rom / device have you used this with? If CM, did you merge in the HTC recovery?

Fyi I've tried videos encoded and sucessfully played in earlier roms, still black...so either something broke in the decoder chip driver, the chip itself is kaput or there's a setting somewhere causing this.

I wouldn't go near a CM-mod. Too slow/unstable/unreliable/broken. Try a stock ADP1 image. That line I gave you will *definitely* give you a compatible video.

Short vid showing a few visual differences here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9-1OQE53d4&feature=player_embedded#

Basically I guess the idea was to make it more finger friendly, and less stylus dependant, like other touch devices. So bigger areas to touch onscreen etc.

Also there are plenty of core pieces of software like IE6 upgraded in 6.5. It opens up more virtual memory to be used by apps etc.

At the end of the day, there are only so many tweaks that can be done in software to increase battery life. The best thing to do in my opinion is just to buy a higher rated battery for longer device usage before needing a recharge.

How is the internet browsing on the Leo in comparison to the Diamond 2 or Touch Pro 2?

What's the speed like? Having problems with small links on the capacitive touchscreen? Typing speed vs. Touch Pro 2?

have been using HD2 with wifi. speed is amazing. small links are annoying. all in all internet browsing on HD2 is far superior.
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Second that. Although small links can be a bit difficult, it all about getting used to the capacitive screen used as we have been to resistive screens. Try to go back after FI two weeks Leo to a TP2 and you'll notice the huge difference between these screens. Same accounts for typing.

<Image ID="SliderIcon" Width="200" Height="200" Visible="True" Opacity="1.0" ScalingAlgorithm = "TriLinear" />

The screen just stay back or sometime I can see some picture from the screen without backlight, but nothing work for me, unless I pulled out battery and reboot phone back. After new reboot, it will go back to same situation again after a long sleep.

Not sure if this is the same problem or not?

I replaced the MB in my G1 and now it fails to wake the screen up - SOMETIMES. No real rhyme or reason to it that I have found. I suspect that it's related to the MB and not any specific ROM. On reboot, sometimes I get the G1 logo for a few seconds, and then it goes black until reaching the boot screen. Other times it will go white on reboot, or white with black stripes. Sometimes, I can get it to wake up by pressing power then home several times, but that hasn't worked in a few days.
