i upgraded to 6.5 a few days ago - had the TP2 for a couple days than... now the device keeps opening the message-inbox after i unlock it (s2u2)! i can't remember that it did it with 6.1!

is there a tweak? am i doing something wrong? i just want to understand that lil thingy! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
You can't solve that. Its a "feature" Microsoft introduced in 6.5.

Memory management is more aggressive in 6.5. Outlook is fighting for priority on environments with little ram available. Sometimes it loads the inbox, sometimes just the bottom and the top bars. For me that's so annoying that i downgraded to 6.1. Anyway, it is also known that s2u2 causes this "feature" to show up more.

Good luck.

I wish i bought the HD2 because it has more ram and that problem does not occur.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lancelot54:
Mmmm.. i don't have this problem, when I unlock my phone, its show the home tab.. not the inbox ^o)

I'm not on WM6.5 but WM6.5.1. Perhaps should you try it.. ?

Inobx popup

this has been noted as a fix in this forum already. In task manager, set your email client to exclusive and this will stop it from popping up randomly, as you are granting it use of the required memory all the time, so the popup ceases.

I posted fix for this already earlier.

Procedure:

Open your email, and without closing it, open your settings menu and navigate to task manager. Press and hold to select the email client, (tmail.exe) and set it to exclusive and the problem will go away.

x3ROM is finally here!!! Another great ROM from the CCyrowski, Manup456, and MikeTaylor00 team. This is good to go for daily use. We now have a2sd and compcache working. All Google apps are working and we are using Eclair apps, not Donut apps with the exception of Google Maps. Please update that from the market to get navigation working. The ROM will be themed by Manup456 in the future. This is now a full release.

Big props to CCyrowski for getting this compiled from the source. It was a very difficult task. He compiled it for the dream instead of using generic which was much more complex. He also figured out how to get the Eclair Google apps working. He deserves most of the credit for this ROM.

WARNING

As always me, Manup456, or CCyrowski are NOT responsible for any damage done to your phone by flashing this ROM. You do so at your own risk.

Thank you JesusFreke, Haykuro, Cyanogen, Drizzy, Maxisma, Barak, TwistedUmbrella, KingKlick and all of the other devs and users who make XDA so fun, interesting, and worthwhile.

Fixes:

*Contacts and Gmail both sync

*A2SD and Compcache/Swap are working

*No force closes on Google apps

*Calendar and Contacts work

*5 screen launcher (another gift from Cyrowski)

Known issues:

*Contacts do sync but you cannot use auto-sync. Please turn off auto-sync after the initial sync happens or it will eat your battery.

*Bluetooth is not working... yet.

*Latitude is not working

*Camera does not work

[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Thanks everyone. There are definitely issues with this but most of the google apps work except for the calendar. You can download with the new market. The new google maps is pretty sick. Check that out. You will see force closes. We had to use google apps from "other" 2.0 based ROMs that split off from the 2.0 base a while ago so they aren't 100% compatible. As we get more dumps it will smooth out and the Beta status will go away.
[G1 Android Development] moshikko:

Force closes after flashing.. Mostly the calendar.. i'm going to remove that I don't need the calendar.. Market didn't load up initially but I finally got to accept the TOS but i still havent gotten to the main screen.. Seems to be a network thin because i also had problems signing in for the first time.. Had to reflash.. Waited for the icon both times..No camera although you can view pictures unlike the other 2.0 rom... Still testin..

Edit: Market is working..

Hi I am looking into getting a Hero. I was wondering what version of the Hero would work with the US 3G network on TMobile or AT&T. I have both services but would prefer to use this on TMobile. And how hard is it to get the phone working on the US carriers?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBNAquatics:
No 3G on both networks; EDGE only. Take a SIM, put it into the phone, voila.

Edit: I apologize for my bluntness. It's just this question has been asked ten thousand times too many :[

Not quite correct!

The Telus Hero (available in Canada) uses the correct bands for AT&T. You are still SOL on T-Mobile US though! ;)

Hi!

Sorry I didn't reply sooner I got distracted.

I have an agenda widget on the marketplace that was having problems displaying times (some days would show up early and all day events were starting/ending at their timezone offset rather than midnight).

I think I have fixed the problem however more testing can never hurt; go to http://www.roflharrison.com/agenda-widget and you can download a development version or scan the bar code to fetch it from the marketplace.

Thanks guys!

The phone now takes this information from whatever contact card you define as 'Me'.

Just go into the 'People' application. Choose the contact that you want to represent the owner information. Click 'Menu' and select 'Save to My Contact Card'.

The Owner name and other details will now be filled in using the information from that contact card.

This still might not help, if you used a different name for your application registrations than the one in the contact card, but it does save getting out the registry editor.

[HD2 General] soulstice:
Prefer something that is fast and easy to set? It seems even with coreplayer there are some codecs such as sorenson that still can't be handle by the player, would love to have a nice video encoder to do the job for the odd video that doesnt play on hd2.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] JohnQ:
im using TMPGENC EXPRESS 4.0 .

quality is very good

i have opened a video performance thread in LEO-LEO forum. please check. thanks.
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
I'm trying different codecs to see which would be better to use.

So far I'm using the mpeg4 standard (MPEG-4 AVC/AAC/MP4), and it works almost flawlessly when using a bit rate of about 3000kbps at 30 FPS (800x480). The videos taken using the Camera are also encoded with mpeg4.

Oh, and I'm using the HTC video player. CorePlayer's performance for the HD2 using either GDI or the raw buffer makes me cringe (and it somehow reduces colors, not sure why; compare HTC's promotional video played in the Album and in CorePlayer).

I'm encoding with MediaCoder, which is free but isn't exactly what I'd call user-friendly.

EDIT: And the performance is even better in Windows Media Player itself.

What the hell, everything's upside-down.

[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Sorry, do you mean that the performance in Windows Media Player is better than the performance in HTCAlbum?
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
I find it to be so (I had much less frame skips in WMP). Then again, it might depend on the video.
[HD2 General] hassan:

[HD2 General] mdalacu:

[HD2 General] Moandal:
I use Handbrake:

http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

The latest version works very well - choose the iphone/ipod touch preset and increase the resolution from the puny 480x320 that the iphone can handle. :)
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Seeing as this thread has come back to life anyway: the Video Encoding GUI does a very good job of converting for a Touch HD, TP2 or TD2, but it has a maximum bit-rate of 1000kb/s, which is really not high enough for an HD2. (On lesser phones if you make the bit-rate any higher you lose smoothness of playback, but on an HD2 you don't have to make that trade-off). MP4ForHD has the same problem. It'd be nice if the author of either of those could do an HD2 version. :)
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
So, I'm not sure we've actually come to any useful conclusions in this thread. As I have an HD2 arriving tomorrow, I'm quite keen to start converting some videos for it.

What I need is:

For an original video that is <= 800x480, the resolution should remain unchanged. For a video > 800x480 it should be downscaled to fit within 800x480 with an unchanged aspect ratio. (So, for example, a 512x384 capture should be output as 512x384; 640x360 should be output as 640x360; 1280x720 should be output as 800x450. No cropping under any circumstances.)

The output frame-rate should always be the same as that of the original clip.

The output audio should have the same volume and same sampling rate as the input audio. If the input audio is > 2 channels, it should be downmixed to stereo.

It needs to support container and codec options that are optimised for playback on the HD2 using either HTCAlbum or WMP. (Not sure yet which of these will be best, and am still researching encoding options in other threads!)

The output bitrate should be appropriately reduced for lower-resolution clips automatically.

All of the above needs to be something that is retained from session to session so that you can simply point it to the input file and click "Start" without having to reselect options each time.

It needs to be able to queue up multiple files and process them one at a time.

Good output quality and smoothness of playback is obviously important.

Something that does the encoding quickly rather than slowly is a plus (but I'm stuck using a creaky old 3GHz Pentium IV with on-board GPU at the moment, so am not expecting miracles).

It should be able to handle 720p .mkv files with ac3 audio, and also lower-resolution xvid files.

Freeware would be a big plus. :)

I've checked out a few of the suggested applications (not all) and most of them seem to lacking at least some of this. Things like Video Encoder GUI or MP4ForHD do an excellent job for lower-spec phones, but the bit-rates are capped at a level that is far too low for optimum performance on the HD2. Some of the more sophisticated applications have some surprising omissions, such as not being able to store settings between sessions, or not being able to specify 800x450 as an output resolution, or not being able to specify 800x480 as a maximum resolution and have it choose the actual output res depending on the input res, or having no option to keep the original frame-rate or the original audio sampling rate, or bit-rate.

There must surely be something out there that covers all this?
[HD2 General] Elcs:
Strangely enough, for me the HD settings on MP4ForHD for encoding did quite a good job of 300 and A Scanner Darkly. Smooth playback and an acceptable quality for a DVD rip. The only issue I faced was a bit of an audio sync issue with 300. The output sizes were approximately 600-700mb

If there could be better output or an easy way to ensure the audio syncs with the video properly, the HD2 would be golden. (I am stuck on a 3 year old laptop which has had some minor processor/hdd/ram upgrade and took 4 hours to encode a DVD for my HD2.
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Maybe going further above bitrate wise is just a waste of space and that 2 pass encoding at such bitrates from both converters just means optimal output.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
That is a perfectly valid opinion, but (having done some viewing of the output on a PC screen) it is not one that I happen to share. :) (Not for downscaled hi-def material, anyway).
[HD2 General] seed_al:
What's with MediaCoder? Have you tried this?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
I glanced at it. Having spent 10 minutes trying and failing to get it to produce 800x450 output, I gave up. :o Maybe I should have another go....
[HD2 General] webjunky:
i use that one aswell :)
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
I have tested, and for sure that downscaling HD media to a 800x480 screen requires more than 1000kbps to bring out the details.
[HD2 General] thehawkCB:
Are you saying I can install new codecs and be able to record video with them? At the moment I use MPEG at 640x480...I can get better resolution?
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Why do you people even bother to encode? Files work great for me in CorePlayer... if you like to encode video files for fun you should have bought an iPhone.

Because HD files down res-ed to 800x480 look stunning compared to crappy SD videos.

[HD2 General] cMMY69:
I find that the GUI fails to sync audio in all videos in all videos I've thrown at it, on all settings I've tried. I gave up on it because I ws trying to copy some movies for a long trip. I'm sure I remember other people complaining about audi sync but if its just a configuration problem that I can sort myslef then I'll definately give it another try.
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Why? If you have SD files that are properly encoded at the start it shouldn't look so crappy.
[HD2 General] :
If original file is DVD format, then I'll encode to 800x480. If files are less than 800x480, I'll just play it directly with HD2 (unless the clients fail to play). For encoder, WinAVI 8.0 is my choice. The fastest encoder so far (is it...?)
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Because simply put, SD files do not come in 800x480. Anything more than that is simply some non-standard encode. If you could, try to find a dvd/dvdrip that has 800x480. Converting any dvd will ensure that you will be upscaling videos around 7**x*** to play on a 800x480 screen. The other way (if you have the HD media) is to downscale 1280x*** or even 1920x*** to play on the 800x480 screen. There is a visible difference, but that depends on who you ask. Of course, for the lazy (or those who do not have the HD media), SD files will do just fine....you most probably don't even have to take the time to encode it....with Coreplayer and TCPMP out there.

If you cannot understand that logic, no matter what I say, nothing will convince you.
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Jeez, try and be a little more condescending...

I know if you have an 720 or 1080 file you would need to convert it, but should I be converting my SD files as well? I know 800x480 isn't a standard resolution, despite what you may think I'm not an idiot.

As far as I know SD is about 480 pixels top to bottom, so why should I be converting them to play on a 800x480 screen? Yes, I know converting them will save me some space... but if I'm not short on storage, is there such a huge gain in quality to be had to get me to sit there encoding video file after video file like it's 2003?

CorePlayer handles DivX and XviD files and in standard definition format the resolution will not be that far off from the HD2's native 800x480. If I'm missing something here then please try and put it into simplified terms so an idiot like me will understand, don't explain it in your own way and then tell me I will never understand because you failed to make me.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Ah....no one is saying anything about converting SD files. And if you bothered to read OP, he's talking about the odd format that WON'T play in Coreplayer or WMP or HTC Album. And I'm talking about converting HD files. That's ALL.

SD is maxed out at 7**x5**....so 480p means you still have the left/right left empty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-definition_television

It may be about TV resolutions, but it's applicable to DVD as well.

If you have no intention of converting HD videos, then you shouldn't even be questioning why others have to do conversion. Understand?

And if you are interested in HD conversion, here's a site that does give an idea why it's preferred to convert from HD media instead of just sticking to good old dvdrips.
