[Hero CDMA General] geoff2005:
i have not rooted, pure stock phone. only app i think runs in background is email and loopt

I notice the lag from everything to sense UI to the clock taking 2-3 secs to update to my contacts scrolling, to text message lag, to calling even lags. like anything and everything can lag.
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
It all has to do with this bug in Android 1.5:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3453

I'm running AOSP 1.6 on my Hero right now and it is ridiculously fast.

So yes, I think that the 2.1 update (which hopefully will come out soon) is going to fix these issues for us.
[Hero CDMA General] bobdude5:
on your location settings turn off "network location" then reboot..your lag will be gone...and make sure you have a task manager installed too and end your apps so they take over your processor
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
Task managers are a waste of time.
[Hero CDMA General] thef0x:
I agree with this statement.
[Hero CDMA General] omeganot:
This is very true. I was running the 2.1 build from here the last few days (thought I had to revert due to missing some texts and voicemail) and it's much speedier. It uses the HTC keyboard, but it's much faster in its response, almost instantaneous. The location bug really does suck up a lot of CPU time.

Also, maybe its just me, but I think it's important to remember the kind of device we're using, the hardware involved, and what you're asking it to do. It's not like you're walking around with a quad core CPU and 4GB of RAM in your pocket, but it seems a lot of people think it should respond as if that's what it has. It's a phone, yes, and it should be able to do phone stuff quickly if possible, but look at all it can and is doing. If you need absolute speed, get a dumb phone that can't browse the web, play games, or do just about anything. It'll run just fine.
[Hero CDMA General] apollooff320:
handcent never made my phone lag. The only thing that made my phone lag was HTC's battery widget. Damn thing slowed my phone down so I uninstalled it and phone is running back fast again. I still use task manager because I do notice once to many apps are open it lags. Don't care what anyone says it happens on my phone. I do have a lot of applications on ignore though.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Try disabling Location services.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
I used to wholeheartedly disagree with this statement, until I read a kickass article explaining how Android actively manages memory.

Now, I also agree with this statement 100%. I don't even use my paid task manager app anymore. :/

Wil it work (unlocked) at full 3G on another 3G network? For example, on T-Mobile? Are there any other possible complications?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TechnoHippie:
And unlocked Fuze will work on the T-Mobile network - but the internet will only work at the slower speeds.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tinpanalley:
Really? Wow, that's interesting. Do you (or anyone else) happen to know why that happens? Is it the radio? And is there any work around for that?

please post any advice or direction to help!! thanks!

[HD2 General] Moandal:
The attached very short video clip plays perfectly in sync (watch the drumsticks!) on my PC and on my wife's Touch HD, but is not in sync on my HD2 using the HTC video player.

The problem must therefore lie not with the video encoding, but with the HD2.

Please tell me if it is in sync or not on your HD2, and what ROM you are using so that I'll know if a ROM update might fix it. I'm using the stock 1.43 Vodafone UK ROM with all 4 hotfixes applied.

I really would appreciate any help in solving this issue since it's happening with nearly all my .mp4 videos on the HD2. The problem does not occur with .wmv files but I'd rather use .mp4 if I can.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] 4tune:
Tested. Indeed it is a touch out of sync, playing with wmp.
[HD2 General] chris_ah1:
deffo out of sync with vlc. really quite unnerving.
[HD2 General] derScheich:
With CorePlayer out of sync, too.
[HD2 General] Moandal:
Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've just flashed from stock Vodafone 1.43 ROM to Miri's WM65_21889_Sense25_V2.0 ROM (highly recommended), which is based on the 1.61 ROM and it's still out of sync. I've therefore sent a support request to HTC who are going to test it out on various devices and get back to my by the end of the week.

I'll let you know what they say. I've told them it's affecting other people too, so hopefully they won't just suggest a hard reset.
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
Confirmed: sound and video out of synch in HTCAlbum, WMP and CorePlayer. I'm running the t-mobile version of 1.43 with camera hotfix.
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Is this video recorded via the phone or something else?

There have been cases where videos are encoded improperly, they play fine on PCs, but go OOS on hardware based players....several scene dvdrips have been subjected to such an error before.
[HD2 General] Moandal:
Ripped from DVD using SPB Mobile DVD, and then converted to .mp4 using Handbrake. This plays fine on the Touch HD, so there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't play fine on the HD2. It's not an exception either - almost all my .mp4 videos are very slightly out of sync. Most of the time you can't tell - you need something like the drumsticks to know for sure if it's in sync or not.

Hopefully I'll get an update tomorrow from HTC support, but I'm not holding my breath for a fix.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
This needs sorting out, i've been using winmenc to compensate for the syn issue but this morning i played Harry Brown on it and it is still out of sync. Maybe this rip works ok without the sync fix, will have to see tonight :mad:
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
sync is fine on my Touch HD, very odd it doesnt play properly on the HD2
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
HTC need to take note of this, i'm surprised that more members haven't reported this complaint. There are 3 threads about it, i would expect an issue like this to have many many pages :confused:
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
Yep, in sync on pc mashed up on hd2. I'm going to email HTC now with all this info, i urge everyone else does also
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I noticed this using DivX a month or two ago, I stopped using video files after that. But I installed TCPMP last night and played The Hurt Locker on it, the audio seems to be more or less in sync, not perfect but certainly not the one or two seconds out of sync that is was on the DivX Player.

I have had audio and video sync issues on all my HTC devices, I just assumed it was due to the lack of processing power. But the HD2, that shouldn't struggle surely? :(
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
ofcourse not, my n96 played mp4's flawlessy, none of this syn issues or juddering. I can't quite get my nut round why it is struggling so much

I also can't understand people who say they can play divx through coreplayer flawlessy either, it drops frames like a mother F$%^&*

I really have moaned my nuts off about this so apologies to members who keep reading me moaning about it hahah!
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I am sure if I tinkered with the audio/video sync in TCPMP I could get it in sync, but it is bloody annoying. I might actually have a play now, see if I can actually get it perfectly in sync.

*Edit* Seems to work just fine without doing anything, on Windows Media Player and TCPMP.

I used a clip of The Hurt Locker and it seems to work just fine, as does the whole film.

The file I used.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/thzqjnmiyug/Movie.wmv
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
that's not an issue. It's easy to get into sync in coreplayer (and probably TCPMP) the problem with those players is that they judder/drop frames so to me it is not usable no matter what settings you use.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I edited my last post, maybe it's just a Coreplayer/DivX player issue? :confused:
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
i'll download that clip and try it. What converter did you use to get wmv?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Windows Movie Maker, just spliced and saved. :)
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
what was the original file extension, avi? dvdrip?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
.AVI converted to .WMV, sorry I thought it was .WMV originally.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
can that software convert mkv?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Naw just .WMV. I don't know of any converters that can convert to .MKV, none of mine can anyways.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
not to worry. I use winmenc with a audio delay on it so it plays fine with mp4 on the hd2.

I'm now a bit confused though as i converted a mkv with the audio delay and it threw it well out on the hd2.

Just converted it without the delay and it's in sync.

So the conclusion is at the moment that when converting mkv to mp4 i dont need the audio delay. Or perhaps it's files with ac3 audio that dont need it. I'm not sure but something is making this file play ok and all my other avi's need the sync adjustment. It's driving me nuts :mad:
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
i actualy meant can it convert mkv TO wmv?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I don't have any MP4 files really all of mine are .WMV and .AVI, and they seem to be working fine tonight, but I had a little delay last night. :rolleyes:

God knows what's going on.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
Indeed, if I play that clip it's not in sync, but it's very little off, and while noticeable on that kind of stuff it wouldn't be on most "common" videos... Frankly if I hadn't known and hadn't been hammered by you all that it was bad I probably wouldn't even have noticed.

So, I don't care much, and think some of you should be less picky :D

I favour image quality, which is great thanks to the HD2's screen and high bitrate support, to a couple of ms out of sync. And I consider myself picky too, as I make and edit professional video at times...
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
hmmm, unfortunatley i have an extreme eye for detail and perfection :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I am not too sure as I don't have.any, I could only hazard a guess. And I dare say it probably could.
[HD2 General] rikardo1979:
In sync

Hi guys,

for me its look in sync.Not 100% sure cos its to short.I play it in TCPMP player.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I emailed HTC last night and they responded with this today:

Dear Customer, Please ensure that your device is updated with the latest ROM version. Please also be advised that we have no affiliation with xda-developers, and highly recommend against using any of the software available on this site. The information provided therein is also not viable from our point of view. If other users are experiencing these issues, then they need to raise the issue directly with us, so that we may investigate through official channels. Kind Regards, Anthony M HTC

I have responded to the email and only linked this thread in my email to them as evidence i was not the only customer with the problem. Seems they are not fans of this forum! but please:

IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM THEN CONTACT HTC HERE:

http://www.htc.com/www/CS_Mail.aspx
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Super duper, I am still on a stock 1.43 ROM, and when I first tried out films on my HD2 I had no custom mods on my phone at all, so it's nothing to do with software I have downloaded from here.

I'll fire off an e-mail to them to let them know also, thanks for the link Jon. :)
[HD2 General] Moandal:
HTC's initial response to me when I contacted them was to say they would investigate it, and get back to me. Their subsequent response was as follows:

"Hi Allan, This has been tested using your file as an example here and we have passed the information to developers fortesting and investigation for possible resolution. Please monitor the support pages for further updates. Best REgards Mike"

So they really shouldn't be telling anyone they're not aware of this issue. If they try to deny it, you can quote ticket number 10GBCW02ENA001052 to them.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I think that's amazing progress, I hope they manage to sort something out for us HD2 users. :D
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
ive told them about that, nice one
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
The latest reply re this:

Dear Customer,

Having looked into this and the reply you have quoted, we can confirm that this issue is still under investigation. In the interim, please ensure that your device is updated with all of the latest official software for you device, and please regularly check the support section of our website for more information as and when it becomes available.

Kind Regards,

Anthony M

HTC
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I got a reply yesterday -

'Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email. The first step in troubleshooting any issue such as this is to ensure that you upgrade the software on your phone to the latest version available from O2 Support. Please contact O2 Support, who will be able to advise you of a specific download location for this software.

Kind Regards,

Anthony M

HTC.'

I e-mailed O2UK and they say the latest ROM is 1.43, so I fired another e-mail off to HTC to ask why we in the UK are so far behind on ROM updates, as O2UK didn't have any answers for me.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
that's all very well them saying that to you but if you have a branded phone you are buggered.

Anyway the problem is still on 1.66 so it wont make a difference, repoly back with the following ticket numbers so they can link the complaints:

10GBCW02ENA001052 and 10GBCW12ENA000301
[HD2 General] Moandal:
My reply from HTC was back on 25th Jan, so they've had 2 months to investigate and fix this so far.

Someone else with an Acer NeoTouch had this problem and wondered if it was a Snapdragon chipset thing. (Could be, since it's not an issue on the HD). I wonder if he can prove or disprove that theory?
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
any update on this issue?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
I hit a brick wall with both HTC and O2 over the issue, HTC stopped communicating and O2 are just, well, useless.
[HD2 General] HTC_Junglist:
lol ok, hook me up & the hundreds of others with the same issue up with a "repaired" handset.

I think it's HTC's reputation & software that needs repairing, not the phone...
[HD2 General] curiousGeorge:
The entire device seems to suffer from this problem on multiple video types. I highly doubt any format is free from the audio delay, including some games. If your wmvs or such don't display the delay, it's probably more due to wmv introducing its own delay or some such silly workaround.

My sig also has another thread on the issue. From the looks of things it could very well be a snapdragon issue.
[HD2 General] jonbaker76:
I REALLY WISH A MOD WOULD MERGE THE OTHER 2 THREADS RUNNING ABOUT THIS SO WE CAN ALL MONITOR THE ONGOING SITUATION, PLEASE. Yes i was shouting :D

other thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6087471 and this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=617163 all cover the exact same issue.

[Android Software Development] bradycl_84043:
I've been reading about the text-to-speech entry method for the Nexus One. Speech recognition is a great idea, but very difficult to accomplish.

I've always steered clear of devices without a physical keyboard, which is why (being on T-mobile) I have stuck thus far with my trusty G1.

However, this feature on the Nexus One has gotten me thinking about what it would take to get me to go with a device that does not have a physical keyboard, and I think I know what would do it.

I'd like a true "voice keyboard". I don't want the device to try to figure out whether I'm saying there, their or they're, I'd like it to let me spell, just as I would with the keyboard, with my voice.

Option A would still be prone to errors but still be much more accurate than full speech recognition, and would just allow me to try to spell what I am saying--I would simply say the letters "H-E-L-L-O-Space-W-O-R-L-D-Period" out loud.

Option B would require some memorization, but would allow for nearly perfect accuracy, by spelling your entry with the phonetic alphabet. The above would be spoken as "Hotel-Echo-Lima-Lima-Oscar-Space-Whiskey-Oscar-Romeo-Lima-Delta-Period".

I'd presume that the system would by default attempt to auto-capitalize as it does now, "Shift", "Shiftlock" and "Unshift" could be used as commands as well.

Any thoughts? Has it already been done? I'd be awfully close to putting a Nexus One on my belt if I could enter text this way.
[Android Software Development] hybridb:
That's an interesting idea. The nexus one does that for punctuation marks, if you say "question mark" the output is "?" instead of spelling out the words 'question mark'.

Though I still see 'option a' being prone to errors with letters that sound alike, such as "B/D/E/...". As for option b i personally think it would just be too time consuming to write a couple of sentences and it would probably be much faster to just type it on a virtual keyboard (including all the time lost correcting mis-touches). But anyway it would be nice if a 3rd party vk implemented the idea..
[Android Software Development] yash08:
Hello,

I have a zip file which contains boot.img, hboot.nb0, radio.img, recovery.img, splash1.nb0, system.img and userdata.img.

Also there is a text file called android-info with the following content:

It is a tattoo rom.

My question is, if I flash hboot.nb0 to my phone and my phone's cid is not in the above list, will it kill my phone?

Also, how do I get the cid of my tattoo knowing that I dont have root access?

Thank you
[Nexus One General] nspbass:
I just spoke to a TMo representative and I got excellent news. When purchasing the Nexus One, it immediately comes with the Even More Plan, as we all know. HOWEVER, once you get the phone and activate it, TMo can then move you to a different plan.

For instance: I would move from the Individual Even More, etc. plan to an Even More for Families plan that will cost the same as my current plan. The single plan option is just a way of streamlining the transaction for Google. TMo can work with you once you're established. The one catch is that if you have a MyFaves or anything older than the current Even More plans, you will have to move to an Even More plan.

I'm still not happy with Google, but TMo is working with the customers to make life easier. Hope this helps!

[Nexus One General] JHaste:
wait, i just ordered mine for full price because i am part of my parents family plan...

now you are saying that i could setup the new contract and get the phone for 180 and then just get moved BACK onto my parents family plan? (obviously after i got off their family plan and did my own thing)

your explanation was a little vague, if you could explain in detail what your circumstances were and what exactly you did (to get moved)....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] triteata:
I wonder if it is possible to program any of my hardware keys to "next track" so that when I want to change my song, to be able to do it without removing my gloves/taking the phone out of the pocket. Is it? :confused:

Use the headphones htc supply you with, the track skipper buttons on there work fine when locked ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] triteata:
Yep, I'm well aware of that. But the main problem is that the sound is awful listening with them, and that sometimes when I need to change the track the phone is connected with 2 speakers. Isn't there anything else? :/

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Sounds like the same bug as MMS with Wifi turned on. No known fix that I can find from a search. Is it that big of a deal? Emails are small. I never use the Wifi on mine.

Just a thought, if you need it you need it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d12bn:
well

Now that you mention it I have noticed the MMS problem as well. Is it a big deal, no but still wish I would not have to deal with it. But if there is no fix at this time I can stop trying to make it work.
