[Desire General] Meaple:
I can watch films another way for free :P

Not mentioning anything though
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
On the one side, there's Legend with sexy shell, a playboy model if you will.

On the other side, Desire with sexy internal (no pun intended), a kinda bland librarian but once she takes off her geek glasses OH MY GOD :D Like.

I think you get my drift.

The reason why I'm posting this is, I just can't decide which one I should get, both are really good in their own ways, and buying both is not an option.

Could you guys lemme know pros and cons about both of them?

And yes, I'm gravitating toward Desire, but every single time I glance at Legend, it's just... wow you know? There's just something about me and things made out of metals it seems...

So... HELP!
[Desire General] mhewitson:
Go into a Vodafone store and play with them both, read both the forums (as you probably have been) and make up your own mind based on that.
[Desire General] The Lurking Droid:
Well I haven't had any chance playing around with Desire yet, but I have, on Legend! and for some very odd reason, it felt laggier than Hero. which I'm still quite baffled about.
[HD2 General] rjnsaravanan:
Recently purchased a HD2 and was trying to play you tube videos with the factory installed youtube app but it doesnot work,

Tried opening youtube webpage in opera/IE and tried palying the videos but of no use. Could some one tell me hoe to play you tube videos
[HD2 General] mideel:
why the installed youtube-app didnt work for you? it works flawlessy here, no matter if I connect via UMTS / HSDPA or simply EDGE..

You cant play youtube-videos via a browser because there is no flash-plugin installed within them.

but if you really want to play them via opera, just install opera 10 mobile and activate the flash-plugin in the settings.
[HD2 General] rjnsaravanan:
i have a 3g connection & even trie with the wi-fi connection in both cases it fails
[HD2 General] mideel:
but all other services like mail, weather and so on are working?

what kind of error-message do you get there?

try a hardreset?
[Desire General] LaChavvy:
Hi there,

I'm new to these forums and am really interesting in the HTC Desire. Being a user of Sony Walkman phones for the last 4 years music playback is a huge part of my phone usage.

I'm wondering as a device without an equaliser how does this rate compared to other phones for music playback? Is it possible to download third party music playback software?

Otherwise this phone looks perfect, possibly too good to be true at £15 a month on t-mobile!
[Desire General] NZtechfreak:
Hi, check the GSMarena review - sound quality is top notch! (so why would you want to ruin good sound fidelity with an EQ?).

Problems with non-unicode tagging leads to things being seen as "Unknown Genre" by the music player, which is a significant bummer for some (like me).

Theres plenty of third party software, some with EQs.
[Desire General] micks_address:
same boat here.. i have been a Sony walkman user for the last 10 years and sound quality was/is top of my agenda..

the Desire is pretty good i'd have to say.. ok doesnt sound as good as my Sony X series walkman but its unlikely to as thats a dedicated audio/video device.. the nice thing about android is that there's a choice of apps you can use for music playback.. the stock one is fine but a bit boring.. i downloaded 'cubed' last night and its got a pretty neat interface..

i would like an equaliser to be able to add treble/bass etc.. and i've seen it in some players.. but the interfaces are a bit iffy at the moment.. hopefully in time someone will create an all singing all dancing music player..

oh and just keep an eye on the the low volume threads here.. some people have gotten phones that the volume is very low on but mine (unlocked unbranded from carphone warehouse) is plenty loud..

Cheers,

Mick
[Desire General] LaChavvy:
Cheers for the feedback I'm glad the audio is pretty decent! The idea of using a standard headphone jack is a nice change to the SE phones.

Another question is can you change song without having to whap it out? It may sound strange but when I'm walking to say University, I can currently just hit the rocker switch on the side of the phone to change track - is that the case with the Desire?

Or do I have to bring it out, unlock it, and then change track, relock it, then tidy it away? Hope not!
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
If you use the bundled HTC headphones, then no. They come with media controls on the wire.

But if you use your own headphones, then yes. You'll have to take the device out, press the standby button to wake the device and skip to the track you want. You don't have to unlock and jump into the music application. There are music controls at the lock screen for back, play/pause, and forward.
[Desire General] LaChavvy:
Ah of course I forgot about those headphones. Thanks!

Now I just have to wait until January :(
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Haha, January?! Why the wait? Surely by that time, there would be something else available that's more

desirable

...:D
[Desire General] NZtechfreak:
You can control tracks/play/pause from the lockscreen.
[Desire General] DoubleHappiness:
I have a question to users of the Desire: when you put videos on the device and upload them to the memory card, can you arrange them into a playlist on the device itself to be able to play a series of music videos, without having to select each one, and also to be able to skip tracks, fast forward and shuffle???

Can the built-in music player play a video playlist?

If not, can the video player play a playlist with videos separately from music (and even just play the audio file if the screen is shut off)?

If not still, is there any application - video player - on Android Market that supports video playlists and shuffle, skip and fast forward?

I would not dream of being able to change the playback speed tho, just to be able to play vids right. I'd appreciate any your insights
[Desire General] david_inuk:
Meridian is a great music/video player!

[Desire General] TurkzZ:
the speaker isnt so good, though :(
[Desire General] barryfell:
I'm finding the music via earphones to be a little low. Are there any players with EQ so I could boost it up a bit?

I know people on UK T-Mobile ROM's had an issue with low music volume but I don't think that's the same issue with mine as i'm using the generic ROM.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jmz:
Since I am leaving the TP2 world. I figured I would post my kitchen and installer app. There aren’t too many notes to take on this. The app and zip for Android is in the EXT folder. The android.zip file must be left in the same structure if you update anything in it. Just load the save file and hit cook. Should be good. Link for updated complete packages can be found here.

Hi guys, I am a newborn newbie here, maybe just a split second ago.

I have an Xperia X1 and I downloaded Energy.XPERIA.23559.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.Apr.17 ROM just this morning. I read NRGZ28's clue on Twitter but still cannot crack his password after 5 hours of midnight trial, so any kind soul's help will be much aprreciated. Big thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA General] th350urc3:
Any developers have any plans for porting the AOSP base android rom to the new Evo 4G? Hope so. Darchroid rom is the ****z!!!! :D
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Ha Ha!! Wow.
[Hero CDMA General] clamknuckle:
It's a bit early considering no one has one and no one is sure if they will even be able to get root.

I'm sure people will get root, but it's never a 100% thing.

hi...

hd2 owner with stock rom with additional 3d chainfire drivers, fps displayed are about 55 in all conditions

just a question... i notice a little lag between finger movement and display scrolling... is there a way to have the screen "locked" to the finger without delay?

i think this is one of the point that make the touch feeling different between iphone and wm devices
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
Thank you for first report :-).

To be honest, I see the lag as well (however, it is really short), and I have no idea what causes that. All the position changes are done immediately, and with FPS>30 there should not be lag bigger than 35 milliseconds (18ms in your case). I am not sure if such a little delay can be so notable :-(.

Don't worry, I will do my best to hunt every redundant millisecond, but I am not sure if anybody can reach iPhone response on WM device. In fact, I believe that WM are so laggy because of multitasking (the app needs to pass CPU time to other apps dozens of times every second; it cannot really allow any app to flow smoothly even when the overall performance is great), so I believe it is kind of reasonable price :-).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Odyssey_LoL:
hi

I have HTC touch Diamond and 6.5.5 wm flashed and i use net.framework 3.5 and fps is 12 - 13 fps, and i have good feeling from it fps is poor but it is smooth according to fps and text have in some jotting stretched or rolled their lower ends about some milimeters

sorry my english xD
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Great project.

I hope to see it in a more completed state, anxious to use it in one of my own projects. Keep up the good work.

The lag mentioned between mousedown and scrolling is not noticable to me at all. There is, however, a strange issue in your font rendering. (screen-shot below)

Just curious, what language are you writing this is?

RhodiumW (Sprint Branded)

average 28 fps

Heavily modified Sprint Rom - 23554 base

stock video drivers

Good luck with your thesis!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] misterhatoola:
MotoSurf A3100

MotoSurf A3100, stock WM6.1 ROM and drivers.

19 FPS during repetitious scrolling, 25 when idle.

Works pretty nice, I guess.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] VeNuMuS:
HTC Fuze

Energy Rom Sense 2.5 Co0kie Home Tab WM 6.5

21 FPS when idle, 20 FPS when scrolling
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andes83:
19-21 fps but almost all the time above 20

HTC Blackstone

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Areowbe:
FPS: ~27

ROM: Topat 1.7 NLD by Patensas

Phone: HTC Touch Diamond 2

Works pretty good but the text is crippled.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
Thank you for your replies! Does everybody have the issues with the font? What system font do you use?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] VeNuMuS:
I dont have any problems with the font.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Areowbe:
I don't know what font is installed but I tried a different one (Sarcy's 6.5 Kabel) and now it's okay.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kosmodisk:
zdravíčko :)

my results:

Blackstone

energy rom (WM6.5.5 23559)

drivers: Neos signed driverpack

average fps: 18-19

no font problem
[Windows Mobile Software Development] icecreammm:
Phone: TOPAZ

Rom: Prime III

28 when idle

25 when scrolling

Text doesn't look ok.

scrolling is very smooth, but doesn't always react well on my finger movements.

Battery usage is nice, phone doesn't get hot.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] VisualD:
Phone: LEO

Rom: CleanEX HyperRom Ultimate 4

55.6 when idle

55.2 when scrolling

Text looks very nice.

Scrolling is very, very smooth.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] HaniX:
Works Fine! ;)

Scrolling is very smooth! I got around 55 FPS with my Leo.

I additionally installed Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch. The ROM I used is described in my signature! ;)

Glad to see some Czech students finally showing their abilities here on XDA, keep it up man! I'm 21 YO student also and eager to see some more demonstrations from you! ;)

Nice speed but font appears weird

Hi there!!

First of all, want to say great work and creativeness.

The speeds really really good (almost 30 fps ) on my touch pro2.

Just the font appears weird..

Not really sure what font is used.. how to check?

Maybe is tahoma.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sabamimi:
ACER S200

It works.

ACER S200, stock ROM 3.003b

Font is crippled like for few others testers

~45 fps both when working or idle

Good luck with your project
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lopez1_de:
- device: HD2

- ROM: 1.48 shipped

- idle: 38fps, scrolling 20fps

- driver CF3D (HD2 3D Driver Patch v2.00 by Chainfire)

Has good fps but is stuttering(?). My english is really poor. ;)

And the text isn't readable. See the screenshot.

EDIT: Screenshot fps is 15. This is in cause of the remote tool I used.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nicolas.maigne:
hello

- device: tg01

- ROM: native

- idle: 59.40fps, scrolling 59.40fps

- driver native (no chainfire patch)

very smooth but text have some glitch.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
Thank you all for your support!

So there is obviously some weird issue with Tahoma. I will be coding TouchWM the whole upcoming weekend, so I will definitely take a look at it (if it only wasn't the default font :-) ) and update the test application. I'm pretty sure that there will be some control elements and navigation already.

To sum your current reports up: The speed is quiet OK on all the devices, right?

But I'm just curious about some less typical situations. Is there anybody with either:

1) Low-res device (less then VGA)

2) Device with no GPU (hardware acceleration of graphics)

3) WM 5 device (basically any revision - just less than 6.0)

?

I would like to see your reports. Just to know how it works. 1) and 2) are just for my curiousity, but 3) might be more important for me.

Thank you in advance.

Rhodium

FPS: 29.5 normally, 28 when scrolling and 15 when resuming from standby.

Phone: HTC TouchPro2 (Rhodium)

ROM: WinMo 6.5, Original factory ROM.

The text did not come out clearly on my phone. It looks like the second or third last rows of pixels per line were repeated over the last two or three lines. Has anyone else encountered this?

Update: I had the reply screen open for a long time before posting. I see many have the same issue. I'm not sure where to check or change the default font? Perhaps we can provide a list of fonts that have the corruption, if that would help at all?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] richieacc:
My other PDA (not phone) is a Symbol PPT8800. It is running v4.20, no hardware accel. and a smaller than vga screen (I'm not sure exactly of the res).

The application failed to launch on it. This is probably expected :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
Right now, it kinda is. But I will deploy the next version with the .dll packed in, so we can see, if the software emulation is any good :-).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
First post updated, please share your Demo 2 results. Thank you :-).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
I was checking again your reports and I see that I haven't answered to volDeus :-). It's entirely C# on .NET CF 2.0.

problem downloading from rapidshare

hi there,

is it possible for you to attach the exe here straight? have a bit of problem accessing the demo 2 file from rapidshare.. maybe you can zip it up if there's a problem uploading exe files here in the forum. sorry to trouble u.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Blue Ice K4:
hi! tried the new release, the new release seems having some scroll issue... during tye scroll frames goes to 25 fps from 55 and makes a little flick...

i tought about lag we talked... i was think... can't be caused from a "limit" to the accelleration we can give to the scrolling movement? if my finger moves faster than the accelleration we calculate/can give to the scrolling... we have delay!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
I will consider it next time :-)

Wow, this is weird. Haven't you accidentaly executed the file twice? Can you, please, reboot your phone and try again?

Unfortunately, this is not it. As far as you touch the screen, the animation follows your finger immediately. It does not try to "smoothen" the movement. Let me know if the lag goes any better after the restart :-).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kilrah:
HD2, ROM info in signature, Chainfire's D3D patch:

55.56fps when stationary, 40-55 when scrolling small amounts, comes down to 17-25 if scrolling enough so that the image gets out of the screen, and is brought on again, like if it was unloaded from memory once it's out of sight and has to be relaoded when it appears again. Might be the slowdown Blue Ice K4 is talking about.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andes83:
Hi again , tested Demo 2

HTC TouchHD:L26HDLEOV4 Ultimate Serie 5.2.21869

Blackstone Hybrid Drivers

superb scrolling text is fine 23-27fps with one glitch when it dropped to 13-18 fps otherwise it's flawless.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Blue Ice K4:
i tried the app again, but the first version it's much smoother as scrolling... i reboot the PDA then tried both versions... first it's better... i noticed the following things... fps are more instable, also without any touch they go from 50 to 55 about... with the panel in center position... if i move the panel up or down of about 1 finger and i stop panel and don't touch the lcd... i can see fps slow down at 25fps many times, also if only for a moment! so i think.. it's not the scrolling movement to make flick, but there is something in background making the scrolling flicking...

bye!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
First post updated, please try it again :-).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] benjaminchia102:
Great so far!

Your device model

HTC Touch Pro 2

ROM you are using

Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional

CE OS 5.2.21864 ( Build 21864.5.3.0 )

FPS displayed in the corner

See attachment.

The longer page shows 21fps in the midst of scrolling and 29 fps when not scrolling.

While the short page shows 30++ to 40fps max.

Any additional GPU drivers you have installed (if any)

None.

And finally how does it feel to you in general

1. Great! Love the smoothness of the scrolling. Will it be possible for you to do a stress test with 80 paragraphs on the same page. Want to see how much does it slow down the smoothness of the scrolling and the number of objects on the screen.

2. Love the animation when you click on the arrow buttons. :)

Thanks for the great improvement!! Love the clarity of the fonts.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
Thank you! Just for you, there is a version with 100 paragraphs on the page. It's much slower, but not because the drawing, but because the items handeling. I need to take a look at it, since you made me find a bottleneck :-).

P.S.: This version also features landscape and screen orientation change support, but don't tell anyone! ;-) However, it will be in tommorow's release, of course.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] overjjrk:
Device Model: Raphael

ROM: |6.5.5|WWE| ★ Energy Series (23559) ★ |Apr 18| Sense 2.5

FPS: Home Page-22.75fps, During Slide to Side Pages-17fps, On Side Pages-30fps

Additional GPU Drivers: None (other than what may be included in the ROM)

General thoughts: Very smooth thus far.

Hope this helps in some way, keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
It definitely does. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Blue Ice K4:
tried also the third release, with stress version... this is really smooth! no more flick also in test page.

fps are 55 in normal pages and 40 about in stress page arriving at 30 when scrolling, but always really smooth!

are you going to manage some other gesture? like zooming, rotating and others? some multitouch gesture? g-sensor integration?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] andes83:
Tested Demo3 here are some of the impressions I had

HTC TouchHD

Rom:L26HDLEOV4 Ultimate Serie 5.2.21869

Blackstone Hybrid Drivers

superb scrolling again when jumping pages some times fps drops to 13 (once even 8 fps) overall scrolling is at 21-23 fps and the higher are 28-30fps but jumping through pages resembles that of an iphone so yes it's smooth :)

P.S. Stress page 10-12 fps while scrolling.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Johny_G:
Well, not in TouchWM (since it is very specialized framework that will never utilize it, and I have critical deadline to finish it), but bet your ass I will implement those features in the 2D game engine I plan to code afterwards. I plan to do it much more featured, but of course, not that simple to use. As you will see later; development with TouchWM can hardly be easier :-).
