Ok...

I have some important news for all those wanting to transfer videos across to the HD2.

Firstly and for some reason we all probably all realise now the screen resolution 800x480 is not supported by the graphics chip on video playback. i.e. I have found all my ipod/iphone encoded videos work so much better on the HD2 both with the embedded video player and also TCMP which I have as a stand alone video player. The maximum encoding for the ipod is 640x480.

Any-time I encoded at 800x480 I have always had problems of stuttering and pixelation and framming. Instead encode your movies at what the maximum ipod/iphone settings is at which is 640x480 someone please correct me if I am wrong.

The TCMP plays them smoothly with the -200ms audio delays setting to get the video and audio in sync whilst the embedded video player also plays them very smoothly albeit with the slight audio sync issue but you can zoom in and out now..

It seems just like the audio player which looks like an ipod/iphone copy the embedded video player is very much a copycat of the ipod/iphone video player with support only being what the max ipod video setting is at.

I guarantee this works for all your videos, etc. It's becoming more obvious that the software engineers at HTC used the iphone video/audio software and ported it across to the HTC whilst not utilising the bigger resolution which is a real shame.

Curious to hear what others think...feel free to reply with the above settings..
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Yup can now confirm the 640x480 encoding resolution works and works bloody fast on the HD2 video is flying along and very smooth too. By the way the audio is nice and loud too as well..

Hope this helps others users wanting to watch a nice movie on their HD2.

Furthermore, the audio/video sync issues with the standard embedded video player are now very difficult to notice... I have watched a few videos now they seem very close but need others to confirm on this..

:)
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Maybe you should do a search for the video encoding threads in the Leo section...we've been playing 800x480 videos just fine for sometime already. Need to set a delay to compensate for the audio sync...but otherwise it's pretty good.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Disagree....the 800x480 works but with stuttering and glitching. This method above does NOT produce any glitch or framing or pixelation. The method above produces stunning quality video which is very fast and does not frame...

Try it for yourself...

I am starting to believe that HTC are aware of this but advertise the unit on the screen resolution thereby confusing users that they should encode their videos at this maximum resolution. This does not work but instead encoding them for the ipod/iphone screen resolution works with fluid video even in very fast scenes and clear loud audio which looks to me to be very in sync.

Please don't throw the topic off with an unnecessary post...
[HD2 General] kenkiller:
Hehe...if you believe so strongly, then I won't do anything to change your mind. :D

I've personally done a ton of 800x480 videos converted from HD videos, and they play great. But since you believe what you are doing is the only correct method, then don't change....self belief is very important. :) All I can say is that we've owned the HD2 much earlier, and have tested many ways to get video working the best way it can. However, if offering an alternative is wrong just because you feel your way is the only way, then I apologize. :)

However, if you're open to other possibilities, I would suggest doing a search on video encoding in the HD2 Themes and Apps subforum....you might be pleasantly surprised. :D I myself have posted rather often in several video encoding threads there, but I'm not so shameless to do any self promotion.

Cheers and good luck!

It plays great on HD2....if it doesn't play fine on yours, then should be a problem on your end.

I am working very hard on a new type of service that ties in to facebook and mobile apps.

I have it working at about 90% with an Android game app, but it appears that there are some issues that I can't seem to get answered. Is there anyone here that knows the facebook API very well that might be able to answer some questions for me regarding conecting my facebook App, with my web framework, and my mobile apps? WinMo guys will be helpful too as we are planning on making this service crossplatform to all phones except the crapples.

Thanks!!!

Recently I answered a question on MSDN winmo forums c/p;

I'm not using FaceBook (FB), but a good friend is. She asked me to look into it as she too is having issues with FB obtained from Microsoft Marketplace. I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact V cq HCT Diamond 2 cd Topaz cq Pure .

First I looked at the FB provided by Microsoft and tested it in a virtual embedded environment, as I did with all FB's tested. And I too had several 'issues' all different with several PPC based FB alternatives. Then I went to Facebook Developer site(!) and did some reading, then I found out that any FaceBook application

needs

API Key , Application Secret , and Application ID .

Official (Technical ) Facebook developers .com : http://developers.facebook.com/get_started.php

:: Copy/Pasted from : Drupal site builder's toolkit http://drupal.org/node/625792

Setup the Facebook Application - Part 1, on Facebook.com

The following steps assume you have a Facebook account.

• Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php .

• If asked to login, use your Facebook login. If you haven’t created an application before, you will be asked to grant Facebook Application access to your Facebook account. You have to allow this in order for this process to work.

• Facebook will ask you for the Application Name that you want to use. This is a short human-readable name. It will be viewable to those who are allowed to visit your Facebook account so make it simple and clear.

• Agree to the terms and click Save Changes. Note: The next page that appears will contain three pieces of information that you will need for your Drupal FB Application: API Key, Application Secret, and Application ID. You will copy and paste this information into the applicable fields when creating your Drupal FB Application.

Canvas Page-specific Setup

Not necessary for Facebook Connect-only applications.

• Click on canvas in the left menu of your Facebook application screen. At the top of the screen that appears next, fill in the URL field. Keep the URL simple and descriptive. Formatting restrictions are provided on the screen. Please read them.

:END

My facebook http://www.google.com searches ;

(copy/paste from left to right (not up down) in your preferred search engine (remember that search engines interpret commands in CAPITALS))

facebook AND configure AND "give the application access"

facebook AND configure AND "application access"

"this key identifies your application to facebook"

"you pass it with all your api calls" AND facebook

"configure access control policies" AND facebook

"third-party Integration modules" AND facebook

:END

Currently my friend is using some beta version from another developer and still has some issues, found in the first google search string. Though for her they are only minor issues for which she wants to use her laptop anyway.

I hope these links help you. I'm gonna move to a next subject now ;)

I am trying to edit the icons in phcanOverbmp.dll, but no matter what i do the device will not use this modified file. This is driving me crazy as i can install and use other peoples taskbars with no issues and i know they have been modified.

This is what i have done so sar:

1 extract the file from a cab that i know works on me device.

2. use the unsign tool on that file, goes ok

3. modify icons ans save file(even i do not do this step it still does not work)

4 sign the file with current 2010 or 2009 certs, says the file is singed, but not timestamped.

5 recreate cab file and install

I have SDKcerts.cab already installed on the device.

I am using standard HTC rom on the diamond2 with windows 6.5

[Omnia II General] khshayesteh:
Hi, I've had my omnia 2 (GT-I8000) for almost 2 months, and wanted to change ROMs as my friends have suggested. I looked into it and found that there are a wide variety of ROMs, depending on the region and the codes in the CSC, PDA, PHONE, sections.

these are the current Codes:

PDA: I8000JPJA2

CSC: I8000XSGJA3

PHONE: I8000XXJA1

the store that I bought the Phone from updated my Omnia to

win mo 6.5 ( CE OS 5.2.21883 Build 21883.5.0.73)

I wanted to change the ROM and heard that if the region of the ROM is not compatible with your phone, it won't work. so I would really appreciate any help and suggestions for good ROMs.:)

Please, if you give suggestions for Roms, or any programs that I have to Use, then please, please, provide the links to them, I would greatly appreciate it! A walkthrough would be nice too,:) I'm a Complete Noob when it comes to WM phones.

thank you very much.

[HD2 General] da_mayhem:
I got an HTC PRO THREE, the Pre Release version of HTC HD2.

It only has 320MB of RAM, and that's the only difference with the official HD2. I wonder if anyone there who also happens to have this device and unlocked the RAM to 576MB... i have tried the various/required Radios and various cooked and official ROMS and still has 320MB.

Does that mean hardware-wise, the only RAM i got is 320MB?

But i have read somewhere here, that on a certain rom, the HTC PRO THREE displays 340MB which makes a 20MB difference with the pre-released ROM, which seems to me that this HTC PRO THREE, has more than 320MB, since it displays 340MB on a non- pre release ROM.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[HD2 General] Martinhdk:
could you provide a picture of the device?
[HD2 General] djchubbs:
Its exactly the same as the HD2 IIRC, just has touch pro 3 on the back casing in yellow.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
this is because it only has 320 mb of ram ,sorry for you but this is the true
[HD2 General] da_mayhem:
So there is no chance hacking or unlocking the hidden ram if there's any?

The thing is, someone said that the pre release device was flashed by a certain rom, and was able to display 340mb ram on it, so meaning, if its true, there is more than 320mb of rams on this pre release version of HD2.

I just hope someone will clear this all to me. Thanks for the participation guys!
[HD2 General] dudu7559:
It might be what you said. The T8585 has just one hardware version providing a 576 Mb memory at all. So this fact sounds weird as well as the ROM should have less memory allocation, make sure either you didn't get a damaged device or somebody badly flashed ROM on it or the flash spoiled some hardware parts........

Anyway, try flashing a HSPL (the most updated) on it, get the ROM you like the most from the Web and see how it goes......... Bless you :-)
[HD2 General] da_mayhem:
The HTC PRO THREE has been released with a 320MB RAM and i doubt also if this is defective, as i've seen few users too of this 320MB HD2 version.

Thanks for the tip bro, i did installed HSPL2 and the current Artemis ROM, i didn't even check if that HSPL2 was the latest..i'll try to look at it later. Thanks again!

Hey guys ive been using the HD2 for awhile now down in Australia... Im using ROM 1.66 WWE with rado version 2.09! It was originally a T9193 with Telstra software! but when i flashed it to the 1.66 WWE it now shows T8585! Im using the OPTUS network...

Now my problem is, people keep saying they call me but the phones switched off! and if they do get through to me... the call either drops out... or they have to call me twice to be able to hear me!

Any suggestions on what it might be?? or any prefferred ROM & RADIO for Australia? thanks

Try switching to GSM only (Turn off 3G) and see if the problem still persists.

I'm very sad and I'm hoping someone can help me with ANY idea that might work. I just bought a LifeView FlyPresenter CF card for my pda because I heard awesome things about it. Unfortunately any and all attempts to install the card so far have been unsuccessful with any driver version I could find. Plugging the card in hangs the pda until I remove it and soft-resetting with the card in hangs the boot process...when I remove it the thing boots normally and then gives me an error box saying it can't recognize the card (which I pulled out) and is looking for me to tell it what driver to use. I tried typing the driver name in the box but that did nothing, probably because I can't get the error box and have the card plugged in simultaneously. The Card is supposedly written for PPC 2002 and 2003 and I figured that it'd be compatible with WM6 but maybe I was mistaken....the software seemed to install normally and the app shows up on the programs list though.

So....I'm hoping somebody can help me either A) get the thing working or B) tell me how to trick the device into acting like a ppc 2003 or something crazy like that so that I can use the card in some limited way. It has a lot of awesome software and full motion video out that I want to take advantage of. Thank you for your kind support.

Hey have you seen on their website that they have SDK software? I just saw it now. Apparently it allows you to write drivers for whatever platform you want by simply using their dll files and writing the drivers for them. Problem is the link is 404 and I can't find the sdk anywhere else. I know they have the same software for the flycam too. Maybe if we each are able to find our respective versions of the SDK we can both use our hardware again.

Any ideas where I could find the SDK? My methods of searching for things are limited to google but you might know where else such things are likely to be found...

hi guys

will be very grateful if u can list popular known issues with HTC desire.

i am planning to move from my X1 to an android phone..and need your help in evaluating the phones.

-so far..the one problem seems that it gets hot while using.

and other is that SMS's are not received immediately with data connection enabled
[Desire General] Jaa-Yoo:

[Desire General] ohyeahar:
Be careful about coming to any conclusions from forums. Especially if you don't actually have the device...

Regarding the heat issue, I doubt there's a single modern smartphone that doesn't get warm from prolonged heavy data connection usage...

Regarding the SMS issue, that sounds like it's a limitation of particular carriers. I have my data connection enabled all the time with push emails and such. Never had problems with receiving or sending SMS.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sirako5:
At the risk of being attacked for being a total noob, I must say this.

<rant>

I have an ipad.

I have an iphone 3gs. Apple won't let me tether the iphone 3gs to my ipad, because they are evil and greedy (for no other reason).

And because they are evil and greedy, I've chosen to buy another phone (htc desire) that I was told would wifi tether because it was running the latest version of android bla bla bla. You get the picture.

I should have done my home work. Turns out, I have to root the phone? Which could brick it, and cause a nightmare of issues. Also, the wifi tether doesn't actually work properly. You have to manually assign an ip address and can only use WEP. Bah!

HTC doesn't even support syncing the phone to a MAC. You can tell they are really interested in gaining market share (not).

Am I the only person who just wants this phone to tether to an iPad and do the other normal phone things with no hassle? I'm all for advancing technology by way of bricking your expensive phones etc. But sometimes things should 'just work' *laughs at self for saying something so apple'esque*

</rant>
[Desire Themes and Apps] Whiterin:
Just plug it up with the USB... the Desire has built in tethering capabilities.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sirako5:
Nope.

With a macbook, no it doesn't.

With an iPad. Definitely not.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sirako5:
wtf

p.s. This isn't a Theme and App topic, so to the mod who moved it. wtf?

This is about android development for the HTC Desire.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
Blame Steve Jobs for that. He does not allow it.

This is not Android issue.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sirako5:
I know it's not an Android issue, but android exists to offer alternatives to Steve Jobs and apples monarchy. So I was hoping somebody would figure out a way successfully create a wifi tether application that works without rooting and potentially bricking the htc desire. Maybe the android people at google could make this an out of the box feature, to cut into apple's market share.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Whiterin:
Well, if tethering is disabled on apple devices, then it's probably not going to work (for very long at least) even with a root or a new feature.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sirako5:
When your phone creates a wifi network, how would the apple device know what it is? If you ensure your wifi network is a standard protocol, the mac, iPad whatever can't tell. It just connects, provided the phone does the wifi part properly.

iPhone developers created myWi, works with no issues at all. Costs $10 bucks.

I'd pay $20 bucks for a working version on the HTC Desire.
[Desire Themes and Apps] enea86:
wifi tether work after rooting.. install "wifi tether", you can find it in android market..

then read this guide:

1) started wifi tether on desire

2) connect iPad (or any other device) to desire wifi network

3) set ip static on iPad (or any other device):

IP address 192.168.2.100

subnet mask 255.255.255.255

gateway 192.168.2.254

dns 192.168.2.254

4) ping with terminal emulator command :

ping 192.168.2.100

5) killed ping

6) goto safari (or any other internet browser) and surf on web .....

100% working
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sirako5:
Yeah,

I get that you can get it working, and I appreciate your tips.

However the point remains, that as a consumer, and purchaser of a phone that is meant to compete with the iphone. I should not have to root my htc desire, and screw around with ip addresses and subnet masks, just to get this phone to do something my iphone can do.

Get it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] randomsuffix:
Your iPhone can't do it though. If it could you wouldn't be ranting in here, would you?

If you are unhappy with having to actually do something that requires very, very little effort then I suggest you stick to Apple products.
[Desire Themes and Apps] neuromacer:
Both apple & HTC disable these options for many reasons. At least you can by pass this block in your HTC via rooting. Just follow all the great advice from these forums and you'llbe safe. And if you brick your phone it sounds like you can afford a replacement as you already have a iphone, ipad, htc, etc

My iphone CAN do it. It's called mywi. I explained this in the first post.

I'm unhappy that HTC doesn't make the phone sync with a MAC by default. I'm also unhappy that creating a wifi from the phone is something you need to root the phone to do. I'm also unhappy that to do it on a HTC Desire requires additional steps which include ****ing around with ip address's and subnet masks.

I'm right when I say, that HTC and the Android community need to spot the market share and steal it.

Not everyone can be bothered figuring out how to download roms and root phones. If this functionality came out of the box, it would be a major selling point.
