[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stringman:
I am using the stock rom

from what i understand the HTC and windows media use some sort of graphics acceleration

so you dont need to turn off sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
True, that makes sense. Still not sure why things get worse with Sense off, but maybe that is just the human side of the measurement, as they do all look pretty close between the two sets? And actually, it gets better for Core, worse for TCMP, and then about the same for the other two.

Do you think it would be worth trying with a different SD card, or better: trying a small video loaded from the device? If you play from the device, you at lease take the age/quality of the SD card out of the experiment as a variable. Even though you wouldn't watch a video from the device in real life, it may be a better way to benchmark, unless you are benchmarking for a specific card.

I think adding a streaming file to the test would be interesting too. Anyway, thanks for the research on this. It is a very interesting topic, imo.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tufyuma:
The muisc player wasn't working for me either, and movies really sucked! nothing would play.

I switched roms and now everything works, music plays and comes up in the player, and movies look and play good.

I converted with AVS here are my settings:

Video codec: MPEG4(divX/Xvid compatible)

Audio codec: MPEG2/4 Audio

Frame Size:

Width: 368

Height: 208

Frame Rate:

Bitrate: 520

File Type: mp4 PSP

Channels: Stereo Sample Size: 16bit

Sample Rate: 48000Hz Bitrate: 128kbps

I watched on the built in player and didn't have to turn anything off, my fully charged battery lasted for almost 4 hours of nearly constant use ( i turned it off after i got under ~7% left).

PocketDiVXEncoder

hard to go wrong with PocketDiVXEncoder

http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/EN_index.htm

its free, and makes amazingly good playable .avi's out of almost anything

the 1.7mb :30 second clip attached below was encoded at 300k video/96k audio, and the whole movie is about 390megs @ this level of quality.

Anything made in PDE thats <= 1200k/128k/640x480 seems to play flawlessly in COREplayer
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stringman:
my issue is that if i have to convert any file to anyformat its a real pain.

on the td2 i could tranfer a avi fil from my laptop to the sd card and watch the film no problem.

now i have to convert it to a mp4 or something and to a particular resolution

ok so its about 40mins but its a pain

so bearing in mind that this does need to be done

whats the best format ( i am leaning to mp4)

whats the best resolution settings

whats the best prog ( i am using mp4for hd at the moment)

cheers

Hey Guys,

Not sure if you still use this or not but I'm trying to get a hold of the himem patch and I cant find it anywhere!

I need the actual patch, not the boot.img with the patch included.

It's so we can try something on the liquid E, if anyone has it I'd love to get my hands on it.

Thanks for your help!!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketaylor00:
What patch are you talking about?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boostnek9:
himem patch for the nexus...

I need this because my phone has 2 revs 1 with 256MB ram and the other for 512MB, our froyo only supports 313MB or so... and we would love to have the whole thing lol

It was integrated with the boot.img I saw it everywhere when doing a search but it's only integrated in the boot.img..

Cyanogen was asked about this and he said he no longer has it but I'm wondering if anyone else has it stand alone and not in the boot.img
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uoY_redruM:
Alright, so I'm just doing a lot of searching and I MIGHT have found something useful. We'll see though :p

http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg94488.html

http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/

Superboot Boot Image with himem

* This option installs a Superboot boot image that installs the SU and Superuser binaries for root access. This boot image is also insecure and therefore also provides adb remount permissions. This boot image also includes himem support!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeEsAw12:
I thought OP was talking about something something else... something we wouldn't be able to help him with...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uoY_redruM:
He very well could be, lol, as I don't know much about this. I just did some deep research and tried to find what I thought he was looking for.

I did find some old old ROMs that had it, but I had no idea what file to look for or where it would be located (folder wise) so I couldn't search them myself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm99999:
Well, I know it was added to cyanogenmod around or a bit before feb 2nd, so I'm combing through the commits. Around and before that day, there are extensive memory structure, access, error, etc changes. I still haven't found it, but...

Is it impossible to synchronize to the latest source, or are there too many drivers that are not portable?

Hah, I guess it's a bit ironic I ask that when it's been my goal to port some of the Liquid E drivers to the N1.

I'll at least try to hunt down the original author, I remember highmem being credited to someone somewhere.

Edit: It appears it was fixed in kernel .32 but persists in .29. It seems things get a bit fuzzy here, archived articles being vague and all, as I'm no longer sure if highmem patching means that there was a .29 modification or they just went with .32.

Edit2: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-general-discussion/748-we-need-update-2.html There was a setting for highmem on arm processors in .32, but not in .29. There never was a "patch," I don't think.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vakman:
EDIT: Try this: http://www.androidspin.com/download.../&file=cm502_highmem_kernel_update_v1.6.1.zip - Himem 1.6.1 kernel update - CM 5.0.2? OR http://www.androidspin.com/download.../&file=cm5b4_highmem_kernel_update_v1.5.1.zip - Himem 1.51 kernel update

Please try the edited links first. I believe they are what you are looking for, what I wrote after this could be just useless to you.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but check the files on here.

http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=enomther/RESOURCE/

I think I know the patch you are talking about but I don't think it is listed there but there may be something similar there.

Also I remember it being on the Modaco forums but I don't see it there anymore, well not where it used to be, since now it is just integrated.

But check the link none the less.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boostnek9:
Wow thanks for all the replies guys!

It is pretty much what I am looking for however it seems to be all the boot.img files for the kernel and I need the source for the "patch"

This sucks cause I'm stuck with 30% of my ram missing on my device! :(

Anyways thanks for your help!

I'll keep looking
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
has anyone made a dvd, or played video in any other way on their high def tv? How is the image quality? is it super clean? How about audio? thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deanwray:
super clean? Not sure you get super clean 720p video out of much that costs less than a couple of thousands ££$$. But, it's ok for a tiny camera on a phone I guess. It's not Consumer camera quality. The average data rate is about 12MBits per second and single 16000hz Audio for the 29.97 frames per second (30). So not gonna blow anyone away. But look at it this way, it makes phone calls ;)

Compare the above sup par realtime compressor against an ok camera with 4ch 48k sound and a 30 - 50Mbit rate, it kinda flops!

hi guys i am running cm6 rc2 and i wanted to install the stock android launcher on the ROM can u guys help me out with a .apk file
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
I've been dying to upgrade from my ever outdating Blackberry Bold. Since I am on AT&T my options are limited but I want to steer clear from the Iphone and nothing that RIM has out attracts me at al right nowl, including the new but outdated BB Torch. I am also in a family plan that I cannot leave. I've seen the Captivate and I've been doing two weeks of research and lurking XDA amongst other android forums.

I've come to the point where I've decided I definitely want to get the Captivate but I'm still on the fence due to all of the negatives I read. I understand the phone has many positives though and I've spent a good hour or two in the store playing with it. I have two options at this point:

1) Buy the phone at AT&T and extend my contract. This will cost about $200 and I will be grandfathered into my unlimited data. I will have 30 days to "test" the phone out and if I don't like it I will be forced to choose another phone. I won't be able to go back to my Bold because the AT&T rep said I will lose my unlimited data, which is something I want to completely avoid. Worst case if I bring the Captivate back I could go back to another Blackberry (Torch or a newer Bold)

2) I found a few locals selling new captivates for $350-$400ish. Although more expensive than option 1, I won't be locked into a contract or forced to choose another phone if I don't like the Captivate. Once the other half of my family plan's contract is up I will then decide if I want to stick with AT&T or go elsewhere. If I end up not liking the Captivate I can just sell it off online or locally and think of a new solution. My only concern is my unlimited data. The AT&T rep said I *may or may not* be able to retain my unlimited data when activating a Captivate this way and that is up to customer service. He was kind of vague about this and it worries me because I don't want to drop $350 on a Captivate and lose my data. Has anyone done this option and successfully gotten to keep their unlimited data?

Sorry for the wall of text but any advice would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
I was in your shoes (former 9000 bold user)

...and I got my phone at Wal-Mart for $148.88.

I did lose my unlimited BB plan, but the AT&T reps I had talked to before told me that would happen. It turned out I wasn't using more than about 200 mb in a month, but my usage has definitely gone up since I upgraded. I would definitely suggest the 2gb plan.

The people at Wal-Mart were fine to work with, but my plan got messed up and I had to call AT&T customer service to get my plan straightened out. If you go to Wal-mart be sure to check your account online at the earliest opportunity. They had actually created a separate account for my new phone, separate from the family plan.

Good luck!
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
Bought Captivate New in Box $350 off a local, cut the middleman (no need to talk to att) just put your BB sim in the Captivate, and you're good to go.

Save the contract like me, for the new phones that will come these holidays
[Captivate General] Joe777G:
The AT&T rep is an idiot. You can upgrade to the captivate and keep your unlimited data plan. If you decide you don't like it before your 30 days are you you can return the captivate, cancel your upgrade, and go back to your Bold while keeping your unlimited data plan.
[Captivate General] lost2030:
Why the hell would you lose your unlimited data plan??? I had a blackberry and I switched to the iphone 4, I was able to retain the unlimited data with no issues.

I got tired of the iphone and switched to the captivate (best choice ever) and I still managed to keep my unlimited data.

I still have my blackberry and I was told I could switch between both phones and have unlimited data on either one since it's on my plan. Haven't tried it yet though.
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
This is just plug and play? You lose no functionality or risk anything? If that's the case this may be my ideal scenario because if I end up wanting to go back I just switch the sim card back to my BB and sell the captivate for a somewhat lower price depending on how long I use it
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
Greedy reps wanting to lick OP into a contract.

Yes, just plug and play no problem, even checked my account right now.. UNLIMITED :D
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
Did you have a BB before your captivate? My ATT online says its a GPRS BB Unlimited data plan, I'm not sure if it matters that its a BB data plan while changing the sim without involving ATT
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
I believe it should work.. but they might question all non-bb data usage, so in that case just call att support, and they'll do the switch for you (BB-unlimited-Smartphone Unlimited).

If they say something like "you need new contract/plans" ask to talk to higher authority, because it's within your right to stay grandfathered in.
[Captivate General] dmnall:
I upgraded from a Bold 9000 with Unlimited BB Plan and got to keep my Unlimite Plan when I switched over to the Captivate back on the Captivate's Launch Day! I am not going back as I am very happy with my Captivate!

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
I also wanted to point out that I tried to get a discount on the phone at ATT since amazon, wirefly and walmart all sell it cheaper. I've read a few threads where people have had such discounts honored. The rep said the only reason they do that is because they they (amazon for example he said) require a 4 year contract, 2 with them and 2 with ATT. This seems like BS to me and I couldn't find anything on Amazon to verify this. Is this at all true?
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
Just picked up my captivate today! I went to a much larger and better store and asked the rep some questions, he said the previous rep didn't know what he was talking about at all. He also gave me a $50 discount once I showed him the print out from Amazon. Once I feel out the phone I'll be rooting and modding the crap out of it :D
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
Where did you buy, and did you get locked into a contract?

KEEP YOUR STOCK ROM IF YOU VALUE EASY TETHERING

First read up on the "Pimp My Captivate" pdf

then at the step for rooting, just flash the Unleash the beast build found in the dev section where it'll root, remove bloat apps, and give you the steps to sideroot.

Follow the rest of the pimp my captivate guide

Cosmetic mods I recommend are the battery icon, the evo black bar mod (there's a combo of them both somewhere in the dev section in the thread)

I posted some fonts in the themes section, you should set-up launcherpro with 3d app-cabinet

Get beautiful widgets, some nice live wallpapers (I'm rocking the droid x one)

and there's the notification mod, in the themes section too.

Explore and have fun, but remember to keep a nandroid backup handy (when you figure out what that is :P)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
It's not possible to Sync directly with USB as far as I know...not easily anyway.

Then in Android, sync with my Gmail account.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] groovinfingers:
I've confirmed that PC Suite For Android V1.5.8.98 allows me to transfer my Outlook contacts from my PC directly to my phone. My phone is running the FroyoStone build.

I was not able to transfer calendar items in this manner as I received a message that said a calendar connector was not installed.

Please note that the transfer of contacts does not appear to be a sync. During an experiment, I transferred one contact from Outlook on my PC to my phone. Then, I modified the contact on my PC. Next, I re-transfered the contact from my PC to my phone. The software detected a conflict and then created a duplicate record on my phone.

I think however that this software is a great work-around for folks who need to transfer contacts from Outlook on their PC to their phone without having to use their Google account.

Thanks to arturw for this suggestion.

Go Android PC Suite

This is a fantastic application if you can handle the bad translations into English and the odd Chinese character. Does everything I need including Syncing APK's etc etc.

I am running [RE-BUILD][23.08.2010][mattc Leo+Froyo w/Sense 1.5b] w/1GB Data+Led+OC by Caedanne. It has been working like a treat.

Now with Android PC Suite I will shortly be able to tweak the phone and post my first Android Home Screen.

I am a convert :D

I set up my WM ROM with MS exchange and it imported the settings across when I booted up Haret. Therefore my Android is always up to date with the server list of contacts, calendar appts and email. It does however mean running MS Exchange which is not everyone's cup of tea.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
@belsj

Mate.

I am a noob Android.:o

I dowloaded the program to both my desktop (XP) and laptop (Windows 7).

I then installed it following the usual course of taking whatever was recommended.

I then connected my phone via USB and boot up WM (using Chuckys GTX Lite). This established the usual Active Sync (WM) connection.

I then booted into Android as per usual. Active Sync died and Android Suite for PC automatically picked up the link.

Happy days from then on in because it not only contains a file explorer, full back up, APK loader and installer etc it also has a screen shot of your phone which changes with the modifications.

I cannot vouch whether it would work for any other builds other than the one I am using at the moment.

Good luck!:D

I'm using "CompanionLink for Google", it's a paid app and for me worth it. It syncs the contacts, calendar & tasks seamlessly from Outlook to Google and back. It takes a little finagling to get it set up and you may get some duplicate contacts etc but that's pretty easy to clean up. After that, it's seamless and having struggled with activesync forever this is a real breeze.
