You're welcome.And btw sorry,but I didn't try to make myself look smarter!I just noticed that it just looks that way,like sarcasm or something!Again I'm sorry! :)

Anyway,I don't have my DHD yet(damn...),but I stumbled across these things with my Desire.Stuttering\lag has to do with the SD card you use.The provided class 2 card will most probably have trouble recording video at these bitrates.That's what happened with the Desire;Once I bought a Kingston 16Gb class 10 card(kinda expensive though...) all the stuttering was gone(or up to a large degree).Try that along with the maximum ISO(although if possible don't use the latter as it produces much noise) and I think that video is gonna be butter smooth! :D
[Desire HD General] XmUrF:
How often do you experience that lagging? My did plays its recorded 720p videos quite well. Yes there is some shuttering occasionally, but its not that bad.

Why don't you try formating your sd card with 32kb clusters?
[Desire HD General] YumYumHD:
I just did a small test.

When you film something that is dark, and requires the phone to change the ISO, the FPS will drop dramatically. Only in bright light it films @ 30 FPS.

I guess it could be bad coding, so I really hope they can fix it through an update.
[Desire HD General] lukesky:
i think it's normal that when you film something darker, the FPS drops, all things being equal..the phone does need to slow down the FPS to gather more light to the sensor. I think the phone will also up the ISO but there is a limit to how much the ISO can increase without the video looking too grainy.

The sensor that HTC used for the camera could be a lower end type so that's why it has to compensate by dropping frames. If they used a better sensor with higher ISO capability, it could up the ISO a lot more and yet maintain the brightness of the video and also the FPS.
[Desire HD General] mdalacu:
I have switched my SGS for DHD , such a bad move! :( On sgs video recording at 720p is 20X better than 480p on DHD in terms of fps, ghosting, colors, image stabilization and fluidity... Just one of my many bad choices lately...
[Desire HD General] Fame123:
Hi XmUrF

Thanks for reply. That lagging happens approx after 30 secs when playing. 1. Does the class of the microsd matter? 2. Also does the space left on the microsd matter? 3. Can you tweak camera settings to make better?

On the htc hd2 the was no occassional stuttering. that was fluent, even tweaked it to be 8mp and pics were perfect no probz.

4. What does 32kb clusters formatting method mean and do?
[Desire HD General] l0w:
Wow 20fps????!

So far i've never got more than 12fps, mostly less.

I also get the stutter approx every 2 mins.

Lastly has anyone made a 720p recording longer than 15 minutes? If i do, when i stop the recording the screen goes grey and the cam wont work until i restart the phone. Any recording saved will then not play. Sigh.
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
it records 29fps in daylight drops down with indoor lowlight and down to 10fps in darkness, stutter issue is random sometimes it happens sometimes it never happens most likely related to multitasking or auto white balance

most of my outdoor recored vids are 29fps even at sunset it managed 29fps

as always if u want beautiful quality for both videos and shots, drop sharpness to -2 to kill the digital treatment

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diction:
Hi guys,

I'm really new to this, so please excuse me asking basic stuff.

I am an iPhone user and I am familiar with linux and flashing of a huge number of different devices (Nokia, Xbox360, Xbox, Siemens, PSX...). I am living in the US, but my girlfriend lives in Germany. What I did is, I got her a AT&T locked HTC Aria for x-mas. I am aware of the difference between rooting and unlocking, but still I have some basic questions:

1. Do I unlock the device before or after I root? Does it make a difference at all?

2. As the phone is meant to be used in Germany, which (as unbranded as possible) image should I use? Can I use liberated R012/FR006 or doesn't this work in Europe? Could I use the Gratia Image?

2a.) Shall I go for FroYo or rather stick with Eclair?

3. Does the change/upgrade/renew of the image affect the unlock in any way?

4. Can I unlock the phone with an app or similar, when the device is rooted or do I have to pay for the unlock code?

Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate your work and your help,

Tim

P.S. I used the forum search and did not find an current answer to my questions :(
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diction:
Maybe someone can also give me some advice on what to read, just to understand the basic stuff.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kc1:
Hi, I'm not an expert, but here is my experience in case it helps:

I unlocked first with HTCSimUnlock.com - had to pay the extended search fee.

I used liberated_aria_R012, then the "update": la_www_update_R002_signed referenced in the first post in his thread. However I can't get Titanium Backup to remove the bloatware social networking stuff like facebook, ppok, etc., as others recommend. I also couldn't remove them using the complicated "SDK" method as the "ADB" can't find the phone. I don't know whether this is anything to do with the version of the ROM (I know there are more recent versions), but I got fed up after 6 hours trying, so now my wife (it's her phone) just has to live with the clutter

The version I have is Eclair - works fine, not noticeably faster or slower than the stock ROM.

Don't think so - not for me anyway, I have used many network SIM cards in the UK, US, Poland, Macedonia, Qatar, UAE, Italy (haven't been to Germany recently, sorry!)

I didn't find a free way to do it. There is a thread here which lists a few.

I think I know how you feel. Even after a few years of familiarity with custom ROMs for Windows Mobile phones, this business of android "rooting", "ADB-ing", etc. and commands that look like Unix, it all sounds a a bit intimidating, especially since the "flash menu" entries aren't quite as the guides say in respect of the USB connection, bot following this thread about "unrevoked" is the way I went.

Good luck
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ostsjoe:
I don't think the rom you use will really matter, so I'd recomnd (if you don't mind running on the experimental side) the cm6.1 roms.

For unlocking, just call att and tell them you want to use it for international travel. They'll give you the code for free. I did this with my old blackberry 9000, took a few weeks, but it was basically 0 hassle. My experience was with an off contract phone, but I understand it works with on contract phones as well, someone correct me if i'm wrong, but theres no harm in trying.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopsi:
hi

i would suggest to wait for gratia in europe (i think it should be released in some days)

i use a aria in austria (ordered a week before htc pronounced that gratia will come to europe :( ) - works fine but only edge not hsdpa is working for data connection (due to differenze frequences in us & europe)

otherwise no problem with that greate phone :D
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kc1:
I get HSPDA with my wife's AT&T Aria, in all the European countries & Middle Eastern I visited and except rarely when in the UK and she doesn't get an Orange signal (her carrier), and it switches to T-Mobile's GPRS. Not sure if Austria's different, or may be the APN settings are working, but in my experience HSPDA is possible with the Aria phone hardware.

I tried that but they refused as I wasn't the original AT&T owner (got it from eBay). Maybe you'll be luckier.

There's a helpful looking video on youtube by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjgg__m-KHc. Although it doesn't look like an AT&T phone, it seems to cover all the steps.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopsi:
@kc1: are you sure? :confused:

i would be happy it it would work!!! ;)

when you look at the specification at htc.com for aria and gratia you will find

gratia

* HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

* GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

and aria (us)

Dual Mode UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (1900/850MHZ) &

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (Quad band 850/900/1800/1900MHZ);

and i tried at with different carriers (orange, t-mobile, a1) - no change to get even a connection when changing into WCDMA mode...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kc1:
@Dopsi:

Like it says in the Aria specs you've quoted above: "HSDPA". When I'm roaming in Europe & UAE, etc. I get an "H" and a fast connection if I turn the data on in most cities/countries. In other places sometimes "3G". I don't know what frequency Austria uses for it's networks (Due to be back in Salzburg after x-mas so will try it next month.), but I do know that in the past when I've only had a "G" or "E", it has been if I had the wrong APN settings. e.g. with O2, if you pick the "MMS" or "Wap" APN instead of the o2web, and similar for T-Mobile
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diction:
thanks

Hi everyone!

First of all, I want to thank you for all of your advices. I have not been around for the last days, so I couldn't reply earlier. I read your answers and they were really helpful to me!

As I mentioned before, I am a total newbie when it comes to Android OS or HTC handsets. The HTC homepage and many other forums say, that the aria won't operate on the European UMTS standard. Is this due to a hardware limitation or might this be fixed by using a different rom (like the one of the gratia)?

If this won't be working, is it possible to use skype on mobile with Edge?

Thanks again, have a great day!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tunertunes:
I would also like to know how you got HSDPA to work in europe. I have a AT&T Aria wich I'm trying to get to work with 3G/HSDPA in Sweden. It's unlocked through the same site you used and has the "liberated_aria_R012" rom with the "la_www_update_R002_signed" update. I have tested several different APN settings but I'm still stuck with Edge. I've read that the Aria's hardware doesn't support the 2100/900MHz band but your experiences says otherwise. Please bring some light to this problem :D
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diction:
Any updates on that? I really would like to operate the phone in europe using full 3G speed!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tunertunes:
Maybe it's possible to reflash the radio image?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
The AT&T branded Aria does not support the 900/2100MHz bands for UTMS. Only 850/1900, so you probably won't be able to get 3G. Flashing a new radio will not work because the frequencies are in the hardware, not controlled by software.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diction:
*grml* Stupid USA!!! Can't they just use the standard of the rest of the world? ;)

Thanks anyway, maybe Edge is fast enough for my girlfriend's needs.

Do you guys think it is possible that some major cities have installed some antennas for the US standard to make the mobile internet faster for visitors? This would explain the experience of @Dopsi.

Thanks for your replies!

Tim
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
I just reread Dopsi's replies and he said he only gets EDGE, not HSPA despite all of the different settings he has tried.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diction:
Ah, right, it was kc1 saying:
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMage:
Hello guys,

actually there are two types of HTC Aria:

HTC Gratia (HTC Liberty):

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100

HTC Aria A6380 (HTC Liberty):

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS2100

HTC Aria A6366 (HTC Liberty):

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850, UMTS1900

So you want to use HTC Gratia or Aria A6380 in Europe and I guess AT&T is selling Aria A6366.

Btw, you can find all 3 of them in the Device Database of this site.

I am not sure where you can verify which version you have. If you figure it out please let me know...

Mage
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
Hey may actually have the Aria sold in Asia, which is compatible with euro HSDPA.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken1939:
CMage,

my Aria from ATT via Amazon shows Model number "HTC Gratia A6380" from Settings>About Phone>Phone Identity. It was shipped in Aug. Thought this was interesting based on the list of available models.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Interesting indeed. HTC didn't even announce the Gratia until October 2010. So does your Aria have the AT&T logo on it?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eferrero:
Hi everybody,

I bought an HTC Aria one month ago in ebay. I'm an spanish user, so I cannot connect 3G (here we use 900/2100) :-(

I have been reading there are three different versions of ARIA, which is very strange. I'm experienced user, and this is the first time I see the same phone with 3 versions with the only difference in the band they operate (well, for Gratia and A6380 is the same frequency). I don't think HTC spend extra money for developing identical phones for working on 2 different 3G standard...I'm sure it's cheaper a phone for both standards.

Anyway, just for fun: if you go to *#*#4636#*#* "Phone information" "menu", you can select frequencies for: USA, Europe, Asia, Australia. I have tried selecting Europe, but I cannot get european 3G :-(, do you think it would be useful somehow?

Best Regards,

P.D.: if anyone interested in changing its A6380 for my A6366, please contact me...I still need 3G on my Aria...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMage:
any idea how can I check whether my phone operates on UMTS900/2100 or on UMTS850/1900
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Check the front of the phone. If the HTC logo is at the top left and an AT&T logo is at the top right, you have the A6366 (UMTS 850/1900). If the HTC logo is in the top middle and there is no AT&T logo, you have the A6380 (UMTS 900/2100).

It will also say which version of the phone you have on the sticker inside the phone underneath the battery.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ken1939:
tpblake, yes, have htc upper left, att upper right. Sticker under battery says a6366, but Settings>About Phone>Phone identity>Model number=HTC Gratia A6380. Evidently makes no difference. Only used in US. I am using Liberated FR006.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Are you using one of the Liberated Froyo ROMs? I think the "model number" is just hard-coded into the software, such that any phone running Liberated Froyo would say A6380 even if it's not. You should ignore that information.

There *is* a difference between A6366 and A6380, and the difference is what 3G frequencies are supported by the phone's hardware.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eferrero:
Drumist, you are right but I don't understand why they produce 2 identical devices but the 3G module...

Best Regards,
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whoareyou:
thats not necessarily true, i have an AT&T Aria, but it just has the HTC logo in the middle, theres not an AT&T logo anywhere in sight :D

What is QuickSwitch?

It's an app I developed to mimic ALT-TAB behaviour.

More info at http://bit.ly/quickswitch

Story:

I am a proud Desire Z owner and have to say the Vision is amazing with its keyboard. One thing I still hate about day to day tasks is switching between Google Talk and MSN apps. I hate reaching up to the notification bar from the keyboard.

So I wrote an app to solve this problem. I call it QuickSwitch.

By taking advantage of the quick keys on the keyboard, I wrote an app that basically launches other apps. It's configurable which apps you want favourit-ed and how many running apps to show. I also made it mimic alt-tab function by pressing Quick key 1 and comma. This would switch back and forth between apps very quickly.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
nice idea, but if your just using it to switch between gtalk and msn why don't you just install ebuddy and run both together? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
its configuable to switch between any app.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] roadrunnerx7:
i like the ability to make the quick keys function like alt and tab. im downloading it right now, will come back with comments

edit:

i think i misunderstood, can this make the quick keys function as alt or shift? i hate the placement of they keys and i hate the quick keys theyre pointless, i like better the keyboard layout on the merge

is there anyway to assign the quick keys the alt or tab function?

aside from that though, its pretty cool app and its fast too. good job
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
do you mean using TAB to switch versus comma and period key? I can look into making that possible. did I understand you correctly?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dietotherhythm:
so it kinda mimics what happens when you hold the home key?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
yes. there's recent running apps as well as favorite apps. its makes toggling apps a lot easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] roadrunnerx7:
no i meant more like a keyboard remapping. i want the two center quick keys to act as either alt or shift
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mikef1182:
Very cool app! Thanks!!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jopherr:
would this only work on the g2 or would it work on the epic 4g or the droid
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
I think it should work on the epic 4g and droid. Do those devices have a Quick Key / custom app key?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ImSoHungry:
No it dosnt, but you can remap the keyboard and make the smily face a quick key maybe.

I installed your app on my G2, absolutely love it, i would have paid for it, thats how good.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
Thanks! If you could add a rating / comment in the market, that would be appreciated. :)

How can I make it better? I am adding icon overlays to indicate which ones are Favourites and which ones are Running. Next, I'm thinking about long press running icons to add them as Favourites.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ImSoHungry:
Done. A well earned 5 *'s

As for making it better, I honestly think it is one of those rare gems that comes out the box 100%, its perfect for what it is used for. I like the clean look it has so I would have to see what overlay you use to judge if it will be good. Long pressing an app to add does sound good however.

You get these kind of apps once in a blue and what ends up happening is the dev always thinks that he/she has to improve it and just adds up making it bloated. I like it as is. Here's a great piece of advice; make a version with what you plan to add and put it up as a donate version, feel out the market, then just tidy the code up for this one and sit on it. You do great work.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] mcjerica:
This is pro. Fantastic app.

How about one quick key for favorites, another for running...thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
Thanks for your feedback. Your suggestion is a good one. I can certainly split it up into two apps.

I am also thinking about how this can be used for devices with no keyboard. Maybe splitting the screen into two halfs - left selects from favourites and right selects from running. Hmm...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Smokuevo:
I love your app. Idk if it goes into two rows when u got a lot of shortcuts set but would be nice. Thank you for this wonderful app!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Stratrix:
