I thought only IVA 2+ supports 720p resolutions for MPEG-4/H.264 (720*480 max recording/playback for IVA 2)

We'll have our answer if the standard Droid/milestone (or Droid 2?) can't play those 720p files smoothly. (The Droid 2 Global/Milestone 2 have 3630s and don't count :p)
[Defy General] Caroliano:
Being in early stage of development isn't why they decode videos in software. In fact, it is much easier to write a player that uses the "native-mode". They decode video in software to support codecs other than the ones hardwired in the IVA 2+.

There is an trade-off between flexibility and efficiency in transistor designs. IVA 2+ is a module specialized in acelerating certain parts of the decoding of a few standards. I'm not sure about the usability or the documentation of the 430 MHz C64x+ DSP, that is an slightly more flexible module for acelerating multimidia encoding and decoding... Besides, only TI/OMAP use that module, so developers generaly don't code for it. NEON instrutcions are more widely adopted (despite nvidia's tegra2 not having it...), more flexible/easier to code, more similar to MMX/SSE, but even less efficient than an DSP. It is part of the "software decoding" thing on SOCs that support it.

Also, before anyone asks, GPUs (the PowerVR SGX module) are useless for video decoding. Only that, in destkops, they usually carry an module similar to IVA 2+, specialized for video decoding.

PS: I miss clicked the "thanks" button... ^^'
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
Hmm Got this from Mobile-Review.com

The phone uses TI OMAP 3630 chipset and ARM Cortex A8 processor of 800 MHz. It offers impressive speed (2.1 version is planned to be upgraded to 2.3).

Why can't everyone get the same information? LOL
[Defy General] sarge78:
Blame Motorolas marketing department and a lineup that's defined by hardware specs, even if they have to lie.

Motorola 'say' the Droid 2 (A955) has an OMAP3620... but what does the iFixit teardown reveal? :p There's no doubt the Defy has a 3630 under the hood too.

(It also has a same high end IPS LCD... but lets keep that quite too so everyone assumes its a crappy basic panel. :D Should've given it a snazzy name like Apple)
[Defy General] Xhit:
Off-topic:

If it is using the same LCD as Droid and Droid 2 (which it probably does) then this display benchmark should be of interest:

http://www.displaymate.com/Motorola_Droid_ShootOut.htm

An interesting note from the article is that Android 2.1 only supports 16-bit color natively in the picture viewer while it supported 24-bits in 2.0.
[Defy General] thenext1:
Here's a technical reference for the omap 363x processors:

http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/OMAP36xx_ES1.x_PUBLIC_TRM_vO.zip

In the page 201 and onwards, various control registers (bitfields) are detailed telling the chip configuration: if it contains IVA hardware accelerators and DSP - which are separate things according to the document -, SGX and at which clock, and so on.

Someone could sneak in and see for us...
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
anyone have enough balls to dismount the phone? :D :D :D :D :D

Maybe can know finally if they have a 3630 or other processor...

AHHH i HATE MOTOROLA!! ****ers... liers... grrgrgr :mad:
[Defy General] QNXUA:
i've already did this, but, the cpu is hided under the shield, that is actualy under the sticker with imei, disasseble is very simple, there are only 4 main components: from cover with glass, back cover, main board and lcd
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
Maybe with XRAY? :rolleyes:

PD: and you can't see what processor have it?
[Defy General] QNXUA:
here you go

shield needs to be unsolded with something, but it's to risky for me, i see that after mount i've got a gap near the power button and handsfree jack, so i think it's not water proof now :)

i wonder, is it possible to find 8mp cam from some another device, that can fit our one :)
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
What? a 8MP camera? is that posible? but the drivers?
[Defy General] QNXUA:
for shure we need a camera from the another moto phone on android, that can fit and the driver from the those phone android os :)
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
But... where? i dont whant to pay 50-80 dollars for a simple camera sensor to have 8MP camera...

y prefer the 5MP optimitzated an HD recording..
[Defy General] thenext1:
Could you make nearer photos of the lcd screen?

Or write here the model, serial, id, anything you find on the lcd assembly?

I just want to try to see if it's an IPS screen or not.

thank you!
[Defy General] switchgott:
:-))

Realy good, but what cpu is it now ´?? :-))

A 8MP Cam?

Can believe, why moto does tell us it a 5 mp?
[Defy General] Kaffeekranz:
You need to read a bit more carefully.

It's still a 5mp cam, they're just wondering if they could put a different cam module in.
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
is there any way to know if the camera suports HD recording? that will be more interesting, than an 8MP camera.
[Defy General] switchgott:
Sorry, this was my fault.

But please, could someone tell us now, which cpu the defy use?

Please pull down the front from cpu to look his serials.

Thanks
[Defy General] zhuzf:
still no result?

only a freak will do this, cause this process can destroy the mainboard

As seen here,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10686355&posted=1#post10686355

a software investigation reveals that our Defy is powered by a full-fledged OMAP 3630 indeed.
[Defy General] mkay1:
Hi,

the CPU is under the ELPIDA chip

Broadcom BCM4750
[Defy General] switchgott:
So now which cpu is it?Cant see it!
[Defy General] mkay1:
dont know i cant remove the Elpida Chip... srry
[Defy General] thenext1:
I wonder if that memory chip is DDR1, 2 or 3

A google search for "K4332C2FD" returns nothing
[Defy General] tony.research:
Easy confirmation test :-) --> omap3630

I haven't readed the whole 11 pages of posts so I don't know if I wrote something written before...anyway i have made a simply test:

underclocked the cpu to 300 mhz,

then I have opened an h264 with 1280x720 resolution video

and with the video player from motorola played flawlessly (conversely with rockplayer or with vplayer the video was getting 0.5 fps...).

So is for sure using some dedicated chip (not the a8 cortex)to decode, and the only one that can handle a 720p is iva 2+...

so iva 2+ + powerSGX530 = omap3630

so the processor has to be an OMAP3630!!!

:-D
[Defy General] |ErosizeD|:
If any guy have a dead defy, can see in....

But... is there any way to successfully identify that ****ING CPU INSTEAD?

This sucks :D

Well, one way is there... Make a driver to do 720P recording and try it :rolleyes:
[Defy General] dau_:
Hey, can you give me a link to that h264 video? Can't get anything to run on my Defy. It's either not starting at all or just playing the sound with a black screen. Tried with the Youtube 720p-MP4s and Big Buck Bunny, but neither works.
[Defy General] thenext1:
dau_

look here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9882730&postcount=81
[Defy General] dau_:
Thanks. Those are working fine on my Defy - but also on Rockplayer when i switch to Hardware Mode. So there definitely IS some hardware acceleration, but why doesn't it work on Big Buck Bunny for example? Also, Rockplayer isn't able to use the acceleration on all the codecs it should be able to.

Btw, is the IVA2+ part of the PowerVR or a separate chip?
[Defy General] Debalin:
i tried a 1080i and a 1080p video. both on rockplayer and moboplayer. my defy is unrooted and running at stock 800 MHz. i thought, even at software encoding mode, it won't start. but it started ok, but seconds into it, it started stuttering, audio became desynced, etc. but when i seeked the file, it started off from that place like it did in the beginning and again lost its way. but never did it crash or stop playing. btw, can anyone tell me what is software encoding mode in depth?
[Defy General] :
Those specs depend on where you live. Here in The Netherlands, the Defy is clocked at 800 MHz, so that's more than TI gives in their specs.
[Defy General] Debalin:
again, the defy has PowerVR SGX530 GPU for sure, which is not in the 3610.
[Defy General] droid_atoll:
I think motorola is lying:)

Don't remember, but there is the information, that defy for Korea is clocked at 1000MHz by default and it's absolutely normal. Think there is 3630 inside

sent from my MotoDefy
[Defy General] pkryger:
Well, if the recent UK (the android 2.3.3) leak from _shadow_ is not another hoax the Europe seems to have 1000MHz out of box too.
[Defy General] archerkent:
is there a definite answer yet to this?

i'm torn between a galaxy sl, an x10 and the defy as they are now being sold at the same price.
[Defy General] ibuntu:
Yes, sounds reasonable.
[Defy General] SeaFargo:
Is there something that can do the best video decoding for our specific CPU?

So what is a dedicated hardware video player for our Defy?

Mobo, Rock, VPlayer or some modded libs? ...

On old Symbian app called Core Player, wich was CPU dedicated coded, was able to play incredibly smooth video on 434mhz cpu, even if in a small screen ...

Is there something that can do the best video decoding for our specific CPU?
[Defy General] mesterke:
imo the defy has a 3630 cuz motorola not gonna buy another chip just for one phone they just nerf it kernel level.
[Defy General] zorofroozo:
there is an app called "Cinema" which uses the hardware decoder, not sure if it'll work on defy though ...: http://www.appbrain.com/app/cinema/com.deafcode.android.Cinema
[Defy General] :
They say new Defy+ has 3620, maybe old Defy has the same, but underclocked.

I have old Defy (red lens) and I can record and play HD videos :D, thanks to walter79's ROM.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
Does anyone else have this problem?

My home WLAN is hidden, it doesn't broadcast it's SSID. I've never had a problem until maybe the last week. Now my phone won't connect to my WLAN (or any other hidden WLAN that I had connected) until I reboot my phone. Once I reboot BAM it connects right away.

In all likelihood it might have something to do with my custom rom. Guess I should get cracking on a v3 with the latest OTA anyway...
[EVO 4G General] KingKash420:
I had this exact same issue a while back I while using a flipz rom.. one version of flipz it connected to my hidden network no problem the next minute it refused to connect I never got an answer so I just gave up

hopefully someone can shed some light on this because it has been bothering me for a very long time
[EVO 4G General] alekosy:
I don't know about routers that have WLAN configured on hidden mode, but don't you guys have an internet provider service for your home and could maybe work if you tried looking for your/their router provided Homepage Login details on Connections/Frequencies/Settings? I don't know much to say but this is maybe an idea, because I had a router with SBCGlobal Internet Services from AT&T on my home lines and we have the top tier DSL service including hidden lines for using the internet as in internet ip addresses, so I'm just saying I could connect with the key included but I don't necessarily have your problem per say, maybe it could be the router or WLAN itself to be reset settings on it for a reboot maybe and it might work, maybe not.

Sorry if my reply fails. I thought of this upon thinking from myself in my head. :P
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
I use my own router, not something provided from the ISP. The same thing happened with my father's router over the Thanksgiving holiday. I connected to his network fine after I configured it, but the next time it wouldn't detect it. It's definitely the phone. Guess Jiminy v2 isn't perfect ;) Back to the drawing board!
[Desire HD General] Killiandros:
I've recently received my DHD and noticed that the internet browsing experience is slightly different than what I used to with Opera on Windows Mobile (HD2).

One of the specific annoyances I had was trying to force the full site to load rather than mobile versions of sites (eg. Engadget vs. Engadget Mobile).

Even choosing to view the "Full Version" of certain websites I am still redirected to view mobile versions - not presented with the versions that would appear on a Desktop browser.

I have done some searching in XDA (and the web) and the only thing I was able to find were references to WindowsMobile to change the Custom User-Agent under User Prefs (In Opera Browser type, "Opera:Config" -> User Prefs -> Custom User-Agent). I have changed this but it does not appear to work.

I came across http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/browser_ids.htm but am not sure which Browser string I should try to use.

(Have tried IE settings as well as identifying my current desktop browser setting - Chrome - and inserting that) Additionally, I have also attempted to change the User Agent ("Opera:Config" -> User Agent) by incrementing the number and that does not appear to work either.

Attempting to connect to "About:debug" (in hopes of seeing some other settings somewhere) tells me that it failed to connect to the debugger at the default address/port.

I'm a little stuck as to where to go from here.

Has anyone else experienced this or managed to amend successfully?
[Desire HD General] Killiandros:
Well, after further searching I still haven't been able to have the Opera Browser default to show me a Desktop view of web pages that seem to aggressively divert you to mobile versions of their sites.

However, I did download Dolphin Browser HD from the market and the settings page listed this as an option that works very well.

Based on my short experience with it, I actually think DolphinHD is actually a much better choice of browser for Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Devmil:
Hi all,

I'm trying to build the current source code for the android stock apps and install them to my Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

I've managed to compile the apps, signed and aligned them but when it comes to installation on the device I get a "Parse Error" (tried with launcher2).

I also tried copying the file to "/system/app" followed by a reboot, but no luck.

I successfully exchanged the gallery already so I assume the problem is

a) the fact that the I9000 doesn't have a launcher2 preinstalled so I can not simply swap out a apk file

b) the app installer checks the signature of the package (perhaps dependent on the package name)

c) it is generally forbidden to install apps under android package (the gallery has it's own package name)

d) a combination of the 3

I use a rooted stock Froyo ROM.

Does anybody have experience in installing self-made versions of the android stock apps on a stock ROM?

Thanks

Hey guys, I just read in a local newspaper that there is a security flaw in the android web browser. It allows hackers to access files stored on the SD card. Does this call for an AntiVirus software?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemuro:
It's true. I also read an article where they said rooting is illegal. What about that?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifarunnerr:
And you think antivirus-software will block that? I don't think so.

Android is open source, be happy they're telling Google the bugs in Android so they can fix it. It's better than hackers find the bug and Google doesn't know of it.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Its been around for a while now, its easily solveable, don't click on a link you don't know, pretty much how you would react on a pc if you had a random email with a link in it. I'm not sure if by dialling a code on a wildfire you can wipe the phone though someone correct me if i'm wrong.

It can happen on my s2 but i highly doubt it will, i suspect this is a leaked story to help promote the iphone 5 a little to the uneducated.

No need for antivirus as the way it works is you click the link with the malicious code in and it tells the phone to dial a code which then wipes the phone so unless your anntivirus can detect the code in a url it won't help.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
The flaw was patched sometime back in August IIRC, but thanks to slow updates it's still unpatched on a majority of phones.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
They are a feature, it's just that some phones can be wiped with no prompt by dialling a code so its also a possibility that some idiot can add that certain dialling code into a link. Shouldn't affect most of us xda'ers though and even if it did most of us wipe our phones on a regular basis anyway and know all about the importance of backups, its just a minor setback in my eyes.

I think my phone is vulnerable, but I don't think that code works, I think it may be a Samsung code to factory reset, which HTC doesn't have. Other codes like IMEI, INFO and CHECKIN work, but not the factory reset one, I don't think.

Also don't have root so I can't make a backup. If we had S-OFF, I would root, but don't want to void my warranty, with no way of turning back.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Unkjcr:
Hi there!

Since the JIT thing came out, i always had this doubt. And when i ask people about it, the answers are a little inconclusive. So, my doubt is: Is JIT a good thing to our phone, in particular to our processor? It makes the phone work faster?

Well, in my personal experience and using CM 6.1 in some points i would say yes, but in other i must say no. When i run the Quadrant Advanced test i get a better result with JIT on, but when i use some heavy apps (games for example) it lags more with JIT on than with it off. And the daily interaction with the phone is better when JIT is on too.

So, as a last resort i came to you people because i'am sure that you know the answers to my questions. :)

Thanks in advance. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Caticorn:
The only positive differences I've seen it make are with fractal rendering apps and benchtests, and it probably helps with audio/picture/video renderings as well.

I was having horrible battery consumption on my new G2 and it was because of the "Android System" as it states under Battery Consumption Settings in the "About Phone" Settings.

I decided to mess around with the system folders on my phone and change things and delete things that look fishy after a few people had thought that they were tough **** and knew that it was "OK" for the "Android System" to take up 68 to 70 percent of the battery.

I am now happy to report back that they were wrong and I am now averaging about 1 MA Discharge and am getting 11H 53M of use on one percentage point of battery while listening to Music on high end headphones for 2H, Connected to the internet to watch flash videos for 30M and another 30M of regular Facebook updates and internet usage.
