Here's a good discussion of refresh rate:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/280224-33-refresh-rate-gaming-60hz-75hz

BTW, I agree that making it adjustable with a default would be ideal.

Also BTW, what effect/impact does this have on the HDMI output?

[G Tablet General] bittrix:
Cool comparison - good work.

Movies: 24 FPS (often 23.976 or 25 depending on capture device - that's why converted video and audio sometimes go out of sync)

TV (NTSC color): 29.97 fps

If you set your camera on shutter priority, and use a longer exposure (1/30th or longer) the scanlines should vanish. Your camera was "catching" artifacts that are too brief for the eye to see.

For North American use, I suggest staying away from 60hz - too likely to pick up visual artifacts from 60Hz fluorescents - remember the flicker/headache problems caused by the 60Hz VGA monitors way back when... Changing them to 72Hz fixed most most of the issues.

I don't mind the 50Hz we have stock. Would rather concentrate on increasing the fps of the scrolling/UI stuff. Remember that the special effects at the movies look wonderful, and are presented with a ~24Hz refresh :D (except ImaxHD @ 48 fps)

Roebeet,

I would also like to see a Vegan specific 60 and 70hz update to try first hand.

You can tell us what to set permissions to.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's a few pages long, but here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=912197

I grabbed the 60 Hz version from gojimi, and he has a few other versions as well. The perms need to match what was there before, which on TnT Lite would be root.shell and 755.

[G Tablet General] GameDoctor:
PAL Video standard uses 50hz, popular in EU and parts of asia.

Likely just a forign engineer thinking of 50hz as a standard, as opposed to us in the US think of 60hz being a standard (NTSC 60hz).

What is more important is what works better...
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
You beat me to it. VS (USM) imported the malata and printed their name on it, didn't change anything that worked, hardware wise, and voila 50hz display.

Remember grilledcheeze

He came here with like 2 posts and he asked for help on making video for XDA tv

Nobody helped because it was, "fishy" that he only had 2 posts made

Turns out he was actually telling the truth

He is now on XDA tv
[Off-topic] GrilledCheze:
I smell like a fish!

Haha, that's right!

I thought the fact that I was a registered user since 2008 would have some merit - you know, prove that I only make quality posts and use the search feature a lot.

It all worked out in the end though! I'll be on here a lot more begging for people to be on my show, so be nice to me :D
[Off-topic] johnston9234:
hmm, you managed to get by with only the search feature?
[Off-topic] VeryCoolAlan:
Congrats!
[Off-topic] GrilledCheze:
Yup. And back then you had to register to be able to use the search feature. (Either that or I couldn't find it without registering which could have been a major possibility)

Although with my current phone I may have to start posting more as no one can figure out how to unlock it. (SC-02b - a galaxy s variant that isn't compatible with the unlock programs out there :( )
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Well done!

I saw your demo and I liked it, congratulations:)

Later when you settle on your new position we could talk about some joint venture;)

[Gen8 General] toyface:
Hello all,

I've been wanting a tablet for a long while now, and after some saving up I thought "why not?!" First of all I went for the Galaxy Tab on contract with lots of data, but I failed 3's credit check as they go through experian, and I have not a single credit card or debt to anyone, ergo no history, MAD that I was I cancelled my order and looked elsewhere.

Which led me to the Archos 101, which I have now purchased, with it being one of the only other real alternatives to a Galaxy tab IMO and it was only 250 from ebuyer for 8GB (Huge MicroSD) to come.

So, you should be seeing more of me around here :-)

First things first, leather case...
[Gen8 General] richdaley:
Welcome. You are better off with the Archos. This generation of these devices are more of a "proof of concept" type of thing. I just wanted to play and to see what it could do. I would avoid contracts on this generation because the next year is going to see a remarkable improvement in Android tablet technology.

Good Luck! It isn't perfect but I love my A70. I rarely use my smartphone or my laptop these days.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] geofferyh:
Can we standardize some basic information here. So far this is what has been portrayed as Firmware updates:

Firmware: deb-r2.1.1623

Firmware: deb-r2.1.1568

Firmware: deb-r2.1.1561

Firmware: deb-r2.1.1480

Firmware: deb-r2.1.1170 – Factory Installed

Therefore, can anyone

verify

, not make a guess or formulate an opinion, about the following:

1. Do asending numbered updates include and install any missing previous update? If "NO", do updates need to be installed in the order of release?

2. Is there a common location source for obtaining the update files?

3. Is there an official released update procedure document or PDF available to download?

I have written a lot of tech manuals and am re-writing the SuperPad Users Manual which I will make available for download. If I can get some good information on revision updates, I will write a procedure paper to cover the SuperPAD (Flytouch 2) Tablet PC.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Hi Guys,

I tought a simple and universal method to avoid WP7 relocking problem: edit the Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file on your pc after unlocking your device with CrevronWP7. Let me explain.

Technical explaination, you can skip to the next paragraph if you're not interested in

I used open source Network analyzer Wireshark on my pc to discover which domains Zune connect once a WP7 is connected via usb (while WiFi is off on the device).

They where:

developerservices.windowsphone-int.com

developerservices.windowsphone.com

catalog.zune.net (-> media info, covers, apps info etc...?)

socialapi.zune.net (-> Zune social access)

commerce.zune.net (-> Zune market access)

download.windowsupdate.com (-> updates check)

download.microsoft.com (-> updates check)

update.microsoft.com (-> updates check)

login.live.com (-> Live.com access)

Of course the first 2 domains are the ones responsible of the relock, they are also listed in each phone registry. Editing the Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file on your pc make your pc unable to connect to the real M$ servers, pointing it to your ip on the local loopback net (127.0.0.1) instead.

How to edit the file mentioned

Unlock your phone with Chevron before doing anything, then disconnect it from your pc. If it's already unlocked you can go on to the next step.

With text editors like Notepad or Notepad++ (absolutely NOT Wordpad or Word) open the

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc​

file on your pc. Eventually, modify "C" letter with the matching one of the partition where Windows system is. Check modify and write permissions for your user from file properties before, of course, otherwise you will not be able to save.

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone-int.com​

then save it and close the editor. Modify user permissions for the hosts file disabling write and modify capability, then reboot your pc.

Turn Off WiFi on your WP7 device before connect it to Zune, then Sync via usb. It should not relock anymore.

It's working fine on my LG Optimus 7 and HTC HD7 since I bought them, about a month ago (It's true that I am a registered student developer since January 7, but I never registered any phone of mine to AppHub). A friend of mine also tried this method and worked. A blog author I know is instead having troubles with his Omnia 7, his phone is still relocking.

I need some feedback from you, xda members. Try this method and report your impressions in this topic! ;)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] clfosk:
Does not work for my Samsung Focus. I did everything listed but it still relocks every time I connect to the Zune software.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Mmm I suppose it's a samsung devices problem...

Could you please download and install Wireshark? I need some network dumps!

If you or someone else is interested in testing, I'll post detailed instructions...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] clfosk:
Just installed Wireshark. What do I do now?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xmckinzie:
This didn't work on my Samsung Focus. The best way to prevent it was to put it in Airplane mode before connecting to computer, then disabling airplane mode when I disconnect from computer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Well, once Wireshark opens you have to select the Network card you use to connect to the internet with your pc.

Under the "Capture" and "Interface list" titles (on the left) you can find a list, be sure to click on the right one.

(Remember to close the browser or other apps accessing the internet while you are dumping packages on the network.)

Open Zune, the connect the phone. Wait until the phone relocks, then stop live capture in WireShark.

To save the dump, click on

File -> Save​

and choose a name and a position on your Hard Disk (saving as .pcap is fine).

Upload it somewhere (on this forum is fine, too) and post the link in this thread ;)

Any volunteer could do the same!

For security reasons, please don't use your browser or any other program to log in with your Username and password anywhere on the net while dumping!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
I also have a samsung focus and this did not work for me either...what would it matter what device we are using if they all connect to that domain using zune? After editing the host file and then going back and unlocking device then going back in to the host file wpd shows back up:

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone-int.com

192.168.1.64	developerservices.windowsphone.com

and in the firewall it says that zune is not enabled but says to allow?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] isavoro:
may you please tell us what WP7 device do you have? I own an LG Optimus 7 and it worked for me too. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Well, I tought this method would be device-indipendent, too, but Samsung users are still having issues while on LG, HTC and (probably) Dell is working fine. Maybe they use another subdomain on Microsoft's servers? I dunno.

BTW, you have to unlock the device BEFORE following this tutorial, otherwise ChevronWP7 changes that file adding an unwanted line at the end.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Onecar:
Here on HTC HD2 your fix is not working. Just tested and my apps are locked again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] whitehooptie:
HD2 WP7 no workie. As a matter of fact with the host file edited, Chevron crashes when you hit unlock. I changed the file back to point to my PCs IP and all is well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
yes i did have mine unlocked...but i found a simpler way to keep from unlocking with registry editor
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gropich:
for me,for the moment it works.. i unlocked my HD7 (with hard reset before cause was impossible to re-unlock) and after your tweak my phone is always unlocked :p

Speriamo che dura e che continua cosi,mi vedo male resetare tutto ogni volta :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DanielNTX:
Interesting, but I have a different method from my thread over in the HD2 forum:

I haven't had it relock on me yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Well, the problem seems simple to me: who modifies the

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"

registry values on the phone will not be able to use the trick I posted in this thread to avoid relocking...

Reverting back to the original values will solve the problem! Thanks DanielNTX!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Fabri181818:

Samsung Devices

Those of you with Samsung devices can go to the link and install this xap and it will remove the sideload limit and also keeps your device from relocking everytime you sync with Zune. Great tool! I used it on my Focus and works perfectly. Its call RR (Restriction Removal) tool.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] christopher1973:
The problem is you have to save for overwriting the hosts.when u make shure that zune or what never be able overwrite the host,the reunlock never happend again
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
That's really simple: just modify file properties blocking Write mode for all users, as told in the first post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
Thanks for the info but its alot easier to use the registry edit app and add the values to the registry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
This way, the values you put into the registry could be deleted with a simple upgrade, if they are in the hosts file they can't we overwritten in a simple way by Microsoft.

Also, not all WP7 have access to the registry editor yet: LG and Dell (if I'm not wrong) smartphones, for example. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] timmymarsh:
Hey there,

I can confirm that this works perfectly on my HTC HD2 WP7 ;)

Just gotta remember to turn off wifi (or enter airplane mode) before docking (connecting).

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MixerNoMore:
I'm happy to go forward and test this, but I'm just wondering (and this might be a lame n00b question): why not (also) delete it from the phone?

Or have I already done this when I installed WP7 on my HD2?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Well, the problem was that not all the phones could access and modify registry until yesterday. ;)

Now HTC, Samsung and Lg registries can be modified with Advanced Configuration Tool. Dunno about Dell. So the strings involved can be modified directly into the phones now, but - after that - you have to install a new certificate for the 127.0.0.1 domain.

My tweak, listed in the first post of this thread, is (in my humble opinion) easier and lasts after an upgrade of the firmware, too.

Ok, two more questions: can I delete the original line: 192.***.178.**	developerservices.windowsphone.com ?

In other words: replace that line with the ones you mentioned?

Also, won't Microsoft block it again when you login to some Zune/Marketplace service from your phone itself?

LEO70 kept on locking when connecting to Zune all the time. But till now I just disabled my network connection before connecting my phone to my laptop through USB and haven't had any problems with it relocking sinze.

Excuse my n00biness: just trying to learn. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Yes, you have to replace that line!

I haven't experienced any relock connecting from the phone to Zune/Marketplace yet... I assume it only happens when connecting the phone to the pc client. I'll check with Wireshark, anyway! ;) Nice suggestion, thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] movan:
Yesterday, tried to do this unlock.

My device (HD2 WP7) was unlocked using Chevron but sometimes I need to relock and unlock once more. I made all modifications with register on device (chages with *.unlock.me) and deployed using HTC deployer. All perfect, reboot phone, and now I can't unlock my device. Trying to do this using Chevron and see only one message - Error with zune or pin. Before register fix Chevron works perfect!

Anybody can answer how to solve this problem? All installed soft wants to be uninstalled and not running, because phone is locked now. :( :( And now I cant run any game or programm, cant install anything using Tom XAP Installer.

Help to solve this, or the one solving is phone reset? Thanx.

How have you tried to unlock? Take a look at your hosts file (as in my guide) and tell me what you get........might be better to post in my thread so not to derail this thread ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Well, the problem is the registry mod that changes developerservices.windowsphone.com and developerservices.windowsphone-int.com with *.unlock.me

Restore the original values and delete the lines in the first post of this thread from your hosts file. Reboot your pc and unlock with Chevron, then apply my tweak and reboot again.

After this, the phone will be fine ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cremains:
I've got an LG Quantum. Not working for me. It locks again.

Have you disabled modify and writing permissions on your hosts file and then rebooted your pc before syncing again your phone with Zune?

I have the LG Optimus 7 (E900) and I followed the guideline and I also can't manage to have the phone locked for long.

Morpheus90 I sent you a Private Mail regarding this today. Can you please help me out?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Hi TripleMPower,

to answer your questions, I use Windows 7 to unlock, but any other version equal or superior to XP Sp3 is fine, too! Also, the unlock guide said the phone should be in airplane mode, but I had no problems keeping 3g data connection on (in Italy, with Vodafone).

Solving your problem shouldn't be hard. Follow the following instructions to restore the phone to the unlocked status:

1. Restore write and modify permissions on the hosts file, than delete

all

lines referred to developerservices.windowsphone-int.com and developerservices.windowsphone.com from it. Save, close the editor and reboot your pc.

2. Once the computer boots, connect your phone via USB and sync with Zune, than unlock with Chevron.

3.

Immediately

disconnect your phone without syncing again, then apply my tweak to the hosts file and reboot the pc.

4. Now you are free to sync while your phone is in airplane mod with your pc, without relock danger.

Hope this helps!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Well, you have to unlock it first for sure... :/

Do the points 1 and 2 listed in the post above.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TripleMPower:
I am going to give it a shot again bro.

So you suggest I switch to aeroplane mode when trying to unlock the phone and then stay in aeroplane mode when using your mode to remain unlocked and also when deploying apps to the phone.

By the way, if we deploy games and stuff will microsoft ban our gamertag? Is there a way we can change the gamertag now or do we have to reset the phone to do that?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TripleMPower:
It worked!

I was able to sideload 10 programs without problems. However after intalling 10 programs I am unable to deploy anymore programs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Morpheus90:
Use Advanced Configuration Tool for this ;)

Well, I don't know if Microsoft actually bans gamertags if you deploy free xbox games to your phone...

But I'm a developer, so I can suggest/remember everyone one thing for sure: never use warez. It's a HUGE damage, expecially for indipendent developers, not paid and supported by large companies (like I am).
