[Touch HD General] kidcash:
Hi,

I've tried NEO's driver pack, doesn't seem to help, it was a cab file that I installed, I think it said that those drivers dont improve video playback but are more for improving touchflo and 3d performance? i may be wrong.

That program encoded to AVC I don't think it used WMV (or is it pretty much the same codec?).

Just wondering how do Radio ROMS affect the video playback? I thought the radio rom is for the Phone/GPRS operation?

Also how do tweaks on ROMS affect the playback, I thought it was limited to that the processor simply cannot do the work to make the video play smooth as there doesn't seem to be any dedicated graphics/video chip? Do chefs do tweaks on how the OS uses it's memory? Just wondering what sort of tweaks they are but this might not be a simple answer.

I'm surprised how xvid @ 1000k plays well on your blackstone, hmm. Seems my playback method on coreplayer is "QTV" is that the video accelerator on the Qualcomm Chipset ?

xvid video at 830k at 608 x 400 plays borderline on my blackstone on coreplayer, when Panning on movies it jerks. 1778 frames played, dropped 551.

I would have thought preffer less buffering over smooth video would make the video rougher? going to the description of that option.

I tried ticking those options you suggested, they only slightly improve the playback, however i tried this suggestion from another thread :

"For touch HD, just tick "Disable AVC Deblocking" at advanced tab, "soft drop tolerance" to 0.3 sec, and let other settings defaults. Enjoy your hardware-like video player."

Seems to help the most out of any suggestion but still jerks sometimes.

I'll look into winmospeed to see if it can do anything to speed up my video playback and my device, but not sure how the Qaulcomm CPU copes with overclocking, especially stability and reliability.

What is a safe speed to run at?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
which driver pack to use depends on which rom you are using, some roms already come with a driver pack and installing another one makes the device slower rather than faster. the drivers, as you correctly pointed out, generally affect the 3d performance, however, it is about hardware acceleration and some players use hardware acceleration, which should be the same chip, the gpu.

you might be right, the program might encode in avc, just had a brief look at the screenshot, and as you mentioned windows media player, which supports almost no codecs i just assumed, it would go for wmv. as already pointed out, i don't encode my files for the phone. too much work for watching once. instead of re-encoding, i could watch them on the pc instead.

radio roms don't affect video playback directly. they do more than just handling phone calls and wireless communications though, radios are the bridge between the winmo OS and the hardware, so also bluetooth, wi-fi, camera, sound and many more things are influenced. but most of all i mentioned it, because i went through a lot of roms recently, beginning with the latest orange uk stock rom and on every single one of them i experienced an improvement in performance, when i used the newest radio 1.17.25.09 with them, with corresponding rilphone. many cooked roms have specific rilphone versions cooked in, and the radio should match for the entire device to work properly.

as i have never cooked a rom, i certainly can't tell you any of the chefs' secrets, but i assume it takes a lot of work and tweaking, to make new builds and sense versions run properly on this rather slow device. many chefs point out to have compressed a lot of graphic files and optimized cache sizes, pagepool...

some of these tweaks can also be altered with hdtweak.

at the moment i use tcpmp cooked into the energy rom and i believe avc deblocking was ticked by default, or else i would have mentioned it, but i also read before, that it should stay ticked on for better performance.

for winmospeed i mostly set it to level 32 or 33 while playing 3d hd2 games, which are generally very slow on the blackstone. having it permanently set to level 33 causes the phone to freeze sometimes, so that speed seems to be the borderline.

if nothing else helps (and that included trying other roms), you could also disable sense, when you watch videos, if it is so important to you. when watching tv shows or movies, you are not using sense for a rather long time anyway and it really hogs ram and cpu.
[Touch HD General] raving_nanza:
agreed.. level 33 = 633mhz is borderline..

a hell of a lot faster than normal 528mhz!

set to level 33 does make the device crash sometimes but not often, i personaly recomend level 33 regardless..

1/10 times it will crash, in my experience its on device first boot after customisation. soft reset and all is ok.

it could be my rom though haha - i joke! ;)

overclocking is completely safe dude, already read up on this before i even tried it when it was released.. so to save you reading, just download it, its worth it ;)

lol, in that case dissable everything thats running to free up all your memory :D

*of headf*cks and facepalms! :D haha

i honestly thought you was a chef untill i seen that, ya got the perfect name though :rolleyes:

Hey so I when I was flashing to a rom that I found, my phone just boots and shows the Windows Mobile Welcome Screen, but it does not do anything else beyond that. I need to find the buttons to get to the BOOTLOADER screen. This is my first post, I am sorry if I am in the wrong place. Thank You<3~
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sportsguy15:
So, whenever I reboot into Recovery, the white HTC logo pops up, and then fades to black.

From what I've read online, there is a glitch with SLCD screens and CWM.

I've noticed that I can luckily still flash roms. I just have to select "Install Rom from SD Card" from within Rom Manager, and then the phone reboots, goes black... and in a few minutes everything is done. Would be awesome to be able to see the progress.

Anyone know what's up?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sportsguy15:
So I take it no one else has had this problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I have asked you three times now... How did you root the phone, what rom are you running... and so forth.........
[HTC Inspire 4G] androidcues:
No I don't have that prob. But try hitting the menu button when in recovery. It shows the update and when u hit menu again it clears out. If not menu try the other buttons on your screen. See if u can get the thing to switch out... see an update bar etc.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
So my setup. SGS I9000 with JPY 2.2.1 and speedmod K13c.

I have 2 wifi routers, tried to setup one as a repeater but that didnt go well. And I have no idea which mode it is now. But this is what I have:

2 wifi signals (same network, different IP 192.168.1.1 as gateway 1 and 192.168.1.10 gateway 2) on the same channel with the same name (different mac) . This is kinda the only way those 2 wifi routers like each other and worked well before.

Android sees (or should) only one wifi with the stronger signal. And this worked AWESOME some time connecting to the stronger signal almost instantly when it was available (not sure if it was on the stock kernel or there was something else to it too like the 2.1 ROM)

Now it sticks to the signal it gets first. Both routers have strong antennas means I can see the most of the time both (in a third party APP, like wifi analyzer) .

Problems start on the toilette.(Dont judge me :P) There I can still see signal from the first floor, but the better router is like 2m away. AND IT WONT SWITCH TO IT. I kinda have to put the phone into my pants and hide it with my hands so it looses the connection and connects to the better router. Also when I go up.

(Its not nice, but I guess better as to run a third party app, I dont like to have it running)

My Hero doesnt have the problems (maybe cuz his wifi antenna is weaker :) )

So to my question. Leaving the setup I have now. How to change how the android wifi behaves? Meaning it wont stick to the soo much weaker signal (before dying making me "retry" press on every site few times and soo slow)

and makes the switch to a better signal.

Thanks for any answer :)

(Sorry if doubleposting, am too old for searching. (Nah kidding I did some research before))
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
Configure your repeater properly, that issue have nothing to do with your SGS. Actualy your SGS act precisely how it should, due to your actual setup.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
yay, such a good helper.

First: As I said. The two wifi routers wont work well together. (means I dont have a repeater)

Second: The question wasnt about my setup and how to "fix" it. It was how I can tweak the wifi settings. Now I know there are apps that can do this. I asked if I cant change something in the settings.

Anyway thanks for the reply :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
Sound you get me wrong...

My point is you can't acheive what you want, since it only work (the way you need it..) with a repeater. About tweaking your wifi setup, i think, you'll have a better answer on a dedicated "wifi" forum, according to your hardware.

Do some google search on DDRT or tomato.

I just give you a fact, sorry if you're not happy with it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Well I would take it as a fact if I didn't know everything is possible :) . Was thinking about some settings change to how to prefer a network.

Anyway might not be possible NOW, so I did it with Wi-Fi manager and 2 network Widgets and changed the name of the network. If anyone has a better idea I am open for it . And thanks again. :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I would just leave it at 998. You really don't notice that much of an extra boost by overclocking IMO. You can underclock, I had mine at 768 and didn't notice any slowdown, but can't say it helped battery life tremendously. Try out what you want and take note of your findings. See what combination works best for you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctinsley:
Defaults are actually pretty good. However if you want to increase your battery life look at some of the other kernels out there. I've choosen Chad's incredikernel. It charges up very fast and has a min CPU of 128 which improves the battery life when the screen is off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribbey:
yeah i have the incredikernal on my computer ready to put on my SD card cause ive seen pretty much everything good about that one but then i also see everyone saying that kernals dont really show a difference.. i guess my only option to do is try it out and see where it takes me...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timalisul:
Hello all

I have T-mobile HTC mytouch google phone that I bought on eBay several months ago. When I bought it had firmware 2.1 update-1. I contacted T-mobile because I am not getting the 2.2 update for Android and they mentioned that the software on the phone is not the original phone software. They had 1.6 on these phones when they first came out and they upgraded directly to 2.2.

I need to run a flash application that needs 2.2 installed on my phone. How can I get the original software back on the phone (I tried factory reset and it restart the phone but does not do anything) or how do I upgrade to 2.2 to run the app I need.

Your help would be appreciated.

[HTC Inspire 4G] yg17:
On my Nexus One, when I was inside and couldn't get GPS lock, and also out of range of WiFi networks, Google Maps would still get a rough location based off the cell tower. It was good enough for the weather widget to get my current location and to use Google Maps to find stuff around me.

Now, on my Inspire (rooted with the Desired HD Euro rom), I can't do that. If I can't get GPS lock, and WiFi is off or I'm out of range, it just says my location is temporarily unavailable. It's not locating me from the cell tower like my N1 is. I have the option checked in the location settings to use networks, but it's still not working. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks.

Well I wouldn't even mention to your phone carrier that you tried to manually update to an early "leaked" 2.2 froyo update. They will probably charge you even more if you tell them what you did. Take it to them so that they can unbrick your Zio.

Instead create some crazy story that makes sense and hopefully that you have insurance and warranty for your Zio.

I did however have a problem with a battery of mine just recently. I think it was due to the millions of charge/discharge cycles I had put it through and the massive amounts of tethering which caused it to heat up.

What happened was that it swelled up to the point where the back cover wouldn't fit on anymore lol. So Verizon sent me a "like-new phone" (aka refurb) and since they didn't have a stock battery they're sending me an extended battery and battery cover. ;)
