Anyway to fix the DirectDraw problem on WM6 phones!!!!

ok well i have the sprint touch... and i love to slingbox to it. THe sports are really choppy but i mean im getting a 300-500 kpbs connection all the time. So i know the speed is fine. I set motion to high on the settings, but... still its rlly choppy. I heard it was a directdraw problem, and is there anyway to fix it. Possibly on the Slingbox end or? what? or spm program, or a hack to wm6 to make it go to another codec, or just a fix in general for wm6??? anyone???

Buy a phone not made by a garbage company like HTC.

I we think HTC are so crap, then buy something else, iPhone or even Nokia! Then see how much fun you don't have messing with it!

I wish that I could be as smart as you. Too bad you don't know that it was HTC who decided not to include the correct drivers with their WM6 phones.
Please don't make me teach you the differences between GSM and CDMA networks.

I am not getting into a discussion over this!!! What I was saying is that there are so many people complaining about HTC yet we all still have them so we must like them.
Either stop winging about it and accept that HTC have got a number of things wrong or go and get something else!!

So if you have a girlfriend and that you didn't know was a ***** before she became your girlfriend, you still have to like her?
No way man.. I'll f*ck with her as much as I want then I'm getting a new one. LOL
Same goes with my phone.

Um, you can mod the iPhone and it's amazing. Blows my slow Tilt away. Glad I use both cause this Tilt is the size and shape of what its almost good for. Paper weight!

Back to the topic at hand...
I don't know how the encoding of the slingbox works, and if you can modify the encoding settings, but i managed to stream from via VLC with the following scenario:
My Dreambox -> My PC (VLC Transcoding to qVga) -> Internet -> WiFi -> HTC Herald (VLC Client).
I don't remember the bitrate when i tested it, but my connection at home caps at 256Kb upload, so that means the stream was on a somewhat lower bitrate.
If you can modify the Slingbox encoding settings and play with them, maybe drop the quality somewhat shouldn't you be able to view the stream?
ps. if something above doesn't make sense, i just woke up

lul @ gay..
dude, there's golden era ppc world besides htc stuff, too.
problem is, that usually, htc machines are crap with omap or samsung cpus.
all bout that.

It seems like my (newish) HTC Touch Rom with WM6.1 doesn't use DirectDraws at all.
I did some remote debugging on it, and while I am not a mobile programmer all indications were that this was a sigificant change from WM 6.0. (I.e. call stacks during video playback newer show directDraw, while in the past they did).
Personally I really like my Vogue. It seems to get the most trash talk of all of the HTC's, but it works for my needs tastes better than anything else I have owned.
To be fair, my last phone was back in the WM5 days, so that last statement is not exactly a fair coparison.

For a senior member on a site biased to modding, that was such a stupid answer.
Do you give that answer to everyone out their who wanted TouchFlo 3d on their NOT-HTC device
or maybe your wanting to send me the $1400 (nzd) needed for xperia, if so cough up, or maybe just read the post again, i have a htc touch dual, not a friggin xperia and all i want is a good music media app that is good and ascetically pleasing and the xperia has that pegged, and if you read my post again you will see i just want the media app, i dont want the panels or the haptic touch screen or the large bulk or that device, i just want the software which this website has proven time and time again that their is always some smart cookie who can supply the deman.
btw if i had the money for xperia, i would buy an android device. and veer entirely away from WinMo and Apples bastardized leopard port.

jealous anyway, google.com I've seen some pages over there

What do you want after all? The Media panel (Not as a panel, of course) or the Windows Media Player (Black with the Blue buttons - what's so special about it? I think it comes with every WM, right?)

kinda

Thats the hard thing iv read about it, even seen vids about it, but they are few and far between, its like im the only one intrigued by the music player, heres a quote from Mobile tech review
"The Sony Ericsson Xperia, rather than slumming it with Windows Media Player Mobile, adds its own media player, accessible as a panel. This looks just like the media player on the Sony PSP and high end Sony Ericsson feature phones like the K850i and walkman phones. It handles photo viewing, video playback and music playback. We particularly like the music player, whose look, feel and features are top notch"
Any way just open up your Xperia, go into the music panel and their it is, the music player!!

If you mean this, thats `s the SE Media Panel. You can search for it as a cab and try it yourself. I don`t no if this works on a non Xperia.

If you'd of just searched through the internet and xda for the media panel you wouldnt have needed to start a thread about it in the first place - maybe you should do that in the future since those were the answers you got...

It is PEACH. Sometimes. I'm ok with the panel when it's plain blue but I think it changes backgrund color on a schedule. ?? At least I cannot find any settings or way to disable... peach.
It's also sort of oversensitive on the metatagging thing. My music library is in perfect order when I browse the library in the plain windows mobile player, no unknown artists or albums or whatsoever. The panel library always find some tags I didn't know are there - and I run the albums both in Mp3 tagger and Ashampoo music studio before I synch to the device.
Point is: don't have too high expectations, it's not that good.

wrong again

No you misunderstood yet again, but thats okay you probably just "donated' your way into being a senior member, i All i knew is that xperia had panels and a cool looking media player, i didnt no wat is was called and everytime i searched google i got naught, the closest i got was a a mod for the HTC touch PRO HD, which if u knew your sh!t wud no that it wudnt work on my htc touch dual becaus i have a vga screen as a the HD has a WVGA HD screen, i dont want the panels application, i just want the Sony ericson music player application and that previous poster kinda lead me on a red herring, please just bow out now, go find sum other person to say dumb **** too, and keep donating kuz mayb ull ba a moderator one day..,.

exekias, do you really think someone on this xda community will help you with that attitude?

Will WP7 play WMV or DivX files?

Sorry, I had to ask. It's not something I've heard mentioned, and before coming to WM6.5 from Symbian, I simply assumed it could play WMV (and DivX) files.
Does anyone have any insight into this seemingly simple question?

ZuneHD supports wmv and xvid* so I would assume yes!

Sorry, I wasn't being sarcastic. Am I the only person in the the world who thinks that a windows mobile product should be able to play windows media files?

dude what's your problem bro? Our friend here is inquiring about WM7, not 8! Please don't misled our friend about the mystical WM8.
and besides, WM7 comes in 5 different flavors, and one of them will have ending world poverty function as well as IM chat with aliens from the Andromeda galaxy (which so happens to be the name of HTC's next, next, next super phone).
Coincidence?! I think not.

WM6.5 can play WMV files. I would be very surprised if WP7 can't. Divx and xvid are less certain, but I think I heard somewhere that Zune has recently acquired support for those formats, so I think there's hope.

It plays xvid but not perfect.

OMG I just held the EVO!! Possible System Dump!!

Some girl at my job had the Evo 4G and I played around with it for a bit. She's had it for like almost a month now. Here are some pics.
I shot a video with my iPhone. I couldn't navigate through the phone that long being that I was almost stunned and just admiring the hardware. It's really solid and feels good in your hands. I have big hands so it wasn't too huge for me. I saw the video quality of the movie "BadAss" and it was sick how the video continued to play in the background while I was looking at other things. No hiccups at all. Very fast.
The maps app rendered really fast and you don't see what you normally see on the iPhone (checkered squares)
Major complaint is all the finger prints but that should be corrected with an Anti Glare type screen protector.
*** I also shot a video on my iPhone. I'll go down later and take more detailed pics. Send me any questions that weren't answered and I'll dig around the phone and answer them for you. ***

Nice pics.......man you are lucky , how's the onsceen keyboard? How's the tacticle feedback?

system dump would be great..

***Tell me how to do a system dump on a Mac and I'll do it today*** If anything I'll borrow my friends windows laptop. Tell me which programs I'll need.
Also I didn't get to play with keyboard. I'll mess around with it today in a bit.

wow man you are lucky!. What does your friend do that she had the phone for a month?

Wow awesome! lucky!

download Astro File Manager from the market, choose the home icon in the upper left, then push the "up" icon..you should then be in your phones "root".
Then long press on the system folder and choose edit/copy. Copy that to your sdcard, then from your comp. zip it, n upload it to a file sharing site of your choice. I dunno if this'll help expedite any dev work but it can't hurt to have on hand..(devs please input if more is necessary or desired)

system dump would ROCK ! hard !! would make speeding up rooting this beauty a lot faster

Put it in noob terms because I plan to do this in 15 minutes.

Use a file manager on the phone (Astro File Manager or EStrongs File manager) and first make a folder on the SD card called "dump".
Then navigate all the way up to where it sees all of the files and directories on the phone (just push "up" until it can't go up any further).
EDIT: Make sure and go to settings and select "show hidden files"!
Then "select all" and the copy everything to the "dump" folder that you made previously.
Copy that folder to your desktop computer.
Zip it up with WinZip or WinRAR, and then post it here.
It may be small enough to attach to a post but you may have to upload it to a file hosting site like "rapidshare" or "MegaUpload".

But on a Serious note, yeah a system Dump would be so so awesome. Would get porting started for lots of devices like the HD2.
Keeping fingers crossed for you , hope you get it

Can't ur gf get a HTC PRO THREE?

I couldn't dump. I tried to dump on a friends SD card but I was getting an error. I followed the directions to the T. The SD card I was using was from my friends Blackberry. I'm guessing it was some kind of formatting issue. I tried 3 times and couldn't get it to work. I'll try again later hopefully if she's still here. She's saying she's going to return the phone to her BF today.

Some video in browser very"shoky"

Allright, I was drinking with my friends tonight. Showing off my new cell offcourse. I wanted to show them something nice...
I opened www.xhamster.com(not the mobile version) and wanted to start a vid, it started but the vid was really not smooth, it jumped from one shot to another altough it was loaded far from where it started.
My friend laughs and said let me trey it, and his desire could open it with no problem... I tried other browsers like dolphin, butt still the same problem.
Can someone check this? or do you have a solution;
I don't now any website with this problem and playing vid like that, so sorry if it is not an approprate website, was just for fun.
edit: i changed the title, because it wouldn't be fair to say Videos, that is not the truth.

Wait, this phone can't browse Xhamster? In that case there's no way it can be the best Android phone.

hmmm strange, I tried and yes it is the only flash based video that it doesnt play smooth and I have tried a lot of websites.

Agreed, I urge that the OP promptly take his phone out to the field and "Office Space" that pos.
Seriously, have you tried any other websites? Everything else, including Youtube, plays flash videos flawlessly.

I knew from the moment I posted this I would get reactions abouth the site.
Allright so when you're done laughing like little girls... can you check the technical details behind this, why it does not work like other flash? It's just that it looked really stupid next to my friends pretty old desire??
Also when on a site like that, or no, I will take another example. Youtube(not mobile) it's not smooth to move arround, especially when zoomed in, some pictures and the video, jump from here to there...
