From one of our many resources hidden deep within the “bush” we bring to you a spreadsheet with some handy info on it… All the specs, names and chipsets of the upcoming HTC releases.
WMPoweruser.com reported earlier on the leaked releases of these, but now we get to see some more names and specs. Its good to see the Thoth and Whitestone… And Seeing all the Windows Mobile 6.1 out there makes me think that they are coming out soon. I am very curious about the Star and SuperStar… And I am VERY intrigued by the NVIDIA AP16 chipset. It is also good to see all the WVGA screens coming out, but I’d like to see more storage/RAM and more speed out there like the Thoth! Stay tuned for some more great phones coming out!

I know also a guy here who photoshoped the blackstone with a builtin keyboard ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437646 ) . Now all the pics are on the net in different forums under the name LEAKED and COMING SOON... I learned not to hope for anything in the future until it is officially stated.... DO you really care for the moment about models in the upcoming 2-3 years ?

here's the main superstar & Nvidia thread (2/20/09): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495830

Video Encoding HD2

Ok...
I have some important news for all those wanting to transfer videos across to the HD2.
Firstly and for some reason we all probably all realise now the screen resolution 800x480 is not supported by the graphics chip on video playback. i.e. I have found all my ipod/iphone encoded videos work so much better on the HD2 both with the embedded video player and also TCMP which I have as a stand alone video player. The maximum encoding for the ipod is 640x480.
Any-time I encoded at 800x480 I have always had problems of stuttering and pixelation and framming. Instead encode your movies at what the maximum ipod/iphone settings is at which is 640x480 someone please correct me if I am wrong.
The TCMP plays them smoothly with the -200ms audio delays setting to get the video and audio in sync whilst the embedded video player also plays them very smoothly albeit with the slight audio sync issue but you can zoom in and out now..
It seems just like the audio player which looks like an ipod/iphone copy the embedded video player is very much a copycat of the ipod/iphone video player with support only being what the max ipod video setting is at.
I guarantee this works for all your videos, etc. It's becoming more obvious that the software engineers at HTC used the iphone video/audio software and ported it across to the HTC whilst not utilising the bigger resolution which is a real shame.
Curious to hear what others think...feel free to reply with the above settings..

Yup can now confirm the 640x480 encoding resolution works and works bloody fast on the HD2 video is flying along and very smooth too. By the way the audio is nice and loud too as well..
Hope this helps others users wanting to watch a nice movie on their HD2.
Furthermore, the audio/video sync issues with the standard embedded video player are now very difficult to notice... I have watched a few videos now they seem very close but need others to confirm on this..

Maybe you should do a search for the video encoding threads in the Leo section...we've been playing 800x480 videos just fine for sometime already. Need to set a delay to compensate for the audio sync...but otherwise it's pretty good.

Disagree....the 800x480 works but with stuttering and glitching. This method above does NOT produce any glitch or framing or pixelation. The method above produces stunning quality video which is very fast and does not frame...
Try it for yourself...
I am starting to believe that HTC are aware of this but advertise the unit on the screen resolution thereby confusing users that they should encode their videos at this maximum resolution. This does not work but instead encoding them for the ipod/iphone screen resolution works with fluid video even in very fast scenes and clear loud audio which looks to me to be very in sync.
Please don't throw the topic off with an unnecessary post...

Hehe...if you believe so strongly, then I won't do anything to change your mind.
I've personally done a ton of 800x480 videos converted from HD videos, and they play great. But since you believe what you are doing is the only correct method, then don't change....self belief is very important. All I can say is that we've owned the HD2 much earlier, and have tested many ways to get video working the best way it can. However, if offering an alternative is wrong just because you feel your way is the only way, then I apologize.
However, if you're open to other possibilities, I would suggest doing a search on video encoding in the HD2 Themes and Apps subforum....you might be pleasantly surprised. I myself have posted rather often in several video encoding threads there, but I'm not so shameless to do any self promotion.
Cheers and good luck!

Ok....here's one of my past encodes.

kenkiller said:
For me, i use Winmenc...currently at 0.81 iirc. You can find it easily via Google.
it's a tad complicated at first, i've attached a couple of profiles below if you wish to try, just unzip into the profiles folder on Winmenc.
One uses the baseline profile, this allows videos to show up in the HTC Album. The other doesn't, for videos you don't wish others to view easily.
Of course, the usual caveats come in, if you wish to get a high quality encoding, garbage in = garbage out, so decent HD media is a plus. So far I've not seen the need to go above 2000kbps for video. Setting to process priority to highest and multithreading to 2, I can get realtime 1:1 encoding via 1-pass from my slowpoke AMD dualcore for 720p videos. 2-pass and/or 1080p media will obviously require more time.
@Shawn_230, let's start over again.
First, that encoder you're using has a bitrate limitation, making even HD encodes no better than a tiptop dvd encode. The resolution is there, but the bitrate can't do the resolution justice. Also, it doesn't seem to do higher processor priority and multithreading, which would account for your sluggish encoding time.
I am in the process of uploading an avi dvdrip (that being the usual trend in dvdrips these days) and it's corresponding HD encode in mp4 format. Also, one very important reason for transcoding is that due to the myriad video codecs out there, there will be a time when you encounter a certain video that doesn't play on the HD2, regardless of the player used. That's when encoding will come in useful.
Meanwhile here's 2 screensnaps of the video I'm uploading...
This is the SD screenshot.

South Korean TV dock looks AWESOME. WHERE THE F IS OURS?

I'm gettin sick of this crap. Give us the watered down products, and the rest of the world what we want in the first place, RIGHT?
There's a new TV dock for the galaxy S in south korea, comes with small keyboard, and controller.
Will we ever get one? If we can get our hands on the dock, could it work with our phones?

here's the engadget article:

There's a few reasons for this. Samsung is a Korean company, of course they'd give their own people things first. That dock is specific for the Korean phone, and in Korea there is a domestic satellite TV service, called T-DMB, their cellphones and other devices receive giving more incentive for a device like this.

what's your point? you don't need hdmi for 720p content, and these phones have the capability, they just need the software.

Well samsung is a south korean company, makes sense they get stuff before we do.

Unless you are already bringing viewing resolution considerably lower, of course it matters.
What in the world do you mean by a statement like that that? NTSC video is 720 x 480 at 60i. 720p is 1280 x 720 at 30p or 24p or 60p.
You can do very well with component or even S video (if you can still find it, they have all but killed it off) out for 720p content, but if you are talking about composite ("yellow cable"), I firmly disagree.
The instances where HDMI can be substituted are fairly few, and exceptionally so in consumer video. It is digital, bundles audio on one cable, and is high bandwidth. The only thorn is HDCP.
Saying you don't need HDMI for HD content is almost like saying you don't need cinema when there is VHS.
But then perhaps I am missing your point. I have yet to try it, but perhaps thee most practical way to play video from these phones is to mount them as disks and play the file themselves through a player without involving video transfer at all. Is that what you meant?
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

I've used the 3 RCA (2 audio, one video) into one 3.5mm jack cable on my omnia 2, and camera. 720P isn't THAT high resolution, and it can be displayed fairly decently through this cable. not only this, but most modern tvs can mount the phone as a USB drive and just play the video directly.

the tv dock is one of those "will be available with froyo" things.
being a cable guy i cant let the incorrect statements about video go un answered. you CANNOT get hidef out of a base band (rca, yellow) cable. period end of story. the limitation is the tv input. ALL base band inputs are 480i. s-video is 480p. component will dispay at 1080i and hdmi at 1080p. component and hdmi are the only inputs that will accept hidef signals. some cable companies and broadcast stations offer hidef which uses the f-connector. the reason for this aception is the tuner. rca, component, hdim and svideo are display inputs. the fconnector goes to a tuner.

Why is Samsung not Patenting

Why is Samsung not patenting all sorts of crazy or imaginative ideas. Google has for example,a small measure of augmented reality in google maps.It's not full navigation on augmented reality mode. Other companies have augmented reality full navigation, without maps.Now Apple has mix matched the two and patented augmented reality navigation within a map.They took the two ideas and merged them. Google map without augmented reality + navigation in augmented reality without map = map with augmented reality.
How they were even granted this patent is a mystery because it's nothing innovative.
Given the broken patent system,i wonder why others don't patent gestures, names, imaginations from star war films, just incase some one steps on them in the future.That's basically what apple is doing and it makes no sense that such non innovative mix matching should warrant a patent.
I need to investigate what it takes to patent because maybe I should go into the business as I believe I have lots of crazy ideas which could be done on mobile.
Why don't others patent if they will be granted patents for obvious things like a TV with 4 corners? Why they don't patent all shapes and sizes,5 corners,6, circular etc.

Samsung is the company with the most mobile communication related patents in the world, they have at least ten times more patents than apple in this area.

lol Just because Samsung don't do an Apple and cry + sue over every patent other companies infringe on, doesn't mean they don't have patents. They are the company with the biggest patent portfolio in the world.
Just bought their SmartTV....it is just astounding. No TV comes anywhere close to this. I can skype on my sofa and video call them from my SOFA. Love it more than my SGSII now....

Because Samsung plays well on the innovation side instead of playing with paper pattens to make products, Samsung does not low ball any other company unlike Apple.

Waoo, I saw that smart TV thing today. I could not believe my eyes.Did you know you can send images to a tab and vice-versa? I also saw the difference a cheap £5 HDMI cable has on video quality vs a £50 cable.the cheap ones degrade quality immensely and I'll advice you to get a good cable to better improve and enjoy your new tv.

in terms of cables there is a difference between a normal hdmi and a gold plated,it only effects the quility of the picture coming from a HDMI device and you dont really need to spend £50 on,i have one gold plated,cost £15 and does the job just brilliantly,Back on topic.apple just like to settle it court cus it has the best lawers in the world and simply becouse it feels threatend by the products coming from Samsung,htc,lg............becouse there coming out with technology thats far more advanced at a lower price than what apple retails theres at.

Samsung does actually have a lot of patents. Only company with more patents than Samsung (errr it's not apple) is IBM.
They had 5,896 patents in 2010 and Samsung had 4,551 in same period. That's ONLY number of US patents. Apple had only 563 patents in 2010.
Just in regards to telecom, Samsung has arguably highest number of patents.
http://fortunebrainstormtech.files.wordpress.com/2011/04/screen-shot-2011-04-25-at-1-32-52-pm.png
It's just that They tend to play nice(r). You know what, Samsung and IBM have a big cross-license deal for patents. That's actually how things should go:

Netflix HDR Streaming Available

IT LOOKS SO GOOD

If you type UHD on Netflix you should get all the 4K titles and HDR. I learned that from a Netflix's rep.

No HDRR option for me yet with this apk.

Thanks for sharing. Also Seeing HDR option here with this APK.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netfli...tflix-5-0-1-build-16103-android-apk-download/
If you don't see HDR make sure you have Netflix "Premium" Plan enabled.

HDR shows but when you play the content its not rendering it in HDR mode (with proper color gamut) so all colors are washed........samsung or netflix needs to update something so that it triggers hdr mode on the phone itself
EDIT - Colors seem ok now actually...but still unclear if HDR mode is properly triggered since there's no notification (like many TVs do when HDR kicks in)

No HDR for me with this apk, and yes I have the premium plan ?

The update only supports Dolby Vision HDR, and Samsung only supports HDR10, so it won't work at this point.

Weird it only shows hd for me, are u using snapdragon or exynos

HDR only available on LG6 for now
Also even tho you might see HDR label it wont play HDR if you dont have a ultra4k plan (HDR label would need to be whiteish not greyed out)
also not available outside US

Netflix has change App in 18,5:9 Format in Build 5.0.4. But im not sure. Have tried it with Build 5.03 too, but dont know if it was 16:9 or 18.5:9 Format in Stream. I dont remember me.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netfli...tflix-5-0-4-build-16186-android-apk-download/

hi i had the xperia xz premium which streamed 4k hdr but now i have the galaxy s8 plus and its not streaming hdr it it not supported yet in the netflix app for the s8
thanks

Galaxy S8 & S8+ will NEVER PLAY HDR MOVIES ON NETFLIX!
Ok lets just kill this rumor once & for all, the only phones that play HDR on Netflix is LG G6, LG V30, Galaxy Note 8, & the new Sony Xperia 4K phone! Thats it thats all PERIOD! Now I own a Galaxy S8 Im pissed off! But I no now why my phone or the Galaxy S8+ will never play HDR on Netflix see Netflix plays HDR in HDR10 & Dolby Vision & are beloved Galaxy S8 & S8+ have Mobile HDR! Yes some made up bull**** that no one in the movie industry uses!! So either Netflix adopts the Mobile HDR standard(Never going to happen)or Samsung sends a OTR update for HDR10(Aint going to happen)were more or less screwed! So there stop with the apk says HDR cuz Netflix said that's just a bug no HDR for us S8 users!

Lol please do your research before coming here spewing false info. Theres no such thing as hdr10 and dolby vision. There are 2 different standards. HDR10 has been adopted by samsung while dolby vision is used by LG and other manufacturers are using either. NETFLIX and Amazon have both formats so thats not the issue..

So I'm assuming since I only see HD Netflix doesn't support HDR?

HDR10 is an open source industry standard. Most services like netflix and such will adopt and use it. Dolby Vision is a proprietary tech made by Dolby Labs. You typically need another processing chip to get Dolby Vision to work unless your device (IE TV, Phone, 4k Blu-Ray player etc) already has enough horsepower to do the additional processing. Then its just a firmware update if they pay for the licensing of the Dolby Tech.
On topic, Netflix's website states they will deliver titles in HDR10 and Dolby Vision. They list the Samsung Note 8 as capable of HDR10 playback. So question is, if the Note 8 can do it, why cant the S8 Plus? Don't they share the same screen tech and processors? Only difference between the two would be a small screen size increase and 2GBs of more RAM. Not totally sure why HDR10 does not work on S8 Plus.
Quote from netflix's page:
Streaming Netflix in HDR and Dolby Vision requires Netflix app version 5.0 for Android.
Netflix is available in Dolby Vision on the Android phones below.
Note: Devices must run the latest firmware for Dolby Vision playback to work properly.
LG G6

As already mentioned before, the Galaxy S8(+) does not support Dolby Vision nor does it support HDR10. The S8(+) supports "Mobile HDR Premium", you can google it. It seems Samsung learned their lesson and they added support for HDR10 with the Galaxy Note 8. That´s why you can watch HDR content from Netflix on a Note 8.
So the question would be if we could enjoy HDR with a ROM ported from Note 8? Since there are several good ones here on XDA, maybe someone running such a ROM could tell us
I´m running Batman ROM and am not in the mood to flash a new Rom just to test it, sorry.
Furthermore: IF HDR works on our Phone with a Note 8 port, this would mean that Samsung COULD actually add HDR10 support via a firmwareupdate. Though I wouldn´t count on Samsung to do so. Maybe a Dev could add support via Mod.

i just did it, I am seeing HDR in Netflix app and it looks like more colours are being shown but, I am not getting the resolution to see it so mileage may vary

I get an error on my note 8. 5.2. if I install an older version if plays just fine but showing the HDR tags all I get is an error.

i wonder if its available on S9?
