It is a video of the set up and overview on the software. It's not a full review, since I have not had it all the way yet to review nor is the service finished.
Not sure if you guys would find this useful or not. BTW, skip to 50 seconds I had no idea i was talking that long before the video started... I just like talking..

I started the video at around 9 yesterday and I've had my computer on all day since then and it is 2,500 songs done thus far. Just to give you guys an idea of time it takes to get your video uploaded.
This is going to kill my bandwidth allowance.

Alright here's the deal, I got my HD2 when T-Mo had their sale on the 19th, so I'm pretty new. I've searched the forums, and I found several threads on the audio/video sync issue, but they don't help me too much with the problem I have. I used Red Kawa video conversion software to convert my MKV files to MP4, and while most people were saying the HD2 is the cause of the delay, I will note here that my videos were out of sync before I ever transferred them to the phone, so I had to delay them from the get-go. That's not my problem though. Now that I have about 10 videos in the correct format for the phone (800x480, video 1024kbps, audio 192kbps, -200ms delay) once I actually place them on the storage card and play them, they look fantastic until 7 minutes into any movie I play and the phone freaks out. Regardless of whether I'm in Album or WMP, and TCPMP won't play them hardly at all. I also can't use the slider to select any part of any video or the same thing happens, complete freakout. It's the weirdest thing, and there are videos I put on the phone without the delay that worked fine 2 days ago, but these mess up like clockwork EXACTLY 7 minutes in! Any advice here would be much appreciated. I haven't used Windows Mobile since the 2003 version, so I'm new to a lot of it.
Just wanted to add that the videos play perfectly on my computer, and I can use the slider on here to change spots...
Whoops! I thought I had both Anamorphic and Widescreen profiles set up the same, turns out one was on the Baseline Profile and another was on the Main Profile. As a result Anamorphic (Main) movies play fine, they're still not really slideable, but they don't jack up at 7 minutes.
I'm having one huge issue with this phone, and that is it not staying connected to the 3G at my house. I can sit in my living room and have 3-4 bars of 3G service, as can everyone else in my family, and my phone will just plumb disconnect and give me that lovely error message that you must "dismiss" before going on. Now if it was once in a blue moon I might be more forgiving, but it's all the time, literally almost every 2-3 minutes if I'm surfing. I don't really want to hard reset my phone because I'm not sure it will solve the issue, so if anyone has any advice here that would be fantastic. This is a freakin expensive phone, and I would hate for it to not work right after jumping through T-Mobile's hoops to get it. My friend's HD2 also has this issue and it's quite frustrating for both of us.
Now on to my question. Is it possible for Windows Mobile to even play 720p video? I have an mp4 copy of Kung Fu Panda for instance, that is 720p resolution and only 800mb, with a total bitrate of less than 1200kbps, and none of the media players (Album, WMP, TCPMP) will play this file at all. I didn't figure it would be that big a deal for this processor but I'm just curious, it's kind of a pain to re-encode EVERY video for playback on the phone. I have some MKV TV shows that are smaller files as well but 720p resolution and TCPMP won't play them either. Anything with that resolution causes TCPMP to crash. I was curious as to whether this was the phone not accepting the resolution or the audio track, which is a 5.1 surround track. I love this website and searched for both of these issues and couldn't find anything useful, so I have to ask y'all
Well, Homestar1217, I am also located in the DFW area and have the same problem. I constantly have to go to wireless controls in settings and turn my Data connection back on! You're right! It's VERY annoying!
It's probably the codec/container that you're using for your 720p file that's the issue.

Okkkkk... and in english? Please?
It is extremely annoying. If I hadn't already passed my 14 day return policy I'd be taking it back pronto. The new vibrant catches my eye at this point. Quite honestly I'm disappointed with this phone. Both browsers are sub-par, it took forever for me to figure out just the right bunch of settings on 3 different pieces of software for proper video conversion, swype has about a 25 second delay in the sms app before it lets me type, and mainly, it can't even stay connected to the network! I got this guy because of the processor, but it seems like all of the effort went into Sense, and no one tried to optimize the rest of the OS for the beast of a processor that it packs. Anyways, didn't mean to turn this into a complaint post. One 720p file is AVC with an mp4 container and video bitrate of 932kbps, and audio is AAC 6 channel at 278kbps. the other is an MKV with AVC video at 3476kbps and AC-3 audio at 384kbps, also 6 channel. I thought TCPMP would play those files but it crashed on both. I hope all that makes sense to you guys, it does to me

as far as TCPMP goes ... have you soft reset since you installed it? It crashed repeatedly on me before I soft reset, then, magic
if you want a different phne but are past the 14 day ask tmobile to send a new hd2 if you have the unit replaced 3 times in a 90 day period you are eligible for a handset exchange, I'm in this process right now... on my 3rd HD2 and i have the same data issue, after this i can upgrade to the mytouch slide,
*edit* as long as there is no heavy physical damage a.k.a. drop....
Just an fyi...I am in that third phone catagory. You won't get the phone you want...they offered me a Dash 3g! I said "That's not a comparable phone". They said that was the exchange phone and now they're sending me my 4th HD2. I'm having terrible lag issues while texting.
joe the lag issues might be happening because your threads are getting too big.i was having the same lag issue through the regular t9 texting then i switched over to swype in the settings and had a 15 second delay before i could text and realised after some help from this forum that there was too many messages in some contacts threads so everytime it gets to around 60 messages i just delete the thread. This happens with a lot of phones not just this one so give it try and see if it helps with your problem.
HI! My name is Sam and I am a Galaxy Tab. I thought you might be interested to know how my day goes.
At 0500 I wake up my master and we check his 5 email accounts, facebook and the weather and the news; all before we get out of bed. Takes about 15 minutes, then master gets up and we go to that little room and he might catch up on his reading for a few minutes.
Then we are off to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. My master makes breakfast for 10 people 3 times a week and on those days we look up some recipes on the epicurious app, or in his cookbook app. Then I play some music on my A Online Radio app or we watch an episode of Ghost Hunters on Droid Streamer while he cooks breakfast.
Now it is about 0700 and we head off to the canteen where we all meet for breakfast. While we are there I play some more music or some of the people borrow me to call back home on Skype.
When breakfast is over we may have to go to the store for supplies, so the navigation apps come out and play.
The rest of the morning I take a break while my master works on that big old desktop in a company owned program. He has to do it for compatibility, but I think he would really rather do it with me. Just before lunchtime he checks his emails and etc on me because it is so quick to do. And sometimes he plays a few games when he is not working, haha.
At lunch we head back to the kitchen and watch another TV program or listen to some music while he cooks. After that we take a break and he reads some of his old pulp fiction e-books on Moon Reader and perhaps takes a little nap while I play some soothing music.
In the afternoon master does some more work at his desk, and then we head over to the canteen for dinner. And I almost forgot that all day long he takes phone calls with his Bluetooth or earbuds.
All day long, whenever he gets a chance, he picks me up and we read a book, play a game or listen to some music. And when the mood strikes him he takes a picture of something and sends it off to facebook to share with all his friends.
After the evening class he goes to bed and reads a little before he sets the Sleepy Time app to play some nature sounds until he falls asleep. Then he plugs in my charger and I get to rest next to his head, just waiting to set that alarm off at 0500 tomorrow morning.
And that is a day in the life of a Galaxy Tab.
much, much cool
very good post, this gadget has become very very handy thanks to all the apps that we got
Hi,
I tried to take a long HD video in a birthday party, and it got reboot and lost the video. I also reproduce the issue, and found out it happens every time. Samsung focus could only take few mins of HD video?
Is this a bug or just my phone's issue?
Appreciate your input!
I just updated to Mango for a couple of weeks.
What happens if not in a birthday party?
, Just kidding.
This is not a bug as it has never happened to me.
Try to see if you have free space available before shooting as HD recording takes a lot of space for every 10 minutes could take up to 500 MB.
space is not issue. I even tried factory reset/ format, and enlarge the reserved space in Zune. Nothing helped so far. I suspect it is because the phone is too hot after HD video taking. Not sure thou
Hello,
Hello everyone, I have googled this question with no luck.
I am a musician. I use my lhone to record performances. When I finish, the video is cut into segments are are about 33 minutes long. Is this a "feature" that can be turned off?
Thanks.

I believe this is an Android limitation, I think there are a few camera apps that can record continuously (think they just rejoin videos together,but result is the same). Maybe a XDA guru can help with that.
Ive used this to join videos together that Ive already recorded with decent success. Hope this helps

My HTC M8 records overr 3 hours of continuous video.
That's what I usually use to record our gigs, but I borrowed it to a friend who dropped his phone in a toilet. Ha.
I guess I could try 3rd party camera apps, but I feel like I shouldnt have to do that......sigh.
Im honestly shocked this was still a thing with your post, my old Galaxy 2 from many years ago is when I 1st discovered this. I haven't had a need for long video's since but multiple scenes becoming 1 video has been needed (kinda how I found that app). Im wondering what is HTC doin to make it all work together.
I'm not sure why, but it seems like it's a file size thing. For example, if I record in max resolution, I get about 11-ish minutes before it splits into a new file. Makes me wonder if it's going on file size, not so much length? granted, would have to test by recording in different formats to see. But it sure is a bother having to go use a 3rd party to join them back together afterwards.
Hmmm,FAT32 file size limit is 2GB so maybe your on to something. I can't recall if I tried to put the SD Card in NTFS format back in the day but hey its worth a shot to OP.
