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???

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.
I won't go with "we all still have them so we must like them" crap.

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.

Fish in Water Application for Touch Diamond

Hi,
A friend with an iphone showed me an application that got me well impressed..
The applications shows several different types of fish swimming in the water..
Taping the screen was like dipping your finger in water and shaking it..... quality sound and picture... this also made the fish scamper...
Is there a similar application for the HTC diamond? i know its totally useless but would be an awesome show-off application..
beany

That would be a very cool app.
An aquarium to "carry away" ;D

Thats already discussed under G-Sensor applications.. If someone could make something like it.. it would be cool

i remember seeing the sony xpedia demo... has a similar app...
when it launches hopefully someone can export the cab

This is what i so on the iphone:
http://www.palluxo.com/2008/08/25/koi-pond-app-virtual-fish-pond-for-iphone-and-ipod-touch/
Developers, we need you to make this??

i'ts actually an X1 home screen not just an app. The fish not only follow your touch on the screen, but also alert to notifications such as missed call's etc (if i remember correctly the fish changes colour to show missed calls / bluetooth on etc - but don't hold me to this)

Can developers actually create this for the HTC DIamond?

Of course they can! But they dont have this much time to play with useless applications guaranteed
But I still hope someone will make it :-9

This may be usefull when the diamond is in the craddle i think !

it just looks really good on the iphone....

i don't remember where from in the forum but i downloaded a very similar app.
i uploaded it for you or anybody else interested. this is not my application and i am sorry i can not remember who's, but here you have it
http://rapidshare.com/files/146610608/Flash_Ripple_Fish.zip

yeah, thats the one...
it needs improving though... but the foundations ARE there....
can a developer improve the interface, graphics, sound ETC ETC ...
can the app on the IPHONE work on the HTC?

Getting Bored with HD. Any ideas ?

Now that its been few weeks that i got my HD , im getting bored with it.
Although I used to have XDA and HTC devices in the past, Its really getting boring with HD.
Any cool ideas about making this device extraordinary ? I need new ideas !! thanks

sell it... to me... $100
or flash the latest ROMs and try fix all the bugs
that should be entertaining and a great service to the community

Give it to me and get a new phone?
Bit of a strange question. How extraordinary can phones be?
Maybe paint it pink, it would look extraordinary then! Do you like playing games? Get some new games for it.

It is not a gaming device u know, No D-pad or keys... So far im still using the stock ROM, no bugs for me.

I hope it is not a Slingbox/slingplayer case. I would be very happy if there is an all-software solution which utilizes a TV card located on a desktop computer

You can use Orb (www.orb.com)

Get microsoft voice commander, and start having conversations with your phone... (to be fair the conversations are limited to asking it about signal strength, battery levels, date, time and upcoming appointments... but it's fun to see the reaction on peoples faces when you talk to your phone and your phone speaks back to you.
also being able to launch applications and mp3s by speaking is just cool.

That seems quite interesting

Flash your phone with the latest Radio and Dutty's 2.3.
You will be amazed by the speed and added functionality.
Plus, you don't need to get a Touch Pro 2. Dutty's 2.3 utilizes almost the same manila.

got my stylus today ???

I thought i would try a stylus on the hd2 as i was so used to one on the touch HD,
well i receibed it today from good old ebay and it looks nice but it is PANTS !
maybe its just the one i got but it doest work well...
just thought i would share

Careful with non-official stylus. I ordered one, didn't work properly and stopped using it immediately before damaging the device.

wait for the offical htc hd2 capacitive stylus due out later this month.

Thanks for sharing. How well does it work for note taking?
Thanks

where i can buy this stylus? you can post a link with more info?

I bought the dagi stylus when I was in Taiwan. It's supposed to be the "official HTC Stylus" (before rebranding). That works pretty good. I could use excel quite well with it, just that I need to keep the thing at a certain angle.
If you want a reference: http://pockethacks.com/htc-official-stylus-for-capacitive-touch-htc-hd2/
I picked it up in taiwan for about US$10 if I'm not wrong. If you'd like to, search ebay for it. it's prob about US$12 with shipping.

Can you specify which stylus it was ?

I am not holding my breath waiting for a stylus for the HD2. The Iphone has been out for 3 years and they still don't have a descent one. I am not sure capacitive screen are too friendly with Styluses..... I miss my HD1 :-(

ubuntu running on the tp2????... can we have this?

just saw the tp2 section and it seems the devs have got almost a full working version of linux ubuntu running o the phone. internet and everything minus no phone or sms.
can we get this on our heros? any devs interested in trying to get this working with the phone and sms too? the hell with 2.1 if we could have this!

Not having a hardware keyboard would pretty much make it useless.

If you could get a BT to work, couldn't you use a BT keyboard, impractical yes, but kinda cool has a proof of concept.

He has a point. Unless you can find an Ubuntu soft kb, and a 1000x magnification program. And a tiny stylus.

it's still a work in progress and i think it would be a great challenge and a change of pace for our devs here if they put there minds together. since we are all waiting on 2.1 anyways.
there already is a virtual keyboard in ubuntu that works on this build. the tp2 just happens to have a real keyboard is all.

Other than the challenge, what would be the point? You would lose all the phone functions... I don't see any advantages. Help me understand why anyone would want this. Maybe if you could dual boot of the SD card... that would be cool.
