Hello, Everybody!
At our russian fan-club of the Toshiba Portege G900 we have decided to write a petition(like the one to HTC), in which we would like to point out that GoForce 5500 isn't working properly as on G900, as on other devices with this chip because of crappy driver software.
I know that this site is popular among owners of the devices with GoForce 5500, so, please, sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/g900drv/petition.html
Anyway, if you do not use G900, but you are interested in it, sign the petition!
Some links: topic at myg900.com
Thx for your attention!
not again!! TYNT II all over again..
blu3, listen, HTC wasn't boasting ATI Imageon on Qualcomm MSM 7200. But Toshiba G900 is on the list of GoForce-powered devices, so we have all the rights for the drivers.
Also xdaflameusers.com forum started petition for MWg/O2 Xda Flame which have GoForce 5500. If xdadevelopers users support this kind of movements it will be good example to show power of these forums. We spend hundreds of thousands dolars for these devices but lots of us get very poor support individually.
thank you for your support

It is funny that Flame users' petition seems very familiar to me
I also ask all flame users to sign G900 petition. If they do so, G900 owners will also sign Flame petition. The more the better!
I ask again all G900 and Flame users to sign both petitions!
We need this drivers.
Looks like HTC have set a precedent...
...if your a large corp. stick a middle finger up at the consumer, they'll still buy the next product in the release chain...

Just wondering why...
Is there any forum guideline preventing anyone from opening up an ETEN forum within xda-developers.com ?
I'm aiming at getting hold of an X800, hopefully very soon and think these devices are quite good (with the X800 hopefully even better).
Would be nice exchanging experiences and technical stuff with others.
guess the webmaster feel there got to be a limit somewhere
otherwise what about motorole, asus, hp, thoshiba
and everybody else who makes wm phones
there are sites around for all devices i would guess
and if this site got more users because of a wider range
of supported phones
the server the site is hosted on would kneel even more over
and many users would exp timeouts trying to access the forum
it would then require more funding to buy more server juice
Also...this forum predominantly covers devices manufactured by HTC.
i just read on the net that qualcomm has got a very big legal problem and can not make certain chipsets any more.
Also the tytn 2 was mentioned to have this chipset.
So if i am not mistaking this means htc has to find an other chipset and what will happen with the support for the kaiser??
if i put this message in the wrong place sorry but i thought it was maybe important
if this is true, then all current kaiser owners are sol. good thing we have the xda forums and all the hard working people trying to create a fix.
This has already been brought up. Unfortunately, the injunction that Broadcomm has prohibits Qualcomm from distributing and even servicing/replacing devices with said chip(s). Currently Qualcomm R&D are developing a work around for the current chip architecture to eliminate the infringing Broadcomm components with out having to completely redesign the chip.
Not true on the selling or servicing. They can for the devices out the door per the royalty agreement ordered in Fed. Court. They can also keep selling it to existing cutomers till jan. 1 of 2009.

Really? I thought that they could continue to sell until the end of this month. Maybe I just read it wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.
UPDATE: Just reread the official injunction. GSLEON3, you are correct. I humbly bow out.
If anyone is curious to the official ruling and details, you can get it here. <----This links to a .pdf file

Class Action wants software fix from HTC
By Tony Dennis: Thursday, 17 January 2008, 2:00 AM
A BIT of a spat has arisen amongst owners of certain recent HTC mobile PDAs and the manufacturer over an alleged lack of a decent driver. The complainers have formed the HTC Class Action organisation.
Given the tone of the site, the group appears to be mainly US based. Their main gripe is that a number of HTC devices based on Qualcomm MSM7200 and MSM7500 chipsets fail to properly use the hardware acceleration provided by the ATI Imageon hardware inside the devices.
In the group's own words, "Even much older devices from HTC as well as from their competitors perform better."
We're talking about how well these devices' graphics capabilities work here, of course.
While the threat of a class action (involving the US courts) by the group appears to be something of an empty one, HTC Class Action does seem to be genuinely offering a reward of over $3,000 to anybody who comes up with the right software fix. That must be worth a punt.
The group also claims that it has put together a petition which has been signed by over 4,000 HTC mobile PDA owners asking the company to resolve the situation.
Given that one of the HTC models in question - the TyTN II – retails at about $700, the group doesn't think this is a trivial complaint.
However, HTC did respond to the INQ with an official statement on this particular problem. It said: "Based on recent customer feedback with regards to video performance, HTC is in the process of investigating and validating these reports and if necessary identifying solutions to rectify any unusual issues."
So the two sides still seem far apart on whether there is a problem to be fixed or not. Perhaps HTC doesn't want to pay ATI unnecessarily? µ
Im so happy that alot of websites are posting these kind of messages! HTC WILL LISTEN!!
this is definitely a good response. Chainfire's decision to start the website really made a big difference.

We also need to Digg this like crazy;

A good way to put it is "it's like running your Microsoft Windows OS computer in SAFE mode ALL the time".
hello friends.. I had a tytn, and now I have a tytn2,, runnng Divx in High quality, kaiser is so bad... my motoQ is even better than kaiser...
Coreplayer v1.1 Benchs
Divx > Bit rate 960kbps 360x240 25 fps, mp3 192kbps
TyTN - 205%
MotoQ - 135%
Kaiser - 50% ... its unbelieveble...
I did tytn 1 vs kaiser Sktools benchs,,, Kaiser wins at 5 tests and tytn 1 wins at 3 tests...

Hello there,
I am a user of another Harmony tablet, the Advent Vega. As I suspected, ViewSonic has adopted the same stance as other Harmony tablet sellers: simce nVidia has no longer the initiative of providing new drivers, all development for our purchased tabs comes to a halt. The small vendors (Advent, POV, ViewSonic) have no own means of providing further ROMs and support, while the bigger brands (Toshiba) which could actually do something of the sort, are already bringing new tablets to the market and forsaking the old models.
Nevertheless, I know, as you all do, that the Harmony tablets CAN run Honeycomb. They have good enough specs to run it, and the main reason why they don't do it now is because of absurd market cycles.
Therefore, my idea is to have all Harmony chipset users unite for a big bounty seeking a team of developers who can create drivers for nvidia Harmony devices on Honeycomb. As it is a cross-device matter, we could even call attention to this iasue and publish this bounty on the XDA homepage. We know already that no commercial house will bring about any new ROM with said drivers. And I think I'm not alone if I say that I don't want my device to be forsaken after just 7 months in the market.
I think we need something like this if we don't want our tabs to turn into obsolete junk, which is what the big companies would like to make us think they are. The XDA community has injected a new breath of life into many devices long forgotten by their makers. I hope this macro-bounty idea can do the same for ours.
What are your thoughts on this?

Sign and share. Show some support to fellow users.
Coming from frustrated HTC One S S3 users who won't receive 4.2.2 update due to Qualcomm dropping support.
http://androidandme.com/2013/07/new...-forced-htc-to-pull-one-s-android-4-2-update/
Petition link will be sent to all major Qualcomm contact e-mail addresses and smartphone portals because no-one likes negative publicity. And please don't tell that petitions don't work - petition to Broadcom by Galaxy Y users worked.
Thank you.
Signed...
Bumping.
Come on guys, show some support.
petition signed.
hope everyone is signs up here for qualcomm support on snapdragon s3 powered devices
