OMG... what is this new phone Glofish DX900?

http://www.glofiish.com/news.asp?lang=3&page=1&id=81
OMG.... if it is as it say in the news, I want one
Anyone know anyting about this new phone?

why? Nothing revolutionary there ...... maybe great but the description is a bit vague to tell.

I know nothing.. Would like to know more

^^ here you go, check out this link.

It certainly looks like a decent spec BUT previous phones from GloFish have had problems with their ROM and practically zero cutomer support, try using a T-Mobile Sim card in one last years units and it won't work for a data connection - their customer support knew about the fault but did nothing to fix the issue. Its not something I would risk a few hundred quid on to be honest - Mike

Thanks for the link master athlon.....
Samsung S3C6400 533 MHz Processor... hummm... anyone knows if this processor has 3D inside like the Qualcomm MSM7201A 528 Mhz processor?!?!?!?

Yeah, people do seem to beat up on E-Ten, even though I've never heard of an HTC phone working the way it should out of the box. I'm really excited about this phone, the specs are comparable to the Diamond, plus dual SIMs, plus a microSD slot, plus a real battery.

I looked it up here, and it doesn't say anything about 3D acceleration. It does support 2D acceleration, though.

Any one who has this phone. Comments on the performance please.

I wish HTC would produce a device with DVB-T, would make a nice pocket tv device

It's very fast and responsive, uses SPB Mobile Shell like a lot of Glofiish devices. Alas, no accelerated 3D support but the Samsung processor DOES have accelerated 2D support.
VGA screen is crisp and clear, and dual SIM function is really good.

they are brave enough to come out with a unique dual sim WM device and I love it!
The ROM upgrade had been done only once? Guess its bec they are being bought by Acer so there's a little company adjustment of personnel or the like

Hi all,
I have a simple question: does it have a "standard" 3.5mm audio jack or a smaller 2.5mm one?
Thanks,
Davide

Says here that it's a 2.5mm jack.

HTC Touch Pro 2 with old Processor?!

Hello,
can anyone explain me, why does the HTC Touch Pro 2 get a older Processor like HTC Touch Pro 1? HTC Touch Pro get a Qualcomm MSM7201A with 65nm (less Battery) and the HTC Touch Pro 2 have a Qualcomm MSM7200A with 90 nm (need more Batterypower), this Processor is over 2 Years old!!! Is there a misstake on the Website of the specification on HTC?
Thanks for your answer.

Well, I understand your annoyance with an old processor, and although I'm definitely getting the TP2 if I can, I would certainly prefer a faster clock speed, maybe 628 mHz or higher. What I don't understand is where you are getting the chip measurements. Are you refering to this spec's page?
Dave

Hi,
yes, your refering spec's website is right. PDADB has auso the same spec. I don't know, why i've got to pay for a new mobilephone with a old processor. :-( I hope this is a misstake on the website.

You don't... You can wait a month or two till the Touch Pro 3 comes out, which will probably have the new Snapdragon 1ghz processor like the Toshiba G01. Seems like htc is releasing new devices every few months or so now, so wait a little while and what you want will be available soon.

I do hope you are wrong, because if you are not I will keep waiting for the next phone to come out and never upgrade my phone until year 2050...

For me it is the same too. I won't even take a glance at any phone with only 624MHz on it. I need something faster. I have an HTC Universal (524MHz), and I think that was slow after loading all my applications. The same goes with my HTC Advantage X7510 (624MHz). An open application runs fine, but you will notice how slow a QUALCOMM processor is upon opening the application.
I really think the combination of HTC and Qualcomm processors are not a good match. I promised myself, I won't buy another HTC device if it has a QUALCOMM processor in it.

wow! this phone looks beautiful. any1 knows the price already?

I dont think they will do any change in next 8-12 months after the release on TP2 which clearly targeted for bussiness user (Email,calls, battery live) Anyhow I do think the next Touch HD will be in the level of Toshiba G01 and targeted mainly on multimedia (games,movies etc.)

It has to be something else thats causing the problem, not just the HTC/Qualcomm combination.
The HTC T-mobile G1 is very responsive and fast and uses the same qualcomm cpu, also the Xperia X1 is using it and I've read it outperforms the Diamond/Touch Pro in multimedia department. HTC developed the X1 aswell.
I'm confused...

When you say HTC T-Mobile G1, are you referring to ANDROID OS? That alone is a big difference. Unfortunately, I like Windows Mobile better at the moment for an all around OS with a wide variety of free and 3rd party applications.
With regards to X-Peria, it's made by SONY which specializes on multimedia, so that is no surprise at that department. But looking at Xperia videos, it is still slow, especially at opening and starting applications. I bet it will even be slower upon performing multi-task applications running in the background.
I read at Brighthand that the new HTC THOTH will also have a Qualcomm processor but it would be a 1GHz processor. So I guess, we will see by next year how HTC will use these powerful processors, or maybe they will cripple it in some way. They always find something to screw-up. So I guess we will have to wait.

I really thought HTC made the xperia for SONY.
Anyway my point was that the xperia is using the same qualcomm cpu like the diamond/pro for example and the xperia outperforms them both in multimedia performance. And if I'm wrong about the xperia made by HTC then ok you are right.

No you are right, maybe I should had made it clear, the XPeria is made by HTC, but Sony definitely has something to do with it's multimedia capabilities. Sony would not just let HTC make something and not have any control over it.

Hey, the Touch Pro uses a cdma msm7501a cpu which was made last year.
The Touch Pro 2 uses a msm7600 cdma cpu from 2007.
The TP uses a newer cpu than the atp2.

[TO-DO]Found Some Intresting stuff on HTC Site

Hello!!
This thread Is For Future Development so Mods plz Don't alter this thread at least pm me before...
while Browsing the HTC site, i opened up sites of 3 different zones i mean:
Code:
[B]HTC MAGIC INDIA[/B]
http://www.htc.com/in/product/magic/specification.html
[B]HTC MAGIC EUROPE[/B]
http://www.htc.com/europe/product/magic/specification.html
[B]HTC HERO WORLDWIDE[/B]
http://www.htc.com/www/product/hero/specification.html
& just compared the HTC Magic from India, Europe & HTC Hero from worldwide site...
Some Differences Found:
HTC Magic from India has:
Code:
1. Processor ----------Qualcomm® [B]MSM7200A™[/B], 528 MHz
2. Memory: ------------ROM: 512 MB [B]RAM: 288 MB[/B]
3. Has(+) --------------[B]HTC Sync™[/B]
4. Has(+) --------------[B]Microsoft® Exchange Server synchronization[/B]
While HTC Magic From Europe had the following difference:
Code:
1. Processor ----------Qualcomm® [B]MSM7201a™[/B], 528 MHz
2. Memory: ------------ROM: 512 MB [B]RAM: 192 MB[/B]
3. Lacks(-) -------------[B]HTC Sync™[/B]
4. Lacks(-) -------------[B]Microsoft® Exchange Server synchronization[/B]
And the HTC Hero Has +points on both of the above are:
Code:
1. Connectivity --------------------3.5 mm audio jack
2. Camera -------------------------5.0 megapixel color camera with auto focus
3. Audio supported formats ----Windows Media® Audio 9
4. Video supported formats ----Windows Media® Video 9
Now the main reason for this Thread,
Seeing the Differences,
The Europe Magic May be lacking the Extra RAM Due to some Processor Changes, Bootloader & Boot image Which allots less space for RAM & more for Internal Space...
So I think It Can Gain That Extra RAM by making changes to the above stuffs... More over HTC Sync™ & Microsoft® Exchange Server synchronization can be added to future ROM's...
Then Leaving The Indian Magic, because It has Most of Them... We Skip to Compare HERO to these Phones & even add G1/DREAM/ADP1..
The 5 MP Camera & 3.5 mm audio jack Cannot Be added, as its an Hardware Spec, But We can add those Missing Codecs Windows Media® Audio 9 & Windows Media® Video 9 to HTC MAGIC & HTC G1/DREAM/ADP1
For that we need the Original HERO Gallery, Some Frameworks & Libraries which may be missing in current HERO ROM(Provided By Haykuro)...
So This post is for Future to-do to the Developers at XDA-Developers Android Section... Stuffs to Be done as soon as The Proper Hero ROM is available.
SANGEET

Based on my research, MSM2700A chip only goes up to 400MHz. 2701A is the one that has 528MHz and is used in all HTC's android phones.
As to the memory problem, I think the 288MB RAM is just the same storey as the 192MB claimed for G1. The MSM2700 series chips are asymmetric, which means, external memory has to be split in two in hardware. In G1, only half of the 192M RAM is avaiable to the application processor, while the rest is dedicated to radio and probably video. So I think for Hero, 288MB is the total memory and we have 192M available to the OS (96M for the armv6 chip as in G1).
Also, the MSM2700 series comes with Windows Media and RealNetworks format support, but I guess some of the drivers and codecs cannot be included in an open-source project. Now the HTC way is much closed and commercial, so WMA and WMV support is possible.

Ya i know its closed source, But still we can port it as done with the PDFviewer & many more HTC stuffs ported from 1 phone to another...
& the Hardware stuff I dont know more about it but ll say that the MSM2700 series is also capable to be overclocked to 527.~ Mhz coz my adp1 has it & can be successfully be overclocked to 527 Mhz...
But if u r an hardware expert then dont know, may be its showing fake reading of cpu overclocked to 528 on my adp1

MSM2700A & MSM2701A are the same, the main difference is the MSM2701A is actually a Dual Core processor. (weird they didn't put it into the new US Magic) It uses 1 core for all your phone processes (making calls, etc) and it uses the other core for all your android OS processes... pretty cool huh? Both can be upto 528Mhz

Oooo I want a 2701a

Stop posting stuff like that. Those processors are THE SAME. The're a patent issue involved that made them change names. And a diference in coding video (not that we care right now with our crappy cameras).

Leave that, or the thread may get slipped to off toppic...
Just start posting here when someone provides the Release version of HERO ROM which is complete....Posting about porting/adding those codecs
As we know HTC's Gona provide ROM's to HTC Branded Androids, & G1 cant Run the full ROM @ that speed as Magic & Hero can achieve, So we can only port some of this stuff so it at-least runs @ normal speed...

Samsung Omnia Pro!!!!

A device has now been tested www.gsmarena.com/samsung_b7610_omniapro-review-378.php
What are your thoughts? Is this a match for the TP2?
I hate to say it, but im swayed by this device to move away from HTC until they bring the next touch/keyboard device (TP3?)

I still prefer TP2!
The only point I can see is not better is in processor, but I´ll wait patiently to see the 09-10 HTC new models!

ooh i dont know that seems prettty nice.... but since its probably not coming to tmobile here in the us i think i have no choice but to go iwth the touch pro 2, it will probably go to Verizon cause they where the only one to get the last omnia

A match? To be honest, I'm not seeing how the Touch Pro 2 is supposed to be better or even equal to a phone that has an AMOLED screen and 800Mhz Cortex A8 processor. The B7610 even beats the TP2 in little things like camera and ROM storage amount.

That's old news... I was not impressed.

Im so impatient, I dont think I can wait til the next version of the Touch Pro is available. The TP2 has only just been released and therefore its probably going to be another 12 months.
The fact the Samsung is lighter, better screen, camera (inc flash), I have to admit im tempted

.... and you have Samsung build quality which is, in my experience, awesome..... unlike my experience of HTC's which is frankly, awefull.
You will be able to get many cooked roms over at omnia.modaco.com and you will get just as much support from them and here when combined.

It was dated "GSMArena team, 20 July 2009. " .... i'd hardly call that old!

I used to have a Touch HD and video performance was a letdown. Don't get me wrong the HD is a magnificent device, but not being able to watch videos as they should be on this great screen was dissapointing. I tried many different encoders, like doctor divx, nero recode and the encoder made for this device but none of them gave me satisfiyng results. Especially considering that I had to REENCODE a complete movie, this process could easily take several hours. Many tweaks drivers etc never gave me full satisfaction. I made tons of little clips to test the best possible performance for the least amount of encoding time and my findigs were that my best option was to reencode with Nero at a maximum resolution of 524 and max bitrate of 700 and selecting Quicktime compatibility for the MPEG ASP. So I ended up with tons of clips, each time trying wich is the best. The following things were particularly frustrating.
- No out of the box divx/xvid support
- playback of divx/xvid with coreplayer or any other 3rd party player was slow and laggy
- No standard MPEG 4 ASP support, for example videos recorded on other devices like Nokia's wouldn't play. Also many programs would create incompatible mp4 files for this device. Later I found out because it doesnt support the Advanced Simple Profile but only the Simple Profile. (Quicktime compatible)
- No standard MPEG 4 AVC support, as the point above the only way to make mp4 video work on this device was to use the encoder program wich was very very very slow. (on my pc at least) Files created with nero or xvid or any other VC-1 encoder would fail to play on this device.
- Even videos created with the special encoder would play fine, but seeking and switching from fullscreen to portrait etc was always lagging.
NOW : I bought a Samsung Omnia PRO B7610 and man it's a world of difference. Seriously this device is awesome for video playback. Smooth playback, fast mode switching, fast seeking forward. I mean everything wich was wrong with the HD is right with this device. I hadn't deleted my bunch of test clips for the HD and this device plays nearly all of them without a problem. And the best part is, I don't have to reencode anything anymore. Every divx/xvid video I tried played flawlessly. Lost episodes downloaded from the web at 624 resolution look perfect on the Amoled Screen, and play perfectly smooth. Well I am certainly satisfied with this device.

samsung b7610
where did you get this deveice from , i've been waiting for it for a long time. does anyone have any idea about a UK release date. i've been scouring the internet and can't find a thing.

I got it online from pdashop / Coolblue. Price for just the phone without contract was 468 euros. You can probably find it cheaper online, but I was prepared to give a little more to get my hands on this a soon as possible.

720 p recording on HTC HD2

Can we record videos in 720P if we load android onto HTC HD 2 ?

To be polite NO
No because an android port is not possible yet, ( although it is linux with a pretty UI ), and our hardware cannnot do 720p unfortunately.

okay, but with the hd2's config, shouldnt it be able to do 720p video recording in its current setup itself? at 5 megapixels, the camera is decently equipped to handle 720p hd video, and of course i am guessing, but with a 1 ghz cpu, hd video should be possible?

Yes and no, its in the realm of the possible but currently not much is known about the camera, there have been tweaks in the past (like 7mp panorama shot) that turned out to not really work.
I would like to see it as much as you though, heres to hoping some of the devs want it too

all of us hd2 users have been cheated. HTC now released the same model albeit with 8mp camera, android and 720p video recording in the us. How crappy is that? and its unlikely that htc will be releasing updates for hd2. This sucks, we bought the flagship product of the company, and they dont even have the decency to release tweaks which should have been there in the first place. products that are 30% cheaper and with not even half the config can pull 720p video recording .

This one has no UMTS abilities ;-)

i don't understand why HD2 can't recording in 720p, he has the hardware capacity

Windows Mobile...
It's not a hardware limitation, the Snapdragon chip is more than capable of encoding and decoding 720p video. However, Windows Mobile does not support this in any shape or form. So as long as we're running Windows Mobile, no 720p for us, unless it's somehow hacked in...

we have 640i,
dont know about 720p. But i am pretty sure with the right camera drivers and htc hacks atleast 720i should be possible. But i guess no good the sensor of our hd2 is and if it can take so much pixels at that desired framerate

i loaded my htc hd2 with android froyo 2.2
turned on 720p recording, camera crashed
turned on any other recording format, it worked... so im guessing even if the Operating system allowed it, our hardware didnt...
on Windows Mobile, hell thats a no go for now

I think you are wrong. You forget that you are running a port of and OS. This Android port will never function as native Android phones. Compare the hardware of the HD2 with any of the 720p recording Android phones and you will see that there are no major differences, at least none that can affect recording. But remember that the bitrate of a video shot in 720p resolution is lower than the video of a hand held camera. All we have in the Android port is the work of people working with drivers and tweaking it. As buggy as it was in the beginning, the Android port got a lot better that it can be compared to native Android phones. Patience is a virtue

my theory: technically it's a slr xD
I've been fooling around a bit with the camera and turned up with over 4000 pics taken in the last 3 months. i figured a few things out and will attach a few shots just to proof my theory 'bout the slr^^
edit: [i also realized a clicking noise while taking the shots, similiar to the noise a big slr makes]
and doesn't the dpi (96/128) take effect on HD recording/displaying?
just an idea^^

Yes, I have a Toshiba TG01 WinMO 6.5. Itcomes with the same 1GHz Snapdragon 8520 chipset. We also can't use HD 720p recording The HD7 has the SAME chipset as the HD2 and TG01, so it's definitely not a hardware limitation. I hope with the arrival of WP7 on HD2 will 'unlock' this feature. WE have good news on our TG01 forum. We are going to be expecting the first WP7Beta within the next few days

You can on the HD7.

i though this was an app >.> omg

hey guys!!!!
i just figured out that wp7 on the hd7 runs with more than 600 dpi, winmo 6.5.~ runs with 128 dpi. THAT is why we can't record in 720p!
i hope your not so disappointed afterall, since the hd2 is the first device known to run Mameo, Android, Ubuntu, WinMo an WinPhone. So just wait a few weeks 'til wp7 is ported!

hi quys i have android 2.2 froyo and it is possible qwga resolution, but on 720p it crashes, while recording it is all good, but on playback video is all pink,green...
question> Is continious focus in video mode possible and ported on HD2

Just flashed windows phone 7 on the HD2, I can confirm that 720p recording is real. No issues with recording or playing. It records in .mp4 with 1280x720 resolution. Try it
