Only by vague comparison. Specs and performance are most similar to Kaiser, without a sliding QWERTY. Size is only slightly larger than the ELF (Touch). It does resemble Artemis, but the specs and features are far superior.

Has it got a real hardware touchflo screen like the original Touch?
Or is it a software one like the Kaiser?
And is the screen transflective?
Thanks.

It has the real hardware screen. Actually, it is the same size screen as the original Touch, surrounded by 'black chrome' over the entire face. As for transreflective, I believe it is backlit like the origianl Touch. Side by side, the screen qualities are identical. If I find more information on this I will repost.

Can you please do me a massive massive favour and see whether it is readable under direct sunlight (like the TyTN/Hermes) or faded out (like the TyTN II/Kaiser)?
Thanks.

i think all of htc's new screens NOT transreflective

But if it was the same as the original Touch, then it would be, and that's what I am really hoping...

Hi,
Can we please get the HTC Debug Tools you got there? (Gps router, etc...)
Please upload it.
Dump the rom or somthing please.
Thanks,
Nadavi.

I am not sure I am getting this -- does it mean you actually already got one of your own? Where from? Expansys/mobileplanet pushed back the availability by another 10 days.

Hi raskell, could you please take some standard pictures of it, i wonder to buy this phone, but i'm not sure how it looks, would like to see some real images (without photo shop improvements) of this new machine

tested

just preordered this sucker, looks to be a good device

Nice1 but I like the Kaiser more

aye, this is pretty much the same thing without the keyboard, which i don't need ;p just wish it had a vga/bigger/true colour screen

DeviceWire are saying that HTC have pushed back the launch until mid-late Dec. Devicewire expect to be shipping at the beginning of Jan. Does look a good phone, got it on pre-order, hope it doesn't disappoint!

can someone check about hardware accelerated directX on that device ?

Here's some photos, just in case you're doubting if I really have the device.
As you can see the front face is 'black chrome' , actually mirror like. that's why photos are taken from oblique angles.
A standard SD card adapter is shown for size reference. The phone is sleek and trim, fits comfortably in the hand and in the pocket. I use a case for the Samsung BlackJack which fits it quite well.

Wy, you are in the UK, I am in Ohio. (I leved in Leeds for three years.) Chances of having a sunny day, in Ohio, in November is quite slim, as it is where you live. I did hold the device directly under a 60 watt spot light and it is still totally visible. My wife's original Touch is viewable in high sun.
Here it is side by side with the Sprint Touch. The actual LxW of the screens look identical.

Impossible app! Is it true?

i've seen this video on italian blog...in the attachment there is the app but i can' t try it..i ve wm6....is it true??
http://www.wmfans.net/?p=40

It's not true. It's a video and the phone holder just has the timing down. There was another video like this with the X-ray and also had a coca-cola video that tipped like a glass as if you could drink from your phone

you must be kidding that you believed it for a second. it is just recorded. to do that, YOU NEED AN X-RAY MACHINE.

are you sure it is a video? there is an installer app

I didnt even both to watch the video.
But I can tell you that if you remove the IR filter from any webcam / camera you can see through some opaque or dark items. This includes a bottle of coca-cola, and even some clothes. (SONY had to recall a lot of cam corders because the night mode allowed you to see through white shirts in the day time, ie. girls shirts.)
There are a ton of tutorial videos online how to remove these filters. The last one I watched was on Hak.5

It is a definte FAKE. The guys' bone structure and adipose tissues does not match the Xray screen viewer. Definitely FAKE.

Maybe you don't include that camera isn't located in the center of screen. But I haven't tested it, I don't know is it real.

Capellone85, where the heck sei andato a pescarla, questa?

IT Fake
Its Fake Some People Actualy Fall IT its a swf flash file haha.

the timing on the movement is out and the bone structure as mentioned was way off
It is probably a video file being played.. i have seen another one pretty well done with a little girl.. almost had be thinking it could be real but then my common sense kicked in

I have one a bit like that on my PDA. Not quite as sophisticated but still impresses people for about half a second till they figure it out.
Got it from here: http://freewareppc.com/misc/xray.shtml
edit: just noticed that post #7 has the actual one from the video

here is a whole bunch of such apps
http://www.youtube.com/mobiletricks

thx so much for answer

I have used this one a long before, its just a video that runs, & u have to adjust the movement like wise.

The drink ones work on some devices like the HTC diamond, iphone, n95 and many others due to the the built in Accelerometer.
The xray as stated above is a flash vid but looks good if you time it right.
had my daughter believing my touch was an uber fone for weeks with that xray

Look at the guys left hand. It looks like he has this mapped to the button his thumb is on. Right before it moves, it looks like there's more stress as if he's pushing the button

High res screen replacement for zpad accomplished by Bigideas

I am only an ordinary user not a Dev,i am only translating the information,any question should be posted on original threads.
It is a success, however it is a screen replacement of zpad not gtab, sorry for that since i thought the two is the same last time i post this,but they are very similar in hardware,so you maybe still want to see this

True but not available as of yet. Once it is I will certainly be in line for one of these. If the specs are correct, that just puts the gtab over any other tablet on the market.

Is the file below your first post the re-hash that big idea made? Because I can't make heads or tails of the chinese site.

Well if you bother to go to the site he linked, then you can see that google will translate it for you, but which button do you press to download the file?
The one I thought it would be asks for a user name and password.
Which takes me back to my ORIGINAL question, is the file the OP linked the file needed to change the resolution on the g tab if a new higher resolution screen is installed?

Sorry for not response. Time is different i went to sleep. If you visit the orginal site you will find a link which leads to exactly the same datasheet i gave in attachment here. no rom available since big ideas did not give. As she said she had borrowed the screen from a friend and get it work with a selfcompiled rom. but drop it to the ground and break it later. She asked for another one but only got only the datasheet of the screen

Attachment is a pdf so please extract it and read it. It is not something to change the res in rom.

I downloaded the pdf file of the original thread by big ideas and put it in my attachment.the hash do not meet the hash in the file name.

If you search LP101WH2 TLA2 on alibaba.com, there are many suppliers. Don't know whether its thickness fits though.

quick update now. in the original thread bigideas said she just order 5 of this kind of screens via a friend in HK. SO this thread is closed and we will wait, they may come to xda to tell the result themself.. thanks for paying attention.

i'm just seeing a slight issue here. The G-tablet's 1024x600 screen is a 16:10 display, whereas 1366x768 is 16:9.
Are the pixels on the high-res display non-square, and if so, is there any correction being done somewhere along the line?
EDIT; i checked your specs and nope, they're perfectly square. The g-tablet on the other hand DOES have non-square pixels and a physical aspect ratio close to 16:9.
This panel will be magnificent in the g-tablet

Maybe that can be a issue. but we will wait until bigideas post picture or video of the detail of screen replacement and the final effect and then make the decision wether or not it improves things and then i will follow them to buy the screen. there will be the need to flash into the rom bigideas has finished specially for the screen ,which may solve the problem of ratio,the rom is not posted now . the people on ezpad think the screen can give a better experience with the coming honeycomb which maybe still a little faraway so we pay a lot of attention to the thing. chenglu and bigideas are the legend of ezpad and i am only a ordinary user who loved xda and ezpad and wants to help.

sounds a lot like the new screen of A10. I believe they are the same.
http://www.jr.com/elocity/pe/ELY_A10_dot_4/

lets hope the screen fits and works with our tablet. If we had a good screen, this thing would be perfect

I'm totally new to the software side but can crack cases...curious if this is a fit?
bliss computers => lg-philips-lp101wh2-tl-a2-laptop-lcd-screen-10-1-wxga-hd-led.aspx (won't let me post links yet)
I emailed the sales department for recomendations ans confirmation on fit for the G tab...of course i'm clueless on what firmware/software mods would be needed. Just ordered mine from amazon so obviously I need to have a plan to gut the poor thing before it shows up

Thickness is the priority when you choose your screen,most laptop screens are 5.2mm and the original screen is 3.6mm, our guys tried something made by lg and plugin with no change of software and it is thicker and only backlight on and nothing show up on the screen at all, when you are going to change the res i guess there are adjustment in something called timesequence or timegraph, you need to change things in driver in the rom,the thing you can see from a datasheet,i do not have experience with those things so my guess may be wrong. i can not tell you whether your screen will work or not, you can have a try if you like. i am also only a ordinary user who are waiting for the result, but i think this is the most promising attempt ever because bigideas seems to be capable of doing such adjustments.this is not yet a fit since no promised result and no detail pictures is released, you do not need to make your decision based on the information above whether you try your own screen or not

so let me see if i get this right?
an order has been placed for 5 screens that should "just work" upon install. correct?
they should have better viewing angles, higher res AND correct thickness?

If I'm reading this right, there has to be a ROM that addresses the screen resolution. It's not plug and play, but in theory it should work.

Photosphere just not looking good

Anyone have a trick to get photosphere images to actually look good?
I stood STILL and took one and it sucks... mind you i did a complete image up and down.
When i only did a 360 degree circle, it looks great!
It's when you start trying to add in the above and below that it all just starts overlapping.
anyone else notice this?

Photosphere is 100% not meant for inside so if you are doing this and expecting good results, don't. That being said on 4.4.1 I noticed excellent photosphere photos. It is optimized for outside (when the distance to the objects around you is like 20 feet (Google's recommendation) and lighting is the same. If the lighting is uneven it is difficult to both get a good focus and blend images together. There is also a making sure yo go slowly, it seems dumb but really works. Also make sure you are rotating the phone not your body.
All in all I am really happy with my photosphere photos on the nexus 5. Much better than my sgs3. I would recommend upgrading to 4.4.1 if you haven't just for the camera improvements.

interesting!!
I'm on 4.4.2, I didn't know it was designed for outdoor use.
When you say move the phone, not your body... what do you mean by that? Don't I have to move my body in order to get the full 360 degree?

Rather than rotating your body which makes the phone rotate in a circle around you, rotate the phone

Feedback wanted - New DIGITAL Animated gear watchface design for SW2

Hi all,
I'm continuing to keep myself busy creating more custom watchface designs whilst I'm in between jobs and am keen to get your feedback on the following animated gears/cogs watchface design that I created. I'm quite happy with the end result and am keen to make some more but before I invest more time in them I'd like to know what you think? I believe it's the first of its type for the Sony SmartWatch 2 as it runs as a proper low-power enabled watch/clock widget rather than an app.
Video of the animation (only whilst the screen of the watch is on):

All feedback welcome! (don't forget to vote in the poll at the top of the page)

Excellent work dude. Marvelous Would you be able to make the watch face little smaller at the bottom or on the top so that other widgets like battery and weather can also be added or is it easy to embed them in your watch face?

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I've had this type of feedback from a few people about all of my watchfaces. Unfortunately with the relatively low resolution of the Sony SmartWatch 2 screen (220x176) it doesn't do well in displaying my watchfaces when scaled down to smaller sizes. Even when it takes the full 5x5 grid I need to do a lot of tweaking to get it to display clearly to make the watchface actually functional (i.e. you can read the time and the date). In terms of embedding widgets into the watchface - this isn't something that I know how to do as it is beyond my technical coding capabilities. For the meantime I suggest that people install the hack so that they can overlay other widgets on top of the watchface.
Originally I felt that it would be cool to have lots of the widgets on my watch, but after a while I realised that I didn't really need them as I could always turn the watch on to access the apps. I found that they cluttered the screen and detracted from being able to see a nice watchface design. That's why my watchface designs are based mostly on utilising the full 5x5 grid size.

Thanks for the immediate response dude. After reading your message, I now started to realise that I don't really use all the widgets as you said. All we need is a good looking watch face that make our watch looks great and is not memory or battery hungry. I will look forward to see the final version of your watch face to buy. Good luck with the project.

Hi, no unfortunately not else that would open a lot of opportunities. It's manually coded in to rotate the gears.

That's great idea :good:
let me guess, you've used the seconds view to make the gears movable

Yep exactly right! You can potentially use this technique to do other types of animation.

Seems pretty neat dude, Ill definitely have to check this out

Like it, I'd purchase but it would have to look bigger. Wouldn't be interested in using any widgets with that watch face so make it bigger. Lose the border & push it out to the edges of the screen & you've got a sale.

Julian, great design, just purchased design #1, which was my wife and daughter favorite. One request? Would it make the hour and minute hands easier to see with a bit darker outline? I realize complications like open face are usually harder to read and the SW2 screen isn't very sharp by design, but it may still make it easier to see the hour and minute hands to tell time. Just a thought, and again, thanks for making the watch even better!

When you say lose the border, do you also mean the border that currently has the roman numerals in it? I can make the hour markers float on top instead...

For example the gold style. Remove the gold border around the edge & push the minute/seconds markers right to the edge of the screen.
