I know the Kaiser is not out yet, and I know for fact that I will be one of the first buyers, because the Kaiser simply rocks
But lets face it! what do you guys think is missing in the Kaiser (tytn II), and makes you wish to have in the upcoming successor (tytn III maybe)
for me, this is my wish list:
1- SiRFIII not A-GPS (SiRFIII seems more sensitive, A-GPS takes too much time for initial fix based on my experience with the Trinity)
2- A built-in flash for the camera for night shots (5 MP would be nice also)
3- VGA screen (this will soon become a standard in all devices i think)
4- Blending the screen edges or level with the device body in a manner similar to the HTC touch and enabling the Touch-Cube
5- FM Tuner
hmmmmmmm not so important also but would be nice to have a 3.5mm or 2.5mm jack for stereo headphones and not being restricted to the mini-usb.....
For me, I would like to see the following:
1. VGA output via USB (for connecting to a data projector)
2. Support mobile TV standard like DVB-H
3. A flash light like that in Hermes, so that I can use it as a torch at night.
well I already said im getting one to replace my ill fated 8125. But here is a short list I would have loved to see this phone have but sizewise no way it would of fit in.
Fm radio
Video out
VGA screen
sterio speakers
A flash
standard headphone jack
Built in HD of 4+ gb (apple has more then proven it can be done so do it)
GPU of the GeForce flavor
A cdma chip to match its GMS set up make it a true world phone
Higher res cam 3.0 is nice but still fairly weak
Toss those into the bad boy and well yea it would be just kick ass.
+4gb HD
+1GB Ram
VGA
TV tuner
FM tuner
+1ghz processor
multitouch screen
very bright xeon flash.
IR port. (for using as a remote for my TV)
+6mp camera (even tho it already has a good camera)
Louder, clearer, stereo speakers with bass.
I only want a VGA screen!!
Why have a 4G HD when you can have a 4G or more micro SD card. MicroSD consumes less power and easy to move around and replace. With a HD, you are stuck with what it is. No upgradability.
And for the camera, it is the marketing people who want us to believe more pixels equate better photos. What we really need is a good quality lens and CMOS sensor. That is what makes good photo. My Canon Powershot S30 (3 mega pixels) produces much better photos to the many 6 or more M pixels photos from other cameras.
vga screen and tv out. nothing else..

I agree ... big time agree
Phone manufacturers are fooling all of u with the pixel game... they dont talk much about sensor and lense because they know what the result will show.... not to mention the zoom .... one excuse in the past that cell phones have no optical zooms because it will make the phone bulky ... well this is maybe true in the past ... but one look at sony's new cybershots DSC-t100 for example will tell you that everthing now is changed
My wish list would be:-
FM Radio
3.5mm audio jack
VGA toughened touch Screen which is also flush to make it easy to clean
Camera flash which doubles as torch
Infrared (I know it's a bit obsolete but I currently use IR on Vario 2 (hermes) as my TV and Sky remote )
Don't want much do I
Oh yea Nicky flush screen is a good one.
The Hermes suffers from screen misalignment mainly because of the dusts getting into the sides!
But the Kaiser should have a 3.5mm audio jack via an adaptor cable like the Hermes.
my dream is a kaiser exactly like it is now.....
but with a weight of 120 max 130 grams
1. FM Tuner
2. 3.5mm "standard" audio-out port
3. VGA Screen
4. Few mms thinner and narrower!
my wish list for the Kaiser II
VGA screen
Multi touch screen ala Iphone
3.5mm head phone socket
USB host
IR which will operate TV etc accross a room
Battery life of a Nokia 6310
Wake from standby on receipt of SMS, MMS, Email, IM
Webcam functionality
Network share folder
Camera flash
Reliable alarm
Decent carrier supplied ROM.
Twin sim slots
Ability to multitask eg. TomTom, MediaPlayer, IM and phone call simultaneously.
Oh and I want it to weigh next to nothing, be droppable without scratching and to survive being dropped in water.

lol The water one is a good one, I have lost two phones now by accidentally dropping them in water .. whoops
Sounds like you might be a little unlucky with your current phone though because my Vario 2 (Hermes) already has a reliable alarm (albeit with 3rd party software) and has no problem waking for SMS, IM etc... it isn't too bad on the multi-tasking front either .. ie. media player and Tomtom running simultaneously and streaming all via A2DP to my headset .. didn't think that was too bad going although an incoming call can throw a spanner in the works sometimes

well let me rephrase what i ment.
6mo Cmos Camera. the same quality as the kaiser but higher resolution.
and for the HD, yes i thought about that, but ROM is much faster than a storage card usually. so actually i'd like 1-4gb of Rom.
I only want
* decent quality finish (it should not peel off in two weeks)
* for christ's shake, ANTI REFLECTIVE SCREEN
the rest is okay.
Many have asked for 3.5mm audio plug for Kaiser for use with headphones. I think I have read somewhere that audio coming out from the USB port would be much cleaner than the 3.5 mm analog audio port. Reason is the USB port is digital so there is no need for the digital to analog conversion. Hence the USB headphones are in general preferred over the analog headphone if audio quality if a prime consideration.

yes, it is. i had heard an dread the same. which is why i want the usb audio port. i remember the 2.5 and 3.5mm slots would break or get stuck, but usb would not do that. plus it would be much faster, no need to wait for it to switch profiles and lag your phone.

I can't comment on the Kaiser's picture quality but when I owned a 8525, I never used the flash. The flash in 8525/Hermes, to me, was a joke. It did not really make any difference unless you were taking macro pictures at night. I'm glad that Tilt does not have it. One less thing to worry about. Just my opinion.
the only real use to the ''flash'' was the awesome flash-light.

agreed - I miss the flashlight.
the TyTN2 camera takes longer from button-push to snapshot than the TyTN - sometimes 2 seconds. Light sensitivity is better, but it's still a phone. Auto-focus seems to help but who can wait all that time?
yes the slow response time is kinda annoying. the pic quality is ok even without the flash, definitely not as good as my P1i sony ericsson.
The camera is better than the TyTN but no flash leads for very jumpy framerates in low light conditions. Nicest thing is the two-press camera button. Half press for focus and full press to take - much more like any other camera-phone. Quality still not up to that of a SE or a small digital camera though...

Agreed - camera quality passable but not a patch on my K800i.
slow..

yeah..i agree with the slow response,i was getting ready to call htc,but i see its just not my phone..it really suck waiting for the pic.
The image quality is OK (good for 3MP phone camera).
But the camera operation is very slow, jumpy and blurry when there are lot of movement of the object or when you pan the phone. I hate this.
And yes, the lag is really, really annoying You will not be able to take picture of moving object!
Flip chart text legible after transfer to PC?
Can someone share an image of a "flip chart" with letters or numerals approximately the same height as a man's palm?
I'm trying to decide between the Tilt (3MP, no flash) and the BB Curve (2MP, with flash). Shooting flip charts in typical conference room light with no natural window light is the only camera utilization that I expect. The images will be captured on the device, then transferred to a PC for transcription -- with essentially infinite optical zoom capability available.
Best,
Camera speed with shutter sound disabled?
Does your Tilt/Tytn II camera speed increase with shutter sound disabled? I read that idea on another thread but haven't seen it confirmed here or elsewhere.
seems pretty good to me...

Does anyone else notice a click when the camera has finished focusing?
its normal. my sony ericsson K790a with autofocus clicks after focusing as well.
Def miss the flashlight... but mainly because of using it as a flashlight to look for things
But the refresh late is appauling which is annoying
Having said that, if you are stable and get rid of any shaking, i think the camera is actually really good. I took some scenery pictures in the car while going to Kent and even though we were moving at 70mph or so, they came out without any blurryness or noise on the pictures.
If they get rid of the refresh rate in darker (and I dont mean even dusk type light but just not daylight) areas, the camera will be perfect (for a phone)
I just upgraded from my old nokia 6682 to the kaiser. Here's two shots of roughly the same thing.
Nokia 6682:
Kaiser:
This is low light night conditions. Nokia is a complete joke. Kaiser is infinitely better but still no comparison to ccd cameras.
It's real slow taking pictures. That's for sure. And the only way to get digital camera replacement shots is to be really really still while taking it, which is real hard when it takes multiple seconds to take the picture.
edit: sorry I'll take a different set of pictures tomorrow. Noticed something in the pictures
I currently own a Diamond 1 and am considering upgrading to a diamond 2. Can anyone help me out and answer these qs to help me make a decision.
1) Ring Delay: In the original diamond, when using the htc dialer the phone will always ring 3 seconds after the person calls. Does this happen with the new topaz dialer?
2) Speakers. Is it any louder than the diamond? I found the original diamond speaker to be really soft.
3) Hard buttons. In the original diamond, the buttons sometimes didn't work properly. For eg. Sometimes the end key button will register as the back key and will need a soft reset to fix. Does the topaz have similar issues? Is it easy click the buttons and not register as the button next to it?
4) GPS lag: I read through the forum and it seems like the topaz still has it. Is it any less/more noticeable compared to the original diamond?
5) Camera: I don’t expect the camera to be any good even though its 5mp. But how does it compare to other camera phones? Is it much of an improvement to the original diamond. When taking photos, does it always turn out blurry no matter how still you hold it like the diamond 1?
Any comments will be highly appreciated. Cheers
1) No.
2) I can't compare to the Diamond 1, But they are lound enough to be heared.
3) The buttons work properly
4) You can regtweak the GPS, Also QuickGPS will shorten the 'lag' For me, I just wait 10 seconds
5) The camera is great. 5MP takes good photo's, It doesn't blur... You can hold the phone how you want
The camera was a surprise. I wasn't expecting much with HTCs past record, but it's good enough for proper sharp colourful printable pictures. The lens is excellent, sharp from edge to edge.
You do need to watch the exposure carefully because HTC's exposure evaluation system is crap. I leave the "brightness" set on "-1" all the time.
The higher ISO settings (400 and 800) are actually OK as regards noise (speckling), but on my phone I sometimes get sharp horizontal interference bands in shadow areas which spoil high ISO pics.
For daytime use I don't feel the need to take a proper camera with me any more.

I agree with all the above
Ive dumped android and Looking at choosing a WP8 between HTC 8X / Ativ S / Lumia 920. Not interested in anything below 1 GB Ram, 16GB storage.. 32 or more is better.
I use my phone for Music / Photos and a few apps like Weave (WP8 version of Flipboard) and some minor customisation apps.
What Ive heard is:
Ativ S has very low almost inaudible ringtone and sound volume, average to poor camera, still on Pentile blueish OMLED display, No samsung support, so no apps but excellent music player (Wolfson sound chip), syncs perfectly with PC and Media centres no issues/ removable battery (good but not essential) and an SD card slot / sparse
Nokia 920.. really buggy broken Nokia music player, Sync to PC with media player issues, erratic and poor battery power (discharges for no reason), but amazing camera, lots of Nokia exclusive and useful apps, bigger 32GB storage Great 4.5" screen.
HTC 8X... 4.3" is a bit small for me, but would go back if phone was fantastic, just 16GB or storage, erratic battery, average camera.
Can anyone help me out with these points, are they true, and which should I look at.
Thanks

I'd actually pick whichever one has the best deal right now are you getting a new plan or an upgrade? I'd personally just wait for the Nokia 1020. Either that or one with Micro SD.
8x
of all your options i would suggest the 8x i have it and think its great games are smooth camera is pretty good beats audio is amazing or you can wait for the 1020
Thanks for the replies, appreciated , Im actually 6 months into a 2 year contract with EE, so ide just be swapping my S3 LTE for one of them. I looked at the 1020 and the 8X. Both look great and Samsung is just Samsung.. works with every thing any codec any app.
I like 8X but it would mean dropping from 4.8 to 4.3 screen, but plus side.. No blue-y pentile AMOLED. Im a big fan of Beats.. the sound chip not the crappy headphones (I use Sonnheiser buds anyway).
Theres just too many issues with the 920 for comfort, or I could keep my S3 and pick up a cheap 2nd hand 8x or 8s.
Ill probably go 8X for the camera and screen.. but anymore help would be appreciated.
Cheers
ATIV S has the largest screen and the largest battery (even though it's removable) while still managing to be one of the thinnest WP models. The camera is good for a phone but nothing special the way the 920's camera is. I have no trouble hearing the ringtone, but I keep the volume up when not on headphones. Sound quality is nothing amazing but is certainly adequate for a non-audiophile. It's also the only high-end WP8 device with an SD slot; the value of 80GB of phone storage is incredible for people with large music/video collections. I can atttest to the fact that support from Samsung is meh, but there have been firmware updates released and the OEM apps (things like call blocking and other such utility/feature apps in addition to the general stocks/weather/notes/whatever apps) are updated regularly.
The music player and syncing are using the same software on all WP8 devices so you won't see a difference in supported Codecs on any of them. A Nokia and a Samsung will be exactlly the same in that regard. The display on the Ativ S is the same as on the SGS3 which in both cases means PenTile AMOLED.
The Ativ S unfortunately is the only one of the phones mentioned that does not provide an Equalizer or anything else to improve sound over headphones. You get an Equalizer + Beats on the 8X or Equalizer + Dolby Headphone on the 920/820/925/1020.
As for battery life: the Ativ S will last you definitely longer than the Lumia 920 (the difference is bigger than the 300 mAh difference leads you to believe. At least in my usage and I have both the 920 and the Ativ S.

Besides a buggy whatsapp app (which has been fixed by now) my Lumia 920 has had no problems with the battery what so ever. I am just about to plug it in after 36hrs of usage. The speakers in the 920 are great and the camera is good as well.
I prefer the Nokia music player over the default one. At first it stopped remembering playlists etc, but after a few updates (and now whatsapp doesnt abuse music api anymore) I have no problems with it at all. The Nokia exclusive apps should be the main reason to go with them, so an 820 with replaceable battery and SD card slot could be a good choice as well. I don't use sync to PC so can't help you on that.

Got an 820 about a week ago, an am very happy with it. Somewhat inferior camera compared to 920 but otherwise it's very comparable and feels much smaller.

The reason I chose the 920 over an 820 was the screen brightness and quality. I loved the design of the 820 more (even though I've grown quite fond of my 920's design) but the screen on the 920 was looking a lot better when I compared them in the store. I've heard other people say the prefer the 820 screen over the 920 though, because of the better display of black so it's just personal preference.
I chose the samsung ativ s for LTE support on TMO. It is the thinnest phone, the sd card support is huge in my book and I love the screen. Pentile or no pentile. I have had no problem finding accessories for it off of amazon - currently sporting a jcase on it. I have seen both the 8x and 920 and they just seemed bigger. I don't have a problem with the ringtones, the speaker phone is a tad low for my tastes.
All that being said - if music is your thing - I would avoid a win8 phone until they fix how to make a playlist. OMG is it frustrating. You need a degree just to figure it out.
Right now for Windows Phone, a Nokia device is the way to go. With all the support the carrier has thrown behind Windows Phone, there is just no other choice. All the exclusive Nokia apps and functionality, the awesome camera on the 920 (and the 1020), and just the general excellent support that Nokia has given WP/Microsoft, its difficult to go with anyone else at this point.
Nokia Music is an app on Nokia devices that is optional. You don't have to use it if you don't like it. I haven't heard any complaints about it, more praise than anything. Windows Phone has a music player built in, and if you are referring to that player being buggy, then its the same on every device, as that is a built-in Windows Phone system app and is no different on any other device from any manufacturer.
Sync to PC is also exactly the same for any Windows Phone device. So if one phone is having issues, you can experience similar issues between all devices from any manufacturer. That being said, the PC software to sync is mostly to blame, as its pretty terrible, but will be updated as time goes on. You can always use mass storage mode to sync media if you choose to, you don't have to use the Windows Phone desktop software.
Battery issues can be found on all devices. Personally I have had great luck with my Lumia 920, providing enough battery power to last me through the day. As with any operating system, the biggest factor in battery life is apps. Everyone uses different apps, and some know how to manage their power usage, while others eat up electricity like its going out of style. Games especially take their toll on Windows Phones, but in most cases, I hear good things about the 920's battery management.
Agree in nokia, except for the lack of SD, nokia is the way to go,
but wait for the 1020 or go for the 925 the weigth of the 920 is not worth unless you are using the wireless power charge.
Lumia.

My advice is: buy a Lumia.
Great camera, high quality materials and Nokia have a big support for his smartphone (all camera's app, Amber update, ecc)
I suppose the ATIV S external speaker could be louder, but it's not quiet. I usually have no problem hearing my phone, and can even play music to a (relatively) quiet room using it. The rear camera is not up to Lumia 920 quality, much less 1020 quality, but it's not bad. The front camera is actually much better than on any Lumia I've seen yet. The display is pentile AMOLED, but the resolution is so high that I have no problem with it, and I haven't observed it to be "blueish". Samsung support was late coming - the phone's firmware shipped with some pretty bad bugs - but there was a firmware update shipped along with GDR2 that fixed most issues for me. The Samsung apps list, while less impressive than the Nokia one, isn't terrible and includes some cool stuff (like app folders) that the others don't have. It's also possible to install apps from other OEMs anyhow. The built-in Diagnosis app is easy to access and includes some cool stuff like wired tethering (gets around most tethering restrictions). The battery is not only removable, it's also larger than that of any other WP8 device.
Hey guys
First of all, sorry I have to use a translator.
2 questions:
1, still has who that problem that the speaker (ear) scratches? I now have the third phone where this occurs and at some point all the participants in the conversation are scratchy audible. Little info about this, even all 3 phones have the problem that the USB port wobbles at some point.
To the actual,
Topic-SUPERPIXEL
So what about 7 +? ICh had followed the performances, live and and, it was mentioned and presented extra big.
The thing is now the,
A. one does not notice in any preset about this, either in 16MP or in 4Mp, apart from that only the 4MP is likely to be a superpixel image, but it would also have to have the same Aspect ratio, namely 16MP 4:3 to 4MP 4:3, but there are only 4MP 16:9.
When you talk to Nokia about it (and I have that often and long), there are the most curious answers.
-SUPERPIXEL does not exist
-SUPERPIXEL has never been announced or unveiled
-SUPERPIXEL is not going because the SENSOR does not have super-large pixels
-16MP is the superpixel image (ok, 4 becomes one, so we have a sensor that in the original offers four times 16MP? Good joke.
-4MP is correct and yes it must have the same ASPECT ratio, which it has (no that is not true and you don't see any of it either)
Even to the question why all other apps can only recognize and use 4MP, Nokia does not give an answer, even if one points out the false SUPERPIXEL answers,
And I also mean, no answer, means that as soon as one draws attention to the wrong information the conversations are canceled or ignored.
Happens via email, chat, facebook chat.
Even the contacts who were responsible for more intensive conversations and long conversations simply no longer answer, emails are answered (manually) with the statement one is not domestic, knows nothing or cannot answer.
In the Facebook Chat where you tried really for a long time and also realized that you get conflicting information with deeper internal requests just doesn't answer anymore.
There is massively something lazy, even if it only sounded funny, with these 4MP, this 16MP and that Superpixel is missing is true what is not.
Since the 16MP looks even worse visually (zoom) than with a third provider camera app in 4MP, there is a real suspicion that the 4MP will be scaled up to 16MP (which of course does not make the picture better) instead of taking from 16MP to 4 pixels each to one (What PureView or Superpixel means).
I think slowly there is really something lazy.
I've had this problem too.
--still has who that problem that the speaker (ear) scratches? I now have the third phone where this occurs and at some point all the participants in the conversation are scratchy audible. Little info about this, even all 3 phones have the problem that the USB port wobbles at some point.
For the phone mic being scratchy, I have a small air hand pump (bicycle pump) which I use to clean out the mic holes (2 that I can see. I heard there's 3 but I don't know where the 3rd one is). Hope this helps.
Please bear with me, I'm not kidding and this is the weirdest stuff.
I have a nice tv in my living room, but the sound is 'just' a Katana X soundbar that I used to connect to my PC in the past. Recently I noticed something completely bizarre: I was trying to take a cat pic (cat sitting in front of the tv) with my P30P and the volume of the soundbar exploded. After going near-deaf and looking really, really stupid I did some experiments: When I open the camera app and roughly point at the tv / soundbar, the Katana rapidly increases in volume as if I'd press the "Volume Up" button on its remote.
I do NOT need to take a picture. It's enough to just open the camera. Trying to explain this wacky behavior I .. assume that's the auto-focus / depth sensing or something? Just to state the obvious: This is NOT intended and doesn't happen with other handsets (say my gf's Samsung S9).
Questions:
- Is this an issue that came up before, for anyone?
- Is there any reasonable way to report that as a bug to Huawei? As in - a way that's actually reaching them?
TL/DR: My P30P is a 3rd party remote control for my soundbar with only one button, 'Volume+', that is fired constantly as long as the camera app is active....
Maybe when you use the camera application the IR blaster sent signal to your sounbar....
While I've never experienced this before, I can possibly guess why. The Time-of-Flight sensor next to your cameras transmit pulses of infra-red light in order to map out 3D shapes. While the exact wavelength of this signal is designed to be different to most IR remotes, it's possible that your soundbar uses a non-standard IR frequency that matches the ToF transmitter, resulting in it misinterpreting your camera as the volume up command on a remote.
Do you use your IR remote for controlling your soundbar? If not, a temporary measure would be to use opaque black tape to cover the IR receiver on the soundbar.
Thats not a bug! thats a feature!
only if we could control it to use as a IR blaster and universal controler.
