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.

I didn't think an anti-reflective coating was possible for a transflective screen??

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.
Hi Guys,
I am woring on an image processing project on the ATT tilt and I needed some vital information on the camera
1) Manufacturer and model
2) Focal Length of camera
and has a fix been found to disable the autofocus as that i causing some problems in the image processing.
Does anybody have any registry tweaks that can be used for the camera to speedup the autofoucs/disable it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
There was a previous thread showing that you can speed up the frame rate with a simple 3 step process. It does work but it has to be done every time you start the camera up and it removes the cameras ability to autoadjust light settings. Not sure how it effects focus.
1. Start up the camera.
2. Put the phone to sleep (just click power button)
3. Cover the camera lens with your palm or point it towards a dark place ( i have found a SMALL amount of light help)
4. With camera still in the dark, wake the phone back up.
You will notice the camera stutters for a second and then the frame rate jumps up incredibly. You are almost seing real time action (half second delay). The side effect is the lack of focus and light detection. Not sure if this helps you but its cool to try anyway. I would not that it does capture video with increased video and sound sample rates.
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.

Hi
My Diamond's Camera has a problem
Ccamera's speed is very low
And so makes a tick
But sometimes is good
Where is the problem you think?
Diamond's camera (same as video recording) is really hard to focus and has bad performance in dark condition.
Issues:
- colours are washed out
- flash is either too dark or way too bright
I tested this phone with a 5MP Sony Xperia Sola with as similar settings as I could and every time either the flash was dim or overly bright and every time the colours were washed out. The other phone has a lower screen resolution and the camera has fewer megapixels (I know there's much more than that to the quality but as an idea).
Has anyone else tested the phone beside an old phone / a friend's phone?
To be honest, the camera wasn't a top priority, but I was pretty shocked at the quality - so I had to ask! I've tried every setting on the camera.
