Wasn't it concluded that the Dutch version (even though it improved the graphics benchmark) did not really improve the video play?
i dont understand everything, but i send news info, for users which doesnt look for HTCclassaction
I liked this part most of all.
Before we continue on that point, there's something else you should know. There is also a leaked Diamond ROM. We have pulled this ROM apart and guess what: it has graphics drivers! They follow the same structure as the KS20 drivers too, with the "ahi2dati" driver at the core of the hardware accelerated graphics, talking to the hardware. It seems to be a bit more compatible with the current Kaiser ROMs, but note we have not compared the internal calls (yet!) to the new leaked NLD and WWE ROMs. Also note that because of this construct, it does not seem to be possible do drop in the libgles_cm hardware 3D driver.

hmm not so good
pretty misleading subject line then... maybe should have been something like "Drivers are here!! (On the Diamond)" or something like that, because the way its looking, we are still going to be without drivers from HTC...thanks alot.
Why create such a thread title if not only is it not true, but you have no idea on what you're talking about? Seriously, stop spreading stupid rumors and making stuff up
Well it does say that they think they have the leaked FIX (not driver) over at modaco.com..
I just don't think people realize that a driver and a fix are two different things. On the bright side, it does seem that the driver we do have might be upgraded to something a bit better. Maybe not 100% but still better then what we do have.
(and dont' way we don't have a driver at all, you do have video on your phone)

Absolutely! I was so excited when I saw the subject line and so disappointed when I saw what it was talking about....sigh....
according to htc our hardware doesn't support graphic acceleration (don't know how much truth is there) so i don't even know if its worth following the driver update ...

No according to HTC we don't use the hardware.
The wording matters.

thanks for the clarrification senior
Indeed the title of this topic is a bit misleading, BUT there is some good news at HTCClassAction:
If this is true, it would definitely open doors to bringing full hardware acceleration to the TyTN II, and possibly other MSM7x00 based devices. We have a TyTN II ROM that somehow touches the accelerated video hardware (NLD, probably WWE), we have fully accelerated drivers from HTC (Diamond), and we already have some prior experience due to the KS20 drivers. Throw them all together and it suddenly becomes a lot more likely the community will be able to bring full graphics drivers to the affected devices. Interesting times! Stay tuned, the effort has already begun!

modaco.com was also one of the early Kaiser reviewers who either deliberately or ignorantly didn't comment on the graphics problems in the first place. That site has zero credibility in my book.

I've had a stinking feeling that reviewers were reviewing preproduction devices that had drivers. That is what the Sedna review from the Spanish site Todo Smartphone.com leads me to believe anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381254
Perhaps it's not their fault. I would like to see them always do ROM dumps and benchmarks.

Maybe, but the threat of being cut off from future preproduction review units could have something to do with the silence of some of the review sites.
Not to accuse anybody of anything in this case, but I worked in IT publishing for a long time and saw a lot of dirty tricks played by the tech companies.
I'm looking for an app to add slow motion effects to videos. The only apps that I've found converts the whole video to slow motion. I'd like to select a part of the video and add slo-mo.
Any suggestion?

Don't take me wrong but do you really take reviews into consideration so much without even giving app a try by yours? I used it and found it good. Not a legendary work though but still that app works great

I do. I'm dubious about anything under 3.5. Unless its the only app with that function, I won't try it.

i always take reviews into consideration, but its not my final consideration. i did try it, and it works(to a point). id say the rating it has is pretty accurate as it is trying to push other things onto the user, besides the videos that they make for themselves.
I read reviews but not always. Anyway, back to the topic.

No I'm not its developer. I just reviewed it.
The rumor mill in full swing yet again.
https://www.phonearena.com/news/Mi-Mix-2s-leaks_id102401
Check those pics people. Interesting choices by Xiaomi? If there's any validity to this, it could be the next evolution of the bezel-less craze, short of putting front cam under the screen, or ditching it altogether (which will never happen).
Just as intriguing to me is the notion of a sub-display fingerprint reader. The would mean an OLED screen as well, which would move the MIX series even closer to perfection in my opinion.
Rumor also states that this stuff would be revealed sooner rather than later, likely right before or around MWC. I'll definitely be following along closely. I love my MIX 2.
Yeah, have seen it too. Listen up, I do not have a much trust about fingerprint reader on display yet. Kudos to Synaptics, but it still needs getting fine-tuned. Plus from day to day factor I will probably find no reason for upgrade. This phone has almost perfect params. The cam is sorta bummer a bit but that aint a big bother, at least to me. Perhaps I will change mi mind but right now I don't think so.
I wish they would just remove the selfie camera and give me a 100% StB ratio phone. I don't need it. But I know their target demographics do.

Secondig this. I am no selfie material either but I understand that especially youngsters take them.
Looks good however, won't have much developer support just like the current mi mix 2. Too bad!!

On the other hand there's been at least a couple of. I would go for one being close to stock with no big bummer. If that happens with Oreo, I am done. I don't need 25 custom roms. But I understand how difficult it gets for our devs.
Currently rocking RR on my MIX2 and couldn't be happier. Agree with @enzo_cz who cares about a million different ROMs, as long as you have a few solid options.
But I do miss the OLED screen quality of my previous OnePlus5. LCD is so washed out now to me.

After setting the color of display correctly I don't see a difference (mix2 looks even better in my opinion).

Hi guys.. i made my first video for YouTube. Have been reviewing phones for a while but for 3rd parties.
This time did my own thing.
Please have a look and share your feedback.. do you guys like it?
Starting small and looking for your feedback.
Thanks

I like the video generally, a much better job than I could do. :good:
2 points (they are my opinions only remember haha);
1) when you do the photo comparisons section, the music/ theme of the review seems to suddenly change, and then change back. It doesn't flow.
2) Again, in the photo comparison section, all the photos are pixelated. You get an overall idea of image comparison, but pixelated images are a shame!
Top man for doing it though, keep on keeping on!

Thanks for your kind feedback.. I'm still learning the editing tricks and will try to update the camera comparison shots with better quality output.. your point is valid about the music too.. blame it on my poor editing knowledge.. I'll learn and do it better in the next one for sure!
Thanks again!

when you add music tracks, do it after cutting or adding to the video...
I didn't see all of it yet, but what I saw looked pretty good. I noticed the pixelated photos too, so would be good if you can fix that. Personally I would say make them fill the screen more too, even if you have to crop them to do them both together, or one after the other.
Another very small point, but when you're sat in front of the camera on the steps, there's too much sky. It is a small point, but it's a pet peeve of mine, usually from people taking photos. They put the head in the centre of the shot and end up with loads of sky or ceiling ?
Love that you have a proper/half decent mic though, so many reviewers don't bother about audio.
I like it!

About the mic.. starting slow as all good things are quite expensive but hopefully will increase the equipment standard in coming videos.

I would say really good review. At one point I thought the transitions were getting a little much, but it's only a small thing and might not bother most people. I missed you talking to the camera yourself though

I really needed this feature! I get that some people didn't like it, but all you had to do was turn it off! This is why we can't have nice things...
Lol you must be joking.
Checkout in gallery edit image options. May be they've put something similar there. So that after you've made a picture, you could edit it with similar or the same effect. I haven't searched myself. And in the pervious phones I haven't used the thing you've mentioned, but I have seen it and only tested it out and it was nice. And indeed it worked very well.

Samsung's beauty mode was the best, I've tried all the 3rd party apps in Play, they aren't as good and they're loaded with ads! Not only could beauty mode do skin smoothing, it also did face shape correction because the front cam was so wide it distorts your face.
