Accelerometer in live action - Pocketnow video - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Another video from Pocketnow.com...
Seems to be a neat freature. I guess the delay with the browser is due to the rendering of the website. The website cannot change to any orientation while it is loaded and rendered. After its done, it works fine...

BS.
I can swich orientation fast and easy, even while loading the page...
Perhaps they've got an older ROM?

That game teeter even gets to levels that don't have "flat" backgrounds, so there are multiple dimensions of gravity on screen. It really is a breakthrough application for such functionality. PHENOMENALLY impressive.

vTap

I downloaded vTap and loaded it onto the latest HTC Official WM 6.1 ROM and it closes when you press the play button to start a movie.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
try soft reset after installing...u might have to take the Vtap icon off ur home screen also since it puts it there automatically after install/reset...
i installed it a week ago, ive reset many times since then and removed the today icon right away. There just isn't enough room on the today screen for all this stuff!
Anyways, it just crashes when the video starts to play (I don't get to see any video, it crashes right away)

I know this is specifically for vtap, but you can use other, more reliable, methods to watching youtube or any kind of flash video.
vtap was just too much. Quality wasn't that good either compared to tcpmp.

is there any application that works like vTap? Those 2 links are websites. I like programs more then websites for my Pocket PC because of the screen size and overall speed of programs is just faster then websites.
EDIT: The avot mv thing is an app, but its REALLY choppy and it doesn't preserve the aspect ratio (it stretches the video to fit in the screen), but im guessing the choppiness is thanks to those GREAT drivers from HTC.

the avot mv is a program u download to ur device from tht site its similar to Vtap (i like vTap better tho) and the tcpmp player and bundle are also on the other link so u can go directly to youtube and play from there...ur choice...
I have used TCMP w/ flash plugin and i have vTAP on my kiaser right now and it works great... no issues at all. I like its simplicity of use.
When I use Vtap, the quality of the video is really poor.. is it suppose to be like that?
vtap resolution worthless IMO

Hello. I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. We have just released a new version of the client which should greatly improve the video quality when playing Youtube, or Metacafe videos.
You can download the latest client by pointing you browser to www.vtap.com and downloading the client.
Here are some details of what is fixed in this release:
http://forum.vtap.com/index.php?topic=4.0
Once you install the client, you will want to enable the DirectPlay option under Tools/Options/Media
Inorder to enable the direct draw option, you will need to install some additional files on your phone. More detals about this can be found in our FAQ #15 - http://forum.vtap.com/index.php?topic=6.0
Please give this a try, and let me know if you see an improvement.
Thanks!
You could also try the new CorePlayer 1.2.1 which has a Youtube viewer in it.
Is there a thread somewhere with instructions on how to install and configure TCPMP with flash bundle? I have tried getting this working on my Tilt with no success.
I'm going to try out CorePlayer in the meantime. Thanks for the suggestion.

Games on Diamond with odd resolution

Hello,
Ive downloaded and tried some games on my Diamond. Like SimCity SOciitiets Mobile. I just have one problem. The game starts and all is good, but it is just a small square in the top left. The game doesnt cover the screen? Its really really hard to see anything.
Can i change resolution or something? Some games does cover the whole scren, and some dont.. Anyone know why?

I think your right.
Some support various resolutions, and screen sizes but not VGA. Whereas some will be full screen but ive noticed a bit fuzzy in quality as the image is being zoomed in to fit (if that makes sense?)
Is there anyway to force it to be fullscreen even tough its not 640x480?
Its seems that almost every java mobile game is for poor resolution. Ive tried the NVD software that changes the resolution. But its very hard to load the game after you have changed the resolution.. Anyone has any idea how to change the resolution on start of the game, and then go back to normal?
Any news on this matter?
Almost all java programs are not usable.

XTRAKT: the first games to run smoothly on the touch HD! Works on the Touch Pro!

This is the first game with such great graphics and to run so soothly on the Touch Pro. The only thing I found to kinda be cut off because of the difference in screen size is the loading screen.
EDIT: Well after looking closer I found that while playing the game the left part of the screen is slightly cut off not allowing you to see your score. But is still good enough to play.

Test is out yourself!

If at first the game does not work thy this:
3D Drivers
I just installed it, neat game. I can't believe they didn't use the accelerometer for steering. Steering and shooting with the stylus is impossible at later levels. Since the game gives you separate scores for shooting, steering, and stunts... you'll take a hit on shooting or steering.
But the game is playable. Perhaps if the game was using a different orientation (dpad in the left hand)... you could steer with the Dpad and shoot with the stylus.
It is smooth and the graphics look great. Thanks for sharing!
White Screen

Try this
http://www.4shared.com/file/94903988/46937ade/Driver_Ati_d3d.html
They are 3d drivers
Control really isn't optimal, but I guess since it's meant for another device... The help screens are cutoff and I can't make out some of the controls. Did figure out if you start the game after opening the keyboard, can use the Up/Down arrows on the kb to steer.
The game does look pretty good!
Works, but the right-hand side is cut off. Regardless, it's a great game, but the controls are a bit wonkey (maybe because I'm not good), still playable though, completed the first level. I had to exit by going to the control panel.
And the drivers you posted are the same as here. Right?:
http://www.fuzemobility.com/the-new-3d-drivers-are-here-with-video/
Now if only I can get FPSE to do this graphics rendering so well with PS1 games!
White screen
This is my first post! So... hello!
I had the same problem with white screen (mSD isntallation). I have 3d drivers installed.
After installing it in the device memory it works great!
Definitely the best looking game I've seen so far. Now if we could only get a version for our screen resolution lol
was anyone able to beat the first boss?
for some reason, I can't hit the corners of the stupid shield...
If you click around where the orange corners are you have to do it pretty quick and hit all of the corners or it won't drop the shield.
To those having trouble with the steering/shooting
I found it much easier to open up the keyboard and use z/x to steer left and right with your left hand. This leaves you right hand free to control the shooting. Also you don't have to hit home to exit. Although the majority of the quit button is cut off, you can hit the edge of it if you look in the top corners.
very nice game ... i'm waiting the touch pro porting with gsens and VGA resolution
yeah, been using it on my touch pro (latest official rom) since it came out. works well (apart from sides cut off ofcourse) but everything is accessible (tap small blue area top left to go back or just use dpad). still cant beat first boss. hope an update will have gsensor enabled or something
The hardest thing about beating the boss is you not hitting it, especially when it shields itself. I found that you have to hit the orange spot a little offset to the left. I was able to get rid of the shield pretty fast this way.
The problem is, it doesn't die right away!! You'd better hope you get through the first form within a min and a half, or you may not have enough time for the next form :/
screens??

Thanks a bunch. This game plays very smoothly on the fuze. Even though it is sized for wvga, the game is still fully playable.
It's absurd that WinMo doesn't have games that utitilze the full 3D accelerator of this $300 phone. Will be on the hunt for more of this type.
not working on i900/ omnia any reasons why just says
the file cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted csrtificate or one of its components cannot be found if the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring this file,
iv got it installed to main memory and installed the 3d drivers just incase,
any ideas how to make it work please

display driver fix for the HTC youtube client??

Is there any way at all to do a fix for either the youtube client or the X1's display drivers such that it display the Youtube vid correctly?
I am using Wild Child's latest rom and for some strange reason when I play the tube file the first time in landscape mode a white line is in the button of the screen and in the left hand side of the screen, but then I play the same file the second time those stripes are gone?
This happen with every second youtube file
Is it a hardware or software issue??
As far as I can tell this has been there in all of the youtube applications with various drivers, the new manila rom doesnt use r3 drivers...and its still there...

to be honest, i don't consider this a bug at all. so there's a thin white line - so what? what bug's me more is the fact that the videos still have to be fully buffered before playing or you'll have video-lag. (happens via 3g and wlan with every rom i've tried so far, not via activesync)
if i remember correctly this had to something with drivers too, but i didn't follow the corresponding threads lately. any news on that?

It did not happen with R1A, only with subsequent R2/R3 ROMS and I'm assuming custom ROMs based off of it.
I also really wish someone with the expertise would step up and help us out with this one.
The reason why it is buffered is to somewhat avoid the lag in video, this was dne on purpose...I mean even on your computer when accessing some sites to view video's through say windows media player it will buffer the video... As I stated in my earlier post...I have tried various drivers and that software bug is still there.......

you ever noticed, how video-playback is lagging, but audio is normal while buffering? that's what i meant. hit "pause" and let it load the full video first, everything will be normal.
so no, that's not like on the computer...

I may be wrong but if you try on an old computer with a 528MHz processor and the same ram size, I think it will be laggy too...

depends on what OS this pc has to run... and yes, an old pentium-m underclocked to 600 mhz plays them fine.
anyhow, look above: it didn't happen with the first firmware. it doesn't happen if it's connected via active sync. it obviously doesn't happen on other phones (the iphone has an even slower cpu), etc etc...
but that wasn't the point.
so, no news in that direction.
It´s a driver issue, install this and YouTube will be fine in HQ without full buffering.

I am not a software engineer or a programmer, but to me its like the client is made to talk to a set of display drivers which aren't 100% compatible with the X1s displaydrivers. Thereby causing it not display fullscreen video in youtube client correctly always?
if the youtube client had ben open source would it have possible to take the base code apart and fix the problem?
just for fun i've installed the official cab from youtube - no white stripes, but lagging as well while buffering...

Reverting to the R1A ROM fixes all issues with youtube constantly buffering and not playing back HQ video smoothly, it does not fix the issue with the white line. Sorry for the confusion.
I think the buffering issue and not playing back HQ videos smoothly is a much bigger issue than the white line.

Can you reupload the fixes you had posted? I would like to try and see if they work on my R2A X1a ROM
Sure, please report if it´s working or not, which Youtube version are u using?
-click-
never noticed this before:
lag while buffering obviously depends on the video being played. there's non of it while playing a cartoon (try "southpark"). play anything else - lag until fully buffered. so either the initial drivers had some sort of hw-acceleration (don't believe that) or the newer ones are less efficient and therefore need more cpu-ressources?
the "pc vs.mac" videos are playing almost smooth, only minor hickups there -> white background without details.
@yyyyy:
are these fixes of your's uninstallable? i'm on itje's v10.2 and it's running perfectly, i don't want to risk a hardreset right now...

HTC YouTube app no longer plays smooth!!

Looks like something have changed att youtube because it's like the built in youtube application is suddenly struggling to play the high res videos. It's not a buffering issue, I've checked that already. Videos get short pauses now and then, almost like the hardware acceleration is disabled. I doubt I'm the only one experiencing this...
Could you link me to this youtube app, please? I went directly to the youtube site yesterday and streamed a couple of short vids which played ok but with buffering. It played in the stream app on the phone and I couldn't zoom it or do full screen. What does the youtube app do differently? Does it allow better streaming or full screen or something?
I mean the original youtube app thats pre-installed in the Diamond. It uses hardware acceleration to play videos with nice quality and smooth framerate, now it's not that good anymore so I'm guessing something have changed at youtube... It's strange though...

Maybe your operator removed it from your Diamond rom??? You can install it separately, check here for info and the download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=472940
Just make sure you install the VGA one... But you probably already knew that of course...

Okey dokey, thanks. It's installed now and rebooting. I'll try the fix if it doesn't work. And no, I didn't know I needed the VGA version so thanks for pointing that out.
Ok, I installed the fix because the screen looked a bit messed up and the text is tiny and I can't seem to zoom in. Stil the same with the fix however the video runs very well. But, the capture area is a small square on the left bottom corner in landscape mode. I'll take some pictures of my screen for you.
Ok, here's 2 screenshots. It defaults to playing in landscape but only the small area you can see. Where I type to search, the letters are cut off (see 'CATS AND DOGS') and the text is microscopically small. Any adjustments I can make? Is it possible for the seartch to bring up more than 5 results?
At least it works though, very smooth playback.
That looks very strange... Videos should play fullscreen in landscape...
I suggest you to uninstall that version & the fix and get this version instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481495
It's a newer version of the HTC youtube player, download the second link, the full version: http://www.uploadjockey.com/download/4336552/Youtube_v1.6.1820.4128_FULL.zip
I really hope this will solve your problems and make it work as it should, if not I'm out of ideas since I'm not an expert in this area...

Thanks man, I'll give it a try.
This is odd. I've installed it successfully and it shows up in 'remove programs' but it doesn't show up anywhere else, nowhere to be found in program files, (the other version did), so I can't start the app. This happened when installing to the internal storage, uninstalling it, and reinstalling to the device.
I'll reinstall the earlier version and then do the upgrade version, see if that helps.
Yes that worked! Thanks for the links owziee
I notice that I can scroll up and down the list of videos with the centre button, but it doesn't respond to screen touch with finger, is it meant to be like that? Anyway, not bothered, just wondering. I'm happy now, the quality is great, it's full screen and the text is normal size now.
No thats not normal, I can use my finger to scroll but at least you can watch the videos now. Maybe you'll find a fix for the scrolling issue.

I suppose it may be that because your Diamond came pre fitted with a youtube app that perhaps it was optimised to work with touch screen? Whereas mine is a t mobile phone which didn't come with youtube on it.
