I dont know if you guys know already or if its been talked about already but Garmin XT works perfect on the Touch HD! I pick up a gps signal as soon as i start the program, even in my house.
I have read around that Garmin Mobile XT has a problem with battery drain.
What can you tell us about that?
all GPS Sat/Nav programs will drain the battery very quickly... i use both Garmin and iGO and, when i'm not using my power cord, my experience is that they zap the battery at the same rate.

Which one do you prefer and why?
I have not used the gps long enough to see the battery drain but i wouldn't doubt it.
As for igo and garmin I like garmin alot better but thats just my opinion.
I like garmin as well. Just trying to find a more attractive voice to listen to
guys would you say that there is considerable lag when using Garmin XT?
what I am experiencing is for example while driving, and then taking
a right turn, garmin doesn't update it until 2 seconds later, thus throwing me
off track and then on track again.
If you have tracking or (foot prtins) active and recording you can see this
clearly with sharp 90 degree snaps as well as strange snaps that do not follow any logic.
Changing the 3d-view to 2d-view (North always up) helps to minimize this.
So i am guessing is this telling me that the 528Mhz cpu is not enough!!!

I just took my HD and Garmin MXT on a trip to Quebec for New Years. I can report that there is a graphical "lag" but the naviagation prompts are right on the money. I did not use the track feature so I cannot comment on the way it lays down its "bread crumbs" but I did notice a huge difference in time when it recalculated compared to my Touch (likely the 201 Mhz vs. 528 Mhz processors). I have never used any other software but Garmin so I can't compare but I like it alot. Oh, I also remember their was no delay with my Touch using the same SD card and a blue tooth GPS receiver.

Yes, there's is sometimes a lag. I also recognized this. If you also track your way the battery went down fast. I can track with a full battery about 6-7 hours.
ive using the HD and Garmin XT.
i like it a lot..
i compared it to the Nuvi 200 and the Nuvi 265wt.. they are all at about the same moment but none were exactly the same. but i do notice that the HD is laggy when it comes to the graphic section compared to the Nuvis.
anyone find a way to improve it?
the Garmin XT doens't say street names does it?
or does it?

No, I didn't find something also.
I see street names on mine... Mine also doesn't lag at all.
Yes, you can set Garmin that street names will be shown on the screen. But there's no option that you hear the street names while navigating.
Don't knoe if other programs have this option. But it must be impossible because you can't have voice files of all streets in europe...
I think it is a processor limitation, the nüvi's have a TTS (Text-To-Speech) system so that the device does not need all the street names but can speak anything, it likely has a dedicated processor for this, the HD has to do it all with one processor and since it seems to already have problems with just navigation I think we'll have to wait for the next generation phones to have enough processing power.
Personally I don't really like the spoken street names, I want English prompts so most of them are mispronounced anyway, it's more of an entertainment option to laugh at when it tries to pronounce things like Onze-Lieve-Heersbeestjeslaan

Do you have version 5.00.20w? I have a lag only when zoomed in alot. I noticed when zoomed out it is hardly noticeable. Also, I can only get the upcomming street names to appear at the top of the screen when "not navigating" by doing a round about. That is to say it does not display the upcomming street names by itself the way version 4.00... did.
I have version
4.10.00wp
garmin xt or tomtom
Hello all. I tried the garmin xt but did not like it. its the same as the zumo thats on my kawasaki z1000 and after riding around spain and back through france I realised how bad it is compard to tomtom navigator. after using tomtom for a couple of years now on my p3300 (orbit) I got a hold of tomtom navigator 7 which works a treat. As well al know its personal preference.
i have the newest one.. with newest maps..
i know the Garmin Nuvi 265wt says streeet names.. i guess they didn't build it into the mobile one because of memory or the speed ..
mine always lags.. the car is never next to the intersection .. or in a turn.. maybe ill try to zoom it out a bit. its on automatic..
Added this software to the wiki page

Maybe somebody would update that page with the details of this thread.
Hello everybody!!!
I think many HD users looked for good games for their devices. There are some really nice applications like Resco Bubbles, Experiment 13 etc. Also We can run Nintendo, Sega and other old games on HTC HD(with sortware multitouch support).
However, for my device I want at least psx games...(I am final fantasy and takken fan) I found emulators such as PocketISO and FPSEce, which allowed you run games from PS1. BUT I cant install it properly(I read many articles about it before start a new thread, but still cant find solution). Furthermore, I read, that FPSEce is not support WVGA(((
On Youtube I found many videos about FPSEce 0.10 working on Samsung Omnia and running psx games with full speed. I don't think that HTC HD is less powefull in turms of CPU and RAM than Omnia(maybe I am wrong).
So, can anybody explain me how to install it and (if possible) how to make it multitouch (like Morphgear with some skins and fix)?
I am using WM 6.5.3 by T2M(28004)
Thx in advance.
I try to run fpsece many times, but always whit poor result. The site appear old and no update. However, This progr starting directly from the executable file and work in the hd wvga, but can't start games for me
the point is simple really, the resolution aint supported. omnia has a far less screen res, thus delivering better application experience/smoothness. moreover, it seems fpsece has been discontinued or at least not updated in the last, well, year, so i fear your request is d00med from the start.

Not really. Project is not dead!!! Check video on YouTube, it is amazing!!! Driver 2 with "touch" control and full speed. G-sensor is working, nice on-screen buttons, sylus mode etc. Now it is even better than real PS1!!!
By the way, I had chat with moderator from FPSE forum, and he said, that new version will probably released before Xmas! I hope it will fully compatible with our device.

I've been waiting for FPSCE all year now, and every week we've been told "It's a few weeks away". I've purposely put it out of my mind for weeks now as I can't be bothered with the continual delays (although it does seem a lot of progress has been made recently and it looks a fantastic app).
I had 0.96 running on my HD no problems, except the FPS (frames per second) was about 17 for even simple games like Ridge Racer = unplayable. However vers 1.0 promises to work a lot quicker.
There is also a thread on their forum about the Touch HD, and I think it will work and be playable if/when released. They are also working on multitouch-faking controllers, otherwise bluetooth controlllers work well.
So I'm a little ambivalent over the project, mainly because I got sick of waiting for it, but I'm ready to eat my hat if/when it is released (probably in 2011 )

Well, I hope you are wrong about release date...
About FPS: I have tried Final Fantasy 8 and during first video it worked with 25-35 frames per second. However, I can't start the game - I can see FF boot screen, but I can't move to the main menu. I pressed all buttons("x", "start" etc.) with no result, only "select" buttons works fine. What I did wrong? I have tried other games with the same result.

Exactly why I wanted to see the videos myself... You can't compare the TG01 with the HD! The HD doesn't even have half the Toshiba's speed!
(Even when running a SnapDragon processor at the same frequency as the HD's processor, the former is faster than the latter...)

I know that TG01 in terms of speed and performance much better than our device.
I just posted this links as an example of what new version can do....
About speed:
This is DELL X50v
On this device FPSEce runs many games with 30-40 frames per second.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1i4JNUaEOdE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBSgNJlq38Q&feature=related
I don't think that X50v(processor 624 MHz Intel PXA 270, 64 RAM, VGA) is more powerfull than HD(processor 528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7201A, 288 MB RAM, WVGA)
BTW, on this video it seems to be an old version of FPSEce, however authors said that new version will run games much faster and smoother.....

Hi maxcy,
I just installed Max Manila Ultimate 2.6 Beta and can confirm that it works perfectly with latest NRG ROMs. Once again you did an awesome job. I finally have my 16 shortcuts and bg4all back + a working action softkey. Thank you so much.
ps1 for wvga
hi guys i think fpsece looks really good im tired of the low quality mobile games they keep bringing out and this looks like it will be decent. just need to find out how to get all my favourite ps1 games on my storage card. i read on the oficial forum that the developer is thinking about charging £5 for the emulator when its available on wvga devices. well im sure he/ shes done alot of work and i for one think thats fair. i think it will be free if you dont want to save your game or something like that. just cant wait.
Hey GUYS!
FPSEce is released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

google is your friend! can't really say, where you can find it.
You now know what is this WP7 in much more detailed.
OS characteristic, apps, marketplace, hardware requirements, upcoming models.
What now?
What more do you want to know?
For me ...
I want to see HTC device of Windows Phone 7 series!
It better to be HD3, and it should be much more powerful than HD2 spec wise.
I want the best of the best hardware, so my sacrifice of WP7 limitation will be paid-off.
- 4.3" screen size
- super responsive multitouch
- 1+ GHz Snapdragon
- very (very) long battery live (to compensate no multitasking!)
- 32 GB internal storage (to compensate no sd card)
Update:
I gave up ... I ordered Android phone (HTC Desire).
Too many limitations and restrictions.
The more I think, it became clear that WP7 is not my right choice, at least for its first release.
I will wait the next release, WP7.1 or WP8
I need to see a real device with 4"+ screen, and, most certainly, jailbreak.
Waiting for the HD3-announcement as well and game developers announcing their support for WP7!
i want everything you do besides that 4.3 screen plus a slide out keyboard & i wanna know more about browsers and video players & what kind of battery life should we expect on average from these devices
I'd like to see a Touch Pro 2 like device (ie: made totally like the TP2) but with the following guts:
-3.6" Screen, AMOLED or not, don't really care for a device this small.
-Snapdragon CPU, 1 or 1.3 ghz
-1Gig Ram
-64Gig of memory. I have about 40 gig of music on my Zune software xD
How about a HD Pro device...
which I see as a HD2 with keyboard! That would be sickness!

You cannot have more than 32 GB memory, as I recall.
Btw., you don't need 1 GB RAM - this is just a dumbphone without multitasking, so there's no need for that much RAM.

True, as computers don't really need 24GB of ram...
What do you mean, we can't have more than 32 GIGS? Oo
i want an HTC with 4,5" amoled screen with true multitouch this time, preferably at least more than 2 registred fingerpoints.
Also, i'd like to see dedicated gaming buttons... still, nothing beats hardware input to play games, ofcourse, combine it with the multitouch touchscreen and you have a killer device. Maybe they can fiddle a qwerty keyboard between the d-pad and the action buttons. or only give us a d-pad on the left side of the keyboard and the action buttons we can assign with the qwerty keyboard. add some shoulder buttons, that could also function as a camera shutter. maybe a front camera... not that i make use of videocall, but fun to be use in games, sorta project natal on a mobile device. example game could be... a catapult. with the back camera you scan your surroundings and when you find your target, act if you were pulling the rubber band and virtually release a bunch of fun to your friends face, or something like that. have algorythm recognize windows and virtually catapult a rock into the window....
yeah... some useless app... but hey, if we copy apple, we should copy some lame apps too

I'll be buying nothing until someone can confirm a compatible fart app.
I'm looking for something like my Touch Pro2 form factor wise. As long as it has a nice 5 row QWERTY and made by HTC I'm game. I don't mind the screen size but if they made it bigger I'd have no complaints.
I want to know if any kind of Navigation Software will be delivered along with WP7 if none will be included, which Software will be available for it as soon as the new HD3 gets available in the end of this year.

Hi guys
I recently got hold of a Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, and i have to say im rather dissapointed.
The lag issue, which none of the lag fixes really actually stop, is so annoying, GPS not working as im one of the unfortunate people who have this issue is another annoyance
The screen is fantastic however, and the music player is aweseome with its equilizer.
However i use my phone for numerous things, media is one thing, GPS also as i dont see the need to buy a seperate sat nav when my phone "should have it",
Now i am going to wait until the official Froyo release from samsung before making any decision.
Right stop my moaning and here are my questions
i have been offered in exchange a sim Free Desire, plus a 16gb Class 6 sdcard, all boxed.
The one thing that worries me about going down the Desire route is how long is this handset gonna last.
Looking at benchmarks the i9000 creams the desire (with lag fix) in pretty much everything, i know this is down to the pretty poor Adreno 200 GPU on snapdragon as linpack shows the snapdragon FPU is better, Quadrant over 2200 currently on my SGS
in gaming terms for the future how long is this gonna last? can i expect games that are released in 6 months from now to run flawlessly? i know its hard for people to see into the future! but NEed for speed seems to run pretty much identically to my SGS, so im wondering if its all down to optimization on both chipsets
also gingerbread? a definate yes? or have HTC still not announced if Desire will be getting it
Samsung wont give any answers on this whatsoever
Also what would you guys do?
The samsung guys say "stay with it" but i want opinions from both camps
Cheers
You are on the same point I was a few weeks ago, well I wasn't offered in exchange by someone but the store owner offered to change it for me. Honestly, I'd say go for it. Samsung's software is crap, Desire has a lot better development community. Not to mention you get HTC Sense. Now one warning, Desire doesn't got true multi-touch, it got pinch support but thats about as far as the multi-touch goes. I tired playing Real Football 2010 with a Desire and it was a crap experience. People have reported Quadrant benchmarks of almost 1800 via OCed kernel and custom ROMs, if you really want to get down to that point but honestly it doesn't make a difference.
And HTC still hasn't announced if Desire is getting Gingerbread but there is a good chance the ROM community will be able to get it running. Plus Samsung still hasn't released Froyo, so I don't see a bright future of Gingerbread coming from them.
Now, GPS on Desire is damn good. It works as good as my 2 year old satnav if not better(It usually gets the fix better, I gave my satnav away ).
Honestly the handset has a good life-time to last, HTC Hero is still doing pretty good so Desire should do good as well was another year or more. Even if HTC may drop the support we have people here giving new life to the device.
My opinion: go for it! Desire is a great phone / smartphone.
The more I use it, the better it is.
Make sure you do a hard reset when you get it...
im seriously 50/50 on this, and now my time frame has been shortened, my mate wants to know by tomorrow otherwise he is ebaying it (mates eh!?)
Benchmarks are not the be all and end all, its bragging rights i suppose.
one thing that is seriously tipping me back to HTC is the support and community development, Samsungs own support is utterly awful, Kies is the worst piece of software i have ever ever used, and no OTA?! what the hell is that about.
As for HTC back in the day when i had my hero, ok there was delays but at least they kept people in the loop, one of my biggest annoyences is not being advised anything from samsung other than "we are working on it"
i dont hold out anyfaith that the filesystem will be sorted out with froyo, i mean it says alot when the XDA guys can fix it, but Samsung dont seem to even ackowledge the fact the software is naff!
i thought the desire had true multi touch? Does this mean playing psx4droid is a poor experiance?
No, it doesn't got true multi-touch. If the x1 intersects with y2 or x2 with y1 it goes haywire. It doesn't have gorilla glass either. But the community of HTC Desire is far better than Galaxy S from my experience, we don't have to use Kies or similar crap either(It was a PITA to get Kies to even recognize my phone, took me well over 4 hours and a lot of headaches), we got OTA! .

Glad you share my view on Kies, i honestly have never had such issues flashing a firmware, at least with Odin it did what it says on the tin
ok well im pushing more towards the desire, i just HOPE that its as much as an enjoyable process playing PSX games on psx4droid as it is on the Galaxy S, i do alot of travelling and i spend most of that time on trains playing FF7
If you want to do gaming stick with the galaxy s the desire isn't very good for that. Maybe 2.2 for the galaxy s will resolve your issues. I love the desire its a great phone but its horrible for gaming.

it all depends how much more powerfull the new version of adreno is, obviously developers are still going to develop games for the arm cpu and adreno inparticular, imo i think our gpu will be able to play the games developed for newer versions of adreno but maybe not flawlessly .............. as far as gingerbread goes, the desire will never get it officially as htc are more intrested in supporting what will be then there current generation of devices, but as the desire and n1 are almost identical, and the n1 being googles official developer device, they are sure to get gingerbread, so we maybe we will be the first device to get working custom roms

I never thought of it like that actually regarding future android updates, basically the N1 is the same hardware as the desire, just lacking a little bit of Ram i believe, so shouldnt be too difficult to port over a rom
you sir have just tipped the scales again!
If you care about gaming stick with SGS..devs are even stopping games for desire ( see n.o.v.a) due to the multitouch bug and the the GPU isn't even remotely close to sgs's..Desire's 720p is a big pile of disappointment as well,no matter what rom you try..
other than that it is a fantastic phone...also unique feel as you hold it in your palm..its ergonomy is amazing, even ip4 doesn't sit as well in the hand as desire does..
Your right about the iPhone 4 it is a pain to hold now lol (not about the signal "issue") the edges are Sharp.

I have a Desire & my friend has a Galaxy S.
I would say the Samsung has a better screen. However:
The Desire is a better over all device, software wise and build quality wise. Oh and it has more ram.
However, if gaming is a serious thing for you, I suggest you stay with the Samsung because they really do have the most powerful mobile GPU.

In respects to gaming its not gaming as such, i mean angry birds beta from the market, any gpu should play that, im more bothered about PSX emulation at this point, my sgs is superb with psx4droid, where as the videos i have seen on youtube dont say the same story with desire, however these are based on the early versions of the app,

Don't worry about that...psx4droid does not yet support hardware acceleration so all graphics are rendered from the CPU , not the GPU...so they should play it equaly well..well runs fine on my desire..and also i had an hd2 before and used fpsece which supported(and still does) hw acceleration..and run great on hd2 (has snapdragon chip, same as htc desire)..could get 40+fps on tekken 3...which is brillian (does not even run in psx4droid)..

Also had a hd2 and it was excellent, just a pitty about winmo 6.5, do you know if there are any plans for GPU acceleration to be implemented for android?

i think we have crappy drivers for our gpu too, the acer liquid has the same gpu but with a cpu that runs at a lower clockspeed, but apparently the 3d rendering on that device surpasses our device

Hi guys
I recently got hold of a Samsung i9000 Galaxy S, and i have to say im rather dissapointed.
The lag issue, which none of the lag fixes really actually stop, is so annoying, GPS not working as im one of the unfortunate people who have this issue is another annoyance
The screen is fantastic however, and the music player is aweseome with its equilizer.
However i use my phone for numerous things, media is one thing, GPS also as i dont see the need to buy a seperate sat nav when my phone "should have it",
Now i am going to wait until the official Froyo release from samsung before making any decision.
Right stop my moaning and here are my questions
i have been offered in exchange a sim Free Desire, plus a 16gb Class 6 sdcard, all boxed.
The one thing that worries me about going down the Desire route is how long is this handset gonna last.
Looking at benchmarks the i9000 creams the desire (with lag fix) in pretty much everything, i know this is down to the pretty poor Adreno 200 GPU on snapdragon as linpack shows the snapdragon FPU is better, Quadrant over 2200 currently on my SGS
in gaming terms for the future how long is this gonna last? can i expect games that are released in 6 months from now to run flawlessly? i know its hard for people to see into the future! but NEed for speed seems to run pretty much identically to my SGS, so im wondering if its all down to optimization on both chipsets
also gingerbread? a definate yes? or have HTC still not announced if Desire will be getting it
Samsung wont give any answers on this whatsoever
Also what would you guys do?
The samsung guys say "stay with it" but i want opinions from both camps
Cheers

thats my point!! they have the same gpu running with a 768mhz cpu, and there gpu can do 3D better than ours, read this thread started about overclocking our gpu.....

I love the surface RT, except for the internet. I'm wondering if everyone else feels the same. Certain websites are awful, even reddit takes almost 10 seconds before I can scroll. Not to mention back paging, its horrible waiting for the unit to become responsive again on top of trying to figure out how many times I have to hit the back button before IE actually goes to the previous page.
I have a couple ad block lists installed, just refreshed WinRT and back to fully updated. Is anybody else unhappy with IE performance on the RT? Any suggestions from those who've boosted performance somehow?

No problems here except on very long pages. IE10 on my PC is laggy on those too.
Open the Desktop Mode, IE, Manage Addons, Tracking Protection, get lists online, I would recommend at least two: Easylist and Fanboy.
You will notice right away an improve in IE.

my Brower experience is awful as well. Super slow and unresponsive every time a web page loads.
I have two ad block lists active already. I think I noticed a difference when I activated them, but that was a while ago and performance is still crappy now. For example, going to my Gmail inbox takes 15 seconds for the page to become responsive....
So disappointing, I love this thing but when I avoid opening it up because I get frustrated by something so simple as internet browsing... and I'm sure its a software fix! Seriously, the iPad only does one thing right, internet, and that's why its such a hit. MSFT wtf?!
i must disagree, on my DELL XPS 10 the internet performance is SUPERB! one of the fastest internet browser ever on a mobile devices. and flash player works perfect, even access to mic and webcam, is possible, e.g. chatroulette is working. there is no other device that can do that!

Is there a config file you can post? I don't know IE and what settings could affect performance, but maybe if I just copy whatever makes your machine fast.
Anybody on the interwebz know a way I can copy Turkishflavor's IE10 settings form a dell xps 10 to my surface RT?
I noticed horrible lag, some pages taking upwards 30 seconds to become responsive, with certain sites (XDA being one of them) that were related to advertisements. Tracking lists (and later a hosts that blocks a bunch of them) helped me out.
what is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
I laughed my @$$ off when I saw the ad for Asus vivo vs iPad on tv... The vivo tab Rt is absolutely crap, pos..
Tracking lists made my IE a lot more responsive. Without them visiting this site was a torture.

The Dell has a Snapdragon(KRAIT) that is faster than the Tegra 3(A9), this is why his performance is better than that of a T3 powered device. If you want better performance you'll have to wait for some serious overclock tools or a model refresh with a Snapdragon S800 or Exynos Octa.

I'd prefer the a15 based tegra4 personally but I expect the RT will get a refresh eventually.
The enoxys isn't a full octacore technically. Only 4 cores are active at one time. It is essentially 2 processors on one chip, a full power high clock speed a15 and a second lower power quad core (I think a9 based). Usually the low power mode is used, but when needed the low power chip shuts down and hands all activity over to the full power CPU. So at any one time it can be treated as a quad core chip with a low power mode similar to the 5th companion core on Tegra 3 and 4 chips. Enoxys "octa" gets more hype than it deserves.
