hi
plz ppl with omnia answer these questions..as many ppl wantto get this phone it would help all of us knowing some interesting questions about it
1)does real vga work on it
2)is there an issue using programs especially games on it
3)have you tried opera 9.5 if so how does it render
4)is the 5mp camera as goodas nokia n95 camera?
5)can you post some screen shots so we can get a better idea of the actual resolution
6)hows the gps functionality??
plz answer as many questions as you can!
thanks
1) the screen is WQVGA so that means Wide Quarter VGA, so no... it's not VGA
2)because of the wierd screen resolution (400x240), games tend to only work in landscape mode... if you try to turn them rightside up, the buttons won't work on the touchscreen (they're messed up)
3)haven't tried opera...
4)in my opinion it isn't as good.. although it has more options with wich to play, it's kind of laggy (you press the button, you wait for the autofocus and then it takes the pic) - but maybe if you fool around a bit with the settings you'll get better results
5)i'll post pictures made with it and some pictures of it tomorrow perhaps
6)the gps is actually assisted-gps enabled and it works pretty good... i even got gps signal inside (and not near a window) - iGo 8 works fine, so does navigon and garmin, haven't tried tomtom route66 or others...

Just got my new xda2s, and wanted to know if there was a patch or something to make the camara full screen like my old xda2 in capture and video mode, or is that just the way it is now.

Is there no way to make the camera output work full screen and unlike the xda II the zoom doesnt seem to work.. or is there something been done wrong?
bR
To zoom you must reduce the resolution of the picture in manage picture settings (bit of a scam really)
i too would like to know about the full screen camera function like the old xda's cause my mate has one and i prefer that better to the small screen version on the M2000
Yeah, bizarre that, there must be a registry hack to allow the zoom to be used in standard capture mode? Mine works fine in video, but not in photo mode!
I must admit that when I bought by Blue Angel, I didn't really consider the camera other than to note thats its only 640x480 - there are just TOO many other toys to play with. But after having used it a couple of times, it would have been nicer to have a higher resolution, zoom etc, but what the heck, this is a PDA/phone, not a Nikon
All I do to get a "zoom" is crop & resize the images in paintshop pro before printing them.
I have XDA live 2.0, and i'm trying to use the camera feature on my phone, and in the standard camera mode, the zoom feature doesnt work. is there a fix for this, or could somebody point me in the latest version of the xda, or the latest and most stable release of WM6. There's a new version of WM6 every week, you guys cook roms like crackhead cook crack. If there is a fix, could somebody do me a favor and send it to my email, ( [email protected] ) if not, its a-okay.

I believe that if you have the phone in 2.0 MP mode, you can't use the digital zoom, however if you drop the resolution down a bit, it will allow you to then go all the way up to 8x zoom.

Thanks for the help, i have the same issue, but with WM5 too.
Zoom only works with resolutions lower than 1Mpixel for me, using WM6 LVSW.
Regards
u sure ure doing the right thing? Zoom only works when ure in 'S' mode (HTC Tytn manual). you can't zoom in 1M and 2M mode.

That's in the HTC Manual! Zoom only works for the 'S' (small) resolution setting in the Tytn. WM5, Wm6, Photon.... you won't be able to zoom with 1M or 2M resolutions

Nothing like read the manual
but this info isn't in my M3100 from Orange manual.
bad translators from Orange Spain doing so bad manuals...
The HTC camera is crap,
what is the point having a zoom on low res images, it will make them worse than what they are.....
Bad Design imho,
Maybe I should release another version of Black 2.0 as well (No Camera Policy) for work professionals that are not allowed to use camera's in their office buildings. This version will have the camera application and all drivers removed from the OS which then does not violate the policy.
Cheers,
jas
yes. = 8x Zoom [M] = 4x [L] = 4x
cannot zoom with [1M] & [2M]
I use coolcamera, it can work!
whats cool camera?
I know many Samsung I780 owner is facing the resolution problem on that 320x320 display.
Some program is not work or identify the wrong resolution on it.
For example, the SlingPlayer mobile is recognized my i780 as 240x240 display and cannot support fullscreen playback with a small windows look like 160x160.
For this reason i tried Tweek2K2, but i did not support on non-Vga machine and Force High Resolution 1.65 but it didn't helpful to improve the screen layout.
Finally I try the old software “Nydiot Virtual Display 5.02” it solved all the resolution issue on my Samsung i780,
*** You should install the 96dpi respack, if you have any display problem ****
Now I can emulator to 320x240 and 240x320 resolution without dropping the system performance. (use 100% zoom, don’t scaler the screen)
**** You souhld type the "240" by your own in the combine box ****

After install the virtual display, the RealVga is useless, as the Nydiot Virtual display support 320x320 of i780 golden resolution. And i can switch to any resolution without reset the phone.
I am highly recommend the i780 owner to install this software.

Would be interested on how you managed to get 240x320 res. When I tried this software on fresh install no Real VGA nothing I only have opion for 320 or above res. There is no 240 in the drop down list in settings, Also messed up my icons in the program and settings screen.
Anyone else had any luck with this? I think I might have to stick with Real VGA unless I'm doing something wrong.
hi
i tried it extensively .. first i couldnt find the 240 res option and second .. until someone points out the ideal settings i wont be switching from realvgajust yet ! good find none the less !

if you type 240 on the combo box you'll get the 240. it supports 240x320 and 320x240. it's usefull in case you have some SW that do not work on default resolution.
Hi,
Now I know the TP2 is not a digicam ... But can anyone share any tips on how to get the best out of the TP2 for video recording.
Some thoughts I have include:
1) Fast SD card
2) 3rd party video software???
3) Improving fps from 12.5. I guess reducing resolution..??
However I appreciate the TP2 is a phone .... but with some jolly useful extras.
Thanks,
Sam
i havent try but maybe apps like coolcamera?
Hi guys
A quick one. When recording with the touch pro 2 is there a black border to the right side of the picture you are recording? that means the picture you are recording doesnt fill the screen. I just noticed this tonite and i dont think this has always been the case
since I posted my question over 30 people have read it but have just moved along without helping. This isnt a difficult question and all someone has to do is pick up their phone, launch the camera and click on video recording to see if the black border exists. This should not even take you a minute but people just read and move on. If I start a new thread asking my specific question, you,ll get some id1ots talking rubbish about using the search function. well I have and it doesnt return any results for my query. So is there any sensible person out there willing to check this out for me?

Hi Lombardo8,
Yes, there is black strip on the right side of the screen but ONLY when you save video. When you play this video it is over full screen.
Sorry for my "English".

Nino
Thank you very much Nino. Have a nice day
12.5 fps? Probably for videos meant as video messages (eg vzw flix mms). But with Mp4 I had 15-20 fps even in 640x480. Best advice. use MP4 video. Stay away from H.264 because that is CPU heavy and results in blocky looking video. Black border on the right side? It only means you are not recording in widescreen mode and does not show up in playback. Select the widescreen option in advanced options and border is gone. Not sure if this will work on video, but it does on pics.
I'm not all too thrilled with CoolCamera. First, it's buggy as hell. Second, it's not free. And third, it doesn't work on all devices. I tried it on my Q9M about a year ago. Hasn't been updated since then. Since the Q9m has a crappy camera, I wanted more options. Unfortunately this program didn't help, as the options didn't work on that phone. The camera on my TP2, different story. Very advanced compared to the Q's crappy setup. Don't even want to try CoolCamera on this thinking it might be worse off than factory HtcCamera. There have to be better options then that program (CoolCam). The developer of that app has focused on his webcam app instead.
How did you get your camera to record at 640x480 my Tilt2 doesnt seem to have that option
Hey everyone, just new to XDA, got my TP2 from telus 2 days ago. It has been awesome so far. Anyhow.....
Ive got a bunch of low res java games that ive been playing on the newest release of Jbed ( 20090217.5.1 ). The problem is that on the amazing TP2 screen, the games are TINY (about 1/10 of the screen).
Im wondering if there is a way to play these games in a larger mode. Im wondering if any of these work-arounds exist:
- a version/plugin of Jbed that allows fullscreen /zooming
- a hack that allows the TP2 zoom feature to work in programs like Jbed
- an alternate KMV that has a zoom feature
- program to change the TP2 screen resolution (NOT like wvga fix that turns part of ur screen black, more of a full screen resolution changer)
I dont care what it does as long as it can allow me to play all of these games in a size where i can actually freaking SEE somthing. Theres nothing more annoying then reading text thats a PIXEL thick.(Ive got eye strain now lol )
Ive attached a pic showing how the game window compares to the overall screen size
Thanks to everyone that took the time to read this post.
Zooming would be way to intensive and useless.
The best solution will be for it to just play in fullscreen, but have the extra parts blank. Scaling the image would just be ugly, all distorted. So, it'll be like a widescreen movie on a fullscreen TV.
But idk what would do this.
