..it was snappy to the point that for a moment I thought that these store demo units are rigged with an intel 2.6 ghz dual-core processor sitting in the back room.
Can someone explain why then the "Tilt" that has exactly the same processor/memory combo but just even the basic navigation of tapping menus, bring up programs, settings etc. was with probably 1 nanosecond delay on the Sprint Touch. Serious!
Infact, it was almost ironical when I activated the famous "touchflo" feature and found that to be quite less responsive compared to the other stuff. Still was lot faster than my Tilt in general.
I have Duttythroy's BIG STORAGE Rom which more or less is quite stable but man, for someone like me who literally uses my phone's various features etc. every 2 minutes or so in an entire day, I could surely use the overall operating system snappyness.. (if there is such a word)
Why.. Why??? Why my Tilt??! Why can't you run like your little brother!!
AJ
because it didnt have anything installed on it.
Put a stripped down rom on your tilt. it will be fast and snappy too.
a corvette is fast and snappy. throw 4000 lbs of potatoes in it and tell me how fast and snappy it is
still not convinced..
I agree with what you say totally. However, in this case I'm still thinking that after my additions to the Tilt and with the Touch "stripped-down", it can't/shouldn't be that much difference.
Come to think of it, even though the Touch may not have lot of programs installed it still did have full Set of Sprint bloatware in it. I played with SprintTV which was essentially mobi tv and other stuff was there as well.. so you can't say that the Touch had a major advantage in installed app dept.
I'll just get over it soon though... especially when I get to type 2-3 back 2 back near 160 char txt msgs and then turn on my TomTom mid way and see it lock on to GPS sats in like 20 secs or so... Touch!! naaah!!
AJ
now if we can just get some video drivers, we can have our cake and eat it too
Ha, go get the Touch then and load your programs on it, use it for a couple of weeks, and see how snappy it is then. Its not just programs, its configuration, messages, alarms, etc...
I don't really know what you're complaining about. My Tilt is quite snappy/responsive. Menus/programs load almost instantly. It's quite a bit faster than my PPC6700. It has several problems that I wish it didn't have...but I can't complain about the responsiveness of the unit itself. It's quite good.
So...the biggest question here is probably: "what today screen programs are you running?" If you're running some flashy today screen software I'd bet that's your problem. I'm a fan of the "clean" look so I don't use anything but HTC Home and the owner/calendar plugins.
Hallo,
I'm new to PPC and realised the scrolling and viewing of sms & mms is very slow. . Initially I thought it was normal for PPC, but my friend told me is abnormal after he view it.
Any advise please.
Good day
Most likely related to the lack of drivers for the Kaiser.... but I'm sure someboday else can confirm.

Mmm. And that's based on what precisely? Actually it's probably unlikely to be due to the drivers. ********* Edited for pettiness.
Some people are tending to attribute problems to video drivers and little help or thought is being put into what the real cause of problems may be.
This is the same kind of mis-information as when folk were saying the PIE scrolling was down to the drivers (and again it was unrelated to them) OR again when the speed of the camera was put down to the drivers (and again newer software shows this was not the case).
In reply to the OP. Please give us some more detail, circumstances when it happens, how slow is it, are you running any other programs concurrently etc.

ive noticed that after about 2 hours on my phone (with under 45% memory usage) my txt messages also lag. i write the entire message and it takes like 30 secounds for the message to show up for me to be able to send it. its really annoying
Obviously I'm no Kaiser Wizz, which is why I didn't say "Your problem is because of lack of drivers" (I also missed the sms bit, and thought the issue was only related to MMS, which reading again makes my first post sound insane), but thanks for being patronising in your correcting me and thanks for the mindless sheep insult (which although isn't directly poitned at me, clearly shows I'm the intended recipient).
OR again when the speed of the camera was put down to the drivers (and again newer software shows this was not the case).

From what I've seen this has not actually been proven yet, a few HTC Camera Cab's have been released which increase FPS a miniscule amount, but hardly a fix, and not really enough to say that poor Camera speeds are not because of lack of drivers. I'm not saying they definately are, but from your statement you seem to have completey dis-regarded drivers from the issue.
try messing around with the cache tweaks, or flash a new rom
should i increase or decrease the cache in this situation?

You are right, my apologies - I have edited my post.
You will be interested to know that a Mod cannot ban himself - I know I tried yesterday but it tells me I'm an "invalid user" - I knew there was something wrong with me
Mike
heh ^
on a serious and honest note - i beleive that the lack of drivers might potentially have something to do with this, but not the camera
rendering an sms or an mms is mostly a one time render into a buffer of sorts which is then blitted onto the screen - obviously the blitting could/would be hardware accelerated but on a 320x240 screen you arent really going to see a significant slowdown due to moving memory around (as thats all is what happens - in well written software at least) unless the bandwidth is really small - some software however re-renders things based on the changing view rectangle - ie a browsers (internet exploder) view port or the icons in the scrolling programs list (i think this might be compounded by the actual icons not being cached by the OS, so it has to pull them from memory and process them every time) - the lag in these programs are caused by the program re-rendering things many times as the view rectangle changes - this would no doubt vastly improve if/when hw accelerated drivers come out.
to talk numbers 320*240*2 (the 2 is the 16bit colour) is 192k of data for a fullscreen of pixels (excluding any z/stencil/accum buffering etc) now i dont actually know the refresh rate of the device but im guessing its either 30hz or 60hz - so every second, worse case senario, 192k * 60 = 11.25Mb/s of pixel data is flying through the memory onto the screen. actually thats not worst case - because often with (proprietry, non-OS) z ordered windowing/raster systems, things are rendered back to front, sometimes with significant overdraw - pushing the pixel rate up even higher.
if you look at the camera in a nice light bright setting, its smooth and functional - this tells me that the memory has enough bandwidth.
programs that arent coded well (ie they just assume hw acceleration and cosntantly rerender) will feel crap and slow on software renderers - programs that are optimised will have considerably less lag on software but would be super sprightly on hardware. does any of this make sense?
as for the camera - same thing, its just a fullscreen blit of memory - i beleive the problem with the camera is the software that is controlling it and applying that superannoying constant nightmode filter - i can only assume this is being done because of the severely low quality of the camera especially in low light conditions (they must feel the need to 'beef it up' with software post processes).
anyway thats my tangential 2p
same problem here is there any solution so far?
OR again when the speed of the camera was put down to the drivers (and again newer software shows this was not the case).

So there is a slight fix for the camera. Can someone direct me to where it can be found?
I know that it might sound like a mindless rant, but hear me out on this one please.
There is a thread in the TyTN I section and there are entries in the wiki which suggest that different series of Herms had different problems. There also seem to be different Kaisers out there that have different hardware and have more or less lag. Unwired4 is trying to link that to the VSBenchmark score, while I hope that it can be linked to the series number.
The serial number seems to be in format of HTnnn??nnnnn XTnn where ?? are letters and n's are numbers. The wiki entry only uses the HTnnn part, and I believe that the XTnn part is probably the country or area or factory or something, but could be useful if included.
As for definitions of what is laggy and not laggy performance, which is hard to define, the following videos will be good:

Not laggy TomTom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIJWAu6IRe4
Laggy TomTom (also not laggy TomTom on a Magician)
If you do not use TomTom, please state that. I am not sure if CoPilot has the same problems or not.
Also, please note that the issue discussed in this thread is not the lack of drivers or slow video playback. And please compare your Kaiser to the ones in videos, as it is crucial that we use some standards of measuring "lag", as it is basically measured by the rule of the thumb to build some statistics and possibly find out which series are affected by the issue. We are not trying to link the "level of happiness" to the serial number like some peopl pointed out in the "gruesome" thread, as it involves too many factors such as expectancies, value, money paid, comparison, and specific usage of the phone. Also, if you had the motherboard replaced and your device performs better now, but still has the old SN, please state the way it performed before the fix.
The SN is written under the battery, and it might also be a good idea not to show the last 5 digits of the main section of it.
I will start with the branding, my own SN, country of origin, date of purchase, presence of lag.

Well, the device I have was purchased in early December, but that was in a small city in eastern Russia, so it is most probably from some early series.
I remember your thread about the fact that your Kaiser performs fine when it comes to GUI, and it was probably the first time I realised that there are some series that are just plain slow and the ones that are more or less fast. DO you use TomTom? If you do, does it perform like the Magician, or like the Kaiser in the famous video?

FWIW, I made a video of my phones performance in responce to yours. Sorry about the poor quality, but you can see the performance difference!
Mine performs more like the Magician and if you watch the thing thorugh, you can see my screen switch rate is substantially faster than yours. Hopefully from that video you can see why until I saw yours I was thinking that people were moaning over nothing and asking the question "How much quicker do you want it?!"
I'm certainly with you in thinking there is something to the build version and the fact that o2 UK held back on launching their Kaiser varient for a couple of months!

And your Stellar really does does work better than my TyTN, so far we can assume that 735 and 736 series are faulty and 748 should be ok
A bit too early to draw conclusions though
I picked up a tytn II (kaiser) today. I charged for about 5 hours. picked up my location with seconds with tomtom. but updating is real slow!

HT735
Up to 1 second to orientate screen.
Tomtom no sign of the lag.
However the above is variable. Regardless of running programs, the screen rotate can vary from virtually instant to 3 seconds.
Tomtom on a rare occassion will appear to completely freeze and then jump. But I think that's likely more to do with dropping a satellite or two. Otherwise I have not had the slow re-draw or laggy behaviour (per the utube videos)
So yes, a bit too early, but worth gathering more data. Perhaps it's not the serial that's the key but qualcomm batch numbers. Then again we are talking dozens of variables here.

Its unlikely this is the problem, I had a nokia running tom tom and no such problems. The Kaiser has a very good GPS chipset and Tom tom should cope.
I do think all the HTC plugins and and all the gimmick touch flo stuff is a large part of the problem. It looks like on mike processor usage is very high.

Yep, now it seems that even the same devices within a series perform differently.
That is an interesting observation =)
My switching isn't as slow as some videos, but no where near as fast as the one you provided (running stock AT&T rom).
I haven't fully tested GPS Nav yet. I got Destinator on the way (I heard it's a pain to use, but it apparently has the best and most updated maps of Mexico )
But in general video playback, NES and SNES Emulators has its ups and downs. Sometimes running smoother and others running choppy compared to my old PXA255 / 64 RAM ipaq wm5 ppc which still lies around.

Mike, I notice you say your on the o2 network. Do you have the Stellar or an unbranded Kaiser?
Maybe you blew the HT735 theory out of the water, but the one about the Stellar being better could still be valid....
I have an O2 XDA Stellar and I've been doing a few quick tests this morning and I've come up with this.
If there are programs running in the background, the portrait-landscape switch takes about a second. Switching back to portrait takes just a bit longer (going back to portrait always seems to take longer)
However, if I close all programs beforehand, the switching from portrait to landscape is practically instant with only a slight delay switching back. It is worth noting at this point that I have the sound disabled for the screen switching.
Tomtom is smooth in both Portrait and landscape modes and a video compressed in MP4 format at 320x240 plays perfectly.
BUT, I have also noticed the intermittent audio lag problem while playing music on it (regardless of player used) and a very definite stutter in either ringtones or text/email alerts. This makes me think that perhaps that when the audio hardware is initializing to playback, it may be hogging the cpu slowing the rest of the device down which could be contributory to some of the issues noted in this forum.
I'm not suggesting that the audio bug is responsible for all of the Tytn II's issues but, in my case, it certainly looks like it's playing a part in it.
Anyone else come across this?
Slow Rendering TomTom
I think it is worth pointing out that TomTom is a lot quicker & smoother if you remove all of the POIs.
I realised this when installing it on a friends symbian phone & wondered why it was so much faster than my "powerful Windows Mobile device". I didn't put the POIs on because the MMC I was working with only had enough room for the Speed Cams.
Now I keep all of my POIs on my MicroSD in a seperate folder close to the map folder so, before I plan a journey, if I need a POI I will just copy the 2 required files into the Map folder before starting up TomTom. The difference is quite massive if you ask me.
Maybe you are already aware of this, and I apologise if this is old news, but it seems people are still having problems with lagging & I don't, so thought this might help. Granted, having all of the POIs on (or as many as it will allow you to use at any one time) is useful if you're in a hurry, but IMO you pay a high price for that convenience in lagging video rendering.
I have tried it without the Speed Cams too & it's even better, but I cant do without those warnings on there, so I can deal with a slight loss in performance for the sake of them.
Give it a go and see what you think. If this was unknown until now, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
NOW LETS GET THESE VIDEO DRIVERS SORTED!
really really really laggy switching.
Tomtom is somewhere in between the two videos.
Mine's a UK O2 XDA Stellar with stock ROM.
HT743G0 USA AT&T Tilt
Early November 07
mild lag switching, no lag on Tomtom.
The lag is contributed to the ROM you have and how many software you've installed. The original AT&T ROM lags BIG TIME like in this video. I was pissed. Then I flashed the ROM to Alex's clean multimedia. After I flashed the ROM I was so amazed at how fast it switches. It switches the screen just as fast as this video After the flash, I started to install tons of software. So far I've intsalled about 116mb of software into the phone with 36mb free. Now the switching takes about 1-2 seconds each way. I can live with that but not no 3-5 second lag.
As for TomTom (version 6.010 US and Canada map) I dont have the lag. But when it's turning I get tearing once in a while, the same tearing during video playback.
HTC737GB
T-Mobile Vario III
Lags in everything, today, switching, TomTom (You've all seen my video!)
Today it's taking 7 seconds to rotate! :S
Hi all,
I've had my T for a week now after upgrading from an iPhone4. Originally I was eyeing up the 5 and the S3 then I spotted this little underdog that I hadn't even heard anything about. After scouting around for reviews it grew on me and after seeing it in the flesh I was sold and managed to get the last one in the Vodafone store.
I've never had an Android phone before, so I was a bit wary, but so far it is pretty much everything I expected it to be and I am really happy with it...
But I have spotted a few niggles and I'm wondering if other users have had noticed similar issues?
1) Auto brightness seems to jump around randomly at time and makes the phone look like either a. it's struggling to cope with what it's handling or b. it hasn't been implemented right and for some reason jumps between levels instead of smoothly raising or lowering the brightness. This doesn't happen all the time, mostly on the net, but I've also seen it while navigating the OS.
2) The camera is really slow to take any decent images. Quick launch boots to the camera pretty quickly but then it sits there trying to focus for the next few seconds and makes the quick launch seems pointless as it hangs fo so long after it has launched. Also any movement seems to blur the images pretty easily. Took pics of my 3 year old and my wife while we were bowling and even their arms moving as they walked back blurred!? The rest of the pic was great but it's not like they were running past the camera or anything.
3) When using Chrome does anyone else have it duplicate the last letter of every word you type? Alll off myy wordss weree lookingg likee thiss wheneverr II typedd anythingg. This wasn't happening anywhere else on the phone and after downloading FireFox I've got a decent browser, but I'm intrigued as to whether or not it was something I was doing?
4) Whenever I copy a video across I am only able to play 2-3 minutes of it even though it says that the file size is correct. All of my videos are .avi and whenever I try to copy them the phone my PC asks if I want to convert the files so that they are compatible with the phone. When I click yes my PC takes 45 min's-1hr to convert it and the file appears on my phone as a few hundred Mb but next to it the time dislpays 2-3 minutes duration. When you play it it cuts out at the 3 minute point. Is anyone else suffering this?
5) The storage capacity of the handset is only showing up as 10.8 Gb of which 1.08 is reserved space. Aren't these handsets meant to have 16Gb? Those figures are shown through the PC Companion and the settings tab on the phone.
So is anyone else experiencing the same niggles as above?
I still love the phone and I'm more than happy keeping it. I know some of the issues are down to my education but others definitely aren't and they'll end just being qwerks of the phone. If there's any way to resolve them then I'd be greatful to hear your solutions.
Cheers,
Stu.

That's 10.8GB for the data/storage partition. They left 2GB for app storage only. 13GB total after formatting + OS seems about right.
I have the duplicate letter/word, think it's a chrome thing.

I thought id ask this here..
Does anyone notice when playing back recorded videos on the device, there is a weird knocking / grinding sound while the lens is focusing?
I will upload a few videos, you can actually hear the device focusing, might be normal, but, it was never like this with my arc....its apparent on multiple set scenses, with both the UK Generic and UK O2 firmware.
I've not tested video recording yet, but the camera module is very close to the left microphone (the phone records in stereo). I am guessing you can hear camera noise on the left channel when playing back?

#1 try an app called Lux.
#4, try using MxPlayer, not the stock player... Also you don't have to convert the files.
#1, my Galaxy Note was the same until an update. Remember this is a brand new device and the software will get better with time. Apple don't get it right either but that may have been because you were holding it wrong

I'm using MX player and haven't had any problems regardless of what I throw at it (so far).
#5, a trick manufacturers use is to quote storage as 1000 bytes = 1kB, 1000kB = 1MB when the system reports actual memory based on 1024 bytes = 1kB, 1024kB = 1MB, etc so you get less reported than in the marketing specs.
Thanks for your input guys.
So far:
1) Autobrightness turned off and everything is good.
2) Still not too impressed with the camera. It takes too long to focus and do anything useful.
3) FireFox is still working perfectly compared to Chrome.
4) After deleting all the videos and copying them in from scratch, unconverted, they play perfectly with MX Player.
5) The memory thing makes sense but its a poor sales tactuc on the manufacturers part. In reality the customer is only concerned with how much useable memory a device has where in reality the Xperia T has a third less than you would expect. 1-2gb wouldnt be as bad but thus is over 5gb difference!!
Thanks again guys.
Noticed the camera lag seem slow when taking the pictures but whenever I look back on them they don't seem blurred.
So far I reckon Ive deleted between a third to half of my photos due to blurring.

Might sound a silly question, but how are you taking the pictures?
I ask because I started off using the camera with the screen off and just pressing the camera button (utilising the quick shot feature). In this scenario I had blurry photos and rubbish results half the time.
I changed the camera button behaviour to just launch the camera app and then press it again (or use the on-screen button) and my photos have been good pretty much all the time.
Hold either camera button to focus.. I rarely get any blurry photos
Sent from my Xperia T
Quickshot seems borderline useless for image quality. But on standard photos after I wait for it to focus, even the slightest movement seem to really blur the image. On other photos it can take that long to focus that you miss your shot.
I've tried taking the ISO settings off auto today to see if that helps.
So far it's the only thing that I feel lets the phone down compared to what you would expect it to be like when you read the spec.

The only other thing I can suggest is there might be a fault with your phone. Do you know anyone else with a T? Do you have the same problem if you take pictures with their phone?!
Hi,
great thread! This phone is one of my favourites now that I'm considering a new handset. Feel free to share any issues that those lucky enough to have one encountered. Thanks

I'm going to go and have a play with another one in the shop over the next few weeks when I find time just in case it is my phone but some how I just think it's the way it is.
So far it's my only remaining issue but it's not a deal breaker I still love the phone and look forward to JB next year.
Greetings XDA users! As you can see, this is my first post on this forum. I have registered here in order to get some answers from other users of the HTC One concerning some problems that I have experienced. I have been using the device since more than a week now, and these are the issues I've come across so far, so please let me know which ones of these you are experiencing as well:
1. YouTube audio / video out of sync
I noticed this the first time I used YouTube on my HTC One. Lip sync simply looked horrible while watching some videos. To test if you have this issue as well, you should try something like this video where it can clearly be seen in action: Link (Since I cannot post links due to below 10 post count, simply search YouTube for "BBC HD audio sync test")
2. Simple games lag / do not play smoothly
The first game I tried on my HTC One was Doodle Jump. It's a very simple game, and before purchasing the One, I have read about other recent HTC smartphones having problems with such simple games because some HTC devices don't know how to properly use their GPU/CPU in situations where games don't have high demands. If this is still the case with the HTC One, and not just some issue with my own, it is simply unacceptable. After all, a new flagship smartphone should not have any issues when playing the most simple of games that any old android smartphone can do perfectly.
Note: I have already tried to cure both of these problems by doing it with / without power savings enabled. I have also tried with / without Beats, Bluetooth, NFC and so on. Nothing helps.
Please let me know if you are experiencing these two issues on your HTC One as well.
Other issues and annoyances I have noticed, that come to mind right now:
3. Blinkfeed share bar at the bottom of the screen is very annoying, and apparently can't be removed at all. It's doubly annoying because sometimes you can hit this bar when trying to use the back button.
4. 3-dot-menu bar at the bottom of the screen in some apps. There even used to be a built-in feature in the setting menu to get rid of this, but HTC seems to have removed this in the final software versions, for questionable reasons.
5. Video camera settings such as 60-FPS-HD or slow motion keep resetting themselves each time the screen gets locked and go back to "Normal".
6. Audio issues (cracks / pops) when using YouTube (maybe other apps as well). This happens especially often with Beats turned on, but I have also heard it happening with Beats off.
7. Odd volume jump that happens around 80% volume when increasing volume while streaming music via Bluetooth. (Volume actually goes down instead of up, and the next step after this sounds much louder than just 2 "clicks" more.)
8. Wifi reception gets a lot worse when covering the upper side of the device with my hand. And by covering I mean holding it normally in landscape orientation, I'm not intentionally trying to smother the signal. This is quite noticeable in areas where the signal is not that strong to begin with, as I've experienced multiple times that I've choked my wifi signal by simply holding it that way to watch some YouTube videos. The wifi bar can jump from 2-3 bars to just the dot by doing this.
I am rather disappointed to see this thread buried on page 3 already without any replies at all. All I asked for is a simple yes-or-no answer if your device also exhibits un-synchronous YouTube playback and/or unsmooth Doodle Jump gameplay.
So I guess this either means that I am the only one experiencing these problems and should promptly return my phone to get a properly working One, or it means people here simply do not notice these problems or accept to overlook them.
(By the way, the Bluetooth volume oddity seems to have been a randomly caused bug, as it was working fine again this afternoon)
I'm having the same issue with YouTube. It's basically unusable, the sound and lip sync gets progressively worse. Tried wiping the app data, re-installing YouTube, disabling Beats. Still no luck, this is the only beef I have with an otherwise excellent bit of tech. I tried the test videos and it looked spot on.
If I watch the same videos on my Asus Infinity there is no problem, so it's definitely the phone. I'm pretty much out of ideas.
YouTube audio / video out of sync
is indeed very horrible.....
ive never experienced anything like that, are you guys running stock rom?
For me, it's everything BUT YouTube. Games, apps, anything, there's about a 1/4 second delay between the on-screen action and when I hear the accompanying sound. Audio sync is one of my pet peeves, so this drives me absolutely crazy. I can only assume there's some kind of processing going on with the audio that's causing it, but damned if I can figure out what it is. The only audio switch I've seen to turn stuff on and off is Beats, and that has no effect on the latency.
I'm running stock ROM. Friend of mine with a ROMd unit says his doesn't do it.
I'm also having issues with the YouTube...
