[sx1-doc]

video playback???
i was reading the htc rhodium review on mobile review
http://mobile-review.com/pda/review/htc-touch-pro2.shtml


and i saw the video benchmark ,i got shocked (almost same hardware ) so different benchmark

someone can explains me why?

 

[cursor]

better drivers in that rom?

 

[scote]

h/w acceleration?

Is there a chance that h/w acceleration is coming into play here?
We know that X1 dont get h/w acceleraion with core player, maybe the standard APIs are h/w accelerated on Rhodium?

Ok well basically the Touch pro had a lower Resolution screen (480 x 640 pixels) which equals 307200 total pixels

On the otherside the X1 and touch Pro 2 have higher resolution screens (480 x 800 pixels) which equals 384000 total pixels

This means that the x1 and touch pro 2 have to process 76800 more pixels in each frame than the touch pro.

that my explanation anyway..

i dont care about touch pro vs xperia

i care about touch pro 2 (rhodium) vs xperia
xperia is 30 to 40% slower??
why?

The hardware is the same...so....better driver!

if your running Windows Mobile 6.1 then yeah the Xperia is gonna be wayyyyy slower. Install WinMo 6.5 and then see the difference. heaps faster (and yeah the beta is faster than the final version of WinMo 6.1)

It's like vista vs Windows 7

all round drivers etc methinks. Although when using a rhodium based rom, the video aint much better. Ask a good cook (itje, agent 47, gttrab etc)

Can someone confirm, that in WinMo 6.5 the playback speed with Coreplayer is faster? If so, which ROM were you using for testing?

 

[thelucius]

I did tried that. No visible difference in speed both in coreplayer and in wmplayer.

Same results here.... imho i think that video performance is slower on WM 6.5..

 

[Jabe]

same here. no difference and even found quite a few posts stating there would be no difference.

about playback in wm6.5. I have to say that playback in coreplayer and media panel both was way better in wm6.1 custom ROMs than in wm6.5 ROMs. to be honest video is unwatchable in all wm6.5 ROMs I have tried and I do not know what to do.

The Touch Pro2 is 6 months newer..what do you expect?

Wow, with my newly flashed ROM I just noticed that my videos plays with no lagg at all. It's so freakin nice!

If you want I can look up what ROM I use, but I think it's called PC4tech or something like that! Everything else is also very good with this ROM!

 

[Jabe]

do you use bt stereo headset?
