Looks like it was already enabled (or uninstalling the cab didn't undo the change)

This is the exact same thing my phone has, running stock Sprint ROM, phone is from build date 12/9/08.

Guess they started including it or something...

So the Sprint ROM has it, the Verizon ROM has it -I guess the question is, what setup DOESN'T have it??

Mine was a build date of November and did not have it.

Can anyone tell me where I can find instructions to change drivers or remove this one? I did an uninstall and still see the same registry entry. My slingplayer viewing is HORRIBLE. Went through every post in this thread and tried adjusting the encoding settings, nothing helped it.

I'm working on a fix for this, my SlingMobile works but it has never worked anywhere near as well as it did in my old Titan's running all the exact same network connections/router etc etc

I couldn't wait to try SM in the TouchPro thinking it would really work well, I can't tell you how disappointing this has been, & out of all the MANY MANY apps I have installed SM is the only one that doesn't work perfectly.

I have an SPB Backup file from last week on my card, I will check the reg in that & see what it says.

I just unpacked & looked up the reg key from a backup I made on 12/23, the reg said d3dm_ati.dll at that time also.

I knew you would take the shutter lag portion and ignore the part of the article that talked about what was important. That was just an article I found quickly supporting my argument.

no it talked about about shutter lag AND it talked about the transfer of the image to the buffer which takes some aspect of video processing, the more you talk the more I realize you really don't know how a digital camera works.

simple matter is this. All the sensor does is gather the light. after that the reading of this light has to get PROCESSED and stored into the buffer. The faster this happens, the quicker the shutter can work.

all the sensor does convert the light into an electronic signal so it can be analyzed.

The process of a digital camera is light hits sensor, sensor makes a signal signal is processed and sent to buffer, buffer is cleared (and image is compressed) and stored to slower media.


*edit* after reading more technical specs and re-afirming what I originally was talking about. I go back to calling shenanigans on you.

I just realized one point we are both not addressing and I think I understand your viewpoint. the sensors most low end digital cameras (and even more so for phones) cant really handle the mega pixles they are rated for which is why there is processing between sensor and buffer. in a high end camera it is truly just a bus speed issue as to how fast the data from the sensor can trandsfer to the buffer and the shutter can close.

If it were really a case of the hardware being incapable of processing fast enough to avoid blur, thus somehow dragging the shutter speed, the camera would be incapable of fast shutter speeds and freezing motion even in bright light. We know this is not the case. In bright light, the blur problem goes away. So the camera IS capable of high shutter speeds, it just does not compensate in software to boost effective ISO in low light, so as to avoid long shutter speeds and blur.

Maybe I'm wrong, but discussion of photography has NOTHING to do with the ATI Driver for Touch Pro.

I think it's been established by several that any impact on camera performance is nothing but placebo effect, and indeed there is nothing but foolish reason to think it would or could have an effect, so it's a good idea to get back on topic before the mods have to do some housecleaning or worse-- lock a perfectly good thread.
