i tired it on my diamond a little while back. it only helped out the hologram app but that was it

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Had heard bout it before, just tried it. Might as well call this the camera fix because wow it works. Don't know why but it does. Otherwise scrolling and transitions are less jumpy now.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

The camera is less jumpy??

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

How does it affect the camera function??

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I've seen no improvements using any new 3D drivers with my Touch Pro

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

How does this affect the camera?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Site is down can anyone suggest another website
thanks

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Can I use this with ROM's running Omnia drivers? Or will it like, replace that?
I ran these ati d3d's a few days ago and it actually did help...

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Yea, it's been down all afternoon.

Can anybody post the cab here??

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I think this is the one they're referring to.

Enjoy.

edit: aw, beat me to it. ):

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

HAHA ;) beat ya to it!

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I see where ya edited it as I was typing the beat ya to it! WOOOO, well at least we are on the same page!

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro

hahhaha xP

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

umm is this the placebo effect or can someone really verify that these do something?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Aw, how cute! But mines ALL original! :)~

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

opera mobile scroll better for me. it definitely won't hurt unless you use slingplayer (from what i've heard).

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

It SEEMS, I mean, SEEMS to have made my TP a little quicker. But you might be right about the placebo effect tho. Heck, It doesn't hurt anything to install it so why not? It might just surprise ya!

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Ya it fixed my camera, the pics EVERYTIME were blurry even trying to capture say a tv that's on. Now it just shoots it faster because all that blur is gone. Shoots it as well as the camera on my Centro, 700p, or ipaq as far as stabilty now.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

So can anyone confirm it hurts slingplayer playback? It's worth a try to fix the camera but not at slinplayer's expense in my opinion.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

HOLY COW turds batman! It did actually make my cam faster! I just tried it and it worked! As for slingplayer, I don't know cause I don't use it.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I'll let you know shortly.........

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I'm interested in Sling being effected also.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Hmm I didn't notice any changes in Sling Player after installing this.

Of course unless Sling makes a better version or HTC makes some improvement on the graphic performance... it'll just be "okay".

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

did you soft reset before trying?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Well, my TP is sitting on my kitchen table next to me running SlingMobile on a local cable channel & the driver doesn't seem to have changed anything. I am looking at it right now & it's running at 16 fps which is not great, but it wasn't all that great earlier today either.

For some reason, Sling has never worked as well on my TP as it did on my VZ xv6800's.

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Have you tried your camera?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Oops, maybe I spoke too soon.

I just changed channels & now it is reading 2 fps..........

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Yeah, the installer requires a soft reset.

I even tried to turn the GDI render on and off with software reboot, no difference what-so-ever.

Well HTC, when you gonna fix the graphics performance issue? And Sling, you can do batter than this...

P.S. Just did some test. Turned off automatic encoding and set it at 300kbps with full frame rate support and GDI rendering. I am getting constant 25-30 fps around 320 kbps.

Sometimes change the setting manually would be better. Of course, depends on your upstream speed at the source (20m down 2m up for me)

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Maybe it's just the station? Heck I dont know....I have never used slingplayer at all. It must be like sprint tv or something but better?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Yea, it's better than Sprint TV. I get about 200 cable channels including all the on demand (HBO, Cinemax etc etc) & PPV channels, all with no extra monthly fee.

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

IE: I get all the same channels on my phone that I do when I am home.

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Wow, this is not good. I just lost the SM connection totally & the phone is smoking hot (I have never once had that problem before)

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

sm connection?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Ayyee. I'm using Dream's ROM which I believe uses Omnia drivers.
Can I run this cab on it to improve performance? Or do you think it'll make it worse?

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I have used this , and if you want to run an app that is noticable , use coreplayer ( flickering screen issue).

Coreplayer without this driver = flickering normal
Coreplayer with this driver = less flickering and watchable.

Coreplayer is just an example to test out this driver.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

latest update:

I just uninstalled the driver, Sling Mobile is one of my most used apps & this was messing with it somehow (the Omnia driver conflicts with SM also)

I reconnected to SM probably 10 times in a row just to make sure it wasn't a coincidence. SM was taking a LOT longer to connect with the SlingBox(it had been connecting almost instantly with the latest software release) & the phone was getting much hotter than it ever did before.

I uninstalled the driver & it seems to be back to normal (I hope it completely uninstalled). The fps didn't change much, but it is back to quickly connecting & the temp problem seems to be gone.

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

I agree 100%. First HTC releases a $600 phone with old obsolete video drivers & then Sling releases a new software version with "support for the HTC TouchPro" but it doesn't have a setting for true VGA resolution........

Very disappointing on both fronts.......

~John

Re: ATI Driver for Touch Pro
 

Really? So far I have had best results at 15 fps and 500 kps. If I try to turn the frame rate up (and kps down) it jumps around a bit at full screen. Even though sling recommends using GDI rendering, I have found the results to be much worse if using it. It stops tearing, but the frame rate goes in the toilet (and jumps around a lot). Also, if I let slingplayer do the settings automatically, it decides on something around 7 fps and 80 kps... (completely worthless). That is with stock and ATI video drivers. Honestly I haven't seen any difference with the ATI driver and slingplayer. It does make a difference with the phone interface though, and the camera doesn't seem to take as blurry photos in low light...
