Hi everyone, I new here and new with WindowsMobile devices in general.
Ive have just purchased my first WM phone, I have the HTC TyTN II (AKA-Kaiser/P4450) which has WM6.
I have been using for a few days now and it seems really good, as it my first PPC device i don't have anything to compare it to though. My problem though is video playback, when I play a video it has a very low FPS, it only plays at around the 2FPS mark, the audio plays fine.
The video Im trying to play is a .WMV file and is a 320x240 size video at 503Kbps.
I would expect the device to be able to play this video fine, the only reason for the bad video performance I can think of is the fact that I am playing from the built in ROM, (I don't have a memory card for it yet).
I have tried using multiple video players, the built in media player, pocket player, TCPMP, Pocket Divx and PocketTV Pro but I have the same problem in all of them with either the same video or an equivalent video.
could anyone give me any feedback with this, is it the fact that its running from the internal ROM, and therefore will a memory card solve the problem.
Try using some PC-based software to convert your videos into a resolution better suited for mobile playback - there are a number of solutions out there, but I have always found Microsoft's (free) Windows Media Encoder to be the best...
Windows Media Converter automatically converts all of the most popular video formats into either standard-quality (portrait) or high-quality (landscape) formats, which will work on ANY Pocket PC using the built-in Windows Media Player Mobile - I have a number of movies saved on my Pocket PC, which run fine.
Sure, it ain't perfect, but when it comes to Pocket PC multimedia, it comes pretty close...
In my opinion I would consider a hard reset. Takes no time at all with your dock and active sync. I run maybe 5 programs on my phone and just did one. My main concern was contacts obviously, but it being my first reset I was a little worried about doing it right. All in all took about 30 mins to be right back where I was and now everything is blazing fast. Makes me realize why I switched from a flip to a wm5 phone. I was hating life for like a month there before I bit the bullet. Now I think im going to make it a monthly chore.
