I am on the bandwagon and agree the devices featuring the MSM7xxx chips are useless at video...and could be a little quicker in general. It may not be the answer you guys want, but first thing I did when I realised I couldn't play any form of video at all...is look for an alternative to WMP...which even on a pc is poor. I am currently using my O2 XDA II without problems, I can play mp4, .mpeg, divx, wmv, avi, even hi definition files of 4GB or more without problem :) My friends, do yourselves a favour...invest in a quick micro sd card...download the "Core Media Player" for wm5/6 and do a search for the .aac driver as it was removed from the official release due to copyright... My MSM7200 at 400Mhz XDA II works just peachy... It will take you all of 10 minutes, much less than..lets say...building a website for example... Ok, very interesting thread…

About the v-8 response...You can buy power adders. And to the person that finds the solution or driver count me in I'd buy it. I really don't like the damn studduuduuuerriiinnngg b.s. wm5 had less of a problem but it didn't have as many options. But if you keep your machines memory clean and run everything off a really fast 2 gig or better memory card it will only fart when you start heavy programs. Remeber try not to store shit on the device put it on the card even if it's a slow one! What about over clocking would that not solve a piece of the problem?

I'm not so much worried about the drivers being released for the Tilt/TyTN II as I am about them justdeveloping them. From there I hope the drivers can be ported into Kaiser ROM. However, I'm not sure this is possible either. Who knows. I agree. I’m not so much worried about the drivers being released for the Tilt/TyTN II as I am about them justdeveloping them.

At least they made a statement. It seemed rather clear. Adding the features would require a great deal of effort on HTCs part. That means a great deal of money they would have to spend. Just look at how long it has taken intel to make a decent driver for the 965 chipsets embedded graphics. They also claim it will require licensing fees. HTC expects to be paid for their effort and expects the customer (the carrier) to pay for the licensing fees. If this does not happen,we wont get the drivers. It sucks,but its understandable. The best we can hope for is that once the drivers exist for some new phone model,that someone can hack them for our phones.

There has got to be a lot of mobile programmers scratching their heads right now trying to figure out how to cash in on the 5K dollar Bounty on the first person to come up with a tested and proven solution for the missing video drivers necessary to make use of the graphic accelerator hardware present but not made use of on our Tilt/TyTN II devices. HTC has not only neglected us, but it appears that there are many devices not making use of proper video drivers to support the hardware installed on their devices.

XDA has over 4K for anyone who can develope one. Seems this will be our only hope. Apparently doing this is a lot harder than what anyone originally thought. This is amazing that HTC would do this.

I just called HTC tech support here in the US, and the rep confirmed that they have no plans to support hardware video acceleration at this time. As a professional consumer magazine journalist I know a PR problem when I see one ;-) my personal use profile is not one that makes the issue a total dealbreaker for me but I have lost a good deal of my initial confidence in HTC and ATT at this point. To not either release the drivers, or at least offer some substantive rationale for failing to support hardware video acceleration in this allegedly flagship device, seems incredibly ill advised to me.
