Over at XDA Developers a lot of discussions have been on going about the missing video drivers for quite a few HTC devices and specifically the HTC Tytn II/Kaiser/Tilt which I also use. The video,2D,3D and the camera performance on this device is very crippled and disappointing. This is one of the best devices HTC has come out with so far and it will be perfect once this issue is resolved. For more info please join the on going discussion at XDA. Also visit HTCClassAction.org for detailed info about this issue and the on going updates recived from HTC.

So far it seems that HTC is supposedly doing something about this issue finally, considering all the media attention its been receiving since Chainfire started the HTCClassAction.org site. But there hasn’t been any official response yet. Hopefully a solution will come forward soon.

Pocketnow.com points to a little configuration hack for better playback of YouTube and Google Videos on your Tytn II’s/Kaiser/Tilt. As with default settings the videos will play for a few seconds and then stop for buffering obviously making them choppy and appear like pretty much crap. AllShawdow.com posters came up with these steps to enhance playback for these types of videos which are for TCPMP:

“1. From the main video screen press Options > Buffering > and double the number in the Normal Buffer Size field. Press Ok.

I performed the above settings and videos just take a few seconds to buffer when you first play, but do not stop intermittently to buffer in between, which is a vast improvement on how videos played before.”

I originally came across this through Pocketpcthoughts.com mentioned by Paul Martin that you can easily configure your Windows Mobile 6 device into a Wifi Router hence using your carrier’s internet wireless connection from lets say your laptop. The updated thread is here of course from XDA Developers with complete instructions on how to accomplish this. The “cab” file to enable this can be directly downloaded from the creator Jongma’s site. Looks like a really great piece of software to make your windows mobile device even more lovelier than it already is. Harnessing the power of technology always brings me joy.

My current favorite HTC Tytn II/Kaiser/Tilt rom cook Duttythroy’s new rom is out on the XDA Developers forum. I just flashed my Tilt with it and it seems to be going smoothly. I will be posting more about this in a few hours.

UPDATE:  Well I have been using this new rom for the past 24 hours and its been working great. Haven’t had any problems so far.
