Is GL_OES_compressed_paletted_texture really supported on iPhone hardware?

The "iPhone Application Programming Guide" document, in the "Drawing with OpenGL ES" section, says that GLOES_compressed_palettedtexture is supported by the iPhone hardware.
But there's a post in the ImgTec forums, at http://www.imgtec.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=128 , that says paletted textures are not actually supported by the PowerVR MBX Lite hardware.
So what's the real story? I don't want to use a bunch of paletted textures, only to consume far more memory than I was intending to.

Upon further reading, it's clear that the iPhone hardware doesn't support paletted textures -- they're internally expanded to texels the size of palette entries.
So, if nothing else, you may want to consider 16-bit palette colors, e.g. GLPALETTE4_RGBA4OES, GLPALETTE8_RGBA4OES, GLPALETTE4_R5_G6_B5OES, and GLPALETTE8_R5_G6_B5OES.

  • Is the iPhone  hardware could support the distance measure?

    Is the iphone hardware could support the distance measure?

    No, an iPhone 6 purchased in the US will not work on 4G in the UK - it is not designed to.
    Why on earth are you considering purchasing an iPhone in the US to use in the UK?  Basically, it is a completely instance idea to do this - if you live in the UK and are going to be using the phone in the UK on the 3 network, then buy it in the UK.
    If you buy the phone in the UK, then you get 4G coverage and also EU warranty cover should anything go wrong with the phone.
    If you buy the phone in the US, you will not get 4G on the phone and you will have no warranty cover for the phone either, as iPhone warranty is NOT international, so it means that you will have to fly back to the US should anything go wrong with the phone.
    You also will not save as much money as you think you will.  There are local taxes as well as other taxes to pay on US phones and when you come back to the UK you may have to pay import duty and VAT on the phone too, so all money you thought you saved will probably work out at the same price, so you won't really have a phone that you can use fully - no 4G and no warranty cover.

  • IPhone 4 does not really support MJPEG?

    iPhone 4 tech specs claim that it supports Motion JPEG videos.
    However, *iTunes refuses to copy any MJPEG video to my iPhone 4*. If I try to drag them, it says "<file> was not copied to the iPhone <name> because it cannot be played on this iPhone". If I sync a photo folder with "Include videos" checked, it just ignores those videos.
    The videos are in exactly the format listed in the iPhone tech specs: "Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format".
    They play perfectly in both QuickTime Player and VLC. QuickTime movie inspector says they are "Motion JPEG OpenDML, 1280x720, Millions; u-law 2:1, Stereo, 44.100 kHz", frame rate 30.00 fps.
    All of my software is up to date. iPhone 4.2.1, iTunes 10.1.1.4, QuickTime 7.6.9, Windows XP Pro SP3.
    I've tried smaller video sizes (640x480). I've tried both dragging and syncing. No joy. MPEG4 videos transfer no problem, but not MJPEG.
    What's the deal? Does my iPhone 4 really support MJPEG videos? If so, how the heck can I transfer them?
    I hate to say it, but MJPEG support is looking like blatant false advertising by Apple.

    cls24 -- Click on the "iPhone" tab at the top of this page, then the "Tech Specs" link at top right. Voila. MJPEG support. This would be very handy if it worked since our cameras shoot both high-def and standard-def MJPEG.
    Monty1945 -- It would be very helpful to know:
    1) Exactly how did you transfer your "old M-JPEG files" to the iphone?
    2) Exactly what file format (eg avi, mov) and video/audio codecs (use Movie Inspector in Quicktime Player) did those files use?
    Otherwise, I have to assume you are remembering incorrectly, because I have tried MANY different combinations of codecs, formats, and fourCCs to get this to work. It simply doesn't.
    Has anyone else tried to put their MJPEG videos on their iPhone 4, and found that it doesn't work?
    Thanks.

  • Do we get hardware support from iPhone from iYogi?

    Do we get hardware support from iPhone from iYogi?

    Stay away from iYogi, I just had an experience with them. I bought a Canon Pixma inkjet printer with abilitie to print DVD's. But I couldn't figure out the way to do it, they have colorful templates for dvd's and I want a plain template to do full DVD discs.  I called Canon and was sent to these guys.
    One guy answered, said he could do it but didn't know very much how to do it, and took over my computer to "check things out" and discovered it was "slow". I said I didn't care just tell me how to do it. Short story is that he said they would have to clean my computer first and then he could tell me.
    I said no thanks and he kept pressuring me until I told him to forget it. I hung up, went to my PC uninstall where I found their program and uninstalled it. There's a lot of people asking for this.
    My ultimate solution is to return the Canon and get a new epson that prints DVDs like my old one.

  • How apple support my iphone who ever my serial is replaced and  how i know my iphone is refurbished  ??

    Hi everyone! I have iphone 4s, which was my friends bought it from canada appstore about 1 month before and has serial number DQ*******TDD and IMEI ****. When i try to check warranty on the page https://selfsolve.apple.com/wcResults.do i see
    We're sorry, but this is a serial number for a product that has been replaced. Please check your information and re-enter your serial number. If your information is correct, you may need to contact us.
    And if i try to enter IMEI here i see
    Our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide the serial number for your replacement product to find the support and warranty coverage information. For more information, please contact us.
    Does it means, that I was bought a non exist iPhone? Or it was refurbished? I need an official answer to take them to seller because I was bought iPhone as a new.
    How I know my iphone is  refurbished?
    Thank you.
    answers that i folow up and find are :
    - Did you purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller? If not, then you were scammed.
    - It means you bought a gray market phone that was replaced, reported lost, or reported stolen, then re-sold illegally. It has no warranty and Apple will not service it with an out of warranty replacement.
    - If your phone was replaced, it was most likely refurbished.
    - You cannot tell the difference between a refurbished phone and a new one.
    - check your serial number if its starts with 5K then its refurbished model
    Not true. All it does is identify it as 'service stock'. It may be refurbised, or it may be new. There is no way for you, or even someone at an Apple Store, to tell the difference.
    6 - You bought a phone that was stolen, lost, or taken in for repair and then re-sold illegally. get your money back if you can.
                 If there is ever a hardware problem that requires service, you will most likely not be able to get it serviced or replaced by Apple.
    7- During the refurbishment process the devices are assigned a new serial number.
    8- This means that your iPhone was replaced by Apple and you entered the serial number for your old iPhone which was replaced.
    9- That means that particular phone has been replaced under warranty. Where did you get the phone from? If it was used, the previous owner may have had it replaced and not returned it to Apple as they were supposed to and sold it.
    10-  Interpreting what you postd, it would seem you had the device replaced at some earlier stage.  Apple doesn't repair but instead replaces the whole unit with a refurbished unit which has its own serial number. Whatever the case, you will have to see Apple about the matter.
    11-  white box (new) or a brown box (refurb)
    now my questions :
    how i know my iphone is refurbished and how apple support my iphone who ever my serial is replaced ??

    How can I know my device is refurbished or new one??Can I check my device is refurbished or new with serial number?

  • Via adapter - this accessory is not supported by iPhone

    Hi All,
    I've just purchased and apple vga adapter for my iphone 4, when I plug it in I get the message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone" and im unable to transmit to an external display. Does anyone have any ideas? Really frustrated as I thought purchasing an Apple product that says its iPhone compatible would avoid issues like this!
    Cheers,
    Sacha

    Hi, I recently had the same problem with my docking station which has been working fine for 6 months + then suddenly the message and no sound from the speakers.  I cleaned the docking connector on my iphone 4 with a small dry brush (and blew into it several times to dislodge all dust particles).  Did the same to connector on the docking station and it all works fine now.  Seems the iphone docking connector is very sensitive and therefore needs to be kept clean - give it a try.

  • HT1937 i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears  The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please

    i unlocked my iphone 4 factory and i upgrade to 6.1 when i connect it to itunes it apears
    The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported
    This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.

    It sounds like you or someone else hacked the phone to unlock it. Updating it locked it to the original carrier.
    How did you unlock it? The ONLY legitimate way is to ask the carrier it is locked to to unlock it. Any other way requires hacking or jailbreaking the phone.

  • IPhone 4s suddenly not seen by Win7, but is seen by iTunes? A friend who supports 30 iphones as an IT manager says it's a rampant issue since update. Official position Apple??

    I'm completely up to date, I've restarted my pc and my phone several times. Is this intentional? Is apple trying to hide the device so it forces you to go through itunes and icloud?
    Photostream has NEVER worked for me anyway and even if it did I want to see my device on my computer. My 16gb 4s has been 'backing up' for over an hour now. I can no longer access my phone photo folders through my computer, my phone does not even appear as a device anymore. It charges and itunes starts right up though. Prior to this last update it worked fine.
    I don't want to be forced into using icloud or itunes to access my data. Is this yet another glitch or is it intentional?
    I texted my IT friend hoping for a quick fix and he texts back  "As you know I support 30 iphones, this week has been a nightmare, I feel your pain and don't have an answer."
    I've seen a lot of similar posts when googling this issue but no one from apple support has addressed this, the only 'solutions' are 'reinstall icloud' or something like that. F*** icloud, which I deleted anyway. I want to access my phone through my computer as I was doing before.
    All my drivers are up to date on my pc.

    @ Peter: So this is apple supports way of saying 'we have no clue' or 'yes infact we are attempting to force you to use itunes as the sole way of transferring your data'?
    Since you apparently can't figure out the issue by reading my first post I will lay it out very simply:
    Ever since this last iTunes update (just this week) my Win 7 64 bit computer will not 'see' my 4s iPhone, but iTunes will. Prior to this I could go to 'My Computer' and see my phone, I could then open and copy any photos or videos out of it to my computer in 1/1000th of the time it took to sync with iTunes.
    Now, suddenly I can't. Restarting my phone and my computer several times has not resolved this issue.
    1) I'd like a solution if there is one
    2) If there isn't one I'd like to know if this is something apple has done intentionally
    3) If you're reading this and do not have a solution or an answer to this issue, please don't call me liar or complain that I'm ranting.

  • I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

    I have an iBook G4 and iTunes is no longer updating. The last update is 9.2.1 but it doesn't support my iPhone or iPad. Is there anything I can do to update iTunes or is my only recourse to update my laptop?

    As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
    But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
    Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
    Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
    Hope this helps.

  • Language Support for iPhone

    I just got the iphone this morning. Its pretty good, except for two big problems. One is the EDGE network, which is slow, but nothing to be done about that.
    The second is the lack of language support. I expected it to support the languages that OS X does, but it seems that the iphone is most limited in this regard. Of particular irritation to me is the lack of Hebrew support, as a good chunk of my iTunes library is in hebrew. In addition, websites don't render correctly with unsupported languages...
    Is this going to be fixed? soon?!

    Tom,
    The limitation seems to be one of the 4 included encodings that are in Mac OSX's version of Safari, but not supported by iPhone's Mail interface. I received 6 emails from Japan (thru the iPhone's Yahoo mail interface) and one of them came in as junk characters. In a browser, you can just keep trying the other encodings to make the junk characters readable-this is not possible (from what I can tell) within iPhone's mail interface.
    If I have time, I will log into the Yahoo mail account directly thru Safari on the iPhone, to see if that works better than iPhone mail-but I'm assuming they use a similar encoding scheme. I also assume that once they release the iPhone in Japan, this will be addressed

    Sorry if my English isn't correct because of I'm Italian.
    You must switch on the lost mode on the app " Find my iPhone ".
    If you can see it on the map of this app, you will know where is your iPhone in that moment.
    REMEMBER: you can see your iPhone on the map of  " Find my iPhone"  only if it is online. Indeed you can't see your iPhone if it's offlined or switched of.

  • Looking for a soundmax that supports my computer hardware...

    Like the title says, I turned on my computer this morning and a message popped out that my Soundmax didn't load properly and needed to reinstall it. So I go to unistall a program in control panel and in my lack of knowledge in computers made me uninstall it(I should have rolled it back in device manager maybe...). Then after restarting, I don't have the soundmax installer in unistall a program and I have been desperately looking for a working one but all I got was errors saying it doesn't support my computer hardware even though it was made for my computer though. Anyone know how to get back Soundmax? And no I don't have a recovery partition...
