Discussion: DO NOT BUY THE KAISER...

"Thusands of people are haveing issues with this device. The issues are Hardware & Performance related. It seems the the Kaiser has a cheap USB port that is breaking for many. Also the device is extremely slow whenever you do any emulation, remote desktop functions, play any videos, stream any videos, & play any games. This is a great concept device, but that's all it is as there are many bugs plagueing it. The biggest problem is that while HTC & numerous carriers know about these issues, no comment has been made by the manufacturer or any of the retailers. Numerous emails to HTC went unanswered after 3 weeks & Tech support was a joke; I called once & was told they know nothing about this issue, I called again the next day & was told that a fix is being worked on, but when I asked for the Gals name I was misteriously disconnected. A third call obtained annother I never heard about that problem. & when I pointed the guy to several developer threads discussing this issue I was told not to believe what you see on those sights that they are all sort of extremists there. I then asked him if I shuold believe my own eyes & he laughed & said there was nothing they could do."

"I have to agree with the original poster. Video performance on the Kaiser is very very poor. Worse than the Hermes or Tytn as far as I'm concerned. Check out the YouTube videos over in the Tytn II forum for evidence of this. HTC Customer Service has so far been ver non-responsive to this problem. Thousands of people have now signed a petition expressing displeasure at these issues and asking HTC to help us get some video performance into this otherwise outstanding device. I don't think thousands of people could be wrong."

"It's not as much of a problem with watching movies, Youtube, Slingplayer or that type of thing as it is a video problem when using emulators, playing games, scrolling etc."

"So what exactly are you having issue with? I have watched YouTube using a cab file I found online and I dont have any complaints. Perhaps I am not attempting to the use the device the same way that you are...I also have DVD's on my SD card that I watch while I am kiling time in airports and have no complaint there either. What is it that you are trying to view that I am not and having problems with? As far as I can see, the device does what it promises to do, what are you seeing that is different? Please help me understand why this seems to be such a big deal because I simply dont get it.
As far as the petition is concerned, has it been presented to rhe HTC Corporate office? "

"Again, I do not have those problems when using PocketNESter, games or scrolling. They all work fine for me. Again, I am not doubting that these things happen, but to say that the Kaiser as a whole is something to avoid is a brash statement. Especially when there are probably just as many people who have no problems with their devices."

"Save for KaiserTweaks, are any of these apps intended to have a performance enhancing effect? Have you experienced attempting to scroll large pdf documents or large web-pages with this configuration? Have you tried the same with a stock device with no apps? I wonder if there is a global variation in the hardware/software shipped (I am UK )."
