You guys may want to be real careful on what you upload to CloudDrive for a while.

Seems Amazon is taking a "unique" approach to this cloud storage & streaming service. They are arguing that they dont need distribution licenses from RIAA because the service is more like a user saving files to an external harddrive, but in this case its the cloud.

They dont have a license agreement with ANY of the labels, which means that things will likely go south. RIAA and labels are likely going to sue Amazon and issue a C&D letter to get the service to stop. They may even get Amazon to turn over user info and lead to other headaches... Sony for one stated that they are "shocked & upset" over Amazon's new CloudDrive service and others are saying they cant believe a company like Amazon went ahead without securing licenses...

http://http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Amazon-faces-backlash-over-rb-3699819521.html

I would only store music previously purchased from Amazon or CDs that you own, just to be safe. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I would bet that if Amazon doesnt secure some sort of licensing deal & tighten up their offerings, RIAA is going to bring lawsuits.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
You make a good point, and I'm no lawyer, but I bet that a judge would throw any lawsuit out. First of all, it's not enabling any kind of file sharing with someone else (unless you give out your username and password, I guess). Secondly, it's music that I own, streaming to a device that I own. I've actually bought 95% of the music in my collection, ripped it from CDs and put it on my computer. I may not own the rights to the music, but I do own those mp3 files.

I also expect the record companies to sue Amazon...however, I expect the judge to tell the record companies to stop being stupid.

Lastly, F*** the RIAA for thinking they can tell me what I can and can't do with the CDs, mp3s and vinyl that I own. I hope they try to sue me for $75 trillion dollars for that Option 30 (Trent Reznor pre-NIN) demo album that I downloaded, so I can countersue them for bringing frivolous lawsuits.
[EVO 4G General] cheebahawk:
I completely agree with you and feel the same way about the RIAA.

It doesnt matter that Amazon is not allowing file sharing between users. The fact that they are storing it on their servers and streaming it to each user is a form of distribution (this is one of the reasons Spotify hasnt been able to kick off their US services). That is why programs like Audiogalaxy, etc use your computer to stream the music and do not store it on their servers (aside from the prohibitive cost of having huge data centers). You would be surprised by the pro-biz judgments out there. Technically Amazon has violated copyright law and licensing agreements by not obtaining a license.

MP3tunes tried offering the same type of service as CloudDrive, they have been in court since 2007. Their case hasn't been thrown out.

Also look at what happened with GeoHot and the court ordering paypal and other sites to turn over IP addresses so that Sony can identify users, albeit they are doing it to determine the correct forum, but the order didnt limit what Sony can use it for (as far as media has reported).

Of course this is all moot, if Amazon is A) able to get public opinion on their side (which will happen) and forces the record labels to allow it or B) enter into some sort of license agreement (which will screw users like you & I who cant prove that they bought digital copies of the music)

Sorry for the long post but basically the courts throwing the case out against Amazon, should lawsuits be brought, is very slim.
[EVO 4G General] johnkim575:
So far so good. But I keep getting "network error" when I am on 3g. Anyone else?
[EVO 4G General] Mike Fitz:
Legal implications notwithstanding, I'm glad to see someone finally offering a way to share your music across devices pretty seamlessly.

The interface of the player needs some polish, but after downloading the music to my device from the "cloud" I'm able to play all of it on the stock HTC music player just fine, opened it and it was all listed with cover art.

We'll see how Google responds when they manage to push their service out, competition is good.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
I understand what you are saying, and agree that, according to the letter of the law, Amazon may be infringing copyright. According to that same letter of the law, though, how is it any different if I upload my music collection to my server that my webpage is on and stream it from there? Would that open me up to litigation from Sony, et al?
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
The good thing is that Amazon is big enough to be able to fight this and win. Small companies don't have enough money to deal with all the legal fees. I'm sure Amazon has thought this through. Any reasonable person and judge should throw this out. Hopefully this will set a precedent and allow for more competition.

I got the Pantera album and now I have 20Gb. woot

Is there an app for using cloud drive like dropbox?
[EVO 4G General] Kalvan:
Yeah, I was using 4G or WiFi until I read that the issue is actually with Sprint, not Amazon. Call Sprint tech support (877-735-8405) and they will push an update to your phone that fixes the issue. Just explain that you have having issues with music streaming with your EVO.

I've been streaming on 3G for 30 minutes now with no network errors.
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Amazon updated the application last night with sort of a work around for sprint phones. But they say the problem is with sprint network.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
I've been enjoying this service for several days now. It really works remarkably well on my Evo, unless I'm travelling (which I did a lot of this past week), and am in 1x territory for more than a few minutes. In which case, it kind of blows..as would any streaming service.

Oddly, playing music through their web based app is much more problematic - it freezes up from time to time, and I have to reload the webpage. Still, if it only happens once every few hours, I'm ok with it, although it's annoying.

Until I have a device that natively supports the Google service, I'll be sticking with this...I really enjoy that the music I buy from them doesn't count against my storage space, as I do buy a ton of music through them. I wish I could upload music I've downloaded from them in the past, and have it not count against it either, but 5 gig (looking beyond the first year, as I'm not going to pay for 20 gig) should be fine.
[EVO 4G General] InfectedMushroom:
Unless they do FLAC, I'm out. Why pay money for lossy, compressed music? It's not like storage is expensive so why settle for low quality music?
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
The upgrade works with gift cards too. I had $2 credit from a promo amazon was running over christmas time and I bought a $0.99 album today with that credit and I was upgraded to the 20GB service. Only 16 more hours until my music is uploaded...
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
+1. I feel the exact same way

swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
Hmmm...Well, you can upload whatever you want, and it streams in the original bitrate, so maybe you can. But when I'm using the kind of headphones that you generally use with a cell phone, I'm only so worried about the bitrate.

Folks,

I've started using ADW Launcher instead of HTC Sense and really like it but need a few widget replacements, could you help?

4x4 Scrollable News Widget

4x4 Calculator Widget

4x4 Month View Calendar Widget

4x4 Music Player (currently using 4x2 PowerAMP)

The RSS I want to read on my news widget are:

Could anyone help me find these apps/widgets and setup the feeds?
[Desire Themes and Apps] aca85:
For RSS i use PUSLE ,excellent!

CAlendar - Try PureCalendar

Calc - Scientific Calc.

Music Player - Winamp / MortPlayer (pro)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Nyto75:
for the music player try btunes or the one in Miui ROM (just extract the apk from the .zip :))
[Desire Themes and Apps] bertles86:
Cool thanks, when I add a widget in ADW it doesn't show one for Pulse? Any ideas?
[Desire Themes and Apps] dmcconachie:
Has Pulse installed on the phone or the SD card? If the latter then the widget will not be available!
[Nook Color General] Paul Paulson:
I bought the FPSE ps1 emulator the other day since I read great reviews but it won't seem to work on my Nook. I'm running CM7 off my sd and i've fiddled around with this app for a few days now and nothing is working. I got it running on my Vibrant but it just doesn't seem to run on the Nook. Anyone actually get it to run? How?
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
I have it working on CM7(emmc), I just load the program and find the isos. Simple as that. Works so much better than Psx4droid.. -_-
[Nook Color General] Paul Paulson:
I've done that but it won't load my iso's. I even tried removing psxdroid and reloading the .bin files but they won't open. Maybe it's just the particular games.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
It's probably the games. I was told the games have be "pure" .isos, and most of the stuff that Rom gripper and Rom buddy grab, are crap. Every game I've played, I either ripped or got from certain sources...
[Nook Color General] Paul Paulson:
Thanks. I'll try that. I have one laying around somewhere that i'll try tonight.
[Nook Color General] mateo124:
Hey I also got FPSe but I can't get it to work at all. I did adb push and it copied it just doesn't launch. Any suggestions? Would it be because I'm using the stock eclair ROM?
[Nook Color General] Paul Paulson:
I finally got it to work when I switched to CM7 RC4. I don't think Eclair will be able to handle it since I had to use the latest version of the gingerbread rom to get it yo work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daehenoc:
Hi,

After flashing to 2.2 in November last year (rooting the phone, etc), my startup sound stopped working. I've tried to set or reset the startup sound using the SGS Tools application, but nothing happens. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Edit: The shutdown sound works just fine, which I don't understand :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Shutdown is a different file its ogg file .

PowerOn .Wave in system/etc is boot sound

Startup sound is probably corrupt .Easy fix might be to use rom kitchin update.zip and a standard sounds and flash via CWM .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801481

you have to use SSPL to update your ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694409

read carefully before update and make a backup of your Contacts and/or tasks and calendar

Attention: YOUR DEVICE HAS TO BE UNLOCKED and preferably have your Original ROM in case of problem...!

you can find your Original ROM in htc.com / support (from your device region).

and the instruction:

1- your device has to be ON and have at least 50% battery

2- connect to your PC and wait to have the green "connected" icon on active sync

3- run sspl_mini >>>> you will get a message on your device click YES as fast as possible!

4- your device will go to a tricolor screen and you will get an error again on SSPL.

5- DO NOT PANIC! your device will stay on tricolor screen and will have USB down the screen

6- restart SSPL and follow instruction....

7- New rom will install!!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacc:
Having bought one of the first Galaxy S, I know what a pain it was at the beginning.

Improvements have been dramatic since the first I9000 android version 2.1 (bug clearance, quicker, introduction to full flash, better gps etc.).

I now arrived at gingerbread like most of you, and coming from 2.2.1 JS8, I really didn't feel much of a breakthrough. In some way it feels like we have to go again through bug fixes and improvements.

Is it really that important the move from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3?

Is there any actual important breakthrough?

Although I didn't have any problems with 2.3.3, I reverted again to 2.2.1 JS8 which feels safer for my day to day.

Just leave a few comments on this, and maybe mention what is missing on gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Davith:
Well if you're not in any hurry best thing for you is to wait for Samsung to release the kernel sources. Then we'll have some custom kernels with speed improvements, BLN, Voodoo sound, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
CyanogenMod 2.3.3 is much better than 2.2.1, despite a few little faults that probably need Samsung source to be fixed, I have been living with it since March 6, not even one crash on normal use... :cool:

So good I didnt bother testing Samsung JVK, JV1 I tested and was rubbish... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkyG82:
+1 on waiting for source release. I tried ultibread 1.3 which is jv1 based and it was such a ball ache getting it installed and noticed a reduction in every day performance that I reverted back.

I think I'll wait for second releases of custom rom after the source release as the major bugs should be ironed out by then and also the custom kernels should be mega-super-great too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvvine:
As Promised by Samsung they will release Gingerbread i,e 2.3.x.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] hotleadsingerguy:
This. I use the stock video player for everything (I just convert the videos...it takes 10 seconds) but if I use an app to download a youtube video that doesn't play natively VitalPlayer can do it.

I agree with Vital Player. Just grabbed it and it works great.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] thatoneguy247:
What do you use to convert the videos?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] circuitjc:
I use handbrake with the normal preset setting modified only for screensize.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] hotleadsingerguy:
Same as circuit, but you have to make sure to use FFMpeg since the Atrix doesn't play high-profile H.264. Plays perfectly though if you transcode in FFMPeg even up to 1080p and 5,000kbps or higher. Doesn't seem to phase it at all.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tuantuti:
i use rockplayer and it works pretty solid. plays anything i downloaded from the internet.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] tuantuti:
this is strictly converter for iPhone, and it doesn't do .avi files. I use FormatFactory to convert my videos, it's a very powerful app and support many formats.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] circuitjc:
It reads everything I have thrown at it so far. If I want XVID though I use xvid4psp.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] zanzee:
No handbrake is not only for iphone, its for mpg4. So its perfect for transcoding to .mp4 or containers like *.mkv. I use it all the time and it works great if you make your own presets. Heck even the presets for iphone work great if you don't mind the scaling.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] btoast:
Do these converters retain sub titles? I wish we didn't have to convert anything. When I had the Galaxy Tab that thing played everything I threw at it with no conversions.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] zanzee:
With handbrake you can hard sub or multi lang sub. But im not sure how well different players will work with muti lang subs. VLC needs to get a native android app with gpu and smp decoding asap!

MoboPlayer is the best

I have a bunch of video players each with its own set of features. MoboPlayer is excellent. It shows you video list screenshots, it reads off the external SD card, it plays all formats, it has onscreen controls, there are onscreen controls to size the screen, it is fast and colors are good. The only thing it does not do is play videos in the background. I believe Meridian Player does that.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Girgizzlemuf:
Latest update for qqplayer supports SRT unstyled subtitles in *.mkv....

but no matter what the codec inside the mkv you will never achieve hardware accelerated playback.

if you want hardware accelerated playback, it needs to be an mp4 ~3~

Hi all,

My school is going to import GSM scramblers in order to block all cell phone signals (including GSM, CDMA, 3G and more I think)

First off-

I want to know if this is illegal (in the Netherlands) I've already googled and searched the whole forum but no real results.

The school it self says this is legal as they are also going to provide parents special codes that will allow the them to contact their children for emergency calls.

However here comes the big deal, where our XDA developers play an immense role at... is it possible to bypass those scramblers? Is there any chance for an app that will penetrate those scramblers to get the special codes? (prefer android platform )

Share opinions, idea's, tricks , information everything is welcome

Thanks in advance
