[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Numbr6:
I guess I wasn't clear with my question. I am aware of what an mkv file is. Most of the mkv files that played smoothly on my Superpad 2/Flytouch 3 were H.264 video with AC3 audio. Re-encoding my my mkv files is NOT an option. The G Tablet and Flytouch 3 have similar specs so the Viewsonic unit should be able to play these files as well as the tablet purchased from Chinagrabber.

After a little more digging around, I have found a couple of android video players that will at least play back my mkv files on the G Tablet. Both the latest versions of RockPlayer and ArcPlayer will play my mkv files with audio and video. However, unlike the flawless playback on the Superpad 2/Flytouch 3 my mkv files do not run smoothly on the G Tablet. The video lags behind the audio. However, at least this is a start.

The version of RockPlayer I'm using is 1.6.3 with software decoding mode. If someone has useful suggestions on how to get my mkv files to play as smoothly on the G Tablet as they do on the Superpad 2/Flytouch 3, I welcome them. Again, coverting these mkv files is NOT an option unless someone can give me a valid reason why another tablet with similar specs will play these files perfectly. So far the only thing that the Superpad 2/Flytouch 3 will outperform the G Tablet on is this playback issue with my mkv files. I suspect this can be resolved and thought with all the tech wizards on the XDA forums someone would be able to solve this issue before me.

Hey gang, my wife's Hero is running Cyanogenmod 7. Yesterday we ported her number to Google Voice. I called Sprint to have them re-activate the phone under a new line. That went through, but my wife can't call. She gets a recording saying she could either dial 911 or operator (or something like that). Sprint tech says they can't activate it if it's rooted (she told them).

Anyway, the phone worked great until the port. Is there something I can do so it has service again? Boot into recovery and clear all data?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
Flash a Sense rom, then call Sprint to activate. Then just nand back to cm. It will work. The missus hero was rooted when I got it for her and that's how I did it.

Also, this shouldn't be posted in the dev section. Q&A or general is where it should be.

It is used to reprogram the phone so that it can be used on a different account. WIthout it, you can only use the phone on your account - so if you wanted to sell it to someone, you would to need to reprogram it for the next user's account. That is where ##3282# comes into play.

Ah, I see. Maybe you have to call Sprint for that now.

I just loaded SweetHoney onto my Vibrant. Love it. But I've lost haptic feedback on my home button and on a few other system-wide actions. Still works on keyboards, and on the back button.

Any idea what's up and/or how to re-enable haptic feedback on the home button?
[Vibrant General] vnthantai:
I am a newbie to Android operating system. As many other newbies, I got a lot troubles and puzzles when using my android phone, recreating themes or modifying ROM, etc... Then I have to post a new thread on forum and waiting for an advice. Sometimes it takes a lot of time just for a easy bug fix.

Therefore, I wonder if some experienced android users can leave their gmail address so that newbies like me can add as buddies in g-talk in order to asking for advices in some cases.

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Best advice I can give you is to start here reading the Noob bible, read read read, then once you are more familiar with the phone, I would join one of the developers personal website forums. The people in there can and will give you advice, you can look into EDT forum, TW etc. All these groups have a varying level of skilled people in each of their respective website forums. But, before launching over to one, you need to have some education, and understanding so you can ask useful questions.

Good luck............. android is a great platform
[Vibrant General] bnielsen40:

99% of the time, all the "easy bug fixes" that you're referring to have already been addressed and resolved. I have been at this a while and have yet to start a new thread because my questions have either already been asked/answered, or I just figure it out myself. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with people asking legit questions, but members starting new threads about common questions is a little irritating and shows a lack of effort in my opinion.

I'm trying to flash Cyanogenmod-wimax-alpha-3 but getting system error:

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img".

"boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/cyanogenmod-wimax-alpha-3.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Using RA-evo-v1.8.0

any help with this appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I've never gotten an error such as that in recovery, but if I did, I would try downloading a new copy of the ROM, and try flashing it again. The part that says E:Error in /sdcard/cyanogenmod-wimax-alpha-3.zip makes me suspicious that you have a corrupted download or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I would try re-downloading the rom file...it seems to be corrupted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
I tried different roms and get the same error, but the roms are good. i used the same copy of this rom on two other phones and they worked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Hmm, interesting. Are you performing a full wipe before flashing the ROM? Did you try flashing Calkulin's Format all.zip prior to attempting to flash the rom? If not, give that a try. If you already did that, I believe I suggest trying to reflash your recovery, or try updating to Amon Ra V2.3 perhaps. The only other thing I can think of (which is actually very possible) is that you have a problem with your actual sd card(corrupt). I would try another one if you have one. If you don't, then back up your sd card, and format it. Then put just the rom back on the sd card, and try again. It's got to be a problem with the recovery or the sd card, in my opinion. (sd card is more likely than a problem with the recovery, in my opnion)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
hmm I would try upgrading to ra 2.3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
Actually when I tried to flash the recovery it bypasses the flash of the bootloader and only flashes the recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I apologize, I don't think I follow what you mean. You tried to reflash your recovery? What method did you try to do so? PC36IMG? Sorry, I'm tired and need you to be more specific, if you can please.:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
Yep I tried flashing the PC36IMG from the bootloader.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Did it recognize the file?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
and the part I was confused about was where you said it bypassed the bootloader and flashed recovery. Did the bootloader scan and find your PC36IMG, then ask you to update? Or is that the part you're saying that it bypassed, and it never asked you to update? What did you mean by 'it bypassed the bootloader and flashed recovery" If it's not reading your PC36IMG and asking you to update, that sort of backs up my theory of you having a corrupt SD card. I would try formatting it, or try using a different SD card for a few minutes, as a diagnostic test, to see if you can flash a rom off of a different SD card. I'm thinking more that it's a problem with your sd card. I have seen people say that if the bootloader doesn't detect your PC36IMG, it usually means that there's an issue of some sort with the SD card, and you must format it. If that sounds like what you're experiencing, then I'd try formatting the SD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
Yep it does, it says parsing...[SD Zip]

[1] BOOTLOADER

[2] RECOVERY

Do you want to start update?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
And then what happened when you pressed volume up to select yes? Did it flash okay, or fail?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
It sees the PC36IMG and asks if I want to update, but it bypasses flashing the bootloader part and then flashes the recovery of the PC36IMG.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I guess I'm just completely missing where flashing a PC36IMG of Amon Ra 2.3 recovery would have anything to do at all about flashing a bootloader. I apologize, but that's where I'm confused at man. Flashing recovery should'nt have anything to do with flashing a bootloader. The bootloader should flash the recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfernandez2:
Should I just unroot and start over again?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That would be my last resort. Have you successfully gotten Amon Ra V2.3 to flash? I've lost where you're at man. I asked you what happened when you selected yes, to flash the recovery. Your response was if you should just unroot and start over. I don't know if you're still on Amon 1.8.0, or if you got updated to 2.3 successfully. I don't know if you ended up trying to format your sd card, or try a different one yet. I would still try that before unrooting, but it's up to you. I've lost where you're currently at, so can't give sound advice on what your next step should be. Sorry dude.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
umm... srry but isn't the file you are trying to flash incredibly out of date? that's the alpha 3 of gginggerbread. wimax was integrated into cm7 quite a while ago. flash a nightly or rc4. that might even be your problem :)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmanham:
Yes but im talking about the speaker you listen to when you speak to people dont think voodoo effects it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navlem:
Oh ok, I misunderstood your question.

As you are talking with people, you can press your volume control button upwards to increase the volume. If you have done that and it still sounds soft to you, I do not know what else can help. Might want to ask a developer if there is any way to increase it via software like voodoo sound.
