[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
I've tried playing 720p mkvs on the ADAM tablet and the transformer suing MoboPlayer and VPlayer. Neither succeeded. The framerate was slow and audio was often out of sync.

I actually got a better framerate by locally connecting to my MAC using remote desktop on the Asus and playing the file through that!!! (It still wasn't great though).

So, to me, it looks like the Tegra 2 cannot handle 720p mkv and above. :( I never experienced the issue on my iPad, but then again I was converting on the fly using airvideo....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
Than I would be very careful with an answer if I were an Asus :-) but, I would really respect them if they would say loud and clear - sorry it will not do it. So far neither Google, Motorola or Nvidia had put any word about this.... "we will not talk about it and problem will go away - people will buy tablets and be happy!" :-(
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
There is a thorough information on Motorola site about the profile you need to play HD files on Xoom. Nvidia probably has it in Tegra2 specs. Google doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Argh.

MKV (Matroska) is a container format not a codec. It is either parsed or not. It has virtually no impact on performance. The video stream inside could be encoded in almost any way. Nowadays that is often h.264.

The tegra2 SOC can handle:

H.264 with sub standards Baseline Profile (B frames) — 1080p/20Mbps,

Main Profile (B Frames, CAVLC) — 1080p,

Main Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction) — 720p/6Mbps and

High Profile (B Frames, CABAC, no weighted prediction).

Tegra2 running android with the latest froyo binaries on a harmony board can handle:

1080p using baseline profile

720p using main profile

No high profile

Tegra2 running Android with the current honeycomb binaries on a ventana board can handle:

1080p baseline profile

No main profile

No high profile.

This is all ignoring things like rockplayer that will _never_ play HD content well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Ok, I'll rephrase what I said - Neither the Adam nor the Asus played the 720p h.264 mkv files I threw at it. Or, rather, they played them, but at a crawl.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Remember that via HDMI you can connect the tablet to something bigger. Also if you keep the screen close to your eyes it's as big as a TV on the wall (as a person with nearsightedness I prefer to watch from very close distance). The resolution is perfect for 720p.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Well, when I get one I'll try watching something and get back to you :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
What were you using to play them? As I said MKV support is either there or it isn't. I believe Samsung add it into their framework for the galaxy tab but the Asus and the Adam shouldn't play MKVs at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgdg:
Thank you!, this is the best explanation I have heard so far. I was getting confused since on the wiki for Tegra, it clearly said it would play 1080p base :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra#Tegra_2_.28T20.2FAP20H.29

But my question is:

-if the SOC can handle 720p Hi and 1080p Main, is this a s/w issue of the binaries not being able to handle it? If so, which binaries, NVidia binaries or Honeycomb binaries?

-Also, according to the wiki, Asus and most others are Harmony board, not sure if this would make any difference

-Is this a potentially solvable issue by future Honeycomb updates since the H/W can handle 720p Hi?

-What is most content (tv shows in hi def and such) encoded as? Hi profile I presume..

Just trying to get a feel of how much re-encoding I will have to deal with to be able to watch in Hi profile 720p on the Asus…

Also, I have heard reports that the Asus when connected to an HDTV is limited to 720p, is this correct?

According to this NVidia reply, it should have been able to output 1080p to TV:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
I've confirmed the Samsung Galaxy tab can play these videos. When you say they have added it into their framework does this mean that it is a hardware or software issue? IE. Could it ever be fixed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Galaxy Tab or Galaxy Tab 10.1? Galaxy Tab is not a Tegra2 device, has different chip with ability to play everything.

Offtopic: Asus Poland also said that "the bootloader won't be unlocked" - pretty dissapointing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Yes, Galaxy Tab. The guy who sits next to me has one, so I thought I'd try it out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmanaenk1:
I'm gonna bump this, since I'm trying to figure out the capabilities of what I bought.

Got a bunch of 1080p AVC main profile@L4.0 videos off my car camera. Would be nice to be able to view those on the Pad. Software players open those, but play at ~5fps.

Looking above it is clear that no current hardware decoding support. Is there hope/development that in future android updates 1080p @main profile will be supported?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoprimal:
This whole thing is now confusing me too whereas before I figured these Honeycomb tablets just needed some updates to be able to play everything. Now I'm reading that Ventana is limited???

I had a GTablet which is based on the Tegra 2 Harmony SoC and it played every different file I could throw at it.

The Iconia Tab only handles Mp4s, some well...some not so much (guessing this is depending on the profile or w/e, I don't get into those details).

I'm seeing an intelligent looking explanation above except that reading through the tegra 2 specs I'm seeing where it handles all the different file types at 1080p (no profile specified, or maybe it is? /shrug) and so I'm hoping with all my heart that the issue at hand is that there are currently just few Honeycomb drivers right now and that in the future we'll get updates allowing us to watch anything that is encoded.

Acer has promised an upgrade slated for June that would increase the variety of playable file types so that as it is and contrary to what the intelligent post has stated, it would seem that this is not hardware but a current software limitation unless somehow Ventana possesses a different and more limited GPU than Harmony? Or am I missing something/did I get something wrong?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html

That's the SoC of Tegra 2, basically what the broad Tegra 2 platform can handle, yes?

http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/devkit-ventana

That's the ventana dev kit and it's only up to Gingerbread, which is why I figured that Nvidia simply needs to release one for Honeycomb for our tabs to get the newest drivers, etc. which will enable hardware and software decoding for the rest of formats and profiles.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaetanolip:
Your old GTablet is not based on Tegra 2. It has a different cpu, different gpu capable of hardware decoding much more video files than Tegra 2. That's it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Assuming he's talking about the ViewSonic GTablet, it *is* based on Tegra-2.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaetanolip:
I was assuming he was talking about Samsung galaxy tab. i don't think ViewSonic GTablet

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Nvidia, but remember the binaries may _never_ be up to snuff, Nvidia are not renown for quality linux drivers. Also I _may_ be wrong about the 720p high profile, the official Tegra2 doc is vague and poorly formatted but it can handle high profile, just not a lot of it.

The Transformer is Ventana otherwise it wouldn't be running Honeycomb. Only the Ventanna boards have honeycomb kernels, the Harmony-based boards only have froyo kernels.

Maybe, but unlikely, it's more likely we'll get 720p Main profile (Via Nvidia) but if we can apply enough pressure we could also get Matroska (MKV) container support from google (its already mostly implemented for WebM) and AVI container support back (it was in Froyo, removed in Honeycomb)

iPlayer is Main profile for SD content and High for HD content (no idea about the rest I can't get them in the UK)

I generally grab the 1080p high streams and batch re-encode to 720p-baseline using ffmpeg.

Yeah, I have a support ticket open about that they did claim 1080p so I'll bet there will be an update to fix that.

Yes but all of these can only ever use the CPU so they will never be as good as the hardware accelerated system player.

There is hardware decoding, It's just not up to snuff. "Hardware decoding" is not a magic wand that suddenly makes everything super smooth, it still need a lot of software support to work well enough.

The Viewsonic Gtab can't play 1080p high profile, nor 720p high profile. It can just barely play 720p main profile, I have the Vega which is almost identical save the wifi chipsets.

Ventana hardware is no more limited than Harmony hardware, both can't do 1080p High profile (and neither can currently play 720p High using android, but _might_ be able to eventually)

This will not happen, the specs of the SOC itself (on either a harmony or Ventana board) say it cannot handle 1080p High profile at all, This is certain.

Here's the info I know about the SOC itself (not running Android, just bare metal) mentioned here: http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/21330-tegra-2-can-play-all-the-hd-you-can-imagine I then searched around to try and format the info more understandably. This appears to be a translation of this: http://translate.google.com/transla...om/2010/12/16/toradex-colibri-nvidia-tegra-t2
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbob1971:
Thanks for that comprehensive reply.

You say 'Yes but all of these can only ever use the CPU so they will never be as good as the hardware accelerated system player' but Vital player (I think) for one has both a hardware and software decoding option. (Or is the hardware version still only hitting the cpu?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
"Hardware decoding" is identical to playing via the default media player, it just wraps the system MediaPlayer object (Hence has the same limitations, no MKV, no AVI, no high profile, no AC3) all it does is save you switching to the default video player app. Software decoding is generally an Android port of ffmpeg or mplayer that just writes to the screen manually.

Software decoders are great for playing obscure formats (Like realvideo) in odd containers, but only if they are fairly low resolution/bitrate. they are never going to be able to decode HD content realtime, especially not ultra-high complexity stuff like H.264 high-profile.

http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-92172.html

This is an old thread talking about the PC CPU requirement for playing h.264 high profile at 1080p remember that a 1Ghz ARM core (RISC) can achieve notably less that a 1Ghz Intel core (CISC)

The best possible situation I can see happening is Google giving us AVI and MKV container support (or the community doing that when we have the HC source) and Nvidia getting their fingers out and giving up 720p Main profile (The community can't do anything about that other than hassle OEMs and get them to hassle Nvidia)

Hey guys... I was wondering, if its possible, how can I get the keyboard from 2.2 on cm7. I really like ld that keyboard because it had arrows and it looked better imo. Also, how can I get better user agents in the browser, because ie6 is pretty outdated. I liked how in 2.2 you could deselect mobile view and every site appears in desktop mode.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
The keyboard from CM6 (2.2) didn't have arrows, so I'm guessing you are talking about the HTC keyboard that comes with the stock rom.

Look around the Evo Themes and Apps section, or the XDA Android Apps section for "HTC IME Mod." It is the HTC Sense keyboard. However most versions I have seen do not have the arrow keys, since that keyboard existed on other Sense phones before the Evo, which all had a trackball or sensor. But I expect by now someone has released a version with it.

Also some of the alternate keyboards in the market and Swype have arrows, at least in a secondary screen. I use Swype often because you Swype from the Swype button to the symbol button and it pulls up a text editing keyboard, with arrows and buttons for select, copy, cut, paste, tab, etc.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] se1988:
Before you go all "shut up, this topic has been written about over and over" you should read what i just found.

Yes, I have tried every solution in the forum. Even though these solutions proved to increase battery a bit, it was not nearly enough.

Changing sync settings for (hot)mail from "every XX minutes" to "as items arrive" may increase your battery life.

I started using this setting a few days ago, and I have gone from changing battery twice a day to once a day. That means 100% increase in battery life for me (and i am a heavy user!)

Why does this work? I think it may be because the phone use much more juice connecting to network every XX minutes than keeping a constant connection alive.

Please do tell if this works for you!!

[Nexus S General] Corvidd:
Does the extra 2-3% battery you gain really make that much of a difference?

The inability to charge to 100% is a deliberate feature to prevent overcharging; by cycling charging on and off when the battery nears full capacity.

I'd imagine having wifi tethering on, combined with the charging, would also result in a very hot phone, again, bad for battery life and health. Is it really worth it?
