[General Questions and Answers] v14d1427:
the only interesting thing that 10.1v is having is 8MP camera. Otherwise I would get the slimmer version.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
So I was on SuperTube (paid version) trying to play a music video uploaded yesterday.

This specific video had up to 1080p quality, and I decided to stream the 720p version on SuperTube. Five seconds later I received a "Open Video Error!".

After using Keepvid.com to download this specific video, it turns out the video was part of the new wave of WebM encoded videos on YouTube.

To further confirm this issue, I specifically looked for WebM encoded videos on YouTube, sent it to my WP7, and copy-pasted the video name into SuperTube to try. Same error.

We all know that Microsoft is not going to support the codec, and SuperTube depends on Zune to play the .MP4 contained videos from YouTube.

Also, in some cases, the native YouTube app is unable to play the videos.

It is important to note that YouTube still encodes 360p videos using H264 and not WebM, as I was able to play those fine on SuperTube. LazyTube tends to play most of my test cases, with exceptions.

So, here I am presenting this potential problem (as YouTube will completely more to WebM soon) with WP7 YouTube and Video codec problem. What are you thoughts?

Any Ideas?

PS: To further confirm that 360p videos work and 720p videos do not, I downloaded the videos and uploaded them to my phone directly through Explorer (using the registry hack to make the device appear) and the 360p worked, while the 720p did not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I've read and heard from my friends reports that there are problems with HD videos on Android devices, too. Whether this is due to WebM or not I don't know.

The whole world must bend over backwards now because Google doesn't like paying. No single SoC supports decoding WebM at this time, so it's not even up to Microsoft. Whether we will see hardware support for this new codec is questionable because it's not at all clear whether it's clean in terms of IP and patents. With open source stuff, the one who implements something is sued, not the one who wrote stuff.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DMAND:
Serriously I dont see the need for Google to push WebM, H.264 is well supported, it's funny that google make a webM plugin for IE9 and MS make a H.264 plugin for chrome
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
native app on iphone is "missing" a lot of videos, many cant be played on mobile devices anymore. Also the copyrighted stuff or blocked in your country is getting worse. Its time for a good alternative to come up and all just switch away from youtube, unfortunately there is none and its a great service.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Only Andorid 2.3.2 (or 3) and above support WebM. Lower versions do not.

You can decode in software, but LOL on a mobile device that is kind of laughable. Say bye bye to your battery as this overworks your processor...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
don't blame youtube for these issues. blame coyrights, drm, and people that think nothing should ever be redistributed. youtube is following what the lawyers say they have to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
I understand why. Its just stupid it has never been like this but as of recently there are a ton of videos being blocked. Even though the rights to broadcast have been always there and now they are just gone. So yeah no wonder people blame youtube if the exact same vids could always be watched trough officials channels then all of a sudden not supported in your country.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Android 2.3.3 cannot add hardware support for a new codec if it's missing in the device SoC. Or can it?

I can't imagine hardware support for WebM appearing overnight unless it's the same thing as MPEG4 Part 10 (which is what MPEG-LA will be happy to sue the hell out of everyone over).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ wow

http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...-it-webm-support/&category=classic&postPage=1
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Wow what exactly? Is it true hardware support or software decoding?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It's probably software, but does it matter? Future SoCs may (most likely will) start supporting it in hardware because Google has the means to force feed it down consumers' throats. Once they finish transcoding all the YouTube content and switch to an HTML5 interface by default this can severely limit non-Android devices, especially if you don't want a device with Adobe Flash, since the site will stream WebM to your device.

Unless they keep H.264 versions as well, in which case I don't care.

But I don't like the way they are trying to force feed an inferior media codec down everyone's throats...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
You answered your question yourself a few posts ago:

I'm not at all sure about it. Judging by how they are treating their own Android customers, the majority of whom aren't using 2.3.whatever with WebM support, they just don't give a damn. It'll be up to OEMs and chip makers. And those guys may get in trouble with WebM because of possible lawsuits, not Google. So it'll most probably end with software decoding as supplied by Google (although even that won't save them because Google doesn't protect their OEMs in patent and other IP issues).

But that's just my guess.

Exactly. I find this uber annoying. But not at all surprising.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
read the article, you'll understand the wow. Google sux
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I meant does it matter in the grand scheme of things. Android phone users have gotten so used to poor battery life that most of them don't care. They'll just not use their phone for a couple days to post standby times on a forum and be happy.

What the underlying "what's it matter" meant (quite vaguely, I admit) what... Does it matter if it's software or hardware? Google's point is to promote their own codec by using their YouTube muscle, and they're going to make sure their own Browsers and Mobile platform are there first, which could potentially give consumers a reason to pick an Android phone over a competitor's...

So, does it matter if it's software or hardware if they are still accomplishing their goals (pushing WebM via YouTube down our throats and making sure Android is the first mobile OS to support it)?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hades32:
Can you give a URL of a video that is not available? I think it's a bug in the software. YouTube is NOT going to encode videos in WebM exclusively. All videos in every resolution should be available in H264 and WebM.

This might change as soon as Adobe release a WebM capable Flash Player (10.4 maybe)...
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I can't give you a URL, but as of two days ago, my colleagues with DHD couldn't view a single newly uploaded HD video on YouTube with the built in client.

This may be because of a different problem though, that WebM is at fault is just my guess.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
YouTube is encoding all new videos in WebM, and transcoding a lot of others. I think most HD videos are being encoded to WebM.

Who are are you to say what they should be available as? You don't own YouTube, Google does...
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
I think he meant they should be, as in "if you check, you should find that they are encoded as both" not that he was stating what policies Google should be using. Whether he is right concerning the availability of both formats, I can't say.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kapanak:
I have just confirmed this further with many more recent HD updates (from 25th of April and onwards), as well as a couple of my own videos uploaded.

The 720p and 1080p versions ARE being encoded in WebM, while the rest of the formats are still in their older forms...
[Windows Phone 7 General] yeahyeahyeah1981:
Leave it up to google to fragment the hell out of something.......

Here is what Ive noticed with youtube as of late...

"Vevo" videos(music videos by signed artists that are sponsored or something by Vevo) do not show up when searched for on my ipod touch or my girlfriend's iphone<<<< This is stupid and is recent. Maybe because of the no ads thing on ipod's or iphone...I dont really know. They do however work with fastcode's Supertube app which is great. I dont know how long this will last with Supertube but Im hoping it doesnt change. Somehow fastcode is able to write a workaround with their code I guess. Again I dont know. All the while Microsoft is having some sort of issue with getting a proper youtube app out there for some other dumb reason probably to blame on Google. However Microsoft does allow Supertube to break rules by allowing the download feature to keep going. Again this is weird.

Now Youtube is encoding all hd videos in some new format "WebM" which Im certain will further complicate things on the developer side of things. This is just confusing.

Im not saying Google should allow people to just use their service for free or without any restrictions but I do not like the fact that Google sucks everyone in by leaving everything open at the beginning and then closes it up once they establish dominance in the market subsequently leaving people stranded and with no other choices.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerminusEst:
Pretty straightforward there. Have been running fresh evo and cm7 since j got my phone. This is my first attempt to flash back to a sense rom. My SD card disappears whenever I flash to one of the new gingersense roms. It shows up fine when I flash any other rom aswell.

Any suggestions that don't inviolve going into sdk with a computer? I don't really have access to a comp right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerminusEst:
Is this a totally rare problem or something that's been answered?

I looked through and couldn't discussions on it to see if perhaps it was a known issue. It seems to have to do with flashing to any sense ROM. Not positive if it also has to do with coming from CM 7.

Gonna try bouncing around from a few other roms and see if anything works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerminusEst:
The exact message I'm getting when I boot up is "SD Card unexpectedly removed."

If I reboot into recovery, the SD card is there. If I flash to a non sense based rom, no problems. I've tried manually mounting the SD card from recovery and no help.

HTC Sync also doesn't recognize that I have an SD card once I try and use it.

I really want to give some of these new roms a spin (especially with how snappy they are and how buggy and glitchy CM7 has been) but I can't until I can use an SD.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerminusEst:
Whoops . . .it seemed like things were working (SD card registered in MikFroyo and then was, once again, unexpectedly removed) but then it went out again.

Could this have something to do with an of the zipalign/move to SD function or apps?

Basically, I just can't flash to any sense rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samzebian:
my sd card works fine, although the rom is kinda on the slower side for me, but I guess I have to make sacrifices for sense 2.0..... Ahh CM7 here I come! (lol we'll see)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerminusEst:
I can't flash to anything sense now . . . I'm tired of messing with cm7 and just want something snappy and stable. cm7 is stable in spurts but with heavy use, issues always seem to crop up - I love CM and it's options but right now it still feels very much work in progress.

I just want something that's running gingerbread and is smooth. I really enjoy the new Evo and Sense ports out right now but not having an SD card is obviously not an option.

Does anyone maybe just have some good advice on where to ask about this?

However, I've never had an issue with Pulse on any ROM/combo I've tried.

Have you tried to un-install and re-install it?

EDIT:

I was wrong. Pulse IS giving me the same error. I don't always connect Pulse to my G-Reader account. I assumed since Pulse working on my other feeds, that it was working with G-Reader. It wasn't.

I tried changing the time settings from 'Auto' to 'Manual' and that didn't seem to help...

Will update if I find anything that fixes this.

[General Questions and Answers] tyguy829:
I guess I wasn't clear enough. I just used shut down as an example, which would be flawed by a simple battery removal. What I'm actually going for, is to make the popup menu (the one with shut down, airplane mode, silent) not pop up unless the phone is unlocked. I don't want some random person to be able to pick up my phone and put it in airplane mode or silent mode. I know that it is possible, because there is actually a toggle for it in the settings of the miui rom.

Apple trumps Android???? HaHaHa

Never has, and with regard to this thread and the desire for a password protected power button," now (2012) especially.

***HTC EVO 4G LTE***

Can't remove battery... and possibly others?

I believe this app would have to restrict access to the menu that pops up to shut down, as well as override the ten second reboot feature of the EVO LTE.

Needless to say, I have searched a little first for it in the EVO LTE forum among others, but there seems to be a reason to revive this thread now!

[General Questions and Answers] tyguy829:
Hmm...

I know I started this thread a WHILE ago...but especially since a lot of the newer phones have non-removable batteries, this seems like a must. What about some way to disable the popup that appears when longpressing the power button (with airplane mode and stuff on it) from the lockscreen. So, you would only be able to access this after unlocking the phone. This is actually been baked into the MIUI Rom, and I'm wondering why others haven't adopted it. Does anyone know if this feature could be ported? It doesn't seem like it would be that hard.

AGREE 110%

This is a HUGE flaw in the smartphone world. I'm glad my Nexus 4 has no removable battery and I feel all phones from now on should follow. Why make it easier for the thieves? I've tried to find an app or something out their with no luck. I messaged Lookout Mobile Security about this BIG issue and hopefully you guys can request it as well here https://www.lookout.com/help. Just click on Send a Request and then just sign in. Hopefully they can implement this vital feature in their security app. If theirs any smart people out their who can make this feature on their own I applaud you. Your phone will let you know where its at even if its off using Lookout online, but without out the phone screaming (a feature within Lookout that makes your phone emit a really loud sound) it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Either click on the link and let them know you want this feature or create one yourself. It just makes security apps on ANY phone totally useless without this feature.

[General Questions and Answers] KylarBStern:
It would be amazing but impossible.

Like with most electronics, smartphone be it Android (Moto. Sams. etc. ) or iOS (Iphone) you just need to hold the power button and volume up/down for a certain amount of time before the phone powers down - ergo even with an app like that which I have it is still possible to power the device down and get into the bootloader which makes it almost impossible to protect your phone.

Let's say some people don't know about this feature there you go you've got some time to gps track your phone with cerberus avg or whatever, though a professional thief would power off the device immediately or before you manage to get to a computer and track it.

Sorry it's still wort installing an app as every second counts.
