£500 - £399 = £101 more profit than O2 PAYG some Best Buy ??

jje
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
Bestbuy phones are unlocked and have no branding/ software.

I guess its better for people who dont want to flash their device.. because they dont know how to and dont want to risk it.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
True enough £100 for a stock rom .

My O2 PAYG branded boot screen only and unlocked .

Rather have the ton in my pocket soon as i have a backed up rom it will be customized anyway .

Ok I am using the Dophin Mini browser and I have set the User Agent to Desktop. When I go to bbc iplayer website, and go to view a show in high quality mode, it plays ok, but I am getting some stuttering.

When I go to play a HD video from the iplayer website, it is like watching a slide show its that slow.

So how come I can watch 1080p videos on youtube just fine, but I cant watch bbc iplayer videos.

How do you change the User Agent setting on the standard browser, as I believe that is GPU accelerated so I should be able to play bbc iplayer HD videos fine?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] touness69:
I don't think it is related to this site or the user agent that's not "gpu accelerated", the whole browser is hardware supported but there is some streaming players that are more optimized than others on the 3w. For now I only have a galaxy S and with the default browser I can watch 480p youtube videos just fine but I low quality videos stutter on some other sites like engadget, so I guess it's the same thing that happens to you.

And btw what's the point of watching 720p or 1080p videos on a 480p screen ?

Just stick with the resolution that you can watch it will be well enough I think. just my 2 cent
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dannyboyni:
But watching the HD videos I do notice a difference in quality, there is less artefacts. Anyway even playing in standard definition I am getting a bit of stuttering.

And surely all flash videos should perform the same, my theory is because BBC Iplayer is using higher bit rate would that cause problems?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Kailkti:
I think its all in your head, but anyways, opinions are opinions. Higher bitrate, maybe, who knows. And the issue for the UA string in the standard browser has been addressed atleast two times, so please search wisely next time. You change the UA string by typing in about:useragent
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dannyboyni:
Ok changed the user agent thank you.

And I have three options for watching iplayer. I can either watch in mobile mode, which significantly degrades video quality. I can watch it in desktop mode on low quality mode, and believe me there is a DIFFERENCE in quality between the two. Or I can watch it in HD mode, but I agree there wont be much difference between HD mode and low quality.

Still getting stuttering even in Low quality desktop mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bilal671:
Yeah I've noticed this as well. Kinda surprised as I thought the phone would be able to handle iplayer HD or even standard considering it plays 1080p youtube videos in browser without any trouble. The only one that works in the browser is the mobile version.

I also tried using the iplayer app my phone came installed with and medium and high quality are both a bit laggy whereas low quality is fine :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pixate:
Iplayer is just as juddery using the iplayer app

I would be very interested in finding a fix for this, as the iplayer app is unwatchable on this phone, stuttering constantly. Even when connected to fast wifi / adsl. The quality also seems to be heavy on artifacts.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] OldBloke:
Why aren't more people complaining?

I've just loaded the KF3 firmware and iPlayer still stutters. :confused:

I'm surprised there hasn't been more flak generated by this. Maybe it's because I'm in a small minority of SGS2 owners affected?

Are there owners out there with a completely smooth BBC iPlayer experience?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] the-bunker:
Not for me ;-<

It's really annoying - anyone know how to solve this ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatgame:
Hello,

I have just rooted my phone and am now attempting to get a custom recovery on it. After rooting, I downloaded rom manager and selected flash clockworkmod. A message came up and said it was successful, however when I try booting into recovery it goes to the stock android recovery. Any idea on what I am doing wrong would be helpful.

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Your problem is that you can't install CWM via ROM manager. The success message you saw was that it downloaded an update.zip file properly, nothing more. ROM Manger is also completely worthless for our phones.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rileychris:
Hey there. I could really use some help. I rooted my nook color 1.1 a while back with no issues and finally decided to take another step. I added Rom Manager from the market. Did a backup and then after adding cm 7.02 encore to my class 10 16gb card, I followed the Rom Mgr directions to attempt an upgrade. Device is now stuck.

I have tried putting the various .zip files listed in the "Dummies Guide to fixing My Nook Won't Boot."

I have tried using various sized (128 mb, 4gb, 8gb) Clockwork recovery Images (that I write to my card via winimage) along with nook-complete-restore-1.0.1.zip adn also then with repartition-boot-with-stock.zip that i copy and paste onto the card that has the recovery images.

All attempts seem to have the same result:

With the uSD card out: I get "Touch the Future of Reading" then "android_" then the android robot splash screen where it hangs.

With the card in it just sits at a black screen.

I ahve also tried connecting with adb. My nook shows up as a usb device but i can't get a serial number from "Adb devices."

Any idea on how to get this back to something usable?

I really appreciate any help.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
You need to boot with your recovery card out otherwise you will just keep rebooting to recovery. Also how long did you wait at the android splash screen? First boot can take a while as the Nook is building cache/dalvik. I believe mine took nearly 10 minutes to boot the first time. Have you tried the 8 failed boot reset yet?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rileychris:
I think i had done well more than 8 without seeing anything happen, but maybe not. This time i tried holding the power, the n, and the volume+, buttons and doing that twice in a row all of a sudden brought me into the recovery menu.

All is well now.

Like the title suggests, this is the serious thread of off topic.

These days there were a lot of complaints from Mods and admins that off topic is becoming crap.

Now let's show them that we can do something serious in here.

In this thread you may talk about anything, as long as it is serious enough and respects the forum rules.

So who's first?

Well... point is, I came in not long before PDL left (the other time) and between then and now, we've had some serious gaffes. So, we do kinda deserve it.

And of course, the PM thing (which I didn't get) is pretty bad, simply because the mods now think we are a nuisance, instead of just a bunch of peeps gathering together and having fun and never going on topic.

In pain and need serious opinions

I have a serious question:

How the hell can i make my neck feel better?

Everytime i turn it to the left i fell like someone is squeezing the muscle in it really really hard and makes me cringe in pain! :(

Ive Tried;

1. Ice Pack (which only made it worse) :(

2. Hot shower on it: helped for 2 min

3. Hot towel (Helped 2 min)

4. 800mg ubprofen (didnt do crap)

5. Weird push the pressure excercise i found on google (Didnt do jack)

Any suggestions would be appreciative.

Seriously in pain :(
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
Ok. Try taking a muscle relaxer (like doans pills) also continue with the hot towels and ibuprofen will only help after you also take the muscle relaxers...Don't mix however

Take muscle relaxer

Continue Hot Towel

If needed take ibuprofen only 12 hours after muscle relaxers DON'T MIX IBUPROFEN AND MUSCLE RELAXERS!!

There is nothing outside of OT! :) ;) :p :D

You should be able to find them near the pain medicine

(or ask the pharmacist)

I wouldn't drink with them (or very little) they can make you very tired. They are not that expensive depending on where you are I would say less than ten dollars (us dollars) They are called (brand name) Doan's. Hope this helps you.

There is nothing outside of OT! :) ;) :p :D

Well thanks for the tip I might get some if that tomorrow if its still in pain, im more relaxed now after 2 beer margaritas :)

[Off-topic] Kingdomfalls:
Also, there is topical ( on the skin) muscle relaxants that do a lot to help muscle pain. I can't think of a brand name at the moment, but these often work better than the pill form for sharp pains, as you can relax the specific area.

Definitely don't try the pill form with alcohol, they really don't mix well.

Random question... is there a button on the dock that any of you can find that when you click on a link in the browser it makes a new tab out of that page? for exmple, on windows when you hold down the control key and click it makes a new tab. I tried this on the keyboard and it did not work. Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
I don't have my dock yet, but I'd try ctrl+T
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Naked Emo:
That makes a new tab, but thats not what i'm trying to do. I want to click on a link and make it turn into the new tab.

Example- when i am reading XDA forums and want to open a link someone posts but dont want to leave the forum, then on a windows computer i would hold CTRL and click the link.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
Ohhh sorry... Either way I'm very interested in the solution to this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssj4vegita2002:
Well, in regular android with touch controls you can long press on a link and then choose "open in new tab", so I guess that would work with the touchpad too. That's all I can think of though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunman:

I'm sure more 'desktop' like functionality will be added as more Gingerbread tablets get out there. It will not surprise me at all if other manufacturers make keyboard docks like Asus did.

Tablets will get more and more functional, more powerful and usable. Many people will eventually be able to replace laptops and desktops with them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
Yeah, I read that the ctrl c and v (copy paste) doesn't work either. It all depends on the OS and/or apps. I actually don't know of the ctrl key will do anything. Remember honeycomb wasn't meant for a keyboard and mouse. If this combo becomes popular we may see more functionality included.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
The control keys work in splashtop when controlling your computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Naked Emo:
I'm tempted to start a thread devoted to suggestions for updates for Asus to be aware of our ideas. Something like a key to enable a tab function seems like it would be easy to implement. Now that they have a majority of the major problems fixed (minus the whole screen lock issue), it seems like its time for the tweeks.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yhzhrm:
I am a "noob", but my experience with the TF is that the notification bar is not part of the viewing screen. I could be way off base here.

Using the Gallery app the notification bar remains, but the icons are dimmed (small dots), touching the area and they appear. . Using Moboplayer the notification bar icons remain bright.

Give it a try and you'll see what I mean

how can i get it working with cyanogen?

[Vega General] Logseman:
CyanogenMod does not bundle the Google-specific apps with their ROMs due to Google threatening them with lawsuits. Whoever told you the Market came with CM was wrong.

You need to flash a .zip file on Clockworkmod which has them.
[Vega General] C64c:
If Google threatened Cyanogen with Lawsuits, how come there not taking action against the other Developers that have given us these other Custom ROMs with Android Market bundled?

Probably because of the backlash which ensued after said threats.

Seriously, lol...the Captivate development forums have some of the funniest, craziest, weirdest, and completely irrelevant thread titles for their Rom releases:D:D

The devs have a very good time I know, taking shots at each other, all in good competitive fun though.

you see everything from commercialized slogans like "bringing you in your phone together like never before!"

to off the wall phrases like "I'll kill you in your sleep" (wtf?,lol)

xda should have like a community judged and voted crown holder event at the end of each month for categories like best rom names or best release phrases. Or funniest thread titles or something, :cool:

For every device forum in xda, not for any prizes or anything, just all in good favor thats all.

I'm on the fence if that would be a good idea or a bad idea.

People who don't agree will complain and will probably cause flaming on the thread. Beside, people will more likely vote for their personnal favorite ROM and not the tagline.
