[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lorewin:
It transcodes on the fly, with the best quality setting being 5mbps - which plays perfectly smoothly on the Transformer, and looks very, very good indeed.

For reference, typical good quality 720p MKV files are normally encoded at 3mps or less.

I can only assume you haven't actually tried Plex, or haven't changed the streaming setting from the default of very low bandwidth. I wouldn't like your comment to dissuade people with the server setup to handle it from trying Plex - it's a great solution if you want high quality streaming on your local network and have a decent box to run it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Nope, I bought the android app and set up the server on my home PC.

I found the server to be horribly unreliable (The python would choke at random point scanning my media, looks like poor exception handling on the part of the devs) and when it did work the results were muddy and had notable banding/artifacts even with the bitrate at max.

Which is to be expected, as quality h.264 encoding it very difficult to do real-time. But it's _far_ from playing "HD" content, even super-quick single pass re-encodes look better than what plex creates.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd419:
Give subsonic a try. www.subsonic.org It does mainly music streaming but it also has an on the fly transoding engine for video. It will stream them to you as flash. The server is pretty easy to set up only thing is there is a liscence fee for streaming video from the server after 30days but I think its only 15 bux definitely worth it. The android app is free and really good. I also used the web interface from my laptop while I'm at work to listen to music for the past few months (before I got the TF). The quality is good in my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malch:
This has been the exact opposite of my experience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mb2k:
+1 for Subsonic. I mainly use it for music, but am now using the video transcoder function. I'd like to see the app updated to take advantage of tablets but for the cost, IMHO, it's doing now what Google Music is about to offer. Full access to every song I own, the ability to download locally, and being that I run from a whs server with duplication, I don't have to worry about losing anything. Course I gotta run my whs 24x7 but I do anyway.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eggroll822:
does plex support subtitles? I was looking at VLC Direct, but I guess that's not transcoding as much as streaming.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingKuba13:
When I first got it, the volume button would wake up the phone. A few days later it stopped doing it. Maybe I changed some settings but I've been looking thru them all and can't find it.

Was this a bug? I know most people need apps to be able to do that from what I read.

It was so much nicer than pressing the power button. *sigh*
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbush3:
I like waking up the phone with the volume buttons as well. I use a program known as widgetsoid 2.x, you can download it from the market, that lets you unlock the screen - meaning that you can wake the phone with the power button or volume rockers and won't need to slide to unlock it either.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathKoil:
WidgetLocker allows you to wake up the screen, and thus unlock the phone, from the volume keys as well.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingKuba13:
So you can't do it without an app?

Must have been just a tease. lol

I was hoping there was something simple in the settings somewhere.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madquack:
Download No Lock, it allows you to use the volume rocker + power button to wake up the phone and gets rid of the lock screen for those of us that don't like it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
I use NoLock as well. Occasional Opera Mobile errors when waking the phone up, but overall NoLock works well...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingKuba13:
Thanks, tried no lock. Works pretty well. Few times it still locked but I can live with that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snoozemode:
Thanks, No Lock was much better than widget locker that i've been using. The slider in widget locker is so slow/laggy.

You can also download "lock screen" to be able to lock screen by touching an icon instead of the horrible power button.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saar73:
Same here. just moved from WL to NL :)

now, when im getting a call, i need to "slide to answer" and dont have the green\red icons.

someone know how to change it?

Atrix Wake Up On Volume Down Button

If you are using a custom ROM with cyanogen mod go on settings-cyanogen settings- input- and tick volume rocker wave.

this will allow you to wake your Atrix without using the annoying power button.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jerrsun:
Howdy folks,

First let me say that I am enjoying my new Dinc 2 tremendously. I got it over the weekend and have been porting over all my apps and playing around with it for the last few day. Screen is amazing, phone is snappy, and in general it is a great device. But.....

The problem I had was with the Micro SD card, every 2-3 hours the card would show unmounted and I would have to reboot the phone for the card to be detected again. After about the 5th time that this happened I got really annoyed and replaced the 16gb micro sd card with a 8gb card i had lying around (i knew this 8gb card was good so i wanted to test to see if the phone was busted or the original 16gb card was bad), but the same problem kept coming up. I then went and reformatted the 8gb card and the problem stopped. All day yesterday the phone worked fine with the newly formatted card. I went ahead and put back in the original 16gb card and formatted it as well this morning and left it in the phone. So far (knock on wood) the problem hasn't came back. So if anyone else has this problem, maybe this solution might help.

DINC2 dialing issue

My Inc2 adds 4 numbers before every contact number when I try to call out to one of them... I think it is a google voice issue but I never had the problem with my Droid. I checked all the settings in Google voice and can't seem to make it stop. It adds 0015 in front of every number. It even does it without the GVoice app installed. Anyone have advice about that?:confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] BackInAction:
I saw this posted over in Inc2 Phandroid forum. Let me see if I can find the thread...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SirTristan:
Inserting the 0015 is probably coming from the Assisted Dialing feature, which I believe is common on Global phones. I use it on my Touch Pro2 when traveling outside the US. I don't have the DInc2 (yet!), but the user manual on Verizon's website has the feature listed on pg 57.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jt0s0:
After turning off Assisted dialing the problem continues. I have read in some forms that the problem is in the gmail contacts list.. the way phone numbers are entered. I changed some number formats but it still adds 0015 in front. I can make calls only with gvoice... even though it adds the 0015, it will go through... If I dial a number that is not in my contacts list it will work fine. :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jt0s0:
Anyone know why HTC Android adds 4 numbers in front of contact numbers when dialing?

Hey I have an Inspire 4G that has been unlocked and I am using it on T-Mobile. I want to root and flash a new rom but I don't want to loose my unlock. SO my question is.... Will rooting and flashing a custom rom undo my unlock?

Heya,

Today I'm the proud owner of the Ideos x5!

But there is one thing, I've emailed huawei about it..

The wifi is acting verry strange, found this video on youtube (I have exactly the same issues!)

[YOUTUBE]ptg6cLdA9OU[/YOUTUBE]

If I look into settings and watchup the wifi connection it says "1mbps".

On my lg gt540, laptop, ps3 is verything fine.

Does someone have this problem to? Or have a fix?

Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wolfgr:
same problem here,by a small research i did i read that x5 wifi does not like wpa2 security but i didnt put it to the test.Mine keeps loosing conection even with full signal randomly.I hope for a fix ....

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m4rtijn:
@andreasha thanks for the hint, I have him only a few days so don't want to flash him yet! Only if i'm sure that it will solve the problems.

@wolfgr Tryed it without any security and it's still poor.. same as WPA/WPA2.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Try go to wifi settings then push menu button and go to advanced put wifi to always on or something like that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dshanah:
Switching WiFi to always on does not fix the drop-out problem. I frequently lose wifi on my X5 even with it always on, particularly when downloading several app updates and so forth. It's very frustrating, I have WPA2 on my router, don't know if that's related or not. I updated to the newer ROM on the Huawei site but that did not help. Apparently there's an even newer rom due to be released that contains WiFi tethering and some unspecified "WiFi stability" fixes, but no idea when that's going to be released unfortunately.

This is by far the worst issue I have with the X5, in fact if it's not fixed soon (I've had mine for about a six weeks now) I'm giving up on it and buying a Nexus S!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dshanah:
Hmm, I see what you mean. I assumed it was just the Ideos X5, but it does seem to be a common Android fault on several different handsets and several different Android versions. Nexus One, Nexus S, HTC Desire, (there's even threads about it on Xooms!), you name it there are similar reports from all over. Don't give up on the X5? This is all the more reason to give up on it (and Android) I'd say. How can Android pretend to be a serious contender if it can't provide reliable WiFi connections? WiFi is hardly a new technology!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m4rtijn:

Well of course the choice is yrs ;) wot I find exciting with the X5 is the development going on here from stockwell, genokolar and others who freely give their time and energy to exploit all they can from this awesome ph!!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Hi had my p1010 (wifi only) tab about 1 week (actually since saturday so only a few days)

Anyway on the first day after playing with it for a few hours I put it down for a bit and when I picked it up the screen wouldnt turn on. No buttons worked and it was as if it had no battery power. I pluged it in but nothing happened. Left it for a while and still nothing.

In the end I fixed it by holding a finger on the screen and holding the power button. The tab turned on and I still had installed programs but all settings had been lost and it looked as if it was its first boot. Also the home and search buttons no longer did anything apart from make the device vibrate. I had to do a factory reset to get the buttons working again.

And now it has happened again.

Does anyone know what is causing this? has it happened to you? Is my unit defective and should I get a replacement?

Thanks for your help

[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
make a backup using recovery it will work as for now i never had any probs so never required to restore my backup as far as application is concerned i make a backup using titanium backup-open titanium backup-click menu button on phone-select batch and backup all your external appl and games in one click. As far as your contacts is concerned i normally enter into contacts-select menu-import/export-select export to sd card .this will create a .vcf file in ur sd card.

So just copy the .vcf file and titanium backup file to your pc this way u will have all your contacts and appl in ur pc backup incase if u format ur card u can just copy back the backup to sd card again. and if u dont format your sd card then u just have all ur backup intact in your card which u can restore after flashing a new rom.

hope it helped you

Have anyone tried this yet? Planning to get one but is it really 1700mAh... about 20% more than original battery... should last throughout the day

Can't post the link but you can search for it in ebay....
[myTouch 4G Accessories] silentsnow31802:
Don't do it. Usually those off brand batteries are complete junk. Even if its cheap, its a waste of money.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tle034:
Thanks I was about to get one. I got the 3500maH for my old vibrant and it seemed not 3500 so I guess this one will be the same
[myTouch 4G Accessories] sundayhustler:
I haven't tried the 1700 mAh ones, but I do have 3 of the standard size ones that I got off Ebay for a few bucks each. I'd say they probably have 80-90% of the capacity of the stock battery. I think that's pretty good considering the price. If I needed an extra battery, I'd consider trying it out.

Get a standalone battery charger and always keep one in the charger, so that when your battery dies, you can just swap them out. That way you never have to plug your phone in with the micro usb cable and risk breaking the jack.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] em2drvr03:
i have the 1700 battery and i did notice a difference...i love my battery
[myTouch 4G Accessories] tle034:

I bought those for my first mt4g and you are right, the capacity was only about 80 or 90%. I sold them along with my first mt4g. I would not mind getting another pack but the problem is I'm using the tmobile prestige case the one with the kick stand. It's so hard to pry the case off to change the battery.

em2 very interesting find as aware that TB used 1400mAh battery but not same size as our MT4G. Far as stock size battery goes I am aware of the current Mugen Power 1650mAh being better than of that Seidio Innocell 1600mAh. The link you provided is 2x1700mAh for $35 which is still better than current MP1650mAh for $46. Do you have any information regarding the company that built the battery? I don't want to buy 2 as I just need 1 as I don't plan to take off my case to replace it. If you be kind enough to provide some testing for us folks we would be grateful or ill have to go with MP1650mAh as I am not big fan of Innocell.

[myTouch 4G Accessories] em2drvr03:
What kind of testing would u like?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] TmpUsr:
Well first of all I need detail regarding the battery itself as I want to check the company out. Which would determine the build quality and durability in long run. Far as the test goes stock 1400mAh vs TB 1700mAh I would like for you to first fully discharge it and recharge it so its calibrated. Then have blacklight 100% bright and CPU running highest that you can handle. Have wifi, life wallpaper, widgets on. Then pick a HD video and let it play till your battery runs out to 1% and shuts down. Make sure you record the data along with time for result. When you compare the duration of both B(1700mAh)-A(1400mAh) you will get the time elapsed. I know thats alot to ask but I really do want to put this test and compare it with MugenPower/Seidio Innocell, thanks.
