[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
hey I'm from the US, any chance I can get this bbc iplayer thing working?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0kes:
Nope ...

It knows your location from your IP Address. So unless you're on a UK IP, it won't work. You can go via a UK proxy server on a PC to cheat (instructions here http://www.anonymous-proxies.org/2009/02/using-iplayer-abroad-viewing-bbc-via.html) but I don't know if a similar thing is possible from Android.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] David Horn:
Don't believe it is. Hang fire until the paid version of iPlayer is released later this year - don't forget that us Brits pay nearly $240/year for the BBC, which is why it's geographically limited.

Though as one who travels abroad on a regular basis, there are ways around this. :-)

That's what pi**es me off about the Beeb. I'm a Brit, have lived abroad for 13 years, still own a house in London which I rent out and buy the TV licence every year for. Yet the Luddites at Shepherd's Bush still think I and countless others don't deserve iplayer.

Hi guys,

I've just flashed my HD2 with the last NexusGingerbread 2.3.4 NAND Android ROM. I thunk I'll have 578Mo of internal memory after that... but when I go to Memory > Avalaible memory, it shows 173 free Mo.

Hello,

I have been trying to add back some feed icons manually in the news reader for some feeds, cause they do not provide the icons in the RSS.

I tried putting the appropriate files at /sdcard/.htcnews/feed_icon/[feed_id]_icon.png. I am sure the feed_id is correct, but it is not working.

So, I looked into /data/data/com.htc.newsreader/databases/newsreader.db to see if there's any clue. But I cannot find anything about my subscriptions there.

I hope that someone can help me out on this. Thanks a lot. :-)

Hey Guys, I was trying to flash into another kernel when the process on odin3 stopped at the reset part for a minute and it said removed an everything and was stuck in download mode on my captivate with no progress, so i took out the battery and put it back in then when i booted after the at&t logo it gave out a TV tracking looking thing and did a endless boot. The 3 button combo for download mode or recovery mode does not work I am not sure on what to do
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
ok slow down i had to read that 10 times, what is tv tracking thing...

what were you flashing? what rom were you?

you dont flash "into" kernels, download mode is 2 buttons, 3 button combo is recovery,

take out battery

put usb from phone to pc

hold both volume buttons

put battery back in

flash back to stock.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
No idea what happened here, but my partner's myTouch Slide is eating the hell out of its battery.

Two days ago I updated the phone from CM7 nightly #41 to CM7.0.3 Stable. The day I performed the update, she noticed her phone started complaining about low battery levels. This was only after about seven hours off the charger, with extremely light use.

A quick look at the Battery usage menu showed Display at the very top with 80% of usage... but it had only been on for a whopping seventeen minutes. The phone was sitting idle almost the entire day.

I have tried everything possible--full wipes, installing several different ROMs, restoring to complete stock--the display continues to drain the living hell out of the battery. I know screens take a lot of power, but this is ridiculous. Before this started happening, her phone could easily go two days before needing to be charged.

I'm starting to think the problem is hardware-related and there's some damage to the phone. It's had some minor water damage in the past--a partially-cracked window allowed some rain to get on it, enough to cause the phone to shut down and refuse to turn back on until after a night in a bowl of rice. She isn't exactly gentle with her phone... (if we're forced to buy a new one, I will make her be gentler... lol)

Any ideas? Anyone else have this problem?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
Update: It appears as if the phone isn't going to sleep. It was taken off the charger an hour ago and has been in a pocket with the screen off for the whole time, and the battery usage screen is showing the phone was awake the entire time.

I had similar problems in the past with a previously owned G1 and later with an EVO 4G. I'm not sure exactly what caused it but what fixed it for me was flashing a different kernel. Although I wouldn't sudgest you do this it might turn out a bit problematic.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synaesthetic:
I tried flashing a different kernel and the problem wasn't resolved. Unfortunately it looks as if the problem is hardware-related and the phone needed to be replaced.

With windows phone 7, gone are the days of active sync and its brought windows handsets closer to other mainstream handsets...

zune syncs music, videos, pictures, podcasts... But there's no more syncing outlook contacts and calender... For that, you'll need to export from outlook and import to gmail account... That's what I did and it works great...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
That´s more a personal/individual question.

If you are into personalizing, tweaking, modding and lots of apps, Android is definitely a better choice.

If you add what the previous poster mentioned, WP7 is maybe even less interesting for you.

But, at the end of the day, why don´t you try yourself? Flashes are quickly done with HD2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] T-Macgnolia:
If you decide to flash Android remember to get a SD formatting software that can remove the RAID format that WP7 puts on your SD card when you boot it the first time. Or you will not be able to use your SD card.

Hi Fenrisulven_,

To me, the bug with the end call button is experienced because of the screen off feature on call... When you want to end call, you take it down from your ear, but it takes just a little more time for the touch interface to go on than the screen to switch on.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new in here but i'm always interested in software developments but I wasn't know anything about HTC or windows phone systems. I installed the new radio, magldr and last the new rom for windows phone 7. I started it witout problems and I tried to install programs in it with chevron.

But the main problem is, now, I cant turn on my phone. When I hit the power button nothing happens. Only when I connect it to a PC with usb or a charger it became on and after booting and the DFT screen comes out, its turning off with a light sound which is like a fuse clicking sound.

I've noticed the same results and thought it quite strange and I ran multiple tests. Its interesting also that the more tests you run the better the scores get until a certain amount of times, around 6 or so on mine, that the scores drop dramatically to a lower score than the first run score.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Benchmarks need to be repeatable for them to be reliable. Any outfit worth its salt does benchmarks on a freshly installed system with all unnecessary services disabled and nothing running etc.

Otherwise you're going to get some unseen interaction that will screw with your benchmark result.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpettigrew:
Am I being unrealistic in my expectations WRT playback of video on the Transformer? (NB After some of the replies below, I've added this comment to emphasise my point - I am NOT talking about high-def video here [e.g. 720p], just normal PAL or NTSC video taken from standard DVDs.)

I've ripped some DVDs using Handbrake on my Mac, using the default High Profile settings. The resulting h.264 files play smoothly and nicely on the Mac.

However, on the Transformer, the playback is juddery.

These are standard-resolution DVD rips, from TV shows and movies.

I wouldn't have been surprised for HD content to be a bit dodgy, but I was surprised not to be able to play SD content smoothly.

Has anyone else got good video playback (i.e. do I have a dodgy tablet) or is the Transformer with its Tegra 2 really not up to playing full-screen SD video?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
Don't use high profile. Search before you post - there is many threads about video issues of Tegra2 devices here and in Xoom forum.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FtL1776:
Why do people keep doing this, you have a Google tablet, Google this.

The Tegra 2 has a strange limitation, it doesn't play high profile. Before you make the mistake everyone else does, high profile is not a measure of quality, its the measure of compression. The bit rate is the quality.

Put it on high profile go to advanced, turn off 8x8 transform and Weighted P Frames and Subpixel ME to 6, use MP4.

Don't bother with other peoples presets, just use Moboplayer and you will be good with this setup.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpettigrew:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
there will be an update for this, also the browser player works fine for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpettigrew:
Settings that work

OK. After some testing with the first chapter of the Matrix DVD (because I have it to hand and it's got some nice pans and action to check the juddering against), I have found that the following settings in Handbrake give me acceptable performance on my Transformer with the h.264 codec. This is standard-definition video, please note, NOT high-def.

Note that sorting this out is far from as simple as "Google it" because there are a great many mutually contradictory sets of advice out there!

I took the Normal profile, then went to the Advanced tab and disabled CABAC and set the max B frames to 0.

This was the least dramatic setting that gave smooth playback on my Transformer. So I guess I should repeat my original question - given that my tablet appears to require much lower video settings than generally advised AFAICS in order to get smooth video playback (it's hard to measure this but this is my preception), should I worry? Or is this pretty much what everyone finds with the Transformer?

(The easiest way to get smooth video seems to be just to switch to the MPEG-4 codec and to increase the quality to about 3 to compensate. However, this gives files that are 40-50% larger, so I wanted to avoid that if possible.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sithlordninja:
I usually use Handbrake for everything but I was in a hurry so I tried Freemake Video Converter. I converted a few downloaded x264 MMA videos. It has built in settings for Android. I was surprised how well it looked.
