[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dengxia:
Flyer has HTC Watch, movie rental/purchase/streaming service.

Apparently, you can watch the purchased movie in up to 5 HTC devices.

Anybody know any details how this service is supposed to work?

Do I need storage space in the device or is the content always stored in the network (apart maybe some cache segment for the next 30 sec in the device itself)?

How long is the purchase valid, i.e. if I buy movie now, does it stay with me forever, or just a few weeks?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crackeyes:
When you purchase a movie it downloads to the internal memory and it is yours as for renting the movie not to sure for how long you have access. It does have drm on the movies also

Sent from my HTC
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dengxia:
thanks..

Is it possible to transfer the movie to another (HTC) device ?

If my friend has HTC device too, would be nice to be able to share it, or at least access it when I'm using some other device.

I was hoping to see something like copy or "send to friend" feature, but perhaps that's too much to ask..Otoh, I bought the movie already, so I should be able to do it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] crackeyes:
I am not sure about being able to play on other devicea. I the only share options in found was a social media link. The as for renting after you purchase the rent your have 30 days to start watching and then 24 hours to watch it

I if you you have another device that has watch on it you should have access to any thing you have bought an play on that device
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] K-Mile:
I can only seem to watch trailers on the HTC Watch service. I have signed up to the service (remember: its in the 'accounts & sync' settings, it took me a while to find it!) but the account won't sync.

I also did not receive a sign-up email, and I can't find a website or app where I can log in with the credentials I signed up with.

Am I missing the point entirely? Feeling kinda stupid :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ispartacus75:
Recorded a video last night and uploaded it to Youtube but Im not impressed with the quality.

Checking the settings its set to 640x480 (VGA) but the video is awfully blocky. I was under the impression that VGA recording on the TP2 was rather good.

Am I expecting too much from the device or is there something amiss here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ispartacus75:
Does noone have any input on this? Is the linked video what I should expect from TP2 video footage?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
What settings did you use?

I use Resolution L (320x240) and Capture Format MPEG4

Comes out fine for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ispartacus75:
Capture Format: MPEG4

Resolution: VGA (640x480)

Its blocky both on the Youtube conversion and on the phone itself.

Could it simply be a result of poor recording venue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
If there is low light this will make a difference. But test and see. Try the slightly lower resolution (because then it can cope with better compression and may be less blocky). Would be interested if anyone else has different settings. Cheers.

Hi fellas, long time no see!

So, first of all, yes, I've used the search, but what I've found is threads about wet phones, mine I believe is already dry.

Situation: I'm in the club, glass of absolut and redbull in my hand, phone in my jeans pocket, extra glass of absolut w/redbull on the bar next to me. Fat drunk aproaches the bar and tips my glass with his elbow, all my drink spilled over my clothes. After a brief discussion I realized the guy was too drunk and was a worthless douche so I let it go. I reach for my phone and realize my pocket is soaked wet, when I take it out, phone is out, red light dim. So I turn it off, take it apart and forget about it til the next day. Next day, it began to turn on, but shut itslef off after a few secs, so I take it apart again (that is back cover, battery, SIM and sd, I dont have the screwdrivers to go further), cleaned what I could with alcohol, let it vent in front of a fan for a few hours, then in a bowl of rice for 2 days, no good.

So I got an extra phone and let it sit for more than a month. The other day I decided to give it another try and voila! it worked, had to be dry by now! used it for a day, left it charging, when I came back, it was off again, unresponsive. I have an extra battery, so I got one of those universal battery chargers, because I though the problem could be the phone not charging the battery. It was (even when the light turns on red and it says charging and all). So, first weird thing, light turns on red, screen says charging, but USB wont wont actually charge the battery if it is somewhere below.. 70% maybe, it does charge if it is lets say about 80% or above.

I used it like this for a week or so, and now, when I turn it on, after the bootscreen and the initial loop, the phone now powers itself off (with the text "turning off" -or whatever it says- and vibrating and all), even with the battery full. Tried with both batteries full, plugged in the usb (the light is green when full, and will even charge), erased battery stats (recovery works fine) but the damn thing wont load android properly!

Any ideas what might be causing this? it should be dry by now (its been like 2 months already and I let it vent and used the rice method), it doesnt smell funny (you know, like burnt, like when sth short circuits).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinxie:
btw, also tried flashing the ROM again (i always have a couple in the sd just in case) and didn't work neither, does exactly the same.

i know it is a bit long to read but i wanted to give you the most insight i could. i know that it works! it did a couple days ago, but something got screwed with the startup and i dont know what it is!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilchicano:
i see that u tried flashing the ROM again, but just to be sure u did do a super wipe correct?

this is very strange though, and yeah it should be dried by now.

[Wildfire General] ruben302:
Hi all!

I recently bought a HTC Wildfire, and I want to put a custom rom on it, I know how it works, but what is the best rom around? I need a fast rom that doesnt drain my battery life like sense does. It also needs to be steady, I really don't like bugs/crashes.

thanks in advance,

Ruben302
[Wildfire General] deezykhara:
ive recently just rooted and cyanogenmod7 is working perfectly for me, much quicker than sense and also easier on the battery as well and also has options to overclock within the rom
[Wildfire General] banny7000:
Ive tried wildpuzzle and cyanogenmod 7.03 and one of the latest nightlys too,its a choice they are both great I can't make my mind up which to stick with Coz I do love sense Widgets but cyanogenmod is the latest and greatest,but I have gone back to wildpuzzle again coz I miss senses style and it does look better in my opinion.
[Wildfire General] ccdreadcc:
guys so cm7 is better??

does it have dsp and all ?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes it does. As for if it is better - ROM choice is a personal thing, but, I am using CM7 and am personally very happy with it.

[Desire General] penguin-power:
Hi everyone.

I just thought id share a solution, maybe it helps someone. I had many issues getting everything to work.

a.) Make a nandroid / clockworkmod backup first!!!!

b.) Do a complete wipe. No way around this. Why? The xml file holding the app list, wont know that the apps are gone and leave spaces or hex-code where the app name used to be. If you wipe, that list is not yet created, so apps that you remove wont have any menu entries.

I tested this, Im sure about this. Could do a you tube vid to show if i really have to, but i prefer not to, im a lazy bugger.

-----

I also had big issues trying to get adb to work or even connect. My problem was the same as many, cant get window 7 to connect. Following is the 99.9999% sure way to get the driver working.

My second issue was adb, and doing everything by "shell". I am happy to use shell, but a "explore-like interface" would be nice.

My third and final "issue" was removing all the apk's that i didnt use. I did this before and had a phone with some empty menu items, especially in the add-widgets menu. Explain: I use mail.apk, but I never use the mailwidget, or coin-flip, or call-mom, or those type of widgets.

So 3 problems:

1.) Install adb drivers with 99.9999% chance of success.

2.) Gui for adb

3.) Remove unwanted apk's, with out causing issues, like empty spaces where a menu item was before you removed it.

Here is how to solve the above in 10min, if that long. (I also assume you have android-sdk installed.)

1.) Download and install PdaNet. Downloads page: http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php

- As part of the install process, the installer installs the adb drivers for you.

- After install, you can uninstall it again from your pc and phone, the drivers will remain.

- Enable debugging on phone, plug your phone into usb and restart into recovery - Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7

- Your phone should be connected. (Check device manager)

- VERY IMPORTANT: While in recovery, scroll down and select "mounts and storage", and then "mount /system"

2.) Download QtADB (Install not necessary, just unzip and run the exe file "QtADB.exe")

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/QtADB.shtml

- If you ran "QtADB.exe", you should see a gui.

3.) Remove apps:

- Click "Files", on left, at the top in the GUI.

- There are 2 panels; left and right. On the right is your phone, look for the "system" folder - double-click it.

- In the system folder, double-click "app". This is where the apps live. Delete what you dont need. Now if the phone boot the first time, it wont miss those apps you deleted.

- There are a few more apps you could remove, they live in the "/data/apps" folder. If you click on data folder in the above mentioned gui, it would appear empty. You need to mount it on you phone the same way you mounted "/system" in clockworkmod.

wrong forum :(
[Xoom General] foldog22:
Hey All, I looked for my answer elsewhere on this board but couldn't find the answer.

I am trying to set my Xoom up at work with a Bluetooth Keyboard/Mouse and output the screen to my monitor. To simulate my current work environment. The monitor I have only has VGA or DVI inputs. The cable I have is Micro HDMI - HDMI. So I bought an HDMI - DVI converter. When I output to the monitor, the monitor resolution will not match the Xoom so I don't get the entire screen. I have to scroll up or down to get the entire screen. I verified that the monitor supports 1280 x 800 but for some reason when I plug the Xoom in it goes to 1280 x 720 (720P?). I am guessing somehow I need the monitor to be 1280x800 so it matches the Xoom? I don't see a manual configuration on the monitor to change that. It seems to auto-ajust depending on what is plugged in. So I guess my question is; Is the issue with the HDMI-DVI converter or is the issue the monitor? This is very problematic because I need to Remote Desktop into servers and/or workstations as a proof of concept.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
The Xoom will chop off the bottom 80 pixels to get 1280x720 (native 720p resolution)
[Xoom General] foldog22:
Yeah, I understand that (I assume the bottom 80 pixels are the task bar and such for android). That isn't quiet the issue. I think it is something to do with Pocketcloud application that I am using to RDP. When I set my PC resolution to 1280 x 720 and VNC into my machine the resolution is just fine (setting Pocketcloud to "Automatic Resolution". Doing the same for RDP it defaults to 1280x756 for some reason).
[Xoom General] Williamsmith123:
i want to say that 1280*800 and 1280*720 is similar with our eyes. so i think u don't need to care about such a litte gap.

I've attached a logcat of the whole boot process, but I'm not sure what clues I should look for as to how I should try to fix anything.

Yes, I can get fastboot, and yes, my PC would recognize it.

I can also easily get to CWM. Flashing back an old Nandroid would not be a problem, but it wouldn't really "solve" the problem.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fraspas:
Depdends what you're looking for. Evo 3d feels like a gimmick to me. Sure 3d screens seem pretty cool but seriously, is it thaaaat cool? I'm sure the novelty will wear off in a month or two. Not to mention how much battery it'll drain. But of course, you can turn off the 3d. Now...what's the point of a 3d phone if you're going to leave it off most of the time? However, the dual processor is pretty tempting.

Nexus s is pretty great in it's own standards. It's quick and snappy, I've been using it for a week now and it didn't once hiccup on me. It's also really thin and slightly smaller than the evo making it feel better in the palm. Not a bad phone at all.

Has there been any announcement on the ability to install apps on the external media on the TF? It seems strange that this is possible for Android 2.2, but not 3.0.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
I think this is mostly due to the fluid state of the partitions of the operating system in 3.0 On 2.x the /system and /data are set sizes so to free up some some space for more apps. On 3.x if more space is needed, it alloactes more space so app2sd is not needed

worthless microsd

i bought the 16gb version and a 32gb microsd card thinking it would be a cheaper way to have more storage. Instead it seems the external storage doesn't serve much of a purpose leaving me a little disappointed. I assumed Android was already supporting multiple storage locations but I guess that was removed in 3.0. Ideally I would love to be able to use Gallery to sync my picasa albums but if I did that I would end up with no free space on the main drive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordgodgeneral:
Gallery and most apps that came installed on the transformer have no problem scanning the microsd. Also more and more apps are letting you manually choose where you can have the information located (moboplayer, titanium backup). I hooked up a 1tb external drive with 600 Gb of music and movies and had no problem playing any of them. But boy did that suck the battery down quick.

I guess it depends on what your trying to do, if nothing else send an email to the developer and ask them if they could add support for additional locations
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spuniun:
I know some custom ROMs for other tablets have offered optional methods for changing the mount points of internal and external storage. For example, setting the external card to mount at /sdcard and leaving internal storage for /Removable/microSD. I asked about this in dev forum last week but no takers.

sent from a device using an app
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
With 3.0 google finally got smart. Apps are installed to your internal memory the same as everything else. So you have 16/32GB for apps and everything else, and then you have your SD card in addition to that.

So having all that internal memory makes Apps2SD useless.

You'll see froyo apps2sd in ice cream sandwich most likely for older devices most likely, but in honeycomb it's gone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stcardinal:
Wait what? So does this mean you cannot install apps you download from the market on the microsd?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
No you cannot - though why would you need to? Unlike earlier versions of Android, you don't have a fixed partition size to install apps to, so A2SD is largely pointless (in my opinion anyway - your mileage may vary!).

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjal09:
With Gallery my issue is that I have all my photos online with Picasa, so I take advantage of the 'Offline' option to auto download some of my photos. The problem is I have no control over where these offline folders are stored, and it would be impossible for me to have all my photos available offline on the internal storage.

I am surprised at the lack of control over where I can store stuff, but I guess its better than not even having the option for external storage like IOS devices. Currently though it appears that I purchased a MicroSD card for nothing as it doesn't fit my needs.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
Worst case scenario: if you have root, you could replace the directory Gallery uses for the Offline photos with a symlink to a directory on the (micro)SD Card. You might need to put a ".nomedia" file in that directory (to keep the media scanner from indexing those files and thinking they should /also/ be in the gallery), but it'll work long as you leave the sdcard in whenever Gallery is open.
