[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
I seriously can not believe no one is interested in finding out why we can not display all video/photo and audio files.

I tried this on my Tab and sure enough Allshare does display other video files not stored in the camera folder, so it begs the question why is it the SGSII does not allow you to display them?

If this is correct and again I fail to see it's accuracy that would mean you can not show a movie you have on your external_sd card via Allshare. That sounds utterly preposterous.

Either I am missing something so simple it is eluding me or there is a problem with Allshare's ability in searching for and displaying all supported file's.

I don't want this topic to die without first a fight but if no one replies it will fold away in the depth's of xda-devs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mujja:
The Allshare apps on my SGSII has no problems listing videos not inside DCIM.

I've installed the Allshare app on my HTPC (Win7). Using the app on teh SGSII I'm able to playback videos in folder /sdcard/Movies (that's the internal card, don't have an external card to test with)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Thanks for replying, appreciated.

Well I am pleased to hear you can display and play other video media, this is how it should be.

Now if I can get someone to test the external sd as well then I will know if I have a problem with my Allshare.

Meanwhile I will try copying a few video's to the internal sd/movies folder and see if Allshare can pick them up. If so then it may be that Allshare does not list files on the external sd.

Weird as the Tab does.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mujja:
Received my SD card today and moved the videos folder over from internal to external card. Allshare still shows the videos in the My Device tab > Videos view
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Can you provide an accurate naming and directory of exactly where on the external_sd card they are stored please.

Maybe it's because I have mine buried too deep in the card for Allshare to pick them up.

As in say ~ sdcard/external_sd/movies/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mujja:
/external_sd/Video/

In the Video folder I have mkvs and avi which I copied over.

Allshare could see them in KDD and now KE2 firmware. Didn't test with other firmwares.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
That worked a treat.... Thanks, sorted. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mujja:
What did you have to do, rename the Movies folder to Video?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
No... When I tried that it still didn't display anything.

However when I moved the Movies folder to the root it then listed the files.

So weird.... naming the folder to Video's in the root displays nothing

Having the folder name Movies not in the root displays nothing.

.. but having the folder name Movies in the root works.

Talk about confusing.....

My next issue is with Music.

Any music in a folder named Music either in the root on the external_sd or directly in sdcard/ does not display anything inside that folder.

Where do you have your music stored and under what name?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mujja:
Music is stored in /sdcard/Music/Artist/Album/track.mp3 and Allshare can see it all no problem.

I sync my music using WMP12 and it creates the Music folder and all subfolders. Works manually too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Weird..... that is where I stored my folder named Music but Allshare finds nothing.

I'll have a closer look later... Just about to go back into theatre for this mornings Ops.

EDITED:

Well... I found the time in the end and what a surprise it is...

If I place the music where you did in sdcard/music/ Allshare does not display it.

But.. if I place it in sdcard/media/ the music files are then picked up?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hachoo:
Just wondering if anyone has this emulating software on their Nexus S working? I'm attempting to run the 1.2.1 version from the website and all I get is a black screen. I heard it struggles to work with Cyanogen (I'm using NSCollab) but was interested if anyone uses this?

I'm interested in playing Monkey Island on there and have the game files, but I get nothing when opening the app.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Darkshado:
I had mine working with Sam'n'Max Hit the Road on CM 7.0.1 on an earlier flash. I haven't reinstalled it since though.

EDIT: I've reinstalled on CM 7.0.3 stable and both Sam'n'Max and Full Throttle work.

I do find the menu buttons and scrollbars a bit on the small side for a touchscreen interface, but nothing worse.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hachoo:
Thanks for the response. I could not get the stock apk working from the scummvm website. However someone in the forums posted an alternate apk (not sure what is different) and that works well.

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Zardos66:
This would be awesome. I could play I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream on my phone
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] matticala:
It works on openSoju 0.2.1 :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Darkshado:
Thought I'd add. This version of SCUMMVM badly needs some love from a programmer or two for UI improvements...

I tried installing and playing again and hit some snags very quickly: I can't right click with my fingers... (Or maybe I can, but there's not Android-specific documentation for SCUMMVM)

Maybe with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but I don't feel this is quite playable on the road yet.

Many UI elemants are pretty small for a touchscreen.

But otherwise the code seems stable and fast enough. Had a laugh watching the Sam'n'Max intro again after all these years.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nickolasemp:
Ok, as I don't know how to do this in linux (surely there's gotta be a way),

is anyone familiar with a technique to define only a set of IPs to be accessible from an apk?

What I specifically want is for an apk to have access to my home network (192.168.x.x) but not to the rest of the world...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flix123:
I was wondering, if someone with firmware 2.3.26 could extract the relevant system files for the videoplayer, so we could put the files into the 2.1.08 firmware.

I just downgraded from 2.3.26 to 2.1.08 because of the battery drain.

So, is that possible and could someone test this?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
This has been asked before and the answer was allways, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

One thing about the batteriedrain, do jou also have a wifi problem?

Since i switched OFF the energysaving feature ( no i switched on the not using the energysaver option ) the tablet is working ok and draines less.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flix123:
I didn't have a wifi problem, but the batterydrain was always the same, even when I switched the energysave option off.

But why the issue with the plug-in isn't possible? How Archos made it working in 2.3.26 without the plugin?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
1) Its deep in the system, its simply impossible to port that;)

2) What do you mean? I'm pretty sure Archos did this because no one buys the Plug-in:D:)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flix123:
1) OK, I thought it would be only a system file.:D

2) I mean, how Archos edited the firmware to do this. Archos has enabled MPEG2 and AC3 by default. I thought, we could do the same like Archos to port it into the firmware.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Ahhh:D

Then you have to ask sauron if they could do this in urukdroid;)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
As i don't see batterie drain, there has to be somethink on on your tablet that does this.

And in uruk 1.1 ac3 is working and i don't see a reason to go back.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flix123:
1) No, there isn't something. In other forums, there are lots of people saying the same. The 2.3.26 also charges only until 97%. The battery driver seems to be bad in the firmware.

And with 2.1.08, the battery life is perfect!:)

2) Sorry, but I don't want to use UrukDroid.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
You know how a forum works?

Those with problems come here ( or there ) and describe their problem or are going "me too".

Those without these Problems normally don't participate.

So even if there are 20 People here that are complaining about batteriedrain doesn't even mean that they are the mayority.

It might be that all of you are using some software ( Twitter, facebook, Skype ) that is allways connected and needs more batteries because there are more possibilities then in 2.1.

If you want to stay with 2.1.08 you have to live without ac3 or get the plugin.

Otherwise find that software that is responsible on your machine as i don't have any drain at all.

And why not Uruk?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Yeah,you're right;):)

That's what i allways say: Try Uruk:D
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flix123:
OK, I understand.

Then I've to live without the cinema plug-in.

I don't want to try Uruk, because I like the stable stock firmware.

But only a question to the 2.3.26 users: Do you've the problem, that the battery only charges to 97%, not to 100%? And the 100. % stays not so long as in 2.1.08?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdcykkk9:
Flix the latest firmware has a minor problem with battery . Its charges the battery to 100% and stops charging it . So when you charge you're tablet through the night when you wake up , if the tablet is not in deep sleep mode , you will see the battery to be around 95 to 97 % . If you charged your device for more than 12 hours the battery can be even 90% when you unplug it . This is what happening to my device . If I only charged it for 2 hours I see that battery is 100% .
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flix123:
Maybe it's different on different devices, but I had a ca. 30% more battery drain.

I tested the different firmwares with the same video under the same conditions, so my problem is proved.

And the battery charges only until 90-97%, even if I load it for only 2h.:(

I don't know, if you can read a bit german, but here is a thread from me, where much people say the same.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
Have you counted the number of people in that thread?

It's exactly 5, so that's not alot.

Never the less it is a Problem and as snooper said his problems where solved with the WLan switch.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] unxiguru88:
I am having an annoying issue with USB tethering, it works perfectly fine for a while but randomly disconnects. I have to go to settings and disable and enable it again. With the PdaNet app this does not happen, but for some reason the ping and speed of PdaNet is consistently slower than native USB tethering. I have noticed that this issue is also present in the devoid.franco ROM. Could it be a driver issue on my side? I have reinstalled the drivers on my Windows 7 PC, but still the issue remains. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] unxiguru88:
I noticed that this issue is very much present in other roms also. I am facing the exact same problem on openoptimus with latest franco kernel. Another thing I have found is that USB tethering stops working whenever I visit certain websites. Visiting www.letsbuy.com which is an Indian shopping website always makes USB tethering stop working. This does not happen when I am using PdaNET for tethering. Is anyone else having issues visiting certain websites? This issue is not present in Linux with native tethering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] djfoo000:
Greetings.

I've been intrigued by the true benefits of overclocking one's phone. It's hard to tell what the differences are by just looking at Quadrant scores. They don't translate very well to user experience.

Therefore I've made a video investigating the qualititive effects of OC-ing your Vision. This is shown in terms of webpage handling (scrolling and pinch zooming) and handling of a PlayStation 1 emulator.

[youtube]T7tyKICzNzo[/youtube]

My methodology is to scroll through PhoneDog.com first at 800MHz and then at 1.5GHz. PhoneDog.com was preloaded on the browser. It was chosen so that comparison can be made with phones that have been reviewed by PhoneDog.

Then I fired up FPSe playing Tekken 3. First was again at 800MHz and then followed by 1.5GHz. The FPS for the 2 clockspeeds were noted.

Then I tried an intermediate OC at 1.1GHz. Browser and emulator performance were noted as well.

The results were as expected and after overclocking the overall performance of the phone did increase by some margin.

This video is for people who have not tried rooting yet and is curious about the true difference before and after overclocking the phone.

Comments appreciated. I've made some other videos as well. Do check out my channel for more of my work.

Note: I'm as noob as everyone else. I just had a lot of time on my hands to be making this video. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raoufn1984:
I don't know why but I feel that some roms - sense roms in general - have better display colors than other roms

For example the grass live wallpaper looks a lot better on sense roms than ginger roms

Can anyone provide a solution for this please ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Capt.PP:
Take into the account of hardware, there are 2 different screens for HD2. The older and newer screen different by more dots. So whatever the older screen lack off the new screen improve over it. Another thing is software, each ROM do have different lcd density. The best bet is pick whatever ROM you like then install launcher over the original. like ADW launcher ex is really good, give you the polished iphone like apps and many other things.

let me tell you where i was. Okay so on my mytouch 4g i was running fauxs new 2.3 leak http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059379

And i saw that he put out a new kernal. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079754

And i wanted to give it a go. So followed all the steps... wipe cash and dalvik everthing was going perfect. Then it rebooted, and i got stuck in a bootloop. Witch not a big deal just go back to recovery.

Well I did and it went into Hboot it tries to load some image and fails. And then the only option it gives me is to update this radio_v2 thing.

So I think my recovery is broken. PLEASE HELP :(( what steps do i need to do now? I havent ever worked with adb or hboot engineering.

I used the visionary root method i had s off
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnote74:
If your computer has an SD reader use a micro SD adapter to delete the pdi15.img from the root of your card. Then you will be able to then boot back into recovery and flash the rom or new kernel again. I hope this helps you out.

Edit: pd151.img
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Lol wow - I am in this exact same scenario - placed both kernel and radio on my sd card, flashed the kernel, got stuck at boot loop, and can't get back to recovery to flash the "first time" kernel because hboot only gives me the option of updating radio...

So...I unfortunately don't have an sd card reader on my computer to easily remove the pd15 radio file...is there any way around this? Or is removing the pd15 file from my sd card the only solution??

Ok...I remembered my girlfriend's computer has an sd card reader, I put mine in, and when I try to remove the pd15 radio file, it says it can't be deleted...WTF!? What should I do??

So it looks like the card is "read only" on my girlfriend's computer...but I can't put it into my computer to change the read/write permissions!!! Argh...!!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I sorted it out....phew! I mounted a different sd card via my phone, fixed the kernel issue by running 'firs time' kernel, and was able to power up phone. Looking good now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmakk2055:
Move the pdm15.zip off you micro card or rename it,thats why you can't get to recovery

[LG Optimus 2x] saryu:
hi.. i'm from nexus s..

i'm really reconsidering to buy LG optimus 2x because i can trade it with LG O2x without paying a single extra cent...

I want to ask all your opinion.. Is it worth it to trade google direct support with LG opt 2x superior hardware ?

what are the plus and cons of LG o2x. ?

How is the devs support with LG O2X..

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 2x] Hannes The Hun:
when the O2x gets a stable and usable CM7 and/or a really good 2.3.3 stock ROM, it's worth the hassle. until then, stay with your Nexus S.
[LG Optimus 2x] saryu:
Thanks, what are the known issue in Optimus 2x ? Nexus S itself is not stable, still rebooting sometimes in 2.3.4 and have blank screen sometimes..

hmm, i have 24 hours to decide whether i will trade in or not..

any other opinion ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hannes The Hun:
24hrs should be enough to read the forum
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I had an i9023 for a bit, the P990 is better in my opinion (else I would still have the NS) stock ROM is terrible, but CM7 is not. It's still buggy as it's early days, but gets better with each nightly.
[LG Optimus 2x] nk7600:
Have a look around this forum and you will see lol.

TBH I havent had any real issue with mine other than my sd card coming up as Unavailable and more battery drain/very hot where the sd card sits because of this issue. As long as you do a soft reset (holding PWR + VOL UP), it sorts it out.

I had a Desire before and have had this for about 3 weeks and couldnt be happier with it.. Sadly, it seems there are a lot of people having issues with the standard rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] saryu:
yes, i'm currently reading general and development forum as we speak right now. i just want to gather as much knowledge as i can about this phone, thank you very much..

so both of u saying LG stock ROM is unstable and custom ROM is much better than stock ROM. And currently it seems like CM7 nightly is the best choice around.

Is installing CM7 will automatically upgrade O2X into gingerbread ? because as far as i know, CM7 is based on 2.3.3 (in nexus s i directly jump from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 after installing CM7)..
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
CM7 is currently 2.3.4 (GRJ22)
[LG Optimus 2x] joelteixeira:
Well, you probably already bought your phone, I just want to say that I coming from a Nexus S to Optimus 2X and, IMO, was the best exchange I made. Nexus S is great, but o2x it's even better.

You can't install it as a normal apk. You'll have to copy it to your /system/app folder with a root enabled file manager (like ES File Explorer or Astro) and rename it to Music.apk.

Don't forget to copy the original one to the SD card (or rename it to Music.bak or something) in case anything goes wrong.

Btw the File Manager works as well, installation is the same. I prefer the MIUI one because a)it looks awesome and b)it has a built in FTP feature which is even more awesome.
