Here's my opinion. They have a fine line to walk. On the one hand, they can't (or won't) change too much, lest they risk alienating their "regular consumer" user base. There are things that previous posters mentioned, like better push notifications, some limitations that some Google apps have.... But they will have to something as Android is becoming very popular. You can tell Steve Jobs doesn't like it either because in one of their last earnings calls He lambasted Android and that's a cardinal rule of business, never mention the competition, especially by name. On the other they really should do something, I mean 3.5 inch screen in 2011? Really!?!!?

Apple? So what? I don't give a rats ass! I'm buying the device that got the best hardware for my use, and the best software that suits me.

You guys aren't objective! You're subjective, and that doesn't surprise me at all, since we're at the holy grail of Android and WP7. For god's sake, grow up. It's a ****ing operating system!

I'm not too sure anyone can really be too sure what's going g on inside apple. On one hand I see them having to change the ui to become more modern but then like the poster above they risk making it too hard for some people and some of the changes might require a bit of back peddling from Mr Jobs.

Plus no matter what they do, it's still going to sell out/ have huge lines, all that jazz because alot of people are locked into the ecosystem though money spent in the app store.

i just got my new htc hd2. the old one had water in it.

but OK so i just got it like 3 hours ago.

i wanted to install a .cab file but when i try to open it on my htc hd2 it don't open.

i download the .cab file from the computer then i drag and drop it into the disk drive where my htc hd2 is plugged into. then i go to file explorer and i go to open the .cab file but NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!!

--this there a special software or file or something i have to do 1st to start using the .cab file?

​
[HD2 General] Robson:
please add more detail on "nothing happens". did you click on the cab file and it failed to launch? or did you unzip the file? i don't think you need special software to install a cab file as it's routinely clicked on to launch. any error messages? also, while plugged via usb is your hd2 in "hard disk mode"? i read somewhere that trying to launch a cab file while on hd mode doesn't install apps.

It seems to have Refresh/Redraw issues on the Thunderbolt. I have even "Locked it in memory".

I have been using Zeam which is a worthy competitor and I love it's simplicity and speed. But I'd like to have an ADW option as well. can anyone confirm or deny that you are having similar problems, and if not, what settings do you have it on?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddog4DROID:
I guess ADW doesn't have many customizable memory settings like Launcher Pro does.

So, when you hit the home button to exit an app, do you ever see the icons slowly reappearing? I had major major redraw issues on my D1. This seems the same, except because it is a faster processor, it redraws much faster, but I still notice this.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greigster:
I have read so many threads on here that my head is spinning.

I seem to remember reading about a cable that can be purchased from Ebay for about £3 which zero`d the flash counter as well as fixing the phone if it seemed bricked. or am I dreaming and in fact I have just taken random words from various posts to make up a thread?

I received my SGS2 about a week ago from o2 but the screen keeps freezing during some games.

I also hotspot tether the phone to my laptop using the Three "All you can eat" One Plan. The tethering seems to drop/disengage randomly a couple of times an hour even though the tethering is still showing on the phone. I have to switch off the tethering and then back on again and it will be fine for a while but then drops out again. I have tried the sim in my Nexus One and the tethering works fine.

I phoned o2 who offered to refund me as the did not have a replacement SGS2 and could not say when they will have any more. After my insistance that I would like a replacement, a very helpful customer service rep spoke to his manager and offered me a doorstop swap replacement but said it might be 4 to 6 weeks before they have any stock!!!!

I have agreed to this as long as my 14 day exchange/refund is honoured from the date of the swap. O2 have sent me an email to confirm that they are happy with that.

You dont need jig unless you cannot access 3 button download mode or have flashed custom firmware and need to reset the counter.

If you are on O2 firmware do nothing though a factory reset will not invalidate warranty .

If you are on non O2 firmware i would find the O2 firmware on here and flash it back .

It isn't a full ROM update so it won't wipe us clean, right?

Are you stock unrooted?

If yes, you shouldn't have any issues. Both my parents have bone stock inspires and did the OTA with no complaints.

Believe me, if they would've lost anything or had any problems, I would have been the first to hear about it. ;)

If no, you won't be able to do the OTA anyway, you'll have to get the equivalent over in the dev section.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JFMFT:
I have a Handbrake profile saved from back in March. I found it from a YouTube video links section, where the author of the "how-to" video about re-encoding video for the best playback on the Xoom posted a link to a pretty good Handbrake preset for the Xoom.

I am just wondering... if video playback is now better in Honeycomb 3.1, if there would be a better setting (for better quality video) out there? Does anyone have a Handbrake preset that looks really good on the Xoom that is new for the 3.1 update?

The preset I have from March works well, and videos encoded using the preset play without stutter - but the quality is a bit blurry at times... which leads me to wonder if the Xoom couldn't handle higher quality video now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
I had lots of trouble finding the right combo with Handbrake. Videos would play fine but weren't very crisp.

Switched over to the latest version of an old app - DVD Fab. Works extremely well, videos are sharp and play buttery smooth.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoppie2828:
JFMFT,

What setting are you currently using? I'm at work so cant check mine right now. I know whatever settings I was using seemed to work pretty well-will get back to you with specifics.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stachre:
If you have a solid preset to tweak, then try using the "Constant Quality" setting under the "Video" tab:

Constant Quality - Handbrake

CRF Guide - Handbrake

Read the above links; they have great info. If you don't, then at least note that higher RF means lower quality (higher compression).

For me, a single Handbrake preset doesn't produce the results I want -- good quality balanced with decent file sizes -- across different kinds of video. Animation differs greatly from fast-paced action (frames, distinct lines/edges, blur, etc.), for example.

In Handbrake, I started with H264 baseline profile settings, then settled on some tweaks in the "Advanced" tab after some reading and experimentation:

Motorola Support FAQ: Motorola XOOM - Optimal video settings

HandBrake Docs (links to option descriptions): x264 Options - Handbrake

Now, I vary only the "Constant Quality" parameter between RF 19 and 25, depending on the type and quality of the source. It takes some trial and error, but I think it's a worthwhile effort. Working first with short samples (5-10 min) from the video source will help things move quicker, too.

Here are my Handbrake settings for my Xoom.

I'm getting pretty good results in term of quality/size.

For the Picture settings, I'm changing the Anamorphic to None and setting the Width to 1280 (be sure to check the Keep Aspect ratio).

Maybe the Anamorphic could be changed to other, I didn't test to see the difference.

You can try setting Constant Quality or increase the Bitrate value (I'm using 1500 which seems to be enough)

Encoding is quite fast (depending of the PC of course)

Enjoy playing them with the default HC video player :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruteral:
"video playback is now better in Honeycomb 3.1" i agree. Honeycomb 3.1 improve the hardware capabilities, so video will play more smoothly. but for video conversion, you need to increase the bit rate. this is my own experience.

There is a hack going around that I have been playing around with that unfortunetly I have not been able to get working. It is an edit for the Build.Prop file in \system. (this does require a root and some sort of root explorer) (I've tried some of the other "hacked" APK's, but I can't deal with crappy video)

Take a quick look at this article on Reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/ha5oh/root_how_to_edit_your_buildprop_to_make_netflix/

After looking at that for a while I started tooling around.

Changes I made

:

ro.product.model=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)

ro.product.model.internal=Nexus S (Replacing MB860)

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung (Replacing motorola)

So basically, this is supposed to fool the device check by making the application think you are using an accepted device. Like I said I haven't been able to get it to work. If anyone can see any other changes to make, any input would be appreciated. Hopefully we can get this working and share it with the community, until Netflix decided to come to their senses.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dLo GSR:
It something to do with either hardware acceleration of how the app handles teh qHD screen. the Watch ESPN app does thes same thing.

also this method is not a good idea when compared to using the modified APK, because you are editing your actual system files through this way. and as said before this has been discussed and a different way found already on this forum.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] goscrewsir:
The Atrix has a higher resolution screen than every other android phone currently available. An app, especially a graphically intensive video app, has to be designed to scale up to this resolution. Not to say it can't work, just doesn't yet.
