[Acer Iconia A500] threedfreek:
After I hacked the moto libdv??.so file into my system/lib my video and mp3 stopped working... If I copy the original back it all works again... wish there was a way to play netflix without breaking everything =(
[Acer Iconia A500] threedfreek:
Only problem with mx is that you have to tell the program where your video files are. I have a 1tb drive that I use with my acer and when I tell mx to use it it takes forever to load every single video file in my 1tb into a single folder... I much prefer mobo's file browser approach!! Some of my divx avi's didn't play on mx... they all play on mobo (in soft decode mode) :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] mehdi-psp:
Would you please somebody help me to find out how plays the following video formats on Iconia A500 :

720P - MKV - more than 4Gb ?

720P - MKV - Under 4 Gb ?

720p - MP4 ?

720p - Avi ?

And other video formats .
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
It all depends on the codecs used. MKV, MP4, AVI, etc are just containers multiplexing the video, audio and subtitle streams. For example I can play an 720p avi fine wth mx player and can't play a 480p avi (both play fine on my laptop with vlc). Anyway if you decide to reencode, I found out that setting the desired file size to 1gb and using 2-pass x264 codecs for the video and 128 kbps aac (mp4 file of course) for the audio gives satisfactory results. Video quality could be bit better but on the other hand I'd prefer to have more videos on it. Reencoding takes quite a while, but since I got the iconia I rarely use my laptop, so it sits quietly in the corner and utilizes it's quad-core cpu ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] mehdi-psp:
Thanks for your explanation , Actually I want to use Iconia A500 as a video payer not any more .

As a matter of fact and with regard to your explanation it will not be usefull for playing video file .

Since a large number of my video files are 1280 * 720 or 1280 * 544 with high bit rate in both audio and video I think I have to change my mind for buying Iconia A500 . Am I right ?
[Acer Iconia A500] bzmotoninja83:
so far, i have used the oem players and they dont work for the movies i am trying to load. i.e.: mp4, avi....etc i downloaded mx player and boom. im in business. this is why i like xda and have been here like flies on s**t......lol
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
No tablet currently can play 1080p natively, as no tablet has a resolution of 1080p or higher. IIRC the next Gen Samsung tabs will have a native resolution higher than 1080p.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JosephAGT:
Hi ive noticed a problem on a lot of recent roms and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue.

Problem: The display is sharp however the display for pictures, widgets, videos, apps etc can be bitmapped and 'fading light' appears layered.

What I found weird is when i installed launcher pro the 'lighting' graphics appeared smooth and the problem was fixed for widgets.

Is it a kernel issue, because i know many of the more recent roms are using the same kernel. I do remember reading that it can be caused because of different resolutions?

Please let me know if this is just me, in which case any help?

I can post a screenshot to clarify...

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Capt.PP:
Some ROM stock launcher renders pretty fade icons layout. Use launcher pro or upgrade to paid one for better functionality. I'm currently using ADW Launcher EX paid version that punch out all kind of magic. Another note is reducing lcd density also make the device load fast and nicer/smaller app icons. The back side of reducing lcd density is some app doesn't support it which make the screen view smaller.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
Hi I'm new here so i apologize if I have posted this in the wrong spot or if there is already a post about this (i checked and couldnt find one) Anyways, i'm having an issue with my SGS4G that drives me INSANE. It happens often. I will be texting or browsing the internet or something and the green arrow pointing up on the 4G symbol freezes. Once that happens im not able to do anything: send texts, load anything, use internet (pretty much anything consisting of data). I actually experienced the problem trying to load up XDA. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
This is exactly the right forum for this sort of question--just fyi. I've never had that happen though hopefully someone here can help you out. My guess is something running or updating in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
Oh thanks i just make sure cuz ive been on forums where people FLIP if u accidently post in the wrong spot. But yeah i hope someone knows why or at least how to stop it. Only way to fix it id to restart my mobile network.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheWord:
i encounter that problem a number of times on the 4g connection. using edge never experiences the problem and i can also remedy if i switch networks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mxvris:
Are you using Mobile AP by any chance when it happens? I've had my data freeze completely after a good amount of use via Mobile AP. Other than that I haven't noticed any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
Whats Mobile AP?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mopar2ltr:
Mine is doing the same thing it is very annoying :'( since I have started using the Bali 1.4uv kernel it happens less frequently. Now when it freezes I click back then reload the page i was on to resume browsing
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
Yeah its driving me crazy n i cudnt find a solution so i just got a headset exchange. New one shud be here any minute now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
Hey guys, i need advice. I got my headset exchange last night and ive been using it and ive already experienced the same issue. I checked what Mobile AP was and no i have never used that feature. Heres what i need help with, shud i just stick it out and use it how i am or shud i trade/sell it on CL for something else like a G2X or a Sidekick 4G? Thanks guys.

G2x

Modded gingerbread theme

Whitehawks kd1 deodexed with modded green dialer,modded pull down menu (favorite color is green and favorite football team greenbay packers)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Harhar321:
Read up on the g2x lately. It is having lots of issues for lots of people. Tmo even pulled it off their website due to problems with alot of those phones. Random reboots, screen issues like light bleeds and discoloring, and other issues. Some are happy with the device with few of these issues others have had multiple exchanges and still report problems.

They say the gingerbread update will fix some of these when it comes out. I doubt it will fix the screen issues tho. That just sounds like an LG hardware defect. Bottom line do some reading before jumping on the LG g2x bandwagon.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
After the issues with this phone i dont even wanna consider the G2X anymore lol. Thank you SO much for the heads up. My brother and my sister have the sidekick 4g and they love it. Has anybody heard anything about that one?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] StickYIckY35:
Im just tired of havibg the defective phones so im looking for a change.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knowthenazz:
HI,

I'm running a Moto Milestone running CM6.

For quite a while now, I've noticed that if I leave my phone plugged in to it's charger, that, periodically (As often as once ever 3 min) the charging indicator will show an unplugged state for less than a second (even though the charger is still plugged in) and then it resumes it's plugged in charging state.

I've confirmed this by adding a new profile in Tasker that logs the charger connections and disconnections.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
Wipe everything and reflash the ROM and try to see if the problem persists. I had a charging issue with CM6... The phone was connected to the wall socket but the white LED wasn't turning on anymore and everything was normal (like it was "discharging"). After reflashing, it worked... so, I think it is just a small bug.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knowthenazz:
Hi Abazel,

Thanks for the info.

So you reflashed with CM6 again and it worked? Or did you upgrade to CM7 to see the problem disappear?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Abazel:
I kept using CM6. I've wiped everything+factory reset then I've reflashed the ROM and it worked like a dream.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knowthenazz:
Thanks again for the info.

What's odd is that I did do a full wipe and factory reset when I originally installed CM6. But, I'll try it again either with CM6 or possibly CM7.

Thanks for your help!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nacloud:
Must be a random bug I didn´t had any issue with CM6
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knowthenazz:
Thanks for your input. I'm starting to think so too...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] _crAss_:
Check you charger if it supplies low mA...USB protocol says 500 mA, but with some old car chargers I have rated at that I get that problem.

When I charge with 1 A chargers this never happens.

Also if the phone is fully charged and I plug it in the light remains on but the phone discharges...of course the rate of discharge is much lower than having no charger on. From 50% and below the problem starts and if it is 30% or less it happens all the time.

So for me it is kinda solved...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] knowthenazz:
Thanks for the suggestion.

All of my chargers are 500mA minimum, however, since your post, I've noticed that the chargers that I'm using when I get the disconnects have a mini to micro usb adapter on them. I guess after some use, the adapters are starting to have some issues.

Thanks for giving me the idea!
[Vibrant General] nickdog670:
I still have my phone under the manufacturer warranty and it has been acting wonky lately. I want a new vibrant and I am just wondering what is considered a defect? Im thinking about flashing back to stock and saying my GPS doesn't work, and also I have light leakage from LED buttons. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
what is "wonky" about it?

Maybe we can fix it... I don't like the idea of helping get a new phone, just for the sake of getting a new phone.

This (and other reasons) are why phone costs so dang much.
[Vibrant General] Se7enDayz:
Smh...
[Vibrant General] Marvlet:
Exactly, if it is indeed defective then by all means get an exchange. But if it just running slow then it can prolly get fixed with a flash. I process so many warranty exchanges that in all honesty there was nothing physically wrong with it. A simply odin to stock fixes them.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
And if you are willing to try, check my signature for going back to stock... files and a guide for you.
[Vibrant General] nickdog670:
Random restarts, GPS still doesnt work at all, light leakage on buttons and screen. Ive tried numerous ROMs and I am still having issues with GPS. Ive went to stock and while it fixed my problems with restarts, stock was just to laggy so I went back to custom ROMs, GPS still doesn't work.

I am also having signal problems. Me and my friend bought a vibrant the same day and we have tested in the same room that his gets better reception. In a room where he has H, I am only on Edge. This isn't a problem with the ROM because we are both running Bionix.

If there is any way to fix my GPS/Signal issues then by all means tell me and I wont send my phone in for a replacement.

EDIT: Thank you guys for the help. Could ROMs effect signal/GPS? Like I said above when I compared with my friends phone under the same conditions (same room, same ROM) i was only on Edge and he had H. I've tried Trigger, MIUI, and CM7 and still don't have 3G or H in places my friend does.

Thank you for the input I'm glad you gave me some good information as to fixing my phone/getting a replacement.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
ROMs COULD be a reason since they have different modems... but if you guys were on the same rom and didnt change the modem, then no....

I have best luck on KB1.

I would ODIN to JFD, root, Flash Trigger and see how your signal/gps goes... if not great, flash the KB1 modem over it (dev section) and see if any better.

If you look in my tips/tricks (first link in signature) there is a fix I do for GPS. Sometimes on a new ROM when it DOES NOT work, I have to do that to make it work. Other roms, it works right after flashing... no real rhyme or reason.

If you want a new phone, i am certain you could get one based off what you said already..... but I would not be surprised if you could make it 100% right.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
not to mention the refurb you get could have the same problems or worse.
[Vibrant General] archie53:
Refurbished is what you will get, there are no more "new" Vibrants.

[Vibrant General] hd2life:
For gps try this http://www.intomobile.com/2010/07/21/t-mobile-samsung-vibrant-galaxy-s-gps-issues-fix-tutorial/

I am using stock KB5, it helped me get a lock in 15-30 sec.

edit: I did mess with gps.conf from hd2 forum, dont know if that helped too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotaryboots:
Hey guys, my old faithful rom was giving me problems last night so I decided to give cyanogen a try. Overall nice rom, very quick, I'm sure I'll like it, after I get some things figured out.

I never realized how much was sense on sense roms. Cyanogen is missing all those really handy widgets like email, people, and messaging. I'm slowly finding somewhat comparable widgets, but nothing solid yet.

What do you guys use for those basic widgets? Is there maybe a theme or something that has those, or should i keep looking on the market?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucluglee:
I've been using GO Launcher EX and it's worked great in all the rom's I have tried.

I too gave CM7 a run but the biggest issue was that I could not get the auto backlight settings to duplicate the Sense rom's, and although minor to some people, this is a big deal with me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoyomonk:
LauncherPro Plus is personally my first choice. It's $3(?) and I have never found a launcher I like more. I actually think the "People" widget functions better than the sense one.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I don't use it but I hear launcherpro has some sense like widgets. And as far as the backlight settings, they are set lower than sense roms by default but you can just go into settings and bump the levels up a bit or search for settings other people have posted and use theirs as a starting point.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotaryboots:
Ok, well I just completed a nandroid backup of my cyanogen mod 7 rom. I'm gunna restore the incredibly re-engineered rom I had before cyanogen. I'm thinking I'll flash the incredibly re-engineered Z rom's /system and the incredibly re-engineered evo /data that is in my old backup.

I'll play with cyanogen a little more later, or hold out for the sense version. The widgets aren't the only thing bugging me, I can't seem to get the t9 phone keyboard for portrait mode, and to me, cyanogen is just not worth it at the moment.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I can't find any mention of USB OTG on the Sensation, so assume it's not supported. Correct?

I'm interested too.

Hi everybody,

I'm pretty sure nobody has mentioned it yet.

When forwarding an email from SGS2 stock email application quoted text doesn't get to the recipient....

Does anybody have the same problem?

Not sure if it's relevant, my firmware is KE1
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] troed:
Yeah, happens when You forward the email without any selfwritten text. I always add some dots then it works.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Pfeffernuss:
Forwarding works just fine over here. Sent a mail from my PC to the phone, forwarded it back to the PC without adding any additional text and sure enough if came back as it should.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] arekkaras:
Thanks for the tips. Seems like upgrade to KE7 solves the problem anyway (no need to add any self text).

Hello everyone ....

I was wondering how can i make games work on my device ??

I'm currently running on MiniCM 1.0.0-RC-2

I've installed Angry Birds RIO and Fruit Ninja and they LAG as HELL :mad: !!!

is there any way to make games work please :( ??​

[Venue Pro General] jspare:
I have had my 32GB Venue on AT&T now for a few days and I have some thoughts on it. First I want to say I have had no issues with lockups or freezing. Wifi is on 24/7 and I have downloaded some large games etc. I have a bit over 16GB of data on the phone. Zune syncing is just as fast as my old Focus. I have no issues related to the software on the phone. It is running nodo version 7355. I have not been prompted for an update beyond that level at all (it shipped with nodo).

I have a few issues with the hardware. First the camera button does not always turn on the phone. Sometimes it works but it is very hit or miss. It is also too flush to the phone and does not stick out far enough. That seems to be a theme with this phone. None of the buttons protrude enough from the device. The power button is the worst.

I ordered a case to help with this issue since it appears the otterbox has buttons that stick out.

Second, the camera does not shoot 720p worth anything indoors. The frame rate drops to almost laughable levels when even normal indoor lights are on in my office at work. My friend's Focus does not have any issues at all. 480p video works great and the camera seems to do OK in the same lighting.

Third, the speaker on the bottom of the phone is VERY tinny. It does not have ANY bass and makes the one on the iPhone 4 or the Samsung Focus sound amazing. Even the alerts and ringtones sound very "thin" and lack any bass.

I do love the keyboard and the space available on the phone. 32GB is going to be hard for me to fill quickly. The hardware keyboard makes typing longer emails and texts very easy. I love that the auto-correction still works with the hardware keyboard. It even makes the "change" sound when it corrects a word but it does not makes key typing sounds. Very nice since the volume controls on the phone are not granular enough.

Pleas let me know if you have any questions.

Josh

I am posting this on my new blog called DaftGeek on wordpress. Check it out.

[Venue Pro General] tai4de2:
All good points. Gotta disagree about the speakers though, I think they sound pretty good, certainly better than my hd7.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
I had an HTC surround and the speakers and sound quality is inferior. Even through headphones our aux to my car stereo
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Agreed. I have a DVP and an HD7 side by side. DVP wins hands down. I also use a Jabra cruiser for my car and it transmits music with little loss of quality.
[Venue Pro General] jspare:
I wonder if my phone was saddled with a bad external speaker. The earpiece sounds great but the speaker used for notifications/ringtones etc. was very crappy and high pitched. Next to my Samsung Focus it was bad.

FYI: After a few more days with the phone I have not had a single lockup or stability issue.
[Venue Pro General] neogodless:
As far as the camera starting up the phone, I believe there is a proximity sensor near where your ear would press against, and when it's covered, the camera button is ignored. Try holding the phone more like a camera and avoiding that area and see if you still have the issue.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
I'm listening to a podcast through my dvp right now. I have to my volume at 30 (would play at 24-28) and have to have stereo 10-15 increments higher. Also miss my equalizer
[Venue Pro General] venelar:
my camera button wakes the phone no problem. to me it takes a long press, though.
[Venue Pro General] jruser:
I got my AT&T 32GB version in on Friday. I have cellular data disabled at this point but have been using a lot of wifi since then. No freezes for me yet and I have downloaded 15 or so apps/games. Also done quite a bit of web surfing and email over wifi. The Info app shows 480MB of ram btw.
[Venue Pro General] mechmouni:
what is the firmware version for your DVP?
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Mines is 2250.1800.7355.209

[Venue Pro General] neogodless:
How do you 'disable cellular data' but leave WiFi on?
[Venue Pro General] Homedesigner:
Go to settings, swipe down to cellular, and tap on it. There you will find the settings to turn on and off cellular data.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
One different I just noticed is that the dvp allows you to specifically just turn off 3g and use edge. This is a boon if you've ever been to a place where there are too many iPhones/smartphones present like a convention or sporting event and the 3g goes all to hell.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Another thing I just noticed is that I posted to this thread using 3 different mobile devices and a desktop, including one Android device! Maybe I should dust off my Kaiser and iPhone 3g to cover all the bases! :-p

I just bought an 8GB DVP for my wife (AT&T version) last week and it seems to be running without a hitch. Wifi on 24 hrs/day, no lockups so far...
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Question. How do I check the ram on this thing? I want to if it has the same bug the T-MO DVPs do.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Go to the EM app(dell's engineering menu). dial ##634# - if u haven't done so to make the app appear under apps.

Then tap system information. There it should show the memory.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
480.773 MB of RAM
[Venue Pro General] rvbarton:
Thanks everyone for the good information.

I just bought a DVP for my wife, to replace her Dell Streak. I think the Streak was too much for her, and am hoping the W7 mobile OS will be easier for her to work.

Any comments on Apps & what not for the DVP? Good? Bad? Indifferent?
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
helpful free apps i use on my DVP are Home Depot, Bank of America, WorldNewsNow, XDA Developers, Bandwidth, eBay, and Last.FM. I also bought Monopoly which plays really nice.

stay away from the junky fart apps and stuff like that.
