Just access to bbc iplayer via the web browser if you have a uk vpn or proxy, it's working fine. No need for the app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
Proxy refused

Don't have a VPN (and don't know how to get one) but I do have Expat Shield that provides a UK IP adress, but Market said; No, no! Can't do that. I suppose I will need a different account setting?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aibo:
If I'm not mistaken, expat shield is a program to be used on a computer, there is no android version. For a good vpn you should subscribe to a paid service.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
Ahh, I thought I could log in to Market from my PC and just send it to the Transformer.

This raises a follow up Q; Is there a good service available for both PC and Android devices? Especially when you have multiple devices.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demibeard:
Hi, there is always get_iplayer and rtmpdump, check out...

infradead(dot)org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer

But since the update to 3.2 the stock video player doesn't seem to want to play HD content (SD is fine), I can transcode using handbrake, but on 3.1 they played brilliantly :-(

Now I'm from the UK so I've no need for a VPN for this content so I can't help you with info regarding that, but you might need a setting for get_iplayer get around a verify / sync error, I have the following lines in my 'options' file...

flvstreamer /usr/bin/rtmpdump

rtmptvopts --swfVfy h++p://uuuuuu.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf

rtmpradioopts --swfVfy h++p://uuuuuu.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf

Hope this helps.
[Nexus S General] tssphysicsboi:
hey guys, need some help. After upgrading to the new 2.3.4 my nexus s has the problem of unable to install apk files. When trying to install the app, i cannot press the install button. However, I can press the cancel button. It is weird. If I restart the phone then I can install one app and the problem occurs again.

Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks.

simaler problem

when trying to install app from SD i cannot press the install.

for a work around i use the adb to push install.

but do some one have any idea way is that?

My battery tips

1. Latitude : If you are logged in, it will update your location every few minutes. This will make a phone that should be on a very low power state, re-enable lots of things that suck power. (5hrs)

2. Home screen weather clocks : Just change the update interval to something more like every 3 hours and it won't kill your battery as quick. Make sure you don't have it use GPS for location. If you don't mind, set the location to be static. (1hr)

3. Chat programs that don't rely on push. If the program needs to keep your data connection alive, it will kill your battery.(1-5hrs)

4. Anything that will update automatically. The craigslist app for example will poll the site for changes, waking the connection and the processor each time.(1-5hrs)

5. Bluetooth. : I know it isn't an app, but if you aren't using it, don't have it on. It takes enough power to eat a few hours of battery life. Pretty major. (3hrs)

6. Leave 4G on. : This might not work for everyone, but when 4G is asleep, it doesn't seem to suck juice the same way 3G does. My EVO dies quick on 4G, my Epic battery lasts longer on 4G. (as long as you are in a 4G area). (3hrs)

Disable these things and you should get battery life that you hear others bragging about.
[Epic 4G General] sdrawkcab25:
"Latitude" on my phone and others I've seen, does not update that often and really only constantly updates is when you have maps open. My wife and I both run latitude and have not noticed anymore of a battery drain than not running it.
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
Mine updates every few minutes on WM and Android. Turn on your history and you will see it updates hundreds of times a day. After my froyo update, I couldn't make it through the day. You might have location set to wifi or wireless, I probably should do that too, but I'd rather keep it active.

Weird, I have history on and the setting to update automatically, and still only updates only once every few hours on it's own. Maybe mine is "broken", but glad it is then. I'm on an htc Incredible.

If you are getting excessive drain while on wifi, check for unusual traffic on your network as the problem is probably not your phone and something else polling your device keeping it awake.

I'm wondering if one of these 2 is a big sleep preventer:

1. "Background Data" (I used to think all you had to do was disable "Auto Sync" but when I uncheck "Background Data" I get a popup saying something about how I will save battery power if I agree to disable)

2. "Use Wireless Networks" (even if GPS is off).

I usually have been getting good results after unchecking a combo or both of these and sometimes I even have to reboot to get back to normal Epic sleep.

Clockworkmod took out Edify scripting a while ago. You can roll back to a previous version that has it though. I don't know much about ClockworkMod, because it was unstable as hell and didn't wipe correctly.

I would suggest ditching ROM Manager and ClockworkMod, and come over to the AmonRa world. Much more stable, and has both Edify and Amend scripting.

If you want ClockworkMod for whatever reason, use 2.5.1.2 or below. 3.x.x lacks Amend.

nice!!!!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
sounds good but I'm still confused

I still don't understand how much I personally will have to pay for this phone.

I am one year into a two year contract that I signed up for when I purchased my Evo on June 4th last year. At the time I was already a Sprint customer but had been out of contract for over two years. I currently have a preorder at Best Buy for the Evo 3d. I have a 150 gold premium upgrade waiting for me to apply to this purchase.

That takes me down to 350 bucks. Is there some other discount I would qualify for that would take me down to 200? Would I qualify for the instant 100 rebate through Best Buy? Is that a separate rebate from the 150 Premium gold upgrade discount? If it is, do the discounts stack?

Confuzzled..
[HTC EVO 3D] Samzebian:
**** I just realized I'm going to have to pay $350 for this phone...
[HTC EVO 3D] themuffinman:
If you qualify for the full upgrade then you get the new customer price. So basically it will be $499-$150 which is $349 but there will be the rebate that will bring it down to $199.

Nice, I just paid 550 for the Nexus S and am so excited that the Evo 3D is only 500. Nexus S is going back soon but I can't say I am not going to miss it. I just feel that the Evo is more future proof as far as hardware goes

[HTC EVO 3D] smw6180:
Ok I don't know if the price is going to be what it says or not. But you are reading that advertisement wrong.

First the website is 'inyofacerecords.com' which is the Black Eyed Peas label. Which is why it's listed there, right next to the ad for the Black Eyed Peas.

If you're going to attempt to debunk something, at least do it right.

[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Amazon has it (Green Lantern) listed as June 7th for the release. I don't know how that works, but maybe releasing a copy on a phone is different than the Bluray release date? Or maybe they worked a deal for an early release of the film on the phone or something (they did show that Prince of Persia movie before it was in theaters at the OG Evo release party).

what does lte and wimax have to do with anything. The nexus doesn't have lte so I don't get your point. Wimax is fine for me because I never really use 4g im always on 3g. I'm comparing nexus vs evo, not radio frequencies.

Very good point it really doesn't decide how future proof it is ..

[HTC EVO 3D] johnnycr:
I really hope that the Evo 3D is only $199, but I highly doubt that it will be that cheap. The Droid Charge is going for $299 with Verizon, so I just don't see how Sprint could sell the Evo 3D for only $199. My guess is it will be $249, like the Epic 4G was last year.

The droid charge also includes a much bigger 32 gb micro sd card as opposed to the 8 gb on the 3d

[HTC EVO 3D] user7618:
The point is all of Sprint's 4G phones use wimax. Now, if the bottom falls out of Clearwire and Sprint switches over to LTE guess what that means for all of these phones with a wimax antenna and not LTE. No 4G for anyone until they buy a new handset. I would like to think Sprint would just replace the newer sets with a comparable device, but you never know.

ok $199 on contract but what is off contract price? I assume the leaked Radio Shack ad will be accurate in it being $499 off contract? Meaning you save $300 with signing a contract?

According to the e-mail. Its $199 after $200 savings..... no way it'd sell for $399. Thats cheaper than evo4g, nexus s, epic, echo, arrive, and the touch pro 2. That wouldn't make much sense. Its logical it'd sell for $499 off contract with max being $549

[HTC EVO 3D] mario23:
Isn't Radio Shack still the better deal?

If I understand correctly, not only do they offer the same 199 contract price but they will give an additional 100 for my evo trade in making the price only 100 out the door.

I don't think BB is offering that unless you are already in the buyback program.

Just looking for the best deal...
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Very simple here is the price.

199.00

200.00 instant savings

150.00 upgrade(as long as you have full upgrade)

total price without anything===549.99 this is the way it always has been.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
If you want only 100$ for your evo ill take it no questions asked as long as it works and has the charger etc.

the 100$ they give you for your evo is BS ill take them for 100$

I just sold my evo on Craigslist for 250$ used 2 days ago i am on a old 8330 till this comes out but 100$ is chump change for it

Hello

Will the O3D be able to play existing android apps and games using it's modified SGX540, or will developers have to re-program their products? Anything that runs fine on say the nexus s or SGS 1, should run better/quicker on the O3D, without special programming, is that right?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u38966:
Hey guys, this may be stupid question, although I have searched and can only find references to the fact that this voids the O2 warranty. The phone is not rooted.

I have just used the brilliant instructions on thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1064894&page=12

to debrand my new Galaxy S2, however it was on O2 and I know it effectively voids the O2 warranty. However does it affect the Samsung Warranty? It is effectively as if I bought a Sim Free phone from Amazon or something so would I be able to use the Samsung warranty? Assuming that I didnt rebrand it back to O2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u38966:
Meant to say after I posted last night I connected the phone up to the PC with Kies and it is recognised and offers me a Samsung update. So the instructions work a treat and seem to make it an unbranded Sim Free phone, but I dont know whether Samsung would see it that way if I had to return it for some problem. I assume they would be able to tell that the Firmware/Kernal or whatever had been changed.

Cheers guys - you'll have to bear with me I have read the forum for ages (since my Samsung Omnia 2) but have never posted on any forum!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorko122:
I would be interested in this topic too. Anybody knows?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyaku_zuki:
This might be one of those things that is affected by, for example, the way EU regulations work.

From what I remember, its something like you have by default the manufacturer's warranty (usually 1 year, sometimes 6 months). But as per EU regulations, electronic devices have 2 years defect warranty, but with the retailer, not the manufacturer.

I could be very wrong.

Back to the point. If what I said is correct, this would mean you still have your Samsung warranty, technically. You would lose the O2 one. But I'm not sure what Samsung's position is regarding firmware flashes from anything other than KIES. They will be able to tell by checking the IMEI that your phone was originally O2 branded, so they'll know you flashed a new firmware.

This is largely irrelevant however, as unless your warranty issue breaks the phone entirely, you just reflash the O2 firmware back then send it to O2 ;) and even if you rooted, a £4 micro-usb jig off ebay (which is a 301k resistor in the right pins) will erase any record of custom flashes :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As per the last post keep a copy of original firmware .

Rooting voids warranty by Samsung see letter on Samfirmware .

Debranding retailer is at liberty to decline warranty but that will depend upon who sees the phone and if they are bothered about Samsung stock rom .

Custom rom no warranty full stop .

Stock Samsung rom you should find Samsung honour the warranty .

Plenty have had stock rom and or custom rom fixed but also some have been turned away judged on a vast number og Samsung Galaxy user posts .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] u38966:
I did wonder whether it would be an issue for Samsung as it is their standard firmware. It is said above that they would know from the IMEI which was sent to O2, but I think O2 were issuing debranded phones for the first couple of months, so would that be the only way they could tell? I am not hugely up on this but am wondering if there are any other ways for Samsung to tell as the phone is effectively a debranded SIM Free Galaxy S2 which can be bought from Play or Amazon.

The Samsung warranty according to what I can find on the Samsung website is 24 months for a mobile, although that seems to be limited down to 12 months of a useful warranty. I really ask because I have one for my sister which I now dont want to give her and was going to sell as Debranded Sim Free!?!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
O2 issued BRANDED unlocked phones not unbranded .

Samsung are more than likely not going to check phones IMEI relative to original provider as long as you have a receipt for the phone from an authorized Samsung outlet .
