LOL, yeah, this should go in the PC section, not SGSII section. :D

To OP: Try updating your codecs too, other than that... get a new computer!
[Galaxy S II General] r_a_c:
I had the same problem with my sony vaio FW31J. Should be good enough to play it, but it was jerky and images stopped sometime.

I have no idea why but it would only do this when my laptop wasn't plugged in.

When I was on battery it had the problem. And no I did not have any energysaving module on.
[Galaxy S II General] stoolzo:
installed these codecs:

http://www.cccp-project.net/

the right click on file and choose open with, choose media player classic, if this isnt very smooth then get back to us.

What generation of gfx card do you have, gerforce, ati, 5,6,7, 280,460 etc
[Galaxy S II General] downwiththebanksters:
Google CCCP to get Media player classic (for your PC) and make sure you get DXVA enabled. Every Windows versions has a slightly different setup, and only about 2 year and younger video cards (AMD/Nvidia)can take advantage of DXVA. Can someone say if any integrated Intel video chipsets can do DXVA?
[Galaxy S II General] zxz0O0:
LOL at mobile phone being faster than computer :D
[Galaxy S II General] tuddsta:
Lol i actually have an m15x.the computer im using is an old athlon.ill try on my own i think.
[Galaxy S II General] mark2222:
As much as people think it might be a pc issue I experience the same thing on my i5 750 @3.9GHz. Op I think it is due to 1080p video recording not being as many fps and smooth as 720p. I've watched other peoples recorded 1080p as well and it's the sam whn the phone camera is panning. Some people may not notice it as much or choose to ignore it but I just use 720p for now. Maybe with some overclocking it can push out a steady 30 fps 1080p.
[Galaxy S II General] DuMaX:
What are the specs of your computer? I've played plenty of 1080p videos from my phone on my comp without issue.
[Galaxy S II General] tuddsta:
Like mark 2222 says plenty of power its actualy a p4 2.9, with 2gig ram.old but should suffice.720 plays back smooth
[Galaxy S II General] sgstwo:
P4 2.9GHz is obviously not enough if you can't play it back. I've tried dual Xenon 2.4GHz (about 8 years old) and it had problem playing back 720p content so don't expect your 2.9GHz to play back 1080p. Buy a new graphics card, or a new computer, or don't try to play 1080p content.
[Galaxy S II General] Xero Xenith:
It's often not the processor that's the issue. We can see that the SGS2's and Tegra 2 processors are fine, but much slower than an i5.

The problem is often the graphics card. Don't blame the processor or the phone until you're sure you're using your graphics card to render the videos, not the processor! That's what they're for! It also needs to be capable of hardware decoding 1080p. :p

1080x1920 = ~2 million pixels

720x1280 = ~1 million pixels

1080p has more than double the number of pixels as 720p. It's a big step up!
[Galaxy S II General] stoolzo:
lets just be clear here, this is NOT a pc spec issue, I can play hd movies on my 6 year old laptop which has a crappy celeron cpu onboard and an ati radeon 7000, this is a codec issue or something to do with the way the video is recorded. I will do some tests on my rig and report back.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Haha, no way. That is not powerful enough. I had a P4 3.2 and also a graphics card that had hardware acceleration of 1080p wmv files.

When playing back normal 1080p video files (xvid), the framerate was low at about 5 fps. When playing 1080p wmv files, the hardware acceleration from the GPU got it up to the 30 fps rate of the video file.

That's also the reason why the I9100 can play back 1080p with no issues. The Exynos chipset has hardware acceleration of the scaling of 1080p to the screen resolution. Tegra2 on the other hand does not have this, so it struggles with 1080p videos.
[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
That's more than powerful enough. I played back 1080p AVC video perfectly on an old media box running a craptacular P4 @ 2.4GHz or somewhere there.

Your graphics card needs to be able to decode it, also try another decoder/codec pack meant for HD video. CCCP is ok, I swear by

CoreAVC.

It's not free, but you can find 'free' copies floating around google, try and buy. It's worth it if you're on a crappy computer and don't want to upgrade your hardware. :p

I've tried playback of 1080p video from the phone and it's fine. Buttery smooth. Most likely a problem with your computer then.
[Galaxy S II General] rob_h:
Is the file copied from the phone to the pc or are you trying to run it from the phone attached as mass storage? Could be the usb port being slow to transfer if this is the case. Maybe try downloading a test MP4 from the web and see if it is ok?
[Galaxy S II General] stoolzo:
rubbish, a pc of that spec will tear it to bits with the correct codecs, my ageing P4 with onboard intel graphics runs it smooth at work, like i said this is not PC spec issue, I suspect we are not being given all the relevant info here from the OP, we are missing some vital information which will ultimately turn out to be the cause.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
People are getting very confused here. For HD playback, unassisted by the graphics card you really need a dual core CPU, preferably a Core2Duo or AMD equivalent. These phones actually record at quite a high bit-rate, higher than most internet pirate MKV files. You also need to ensure the computer isnt doing anything else, especially anything that uses the hard drive regularly.

For the GPU to assist it must support the right codecs and you must have them installed. Older ones may not, even top of the line older ones. For example an ATI 3000 series or Nvidia 7000 series probably wont have a full set of hardware decoding capabilities, whereas the base model of the next series play everything just fine.

Most moderately recent Intel integrated graphics (the MHD range, the HD being the important part) will play stuff the older ATI/nVidia stuff wont. Indeed my Notebook has a 1.2Ghz CULV CPU and the Intel MHD GPU, it plays everything just fine. My friends Laptop has a base model 2GHz C2D without the HD version of the intel GPU and it struggles at times with some of the 1080P MKVs I have.
[Galaxy S II General] kohiiou:
Could be a codec issue, graphic issue, or ram issue. I think everyone is correct. In this case, there are a few methods to determine if your computer is running correctly to play these videos.

I must point out though, that just because some 1080p videos play back smoothly and others don't, it could also be because of their bitrate. The higher the bitrate, the bigger the file, the slower it is. In fact, bitrate is ever so important along with the resolution. A video that's 1080p isn't necessarily high quality - I've seen 720p videos that have better quality than 1080p because of the low bitrate of some 1080p videos (so the 720p maybe more cycle intensive than 1080p).

Other issues that can impact the speed of playback is your read speed. For example, if I tried to play a 13gb 1080p video file over the wifi network, it starts to lag like crazy, but if I play it with a LAN connection, it plays fine.

I use a nVidia ION chipset, and it plays the video back quite smoothly, but only with video accelleration.

There are ways to check if you have video acceleration; try checking to see if DVA/DXVA is running, and if your GPU supports the video compression format.

Original link: [APP] Battery Calibration - EASIEST WAY! - Version 1.2 (10th April, 2011)

I just posted here so that Nexus S member realise that they need to calibrate their battery before giving comment that they having bad battery life :p

[APP] Battery Calibration - EASIEST WAY! - Version 1.2 (10th April, 2011)

Battery Calibration

[APP] by marosige

version 1.2

Requirements: Android 2.1+ | Root permissions

Calibration needs to be done after flashing a new ROM, but you can calibrate any time you think your battery is miscalibrated. This program does it by removing the batterystats.bin system file. The OS generates a new clean batterystats file soon, thus any fake information from the previous ROM is removed.

It's suggested, but not necessary, to let the phone fully discharge after calibration, then charged to 100% without break.

The app shows your actual battery status, and only allows you to start the calibration (i.e. removes the file) when it's fully charged, unless you force earlier calibration.

The voltage meter can be useful too. Full charge is around 4200mV.

There is an option to beep when 100% is reached so you don't have to closley follow the changes.

EXTRA NOTE FOR NEXUS S:

Since our Nexus S has default of charging limit till 95%,

we'll need to do some setting modification to enable it to charge till 100%.

1st, Go to Setting, select Display, change the ScreenOut Time to the longest (30 minutes for mine).

2nd, Leave it there and charge it, remember to touch the screen every 30 minutes to enable it charge till 100%.

3rd, When it shows 100%, open the Battery Calibration apps and press "Battery Calibration"

4th, Reboot your phone and it should be alright :p

(You maybe asking why when the screen is on, it can be charged to 100%, I have no idea too :(

Click the button below to download :D

DOWNLOAD

Or use the code :D

Those who had 1.1 or lower installed: you must uninstall before installing from the Market, or else it will say installation unsuccessful, package not signed.

*I personally tried this apps and it WORKS on Nexus S (i9023)

*I'm not responsible for any damage or losses of any kind caused by the use or misuse of the program! Neither mariosage!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ElChe:
Does this really worth the trouble? My phone charges up to 97% and the batt least long... On CM 7.0.3. Does it really increases the life time?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mbh87:
Do you need to do it every single charge? No, you dont. Would it be a good idea to do it the first time after flashing a new kernel or ROM? Sure.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] buachaille:
I often delete battery stats in clockwork mod. Doesn't this just achieve the same thing, or is there a difference????
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] window7:
Well, that's good if you can delete battery stats.

This apps is for those who LAZY to delete it, instead, use a apps where "one-click" is able to achieve it without going to recovery mod :p
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mousse04:
Something I don't understand about the Nexus S note:

if you can't charge your phone above 96% how could you let it charge until 100%?

If I let my phone charge during several hours, the percentage doesn't increase over 96-97% ...

So could you explain a little bit better.

Thanks a lot.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] window7:
The weird thing is, when the screen in on, it can be charged to 100% :)

Ask me why? I have no idea too. Haha. You try it and you will realise it :p
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mousse04:
I found out something more than weird ... if I let my phone charged with screen on, I can't go over 97% and the battery state oscillates between 96 and 97% !!!!!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] raiderep:
For me charging with wifi tether turned on it will charge past 96%,without it on it stops charging screen on or not. I got to 98% this morning before leaving for work or I was gonna be late...

sent from the nexus of the 4g universe
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slackwaresupport:
mine tops out @ 98% like this.. cant get it to 100
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] MistaJae:
With WiFi tether I can get to 100%. It may be something to do with not letting the phone go into a 'deep sleep'.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] de-evolution:
Hmmm... so I let it charge to 100%, then recovery, clear battery stats, reboot. And when it rebooted 95%. Afterwards I recharged my nexus back to 100% and now it seems to be charging fully everytime, or so it seems.... That's so weird, why a charging limit? Software Bug? Or am I just an idiot and it takes 5% battery life to reboot into recovery..

Edit: Now when I clear battery Stats I get no confirmation in Recovery, it just jumps back to menu..... Ill give this Battery Calibration App a try and see how it goes, cheers
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kdepro:
I noticed this error, the inability to charge beyond 97 as well as showing decreased charge while plugged in, and left my nexus plugged in and off for 6 hours...

it booted and showed 95% charge, but reported full... Strange
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] window7:
Please remember that for our nexus S, 99% and 100% can be consider full charge as to 4198-4200mv. So when it reach 99%, you can just unclick the "wait til 100%" and click "battery calibration"

hope that helps :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] window7:
I noticed when I clear battery stats the very first time in recovery, it never show comfirmation. Probably due to some bugs I guess?

So I share this app as this app does the job :p
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dario3040:
Also, a little tip.

Go to Settings>Applications>Development, and press stay awake.

Makes it easier I guess, then you don't have to monitor the phone.

i'm having a problem with the email app syncing emails consistently. i'm using Exchange corporate email and when i put in my account info, all of my emails pull down without any problems. however after a while (not sure how long) i can try to manually sync or auto sync...and the circle refresh graphic just spins and never gets any emails. i have a Droid Incredible and that email sync works just fine (same system and username/pass).

the only way to starting getting emails again is to remove the account and add it back. as soon as i do that, it starts receiving emails. i googled and this is essentially what is happening to me http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=3a08e190f76c66b4&hl=en

help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lie_ui:
Yes, I can verify also that this is one of the bugs found in the honeycomb email client.

I also encountered this issue daily. What I can tell so far is that, whenever the tablet loses its connectivity for a certain period of time, the email client will never work anymore. Even though the connection was established later, the email client will not work synching anymore, it will simply spin and spin without any ending. And cannot be stopped from the email client.

Every morning when I bring my tablet to work (it will lose the connectivity from my home network) when I arrive in my office and get the wifi connection, everything else will work but the email client will not.

The GMail client, however, will continue to work just fine.

My work around currently:

1. Restart the tablet, or

2. Go to setting, Applications, then force stop the Email client.

Then relaunch it again, and it will work.

This morning I tried to swich between my office wifi and my cell phone Wifi (tethering) and the email client actually can switch between 2 networks without any problem. I wonder if it will stop working after a certain period of no-connectivity.

I hope this is a bug in the Honeycomb 3.0 and hopefully this is fixed in the new updated Honeycomb 3.1 which we supposed to get anytime now in our Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegrumpyyoungman:
that worked to at least get my email without having to reboot my TF. thanks for the workaround. hopefully this will be fixed soon. i saw this on the xoom forums as well so i'm assuming its a honeycomb problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lie_ui:
Kind of sad/dissapointed, this issue is still there after the Honeycomb 3.1 update this morning. The Email client still behaves the same! After loses the connectivity for a while, it will not work anymore when the connection is reestablished.

It will keep spinning and spinning, no end.

The other issue with the email client (the embedded image/picture not shown in an Exchange account) was also still there.

Hi all,

I am on stock Froyo with Bloatware freezing all of Tmobile apps.

I understand that there are a few threads about this topic, and I have gone over those. I am trying to understand about my particular battery drainage, and high temperatures.

I have been running battery monitor for a few days collecting data and monitoring the patterns and for some reason the battery drains a lot when listening to online radio over the 4g or doing minor things.

Most of the days I am listening to the radio coming in to work and leaving work. Thats about it.

I am attaching the following images.

Also, the temperature gets to about 40 C pretty regularly when listening to the radio.

Here is a snapshot of that.

Sorry if I offensive someone... But on my 'old' HD2 with Android I was able to use and install "Daily Breast Quest" I used Android for a short time on my HD2. I flashed it with something else (wp7).

Now I have waited several weeks on the delivery of the Samsung Galaxy S2. Finally I have it, one of the apps I was waiting for was this one. Somehow it is'n available on the Markter. I have Content Filtering set to "Show all apps" it switches back automatically to "High maturity"

Anyhow, still no luck with finding the APP. Is their someone who has the APK file ? Has it something to do with the 2.3. version on the Samsung Galaxy S2.

The website http://www.playboy.nl/daily-breast-quest mentions a QR code :

Maybe yours has Recovery in a different keys combination, just like it does fastboot

What do you want to boot into recovery for??
