You get what you paid for cheap Android tablets. It is not even widely advertised. When I was in Germany last week, i saw only iPad ads, no Android. No wonder here. Things like those cheapy Android tablets, let alone Xoom or Transformer. Ipad ads were everywhere.

You might have those savvy Joe friends, but there are a lot more other non savvy Joes out there. Who buy stuffs from itunes and use ipad for facebook alike:)

Who dont know how to unrar files from torrents, nor join split files from rapidshare.

Who dont know why the movie cannot be played because has ogg vorbis in it.

See? Those people are a lot more compare to your kind of Joe. Otherwise we will be very happy with our sociaty, because we have more savvy people around us!

Go around and ask people passing by, "do you know what MKV is?". then count who know from 100 samples.

Just to proove your point, for fun.

:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] songmeesay:
Yeah I look forward to CorePlayer as well. I'm just having mixed feelings how Samsung has provided info on this whole launch with all these conflicting specs. Heck even on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 microsite under the faq's it tells you to download Android File Transfer for Mac users and AFT doesn't even work with the 10.1 yet. One thing I really don't like is that one member here has reported that his Xvid avi file would not play with the stock player while it lists on the official samsung specs that Xvid and avi are supported natively. It could've been the audio was AC3 but usually the stock player will still play video, just with no sound, but his video wasn't even played at all I believe.

Either way, I'm not going to worry too much on MKV with tegra 2 tablets. I don't mind re-encoding for the next 6 or so months until Kal-el tabs start coming around... hopefully.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] galtom:
Gogol, you are right, nut remember that those ppl. are target. They make a volume sales, they got cash for devices and all other extra bits.

They are the ones who bought over 15 million devices last year and they are the ones android manufacturers want.

I am sorry but we here ale not that important.

And those ppl. above will get home and first time they will try to watch something they will say - android - never again.

BUT!: how would you understand this:

http://www.samsung.de/de/Privatkund...T-P7500UWDDBT/detail.aspx?atab=specifications

DivX support	Yes (This feature is available in Q3 with a software update.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I think Samsung is a mess, really. This time, big time. And I don't like it at all.

There are so many variations of "prototypes" floating around. One with SD card, one not, 3G has it? or LTE has it?. Then the ads with 1.2GHz. I meant, come one. Why can't they stick to the one correct specification? And why oh why all those confusion with MicroSD card?

Anyway, I am in the same boat with you. I don't worry much with MKV or high profile H.264. As I don't use tablet to watch movie much. Why? Because the screen is to small to start with, I am getting used to with full HD surround on 46" TV. When I am on the go, I will use tablet mainly for web browsing, news, games and facebook. Movies probably only for clips and trailers via YouTube and iMDB :)

Most probably, if needed, I think the OP has done a very good job with script to convert the container to MP4 without re-encoding.

Until the magical Tegra 3 ... Google Nexus Tablet ... Oh boy, the dream :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I think Samsung is trying to cater more geeky users?

Because they cant compete with iPad for common, non savvy users.

But anyway, to answer that. Even iPad has their official specs which stated all those technical terms, main profile encoding, containers, etc.

For Xoom, they have their FAQ state baseline profile.

Oh and Google has their own spec as well (stated baseline profile if I am not mistaken).

And Samsung? HAHA! After so much so with confusing prototypes, changed ads (Vodafone UK), what to believe? It is hard, and thats only make me headache :)

For me, rather to hang in that, I setup "what I want in an Android tablet".

Then check if such tablet can fulfill it ... and tried to stick with it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozndevl:
So, I was planning on doing some stuff to my EVO, nandroided, then messed around some. Decided I didn't like my changes, went back to recovery, wiped, and then when I went to restore, my backup wasn't there.

Now, when I did the backup, it said it was successful. What else could I have done to keep things from getting fried?

Of course, my app backups aren't updated so I've lost all my game high scores :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
well if using amon ra, you can look for your nandroids in the nandroid folder on sd card.

if using clockwork, you can look for them in the clockwork folder on your sd card.

remember you can only restore amon ra back ups with amon ra, and the same goes for clockwork
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdroid921:
How can I fix this :(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbburwell:
here's your fix

Same thing happened to me. Fear not - you CAN fix this! Here's what you do:

1) Download clockwork mod recovery (cwmod_internal.zip) from the sticky thread in the Dev forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245). Unzip it, and get the file called recovery.img and put it in the directory you ran nvflash from before.

2) Now go to your nvflash directory. Find the gtablet.cfg file. Edit it - under partition 9 where it says filename, change that to say recovery.img.

Now re-run nvflash - your G Tablet will get flashed with Clockwork Mod now instead of stock recovery. Once it's finished, reboot, and hold down the Vol + key while booting. You should get into Clockwork Mod Recovery now.

From here, I recommend repartitioning (use 2048 and 0 as the two options). Now try booting normally and everything should work fine.

I found that answer here: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-932157.html And it does work - perfectly.

By the way - when editing the gtablet.cfg file, be sure the finished edited product is still named exactly the same way. (Sometimes when using the standard text editor the editor will rename the file into a txt file.)

If you can't figure out the procedure above, give me your email privately and I'll send you a modified version of nvflash - all you'll have to do is run the program.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTDivot:
I'm trying this now - I'm stuck in the Tap n Tap logo loop.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Go to my page and look at "You bricked your gtab and now you are freaking out. "

http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/starthere.htm

The point is to wipe data before or after you nvflash. Data from your previous rom is interrupting the normal boot process of your current rom.

Just follow my procedure.

Added by edit.

If you already have CWM working, simply boot into CWM and wipe data. Then reboot system. If that doesn't work, wipe data and then nvflash. This will work for sure.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VTDivot:
Jackpot - although I didn't DL clockwork mod, I just ran this in apx mode:

For Windows users:	nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 clockworkmod.img

I then repartitioned and it worked

BTW - I wasn't even close to freaking out ;-)

I love the title of that thread LOL
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allenfx:
Ok well i pretty much have this fix set up and ready to go..but.

I am getting this error message.

1) Error: Winzip only supports IMG files that are in the ISO format. When i try to extract the recovery.img file.

Thinking that i didnt need to extract the file....i did the drop in and rename thing and i got the following error message during the NVflash. "file recovery.img not found" (or something like that. Obviously i just need some one to tell me how to extract the recovery.img in winxp (or what program to dl to do it).

I am 99% sure this will fix my current screwup partition/bootloop after an nvflash issue.

Thanks in advance (and please answer so i dont have to clutter up the page by starting a new thread asking for help).

Allen

Ok update. My screwup was that i had actually renamed the file "recover.img" and it should have just been "recovery". No extraction was necessary just my stupidity.

In the directions above it seems to indicate you rename the file as "recovery.img" but you dont. You leave the FILE AS "recovery" but and just type in "recovery.img" as the file name in step 9.

This work, and the flash completed. Then on reboot it started bootlooping again (as expected) but FINALLY..i was able to cwm and change the partitions to 2048 and 0.Whelp..now i am off to figure out what the deal is with the two different bootloaders and pick a honecomb ROM to install (went from TNT lite to vegan tab to vegan/gingerbread edition.

Any suggestions as to which honeycomb rom is the best?
[G2 and Desire Z General] comoba:
Hi everyone, i'll be going to USA, NYC for a week for the first time, and i'm wondering if i can get on 3G with my European Desire Z with a sim card from T-Mobile or AT&T, I want to be able to use gMaps to find all places i want to see and do some emailing, uploading photos etc.

also, which one should i choose (T-Mobile or AT&T)? i've read about the "goPhone" and "pay as you go" from AT&T but also the "Pay as you go data" plan from T-Mobile. researching this only gives me headace haha :p would be very happy if anyone could help me out with this (and where i get these prepaid sim cards, couldn't find that out anywhere either!).

but my main question is, as i said, will i be able to use 3G on my European DZ in the US?

i'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, i really am. if it is, can a mod please move it for me?
[G2 and Desire Z General] salemfox:
I went to Houston in March. I have an unlocked Desire Z & bought a SIMPLE Mobile SIM card a week before I left (http://www.ecrater.co.uk/p/7077857/simple-mobile-gsm-unlimited-sim) then I registered on the SIMPLE Mobile website & bought the $60 tarrif (unlimited domestic calls, international & local texts, and more importantly unlimited data) (http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Simple-Mobile-Plan.aspx) I then popped it in to my Desire Z upon landing in Atlanta & put my existing T-Mobile UK SIM card in my wallet until I landed back in the UK. Phonecalls & texts worked instantly when I turned my phone on. However 3G was a bit trickier. I Google (using free Wi-Fi) & found the SIMPLE Mobile 3G settings I needed:

Press the menu.

Tap Settings.

Tap Wireless Controls or Wireless & Networks.

Tap Mobile Networks.

Check that: "Data Roaming" and "Use Only 2G Networks" are both unchecked. ETap Access Point Names. Press the menu button.

Select New APN. Name: Simple Mobile APN: simple proxy: 216.155.165.050 Port: 8080 Username: [empty]

Password: [empty]

Server: [empty]

MMSC: http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMSProxy:[empty]

MMS Port: [empty]

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Type: [Not set]

and it was perfect for the time I was out there. I was tethering a whole household at one point, tethering my girlfriend's UK Blackberry (with UK SIM) while driving too. I would recommend it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] comoba:
Thanks for the tip!

I've never heard of "SIMPLE" before, so i'd like others to post their alternatives, so if anyone else have done this before and would like to share what they used (and how), I would be very happy.

If noone else comes up with an cheaper / better way, ill use it =)

E; saw that you need to put in zip-code on the tarrif page, i assume i type in my home zip-code (which doesn't work for me)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but SIMPLE mobile is owned by T-Mobile here in the US. They utilize the same bands/frequencies as Tmobile but operate as a Pre-Pay cell phone provider... No contracts required.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
well you gotta verify what 3g bands uses your european DZ, from what i know there a 850/1900 mhz version which would perfectly run 3g with at&t, and theres also a 900/2100 mhz version which i think it could run t-mobile's 3g, but you need to verify which is your version before buying a sim card, if not youll be stuck with edge (2G)

im almost sure your version is the 900/2100 one tho
[G2 and Desire Z General] salemfox:
Yeah T-Mobile, but I don't think they are owned by them, I think they're just a mobile virtual network operator like GiffGaf & Tesco do to o2 in the UK.

I was all over Houston, from The Woodlands to Galveston & worked perfectly. Also in New York & Atlanta. However, it is (by UK standards) a rather limited network http://www.mysimplemobile.com/Simple-Mobile-Coverage.aspx
[G2 and Desire Z General] comoba:
I think i read somewhere that the european dz would work all over the world sine it had support to all bands unlike the us one...

Anyhow how do i verify it?

Btw; what should i put as zipcode on the tarif page? Since its doesn't work with my Swedish zipcode (haha lol)
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
There is no phone that works for everything, everywhere. Where are you planning to use the phone? You'll have to be more specific, different countries use different bands for different things.

The European DZ has the following compatibility: HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz GSM: 850/900/1800/1900

You should check those against the bands used by the carriers in the country you are travelling to. http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

The Euro DZ has the correct GSM bands to work for voice and EDGE data in most parts of the world. But bands used for 3G vary greatly by country and carrier. If you are going to the US, you won't have 3G on any carrier. The only GSM carriers in the US are AT&T and T-Mobile. AT&T uses the WCDMA 850/1900 band for 3G. T-Mobile uses WCDMA 1700/2100.
[G2 and Desire Z General] comoba:
there should be :p

so if i have 900/1800 in sweden(like the rest of the world, expt america), does that mean i can't get 3G in the US? or what are you trying to say...? (:confused:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The 3G band compatibility of the Euro DZ (same model all across Europe, AFAIK) is WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz

This doesn't match either of the two US GSM carriers, AT&T (850/1900 MHz) and T-Mobile (1700/2100 MHz). So no, you cannot get 3G in the US with that phone.

Also, if you were going to ask, the 2100 MHz band (known as Band I) used in Europe is not the same as the 1700/2100 MHz (known as Band IV) used by T-Mobile. T-Mobile uses 1700 for upload, and 2100 for download, so you need both in order to have 3G on their network.

I only supplied the website to look up the country, in case you want to travel to other countries beside the US. The spec of the phone is what is important to look at, and whether that matches the country you are traveling to. Also, you are not looking at the chart correctly. 900/1800 for Sweden is for 2G/Voice. Sweden and most of Europe uses 2100 MHz for 3G (see the green column).
[G2 and Desire Z General] comoba:
i may not know much about this; but, if you say that you can't get 3G in the US with a DZ; how come others says they can, and have had (such as salemfox, who suggested "SIMPLE" sim card)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] comoba:
gonna need an answer on this one. (bump)
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
If you're reffering to "Simple Mobile", then no it still won't work, as they piggyback T-Mobile's network. Sadly there is no gsm carrier in the us that you could get 3g from, edge should still work though
