advice

DTS is not needed on a mobile device.....so if you want to watch a full movie on sgs2 you should convert the dts to ac3 with eac3to to save some considerbly big size of the file....then you would hace a hd video with good audio at acceptable size...i think the max video size played on our sgs2 is 4gb....have a nice day!:)

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2d4:
is it hardware accelerated? If not then no way
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] reggaemanu:
Sure, and even support multi-core decoding, as long as multitouch gesture controls, all vidéos formats, all srt formats, etc... :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jj03:
yep. mx is excellent. its my default player now.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2d4:
nice info, I still have mxplayer on my phone... thought dice was better maybe I'll do a test again myself.. thanks buddy :D
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] szomi:
mobo player is my favorit
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] petsasj:
I bought Dice Player the other day, and so far have not regretted it.

I watch a lot of 720p MKV's.

I installed MX Video Player with the ARM v7 codec out of curiosity, and it just doesn't keep up. I can upload a video if you want. It plays better than the ones mentioned in the OP but not as good as diceplayer, every 3-4 seconds it'll skip a frame.

So for me, dice player's the best.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] reggaemanu:
There's no need for this codec package on sgs2 (it's specified on the market page that you need it ONLY if mx player ask for it), just use stock mx video player and hardware decoding, there's no frame skipped for me, I never had a single file that didn't played smoothly.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2d4:
just tried a 4.9 GB 1080p H.264, AAC audio mp4 file...

and just comparing the two using hardware acceleration..

the dice player looks better to me.

Mxplayer has nicer UI though

I have text one number from my phone for months and thousand of messages at that, suddenly tonight in the middle of the conversation I can't get any text through to her. Says unable to send. I can mms her and she can text me. I can call her as well. I was on bamf gb 2.05. I have now restored back to the mr1 updated rooted only still can not text her. I have deleted the contact tried with and without 1 in front of the number. I can text any other number on the phone normally. Anyone have a clue since Verizon no longer offers 24hour support? How ****ed is that?
[Thunderbolt General] dark juggalo:
I'm having the same problem with my moms number....worked great,then bam...nothing tried taking the 1 off,it works occasionaly.

this only happened when I went to BAMF gingerRemix worked flawlessly w/other BAMF ROMs
[Thunderbolt General] strawnj:
Have you tried changing ROMs?
[Thunderbolt General] nepperz:
Since I went from gb back to stock I would say yes... Mysteriously started working again this morning...very odd it was like it was blocked...
[Thunderbolt General] BigMcGuire:
This happened to me for 6 hours one night. I couldn't receive any SMS but I could send. After 6 hours it started working again. If you google this issue, other people are having it. I don't think it is ROM related.
[Thunderbolt General] joshnichols189:
I don't think it's a TB issue.. I haven't experienced it on my TB, but I did experience it on my LG Voyager way back when..

Hey guys, I just got my sensation 4g today. Before I insert my sim into the sensation, I moved my apps to my sd card on my mytouch 4g. When I inserted my sd card from the mytouch into the sensation, my music and pics showed up and but not my apps that I saved to the sd card. Can someone help me please?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I'm guessing that even tho they're on your sd card, the new phone hasn't had the actual apps installed so it doesn't know what to do with all the info on the card.

Ok thank you.. I guess I'll use the sd card from the mytouch in my sensation

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Anyone else think that Ice Cream will make the NS seem outdated and slow compared to the newer phones of HTC like the DHD, Incredible S and Desire S which have better processors and more ram?

Thinking of actually getting an htc again because of this lol Given the choice would you trade for one of the newer htc phones because of superior hardware alone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Have fun waiting months for a update to it and using sense for ice cream

They do have more ram but the processor on the nexus s is way better than the snapdragon on these devices you mentioned.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
how so?

I'm having some difficulties running fruit ninja with wifi on and syncing in the background. Everything just slows down. Same when running music in the background and playing fruit ninja at the same time. Beginning to not like this phone :(

Running SuperAOSP overclocked to 1300 on demand
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bringonblink:

If anything it will make me love my phone even more!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
You think a phone without hardware and softkey buttons would be easy to use? I'm a bit of a skeptic. Always enjoyed having to press something at the front to check for notifications.

damn, I'm still undecided if I'm gonna keep the NS or get the dhd or IS. Would you guys do it if you could?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I'm using honeycomb right now and I love the screen keys. Don't judge it until you try it.

Its like, physical keyboard vs on screen keyboard.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
I guess, you were actually attracted by those HTC devices because of the hardware :D

However, most of us here in Nexus S community, we choose Nexus S because it is pure google android.

And so, we're able to create greater and greater kernel and rom.

Yes! DHD and IS with 768 ram is awesome!

BUT! please be remind that it drain battery very much as you tend to run more apps in background with such more free memory.

I think so far 512mb is sufficient as it is able to kill background empty apps automatically when ram is low.

You mention that you play ninja while wifi on and music playing, it will lack.

I have a few suggestion for you :)

1st, Get ANDMemory from the market, Run it at TOP SPEED optimization at auto.

(Or extreme if you want)

2, You can try Trinity Kernel 1.44, it will gives you more power :)

3, You can try to use less widget as they drain memory+battery.

Anything, you can just PM me and I am more than happy to help :D

Just for you info,

I run Fruit Ninja THD version (Not the normal version) with Chain Fire 3D, with 3G connection going on. No lack, smooth like butter :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
Ice Cream Sandwich wont make us outdate :)

We, Nexus S, as the google phone, will to get Ice Cream Sandwich OTA update once it roll out.

If you on HTC devices, Best of luck :P Look at what happen recently to HTC Desire? haha. What a joke!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
They're still getting the OTA. But the general idea is that, we as true "Nexus" users don't like relying on manufacturers to do their part by releasing a OTA of the next Android version.

We like our phones:

1. Unbloated

2. New Android OS the week its announced.

3. Easy to unlock bootloader

And I honestly think those three factors are significant selling points in terms to the hardcore Android user. We can't fight specs, they get better and better everyday. However, we could fight on the battlefield in terms of software.

Hardware changes everyday and becomes better.

Software changes every couple of months and as Nexus users, we're guaranteed to get the updates asap without waiting 6+ months for the next update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmall:
Smartphones have a life span of about 6 months these days. If you're lucky.

Unless you're content with the older software and hardware. But at the rate hardware is changing and the progression of software its hard to keep up to date without shelling out a bunch of cash every 6 months.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
I truly agree what you said! +10chars

1. Unbloated

2. New Android OS the week its announced.

3. Easy to unlock bootloader

And we can even lock the bootloader back to claim warranty :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p00kienrayray:
the latest nexus s will not be obsolete. heck, look at how relevant the nexus one has been even after the nexus s has been out. ppl still use the n1 as their daily device.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yup. Kinda like how the G1 survived forever, and I think the G1 is still pretty strong today. Not as strong as how it was one or two yearsa ago (maybe I'm wrong because I dont follow the G1 forums anymore) but its dev community made the phone for what it is. The developer community and the "community" using that particular phone makes the phone.. well.. THE PHONE!

The only thing obsolete are these new phones coming out with Android 2.2 still. Gingerbread (2.3) has been out since late last year (December). It's now July 16, 2011.. six months later. How many phones have gotten Gingerbread officially? That's right only less than ten devices. Who's obsolete now?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
What a stupid ass statement. 6 months? LOL
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmall:
Yeah.. they start reaching eol in about 6 months if you want to stay current/latest greatest. What's the nexus s at? Around 6? And I'm already considering dual (or more) core phones with better specs etc... in the very near future. Sure I could keep the nexus s for another 2 years, but I wont. Maybe you will.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
It's more of an Android problem. The current Nexus S isn't being maxed out at what's possible. The software always lags the hardware. All Android has had over the last year are devices with better hardware yet that hasn't really made a lick of difference in performance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] window7:
That's exactly the point! Looking back at each version of Android, For SGS, 2.2 and 2.3 have really significant imporvement! :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jasonhunterx:
Ice cream sandwhich will be hardware accelarated so i would think it will be much smoother an they said it doesnt matter how old ur phone is u will be able to run it so wait an see
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csmall:
I agree that the software doesn't take full advantage of current hardware but the whole industry seems to be moving at light speed hardware and software... we as consumers seem to be caught in the middle. Its cool that the technology is advancing so fast but sucks that we have to pay for it so frequently lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Faster hardware can give you a faster browser (5-10 secs) at least. That's the only thing that I feel the NS lacks at the moment compared to the newer phones.

The n1 has gingerbread installed but it already feels old and irrelevant and that's exactly what's going to happen when the new nexus comes out.

Btw, I'm experiencing a battery drain with handcent and BLN when I receive a text message in the evening and check the phone in the morning. 30-40% at least from handcent according to the battery usage. I have BLN and handcent pop-up on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meetagrawal:
The n1 is a 1.5 years old. At that point it's fine to start feeling a little outdated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Well, when you have those features on you will get partial wakelocks every time you get a message and your screen is going to drain the battery. I use Handcent and I always turn of the pop up notifications because I hate that the screen turns on even if the screen is locked and off. I always notice significant changes in battery life by turning these features off. No matter what device you have you will notice battery drain when using app features that cause partial wakelocks(and maybe even worse).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Screen turns off after a minute after the pop-up appears. It's the system that's eating up the battery. Anyway to tell handcent to go to sleep after a few minutes?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BinaryXeroMedia:
At the end of the day. Anyone who has an official Google phone like n1 and n's ect will get the update. After all it is Google's OS. Every one of Google's phones have had the updates as far as I know but all the other phones like sony Ericsson have made us wait for our update. They said we will have 2.3.3 not 2.3.4 which all phones that had 2.3.3 had are now on at the end of q2 but they will not be updating any further. £400 down the drain if you ask me. At least Google will keep updating THEIR phones.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
Ice Cream will make the NS feel brand new. I have almost no doubt about that. If Google comes through with HW acceleration, the PowerVR 540 GPU will scream. Look at the iPhone 4, smooth as hell with a x2 weaker GPU and pushing about 33% more pixels.

That said, the Nexus 3 will completely crush the Nexus S, and ill probably have it on day 1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymisery:
I have seen multiple posts on how there is a different screen from 002 to 003, but what about everything else? Whats the difference between 003 and 004 and what does each one entitle to being different? Does it matter if you are running 004 and put on a rom that doesnt say if its only for a certain version?

What i did was i rooted and installed myn's warm twopointtwo on my cousins 004 evo and now his camera will not work. Is this because of the hardware version or is it something different?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htown999:
What exactly is happening when you try to use the cam? does it crash and go back to the home screen or does it just have a white screen instead of showing the camera view?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htown999:
the main difference in the hardware version is the type of screen that you have (epson or novatek). I don't think that there are alot of differences other than that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymisery:
The camera will not start up most of the time and when it does it will be a black screen. It still has the interface to take pics, go to gallery and the settings menu but even if you take a picture its black
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
The Hardware version isn't a guaranteed indicator of which screen type you get; there are Novatec and Epson screens across all of the hardware versions.

The differences are subtle; slightly different material for the back cover, different height for the power button, etc. Hardware version 004 I believe does have a slightly different camera module though. Specs are the same, but it's a different model number. I don't know the exact model numbers specifically, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
What version of warm 2.2 are you installing? For 004 hardware it needs to be rls4 or rls5 as they will include the new camera drivers( most 004's have a different camera)

This is my fourth Android device, and it certainly has something wrong with the GPS. I agree... It is getting a good satellite fix, but sometimes the location is off by several hundred feet - way beyond typical GPS errors.

[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Dang (to put it mildly).

This is not the thread I wanted to see. I was out walking in NY yesterday and my Galaxy S again had me a block from my real location, with the compass spinning like a top. Few things piss me off at a phone more than flaky GPS when I really need it to work. I'm so hoping the Sensation will resolve this problem.

Please let these reports be some tiny minority, and fixable.
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
I drove in to work today (from Brooklyn to Manhattan), with the intention of testing the Sensation's GPS. The phone instantly picked up my location (GPS only, "use wireless networks" unchecked), and had the accuracy down to "within 50 feet" in a few seconds. During the drive, the only time it lost connection was when I was in the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. I found the GPS performance identical to the MT4G, which was excellent. Plain and simple, the Sensation's GPS capability works as it should.
