[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
Depends.. Currently it's definitely impossible since the lack of APIs. All connections would have to go through an internet server. Thus there'd be way too much lag in order to control a car or airplane. Mango will bring loads of new APIs which hopefully support PC connections via bluetooth or wlan. With such connections an app like the one you desired should be possible.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtb_kng:
Just giving this thread a bump, will Mango allow for such an app to be created?
[Defy General] -Zeppelin-:
Hi there,

I experience a weird problem with my Defy that noone else seems to have.

Sometimes my Defy just won't come back from Standby, the Screen stays black. The Touchbuttons at the bottom get luminated if I press the On/Off button, and you can see that the backlight of the screen works as the screens turn into a lighter shade of dark ( ;) ), but still the screen stays black. I know that the phone stays on, as I get haptic feedback by long pressing the Off button.

I had my phone at datrepair for the issue and it came back with a standard Froyo (DACH Retail), but as soon as I flash to other Roms like CM7 or other Froyo builds, voila there it is, screen blacking out from time to time.

Until now I didn't find anyone with that problem, but perhaps any of you guys knows a solution for that problem, as I'm very keen to use CM7, since the Rom is just fabolous. I just don't have the nerves to solve the black screen by removing the battery and inserting it back again every single time it turns up...

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
I know you think why am I opening another full body skin thread.

So it doesnt get lost in the mix I thought you might want to know about the skin I just got. It is made by eXtreme skins. It is a full body skin for the sensation. It is exactly like the original Zagg skin. It went on Perfectly.

The best part is that it was $5 free shipping!

So if your looking for one, go to their web site. No I am not a spokesman, and I am not getting any benefit. I just like to share when I get an awesome deal on device accessories.

[HTC Sensation] DaDoctor:
http://tinyurl.com/3hpf8q3 << This what ur talking about?

I got it aswell and its been great so far. But it isnt a max coverage! So Zagg and Phantom still are better but are much more expensive.
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
Yes thats what I have. Dont need any more coverage than that anyway. Those little small strips and extra crap coverage that Zagg gives you peel off anf fall off anyway. Front and back is all you need imo.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ectan4413:
Hi, anyone out there who has encountered a problem playing youtube videos through the stock browser or any other browser when signed in to your Youtube account? I only noticed this problem after upgrading my firmware to KC2 for my Galaxy Tab P1010. Youtube app can play everything even when signed in. In the browser, I have to sign out first from my account before I can view any video. The problem is, I can't view any of my subscriptions.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenccw:
Before people start coming in to flame me for using the search button, please let me clarify that i have looked into several threads on xda and none of them provided me with a clear cut answer of what i wanted to know.

I understand first of all is that nandroid backup is a complete image of what is on the phone which should include stuff like settings, sms, call logs, data etc. What i have not found, however, if they keep other files that are lying around in the phone. For example, most of my Nexus S consists of videos and music (7-10GB) and in separate folders that are not tied to any apps in particular. Hence, if they are included in nandroid backup i would not have sufficient storage to do so (reminder that Nexus S has 16 GB)

I have "accidentally" posted on the galaxy S forum of xda and someone pointed out that it backs up apps and data from the internal SD. As far as i know this is slightly different with Nexus S because i observed that most apps are already installed in the "external" SD portion of the data.

Overall, i'm just a little confused. Can anyone clarify this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jark99:
It is just apps and data. The sd card is i believe split so that it doesnt touch your music, videos, and images. It just takes care of the main system stuff like apps and settings. Hoped i helped :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenccw:
But aren't most apps on the nexus S installed on the sd card section of the storage? At least they are under Settings->Application settings->Manage applications->USB Storage

For example my Gameloft games would be almost 1 GB in size so would that be backed up as well. I will end up with gigantic nandroid backups.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hostile89:
A nAnroid backup includes

.android_source - apps2sd information/apps stored on /sdcard

boot - boot image

cache - cache files stored on /cache

data - apps, dalvik other stuff on /data

recovery - recovery image

system - system apps, frameworks modules etc on /system

nadroid.md5 - md5 information

nandroids do not include anything on the /sdcard other than .android_source.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciwek90:
how to do it? by using CWM?? am i wrong or correct??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Correct.

Flash ClockworkMod.

(You might have to rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to get it to stick.)

Boot into fastboot (volumeUp+ power).

Recovery - Backup and Restore - Backup.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciwek90:
Awesome! but if i want to flash custom rom and i do backup first then i flash new custom rom, so i can get back all my apps by restoring nandroid backup is it? or nandroid backup is only for when things went wrong? i confuse...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Nandroid is basically all or nothing. There is an advanced restore which can restore only the partitions you want (like system or data), but it probably won't play nicely with a custom rom. Your best best is to use titanium backup for user apps & data, and perhaps some select system data like texts, bookmarks, and wifi settings. Check out the batch backup/restore options for user apps & data.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Nandroid backup backs up everything including the rom... so NO you can't restore apps with it.

To just save apks/apps you use eg Titanium Backup.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciwek90:
NOW i know it! Thank you so much @Maximilian Mary and @rentaric for helping me!

Nandroid = for backup/restore previous rom

Titanium = for backup/restore data & apps

Thanks again! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heyimCHOLO:
Bro, does nandroid backup include the IMEI also?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Some recoveries have this option buy many don't, just boot to your recovery and see if it is listed as an option, if not, then no
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdog222:
Your apps will still be on your sd card because your just restoring your operating system that you had with all of it settings it will show all of your apps you had but if you deleted it from the sd card when you try opening it it would say app not installed. Nandroid backup saves everything in settings and operating system apps will be on sd card. Some apps can be included in nandroid it just depends where they are located when back up is saved.
[Android Apps and Games] WhoDunnit:
I recently released an unlocker for the Need For Speed SHIFT game in the android . Turns out some people have issues with the unlocker, because they have different locations of the NFSS game files.:(

I think I have now covered all possible installation locations, but just to make sure: Are there any NFSS players out there that want to check the Unlocker for me? I am specifically interested in people running the game on a Samsung GT-P1000 or a Samsung Captivate, but if you have Android device with a known strange location for Need For Speed SHIFT game files, you're very welcome too.:D

If you want to test the unlocker, please PM me and tell me what device you have.

Thanks!

What exactly does the video format support by the 10.1? I tried installing .avi, .mpeg and I wasn't able to play the videos. Most of the .avi are Blueray copies. Or anyone know a good video converter for Mac?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ZOEpilot16:
use handbreak to convert your .avi files , i do know that the galaxy tab 10.1 plays nice with .mp4 files

good luck
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dulaney22:
I second this. You can stream .avi from your computer if you prefer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rainby:
moboplayer provides a bunch of soft-decoding codec ,which will take care of most video if hardware-decoding won't work. just try this app first and see if that helps .
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ofcsu1:
You can also use rock player to play AVI files and such.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] beaker2007:
I've used both the stock & mobo (haven't tried rock yet, I'll have to give it a shot), & the stock player plays just fine with h.264 & mp4. In fact, I played the exact same video on both, & I thought the picture looked the best on the stock player. Of course, that requires you to re-encode most likely, which kinda defeats the purpose of having the avi encapsulation in the first place... up to you in the end--let us know how it works out.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] OrionBG:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoodoomagic:
Download Handbrake then go to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

You can follow the directions or simply download and import the 720p high profile preset.

If you want to stream video, a combination of uPnPlay (free in market), moboplayer and ps3 media server has worked fairly well for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] OrionBG:
We don't want to re-encode! We want to play! Other less powerful devices can play almost everything without re-encoding! Why can't the Tegra2 do it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
To reencode is missing the point. It's a clip I encoded for a video survey in the Xoom forum. No Tegra 2 tablet can play it smoothly. You can blame poor NVidia driver, HC's beta-ness, or the crummy Tegra 2. That's just the way it is.

BTW, 1080p high profile is simply not in the Tegra 2 specs, drivers notwithstanding. If you want 1080p HP, buy another tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
BTW, the entire suite of clips used for the survey is here. Tegra 2 (on 3.1) can play 720p HP and 1080p BP. On the Xoom, the stock player is hard-capped to 1080p BP. If you play MP or HP, the stock player will error out or crash.

http://www.mediafire.com/?depxt4zyvpwel
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoodoomagic:
That is something you'll have to ask Nvidia and Google, I don't know the answer to that.

However, transcoding will guarantee the video to work. And you can queue up files in Handbrake and walk away.

So, you can either complain on forums, or use the solution presented and watch 720p high profile video on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LordLugard:
You don't need or have to convert anything really (maybe except mkv's) if you just use MoboPlayer to watch them.

If you prefer to use the Gallery to watch videos, then it's best you convert to mp4 files.

On my Mac i have a myriad of converters, from VisualHub (no longer in development), Handbrake (free), WinX HD Video Converter, my three regulars.

There are tons out there.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sunlimited:
i've been having trouble with a 720p x264 file about 1.2GBs.

the video plays but it is very laggy/choppy and the audio isnt in sync with the video playback.

i've checked that the files played fine on my computer.

should i convert these files too?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Denil Wong:
Thank you all for your great tips. Will definitely try it out when I get the chance to this evening. Highly appreciate it guys! CHEERS!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Metzenw:
Regardless of whats being said over at the Xoom fourm, the GST as of now can only play back 720p/1080p H.264 Base Profile, smoothly. So far from my tests the GST doesn't support AC3 Audio, so the stock player will not play it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134811&highlight=Poot+Video

I started this thread and there is useful information in it in relation to H.264 playback on the GST.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoodoomagic:
HC 3.1 supports 720p high profile and I haven't had any problems using the Handbrake settings posted over at the TF forum.

In that thread I've seen people trying to solve some judder problems with certain clips, but tbh I'm not a video guru and the conversation is over my head. But as I've said, I have yet to experience that for myself even with movies with lots of action and fast camera pans.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Hiro666:
I had just about given up hope trying to find the right combination of settings via Handbrake to encode my DVDs so they would play smooth on my GTab. I have come close but just hadn't hit it. I then downloaded your clip from your link - 1280 baseline - and was pleasantly surprised by not only the absolute smooth playback but by the picture quality.

I have since tried your VDisc_023 but the playback isn't absolutely smooth. It is close but not quite there.

So here's my question, can you supply either the change I need to make in VDisck_023 (I noticed it is set to High, perhaps just changing it to Base?) to equal your 1280_Baseline Avatar clip I mentioned above or the complete settings I can use in the GUI Handbrake interface? If I had my choice, I would prefer using the GUI but at this point, I will take what I can get! :)

Thanks so much for showing me I can get smooth playback with a terrific picture!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seansk:
i use freemaker. much better easier and faster than handbreak give it a try
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Hiro666:
Tried it and was not happy with the quality of the output. I was seeing too much... don't know the technical term is but I call it blocking. I really liked the easy interface and how you can easily cut scenes to convert but...

[HTC Incredible S] WarningU2:
Hi I'm a NOOB (btw loved the video) and have a couple of questions of the SME's here that I haven't been able to find an answer already posted here.

I just purchased a HTC Incredible S phone. Love the phone BUT ... I sync'd music using the HTC software with WMP v11. Now for some reason it didn't copy all my music over, although its all setup legitimately in WMP. I was able to move the files over doing a copy/paste once I found the correct host folder on the HTC drive. The missing files play now. What WON'T play are what I suspect are WMA DRM protected audio files. And I have read here they won't.

I'm curious why? I have an old Sony Walkman and it's software imports the DRM license to play on that device fine so whats missing from this "incredible" phone?

Is the only way of getting them to play is to convert to MP3 (stripping them of the license)?

I found this //drm-removal.net/player-tips/transfer-itunes-m4p-music-to-htc-evo-desire.html product that does that. Does anyone have any experience with this?

It bothers me that I need to remove a valid license to play this music. I would have hoped that the smart phone would have been as smart as the Sony Walkman for this ;)
[HTC Incredible S] WarningU2:
Guess I'll answer my own question for the benefit of others. I ended up purchasing DRM Removal from iSkySoft and it did the trick. Easily creates MP3's for you from your WMA files and has conversion feature for video to play on the HTC phones too ... added bonus it formats to the correct resolution for your phone too. (I don't work for the company ... just trying to help others as there seems to be a lot of questions at this forum but seldom answers... and as I'm not permitted to post the URL please PM if you want it or google it.)
