[Galaxy S II General] Sticks02:
Check if it has DTS audio, the S2 has some trouble playing DTS audio. You should probably convert the audio to AAC or get video files that don't use DTS.
[Galaxy S II General] NZtechfreak:
Yep, its probably DTS audio, in which case Diceplayer is what you need. Its well worth the price I think.
[Galaxy S II General] LightspeedGalaxy:
Most likely the audio-stream is encoded with DTS, which isn´t supported by the Galaxy S II.

It can play AAC, MP3 or AC3.

You can´t install any media-codecs on Android, like you can do it in Windows.

Obviously mediaplayers can bring their own decoders, but this means decoding on the CPU, which is slow and eats much more battery-power.

So it is best to encode the audio-stream in one of the supported formats
[Galaxy S II General] ssstoyanov:
Thanks everyone. I will purchase Dice Player, tested and the audio works great.
[Galaxy S II General] jojo2peter:
Lol, but dice player is lagging... tried to watch another movie with dice player.. it lagged again
[Galaxy S II General] LightspeedGalaxy:
You mean video and audio is not synchronous?

That´s because, it plays video and audio separately. Basically the Player uses the media-framework to play the video without sound, so it can use the DSP.

Then it plays the sound separately, using a built in software-decoder.

This most likely also means reading the file twice, although some caching maybe prevents the need to actually read it twice from the permanent storage.

So it is a quite inefficient way to play the video. The player doesn´t know the internal timings of the media-framework, so it doesn´t really know when to play the audio. But most players should allow to set a custom audio-delay.

It is also possible that there simply isn´t enough CPU-power left to do the decoding in software.
[Galaxy S II General] juami:
could you post your movie file info? and what is the diceplayer's version?

There are some known problems to play HD MKVs.

1. 24bit Flac Audio is not supported

2. microsd card class ( transfer rate ) issue.

3. Wrong MKV time stamp issue.
[Galaxy S II General] juami:
i think that lag is not sync problem.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gena9995:
Hello,

In my DHD when i quit or switching modes i hear weird sound from the camera...

What is the problem?

And sometimes when the phone vibrate i also hear weird noise.

Also how do i make Launcher pro as default?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartgig:
The sound is related to the camera lens and is normal, but there should not be any noise with vibration.

After installation when you press home key it asks which program to use to open, check the 'use as default' button and select luancher pro.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chezdaddy:
When I connect my HTC Desire (I've had it with custom ROMs and the stock ROM) to my PC in any mode, my external hard drives stop functioning.

My phone does not connect properly and my 2 western digital USB hard drives stop working. I cannot use either one of the devices until I disconnect either the hard drives or the phone.

I'm currently on Windows 7 (64-bit), i5, MSI P55-UD2, 4 Gb RAM

Has anybody had similar experiences?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bradshort:
Can't say i have, very strange. May be a conflict on the USB ring, irq etc but i would expect a full on freeze or BSOD with that. Try downloading the drivers again and see if that helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chezdaddy:
The weird thing is that when I disconnect my phone I do not have to reconnect the drives or anything. They just simply start working again.

Thanks for the tip. I will try it anyway but I do not think that it has anything to do with the android driver.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kohkohnut:
Hi All,

I know that there are many ways to get the status bar to show the battery status in percentage but all of them are kinda too complicated for my liking. Is there any way I can get it done without having to flash? Perhaps through an app?

I am on stock GB 2.3.3(JV9) rooted with speedmod installed.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kohkohnut:
help anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oleguy:
download battery circle from market
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DaRkMyk:
I also don't like to do some icon mods, how about you try the Battery Indicator app?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.darshancomputing.BatteryIndicator

it won't replace your battery icon though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] syamsoul:
for me..the simplest way it through uot kitchen

[Galaxy S I9000 General] kohkohnut:
Thanks for the suggestions, but I am actually looking for something to replace the original batttery bar, instead of adding another one on the status bar.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xCTRL:
I would like to know a way for this too, to replace the original battery with one that had the percentage in it: D

Just had a new ota dock update but still have the same number ep101-0209 anyone had the same or know what is for.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 3DSammy:
There is another thread on this same topic. The general conclusion was that there is no new update. It may be something wrong with the OTA update process. Even if a download and install was done if you your dock already had ep101-0209 then nothing changed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
I had the same thing, I'm the one that started the other thread. One thing to note though, before that mysterious update my dock was draining at 4% per hour with wifi off and tab asleep before, now I'm at 1-2% per hour with wifi off so something seems to have been fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulGG:
Sorry should have checked for other posts, mine was also draining whilst docked, will check to see if there has been an improvement, would be nice to think it was a fix they implemented in their lasted batch, that is maybe being fixed on the older versions.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
Did you find out if the update helped with dock battery drain?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulGG:
Yes mine is vastly improved I would say mine now drains about 10% in 8 hours with tablet docked and wifi left on. Battery life seems to be improving with more charges. As I said in the other thread on battery drain on the dock. For the features it adds for the extra £50 I paid bundled I can find no fault with the dock, it is superb value, addedbattery life,sd cardand 2 usb ports, brilliant. I can understand all the frustration with those who want the perfect notebookand tablet combo. Android has only just been approved by google for tablets let alone for netbooks, here you have a fast solid state drive device which works great for the first of its kind. I would be suprised if more than a few thousand out of the hundreds of thousand sold actualy get returned. I am gobsmacked by the rants on this forum, and only discovered my ipad had light bleed by sitting in a dark room watching a black screen, and that was after owning it 12 months, sheep came to mind lol. Asus have given us more than any other tablet manufacturer.

Maybe all these guys who are on their 4th or 5th TF should give up and stick to apple, where you can take it back every week under apple care:)

Perfect tablet ipad? whoops even that has light bleed, if you want to find it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
Let us know what dock models and country origin got this update notice? B5/B6? US/Canada/China?

Hey there i sent my phone to repair i have just got it back from M blue HTC repairs.

my problem is they say the usb wont sync to comp but it charges now apparently i need a new mobo for the phone which would cost like to buy a new one probs... :(

anyway at 1st i tried sending it back to htc because they say it has a 24 month warranty.

i got it back and they say its not under warranty cos of water damage!!!!!!!!!

now would that affect the usb port goosing up????:S iv never had it near water i take real care of it!.

So anyway i had to get rid of hspl and install a stock winmo rom, just because i thought they would say iv messed with the software to install android, something that s not in there terms of conditions..... so now im stuck with a phone i have a ******* win mo stock ROM no hspl no magldr and cwm and no android!!!!!!!!!.

is there any way i can install hspl from sd card?????? to install magldr and cwm to revive android back!!!! might aswell be useless using winmo 6.5 sheesh!:(

Thankyou

Robertojimbobcrofto.
[HD2 General] stolo66:
Water Damage?!

I had exactly the same problem, as have many, many others.

Sent my HD2 in to get the USB port fixed; came back 4 days later, untouched, with a note saying there had been 'water ingress' resulting in 'warranty void'! No charge this time - we have photos to prove it.

I spent a lot of time chasing HTC for answers (it wasn't until my fourth or fifth call that they suddenly remembered; 'actually, we DO have a complaints department, it's just not many people know about it'???!!!).

Why were they now saying my phone was 'damaged'? The phone is fine apart from the USB port. Must have gone through at least 6 people and TOO many different stories, but HTC really dug their heels in.

In my opinion, HTC realise they have a problem with some, if not all, HD2 handsets. Too many people have EXACTLY the same problem! IT IS NOT COINCIDENCE - search the forums; google the problem it is a flaw that WE have to pay for.

Has left a very bitter taste in my mouth.
[HD2 General] satan!:
At a feather to an insertion official ROM it will be restored HSPL and it will be killed magldir.

It can be executed with SD-card

Before an insertion I recommend to format SD-card.

ps. If I have correctly understood that you go to make.
[HD2 General] htccraze:
I would call back up and speak to them again. i couldnt tell you how many times i've talked 2 one person & they told me "oh well im sorry but we we cant do anything 4 you" then i hang up & call right back & get the responce i like. saved me $480 on my credit card once...anyway off subject sorry. lol.

if the water damage stickers are not red/pink then i would ask for a supervisor 2 talk about how they came up with the idea of it being water damaged & adamantly insist that it has never seen the likes of water & the markers are not pink or red.

i've also heard of ppl who bring they're phones in the bathroom while they take a hot shower & the slight condensation/steam causes a false possitive for water damage.
[HD Mini General] baggino:
I find that my mini does not have a wi-fi high performance. And 'I have only my problem has already been noticed by others. I think slow and not very sensitive. is a problem to send in for service? :o

thanks
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
what makes you think so?

slow and not very sensitive it can be because of your internet connection

and by the way...when you are asking for help you need to give more details
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
Slow can be if your signal strength isn't good. Try to get closer to the router. Neither has it gotten the N-protocol and only B/G so that's slower...
[HD Mini General] baggino:
the sea, the beach at signal wi-fi, my mini has struggled to tune the signal, while the phone to my son, Acer F900, which I think a lot less than my mini, tune the signal very well. That's why I ask how is your htc.
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
That's possible, because the WiFi chip is another one, and the placement can be better in the Acer maybe...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anndalis:
Hi,

My phone i9000 suddenly started to do weird things!

It automatically free up all my memory few seconds when the phone goes into sleep.

So all the apps shuts down and free memory back to level same as when I 1st boot.

When I have a phone call and screen goes off I lose voice till I press the home/on key to turn on the screen then the voice resume.

I haven't installed any new apps except Google+

I tried uninstall it, same thing

tried rebooting with same results

I'm running Juwe's RAM Script

with Semaphore's kernel

Stock ROM JVH 2.3.3

I have NO Autokiller/Task killer apps installed

But I'm using the kernel and script for more than 2 weeks now

the issue started only yesterday... All memory get freed up when screen goes off..

Any advise ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peugeot206wrc:
I think its a bug for your modded ROM. Try install stock ROM and see will it do again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anndalis:

The latest Viber update is the cause of that issue..

As soon as I uninstalled it and rolled back to the previous version, everything back to normal ...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drussthelegend:
Hello Streakers! (even if it really really true... I'm not judging ;))

I am trying to decide if I should splurge on a Streak or not. Granted, it has a unique form factor unmatched by any handset currently available in the market. But with the plethora of new device coming out, some of them with double the technical specifications of the Streak, would you have Streak owner still make the same decision today?

The Streak was never officially released here in the Middle East; the only available models were being sold in the 'grey market'; they were being sold at exorbitant price. It just was not economically justifiable. Now, I got an option to get my hands on a second hand set - still at a somewhat expensive price. So now I have to ask you guys, do the Dell Steak satisfy still the sweet spot today as it did the day you brought it.

If I am to spend this much money on the Streak, I want it to last for another 2 years - from toady.

The 5" screen is so inviting. I want to converge all my online interactions to one device. Even if casually browsing the internet at the end of a hard day, while in bed. I don't want to pinch to zoom or excessively scroll because the screen is too small...

Thats why the Streak has been at the back of my ming for so long; pushing the boundaries between portability and useabilty!

So how do you guys rate the Streak? Do you still love it now that the honeymoon period is over? Is the build quality good? Hardware failure? Why is it so recommended that you buy an Otterbox casing?

I think it is safe to assume there are stable roms available a plenty? Truthfully, this will be my first Android device... (yeah, I know - great! Another noob is in the house...) I will start reading up on rooting, unlocking bootloaders, flashing...

but, if I do end up asking some silly questions; please find the patience to indulge me. I would really appreciate it! :)

Anyone got any 'stories' to share, given that the Streak is such a huge device, it must have raised a few eyebrows when attending to a phone call...

The rated call time and standby time mentioned looks good on paper; and I know, in Android it all depends on how you use the phone; but compared to other handsets - not person to person mind you; but the same person, same usage pattern but different handset - how would you rate the streak?

If you guys have any more titbits to share that will sell me on this device to me, go ahead! :)

I really do want this phone, but I am feeling somewhat cautious. This is a unique phone, so I want to know if it satisfies all your needs...

Thanks for your indulgence and hopefully, I will become a new member in the Streak forum soon!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosada:
My last phone has been a Samsung Galaxy S2. before that i have had a ZTE Blade and the Galaxy S. If i had to pick one now to keep it for sure would be the streak.

There are positive and negative things about it.

What i absolutely love about the streak is the battery, for me the streak is the only device that can last more than a day using it as what it is, a smartphone. Even with the display on, wifi and gps enabled it lasts easy a day. Try this with other devices. The battery on my SGS2 never lasted that long. The display is great, not as good as the one of the SGS2 but still good enough to use it even in sunlight.

The downside by my opinion. It is big, really big. It is heavy. It does not have the as much power as the SGS2 does. Sometimes it takes a second to switch the screen orientation. Does this really matter? It annoyed me at the start but now i simply don't care.

Your question answered short, yes i would buy it without a doubt again if i brick mine, if it gets stolen or something else happens to it. Even if there are devices out there with better specifications
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Final5k:
Well, if you are a tech-guy who likes new phones with fast processor, the D.Streak is not for you since the dual-processor devices are definitely more powerful. But if you want a phone/tablet with which you will browse websites/watch photos & movies/listen to musics/play games and that you are NOT expecting the Streak to be a super-device, then you can definitely consider it.

I come from 4.3inches phones and I had doubts before buying the Streak. First, it was due to the form-factor - many websites say that it was not pocketable!!!!! This is totally bullsh*t as the Streak fits comfortably in my jeans/trousers/pants without any problem....well unless you wear a really tight jean, then it will not fit in. I also don't find it to be heavy as I hold it without any difficulty but if you are used to very light phones, then you may find it to be tough to hold.

Then, I was skeptical since many people say that it hangs/freeze and that it was fragile/break easily. But I can say that the official roms are really stable and I did not encounter any problems that users tend to describe here on the forums.

You were asking about the use of the Ottebox - then the reason is pretty simple : As you mentioned the Streak is a bit expensive, then it is normal that you protect your investment from any damages. If the Streak falls on the ground, the glass or anything inside have a high chance to be damaged in the process. With an Otterbox, you minimize the risk your phone will break, but still it's a 50/50 chance depending on the way/height/force/angle the phone will land on the ground. So better have it protected from unexpected falls........but if you are used in dropping your previous phones, then it's cautious to say the Streak will not survive many falls.

Regarding your question if it may last 2 years, then it's a big NO. By 2013 or even by the end of this year, there will be more phones with better screens that will be more powerful than the Streak and I'm sure you'll try to switch for another one. Most importantly, since the Streak does not have a good camera, this will probably be the main reason to switch to a device with a screen of 4.5-5 inches but with a better camera/processor.

At present, I still like my 2 months old Dell Streak and although I am planning to change device soon, it still serves its purposes. My biggest satisfaction is that browsing websites is definitely a joy and since the screen is large, typing using the virtual keyboard is extremely easy and fast. Watching movies/photos is very pleasant and people are always surprised when they see my device.

Lastly, every phone has its advantages/disadvantages as there is actually no perfect device, and it is best if you weight the pros/cons to ensure if it will serve your needs. The Dell Streak 5 is not a device for everyone due to its size/specifications and one must definitely like large screen phones to really appreciate its form factor. It will be better if you can try it before buying - Otherwise, you might end up to be disappointed afterwards.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Troute:
What the Streak does now it will do just as well in two years time - you need to decide what it is you want from a device and if the Streak fits the bill then buy it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drussthelegend:
Thanks for all your feedback!

Its a relief to see satisfied users who choose to stick by their product.

@Final5k: thanks for your honest answer. True, by the end of this year better specs phone will come out, but I can take refuge in the fact the Nexus S is similarly spec'd so the Streak will not become obsolete due to hardware constraints. In time Icecream Sandwich may be ported over!

Your selling points of the Streak are exactly why I want it. A device I could converge to for all my needs when I am on the move.

Even if it gets left behind by a new device, it'll still be functional. I have never been about the latest or the greatest. Neither am I comfortable being an early adopter. As long as the core functionality is still achievable, I think feel content.

One of the plus points is that the Streak is mature, so there are solution to most problem face by noobs doing something wrong. Also the guides available are more detailed as you people had more time to understand it and pass on the knowledge.

If anyone else feels like like giving a shout out, go ahead.

Thanks guys for sharing your opinions...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
I love mine, the reason I got it was for the big screen, and I don't think I could have a phone now with a smaller screen, 5" to me is just right. Fits in your pocket perfect even really tight skinny jeans. any bigger and it wouldn't. So its the perfect size. Camera isn't the best, but works good in daylight. People say the screen breaks without even dropping it, which I think is bull****, I've dropped mine a few times and the last time I dropped it was from about 1 and a half metres and the lcd did break and leak. But thats quiet a distance really, don't think many phones would survive that. But bought a new screen from ebay for about £28 and replacement was easy. I'm looking forward to what dell can muster up next year when I'm ready to upgrade my phone.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alahdal:
I too love mine even with its current situation "it does not recognize sim card" I keep it at home and use it instead of my company laptop and I am really missing. Now, I am thinking either to wait for the new model in 2012 or purchase another streak to last for 2-3 years. Although the number of mobiles I own is little, but I have never used or owned a device like streak. Really, if I decided to purchase another mobile it should be Streak2. Noway to go back to a smaller screen. I am using my streak to browse, email, citrix (to access company application such as SAP and this is rarely), youtube, etc... etc...

Simply it is the best phone/tablet. Frankly, I love it.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drussthelegend:
It's really cool! It seems that all streaker swears by their screen size; & no one is prepared to downgrade to a smaller screen. :)

The single defining feature is the most beloved. How come no one else capitalized on it?

I have been hitting up review on Youtube... can't resist anymore... :)
