Great app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mjm128:
Thanks! It fixes my issue with some videos not stretching the whole way so i'd have black bars on the top/bot and the sides! I wonder what other video player apps there are that might work. I definitely like this over the honeycomb gallery player.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jarllax:
Gonna try this, thanks. Mobo player works well most of the time but has it's hickups still.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xbs:
Sry for the OT but i install this on my TF101 and it's working great, only problem is that only plays what stock plays... Is there a way to use an external player like mobo or vitalplayer?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jarllax:
As someone else mentioned it only really plays what the stock player plays and doesn't really have much in terms of options. Sticking with Mobo Player for now. Thanks for your work though. :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mikemol:
Hi,

Can anyone who had Toshiba Thrive test out if it plays videos on wifi from a network share like a network hard drive or from a shared folder on a networked computer without first coping the whole movie to the tablet?

I tried Acer Iconia, Morotolla Xoom and not matter what file manager or video player I used, they all first start coping a movie to the tablet and only after that they start playing. I also have Acronis 101 and that one doesn't copy videos and opens them right away and starts playing.

Also can you read external hard drives in NTFS format when connecting it to the USB port on the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] smaskell:
we're missing some libraries that we need to get DLNA working. it's looking for jnidhsdk, but can't find it. can you look in /system/lib/ on the toshiba and see if there's anything that might look useful?

better yet, if you could just extract the whole folder, I'll have a look myself.

Thanks,

Sam
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jnn1:
A roundabout solution is to use the Plex app to stream movies stored in your pc/mac on the GT10, though it will set you back 5 dollars.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Jnn1:
And thanaks to the OP for the toshiba media player which is quite neat.

Any chance you could also port the toshiba file manager, which I hear is quite good too?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xbs:
Is Acronis 101 an app? Or a tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mikemol:
Archos 101 is a tablet. Bad viewing angles, low memory but is light and cheap. It's on Froyo but it can see FAT and NTFS drives and opens any video from network drives shared over wireless network.

They have just announced new tablets on Honeycomb that will cost $279 for 8.1 inch and $349 for 10.1 inch and they will both have 1.5 GHz dual core CPU. both will come with 16 Gb flash memory but for $50 more you can order the same model with 250Gb SSD that is only 3 mm thicker than the same model with flash memory. Also they have full size USB port and you can buy a $49 USB 3G stick for your own data plan. That stick completely hides in the tablet and doesn't stick out and you can use it on your laptop/computer as well. I think I'm going to wait till september and buy one then.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] xbs:
:) I used to have a Archos 101 Gen8 before i sold it to buy a Transformer... their (Archos) Music/Video players are awesome, if only the TF could stream from SMB and with subtitles.

The "Acronis" was what got me lost :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mikemol:
Acronis was a typo, I use both and guess my fingers typed it automatically when I meant the tablet.

Well, for the new tablets they are planning on getting a better screen. If they put 1Gb or ram I'll buy it. The old one had very little ram so it kept crying for low memory when installing apps. But multimedia side of it was great. So far I haven't found that on any Honeycomb tablets.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbeelzebub:
Worked for me instantly and picked up my TVersity Media server without issue. Playback was perfect, but I do wish there was a way to adjust the app to access my home network when away. I'm not a fan of Plex... I prefer TVersity.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] frnkjul:

[Acer Iconia A500] matrix.bharath:
Hi I m confused as no update is coming as of now for Acer Iconia a500 for 3.1 in India. is it because im rooted the device? should i unroot it to get the update please help some one Thanks in advance :)
[Acer Iconia A500] sammyboy405:
I have a Similar Question.. Im In the US though.. But I have the stock rom.. Not modified.. But it is rooted with the Gingerbreak app...

Does this need to be undone to get the update.. or are updates still enabled with it being rooted?
[Acer Iconia A500] simonsgray:
Same here in Canada. No OTA notification, rooted stock 3.01.
[Acer Iconia A500] dcoy82:
I was rooted when I received my notification. If you don't want to lose root and are sick of waiting on the update please see this post to flash the official OTA using CWM:

ROM - Stock 3.1 4.010.07 - Update with CWM
[Acer Iconia A500] brutalpanda:
I was able to receive an OTA before when I was rooted (not 3.1 though) so it's most likely that the update is not available in your regions yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] Sledutah:
Same here, update was only 29mb (still 3.01). Lost root, rerooted with gingerbreak after the update. Waiting for 3.1

[General Questions and Answers] zapito:
Which one is better? Please give reasons, cheers :p
[General Questions and Answers] r0ottm:
Dont go to x8 whole system is full of SE *** which makes it unuseable so unless youlike its design very much I suggest u lgoo.
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
I dunno, I do not really like both.

Problems: the SE and LG...I do not like any of those brands.

Have you consider Galaxy I5800 or Wildfire?
[General Questions and Answers] zapito:
Thanks both, i've not considered the galaxy, now im looking for some information, and Wildfire i think is not in my country (I'm from Argentina)
[General Questions and Answers] r0ottm:
I think he doesn't care about brand. I wouldnt't pick Galaxy I5800 cus its the same like lgoo but has worse display.And wildfire (if you dont mean Wildfire S) is the worst he can buy (qvga and no possibility to run any 3d game)
[General Questions and Answers] zapito:
So, in many ways, the LGOO it's way better than xperia x8 ?
[General Questions and Answers] r0ottm:
I think so.
[General Questions and Answers] fredal:
I am using X8 and install froyobread v22. It is quite stable.

For LG, which some people call it Lousy Goods.

Hm. so your choice.
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
I'm using the LG optimus t which is just like the optimus one. and I gotta say that for an entry level phone, its pretty sweet, especially after u root and flash and do all that stuff. it feels like I have a high end phone
[General Questions and Answers] jyhjyj:
Um both of them are low end phone.. but if i were you i would buy Lgoo. because it has android froyo.. but this Is just my opinion:)
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
i know its low end. i said that after you root, flash, etc, it

feels

like a high end phone
[General Questions and Answers] DaXmax:
I prefer lousy goods, cuz it has better performance, n multitouch.... Well the x8, is jus the design, no multitouch n such...
[Xperia Play General] TheMathMan:
1. Whats it like as a wireless hotspot, my Galaxy S2 is flaky at best with lots of dropouts?

2. Can it play avi files out of the box, and if not, whats playback like in Moboplayer, any sync issues?

3. What sort of games are currently available in the PS store?

4. Hows the camera?

5. Has anyone loaded Google Music and streamed their music?

Thanks all!!
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
This is just personal experience, but YMMV.

1. Wireless hotspot has worked great for me. I hook my iPad up to it when I'm at my grandparent's house and there's never any loss of connection. That's even on the awful Kentucky EDGE network, too.

2. I can't really help there because I never play those types of videos.

3. The PS store? If you mean the Playstation Pocket app, if you're in America (and possibly Canada), nothing. All you gots is Crash Bandicoot. FPSE is better for PS1 emulation, anyway, if that's what you're looking for. A lot of people get their games from Gameloft.

4. The camera is pretty decent. It's better than the camera on my old Desire HD that I sold. It would be better with different software (it's the AOSP app), so download Vignette or Camera 360 if you want better pictures. On this subject, the FFC looks black and white unless you're in good light.

5. I have and it worked fine on said slow network. The speaker is really loud, too.

adb shove iPad2post.apk to /forum/thread
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
2. The Stock Media Play can not play .avi straight out the box.....BUT......all you need to do is download a better media player and it will work straight out the box.

MoboPlayer is my recomendation to you. It plays everything i have thrown at it so far.

3. The actual Playstation games are not worth buying at all imo. Just download FPSE and get all your PS games on the emulator. (leglally you need to own the games before you download them, blah blah technical blah blah).

The Xperia Play games from Gameloft and a few other devs are quite decent quality. I love Gameloft games. Some people do not though. Remember this is a phone first and foremost. Not a dedicated games console.

4. Camera is OK. 5MP is decent. Not amazing, but clear enough to have them pictures full blown on your PC monitor without seeing many pixels.

The video recording is ok too. Not 720p, but not far off, it takes a keen eye to tell the difference.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
2. Yes, Moboplayer works great. You'll have no issues playing standard def content, and in some cases 720p works too.

3. Very few, Crash bandicoot, midevil, and jet moto or something along those lines, haven't used it in a while. I used fpse and play the games I want to play (Final Fantasy VII in my case) I also use it for Super nintendo, nintendo, gameboy, and N64.

4. Fine for a cell camera. Not as good as the more camera oriented cyber-shot phones, but it holds it's own. Also the shoulder buttons make it easy to tak pictures compared to touch screen shutter.

As stated this phone has the loudest speakers out of any phones I've seen. It has two very nice cell phone speakers rather than the standard one, so everything from ring tones to games are plenty loud. They also have extremely good frequency response for cell phone speakers. Music, games, videos, everything sounds "fuller" on the Play compared to other phones.
[Xperia Play General] TheMathMan:
Thanks all for the great answers.

Overall I just want to make sure I can load Google Music app despite being in the UK and that there aren't audio sync issues with avi files like some phones i've tried.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Well on android market Google Music apps says

im from the uk. Also ive played h264 videos with mobo player which are more taxing on the phone and they play fine so avi should be fine, i guess...?

Also found this on web

So im guessing its coming to the rest of us at some point?
[Xperia Play General] TheMathMan:
Yeah i've installed the US version of music before in the UK by grabbing the apk from Modaco or using Market Access (through root).

Dev community doesn't seem busy for this phone.
[Xperia Play General] TheMathMan:
I just love thought of physical buttons for games and emulators.

Even with overlays on my 4.3 S2 its irritating!
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I can't imagine the developers forum to be that busy, this phone is for the niche population of the people who enjoys gaming.
[Xperia Play General] TheMathMan:
Would you recommend it?
[Xperia Play General] TheBassman369:
If you're addicted to flashing ROM's, don't get it. I only got one because I traded my Inspire for it.

The game buttons are the selling point. I personally missed development going on...so my mom needed a phone with a SAMOLED so I got a Nexus S for her. :-D
[Xperia Play General] TheMathMan:
I'm not addicted but would like root control for Titanium Backup and some manual tweaking.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Then the would be the right phone for you.

[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
Skype asks for an upgrade and I upgrade like usual. However once I opened skype, it listed the new features, and around 4,5 devices that allows video calling, and Desire S was one of them!!

Amazing! out of all the htc devices, desire s gets video calling first!
[HTC Sensation] woody21:
does anyone else notice a very slight stutter when playing youtube videos using the included youtube player? the audio is perfect and so is the picture quality but literally every second on smooth panning/movement scenes i see it. htc watch trailers don't seem to suffer this but ive only watched a few so far.

same videos play fine on my hd2 running wm (audio slightly out of sync but thats a known hd2 thing)

i get the same results using wifi, or cellular network and still the same if i allow the video to fully download.

even worse ANYTHING that brings up any on screen display makes the video lag for a few seconds, the watch app lags with osd stuff too.

rebooting doesn't make any change :(

is this just the way it is or could something in the background be causing it, maybe some of the crud installed by my network (3 uk) ?
[HTC Sensation] jparity:
It's interesting that you mentioned it. I've has the same preborn with my first sensation. I exchanged it for dust problem last week, and surprisingly, the new one doesn't stutter with the same settings.... It Really beats me...
[HTC Sensation] woody21:
no dust problem for me luckily, did you have dust from the beginning or has it worked its way in somehow.?

ive tried everything i can think of except for a factory reset and i still have the youtube stutter, youtube player and streaming media player both drop frames and really badly stutter if there is any sort of on screen display or info showing over the video.

streaming watch trailers on mvideoplayer is perfect in every way though! so it seems the hardware can do it and is working fine.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Had my Desire S a couple of months now on o2 in the Uk and really like it ,impressed with the speed so was wondering,would rooting it really make it much better?

Mate is banging on about doing it , but want to weigh up the benefits and possible pitfalls (apart from obviously bricking it) and also the best way of going about it .
[HTC Desire S] ExMM:
I had a friend who just bought it too! He is new to Android and he loves it already.. ;)

Anyway, it's really up to you understand if rooting your phone will be useful, if you are happy like this, you could wait until you will be more confident with Android, or until you will need an extra power (by overclock your CPU for example).

In general a rooted phone with a custom ROM is faster that a stock one, and it doesn't have all the bloadware that HTC put on it.

You will be able to update your radio to improve the signal (and maybe fix the famous issues with it), overlock your CPU, install apk that allows you to back up your system, clear cache, customize your android in the deep, and so on...

The downsides could be the lost of your warranty and a small possibility to brick your phone...

But again is entirely up to you, regarding myself, I rooted my phone as soon as I bought it last year, happy since then! ;)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes, it's definitely worth it. You can get the impeccable sense 3.0, a blazing fast 1.7 Ghz processor, and a ton of customization. BUT, YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING ! If you mess with the wrong stuff,you can permanently brick your device. Also, flashing is a little complicated, so do it only if you're comfortable with hacking.
[HTC Desire S] JackyJack:
Wow, battery must me draining at incredible speed !
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
sadly though without the xtc clip i don't see much of a chance for rooting becoming available on the desire s.
[HTC Desire S] baqai:
I was fortunate to have a soff phone. Till now the advantage of root I have take is by installing market enabler which let's me download apps currently not available in my region. Secondly I was able to install titanium backup to back my whole phone.

Now I am looking into roms and how to go around it. I am a total android noob with this one bring my very first experience.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes, at 1.7 ghz , battery life is low. But, you dont always need 1.7 ghz. 1.5 ghz or even 1.2 ghz is much faster than stock.
[HTC Desire S] det66:
Cheers for the advice but I suppose the point is rather moot until I get S-off
[HTC Desire S] Glibberman:
As i had to return my Desire (the old one) due to overheating and rebooting under heavy use (for example navigation) without having it overclocked, I surely don't want to force these problems with overclocking.

Does anyone use the Desire S for navigation on a regular base? I am really interested if those reboot problems still exist. I am sure overclocking isn't very good for the hardware on a long term.

If you can use the power only for benchmarks then its only about e-peen comparison ;) How about a watercooling mod :D
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I've had it reboot once sure to overheating whilst using navigation. It was on a very hot day though. Several things you can do to stop it too.

Take out out any case.

Have your car air fans on low, and directed at the phone. Just get some air movement around it.

If you have root, underclock when using navigation.

If like me you are on Orange and SICK of the poor 3g service, buy an off line navigation app. I just got copilot and it's very good, and doesn't put half the strain on the phone. Did a two hour journey with it, and it only used 20% battery! That would have flattened it using google.

I think google maps has just updated to be more efficient in navigation and use less power, but haven't put it to the test though.
[HTC Desire S] oftiklaus:
overheating and rebooting

Hello, I have been using the Desire S for just over two months by now and have used navigation extensively for long periods of time (5 to 10 hrs on a row). Here are my observations:

- first of all, the phone required a reboot just once during all this period and it had to do with some stupid automatic download/update from Google. I wanted to stop it but pressed the wrong (and many at the same time) buttons. The phone just resested itself from the blue but came back to life normalul afterwards;

- the reset had to do with Googlemaps but navigation was not on;

- otherwise I use IGO, works flawlessly;

- overheated, under direct sunlight beneath the windshield; solved the problem by positioning the unit next to the air/AC

- at night, the temperature (measured by Battery indicator pro,) never rose above 39 celsius so I say there aren't any overheating issues there.

[General Questions and Answers] Buddy420:
Hi I just got done rooting my samsung continuum I was wondering if there was a way I can speed my phone up and wifi tether speeds faster and can any one list usefull apps for rooted phone I would like to know as much as possible what I can do

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] r0ottm:
The first thing u should try to speed up your phone is to overclock its cpu a bit. About Wifi and tether there are plenty apps on the market (for example optimze toolbox ) but I have no experience with them because i dont trust those "super" apps that actually doesnt tell u what they exactly do with your phone.In my opinion you should take a look on custom roms for your device and pick the one that fits u best.
[General Questions and Answers] ethomps:
Some good apps to start with:

Root Explorer (file management)

Titanium Backup (complete backup of apps and system data)

SetCPU (Overclocking and underclocking if your kernel supports it)

Rom Manager (install and manage roms)

Wifi Tether (self-explanatory)

You should be able to find these in the market.
[General Questions and Answers] guitarhero923:
Yes, use the apps provided above, and you should be able to speed it right up.
[General Questions and Answers] guitarhero923:
Oh and P.S: I've read, and experienced that Overclocking cuts down on your battery time. Just letting you know.

As far as I know, the only carrier with a simlock or a netlock for the Defy is T-Mobile US. You won't get any German Defy with some sort of lock. All you might experience is some sort of software branding.
