[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Raviteja:
Hello,

I have seen Many Cool Themes in Themes Section.I want to try them but I have a Doubt and that is Do I need to root my mobile to use them or just download and send to mobile and use them?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
As always depends upon the Themes instructions .But as many are installed via CWM the answer is mostly yes .

But if you had root and Titanium backup you could backup and be able to restore your entire rom .

I have MKV files on my pc which I want to watch on my phone. Is it possible to stream and watch them on my phone using wifi and without any internet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhilc5:
you can try apps like

ORB Live

VLC Direct Pro

Tonido

here you'll have to install a client in your computer & then you can stream your media from the comp in your phone via wi-fi (no internet required)

For VLC Direct pro no additional softwares or clients are required other than the VLC player in your computer

try ES File Explorer & Rock Player. Create a SMB connection to your PC -> browse to the MKV file -> long press -> Open as video then choose Rock Player..

It does not work with MVideoPlayer which I hope it would. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deastr:
This was just what I needed thank you!

Any idea which player to use for external subtitles? I use mVideoPlayer for the files on the phone but mVideoPlayer doesn't work as you said.

[Galaxy S II General] mach0boi:
The title says it all.

I don't know if starting a thread like this is right. I just want to bring up the issue again cause I now believe this issue is more of a software problem than a hardware. I can confirm on my phone that cfroot kg1 kernel solves or lessens my yellow tint screen issue. A while ago, I flashed another kg1 based kernel, ninphetamine to be specific, then I noticed the issue again. Also saw a report from other thread that kg1 also solves his issue.

Thank you and sorry for bringing up this issue again. Hoping we can all look at it :)
[Galaxy S II General] PhonicUK:
I've had the same issue, I fixed it using Chainfire to tint the entire screen very slightly to negate the yellow.

I am hesitant on buying this 1700mA battery because I heart third party ones have a chance to explode inside the phone. How reliable is thing?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Buy the 1900 mah battery from amazon its the real deal and only took twodays to get. I get a day with average use easy. It's 20 plus 4 for shipping. I bought a battery from china waited forever and they sent the wrong one stay clear of china . The one on amazon chichitec is the one i got there also is a ankor one too.

If it's cheaply made it may have less power than advertised. Their is also the potential of it blowing up! :0

[Xoom General] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

i've been using the xoom for about 3 weeks now. i have the latest motohelper driver. i'm using windows 7 x64. i've been able to access and transfer files before no problem. I rooted over a week ago and also have had no problems moving files around. accessing the sd card from the pc has also worked.

now yesterday I send my wife to move a file over, and she tells me it's not working. sure enough, no matter which usb port on the pc I plug it into, or how i disconnect and reconnect the cable on the xoom, windows gives me the USB device not recognized message.

I've tried rebooting both the PC and the Xoom. i've reinstalled the drivers. i've enabled and disabled usb debugging on the xoom. still get the same message. under device manager it shows as Unknown Device. if I go and manually select the Motorola MTP drivers it tells me it can't start the device.

we haven't done any recent software changes on the PC or the Xoom. specially not within the last two days for it to go from plugging in just fine to USB Device Not Recognized.

any suggestions?

thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Not sure if you guys have used this but Ive found it pretty handy for online storage. Called drop box, you get 2Gb free and can upgrade and get more if you need it!

http://db.tt/2yz87DL

If anyone else has found simliar apps that offer more storage would love to know so just post here!
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Right. And by clicking that referral link above, both parties get a little extra space.

It's a pretty popular online storage / file sharing service and along with the DropBox Android app, a great extension for storage on tablets.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Indeed, so far loving it!
[Acer Iconia A500] VitaZora:
Another online storage tool is Spideroak. It works across many platforms including Android and Linux. I am still in the process of testing it out. Not quite as intuitive as Dropbox. But I used the promo code *worldbackupday* and got a free upgrade to 5GB of storage. Not bad.

[Acer Iconia A500] ShaunD103:
Just trying out Asus Web Storage. It has a very cheap option for unlimited storage.... Tempting!
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I personally can't think of any use for these online storage systems. It would be okay if you could mount them and then have all your applications be able to access the files there directly, but if you always have to copy stuff back and forth first then... meh.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Well the great thing about DropBox is that it integrates into windows just like a regular folder.

Once you've installed the application (which has a very small footprint) you can use the Windows 'Send To' context menu option and send anything to the DrobBox folder on your computer and it syncs with the account, making whatever you put in there available from any web-connected device. (either in a public or private folder which you can also set up)

You can also setup shared folders between people/teams which has a semi-type check-in/check-out feature that shows when others are working on them. So, say I'm working on a design doc - I can open it directly from my DropBox folder (since its a regular windows folder) make changes, edits etc, save it and it syncs the new version with anyone else I'm sharing the folder with.

As far as the tablet goes, it really is an extension to storage but only in a minimalist sense. Launching the Android App shows you all your DropBox folders and you can navigate though folders and open files or download them to your tab (without having to mount the tab to your computer or do that SD card dance). The primary point being, you can access them directly from the DropBox app and not actually have them on your tab.

I use it mainly to store books and other documents (also my bootanimations and screenshots) so when I want to access them (or give access to them) I can share the link, or open the files directly on my tab - make changes, save and it saves to DropBox.

It really is flawless and elegant.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
It's also entirely reliant on people and systems over which you have no control. It can fail without warning, just because something between you and their servers goes wrong, and you have zero assurance of security either.

I hate the "cloud". I think it's stupid, pointless and potentially downright dangerous. You have zero control over your data or who has access to your data.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
What.are.you.talking.about?

All that reads like over sensitive hyperbole and paranoia to me.

You're suggesting that just because you have files in your DropBox folder that it's unsecure?

Anything can fail without warning - that's hardly an ongoing and preventative concern of mine. I could turn on the light in my bathroom and *might* pop and yet, here we are. I'm not about to take a flashlight in with me every single time *just in case*.

Your HDD can fail. Your CPU can pop. Your MB can short... I mean, what are you expecting? Putting files on DropBox is no more unsecure than burning it to a DVD or copying it to a Flash drive or leaving it on your HDD.

There are *levels* of security and DropBox is far more secure than you give it credit. If security is a serious concern of yours, turn off the internet.

And regarding the cloud. See paragraph 2.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I know it does on Windows, but my tablet doesn't run Windows.

That's the whole point why I don't like these kinds of things: it's cumbersome if I always have to go through this or that application first in order to use a file. It should just be mounted on a specific directory and that's that. I can only hope someone will create something like that for Android soon.

I wonder though if there is any way of mounting SSH connections, like for example as through Fuse as is possible on Linux. Then I wouldn't have to worry about these kinds of things at all as I have ample amounts of storage space on my server.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
The company I work for, one of the largest IT corporations in Europe, SELLS cloud services. I know what I'm talking about.

Your files are not secure, no matter the assurances you're given, and Dropbox has had some pretty major security flaws in the quite recent past. And as a recent screwup on Amazon's cloud services recently showed, if something goes wrong or some dumbass makes a mistake, you might not even get your data back intact. That sort of thing happens a lot more often than you think, too.

Hell, we sell the bloody services to the world, but our own internal network services are down more often than a whores knickers!
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I'm not questioning whether you know or don't know what you're talking about.

They are secure. Which, as you know, is a relative term.

If you need *more* security then don't use it. I don't know how much simpler it can be.

That's why there is an Android App. The service is a ubiquitous sharing that acts like a regular Windows folder while in the Windows environment. It's not *beholden* to the Windows environment.

I'm not sure how you can suggest it's cumbersome if you haven't tried it. Open the DropBox application, navigate to a file and select it and it opens in whatever app you have it set to open. They only different between than and opening a native application and then finding the file you want to open and opening it is that using the DropBox method, the file has to be downloaded first - which maybe is a thing for you, I don't know.

If you want it on your tab, select the file and download it - it saves to the local DropBox folder and at that point you can access it locally like any other file. The only other option is to manually put the file on your tablet - via cable, SD card, email - whatever method you see fit. To me, *that's* cumbersome.

Like I said, DropBox is more about access than storage. People use DropBox because they want access to files over the web in the same manner they would over a home network (without using bloated VNC's and multiple programs). If you have no need for such a function then DropBox doesn't sound like something you'd use.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
It doesn't differ at all from opening file manager, navigating to samba share and downloading a file from there. That's why I said I'd like something that allows me to mount the whole thing as a regular directory on my tablet, THEN it would be useful. Like for example, the eBook reader I have shows as a collection all the books I have. If the cloud storage was mounted on a directory I could just point the eBook reader to that directory and POOF, they'd all be visible and accessible without having to copy anything back-and-forth.

Unfortunately there seems to be no such service for Android. Atleast not yet :/

Look, I'm not bashing DropBox. I just voiced a wish for additional functionality. I already have DropBox-like functionality via file manager and browsing to either Samba-share or SFTP-share, with 2Tb storage, on my own server, but if I could just mount the thing on a directory it'd be a lot, LOT more useful.
[Acer Iconia A500] rasmith3530:
Do a Google search using the terms Dropbox Security Breach and then read the article at CNET, a reliable IT information source. FloatingFatMan is right, at least about the security of Dropbox. I'm a bit leary of the Cloud for the same reasons. Do you know who is controlling your data or any of the folks who have access to it?
