From what I can tell you have to embed jwplayer into a webpage and run it from a server. You would also have to create links to the video files. Not very practical for what I want.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sontin:
jwplayer is a embbeded flash player for websites. AFAIK there is no standalone player for android which is playing mp4.

I wrote a very basic HTML site for playing mp4 videos. It implements the jwplayer. Open the sites with dolphin browser. It shows the whole path to the files. And then you can copy them to whatever browser you want.

There are two sites:

start-http:

You can use apps like drivedav for access your files over http. With this site you only need to copy the link from the video into the text field.

start-file:

That's the site for using the file:/// process of the browser. You can choose with a filemanager app the video. Because the webkit browsers don't give back the whole path you must add new radio inputs with an editor. I add two links - to the movies and microsd folders. Choose the video, click on the right radio button and then load the video.

I have no problems watching videos. But it's only a workaround until asus/google fix this annoying problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
Not working for me. Put it on my TF and open either file or html and it says loading player but never does. Tried in default browser, Opera and Dolphin. Same issue if I open them on my PC. It just says loading player. I tried clickong on browse and load and can't get them to open any files either.

EDIT: Nevermind got it working. and you are correct. Smooth(ish) playback.

EDIT2: Any way to get this to work over a network without having to tell it which folders the movies reside in? If I do a test edit on my local PC I have to specify the folder path otherwise it complains it cannot play the movie even though it let me browse to it and load it. I want to access a network share on my internal 192.168.x.x IP.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sontin:
Open the site-file with dolphin and copy the path here. Maybe you need more or less /.

And put the html site into one of the other folders. It shows the correct path. Maybe you musst edit the input radio types.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I want to be able to open a network share from my TF and browse and play movies inside other folders (I don't want them all in one folder which it seems the player wants).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sontin:
If you have access through HTTP then you need only to copy the url to the textfield of the start-http site.

Another way is mounting the network folder with a cifs manager to the filesystem. Download an app like davdrive, deactivate username/password and now you have access over http to the folder. Copy the link of the video to the start-http site and jwplayer should load the video directly from the network folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryukent:
Has anyone confirmed whether this has been fixed on the Xoom with 3.2? Is this something that Tegra 2 SOC can overcome? Seems like it should given that the flash player works ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] strikegun:
Hi, does someone got the issue, that the audio stops playing after a movie play time from ~60 seconds?

With the MyNET Player there is not that problem.

I am playing mkv, h264.

After I noticed that AC3 is terrible on the transformer, I recoded the movies audio to mp3 stereo 48khz.

any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DominikReber:
Hello

As you know, our device doesnt get charged by the USB cable it comes with (or veeeeeery slow).

As I have a solar charging device with USB slots, I need a compatible USB cable. Somehow it has to work, is there some converter or something ?

Thanks!

Dominik
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rilot:
Eh? My device charges just fine with the included cable.

You will have trouble charging it from a solar powered USB charger as I'm guessing it will only put out 5V at maybe 500mA. That's not enough to juice the TF. It's not the cable though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Bob Smith42:
Because ASUS used a USB connector on its cable, unfortunately does *not* mean this USB connector 100% follows the specifications for USB.

It has a trick, whereby, when connecting to your PC it works like USB at 5v. But, when connecting to a 15v charger it switches to use 15v instead.

The TF charging indicator, and Android OS battery settings, only indicate charging when 15v applied. At 5v it may trickle charge with screen & wifi & ??? turned OFF. I never try charging at 5v because it is too slow.

LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Neo3D:
I don't think it charges at all at 5v?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SoundSurfer:
EDIT:

How can I delete a post?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ryan stewart:
It will, provided you have the amperage. But its only trickle so its only really charging with the screen off and charges slower than the tablet uses battery.

Looking for At&t users who have had success adding SOC code HSDPPB to their data plan as mentioned in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109983

Did you have it done over the phone, in a store, what BS did you feed them, etc. Did it have a noticeable effect on your speeds? I do know that one needs a 4G IMEI, which I have but I found it through a Google search so I don't have the physical phone that it came from.

I have tried multiple firmware/modems (KE7,KF2,KF3,KG1), APNs (wap,phone), build.prop mod, and still the best speed I can get on average is around 1.5 Mbps. The only thing left to try is the SOC code. I live in the Washington DC area and am certain that we have good 4G coverage here.
[Galaxy S II General] doboji:
Something's not right... I'm in the Washington DC area as well, I do NOT have the 4G feature added, and I'm getting as high as 6Mbps/2Mbps...
[Galaxy S II General] destromas:
Before I had the 4g plan, I was hovering around 2.0mbps. I switched to unlimited 4g with the help of an old phone, and now I sit around 4.5mbps. I now have HSDPPB. Do it over the phone. For convenience, find the IMEI of a 4g AT&T phone before you call.
[Galaxy S II General] 3_D:
Just call AT&T up and tell them that you want to change your phone and give them the IMEI #. I transferred my unlimited 3g to 4g that way. I'm getting max 6mg in Dallas.
[Galaxy S II General] !2020!:
Could you post your firmware/modem and APN settings please? Would be a big help. Thanks!

[Galaxy S II General] rhsauer:
The problem is getting the HSDPPB (4G SOC code) added and maintaining the grandfathered unlimited Smartphone Personal plan. I've tried in-store and over the phone and each time I've been told that they can't add that code to that plan - they have to switch me to a 2 or 4 gig capped plan. If anyone knows a way around that, I would be very happy to hear it.

As I understand it, the benefit of being on the HSDPPB 4G plan is being able to connect to the "ATT phone" APN, which provides faster speeds than the wap.cingular APN.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
There are two reasons that you'd need to provide the IMEI of a 4G phone to AT&T.

1) You're on an old grand-fathered unlimited plan and want to be moved to a 4G plan.

2) You're registering for one of their 4G plans.

For all others, giving them the IMEI of a 4G phone will cause them to flag you for not being on a 4G plan as they do track plan usage/assignment by IMEI.

There's been some discussion as to whether being on a 4G plan gets you better speeds. The OP in the thread below claims having a 4G phone and a 4G IMEI and a 4G plan routes you through different (faster) gateways. Looking at the mixed results I'm not sure its true or matters.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1109983

I'm on a dumb-phone plan and have gotten as high as 8MB down as I've traveled the country so I'm not sure there's better to be had. AT&T's continuing to upgrade their backhaul and there have been reports of bad performance while it's going on. I don't know if that or congestion is what's causing poor performance in DC. OP, I'd find someone with a 4G phone and a 4G plan to see what kind of speeds they're getting before changing your plan.
[Galaxy S II General] doboji:
Once again I am getting up to 6Mbps in the DC Metro area on wap.cingular and no 4G feature.... so I really don't think you need the 4G or the att-phone APN for good speeds.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Those of us using dumb-phone plans got them in different ways. Some people are using old iPhone plans, some are using grandfathered 3G plans, some switched saying they replaced their smartphone with a dumb-phone, and some started service that way (me). The last two categories seem to be getting the best performance from posts I've seen. In addition, some are using old SIMs from other phones/plans and some new (me). I think all of this has to be considered when talking globally about dumb-phone plan data performance.
[Galaxy S II General] Elite GunnerX:
I'm in the Dallas area and many times i get 6mps down and I'm only on the $10 unlimited media net plan...I really think you guys are just confusing At&t's crappy network speed with the fact that something is wrong with your phone but in realty everything is working fine. Blame At&t...
[Galaxy S II General] 3waygeek:
I'm still on the old DPPB 3G unlimited smartphone plan, and I've gotten 7+ Mbps on HSPA+ on occasion, using the wap.cingular APN. So far, I haven't seen a need to switch.
[Galaxy S II General] Mulder3:
Americans...

First: GalaxyS2 is NOT a 4G phone... Not in Europe, Not in America, and NOT in China HSPA+ is NOT a 4G tech... 4G is LTE only! All our carriers are HSPA+ enabled and none of them say it's 4G...

About APN settings: Here in Portugal, all our carriers have the APN settings for Internet/MMS posted on their site... Why do you need XDA for this?
[Galaxy S II General] geekaren:
here are apn settings:

I copied these APN settings from my Infuse, posting here in case they're helping to folks having problems.

[Galaxy S II General] geekaren:
Because American wireless companies don't offer that level of service. They prefer that customers only use phones locked to their service.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Europeans...

We're not idiots. We'll also have the largest LTE networks in the world soon. It's easier to speak in terms of "4G" as very few phones in the U.S. have radios that support HSPA+ even though it's an extension of existing technology. Go back to your conversations about how your networks drain the phone's battery, can't maintain a connection, and don't support fast dormancy.
[Galaxy S II General] !2020!:
LOL! Thanks Barry...well said. Personally I'm beginning to think there might be a hardware problem with my phone given everyone's response.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You might try swapping your SIM at an AT&T store first. My account's new showing no phone assigned to it and they over-nighted me a SIM. Maybe someone else can comment on their experience using a SIM from a previous phone/plan and whether they had to anything afterward.
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
I have 2 s2's sitting here. Both with litning rom 2.2, both on the same att account, and both are in the system with the same atrix imie.

One is getting 6-8mbps down the other is getting 3-4mbps down. What would make one slower than the other?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
That's interesting. What happens if you swap the SIMs?
[Galaxy S II General] !2020!:
Confirmed...At&t's network is crap! I picked up an Infuse 4G over the weekend to test and compare. Download speeds on the Infuse are just as bad if not worse in the same areas as my S2. However, I can say that the HSDPPB code on my account has made a difference. I'm now getting much better speeds then I was before. Matter of fact, I pulled a 5-6 Mbps download on the S2 this morning in the same spot that the Infuse barely got 1 Mbps 5 minutes before.

I guess I do have to thank At&t for giving me 30 days to borrow the Infuse for my little science project.:p
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
If the Infuse was on a legit 4G plan too all that proves is AT&T's network is wonky. Thinking about it, traffic outbound from the phone may be randomly routed to different AT&T towers and gateways. Maybe some have had the backhaul upgraded and some haven't. Or maybe some are carrying more traffic than others. If the back end was 100% consistent I think people wouldn't be getting such dissimilar results. There's plenty of posts from people using non-legit 4G plans getting higher speeds than those on legit plans (and vice versa). I'm guessing that the lack of consistency means something else besides the plan/APN is impacting speeds.
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
My wife is on the 4g 2gb plan and I am on the grandfathered unlimited plan for $30 a month.

She is getting 7-9mbps I get 3-5mbps.

Not sure if it is my plan or not, but I really don't want to get off unlimited for the speed difference.

By the way we both have galaxy s2's.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Wow, that's interesting. What happens when you swap SIMs? I'm on a bastard plan and can pull 7-8MB down when I'm traveling through Texas. Something else I find strange is that actual performance seems better than calculated performance. I came from T-Mobile and Speed Test would consistently show 8MB down on a couple of different phones I had. I'm not in an AT&T 4G area but videos plays twice as fast on my SGS2 with 2-3MB down showing as the calculated speed. It can't just be the phone because my G2X on T-Mobile was dual-core also. This whole thing is kind of strange.
[Galaxy S II General] chestvrg:
This is what I get using the dumb unlimited data plan media net of $15/mo.

7.28 Mbps down

1.06 Mbps up
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
can someone give me an imie of a dumb phone that will take the media net plan? Every imie I tried to put into premier doesn't give me the option for a media net plan. It won't let me add a data plan at all. Which makes me think that all our company dumb phones which are real cheap old Nokia can't even accept the media net plan.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I called our Premier rep directly and he entered everything and didn't ask for an IMEI. He FedEx'd me the SIM. Try calling your rep rather than trying to do it online.
[Galaxy S II General] bothfly:
Guys, I've gone back and forth with several different ATT reps, store folks online peeps and a geek at Best Buy.

There is NO 4G plan that will make your GS2 or what ever phone go any faster.

ATT's network is crap, some EDGE, mostly 3G and some H+.

I travel for a living and can say that I have never not seen the GS2 go into H+ mode when online. Some places it gets a good download others its ok. If you change the server on that Speed Test app, you will get all kinds of different results.

Its all smoke and mirrors
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
sorry misread your post
[Galaxy S II General] !2020!:
Completely agree. While using the speed test app over the last few days on both the S2 and the Infuse the H+ icon is always there but the results show a mixture of UTMS and HSPA. I have also noticed significantly different results for each server that the app connects to from the same physical location.

The best we can hope for is to flash the modem from the US variant when it arrives and live with the fact that the network may suck but at least we have a really great phone that At&t didn't puke on. BTW, Infuse...holy bloatware. UHH!!!
[Galaxy S II General] rockky:
Hello

SO....I need a coach!

I am recieving my SGS2 in about an hour FedEx.

AND....from this (conflicting?... Imei, Soc code, apn's etc! ) thread:

How would you advise me to set it up with ATT to best leverage speed from the network. (I have no grandfathering status. Will opt for 4G cap).

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
just wanted to let you guys know my sgs2 was getting about 3-4mbps while my wife's was getting 5-7mbps. After many tests the only thing that resolved it was me going to the att store and getting a new sim card.

So if you are experiencing slow speeds for your area, I would try getting a new sim card.
[Galaxy S II General] rockky:
So there was nothing different about the sim?
[Galaxy S II General] djsaad1:
No the sims are the same, mine must have just gotten old.
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
Actually only LTE evo its 4G, LTE is not. Also in portugal vodafone's 42mbits hspa+ network (and there are other in the EU, France is getting full 42mbits coverage in january 2012) is faster than verizon's capped LTE network. So much for "4G" in the EU hspa networks are faster than any of the so called "4G" networks in the usa.
[Galaxy S II General] mathieulh:
LTE drains a lot more battery than hspa+, our networks can maintain a connection just fine and at greater speeds than yours, because our carriers actually invest in their infrastructures, oh! And unless you're out of nowhere in some underdeveloped eastern europe country that is not actual part of the EU, our networks support fast dormancy just fine.

Finally we don't have carriers more locked down than the iphone,

We don't have some stupid FCC to attribute different fancy bands to every existing carriers so consumers can't move to another carrier without ditching their phones and prevent you from getting handsets at the same time as the rest of the world (kinda like the galaxy s2 right now eh?). If you think the USA is better than the EU for wireless communications, think again.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Since this thread is for AT&T users, and AT&T has no presence outside the U.S., European commentary isn't really necessary. No one's questioning that what we refer to as "4G" really is just HSPA+. It's easier in conversation just to refer to it as 4G because that's the way it's been marketed. And if the EU has such fantastic cell networks, why are most of the 2G/3G connectivity, 3G battery drain, and fast dormancy complaints in the forum all coming from there? We don't have those problems regularly with AT&T. Between Verizon and AT&T over 300MM people will have access to LTE by the end of the year. How many will have access in Europe?
[Galaxy S II General] Raspster:
How about your data dropping from time to time. I notice that if I'm in the same spot, I will never loose data but if I'm moving and possible switching towers, I will show an "H" or "H+" or "3G" but the data will get stuck and the only way out of it is to re-set the data (airplaine mode on then off) This may have been mentioned before but man it's driving me nutz!
[Galaxy S II General] lbbo2002:
Got the SGII on Monday. The speeds I get range from 5-7 down and 1 - 1.2 up no change to my unlimited data plan.

I just dropped the sim I had in my Captivate into the SGII. This is in Austin and Houston TX areas. The captivate (2.3.3 Custom ROM and modem) only does 3-5 dn and 1 -1.2 up at best. Never had it do any better in the year I have had it.

I assume as others have mentions its AT&T network since my tests that are so inconsistent from the same location.

I guess I'll pop the wife's SIM in (she has a captivate as well) and see what that does.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
^^^^^^

This.

We appear to be getting the best of what they've got and, sometimes, that's not a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The phone has a feature called fast dormancy that's set to enabled. It's to conserve battery. AT&T's network supports fast dormancy. The way it's supposed to work is that when idling the phone always drops to 3G. When data's needed it moves to 4G (H+). I don't know why you're getting stuck. If it wasn't like that out of the box it could be an app conflict. The New Yorker's had some data issues because of signal and congestion, maybe one of them can comment.
[Galaxy S II General] Illicit Hero:
Came from an iPhone 4 so I had to get new sim and was getting 5mbps consistently. Called AT&T with Atrix IMEI number changed APNs like dev thread says and looking at 10mbps consistently.
[Galaxy S II General] Raspster:
So, your saying I should have the fast dormancy turned on? As of right now, I have it turned off based off what others had said. I didn't know at&t supported it so I guess having it set to "ON" with at&t will be better than off..?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
From a data issue perspective, there's been very few complaints from those of us on AT&T. Biggest issues are network congestion and weak indoor signal but those are in places like NYC, DC, and Boston. I travel a lot and have FD on and never had a data access issue anywhere I've used the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] !2020!:
I've had this same problem but happens much much less after flashing to KG1 and KG2. I agree that it might have something with switching towers because it only seems to happen now while driving. I have tried both fast dormancy on and off and cannot notice difference with either. However, I will say that the switch from G to H+ is much smoother with KG2 and doesn't bounce back and forth like it did with KE7.
[Galaxy S II General] halfman21:
Wow thats a big change, I also switched from I4 but didn't call to register new IMEI #...might have to do that and see if anything changes
[Galaxy S II General] russd456:
im about 50 minutes south of NYC, i go to school at Rutgers in new brunswick and the fastest speeds i have ever gotten were 4 mbps down, im grandfathered into an unlimited 3g plan, first i had the iphone 3gs then i got the nexus one, then the galaxy s2. Honestly, i think at&t hasn't fully upgraded there hsdpa+ network here. New jersey is also one of the most densely populated states so im sure the network regularly gets bogged down from all the users. thankfully im on wifi most of the time so this does not really affect me. I really dont like the idea of having a data cap with the new teared data plans.

anyone else in the nj ny area? if so, what speeds are you getting and what plan do you have?

I am jealous of you guys in texas getting 6-8mbps down though, have to admit that. haha
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
AT&T's based in Texas and that's where they're launching LTE. I've pull about 8MB down in Dallas, Houston, and Austin when I've passed through and I'm on a dumb-phone plan.
[Galaxy S II General] russd456:
oh wow i didnt realize at&t was based out there. That makes a lot of sense though

North East Pennsylvania here. When I first got the phone, speeds were good not great capping out around 4mb consistent.

For the last few weeks I can't make it over 2mb down. Its like it stops picking up speed and stays just below. Speed test app, speakeasy online and speedtest online.

I pulled my SIM out to have a look, and I think it may be damaged. Which is funny because I just got it a couple weeks ago. I suspect the heat from the phone warped the SIM card. Samsung never replied to my e-mails, neither did Clove.

I am currently in Houston, TX on business and have been doing some testing RE: data speeds on my SGS2 and my older Nexus One.

I am on an grandfathered unlimited plan and my Nexus One clocks in at 1-2Mbps down while my SGS2 clocks in at 4-9Mbps down.

My colleague is on a capped DATA plan and using his Infuse 4G SIM in my SGS2 I am seeing about the same speeds.

In fact my SGS2 is actually consistently faster than my colleague's Infuse 4G.
