I agree the tablet does not have the hardware to Dial out to a service. Check and see if the carrier has a update web site to do what you for purchase. Or check out the Google voice service they give you a phone number that routs phone information to txt Google email and chat

But I do not know much about its limits or ability or availability in your country

Good luck
[Acer Iconia A500] fenixjn:
I don't think they forgot. It is just that your specific need is not significant enough to have it included in the tablet itself when compared with the amount of users that do not use this specific way to connect to the internet.

As far as solutions goes I was thinking that maybe you could setup a SIP on your tablet: this should allow you to make and receive phone calls over the internet. I have an EVO and I was able to make phone calls with it while having the 'phone' radio off (using wifi), the only problem I see is that you'll need to have a dialer somewhere (SIP droid integrated itself into the dialer so you could set it up as the default gateway for calls or use on a specific pattern basis like GV and intl calls)

SIPdroid setup is very easy (username and pass) but the SIP provider itself might not be that easy to setup (you need to setup rules for inc calls, outgoing.. also you need to connect your GV acct with the SIP and so on)
[Acer Iconia A500] Omaticayan:
Thanks so much for all comments! :D

Fortunately, my internet provider has a web interface where I can query my balance and, if I want to put money to my prepaid account, they let me do it via credit card.

That's okay for me.

;)

To all: have a nice day!

I have just found your thread (after having posted one before :( ).

However, I have the same problem. Are you using fyve? I need to recharge the data plan, but cannot do it since I cannot do any phone calls. On the fyve website, I did not find any web interface to enter my code.

Hi,

I'm looking for a good voice recorder which has the ability to remember (e.g, bookmarks) the last point which I left the recording.

Better be with bookmarks, so I'll choose the one I want to hear.

Everywhere I looked - all recorders doesn't have this feature.

Any help?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkinder:
I'm not sure it's the radio, but my light sensor needs calibrating or something. Even in a pitched black room, it jumps up to 320lx, making it shut off the keyboard when I need it. Ugh, ugh, ugh. It still works though -- just not on the low end of the spectrum.

Couple of quick questions.

Is Tiamat Katana compatible with the Australian 3g MZ601 xoom? (is rooted and CMR installed). Currently running rooted stock 3.1 (Australian 3.1 not US)

If so, will it break our 3G and fully working read write sd card?

If not, is there a standalone overclock app (have setcpu already and max's out at 1GHZ)

Thanks .

Good point, my bad.. That being said, let me ask the same questions then but this time regards to Tiamat 1.4.4.

Any ideas?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I have a bunch of 1080p MKV movies that I want to convert into mobile versions for the Galaxy S II, but does anyone know what codecs I should use in order to take advantage of better battery life?

I play to shrink these down to 800x480 res. Any recommendations on bitrate too?

Also, any software or guides recommended to convert MKV to whatever codec has hardware acceleration for this phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
All the video formats that the phone can play natively are hardware accelerated. So u can choose from MP4, avi, FLV and so on.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stra:
I don't have much knowledge regarding the subject. But here's what I gathered:

According to Wikipedia:

Now, to take advantage of that hardware there also needs to be software that supports it.

MoboPlayer is one such software, that I know of, which has "ARM V7_NEON" playback codec and so it will fully utilize Galaxy S2 resources.

As to regards to which format you should convert...

On the MoboPlayer website is said that: "Almost all video formats(need to choose "software decoding" mode inmost cases)."

So I suppose what you need to do, is to disable "software decoding" mode and see what video formats will be supported in hardware mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I live in the US and we don't have the SGS2 released here yet. Can anyone who has the phone already, please test this out and let us know which codecs are hardware accelerated with MoboPlayer?

I found this guide for transcoding:

http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/211070-How-to-convert-MKV-to-AVI-or-OGM-to-AVI-using-mencoder

I don't think there is an "optimum" bitrate because that is going to vary depending on content, ie, number of fast motion scenes. Maybe encode it in VBR and set the top limit fairly high.

I know this phone will handle 1080p MKV, but some of my mkv files are like 12gb!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoolzo:
Hi, dont bother with anything else, handbrake should be your tool of choice. There are various templates included but I usually just set it to MP4 high profile and choose the file size I want, handbrake then does the rest and bloody well too.

Do a search on here for handbrake, there may already be threads about it, note though you should only really have to re-encode if you movies are over 4 gig (fat 32 limit) as I haven't found a file this phone wont play yet with one player or another. My players of choice are always stock first, then mobo, then DICE.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Thanks mate! Actually, I'm getting this phone for my GF for our anniversary and she's a big Harry Potter geek, she has all the books and blu-ray. I've already converted her blu-rays to MKV so she can have them all on the XPS 15, but I was hoping to convert the MKV down to a mobile friendly format.

All the HP movies add up to 80gb so I can't just copy the MKV's on there, that's why I was thinking of transcoding again.

I did find this bit of info on the Exynos:

http://www.samsung.com/us/business/oem-solutions/pdfs/Exynos_v11.pdf

It doesn't say what container it supports but from what you say, it sounds like MP4 is the way to go. Thanks for the Handbrake tip!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoolzo:
one thing you should aware of is that if you intend to get the MHL>HDMI adapter at some point you may want to transcode at a resolution a little higher as it wont look great on the TV. If you are just playing on the phone then you can get them down to a fraction of the size. I found the best thing to do was to find a smaller film clip that was encoded as 1080 MKV and run off some tests, then save off the template and batch convert the log. I converted all my start trek films from 8 gig to 2 gig a piece, I left them at 1080p but set the file size down to 2 gig. The all look great on my Phone and still really good on my TV through the HDMI, best of both worlds.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Wow, that's crazy! I doubt my gf will ever output these to a TV. I'm still playing with Handbrake's settings.

One thing I don't get about it is that HP is 1920x800'ish, so when I set it to 800, the height drops down to 336'ish.

I think I'd rather have it fullscreen and sacrifice cropping some of the sides, so I clicked ASPECT RATIO and set the height to 480.

Handbrake set the width to 1152, so I set a crop of 176 on left and right, to try to bring the final size back down to 800x480.

But Handbrake has some weird algorithm that doesn't seem to give the desired result? It changed the output size of the video on its own after I changed the cropping values.

So, I'm not quite sure how cropping is handling in Handbrake, is it done before or after the resolution is resized?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
Mobo can't use HW video decoder. SW decoder use SIMD(NEON) instructions.

Exynos HW video decoder can decode 1080p.

Try diceplayer. it use HW video decoder in Exynos ( Multi Function Codec )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Thanks but does it also depend on which container or codec the video is in?

I'm assuming that h.264 video in a MP4 container should be hardware accelerated right?

I personally was using Launcher Pro, while using it I experienced major lag. While browsing this thread I found out about Go Launcher ex, Thanks guys I really like it. I wish I knew about it before I bought Launcher Pro because I have no lag and there are a ton of Themes and customization's. The only problem I had originally going from Launcher pro to GL was some glitch where I would try and get into the preferences and it would show for a second then disappear. I had to do a factory reset and install it without Launcher Pro. I have read there is a way to bring information over to Go Launcher, but it would crash on me so I was not able to use it. Oh well I am still impressed and happy. I even got my wife to use it on her Slide.

Go Launcher Ex

I was using Launcher Pro for a long time, but tried out Go Launcher at you guys' suggestion. Overall, I like it better and find that it has more pop as well as more options than the (still trusty) LP.

Home Migration was flipping awesome! Also, I love how I can add and move screens around - something I kept looking for with LP.

Oddly enough, I get some slow response when sliding the screens right, especially after closing an app. I have to hit it a couple of times sometimes. Strange, huh? Since it's only to the right, I am thinking I might not be getting proper contact on the screen or something.

Overall, an exciting improvement.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:

[Vibrant General] jedijos:
I've tried both Go Launcher EX and ADW Launcher, and i find Go Launcher to be more flexible, it has more options to customize your phone, the only thing is that when I use a live wallpaper and hit the app drawer button it lags a little too much for my taste, so I use normal wallpapers!

Other than that, it's a really good launcher and it's totally free! :D
