[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejong12:
Uploading now as we speak, ~10 minutes left on this crappy connection. The videos are the same, but one is in mp4 and the other mkv. Just want to make sure which one to go for. By the way, is there a noticable difference in quality if I encode in 1280x720? I can easily encode this, so if you want I can provide one in 720p too?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I've played different formats with SGS1 and SGS2 with different types of encoding and just basic divx, there seems to be barely any difference in power consumption, probably the HW decoding is very efficient that it barely adds power usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
SGS2 screen resolution is 800x480 , there is no benefit from 720p or higher unless you intent to connect your SGS2 to TV.

Both videos play identically with my eyes i see no noticeable difference ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejong12:
I think I will go with mkv then. Thank you very much for testing, now I can encode episodes without worrying if they work/don't work. Thank you!

Btw, the audio in the video isn't out of sync, is it? I've tested a 640x360 mkv file on my Galaxy Ace, but the video stutters and is out of sync. This isn't happening on the SGS2, right? Just want to make sure. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
Clip was fairly short i didn't notice anything strange , if you want feel free to upload full episode ill check again.

Following song lyrics sound is spot on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejong12:
Okay, I'll provide you with an encoding of episode 01, expect the link tomorrow. I hope it works flawlessly. :D Thank you for finding some time to test this for me!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
In case someone else finds this useful info. This test was successful.

MKV Video plays without lag , audio in sync, no problems encountred.

Does anyone know if there's a way to modify the default download location in the stock Android browser? I've got the 16GB A500 (and a 32GB external card) -- so obviously I'd rather things be dropped on my card.

Or perhaps a recommendation for a download manager with a clean interface?
[General Questions and Answers] djmax81:
Hi.! all friends i would like to know something though i'm new Android ...and just got New Dell streak 5 android 2.22 froyo(NO CONTRACT) .would like know few queries

1) what is Rooting & i how safe and stable it is .after rooting..if i stick to my official-rom ?

2)And what is the best way to Root Dell streak Devises .?

3) if i Unroot my Devise after Rooting will it Void my warranty.???

Cheers and thanx for this Lovely Website dear Admin
[General Questions and Answers] -Zeppelin-:
1) Nothing will change to the Rom, but you'll be able to flash a new one once you have root (if you like). And as long as the tool or App you use is save, nothing will happen to the phone

3) Depends on the un-rooting procedure and the policy of DELL. I guess, the manufacturer could trace a root even if you try to hide, that the phone was once rooted or flash the stock rom again. However, the question is, will DELL wan't to do that? It needs time and I guess if you'd send it in, they'll just set it to stock to start working on problems...
[General Questions and Answers] djmax81:
what Rooting software should i use to root my dell streak 5 and later to unroot too which can do both ...good way .?
[General Questions and Answers] bonethankz:
try superoneclick or z4root, they can root and unroot your phone with just one click.

but if you feel your current device is good enough for you, then feel free to keep it that way :)

[HTC Sensation] evereste:
I may be alone, but my thumb gets a quite unpleasant 'sensation' when I swipe 'notifications' at the top of the device, it catches on the glass below the speaker grill. It's so annoying I may have to take it back...anyone else notice this?

Hoping I posted in the right spot...
[HTC Sensation] awesomecomb:
I haven't had a similar issue.
[HTC Sensation] anjahl:
This is the development section not the q&a section....
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:

[HTC Sensation] Docmjldds:
Someone call me? :D BTW...nope...Gorilla glass is smooth as it should be
[HTC Sensation] 2Noob4U:
Nope. My ROM works great though and if this isn't AlphaRev I don't care.

Please move.
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
It's where the glass meets the speaker grill, even my son noticed it, maybe it's not placed correctly, I'll have to try another to verify..
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
its yours', believe me. i've had 5 sensations so far and not one had that issue. exchange it.
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
I think you're putting your thumb up too high on the screen...
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
I feel a coarse area there, no reason to swipe that high though.. Not even registered on the screen.
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
You might be right, I'm so used to HD2 and iPhones, G2x, all swipe from the extreme edge...hmn maybe my habit..I'm reluctant to exchange it as it runs so well... I may have to compare at a local store...Hoping it's just one poorly placed screen...sigh, I love this phone...but can't live with the current swipe...
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
Maybe you should buy a bigger cell phone......

Dude got some dirty ass finger nails
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
exactly, it's the way the phone was built, so I don't think a replacement is gonna help.
[HTC Sensation] _archaniel:
Kinda noticed it, but it's when you try to tap the "htc" logo on top. Just tap on the notification bar instead. problem solved
[HTC Sensation] evereste:
Yeah, I'm going to have to change my hd2/iphone/g2x habit....I did go to the store to check out another sense and the T mobile girl agreed, it is a smidge elevated and coming from totally flat fluid screens would make a difference..will re educate my thumb...loving the phone...maybe I ask too much?:D

I've installed the dark knight custom room and wonder which of the htc system apps I can delete without complications. for example facebook, twitter etc.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] louiscypherbr:
It would be nice to have this list. For now, I saw that HTC checkin service can be removed. I'll try it, and give feedback of the results.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Scratch0805:
Trial and error was my method at first,didn't go very well....... then I looked at a system removal app from the market (can't remember which one) which highlighted the ones that are safe in green and unsafe in red. It helped me a lot.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Hybrid Core:
This is my mod, don't change the phone on the wall but adds some really cool things

It's only tested for Darky Rom, try on another rom (modifying Framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk with yours)

Hybrid's mod

[YOUTUBE]7s2Ld4KCLWw[/YOUTUBE]

Only For Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread and Darky Rom 10.1

In the video I explain how you can install that (in description) and what I've changed.

Video and mod are mine, so you can me answer me everything, I make it for me and you guys

Mod changes:

-Lockscreen bars, now are slim and empty, transparent.

-animations, now you can have a new kind of animation called "fly". You can see it when the lockscreen disappears, when i open the configuration menu or I choose a submenu, and when a window appear that looks like it comes from the back of the screen.

-notification bar now is transparent for 10%, the cam doesn't allow to see perfectly.

Instructions to install

-Download this zip file, at this link

-copy hybrids_mod.zip into your Galaxy s, on the root folder or where you want

-reboot your phone in recovery (just choose recovery from the shutdown menu)

-choose install zip from sd card and select the zip file

-install zip file

-wipe dalvik cache (optional)

-restart phone

Enjoy!

(To know names or informations about programs, widget or themes on my phone ask me, I'm kind to answer you as soon as possible)

It has been absolutely tested by me, I use it on my Galaxy since 3 july and I've never had problem
[General Questions and Answers] blackynsf:
i'm not exactly a noob, but i'm doing the same steps to get my htc evo into recovery mode and it isnt working!

i have gingerbread 2.3.3 and and everything is updated (which sucks by the way). this phone came out of the box thursday the 21st of july (2011) and i updated everything before knowing there was no root for 2.3.3 yet :(

help is appreciated.

thx!
[General Questions and Answers] github:
Yes, it is true that if you are S-ON (ships default this way) with 2.3.3 there is no currently known root method, which means no custom recoveries at this time.

Also, HTC enabled "fastboot" by default in their software. This means your phone never really shutsdown, it just goes to deep sleep like a computer might. Because the phone never powers down all the way, accessing a recovery doesn't work using the standard "Power on + Volume Down" button combo.

There is an option to turn this off from within "Menu -> Settings" on your Evo. I would suggest doing this.

Good luck, and note that there is a specific EVO (called Supersonic) forum with a large wealth of information in the General, Q&A and Development sections.
[General Questions and Answers] jadden:
Hold the Volume down and power button. Then you should go into hboot and then select recovery from there.
[General Questions and Answers] jadden:
And as the other guy said there's a Htc supersonic forum. Here's a link http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=619

And make sure to hit thank's to they other guy that posted he really posted a lot and deserves it. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
It'll be stock recovery, but here:

1. Turn off phone/Take out and put in the battery

2. Hold Volume-Down and Power

3. Go down to Recovery. The phone might freeze to look for an RUU for a second.
[General Questions and Answers] blackynsf:
thank you folks. Product F(RED) was on the money. i play with the fastboot option and notice that with the option not selected the phone just restarts itself. funny thing: after doing that two-three times i noticed my wallpaper was changed.

but thanks for the info i'll head to the supersonic forums.

by the way: nothing happened when i pressed the "thank you" button?

right!

[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
I'm loaning my Dell Venue Pro to my GF, and looking to get another phone. Unfortunately there are three requirements i have to full fill.

1) physical qwerty keyboard.

2) windows 7 mobile (and preferably HTC)

3) has to be able to use t-mobile frequencies 1700 & 2100.

What is the best phone on the market in that range (not really worried about price) and are there any new ones I should be waiting for?

thx
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
There's only two I'm aware of that meet just part of your requirements: T-Mobile HTC HD7 and Dell Venue Pro. No other WP7 phones have the radio freqs you need.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Agreed, searched Google & can't find any other WP7 devices on any carriers that use the AWS frequencies that T-Mobile USA uses.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Maybe wait for Mango, or switch to Sprint where you would have a phone that meets all three of those requirements.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
Thanks for the info guys, it's kind what i found while researching but i needed some confirmations.

I actually can't use either t-mobile or sprint because i'm in Canada and one of the new carriers is running the same frequencies as t-mobile. Which is why it's one of my requirements.

Thanks for the replies guys.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I'd just wait to loan it to her for a couple months and see what comes out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
I love my lg quantum, but you'll have To get the unlocked version LG C900 Optimus 7Q. It is the most solid of all of the wp7 and the only other wp7 device with a qwerty keyboard. The screen is a little small but it makes it look sharp. It is the most under rated wp7 phone out there. It is the only wp with a built in registry editor. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Is there a version of it that supports AWS 3G frequencies? This is what he's asking for as his service provider uses AWS (1700/2100MHz 3G), same as T-Mobile USA & a few other provider in the US & Canada do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Only other hope is a Nokia WP7 device. Their recent devices have all been penta band so will work with AWS. Might not get a keyboard model in their first batch though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
Yes, 2100mhz.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It needs both 1700/2100. So it won't work. I agree about the other person with pentaband, but that won't be the case with WP7 Nokia devices. Qualcomm doesn't have pentaband. The Nokia pentaband is a Broadcomm chip. Don't know what is taking Qualcomm so long to do this...
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Oh great! Didn't know it was the Broadcomm chip that enabled pentaband. That means my plan to get an unlocked Nokia is out the window as well. Guess I have to stay with my current phone then. Thanks for the info.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
Are you referencing the fact that both Dell (suposedly this month) is releasing their firmware update and Microsoft supposedly releasing Mango at the end of August?

If Canadian carriers didn't screw us over for data i'd be able to buy other phones, but i'm SoL right now to stick with mobilicity
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zurvv:
why not just get another dvp?

the new firmware will be on it.. it is unlocked... mango is almost out (and you could also put beta 2 on it if you like...)

it is also hella cheap.. $299
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
Several reasons actually.

1) Dell refuses to ship to Canada or accept Canadian billing addresses. , the first time around i had to get a friend to buy it on his CC then ship it up to me. Because UPS has a brocrage fee it was another 100 bucks to cross the border.

2) Dell pissed me off. The first one I shattered on a plastic body kit for my car, and it took over a month to actually get one shipped up here. That was calling them every other day to keep the ball rolling. I'd still be waiting had I not done that.

3) I had to manually program all the Mobilicity settings into the DVP. I'm hoping the other carrier my gf is on won't require me to plug all the txt and mms settings into the phone, she's not the worlds most technical so i want something that just works for her.

Where do I get Beta 2?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
Wrong... Check your facts... Dvp only has 850/1900/2100. No 1700
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
That would be the at&t version. T-Mobile uses 1700/2100 for 3G and was the first DVP sold back in November 2010.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tai4de2:
No phones meet your criteria because "windows 7 mobile" is not a phone OS. If you want a mobile Windows 7 device, try an Acer Icona W500 or an Asus EEE pad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slight22:
Windows Mobile 7 is not a phone OS?? Ahh what are you smoking?? lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
He's just being semantic(al?). Its Windows PHONE 7. Windows MOBILE is long gone, and he snarkingly referred to devices running actual desktop Windows 7.

Got it? :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Pretty much, Windows Phone 7 & Windows Mobile 7 are 2 completely different OS'es. WM7 was scrapped & replaced with WP7. This is why WP7 is so immature. They only spent maybe a 1 yr on development on it after they scrapped WM7. We had a lot of WM7 screenshots before they scrapped it.

Part of me would still love to see what WM7 could have been. A lot of the UI ended up being integrated into WM 6.5.X, just not as pretty as the WM6 UI didn't have the capabilities for the full UI WM7 would have used.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
My god that looks like crap IMO. Steve was smart in throwing the **** away. Metro is fast, clean and different, wm is boring and sluggish
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
This is also why we have the HD2. It was the hardware requirements for WM7. When they scraped it, they changes the hardware button requirements. Got rid of the Home/Send/End keys, added Search. I wouldn't say it was crap. It is definitely more like WM. I love the WP7 UI, the tiles & such, just miss the eye candy & backgrounds. I would have liked to see some kind of hybrid. User customization; backgrounds, PNG Image overlays on the tiles, chrome (Menu Bar/Topbar/etc.). Maybe a few choices for those images (Flat like how WP7 is, Glossy like Windows Vista, & a Windows 7 type flat 3D effect). This way people can choose if they want the eye candy or not. Those who like WP7 as is would choose Flat.

SIDE NOTE: Chrome is the borders, systems menu, etc. WP7 does have some chrome, the menu bar & top bar. It lacks the borders like Windows has. The border around your windows that have the minimize/maximize/x buttons. The best example is the Zune Client. It's chromeless same as how most of WP7 is. I wish the status bar always showed. Can't count how many times I'm in an app & using Data & have to leave the app to check my signal strength.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Windows Mobile's low hardware requirements is what caused the OS to run badly on really good hardware (i.e. HD2). It also posed huge issues for Microsoft moving forwared, and it's one of the big reasons why they decided to take a clean break from Windows Mobile for WP7, even though there is a lot of shared code there (Windows Mobile already had a .NET runtime, etc. and we know great UIs were possible on Windows Mobile, because HTC Sense and other great Shells exist).

I don't think those screens are particularly attractive, but they weren't final, either... There's actually a lot of the beginnings of Metro in that UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Agreed, that & lack of proper drivers from OEMs & an old OS that has seen a lot of upgrades to it with a lot of resource still existing from old versions that aren't even used. OEM's adding a lot of extra garbage that does the same thing as built in apps. I see WM7 as the missing Link between CHome & Metro. They are all basically the same UI. Metro & WM7 just added 3D support (3D graphics as in polygons, not stereo vision type of 3D) & Metro uses a compiled file instead of CPR's. From what I heard through some source though is it's still XML based like CHome CPR's were.
[General Topics] x Eacott:
I currently have a Droid Incredible 2, and my friend has a Thunderbolt that he doesnt want anymore because he is going to AT&T. He said he'll give me the phone for free, so i said alright i'll take it. Now, would this be possible exactly without paying an activation fee? I know with AT&T you just switch the sim cards, someone else i know does it all the time. So my questions are, Is it possible to switch phones without paying any money? If i have to switch SIMS, is it possible since im going from a 3G to 4G phone? If it does cost money, how much and what am i going to to exactly?
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
There are different ways. First of all you have to make sure it's not currently active on any line on his account. So either have him put a different phone on his line or wait till he cancels.

NORMALLY:

Method 1:

VerizonWireless.com -> Activate New Phone -> Type in MEID # (under battery) -> Dial *228 on phone and hit option 1 to activate on your line.

Method 2:

Just dial *228 on the Thunderbolt -> Option 1 to activate on your line.

USE THIS ONE:

Method 3:

Take it to any Verizon Wireless store; they shouldn't charge you. You'll probably have to use this method because of the 4G SIM card in the phone. They'd have to give you a new one.

No matter what method you choose, make sure it's not active on his line.
