[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvoXOhio:
I had the Xoom, returned it for the Transformer, then returned the Transformer for the Galaxy tab 10.1. I will be keeping the 10.1 and love it.

The Xoom screen is TERRIBLE and it's way too heavy. And up until recently the Xoom was the most expensive tablet on the market, despite having the worst features.

The Transformer was just a big POS. Software was extremely slow on laggy, build quality was abysmal.

I have no need for microSD or HDMI so that was no big deal for me. what I wanted was a light tablet with a wonderful screen and high build quality. The Galaxy tab 10.1 is the only one that gives me that.

What the Xoom has going for it is that it is the first to get Honeycomb updates, and it's built like a tank (in a good way, meaning it's sturdy).

I would use the $100 Staples coupon and get the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thankfully it is still shipping without Touchwiz, since I don't like how Touchwiz tries to make Honeycomb look like iOS (seriously Samsung, get off of Apple's nuts already, it's embarrassing).

I need a way to flash a custom rom not a stock one.. Help me someone

I was doing a lil research and I came across fastboot....does this work with our phone? And if so how do I go about using it..
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimr0dv:
hey guys, i have a problem.

I flashed my legend with this ROM ([ROM][RC2][22.07.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1) and i bricked it. Now I have had fixed it somehow, but the problem is that my phone wont start (infinite boot loop) if it isnt plugged in and charging. Does anybody knows how to fix this?

I have one more problem. When i connect my phone over the USB to computer, it doesnt recognize my SD card... + when in recovery mode, my phone is not recognized too.

sorry for my crappy english and please help me.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 50-3:
Personally CM6.1 is the only rom not to boot loop on me when it's not plugged into power.

BTW if you used the USB un-brick guide your computer will never recognise the SD card again (got one in my draw I use for USB un-bricking :P)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimr0dv:
Even if I format my computer? :D

And yes, thank you, it worked! :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 50-3:
Unfortunately yes it puts a security tag on the SD card which only your phone can get past
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimr0dv:
so there is no way to fix that?

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typhoonscotland:
My SD card died... But I left it a few days out of the phone and out of my laptop, and then tried the SD Formatter.

It worked, but it has to be version 3.0, and you have to have a proper SD card reader, as it doesn't work via your phone.

I hope this helps you get your SD back. :D

Thanks,

I bought my 10.1v at Vodafone Netherlands. (HC 3.0.1 HRI83.BUKD9)

There is no option for me to choose my own language.

I recently read about the build.prop in a recent thread and I decided to check mine out.

It says:

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

region=US !! :eek::confused:

I have no understanding of this Android stuff whatsoever but could I have a problem updating to 3.1 + Touchwiz.

Could you post what your build.prop is saying and what country your in?

TIA

ps Not sure if this is true but I read about people who bought their 10.1v in Germany, that they could select Dutch as language.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LionOne:
Same here.

I've got the SGT 10.1v, in the Netherlands, without dutch language support.

Hey paul, I have a suggestion.

How about you make a stock theme that is 100% stock. Like no batt mod or anything.

The reason being is so people can try out themes, and if they don't like it, then they can just flash a theme that looks exactly stock.

Shouldn't be that hard, I'm guessing.

Anyway, just a suggestion!

Ok

I used the 720p preset for a DVD and it came out very "soft". There was no detail and everything was blurry. Think this is because its native format was 480 (dvd) not 720. Is this correct or is there a bigger issue here?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
You cannot increase the quality of the video - encoding a 480 video @ 720 will just make it look like crap.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I actually went out and asked the Handbrake developers if they're planning to add the option of burning-in external subtitles to the output file, their response was that "no one needs that" and thus they will not add it.

I found the response.. well, not too convincing, and was disappointed to hear that. I doubt it'd be much work for them to add that. But I guess that's that then.

I'm now wondering if I should do a similar how-to for MediaCoder in case some people wish to use that instead, like e.g. if they really need the ability to burn in their subtitles.
[Acer Iconia A500] tedpc01:
Stupid newbie question. How do you get going watching movies. Ie; What format are the movies in, file size, program used and now I'm confused about this Handbrake thingy! I appreciate any help!
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
The files created by Handbrake are .MP4, but the A500 can also play some .AVI files by default. You can also install one of the players from Market to get support for extra formats. I personally use MoboPlayer.

The file size for 720p high-profile videos created by Handbrake are something around 1.5Gt-2Gt, depending on the length of the video obviously.

PROGRESS! Probably some minor bugs and we are A-OK!

Hey now this is GOOD NEWS!

Every since I have had this machine I haven't been able to play HD and I mean Hiiiiigh Definition 720 Mp4 files.

What always happens when I played them they fastforwarded by itself but with the MX player you have the option to play via H/S or S/H meaning play with software or playing with hardware software.

So you simple set to (surprisingly S/H) you can now play those HD files that are 720p and also hear the sound and in sync and everything, before I had to use handbrake and wait for 7 hours to decode a movie from 720 HD Mp4 TO 720 HD Mp4 (weird) using xoom setting wit Handbrake.

Now I can watch HD movies on my tab finally without conversion!

Next step MKV files! Can be seen excellent on Mobo player but without sound and with VLplayer you can hear sound and see the image but the video stutters all the time.

Give it up to our developers/modders! That managed to fix one CRUCIAL AND COMMERCIAL function!

[Acer Iconia A500] Falkner09:
awesome topic, I was just going to look for this. question though: I can't see a way to import your presets file, and also the instructions you give are for some settings that don't appear in my version of Handbrake. probably because i"m running Handbrake 0.9.3 for Mac. I did update once to the latest one (0.9.5 I think) but I reverted back when I realized that the "upgrade" removed all the presets for game consoles. (including 360, PS3 and PSP).

I plan to still use these, so my question is how do I either save the presets in an export file like yours to reload them, or is there anywhere I can download them and import that file?
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I'm sorry but I'm simply not familiar with the Mac version: I don't own any kind of Apple devices at all. In Windows version there is the "Presets" menu at the top and there is an "Import" menu item that one can use to import the presets, I'd think there is something similar on the Mac version too.
[Acer Iconia A500] brunsbanjo:
how about Badaboom?

used settings from Galaxy Tab... works nice!
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
I have tried Badaboom, but it doesn't support high-profile meaning that it produces worse quality and the files still take more storage space. The compression artifacting is very noticeable in high-motion scenes so atleast I rather choose using some more time on the transcoding and getting much better quality, I just set the PC to do a batch transcoding job when I'm sleeping/shopping/watching movies/gaming.

Hi... Great Post !!!!!!!!!! The only thing I had trouble with was that it would not let me set "Width" to "1280.

[Acer Iconia A500] SoHaunted:
I was wondering i've been sing to handbrake to convert 720p music videos and movies into a watchable non stuttering vid. i've been using the OP's setting for high profile 720p videos but instead of saving as mp4 they all save as m4v. How do i stop this from happening.

im not having issues playing them for the most part, but would the files be smaller as mp4 than m4v? every file i convert ends up bigger than the original.

Edit: i just renamed the files to mp4 nd they still work fine and are found :). But is the larger size files expected? Granted they look great but are double the original files size.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
mp4 and m4v are the same thing, just different filename. Just rename the file :)

Are you using the 720p high-profile one or the baseline-profile? High-profile produces better quality and lower filesize than the baseline-one. You can also go to the 3rd tab ("Video") and set "Constant Quality" lower than 20.0 to reduce the output size. Try e.g. 15.0 or 13.0. The drop in quality shouldn't still be too noticeable.

I set the 20.0 in the tutorial because it works well for high-quality original material, like e.g. BluRay, but if your original file is already of a lit lower quality then 20.0 is a bit too much.

Hope this helps :)

[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
Been using DVDFAB for a couple weeks now. I had problems with wedding crashers DVD (non Blu Ray) and the voices being out of synch, so I figured I'd give Handbrake a try, decrypting only with DVDFAB. I do find on DVDFAB I must use soft-decoding in MOBO Player to get audio.

On DVDFAB I use the avi setting and h5.264

Anyhow, file size from Handbrake using high profile I downloaded here was significantly larger. About 3 GB compared to 1.5. Also, the height of the video seemed stretched when viewing on my PC. Overall picture quality was about the same.

Are there some particular settings that could account for these differences?

Handbrake also took much longer although I don't mind that if the end product is better.

Wish I'd gone with Constant Quality.I used average bitrate for more predictable file sizes for about 8 movies. More recently I encoded Iron Man and the new Pirates using Constant Quality.the picture is MUCH better with much smaller file sizes.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
That is exactly why I suggest using Constant Quality. Average bitrate makes sense for streaming, but constant quality is a much better choice if you aren't streaming as, well, it tries to keep picture quality constant and adjusts bitrate accordingly: in high-motion and/or complex scenes bitrate is higher and in low-motion or simple scenes it can drop bitrate without quality suffering.
