if you moved the apps to your SD card, you lose the desktop icon. with froyo and the apps to SD app, it wouldnt disappear until you rebooted. but with gingerbread and the native apps to SD app, icons will disappear rather quickly.

Hey forum!

As of recently the standard video player on android can play .mkv format and I have been using it a lot. But suddenly yesterday when I was playing an episode of "Death Note" it froze on 5 minutes.

Now I'm asking you, has anyone had similar problems to this?

And can someone tell me if this is sw or hw related?

Or is it just possible my SD card copied some bits of the videos in the wrong place (giving faulty .mkv files?)

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] weebeast:
Had the same problem with some MKV files. You should just download another version of the video or convert it
[LG Optimus 2x] degast:
Thanks, gonna try it right away.
[LG Optimus 2x] amateru:
I've tried only 1 mkv file at the moment.. though the video and subtitle are running fine, the audio is really bad (scratches n hisses)

I actually have quite a library of mkvs but haven't got the time to test the others

I'll update when I've tested the video player with other mkvs
[LG Optimus 2x] degast:
I guess it depends, I have played Far Cry movie with srt subtitles, it ran smooth and fine (even sound) and I played Rambo 1 with srt (kept hogging the video, got blurry). so I removed the subtitles and it ran smooth again.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Got really bad sound with some other player, think it was MoboPlayer. With stock player it ran nice and smooth, but tried only one mkv 720p movie with ac3 5.1 sound and subtitles.

With microHDMI-HDMI cable sound goes to TV (stereo downmix) with unexpectedly good picture quality. Unfortunately my AV receiver doesn't have HDMI so I don't know will the phone give real ac3 stream out.

Latest 622 stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] degast:
Tried other videos yesterday, played another mkv full length movie just fine.

Only the episodes of Death Note I have seem to have the "random freeze" to them.

Any idea what's causing this?

Bad download? (they play fine on pc)

Or something with the MKV decoder on the phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Well that isn't phones fault, it's just badly compressed or damaged file.

Download again, or try some mkv fixing/scanning tools. Like this one: http://www.fanhow.com/knowhow:Fix_MKV_Video_Files_27725469
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Problems with playback of "mkv" files are caused by the encoding profiles used when encoding the video inside the mkv file.

mkv are just a container - usually containing a video and an audio track

the container itself doesnt make any difference regarding the playback, but the way the video track inside was encoded does make a difference.

the video inside are often compressed using so called h264/mpeg-4 compression format, when encoding this there are several different encoding options which are organised into something called profiles and levels.

read more about these here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC

The nvidia tegra chip in our mobiles only support up to a certain profile level, namely up to profile level called baseline L4.0 - so any video that is encoded with options that result in a higher profile level will have problems with playback on the phone.

use the software "media info" to check what kind of video and audio track are inside your mkv file and at which encoding settings they were encoded

http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

If a video is encoded with settings not supported by the tegra chip, then your only option is to either reencode the video using supported settings, or try another version.

Stuttering, skipping, break ups in video with colored macroblocks, slowmotion playback etc. are all signs of a video compressed with non supported settings. Not an error of the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
make sure the profile if you want to play mkv on the phone, because many mkvs have high profile@4.1(it's only for pc) and you have to downgrade to baseline profile@3.0 / baseline @4.0

and make sure to see the video bitrate don't get too high

also the audio has to downgrade from dts 6.1 to stereo 2.0(but make sure to test first because it can be wrong :D)
[LG Optimus 2x] degast:
Last 2 posts helped great!

The indiana jones movie stats:

Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec

Format profile : High@L3.1

Format settings, CABAC : Yes

Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames

Death note video:

Format : AVC

Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec

Format profile : High@L5.1

Format settings, CABAC : Yes

Format settings, ReFrames : 6 frames

is it that Format profile High@L ### I should be watching for?

although obviously 3.1 vs 5.1 should explain why.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Yes, the profile "High" is not supported, neither at level 3.1 or higher (allthough with the latest firmware some High@L3.1 videos may play of other encoding settings are relaxed)

some of the encoding settings here causing the videos to be profile High@L3.1 or High@L5.1 - are these:

Format settings, CABAC : Yes

Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames

The baseline profile do not allow the use of CABAC encoding, and only 1 ReFrame - in these cases video are compressed using both CABAC and 5-6 ReFrame settings, causing them to be part of the higher profile levels.

if you look at mediainfo for video files you record with the videocamera in the phone you get a pretty good picture of how it should look - for instance like this for 720p video

Video

ID : 2

Format : AVC

Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec

For a 1080p video it would instead say

[LG Optimus 2x] degast:
I see, I've always checked videos for resolution / bitrate / audio bitrate / etc... But never had to go in-depth like this before ;)

[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
search mxplayer in android market it plays all codecs and allows you to switch from software to hardware decoding if your hardware support it and will use that automatically if it does, its free and is optimized for dualcore and tegra devices.

Playback with mkv on software decoding using this player is very smooth no lag or sinc issues so far.
[Wildfire General] MC-ARNIE:
Hey Guy's could somebody give me some advice here as i'm well and truly stuck with adding ROM's to my wildfire. . .

Right i'll try break this down as easy as i can, i bought my wildfire 3 days ago, and its running 2.2.1, i watched one of the latest video tutorials on how to root using Unrevoked (which i now know doesnt work), I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, then uninstalled it. I then Added the modded Android USB Drivers. Run Alpharex to change my Hboot, and set to S-Off, Then tried running the latest version of Unrevoked, i got the dreaded "Is your firmware to new" message. . . I've always got debugging mode running and allow 3rd party apps!

I then mentioned this to somebody who told me of a different way around rooting my device so . . .

I then downloaded Gingerbreak.apk, then i got Astro off the Market and run Gingerbreak, my phone restarted and WAYHEY I've now got superuser access! :)

I got ROM Manager off the Market, then i downloaded Clockwork recovery mod 2.5.0.7, CM 7.03, Gapps 20110115, formatted my SD to fat32, put the zips directy onto the root of the SD card. . .

I made a flash recovery, go to install ROM from SD, phone restarts then i get the "Red Exclamation mark triangle"??? i've tried two different SIGNED versions of CM with no luck with either. I've tried running the Anonimo ROM and yet again i get the same red exclamation mark. . .

I've manually tried running recovery from hboot and yet again i get the same problem. . . . :confused:

I'm not doing nothing wrong here am i? As ive watched/read/researched dozens of how to's and followed every step exactly as it says!

I will be watching this post constantly as i'm itching to get rid of this nasty FROYO.

Thank you for your time. :)
[Wildfire General] Balino:
I just had to reboot into recovery from hboot menù and selected the zip I put there before (SD root)... If you're trying to istall cm then you don't need to use Rom manager, u can use the usual recovery.

I just tried to istall the latest CM Nightly Builds and 7.1.0 release candidate, I dind't have problems!

EDIT :

Oh dude, it seems you don't have recovery istalled, just follow this tips :

Put the file attached into root of your sd card, then power down your phone, and boot into hboot menu.

let the phone check for a "PC49IMG.zip" file and then press volume up.

after that remove the "PC49IMG.zip" from your sd card and put the rom you want to istall always into root of your sd card, then just istall the rom from there!

[Wildfire General] MC-ARNIE:
WOW!!!!! It's actually doing it!!! :) You've both got a thanks vote off me :) but one thing now (sorry) . . . . ive rebooted my phone and its shown up the blue cyogen mod 7 screen with the blue circle, and it spins round a few times then shows the droid on the skateboard again and starts spinning again, its been doing this for way over 10 minutes now, is there something missing? do i have to boot Gapps from recovery off my sd card before i restart? :)
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
No, Its not necessary to flash GApps beforehand. What you are getting is a bootloop.

Reflash Cyanogenmod, but, before doing that, make sure you do a wipe. (Factory Reset / Data Wipe Option in Clockworkmod). Also make sure you wipe cache, dalvik cache (Under advanced), and format /system partition (Also under advanced)

After clearing all this, then reflash the CM Zip file and try again.
[Wildfire General] MC-ARNIE:
Thank you kind sir :) i did these exact steps just after i wrote my last post and i'm now VERY HAPPILY running 2.3.4 :D

Hi all!!

I'm on 2.2.1 and everything was working nice with the stock email client (the one without exchange security) without any problems, until five days ago I found out that every app that was using the camera (goggles, barcode scanner) or even asphalt 6 gave me force closes!! You are going to ask yourself what does email app have to do with this? Although I didn't believe it, I went ahead with a new completely wipe rom install, kernel and apps!!

Everything works fine now, except the email app!! I habe the stock email app but every time I open a new email it gives me force close, as soon as I reopen the app and the email shows up as read now, I can open it correctly?!?!

Also when I try to delete the email.apk from system/app and copy the one without the exhange security which is exactly the same as the stock one all apps above stop working?!?!?! Any ideas from anyone? I've already installed other app from market, but they insist on running in the background and I don't like this!!

Any help appreciated!!

Shall I format my sd card?

Thanks!

Ive recently installed jokerdroid4.2 and have suffered some crazy battery drain. Pretty much every night if it isnt charging and left on battery, by the time i wake up ~50% of the charge has gone - last night i left it at 97 and this morning it was 53. Is there anything i can do to sort this issue because i never had it on cm7 and actually had great battery life on that. Thanks :)
[Wildfire General] androidino95:
fix = uninstall task manager and when charged at 100% (still plugged in to charger) download battery calibration app from market and do battery calibration. after that give the battery few full charge/discharge cycles (charge it to 100% and dont charge until battery dies and phone turns off). do that after flashing any rom. if that doesnt work, its a hardware problem prolly.

hit thanks if i helped u. ;)
[Wildfire General] bynge:
How does that help ?

He is saying battery is drained quickly, not that battery values are wrong.

There are apps that shows which software has consumed battery and by how much. Check in one of those list. If you haven't started using any new heavy apps then problem is related to basic functions like Mobile Data Network or WiFi or Cell Tower Signal etc.

Fix for these problems should be listed out by devs, but choose to ignore.

connect the phone to your pc in disk mode, in windows go to folder options and choose show hidden files just to be safe, copy everything on your SD card to a temporary folder, that's it really.

So i decided to upgrade to newer ROM version, formatted SD card, booted linux, everything good, except i got "SD card blank or has unsupported file system" error. I tried everything, formatting it from both Windows 7 and WM, re-installing ROM, no good.

I cant mount nor erase SD card from Android.

I must add that my card worked perfect before this in an older ROM version (i think from April. 2011) and it works good in WM.

Phone works fine except this problem. :mad:

No, i don't have another phone or camera that uses SD cards.

SD card works good in WM 6.5 and it worked in previous Android build, it wouldn't run new ROM if it's not working.

I thought about changing kernel and radio to newer versions.

And there is another problem, my screen is not always responding to touch, basicly it isn't working as it should be both in WM and new ROM :confused:

Format the sd card using a sd card adapter of some sort on your computer. When you format the sd card set file allocation size to 4096mb or less (supported by most phones). Finally type " cd ( disk location)" onto command prompt. The "chkdsk" command should check your sd for errors. This method worked on my mobile.:)
