I just got back from doing mine at a T-Mobile store and mine is the same as the leak also.

I'm pretty sure that the HBOOT is different. My official one is 89.0005. I think that football's leak was 89.0000, but I could be wrong.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmakk2055:
Is this rooted
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
well well well apparently the football's version was the right one and everyone who got 2.09 before were like bad luck ppl :P. well thing is 2.19 was also release keys and final afterall.

maybe ota was 2.09 and sdcard version is 2.19 ?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
First off to be fair I did not install that file but i did download it, the file size is the same as football's file that he posted and the android-info.txt is the same. Has anybody installed it, if so can you confirm if its the same as football's?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
yes iv posted that earlier, version number is same as football's. plus now many users posting they are getting same version i.e. 2.19 via sdcard update from tmobile.

well that was other thread iv posted :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
I know that's what you posted earlier I was just confirming it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
this is getting very annoying, So far I count three different versions all from T-Mobile :mad:

What I have found there are two different sdcards being sent to T-Mobile stores, one directly from HTC and one from T-Mobile. The one from HTC has the MyTouch 3g and 4g updates on it and the one from T-Mobile has the MyTouch and G2 updates on it.

So it seems:

1. Different versions depending on where the sdcard came from

2. Different version being sent out OTA

:confused:

The sdcard directly from HTC has a later version then the sdcard directly from T-Mobile.. possible last minute bugs fixes? Maybe the other versions will get another OTA to sync with the HTC versions. Or (more possible) T-Mobile is sending out as the official update the soak update by mistake lol.. I dont know, I suppose it will all work itself out in the end but I suspect there is going to be a big "OOPS" moment from T-Mobile in the very near future :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisdarwin:
Has anyone actually tried installing this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisdarwin:
Wow, so no one?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
I did install it I am running it right now no issues
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
Yes I installed it, and it's running fine on my wife's phone, & is the same as my tmo instore update.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krilugo:
QUOTE=jjbadd385 - Yes I installed it

SO I have the stupid question. how did you install it? does your phone needs to be unrooted? does your phone needs to be rooted?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
Not sure about the rooted part, but the instructions are in this thread somewhere, it's where I found it, you have to hold down volume and power, etc. Just search in this thread until you find the instructions. jj
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
Here you go (IF YOU ARE ROOTED YOU WILL LOSE IT)

1. Download the PD15IMG.zip file posted http://megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC

2. Put file on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in any folder)

3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)

4. power off

5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot

6. it will scan file when its done it should ask you to update push volume up

It will erase all apps and data on your phone but everything on sdcard will be fine, basically its like a new phone only it will have 2.3.4 you can get your apps back by going to Android Market https://market.android.com/ log in and go to MY Library

I recently rooted my phone but forgot the issues with OTA...now I have the android guy and ! after every reboot. Can I use the autoroot tool again to fix this?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcpo117:
Did you happen to make a nandroid backup because if so you should be able to get into hboot by powering the device on while holding the down volume button and get to recovery from there and then load the backup.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humblewarfare:
I didnt make a backup. I got back into hboot and re-ran the steps listed...Im up but seem to be stuck at 1x. any ideas why?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stretchwookie:
this is a LOOONG shot but is the only thing i know.

on the samsung moment, you could call the device from another phone. once the moment started ringing, you would ignore the call, and IMMEDIATELY and REPEATEDLY tap the home button. this would allow you into the phones home screen, but wouldnt remove the lock. i hope this helps...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] swampdonkey101:
Good Day

I have had the stock 101 from day one, installed all updates and find it to be a fairly good unit for a number of things except video playback. Not sure where the problem originates but this tab is useless for video playback. I am astounded on bad this tab operates. I consider it useless in its current state. I purchased the unit to read books surf and play videos nothing else. It can do the first two fairly well. I have tried just about everything that previous posts have recommended to no avail. Creating directories on the external SD card that disappear. It sometimes plays the video other times it will not. I have owned a few tabs and I consider this one to be the poorest one yet. I would not recommend the 101 to anyone that wants to watch videos without having to piss around to make the 101 operate as it should. This unit should be able to play most video types without having to resort to apps that trick it to work. I will now shut this thing down and not use it anymore. For me it is truly not worth the money I paid for it. This should never have been released to the public

I will fire up my Archos 101 and watch all of the same videos until I cannot stand it anymore. The 101 has no real video playback issues other than it does not support flash he last time I checked. It has its own flaws but it video playback is not one of them.

I really like the TF101 but I cannot overlook its clearly unstable, amazingly childish and poorly thought out video playback section. It is stock and I have not messed with it. I am not interested in spending countless hours conducting surgery on it to make it work. This tab should be able to play most videos out of the box.

My dislike for apple is slowly but surely being eroded with products such as the TF101.

ASUS or Android, you have a problem with your product. Fix it!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CaNsA:
Not really a problem, and deffo not a "serious" one at that...

I have been playing flash videos on my TF101.

For the majority of other formats i use MX Video Player

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad

Once installed it will prompt for a codec and direct you back to the market place to download it.

Good app, streams all my movies across my network when used with a cifs manager.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] arthurbrownleeiv:
Funny, lots of us don't have any issues on ours.

If your rant is legit, go buy an iPad. If it isn't, go soak your head troll.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
Which types of videos ?

Divx : try mx video player it's a good player and it's free

Mkv : diceplayer, paid app.

Btw : do you think you can play divx videos on the ipad out of the box ? The answer is no, so it's not better than the transformer for that purpose. And it doesn't have flash player.

Edit : the transformer can play wmv hd out of the box with honeycomb 3.2. What do you think about that ? :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swampdonkey101:
No troll here! Lighten up yank. Crawl back under your bankrupt rock. I enjoy my technology when it works. Just want it to work

Why do I read countless threads about such problems. They would not be there if they did not exist. I just want my unit to play stand alone on board videos without messing about. I down loaded the eight seasons of Red Dwarf. I would really like to watch on public transport.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
Is that hard for you to just install an application ? If so it's also hard to transfer your videos on the tf. Then you shouldn't watch them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] msticninja:
Well, I hope you got that rant out of your system, because it wasn't really helpful to anyone but you. You could've summed it all up in one sentence: "Personally, I don't recommend the TF for playing videos."

I have an Archos 101 as well, and it does play video very well, because Archos is a media player company. They always have been. They paid extra for all those codecs, and skimped out on everything else. Asus made a tablet, Archos made a media player. Don't compare them.

And for the record, Diceplayer has played every file I've thrown at it. The AC3 codec pack for the Archos was $15, and it only enabled 2 or 3 new codecs. Diceplayer is $6 and it plays almost all codecs.

P.S. I still don't see how this relates to apple. Apple only supports MP4 and MOV. And if you use MOV, you probably still have an AOL account.

P.P.S. Also, what do you mean by "serious video problems"? It says in the specs what codecs it supports, and it plays them perfectly. I think you got spoiled by Archos, and thought every Android device had infinite codec support.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CaNsA:
Then can i refer you to my previous post, which happens to be the 1st reply to yours.

It obvious you have just come on, ranted and because you haven't heard what you wanted/expected you have refused to listen to any advice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] swampdonkey101:
Thanks!

I was not knowingly ranting. I just lay it out on the line. I failed at diplomacy 101. Tell it like it is. But I do expect value for money. Can't say I got that with the TF101 for what I want it to do. I have 4 pc's at home. Just want to surf and watch video on a small form factor. I think many people buy a tab for just what I am doing otherwise just use your PC. I guess I really do not understand what a tab is used for.

I am aware the differences the between the two brands. I am not sure if skimped out is the right term. The Archos is 100 less. I a not expecting it to perform like the TF101. But for that 100 I should get a fully functional video player. For 400 it should work out of the box. Remember the price of a PC's is comparable. Maybe I should not expect much for 400.

I am not concerned how much a add on costs as long as it works. Convert and and it

will work.

Just trying to make a point. Apple makes a good product right out of the box. I just do not want to live in a prison cell. Ipad is still way down the list. Steve and I are not currently talking to each other.

I have tried, AVS4you, DVD fab, Handbrake. All converted as recommended. Also loaded Daroon, Mobo, Rockplayer, Rockplayer lite. I wonder how may I have to try before I get the right one. I have spent two days reading through posts and trying everyone's recommendations as stated in my post. lots of hard work. Thanks to everyone for for the countless help threads. Been there done that. Something is not right.

I stand corrected. Very serious problems was the wrong term to use. Maybe something like " 400 spent and it cannot play the most common video formats, go figure".

I still think it is a firmware problem that should never have been. Not sure if it is a hardware problem, too many inconsistencies with on again off again performance. There are too many posts out there regarding this problem for it to be a non issue or operator error.

Your right, I did get spoiled by a somewhat inferior product. It is not very often less gets more. They are meant to do the same thing, with different quality of bits.

Thanks to everyone for you help threads. I have tried about everything that is recommended. Maybe it is time to RMA it. Do not think that will fix it. I am looking for a good media player similar to the TF101 but plays common video formats. Hardware based of course. I already have a few PC's do not need another one. Any recommendations?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
anyone know why I can't play .MP4 videos anymore they are from my helmet cam
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
What player are you using?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
I think one big problem is a lot of the players are not using hardware decoding including the stock video player. Why?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CaNsA:
Someone obviously didnt watch the video before registering on XDA
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
I Can't find any that work so give me a few to try the mobo mx don't work too well if at all these are like 720p videos too
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
Dice player works well because it uses hardware decoding.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
I will try it thanks for the help

I get a message that says video can not be played any idea on what would cause that. Note this video works on my laptop just fine
[Eee Pad Transformer General] arthurbrownleeiv:
You ***** and moan about having to use a program to watch video on your TF, but any of your "4" pc's are going to be the same. I find this highly entertaining. Also, you waste all this time trying things, and writing your snooty thread, that you could have spent doing a basic search to see which formats and programs work best.

Get your useless ass outta these forums, you obviously didn't watch the video or pay attention to the rules.

And instead of biting on your political jab, I'll just remind you, that without us, you'd not exist.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nego_0:
i have issues with mkv files in hardware decoding, it plays plays great but sound goes out after a min of playback on all players. But software decode they play fine. Give it time this tab is still a baby. It will keep growing, or so i hope
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
No need to convert your downloaded videos, if you REALLY have problem, then you are the only one. Like everybody said : mxplayer or the player you mention (except daroon because it doesn't use third party codecs I think) should just do fine for divx. Sure the transformer have flaws but playing divx is not one of them.

Like you said you should RMA it if you're not satisfied. I don't know why you bought a transformer if the only thing you want is a media player, you should have kept the archos. But of course you won't have the nice screen of the asus.

@Ellingsoc : do you have a sample ? I'll try it.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digitaldreamer7:
They must not have google up there in the land of pancakes and hockey because I googled "video codecs for android" and it answered your question. It's even in french.

Please... Just box it up and return it, take the blue pill, and get an ipad before you hurt yourself.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] KenifJambo:
MX player has been great for me.

I was also surprised that it was not great at playing videos "out of the box"

I also have a Creative ZiiO, which is not a great tablet but it's been pretty good at playing videos on it's default app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
To be honest (and this isn't a dig at you, because I do understand your pain!), you probably needed to have done a little bit more research before buying. "Stock" Android, whether Froyo, Gingerbread, or Honeycomb really only supports the same basic codecs and containers as the iPad. For the most part this is Googles fault, because they could implement at least Xvid in the core media playback frameworks at no cost.

So, in essence, your line "400 spent and it cannot play the most common video formats, go figure" applies equally well to the iPad too, and it's the most popular tablet in creation!

With this in mind, the TF video playback is fine if you stick to the supported codecs, though you can use 3rd party apps (e.g. Rockplayer, Dice player) etc to get a slightly broader choice of codecs and containers.

FWIW, the Galaxy Tab 7" is a "better" media player than any of the current crop of Tegra-2 based Honeycomb tablets. In addition, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 does support DivX/AVI out of the box too.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
Agreed, that's what I was trying to say from the start :)

I also agree about the galaxy tab 7, it's a very good media player it can even play 1080p files without problem, plus it's also a good phone :) I love it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Mine plays videos just fine, its also great with flash. Maybe ASUS just hates Canadians. They didnt prevent an American from watching Top Gear (the British show) so its probably specific to you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
Do you guys use multiple video players?

or do you guys choose a movie on your tablet and try opening it in different players?

I tried the trial DICE player but didnt see a big difference from the stock player.

TO be fair, id have to check my video specs first...

But, did i miss something when playing on DICE, do i have to manually select "hardware decoding", or is it auto?

Also, I know the standard to all tablet is IPAD.. weve all compared it to this. Truth be told, ive found myself a little pissed that adroid is lacking certain features.. I guess my thought is: now that youve seen how apple takes care of things, what they provide, and youve had this much time to observe; how can you still come up short in at minimum, matching them?

BUT.. for all the complaining and *****ing we (myself included) do, a simple google search will reveal that IPAD2 has its own fanbase complaining about Gamma issues on video playback. And their codecs supported?... the same as ASUS.

So...

"Dont stop believing....Hang on to that feeeeeeeling"

:p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
@turbulent28 : I have 3-4 players installed. When I want to watch a movie I open it via a file explorer then when prompt I choose the player I like, it depends on my mood :)

And yes all products have their flaws, there is no perfection in this world.

Off topic : Were you singing the journey version or the glee version ? The original version is so much better. :)

Typical canuck. Drink milk out of a plastic bag, sit around and don't do **** other than to complain.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dubge:
you keep saying it cant play common video files but what files are you calling common?

I have 2 transformers, mine I have played a few movies, I think they were avi and mp4 files, my daughters I have put about 10-12 movies on but I dont remember the files, I know there was mp4 and avi as well as something else but both tablets played all the files. Only file I had trouble with was mkv and even that played the video flawless but I had no sound.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
Maybe you can try via dropbox ? It's free.

@dubge : try diceplayer, there is a trial version. It plays mkv with audio.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
I have drop box but how do i get it so you can download something from it i have never tried before
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
TL:DR OP doesn't understand how licensing works and expects ASUS to break the law to bundle codecs with the device so they can be sued.

Glad we cleared this up! Next time buy an iPad so you can realize the iPad doesn't playback a lot of video formats as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] carrrnuttt:
LOL @ this thread.

I watch all kinds of video files on my TF101; from avi (divx and xvid), to mkv, to MP4 and even wav. I even have Plex on it, which streams videos from any of the PCs in my home network I'm having it scan. I also have PlayOn, though I prefer Plex nowadays. Oftentimes, when I don't feel like firing up the big TV to watch in bed, I just download my TV shows and watch them that way.

I didn't even count Netflix and Flash-hacked Hulu.

I love my TF101. So many choices for the ones willing to do the research and work. Either that, or having many if you are willing to pay a small token to those who did the research and work for you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aibo:
Try uploading the file in the "public" folder. After that, long press on the file, you'll have the options you can choose from : "share", "copy a link".
