[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Like GSM (E/G) and WCDMA (3G/H) and WiFi. Sometimes I find if a download doesn't work on 3G mode, I flip it over to GSM and it works, or WiFi etc. If not, since you just bought it, can you not refund the app and try from scratch?
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
How do you flip over to GSM?
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*

Phone Information

scroll down and "Set preferred network type", "GSM only"
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Heh... that just kills off any connection whatsoever.
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Does nobody have any idea how to solve this (or at least diagnose why on Earth the download is failing?!) I'm going to withhold payment for this app on my credit card if Google don't sort it out.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Have you tried new market and/or factory reset?
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
I don't understand what you mean by 'new market', and factory reset seems seriously drastic to fix this darn problem!
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Before any resets try this;

Go into settings, then manage applications, then find the Market app on the list. Open it, force stop it, then clear cache, then clear data.

Go back to the marketplace. You'll have to accept the terms and conditions again, but see if that helps.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I'm guessing that you've re-started your device? EDIT: just re-read post #1

If advice from @wnp_79 above doesn't work...then

factory reset? - is unfortunately the next step as the Market is linked to your Google account which can only be removed and then re-added via a factory reset.
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Isn't there some log I can use to get more detailed info on why the download was unsuccessful? I can't believe they don't log it somewhere for more useful analysis!
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
there may well be but i don't know it...I'm afraid.

How about installing appbrain application and installing that and then try downloading the problem application through that...all though I suspect that it will use the same mechanism....but worth a try.
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Google have come back to me and told me to do a factory reset as well. This is infuriating, and I really don't want to do it because of a bug in ONE application - Google Market. It's not like there's widespread filesystem corruption or something, which in my mind would justify a factory reset.

I did some more investigation and installed (successfully! other apps install successfully!) the 'aLogcat' app. This gave me quite a bit of useful debug info when I tried to install Widgetlocker Lockscreen. I have the output saved to my SD card and will paste here when I get home from work, but basically it's very similar to the output listed here:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android%20Market/thread?tid=0ffa4f4e6cedcfb8&hl=en

Seems like I'm not the only one having this problem. That was posted in 2010. Now seriously guys, are we still talking about a factory reset for a somewhat common bug in Android Market that has been known about for quite some time? I want to try and figure out what's going wrong here and FIX it instead. It looks like h ttps://android.clients.google.com/market/download/... is returning a 403 forbidden, which causes the main Android UI to display 'download unsuccessful'. Why is the download being forbidden?
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
Have you tried clearing market data yet?
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
For the Market app, the 'clear data' button is greyed out. It's always been greyed out whenever I've looked there.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
try what @wnp_79 suggested in his original post, force close the application then you should be able to clear data and cache (at least that what I can do).
[HTC Desire S] InfernalByte:
I think there's a problem market side so sit tight for now and don't fiddle. I also have a problem with an app (Titanium Back Up) refusing to update.
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Try restart your phone. Maybe, that you have new market update waiting for installation. :)
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
By new market I mean new updated market application, which was recently released by Google. It has several improvements (for ex. It doesn't install all apps at the same time, preventing freezes etc.). It may help. You can find .apk somewhere here.
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Isn't there some way you can update the Market app via the phone, like officially?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I don't know about officially but, you should be able to get hold of the APK and simply install that on your phone....its available all over the internet
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
It is official way, it's just apk file, classic installation.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Have you tried emailing the people who write the application, explaining your problem. Now you can attach the logfile....explain that you don't want to have to factory reset.

If you provide evidence that you have indeed purchased the application they may take pity and send you an APK?

http://teslacoilsw.com/widgetlocker/paypal.php

Just seen that you can always get it from paypal or Amazon application store.

Are you in time to get a refund from Android.
[HTC Desire S] tobarac:
i`m an android newbie, but, you said you had no problems installing other apps...have you tried installing another PAID APP..just an idea
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
UPDATE: I retried the download & install this morning and... it just worked! Glad I didn't perform a factory reset!

The moral seems to be that sometimes, Android Market screws up on Google's end and they forbid you to download certain apps. This is sucky, but it's not going to be fixed by your doing anything on your phone.
[HTC Desire S] steste01:
I know its a bit late telling you this now but I had the same issue. Got a Download failed error for every app! After 3 days it just started working again. Very strange.
[HTC Desire S] :
I think sometimes someone at google trips over a network cable and yanks it out the wall. Maybe down to new version of marketplace rolling out too!
[HTC Desire S] noodles2k:
I can't believe no-one here has given the correct answer!!! It's simple, mount your phone as a disk drive, or take the sd card out an use a reader and rename the .android_secure folder to .android_secure.old.
[HTC Desire S] Pkshields:
Might be a separate problem, but does anyone else have any problems with downloading large apps such as Battleheart or Roboto? Was able to download them pre-market update but they come up as incompatible now.

Hi guys, I have a problem..

My X8 with GingerDX v7 works very slowly... Gangstar west coast hustle, Dungeon hunter and all these games are very laggy.

The boot animation is too slow. Advanced task killer says, I have about 55MB Free RAM... Is anything wrong?

Thx for answers.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigi2010:
With root explorer delete apps that you don't need then use app2sd and oneclickclear ,let me know if that helped..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cust0m:
It helped me a lot, thx guys.

But gangstar still crashes after start a new game..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
But if i delete "Gmail" and/or "Google Maps", for example, i will probably get system instability and random Force Closes.

Correct me if i'm wrong
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigi2010:
Not realy i deleted voice dial,google maps,street view,radio... ram is up to 80 :-)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
I installed v008 and full wipe my phone and now it is faster.

My phone was with v006 and then i updated to v007 without doing a full wipe, probably because of that my phone was slow. Now with v008 and full wipe, i reinstalled my apps and the phone is now faster than ever =D

But if my phone turns slow again i will try that ;P thanks man

BTW, sorry for my bad english, i'm portuguese, if you don't understand anything just say and i try to explain with other words xD

[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
Ok guys so here is my story,

I called Dell and requested a new phone unit because mine kept restarting when opening/closing qwerty. They ordered me replacement device. What just showed up at my door was a brand new phone, box and all with no instructions on how to send back my defective unit. I have never done a Dell device exchange but honestly I don't even know what to do. Did Dell really just give me a new device and maybe forget to send me the return info? I am a very honest person and do not want to keep two devices even if it is Dell's mistake...Anyone else have a similar experience? And what should I do? I feel like calling Dells support will get me nowhere and to be honest I am running out of minutes this month lol
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
You should have got an email confirmation for your replacement request. Email the address given as a contact point in that email and they will send a link to a prepaid label. If you didnt get an email call support. If you dont eventually they will note that you have not returned your faulty device and charge you for the new one.
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
I have no confirmation email of any kind. And the strange this is, when the rep told me I would receive my phone it would be just the unit and I would need to keep my battery and just mail the other phone back. Why did they send me new phone in box?
[Venue Pro General] Talkstory:
Dell did the same for me when two replacements became back ordered. Got two new phones w/cables, batteries, etc. When I called, they said to keep the accesories for my time and trouble, but to return the defective units. I received emails to links for a return label as well as return labels inside of the shipping boxes, FWIW.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Just call Dell mobility and let them know your situation and they SHOULD be able to figure something out for u. Are you sure its a brand new device, because when I talked to them late last week I demanded a brand new device and they said it won't be until the end of the month before I can get a brand new DVP.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
They've told me the same and I always got brand new replacements. If there is no sign of a label and you didnt receive any email contact them. They should send you a link to a prepaid label.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
The return prepaid label comes in a seperate mail - usually in a week time from the data they ship the unit.
[Venue Pro General] omaropa:
I actually asked for 2 replacement devices and both came with the return prepaid label inside them. I would say you're wrong, but with Dell.. you just never know!
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
The reason i am saying is in my case (2 instances), i got it separate. Worst case, tweet AmyatDell and ask her for a return label. She can email one.
[Defy General] FlaviodeLima:
hey guys!

I upgraded my version to DEFY 2.3.4rc1v2 and after that the PC does not identify the SD card more.

Nor am I able to put songs as MP3 ringtones.

Anyone have any tips?

thanks
[Defy General] YashBhatt:
Did u try a different card ?

Also if that doesn't work try to flash nightly's builds,they get regularly updated and i myself find them more stable then RC1...
[Defy General] zorofroozo:
There is no need to flash a nightly, stay away from them if you do not know what you're doing.

You should check if you chose filetransfer mode on your phone, otherwise you won't see the sd when connected to your computer. If you still can't see the sdcard, try fysically unplugging it from your phone and put it directly in your computer. Then check the disk for errors using gparted.

I've used Rock Player Lite for watching AVI Files. anyone find anything else that works great, prefferably free, and on unrooted device?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] souless poet:
Ive been using moboplayer with no problems....seems to work really well.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil&hl=en
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
DICE Player. Works very well with everything that I throw at it. Developer is also VERY active on the Transformer forums. It's been receiving a lot of updates recently. Only gets better & better. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.dice&feature=search_result -- there is a trial version but its for a certain time period.

But since you insisted free, I'd recommend https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&feature=search_result that as my second choice. Get the codec as well.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] aibo:
It does work with the latest version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Yes it does. Do you not see my signature? I've been using DICE + 3.2.

Get the facts straight before talking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] msticninja:
One more person here saying: "I use Dice Player on 3.2, and it's the best player I've used on the TF. Hated to pay for it though ;)"

To the OP though, the best free player so far is Moboplayer for me, but I hate the interface, and alot of the codec's playback were buggy. Dice's build of ffdshow is much more stable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] iGLOMP:
MX player is free and great

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&feature=search_result
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ajamils:
Sorry to hijack the thread but do any of the above mentioned players support HD mkvs ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] wimpanzee:
My biggest gripe about the otherwise excellent moboplayer is that it doesn't remember your file progress. Have to stop a show halfway? Well, you'll be manually seeking to it later. Rock Player, for all its many other faults, did handle resuming quite well.

I'll have to try MX and DICE. I wouldn't mind paying for a player if its awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] zephiK:
DICE Player. I've said it over 20 times in another thread about media players.

DICE has been pushing out updates heavily. I'd highly recommend it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] carrrnuttt:
I highly recommend MX Player. I regularly download my TV shows to watch in bed if I don't feel like firing up the big TV (and to save electricity), and MX has had the best controls out of all of them, although VPlayer comes close, except VPlayer is paid.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] juami:
If you want to save battery, use diceplayer.

Diceplayer use only 30-50% of CPU power. MX player(or vPlayer) use 70-100% of CPU power.

there is a comparison using Galaxy S.

http://sgalaxy.cz/forum/44/test-video-prehravacu/

diceplayer run at 400Mhz. MX video player run at 800Mhz.

I agree, Rock Player does hold position, which is great!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dandunn98:
If you don't mind me asking, where do you obtain your TV Shows? Can you get them on your Transformer or do you have to get them on normal CPU?

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] angerized:
DicePlayer is for me the best HoneyComb video player there is at the moment, simply because it uses the "Lights Out" dim mode.

Having the status bar always visible is so distracting that neither moboplayer nor MX were pleasant to use for me.

Of course, DicePlayer is not without its faults, plus it's not free, but it is being actively developed, and they listen to their customers, as they are constantly trying to improve the software.

I just got a reply from their support, to help diagnose subtitles issues.

I suggest you give the trial a go, it's worth it for the "Lights Out" mode alone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dandunn98:
what is the "lights out" mode?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] angerized:
The HoneyComb specific display mode that dims the bottom bar to 4 little dark gray dots (as seen on the youtube app), intead of the bottom status bar that shows the time, the battery, the notifications and so on.. it is the closest to full screen mode that you can get on HoneyComb, since there are no physical buttons.

Having that bar always on was really annoying to the fullest extent, for me.

Moboplayer, MX and the likes are compiled agains FroYo, that's why they are not able to dim the HoneyComb bar, and moboplayer seems to simply ignore the e-mails I sent them.

So I bought DicePlayer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] mad.green.robot:
Would any of you mind trying this file and see if your favorite player can play it properly? It's an MKV ripped in AVC high profile and HE-AAC.

www dot filesonic dot com slash file slash 1737963574

(Sorry, had to post the link this way cuz as a n00b here I'm not supposed to post links until I have 8 posts.)

So this is what I see on my Transformer...

Moboplayer would play it but only in soft-decoding mode. The video part runs smoothly, but audio is distorted. Verdict: unwatchable.

Diceplayer is more awkward, it plays back at < 10 FPS, and audio is just an electronic buzz. Verdict: far, far worse than Mobo.

So I'm curious to know how many of you are finding that your Diceplayer is suitable for all MKV files you can download off the web.

For the record, the above file runs without a hitch on iPad, and I know it should run on Samsung Galaxy phones too. But how about Samsung Galaxy Tab and all other Tegra tablets?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Bjd223:
WTF? Read your signature...really? I do not read anyone's signature ever. It's usually full of bull**** that no one cares about and expecting people to read it is rediculous.

P.S. I use Diceplayer and it works well enough.

how to work with stream from media share

I have new TF101 and have always used Rockplayer in the past on other Android devices. I see stock rom has the MyNet app on my TF. It automatically found my media streamer (at home) and I tried to play an avi file and it didn't work. However, it is trying to use the MyNet or stock player I think.

Anyone know of a way to make Rockplayer play a file from a media server or make it default player so MyNet would use it?

Sorry for reserecting old thread, but figured I would start here vs. starting new thread. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ahess0815:
I like MX video player... It has nice gestures to control volume, brightness, and seeking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] xbs:
Try bsplayer great for streaming from smb sources.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] trevj:
Hi. Sorry if this has already been discssed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. I've been playing some short AVI movies on the TF101 recorded with a Canon G9 camera. I found the following:

Mobo (v.1.0 ARM V7_VFPV3 codec) - can't use h/w decoding, s/w gives b/w playback with some blurred misplaced colours

Rock - no h/w, s/w seems fine

Dice - seems fine

MX - seems fine

Has anyone else observed similar behaviour?

[Edit: It looks as if the VFP accelerator for Rock is an APK file which wasn't from the Market - so far not installed. Does this sound right?]
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sgill74:

I use MX player and the majority of my movies are mkv. It has to be on software mode but plays them flawlessly on revolution 2.3 rom. I did find it was choppy on other roms. Not sure why Revolution was the only one that ran smooth. Also try movie browser HD to sort yer movies.

33% after 5 hours, but taking into account:

1. Phone set to GSM Auto (PRL), BT off

2. Screen brightness set to max, note how long the screen was on during the 5 hours from the screenshot

3. Three hours spent going in and out of signal/bad coverage areas

4. Music on headphones + DSP Manager enabled about three hours

5. Watched 1 hour of video (max brightness)

6. Heavy internet use and messaging for approx 4 hours

7. 15 minutes of phone calls

so 33%... does that seem normal after the above?
[HTC Desire S] jez9999:
Looks quite typical to me. Music on for several hours? You're taxing the processor a bit there. You'll want to recharge the phone nightly (as all of us do...)
