Always been accurate for me outdoors of course less reliable indoors as it cannot see the sky .

Possibly try the latest KG6 modem .

Faster fix from the market and GPS Status may help .

Thank you for the input!

I tried faster fix, the arrow finally landed right on my building, but a couple seconds later, it jumped to a located two blocks away. The other times, the arrow was at least 200+ feet away. I will flash 2.3.4 sometime soon, even though I've rooted my phone, flash custom kernel and all, I am still waiting for that update firmware to 2.3.4 to show up in Kies... :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeitgeb3r:
From my remote village, the Google Latitude location is never accurate. It jumps around as you described (I'm still using 2.33 firmware).

However, if I turn on WIFI (even though there's no wifi around...or home wifi is turned off), it becomes more accurate and less jumpy.

When I'm riding around my tuktuk, Latitude is very accurate (not jumpy) if I turn on both WIFI and GPS.
[General Questions and Answers] extrabigmehdi:
Hi I wad surprised by the number of widget switches that allow to enable / disable the auto rotate screen feature (there are plenty) ; but not a single one works properly on my galaxy tab. I mean when I enable with any of these Widgets the "auto rotate" setting it works fine, but when I disable it, it looses the current screen orientation and set a predetermined one.

Another thing,im stuck at 2.3.2,i cant do OTA (Software update -> Phone Info) so what do i do...?

[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
reboot the phone, if it still happens, hard reset! whatever you do, do not OTA, update via fastboot or flashtool
[Xperia Play General] Cat_On_Droid:
BIG question,will Hard Reset destroy my ROOT ,BL,and 2.3.2 ?and how do you/where do you update via fastboot? i need an Img. right and do the same thing like play_modded.img way correct?

i think i fixed the Acore problem...thanks ;)

However,how do i upgrade to 2.3.3 with .184 ?
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
look around the development forum for an updated system image with 2.3.3 and .184 (probably gonna find it with .185), then you do the same thing, copy it into the fastboot folder and say fastboot flash system system.img and you're laughing :)

and yes, play_modded.img was the right thing

Also, i'm fairly confident in saying that Hard reset doesn't loose you root or anything like that, just apps and the likes get deleted!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
Hello,

I'm having some problems about playing 720p videos from HTC Desire Z. It plays some 720p videos smoothly which are recorded by itself (also there is a fps problem in there, some are about 19fps).

I wonder which {container, codec} we should use to play 720p videos smooth. I tried with several media players like Vplayer, Moboplayer, Rockplayer and Android's default media player.

I tried some files. Here their properties:

Container: MKV

Video Codec: H264

Audio Codec: AC3

Overall Bitrate: ~4.5Mbps

Length: 71min

Size: 2.2GB

This was a concert video.

--

Container: MKV

Video Codec: H264

Audio Codec: AC3

Overall Bitrate: ~4.5Mbps

Length: 40min

Size: 1.1GB

This was a tv show.

Rockplayer can play this videos but not smooth enough. It freezes for 5-10 milliseconds at every 1-2 seconds.

Using stock 2.3.3 ROM and stock SD Card.

Phone can play 480p videos smoothly but I think it can play 720p videos since it can record 720p videos.

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
The DZ isn't actually powerful enough to play 720p videos from an external source. I can barely play 480p AVI smoothly. MKV and MP4 are a total lost cause for me. Haven't tried after I installed Virtuous 2.0 and had it OC'd to 1.5GHz though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
As far as I know, DZ has hardware decoding for 720p videos. So it can play 720p videos and DZ records with 8mbps and encodes with h264 and its container is 3gp. Only difference is container. Maybe changing container will fix this but I tried with avi, mkv. Maybe I should try with 3gp container.

Anyone tried?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcchuin:
Try dice player
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
Tried with its trial version but it says "sorry, this video can not be played" when i try to play video which I mentioned at my first post (tv show one) and also another video which is a mp4 video.

DicePlayer can not play any video in the phone :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
I use Rock Player Lite and it can play MP4 vids properly. Granted, I just OC'd my DZ to 1.5GHz, and an MP4 file encoded in h.264 with an average bitrate of 1.5kbps plays flawlessly. At stock speeds the audio goes out of sync and artefacts get introduced. Haven't tried MKV files since I OC'd yet though. Software decoding in RPL.

Hardware decode basically is the same as the default media player, software decoding takes up more CPU resources, but is able to play more formats and containers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroth1439:
I haven't found any way to reliably open mkv container on desire z. MX video player by far does the best job (and yes, I've used other players like rockplayer, dice player, etc) but it still plays 720p mkv h264 slightly choppy. 720p h264 mp4 plays fine with software and hardware decoder, while 720 avi xvid can play smoothly on a small overclock.

I try to avoid 720 anyway because the difference between 720 and 480 on a 3.7inch screen is barely visible to me lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Exactly lol. As long as it can play 480 on the DZ it's more than fine by me. 720p on a 480x800 screen... ~_~

MX Video Player.. Never heard of it. Gonna search and try that out. How does it compare to Rock Player?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroth1439:
i really liked rockplayer for a long time until i found out mx player had software codecs tweaked for ARMv7. Check it out on the market, its free anyway lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
I tried mx player but still there is the same problem.

I also tried to change the container to mp4. PC plays well but when I try to play on phone, video is smooth but there is no sound and audio codec is ac3. Maybe the problem is here.

I tried with rockplayer using software decoding, there is sound but laggy video.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Try MX with SW. Works fine on any container and format so far for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
Tried in 3 available mode in MX Player but still laggy video :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoReverse:
The trick is to use video in the correct settings for the hardware decoder. If you do that then it won't matter if it's in mkv or mp4.

For the video portion, use baseline profile h.264 with the maximum bitrate (VBV) capped at 8mbps up to 720p

For audio, use AAC-LC in stereo.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
I think so. But there is a problem when playing MKV files. There is problem after I changed container to mp4, though.

But the audio codecs of videos which I tried are not AAC. Maybe this causes the problem.

I don't know, how hard can it be to play videos which have AAC audios.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChronoReverse:
Use Handbrake to encode and it'll be easy to specify AAC for audio. You can use the iphone profile for encoding.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesutcank:
Hi again,

I've solved my problem. I use dice player which plays 720p mkv videos (even with ac3 audio codec).

I wrote here dice player can't play any video in the phone. That was a hardware decoding problem, I think. When I try to play an unsupported video format with hardware decoding, hardware decoding crashes and unable to play videos as it should be.

So, after that if I restart the phone hardware decoding comes back and plays videos perfectly.

Is this a common issue? If it is not should I do a factory reset to my phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azrash:
To be honest, with our default 800*480 screen, we would not be able to take advantage of 720p quality as 720p is 1280*720 (Unless we stream it to a HDTV or Monitor). Re-encoding it to 800*450 is wiser to conserve file size as well:)

found this recommended settings at afterdawn for Handbrake or MEGUI. Tried it with rockplayer hardware decoding and it is smooth :D i used mp4 format

I upgraded to 2.3.4 2 days and via update.zip and have performed the master reset numerous times along with re-installing via the PC10IMG.zip file still car mode keep activating by itself. I think the USB port is worn and causing this issue. If I wiggle the pins around I can 99% of the time make the phone go into Car Mode. I guess I need to wait for a way to root 2.3.4 and then disable the Car Mode package I saw listed here

Pershoot's is the only one I'd really trust - when he breaks things, he admits it and is very good at trying to address issues.

Quadrant scores are meaningless. Forget about them, they're only good for epeen and are WAY too easily gamed. Look at the Stagefright hacks - people got first-gen GS phones to push into the mid 3000s, but at the cost of utterly crippling media playback format compatibility.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanleyguan:
Hi guys,

I have a Nexus One purchased from Google last year. I only started using 3G this month with Vodafone Australia. My battery drains ridiculously fast on 3G compared to 2G. On HSDPA("3.5G") network with everything off (including data) it uses 5-10% per hour standby. On 2G it drains less than 1% per hour. Using a battery monitor app I can see that 2G draws less than 10mA while 3G draws 25-100mA.

Since on 2G battery life is very good this should not be a problem with any software running in the background. I also tried the following with no help:

- Dial *#*#4636#*#*, set to WCDMA only instead of WCDMA preferred, and select radio bands to AUS BANDS

- Upgrade radio to the latest Korean version

- Force the phone to use UMTS instead of HSDPA network by editing build.prop

I tried both the stock 2.3.4 ROM and the latest CM nightly, but the problem persists. I really want to take the full advantage of 3G and leave it on all the time so this is very frustrating to me. I can use Toggle2G to automatically switch to 3G when screen is on, but that's not what I really want. I know although 3G uses more battery it should not be that dramatic. After all the specified standby time on 3G/2G are 250/290h by Google. With 3G my phone won't last even a day purely on standby.

I also wonder if it can be a problem with the network. My signal strength on 3G is around 2 bars - not particularly bad. It almost never loses signal. If anyone can post a ROM/radio from Vodafone Australia for me to try out that would be greatly appreciated too.

Thanks all!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephyr18:
2 Bars of Signal strength might be one of the reason that battery is drained faster. As the signal is not that strong enough, it keeps searching for stronger signal and results in faster battery consumption.

Personally the radio version '5.12' wasn't satisfactory. I prefer 5.08 version. (Signal strength, speed, battery...)

I recently upgraded from CM 7.0.3 to 7.1.0 RC1 and noticed battery life is much better.

So I am going to suggest a few things you might want to try:

- Downgrade the radio to 5.08

- Full wipe and flash CM 7.1.0 RC1 (or a different custom ROM)

- Try a different kernel (I personally like Cyanogen kernel though)

- Uninstall Task Killer if you have one installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanleyguan:
Hi zephyr, I previously had CM 7.1.0 RC1 with radio 5.08 and the Cyanogen kernel but the problem remained. I also tried to put my phone near the window, where it has 4 bars signal, but the battery drained just as fast. Thanks for your suggestions though.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
So I just stumbled across this thread. I've been having the same issue on my Desire, it started suddenly a couple of weeks ago. In 3G mode my phone drains about 120mA. In 2g it drops down to 4-8. I've eliminated all the usual suspects by doing a factory reset (using the CM7.1.0RC but have also tried the latest nightly build), so no apps running in the background, and tried different versions of the radio. I am also with Vodafone in Australia. One thing that I have found is that if I go into Phone Info I can force the phone to make an EDGE connection by choosing the "AUS2" frequency band, and with an EDGE connection I get the good battery usage. But if I choose "AUS" or "AUTO", the phone makes an HSDPA connection and this drains the hell out of my battery.

Just wondering if the OP has had any joy with this?

This just started happening on my 100% stock unlocked N1 about 2 weeks ago. (ATT)

Most of the time at work I'm on WiFi, yes the signal (cell) is very bad in my office. Has been for a long time, something else is strange.

No extra tasks running, nothing new installed.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
What sort of area do you operate your phone in? My phone used to drain like mad inside my house (perth- vodafone) and in areas with spotty coverage. In my house my reception would be on the very edge of 3g with no bars and EDGE, constantly switching between the two. Do you have your wifi policy set to on while sleeping? Provided you aren't out and about all day, that would help, though i assume if you've had the phone that long, youd have changed the wifi sleep policy by now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwkpete:
My wifi is always on - never has changed.

It gets hot at home where there is good reception and at work where there is crap.

I've had the phone for over 1.5 years and this just cropped up.

I rooted my wifes N1 and she doesn't have any issues...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sladflob:
I'm also in Perth, on Vodafone. I get a pretty decent signal strength at home, and it seems to be happening to me wherever I go, unless I'm "lucky" enough to get an EDGE connection. This started overnight, almost exactly two weeks ago. I've been speaking with Vodafone about this at length but not really getting anywhere. Yesterday they swapped my SIM but it didn't make any difference.

Yep, wifi is set to never sleep.

I bought a prepaid SIM card from another provider a few days ago. I only get a UMTS connection with them, but still the current drain when idle is what is considered "normal", 4-6mA.

One thought I've had is that maybe I never had an HSDPA connection before but recent network upgrades have meant that I'm suddenly getting one. Still, 125mA is way too big a drain and seems to indicate something wrong with the phone.

The last test I can think to do is to swap SIM cards with a friend who is on a third network, who gets an HSDPA connection. He has a Nexus One and gets very low current drain. At least that way I can be sure of whether it is or isn't the network. We're doing that tomorrow so stay tuned :-)
