See, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 states 1080p video playback

I wonder is there any meaning the video playback ability of GT10.1

has overpower to Xoom?

BTW I personally hate converting.

My ideal Tab is a replacement for netbook,

which with proper software and codec

almost nothing it won't play.

So if there's something tablet is incapable of

please let me know.

Thanks for all your replies, they really make a difference.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
All the tegra 2 tablets are similar software wise.

The 10.1 won't play videos any better than the xoom. Return your android tablet if you expect it to replace windows.
[Xoom General] bluenote73:
I've surveyed many of the players on the Android market yesterday,

and most won't play a 720p x264 Mkv with ac3.

Best is qqplayer. Next best is vplayer, but really it can't either,

So only qqplayer. If anyone knows better, please speak up.

Otherwise, use plex it is the best transcoding streaming player around..

Galaxy Tab 10.1 can play 1080 video formats?

Sent from my GT-I9000B
[Xoom General] russellgarrett:
Using Moboplayer (from market) with Tiamat 2.2, 1080p video will just about play, but its not ideal.

720p is fine.
[Xoom General] Isun:
I only play file resolutions up to 720p on the Xoom because of the native resolution. I use Mobo player for my .avi and DVD Catalyst converted .mp4 files but if I am in a rush and have a high bit rate 720p .mkv file, the Dice player plays everything I throw at it. I have monitored my usage of both and I really mainly use Mobo. Dice comes in handy when I just don't want to wait for a conversion because I am heading out on short notice and is the only player I have found to play high bit rate 720p .mkv x.264 files. I prefer converting because I can give the video files a color boost in DVD Catalyst since videos seem to lose their punch on the Xoom screen.
[Xoom General] renocivik:
Dice player plays 720p no prob
[Xoom General] jondwillis:
I've had good results with BSPlayer.
[Xoom General] rohit3192:
One thing is beyond my understanding.

My past Samsung infuse with 1.2ghz single core processor was able to play 1080p itunes trailers but xoom tablet struggles.

Also Xoom has native support for .mp4 files and .mov/.mkv/.avi requires extra treatment whether extra player or software decoding.

.........................

on a general note (covers most mobiles and tablets and/or android os)

why companies release crippled products to market?

The end user is left to work out what is working and what is not.

Xoom is upper range product and it is not acceptable that it can't play 1080p files smoothly.
[Xoom General] Isun:
The Xoom does play 1080p but how well depends on the codec and player. As for why you would want to play 1080p videos on a 720p screen, I just can't comprehend. It will not look better because the screen resolution is lower than 1080p. If you played 1080p on any screen lower than 1920x1080 pixels you will not be getting the benefit of the 1080p resolution.
[Xoom General] andpantanal:
And the Downscaling? Don't have it?
[Xoom General] Isun:
If you must keep the resolution at 1080p then the best thing for stutter free playback is at least convert into an .mp4 which DVD Catalyst does but again, there will not be noticeable quality increase over a 720p. If I had a 1080p .mkv that I wanted to play on the Xoom, that would be one of the times when I would prefer convert or downsize but for everything else including 720p .mkv, we no longer need to convert.
[Xoom General] bluenote73:
From my perspective you are badly missing the point - what use is a tablet that can play videos if you have to carry around a pc to convert them first. Its a pain in the butt.
[Xoom General] burden010:
I use Dice Player to play all my video. It is easily the best HD movie player out there and plays high profile 720p but I haven't tried 1080p. As I don't have a 1080p TV, there's no need. Check out the Dice Player trial.
[Xoom General] Isun:
Thats just the thing though, we need to be realistic. You don't have to convert any videos other than high bit rate 1080p which even if you were only using a desktop PC you would need to meet a system requirement to play. Tablets like these are new. Could you imagine a few years ago having a 1Ghz laptop with 1GB of RAM and being pissed it wont play my 1080p movie in 3D? The Xoom is one of the first of it's kind and was never designed to play high bit rate 1080p and you find that a bother. It's like buying an Ipod 8 yrs ago then saying what good is this if all my CD's wont play on it. You had to rip & convert everything or buy the file which was still then converted. The screen is 720p. Most shows on T.V. are 720p or upscaled 720p (1080i). Where are you getting 1080p videos from, Blu Ray and digital copies which all need to be 'converted' in order to become a portable file on any system unless you have a disc player or made a 20GB image rip. Its not a pain in the butt to have to only convert one file type. My laptop is very powerful but cant play movies in 3D yet my T.V. can, should I be upset? I should add, Dice player is still the way to go to play all files with no conversion unless you want to play high bit rate 1080p on a screen not designed for it.

i have x10a that is not unlocked(i.e still locked to AT&T).

can i use the bootloader unlock tool or should i wait.

thanks

edit: i unlocked bootloader using qsd8250_semc and it worked fine.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyleth:
I have a similar question.

I've unlocked my x10 through imei unlock. Any problems to use the bootloader unlock?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaha111:
i think you should wait.

as stated you must be unlocked using setool to use the bootloader unlock
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyleth:
that's what i was thinking, if in a couple of days nobody tries to unlock bootloader having the sim unlocked with imei method (the only one available a year ago) i will ask the devs.

thank you
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharadwaj1991:
Actually, no need to be unlocked your sim can still be locked. What will happen is if you unlock the bootloader using the_laser method...you won't be able to unlock sim in the future as of now. If your sim is still locked and you don't care about unlocking sim...go ahead and unlock bootloader if you want.

If you unlocked your phone using third party to get imei number and what not...then you most likely cannot/should not try and unlock bootloader, atleast not until someone releases a fix that allows you to do so without losing radio signal.

the_laser actually posted a file that allows you to see if your eligible for bootloader unlock.

EDIT: didn't see your edit...haha oh well will leave this here for someone else.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyleth:

Ok, yes please post reply, I would like to know. I also read it shouldn't wipe anything... still ain't safe in unlocking it lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyleth:
i've tried with the tool to know the lock certificate and as i unlocked the phone with code, not with other tools i can unlock the bootloader. If you have unlocked your phone through imei code, at least for me, you can unlock the bootloader
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhill13:
I can confirm it works via the method in the OP of this thread for x10a on AT&T. Just follow the directions EXACTLY. Worked first try for me :D

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
No it will not wipe anything as long as you do it properly.

Same here. I got it unlocked but had to go back to 2.1, for some reason it wouldn't move forward with the batch file after I did the BB downgrade. I still got it to work though as long as you have a general idea of the steps and what to expect next.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william0410:
so i have the x10 and can already install custom roms, what exactly would motivate me to unlock the bootloader other than having the possibility to turn my phone into a $600 paperweight?

is there any reason to unlock the bootloader at this point in time, and would it be possible to install webos or other operating systems?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahkam:
At this time no! I wonder if its real still lol but i prefer waiting for a developer to confirm it and i'd wait for the roms/kernels get released before doing anything since it's still early.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consegregate:
BLN is button light notification. It uses your button lights as would LED of other phones work, which is to blink when you have message or missed call.

B82 doesn't support that nor does it support swap.

I had no problem using my class4 with swap partition, encountered no noticeable lag.

Had to remove it though before flashing KPO.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
One thing to note: lower class SD card is probably going to perform better because the random access on lower class SD cards is better than Class 10. Class 10 is generally better throughput at the expense of random access. Since you should rarely be swapping, it's usually a waste of time. Better off using a RAM tweak such as Supercharger.

I'm using official CM 7.2 and also have the problem of low memory (damn; my older HTC Wildfire (v1) never had this issue; this older/slower budgetphone has much more memory on board)

I made a swappartition; it cannot be mounted as swappartition... by neither swapper2 or swapper.

Since i'm using S2E i actually wanted to use the internal memory of my phone for the swapfile (or tried that one too, cuz it's not being used when loading apps...) but i couldn't save my .SWP file over there. Also on my fat partition (1st partition on the sd card) i wasn't able to get my swapfile working... (it was being created, but that's all....)

When i was using the nightlies of CM 7 i was hoping this was an issue they would resolve when the final was released; as CM7 on my wildfire has no problem at all to use swapfiles...

Anyone info on how to get swapfiles when using CM7 (official)?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
---[ UPDATE ]----

if anyone is using this version i will highly recommend that they update to:

Boot Manager for X10

it has many more features than the ones posted here...

---[ UPDATE ]----

so here is the prerooted stock kernel for unlocked bootloaders...

use [Dev] Bypass "bootloader" [PROPER METHOD] to unlock bootloader...

thanks to the_laser to openly release this unlock...

DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS AS TO HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, FOR THAT INFO REFER TO the_laser's thread...

The reason i have created this is till we can do some advanced work using the unlock bootloader users should atleast be able to use the older (bootloader bypass method) kernel loading... with this kernel as base u can mount other kernels using our usual ways :) [that is flashing kernel packages via recovery and using older chargemons for custom kernel loading]

[ features ]

this is stock 2.3.3 kernel (2.6.29-00054-g5f01537)

additional stuff added: (to ramdisk)

autoroot feature (very simple rooting)

advanced init.d scripts execution support (fixed in v3)

busybox already installed in /sbin

xRecovery-0.3-GBready [thanks to zdzihu] directly integrated in kernel (ramdisk) [no need to worry abt trashed flashes]

xRecovery in ramdisk is given preference over chargemon (so pressing BACK key repeatedly, when u see new logo, w will take u to the recovery in main kernel)

i have also added a fix which will allow the old "reboot into recovery" option in flashtool to now work

to distinguish between which recovery is actually getting called i have changed the background image of xrecovery (check changelog of v2 for details)

corrected Superuser file replacement (if Superuser.apk is already present when the kernel is flashed the first time it will not be replaced) [thanks to Androxyde for pointing that out]

[ Requirements ]

bootloader unlocked device

flashtool

latest SE FW 3.0.1.G.0.75 or ROM based on that FW

@DL: One question,

Do we have any difference in the performance in Bootloader bypass and unlocked bootloader? Since we didn't implement anything that's related to unlocked BL yet (example: 16mil colors). isn't this the same like the one we had before?

(Except for the recovery stable thing we get now).

Is there any noticeable speed since we got unlocked BL and different kernel?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
NO

this is stock SE kernel... i have just added a lot of things to ramdisk to make life simpler...

done... check 1st post

may be the kernels flashed directly might be more stable.. and booting time is reduced... other than that a lot of work will have to be done to make anything else happen...

yes thats expected...

that how the older bootloader bypass worked...

if u want to stop booting custom kernel... do the following:

remove /system/bin/chargemon

rename /system/bin/charger to /system/bin/chargemon

then reboot

custom kernel will not boot
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Yes, cause the bootloader bypass is working further on. delete chargemon and the bypass isn't working anymore. But don't know if it has any other (maybe bad) effect if you simply delete the chargemon, but I have done it on mine, too. I'm using miui rom.

I'm getting really bad battery with your 4b kernel for unlocked bootloader, (probably because of no deepsleep)
