[Thrive General] blorenzo:
I watch alot of videos on my Thrive and can say I encountered this once when I first got it when watching YouTube videos while mirroring on an led tv. However then I updated my Thrive and it went away and I never saw the problem again. So perhaps check is your updated or restart your Thrive?

I watch my videos from the SD card and am using a class 10 so perhaps if your watching movies from a lower class SD card you should transfer them to the onboard storage? I also stream anime from animehere.com and do not have any problems there either.

Edit:

I'm an idiot, I didnt see that you think you have all the updates, this is baffeling.
[Thrive General] klbjr:
Yeah I also get that. The movie plays fine & the audio is in sync just when the camera starts to pan it seems like the screen is jerking or stuttering ever so slightly. I've tried AVS, Handbreak, DVD Catalyst & Xilisoft. Multiple times with multiple movies & profiles. Seems like this Tegra 2 might have been a bad choice for processors. The same 720p movies play just fine on my Evo 3D. Hopefully Nvidia comes out with a update that fixes this as I have read that all of the tablets with the Tegra in it suffer from the same problem. A huge FAIL on Nvidia's part IMO. Whats the sense of having a tablet with a 720p screen but you can't watch movies smoothly.
[Thrive General] Peahnuts:
Yo, I'm not sure whether 720p works completely fine though but for any other res under that either VPlayer or Mobo seem to be able to play them relatively well.
[Thrive General] CrisisDog:
Over the last month I've experimented with the Thrive and an Asus Transformer. Both have had the same jerky playback issues with my encoded videos, with the built in Honeycomb player. A resolution I've found for playing back my MP4 files is Dice Player, it seems to have gotten rid of the stuttering issue on both devices. YouTube is still a mixed bag, most low quality videos play fine, but the HD stuff will still have issues from time to time. I read somewhere that Dice Player has it's own system / codec files that bypass the built in files provided by Nvidia for the default Honeycomb player, I'm guessing that may be the issue...
[Thrive General] Peahnuts:
Have you tried without the Video Enhancement thing? Seems that turning it off helps quite a bit.

ok so im new to rooting but everyone was at one time and im reading reading reading and reading some more, ive found several one click root solutions with good backups but the same problem persist and im not sure what to do...i get to the point of running a one click and it says that rageagainstthecage-arm.5 isnt being loaded or whatnot so im trying to convert the file and other stuff but to no avail.. plllllllllllllleeeease help
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Do you have an antivirus program running on your PC? I think that restricts rageagainstthecage.
[Epic 4G General] ugothakd:
Yup. If all else fails...you can odin clockwork mod and find the superuser zip.
[Epic 4G General] damicrobe:
I suggest you freeze your antivirus for an hour , redownload one click cwm and try again. Once your antivirus finds the file it deletes it so if you try to root you won't find the file.

I think he's talking about short code SMS messages, maybe? The ones where you send a text to a less than seven digit number to say, vote on a radio station poll or update your Facebook status and so on.

If that's what you mean, no that's not bad. It's part of any cell phone. If you mean something else, then I have no clue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m20120:
If you can access the bootloader then you are not bricked. If you can get into recovery then the first thing that you should try is to wipe the Cache and Dalvik Cache. If that does not work then something in your data partition may be messed up. The next step would be to wipe Data. You will lose all of you system settings and data by doing this and you will have to reconfigure your accounts and install all of your apps again. If you have a backup (using MyBackup or Titanium) you can restore that just be sure not to restore any system settings that were from a different ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odie145:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] P.Bue:
I use a program that requires the screen lock on my SGS 2 is set with at least 8 characters. It is very complicated to have to enter the code each time the display has been turned off.

Before I have an SGS 1 where I used app "SGS Info" where I have checked "Set Power Button". So was the screen lock never active and I did not have to typing the long code.

But now I've got a SGS 2 and the "Set Power Button action" is not working.

I have tried other programs (Widgetlocker, No lock, anti-lock) to disable screen lock, but they do not work. It still keeps asking for the 8 character password.

Who can help me to remove the screenlock on my SGS 2 ??
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Corwin9S:
well... just remove the password use ! Parameters >> localisation and security >> define lockscreen >> none (instead of password)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] P.Bue:
My screen lock is disabled by the administrator and if I use "Select Device Administrators" and uncheck the administrator, then delete the program itself.

So it is unfortunately not an option

Install app "SGS Secret Code"

Start the app and select "Power Button Settings"

Mark "Shutdown"

That's all.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JungleJiujitsu:
I've tried this one and darky's but out of all of them I prefer Juwe11's, plus all you have to do is extract the script, copy it to your phone and then use Root Explorer to copy it to /system/etc/init.d(which most likely has not been created on your phone yet, so you just add a folder and name it init.d in the /system/etc/ folder)and thats it, just reboot and enjoy a much faster phone. Doesn't hurt to try it out, if anything you could delete the entire init.d folder if you don't like it or want it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
They make no difference - they are placebo and defeat the purpose of Android's built-in memory optimization since Froyo. And on a device like this with 1GB RAM you don't need it - you always have plenty of memory available.

With a device that had 384k memory this was slightly helpful - but no longer needed.

I tried it, but the defaults for the internal memory manager seemed close. No difference on our phone that I could see.

I know when I first got the D3 both k9 and regular mail (not gmail - that still behaves as expected) offered launch icons from contacts, including blur contact widget.

Since rooting & debloating I no longer get the option.

Yesterday I rsd flashed -55 firmware, and now I'm bone-stock (except @ build 55 instead of 20 since we can't flash backards), but I stilll don't get k9 as an option.

Any clues how I can restore K9 mail as an app launch option in contacts?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Not to mention the obvious but you have K9 installed right?
[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
Yes. Installed, reinstalled, etc.

I figured out what it was. Gmail was selected as the default mail app, so that's what comes up. I cleared that setting, now I get a choice of all mail apps when I click on the mail launch icon. Not ideal, but better than before.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] LavaChild0809:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S. The details on 'About' menu of the phone are:

Model Number:

GT-I9000

Firmware version:

2.1-update1

Baseband version:

I9000XXJF3

Kernel version:

2.6.29

root@SE-S602 #2

Build number:

ECLAIR

I use the phone on T-Mobile. I have no idea if it is locked, etc, but was purchased there from new (well a reseller website, not sure where it physically came from).

I have never updated this phone. This is as the phone was purchased one year ago. I have not installed any new ROMs, official or custom. I am the only owner and therefore no it has never been updated without my knowledge.

I am aware a new version of Android is out and have installed the Kies software, wishing to do this the 'official' route.

I get the following error message in Kies:

The current version is not an official release.

Firmware upgrade service for unofficial versions is not supported.

Current firmware version: PDA:JF4 / PHONE:JF3 / CSC:JE6 (TMU)

Any help at all? I really want to get this updated, especially after the hassle of install the terrible Kies software! I would prefer to do this the 'official' route without installing custom ROMs etc.

Has anybody seen such a message before? Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlo.edmon:
If your using a T-Mobile version, use Samsung Kies Mini. Search for it in google.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LavaChild0809:
Thank you very much for the reply.

I am on T-Mobile UK and got the phone from them. I assume this means I am using a T-Mobile UK version. Can Samsung Kies Mini upgrade T-Mobile UK? If so, can you please provide a link? When searching via Google all I can find is Kies Mini for Mac. There are some old versions that come up, too, but these seem to be for specific phones.

If you could give any further advice on how to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 on T-Mobile UK that'd be great :).

Thanks.

PS - Is this part of my original post:

Kernel version:

2.6.29

root@SE-S602 #2

relevant at all? Should it say 'root'? I have never 'rooted' the phone. Could this be why Kies is unhappy with my firmware version? Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlo.edmon:
Try this one:

"ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=341559"

It's for US but just give it a try. After installing the software, let it update to the latest version then connect your phone. My sister's phone came from US and I used this to update hers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] LavaChild0809:
Thanks for the link, I had found that before but ignored it because it does not mention i9000.

I'll give it a while incase any other ideas come in, otherwise I'll give it a go. The fact it's for the US (and you used it to update a US phone) does not give me confidence it'll work for a UK phone. I'll try it as a last resort, but I'd like to see if there are any other options for the moment.

I've given T-Mobile UK a call who were useless -If you cannot update because of Samsung Kies then you'll have to contact Samsung, not us. I contact them and they basically say 'take it into a Samsung authorised repairer'. I call my nearest one and it sounds far from a professional outfit - 'Just drop it off'. I'd hoped they could update it on the spot but I was told I'd have to leave it with them... I cannot afford to be without my phone, though.

It looks like I might have to stick to the current version I've got, I cannot get Kies to give any message other than the one in the original post... And none of the 'official' support lines are bothered. No wonder people don't bother with the 'official' releases... Though I'd like to in order to keep my warranty intact.

Thanks.

I'm basically left without any help from them. I'd rather not go down the Do-It-Yourself route, mainly because I do not understand all of the steps that need doing. Each guide is *slightly* different... And I've no idea which (specific) files I should download and from where... And kernel? And ROM? And.. Urgg. I also see Phone/PDA/CSC... It's a minefield for somebody that does not know enough and wanted an easy update.

I am starting to consider doing it myself but really need to find one definitive guide that I should follow.

Thanks.

Hey guys, my girlfriend recently purchased an LG Thrill, beast of a phone, and I've been meaning to do some app testing with it but I can't seem to get USB Debugging to work. If I connect the phone to my computer with debugging off it will give me to option to mount storage as intended, but as soon as I enable USB Debugging the computer will no longer recognize the device.

I forget how I talked my girl into letting me root her Evo. I think it was for Apps2SD and to open up more space for apps, obviously, that is no longer an issue. Unfortunately, she won't give up Sense. I had her try out cyanogen for a day and she made me flash her back to FreshROM.

It's funny though, I really couldn't find a true NEED to root this phone. It's pretty damn good stock. But that lasted about 10 minutes after root was achieved. Hate that bloatware!

Sammy allowed you to uninstall the bloatware without rooting, I have already removed the sprint crap from my device.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bandage:
Some...but not ALL of it. The rest needs root to be removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Some apps are so useful, they are almost necessary.

Roam Control - allows you to roam in an area with weak sprint signal - so weak that it's either constantly switching between 3g and 1x (huge battery drain), or even weaker, when it switches between sprint and a roaming carrier (dropped phone calls plus battery drain.)

By forcing a Roam Only mode, with a push of a button, you start roaming, usually with a strong signal from the other carrier and there's neither battery drain nor dropped calls.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
No, Sammy allowed us to remove about 15% of the crapware. With root, I can remove the other 85%.
