[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smith2001:
As the topic suggests. Why is dice player the only player we can use on the tab to watch mkv files natively straight from download?

Have they just got access to a certain code within Android that the people of moboplayer or the many others don't know about?

Just trying to understand why dice player is the only one on what I thought was a open source system.

Many thanks

Dan
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smith2001:
I bit the bullet and bought it. Crashes a few times but just assume it's due to a bad mkv file. Still don't get why diceplayer is the only one who play stock mkv files from download.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
I'm a developer of diceplayer.

We have very good relation with many vendors and carriers.

we can access to some devices before their release and get some help from vendors.

but I can not say anymore, because we have a lot of NDAs..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharky444:
I've bought Dice player, but have just learned that BSPlayer lite (free) has now also HW acceleration. I've tried it and see no differences to Dice player. Made a quick test with 4 MKV files, a southpark and a simpsons episode (played fine on both) and the Another Earth movie and a Harry Potter trailer (about 3-5 second out of sync on both Dice and BS, plays fine with any Windows player).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delboy98:
Although I love Dice Player and it plays all my HD files, I couldn't watch my films when I was recently in a spot with no internet connection - because it needs to go online to verify the license :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smith2001:
I also noticed that it failed to work if I didn't have my phone tethered. Seriously tho can I not use the program if I don't let my tablet go online?

Because thats outrageous seen as tho I've paid for it!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
Sorry for inconvenience.

That problems comes from google license server.

we'll improve license check method.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vlad_z:
It works without internet connection, just long timeout during attempt to check license or something...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loccy:
I'm not sure if something else has changed in my setup, but the last release doesn't seem to be working as smoothly as before with the combination of Twonky Media Server, and Bubble UPnP. Xvid files often stutter and break up, and as far as I can determine nothing has changed in the other components - only an update to Dice.

Has anything changed in the latest release that might potentially cause this behaviour?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gix:
But can you tell us when multichannel AAC streams will be properly demuxed?

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

That depends on the movie. I've tried also BSplayer and Diceplayer and there is no doubt that Diceplayer's performance is way ahead on several files.

It is almost as good as the original video player from the non-touchwiz firmware :)

Sometimes I'm thinking that a Samsung developer was hired by Inisoft and he intentionaly ommited HW acceleration for 720p from the included video player of Touchwiz firmware in order to boost sales of Diceplayer...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharky444:
I didn't know there was a better standard player. Is it possible to copy it from Xoom to the Galaxy tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
Wait I thought the Mobo player could play MKV movies and files as well but its free?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomas3G:
I am using it and face no problems whatsoever.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
we fixed multi-channel aac problems( ver 1.7.1 )

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

Mobo can't use HW video decoder & renderer.

SW decoder drains your battery too quickly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gix:
What problems did you fix? The latest version is 1.7.2 and still the channels are not correctly downmixed.

Usually the 6 channels are combined in the file like this (channel positions): Front = L C R, Side = SL SR LFE.

What Diceplayer is doing is sending the L + C + R channels on the right speaker and SL + SR + LFE on the left speaker. Which is completely wrong, all the main sound of the movie is heard from the right speaker and very often the sound is distorted.

A correct downmixing is (see http://www.ac3filter.net/wiki/AC3Filter:Mixer_page):

L’ = 1 * L + 0.7071 * C + 1 * SL + 1 * LFE

R’ = 1 * R + 0.7071 * C + 1 * SR + 1 * LFE

Or there are other options like Dolby Pro Logic:

Lt = L + -3dB*C + -3dB*(-Ls -Rs)

Rt = R + -3dB*C + -3dB*(Ls + Rs)

But I think you know about it, because 6 channel AC3 is correctly downmixed.

Also, a good option whould be to have a "swap L/R speakers" command in the menu. It is useful when watching movies with the tablet upside-down.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
So the diceplayer can play MKV, XVID AVI etc much better faster than the Mobo? Or does it play it the same, but just use less battery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
I downloaded the trial version. I Also tried to play a MKV file for NBC's show Grimm. It was very choppy. Am I missing something here? Is their a setting I need to change on the Tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGreatSega:

i cant install the latest update for my galaxy tab.. sorry.. im kind of a noob... hehe
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gix:
Oh, no! The latest update UEKMM for the US tablet, with Honeycomb 3.2, broke the fluidity of Diceplayer with some 720p movies. I hope the developers will fix that soon!

So with Sprints current network and their future network vision, what are your opinions and thoughts as far as carrier reliability and/or will you be leaving for better signal?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lojak29:
Sprint is not getting much better ... For a major carrier they are the slowest.. Even metro is faster and thats sad to say.. I think they cap the data cause they offer unlimited and call it 3g ..but its really 2g/edge on unlimited so of course they can afford to give 2g unlimited...

Ill be leaving after a yr or so... Im gonna wait and see how there 4g pans out in 2012
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
It sucks, I spend more time roaming on verizon than I do on Sprint's network.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] beserker15:
Honestly it depends on the location when it comes to reliability...As for speed, any cdma carrier right now is about the same in terms of 3G speeds. I do not feel that Sprint caps their 3G data at all. In Seattle I get anywhere from 500k-1.2mb, which is about the same as any of my Verizon friends on 3G. Only reason T-mobile and AT&T are ahead is because they invested in HSDPA+ which is like 3.5G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
I have a super cheap plan so I will ride it out. As long as I can stream my prog rock audio podcasts I am happy. Los Angeles radio is truly crappy.

And to appease the police, my E4GT is awesome. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
Coming from Tmobile, the sprint network sucks! I just signed my contract 2 or 3 weeks ago and while I have yet to have any call quality issues, my data is horrible here in Orlando,Fl the 4G is beyond spotty and the 3G is laughable. that being said with the price that I pay for my monthly I can't complain...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordFan21:
It's pretty much impossible to just make a generalization about a carriers data speeds. You should just look up coverage and speeds between the carriers in your area and areas that you might frequent since those are really the only numbers that matter.

I get 1.25mbps down on 3g and around 7.5 mbps down on 4g in chicago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Exactly.

This is not an opinion topic.

Its all dependent on your area.

I know that companies like Verizon have convinced you via commercials that they're 373748484mbit/s everywhere but that's just not the case.

Find the network that best suits your area and your needs and go to them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
On long island it sucks beyond belief lately. Things seem to have gone down hill for me. I am always roaming when at some locations at work or if I'm visiting a location I usually have unusable 3g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] r12037:
I also just switched from t-mobile, I use to get 5mb on tmobile 3g, now i get around 1mb average on sprint. 4g on the other hand I'd a different story, the fastest i ever got was 11.40mb and an average of about 8mb in San Diego county. I hope they improve their 3g coverage or roll out more 4g to more locations.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jay A whY:
I have cell phone service with AT&T (iPhone 4S), Verizon (Soon to be Galaxy Nexus) and now Sprint, again (Epic 4G Touch)... All unlimited data plans. I'm data HUNGRY!

After my departure from Sprint in 2008, I wanted to give Sprint another go around. I am very surprised that the customer service is still horrible! The 4G network is very inconsistent, too many disconnects. 3G is very slow, pulling 800k max on a strong signal. Over all, looks like this 2 day Epic 4G Touch is going back and good by Sprint for the second time!

[HTC Sensation] Nxslvr24:
I recently just noticed a 14.99 charge on my T-mobile bill and I don't think I should be paying for a feature I've been using for free for years. Is there any app or rom (since I'm S-OFF and rooted) that I can use on my Sensation 4G instead?
[HTC Sensation] secano:
It IS free (at least on this phone). Call them and ask for a refund, since you never ordered that service. Now if they ask, just tell them you don't even know what that "Hotspot" is...

WiFi Hotspot that comes preinstalled on stock ROM or ARHD should work fine. No need for any other app.
[HTC Sensation] Mastacheata:
In Germany the "Deutsche Telekom" mother company of T-Mobile is also marketing WiFi Hotspots in public locations under the T-Mobile brand.

Just to give another idea of what that point on your bill might refer to as the other user thinks it should be free.

However if they are really refering to the use of the Hotspot app, that will not change with using a different app for that purpose, they just bill any traffic not originating from your cellphone seperately (maybe as an additional flat fee).

At least that's what some providers in germany say in their terms about using their phone SIM for any other purpose but a mobile phone.
[HTC Sensation] VecZed:
Also- I have been using the hotspot feature for free since June '11... Don't know if avoiding this charge is a function of my refusal to set up the 'T-Mo sync" sw that they constantly request of me. Otherwise I am up to date w all other requested android updates on my Sensation 4G. Now I finally want to sync device as they have informed me that I cannot play my first android market purchased mp3 w/o sync set-up. Q? Is my free ride a function of my non-set-up of sync? PS- I think device is rooted as they complied w my request for some such so as to be able to use device w other carriers when out of country. Afterward I paid the 200$ to go 'value plan', own phone, off contract. Thanx in advance, VecZed
[HTC Incredible S] Demon_man:
Hi folks, you have no Q&A section so I'll post in here,

missus has Incredible S wont let me root it, but she wants to use the pattern lock screen but when she does the sense lock screen sits on top anyway of stopping it or removing it without root???? as i said she wont let me root or flash custom rom so pretty much up a river with no paddles as far as i can think, any help much appreciated.

she tried magic locker, no lock ect she just a pain and wants to use the pattern lock with the dots lol
[HTC Incredible S] Demon_man:
I'll take that as a no then lol:p
[HTC Incredible S] zanef7:
Widget locker? Give that a try
[HTC Incredible S] KAwAtA:
I'm confused, it's just the sense lockscreen on top. Even all the other roms/versions will have aosp lockscreen on top before you get to the pattern OR sense lockscreen on top. Using widgetlocker would produce the same result. You have to go through unlocking it before getting to the pattern. so I'm a bit confused as to what you want exactly, and just out of curiousity.. how would you go about doing this if you rooted her phone?
[HTC Incredible S] thefrenge:
Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but Go launcher has an add on called GO Locker with some different customizations.

I've seen a lot of posts regarding mms being broken after rooting. Has anyone gotten it to work? I am with Cellcom Green Bay, WI.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ligor:
I'm actually with Cellcom in Green Bay as well! I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.1. If you have any questions about what works and what doesn't, feel free to ask me! I've actually tried quite a few ROMs on the Desire.

And just to be clear, rooting worked fine. I'm able to text and take calls. However, with the ROM I'm running, I had to download a different text messaging app, because the default app doesn't split messages longer than 160 characters, so the messages wouldn't send when they were really long. Easy fix though. No worries.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhewitt72:
Ligor,

Great to hear that you have things working on your desire. Rooting worked fine and I can make/receive calls fine. Data and internet work fine along with sending and receiving regular text messages. MMS picture messages don't work. I get failure messages back when sending or receiving MMS.

Can you send and receive MMS?

Thanks,

Mike
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ligor:
I'm testing it now. It appeared to send correctly. I'll let you know if the person I sent it to responds.

EDIT: MMS is not working for me right now. I'm looking into some fixes for it. It appears you would need to install a new mms.apk for the appropriate version of the ROM you're running and change some APN settings.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhewitt72:
Ok. I am still on the Cellcom stock ROM. I can see the APN settings and they still appear to be Cellcom. Don't know what may have changed though. I'll keep looking and post if I figure something out. Please let me know if you figure it out.

Thanks!

im also on a cdma desire, but with us cellular. i have similar issues with mms, sometimes they will send, most of the time not. running cm7.1 too. i was using some other sense rom from 2fastroms that i had to mess with the apn settings to get it to actually send any kind of message, but never could get mms to work.
