[TouchPad General] Solidus_n313:
short answer, a resounding no. which is very unfortunate. the file must be ripped, drm-less and converted to an android friendly format (mp4, mkv, avi)

i recommend Tunebite to do all that, but atm, android is incapable of DRM videos (to the best of my knowledge/experience)

EDIT* there is a way with blu-ray, but its unnecessarily complicated. you need the original blu-ray disc, a wifi blu-ray player, and pocketBLU app for andriod. also, not ALL movies support this, so it will be hit and miss

EDIT** you can try this, but you still have to kill the DRM on the file: http://myhpmini.com/forum/play-digital-copy-movies-android-tab-pavtube-chewtune-t5044.html
[TouchPad General] shlurpee:
wow, the galaxy tab and all those don't play DRM videos either? LOL. Dang. Well, thanks for the response.
[TouchPad General] Solidus_n313:
yeah mostly its malignment towards android, but youd be surprised how many devices DONT support DRM in this day and age which is kinda ridiculous
[TouchPad General] mister timely:
I don't think it's totally ridiculous that devices are not supporting DRM.

Personally, I don't support it either. I feel like if I buy a digital copy of a movie, I should be able to use it however I want...instead of being tethered to a player/internet connection/operating system/device/etc...
[TouchPad General] Solidus_n313:
i agree with you 100%, DRM kills ownership. having said that though, its not going away anytime soon :(

but since its been around for so long on music and movies, you'd think that OS companies/media app devs would embrace this content somehow, espicially since most smartphones have data plans that can sync with DRM servers at any time...

im not a fan of DRM, but lots of people are, and considering how much media peopl consume on their phones/tablets, you'd expect some sign of acceptance/integration

I'm currently on TDJ's MIUI (and have been for a while), and for many builds, some of my SMS conversations have been split into two, one for the messages I send and one for the ones I receive. This only happens with certain contacts (and I've checked to make sure they only have one assigned number), deleting the threads doesn't help, nor does deleting the contact. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
It might be because you're sync with their fb or google + account that has their number and you're sending to either. but their replies are coming from your "phone" profile of them or under your google contacts.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutt:
Yea, Idk what that's about... was happening to me on the last two miui releases. The contacts it was occurring with don't have anything to sync with (ie: no social networking, just regular cell phones)... I'm on cm7 now, though...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon_htc:
Got the same issue ... Hopefully in a later build this will be fixed. This happens worth all my contacts. It's no biggy tho compared to other quirks on certain roms

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx2oo2:
My sons UK i9000 has a problem, the touch keys were not working and the screen was cracked., so a replacement part was bought and new screen fitted.

The phone booted fine, but the new touch keys did not work, so we tried to update the touch key firmware with *#*#2663#*#* but then the phone refused to boot.

We tried to reflash to a stock rom, which went all ok with odin, but the phone never got past the galaxy s screen.

We have tried loads of different stock and custom roms, including darky's ressurection, but they all either boot to the galaxy s screen and go no further, or boot to the galaxy s screen then reboot after a short while.

Is there anything we can do, we can still access recovery and download mode.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigeaky:
did you flash the official rom using the ".pit" file? i can only suggest this and this

hope it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx2oo2:
Many thanks for the links, tried the gingerbread rom you linked to, phone boots to galaxy s screen, stays there for a while, then constant reboots again.

Flash stock JVT firmware (check repartition) use 512 pit, flash Semaphore kernel. Go into CWM recovery, do a factory wipe. It should be good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx2oo2:
Nope, same problem, everything passes ok in odin, but the phone still reboot loops.

Would a faulty touch key cable cause it to do this or maybe something more serious?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheOnlywayOut:
I tried to recover my galaxy s I9000 using odin, i had the 512 pit file and stock rom image 2.2froyo, and now mine doesnt even come on anymore, i could get it to go into download mode when the flash failed by taking the battery out unplugging usb, then plug usb in, hold both volume buttons and insert the battery, that worked for me until odin had succeeded, everything was correct, I did days and days of research about it before I went through with it, but now that it successfully flashed, the phone no longer enters download mode or see's any ounce of life, would the jig still work to force the phone to come on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynx2oo2:

Travel Adapter for Access to Webtop Application

Just wondering if anyone as tried this with the Photon. Looking at the image, it appears it *may* work. But all it says is "Connects compatible Motorola smartphones to HD TVs and monitors for accessing webtop application", but doesn't say what is compatible.

Thanks!

Matt

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Motorola and they have confirmed that this will work with the Photon 4G!!! So for those of you that do not want to Root your Photon or spend $100 to use Webtop, this is an option.

You should consider posting this in the "Accessories" section as well. Don't believe it is listed there as of yet and will be a good resource for someone looking for an alternative to the HD Station.

Does anybody know of an email client that allows you to remove the sender's name, email address and "send to" list? I've tried several and they either don't allow it or remove the email content. I certainly don't mid paying (a reasonable amount) for an app, but I don't want to buy a bunch only to delete them.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonzsoul:
Like the title says, I'm curious to see how many people actually wanted this function. I was a bit disappointed when I heard about the lack of removable memory, but I lust after this phone. I do have a 16GB card that's near capacity. I haven't cleaned it out in a while, so I'll do that first. Hopefully 16GB will be enough for me. But I digress, this isn't a rant about how the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have removable memory. This thread is more about seeing the percentage of people who did want this function.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clearym:
I did want it, just like I wanted it on the NS. But I understand that I don't NEED removable storage and will be buying the GN the first chance I get. And given the choice, I'll probably go with a 16GB version, because I still have about 4GB of free space on my NS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I really wanted an sdcard slot on it. I will have to import the phone as the 32GB versions as there seems to be no current plans to sell that version in Sweden according to Samsung themselves. 32GB is minimum for me. I had hoped to be able to get a 32 GB version and then plug in my 32 GB microsd for even more storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
Wanted it, but mostly because i got a 32GB MicroSD card already :P

All of my storage is wasted on nandroids anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htc6500uk:
The lack of the card slot (which even my Nexus One has) is a real shame - it would only have cost a few pence to include a card slot unless there is something I have missed. The slot would have been preferred to the barometer by the vast majority of people - if we had to choose one or the other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonnyBrad81:
If they were releasing the 32GB in the UK i wouldn't have wanted an SD slot as that would be enough for me. But as we're only getting the 16GB for whatever reason i would want an SD.

As they're not doing either i'll have to stay with my GS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonzsoul:
i know i'm having issues with my card slot and/or SD card on my Fascinate. It'll say my SD card is ejected when it's not. I'm starting to think the omission of a card slot isn't so bad.. less moving parts = less things to break? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Not too bothered about it at all, never take my card out of the current phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm1:
Exactly!

I was a little upset about no SD at first, but then realized that I haven't taken the card out of my N1 since I first got the phone and used it to transfer stuff to the new phone...easy enough to do with a USB and 5 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SomeGuyDude:
Only thing that bums me out is I basically can't get the 16GB because if I run out of space I'm hosed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peachpuff:
Use the cloud... everyones doing it heh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheSonicEmerald:
Besides stuff that needs to be on the phone, almost everything (music, docs, photos) are in the cloud for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
You are totally missing the point of the sdcard slot. :( The biggest advantage is being able to upgrade the amount of storage if you need it. The fact that it costs next to nothing now makes it even better. Also, a less used upside is the ability to read it even if your phone stops turning on at all.

To me, the best solution would be to have lots of internal storage but still have the option of an sdcard for extra storage for movies, lossless audio and other big files if the user wanted. I would be totally fine with it being used entirely for user storage. Any form of cache files that are currently stored on the sdcard probably belongs on the internal memory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Well you got a small screen so movies shouldnt be large in size and phones probably aren't the best devices to playback lossless audio to make a difference audibly.

I'm pro SD card though but really you just slap a large one in there and forget about it. I do use it as a quick medium to transfer custom roms and kernels to my buddies... pictures to my gf... etc. Seemed transfers were faster directly using the SD card vs going through the phone... but with the cloud and wireless transfer methods, its a mute point.

Most stuff can be in the cloud such as pictures and music and even nandroid backups (only need a few locally). I keep games/apps/wallpapers locally but those could even go to the cloud. As long as I can download them when I need them. And you don't need to have a whole movie collection on you at all times. Just a few throwbacks for travels.

My collection spans since my nexus one and its maybe 4-5gb minus music

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pokoedge:
what am I going to do with my class 10 MicroSD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
I did want it. But I guess its cool that they're selling a 32gb version, just hope it's not an outrageous price. But I've never modded a phone without removable storage before. Either way, I'm buying on launch day.ill be importing from the UK since T-Mobile hasn't said a peep about it and I don't feel like waiting another month or two or three ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] streets814:

Ummm my xoom has usb host with honeycomb , I'm guessing its in ics as well?.. just POP that micro sd into a usb adapter when needed if true

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slimslim:
If you don't wanna use an sd card don't use one then. It's good to be there just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkGbe:
Don't care. Pre my Nexus S, i was pro removable storage... Now i prefer no removable storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bzdemes:
Yes I am very disappointed that they left it out! The 16GB card on my HD2 is only about half full but I expect I will load the Nexus up with more stuff! Seeing as it has a beasty CPU and a 720p display with HDMI out it would be nice if it actually had enough space to store some HD video content. Its not a deal breaker for me but still such a silly thing to miss out. Its the kinda of thing I laugh at iPhone users for not having!

Edit: UK so max I can get is the 16GB version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] streets814:
Forgive my ignorance, I thought the GN, didn't have hdmi out? If I am wrong please let me know i am under the assumption there is no video out option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
There will be a HML adapter for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that only lets you transfer data around

but you wont get the advantage of running apps / games off the SD card

unless you don't mind going about your business with a long thing dangling down the phone arse, like a doodle stuck coming out half way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dragonzsoul:
i gotta admit.. the one thing i'm worried most about is storage for nandroids, however like others have said.. one or two nandroids don't take up that much room.

assuming all hell does break loose though, i sure hope that USB hosting will be enabled in recovery.. if not, we're all in trouble.. i love playing on the bleeding edge of tech, and that removable SD card has saved my life before..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
i'm worried.

it feels like google/samsung are making the same mistake as w/ the n1 all over again :(

i'm maxing out the small internal storage and the 16gb sdcard.

i use spotify w/ my favorite music cached. this and images/videos are consuming most of the storage.

w/ the nexus prime having 1080p video recording capabilities it saddens me to have only 32gb as maximum storage.

they really should have given the device 64gb as default, or at least as an option.

i don't need an sd card, in fact i prefer not having to deal w/ the clusterfuck that is app2sd on the n1. but i really, really, want a device that is future proof.

still gonna get the prime though :0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaliceOmega:
the iphone didnt have one since day 1. and they just started using the "iCloud" with the release of iOS5 if im not mistaken, so they just jumped on the bandwagon. Google took it out of the ns and gnex in an attempt to push more people to the cloud. its quite more convient. with 16/32 gb and a cloud your spacial needs are pretty much taken care of.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smot13:
I'm a phone novice. I dont understand the arguments, "I never take out my sdcard," and, "use the cloud."

I rarely take my sdcard out too, but the times I remember taking it out are when it went from 4 to 16 to 32gb. When's it coming out again? When I switch to 64gb. Soon.

How can you rely on the cloud? When I need the data the most, I'm on an airplane, in the mountains, in the desert, or whatever. A few gigs of cloud is great and all but... Go outside more.

I have a fine collection of music. I want to 'shuffle' the whole thing, no matter what corner of the world I end up in. I dont understand how anyone could not want that? Maybe I'm dense.

The only good argument I've heard for not having the sdcard is to enhance phone performance. That's an excellent consideration, but my N1 still works just fine and it's loaded to the gills on internal and removable storage. So... I think we have the technology. Is there something about the nexus 2 and 3 that causes them to handle an sdcard poorly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] streets814:
Lol true I was thinking more on the lines for swapping out movies or songsor even Roms... the stuff that eats up most memory cards

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BJorje:
You know, before I read that, I was really bummed about the SD card thing. I've always had one since my wonderful Motorola e815, and I was scared to give it up. But you're right -- once I put the 32gb card in there I haven't even touched it. I doubt I'd notice the difference at this point.

I just checked and in all, I've got 18gb free out of about 34gb. Not even half full. That's with a chunk of music, several muti-hour podcasts, a book, many nandroids... If I cleaned it up, I'd have even more space. I think I can live with 32gb for the moment.

16gb, on the other hand... That's not enough storage for me to be comfortable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] degeneration:
I WANT a SD card slot, but I don't know if I will need one. I realized I can trim down my on phone music to the stuff I always listen to, and leave the crap I rarely listen to at home and use Google music steaming. Although it does mean I can't go nuts with stuff like I had hoped. I currently have around 43GB usable on the phone and and about 13GB free. I guess that means if I don't use anymore a 32gb will be just right (but full)... but as I said I know I can trim. Sigh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
This is all opinion, but I think it stems down to Google (somewhat ulterior) motives. The Nexus line, despite its popularity with consumers, is designed to be a developer phone (at least the only official developer phone for Android). And Google, being one of the key players in the "cloud" market is probably going with limited storage as a hint to developers to start utilising the cloud as a storage medium (just looking at their direction particularly with the Google Music). Unfortunately, despite Google (and Apple's) recent pushes for cloud, carriers are definitely not playing ball so I guess the consumers are the one's who get screwed till carriers pull their weight in regards to cloud storage/data caps. Not to mention spotty coverage, but in Google's ideal world, we'd always be connected (and probably using Google Voice for calls while we're at it). Sadly, it means we get jipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Don't care. I'll get the 32G phone unless it's difficult to get. 16G on the nexus s has worked out fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that's the truth and nothing but the truth my friend

i feel the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
I can definitely agree with that. Dont want to but the reality is... the world is not ready for cloud. And it takes initiative to even get it started, but there are issues with standardization, globalization, energy costs, wasted energy, access, speed, security and drum roll... u.s.a. corporations getting in the way. I'd like to see what google could do with tmobile. Google could almost single handedly tackle most of those issues but again corporate america would probably be the single biggest obstacle.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dylanear:
Yep, to me this is a blatant "screw you" from Google. With connectivity issues and expensive non-unlimited data plans being the norm "the cloud" is really useless for me for the bulk of my data. To me the power of the cloud at this point and into the foreseeable future is for backup and syncing, NOT general data access. With memory being dirt cheap it's insane and really greedy to encourage less memory on phones in my opinion.

I think 32GB should be the standard for internal memory with 64GB being the high end AND all but the most low end or super duper slim phones having an SD card slot as well.

I just hope ICS is out for the Bionic before too long. I want a phone like the GN SOOOO bad, but no SD, no deal.

Those who say, "what's the point of SD, just use the cloud!" are either very clueless, or have great reception and unlimited data, or very little data.
