[HTC Sensation] alitomari:
I do not use facebook, I have sync turned off, and I also have wifi, mobile, gps, and bluetooth off. For brightness I use the dimmer app, so it is on its lowest setting. Taking your advice, I looked at my radio signal, and using the recommended radio for ARHD, it showed the radio was not green but grey.

So I reflashed the radio to the one in your signature, and now that bar is yellow. I'll monitor this and let you know if this fixes the problem. Is the radio supposed to be green? Is there another radio I should try if this doesn't work?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Make sure you flash the matching RIL files to match the radio (when you do this in Clockwork Mod or 4Ext mount /system first before flashing the zip) to give best radio signal.

Green means you are getting good signal, yellow means decent, red is awful. Grey I honestly have no clue.

Different radios give different results for different people. I am not sure where you live to know the best radio to suggest but any changes make sure you match the RILs for that radio.
[HTC Sensation] UK-Sense:
@ Kohr-Ah

where do you get the matching RIL's from ?

say I tried a different radio on my phone, just to try to get a decent usage from my battery, where does the RIL come into the equation ? what exactly is a RIL and what doe it do ?

Oh, I'm in the UK so if you have a good radio suggestion that I could use on the O2 network, feel free to let me know ;)
[HTC Sensation] jorra:
Same here, sometimes it gets as low as 40mA but just stay like that for 2 minutes then it's back at between 90-180mA in sleep mode. I'm on ARHD 3.6.5 with Bricked 1.5... Stock gave me about 2 1/2 day of normal use, now I'm down at about 10-12h... Seems to me it's a ARHD problem and not Kernel cause I tried a few Kernels as well.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
How about giving the stock kernel a try? Along with what everyone else is saying of course.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:

Matching RILS (Just match to the radio you just installed)

MUST MOUNT /SYSTEM before you flash. Otherwise they don't install.

That explains what the Radio Interface Layer is and does. Basically communicated the radio portion and telephony portion of your phone (if you don't want to read a techinical site)
[HTC Sensation] alitomari:
Thank you so much for your help so far. I'm on Tmobile in the USA, what radio would you suggest for that, and where do I get the RIL files from?

[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
I've had a good experience so far (in terms of both battery life and data reception) with the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M radio and HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ. I tried the XE radio before that (10.15.9035.02_2 and HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ), and it was also pretty good, but it seems like battery life and data reception is a bit better with the first radio+ril I pointed out.
[HTC Sensation] jorra:
Cause stock can't record calls... But I'll try that for test purposes and post the result here. I'm also going to try a different radio and perhaps a different ROM (maybe both Stock and cooked).

I installed Faux 014 last night and it worked really good (50-55mA in sleep) until I sent a text, after that it was back to "fake' sleep mode with 90-180mA. I guess this can still be Radio, ROM or Kernel... The search continues.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Click the word faux in my signature. That gives you 0.24 final. 014 is ooooolllddd

[HTC Sensation] liroyvh:
I have the same problem with both faux as bricked kernels. I never had this problem until I recently upgraded the ROM.

In sleep mode it takes about 6% battery per hour, with background sync off this is reduced to 4 - 5%. I usually lost about 1% and 2% max when it was sleeping. Didnt install anything new... And this is on my Anker 1900mAh battery. I really dont want to know how fast it will burn through my stock battery :P
[HTC Sensation] alitomari:
I tried both the recommended radio and RIL, I'm still draining 100-150mA while the phone is sleeping. Is there anything else to try? Does this mean its the rom? If so, I'm hoping the upcoming ARHD update fixes this issue.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Are you using the stock kernel that came with your Rom? If so try the one in my sig (click the name) and set OC Daemon to Bypass 192000/1560000 Intellidemand. See how that does.
[HTC Sensation] alitomari:
Just tried the one in your signature, I'm still getting 100-150mA drain while the phone is sleeping, and my battery is still draining incredibly quickly.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
When switching kernels I always get quick drain. About the third charge I get accurate battery measurement

Sent from my HTC Sensation in UR-Quan subspace.
[HTC Sensation] alitomari:
Ok, I'll wait 3 charges and report back. During say when you first flash a new kernel, have you looked at the battery monitor app to see the drain? Like I've been saying, when the phone is asleep its draining over 100mA when this should be around 20mA or so. What could be the cause?
[HTC Sensation] red8981:
Maybe turn off any auto update app. such as weather app and etc.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
I also noticed an improvement in both cell service and battery with this radio/RIL combo in RI/CT/MA (northeastern US).

So, try it, nothing to lose.

I am running Faux 2.4, bypass profiles, 192,000 to 1,512,000, sync'ing FB, Twitter, 2 email accounts. I am getting the best battery I've ever seen on Sensation -- not like some of the people here, but I use my phone a lot.

I don't have to worry about being near a charger for a full day or day and a half.

[HTC Desire S] pegas73:
I have noticed that in Sense 3.0 there is no longer available a feature that was in place in version 2.0. I mean the automated SMS when getting a call. It means when getting a call and touching the options button there was possibility (in Sense 2.0) to send a SMS with pre-set text. Now the options button doesn't work at all. You can only receive or deny a call or mute the ringing by pressing the side volume buttons. That's all. I am quite disappointed to lose this option because the automated SMS was very handy thing which I used quite often when I could not receive calls (during meetings, negotiations etc.).

Can you please check that the feature is indeed dead in 3.0? Or do you have any tricks?

Thx.

Just a side note, having branded O2 Desire S with 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, no root no S-off. I am just an ordinary user.
[HTC Desire S] Vpp20:
I am an ordinary user as well, same version, same 3.0, but from other country.

What I see :

If your phone is active when a call comes -- you still has a chance to decline the call with preset message.

If not -- you can not decline the call.

I think it is a mistake of HTC
[HTC Desire S] pegas73:
Thx Vpp20 for info.

That's right you can send the automated SMS when the phone is up but you can't do that if the phone is in standby/sleeping mode what in Sense 2.0 was possible. It looks really like a bug.
[HTC Desire S] djomla43:
hi to all :) also has that "bug" but iv noticed that when I receive sms with number in it,after clickin on that number only optio is to call it,on the sense 2.1 you had option to open contact etc,etc.
[HTC Desire S] Vpp20:
In fact - no

It depends on where you tap

If you tap on phone number - you get a dialing screen

If you tap on contact name, you get a full menu:

- send

- call

- open contact

- forward

- get message info

- delete

- copy to SIM card

- block the message
[HTC Desire S] djomla43:
if in one message i have few numbers sender's number and number of someone else,when I click on any number i get call screen, im askin how to get "open contact etc " for number in message body not open etc for sender. so,in fact yes that feature don't work as in sense 2.1.

Hi,

I would like to request the help of the Rooting Gurus 

I have an S2 and the info of the phone is the following:

PDA: I9100XWKG1

PHONE: I9100XXKG1

CSC: I9100XEFKG2

From the thread in this forum I found that in order to root the phone I have to download the following firmware version:

XWKG1

Firmware info

PDA:XWKG1

PHONE: XXKG1

Date: 05/07/2011

Android 2.3.3

XEF (France): link1

TUR (Turkey): link2

ITV (Italy): link3

XWKG1 Stock Kernel:link4

From what I understand I have to download the first one (XEF France) since it matches my CSC code and also the XWKG1 Stock Kernel.

I use the custom firmware first with Odin and then the stock kernel in order to remove the yellow triangle.

This firmware though is version 2.3.3 and my problem is what do I do if I want to upgrade it (not from Kies)

From samfirmware I see that there are firmwares with version 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 but not sure which one I can use without causing a problem to the phone

In the firmware table for example it has the following two versions:

Europe Firmware	.PIT	Android	Date	CSC

I9100XXKG2	EXT4.PIT	2.3.4	2011 July 12	MULTI-CSC-OXAKG2

And

I9100XXKI3 EXT4.PIT	2.3.5	2011 September 15 CSC-OXAKI3

From the letter code (XX) in one of the threads here I way that XX letter code means:

XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom

1) Can I use any of the above firmwares even though it seems that the CSC code doesn’t match?

2) How can I change the CSC code?

Thank you in advance for your help
[Galaxy S II General] sxi200:
In short.....yes you can flash them.safely.

I am from Australia and use the UK csc.

Alternatively, you can flash the firmwares you like then flash just the csc you want after that over it.

If you have cwm recovery I would recommend doing a backup just in case you want to go back. Or just use Odin if you already have your stock firmware.

The players I used were Daroon Player and the original stock Video player and I'm on Honeycomb 3.2.

Playback was very choppy and no audio.

What's your experience with HD video on S1 tablet? Any ideas, how to improve it?
[Sony Tablet S] sandstroem:
Try mx video player, free from market.

Works great for me!
[Sony Tablet S] lbretth:
I found the same issue. A 1080p mkv that plays smoothly on my SGS2 phone stutters awfully on the tablet. I've tried all the suggested video players without success. I'm very disappointed. I hope it's just a SW issue that gets resolved in an update.
[Sony Tablet S] kainv:
Thanks, will try it, but I doubt it's any good... I guess it's a codec or some 3.2 quirk...

EDIT:

Tried it and no, it did not help- same choppy video with no sound.

I'm wondering is it supposed to play AC3 sound out of a box?

EDIT2:

In mx player there are some options that I can choose: h/w decoder, s/w docoder and s/w decoder (fast).

When I choose software decoder, then I have sound for like 10 seconds :) And the picture looks *little bit* less choppier...

You have to convert your video to Divx / XviD MP4.

AVC is no suitable to play higher than 3000kbps
[Sony Tablet S] Maedhros:
Had the same issues... hence why I returned my tablet a long time ago... :mad:
[Sony Tablet S] kainv:
Concerning the HD movies I've come to a conclusion, that it is practically impossible to watch them on the S1 tablet, since the majority of 720p are over 4GB and 1080p movies over 8GB, you really have no way of getting them inside your device.

You cannot store a file that's larger than 4GB on the S1's internal USB storage and Android can only read FAT32 formatted external memory (SD Cards or USB storage devices), so you cannot place your HD movies there either, because of the 4GB limitation of FAT32 file system. (I have tried to format SD card to exFAT, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3 and Ext4, but Android just won't recognize media formatted this way; Actually I'm very confused why it didn't recognize native linux Ext* partitions?).

And since we don't have root, we cannot mount external samba shares either...

So you're stuck and can only watch media with size under 4GB and with lower video bitrates.

***

Is my conclusion correct or is there currently a way to watch HD movies with file size over 4GB on S1?
[Sony Tablet S] Guitardave:
I've downloaded blu-ray rips at under 4gb and watched them on my 42" tv, and they looked great. Now obviously they're not going to be as good as watching the disc itself, but if they're good enough to watch on a 42" tv and still look like good quality HD, then I'm sure they're good enough to watch on a 9" screen! You really shouldn't need anything above the 720p version - the Sony Tablet's screen is a lower resolution than 1920*1080 so couldn't display a 1080p file to it's full potential anyway.

Hope this helps! :-)
[Sony Tablet S] kainv:
Agreed.

Just that... my entire movie collection is at least 720p :) Just have to re-encode then I guess.
[Sony Tablet S] lbretth:
Guitardave, I totally take your point about the screen not being capable of displaying the full res of 1080p. But for me that's kinda like saying theres no point watching Bluray on an HD Ready (720p) tv because it can't display the full resolution. I don't really want to spend hours transcoding films to watch on the tablet when I go away, and be limited to just watching those which have been done.

It's just a shame, that's all. I expect the next model will cope without any problems. This aside, i'm still impressed and happy with he tab overall.
[Sony Tablet S] Guitardave:
Just as an experiment, it would be good to download a movie trailer in 720p, and then the same trailer in 1080p, and see if you can actually see any difference in picture quality. I doubt it personally, on such a small screen (as opposed to, say, a 50" tv). Better still, do a blind test - get someone else to start the clips playing, and you make a call as to which is which...
[Sony Tablet S] kainv:
Of course you won't notice the difference on such a small screen, but that's not the point.

The point is, you have to waste time re-encoding your movies to watch them on the go :(

[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
I am able to play full 1080p HD video just fine on my sony tablet s. Using the stock video player too. No problem. No lag, no choppy frame-rate. You just need to convert your video to the right codec for tablet. If you go to PlayStation store from your PS3 and download free 1080P trailers and transfer it to your tablet you'll see that it plays perfect! To use the same codec that Sony uses for their HD video trailers in the PlayStation store, I use AVS video converter to convert my video for my sony tablet. And it works flawlessly. But most of my video are already that format so I never really have to convert all of them.

Just load any video in AVS video Converter, select convert to MP4, Under profile select for "tablet", select 1080p resolution(1920x1080p), select mp4 iso v.2-H.264/AVC codec. set the bitrate higher if you want better video qaulity and click convert.

Now you'll have a 1080p video that is perfectly optimized for your Sony tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] kainv:
Thanks, but it still does not solve my main problems. Wasted time on video conversion and the 4GB file limit :(
[Sony Tablet S] CypherWolf:
Well I guess you would have to slit the movie into two parts if it's a long movie. The codec I use in the method above also compress the file size of the video. I have a 6 minute full 1080p HD video that looks great and it's only around 150MB, so a 1 hour movie would be around 1.5GB? I'm not that great with math. But anyways, it keeps the quality good while lowering the file size, which is good.

I know video conversion can be a waste of time but it's better than waiting for an update or a proper solution. We'll just have to deal with what we can do right now.

You can not pass a video of more than 4 gigabytes that the memory format of the tablet is FAT 32 or FAT data will allow you to put more than 4.6 or 4.5 gigabytes if could you put him NTFS up to 8 gigabytes and USB sd and use the same format so waiting for the root.

HD1080 can only get video not exceeding the 4.5 like harry poter that weighs more than 5 gigabytes greetings
[Sony Tablet S] cow138:
Hi,

Any idea on how to encode the video to enable hardware decoding? Just feel that everytime I watch a video is running on software decoding even though its mp4 encoded.

So I am not too sure whether I am encoding it right. I am currently on mp4, 1280x720, video bitrate at 1500.

Thanks.

This is frustrating - I thought I loved the device, but the video playback is in my opinion almost terrible.

I was watching a 720p episode lately, and I also discovered the choppy video and no sound. I've used MX video player

When there is no sound or crappy sound: There is this music note on the side, I had two options: sound track #1 and sound track #1 - English ( S / W ). Swap between these two and end up selecting the last option (sound track #1 - English ( S / W )).

The above stated option also worked for laggy video. I was able to watch it fully with 10% lag in total :P It is still to much, but watchable (It's just that some parts lag for no reason, the rest is just fine).

Idk if this will work for others, but it partly did for me :)

I am having similar issues with problems playing files. For example, I downloaded an AVI 720p MP4 movie that is roughly 1.7 gigs that has issues playing. I am using MX Video and have changed the video to h/w and the audio to s/w. When I play the file over my network drive the audio and video is stop and go bu better than through the sd card. When I transfer the file to the sd card and play through mx player it is as if it is being fast forwarded. What I don't understand is it is only with certain files that are compatible with the S1 and all the files work perfect on my computer and Boxee box. Any thoughts other ideas than recoding files for hours?
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
I used the same setting as you stated and I am still having issues with it choppiness. Not sure what the problem is. Also it does not give me the option for h/w decoded only s/w after recoding to your specs with mx player. Any thoughts?
[Sony Tablet S] whmcal:
I had this problem too. Noticed that the situation developed.about a week after buying tablet and having installed several apps. However, what I found worked, was looking at the recent apps I'd installed and then uninstalling one at time and restarting the system. If there was no difference when a particular app was removed, I would reinstall the app.

guys do your google homework: tegra2 = cannot do hi profile x264, also some limitation on number of reference frames and other detailed encoding settings.

Have someone perhaps figured out what might be optimal settings for out tablets when it comes to playing videos/movies and what not :) ?
