Maybe I'm the only super anal person here but what I want is for my Facebook app to match my theme, so I themed it but now I can't get it to install. I tried replacing it in data/app, I tried deleting it and installing the themed version, I tried making a flashable, nothing works. It just either says not installed or doesn't show up. Any one smarter than me know what the hell I'm doing wrong?

I just tried a 3gp coded full-HD 1080p video - tapped on it, it immediately opened and played like it's nothing. :D

So to all people who are wondering if it can handle full hd - hell yes, with great ease.

Remember though that HD videos through media player are not the same thing as HD videos in browser. Also, encode it in formats that NK likes (so it can use hardware decoding).

Woot! Woot! :D

EDIT: I've also tried MP4 tegra testing vids - 1920x1080 plays like a champ, full fps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dermotti:
nice, was looking for a post like this. I plan on mostly buying this to watch videos in bed. Sounds like it will fit the bill.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shaxs:
My 720p MKV plays video fine, but no audio. I cant figure out how to get a different player on there to test. Anyone have an APK for a free video player that I can try to sideload?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DarkDvr:
Your NK will not let you sideload, it'll say unrecognized file.

Sideloading is still something I'm waiting for =)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] shaxs:
Got it.... I wish I knew why my mkv was not playing audio.. I want to upgrade from the OG Nook Color so I dont have to re-encode video files for trips.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DarkDvr:
You can either recode them to mp4 or wait for sideloading to be enabled...

Ok, so i just read the post on XDA about Carrier IQ. I need some help removing this garbage from my RAZR - if it is even on the device. I would donate to someone that is able to figure out if the RAZR has this crap and if so a way to remove it.

If you don't mind me asking who is this Guy? And what the show lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Wow this show is very awesome ... and the host is funny in a geeky way... i might start watching this O.o i havent even tried looking for Matias, im 7 mins into the show and havent wanted to skip anything. is.. every show like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
"I can't steal the partner's thunder." -Matias Duarte on The Verge

Said it would come out in November, can't steal ...Verizon's thunder... or maybe "partner"s was plural.. like.. partners thunder, and not partner's thunder O.o lol.. im analyzing the shizzle out of this but still..

so there that is O.o btw i watched 30 mins of the show so far, im liking it.

Edit: so hes not running the "final" build on his own nexus, its a week old.. meaning the final build hasnt been released yet, so throw out those worries about "bugs" that p3droid was talking about >.> also hes using the Verizon LTE model since he said "its still pretty thin" and didnt let the host hold the phone for a close up shot, and covered the back with his palm deliberately while holding it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Guy: Matias Duarte. He designed Honeycomb and ICS.

Show: 'On The Verge'. A show from Joshua Topolsky's new site, The Verge.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
hey marton ive had this burning question and you seem pretty knowledgeable on a lot of stuff so... do you knwo if there is a size difference between a 16GB internal storage chip and a 32GB internal storage chip (or whatever they are :x)

Just asking to see if maybe the GSM Nexus is too thin to include the 32GB storage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Depends how they do it. If they literally replace the 16gb with a 32gb chip, no there's no negligible difference.

If they go the arguably cheaper route to get 32gb, it means using 2x16gb chips, and yes it'll be thicker (obviously).

We don't know what they're doing though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Ah shoot, as much as I want the 32GB, I was hoping it couldn't fit in the GSM Nex... so I could just go ahead already and import it, all this waiting and hopign for the slim chance a GSM 32GB comes out this year is killer >.>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
He clearly intimated that Google is "not selling it".

That's a damn shame, no unlocked version in the states it seems. =/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
where'd you get that? I listened to every word and didn't get that impression
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
He just clearly knows that there are contractual obligations that the carriers must be the ones to first announce it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
Topolosky: When can we buy it?

*creepy dungeon stuff*

Duarte: We're not selling it, we can't steal the partners'('s?) thunder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Thyrus:
i loved the part of whitebalance, exposure etc on the point-and-click cameras being "crap". That wont score him brownie points with all the camera geeks etc out there, but I tend to agree:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
GN on Tmo USA in November is looking grim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
ah heard it now, the host spoke over him when he said "we're not selling it"

yeah i think he was just relating that sentence to the next one that says he cant steal the partners thunder.. i dont think he literally meant he (Google) is not going to sell the NexIII

its hard to explain O.o but its like... he was relating the circumstances..that because he isnt the one selling it, its not his announcement to make... like, giving a reason as to why he cant announce it...

so.. hopefully this made sense :x lol, but yeah i firmly believe he wasn't directly stating that Google will not sell it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
The way he said it doesn't directly mean that Google isn't going to sell it, directly. What he said just means that since the release date hasn't yet been offered, and Verizon is the main "partner" for the device, it is most likely part of the contractual agreement with Verizon that *they* be the ones to announce the release date.

El Goog may yet still be selling the device unlocked, but Verizon is going to be the first one to spill the release date details in the United States. Once that happens, Google (and anyone else that might be offering the device) will spill the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You are both right. Mathias meant not selling it (other peoples thunder they didnt want to steal (or not allowed to), but Google deliverately stepped away from that after the Nexus one.

They said, many times, we are not Phone sellers or a phone shop and as such have discontinued going down this route.

I doubt they would have changed their mind in the meantime. the developer phone section from developer.android.com is gone also since then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
Yea i think verizon had a contract with Google and it said that today was the last possible day for vzw to make an announcement (considering tomorrow is the official release date for the nexus) , which is why tmobile is probably going to announce their phone tonight, and verizon sometime earlier today.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
The nexus S was sold unlocked by Samsung or Google wasn't it? Anyways I guess we'll see today if tmo is getting thphone or not.

My thoughts: verizon exclusive thing is bs (it only applies to the lte version, or they are exclusively allowed to announce the phone first in the us). TMo is going to announce the nexus at midnight EST, and verizon is going to sometime earlier in the day. I'm just hoping we get a 32gb model :/ guess we'll see tonight

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
@Dmw017

nope. Google Nexus One only. They ceased the selling part right after that (Google that is).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
My only hope is that Best Buy is one of their partners.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
Duarte certainly sounded like he meant partner in the singular term. Saying the partner instead of our partners is usually singular no ?

Man are we overanalyzing or what.

Exclusivity deals suck ass and Fu** Verizon.

No the Nexus S was available exclusively through Best Buy in the USA.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
I've uploaded a suite of 720p and 1080p MP4 clips to test for video playback performance. All are made from the same clip (the hunting scene from Avatar). These should be playable with the standard video player.

http://mediafire.com/?depxt4zyvpwel (download folder)

The clips progress from easiest to most demanding. The "min" clips use baseline profile, low bitrate, and minimum compression. The "avg" clips reflect typical scene rips, with medium compression settings and bitrate. The "max" clips mimics worst-case scene rips with max compression settings and level 5.1 setting. The last clip is the original BluRay clip.

clip_720p_min.mp4 - lightweight rip, baseline profile, L3.1, RF23, Ref1, veryfast preset, 7.7Mbs avg

clip_720p_avg.mp4 - typical scene rip, high profile, L4.1, RF21, Ref4, medium preset, 8.5Mbs avg

clip_720p_max.mp4 - worst-case scene rip, high profile, L5.1, RF20, Ref16, veryslow preset, 9.1Mbs avg

clip_1080p_min.mp4 - L4.0, 14.8Mbs avg

clip_1080p_avg.mp4 - L4.1, 16.9Mbs avg

clip_1080p_max.mp4 - L5.1, 18.7Mbs avg

clip_1080p_master.mp4 - master BluRay clip (2-part rar), high profile, 31Mbs avg, 45Mbs peak

The hunting scene is a very intense scene in Avatar and is a good stress test. Per the bitrate graph of the 1080p_max clip below, it has two peaks, 32.5Mb/s @ 0:44, and 29.1Mb/s @ 1:12 (these are when the shot beasts take a tumble into the mud). If frame-drops happen, they would be at these two spots.

Please try any clip you wish to test, and give feedback on whether playback is smooth with no frame-drops, particularly at around the two "mud splashes."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lionclaw:
Using stock Nook video player:

Avatar_clip_1280_baseline.mp4 - Looks good, sounds good.

Avatar_clip_1280_high_5.1.aac.mp4 - Video looks good, no audio.

Avatar_clip_1920_baseline.mp4 - Looks good, sounds good.

Avatar_clip_1920_high.mp4 - Looks good, sounds good.

I can't say for certain what frame rates I'm getting, but it isn't choppy. The 1280 clips might be a bit smoother than the 1920 clips.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
blah......
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DarkDvr:
1280_baseline - all good, full fps

1280_high_5.1.aac - full fps, no sound at all

1280_high_mp3 - full fps, no sound at all

1280_high - all good, full fps

1280_main - all good, full fps

1920_main - all good, full fps

1920_high - all good, full fps

1920_baseline - all good, full fps

So it can play full hd no problem, but it doesn't like aac/mp3 audio or 5.1 channels?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
@DarkDvr

The Android spec for MP4 only allows stereo AAC. 3rd-party video players can play any audio format via ffmpeg software-decoding. But that may invoke software-decoding for the whole video, which means no more smooth playback.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
I've reuploaded a revised clip suite to better fit the 4430's performance. The ramping of challenge is more gradated, so you can more precisely determine the NT's video capability.

hi guys i was wondering if anyone here is using the same kernel and rom as me and not getting much battery improvements.

I9100XXKI1

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Siyah-2.2beta8

Nº: RevHD3.1.1

Im only getting about 24h with midrange usage i think its a bit low dont you think? im a missing some kind of an update or need to install anything?
[General Questions and Answers] Godmyster:
Any ideas guys?
[General Questions and Answers] alexangellakis:
I am also getting similar results. I use an app called battery juicer which helps with battery alot. ive been hearing that villian rom 3.0 is pretty great on battery but it is totally dependant on the user or course. i enjoy the HD revolution rom 3.1 , it is a great rom , very stable, works well with battery in comparisson to to stock and i love the apps that come when rom is initially installed suck as kitchen pro. More roms and updates will continue to improve so i would just wait a bit and im sure checkrom will update thier roms to have discusting battery life :)

kernal wise, i find that it is one of the best atm, i umderstand the battery issues because i dont get too much extra life but it is not to bad

[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
Just bought a Samsung Infuse on Craigslist and everything appeared to work fine, but it gives the error "no sim card inserted". I have tried multiple sim cards, but the results are the same. I also tried a factory reset. I have attempted to have it replaced by att and they confirmed its still under warranty, but because my sim card has never registered in the phone they are giving me hassle over it.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to fix this issue? The phone looks so new its hard to believe it has such a bad issue. The only similar story I could find was trouble with new sim cards.

Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks.:(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
I don't know if this is helpful or not but that happened to me one time. I was in an area with no service at all. How is your typical signal?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
I normally get a very strong 3g signal here, so I don't think thats it. Good idea tho :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stratatak7:
Eh it was worth a shot. Tell AT&T that you broke your SIM card during the insertion process? :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Same thing happened to me. Got it off craigslist.

Brought it to AT&T warranty store and after jumping through millions of flaming hoops, the guy finally told me the phone's IMEI was "locked" to a certain number or plan or something for 6 months after the date of purchase; may 15th. He said the phone will on it's own be usable November 15th or 16th, ergo today or tomorrow; and if not to bring it in for a swap.

Good luck!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
Oh man that sucks. Would totally make sense tho. Thanks for the info, I wonder if I could possibly unlock it or do anything to free it from that lock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
I tried unlocking with little success. My best guess for you is to contact AT&T service and ask when/where the phone was purchased, the guy was able to tell me it was from a best buy on may 15th with nothing but the IMEI number; that should give you an indication of when you could use yours. Of course there's also the chance there's just hardware damage, but the phone is under a 1 year warranty if it was new so you should be fine with that, continue to jump through ATT's hoops and you'll come out the other end some day :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
It's a better idea to use Samsung's warranty, because as long as it's under the one year warranty, Samsung will fix/replace it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
I checked it at the samsung website and confirmed its still under warranty. That will probably have to be the route i take. I am making a final attempt to get ATT to swap it tho cause they will send the replacement out rather than waiting for me to send this one in. Lets hope :/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] berryman13:
Look for an AT&T warranty and repair center in your area, they can replace it in person on the spot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
I dont think i live near any unfortunately. I call att and the customer service reps really seem to understand the issue, but they have to transfer me to warranty to finish the process and everything goes to hell. They barely speak english and dont listen at all! So frustrating :mad:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
If you do go to an ATT store and say hey, I want a new SIM card tthey will do it. I have had it done before. Just be nice, pick the guy that looks nerdy and doesn't like guidelines and shoot. I one had a guy who said that he would help me get unlimited data even a year and a half after they stopped it. They have good people there. Find them and ask them for a new one!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slapshot30:
How can you use the warranty of you weren't the original buyer? I also bought mine off of craigslist but i thought you needed proof of payment to get any kind of warranty replacement...

Sent from my Samsung Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
I got to work and tried a 3 year old sim card since I saw a post that someones infuse only worked with old sims, but had no luck with that. I also went to ATT on lunch and they were pretty much useless. I made a final call to ATT warranty, and while he put me on hold for another 20 minutes, i took a hard look at my sim card holder and noticed the contacts looked a little odd.

I am assuming when the original owner yanked his out it pulled the contacts and mangled them a bit. I was able to bend them up with my fingernail and then jam my sim into the slot forcing the contacts back into place. Powered it on and it freaking worked! I'm thinking as long as i never remove my sim it should be fine. I'm sure its got a hell of a good connection on the sim now lol. Thanks for all the ideas and info guys. I gotta say the ATT warranty department is absolute garbage customer service too. Just wow.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socalledsin:
So far I have been able to swap out an Atrix, and a Captivate that were still under warranty. As long as you have used the phone with your sim card on that number they wont even question you. My trouble with the warranty this time was partly because I was never able to register on their network with my sim, and partly because as it turns out the phone isnt even 30 days since originally purchased, so every call ended with them telling me to return it to radio shack.
