Ok am rooted and have Android Market. Downloaded Mplayer but I have some movies that the wife wants on the NT (Harry Potter). Most are AVI format as I ripped them from DVD's. Will the NT play those with Mplayer or should I change them to Mp4's.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
They should play.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
Use mx player it will play avi, xvid,divx, without issue. It supports many other formats as well.

You can either use what the above posters have suggested or change them to mp4.

I have couple avi video files won't play, and then some will play just fine. I wonder if it's because the resolution isn't right or not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yaggermr:
Resolution shouldn't be an issue the way the avi was encode could be. Are using the stock player because its just ok not great. Try mxplayer its pretty close to great if not great. Some mvk will studder over wifi but other than that it play anything I throw at it.

That's sounds great. lol.

Ok still having some wierdness. Got MX Player you guys using Hardware or Software modes. I seem to be having issues with it in hardware mode. I re-ripped all the Harry Potter dvd's for the wife and some play and some dont. I ripped them all as MP4 just to be safe.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
I have MX player installed, and i could only play about 50% of my avi. I'll probably have to look into the ones that play, and comparing to the ones that don't, and see if something stands out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
>I have MX player installed, and i could only play about 50% of my avi.

AVI is a container format that has been hacked to contain streams that it was never designed to contain. Better PC players can accommodate the hacks, but the Android ones can't.

Fix: Install MKVToolnix. Drop in the AVI, click Start Muxing. 10 secs later, you get an MKV that works.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] wktra:
Last Sunday, I backed up my phone using Clockwork Recovery. Tuesday, I began fiddling with systemUI.apk to get rid of an annoying mod that put the carrier name on the statusbar. I found the line in the xml and deleted it. I re-compiled it and signed it. I pushed it to my phone and rebooted. All of a sudden, I lost my statusbar entirely. I tried to push a backup copy of systemUI.apk, but that didn't work. After several reboots and attempts at restoring the backup file, I gave up and admitted that I screwed up beyond my capacity to repair the damage.

I'm pretty certain that I incorrectly compiled it. But that's not the point.

The point is that after all was said and done, I reverted back to Sunday's backup, which was pristine. I wiped all data, cleared the caches, deleted the battery stats, etc, etc. And I selected to restore Sunday's backup.

After the first reboot, everything was back in place (apps, wallpaper, settings), but still,

no statusbar

.

After several reboots, I was left with no statusbar. Even after restoring an untouched clockwork backup.

Frustrated, I knew I had to reflash with my fave rom and install most of the stuff all over again. Even with Titanium Backup Pro, it's still a hassle because restoring both apps + data will produce errors with Google apps. And sometimes, the data won't get restored on other apps, forcing me to do everything manually anyways.

So here's my main problem and question.

Clockwork mod should have restored EVERYTHING back to its original state, yes? It should have backed up a pristine systemUI.apk and it should have restored a pristine systemUI.apk.

So what happened?

How did my backed-up systemUI.apk become affected by my tinkering afterwards?

Honestly, what's the point of a backup if it won't restore everything to a prior functional state? :P

For the record, I'm on a P509 (very) successfully running Mik's CM7 6.6.1 with franco's -22112011 kernal.

Anyone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] xuanduc987:
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think you havent changed permission of SystemUI.apk, and, as I know if you dont wipe, cwm just keep that wrong permission. May you just wipe /system then re-restore your backup?

Hi

I have been using magnetic closing case (prair) and wondering how bad it is for display and using pen.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] awtchan:
I've been using PDair cases with magnetic closures on a succession of smartphones since WM days. Never encountered problems.

Could be a different story if you also keep your VISA or AE cards inside.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] ChodTheWacko:
Correct. Wacom styluses use a form of magnetic resonance. Having a strong magnet near the touchscreen is going to mess with it.

I suppose if it's a weak magnet, on the back - that might not be a problem.

Magnetic Closures

Does the magnet have any permanent effect on the screen or stylus! I plan on carrying mine on a horizontal belt pouch, but remove it during use. This doesn't seem likely to have any bad effect, but would like to hear from someone who knows for sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] choikugi:
I have been using PDair cases for Galaxy note for two weeks and never noticed any problem so far. accuracy of S-pen is same whether I put Note in case or not. Also it does not affect accuracy of GPS fortunately. I guess it may depend on strength of a magnet.

But I am still wondering if it would affect screen or something else.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] choikugi:
I found this in Galaxy Note manual

' Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow

your device to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of

time. ' Page 180

Even though my PDair case does not do anything, I decide not to use it anymore.

I will look for another case which does not have magnet :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droiduser:
I got a pdair too, with magnetic closure, the back side if the magnet is pretty weak so probably won't do any phone damage, was wandering if maybe i could remove the metal magnet clasp and stitch in a small square of Velcro over it and some on the tongue end too but I'm not sure if taking out the metal bits will rip the leather to much?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] bgalb:
Didn't notice that in the manual. Glad that the temporary case I ordered with magnetic closures was only $5. Will try to remove the magnets, if possible, and stitch on some velcro.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] qazzi76:
This is the correct answer.

Even though it may not seem like it's affecting the Note. The magnets in the case will eventually cause problems for the built in gyroscope, compass as well as the Wacom technology based S-Pen.

I have personally tested and seen this for myself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
Hi from me. Do we know from our own experience that a simple magnetic clip can cause problems? I am asking because I used such cases in the past (some of them were official) with many phones without any problems and some of them also had a pen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Carmageddon1984:
Well, I would like to order an E6 EASECASE myself with magnetic closure:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E6-EASECA...Accessories&hash=item564714a197#ht_7004wt_905

However, as you can see this case is much more thick than the A1 etc (meaning distance from phone to magnet is larger.

And magnetic forces diminish by R^2 - perhaps it is enough for not affecting it?

If its still not enough, what about this idea:

Could we replace them with the Tetrax X-Way magnets? they are designed not to cause magnetic fields, and should not affect the phone in any way.

Speaking of which - I want to order a Tetrax x-Way holder for the car soon (which means one magnet would be glued to the back of the phone) - Do we really know these magnets do not create any magnetic fields?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
Hi again. Do we know anyone who faced an actual problem with a magnetic case or is this just a generic safety instruction? With almost all leather cases having magnets I suppose we should have been hearing more about smartphones facing this problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Carmageddon1984:
Problem is that its an accumulative effect, to magnetize the gyroscope, pen etc you need prolonged exposure to constant magnetic fields (more than 1 month probably).

Question is what kind of magnetic fields still exists in the cases I wrote in the earlier post (E6 wallet, Tetrax X-Way special magnets with supposedly no fields).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
I dont believe that these magnets are strong enough to cause any problems. Otherwise we will be facing problems also with the credit cards etc. I have send an email to Pdair asking about the magnets isue and they replied that they never got any complaints about it. Do we have any link to an actual incident? I am asking because J want to order a case and all that I like use magnets.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] choikugi:
I tested magnet meter in Galaxy note and magnet in PDair case slightly affect magnet meter. So the magnet in case eventually makes magnet meter in note confused and as a result it would indicate wrong direction or current location.

Try to download compass app through market and test it !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droiduser:
I can confirm that the pdair small magnetic closure does affect the compass, i just noticed when i flipped the top over to the back that the compass direction on maps changed to a wrong direction.

I've now removed the magnetic clasp form the case and will stitch in a small velcro dot to both ends (will still look classy ;))

So yes, i thought maybe it wouldnt do much as the magnetic force on the back is pretty weak, but if you flip it over (like every time your using the phone you usually flip the main cover all the way to the back) the main force of the magnet seems to affect the phone quite a bit.

Why do these 'high quality' phone case manufacturers keep making magnetic locks for compassed/gps cellphones!! I really like that new Zenus carbon case and would get it if it didnt have a magnet!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] paris.gr:
I was reading the Samsung Galaxy S1 & S2 manual and the same warning about magnetic cases is mentioned so it doesnt seem to be Note specific so I am thinking to totaly ignore it and buy my case of choice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] droiduser:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] choikugi:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] eug:
Is it really a surprise to anyone that a magnet affects a compass?

Pretty much all smartphones have a built-in compass. I'm very sure damaging the compass isn't an issue. Misleading directions is something to think about, but that happens to any compass on any phone if you hold a magnet near it. It's a compass after all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] namelok:
I just had an issue with a magnet case, searched xda and found this topic. I had a problem with the s-pen not registering strokes when over the part where magnets are, even with the case off. It returned to normal after a day without the case, but gave me a scare. Don't use magnet cases!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] freedomispopular:
So what's the verdict on this exactly? I'd like to get a standard belt case to hold my Note when I'm not using it, when I'm out of the house, otherwise it would just be sitting out. Would that have any long term effect on the phone?

I do not know how much more of a recommendation you can get than for Samsung to emphatically and expressly forbid their use..

"Do not use carrying cases or accessories with magnetic closures or allow

your device to come in contact with magnetic fields for extended periods of

time."

Manufacturers warnings are there for a reason!.. and, given i doubt that any poster who said "it should be ok" will buy you a replacement Note if yours dies, I suggest you do not take the opinions, statements, or posts of others as evidence that your Note, that YOU paid for, will be ok..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] freedomispopular:
That makes sense, but on the other hand they do have to cover all their bases. Unfortunately I've had a hard time finding a magnet-less belt case, and an even harder time finding one big enough to fit my bulky case.

I bought a magnetic case and had it for over a month. I read this forum before but still bought one anyway. Anyhooo.. just today my galaxy note went beserk! The screen turned green and the screen's wall paper turned gray, it had lines, it went up and down. I couldn't even describe it! It was like that for about 5 minutes then it turned black and went to normal.

I would attribute this to having a magnetic case since this is the 1st time it happened and I never dropped or did anything to my SGN so maybe it was the magnets.

I replaced my magnets with velcro and it turned out great! the small magnets measured around 1 cm each.

It's better to take precaution with your SGN since it costs a lot of moola$$. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] HelvinHT:
I got the same green+grey with lines in my screen. Already happend 3x.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] k4syx:
Actually this is known as the screen spaghetti and has nothing to do with covers of any type - just a random ICS/GPU/CPU (?) bug.

I do have a belt pouch with magnets, I've been using it for a little more than a month and everything works fine.

I've checked strenght of the magnetic field inside and outside of the case (exactly over/under magnets), not by any scientific metod with specialized equipement but just by using needle.

Magnets are quite strong on the outside (as they are working as a lock there), but to my real surprise I've found that there is almost no field on the inside, not even enough to hold the needle in place.

So I guess that the right answer for the question in OP is "it depends".

My case seems to be fine, but this doesn't mean that every other out there will be ok. YMMV - as usually.

I have been using my note 2 for almost two months and a half with a magnetic flip cover (not original).

Today I found a small needle attached to the cover so I thought that the magnetic might affect my phone!!:confused:.

Although during this long period I didn't notice any serious issues, I decided to stop using my cover and to buy a new one.

I noticed after removing the cover that the "S-pen Keeper" feature had finally worked!!!

However, I read that Samsung warned that a magnetic cover would damage the motherboard,is that true?

if yes would I see any kind of damages directly, or after a while?

BTW,the one who sold me the cover is a Samsung's employee from their official store!!!!

Hello! First of all, I'm using GingerDX v.20 and ALFS kernel v.05. I partitioned my sd-card so now I have FAT32, ext3 and swap partition. My problem is that second time in a week period (I restored to official soft, installed GingerDX and it happened today again) all my installed applications stopped working, even the Market (but most of pre-included are working). I took a look into problem and found out that after mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2, there are directories on it indicating there are installed apps on this partition. My guess then is that somehow GingerDX is not mounting ext3 partition during boot, so the applications can't be loaded (however, they're found on list Applications settings but under development names [i.e. com.google.android.apps.market]). Any ideas how to solve this problem?
