[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So after some good roms and some briked phones, what can we expect for the future.

The oxigem rom is stopped, cm7 is without a Dec, i think but people are saying that is going to come out another version, miui we lost the first Dec but after come another and he broke the phone last week.

So what is the situation people?

Lets see some opinions
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
Being Portuguese i think you are forgetting the weekly updates of miui from miui-pt team.

This has never stopped and will continue as its a team working for the same purpose. So where is the doubt?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Is true, sorry for this.

But we should have a space where everyone could give an opinion and see what we can expect

Because when i bought this phone my first reason was the roms, that could be a phone where we could exepect a lot of variaty or kernels, stuff to play with hit

Good evening. I hope you could help me in my problem: yesterday, while i was recording a video with my defy (cm7), someone phoned me and the video force closed. Now, i have a damaged 113mb m4v file that cannot be opened (i tried vlc). Is there a way to recover the damaged file? Please help me, it is an important video :(
[Defy General] abhi897:
Google it. I am sure something should come up.

I have the same problem!! I don´t find anything in google... Did you have sucess to fix your file?
[Motorola Droid X2] UbuntuBrandon:
Well a bit back I rooted my X2 on 2.3.4. Everything works fine and smooth, but I have had the issue of when I use my camcorder, and I go to play the files, they are corrupt and unplayable. Any clue to what is causing this?
[Motorola Droid X2] sdube3:
Are you on stock 2.3.4 or are you running a ROM?
[Motorola Droid X2] UbuntuBrandon:
Just Stock GB.
[Motorola Droid X2] ImgBurn:
Hy UbuntuBrandon,

Have you froze or removed any app? If so which one's? That maybe what's

causing the problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] stoneybalogne:
I'll throw my .02 in. I'm on my third DX2, as I returned the first two because the video absolutely sucked. I've tried ROMs, freezing, unfreezing, rooted, stock. Nothing has seemed to work, however I just installed lgcamcorder a few days ago and have had good luck so far. It has the option to drop the framerate, so I dropped it to 6 Mbit. I've tested with 30 sec, 1 min, and 5 min clips. So far so good.

Well, my karma just kicked in. Just as I hit "reply" my phone rebooted while in lgcamcorder. First time it's done that.
[Motorola Droid X2] UbuntuBrandon:
I never froze any apparently, no. But I just installed eclipse and it is working now. Ill never really know why I guess, but problem solved.

Is it possible to create a custom keyboard on my Android tablet to be used with my desktop? E.G. Create custom buttons on the Tablet to be used with games and such that shows icons and graphics on the tablet so I don't have to memorize keyboard shortcuts? (these graphic "hot spots" on the tablet translaate to keyboard mappings for the desktop.)

Thoughts? Kind of like the Optimus Tactus keyboard concept keyboard....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2158596:
Hey guys!

I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a couple days now, and I was thinking of loading it up with some movies I have at home. The problem is, I've ripped the movies in 720p .mp4 format on my Mac - but it won't play with the stock ICS player.. Rock Player works sort of, it shows video but it doesn't hide the on-screen buttons.

Rip details is: 720p h.264, AAC audio

Any ideas? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
Yeah, stock gallery doesnt play wide range of codecs yet so I rely on MX player instead. But having the same problem tho about the on screen buttons :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spiralz:
I find that the "dice" player from android market plays more stuff than any thing i can get straight .mkv files running perfect on my GN it is a paid app for the full version but im happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
Do you have the stay-on-screen-buttons problem on Dice Player?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
The only player that plays movies in full screen is Dice Player....but it has been removed from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BinaryTB:
Have you tried Mobo Player? Works great on my Nexus S with mkv/mp4/whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
It needs some codec (which cannot find in market) to download first in order to use it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
Make sure you use the right mp4 level I think level 4 is the Max android will recognize all my encodes work so far

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SnowmanAndy:
I'm using MX video player and MX Video Player CODEC.

Doubletwist is also very good.

All available from the market and have had no issues playing anything so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyguitar:
Cool, I forgot about Doubletwist, thanks.

I currently use QQPlayer, Diceplayer premium and Rockplayer. They all seem to play some files and not others.

I tried Moboplayer but ran into trouble installing the codec during the install process (even when installing 'offline')

Jonny

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Update - I just tried Doubleplayer, and while it plays everything it stuggles at times. More jerky (lower frame rate?) than QQPlayer.

I'd be happy with QQPlayer but the seek doesn't play nice. So if I miss something I have to start the video from scratch. And like I say, Dice, Mobo, Rockplayer and Realplayer (yes I was desperate) all appear to have various problems of their own.

I do recall VLC being released a year or so ago. But I guess it was pulled too?

I'd love to know if anyone has found a decent video app... (*I have a 4.5 hour daily commute into London!*)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nadavfima:
Dice Player ftw!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vosszaa:
Many people reported that it crashes on ICS, is that happened to you too?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
Hi,

In my older ROMs I had an option on sync accounts called Facebook for HTC (plus the original Facebook sync), which was very useful cause then I could delete the annoying always-online-facebook-app which I didn't use and only use the sync option of the Facebook-for-HTC, and I could sync contacts and contact pictures with it.

And now on my new ROM (Virtuous Affinity 1.48) I don't have it on the list (I believe because its Sense 3.5),

So to get contact synced with facebook pictures, I must Install the official annoying app which leaves me online to chat 24/7..

Is there any sollution for this?

Thanks,

Yarden.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisz5z:
Get the htcfacebook.apk from one of your older roms and install it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC_Phone:
I tried this, but usually it doesn't work. Has something to do with the different framework between Sense 2.1-3 and Sense 3.5 With Sense 3.5, Facebook for HTC Sense was removed, but Twitter remains. You'll have to either:

a) Download the official Facebook apk from the Market

b) Download an app such as 'FContactSync" or "EasySync" to sync your pictures (Both worked well for me)

c) Not sync Facebook
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisz5z:
I'm running rcmix3d with sense 3.5, and it has that apk. So you should be able to download Rcmix3d then just extract the apk from it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
I only see Rcmix3d with sense 3.0

Can u send me a link from where u downloaded please?

Or if its not too much to ask may I ask you to upload the app for me please? if you kept the rom file..

thank you,

and also thank you mr HTC_Phone, I prefer to keep that option to last.

The FB for htc is much more convenient then any other app, especially the official app.

and not syncing is not an option :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisz5z:

although it says some error :\

when I open the installation it says "its system app, blah blah, continue? yes.... and then "App not installed" :\

Is there a special way to install it?

I remember one time I used root manager, by a guide or something.. is it necessarily here too?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisz5z:
Yes, you'll have to copy it to /system/app with root manager or another file manager with root access
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjordan92:
well I putted it in the system app as you said.. rebooted.. but still no option for that in accounts sync..

also I cannot find it on titanium backup app list..

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
So after doing the usual searches, I can't find a solid answer to this issue:

I have recently had both CM7 and Mosaic 8 on my phone. I noticed that with CM7, it gave me a very noticeable haptic feedback experience. On Mosaic, the haptic feedback is noticeably weaker.

"No problem", I thought, and headed to settings to increase the haptic feedback level. It was set at the maximum, though. The bizarre thing is that I moved the slider around and the feedback I got on the maximum level is higher than what I'm getting from hitting the capacitive buttons.

I found this thread, which asked a similar question, but it's been dead for a long time and never received resolution.

I also found another thread about fixing the home haptic (here), but that one deals specifically with restoring the home haptic feedback inside of android.policy.jar.

So I'll ask the question - is there anyone who has figured out a way to truly ramp up the haptic feedback levels, and if so, is it something that the average, non-programming familiar user could accomplish?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I know this but exists in Illuminance as well, I think it's a GB ROM issue. I don't think they actually use the intensity setting, since the feedback while setting the intensity slider never has anything to do with the actual intensity when using the phone. Maybe someone else has something more technical to say about it, but you're definitely not crazy, I have had the same results.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I've been having so many issues w/ data and signal, im just wondering if I put enough pressure is there any way I could get Verizon to give me a different phone?

My phone is close to unusable how often I don't have signal and im just really tired of it..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] knucklesmckay:
Well the update from Moto is suppose to fix this issues, so Verizon may make you wait til you receive the update before looking into swapping a phone for you.

The Restart Connections app from the market doesn't work for you? It works for me about 90% of the time when I lose my signal. Rarely I will have to reboot to get signal back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I haven't tried that, ill try it but they promised me an update by early nov, and they've given me already 2 months of free service. I dont care about getting free service id rather pay instead of the hassle... I was just thinking they might since there highest level of support saying it was a known issue they were responsible for and had moto working on an update. Sucks I paid full retail on launch day and have only had problems..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosit1:
I take it you can only complain to Verizon if you bought the device from them. :(

[Motorola Droid Bionic] knucklesmckay:
Yea Verizon definitely knows of the problems. Its common. Verizon will eventually offer you a new phone but it may not be something you want. If the problem isn't fixed after the update and they persist they will probably offer some better replacements.

I don't really have a big problem with connection but it is there. Some days it doesn't happen at all. Someone on another forum said they received an update from Moto already, so hopefully they start rolling out soon.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I bought mine from best buy lol..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
Verizon told me they started rolling the update dec 1st in batches..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I actually have a new one arriving today. My data loss is horrible. It will show full bars (3g and 4g) but the second I go to do something the data will drop. Extremely frustrating and annoying. I'm pretty sure I'm getting a refurb but if it holds data better I'm ok.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that is the FIRST time I've ever done a warranty replacement in 6 years with Verizon. Wasn't terribly difficult...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tmwes:
If you just got another Bionic, your problems aren't going to go away. I got my warranty replacement last week; same issues.

They did offer me a new phone; anything but the Razr. Considering I not only bought the phone at launch, but bought a couple hundred dollars in accessories...I want the phone to work as advertised; not a new phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cellsitemanager:
Well the week before Thanksgiving I was actually sucessful of having the store giving me an actual off the floor replacement. Up until that time I have taken my phone into 4 different corporate stores in and around Cincinnati and each time The associate looked at the phone and just ordered their "certified like new" replacement shipped to my home. Now I want you all to know these "certified" units were nothing more than returns to VZW from others that are experiencing the same thing. I went out of my way to take the phone into the closest store when I experienced either the loss of data or the BSOD situation.

This time I tried something different which got me a brand new phone..not sure what pushed them over the edge though....On the 23rd of November I got the dead BSOD and immediately took the phone back to the origional store which I purchased it on the 12th of September and cornered my origional salesperson explaining that I have had four replacements...I sternly request for him to correct this problem WITHOUT pulling the battery....The store was moderately heavy with customers who had a ear tuned to my complaint. He was insistant that he had to pull the battery after plugging in a charger...I loudly told him to stop and demanded for customer service to be put on the line because I insisted pulling the battery was going to do nothing more than set me up with a return trip. He told me that all customer service was going to do is issue out another "certified" unit...Loudly I protested that this has to come to an end because all of the screen protectors he had sold me during the origional purchase are now gone and the battery life is degrading fast due to the constantly seeking for data problem. Everybody knows VZW does not ship a new battery or battery door with these "certified" units ( of course). As I would not budge on the "certified" route because my battery and battery door was showing signs of premature wear...the manager stepped in and allowed me to turn in my unit for another right out of the box...printed out a receipt for the return full price and then gave me a new receipt with the same price but with the november date. He told the associate to mark the unit defective screen out of box. Now he didnt allow me to have the new battery or door BUT I got a new unit which I am happy to report has not had a hiccup since...knock on wood. BUT BE FOR WARNED...if you are sucessful at getting a off the floor exchange...check your account because the billing dept of VZW thinks this is a upgrade and will sneak a updated contract date in on your account....It took two calls into customer service to explain to them this was not an upgrade and after they tell you that it has been noted....TAKE THE TIME to check online your contract date is put back to the origional date.

After a little bit of work I am a happy Bionic VZW customer
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CaliTilt:
Have you guys tried the SIM pull trick? My Bionic has not had a data problem since. I did this over a month ago.

1) turn off Bionic and pull SIM

2) power on the bionic and open phone. It will state the SIM is missing.

3)turn off the Bionic and insert SIM

You will need a pair of fine tweezers for this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cixelsyddyslexic:
This won't help if you need the 4G throughput (for hotspot, etc), but my data connection is rock solid on the go if i choose CDMA Only mode under Mobile Networks.

I've taken to changing to LTE Only mode in the field testing interface (##PROGRAM) when I need to use LTE throughput for hotspot, and that, too, is rock solid. The problem seems to occur for me only when it's switching between CDMA and LTE.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Pulling the SIM did nothing for me, unfortunately. I'd demand a new (and different) phone, but I spent about $150 on accessories and don't want to unload those for pennies on FleaBay.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] justin94:
Its all 4g phones. If u want reliable service. Switch back to a 3g only device. After 3 Droid charges, Verizon sent me this bionic. .. still having issues. Just gotta get use to it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosympathy:
False....tbolt for me has never data dropped since being on actual gingerbread radios. Bionic? Even running the leak data dropped like none other.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
Pulling Sim worked at first but its gotten so bad it doesn't work as well anymore. I tried to get vzw to give me a diff phone but they wouldn't budge only offer me a refurb which I don't want after paying 700 full retail plus 150 in accessories.

And no not all 4g, my thunderbolt never gave me connectivity issues..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] justin94:
I've had them all minus the revolution, my wife has my old tbolt now, granted her data drops are extremely Rare.....when they do happen, it takes a while to switch the radio back on
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sir_Eagle:
Can any confirm this? Anyone get it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hoola20055:
Turning off lte helped me. I have too reboot maybe every third day or so now to get back dropped data.every it was 4 or so times a day

yes, thanks very much, i just found that via Google (which is what i should have done before asking here).

but i don't see any obvious setting in there for LTE only mode (and i did search this time :D)

Got a little monetary compensation from Verizon

Today I heard (on another forum) about Verizon data service being yesterday in my region (Metro NY) prior to going absolutely manic yesterday.

I had no data, and first panicked because how can I complain about a problem after I've rooted my phone. But I called Verizon. they ran me thru some b.s.: turn on the wifi. turn off the wifi. reboot. battery pull. change this setting, etc. got 3G back. for a minute. then it failed again. then I called another rep. more tests. I was advised there was some problem with 4G "uptown" (my office is in Manhattan) so if I had 3g I was ok for a while. Then it went out again. So I backed up everything and reflashed. still no data. then I tried a different pak. I finally got 3G, which I still have as of now with no 4G.

so it was great to see other postings about Verizon being the problem, but I went through hoops and anxiety and reflashing and reloading every app... what a pain in the arse!

I just spoke with Verizon, who confirmed the 4G outage. after many pleasantries, I asked to be compensated for the 3 hours of my life wasted on wanking around with my phone and the fact that the 4G generally is not as advertised. The rep waived my $9.99 per month line fee (on my family plan) for 2 months. So sometimes it pays to be a little aggressive with your requests to Verizon (I successfully lobied them for unlimited data on my Bionic when I added the new line for it, as all my family's other 4 phones had unlimited data.)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
The Verizon rep had told me if I didn't wanna wait to get the batch, if you contract motorola directly they'll give you the update.. So he claims, I didn't bother, can't give up my root :p

Is it possible to flash CWM from rom manager for the Photon and if so which model do you select??

I had the bootstrap on my phone which was from the x2, but I'm not sure if CWM will be the same or if Atrix would be better or if I'm barking up the wrong tree lol.

Basically I flashed a theme and now I have no settings so I can't setup my BT, WiFi, or even install an app on my sd card because I can't change any settings. And I can't flash a new rom/theme without the settings.

EDIT: So I flashed the Atrix recovery from rom manager since a google search said you could and then flash another. Once I did and tried to boot into recovery it said "failed to boot 2"
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Do a factory reset through bootstrap. Happened to my buddy last night after applying a theme, he had no settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] agentscuba314:
I restored the bootstrap by using titanium backup when I hit that snag last night

Or if you have an backup, you can take the settings app from it and place it in the system apps
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
LMAO, and why I didn't think of that I have no idea. I've had mybackup pro since I had my Evo over a year ago and use it religiously, until now that is lmao. I just backed it up before I flashed the new theme and didn't even think of that, good looking out guys thanks.

EDIT: Anyone know of another way to flash CWM without using ADB or SDK??

EDIT no. 2: installing from backup didnt work, it prompts me to go to settings because install from unknown sources is blocked and when I try to go to it I get a Force Close.

Is it possible to just put the settings.apk in the right folder with root explorer or something of that naturr?
