video player for mediapad

hello. which video player application on mediapad is able to play properly h264 mpeg4 avc streamed video from internet (zapni.tv)?

it works ok on my pc via vlc player.

i tried already vplayer, realplayer, bsplayer, moboplayer, mxplayer also built-in media player, but no one can play it. absolutely nothing. some program does nothing, another only says that video cannot be played. i have ics4 fw.

please advise.

what are your top applications you are using on mediapad?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
it doesn't work ok for me even on pc with latest vlc. they have quite strange streaming format. it's not really streaming. it just loading new and new files every few seconds... that could be a problem

but anyway, if vlc works for you on pc, then use it on android either

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517415

the one that is Snapdragon S2/S3 → Cortex-A8/NEON
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eugenko:
so i tried vlc on mediapad, and only sound worked.

i was able to see some of those streams in mx player, but had to manually copy the stream link url via clipboard from browser to the player.

the automatic opening from browser doesn;t work - that was the problem.

on pc some videos (from that page) start to work with some delay, these do not work on mediapad.

thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
Well, so that's up to that site. They selected very rare technology for "streaming".

There is a new ICS C170B009 available over the air for original HC C170B012 owners

Speaking about noticeable difference between C170B008 and C232B002 i can say that C170B008 does not lose WiFi while being in standby and battery last much longer in standby.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
Is it b009 or b008?

Since i think b008 is russia only?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
There is C170B008 (released on may 24) and C170B009 (released today, on may 27)

Intended for Russia of course (country code C170), but as i said on previous page in C170B008 they cut number of languages to several main European (Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Ukrainian and Portuguese) and two Chinese packs, added worldwide database of APNs and preinstalled Yandex.Maps. No anything else country-specific.

There is no C170B009 yet over the web to check differences.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 441Excelsior:
when will be released general channel version? does the russian version contain english language? is it rootable?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] supun:
yes Russian version contains English language and it was able fix my 3G issues with my mobile carrier. Also it works like charm.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] zelduy:
Whoah.. do the russian one is included english?? Downloading it!!

Btw.. what sort of 3g problem did you mean?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
Answer is right above your question.

Many users experiencing hard reboot while switching between 2g and 3g. I guess he was talking about this problem.

Speaking of two builds.

C170B008 (at least old one, it was reposted on official site on may 30, so don't know about newer one) has paste bug. It adds lots of spaces in pasted text all around. It was fixed in C170B009. But C170B009, in my opinion, has higher battery usage. WiFi works in both builds, but it appears in G mode only...

C170B008 installer does wipe. So suits more for resetting device.

C170B009 does not, preserving installed apps.

What doesn't work.

- WiFi N mode

- WiFi 5 GHz band

- GLONASS (GPS only)

- FM radio

- ICS spell checker
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
Yeah ... I noticed it doesn't make coffee either.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] norcimo:
Springwork all working data and calls.

I know i'm going to get alot of flak for this..but here it goes.

My company has Tmobile and Blackberries. I have a blackberry curve with data and calls.

Purchased a springboard on ebay. updated to ICS 4.0.3 (international version) found in the dev section.

then I rooted it, according to the instructions in the DEV section.

I downloaded the huawei mediapadphone application, I installed it.

I put the tmobile sim in the unit. I made a phone call. I recieved a call. I made a text msg, I got a reply. I launched the browser, and got Google, I put in a search criteria, and I got results. the attn strengh meter on the bottom says 3G.

i have internet and I can make calls.

honest to goodness truth.

This is all that happened.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] v35lee:
That would be good news. Just to confirm - your wifi was turned off or otherwise not connected when you accessed the internet?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] norcimo:
I shut down the Wifi, and the 3g icon int he antenna signal area came on.

went to google and made a search.. Mo issues.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
On the international 4.0.3 flashed to the Springboard, you report that it says "3G". Are the speeds any slower than what they are on T-Mobile HSPA+ with the same device? (International firmwares are not configured to use the faux "4G", so the question is whether the speeds are still there.)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eugenko:
sorry for this question, but how can i copy some files via usb cable from my windows 7 computer to mediapad with ics?

i managed to mount some cd drive (via usb) with HISUITE application, which i installed and it offers some contacts, messages, but no file transfer.

i tried also another usb modes in mediapad, but no luck...

i do not see any option to enable usb mass storage in mediapad...

i have no root.

thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
You really need root to be able to get this done or you can pull the memory card out and just copy the files directly to it when you have it attached to the Win7 machine and then pop it back in the tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
You can copy files only via MTP (Media Transfer Protocol), which is used by HiSuite. There is no support for MSC (Mass Storage Class) because inner memory has ext4 partition format.

If you want to use MTP via explorer you need to install drivers from virtual CD and turn on MTP in Settings - Storage/Memory - Menu - USB connection.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MarSoftware:
This is not true.

You can enable MTP mode (Settings - Memory - ... - USB connection), and then device must appear in windows explorer. This requires Windows Mediaplayer installed though, because it is not a standard 'USB memory device' protocol but a protocol used firstly for media player devices. Or you may use some software like TotalCommander with corresponding plugin. And this approach doesn't require root.

Rkwhyte2, is it possible (with root) to connect our device as a USB stick (usb memory device)?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] ransz28:
I have read a lot (no not all 113 pages) and if I understand correctly...

Rooting this device we will loose the HSPA+ speed? I would like to root, then go to ICS but I really need the full possible download speeds that is available.

Thank you everyone
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
I stand corrected it does indeed work when you enable MTP.

The device never acts as a USB stick.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

I have read various statements on this. What I have seen is that I get the same speeds or perhaps a little better that I get with my G2/Desire Z phone.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Prebronzer:
I had problem after root, my mediapad can not move apps to SD card with the link2SD. I see the note “Install faled insuffificient storage” .

Hi, is there way to add to our mediapad face unlock? I am using last official ICS build with root.

Thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] danisukses:
yes...you can just install the apk named "facelock". you can find it at approb.

I have also Huawei MediaPad and same problem, after alal i try hard reset, work couple days fine and again more random shutdown. Need help!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] odieses:
I have a t-mobile spring board. I only have a usb charging device and it wont start up past the android start up screen. Do i need to get a new wall charger for it to power up past the android screen or is this another problem?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
In my experience the Springboard will trickle charge on micro USB. If you leave it plugged in overnight the battery should be charged completely in the morning. Not sure what else could be wrong. Try holding the power button for 10 seconds after overnight charging to force a hard reboot.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] odieses:
i hold it down and it gets to the android screen, but it doesnt go farther then that and it shuts back down. It never really boots up fully. is this charging or is my tablet done for?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
Were you hacking your tablet before this happened?

Why don't you have a charger... did you lose it?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] odieses:
I just have the jack to USB charger. As far as hacking goes I'm not computer literate enough to do any of that.

After charging it the the USB for a while it just turns on randomly and turns off at the android screen. I had problems before with it randomly turning off and on but now it won't even load.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cmstlist:
But the proper power cable comes in the box when you buy it... did you get it second hand and the seller lost the cable?

Maybe T-Mo can sell you a spare charge cable if you're in the USA.

It could be that the tablet cannot accept USB charge when it's not already turned on. I haven't tested that.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] odieses:
talked to tmobile and called the manufacturer and from what customer service was telling me it was power cycling(not sure what that means) and we did a hard reset holding the power and volume button but it didnt work. Ill have to go back down to tmobile and see if its still under warranty. Maybe i can get it replaced.

thanks for your responses. It seems like my tablet is screwed from what the customer service was telling me.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
If your battery is near zero it will not get enough of a charge from a USB connection. Get a charger that you can plug the cable into and you will get a good charge.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] tedbone:
*BUMP*

Athough, I think what you're asking for is a highly unlikely possibility, but I am going to call T-Mo customer support this week and see if there's any way to get the factory ROM installed (even if I have to send it in). The T-Mo stores are completely useless in this field (surprise).

I really want 4G back, and stability to the tablet. The only gain I got form unlocking/root was ad blocker. I don't have the time and patience to tinker with it everyday to find the sweet spot.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] luvduchovny:
I looked at the TMobile site and they didn't list the power adapter that should have come with your springboard. You may have to resort to Amazon:

http://amzn.com/B007IW74ES

Although this one is about $6 cheaper:

http://amzn.com/B007P4ZUS6

Good luck!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] rkwhyte2:
While I can't say what speeds you are getting for me the speeds have remained as they should. I'm still getting 4G speeds the only thing I lost was the fact that it said 4G and truth be told that doesn't matter to me. Before you call TMo remember that when you rooted the device you voided the warranty.

nls_utf8.ko and cifs.ko

Hi,

since the source for the kernel has already been released, can anyone compile these two kernel modules?

nls_utf8.ko

cifs.ko

I do not have the expertize to do it myself.....

Can anyone compile these two files? Or do you know anyone who has these two files? I have searched the whole web and no success...

Thanks a lot.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] 5huhulalu:
I have just found out that the support for CIFS is directly included in the new kernel, so the modules are not necessary. Good job, Huawei!

What is CIFS good for? It allows you to mount remote shares (SMB) on your device. If you have NAS at home, I recommend to use CifsManager or Mount Manager to mount your shared drives directly to the device.

Why didn't anyone mention that tmobile has OTA update of ICS 4.0.3? That update btw works flawlessly without any hickups and all apps - kindle, adobe and what have you, they all work without any problem. And why can't one of you guys with ICS international rom just back-up the files and apk that I need to replace in the tmobile ics? wouldn't that work?

[Help needed] Cannot receive calls on Rooted Tmobile springboard

Hi XDA,

1st post. Must acknowledge and appreciate the community for all the awesome you give to mobile devices. Big fan.

Short version. Bought a T-mobile springboard to replace my hard-bricked (even JTAG failed) galaxy s2 T989. Rooted it to CM10.1[03.09.2013] rom from developer side (Great ROM, positively loving it). Plugged in my prepaid $30 5GB 4G data +100 min SIM card and the following happened.

expected: Data not working (or working uselessly), sends and receives SMS, makes outgoing phone calls

unexpected: Cannot receive incoming phone calls. Would really like to have at least this one solved so people can reach me on my phone number.

So far I've checked APN settings to recommended values for t-mobile US, checked that it picks up T-mobile in networks, and i've searched forums for a case like this and found little help.

Thanks in advance

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] [BY]onicS:
New ROM B020

http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDEwOTA=

just click at the red button.. ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
Just downloaded and installed C233B020 ROM. It starts in chinese, but is multilanguage.

Response and performance seems to be good, comparable to ICS Testbuild, WiFi works, Video playback is fine.

But it has one big drawback: No Google Apps installed, means no google sync, no market.

Hopefully a version with gapps will be released soon, improvement from c233b012 is noticable!

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Does anyone have an idea, if it is possible to integrate the google apps from goo-inside.me/gapps into the ROM, similar to integrating su functionality?

If you've flashed modified boot.img (bbs.31pad.com/thread-2-1-1.html) or replaced it in firmware - in update.zip then just apply update - like root one (115.com/file/dno84m3o)

by the way after installing googleapps there appears a bug - browser crashes when you choose settings.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] stinger32:

My chinese sucks and translate doesnt do a good job at all. I wish someone could write a guide and gather all the needed files at one place
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klaus.at:
Thanks for info.

If I understand you correct, I download the 115.com/file/dno84m3o file and put it inside the update.zip, replacing an existing one, and then reflash and have root and google apps?

Or is this just root?

Too bad sanix doesn't post on xda, he seems to be doing a lot of research and development on the mediapad, but google-translating between chinese and english is rather cumbersome and errorprone.

Maybe a dedicated forum could help to have all info in one place, afaik there is work done and feedback given on 31pad.com (chinese), androidiani.com (italian) and android-hilfe.de (german), but no place except this poor little thread where the international community can work together (in english).
