Trying to find the best MKV Player for Android, paid or free, doesn't matter. I am currently using MX Player but the volume is pretty low even using Volume+

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RMatt1992:
I've found DICE Player to be the best, I've yet to have an issue on my smartphone or tablet with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carne_Asada_Fries:
I second this as Dice Player played a 4 gb mkv pretty well on my phone. You can always download the trial first as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
yeah when i was on my Rezound i found that both Dice & MX were the best(& only 2 at the time that could handle 720P).

oddly though, i can't seem to get 720P (ac3) .mkv files to play on my Nexus with any app... well, if i'm lucky, MX will decide to randomly pick one and play it in 'software mode'... but refuses to play in hardware mode period.

i hope there's a fix for this soon.

Tron works in 720p with all modes, but smooth in hardware. Looks PHENOMENAL.

I’ve been searching for a tool that can do that job. Although there are lots of MKV converters in the market, which one to choose is a big headache, because most of these programs have problems one or another like video, audio out of sync, quality loss… Well, Brorsoft Video Converter is a powerful MKV to MP4 converter which can fast convert MKV to MP4 with high quality.

Hi,

I got a new Sony Ericssion Xperia Arc from UK with one of the mobile network provider there.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] noonas:
I have looked around and cold not see an answer (maybe I am blind?)

I have the HTC Tilt (Not AT&T branded), with Nordic Keyboard.

I have flashed the BootLoader and am now running the ultimate droid Android on Froyo. It's awesome, but the physical keyboard mappings are incorrect, and it's driving me nuts ..

In the BootLoader flash I made sure that the keyboard setting was set to nordic (even opened the file in hex-edit), flashed it twice.

ANyone know how why this is not working?> is it froyo related>?:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Millence:
I's kernel related.

Use atools to change physical keyboard mappings.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] noonas:
I have tried this, and even though I select Nordic layout and save, check the NBH file with hexeditor (it's set to nordic) it still does not map.

I am using Froyou Kernel..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Derduden:
kernel related or?

I just tested this yesterday and I believe there seems to be some kind of bug because I am experiencing the same difficulty as the creator of this thread.

I choose nordic in Atools and create my nbh file but it simply doesn't turn out to be nordic whenever I use æøå (special characters)

I read another old thread (2009) about somebody changing the physical keyboard mapping by editing the file

"/system/usr/qwerty.kl"

so that it would fit the specific layout of that phone, but seeing the comment above and using Atools don't seem to match up with the way this thread was dealing with the problem.

But my question is what to do now? I would very much appreciate some kind of way to solve the problem without having to hold down the a-button to get a å or the o-button to get a ø and so on.

Is this something that can be solved by editing some system files, then I am all ready to dig in.

Thankyou :)

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

I checked my nbh file and it shows up with the correct number "2" for nordic in the hexeditor and just as supposed this grants me "nordic" keyboard except I can't use any special characters.

Most of the keyboard is correct including all the alt-keys, but I am still missing æøå which has been my problem all along..

Maybe it isn't an issue with the kernel but has to do with the specific flavor of Android that I am running?

I am running: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 [Deodexed] [RLS15] [9/3/10] with "module update" via "atools"

I will test other flavors as of now.

Fat Free Froyo [ALL LANG-ODEX] 11/10 has exactly the same issues. I don't think this has to do with this.

If someone could guide me, please..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
Firstly, is it "truly" a Nordic keyboard we're talking about here, or is it a Tilt with the letters changed?

The one thing you haven't stated is if you have tried the "system_froyo_odex_all" file from SourceForge, as this would have the correct fonts already installed in the build.

If the keyboard is a normal Tilt keyboard, select "Tilt" in ATools and set the phone up as "Nordic" under "Settings/Language & Keyboard/Select Language". This may be all you'll have to do.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Derduden:
Okay well my bad I guess I will try it out in just a minute.

This is my exact keyboard:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=469028

I don't believe that is a "Tilt"-keyboard, but I might be mistaken.

Thank you for your answer by the way :)

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

I actually don't know how to find this "system_froyo_odex_all" on SourgeForge, but I don't see how that would help since I am having no problem including æøå as long as I hold the button corresponding the specific letter and select it on-screen. Then the letters are just fine.

I would just like my keyboard to be able to bring these letters by itself, but it doesn't matter what key-combination that does the trick.

I have been looking into hex-editing some of the files in "/system/usr/keychars/" but they don't correspond to what the keyboard actually brings.

I don't think my Android use the "/system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kcm.bin" that I've found in the builds that I mentioned before, but I might be missing something.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PoXFreak:
Editing the keychars file might be the only way to do it then. There are some differences I noted between your keyboard and mine and, to be honest, I haven't physically seen any other keyboard in the US other than the Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Derduden:
Yeah I believe it's the only way to do it, but I just don't understand how to do this, since the file is nothing like the actual keyboard, but maybe you know if it's using a default layout from somewhere else in the system? Or maybe I'd be able to link it to a new char file instead?

In the market for new tv. Is there a big difference between a 1080p and 720p tv? is it worth the price difference?

Thanks for your help

From the bad ass Note
[HTC EVO 3D] xeper:
Where in the world are you that you can still find 720p sets for sale? Are they on the same shelves as the CRT TVs?
[HTC EVO 3D] akiradavis:
Best Buy is selling a 720P Dynex TV for 249.99. I have had my fair share of HD TVs and I must say anything over 32'', 1080P is preferred. 32'' and below, you won't notice the difference between 720P and 1080P. Again, my own opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
it depends on a few variables. How far away will you be sitting? How big is the screen?

I have a 62" 1080p in my bedroom. It is a large bedroom and my bed is about 14 foot from the screen. I like the extra resolution at that distance.

I have a 50" 720p in my living room. my couch is only 10 foot from the screen. It is fine at that distance. If I push my Couch back to where it would be closer 12 foot away though, not as good.

I say a 720 is fine on 50 our less as long as you aren't sitting too far away.

But it also depends on how much difference in cost you are talking. A few years ago there was several hundred difference between the two. Now I think the gap has closed.

I would opt for the 1080, but the 720 wouldn't be out of the question.
[HTC EVO 3D] sprintuser1977:

[HTC EVO 3D] Bear gri11z:
I bought a 42 inch insignia brand 720p plasama for 185 on black Friday

I only use it for my xbox 360 ... It really all depends on what it will be used for... And most things upscale to HD.but that is a whole other topic/debate
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
Personally i dont see a difference in a tv thats 32" or smaller.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Everyone has hit it right on. 32 inches and less no user discernable difference between 720p and 1080p. Larger than 32 inches I would not get a 720p, however there are not many available anymore.

Also to consider is the source.

Blue Ray is 1080p

HDTV depends on the service (satellite, cable, etc.) but most TV is either 1080i or 720p and from what I've been told the way 1080i scales on a 1080p tv it is no better than 720p.

Also, different carriers compress their signal more or less. My experience has been that Time Warner really compresses theirs and so HD on Time Warner Cable looks like crap. I have Dish Network and it is great. Some Prefer Direct TV, but I have always thought my Dish Network service is the sharpest.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cetus Corr:
I was going to say that most only see true 1080p from blu - ray. But want to add that netflix only streams 720p.

[HTC EVO 3D] dougstoner:
Just as everyone has said, it really depends on what you are connecting to it. I know what you are talking about, and right now, you can get a steal of a deal for a 50" plasma 720p for like 6ooish. Who is your cable provider? Do you have HD setup? Do you have a blu-ray player? Are you connecting a ps3/xbox to it? Personally, I would rather have 1080. It's not that much more price wise. You can get a 51" samsung 1080p for 899.

Even the 3d TV's are dropping in price too. Look around at Brandsmart, Hhgregg, tigerdirect.com, newegg.com, and microcenter.com. Some of the best prices I've found. I'm in the market for a 50" 3d tv, but haven't found the one just yet.

Well I have a 1080i because when I bought it 1080p was just comming out. Even then I wouldn't want a 720p over a 1080i. Bigger numbers are better. Like stated already with the small price difference why would u want 720 over 1080 anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
It's really 720p for 40" or lower. But viewing distance means a lot.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
This. + 1

...
[HTC EVO 3D] sprecker:
Unless you are using a CRT 1080i is not as sharpas 720p FYi. 1080i is interpolated from 2 560p images. CRTs are designed for interpolation and LCD's/Plasmas are designed for progressive "i" vs "p". So on an LCD/Plasma you are going to lose quality. So in the case of HD screens bigger #'s don't always mean better. Also refresh rates and contrast ratio are other factors you need to look into. The bigger the Hz the better, the smaller the Ms the better and the bigger the contrast ratio the better.

If you never saw a movie 1080p and ony ever saw moveis in 720p you wouldn't know you were missing anything. If you aren't bothered by the fact that you will know there is better out there and the movie you are watching can look better, then 720p will be the better choice. If that will eat away at you whenever you watch a movie then get a 1080p because you will end up with one anyway.

My $0.02.

Cheers.

[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Man you wont notice the difference as long as your hdmi cords are 1.3 certified or better. Then only way you will notice is if your watching a bluray. Then color.depth plays a roll. A lot of consumers have the thinking that because a tv says 1080p or 720p that they will watch all things viewed on the tv at 1080p or 720p. That's far from true. Even of you buy the top of the line pioneer for like 10 grand unless your watching nothing but blurays or playing ps3 your still going to be watching 720p. No cable provider/satellite delivers picture in 1080p. Time warner,com cast,at&t etc all deliver there cable content in 720p/1080i which there's no real picture difference between the two. Unless your tv is dlp,or plasma. With lcd it doesn't matter. Plasma suffers from img burn and lcd's typically have a 4 to 7 year life span. And dlp are like forever lasting because you can just change the blub when the color starts to fade. Anyways sorry for the rambling but my point is this. While 1080p is nice for blurays and ps3 content "which I highly recommend" its really the only time you will use it unless your a movie buff. If not then even if you buy a 1080p tv and watch cable 99% of the time your watching 720p/1080i. Which brings up my next point,cables. Never skip on the cables. I recommend monster the 700series or better. Then you can be sure that at least your getting the best 720p for your money. Then important thing is response/refresh rate 60 or 120Hz. For 42 and under 60 is fine anything over 120hz is a must. This effects motion playback like with high speed car chases or sports games. A good way to tell if a tv has a good response/refresh rate is to have the salesmen turn on sports. You can see the pixlel's trying to catch up with the actual picture on a tv with a bad refresh rate. On a good one it will be smooth as butter. So if you can save a few bucks you don't need the 1080p if you have it to spend I say do it. Hope this helps.

I agree with a lot of what people have had to say but a lot of people forgot to mention if ur getting plasma, lcd or led. There is a large price change btwn those as well. Like people said before its all about viewing distance and what u are doing the most. I watch a lot if hd tv, blurays and play xbox so I got a led tv.

I have a 60 in and I'm only 6-7 feet away from my tv in my room. I had a but of extra cash so i made the purchase. U should take all that into consideration before u make ur purchase.

Don't waste your time or money with 720p. You'll be buying something at pretty much the end of its life.

Get 1080p, It's much better and you can definitely tell the quality difference. At least I can.

I download most, if not all, of my shows in 720p and notice on my 55" 1080p TV.

Future proof yourself just a little with a nice 1080p set, especially if you plan to watch Blu-Ray movies.
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
Someone said 1080 is better for greater distance. That is wrong. The difference is less noticeable with greater distance.

Someone mentioned about frame rate in Hz. Disregard anything over 120. Over 120 just means the back light is flashing more. So for '240 Hz', the frame is changing at either 60 or 120 and the backlight is flashing at 240 Hz. It's upselling

Someone mentioned about hdmi 1.x or better. That is all bs china sellers upselling their products. The hdmi governing body uses no such rating system.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Do not waste money on high end, expensive HDMI cables. Any 1.3 hdmi cable regardless of price works the same. This has been proven over and over again. My HDMI cables are all 1.3 and cost $1-2 a peice. Many reputable news sources such as CNET.com has proven this. You do need to make sure they are the correct HDMI standard (like 1.3).

Depends what you're gonna do... Comcast/Direct tv doesnt even have true 1080p on hardly any channels... And the ones they do you pay out the butt to get, and if you're paying that much for TV stations you shouldn't even be asking... Most "HD" channels are 720p-1080i... 720p looks better then 1080i (whole nother issue) thats why they can say they have over 100 1080 channels is they dont specify i or p... confusing but they dont sell 1080i anymore so dont even worry about that

All you need to know is unless you have a Blu-Ray Player, PS3 or XBOX 360 you

DONT

need 1080p. regardless of size. as far as size goes you really wont notice a difference in anything smaller then 32" but since your going 42" that doesnt matter either.

Now for a different point of view, Do you really want to go 720p when everything is going 1080p? a 720p tv will become obsolete very soon... With Movie theaters already doing 4320p and the biggest flat screen being 80" this year (that best buy stocks for anyone but the insanly rich who can get like a 120" or bigger") I wouldn't be supprised to see 2160p in the near future.

So spend 250 now for a cheap TV. then 250 in 2 years again for a 1080... or 400 ish now...

If it were me id get a cheap 720p now (unless its for gaming) and spend more on a nicer one next year... You gotta think black friday prices this year are regular prices next spring/summer and best buy had a 40" 1080p fir $200 on black friday...

Speaking from what i know working 3 years at bestbuy

I have a 720p 50" plasma in my living room. Love it. I also have a 720p 32" LCD in the bedroom. Love it also. Both are a Samsung.

The only time you'll use 1080p is with Bluray or gaming. Most cable companies still broadcast in 720p.
[HTC EVO 3D] dougstoner:
Was just curious why you say plasma blows? I've been told that by many people, but was just not sure why they say so. I thought plasma gave you the best color/contrast ratio? I'm in the market as well, and the more info, the better. I'd really like to get a 3d LED, but they are pretty pricy right now. Well, more so than the plasma's.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Contrary to the old belief, plasmas are actually quite nice and do provide better viewing angles, brightness, and contrast. None of the issues that plagued early plasma sets exist in today's current generation. Even though I prefer LCD for its weight and thinness, there is absolutely nothing wrong with plasma TVs.

Yup Yup was about to chime in on that. I bought my pioneer plasma about 6yrs ago and its still kicking strong and does everything I need it too. 1080p and all that. Personally when I buy a tv for main viewing room I get one of the top ones so you know it'll last your needs.

Love the deep blacks and viewing angles.

I have to agree with the above post's I did tons of research and most home theatre enthusiast say Plasma > then LCD. Now LED's have overcome alot of LCD's shortcomings even chalenge if not beat Plasma in Dark(Contrast).

I have a 50" 1080p in my living room and a 50" 720p in my bedroom and at the 14 foot viewing distance there is no noticable differnece even watching blu-rays on them.

I would suggest taking a trip over to AVSforum.com they are the experts over there and can even tell you the exact distance to screen size that you can see the pixel differnece from 1080p to 720p. I had downloaded a spreadsheet someone created from there that actually even factors in your eye sight (ie: 20/20, or 20/60).
