Hi

I've tried copying .mp3 files to the Nexus and they work fine, end up in the music section of the phone as expected. I've even put photos on the phone, but I can't put video files.

When I plug my phone into the computer I proceed to move my .wmv files onto the phone into the 'movies' folder, but I cant find it on the phone. I've tried putting my files into the 'pictures' folder etc but still nothing.

However when I go to settings>storage I can see that my video file on the phone is actually there as my total available memory will decrease.

How do I import and play .wmv and other video files on this phone? I've searched a few threads but nothing directly answers this that I could find.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 83mck:
That isn't right, someone want to give some detail on this? Haven't tried it yet but it would be good to know. Maybe the Nexus doesn't accept .WMV.

The W in WMV stands for Windows, just a little hint as to why it may not be supported in Android. That doesn't mean a codec for Android (ICS) isn't available.

Ah, buyers remorse is just setting in. I'm selling my Evo 4g and going to LED'er pastures. The Evo was my first smartphone, first android phone, first rooting experience. I'm going to miss it greatly.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this great sub-forum of XDA. Virus, Myn, Mik, Kush, I doubt you guys read the general forums, but each of you had a ROM that I swore by, after the holidays I hope to finally send each of you guys a donation (albeit a poor college student sized one).

*sniff* god, I'm going to miss this phone :(
[EVO 4G General] LyndenP:
Cool story bro.

Boo
[EVO 4G General] Indirect:
I bought a Nexus S as well since it's more dev friendly and I dont regret it either. I do like my evo but it got kind of bland and all the problems I was having with the hardware on it, made me want to cry. >.<
[EVO 4G General] Fataldesain:
You made the right choice my friend. Got this for my girlfriend and man my epic touch is jealous. Pure ICS nothing beats it right now. And phone runs pretty well.
[EVO 4G General] Lacedaemon:
Why not Galaxy Nexus? :eek:
[EVO 4G General] OmahaPaul402:
Just switched to the NS4G as well. Had an upgrade burning a hole in my pocket and Sprint had them online for free. It's a great phone, but I'm not certain I'll be keeping it. ICS is cool and all, but does it really matter when I'm stuck on 1x all the time? Who knows, still have a week to try. May end up returning for the EpicTouch.

Couldn't give up the EVO though, I'll just use it as a wifi PMP. Just flashed MikG 3.0
[EVO 4G General] Nick N:
Wife is getting the iPhone for Christmas, may have to trade her Evo for a NS4G to play with when I get burned out on the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] thunder2132:
I'd love to, but I don't have an upgrade, my traded my Evo in at Best Buy (Buy Back rules) and then sold the gift card online and used that money for the Nexus.

Not quite in that order...I still have the Evo and am trading it in tomorrow.
[EVO 4G General] jeeplj8:
Did you flash ICS to the NS4G?

I thought the Galaxy Nexus was at least 3 months away for Sprint...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
a warning to you folks. the OEM vehicle dock "DOES NOT" properly fit the Sprint Epic touch.

the 4 corners of the cradle DO NOT engage the phone at all. the phone simple "squeezes" between them. without even engaging the suction cup just sitting it on a desk I was able to disengage the phone with 2 fingers. IE the first bump you hit the phone is coming out.

the only thing holding it in is the USB Socket which is precisely what you do NOT want (force acting on that socket)

Also the usb socket will not engage the phone (it seems the sprint SII is a hair "thicker" than the infuse?) you have to PUSH UP from the backside of the dock to "lift" the dock connector just enough to allow it to engage the phones usb socket.

this screams bad news to me.

it truly is a gorgeous dock. I WANT it badly but alas I have to send it back I won't trust my very expensive phone to it.

Here is a video showing the issues. I REALLY hope they make a proper dock for this phone it needs one badly. I HAD those generic docks so much they are flat out ugly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct4TuPJayHQ

the seller on ebay was very cool no problem letting me send it back for a full refund. (doing that tomorrow)

I really wish I could keep it. while I would LOSE the "dock" functionality the cradle could VERY easily be modified to securely hold the phone.

but this dock is too expensive to trash its internals to do this at $29.

$10 dock I would hack it up it in a heartbeat.

any found a "proper" designed for epic touch car cradle yet? prefer a uni 4 point connector style (I have a mount right on my steering wheel)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] latinmaxima:
The OEM car dock odds what you need. It works perfect. Stop wasting time with stuff made for a different phone.

Dicho por el E4GT de Latinmaxima con Tapatalk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
well it was advertised as FOR the epic touch 4g. clearly its not :-)

gonna stalk an AT&T store tomorrow and see if I get luck for a cheap one to mod.

save up enough to buy the official epic touch one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anastrophe:
that's not the infuse vehicle dock that ATT was selling. i bought one direct from ATT when it was on sale for $18.00, and it is nearly identical to the genuine E4GT dock. ATT seems to have gotten smart and jacked the price up - you can't even find the infuse dock on their site, but now you can find an overpriced galaxy SII dock. the infuse is available on amazon, but it's more expensive than the genuine dock.

this is what it looks like:

http://amzn.com/B004WOBMIY

and this is the genuine dock:

http://amzn.com/B005LBEG80

so you're better off just buying the real thing.

i've been using mine for a month now, about three hours of daily driving, it's never popped out or come loose.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Poetik:
Yea, I got the same dock from at&t and it looks different from the OP's. I'm not sure if he modded it to make it longer but if that's the way it came then it definitely isn't the one that was offered for under $20 from the at&t deal.

I use mine on trips consisting of more than 30+ minutes and it has never fallen out of place. Not to mention my car has a stiffer suspension with coilovers so it's more susceptible to falling out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
well I drive a 94 Geo metro Xfi.

it don't get much more rough than that :-) hehe

but its worth it for the 60mpg
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nobrakes:
Been using an infuse dock for about 2 months now and my phone fits fine. Yes there are gaps in the corners because the e4gt has more rounded corners than the infuse but it is secure. Btw the seller you bought it from must have swap the base because the oem comes with a fixed arm not a gooseneck. Goosenecks shake more while fixed arms don't.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
nono the goosneck is mine that is not what came with it

I have no idea if this is the AT&T dock or not I got it from ebay as an infuse oem dock advertised as comp with epic touch 4g. its not.

just giving people heads up if they find the same thing :-)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Clean your desk. :-P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] StillFunkyB:
OP, I think you got something different than the ATT Infuse Dock.

The one I have from ATT fits the phone nicely, and while it's not perfect, I have not had the phone pop out that easily.

Glad the person on eBay is letting you return it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I will sure find out tomorrow.

My local AT&T has one and its $17 he is holding it for me.

at $17 I am willing to hack it up a bit. I will do a side by side before sending the one I got on ebay back.

the one I got flat out does not fit. its a friction fit only (watch the video remember that goosneck is mine did not come with the dock)

ie nothing actually "holds" the phone save the usb jack which is exactly what you don't want. ONE slip one accident and your in trouble :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beethoven9th:
Hi guys, I just received a brand new Galaxy Note this morning from a 3rd party seller on Amazon. I have a quick question though. I'm kinda picky about getting factory sealed devices, and this was supposedly a new Note. But when I opened the UPS package and took out the box, there were seals on the top and bottom. Everything looked OK, but upon further inspection the top seal had actually been broken (and the box opened, I assume), and then a second seal was placed over the broken first one to give the appearance of a factory sealed device.

I called the seller, and he claimed that the distributor whom he got the Note from opened the box for whatever reason (I'm still unclear as to why) and then resealed it with a second sticker placed over the first. Personally, I've never heard of this being done to a factory sealed device, but then again, what do I know?

The Note does appear new, but the guy's story just seemed kinda weird to me. Does his explanation hold water with you guys?

Thanks in advance, and take care.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hausman:
I would be suspicious...but that's my nature. Be sure the IMEI under the battery matches that on the box. If there's a talk time indicator that can't be reset, be sure the phone hasn't been used. It could be a previous customer return, etc. Who is the 3rd party seller? You may want to mention it to Amazon. "Legit" reason or not for opening it, new in box means new in box, not opened between Samsung and your house.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
:( Call up the distributor and ask him........

Or get it replaced if you can........A sealed device should come sealed and there is no reason whatsoever for the distributor/seller to open the device.

Btw, I can relate to being picky about sealed devices......When I had went to the mobile shop to go get a Droid Razr , the guy told me the shop only had the display model available for sale - rest were all sold out.I got the Note-which came sealed , thankfully !:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uwengdori:
nothing picky man. u spent money to buy a product and u deserve a right as a customer to be the first one to have ur hands on it, not someone who would replace the seal. check the talk time as the advice given above, and if you don't feel good abt it, get it replaced.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
+1 on getting it replaced. You bought a new unopened device. The seal means just that. Return at expense of the company for not complying. its assumed you'd get a new device for the price.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxh:
What kind of charger did it come with? Is it U.S.? (Your profile doesn't show your location...) If so, they may have opened it to put the charger in, as no Notes come with U.S. chargers since it hasn't been released here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inurb:
OP I ordered from amazon from oem shop and my phone box had the samsung seal already opened, however there was another orange seal on top of it. So it looks like they were opened at some point and then the reseller put another seal sticker on top of the original one.

I have no issues with my note so I'm not worried about it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprintuser1977:
Same with mine. Done to check out product to ensure all pieces are there and work etc. No big deal imo but to each his own
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaclolz:
same here the orange seal still shows a samung seal and when the orange top layer on the seal is disturbed or removed a watermark showing VOID appears i believe they do this as to place the converter for the euro charger to american in the box but mines workin fine cept for heating up a bit :P
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Got mine from "Global Mobiles" (Prime shipping overnight) and my seals were both in-tact.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjevel:
A lot of distributors does this.

Either to add stuff to the package, to upgrade software or add configuration / special firmware.

If you check your warranty and that shows the correct start date, I'd just ignore the sticker.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deymayor:
I'd send it back. New should be sealed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Mine was sealed but had a USA adapter for the German plug in the amazon box (not in the sealed Note box).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beethoven9th:
Thanks to everyone!

Thanks to everyone who responded. I ended up sending my Note back at the seller's expense, and now I'm waiting for my refund once it's delivered. I had felt uncomfortable with the transaction because the seller kept giving me unusual answers to simple questions.

Anyway, it all worked out for the best (assuming my refund goes through) because I ended up getting a Note on eBay for $629! :D

Thanks again, guys, and Happy Holidays.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Upon reading this thread I rechecked my box, bought from OEM Shop, it indeed has a second seal, I guess to put in the wall plug converter. I'm not worried, since myphone works fine. It's probably smarter if they included the converter from the outside.

I even feel less secured buying from eBay since most of them are opened box unless explicitly stated as sealed.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhigh:
Weird my box only had one seal period. the other side of the box didn't have a broken seal or a seal at all. Mine came from l2d2 and had the usa adapter in the box.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kipue:
I think that the first place to check if the device is really new or not is the battery connectors.

The battery side of those is often mate color and gets a bit shinier after insertion and rubbing with the main unit pins.

I guess this would be a good tell-tale of weither it s been turned on before or not.

I buy all my phones on the grey market here in China/Hong Kong, and this is the first place I check.

Also not sure about the note (will get one soon :)), but the bottom of the SGS2, for example is shinny plastic that gets little scratches VERY easily, also could be a place to check :)

Hope this will help a little!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PurpleMelbourne:
I bought my GNote from an Australian online seller after seeing a post on XDA about it being the worlds best price at $630 with post. Shopping Square. From Sydney it should take 2 days post (Aus Post is worlds fastest 80% of the time).

The site said it might take anything up to 10 days. It took 12 and came from Hong Kong with a German manual, european power supply and Australian converter plug.

The screen when loading the Market shows light and dark patches of gray. The box had both seals broken. I suspect its a used warranty return. If i had known then i would have kept my money to buy a definately new one for more or definately second hand for less. Aside from the suspicious uneven gray i cant see screen problems at any other times.

The site doesnt explicitely say the product is new. But phone shops selling new phones dont say that either. I will just have to love it how it is. Fast and getting faster when i fix software problems ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beethoven9th:
OEM Shop seems like a good seller. I saw their listing and specifically asked them if the Note was factory sealed. They answered with an honest 'No' and stated that the seals are broken although the phones are still brand new, never been used. I appreciated the honest reply.

But the seller I ended up going through told me that their Note was indeed factory sealed, yet when I received it, the box had been opened (re: my original post). Chances are, the phone was probably OK, but I just don't like being told something that's less-than-true, especially when I'm throwing down this much money.

Anyway, I have since received my Note from the eBay seller, and I was happy to find that this Note was in fact factory sealed. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hindle1225:
Before I got this charge I ran nothing but HTC phones on tmobile. while being plugged into car charger and using gps the battery level goes down fast. It doesn't maintain the charge or add to it while navigating. Is this a samsung thing? Any remedies?
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
That cannot be right. Make sure your car charger, when it charges your phone, is pulling AC instead of USB.

I use a Monoprice 2A USB charger with an OEM USB cable. Charges extremely slowly or just stays level, but never drains.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
With GPS on, you barely Charge with that charger? I know its limited by the kernel at 800mA or so, but damn, that should charge you up fine.

I rock GPS in the car all the time and I still Charge pretty quickly...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
All depends on what you're running at that time-4G, cell and GPS reception, etc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] adrialk:
Make sure you are using a high amp charger. I like the one from Motorola.

Even so, with 4g and the screen on - the phone charges slowly. Turn the screen off and it charges much quicker.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddelong22:
If you're like me and your screen keeps flipping/inverting on your note using a ROM with a CRT on/off animation, than you can use any launcher that adjusts the orientation of the phone automatically to fix as long as you don't have a security lock on your home screen. It worked fine using launchers such as ADW Ex, SPD Shell, and a few others I tried. All you have to do is flip the phone sideways and wait for it to fix. This is holding me over till a fix is presented.

So I was heading to the Verizon store to swap my GN out for a replacement (earpiece speaker buzz), and decided to be thorough and wipe my phone clean. I hopped in the car, started the factory reset, and went on my merry way. By the time I got out of the car, the reset was just finishing and I saw the phone reboot, but it now had the unlocked symbol on the splash screen.

I left it powered on and tossed it in the box because I didn't want to give the rep any reason to investigate and possibly void my warranty, but I was completely mystified as to how my phone went and unlocked its own bootloader. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Was my phone more special than I thought?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Pretty awesome. Never seen anything like it before. Did the rep give you any troubles?

Nope. As soon as I mentioned that the speaker was buzzing and she confirmed it as a known issue, she just grabbed another one off the shelf and started the return process.
