If this isn't a dev posting a working and bootable ICS for SGS4G then does this topic belong here? This been posted about a billion times in the right section of the SGS4G forum mind you. Use search function, post in old decrepit post about ICS, but please don't hog up the development section with this garbage. Important stuff belongs here like the roms that the devs here work so hard on only to be under appreciated by a bunch of sniveling children who didn't get their beloved CM7. Yes ICS got unwittingly dropped by the ever so greedy and scrooge like Samsung, who against Google's Open Handset Alliance, which promises a device would be supported for 18 months, has decided they are going to drop all galaxy devices period rather than provide official ICS. If you'd really like ICS then you'd best start donating. Money is tight for me right now but I know when my cash flow picks up my green backs are going to start moving in this direction.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
You know what I've come to understand? A new user won't know how the regular users will want the forum to run. I made the same mistake myself and had a few threads moved out of the dev section. It's a dev question, so it could properly fit in the dev board.

You're just bumping the thread needlessly. Next time do what I did and just post a link to where the topic was discussed instead of ranting about how it's in the wrong section. Just report the thread and have one of the mods move it. It's much easier than having to take time out of your day to type up a long post talking about how pissed off you are about it.

Merry xmas everyone!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] intolaomair:
im looking for something like the stock task killer widget that comes with the samsung galaxy tab 10.1.

there is nothing on the prime like that and i am having trouble killing apps.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
This should be in a the Apps forum.. plz Post in there. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Haro912:
Agreed. But to answer your question. If HC is anything like GB then you don't need a task killer. All you will do with it is slow your Prime down. Which may not be noticable on this thing but that's what happens. Your apps will take longer to load because of how Android handles those types of things. The phone is faster after it has been running for awhile because of it. Instead of fully loading an app everytime you just pull it out of memory and your good to go. Multi-tasking :) If you still want an app killer I used to use Advanced Task Killer on my OG Droid when it had Eclair and then after I got Froyo and I stopped because I no longer crashed my phone because of background apps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weedahoe:
Stock 4.02 works fine for me but then again, im not in a 4G area. I flashed to 4.03 and noticed two issues.

Wifi Tether will not work with 4.03. I consistantly get errors in the startup log. Even worse, when on wifi at home im fine and my signal icons are blue meaning im connected to google servers. But if i disconnect off wifi and use my cellular 3G connection my signal icons stay grey and will not turn blue.

I had to flash back to 4.02 and instantly got blue icons on 3G and now my Wifi Tether works.

Anyone else got the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] absens:
lol for posting in the dev forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weedahoe:
Really wasnt sure where to put it but since the leaked radio thread was here i thought it would be a good place as well

Anything involving a question in the forum goes to Q&A. There is a dedicated section for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QuadFather:
I read this was posted in the wrong place, sorry if I am just perpetuating the mistake but I wanted to respond with my experience with the 4.0.3 Radio. I have it installed on my SGN running Android Revolution HD 2.1.2 and Wireless Tether works fine, lasts a long time. I am running the latest Wireless Tether though (wifi_tether_v3_1-pre112).

Not sure if this helps, just thought I would share my experience. Carry on...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
Hello everyone, I tried the search button in these forums and the Google but I can't find an answer.

My friend sent me a movie file (.mov) from his iPhone. First I can't even download the file. In the Gmail application, the file appear as an attachment with no buttons. No save, play or preview button? Is this normal?

I know there is an application called "download all" to download the attachment. Is this the right move to do?

Also, after the download (if it succeeded) what is the best player to play this? Is it 'Mobo player" or "VLC player" or anything else?

Off note: My friend (another one) has a Nexus S with ICS and in the mail attachment he has "Save" button. Is this an ICS thing?

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
Check your Gmail to see a paperclip icon. If you have it, then you will get the option to download the file. If you don't see the paperclip icon then no attachment was sent.

The .mov file can be played with moboplayer or mx video player. You will have to browse for the .mov file with "ES file explorer" or browse for it directly from within the video player app (mobo or mx).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
I have the clip icon, but no option to download, save, preview out play...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
It looks like you have the "conversation view" on in your gmail account. Click on the heading (next to the sender) that have the file you want and it should expand it.

To make it easier you can turn off the "conversation view" in your gmail account using your pc or the web browser of your Galaxy S2. Just Open Gmail, top right corner is a "cog wheel", hit it and go to mail settings, scroll down to "conversation view" and disable it, then save. Then just go back to your smartphone and try again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
I pressed "Show details" and it only shows the full email addresses of all the parties.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whatsitsnamenow:
Not show details, click on name.

Or to make it easier you can use the "email" (not gmail) app. Just enter your email and password and you are good to go.

EDIT: Er nevermind the "email" app. There seems to be a file size limit, so may not work with big video file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ahmadshawki:
I installed mobo player pro and the problem is fixed if I use the internet version (gmail.com). It downloads the file and then plays it. Still, the file attached doesn't show a save or preview in the gmail application...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m14mclaren:
hey everyone

Today my galaxy tab p7500 started playing up when I was watching a few videos on mx player i noticed the lines across the screen, which i assumed at the time was the video,then i noticed it was doing it on the main launcher screen, only in landscape mode though, potrait is fine. I am running task 10 and have done complete wipe of everything in cwm. i havent yet done areturn back to factory os though.

Is there a fix for this or do i need to return back to point of sale? Bit worried about warrenty and having rooted

One month, cause I'll find it on cheesecake :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
What exactly is "Cheesecake"? I've seen it floating around and I think I used something like that for my Bionic (when I had it) to get an 893 update.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankiedizzle87:
Motorola said that it will release 3-4 months read it on phonedog.com few weeks ago
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
I like to think of it as an underground conglomerate akin to Fight Club.

We basically raid Motorola's engineering servers looking for test builds. The brave few (like me) might flash them, but usually it's better suited to pass the builds on to a developer.

Cheesecake is an app Phydo made to make it much easier. Before it would take hours.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nicastro78:
It will be released when it is ready. :-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
Ahhh that makes sense! Now I know. Thanks!

tried different roms

tried changing to stock kernel

tried changing ringtones also
[HTC EVO 3D] charlierex:
ok

yeah i too have the same issue so what do we do
[General Questions and Answers] mroneeyedboh:
The evo has been the best phone for me yet. It has kept my attention and still is. Reason Im talking about new phones is that Im going to be ready for an upgrade soon. And one line already is. I may do the one line now, and get the new Galaxy. But I think I may want the new Nexus coming out soon...

With that being said, whats new coming out here shortly? Is there something worth waiting for?

Hello all,

I've two questions, i'm outside of the USA (Israel) and i can't seem to setup outgoing email, i called the the internet comapny (bezeqint.net) and they pretty much told me to @#$.. off, "we don't have tech support for every device out there".

I tried k9 also but same results.

also, i'de like to manually install 6.2.1, how do i do that (after download)?

i'm on rooted 6.2 with superoneclick, will superoneclick 2.3.2 root me after somehow installing 6.2.1 ?

Thanks.,

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kidio007:
Hi, I just got my galaxy tab 10.1 and all 720p video files (trailers, music videos, movies) I put on it lagg really bad. I tried moboplayer, rockplayer and MX player. Has anyone been able to play a 720p file on it without lagg, and how do you do it? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Smith2001:
I'd do a search if I was you. there is either bsplayer lite or diceplayer on the market. those play them OK. that's your only choices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] delboy98:
Agreed, Diceplayer works without any lag at all. All my 720p mkv episodes run buttery-smooth.

If you only buy *one* app from the market, make sure it's this one (you also have to install the Diceplayer Tegra 2 plug-in).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jambu21:
yeah diceplayer is good. just that there is only the trial version on market with 3 day trial. waiting for the paid one
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Nash123:
Diceplayer is still a little bit laggy. Tegra2 suckz big time btw. My singlecore galaxy s handles all kinds of hd-videos without problems.

Bsplayer works best. Almost no lag.

Gesendet von meinem GT-P7510
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Darky135:
I use VLC Direct Pro, works really great!

and you can stream from your pc, so you don't have to put your movies, series of music on your tablet, just stream it from your pc ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] loudestsilence:
I use mxplayer and I haven't got problem, although my tab is far from stock rom :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kidio007:
Thank you! Bsplayer was the only player I found that handled 720p with only a little lag. When I overclocked to 1,4ghz with the task 650 rom the lag was like 99% gone on bsplayer. Tegra 2 did not run 720p videos as good as I thought it would, and I guess battery life while watching hd movies must be pretty bad if it needs 1,4ghz OC to run it smoothly.

Edit: It was only able to play trailers smoothly. When I tried a 720p movie it was really choppy. I think I have dowloaded every video player there is and none actually play 720p mkv movies smoothly at all, even with 1.4ghz OC it doeson't work. If I can't get 720p to work, I think I will return this and get the transformer prime instead.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Threads like this come up every couple of weeks. Yes, hardware accelerated codec support on tegra 2 is limited. Those looking to decode just any old file they get elsewhere should look elsewhere for a device that supports the random codec settings that are found on video and movie "distribution sites". Those who do their own encoding can find encoding settings that provide great playback quality on these devices at 720p resolution.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] davidheffernan:
Default video player plays 720p mkv fine for me. 2.17GB file and no lag or frame drops
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mass Zero:
Your default player plays MKV? :/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] davidheffernan:
If you copy files on without file extension (this also allows files greater than 2GB to be transferred) and then use androzip or similar to add .mkv to the files Default video player picks up the files and plays them fine
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mass Zero:
With "pick up," do you mean adding to the library? Because the files actually are in the library in my case, the player just says the files can't be played.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] davidheffernan:
Sorry, yeah they get added to the library. Must just be the encoding used within the mkv frame in your case. Either audio or Video codec not compatible within the mkv for the Tab. In the case of the 2GB file I was using it's AVC and AAC audio.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] parag31:
hello friend, can you please explain simple and step by step?

if i can run .mkv in my stock player then that is the biggest happiness for me.

what should i do please tell me.thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mass Zero:
I'd like to add to this that overclocking the device to 1.4GHz did the trick. I can now play my 720p MKV files perfectly fine, using MX Video Player.

Remove the file extension on your computer. This can be achieved by opting to show file extensions, in Windows' folder options. Then, when the files are on your tablet, use a file manager like ASTRO, IO or AndroZip to re-add the extension. That's it. Depending on the video files, this may or may not work.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] exconvictriddick:
Here's the answer to you question

The best solution I've found to play 720P locally or stream via SMB is using diceplayer or BSplayer. I use both. Dice Player kinda sucks at skipping timeframe, only great playing 720P video from beginning to end. BSplayer is awesome because I can skip to any and plus it has its own SMB file browser. That alone is not enough though when playing 720P smoothly, you have to overclock it to 1.4Ghz. I'm using Galaxy Task 8.0 ROM and it plays buttery smooth. Use tasker and setcpu to create some custom condition when to overclock. I set condition in tasker to overclock to 1.4Ghz when BSplayer is active and in SetCPU, I set 800mhz when screen is off and set another for 1Ghz when screen is on. Hope that helps. ^^

Don't use Galaxy Task v9 or v10 because I was having WiFi issue, i dont know if its just my tab or not...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] komorka:
1. In Handbrake load your video.

2. Choose the profile for iPad.

3. On the Advanced settings tab

unclick

"8x8 Transform".

4. This step is optional if you don't really need a 720p video. iPad resolution videos looks exquisite on the Tab anyway.

Resize your video to 1280x720 by clicking on the Picture tab on a Windows machine. Mac users can click the Picture button to change the resolution. Leave all other options intact!

5. Hit convert and wait.

The resulting file will be less than 1GB for a 1h40min video! You can push it with ADB or copy it through MTP without reconversion!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] inc_jack:
On stock ROM and with Galaxy Task, I've been able to play 720p with no lag using diceplayer with the Tegra2 add-on. No overclocking. I think it's going to depend a lot on how the file was encoded, though. It just happens that I have no problem with the videos I play.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] adzman808:
yeah i've been playin with .mkv files on my day old stock rom (but rooted) tab...

my experiences...

transferring 720p mkv via std mtp mount on win7 pc = file copies fine,

1080p mkv wont transfer (it copies for an 1hr, gets to 5 secs to go & fails lol)

stock player can't play mkv for shjt

mx is laggy as hell & hw decoder doesnt work

vplayer does a good enough job with 720p, when using a buffer & hw decoding

i realise there's a lot more to a movie file than its extension... but that's all i realise ;-)

did kinda expect better from the tab tbh... my old cheapa$$ arnova a9 g2 (that i took back to the store & put money too, to get the tab) could play 720p on the stock player.... (exact same files i'm testing on the tab)

i might check out diceplayer that y'all raving about or even BSplayer, my preferred mkv player on my laptop

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] YBCold:
Why is everyone so persistent on using mkv files? Why not Mp4?

Just asking, don't go off the hinge!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mrbubba999:
Its a pretty standard container format for HD quality video files (most HD files I come across are mkv)

Just played a few in bsplayer streamed from my NAS and there was a bit of lag on the 720p files and the 1080p ones were very sluggish
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] YBCold:
So does Dice Player Expire after 3 days and then I'm screwed?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] maupenabh:
I've been using MX player and it plays 720p mkv fine over wireless, in software mode. My tab is overclocked to 1.4, in paris rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Danstek:
I've resorted to just re-encoding all my h.264/AVC high profile streams down to main profile level 3.1. I'm just not sure what bitrate to use to minimize quality loss. Obviously there will be some quality loss but the more I can prevent then the better.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HawaiianLaker:
I've been wondering this for a while now, but when I was on stock 3.1 on my gt10.1 dice played anything and everything I threw at it, it was AMAZING so I bought it, then I upgraded to 3.2 and now dice doesn't play anything without lag. I like 3.2 for its performance boost so I won't go back just to play videos but I wish it worked as well as it did back on 3.1 on 3.2... I will say BS player is working better then dice right now, for me anyways. On galaxy task 9.0 stock kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 07blackwater:
Tried bsplayer and it's the best I've found so far on 3.2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] siscopiso:
mine plays 720p mkv very smoothly and without any lag, Im using the stock player and I didnt need to download any other player.

however when I wanna copy mkv files from my laptop to my GT it 'converts' them which takes a bit longer but I cant complain.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] adzman808:
Personally i care about playing mkv cos that's what my movie collection is formatted in

Can't get the stock player to do mkv for **** but if i upnp to my media player bs works fine on the 720s but is laggy on the 1080s

Handbrake works great for recoding the mkv files but it takes a very very long time

Having spent a lot of timeonthis I've decided that I'll just plug the laptop into the tv for the mkv files and use the tab as a music player n notebook type device, works well enough as i don't watch a lotof films n f**kin hate my windows laptop ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Darky135:
why bothering yourself to install an app that's working buggy if you have VLC Direct, you can stream every movie or music from your pc (with VLC of course). You install VLC Direct on your tablet, open VLC on your pc, in VLC you choose web-interface and you can choose every movie on your tablet you have on your pc and it plays everything. So you can use all your space on your SD-card for other things than movies or series. I use it allmost everynight to watch a movie in bed.

And if my movie is done, I open Unified Remote on my tablet and close my pc with it, so I don't have to leave my warm bed to close my pc :D

I only can say to try it yourself, you'll see it's a great app ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kidio007:
720p files from "distribution sites" all seem to have trouble running on the Gtab 10.1. Most files lagg really bad, while others have audio slightly out of sync. When I tried to convert files using Handbrake, the audio still was out of sync while the video ran fine. All files run perfect on windows and mac. I guess in this case it's better to just buy a small laptop. Is it the tablet, the video player or the android OS itself that makes audio out of sync? Because it works fine on vlc player on my desktop.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Its the encoding method and settings.

Me either. Dice player plays my .mkv and other files flawlessly.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 1337GameDev:
The default video player can lag, depending on container formats used, so i would suggest mxvideo (and the armv7 decoder module) to play .mkv files well. Remember that when playing mkv, it will eat battery more than an avi or regular video as it has to read larger amounts of data.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cameraz:
The Ice Cream Sandwich update broke the ability to pay high definition files smoothly. I had to re-encode all of my videos using SUPER ©.

They play smoothly now, although resolution is slightly worse.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] decatf:
More cores does not always mean it will be faster.

Samsung did not lie either. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 can play HD videos as advertised. It can play the HD videos smoothly but not all HD videos.

They are no different than any other company or any other business.
