[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlgrancan:
Greetings from sunny Gran Canaria...

Ok im a little gutted about this but hopefully one of you guru's will rescue me.

I got my SGS2, marvellous

I rooted with a very difficult to find KF5 insecure Kernel

Installed Rom

and now when i make calls all people can hear is "white noise" kinda sound..

i know its not the mic cos i tested with skype so obviously something has buggered up..

Tried couple other Kernals, same issue!

HELP!!!!

***FIXED***

Just reinstalled original stock rom and kernel... i think the problem was an incompatible modem... reinstalling seems to have fixed..

Close Please

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
Here is my issue, my captivate was hard bricked and I was able to perform the unbrickable mod on my phone successfully. It worked the first time with no issues. I flashed a fresh ROM to my phone and all was well, it played all of the games that it always did, the screen looked just as good as it did when it was new. Then one day while playing a game, the screen changed and now it looks like it is in negative mode...(yellow is orange, white is almost purple) kind of like the colors are all reversed. Plus when even attempting to play a game it is a slow crawl. Is there anything I can try or has anyone else seen this issue? I have already used Odin and went back to 2.1 stock and did a master clear, but the issue still exists.

Can anyone help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
broken. if it is under 1 year old send back for warranty now that you flashed to stock. if not... bummer. try to order a new main board.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteSeiler2010:
Yeah this is my original captivate that I bought in August of 2010...so it is way far out of warranty. I will do some searching to see how much a main board would cost me. If its more than $50, I will just sell it for parts. Thanks for the help though!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
You might still wanna contact ATT/Samsung for a replacement. I remember that I was able to replace my old Samsung Impression (touchwiz, no android) even though it was way out of warranty (like 6 months out). ATT may not replace it, so definitely call Samsung...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtchocky:
Just tried watching a vid my brother-in-law sent that he took on his Canon 5D Mark II in full 1080p.... the screen gets wacked out fuzzy and I can't the see the video for the entire duration. Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
Everyone raves about dice player and mx player, try one of those in hardware or software mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtchocky:
This particular video played with the MX Video Player in s/w decoder... thanks so much. What a relief. So Galaxy Nexus doesn't support MP4 1080p.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
It does. Play the video through the gallery instead of the Video app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtchocky:
Just tried... will try and take a screenie.

What's with all the pervy jokes here? Woah. Here's what I'm watching...

When it's working through MX Vid Player with s/w decoding
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Just because the SGN is capable of playing 1080p h.264 videos it doesn't mean its going to play anything you throw at it.

The Canon 5D Mark II produces h.264 base profile encoded video at a 38Mbit/s rate in an .mp4 container.

That's a VERY VERY high bitrate. For reference, a typical bluray is anywhere between 15-25Mbit.

Think about it this way. For this file, encoded at 38Mb/s Your device is trying to decode 4.5 MegaBYTES of video (so we aren't even talking about sound processing at this point) every second. So a 30 minute video runs you at something like 7 GB.

The average bluray at 25 Mbit/s will be 3MB/s and 5GB at 30 minutes.

No mobile hardware chip is going to be good at decoding 38Mbps video. Its somewhat of a miracle that you can even decode this in software mode but I'm sure you can chalk that up to the SGNs fantastic dual core processor.

TLDR; You need to recompress the video at a much lower bitrate. You can keep it 1080p but encode it at something like 10-15Mbps.

I am trying to look up the SGN's rated spec in Mbps for video playback but I can't find it atm.

I bought the beacon theater Louis CK video.. 1280x720 mp4. Works great in the stock player.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
Oh. OK. I had a problem playing 1080P videos in the Video app but the gallery worked, thought that was your issue too. Hopefully you can get it resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtchocky:
Based on Shish' post I would assume the video is made at the lower variable bitrate as is found on BR players and whatnot. I understand from what he's saying that cameras like the 5D are filming at a faster rate than the available equipment is capable of playing satisfactorily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Anandtech tested the Transformer prime at 40mbits/s ....just sayin ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drtchocky:
Then size does matter. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
Apparently the OMAP 4460 uses the IVA-HD Multimedia accelerator for handling video decoding.

And according to the OMAP 4460 spec sheet it can play these codecs hardware accelerated:

• H.264: BP/MP/HP Encode and Decode

• H.264: Fast Profile/RCDO Encode and Decode

• MPEG-4: SP/ASP Encode/Decode (No support for GMC)

• DivX 5.x and higher Encode/Decode (No lower version; for example, 3.11 and 4.x)

• H.263: Profile 0 and 3 for Decode, Profile 0 for Encode

• Sorenson Spark: V0 and V1 Decode (No encode support)

• MPEG-2 SP/MP Encode/Decode

• MPEG-1 Encode/Decode

• VC-1/WMV9/RTV : SP/MP/AP Encode and Decode

• On2® VP6/VP7 Decode

• RealVideo® 8/9/10 Decode

• AVS 1.0 Encode and Decode

• JPEG (also MJPEG) Baseline Encode/Decode

• H.264 Annex G (SVC) Scalable Baseline Profile to 480p – 720p30

• H.264 Annex H (MVC) up to 720p30

Doesn't say anything about the bitrate though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
<3 XDA dev is the only place I can talk about video encoding/decoding and not get put on blast for being a nerd

This vid is 720p (1280x720) and so well below the max bitrate.

The transformer prime is a beast though. It has a Tegra 3 processor which is Nvidia's Quad core CPU with a TWELVE core GPU. That 12-core GPU combined with the 4-core CPU has a LOT more processing power than the 2-core CPU and single core GPU of our Gnexes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
I'm aware of the specs on the prime. I was just responding to your comment that 40mbits was beyond mobile performance possibilities.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Well that's being a bit pedantic for my tastes lol. You and I both know laptops are mobile and can play upwards of 40mbps. The transformer prime is faster than most net books and even some laptops.

Anyway then yea you are right :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheyse:
1. Are you sure video is deinterlaced? If its 1080i, the (C|G)PU has to convert it on the fly in the media player gallery. 40Mbit/sec is very tough to do that with.

2. The Transformer while on paper looks better, the Gnex has better synthetic benchmarks than the T'former. Loook at the Engadget and Anandtech reviews. In LinPack, the Tformer gets about 60'ish, where as the Gnex can hit 90. Just sayin'.

3. Dice Player plays better than anything else I've thrown at it. Too bad the full version isn't available, so I have to uninstall/re-install the trial every 3 days because the guy's google checkout account is locked and he refuses it to see it anywhere else like Amazon's app store. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Touche :)

I just felt like being an ass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beenyweenies:
This probably has nothing to do with bitrate. If the bitrate were too high it would just chunk along, this looks more like a codex issue.

Not sure why it would work in the gallery app and not the video player, but it wouldn't surprise me if this was just another Google inconsistency. Not talking smack, its just the way it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
the problem currently with the GN is support. for instance, i download a lot of tv shows that are in .mkv(720p, ac3) and was able to play them just fine on my Rezound via Dice Player and MX Video Player(in both hardware and software mode).

with the Nexus, upon attempting to play the same files, it'll either crash(freeze up) the Nexus & i'll have to do a battery pull, or if they play they only do so in software mode. additionally, when they actually play in software mode usually the video wuality isnt as good as it was on the Rezound + there will be a slight sync issue.

back when i had my Thunderbolt i also had no problem playing in both hardware and software mode, just that there'd be big time sync issues due to the dated hardware.

i am certain that since the GN is using the new ICS that we're just going to have to wait on these app devs to update the programs to properly handle these files. i just hope it wont take too long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rabaker07:
Ooh, I love Minecraft!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
I haven't had any issues really with the GN when playing 720P downloaded videos, atleast nothing that I didn't encounter with my Transformer. Diceplayer is a great media player, but it has some issues. Sometimes, when restarting a video, it just won't play it, it'll just hang. If you wait a good 30 seconds, usually it'll cause a force close. Restart Diceplayer, and long press on the video you want to watch and tell it to start from the beginning again, and it (usually, for me anyway) loads the video just fine (and usually where it stopped playing the last time, not sure why though...it should start from the beginning...).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
Twelve core GPU?

Nope

Nvidia count each pixel shader, and vertex shader as a core.

Even with that said: Cores don't matter anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
From what I understand its just a tweaked up clocked tegra 2 gpu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vacuum007:
Interesting. Was that video app preinstalled? Because on my gnexus there is no dedicated stock video app - only the gallery. Bought at amazon Germany.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dario3040:
They added 4 more errmmm.... "cores", and did some heavy optimizations.

I still belive it's **** though.

I bet the performance is mostly due to the CPU, not the GPU.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

In a perfect world where cores and Ghz mean speed then yes, but in the real world when architecture means more, then no.

I bet most Atom notebooks would beat it in a speed test.

Okay, that's pushing it... Maybe it's close to some weak celerons?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
just remember, bigger is better. 40's owns all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
IMHO if it was a codec issue it just wouldn't play. To me, what we are seeing is it chugging along. It is loading up as much of each frame it can, then possibly dropping the frame when it renders too long (im guessing but many decoders are optimize to do this) and eventually the vid craps out when it cant handle the load. We're talking about h.264 base profile video here. nothing fancy...other than the bitrate.

This DOES sound like codec support to me. You haven't said anything about the encoding of the files you are trying to play back though so its hard to know. MKV is a container not an encoding; AC3 is an audio encoding. Hardware decoders are very finicky with what they will decode and I've personally seen a lot of times where pirated files were encoded with some non-standard optimizations and hardware devices were unable to play them. I usually recode everything into something lower bitrate and standard encoding profile to ensure compatibility and battery life on my mobile devices.

They are called CUDA cores these days NOT shaders... and the cores are designed to function interchangeably as pixel, vertex, or geometry shaders. Since they were redesigned into CUDA cores they were also made to be programmed by encoding and decoding software in order to facilitate hardware encoding and decoding. So yes, 12 cores (GPU cores != CPU Cores, the architecture is much different but the concept behind multi threaded processing is the same) and yes, the cores will matter as you can process (encode/decode) more than one frame at a time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
More often than not, I have this issue, but it's only when one software update is available. If I have multiple updates, I can hit the "Update x items" button and all of them go. When only one update is available, when I go into it, all I have is Open and Uninstall, rather than Update and Uninstall. I tried clearing Market data and no luck. I'm using version 3.4.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I have seen it to, the update usually shows up eventually though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
The app disappered back into the main list of apps installed, so basically it said it had an update available, and then went away. Nothing ever updated. Google's biggest issue with Android is the dang Market. Tons of bugs.

Yeah Google apps do that to me a lot. They show up under My Apps, but don't show that they need an update until I go into that application. Apple may be a bad company, but at least they have their application delivery system working correctly.

has anyone else experienced tinny speaker with the following rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285663&page=55

i had v10. and understand this has been covered. I did a search and found a zip file which apparently fixes it. it didnt work for me :(

this is an ext4 rom

Appart from that everything else was fine.

The i loaded a sense 3.5 rom which fixed the speaker issue, but now i get very bad laggyness after a couple of days. for example when typing a text or on the net the keyboard vibration will not work, then all of a sudden will vibrate like crazy for a few seconds.......

any one else have these issues?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
If you are experiencing lag with that rom, then something is definitely not right with your install. Have you flashed any mods? Even though the rom does a wipe at install, I recommend wiping dalvik, data, system and reflashing the rom. If you restore from an app like Titanium Backup, or such, do not restore any apps and/or data that are system.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psupernak:
When I install a Rom I wipe the cache, then install from zip. How do I wipe dalvik? I did have titanium backup and restored apps from there so I will delete it and see reflash the Rom.

Ano other recommeddations??

Regards,

Peter.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
This is what I have been doing during testing and have been getting some good clean flashes. After booting into recovery, go to the wipe/format menu, wipe davik cache, then wipe cache, then wipe data/factory reset, then flash rom. When restoring from TB, restore user apps only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psupernak:
Ok I removed Titanium from my phone, cleared cache, cleared davlik data, installed zip from sd card. Rebooted phone AMD set up as usual... Phone was awesome again for first few days... Last night typing on the internet and keyboard began to lag, vibration feedback doesn't work then all of a suddden phone vibrates like crazy as if it catches up........

I can turn phone off and on again and it will be fine for a day or so but then does it again....

It's like its running out of ram or some sort of memory... But in task manager I never uses more than 450 Mb out of 621mb....??

Could it be my actual phone??
[HTC Inspire 4G] psupernak:
*and not AMD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
With this additional info, it is sounding more like hardware. However, I wouldn't be so quick to blame something with the phone itself. Many times, I have found batteries that are going bad to mimic memory issues. I wouldn't rule that out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psupernak:
Apparently its known issue with other phones.. http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus/144354-typing-lag.html
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Sounds like memory leak to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psupernak:
But I watch the memory and it never gets excessive. Apparently the spell check and vibrate overload the phone.....

Also I should be rebooting every second day ( recommended by developer). And when I reboot it comes good... So I may just have to keep doing that...
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
What is causing the issue with that different device is not necessarily what is causing the issue with your device. There are different issues that can cause keyboard lag.
[HTC Inspire 4G] psupernak:
Two questions:

Is it only me who uses vibrate feedback? If not does anyone else have this issue?

And is it worth me reverting my phone back to stock to see if the problem is still there?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
That's really the only thing you can do to rule out a hardware malfunction. If it is a hw malfunction, you will need it that way for warranty anyway.

Thanks for the thought though.

In K9 I have 3 accounts set-up to sync every minute and only ever shows battery usage of 2% in settings. Wonder why yours is using more?

[Motorola Photon 4G] mmacpuguy:
Makes sense, but I don't have that option when I press menu. :confused:

And when I tap on the account at the top it shows me the folders.

[Nook Touch General] vvvccc:
Help needed!

Background:

I have installed the saschianooter on my nook touch 1.1.0 . I had earlier installed the earlier version of touchnooter which wasnt compatible with the version of nook that I have. The nook got stuck at the 'forever reading' page and I had to do a restore with the nrestore after repeated failed attempts to restore with reboots.

Problem:

After this I installed the salsichanooter because there was a youtube video on how to go about it.

However unlike the man in the video (and I guess you folks too..!) after erasing, rooting, rebooting, checking/unchecking, signing in on youtube and then syncing gmail, I do not get the market to open up.

I only get upto the page where it asks me to accept the market agreement. After that I only get "no matching content in android market"

I do not get to see a single app on the screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Nook Touch General] vvvccc:
please?? anyone??
[Nook Touch General] vvvccc:
I am in Canada .. could that be an issue?
[Nook Touch General] Musulsa:
It seems to be a recent issue. Try waiting 12-24 hours and trying the market again. It should work after 12-24 hours. I rooted my wife's Nook STR with salsichinooter 0.4 on Black Friday with no problems. I liked it so much that I bought myself a Nook STR a few days ago and had the EXACT same problem you had. I tried several different market apk's just in case, but they all had the same problem. Waiting a day fixed it.

Read the Touchnooter thread and you'll see others with the same problem with that method also.

If it did not automatically unlock after a day, you should try a different vending.apk to see if that fixes it.
[Nook Touch General] vvvccc:
Thank you..I was wondering if I should leave the reader on or switch it off for 1-2 days?

Been working most of the afternoon trying to get this working. NFC can now be enabled in settings, however there is no NFC indicator near wifi etc. as previously and it is VERY flakey. NFC tag info from market will read credit cards etc. when it feels like. Logcat also shows a lot of information and a good few errors. Obviously not as reliable as previously but its a start.

Looks like I can't post a link, someone PM me.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] fonzi09:
Made a few changes and its working really well now! Tags makes the service crash when I use a credit card (could be due to encrypted data?) but I can't test this due to credit cards being the only NFC thing I own! However NFC info from the market displays the credit card details fine. NFC can now be turned on and off fine from the wireless settings menu (would deadlock the stack previously).

Will post the zip when a mod allows :)
