[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
Anyone have any luck getting the View or Flyer to play 720p mkv files? Using mx video player, the files will play for a few seconds, then the player freezes. Shows that it is using hardware decoding in the few seconds before the freeze. If I quickly switch it to SW fast decoding, it will play but the CPU can't keep up so the playback is jerky.

The same files played fine on my OG Epic with HW decoding (obviously I know hummingbird <> snapdragon) and my ET4G. They also stream just fine to my PS3, so I'm pretty sure it's not the files. Anyone else have any ideas?

My workaround right now is just to handbrake the files to 1024x600 mp4 files (which play just fine with the hardware decoder, just adds an extra step that takes awhile even with my 3.2ghz C2Q).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
Have you tried a different video player? I hear MoboPlayer is quite good.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abhaxus:
I should have specified that I tried mobo and rockvideo player. The others either don't work at all (rock) or didn't handle DTS audio (mobo).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
I think you need to compress the files in Handbrake (try keeping it at 1280x720). I wonder if its just the file size that's the problem. It makes sense more powerful phones/devices can handle them. Perhaps the tablet just can't handle it. I haven't yet received my View, but I think the View just can't handle the videos you are using.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] boastt:
I'm using mx player and can play 720p x264 encoded videos in mkv containers smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIDIncII:
How do i get my phone out of this? Its just saying downloading. I have no clue what its downloading. I got it in ODIN mode on accident, and i dont want to pull battery in fear that i might brick the phone. Help please

forget it i just manned up and pulled battery its fine lol.

DELETE THIS THREAD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I accidentally put my phone in Odin mode once and just pressed the power button again to get out of it. What exactly is the method for getting the phone into Odin mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIDIncII:
Volume down and power button at the same time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justifi:
I just did the same thing. Power button + volume forum = odin mode. I was told you go into that mode when you want to push files from your pc to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaadey:
this happened to me too. i just rebooted the phone and it went to odin mode. i removed the battery and tried opening the fastboot. but i cudnt do anything on fastboot. it was unresponsive! what shud i do?

everytime i take the battery out and then restart its going into odin mode!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Are you certain?

Take the battery out for a minute. Not just a quick second.

And try booting.

If that doesn't work...same method but while holding both volume buttons and power to see if you can access the bootloader.

If not...I don't know what happened.

If you can't access adb/fastboot...it looks like you'll have to use ODIN to factory reset the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaadey:
It didn't work. Can you give me some instructions on how to factory reset using odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
GSM or CDMA?

Here's a CDMA link that explains the process:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] some_developer:
Right now, GameStop is accepting pre-orders of the Prime bundle (comes with gaming controller).

It has a listing of "Pre-orders ship 1/6/2012"

I'm not sure how recent of a change this is, but I thought I had checked it earlier and orders weren't accepted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bartimeus:
I didn't really WANT the controller but this is the most reliable/earliest shipping I have seen so I jumped on it. Thanks! Hopefully this preorder is easy to cancel if something better comes up this week though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xAnimal5:
Saw this 3 hours ago. It's not worth it... at all.

It's $600 once tax and shipping are added and you only get it at like Jan 11 if you choose the cheapest shipping.

There's probably gonna be some more stock coming in for other sites, so I'll wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bartimeus:
Cheapest shipping vs Most expensive was like $7 so I just went with the most expensive, my roommate was actually looking for a Bluetooth game pad for his computer so this works out in the end for both of us. Only bad thing is I didn't have a color option....hopefully it comes in the gray.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 2later2never:
I also got this I wonder will there be an problem like with the first batch where they have waves and some people dont get theirs till later in the month or next month.. I dont see why the company has release the prime like this creating a very large supplie to need ratio.. which in turn creates dissatisfied customer on both ends where (1.) people that got it are disappoint because they waited so long for "This" and its not blowing them away (2.) people waiting and waiting to get it then get it and become 1's.. i dont feel like this is going to work against them in the end or when something similar comes out and it mush easy to get out the gate

Hallo,

Is somebody using AirDroid?

The very first time I tryed it on the GN it worked all very well.

Now I was trying to put some pictures on my phone but it appears that AirDroid can't recognize my phone or something. It doesn't show the battery % for example. And when selecting "files" it just tells me "errror loading folder undefined".

Did somebody else have this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmorton18:
I've been using AirDroid pretty regularly for the last week or so and I haven't had any problems with it so far with the exception of some minor connectivity issues once in awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peikko:
I have no idea why it stopped working.

that's what it looks like to me: http://oi42.tinypic.com/1zwkrxj.jpg
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmorton18:
Have you tried clearing app data and/or reinstalling?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peikko:
Yes, both. Still same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheJ0hnman:
I had the same issue with files you describe in Firefox, and it worked in Chrome. I assumed it had something to do w/ my use of NoScript, as I'll have issues with sites sometimes despite everything on the page being whitelisted, but in any case you might give that a shot if you are in fact using Firefox.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmorton18:
I am using Chrome as well. OP should definitely try a different browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Peikko:
Yes, I'm using Firefox. But the only addon I am using that prevends AirDroid from working could be Adblock.

I try another browser but if Firefox really is the problem I'm not going to switch.

[HTC Incredible S] WarningU2:
Hi I have a HTC Incredible S model S710a that when I thought I acquired from Bell Mobility in Canada was a 3G, but now when I check my account I am listed with a 4G phone. I think this is a bit of a scam. How can my phone suddenly be 4g?

I'm also curious about Android 2.3.5 ... currently the version with HTC Sense is 2.3.3. I asked Bell when do we get 2.3.5 and they told me its HTC that has to issue it. Is that correct?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
The S710a/IncS is rated for HSPA+, which is what some of the NA carriers advertise as 4G.

There is always finger pointing done when a new Android release comes out. HTC has released the unbranded WWE version of 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, but the way I understand it Bell Mobile must now ask HTC to do a BM carrier build with all of the BM apps.
[HTC Incredible S] WarningU2:
Thanks for the fast response and clear reply. I with Jinny at Bell Mobility had been so succinct ;)
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyUT:
Is there anyone on here with a Tbolt in the Salt Lake area?

If so, what 4g speeds are you getting?

I am down in Sandy and not getting more than 4 down and 1.5 up consistently for past few days. Seems way lower than what other people are posting in major cities so I wanted to compare

Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] Cygnusis-X1:
Not currently in that area but I live in Tampa, FL which is a major city and I am currently getting 4.34 down and 3.59 up.
[Thunderbolt General] Chaztera:
I get. 11-12 mb down, 2-5up in millcreek area up to gateway...

Live in ogden chx's to 7-5 dwn 2-3 up...
[Thunderbolt General] pogibry:
I live in West Valley and when I do pick up 4g, it's around 5d 5u typically. I work off of 201 and redwood and I get 9d 8u there. It's definitely getting there, but they still have a lot more towers to install in order to eliminate all their gaps here.
[Thunderbolt General] number5toad:
in NYC here, I average around 12 / 7, with peaks around 30/15 and valleys as low as 2 / .5

lack of towers is certainly no excuse here...given the wildly varying speeds people are reporting and the number of times LTE has been down completely since it launched, I just don't think the network is as stable as it could / should be yet

still though...I love the phone itself, and when LTE works properly it's a thing of beauty
[Thunderbolt General] jimmyUT:
Thanks for the replys. I figured out the problem is at my house. I am not that far from the tower, but the evelation of my house is about 500 feet higher than the tower. Hard to keep a stable 4g signal and when I do its 4 up 1.5 down max. 3g signal is solid though and always has been which is confusing.

Drive down the hill 1 mile away and around the valley and I am closer to 12 up 6 down.

[Thunderbolt General] proskier101:
thats about average. The vzw call center is in WVC and the highest Ive gotten there is 9d. But I was sitting 100ft from the tower in their building.

My device is consistently rebooting itself and sometimes in Safe mode. Anyone else have this problem? Everything is stock btw.
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
Check your buttons to see if any are stuck. When I replaced my digitizer I had a button stick and it took me a bit to figure out why I kept booting into safe mode.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
I would think it would be the trackpad that is sticking, cause you have to hold a button down while booting for it to go into safe mode.

Dont know about the reboots though. You might check and see if the battery is making good contact and there is nothing loose in the compartment or the cover. Someone said they folded a peice of paper and wedged it in the battery area to keep it snug.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
i thought it was power+home buttons that make it go into safe mode?

[myTouch 4G General] tp2215:
I have had a problem like this before. See how many apps you have moved to the sdcard. If you have alott, try moving most of them back to the phone. it seems that on a lot of roms (mainly sense) if you have alott of apps move to the sdcard, it takes alott of time and memory for it to initially load them all and eventually crashes the system causing it to reboot.

[myTouch 4G General] M9x3mos:
Hello all,

Was just wondering if anyone can help me as I am trying to unroot the phone to send back for warranty reasons as main speaker is not working anymore.

First restored the original partition 7 from gfree and ran its unroot

it put back the 0.86.0000 hboot but still showing S-OFF though.

tried to flash the PD15IMG.zip for gingerbread and let it do all the updates and is still on s-off but showing 0.86.0005 now.

When booting it gives the normal first vibration then about a second or two later I get another vibration.

Has all the right software just seems like something is different and not running 100% stock yet.

Any ideas what I am missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Ive heard it can take a couple of tries of rooting and unrooting for it to show s-on. try rerooting it with the same method you used to root and then just get the stock pd15img to flash. Make sure you downgrade the bootloader first though if its now the gingerbread bootloader. Good Luck!
[myTouch 4G General] M9x3mos:
you mean the 0.86.0000 hboot?
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
0.86.000 is the stock hboot, you should be good to go.
[myTouch 4G General] M9x3mos:
yeah that is what I had didn't help

I assume should be engineering hboot

do gfree procedures

then put 0.86.0000
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SComp23:
I just used one for a while, I do not like it. It is too large.

If the Nexus S4G had the internals of the Galaxy Nexus I would keep it forever. It looks like I will be keeping it for a while longer, I don't really see any other viable options at this point.

Discuss.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
I actually like it. I have big hands so it feels good to me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .OmEgA:
Well you'll be waiting a longtime for that amazing phone with a smaller screen than what's been coming out. In case you are blind to trends, every new top of the line phone that's been coming out for the last few years, the screen size gets bigger and bigger. But don't worry, you'll fit in with the rest of the grandparents who don't stay up with the times lol. btw when I say "you" its just generally speaking for all the other people who are waiting for the next bad ass phone with a tiny screen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pharmacoholic:
I have tiny hands (only 5'6") and while I agree the SGN is large it isn't unmanageable. That coupled with just how awesome this device is I would urge people not to pass it up as being too large without trying it in store first. It really is an epic device
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SComp23:
I had the Evo, and I thought that was even too large. For me, 4" is the sweet spot for phones.

I'm well aware of recent trends, just stating personal preference.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .OmEgA:
Nothing wrong with personal preference lol. I'm fond of our current screen size too but I'm up for change unlike a lot of people here who refuse or totally **** talk a phone because of the screen size and ***** how its garbage and going to wait for the next best phone (which will just be bigger than the last lol) I think the current phones out now will be the standard size for screens 4in to 5.x in. Any larger than 6in is just not that practical.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3029789:
Why, hell yeah I do. Sure it's ****huge, but I can deal with it. If I had the money, I would've bought it instantly, so I'm just gonna get the next phone once it is out.

But with that said, it's completely understandable if it's too big for most people.

But now that we run ICS, I'm still completely satisfied with this Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlin:
I tend to agree. In my opinion the form factor of the nexus s is close to perfect. If the galaxy nexus was exactly the same bit instead with a 4 in screen it would be absolutely perfect.

tapa tapa tapa
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gun26:
+1 to what mrhaxx1 said. ICS works very well on my Nexus S. Realistically, I can't justify forking out another $600 or more for a Galaxy Nexus right now, so the NS will do me for the foreseeable future.

As for the size of the Galaxy Nexus, although there is a sizeable minority that agrees with the OP that it's too big, for most people the added screen real estate and resolution compensate for the inconvenience when using it one-handed. I'd love a GN if I could afford one, the size wouldn't bother me although I don't have very large hands.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManicGibbon:
Whilst it's nice and powerful, I've used one for a bit in a shop and I must say I wasn't really that impressed. Maybe it was a faulty model but it was pretty laggy, and I was shocked at how dull and muddy the screen was. Nice res so it's pretty sharp, but I found that my TFT Blade was actually brighter than the Galaxy on full brightness, never mind my S-LCD Nexus S...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SComp23:
I have a tablet, so I typically use that for my more Internet-intensive activities. My issue isn't with how it feels in my hand, but how it feels in my pocket. The Nexus S is perfect for what I typically use my phone for, which is checking scores, phone calls, and SMS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fataldesain:

I love that phone. I can't wait for sprint to get it. Alot of people are mad at things with the phone. At the end of the day I dont think Google wants it to he a nexus vs iPhone battle. Its Android as a whole. That's why I think the camera isnt a big deal. Remember the nexus are developers phones. I don't feel they are for doing battle with iPhone. While the camera lacks a bit its a easy trade for knowing we will get updates fast.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SComp23:
Really, this isn't a solid argument for the Galaxy Nexus over the iPhone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
Haven't played with one, but after reading some reviews, I'm disappointed in the camera. Indoor pictures aren't that great and while most phones are using 8mp, GN is still stuck at 5mp, why is that?

So far ICS is working fine on the NS4G and who knows when Sprint will get it. So, I may just wait til the next Nexus to come out (hopefully it'll come out exclusively to Sprint first, longshot though).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDrumngun:
I prefer a size ranging from and LG optimus to the NS. I feel the GN is too large based on size specs alone but I also feel that way about my NS. I have small hands so to touch my screen with my thumb when I'm one handing it is a hell of a stretch. With that being said I'm sure the GN would still eb nice and ergonomic. Definitely an improvement over the Evo which was hell to one hand. The sharps edges were simply uncomfortable. Once I ditched my Evo for the NS part of my hand stopped hurting. No joke. Once Sprint gets the GN, which I assume will be in the summer with the new 4G LTE network, I will buy one. I just like the curved screen so much and the pure Android experience.
