[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin88g:
Hi,

All my videos collection are either FHD (1080p) or HD (720p).

Many of the videos are in mp4 or .mkv format

I want to convert these videos to Wp7 so that it can play them in FULL screen.

Any software(free/paid) and settings to convert better without loosing quality

Zune does for mp4 files, but it's not very good in terms of file size. one of my video is 130mb (1080p) and converted one in phone has 120mb (aaaahhhh).

Please.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
I've installed many Epic Roms before, with very little problems, however lately when trying to install MTD based roms like CM7, Marcusant, and CleanGB I always get this glitch where I constantly see "USB connected" in my status bar, over and over..

Other glitches also happen, like the clock image being offset, or my text msgs getting sent in all symbols if a large text is sent where it has to send in multiple texts.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
A clean install with a factory data reset may help the USB issue and don't restore any data from a nandroid.

Don't know about the clock but if you use wifi a lot then you will need GoSMS as your messaging app and in the settings click the box that says to split large messages. This is the only thing that has fixed the large messaging gibberish on wifi for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
Ok, well I never install data from a nandroid, I always just redownload from the market.

I've never had to split msgs in this way before, why would I have to do it now?

Any other suggestions?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Because that is how it works on CM7. It defaults to split in TW ROMs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
TW roms? I'm not sure what you mean that it defaults to split. Could you possibly elaborate on that more please?

What I mean is when a text msg is long enough to have to send in multiple msgs, all the person receives is stuff like this "@#$#$%#$%!@!@#@$%&^*$%#$%^@#^%#%$!@@#$!@#$!@%@#$%"

Every time a msg has to send 2/2 or 3/3, it looks normal to me on my screen, but it ends up in all gibberish like above to the person I'm sending to.

I used Odin to go completely back to stock EB13, and then used one click root so now I'm on EC05. I should be able to flash an MTD rom straight from here correct?

I just don't get what I'm doing wrong, I've done all of this so many times and nothing this catastrophic has ever happened. It was even doing that "USB connected" over and over thing earlier on stock rooted EC05. It isn't doing it now, but it was earlier. I can't figure out what's triggering it or what's causing it in the first place. It's getting very frustrating.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
Let me repost this

Do this....

Go into settings in your mms and check split 160 messages, this should fix it. If not turn your wifi off previous to sending it and it should be fine. I no longer have this problem but some seem to encounter this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
To elaborate Touchwiz ROMs (every one but CM7 and MIUI) default to sending a 2/2 or 2/3 splitting up long texts at the 160 character point. CM7 and MIUI do not. So you have to actually go into your mms settings and check the box that says split long texts or split at 160 depending on your messaging app. Otherwise it sends more information than your recipients phone can handle and they see gibberish.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
The usb connected problem is because you have "gunk" in the usb port... get a qtip and clean out the usb port and it should fix that problem... happened to me a lot and then cleaned the port and now no usb connected notification anymore... :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMallacht:
Update:

This seems to be a different issue than the USB port being gunked up. At first I thought this was a fantastic idea so I immediately got out the rubbing alcohol and a q tip and cleaned it out real good. That didn't work so I got my air compressor and blew a bunch of air into the port, this seemed to clean out just about everything. I shined a flashlight in there and I couldn't hardly see any dirt at all.

I just noticed that it only does it if "USB Debugging" is checked. I unchecked debugging and it stopped saying "USB connected" almost immediately.

Any suggestions? Seems to be some sort of software issue, but I'm still only running stock EC05, rooted.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
Hmmmmm.... idk when I had that problem running srf and I cleaned it out the problem immediately went away... I would unroot and bring it to sprint and see if they can figure it out... might be a problem with the usb port...

Did you have insurance on the phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wscott9903:
I did this, and it worked for me, and i also went into my stock messages and in settings and checked SMS split.

I was afraid that it was the system font change I did, that was screwing up my texts. I was bummed for awhile. But it's better for me. Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monke30butt:
Yes, I pay for the insurance. But when this happened it was only a few months old & was still under factory warranty. The replacement did not cost me a dime. Samsung covers the phone for 1 year from the purchase date (this is standard for cell phone warranty as I understand it). But with cost of replacements, I cannot justify not paying the $7 a month, especially since mine is not under factory warranty anymore.

I believe it was replaced under factory warranty at that point.

I have a Xperia Play that is Sim Locked and so i cant unlock my Bootloader.

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arsalansiddique:
It is still possible to unlock the bootloader of your phone as I have a sim locked phone but unlocked it and unlocked the bootloader altough to do this you are going to have to sim unlock your phone with a software like omnius which uses a testpoint connection which gives you the option to unlock the bootloader of your phone it will not work if you unlock your phone using a unlock code.

but still no luck.... still reboots after flashing led's

just wanted to know if its possible to extract the very baseband, recovery, amss and dsp1 from my dell streak and put it into his.... after all every streak has the same hardware right? its just something is not right with the installation of the OS....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EsPeHil:
Hey.

It's a bit lame that I can't ask this from mskip himself on his thread. (but I understand the rules.)

I've done my first flash from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 Google stock image.

Now my hunger has grown and I want more.

I've downloaded franco kernel, maguro Milestone 2, GApps. (<- I need Google Calendar and navigation is good to have)

What do I flash first? Maguro I presume.

But how do I flash kernel? And GApps?

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
Hey, flash the rom first after wiping data and cache. Then straight away flash GAPPS and after that restart go through setup and then reboot and install kernel. Flash the kernel after wiping davlik cache. Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TorbenKB:
Sorry for interrupting and for a pretty lame question, but please clarify for me, if the files in the Internat Storage will or will not be deleted if I wipe the device in CWM, before I flash?

I've flashed my HTC Desire HD a zillion times, but since it's eqipped with a physical Storage Card, I'm a bit confused about the way the Galaxy Nexus works. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silow:
CWM has been coded to be aware of how the internal storage was designed on the Galaxy Nexus (and other Android devices that utilize MTP). Traditionally it will reformat the /data partition however for our device it will instead delete all files and folders outside of the /data/media directory (the internal storage).

For all who are curious you can read the source code for the latest CWM to determine this behavior.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dreamtheater39:
After looking at Android's fragmentation, the pain that one has to go through for every damn update is really getting to me! Google has really screwed this one up big time...its funny to even see the number of different screen sizes, hardware configurations android is being used. No standardization makes it a nightmare for developers to write applications that are consistent. Its hard to imagine that google has been so short sighted!

Asus is surely a brilliant company to have come out with a great tablet (and their newer tabs are kick ass too at great price points). But its really bothersome if I'm always in some sort of dependence on the manufacturer to release OS updates - this is just plain crazy! If Google's aim of ICS was to converge all devices to use the same OS, then why aren't they supporting manufacturers or insisting on all manufacturers to push out an update?

To start things, Google has really messed up their long term roadmap with fragmentation issues...and I would expect a company of that scale to atleast put in some sort of contractual commitments with all its manufacturing partners to roll out updates to its customers within a given timeline.

Here is what I would expect Google to have implemented yesterday, if they really need to retain popularity towards Android and keep it growing -

1. No more fragmentation moving forward. Standardization of screen resolutions, minimum performance requirements, ram, storage requirements etc.

2. Device manufacturers must commit to issuing software updates within some timeline from when google has an update.

3. Manufacturers dont decide if the update can run on their device or not - it must be google who decides this, and should be decided based on hardware specs

Now with Windows 8 on the horizon, I would definitely wait it out and move over to a Windows 8 based tablet. Knowing Microsoft, they're perhaps the only company who invests a lot of time and thinking in getting things right. It shows clearly from their development tools/platform, their emulators, clean implementation rather than an iterative approach etc.

Last android tablet for sure! And I'm hoping windows phone 7 will mature too, and its windows 8 variant should be a lot more promising. Thats when I would phase out my Galaxy S and head back to MS :)

What are your thoughts people? :)

cheers,

San

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Col.Kernel:
If you prefer a monolithic OS to the liberty you get with Android that's your choice.

Personally, I do not. I do not like being locked into one vendor who gets to decide how I use my device.

I like having a choice between a smartphone, a 7", 8.9", 10.1" or even 11.5" tablet, or even a laptop that I can run the same OS (Android) on.

I love the Transformer. I have one device that is truly a tablet and, with root, also serves the full functionality of a laptop. What can Windows offer me that does this? What can iOS offer me that can replace my Transformer?

And that's besides the fact that with a Windows device I'm stuck with an OS that I am familiar with the shortcomings of, and unable to do anything about. Or with iOS that, again, no one can fix but the manufacturer (if they feel like it).

Yes, fragmentation of the Android platform is a bit of a problem. The Market addresses this, somewhat, by only showing software you can install on your device. Most Android devs are sensitive to their customer's needs and a polite email is frequently responded to positively, and usually with a fix in short order.

Frankly, I consider the fragmented markets (GetJar, Market, Amazon App Store, etc) to be a far larger problem than fragmentation of the OS, and I don't consider that to be anywhere close to a large problem.
