There were problems on stock too. Plus for some reason, stock had a terrible lag. I gues if it doesnt resolve itself i will have to do another exchange (this is my 4th exchange) hopefully with mwc next month, t-mobile will get a few new phones and i will be able to get a working device :). Anyways thanks for the help

I see a lot of of roms with the Sony bravia engine I looked it up but I don't fully understand can anybody give me some info on as for the rom part can we incorporate it into our roms
[Motorola Droid 3] b_harvey:
i'm pretty sure the Bravia engine is a chipset like on sony's tv's and not rom specific, which is why it's only available in sony phones. i have had sony phones in the past & looked recently at the expria line, the video has always been superb!
[Motorola Droid 3] saintlikesniper:
They have ported. It to phones from htc but I entirely don't know
[Motorola Droid 3] emprize:
Im not sure the chips things but i believe it has been ported to lg optimus 2x
[Motorola Droid 3] saintlikesniper:
Exactly why can't we make use of it. If it can be ported over something like the g2x why not us?
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
It's from the sony xperia roms, it contained some "Bravia mobile engine". Didn't really do anything.
[Motorola Droid 3] saintlikesniper:
apparently it has if it's been induced into other Roms for something but I entirely don't know
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/product/xperiaarc/video/mbe/ Xperia arc mbe (mobile bravia engine) cheesy vid on the se site but might give you an idea of what it does.

http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/15365 Q&A on the SE forums about what the mbe really is, user asks if it's just an image enhancer software and the mod(S/E Employee) responds with

I know the arc etc (anything that I know I've seen the mbe running on) is using the qualcomm adreno gpu, although I'm pretty sure our sgx chips support all the API's listed above it might be a real roadblock not having that chip. Also, the software was real garbage, it was only on when you were viewing an image or your desktop or something like that, if you opened a full screen vid it shut off. Here's a dev thread where someone ported it from the arc to the play (should be the most basic port for this software since both phones use the same hardware) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246402 Sounds like hassle for something that doesn't work when you want it to. If you really want to try it out I would download the cwm install files from the xperia play thread, unzip them, push the be_movie and be_photo to /system/etc/, chmod them to 755 just like the updater script does and add these 2 lines to your build.prop

ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

This would be the quick/dirty way I would use to just see if it works personally. All the instructions I wrote came out of the updater-script from the play port basically.

I had the arc for ~2 months before getting rid of it but IIRC there were only 2 instance when the mbe was active, when viewing images with gallery and ?videos on youtube?? If I can find a system dump of the new bell firmwares(not the patch files but every time I ask for a dump someone links me patch files lol) I might take a look for you and see about popping it in a rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] saintlikesniper:
Okay thank you but seems like it's just a display enhancer could we modify it and make it universal Like a dsp manager
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
It may, my only concern would be that (unless it is actually working on the SGS2) is it running on any phones that aren't using the qualcomm adreno gpu? And wouldn't it/shouldn't it be much more optimized for that hardware/would we really see any benefit from it at all?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alleycat68:
Everytime I try to start my camera, it won't open and "media scanner running" starts. I can clear data in Media Storage and it corrects the error until I reboot my tab and it starts all over again.

I have tried everything I can think of including switching to every available ROM. The only "permanent" fix I've found is flashing the 3.1 OTA rom.

I'm hoping someone has had this problem and found a solution.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alleycat68:
Is there a way to get my tab back to factory new condition?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
have you tried just wiping data/dalvik/factory ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alleycat68:
Multiple times...just found what I think has fixed the issue. Seems I had a corrupted multimedia file of some sort. I just deleted all media (pics, movies, music) and started from scratch and has worked thru 3 reboots.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
Thats good to know
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markdj57:
My Video Player won't open since yesterday when I updated to v3.2 and it immediately closes and then runs the media scanner. I wonder if this is the same issue??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alleycat68:
Which rom are you currently running?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markdj57:
Running the latest stock UK rom for the p7510XXKL2 v3.2
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] albert emmer:
Also happen to me. Very disturbing...

send from android 3.2 device
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markdj57:
After a few hours the tab rebooted itself and since then video player has been working, no idea what it fixed, but it fixed itself.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] quorn23:
the media scanner can crash if it stumbles on a file with issues (corrupted, wrong file ending etc.)

first thing to try is to delete (backup) all the media files and see if works without them as Alleycat wrote.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dextroamphetamine:
teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5 has a good guide at the bottom of that page for restocking. Also there seem to be a lot of problems around weird filenames, last week Kies would not even detect my Tablet until I deleted a bunch of files with strange characters.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mario9702:
I too had the same problem running task's slim 13. Does anyone think that this might be an android virus of some kind?

Edit: I also noticed a process called "root" running superuser permission. My screen would just flash "root has been granted superuser permission" but i would not open any kind of app. Also, when checking superuser I could see root had been granted access several times. Not sure if this is related.

EDIT: Nevermind, it appears the system just needed to scan for media and my sdcard was pretty full so it took a while.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] brownstar69:
I get that sometimes, to solve it clear cache of Video Player
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markdj57:
Thanks

I will try this, I am still having issues with video player for v3.2
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RDHoworth:
Hi,

I finally gave up on this problem and stollped the media scan from running at all - I have not noticed the difference except that the camera and video player now work. I used Rescan Media Root from the Market.

Sinnce I use QuickPic to manage media, I doubt I will suffer from the Media Scanner not operating.

Also using Slim 13.1 and the native Video Player. This issue did not occur with Dice Player, but I like the way the native player handles 5.1 sound
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mykd99:
same problem. I am coming from AOKP. Can this be an issue when comming from an ICS ROM as the camera doesn't work there. I did a full wipe/dalvik wipe/cache wipe, why would this still be lingering? Still hasn't fixed itself and I tried the clearing cache under settings > apps. Any other ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RavenY2K3:
I had this when my storage was maxed out, what's the status of your free space?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] finalleopard:
Same happened to me after switching from ics to hc. The only solution is downloading Rescan media root from market and disabling the media scanner
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] n1vlek:
if you are still in HC 3.2, the easiest way to fix this problem is going to task manager and kill the programs in the ram manager. worked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Tyxerakias:
I didn't want to stop media scanner via root, so what finally did it for me was going into manage applications -> all -> media storage -> clear data.

I hope it works for more people with this stupid problem.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] badboy47:
best way i found is to first open the gallery. Let load all the pictures. Then load the camera. it should work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levky:
Hi,

Sorry if this sounds like an idiotic question but anyway, here it goes:

I am considering flashing a custom ROM but I see in that post that it says it requires to have a slightly different version of android and/or radio than the one I currently have (ie i have 4.0.1 and the ROM "suggests" to have 4.0.2). Does this mean that I should flash a stock ROM with the necessary "requirements" first before flashing the custom ROM that I am interested in?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metro77279:
No, if you flash a stock Rom and then a costume Rom, the costume will take over the stock. Just flash the one you want but make sure you do a back up first just in case, don't ever worry as long as you back up, you'll be okay
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahmoudalsafty:
just flash it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levky:
Thanks for the info. This is exactly why i feel a bit confused. My understanding was that the ROM would already have the new version of Android or radio wrapped into the ROM itself.

then what is the reasoning behind the "requirement for a ROM"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levky:
thanks.

just FYI to all, i took the dive and flash my first custom ROM successfully. thanks for the advise.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
ROM and Radio are two different things, with two different flashing processes. When you flash a custom ROM, you change the entire Android operating system, but it doesn't change your radio. If you have to flash a radio, there are quite a few methods you can find if you search. Usually if you have good battery life and signal strength, then you don't need to flash a new radio. Otherwise, you may try flashing the latest radio available for your phone.

I am tying to use gingerbread keyboard but it keeps switching back to swype .... Should i just use the samsung keyboard and wait for the update? Or is there a way to make it stop switching to swype?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] media_11:
You can go to settings and uncheck swype keyboard if you don't want to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
I have done that several times and it keeps going back to Swype ... Its like my phone is forcing me to use swype when im using the gingerbread keyboar.. When i keep on the samsung keyboard, it seems to stay on that . And it doesnt switch back to swype... But i dont want to use the samsung keyboard, it sucks!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ChauncyG:
If you are rooted, freeze Swipe in Titanium Backup or some other utility. You could also uninstall it (still need root).

If you are not rooted, search the Market for another keyboard and install it and use it. SwiftKey is great (imo).

This is why many root their phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
Thank you so much!! Forgot that i have the ability to Freeze apps now that i have rooted my s2.... i love this forum! Very active and helpful ...better than any other android forum website.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
So i uninstalled Swype ... Nowni am trying to use gingerbread keyboard , but keeps switching back to Samsung keyboard.... Seems like my phone keeps rejecting gingerbread kb ... Is this a app issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ChauncyG:
Not sure if it is, but you could also freeze the Samsung keyboard to stop it. Just make sure you have at least one keyboard installed.

I don't know if you have tried it, but, the Swipe Beta has Dragon speech recognition build in. I am using it and I hardly ever have to correct it. It is really good. If you want to try it search the internet for Swipe Beta. You will have to register with them but it really worth it.

Also, as mentioned in my last post, Swift Key is really good. It uses the email and texts in your phone to help its prediction process turning the typing process into only a few taps per message. Definitely worth a try.

Ok, i was going to post this in the Virtuous Quattro Thread, but i am not yet allowed to. Anyway, just a couple issues.

1. My lockscreen has dissapeared, i have not disabled it or anything. So when i press the unlock buttn, it lights up to the main screen.

2. My Home button doesnt work, which is really annoying

PLEASE HELP xD
[HTC Incredible S] No Roads...:
you should go to settings > security > screen lock.

If its already at slide just turn it off and back. Should put it on there

Does your soft key vibrate when you touch it? Just wondering if its still responding to touch
[HTC Incredible S] empirexdude:
Maybe re download Virtuous Quattro RC2 and reflash and see if it persists. Sure it's not a hardware issue with the home button?
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
yep, it responds to touching it
[HTC Incredible S] No Roads...:
That's really odd, I would concur with empirexdude and say reflash. If its software issue that's got to fix it...

Did you figure out the lock screen issue?
[HTC Incredible S] TaLEntZ96:
Yep, I'm gonna reflash it because I couldn't even fix the lock screen

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocs Macho:
Today I tried to update to the newest version of MIUI for my Inc. After the install was complete, the phone went into a bootloop. I did a battery pull & tried to boot into recovery from the hboot. The HTC Incredible screen would flash, then the phone would vibrate 5 times and the screen would stay blank. I noticed the notification light was flashing green about every 3 seconds. I did another battery pull and powered up into the hboot again. I am now noticing it reads "S-ON". So, I cant get past hboot. HBOOT= 0.92.0000, RADIO =2.15.00.07.28.

[HTC EVO 3D] Cordy:
all retailers for this particular case are located in China unfortunately. One of the other two offered a slightly cheaper price but you pay for shipping and it comes out to be about the same as the one from ebay in terms of shipping length and total price. The only difference is you can choose faster shipping but it costs more than the case itself which essentially is pointless. The other retailer sells them in bulk.

[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
i'm a case whore so.........subscribed! please let us know how the case is.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
Just got the case in, I'll post pictures later tonight but here are my initial views and opinions:

lightweight, plastic, sturdy. Feels good in hand, thin, not made of the greatest materials but for 6 bucks who can argue. The carbon fiber feel on the back seems all good and fine but thats really about it. Feels more like those skins you can buy online as well.

The cut outs of the case seem to be in all the right places not disturbing the functions of the phone. Although I noticed sliding the 2D to 3D button to be a bit troublesome (not a bad deal for me since I rarely use this), and the volume rocker seems like it needs to be pressed with the very tip of your fingers (this one can get somewhat annoying I can forsee).

This case covers the back well, also covering the camera (of course not covering the lenses, speaker, and LED flash). The case on the sides extend far enough so that the buttons that would usually protrude without a case are protected with this case on. The front however is not well protected, usually a case would somewhat add enough to the front as to not let the glass screen of the phone touch the object you set it on. The problem here is, apart from the screen, the front of the phone is in danger of being scratched.

What this case tries to add is style with a slim feature, although the case adds no added protection whatsoever from drops or aggressive scratches this case is more for people who just like to add a bit of zing to their phone. Another problem though is that this case has no felt or soft covering the inside of the case. The problem here is that if dirt, sand, or anything coarse gets in there it can cause scratches. To add to that also, the case is hard to take off (maybe its just me but I didn't want to force it off). I've had some cases scratch my phone when trying to remove them and I can see this case adding to that as well. I would rate this case a 5 out of 10. 5 for the style, design, and feel but a minus 5 due to the lack of protection, possible scratching, and annoyances of some parts of the case.

**This review is just MY personal opinion and should be taken as just that, an opinion. For 6 bucks you can't go wrong but at least now I have provided you with my own personal feedback to get your brain cells tingling.
[HTC EVO 3D] dteze88:
Thanks, looks like it does nothing to protect the front of the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
It doesn't, from the posted review it seems like you would be better off just applying a carbon fiber cover/sticker to the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:


Yeah no front protection whatsoever. Pretty much more for looks I'd say
[HTC EVO 3D] ext109:
I got one today and its exactly what fsalazar said. Nothing to add or correct. No front protection at all... However, I've noticed that pulling the case off is easier if you've done it a few times and (for me) the easiest way to get it off is by pulling (quite hard) at the bottom.
[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
Ya I agree I was just scared of it scratching my phone. Ill try your method and see lol. Oh yeah and ill post pictures soon!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmboulware:
Hey guys,

I just got a View and, of course, it came with HC. From what I can tell Revolutionary doesn't sport my hboot (1.14...) So I guess I'll have to register with HTC to get s-off. But, most of the threads here seen to deal with the Flyer.

What is the difference, if any, between the Flyer and the View?

Thanks,

JB

Go into the evo forums and you'll find instructions on how to root and flash hboot etc.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Flaco05:
I have a similar/related question. If you had the option of buying the Flyer Wi-Fi and the Sprint-branded View for about the same price, which one would you pick? I am not really interested in entering a contract with Sprint, so that is not a consideration. I want to base my choice on ease of updating (perhaps rooting), and availability of ICS down the road. Any advice will be appreciated!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nubyw00tz:
There is not much we can say about future updates, but I think there are more custom ROMs for the flyer. Also, if you see planning to use wifi only, you need to use airplane mode on the View, otherwise the 4g radio will drain your battery. With airplane mode, I cannot turn on Bluetooth (although others can for some reason) and the lock screen won't show shortcuts in airplane mode. Overall, I think that the flyer is a better choice, though I still love my View.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gordonzhao:
Flyer already has working ics ports, but not everything is working. As far as the comparison between the two, for me, 32 gb view vs 16 gb flyer, black on the view looks better than the flyer, yes there is more flyer support in the forum though. But going to your airplane mode part, it doesn't bother me, I use it for wifi only and can enable Bluetooth even with airplane mode on, I disabled the activation screen after boots, so that's another issue down the drain. It pretty much came down to the price & storage to be honest, for me that is. Got my view for $260 NIB, options for the flyer were in the $300 and that wasn't even new.
