[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] allansy:
I have MX Video Player on my Note. When I tried playing avi movies, i get stuck in the middle after going back to the player.

Example: I am playing Big Bang Theory avi on MX Video Player, I browsed the movie via ES File Explorer and played thru there. After let's say a few minutes of watching, I click the back button several times until i am now at my home screen. After a few minutes of doing nothing (screen switched off), i went again to file explorer to find the avi file i watched before (in my MX video player, it continues the movie where you stopped), when I clicked the avi file, it gets stuck, I cannot do anything but to long press the power button and restart my phone.

I am experiencing this problem with 4 episodes now of big bang avi files. I tried playing other files like mp4 and i have no problem with the continuation of the movie. This mp4 movie is 2.5gb worth while the avi files are less then 300mb. So i guess it is not a file size issue.

To further filter out the problem, i tried to paste this same avi files in my internal storage and same thing happened. It still get stuck. So internal or external storage are out of the question.

What is the problem then?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alejandrissimo:
I think maybe there is an error on the file, i have no problems with any hd video on mkv, mp4 or avi on Mx Video
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
sounds like bad files, you could walys try a different player such as dice player to see if it does it with that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] allansy:
Sometimes it loads well but most of the time it gets stuck. I thought if i played it directly on mx video instead of browsing it in es file explorer the problem would be resolved but same issue persists. I will try other players. Would you recommend any other than dice? I will try that one as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rahool_26:
Use Bsplayer lite. Very nice movie player.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alejandrissimo:
Mobo Player its as good as MX
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vatoe:
I use MX player and havent struck any issues with it yet. Could it be dodgy encoding of the files?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] allansy:
I tried mobo player and i haven't encountered my note getting stuck.

What i should do next is to try another avi file, maybe the big bang theory files have bad parts.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bubblesmoney:
I found dice player free version to be the best. Some files audio was not playing on mxplayer pro or I would need to select software encoding etc, sometimes should get audio lag but with dice player same files would play without issues without needing to select software encoding etc. would have bought pro version but no longer available on market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
Moboplayer plays everything. If some files don't work then put the software rendering on.

Has anyone looked at the following product for wireless charging (ala Powermat)?

It doesn't look like it outputs a lot of power, but for overnight / sitting on the work desk type of charging, it may be adequate.

www dot seeedstudio dot com/depot/wireless-power-supply-p-701.html

Would be interesting to see if it could be nicely integrated into a phone cover.

I think I will order one to play with even though I am not a developer or a hacker or anything like that! :cool:
[Hardware Hacking General] yumbrad:
I've seen charging coils like that hacked into existing devices. There are also, on the horizon, self contained batteries that have the inductive charging built in - upgrade any device to wireless charging! (any device with enough volume to justify making such a battery, anyway)
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
This definitely could work quiet well for that sort of application. I think it is a bit larger than you would hope but if you put a usb connector on the end I think it would work really well.
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Yap, but there are limitations.

Loss of energy

Less efficiency

Low amp ratings

Interference

Bulky.

Goods are

Wireless

No need of conectors that opens to external world( for devices with built in coils)

No connector problems like damaged port,loose contacts etc.
[Hardware Hacking General] DMPinBC:
That is the $64 problem! Trying to get USB connectors without the need to butcher an existing USB cable. Ideally, I would like to have a double ended USB connector - a male microUSB to plug into the phone, and a female micro or mini USB on the other end - to allow a USB cable connection between the phone or external charger. I know that I could buy from Digikey a male micro USB connector, and a female connector. But these connectors do not come with casings, so any use of them probably wouldn't look pretty without many hours of thought and effort.

I am assuming (without having this charger in my hands with the specifications) that I would probably need to have one or more diodes in-line with the receiver wires to stop external source current entering the receiver and possibly damaging it.

I haven't read up on Li-Ion cell phone batteries and how to keep them efficient. So I don't know whether these batteries can live long term on low current charging, or whether they would need higher current (as from manufacturer provided chargers) to provide efficient long term output.
[Hardware Hacking General] icenight89:
Induction charging is being used in several applications already, like WII remotes and such. The problem is, as stated above ^^^^ I'm not really sure how lithium ion batteries stand up so such charging, (almost trickle). I know that the batteries used in Wii remotes are Nickel Hydride though.
[Hardware Hacking General] onlymojo:
I have heard rumours of the device killing batteries. It would be interesting to see how much of the power actually gets to the unit. The wireless power supply you linked in your OP shows a rating of 300-400 mA. That means the average battery would take 3-4 hours to charge from dead if all that power was indeed making it's way to the battery. Not really a trickle charge is all that power makes it to the battery.
[Hardware Hacking General] ben999_:
All lithium ion battery assemblies have built in circuitry to prevent overcharging, overheating, and possible explosion/fire. The charge circuitry will turn off when fully charged and there's no penalty for topping off a LIon battery without discharging. Hacking a USB cable isn't all that complicated although may not be pretty depending on how well it's soldered together. There will always be a lump in the middle of the cable where the connections are made but you could use sleeving to hide it.
[Hardware Hacking General] ChinaElectronicsInsider:
I tried an OEM non branded wireless charger, and after 6 hours of charging, my iphone's battery only increased around 20%...
[Hardware Hacking General] genyue:
Anyone tested this on Desire HD?
[Hardware Hacking General] gdpaull:
Anyone know if this will work/has tested on a Samsung Vibrant? Thanks.
[Hardware Hacking General] gebedias:
I think this technology is still young, probably in 2/3 years it will be improved in its energy losses...
[Hardware Hacking General] giritrobbins:
I don't think time is going to make it more efficient. I think the trend in industry right now (specifically the WPC) is to define a standard, places where you would use wireless power are places where there is plenty of power.

There are a bunch of different companies that make wireless power solutions. I think that the best would be to hack together a QI compliant receiver to the USB port on your phone and then use any QI compliant mat for the transmitter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nYdGeo:
Good day! My wife has her phone rooted with the stock 4.54 ROM that was in her phone when I rooted it. Has anyone come up with a way to update her phone to the current 4.67 version without losing root?

I know that I can just get a rooted, stock 4.67 ROM and flash it, but that is going to freak her out...starting over, so to speak. I guess like a few others I'm waiting for a rooted 4.67 update for a 4.54 ROM. If anyone knows of anything that can help, it would be great. If I could just let her upgrade and then re-root it using revolutionary, I certainly would.

Thank you for your time.

Only option is to back everything up in titanium backup, mybackup root, ultimate backup pro or something similar flash a stock rooted rom and restore all the apps and data for contacts just sync to Google and SMS use SMS backup/restore from market

We are legion, for we are many
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
You could just do a nandroid, then wipe just cache & dalvik cache (I'd probably wipe boot and system too), then flash one of the stock rooted ROMs. That would preserve all the data, though it might cause some instability. But if it doesn't, you're golden. I might play around with actually putting together a rooted OTA zip, though I personally don't see a need for it. But that's a project for tomorrow.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nYdGeo:
Thanks for the input, folks. I guess I'm going to go with the full backup of everything and flash the rooted stock. She'll just have to deal with it.

Have a great day!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _TXN_:
Get Titanium or My Backup. She will lose call log and SMS. If this is an issue the get SMS backup. I flash a different ROM atleast twice per week and it is simple with Titanium. It usually puts every app back before I even open titanium. If something is missing you just go in and click restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
So, per my post above, I was able to put together a rooted version of the OTA, but there are some restrictions on its use, unfortunately. It'll only work if you are currently rooted, and haven't removed any system apps. The OTA looks for each file that needs to be patched and if one is missing, it'll error out.

If you want to try it, let me know. All you have to do is flash it in recovery, actually. It's just like any other zip.

I just got a SGSII after i sold my HD2 =(

I cant get tzones to work whatsoever. How can i erase the EFS folder ? I already backed the folder up on SD and on my computer. I have seen that this is the trick that works on using tzones/web2go. It worked fine on my HD2.

Id appreciate it !

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I think the only way to get "tzones/web2go" to work is by using a non tmobile phone... so if you can.. get a telus version or whatever they have up there.. that way you can use tzones because the tmobile versions restricts it or something...

I'm not 100% sure sooooo correct me if i'm wrong guys, but I remember reading this up before, but im not sure if it was for this device or something similar.

[Xperia Arc General] DevilsArc:
Hi Guys,

I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue with their arc.

when I upload things to Facebook from my phone, the staus in the notification bar seems to duplicate. One copy o the pic gets uploaded ok, and shows as uploaded.

But the duplicate gets stuck inthe ongoing upload are of the pull down bar and does not disappear.

the only way to get rid of this is too restart the phone, it doesnt happen all the time, just some of the time.

Is or has anyone else had this issue?

Is there a way around it other then restart??

Cheers, D

As of right now, i am on EL29. But if sprint releases a new update will i have to unroot and then accept the update and then reroot? Or can i flash a new rom with a new versions base without updating my build number? Im asking because i came from the evo 4g where your firmware didnt really matter if you were rooted. Any help is appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Updates are released. Your devs pull the update and package it up for you to flash. Just like the evo :-)

I would like to study how ROMs are being laid out. Hopefully before next month I will be able to help in testing, and maybe implementing (?)

Mr fjfalcon, can you post your links for those (libsensors, defy devtree)? I'm having a hard time looking for it. Sorry if I am acting like a newbie. Thanks!

Moize could I do this on mobile labtop not working again.

Would this be simliar to bootfix with defy senors included.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
No, you can't do that on the phone. You would need a computer setup to compile CM7 from source.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
I figured you could not do it on mobile the fix can't come from me it will have to be one of are devs.

[Milestone XT720 General] pakpaker:
If only J.Y.Daddy would also release his sources. I would start by comparing source code. Since ROMs have compiled source code, i cannot easily compare. :D I'll just make do with the xt720 source for now. Thanks! :)
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
J.Y. Daddy didn't compile. He did a binary port of nadlabak's (aka kabaldan) alpha preview CM9 for Milestone (A853): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445209 You can compare the original and ported versions to study what J.Y. Daddy changed.

Nadlabak's tree is at http://github.com/nadlabak. I don't think anyone's set up a CM9 tree for XT720.

Edit: hey, wait a minute? Do XT720 ROM's run on XT800W?
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
I throught it did what's the point?
[Milestone XT720 General] pakpaker:
I haven't tried flashing an XT720 ROM straight to my XT800W, but if I am right, they have minimal differences in hardware (as of now I am inspecting).

I'll try flashing an XT720 ROM straight later :)

Thanks for the clarification, that helps me to know where to start :D

Update: Don't flash an XT720 ROM into an XT800W, the recovery for the latter is also overwritten. JUST DON'T. Now I have a brick to fix :))
[Milestone XT720 General] peshovec:
fjfalcon has ics branch

about recovery, sorry hope you will make it live again (may be it will be good idea, to create update with your "orenrecovery" and to "update" it after other updates...
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
I sent you a pm I will try to get you unstuck.

P.S if senors work on cm9 it would be okay.
[Milestone XT720 General] pakpaker:
Just unstuck myself using this: http://bbs.hiapk.com/thread-1242662-1-1.html and have replied to your PM. Thanks for all the support guys! :)

Before I flashed CM 9 for xt720, I flashed CM 9 for xt800w. It works almost all fine except for the camera of course.

@mchlbenner: sensors = proximity / compass / accelerometer ? Looks like they work for the xt800w, straight from the ROM itself. Maybe it's because the hardware used for the A853 is practically the same for the xt800w.

And the J.Y.Daddy uploaded ROMs for CM9 have their debug.sf.nobootanimation set to 0. So might as well for those who will test set this to 1 first.

I'd look into that. I am just overwhelmed at the info I am learning right now, I don't know where to start. :D

And I lived! Big thanks to google translate for helping me to understand the above posted website :)
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
It does us no good I don't think he has plans to build anytime soon.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prashanthme:
The following are the METHODS i tried and found battery lasted for around 21-24HRs(Including msging,calls, 3g, Maps)...

1.Use CPU Tuner app.

--> If u hav a rooted phone use this app and be cool it ll take care as the battery runs out means it switches to different profiles as the battery goes down.. It has Many profiles like performance,power save,extreme power save. and governor like full speed,normal and battery save. So choose ur profile manually or leave the app to choose. It also switches the profile when screen OFF saving battery..(Caution: If hav OC kernel,it might use the full OC speed,so keep an eye on it!!!!).

Conclusion: saves battery upto 25%-30%.. Also saves ur time for switching.

2.Use minimal brightness,set backlight off to 30sec or 15 sec if ur not using much.

3.Switch off Auto Sync(Settings->Accounts & Sync->Auto Sync). U can also untick Background Data if ur not using MARKET or any other Google APP which is based on DATA transmission.

4.Settings > Location and security > Use wireless networks- Untick when not using Google Maps.. Also Disable GPS..

5. During Night time switch to airplane mode it saves a lot and lot battery(Some apps are available for this)... i never tried Sleep mode..

5. Most important one!! Turn it off and spend some time with family & friends.. There r more things special than phone ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pyronia:

With a normal usage, always connected via 3g I can get eight hours of battery life. Almost double it if I use wifi.

I could disconnect my data connection from time to time and improve my battery life, but this is not the point of owning a smartphone.

The only reasons why 3G and WiFi would create excessive battery drain would be if they weren't particularly strong signals. For example I can only get 2G where I am, but if I could get a stable WiFi it would IMPROVE my battery life, with my phone not constantly hunting for data connections.
