I noticed when I watch a video and my prime screen goes off or I manually turn off upon waking the video won't move and then locks up and reboots. Any ideas? Anyone else have this issue? I can replicate it everytime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I also had one or two reboots because of video playback. Once with MX video player and once with a flash stream.

Its a software issue (probably gpu kernel) and will get fixed sooner or later :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
More info please. What video player are you using? I been using Diceplayer for months now and haven't had any of those issues. Streaming 1080p video from my home server and its working great.

Are you streaming the video? Playing from sdmicro? What video player?

What firmware?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCapcom:
Latest firmware any player dice mx or stock and its from microsd. Try playing a video then pause it and turn screen off wait a bit turn back on and try resuming. That's the only time it happens,if its on I have no issues

I have read all the forums telling me how to downgrade. Nothing is working at the moment. I have been rooted before using gingerbreak. I downgraded to 3.1, and rooted my tablet and update to 3.2.1 about a week later it reverted to 3.1 and kept foce closing. So now im at 3.2.1 and would like to root. Loaded the needed zip file on Sd and i hold the volume down button and power i see the android logo with a triangle with a ! in the middle. Any help would be appreciated

How do you change the DNS, not for wifi, but for mobile data? Does it improve browsing performance?

Here is what I found out, thanks to zeppelinrox, on how to change the DNS for the droid charge, you can use script manager to run it every hour or 2 since if you loose connection or whatever the DNS will revert back to verizon. You can use whatever DNS you want. You can put it in the init folder but you need too add a sleep time like sleep 30 or longer play around with it and after reboot go to myresolver.info to check if the settings went through. The script below changes wifi, 3G and 4G DNS

#!/system/bin/sh

setprop dhcp.tiwlan0.dns1 208.67.222.222

setprop dhcp.tiwlan0.dns2 208.67.220.220

setprop net.ppp0.dns1 208.67.222.222

setprop net.ppp0.dns2 208.67.220.220

setprop net.dns1 208.67.222.222

setprop net.dns2 208.67.220.220

setprop net.rmnet0.dns1 208.67.222.222

setprop net.rmnet0.dns2 208.67.220.220

setprop net.pdpbr1.dns1 208.67.222.222

setprop net.pdpbr1.dns2 208.67.220.220
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
See this ;) I would follow the instructions for manually changing the info as the CWM zips may not work for the Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
I did the changes, but it seems they don't stick after reboot, would the following commands work if I put them in a script for the init.d folder?

setprop ro.kernel.android.ndns 2

setprop net.eth0.dns1 208.67.222.222

setprop net.eth0.dns2 208.67.220.220
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Edit the file /system/etc/ppp/ip-up and change the lines specified. That should allow the changes to stick through a reboot, and will take effect anytime you enable/disable the data connection.
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
I did, just thought that the ip-up would keep the DNS addresses, but after reboot I checked the file again and the file reverted to the original without the addresses. That's why I assumed they didn't stick. But since I did then is ok. Is there a way to check in terminal what DNS are you using?

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Make sure that /system is mounted as read-write and that you saved the file. Otherwise, it will revert (or not save at all). To check to see if it worked, I would navigate to http://myresolver.info and it will tell you the DNS address you used. Then, you may just need to look at the hostname for the DNS ip to figure out if it worked as most places use anycast now to route you to the closest host.
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
That's probably what happened, I didn't do it with root explorer, I'll try again. Thanks!

I doubt it will make your browser go faster. Try xscope browser see if it's faster. If it is then nothing to do with DNS, but something is funky with your stock browser/phone.

It won't make the connection faster, but it will likely speed up DNS lookups (and reliability) which can make things seem faster.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Editing /system/etc/ppp/ip-up didn't work for me either. I verified that the file saved properly, but on reboot or airplane mode toggle, everything returned to default. I even added a bogus setprop in ip-up as a test. After cycling airplane mode, running getprop didn't show my bogus entry. It's almost as if /system/etc/ppp/ip-up isn't being called at all.

[edit: Once I dropped to 1X service (my signal sucks at work), my bogus setprop entry showed up. I had already pulled out my custom DNS entries from while I was testing, but I thought this was rather interesting. So it appears that /system/etc/ppp/ip-up is only called when dropping to 1X service. I could be entirely wrong, though.]
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
Isn't this type of change asking for trouble? Assuming the two ip addresses shown are verizon's, what happens when they change? What happens when verizon reorgs their networks? Isn't it safest to take all of the DHCP settings verizon pushes to you?

My apologies if I missed the obvious here but I always use the DNS servers my WAN provider assigns and change them when they instruct me to. And yes, it has actually happened. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It sounds like you may be confused about what DNS does. It is the system that converts a name, like www.google.com, to an IP address that your computer can actually use. Google's IP addresses aren't different for Verizon than they are for Sprint or AT&T or Comcast or anyone else. It's the same with anyone else. DNS is a universal system that returns the same output for the same input regardless of what server you are using. The problem is that a lot of ISP run DNS servers are poorly configured, poorly maintained pieces of trash. That's why public servers like OpenDNS or Google DNS exist. They are far more reliable, and often far quicker than your ISP DNS server. I haven't used my ISP's DNS servers in a decade. Prior to OpenDNS, I ran my own DNS server.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The only thing you'll loose is the backup VZW DNS server. The only two things that I've found that you need VZWs DNS info for are OTA updates and MMS as they use internal hostname info that Verizon doesn't share. That is why you can't change both of them.

As far as your home ISP and them asking you to change DNS servers, several people have "lost" there internet connection at home because the ISP DNS servers are junk, and almost no one switches them from the default ever. This was a huge issue for Comcast a few years ago, and I know that other ISPs have had issues with reliability as well as updating DNS info so that it points to the correct location. OpenDNS and Google tend to update their info faster, and also offer faster lookups for names than ISP DNS servers, despite the fact that you have to go out of network to contact them.
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
Ok so I did the correct procedure to change the DNS, it maintained the change through reboots, but when I go to the website you mentioned with 4g connection, it didn't show the opendns addresses I added to the IP-up file.

Your IP address

2600:1004:b000:6d7:0:2:6cc7:8901 (?)

The source IP address of your DNS recursive resolver

66.174.95.212 (?)

I'll have to look at it as it may setup the 4G connection differently. I do know that it worked quite well for me on the Fascinate and on my Charge for 3G.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
The problem with an init.d script is that the settings will be overwritten whenever you change networks. Any change between 3G, 4G, and WiFi triggers a DNS reset.

I resigned to just using SetDNS to change my DNS settings automatically.
[Verizon Droid Charge] maurogg84:
Setting the sleep time of 20 seconds makes the script work at boot. I tried to use setDNS and it didn't work to change the DNS for the 4g connection and it ran like every 5 seconds so no, another option is to use script manager and set up a schedule and run the script every 30 minutes or whatever is convenient.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stesweeney26:
set DNS

For anyone still wondering about this set DNS does change dns for 3g/4g but only if your device is rooted. I use it to watch american netflix in the uk. It works fine on the google DNS which is already in the app as standard or you can put a custom dns if you prefer. Hope this helps someone

If there's someone interested on a similar app, but for KitKat, I wrote "Override DNS for KitKat". It's in the Play Store and does the same thing of setDNS, but works on Android 4.4. It requires root.

Well... that "text notification" on the lock screen is Missed It! from the Market. The user is using that in conjunction with Widget Locker. For mClock, make sure you are extracting the .zip file and then only placing that folder in the mClock folder in /sdcard/mClock/FolderName. (i.e., not the zip, just the extracted contents).

Soo... this is the Android Market with a new name (removing "Android") that is meant to be used on all devices, with Android Apps being 3rd in the list of things you can buy. Oh, and they have an iOS app now to slowly siphon their users once they buy stuff.

Also, does anyone know what tablet this is?

[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Google on Tuesday introduced Google Play, a cloud-based service formed from the merger of Android Market, Google Music, and Google eBookstore. It's Google's take on Apple's iTunes Store, with a dash of iCloud.

Edit: I haven't been able to upload my screenshots through the app, have to go on pc
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
I read the article and TBH I still dont get it. Nothing new that I didn't know. Does Google want more people to know about its Market features? I really just dont get what they merged? The market looks the same on my phone as it did before. The market via pc browser didnt change either, so I dont know what the big fuss is.. If someone can explain so my retarded ass gets it that would be much appreciated..
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
OK, I'm going to give this a shot:

1. "The unified store as an effort to eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices."

2. "Google Play is entirely cloud-based so all your music, movies, books, and apps are stored online, always available to you, and you never have to worry about losing them or moving them again,"

3. Compete with Itune store.

4. The interface maybe similar to Market, but the way they store their content and how you retrieve them and the anywhere/anyplace availability is the key.

Example1 for item 1: You have 1000 songs store on your SD card and you back them up in your PC. 2 days later you down load 20 more songs from the Market but using your PC, now you need to sync these songs to your phone. Nope, not with Google play, all your songs are stored online, you can sync these songs directly to your phone.(eliminate the hassle of moving files between computers and syncing devices.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
My music was cloud based. I dont know about movies or books because I never bought so I couldnt tell you. It just seems to me that they are highlighting features that have always been there..
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
That's the whole idea, it will work for everyone. In your case only music cloud base, other people may have movies or books or what ever. With Google play, it's one place cloud storage. How about other items that I listed??
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
NICE! I know most of ppl think this is stupid but I think Google is making a right move. But if they don't keep up, they will fall behind and so is their business.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hindle1225:
Google is continuing they're progression. Setting themselves up to be the future one stop shop for communication and entertainment.

I like to watch it unfold but I don't care for how invasive Google will eventually be with our information. In Europe you can send Google a letter asking them for all your history with Google services. One gentleman had 15,000 pages sent to him from Google. Google isn't legally obligated to do so in the US.

if your phone is rooted, it will not allow you to rent movies straight to your phone. I was able to get it start playing when I put the browser into desktop mode on the link it posts, but it just keeps loading. Anyone have any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kakistocrat:
If you are rooted, DO NOT USE GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES.

Google does not allow movies to play on rooted phones, citing licensing issues (though I'm not really sure what having root access has to do with pirating movies).

If you have bought or rented a movie that you haven't watched yet, you can submit a support ticket requesting a refund. I got my refund within a few hours of complaining, so at least they're good about that.

In protest, I will no longer be making any music, movie, or book purchases from Google. I also changed all my privacy settings for my Google account to be least beneficial to Google (ie: no customized ads, etc). I'd like to see all root users that are pissed off by this move do the same. It seems perhaps Google doesn't realize just how many of us there are.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
...you buy your media?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
That's been the case since Google allowed movie renting on their store. Honestly, I don't think it's Google's choice. The movie studios probably have a strong voice when it came to this choice. I'm guessing the movie studios believe that if you're rooted, it'd be easier to get passed the DRM they put in place.

I honestly don't care since I don't watch movies from the Play Store. The majority of Android users most likely never root their phones, thus they don't "lose out" on this option.
