I'm selling my galaxy s II	cause I simply prefer the Razr n with that money I will get my self the LG 4x

I wouldn't buy another GS2, that thing is hideous. I sold my first one and was happy in doing so. I don't care about screen size or processor power, WP7 has shown me that that stuff is primarily a gimmick and is largely unnecessary. I want a device that's aesthetically pleasing and sturdy. As long as it's powerful enough to emulate an SNES my gaming concerns are non-existent. It just seems most android manufacturers are concerned strictly with screen size and processor power rather than the overall quality of the device.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with htc. From the dash to the titan I'm just unimpressed. As far as Android goes, I'd only use Motorola or Sony. Nokia is king for hardware and htc feels like a huge downgrade hardware-wise. I think they put too much emphasis on processor and screen size and not enough on quality.

[Streak 5 Accessories] wekuri:
Are there upgrade screens for replacing LCD

Three related things here.

1. Is there an upgrade LCD available for the Dell Streak 5. Is there a higher resolution, more pixels per inch LCD screen that can work in Dell Streak 5 with its factory based 16M colors, 480 x 800 pixels, 5.0 inches, ~187 ppi pixel density?

2. My screen broke in a weird way. One day, I was in the middle of talking with my friend on my Dell Streak 5 and the screen began to roll and scroll fast and non-stop...like a broken vertical hold on old TV sets. The rolling screen goes from the home key area, scrolls-rolls horizontally and does not stop even after factory resets. So I am considering to replace the screen per chance, the damage is not software related and it is caused by the hardware of the screen. The phone was not dropped or banged or anything...it just began scrolling while I was having a telephone conversation. If I buy a new screen, I would like to buy an improved LCD.

3. Does anyone have success with HDMI out for duplicating the Dell Streak 5 screen? There is the official Dell Dock which I can only get to reproduce limited video through the HDMI. I also am about to test the Dell Streak 10 Pro now has HDMI and USB-host ports - but my guess it will not work or even connect to the Dell 5. http://www.streaksmart.com/2011/11/...-usb-host-ports-thanks-to-dell-accessory.html

Hearing your thoughts on repair or upgrade is greatly appreciated. Thanx.

My Galaxy Ace can not animate gif-Smilies. I know that is not a big Problem, but i just only want to know the reason, why gif-Smilies are not animated on my Ace.

Please help.

Hi, first sorry for my english ;) I'm not a developper, I know nothing about developping an app, but my wish is that someone can developpes a miui launcher like, with improvment!

Like :

- dock slide

- shrink or grow app icon

- landscape rotation

- create a folder like iOS does (and of course "see" all the app contain in, on the icon)

Is there any of you can do.that?! Thanks a lot for your answers ! :)

You can install different themes for making the app drawer look nice!

HERE you can find different themes for Go Launcher!

If you like ICS theme, install ICS theme for Go Launcher by Kovdev!

You can change the size of the icons in Go Launcher. Just hit the menu button - Preferences - Visual Setting - Icons - Icon Size. You can make the icons Larger or even create a custom size depending on what size you like :-)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vamci07:
I've Galaxy nexus, and the market is updated to Play store (latest android market). I've Codename Android ICS version installed. Need help installing apps from Play store which say "Not supported in your country". I installed 'Market enabler', and pointed it to T-mobile US, Verizon US, but still no use. Can someone please help me with this?

Having the same issues here ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
You should probably email the app creator instead of asking here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vamci07:
I was asking if there's any alternative for market enabler which works with Play store...plz suggest
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
theres no alternative to that just yet...

if you really just want to uninstall apps just do it thru settings > apps ot download titanium backup and uninstall them from there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreatBigDog:
Goto

Settings - apps - All - Google Play store

Clear casche and then force stop

Run market enabler to fake whatever provider you want then restart the play store.

Worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatelord:
It worked for actually buying the apps ?

or just displaying them ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GreatBigDog:
to purchase apps you need to have a Google wallet account registered somewhere that actually supports purchasing apps from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caribbean_spur:
Hi I have a question following what you said. I have a friend who wants to buy a app but he can't do it in his country. He said he found the .apk but somehow it still could not work. So I was thinking maybe he needs Market enabler. If he has it and I buy the app and give him the .apk file, could he then install the app?

Thanks
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciurius:
I frequently have a freeze-up of my A101IT (UrukDroid 1.6.4) during standby. I assume there's a service that tries to do something with the network that may or may not be available at that time.

Since the freezes seem not to occur when the device is in deep sleep, and there's nothing that it has to do when on standby, I was wondering whether it is possible to have standby *always* go deep sleep.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarge425:
It is definently possible on stock firware. Go to Settings->about device->power management. But your problem may not be raleted to sleep, because software is not running when device is in sleep mode.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NFSP G35:
Mine seems to do something very similar (if not the same)

Sometimes it sits just fine (had it on all night and screen came right up in the morning) but other times, it will just lock up out of the blue.

One thing I've noticed is that when it does, it makes a click or pop noise from the speaker.

Does yours make any noise, or just lock up???

I'm running Bull RC2.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drf666:
That noise is a known issue running Gingerbread "BULL".

It is supposed to be fixed on the source repository, but until there's a new release, it's up to us to download and compile.

I haven't succeeded on my side to compile it (fatal compilation errors), so I'll patiently wait for the next release. My guess is that CyanogenMod repository has some changes breaking the patches needed for Archos.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx118:
(off topic)

No it should just build. Patches are uptodate with CM source.

If you have problems building, post them in the CM7 thread or join irc. Maybe I can help.

[Windows Phone 7 General] PsyCLown89:
Hi all,

So I have an HTC Mozart. I have recently put 2 MP4 files on my phone to watch. I tried to watch them and they play, the audio is fine but the video jumps between (depending on the video) either green blocks or gray blocks which make watching the video impossible as you only see a frame every 3/4 seconds or so.

The video is x264 and the audio is AAC. Any ideas why I am having this problem? How to resolve it? You can see which ROM I am using in my signature.

Does anybody else have this issue?

Thanks

Also mods, I posted this originally in the Mozart section but I think the WP7 section is more appropriate. If you could please close/remove the thread here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Just be thankful you got any video of any kind working.

I have yet to have anything work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] henry084:
I have the same situations as you have.

Meanwhile, I have gone through some of the articles about H264 encoding and I have found there is a key parameter "Reframes" which may cause the chip/decoder cannot decode the video correctly. When the value "Reframes" is over 6 (my guess, 5 should be barely acceptable), the limitations of the chip come across and cause decoding errors.

This happens not only to WP7 devices, but also to PSP and possibly other portable devices, though the behaviour may not be showing green/grey blocks but unable to open, etc.

You may check this parameter by opening the file in MPC (Media Player Classic) and click "Properties" after right click when playing.

But there is no way to change the "Reframes" without re-encoding the video, as it is the number of reference frames which is used to calculate the initial frame reproduction.:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] PsyCLown89:
Hmm, ok. Damn. That sucks. I think you can force Zune to re encode the video files, prolly give that a try. Has always worked fine when Zune re-encodes the avi files to WMV.

Thanks

Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] henry084:
There is no way to force Zune to re-encode the MP4 H264 video in different "Reframes", and you have to do it with the help of other encoding software.

However, the encoding process is slow even in quad core PCs, so have your time and good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I didn't want to post this in the CM9 dev thread because it is not dev related.

First off..

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/security-and-you

So this is what I am thinking.. The CM team is not just going to come out and say "This is how we get around Google's (and other's) 'you can't use this app if your device is rooted' thing".. But if you can disable/enable root with a setting it seems to me you wont have to worry about not being able to access certain apps, or features of apps, because of root.

Example: My "Horrible Bosses" BD came with a digital copy only accessible through the Flixster app. Because of the "security risks" Flixster will only let you view/download the movie on non-rooted devices. The simple fix to this was to download OTArootkeeper (which is an awesome app), the app essentially is a switch to enable/disable root access. Turn root off, Flixster never knows the difference.

It seems to me CM has just integrated this feature into their ROM, and maybe improved upon it. Any time an app (Flixster, Google Video & even maybe Google Wallet) will not work because you are on a rooted device, just turn it off. I have even heard of some people that cannot access databases at work because of root, seams like the same thing applies here.

So what do y'all think? Does this sound like a legitimate thought? Obviously being rooted is a security risk, and CM is becoming more mainstream. But still.. Do you think I am that far off? And do you think the "feature" will function just like I have described it? Just came to get you opinions on this change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Sounds like you've hit the nail on the head there, although I don't see why company's don't want you consuming there content if your rooted.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Why does root matter? I am rooted and can rent movies from the market with no issue. Yet people say video is blocked for rooted users. It just worked for me. Maybe cause i am rooted on stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Possibly, the last time I tried I got shot down. I'm not sure which of the root option(s) the Market looks for (?). Want to test, but can't find a movie I want to see just yet.

... possible advantage: have a phone manufacturer use CM as their firmware? yes....? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigacgomez:
This was actually mentioned sometime earlier... a month or 2 ago... the idea was that if the ROM provided the best level of customization, root really should not be needed for the average user... but the ROM would still have the option to enable root if the user wanted too...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's the problem though. The average user would not know what root is and activate it and would do something to their phone that would cause problems. U.S. carriers will not like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
I wonder if Tasker or llama could be setup to turn root off when a particular app runs?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Here is a video of the feature in action:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mRyE10eKzqE

Its strange to me that some people are reporting root not affecting Google Video. I haven't tried it on my Nexus, between TiVo Netflix and Redbox there is no reason for me to, but on my Atrix when Video first released I remember it saying I couldnt use the app because my device was rooted..

Those of you able to use the Google Videos app on a rooted device, what root method did you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
LMAO...I almost fell out of my chair reading that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I bet it is custom roms are blocked, not root. Cause i am rooted on stock and rent many movies without issue. I rooted with the command line unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Haven't tested but apparently ota root keeper addresses this. The Market looks for SU binaries or alike. If you've got Superuser, then your theory is likely the correct one.

Edit: just tested, disabled root and was able to dl, but Play Movie fc's. Will fiddle some more.

Edit again: no luck, cleared app cache, rebooted, uninstalled/reinstalled, etc... Play Movie still FC's.

Edit part trois: tested on my other favorite ROM with ota rootkeeper and still getting fc on Play Movie. I am able to dl the movie without root warning in all cases however.

Movies and YouTube both up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naddie:
I'm using CM9 nightlies on my GSM GNex, and Google Wallet still says my device is not supported.

I turned off root, and made sure that debug mode is off. I rebooted the phone, and same thing.

I wonder if it doesn't like running on a custom ROM, or perhaps once it sees you've been rooted once, it will always see it as rooted, even if root is disabled.
