[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tempie007:
tried it , unfortunally no sound on most of my mkv's.

Dice player does a better job, way more codecs supported and equal network performance, rockplayer seems to build up a bigger buffer, at the beginning it may look like its more stable but after a while both are laging .. (high profile 1080)

what's up with all the lagging ? wifi performance not good enough or is the SOC not capable of streaming and decoding all at once? no problems from sdcard ..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vakbrain:
Dice player works great with mkv movies with DTS and AC3 audio on my TF201. Dice player is the best way to stream movie using a NAS Imo.

tested with dlink dns-323 and stock tf201.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
Wifi performance is the issue for me. If i'm sitting next to the router 1080p plays fine. If I go to other rooms(even adjacent rooms) then it will stutter periodically. It really impairs one of the primary uses that I wanted the Transformer Prime for. As of now I use Plex to transcode to a smaller bitrate :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fmstrat:
Interesting, I've had the exact opposite impressions with Rockplayer having more HW decoding support. In any event, I'm stupid for not testing audio.

I've updated the first post based on discussions with the developers of Rockplayer, and will do a re-work of this guide focusing on both solutions once it is released and we can test.

Thanks,

Ben
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
I haven't tried Rockplayer. However, I get excellent results with Diceplayer. I stream all 720p and most 1080p .mkv using estrongs file explorer. Some 1080p will get lag. Just depends on the bit rate your 1080p video is encoded at, and your WIFI connection speed.

I actually just run an entire home PC with Win 7 Ultimate on it for my movie collection. I just RJ45 it right to my Wireless router. That way I can stream all of my movies to any device in my home. I have quite a few WDTV lives hooked up to all my tv's in my house. So it works out great.

Plus once in awhile If a 1080p video isn't playing well on my prime. I convert it using airvideo. I have airvideo server running on the Win 7 server. (those that have an ipad 2 that is) Have this option. You simply load airvideo on your ipad 2. Select the .mkv you want to convert to .m4v and add it to quere. Airvideo has all the conversion and bitrate methods built in the program. So I don't have to mess with jumping on Win 7 machine. Loading a conversion program and blah blah. I have yet to find an Android program that compares to Airvideo. If someone has suggestion let me know. (Yes, I have tried PLEX). Just can't beat the Live Conversion and simple conversion in Airvideo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pastry:
Yeah i get the same thing happening to me randomly.

Using mx player and es file explorer, maybe 15 or 20 mins into watching, the player will just quit by itself. Doesnt happen always though, maybe twice for every 5 vids i play.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
I'm amazed you think going through all that is better than PLEX. With PLEX you just load the app and select the movie... Done. For bonus it also works when you're away from home and want to watch a movie even tethered through 3G
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Well, I will try Plex again. I haven't tried it in awhile. Alot of movies I don't have any problem with. Its only the high bit rate 1080p mkv's. I know Plex does Live conversion as well. Perhaps they have improved it since I last used it. One feature i did think was cool with plex was how it catagorized your movie collection for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
Another nice thing about Plex is that you can choose not to do live transcoding and just stream the original video(silly wifi bandwidth allowing). But, that does bring me to my one complaint about Plex. You cannot directly stream the original video if it is mkv, it will always transcode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GernBlanston:
In my experience:

If you want to avoid transcoding, then rooting + CIFS support really is the best, most efficient way, imho...plus, you're killing multiple birds with one stone, as file types not recognized by ES or other file explorers that support SAMBA, but which are supported by various apps on your tablet, will still work with whatever app you're using to interact with them.

Otherwise, this guide is good for playback without transcoding for some files. I'm able to stream some of my bluray and HD DVD rips (full bitrate mkv's with no down-sampling, de-rezzing, additional compression or detail removal) without transcoding, but high-bitrate titles such as The Empire Strikes Back hitch frequently. Don't know if that's a limitation of my wireless setup, tho).

On the transcoding side:

Emit free works fine. It's a little easier, imho, to set up remote file sharing that even Plex is, if you have to set up port forwarding manually on your router, as the instructions are pretty explicit about which ports it's using and how to get it set up. And, it's free.

Plex works fine, and cross-compatibility between Ipad and Android on the Plex server side, along with the cataloging, support for file types such as .wtv, and the channels concept, is pretty damn cool imho. You have to look around if your setup falls outside the norm as far as port forwarding manually is concerned, but if you don't experience issues, getting set up with a myPlex account for remote streaming is pretty straightforward. Transcoding looks pretty stellar if you can support anything above 4 mbps on your wireless, and it doesn't take a lot of CPU horsepower to do live streaming, either. I have an older AMD processor in my HTPC, and I stream 1080i .wtv files all day long to both my Prime and my wife's Ipad with no or extremely little stutter, and all my bluray rips play without issue. .WTV files can be played back while they're being recorded, and while watching something else on the HTPC, too...oh, and combine this with a Windows Media Center control app, and you can basically watch live tv on the Prime...just browse the guide, set a show to record, and you can watch it almost immediately in Plex, while it's recording.

Last, but not least, Splashtop THD or whatever the newer version is, actually works pretty damn well on my office rig, which is nvidia-equipped. .wtv files work as well, but you have to set your machine to open them by default in WMP instead of Windows Media Center.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sm625614:
Don't worry, this is not a what is the best kernel question. However it is similar. I have tired all the kernels, speed mod neak redpill syihah phenomannal. With certain kernels such as neak, speedmod, phenomanal, high get a really high Android OS usage. I have read this is just a reporting error however it seems the battery drains alot when in standby. This is not a waklock problem because i dont have any in the battery usage graph and in better battery stats. Does anyone know how to eliminate this in speedmod as it is my favourite kernel.

My last question is what is the best kernel for standby battery drain, i only use my phone around one hour of display time per day. With speedmod i drain around 3 percent a hour without doing anything and again their are no wakelocks.

If you could provide any insite that would be great.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
It depends too many variables can affect stand by, type of data your on, your signal strength, and such. Only true way of finding it out is to experiment with different kernels and governors. Try use a governor which sleeps well like lulzactive or similar. They have suspend profiles when screen is off, or can achieve something similar with setcpu and setting a screen off profile with conservative.

Allows a good few charge cycles to judge its performance as battery settles.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sm625614:
Yeah i use the KL1 modem with redpill then one im using right now their is only conservative ondemand hyper and sleepy which is the best for standby
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I can't answer that as not used that kernel I myself use only ondemand and works out fine for me. Try out conservative and see how that fares.

After testing several kernels i found that SIYAH 2.6.9 for Gingerbread and Siyah v3.0beta6 for ICS are tremendous on standby and you can see the low Android os consumption (varies between 3% to 10%)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
for me siyah workd well with very less andriod os drain but the newer versions ,i am not satisfied cause its heating up more...iam experimenting all kernels ,i was on redpill latest and it workd well,wivout any setcpu,gov,tweaks etc...since 3 days on saiyah 2.6.14+ an its giving good results like the os drain is less than 10.....an iam not on any gov ,tweaks but ill b trying uv,gov twek .....

and yes for reminder iam heavy duty wiv 385+ apps:eek:

Hi.

I tried updating my Samsung Galaxy S to the latest firmware using Kies (all official), as it was updating i got this message: "disconnect the cable, then battery, then replace battery and turn on and then try again"

So i followed the given steps and i get this screen:

I searched on this forum and found a thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1134975) which i followed and lead me to this screen:

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Exe557:
After you do "DISABLE BATTERY DISCHARGE" it can happen that the screen will turn off and it will not come back after you press power button. Then you have to press power button for more then 4 seconds to force shutdown. After it should be possible to power up again.

I left it charging for like half a day and still nothing, Ive sent it in to Lenovo repair. Hopefully when I get it back again It'll be good :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] wyldkard:
If the O2x gets an official ICS update and is ported to G2x, this phone will be good for 1-2 more years. Its somewhat future-proof even though it got EOL'ed and no driver support from nVidia.

If you ate unpatient, summer of fall would be a good time to upgrade. Maybe HTC One S. Maybe SGS3 or G4x or Nexus if TMO gets em.

Or go with an unlocked alternative.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Great perspective!

I would almost trade my g2x for another g1 if I didnt have 1 already for the kids to play on. Crazy how the g1 is still rockin out 4 yrs later even with ics, thanks to our awesome devs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Honestly, this is one of the best phones to this date. The processor is fast, the hardware is great, and the community made it into an even better phone.

If it doesn't get ICS, I'll probably get a phone that does by Summer. If it does, probably by Winter/Xmas. Its a great phone and I love it, but I feel the need for a slightly bigger screen. 4.3 inches would be great, 4.5 if the reso is atleast qHD. Also, this phones specs still compete with some of today's high end, like coming out with a front facing VGA camera, or just an LCD instead of a IPS display.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] thefulleffect89:
There's some things about the g2x that will be outdated for sure come this summer or even fall/winter. But, the hardware on the inside is so good that I can see myself using this phone for 1-2 more years really. I am also still a believer that nVidia will also release the drivers eventually. I am probably crazy for thinking this but I think its gonna happen. In which case this will be the new g1. The phone that is crazy good quite possibly forever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
Cellphones have become miniature PCs, and just like Desktop or laptop PCs the only reason to upgrade is when new "must have" software comes out that needs more processing power, and what's been driving this need to upgrade to more powerful computer hardware has always been videogames.

This will very much be the case with the G2x, at the moment the power potential of this cellphone has only begun to be tapped into. The G2x can push almost any videogame and app on the market at high enough frames per second to give an immersive experience. And within the coming year, developers will have plenty of experience programming for the Tegra 2 that games that have been in development for sometime now will blow you away when it's released, and this knowledge of the Tegra architecture will trickle down to less demanding software apps that will also have that "wow!" factor.

I say about 2 more years before videogame developers tap out the power of Tegra 2, before they start coming out with games and apps that will require the more powerful Tegra 3.

Hey fellow XDA's, I know that a lot of people are having issues with the call audio bug or echo in the current ICS Skyrocket ports. I recall reading somewhere of a possible solution and just thought I would make a thread for it here. If this is not the right place or if there is a better place please let me know. Anyways, here it is:

While in call, tap the menu button and disable noise cancelation. Seems to work for me every time.

If this seems worthy of a thanks, please give one!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oldfield16:
That never worked for me, my only solution was to remove the case I was using. Without a case on the device, it worked fine.

There was also no echo with speakerphone on. Or bluetooth. The very moment I switched to cm7 the echoing stopped completely.

Case = call echoing. I even cut into the rubber near the mic and everything, somehow on ics, sound travels thru ur case and back into the mic.. It's beyond confusing to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
I am having a problem too when people I talk to hear an echo. I read your solution before and it didnt helped me at all, and I dont have a case for this phone anyways so o know it is not a case causing it

now im back to gingerbread because of that bug. I wish somebody can really bypass this bug
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
For the majority of people (myself included) having/not having a case doesn't have any effect on this phone.

Also the the noise reduction feature helps somewhat but even with it turned on, people I'm talking to can still hear their voice echo unfortunately. I'm sure the devs are working on it as we speak so I'm sure there will be a workaround at some point!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] intricatedesign:
Perhaps ^^ that was a typo but I said that turning noise cancellation OFF helped. Not turning it on...

Also, in regards to the case being at fault, I am sure that my experience and finding has nothing to do with a case, it is a shame that we all have the same phone but my phone seems to be unique in the sense that turning off the noise cancelation completely fixes my call issue. strange.

There is definately a case issue...when i was on stock rom with case people would complain about the echo and while in call i could take off the case and callers would report that the exho was gone.
