I thought about streaming, but I recently changed wireless carriers and went from 6 GB of data per month to 500 MB, so I have to be extra careful (I activated 3 days ago and I'm already about to go over, so imagine with music).

I hate creating playlists or changing music every so often, I usually get random trips throughtout the day and want to listen to a specific song. I guess I'll have to make due with that, though.

Thanks for your help y'all! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK0097:
Try to convert to eAAC+. This codec have the best quality/bitrate-ratio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cedrikfd:
I'll check this out, thank you! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
I convert all my FLAC to 150k AAC (variable bitrate)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cedrikfd:
I've just converted 1 063 songs from 11.3 GB down to 1.72 GB, and quality is still more than decent.

The compression rate is simply retarded, I now feel like my 16 GB phone turned into a 160 GB iPod, just because of that codec lol

Thanks again dude, really appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bnguyen1983:
Its great but pulling data all day with data caps and its a battery drainer doesnt add huge cons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cedrikfd:
Actually...

Not THAT good, I hadn't tried any bass heavy songs, but just did and doesn't sound too well. I'll try to convert to eAAC+ again but at a higher rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Do all players support it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
let us know how you make out i'm interested in the results ... I was pretty sure AAC was the only real alternative to mp3 in a lossy codec, it produces a smaller in size file with a higher quality ... you probably have to set the bit rate about the same or slightly less than 192kbs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cedrikfd:
I don't know if all players supports it, but the Music 4.0 from Google does. I would assume something like PowerAMP or WinAMP supports it as well (I converted them through WinAMP on my PC)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
eAAC+ is ALWAYS going to sound like **** at any bitrate if you have ears.

Use something like 150K LC-AAC ("normal" AAC)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
he probably has ears! lol

here is a good read to draw a conclusion from

http://www.musicbanter.com/general-...mats-mp3-ogg-m4a-etc-quality-comparisons.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matt08642:
tl;dr: Use a modern codec (Ogg Vorbis, AAC, LAME MP3) at a bitrate >128Kbps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferrnando:
I've converted my mp3 files to HE-AAC (eaac+) 64kbps with great results! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] falco_peregrinus:
Which bitrate are you using? 48 kbps?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxden:
hey guys yestrerday my phone took a path for the worst

i was mad at something and so i banged my phone against the table *anger issues.Now the phone turns on but its all black screen and sometimes partially gray and partially black. I can hear the volume when i press it and the phone vibrates and rings for calls but i cant see nothing its all dark.

i assume its not a software problem...rather hardware. Did i break the screen or disconnect a ribbon from the board to the screen

i have a G2 obviously with ics
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
more than likely one of those options. may be hard to diagnose it until you open it up.

even then it may not be obvious if its the screen or flex cable, but im guessing its one of them.

good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxden:
I opened it and found out that all the plugs/ribbons are connected.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I think the ribbon cable can have wires that are severed inside, despite the shielding still being intact.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxden:
Can it be possible that the screen is broken becuase only the screen is black i can play music because i remember where i put the widget.....so can it be the screen because i dont think its a ribbon
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Both the lcd and ribbion can have the same effect. I can't tell you which one is bad on your end, but I can say that with all my years fixing slider phones it almost never is the lcd
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxden:
So what ur saying is its not the screen
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaxxden:
Can it still be the screen although i took it out and it dosent look broken, take a look:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Not saying it isn't the screen I'm just saying that it more than likley is the flex cable, harder to replace and about 35 usd vrs 20 for an lcd. Take your pick but if it were me id go flex cable

Hi does anyone know any way to use a proxy with WiFi for work etc. ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sagar.sri:
if you mean exposing a wired ethernet inernet connection(at office etc) through your laptop to wifi for tablets etc to connect and you have in intel wifi card supporting it, you could do intel My wifi feature. i have it on my Samsung core i7 laptop. it works flawless!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samp52:
Sorry I don't think I was explicit enough.

I really ment there isn't any proxy setting in the WiFi menu and was wondering if there was a way to input the proxy settings so that I can uee the WiFi at work.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Gingerbread doesnt have a proxy feature. You can use Opera Mobile to browse(did that in college) but apps still wont work.

There are apps that can proxify things, but they require root which was an issue at the time for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samp52:
Ok thanks I'll use that for the meantime

What apps would you recommend if I was to root my device?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fatwaman:
I think, you can use autoproxy after you root your device
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
the ICS update should fix it as on ARC/One X official ICS ROMs we can manually define proxy servers when u add wifi connection
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] samp52:
Ok thanks guys, I've just rooted it so I'll try autoproxy. Can't wait for ICS though :-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] simonsimons34:
I have came up with a way that can root ALMOST ANY S-Off or unlocked device. Devices like LG, and Samsung come factory shipped S-Off.

How it works:

I flash a recovery for access to everything. From there I modify the default.prop to unsecure, allowing you to do a remount. After the default.prop mod, I simply reboot, remount, push the files.

What you need:

A few minutes

An Unlocked device

Paitence

Warning: Any harm to your phone is not the fault of me nor XDA, or anyone but your own. Following directions will not harm the phone, and is mostly safe.

How To Use It:

Extract the downloaded .zip

Place a recovery.img for YOUR phone inside the extracted folder

Install YOUR phones drivers

Plug in the phone

Open the .bat

Follow instructions on screen

Download:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egazito:
sorry to be repeating this post but I tried it with another rom, cleaned everything and did a "clean" installation and continue with the same problem: if I have WiFi turned on everything works fine but if I turn off and the phone and starts working on 3G battery drain very fast, as you can see in the screenshot so I turn on WIFI again, back to stabilize ... not need to be connected to any network, just the fact that is on (WIFI) everything back to work normally ...

Last rom: ICS Fire_Bird ROM v3.0

kernel: DooMLoRD

from what i know, 3g consumes more power than wifi.

yes but the problem is not only that, if the WIFI is on, but no network in range, starts working on 3G, without excessive consumption of battery ... I do not understand what is happening ...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dumraden:
First of all, since you have unlocked your bootloader all you have to do is flash a custom kernel, like the ones I have for the Spartan Rom (links are in my signature). Using nAa's method is silly because that is mostly a workaround for people with locked bootloaders.

Second of all, why are you searching in the Neo/Neo V forums for a custom kernel? That will almost surely not work at all.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Not in one shot. You have to find settings for everything and turn off notifications LED if the option is provided. Sometimes you only get the notification toggle. So for each email you have to shut it off, for messaging, for games like wordfeud, FB, Twitter...and so on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etirkca:
Level 9000: Poke around the source and neuter the driver that controls it.

[Motorola Droid X2] sgrau07:
Hey Guys, I was wondering if there were any ideas as to why I am having trouble with my Corporate Sync (Exchange account) on my Droid x2 running Eclipse 2.1.

Everytime I put in my credentials to set up the account, it tells me it cannot connect. I have tried many times and I know I am putting in the right info and I have also had success on other ROMs so I'm wondering if this one is different.

I love this ROM which is why I wanna stick with it! But I need my company email on it.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Does your company use Microsoft Outlook? Outlook and some other email programs have protocols that can be set to redirect emails from that account to another. I had the same problem when trying to link my school email to my phone. Now I have my school emails forwarded to my Gmail account so I can keep up with them.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
My company uses outlook and corporate email always worked for me on eclipse. Choose exchange and then you have to have your info from your work. For example my company you had to have the s after https:/ ask your It person and make sure path is correct. I used it on every version of eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
I def had issues way back on Stock where my corporate sync stopped. I eventually purchased enhanced email a while back and that worked where stock didn't.

To prove you have the details correct, you can snag a free email client from the Market and make sure it's okay. This'll prove it's not eclipse per say, but the program it's using.
[Motorola Droid X2] spdsl:
I know this is a old thread but I ran into the same problem on my x2 running the stock os. The link provided below fixed the issue. You have to create a gmail corporate sync account first and then change the settings to your corporate account settings and then it works:confused:

Hope it helps someone else.

Hi guys , this is my first post here and i hope you could help me

Today i rooted my Galaxy s II so i could use droid vpn

after rooting i installed Tun.ko

But unfortunately when i press install it keeps telling me

" Cannot fin a compatible tun module for your device ...."

Then i tried doing this manually ..

i moved different tun.ko modules into

"/system/lib/modules"(( there was no folder there called "modules" so i created it ))

But it keeps saying " Path to tun.ko not found "

i'm using the kernel 3.0.15-i9100xxlps-cl294511 "Android 4.0.3 "

You can see the problem in the attached pic.

Help please !!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arthur King:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
which app or apk do i backup to save my text messages using titanium backup? is it the Phone/Messaging Storage one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
Use Gosms backup and restore. then back that up by TB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
thanks, but without having to install another app :)

im running an ICS rom on my G2x if that helps. is that the data i backup with TB (Phone/Messaging Storage)?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
anyone??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
It is best to use a separate app for that. If you backup a system app with TB and change to a different rom it may not be compatible and could cause problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
well thats true, but i guess what im really asking is does that app or whatever it is that TB sees and calls Phone/Messaging Storage contain my text messages?

i will probably install some other SMS app that backs up or backs up to gmail just in case
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
I never backup my apps. But i back up sms with sms backup+
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
yeah sms backup+ is good, i installed that, but i was right, Phone/Messaging Store is where your text messages are kept, backing that up with TB works as well

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] arch3lau5:
might be too new regardless

Usually the carriers are happy to unlock the phone because they charge you a boat load to do it. If they are denying your money I'm not sure if any third party sites could get one from your IMEI or not either. Let us know if you find anything though. Here's hoping!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tomdg07:
What carrier charges for unlock codes?

I'm really in no rush to unlock it, although I wish it was unlocked just for bragging rights.

Carriers don't charge for unlock codes. They either refuse to give it or they give it freely.

There are other companies that do charge. They are not the carriers.

As has been discussed, pay the $25 to cellunlocker.net. Record yourself on video opening their email and inputting your code. Once the phone is unlocked, send them the video. Get your money back. Free reliable unlock code from a legit source.

I downgrade my phone using the downgrade script and i can install roms, s-off and s*on again. Everything fine but getting OTA's. Even I use the Sense 2.1 roms, when I try to check updates it says "no update found" as I noticed I don't have any way to go back my first shipped rom. (Stickied post didn't have original turkish rom, I tried lots of them)

How can I get OTA updates again? I know this is not a big problem but I want to know it anyway.

I noticed the "CID" thing and I think problem is CID itself. Because my CID and RUU differences.. I didn't find any detailed explanation about it. For ex. Is it can be reverted if I change the CID? What is the best CID for the getting updates first? Or are there any other method for OTA?

Sorry if I miss anything.
[HTC Incredible S] Ozgurce:
Any thoughts?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes it is probably due to the fact that you are running a RUU that doesn't match your CID and region.

Unless you have SuperCID with a value of 11111111, you will only get notifications when your RUU and CID are correct for a region.

Hey Guys,

I'm developing my very first Android game based on AndEngine, it's called Pac Them!

It's in Beta version at the moment and I really would like to have a lot of feedback about the game to make it better and more addictive so I would like to share it with you! ;)

It's is an arcade game based on the classic Pacman game's idea. It has been made for children but I think everyone could have some fun with it! The main goal in the game is to collect dots which gives you energy and ignore which are not. The controlling is done by an onscreen controller, check it out! :cool:

SCREENS:

It's avalaible on Google Play!

I'm planning to release a Full version in a week or maybe two so stay tuned!

Any idea or feedback is welcomed about the game, thanks a lot!
