PowerDVD and TotalMedia Theater will play blu-rays. I use both AnyDVD HD (slysoft) and DVDFab HD Decrypter to rip to PC hard-drive. Rippers remove HDCP. Once ripped both Plex and Tversity can stream blu-rays. Also, the new VLC Player(free) that just came out can play and stream blu-rays as well. Plex streamer uses up 90% CPU on the PC when streaming and is most reliable at full 1080P. However, Tversity only uses 3% CPU when streaming has the best video quality and should be converted if streaming to E4GT. I use islysoft to convert to mp4 at both 800x480 on (4G or wifi) and 320x240 3G to my E4GT in motion in the car. http://dyn.com for $20 per year streams Tversity on PC to the E4GT on any android mobile browser or any browser. I use MX Player Pro on E4GT set to SW Fast when streaming from PC. Once in the blu-ray realm for quality and reliablity it does cost. Best free option is DVDFab HD Decrypter and VLC v2.0.1. Some Laptops only have VGA - in this case you need an up converter to digital HDMI 1080P.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamice4u:
I have both a laptop and a desktop. I use my desktop to stream because I have 2 TB of space on my desktop. My laptop is my work horse. It is the machine I use to get all my report done with. I don't want to eat up all of my hard drive space with a DVD's but maybe investing in an 2 TB or more external hard-drive might solve that problem in the future this would be a good solution because it would make my media portable. I have some cartoons, music and anime I currently stream from my desktop computer. How much hard-drive space does a typical blue ray movie takes up. My currently solution right now is to use a hdmi cable I also own FAB DVD as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsbuffalo:
Blu-Rays are 28GB to 50GB depending the length of the movie. 40 to 65 Full Blu-Ray movies will fit in 2TB of storage. I have both Roku and Seagate Streamers. You can use Seagate Theater or Goflex streamer and the USB drive can be used to play ripped blu-rays in original format. However, the Seagate remote is not great. Roku can play ripped blu-rays streamed from your PC with the Plex media server on the PC and the Plex plug-in on Roku. However, Rokus USB input the movies need to be converted to mp4 only when played off USB harddrive. If you have Directv box Tversity v1.8 on PC can stream converted mp4 movies thru your directv box using media stream. The point is a good converter like iSkysoft to mp4 the universal format is a good investment.

of course you should try this

of course, you should try this, I have used it for almost 2 years.it never had any problem。it plays blu ray on pc smoothly。when i bought it, to my surprise, it can change region code, thus i'm never worried about relaxing myself when on business. It's an easy to use and professional blu ray player software for windows， including Windows 8. of course, it fully integrates with Windows Media Center too. beyond your surprise, it's also a 3d video player. maybe you should try. believe me, it is satisfying
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
Title says it all. My girlfriend had a Nokia X3-02, and the mainboard broke twice within a month, so I'm not going back to Nokia. Thinking about letting her try Android.

Anyway, found a Wildfire S for $130 (USD), thought it might be worth a try. I'm also considering a Wildfire, but the screen resolution seems kinda low.

What I need out of it:

1) Stock rom + root + recovery + custom kernal + overclock --> found these in the forums

2) Ability to store apps on SD card. The internal memory is small from what I understand. It's got Android 2.3, so it should already have this, right?

3) Good battery life for music and movies. She listens to a lot of music.

4) Idiot proof and very very easy to use. My girlfriend is a total idiot when it comes to cellphones. She's never had a phone without a physical keypad. I almost considered buying her an older Iphone, but then I came to my senses.

Is there anything I should be aware of about this phone, good or bad? Or can someone suggest a better phone for the same price or less (used is OK)?

I've got a Huawei U8800 for myself, and it's awesome, but I think it's a little too expensive to get one for her.
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
I think this would be a great phone for her because it has everything she would need.

Also this would be a huge upgrade from the Nokia X3-02
[HTC Wildfire S] davidang:
Buy a high end range phone they are good and she can learn so that she can gain experience
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
High end phones are expensive. $130 is actually a bit more than I want to pay, I paid about $80 for the X3-02, but the wildfire s looks pretty good for the price. I don't even buy high end phones for myself because they're not worth it. Too many pickpockets here in China. I'm looking for a good value, something that won't break easily, or at least be easy to fix if it does.

And she won't learn. The perfect example is she just brought my tf101 to me asking how to open YouKu (chinese youtube), for the 15th time. But she loves to cook and clean, and a few other things. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Not sure, but Wildfire S with CM7.2 and LINK2SD with a big SD card should be good. Or a stock rom.
[HTC Wildfire S] rioachim:
Sony xperia ray is better for a girl. Without overclock/custom rom, wildfire s is annoying even when answering a call and battery sucks no matter what.
[HTC Wildfire S] jimmysmart83:
i agreed..
[HTC Wildfire S] davidang:
Then buy a Samsung galaxy ace plus ,it is much more better than HTC wildfire s and is about the same price
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
Samsung galaxy ace plus = $245, way too expensive

Sony Xperia Ray = $175, I like it but still too expensive.

We don't get our phones on contract here, we just buy the phones and buy minutes and data.

Also, just saw the ZTE Blade for around $110. That might be interesting. One of my students is head of research at ZTE, I'll ask him about it.
[HTC Wildfire S] MrTaco505:
The HTC Wildfire S would fit here needs.
[HTC Wildfire S] deepakskht1:
htc wildfire s is not the phone she wants.....got many problems with battery,internal memory and touch screen.....u from china right?if u like samsung.....try galaxy ace,fit,pop

if u like lg......try optimus p500....if u like htc.....try htc pico(explorer)....
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
I've got no brand loyalty. I like good values, good quality for a good price. Also I'm not from China, I'm American but I live in China. I'll look into the phones you mentioned deepakskht1.
[HTC Wildfire S] Thrawed:
You are much better off buying a high end last gen device than a low end current gen device.

phone ideas

hey buddy. my gf has just recently got the sony xperia mini pro. which i can vouch is a pretty nice phone. has a hardware keyboard which slides out. comes with 2.3.5 gingerbread, 5mp camera and front facing vga camera. i have not looked into the development side of it as she is not really into it, but the stock phone runs smooth and fast and is quite hardy little device that can survive the odd hard bump or two. i got it from work for £139 sterling, so not sure how much you would get it for there.

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_mini_pro-3713.php phone is here ^^

but for someone whos not great with tec and never had a touch screen phone i would definatly recommend this phone :cool:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1239 link to it on xda ^^ ( i think this is it t least)
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
Actually I'm thinking of a phone from 2010 that has a good reputation that is mid to high-end. I'm Ok with buying used.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
If I were to choose over again I would have gotten the LG optimus v over the wildfire s
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
Actually, that's where I stand now. The optimus V is the same as the P500, I think. I got it narrowed down to a couple of models:

Wildfire S = $75

Lg Optimus P500 (Korea Version) = $75

Lg Optimus P500 (Europe Version) = $90

Lg C660 = $65

I'm leaning towards the Korean P500, assuming it either has Chinese as a system language, or the rom can be modified to add Chinese. Unfortunately the Korean version of the P500 can't use European roms. I'm not sure how to add a system language, but I don't think it can be that difficult.
[HTC Wildfire S] abhi8569:
best option for u will be htc explorer....it has better processor & better UI. and its cheaper than WFS. Just camera will make a difference as it got only 3.2mp against 5mp in WFS
[HTC Wildfire S] einstein.frat:
I would buy my gf and myself an htc one x, if I got the money. Otherwise a desire is also nice, I have seen the real thing, its smooth and nice its like a big wildfire s, just dont mind the scroll sensor, it looks ugly in desire pics but in real it looks nice with big screen etc. You decide. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Ive owned the lg optimus V (same as p500/Optimus One) and it was a great phone, i wished i never sold it for my wildfire S, the build quality of the optimus is far better then the wildfire s, under the back cover its nice aluminum and its durable, feels good in hands. Specs are pretty much the same in comparison but the LG has no flash (for camera) ebay has them cheap! But if you do get the wildfire s, its a good phone nothing more or less.
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
Thanks for your help. I just bought a new Chinese LG Optimus P503 for $87 including shipping. Pretty good deal I think.
[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
That's a good deal, I no you will enjoy it, when you get it let us no how you like it! :)
[HTC Wildfire S] typci:
Got the phone. It's pretty nice for what I paid for it. I really like the construction of it, especially the back battery cover. Been working on getting the software updated.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] georgeiulian89:
Connect USB data cable few times,until card is recognized,or change connection mode from MTP to MSC,because drivers must be installed again. I assume that CWM USB mounting not working because of the kernel. About SD ext.img not found,i get the same message,but there isn't any problem.

I booted into the my Neo V and connected the USB cable .. BANG nw usb is not getting detected. But battery is charging ! Ok so i tried factory reset.. still the same prob..

[Motorola Droid RAZR] wakahuula:
Hi guys!

I ordered a RAZR two days ago because I got bored of my Nexus S and I am hoping that Moto will change its mind about that locked bootloader.

Well I'll come to the point: At eBay (where I bought it) its MPU is "MOTOROLADROIDRAZRUNLOCKEDBLACK" - Screenshot attached.

Is this specified to the Simlock or did I "accidentally" catch a dev device? O.o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
I guess that its just because its "sim free"

The developer edition would be ...DEV... or ...DEVELOPER... instead of ...UNLOCKED...

did you read the intro when running the exe? It tells you what to expect. I would suggest reading before installing something on your phone next time... lol

You can, you have to edit your misc partition, but mess that up and you have a pretty brick.

----------------------

If you are having issues, do a data wipe, the ruu preloads data and sometimes that doesn't work out so well!

Also, patients is good, you should allow the phone a good 5min to settle on first boot before you start freaking out.
