Options to customise the menu bar at the bottom. So always have the home button, but choose if back button, app list visible. Want the touchwiz screenshot button? Hold the menu bar, select the 'mini widget' and drop it there. Want the touchwiz popup app menu? Hold and select.

Want a mini widget that always shows if there's a new email and count? Choose if you want that notification to pop up in the usual notification area, or if a fixed point on the menu bar (tool bar?).

The popup settings bar, with the clock/notifications. Allow that to be customised too. Choose if you want it drag down from the top, pop up from the bottom and how (kinda built in Cyanogen features), and again, if you want mini-widgets on that to turn on/off wifi/bluetooth. The stuff that's there, but not standardised. Then, if Samsung/HTC want to customise their phones/tablets, it's just those mini-widgets they default to, to get the look they want. If you don't like it, you remove them and use standard halo theme. (or select more featured ones from the play store).

So if you want a really clean look, you can hide all those buttons, and use gestures (press and hold the menu bar, show the possible widgets, with settings per widget on which gesture to activate).

[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Morning,

I've been toying with the idea of installing an Anti Virus solution on to my phone but have a couple of questions.

Is it necessary? I know that most of the AV apps come with nice features like tracking and remote wipe but was wondering how big the threat of mobile malware actually is.

Will it prevent my device from going into 'Deep Sleep' and have a negative impact on battery life?

It is possible that I am going to install Vipre Mobile Security as we use a lot of GFI products at work. Do any of you have experience with this app?

Cheers in advance.
[HTC One X] animaleyes76:
1) No it's not. Just install apps from the official google market and none of the chinese/russian ones and look at the permissions each app uses. Unless you are installing "big busty blonde" style apps you should be fine.

2)Most AV/Malware products have a negative effect on a phones performance and battery. Don't bother, just use your common sense instead.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Have to agree here as well. Do not bother with AV apps mate..Just use common sense on what you flash or install on your phone. Simple as that:)
[HTC One X] shrubz:
I have never used Anti Virus on any of my phones and I've never had any problems.
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Cheers lads. I was reading an article about Android Malware which prompted me to look into AV. Don't think I'll bother now though :D

Any recommendations for an app to locate and remote wipe the device if it is lost?

I use free version of lookout. It don't cause any battery drains and is set to scan any new app get installed on the phone. You can also manual scan the whole phone.
[HTC One X] Bennyy55:
You can install Avast Anti-Virus from the google play store, and if the phone has root access you can install Avast onto the ROM.

Once it has been installed you can set up theft aware for SMS text commands to remote wipe, lock etc.

The reason why the install it to the ROM is because if someone was going to factory reset through the bootloader or even from the settings menu the Avast will still be install but it will be disguised as another app (Which you can name) and they will not know that it is there.

Hope this was helpful.

[HTC One X] godutch:
check out Kaspersky, I think it still comes with life time updates, it might not be necessary today but it's a good deal and might get useful in future...
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Although not free, PhoneLocator Pro is the best I've seen,

It hides from your app drawer, adds un-installation security, takes an automatic photo of your thief and sends it you, along with his call log, also blocks the phone if the thief changes sim card, along with all the GPS tracking services that it emails you - you also get a web user interface too, aswell as the usual text commands.

Its good stuff, developer is very responsive and eager to add more features all the time too.

However, due to the way HTC have implemented multi-tasking, their pre-installed task manager app will kill it, along with anything else you may have running such as battery saving apps, antivirus, etc etc
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bux1982:
Ok, so I´d like to post this directly to the development forum but I´m not allowed to due to my post count.

Anyway, reading through the related threads, I know I´m not the only one with the following issue.

I used the EOS 1.0 stable on my MZ601 (European/German) since it came out and it was pretty awesome. Battery life was good, and after I wiped cache and dalvik cache once, deep sleep worked like a charme.

Uptime with light usage was between 4 and 5 days

About 3 weeks ago, I upgraded to EOS 2.0 stable and my battery life is a nightmare.

Xoom eats away a full charge in about 1.5 days of just laying around.

I did not use it on purpose to check how long it will take.

Sure I wiped cache and dalvik like before, but nothing helps.

CPU Spy tells me this...

the Tab is not brought back from deep sleep by some app or system call.

The Xoom doesn´t even goes into deep sleep, not at all.

It runs on 266mHz all the time, and AndroidOS consumes allmost 90% of the battery.

Any advice about what to do next?

Even given the fact that 2.0 is a fantastic release and I don´t want to, I consider going back to 1.0 at the moment.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dersh:
On mine it seems to relate to specific apps. If I reboot, and run nothing, then it does go to deep sleep. If I use a few apps, then it does deep sleep some, but not as it used to.

I have not figured out which apps, or why the change with the upgrade. But one of the apps that seems to greatly reduce deep sleep is email (with exchange). Even though I have it set to never check my mail(except manually) it seems to have wake up alarms that reduce deep sleep and battery like a bunch. If I run mail after a reboot.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyWrightOne:
Hello

Sorry if this has been covered before. I have searched and couldn't find anything.

I have ordered the SGSIII and a 64GB Micro SD. I would like to get it loaded with content before the phone arrives next week and wondered what the best software / settings would be?

Most of the content will be 720 / 1080P and because of the size of the Micro SD I would like the best quality possible.

Do I even need to convert videos or does the SGSIII support .MKV's?

Thanks for your Help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
The phone supports most of the formats including MKVs so you don't have to convert anything.

If you want the highest quality, use a 1080 file which is something like 7-8 GB and it will play smoothly on the S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
It'll play MKVs fine, if you have ones with subs and so forth then Dice Player or MX Player from the Play Store may be better (I prefer Dice myself, does DTS audio and previously the Samsung player has not).

For reference, my video test shoot out for the Galaxy Note:

[youtube]K353JnA5QKg[/youtube]
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I use handbrake or Tools4movies, or iVi Pro.

These have presets, but if not S3 plays lots of formats, pick something else what you own, eg Apple TV, WD media player and use that format then can play on both devices
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
The stock player supports subs and everything. The subs don't even need to be the same exact name as the video file, the player will give you an option to choose the subtitle file.

I think this is the first stock video player that I'll be sticking with because it's got everything.. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKboy92:
Only problem is that (at least in my case) the SDHC can't hold files above 4Gigs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyWrightOne:
Is that right? Is that because of the file system the SDHC needs to be for the SGSIII to see it? I hadn't thought of that. So all video files will need to be smaller than 4GB?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannyc93:
You need to reformat the card! Just do a quick google search and there ery easy instructons on how to do it! You will be able to load files onto it that are larger than 4GB!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
GS3 supports exFAT format out of the box, which means that it doesn't have the 4 GB file size limitation. :)

You might have to format your card to exFAT in the computer though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKboy92:
Okay, thought exFAT also had a cap of 4Gigs. Will format it later tonight. Thanks for the heads up ;]
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKboy92:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Unless they've dramatically improved the subtitles support the stock players subtitle support will be very average and not well suited to people who watch a lot of subtitled things.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
Yes, that could be..

But I did see a video of the stock player using subtitles and everything.. :) Maybe won't give the level of control some people need though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyWrightOne:
Thanks for all your help with this.

Looks like I don't have to bother converting and can put 1080P files over 4GB on to my Micro SD ready for the SGSIII.

Wvm is a file format used by a program called wave to store engine data. Shouldn't be possible to have it as a video file but you can open the file on a pc using vlc media player and use its view codec menu option to see what codecs are used.

It could be just named .wvm so people can't guess its codec by the file extension but vlc would tell you.

okay, so from what I can tell the file is stored in:

/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.videos/files/Movies/****.wvm

- Stream 0

---Type Audio

---Codec: MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3 (mpga)

---Sample rate: 22050 Hz

---Bitrate 80kb/s

I can only think that this is either the audio file and the video file is sitting somewhere else, or that this is the video and audio file and it is encrypted in such a way that it is only recognized as audio.

You should be able to tell if it is really just audio by the files size in megabytes.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fit101:
I have a similar issue....but I'm going to add a little twist here.

So I purchased the Wolverine DVD from Walmart, it came with a digital copy and a code to be able to download a copy from the Google Play Store. I did this, and then decided to move the movie to my external SD card. When I try to play the movie, it hangs during the "Universal Studios" opening at about 12 seconds in and then displays "Video cannot be played". I've downloaded countless different video players, but all have the same result.

Now here's the twist.... I used a file explorer app to locate the video folder and selected the movie file, it gave me the options to select which of the many video players installed I wanted to use to play the movie, I selected the stock player, and played the video through there instead of opening it from a video app directly, this time it worked! The movie opened, and played fine, but when I stoped the movie and tried to use the same procedure again, it failed and now displays "Video cannot be played" yet again.

Now no matter what I try, I can't get the video to play. This is very confusing, how can it work once, and then not work again, almost as if it got corrupted? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I m a new user to this group. Would like to post my views since I was searching for the same thing as you guys are.

I downloaded couple of movies from playstore. Reading the previous comments, I went to the directory - Andorid/data/com.google.android.videos/files/Movies/*. there I found 3 directories - knowledge, subtitles and some blasdfjsd. I checked all 3 and came to know the last directory fjsdnfdjnd, contains my movies since the file size was huge.

I have Astro File Manager, using it, I copied one video file from that dfdsjnfdsjf folder, pasted it in Downloads folder. Then I selected that file -> Open As. It gave me some options. One of them is Video. Selected it. A list of video players came up.

Selected MX Player since its very renowned n can play any format. Ta Da. It starts working fine. I can play, pause, stop.

Only thing needs to be remembered is, for playing this file, you have to go in file explorer and then play as MX player.

If I open MX player to search for the file, I cannot see it in the directory.

I hope, i answered correctly.

Thanks.
