That's a good idea, and I will probably go with that - however at the moment I'm wanting to show off the features of my new phone to work colleagues, and popup play (although it's a gimmick) seems to impress! So I want to use the standard built in video player for that reason :)

Any suggestions? Is it even possible to combins .mkv & .srt into one file? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to audiovisual stuff :-D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
hmm, here you go :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I tried using that and it seemed to be doing the job ok - (using the associated program MKVExtractGUI) it allows you to select the elements of video/sound/subs you want.

However the H264 file it spat out at the end won't play properly in VLC on my computer - it's jerky, jumping up and down from about 8 frames per second to 25fps and back again, lots of artifacts, and no sound or subtitles (despite me selecting those elements to be included).

If it barely plays in VLC on my laptop I doubt it's going to play on my phone...

Any more ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
Have you tried using the stock video player? It plays MKVs and subtitles out the box.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I tried that, that would be ideal - but it didn't play the mkv files i gave it. I'll try a couple of others and report back...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Ok well I've just found the first chink in this phone's armour:

It's very fussy about the .mkv files it will play.

It outright refuses some. Others it will play the video but no audio. Some it will play perfectly, unless you try and activate subtitles under the settings menu, in which case it craps out, freezes, and gives me a "this video cannot be played message." Even if I do manage to get it to play subtitles along with the video and audio, it's well out of sync - like minutes out of sync....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
Well if you do have to end up re-encoding your videos, try out Format Factory. It's free and has a ton of options.

I would suggest using MP4 and 'burning in' the subtitles. If you can't understand the the language you might as well have them a part of the video.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Thanks, I'll give that a try :)
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
hi again guys as you have prob' seen in my last post i recently updated to the v7 bootloader and 1.7thor recovery.

since i updated the bootloader, ive had a few probs like the unreadable files showing up in my internal memory, my sd card deleting most of it contents, google play showing tracks i no longer have on the tablet.

i have also noticed that google music has begun to flash/glitch and last night g-music totally blacked out my screen after a load of flickering i was worried but the tab seemed to work fine just the app went crazy.

another issue is i tried to install a game (nova 3) and when i clicked install it said i did not have enough memory,,....but i have 22gb free?

so i tried another .apk and installed fine,.. could it be the .apk thats the problem? its just weird because you would think the game just wouldn't play, not give insufficient memory warning before installing?

another question i have is, if i made a nandroid backup using the teamwin recovery 2.x can i restore the nandroid that ive flashed the thor 1.7 recovery?

flexreaper R12.5

v7 bootloader skrillax

1.7 thor recovery
[Acer Iconia A500] meduza:
version?

I am not sure if the version of flexreaper you have installed supports the ICS bootliader...? Are you?

m.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
You need to update your rom, you are about 20 revisions old and I don't think you have the right boot.img installed to make your bootloader compatible with the FR 12.5 rom you are running. You should have stuck with the HC bootloader if you are using such an old rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] chismay:
i was on v2 ics bootloader before? and civato recommends using a ics bootloader for flexreaper? also the boot.img was replaced by civato .....sooooooooo i dunno?

note/update:

i found the files in the internal it was in a download folder from torrentz4android, i deleted them and got all space back and play music now displays all the correct information had to delete a lot individually . the nova 3 install problem was found to be a glitch with ICS actually , i cleared dalvik-cache and the apk install no problem :D

update

ok i seem to still be experiencing problems from the touchscreen once becoming unresponsive to apps freezing and my back/home buttons disappearing?

can using a new bootloader produce these problems or could it be a bad titanium backup?

hope this information helps others who come by this problem.
[HTC One X] Mrbrutesnipe:
Did a search and can't find a similar thread, so apologies if there is one.

Over the last couple of days my phone has been freezing on shutdown. I have to turn my phone off whilst at work, and when I do it stops on the "o2" splash screen and just gets hotter and hotter. If I don't spot it then it just runs the battery down to zero.

I have to forcibly turn it off by holding down the power button.

Anyone else had experience of this? I haven't rooted it yet, so a return to HTC is on the cards.

I love this phone, but this is already my 2nd after getting dust under my screen for the first one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
I'm rooted & on stock firmware ICS 4.0.3 XWLP7, I recently flashed JKays framework & deluxe settings for this firmware & I'm not really sure if that bares any significance to my problem! I'm experiencing quite high CPU usage (between 35%-45%! even if I kill all running processes/applications) over the last week or so & wondered if this is normal? I've also tried wiping battery stats & dalvik cache, & athough it helps a little, it only last for a small period of time, like an hour or so!? If someone could give me any clues as to why this may be happening I'd be greatfull!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
I already have BetterBatteryStats installed & I'm a bit noob with how to read any findings, what section are you asking me to report back with? Other/Partial Wakelocks/Kernel Wakelocks/Alarms or Process??

& just for your information, "I DID" search & read, but couldn't find any answers, which is why I posted the question in a "Q&A" forum!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
tbh, oinky is right

i didnt ask for information, i said to use bbs and report back. i never said i would reply after that either

the point of my post was to get the info people will need to be able to help you

any problems related to battery drain will generally be resolved quicker with bbs stats

Thats not to say i use bbs myself
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Fair enough! ;)

Anyone else have any clues to my problem besides Dark Agent? (& obviously oinky ;))
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durangatang:
You should let your battery run down until it's almost dead and then show bbs stats.

Your phone is not sleeping properly because something is causing kernel wakelocks. You should Google those first 2 kernel wakelocks to try and find out what is causing them. The first one is related to apps and data usage. Use titanium backup to freeze rogue apps causing them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Ok thanks for your reply, I'll do exactly that & report back! ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
There you go

i said to post bbs stats - you did

you then got the answer:

wasnt too bad was it? :)

Thats why i posted what i posted (and as i said, i dont use bbs myself)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
From what I can gather (I might be wrong!) my problem seems to be related to data traffic, here: https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge-Base/wiki/svnet-dormancy

Does anyone know how to track down which app or service in particular may be be causing it? :confused:

TIA! ;
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Based on your earlier post you will probably ignore this:

Are you switching your 2g/3g data OFF when not using the phone?

If you leave it on, loads of apps have the chance to check for updates/synchronise

turn off auto updates, syncing, wifi, 3g and anything else related to accessing the net for information
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durangatang:
I don't think you can actually find which app it is without freezing all your user apps and trying one by one, which would be a pain. You could try reflashing clean and reinstalling all your apps clean. Could just freeze any apps you think might be the culprit and try one by one to narrow it down. Could also use Tasker or some other app to better control your data so you are not always connected. I leave my data off at all times and only turn it on when I am doing something that needs it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
Thanks, I thaught as much when I mentioned trying to narrow it down to a particular app! I've turned data transfer off when not using the phone now & I must say that it's made a significant difference, but I still don't fully understand why it started eating my battery/data all of a sudden like that, when I didn't change anything on the phone but install JKays framework & deluxe settings prior to this problem :confused:!

I like to receive my emails which is one reason for keeping data turned on, & I usually have it on GSM only unless I use the net without Wi Fi when I'm out & about!

I suppose I can only try different fixes & try & work out the best solution specific to my use of the phone huh!? :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
We had the same problem when we ported i9000 roms to the vibrant. Much like you see between s2 and s3 the mms app is exactly the same. The solution was to change an XML in the app so that it used Google servers instead of samsungs. If someone would like to test I can probably try it tonight but don't have an S3 yet. Of course you'd have yo be rooted to test.

I would just like to be able to send and receive mms without it being converted to a slide show, I can't zoom in on pictures of anything without saving it first then looking at it. I find that annoying :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSport-:
The MMS I receive on mine are acceptable (considering the standard limitations)

But I rarely use MMS since ChatOn surpasses it completely. It's free and as long as your buddy uses it, you can send full quality pictures and other files at almost no cost. Not sure if there is a version for iPhone thought. But there are other multiplatform solutions.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
Someone give this a go. If not sure how to do it please PM me and I will help. I have no way of testing but I did see in the XML that it was the same as before using Samsung as the provisioning agent so I just switched that with Google otherwise nothing was changed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcsnap93:
maybe its because of the high res screen ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjoha:
I have not root my s3 and i should not do it.

When i send for example a picture with a size of 150 kb from my wifes phone, when i received the picture to my phone the size is only 13 kb, but when i send a mms from my phone to my phone the size is 150 kb when i send it and 150 kb when i received it. Is it a softwhere bug from samsung or should i send my phone for reparation? Please.

Mine are perfectly fine with both the stock and GoSMS. (Although I don't use the stock SMS program.)

In GoSMS you can set it to preserve image quality.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure any OTG host cable would work if the phone's OTG compatible. When you tested it, did you try it with a keyboard or something else? Hard drives might be problematic if they're not ext 2/3/4.

This phone DOES NOT support USB OTG! It does not have the hardware capability. It has nothing to do with ICS or the Kernel.

Any idea why this happens?

Could be a few things...

- Things are still opening in the background (scanning SD cards, etc.)

- Starting to cache the pages

- Things eating up CPU in the background
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] akashsgpgi:
if your on stock rom then we have conservative governor and cfq io scheduler , this not good for performance

also with cfq media scanning at start causes lag for about a min

u should try a custom kernel with good governors and io scheldulers
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] sherbibv:
Tnx for your reply guys.

Well. the SD card scanning was finished,and I always clear my cache and keep my phone with minimum programs running in the background.And this continues to happen(the choppy sliding) until I do the camera thing.:|

And yes,I use a custom kernel. But this happens even though I use Stock or custom kernel with the governor set to performance and i/o to sio.

I've been having this issue since i bought the phone,but never discovered how to fix it. until a few day ago.

may i know what rom you use and what kernel? And are you refering to page in browser? or page in app drawer or home? the next page.

Firstly , this issue has appeared in every 2.3.5 and above roms(stock or custom) . My previous rom(stock JKPK5) was not having this issue(or at least not that severe). But roms such ar XXKPQ , XXKPU etc (2.3.6) had this issue.

My current rom is [ROM]CleanValuePack[2.3.6][XXLE4] with XDA_BAM@Bam_PC#13 kernel.

I must say that I have not tried the camera thing except on JPKP5 . And my current rom.:)
