Fix?

So is there an official solution to this issue that doesn't disable Google Movies playback?

I am trying to watch Transformers Movie that was on the device and it stutters terribly througout the entire movie.

So do all the videos I pull up on YouTube.

Anyone done anything to fix this to this point?

EDIT: Read that if you have downloaded the Rotation App for Nexus 7 and uninstall it that fixed problem...So I did, and yup, it fixed the problem. Too bad because I really lked that app!
[Nexus 7 General] songmeesay:
If you have a rotation control app installed then removing it fixes the stutters
[Nexus 7 General] Scythe024:
for some reason when i did this my screen would flash all red every few seconds. Oh well mine ran like butter before it, just did it to try it out.
[Nexus 7 General] gbroon:
I found If you set the app to auto instead of forced auto the stutter goes away.

Can do this individually for specific apps with ultimate rotation control so didn't need to uninstall.

I only have the launcher set to forced. To do this set the global setting to auto. As there's no app entry in settings for the launcher go to home screen and go to rotation settings from the notification. Choose apply only option and change to forced auto from there.
[Nexus 7 General] Salty Wagyu:
I think you accidently enabled another option in the Developer settings, that red flashing is to show GPU acceleration is active.
[Nexus 7 General] blackhand1001:
They should have included the aosp browser. Chrome is way buggier and slower than the jellybean browser. You can install it but you have to be rooted.
[Nexus 7 General] josefmawas:
The 2 in the middle, which are enabled, is that right?

And does the battery stay very good like before?
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
I would uncheck "Disable HW Overlays"
[Nexus 7 General] R1ptide:
Link to apk?
[Nexus 7 General] mtbiker033:
fixed

turning the rotation control on the google play movies app to auto from forced auto worked for me! thanks to both of you!! :good:
[Nexus 7 General] LawAce:
This does work but chrome is still laggy for me when I scroll slowly and its not lightning quick at rendering pages.
[Nexus 7 General] Templa:
Was looking for a solution and here I found this thread. Tried it out with some older apps and totally works fine!

But it really made it smooth for MangaWatcher. It was so jittery and laggy, now it's like butter.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Im sorry but I find your guide a little misleading.

My understanding that Force 2d GPU was under system settings, but you tell me to find it in ROM ToolBox, which i cant.

Im also a little confused as to whether your telling us to disable overlays or not.

Please hep me and explain a little more clearly?
[Nexus 7 General] veeman:
Don't disable overlays.
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Ok got that bit.

But why is he talking about ROM Toolbox for GPU rendering??
[Nexus 7 General] cnstarz:
he mentions going into ROM Toolbox to see how laggy it is. if you open the Root Browser from ROM Toolbox and scroll around, you'll notice scrolling is very laggy, stuttery, and jumpy. now, exit out of it completely. don't just press the home button and go to your homescreen; actually kill the app. now, force 2d gpu (do no disable hw overlays) then open up ROM Toolbox and open the Root Browser again and you'll notice the scrolling is much, much smoother.
[Nexus 7 General] rastlin:
OK I may be a dumbass but I cannot find the developers section under settings. I am running stock 4.2.1, correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't it be located under system?

Here's what I see
[Nexus 7 General] haha123:
go to about phone and click on "build version" 7 times or so until the developer settings appears.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
This will ONLY affect apps which have not been properly designed. There is an excellent post on this on Google Plus somewhere but I cannot find it. :(

Maybe it was this, although I think there was a G+ post as well. Romain Guy explaining why this is not on by default (Yet).

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...cceleration-turned-on-by-default-in-honeycomb

It's a simple flag in the manifest that apps must add in order to by default to this setting inside their app. If forcing this setting on makes the app faster, then they have not set this flag.

Various reasons for that, and some of them are incompatibility with that flag with older versions of Android as well as some graphics problems in some apps.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html

Lists the technical information, how app devs can enable it in various ways (including very fine-grained ways; only in a specific part of the app, etc) and what are unsupported. Those unsupported things are the ones which will cause glitches and graphics distortion.

TLDR: If an app is improved by this setting the developer should investigate turning on the flag in their manifest or in specific areas in their app. If their app is incompatible (using unsupported drawing operations listed in URL above) then this is likely the reason why, assuming they've done the investigation at all. Email the app developer and ask.
[Nexus 7 General] Jomari29:
Use that entropy Seeder hack...
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
This is an even worse idea than forcing HW Accel on apps that don't support it.

OK I just started having an issue yesterday. I am now unable to send texts and pix. I do have catlog but don't know how to use it or understand it. I use handcent and the OG txt. I've removed handcent and still nothing. I've flashed back to mikg 311 and it all works. I've fresh flashed decks reloaded and ran my backup and nothing. It sits there and then errors out. Both on 3g and wifi with strong signals.

UPDATE...

I have tried a few different roms again. Each non-sense ROM gave me the txtin issue, however when I run a sense ROM no issue. I have cleaned everything short of formatting my SD card.

Also I have found an error during recovery, though it was there before the txting issue. I don't know how it happened or how to fix it. I'm using amon recovery (i think that's the name)...

E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such device)

Error mounting /sd-ext/!

Skipping format

That is the error I get when trying to wipe sdext and on the part of the dalvik cashe piece.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
Sounds like the recovery error is a bad SD card. Swap SD cards and try again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsx1000r02:
So after more trials, I have found that no matter what non-sense rom I choose, I cannot sent long texts at all no matter what SMS app I use. This just started out of the blue. This is happening on non-sense roms. And when I use sense roms, it seems that I am sending double txts to everyone. And even though they send (mikG3.11 is what I'm using right now) I'm getting an error of sms error cause code:34 error class:2. But the txts are sending.
[Motorola Atrix HD] colts187:
I got my hd today and I love it. It keeps throwing me off having that at&t symbol right below the freaking home button. I keep hitting it. I guess i was too used to my gs3 home button. This phone is freakin awesome..
[Motorola Atrix HD] mqguitar:
You are not alone lol!!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
I hate the branding. It really takes away from the look of the phone.

Anyways, can't complain too much. This phone rocks. I cant wait for root. I'm going to make a tweaked build.prop for everyone to use. I'm sure I can get it to benchmark better than the SGS3. So who cares I guess, all phones these days look alike practically.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hotrod010:
Yes that att branding pisses me off too!! And all that space could have been used for bigger screen!!!!
[Motorola Atrix HD] RobAndroid:
I'm glad it's just the deathstar logo and not the letters too.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vectorized:
ugh

No.... just no. I really wish people would stop saying this. You're all .... anyway:

There's a big black bar at the bottom for the same reason there's a big black bar at the top.

A) to put your hardware. It's gotta go somewhere. Bigger screen on top of the hardware, would've meant bigger/heavier phone.

B) There also has to be big black space at the top of the phone for the ear piece and the camera.... It has to match at the bottom, or else the screen wouldnt be symmetric.

Try this with me. Just for a second:

Hold your phone in landscape mode.

Imagine that you didnt have big black areas at the top or bottom

You'd have nowhere to rest your thumbs, and your fingers would be on the screen.

Also imagine how the screen would look offset to the bottom of the phone.... EW.

It matters less in portrait mode because you can squeeze the phone between your fingers & palm naturally.

When in landscape mode, you'll have to use two hands, and holding it with friction would be uncomfortable and unsafe.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
I could careless for a screen larger than 4.3" the Atrix HD 4.5" is perfect.

I know there is hardware under the logo area. Also on the top end you have the notification LED, front camera and light sensor.

The complaint with the Death Star logo is that its right smack in the middle like the Iphone home button.

The Atrix HD looks really clean without buttons, but the logo disrupts the clan look and feel.

No one is really crying about it. Its just a frustrating after thought on behalf of AT&T. They could have placed it on the back with all that other serial number and LTE information is stamped.

I know that moshi screen protectors will cover the logos so you cant see them. I had one on my Atrix 2 and it was a really clean look.

I'll just have to wait for Moshi to make one for the MAHD.

So far I just have a universal one that only covers the screen area.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vectorized:
I got the screen protector at the AT&T store, its great, covers the whole front of the phone, but it leaves a window for the deathstar. i'm probably gonna put some black something under it to hide it eventually. I think it's subtle enough. but it would've been much better on the back.

I promise you that wasnt added there by designers. it was added by a business person.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
I agree.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
Just a quick MSpaint Edit!

Branding removed.

I have to admit though... It looks kinda boring.

I should have left more of the Motorola Branding on the top.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Wirelessgirl:
When I was watching some of the reviews on youtube, I thought the AT&T logo was a physical button. Why does AT&T have to slap their

logo on every phone they have? I have the Samsung S3 from Rogers and there's no logo on the phone. Pretty much all the Canadian carriers

don't put their logos on the phones now because everyone was complaining about it. I hope the Bell version of the Atrix HD don't have any Bell branding on it. I have to get mine from Bell because it doesn't look like Rogers will be carrying it. :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] Kedakari:
If you want a really good screen protector that will cover the branding check out the Moshi screen protector.

Moshi Black Anti-Glare

The preview shows a Atrix 2, but I placed a phone call for an order earlier yesterday asking if they had it and Customer rep said they had it online.

It's 25 bucks, but worth every penny. I have one on my Atrix 2 and it covers all the branding. You just plop it on, no need to squeege it, or spray it with water. You place it on dry and its guaranteed not to bubble.

I had a amber from a bon fire land on my screen. It melted the edge of the screen protector, but my screen was fine.

I just peeled off the protector and used a pocket knife to scrape off the burnt piece.

The protector is very thick, and it would help with the Atrix HD's super sensitive screen thats notorious for selecting icons in the middle of a swipe.

I cannot find a method in Linux or Windows that will allow me to access the files in the system.img partition image from:

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.29.728.12_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_261350_signed.exe

I have never had a problem "unpacking" system.img files from other HTC phones using unyaffs or even in Windows with WinImage for EXT2/3/4 partitions.

Obviously many Devs have had success with the HOX system.img! Could someone please tell me what file system the system partition uses AND/OR reveal the correct approach to accessing the files within the img?

I presume the partition formats are identical in:

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.28.728.9_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_256493_signed.exe

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance.

BTW: I'm not one who asks for assistance as his 1st move.

I have been searching for resolution to this problem for @least a week!

Using appropriate keywords the best I have come up with is either others in this same predicament or suggested remedies which are not effective.

The overall picture I have got is that those with the solution seem reluctant to share the knowledge, which I find strange in development communities.
[HTC One X] avicohh:
if you want just access to files inside the img, in windows use this jar attached to convert it to ext4 and then mount with DiskInternals Linux Reader.

or in linux use this tool to unpack.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28837507#post28837507

don't even try to repack it will not work.

if you know how it posible to repack files to this img format please let me know.
[HTC One X] n1cnak:
Thanks heaps avicohh!

I solved the problem only a few hours before your post came in.

I used a slightly different approach through linux but basically same process & result.

If you follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081239

you'll be able to unpack AND repack but it's done in linux.

I used Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64bit) to compile & use the ext4_utils in the thread above.

Since you were so kind to answer my query please feel free to PM me if i can help you!! My use of the forum is sometimes sporadic though, unfortunately.

EDIT: Sorry, just realised we both had the same thread! So it doesn't work for repacking?? I'll see if I can find something that works.

Obviously something does but there's not as much free sharing of really useful stuff as I would have expected with this kind of thing.
[HTC One X] avicohh:
Yap.. is the same thread.

probably the odin (samsung) img and the stock htc img they not exactly the same format.

Wiped cache and flashed aokp_hercules_build-M5_0xD34D.zip

Liked the ROM but noticed that signal bars were there but no data/4G.

Have been roaming the internet for hours now trying to figure out what went wrong.

All I can make sense is that something went wrong with the "radio kernel" or something like that.

Long story short. A guy modded an old play store apk so that there's a section that still shows all the apps you've bought. The newer play apps have all the apps you've ever downloaded, but looks like they got rid of the bought section. It's been modded so that it can run alongside the regular play store without interfering. I'm running Calkulin's el29 2.8.1. I had to copy to /system/app with root explorer, then grab connectbot, run a local, su then cd to directory and chmod it then reboot. It's on modoco's forum. http://www.modaco.com/topic/356009-legacy-play-store-with-all-purchased-apps-visible/ Look for djfoo000's post if you don't know what to do. Like I said, I skipped to the last two commands because I didn't go the adb route. The person who modded the file said he doesn't want mirrors, to just link to the post over there. This is not warez, nor is it trying to steal traffic for making money off them, so I hope this is okay with the mods.

Hey guys,

I've been using my AT&T One X for about 3 weeks now, and the battery life is pretty bad, I'd say around 12 hours tops, not what I would expect from a phone that topped battery life charts in the reviews. I have noticed that Google Maps takes up 33% of my battery life when I don't use it, and even more when I do. Has anyone else noticed this? Shouldn't it be close to 0 when I don't use it? Its as if it stays fully opened constantly in the background.

Do you use the location services? That may be what is eating your battery if you do. You could try to uninstall it, reboot, then reinstall from the market and see if that helps any.
