[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedin07si:
Yea the originial Epic 4G is a Galaxy S1. The Epic Touch is a Galaxy S2 and of course the new Galaxy S3 is self explanatory.

Sorry your were told wrong. But try what was recommended. Back up and format sd card via computer. If you computer won't read it then its probably now a bad sd card.

Also where did you find the tar. file you tried to flash? Usually tar files are flashed via odin. A ROM should not be a tar. file it should be a zip file and is flashed through recovery like cwm or twrp.

Just to clarify, the touch does have odinable roms...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AKush1279:
Ok Im a newbie to the rooted epic 4g touch, now I one clicked my epic 4g touch with sfhubs ff18 one click. Now I heard that they are rereleasing the update to fix ALOT of issues. My question is will I get the notification for the update on my rooted phone and will it put my phone back to unrooted if I do? Also if it doesnt send me the notification will someone be posting another one click no data odin link for the new update so I can get the fix? Sorry but not sure how updates work on rooted phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
There is no new update release. They are resuming the previous release, with the only change being the updater script now automatically wipes data from the Swype keyboard to fix that particular bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AKush1279:
So then they arent fixing the battery issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abhaxus:
The battery issue has been resolved for several people I know that have removed all of their user installed apps and reinstalled one by one till they find the app that isn't ICS ready.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jameson JC:
It might sound weird how i resolved the battery issue. I went to settings and unmounted sd card. Then restarted phone. Then inserted card, mounted, and let it go through its motions, when it stabilized... I restarted it again.

All is well. Run cpuspy to check making sure its going into deep sleep properly, remove apps or set them to manual update. Im not a big Facebook guy, i have an account, but the recent update forced 1 hour check ins, preventing deep sleep. Be vigilant in checking apps anytime they update.

This ff18 (two weeks or so im on it) is fabulous and smooth for me. No rooting, i did the YouTube guy update real easy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wcr84:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
I am looking for a good video player and have tried the following -

Mobo Player

MX Player

I have had great luck with Mobo Player on my HTC Droid Inc but it seems to lockup on my Nexus 7. So right now it seems MX Player is working the best on the Nex 7

Has anyone found one any better than the two I have listed?

Take care and thank a Vet for his/her service to our country.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pabs23:
I tried Mobo, MX, VPlayer and a few others, but BSPlayer is the hands down winner for me. I like the interface, and it has played my vids perfectly. MX player was good I thought, but when I played an mkv I had to set audio to software decode - BS Player seems to handle everything in HW.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regalpimpin:
Dice and the tegra2 plugin have always been the best for me on the prime and the nexus.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
BSPlayer for me as well. I love MXPlayer too but this one just plays every damn file I throw at it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zivan56:
I found that BS Player is the *only* player that can play a video I use to test devices normally (AVC-1 (H264 1080p) and DTS 5.1 audio). VLC can play it fine on my Galaxy Note, but it can't do hardware decoding on the 7. Likewise, it crashes at generating a thumbnail for that same video.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan32:
I also like using Rockplayer Lite, I've yet to find something it can't play.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdermott1:

What's the harm is running software mode? I have yet to play a video that causes slow down. Plus you can ramp up the volume more in software mode.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
For everyone using BSPlayer, is it necessary to install one of the CPU support addons?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wywerny:
Another vote for bs player. Only concern is incapacity to lock screen rotation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pabs23:
To be honest I don't remember, I don't think it did, but as I was trying a good few players at the time I forget exactly which did and which didn't. I don't have any codec listed in my applications list, but being totally new to Android I don't know if a codec would show up in this list. There is a free trial version, definitely worth a try imho.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azoller1:
Mx player was the only for me that used subtitles correctly and it works for every video file I use for it!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
Mostly i'm using dice player or mx player for files on the device. Like the look of vlc but too buggy at the moment to really be usable for me.

Use plex for streaming but considering switching to bubble upnp as library browsing is faster and it sees my existing plex server.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
DicePlayer works great for me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cairdeas:
I'm using MX Player Pro, and as far as I know it uses ffmpeg as a base, so once there is a Tegra3 add-on, I expect more files will work with HW decoding.

A lot of my older files avi/mkv/mpg/mov random bit rates and codecs, still plays them, but HW is usually disabled, or plays video but no sound. The SW decoder has played literally every file I've thrown at it, and does it pretty well, although SW fast mode is fugly.

New files using h264 etc, hardware decoding kicks in, and after watching a dozen or so episodes, it appears when it uses hw, its not as much of a drain on my battery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juami:
ffmpeg tegra2 add-on does not affect MX player's HW accelerations. It is used by SW player.

MX can help SW audio track playback.

But Diceplayer accelerated H.264/MPEG-4 video without container/transport limitations.

If you want to play 1080p/QuickTime movie trailers , MX can not take advantage of HW video decoder, but diceplayer can do it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronaldo Forenucci:
I've been experimenting with this. I just want to navigate to a shared video folder on my Windows LAN, and play from there. I don't want to install server software on the PC. I have 2 file managers (ES File Manager, and File Manager HD). With File Manager HD, it wants to download the file first...so I think I will be getting rid of that. ES File Manager works, but when I right click and Open AS>Video, my drop down list only includes BSPlayer, ES Video Player, and the Android stock Video Player...no MXPlayer Pro. How do I get it in the list?

Secondly, BS Player has a network browser built in, which works great. It'll even add all the .vob files in a DVD folder. It won't use hardware decoding for the .vob files though, only software. I tried forcing it in the options by adding "vob," (V-O-B-Comma) to the decoder list, but it still plays in software.

Any idea on how to add MXPlayer Pro to the video players list in ES File Manager, and how to play DVD files in hardware?

Thanks,

RF

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidnext:
I try them all. My current choice is BS player. The other one I also like is Dice player, but the audio is no good, it has distortion even on low volume. IMO, MX player is horrible, i don't know why some people like it. It can't even decode in HW mode, and in fast SW mode it's OK, but not good compare to other one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianflo:
another vote for mx player.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
1st off, I hate mobo player. :P

My favorite video player for design and UX is Mx Player. It's been my favorite for a long time.

However, dice player is my 2nd favorite, because it plays MKV files flawlessly, with H/W decoding..but I don't like its design as much. also dice player can somehow play almost everything H/W.. Mx player can't play .avi with H/W, but dice player can. I can't figure out why.

Either that or dice player is lying about h/w! :P

but get both Mx Player & Dice player, and use dice player whenever Mx player can't play something.

One note, if you get no audio on Mx player, click on the music note, and select "S/W audio."

If you're not using diceplayer with the ffmpeg.so plugin you're missing out.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R3dbeaver:
for most file, MX Player has the best GUI, capabilities, and quality.

for everything else, VLC Beta is the grandaddy of'em all.

and if u don't like VLC, but love sideloading, installing, compiling, testing, debugging, and all that crap, you can try DICE + ffmpeg.so plugin.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gutterball:
Some of you guys are saying some players play mkv flawlessly but the question is what kind of mkv? Are we talking 1080p here? I had a 1080p vid the other day and it was stuttering all over the place whether it was playing hw or sw mode on both bsplayer or mx or es.

Is dice good for an instance like that? I may have to try that out if so. I mean its a quad core for crying out loud! Should be able to handle any vid really.

QQplayer also deserves an honorable mention they sometimes handle oddball files that other players don't even know to be a vid file.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesseb05:
In my experience streaming 1080p content over wifi is always patchy regardless of device. If I stand directly in front of my wireless n router I am able to stream 1080p with BS. If anywhere else, no chance. It has to be do with limitations with wifi rather than the nexus 7

and i am sirus - a few drops of rain droped on mine flyer and mess it up;

Symptoms: hardware buttons dont lit but work

Scribe icon always lit

From time to time flyer detect like being on charger when it is not

when its locked it unlocks screen alone for no reason.

What to do besides going to sevis wich is not option due to s off and allso watter ofc not a warranty case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jsimonson0:
HTC doesn't care if we root or unlock. At least that's what the reps told me at their EVO 3d launch event last summer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Ok present situation:

all is fin but hard buttons r lit a bit less bright as usual but its ok however;

i sometimes dont have audio playback. On boot the R2D2 sound on Lees GB rom is there but once fully in Android Flyer dont play anything on internal speakers but phone ringing. I can conect BT headset and works fine. From time to time like 1 out of 10 boots even audio is fine.

Secondlly if i hit reboot i get stucked on white scree. If i shut system down and power on it boots fine.

I reflashed 3 dif roms same thing every rom.

Will it die? :( hope not. I can appord dif tab but i siriusly like Flyer but would not buy second one due to abandoned HTC support.

Any hint help much apriciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
Further more:

once it boots and sound works wich is 1 out of 10 trys; i can use HOT reeboot - reebots shel only and it (sound) always work.

Is there any diagnostics i could run for device to see whats going on?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Its probably too late now, but when it was exposed to water, you should have powered it off, taken it apart as much as possible (at least the SD cover), and let it dry in a bag of rice or dessicant packs, for a few days before powering it back on.

At this point, you can try to take it apart, see if there is any moisture inside still, and see if you can clean off any corrosion with alcohol. Its possible that you short circuited something, in which case its fried.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
What is strange is; if its powered off it boots up into android with no problem

once in android i can hot reebot (shell only) and reboots fine.

If i do normal reboot it hangs.

Ring tones always work, boot up tone always work , just play back doesent most of the time.

Really wierd. If it was fried would it not always be unable to boot and play music?

Edit:

i know i am proly in denial stage lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Taking it apart, and trying to clean it may improve things. Otherwise, the damage is done, and its not miraculously going to fix itself.

As for flashing RUU - when going to HC i flashed RUU and recovery stayed revolutionary CWM 4.0 and works now on HC H boot. Was surprised thought every HBOT has diferent recovery

Will report back what happens.

[HTC One X] HRandev:
There is no doubt that HTC One X is the most powerful phone on the market yet, despite it's stock of amazing hardware features it also has a few lacks. And on of the biggest perhaps is the short battery life, but with a few tricks and modifications it is possible to overcome that and so increase the battery life of the best phone yet.

Well I found 6 tricks and extras that can really increase your battery life up to 20%:

1.

KILL APPS USING TASK MANAGER

Notice or not but there are a lot of apps and services running in the background of your phone that suck a lot of battery and most of them are apps that you wouldn't need so killing those processes can increase your battery life.

To kill apps you have to access the task manager:

Press home icon>all apps>search for task manager and launch it.

Now you have the option of killing separate apps (press X on the process you want to end) or just ending the all by touching the stop all button.

2.

Closing open Apps

A great feature in htc one x is also that you switch between open apps but it can also take a lot of battery depending on how many Apps you =have open.

How to close open Apps:

Touch the recent app button (in right to the home button)> now swipe the open Apps (the ones you want to close) to the top.

3.

Disable Transition Animation

Transition Animation also take a lot of batter since the require more ram and disabling them can also increase your ram therewith your overall system performance.

How to Disable Transition Animation:

Go Settings>Display & gestures> uncheck the Animation bar

4.

External Battery

Well there is always an option of getting an external portable battery which is quit inexpensive and can double your battery life.

5.

System directory Modification

Just a few weeks ago a member (mike1986) posted about a file or directory displacement made by HTC that caused the short battery life. And now you can correct it and you could boost you battery life by up to 20%.

LINK TO mike1986 POST

6.

Battery Save App

A battery save app could also be a life save as you can monitor exactly how much on what you're spending and then configure power save modes using apps such as Easy Battery Saver.

You can also turn off services such as 3g/WiFi/GPS to save battery consumption advanced users can also scale the CPU and more system operation with such brilliant app as JuiceDefender - battery saver.

RECOMMENDED BATTERY SAVER APPS:

*JuiceDefender - battery saver* Free

JuiceDefender Ultimate Cost Money

Easy Battery Saver Free

Conclusion:

Following those six step should improve your battery life a lot and should therewith resolve the major issue with the HTC One X.

:good:Please Comment and Thank if you think that this post was helpful.:laugh:​
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

The biggest drain is the screen, so turn down the brightness.

Those other tips are probably more a placebo, and killing tasks is a bad idea on Android. Most of the apps are just loaded into memory but not actively running so not using power, and when your phone screen is off, nothing is running (unless you have a badly behaved application that is). Even if you have most of your memory empty of applications, those memory chips are still drawing the same power regardless, so it makes sense to keep applications in memory. Why? Because when you want to use the app again, the phone doesn't have to waste CPU cycles and power loading the application from the flash memory, then loading the applications saved state, so power is saved. If you never use the app again, and memory is short, it gets unloaded.

There is also the school of thought that if you shut down all background applications and so you lose functionality (background status updates, location services, push mail services, animations, weather displays etc), you then haven't got much of a smart phone!

The system directory modification related to an old version of the firmware, I doubt anyone is effect by that issue now.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] HRandev:
It wouldn't effect your internal system apps

I do appreciate your replay but it only shows you those task that are running separately (not internal system apps) and if you kill them it does make a difference in the overall performance. And some operations like navigation running in the background continuously uses GPS and even Data constantly, so if you end it, it does make a difference.

You are right with the screen brightness, I thought about it and came to a conclusion to just leave it at auto because no one would like a dim display.

So it wouldn't completely turn off your data or calls or corrupt your system since you wouldn't terminate any internal system apps

regards,

HRanDev
