Possible to make work for people outside of the UK?

Thanks!

Have you tried the two files dont know if they will work outside uk .I just posted them from my phone
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloatingFatMan:
Not possible without going through a VPN service in the UK. BBC is restricted to UK residents only, we pay a license for it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol-oz:
im based in australia and i use unblockus DNS service. i get around the location issues for content but im having issues with google play store to download the iplayer apps. Im looking for the apk of the new BBC media player

i am using it on a galaxy tab with android v3.2. i already have flash v11.1 on here and it wont work with iplayer. the old version of the bbc media manager loads but just wont do anything without the latest version

I have v1.1.0 but its refusing to work and saying i need the latest version which according to the play store is 1.2.2. i cant find 1.2.2. anywhere and was hoping a kind soul could upload it plz??
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloatingFatMan:
Technically, as you're clearly bypassing the location restriction, giving you the APK would come under warez. UK citizens have to pay for the BBC with a TV license fee, and part of that fee pays for the development of the iPlayer app. Even though it's free on the store, it's not actually free.

BBC Media Player

Hi Folks,

Just FYI, I was scanning the Play Store last night, and noticed that the BBC Media Player is now available. This replaced the requirement for Flash Player within iPlayer (iPlayer calls out to the BBC Media Player to display it's DRM'd stream), and both are updated for Jelly Bean, so no longer any need for all the futzing around with Flashplayer APKs now.

G.

Edit: Noticed Daz2000 posted a link to the mediaplayer earlier.

What brand and from where would anyone recommend me to buy a new battery for my Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soadfan:
U can use one of these chinese batteries. Currently i'm using one 3000 mah for about 10 euros. After 4-5 months it started to keep less charge (about 2 days heavy use, 4 days in the begining for comparison). But it is ok for me - 10 euros for half a year
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steven How:
Yoobao or momax also not bad,require no backdoor.. capacity 1500..normal is 1300mah

Hi guys, I have a weird problem, I am using insertion by siulmagic, latest version, before that I installed blackout ROM, since installing that I put my phone to charge at around 40-50% and keep it overnight, when I wake up in morning charging light is still red, I charge it by turning phone off, I don't think it's battery problem, because when I charge it while phone is on, it charges normally, I don't want to keep phone on all night, please advise, I wiped and re-installed ROM, I calibrated battery, but it didn't help :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDogg1329:
There's no substitute for a good battery. The cheap Chinese batteries won't last as long and they're probably lying about the capacity.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
Hello,

Seems like Google's busy again huh?

Notable new features:

-Google Now enhanced

-Google Play enhanced

-Stock Video Player updated

-Project Road Runner to increase your battery life 3 folds

-and more!

Hopefully these improvements do not require any help from Samsung? Gawd if a new hwcomposer is needed etc then we will be out of luck since Samsung probably will ditch us after 4.1...

Let's hear your thoughts.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
Reservation made.
[Galaxy S II General] okmijnlp:
Sounds interesting. I can understand Project Roadrunner being legit. Android 4.1 is as smooth as a baby's arse, so improving the battery is understandable. If everything else is true, KLP is going to be amazing.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
Rumours originated from a very accountable source that has been correct in predicting what Google will come out with in every android version so I guess this one is legit?
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
This is the I9100 forum, spam somewhere else.
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
I find it hard to believe that road runner will be implemented to every device that gets the update. Nexus devices most certainly (they get everything) but I think the development to bring that to every device that's able to receive KLP will be too great and time consuming.

[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
Lol but in fact this is on topic as this is a discussion whether Samsung will ditch us and whether it is possible for KLP to be ported to our phones. :banghead:
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
It is very possible it could be ported but if it is and there's no official release from Samsung for the i9100 its going to be very hard for the devs to pull apart the sources from another device, (say the i9300) and try to merge it together for ours. Most likely miss alot of key features. Like with JB devs cannot manage to get butter working, and their only hope is when JB is officially released, but even then there's rumours going around that the s3 won't even have a properly working project butter.

The LG Optimus Nexus will be a monster of a phone with that quad core Krait. There really isn't much reason to buy any other phone for the foreseeable future, unless you want a 13MP camera which the Xperia T ably provides.
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
I don't think the majority of flash addicted people on xda will worry to much about the camera quality, but more about the power, support and development that all nexus phones bring.

Sent from Jelly Fuelled SGS2
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Precisely my point. If the LG is the only Nexus device released this time round (rumors point to 4 other devices by other brands), I can see XDAers gobbling up the LG Optimus Nexus.

The choice is much easier this time around, unlike the Galaxy Nexus which wasn't that much better spec wise than its contemporaries.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
Wouldn't there be a new galaxy nexus soon? I heard its much better. It might come with android 4.2...???
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
If project roadrunner is all about the efficiency of the usage of the soc, then it might not work on exynos devices too.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
There's rumors of it as well, but personally at this current point in time I feel that the rumors for the LG Optimus Nexus are more "concrete",if that's the word for it.

Androidauthority has a write up on it:

http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-nexus-2-plus-gt-i9260-here-what-we-know-118932/

The specs don't look encouraging. It seems to be only a slight upgrade over the old i9250, and is packing a dual-core A9 CPU.

Now, I realize that not everyone goes for specs, but I'm a specs guy and the Optimus Nexus is the most exciting phone for me in quite a while. :fingers-crossed:

AFAIK, nobody knows how exactly it's supposed to work right? Maybe it's a rework of the software internals? If I have to guess, maybe it's a radical rewrite of the Dalvik VM to make it much more efficient, or aggressive optimization of Android OS itself.
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
There will be multiple nexus phones. Don't you guys read the latest news? The nexus program will see huge changes.
[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
Google wants more revenue lol
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Yes but seeing as there's no news of other Nexus devices, either they are in early stages of development, or their manufacturers are really good at keeping secrets.
[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
manufacturers arent good in keeping secrets .!!
[Galaxy S II General] Orkane1989:
For all we know at the moment with the upcoming range of nexus devices this new project road runner could just be for those devices until sometime down the track devs may be able to find a workaround for other phones.

Edit: That's my opinion anyway :)

[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
Is Android getting too fragmented now?

I'm sticking with ICS because of no flash and no interest in any of the key features of current JB ROM's and I will probably not upgrade even when the official JB release from Samsung is released.

IF the rumours are true about LG and other manufacturers releasing Nexus phones with 4.2 then what is the point of buying non Nexus line phones that won't get updates as frequently or rapidly as Nexus line handsets?

I owned the original Nexus One and I loved it. I now think I made a mistake going with the S2. At the time I would have had to wait a month for the Gnex to be released so in haste I went with flagship Samsung phone thinking that the development scene was healthy for the handset and updates wouldn't be a problem, with either regular official updates or custom ROM's.

For me there is very little point buying anything other than a Nexus phone now. The manufacturers cannot hope to compete with Nexus phones with their skinned OS offerings and custom chipsets.

Why would you want a phone that may be "flash bang" for 6 months and then only to be left behind because you're told that your phone is non standard with Nexus phones and is harder to develop for?

Android has always been fragmented compared to iOS but the rush to upgrade and banish perfectly decent older smart phones in to obsolescence is ridiculous.

I doubt the S2 will get an official Samsung KLP 4.2 update and if JB is anything to go by the port won't work properly.

Is this the end of manufacturer flagship phones? There are no compelling reasons for my why anyone would want anything other than a Nexus phone now. In fact, I am so p**sed off with the situation I may even consider another OS platform when I next upgrade!
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
Sorry I don't get you:eek:

I think the Nexus certification thingy Google is planning is great, more Nexus phones, Google updates, use custom UI crap only if you want to.

Choice of different devices from different manufacturers etc.

Of course there will be no reason to buy a non-Nexus, but I for one don't care, why should I?

If people will still buy non-Nexus phones, then they should expect to be left out on updates after a few months and that will be their own fault.

Next time they will be buying a "certified" Nexus phone :D

I hope this program will be a huge success, I like stock Android experience, but the Galaxy Nexus was to weak back then.
[Galaxy S II General] mckeowngoo:
What's not to get?
[Galaxy S II General] :
I don't think that Nexus variants will be as powerful (in terms of hardware) as OEMs flagships (they will be strong enough of course. According to rumors the LG variant is supposed to be a beast!!!). And I am 100% sure that none of non-nexus devices will be left behind after few months. No need to overreact. Another thing pure google UI is not equally eye candy as TW, Sense, Motoblur etc. The majority of ordinary users will thus still rather go for non-nexus flagships than appreciate nexus advantages, I suppose.

*I sold my S2 last week and ordered GNex ....on ebay, cos it's practically out of the stock and out of sale in Sweden. Only few retailers still offer them for....ridiculously high prices (sometimes even higher than in case of S3!). On the other hand you can still buy S2 for reasonable price. Market popularity of those two handsets cannot be even compared.
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
This:

Just buy a Nexus phone, why do you care about manufacturer flagship phones?

If the LG rumors are true, it will be a flagship phone :D
[Galaxy S II General] :
I highly doubt it. Their UI is the part of their product they offer (trademark). I am not saying it's impossible, just improbable. (On the other hand I heard a lot of LG users complaining about their firmware...so maybe they realized they're not good at it ;) )
[Galaxy S II General] TheSpaceManatee:
I always thought LG was not on par with other manufacturers such as Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Logi_Ca1:
Software wise they aren't. Hardware wise they can be on par. Take the Optimus 4X. I actually find it to be a very good phone for the price, the only thing missing is an unlocked bootloader, which hopefully this Optimus Nexus will have.

Just bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and the homescreen has 4x4 icons only!!!?? What they thinking !!?? On such a large screen a 4x4 icon only!!!??

I know you can add another launcher, but then you loose functionality like pop-up notes when you pull out the pen, probably multi-screen too etc.

This really SUCKS!!

Is there some Touchwiz setting for this?//
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] methosivanhoe:
Well i can say multiscreen works perfectly with the Nova launcher, i've had that launcher on the Note 2 since i bought it, and it runs perfectly...

Haven't noticed any problems with the pen or system using Nova, though i'll admit that it doesn't pop up with Notes when you take the pen out, not a massive compremise for having a better launcher though, haven't tried using it with ADW or any other launcher though

All my incoming calls are unknown. I've unbricked and tested this on cm10 and stock att GB. This is really puzzling, I've called my provider to make sure the feature is enabled.. why don't I get caller id?..... scratches head. I have also swapped out basebands v10j, v20e and v10h to see if baseband made a difference ..

I am using an unlocked bell p930 on rogers lte (cm10 running right now)... can anyone help get my caller id back ?

Thanks
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Things I'd try:

1) Put your SIM in another phone and see if that phone receives correct Caller ID or not. If it doesn't, it's a network or SIM problem, not the phone.

2) Install the official Bell ICS update. Not HO!NO!'s flashable version -- install the actual update from LG that will revert everything to 100% stock. I don't know if you've already tried this.

If it still doesn't work after that, I don't have any clue what is going on.
[LG Nitro HD] aa5if:
This issue is caused by Roger's "name display". Unfortunately no roms (that I've found) for the P930 work with name display..you can either call Rogers and have them disable the name display part of your caller id...or try to code it yourself.. there's a guide available

here
[LG Nitro HD] Boomgawd:
See I knew about cnap and actually asked rogers to shut it down. They said it wasn't possible as the value pack I was on included it. So I canceled the value pack and now pay 8 bucks for vanilla caller id and an extra 10 for some txt messages.. that's 3 bucks more than the value pack that also included voice mail, call waiting, forwarding and name display. But even with the name display removed I'm still getting unknown ..

I'm actually pretty pissed.. as a business man I need to know who is calling. At least a number so I can triage my calls.

Seriously annoyed at this. Thanks for the link, looks like ill be spending a weekend figuring this garbage out. Wtf, why is this even an issue.

Thanks again everyone..
[LG Nitro HD] w0095157:
give the stock att gingerbread 2.3 its more of an issue with ics os and jellybean and something , anyway same issue with me on rogers i can say gingerbread will work for caller id with name display , ive tried all the roms avaliable in posts for this reason and others.

Well, I still havent gone back to 100% stock but I have tried codenameandroid 3.4.5 and still no luck.. (this rom states it has name display enabled).. can someone else having issues with caller ID / name display confirm they have tried this new rom and are still in the same boat?
[LG Nitro HD] Boomgawd:
For those that care, after restoring to stock GB and still having no caller id I decided it was time to try something else. I grabbed the sim from my work phone, slapped it in my nitro HD and presto, caller id works. So I went to rogers today purchased a new sim and my issues are resolved. Name display works too ..
