[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kettir:
Back in the day, I used to be able to see a list on my AT&T Motorola Razr of all the cell provider signals in my area. For instance, if I were in Pittsburgh, I could see the list of available networks compatible with my phone (the phone would apparently create the list from actually getting signal from those cell towers) and if I felt like it, I could switch to a different provider that had a stronger signal.

Now that my gs3 is unlocked I'm hoping I can find a way to see that same information. For example, the AT&T signal in an area might be terrible, but there could be another provider that will give me "roaming" coverage with a better signal. I would then switch to that roaming coverage voluntarily on the fly.

Anyone know of a way to do this? Under settings / more settings / wireless and networks / mobile networks I find "network operators". Currently only "default setup" is listed there. But this is where I'd expect to see other network signals that my phone is getting.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitsuoExcel:
Really thinking about buying a Nexus 10, but i'm not sure if it could play from a OTG cable. So here's the process i'm thinking for example.

* Load MakeMKV and take a bluray I own.

* Rip it to MKV without DTS audio

* Copy it to a NTFS formatted Flash Drive

* Mount via Stickmount

* Load from MXPlayer

i'm thinking it should work with a H.264 rip, but i'm not sure about VC-1.

If someone could try this please post results, thanks.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdevega:
Yes it can with no problems. I have a 500 gig slim portable harddrive that gets power off of N10 with no issues playing my mkvs 1080p movies. Something I couldn't do when I had my Infinity. If the native player isnt playing your movie try Dice player or MX player. Also I use Nexus Media importer to detect my hard drive.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitsuoExcel:
i'm assuming your MKVs are rips from an original source without encoding. Does it also handle VC-1 MKVs? Thanks for posting your results.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pg_ice:
no problemo here

but why use MKVs?

just copy the m2ts file to the harddrive and play it

i use BS player since it has the fastest hardware decoding from the players i have tried.

BS player is also the ONLY player that can play the 2560P Timescape video without framedrops (with hardware decoding)

yes i have tested a bunch of other players and all others cant keep a steady framerate in that video.

new update

i have just watched half of the Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray rip

the IMAX scenes(fullscreen on the N10) is up to 40mbit/s but still super smooth at 24fps!

thats what im talking about :)

the screen on this device is ****ing amazing

i have never seen these kind of details even with 1080p HD movies.

halelulia! :)

BS player is a must for the N10

skip all other **** players out there that claims to be the best

btw: im using Nexus media importer

choppy framrate or not playing at all?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuiXilver:
Hi all

Thinking of getting this tablet next month over the Transformer Infinity. My main concern was its ability to play mkv files. I've read some mixed reviews about some being able to play it and others that can't. Those that could seemed to have ripped it themselves.

Would I need to re-encode all my mkv's that I currently have? Or will they play natively with BS or Dice player?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pg_ice:
all MKV movies i have plays most of the part with HW decoding in BS player.

as long as they uses HW decoding they play as they should without framedrops.

some MKV files uses SW (software) decoding and that one is slower so it can be some framedrops with those.

but all MKV/M2TS//TS/MPEG/MP4 you name it plays with BS player and thats great.

they also plays with sound from DTS HD

as i said no problemo :)

just buy one N10

you are going to be amazed with the details this screen shows even at lower res movies like 1080p

you can never get those details with an FULL HD TV at 47" or 50"

the res and the pixeldensity is just to bad

you can call 1080p movies that you watch on the N10 as "Beyond HD"

thats how it looks

NTFS and custom roms

Is anyone else having an issue with ntfs devices and custom roms? Using the cm10 2012-12-23 nightly (and each previous), stock kernel, stickmount, and ntfs-3g in /sdcard/ I have been unable to successfully mount ntfs drives. FAT and FAT32 drives work fine, stickmount throws no error with ntfs drives, but the /sdcard/usbstorage/sda1/ shows up empty. When I disconnect the drive, even after stickmount unmount, android shows the unexpected removal warning.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcnice:
I have ripped my copy of the dark knight rises using makemkv and I transferred the resulting 37Gb mkv file to a 1Tb USB HD (does not use external power). When I try and play it, it takes forever,plays a couple of seconds, freezes and so on. Audio is ropey at best.

I have then tried using DVDfab to rip the Blu Ray to the HD and try and play those files. Same result.

I then converted it into a 12Gb mkv using handbrake and this is still not much better.

I have tried BSPlayer (BS.... I should say. If I try and chnage the audio track, it crashes. Try and do anything and it crashes).

Works ever so slightly better in MX player, but not much. How did you get smoot playback?

Would it be the Hard disc asit is does not use ext power (It's a samsung 2.5" USB3 thingy) or do I need to encode it?

Thanks.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johan1976:
dcnice had some problems to play movies from a USB powered portable harddrive.

You don't have those problem?

Is the battery draining fast when playing from portable harddrive?

Since I primarily will use the portable harddrive for movies when in my car (kids wathcing movies) I assume the best option for me would be to get a harddrive that can be powered from USB but has the option to get additional power from another USB jack. Then I can hook the extra power cable to the USB charger in my car.

Thankful for any recommendations.

Edit:

If I use a USB hub like this and connect the male to my USB Host cable from my Nexus 10 and one female to my car USB charger and another female to my portable harddrive. Will this work?

I am not familiar how you can "add" power to a USB connection. This might even charge my Nexus 10??

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valohtar:
Anyone know if there's a place where I can order a spare volume button, the part that goes under the volume rocker? There's a little black nub that sits on the end of the metal volume button. When you press down on the volume rocker, it hits the nub which presses down the button and registers the click. Somehow when taking apart my phone, that little piece fell off. :( Without it, I couldn't press volume up. I managed to hack a solution together by just using some card stock and scotch tape in order to press the button, but I'm sure it won't hold.

The nub and the metal button seem to be one piece so I was hoping that it would possible to find *somewhere*, but I somewhat doubt it. Seems a bit too specialized.

In any case, let it be a warning to anyone wanted to open their case to be careful with it.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. I was being a bit too specific in my searches.

Recently I flashed my SGS i9000 to CM10 with CWM and then CM9. Now I want to downgrade to the stock GB rom. Is there any clean instruction to do that? I've searched for a long time to have a clear idea about the exact procedure and found several tutorials. But they are confusing. Some says that I have to use Odin with the re-partition option checked but someone says, don't do that. What exactly should I do? Which version of Oding should I use? Should I flash with Bootloader/ update Bootloader?

Another question is, which is the latest stock GB rom? Please help me providing download link.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
How I do it every time:

Go to sammobile.com. From there download XXJW4 (I use it). Unzip it and you'll find just one .tar file.

Also beforehand go find a file named dbdata.rfs (I think it is).

Open Odin with your phone connected in download mode. Click on PDA and navigate to the .tar file.

DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT THAT.

Press start. Give it a moment while it flashes everything in.

Now your phone will boot- in a bootloop. Dom't worry. Take the battery out, reconnect and go into download mode. Connect and open Odin.

Again, click on PDA and find dbdata.rfs. Again, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE.

Press start. It'll flash in that one file.

Done. :D

[HTC One X] Havoc2510:
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have looked at the other posts which relate to a very similar problem, but none of them have quite the same problem as me. Basically, all the phone will do is show the 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' loading screen and it is stuck in a reboot cycle. I can access the bootloader and I have tried to factory reset with no luck.

I was watching a YouTube tutorial on how to flash CM10 onto my One X (I do have ClockworkMod and all of that stuff installed already). Everything was going well, but the video only briefly (for maybe a second) mentioned the fact that you have to put the CM10 zip folder onto the phone storage before you flash the boot.img. I went on and followed the steps and tried to flash the boot.img, but as I said earlier, all the phone will do is reboot over and over again. I have charged it to full battery so this should not be a problem when I go to fix it.

I would be really grateful for any help on the subject as I contacted the person who made the tutorial, and he has not responded. Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] SidDev:
Have you placed the ROM's zip file in your phone's root?

If you haven't, go to fastboot and flash CWM 5.8.4.0 and then go into recovery > mounts and storage > mount USB. Now place your ROM into the storage and flash it via install zip from SD card. Don't forget to wipe data partition, cache partition and Dalvik cache.

If this wasn't your case, just try erasing data partition, cache and Dalvik cache again.

If it still doesn't work, try flashing another ROM.
[HTC One X] Havoc2510:
Thank You!!!

Thank you

so

much. I had CWM 5.8.4.0 already, all I had to do was mount USB and put the CM10 zip on the phone storage! I also wiped the caches, the phone works better now than it ever has :D. Thank you so much again, really appreciate the help :)

Long story short...I have a legit Windows Phone Developer account and I want to unlock my Lumia 920. I know the unlock tool is part of the WP8 SDK, but the only problem is that the SDK requires Windows 8 64-bit. As of now, the only Windows 8 install I have is on my Samsung tablet, so I can't install it on there since its not 64-bit.

Is there a way to just get the registration tool without installing the 1.5+GB SDK? Or is there a way to do it from Windows 7?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illuzn:
I think the zip doesn't work but not because it needs a zune connected phone. Instead the issue is that the tool is probably missing some common files or something like that. It asks to connect the phone to the computer and points at a potential problem with the windows phone passthrough service (although there is no problem because the device can be browsed perfectly fine).

I'm not real happy with the stock Gallery. One thing

DO NOT LIKE

about the Gallery is that it shows ALL GRAPHIC FILES from the main memory by default -- including useless icon and other app-related images. You have to select Menu, View by, Content in device to filter them out and only display your content -- which doesn't make any sense. Plus, it doesn't seem to save that setting for future use nor does it cache the information on the images so it always reloads them which makes access slow.

Any speculation as to whether the FM Radio in the AT&T 920 will \ could be enabled. If Nokia gets paid a cut of the Nokia music purchases I can see why they think disabling the FM Radio is a good idea.

Do any of the 920s overseas come without Nokia Music and\or have FM enabled?

This thread doesn't actually say that the rest of the hardware is in the handset (ie the wiring to the headphone jack as antenna for example), so maybe it is simply impossible:
