haha. true.

i have huge hands (not to mention my height, 6 feet 2 inches).. i had been using the Note since April, before switching to the Note 2 earlier this week, and the transition was very smooth..

before the Note, I used (any guesses?) an iPhone 4 32 GB for 2 years..

now, I cant even possibly think of going to a smaller screen, let along an iPhone..

my brother has a Galaxy S3, and I feel even thats puny in my hands (even though the difference between a Note 2 and a S3 is smaller than a Note 2 and an iPhone 4/5)...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tutusinghsohi:
720x1280? Isint that something you would do if the video was horizontal?

i converted 6 movies with the following settings on Xilisoft Video Converter, and they are brilliant..

keep in mind i do not use the default video player.. i use MX Player ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en ) to watch my videos.. i also use it to watch streaming videos..

i use this because it not only gives me the option to resize videos to fit screen size, but also swiping back and forth on the screen allows me to fast forward and rewind by seconds of my liking, giving me more control..

make sure if you install this, you also install all the free codec types available..

it not only plays formats playable by the Note 2 by default, it plays a host of other formats such as .mkv (if you really really want pretty good quality, and dont care about the size of the video)..

anyways, here are the settings i used on the Xilisoft Video Converter to convert videos for my Note 2 -

Profile - Andriod - Android (320x240) - H.264 Video (you can choose a higher resolution, this gives you a smaller size.. eg. 854x480)

These settings are available on the right panel

Video Size - 1280x720 (videos will be converted to the highest resolution the Note 2 supports)

Video Quality - Normal (you can push it up to High if you want, increasing the size... but if you are already converting a video from a good quality, then there is no need to chance this)

Audio Quality - High (here, i'm willing to accept a size increase by ~100 mb, but normally it wont be that much.. no fun watching a movie with crappy sound quality)...

Going to advanced settings

Zoom - Full (keep aspect ration)

Aspect Ratio - 16:9

Volume - 100% (bump if you your video is not loud enough... may distort the clarity a bit, obviously)..

and there you have it..

Xilisoft

Hello Tutusinghsohi

I am using Xilisoft as well.

They have a preset for Note2 but the bitrate is 4000. So final file is super large. It takes like 5 hours to convert. And if I lower the bitrate, the video will NOT play on the phone.

Please tell me, what bitrate do you use?

Any tips?

Thanks

Julien
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] serpent2005:
I use MeGUI. It's completely free. It took some configuring, but I can convert targeting a specific filesize. I find 2GB is a good target filesize for average length movie with good video quality.

I'm using xilisoft and has a preset already for galaxy note 2. I'm just surprised at the conversion. the movie was 700mb and end conversion became 3gb. it's a bit high for a mobile video IMHO

Transcoding? Ick.

I just throw the mkvs I download straight onto my SD card and play them with no issues. 720p or 1080p.

I've also been using AllShare to throw them up on my 55" Samsung HDTV since my HTPC has been down, works great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] theraker007:
just use VLC media player... if you open the file menu theres an option to convert media files in there. And its free and not spyware like most of those converters around on the internet.
[Windows 8 General] eddy4823:
The Lumia 505 specs are mostly unknown for now - all the carrier's Facebook account gave us was the 8 megapixel camera. We can also see that there's not going to be a flash of any kind alongside the camera.

However, the Windows key at the front features the old WP logo, so it's all but certain that the smartphone will be running some Windows Phone 7 version.

Now a closer look at its homescreen shows the support for resizable live tiles, so it's obvious that the smartphone will be running Windows Phone 7.8 out of the box.

There are also rumors of a 4" WVGA display, 800MHz CPU, 4GB of storage and 256MB of RAM, which make sense, but are yet to be confirmed. It would be a strange if Nokia invested too much effort in the design of a smartphone that is going to be exclusive to a Mexican carrier, so the Lumia 505 is most probably little more than a redesigned Lumia 510.

Guerrero Movil promised to reveal more information on the Nokia Lumia 505 in a week, so we won't have to wait long to find out.

This may or may not help, I'm not making any promises :)

The media server likes to scan all of your memory (internal and external) looking for media files. But you can stop this for folders which you know are not relevant.

So I put a file called '.nomedia' which is 0 bytes (it should already be in some folders, or you can create on your pc) in every folder on my sdcard without media. esp the ones used for TWRP/CWM backups as they are huge. And others like Android data.

The other thing is to make sure your extsdcard is formatted with Fat32 (use guiformat.exe).

Hi, i have recently tried to change dpi in a couple of stock roms, like ultima, wanam, vikingway and a couple of others. Could some one please re create ultima with 240 dpi as stock? i would just love to have that since i think everything is way to large on my screen i eaven have hard times to read stuff cuz its too big, i saw there are a couppme of modified stock apps in apps and themes forum that support 240 dpi. so if any one is up for it please help me. i have tried to change dpi my self after installing any rom but just ends up with endless boot. thanks in advance. the reason i would like to have ultima as base for that rom is that i have a great battery life with it, and then i mean really great five days battery life with my daily use, other roms does 1-2 days. paranoid is not an alternative since there is many bugs in cm10.
[HTC One X] nucky thomson:
Hey Fellaz,

another noob, another question:

I'm kinda getting into the process to root my device and install a custom ROM, which in my case will be Slim Bean.

But first I want to wait for the official JB Update via OTA and after that i want to root my phone and install the custom ROM.

My Question won't be how to do it, don't worry.

Here it goes:

When i receive the update, will the rooting process be any different from when you do it on ICS ? I mean there are lots of guides on the internet, how to flash fastboot and CWM and so on.

There are links to fastboot, to the htc drivers, to the CWM, the files you need to do that. My Question is, will those be outdated when you have JB or does all stay the same ?

The same for Slim Bean, will the flashing process stay the same if I have official JB or will the files change which i need to use (hboot and stuff) ? I just coudn't find information if all the necessary files only run if you go from ICS>JB.

In my case i will be going from official JB>custom JB rom.

Jesus my english sucks when i'm excited, sorry !

Thanks in advance and have a nice day !
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Nope....nothing changed. All in the same way
[HTC One X] nucky thomson:
thanks for the reply !

And what will be about the hboot, if I get the official JB update, will there still be a need to chance hboot in order to flash Slim Bean ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Don't think so, slim bean is a JB rom ? And after the update you will be on a JB hboot ...well that's clear as glass i think ;)
[HTC One X] nucky thomson:
alright thanks, yes Slim Bean is an AOSP based JB rom
[HTC One X] nucky thomson:
As I saw in the JB Thread there will be a problem and in the second post of the JB discussion thread, it says that out there is only 1 rom which supports the hboot version coming with the JB Update.

So what's the truth now ? Can't anyone make a clear statement ?

FYI, I have been using a double size 5400 mAh battery by Zlazam. In fact I recently bought a 2nd one to always have a spare during travel. This battery comes with a cover. It works very well and over a month of use have not seen a decrease in its ability to hold the full charge (still early though). Typically the battery lasts all day even with continued use. I bought these at Amazon. With an exacto knife I made a cutout in the lower portion of my gel softcover. This works well giving me edge protection and good grip. Thought I'd mention it..

You can have multiple instances on the home screen (I use 3) and it has a nice integration with your calendar and can show your appointments on the screen. Touching the sun/moon brings you to the weather page, else you can get to the calendar app. Very battery friendly.

What App did you end up settling with as a replacement? I checked out the ones people recommended but they all seem to miss some option that BW does. Example: I like the refresh on wake option. None of the other apps had that option. HD Widgets was the closest to replacing BW for me, it just misses on the configuration ability. So in the end, I went back to BW.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
I found the same as you. I had a backup of previous version of BW, and restored back to that, and have stopped updating it. I suspect the day will come when that won't work, but that'll probably be a while.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Megiddo2000:
Hey guys.

I was trying to tether my S2 recently and it won't transfer data. Devices can connect to it but the device won't connect to the internet through my phone's data connection.

I did some research and it turns out that the problem stems from my APN. Currently it's set to APN Type: internet + mms + supl; however, in order for data tethering to work, I need to throw in a 'dun' there. The problem is, there's no option to set 'dun' into the apn type.

So far I've tried inserting it with APN Manager but it doesn't work. I've deleted my system/data/data/com.android.provider.telephony/database files to reset my APN's to none. Then I manually inserted one with internet + mms + supl + dun using APN Manager. However, when I select it, the 'dun' parameter seems to vanish while the others stay.

I am currently using SHOstock I ROM (2.3.6, not ICS version)

I would really appreciate some help. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
I have never seen nor heard of this "dun" parameter. Where did you read about that? Tethering works fine for me and I am using the stock APN settings, and I'm sure most others are too. You could test in on a different ROM perhaps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Megiddo2000:
Go to your apn's and look through your APN types. There's a dun parameter that allows connected wifi devices to access data.

Devices can connect to my phone but can't make use of my data for this reason.

I know there's always the last resort of reflashing another ROM but, once again, that's a last resort for me.

Since the other thread was about 32GB microSD, I'll give some pretty definitive evidence. There was some pretty inconclusive posts in that thread, anyways, so I bought 3 16GB microSD cards: Sandisk Class 10, a Samsung Class 6, and a Sandisk Class 4.

Each one was formatted with the SDFormatter made by the SD Association themselves. I ran a 500MB test; results were very similar, so I just ran 100MB x3 on Crystal Disk Mark.

Results:

Any way you slice it--random reads/writes, sequential reads/writes--

the Sandisk Class 10 wins

. These results are for these specific cards, but I think this goes against some of the conventional wisdom that Class 4 has the best random read/write speeds. :)

I have installed the root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA rom and have no problems.

I cannot get the sim unlock to work, I want to go back to stock and flash the StockROMs.net-SGH-T999_TMB_1_20120523140229 Original UNROOTED.zip

would it be possible to make a CWM backup of the current rom and data,

then flash the un-rooted rom, and unlock the sim

and then, use CWM to restore the current rom and data?

if so, maybe some kind "guru" could give me some detailed steps to accomplish this?

I'd be most appreciative!
