[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tyfighter:
Normally I don't really advertise for apps, but this one was pretty awesome. Its kind of like xbmc or boxee, so it can autosearch posters and info on your media providing its properly labelled. In my (limited) testing, it was able to play both (sd) avis and (sd & 720p) mkvs without breaking a sweat.

But where it really shines is it has built in support for smb and upnp drives! I've got a tb of videos on an smb share and before this, my go to way to play it on android was: browse smb on file expert, open video location as a link in the browser and then stream that link from mxplayer/vlc. That worked, but it was really limited (couldn't skip ahead or behind, couldn't resume after leaving the app, even just for a second). This archos player can do all of that. Definitely worth my five bucks because that's something I use almost every day.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] edikt:
Why not use vlc
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tyfighter:
Vlc is fine for stuff that's on my memory card, but its pretty limited when it came to playing files from my network shares. For example, it would freeze if I tried to skip ahead on the timeline or more annoying, if I left the app for any reason. Archos is more comparable to vlc on my PC with the network shares. I can skip ahead, exit out and fire off a text and it even saves my place in a video if I were to start watching something else. Not to mention its got its own in-app smb browser tha's super easy to use (maybe vlc has this too, I just had used file expert to find my files on smb, same way I always did with mxplayer before that)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] law.tout@gmail.com:
Hi there

I am fairly newish to rooting etc and have spent the last week trawling the P1000 forums to try and understand it all.

I would like to take my P1000 GSM TAB from my stock GB2.3.3 to JB4.x and from what i have seen although the CM9 is stable I am tempted to go for the CM10 nightly install. (Do they differ greatly? not sureeven after reading the forums)

I am not sure how much such an install would differ from the tweaked CM10 versions I also see on this dev forum from the likes of Erezax (Sapir), Cdesai and Alroger etc. Only in minor ways i suppose with the possibility of further undiscovered bugs.

So from what i can gather, the method would be similar to that laid down in the Overcome installation pdf.

My question though is do i need to go the whole hog and install the overcome kernal/rom prior to installing the CM10 or can i just go as far as installing the stock GBStockSafev5 (which i want to do just in case, even though i have a stock ver of GB already) and then do a wipe install of CM10?

I ask because i read that it was even safer to go from an overcome rom with GB to CM10, as opposed to going from stock GB to CM10. Is there any truth in this would u know.?

many thx in advance for any reply

best rgrds

Lawrence

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardyhaase:
When powering up the Tab 7 is stuck on the Samsung logo. The guy I got this Tab from says he was updating Jellybean. Going into download mode gets stuck on the "do not remove target!!!" screen. When I go to factory reset and I try to erase all data there's a "format failed /dev/block/stl10/" warning. Odin will recognize the tablet when in factory reset mode, but then trying to go back to the stock ROM fails with the error message that it can't connect to the serial/com port. In download mode Odin can't recognize the Tab at all. It seems that when I am in factory reset mode the XP drivers load just fine, but when I need it (in dowload) then there are issues. Kies only gets stuck on 'Connecting'. What can I do to fix this? Thanks!

It's a GT-P1000M...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abihakim:
My GT-P7500 experienced this before when Flashing ODIN with PC (Yes, it stucked at download mode)

Desperately i use my laptop and Surprisingly it goes well with.

If you already have CWM

Try to Wipe Factory, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Wipe OS (On Advanced). It'll wipe everything

Also install Samsung USB driver

Go to download mode, Flash the .zip (rom) with ODIN 1.85

That's what i did with my "Bricked" GT-P7500. Now as you can see. I posted this with it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardyhaase:
I managed to get the Tab recognized in Odin, it's doing something else now with the phone--exclamation--computer icon screen flashing...I realize I'm in the wrong forum plus this is a different issue, so I'm moving. Thanks anyways!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] otisshan:
Just bought a xperia TX few weeks ago

But I feel that there are some problems during I use.

Sometimes when I want to wake it up from standby mode

It doesn't wake up and the screen keeps nothing appears

But the notification light still works, so that the phone should still working and not ran out of battery

The solution I use is pull the battery off and place it again....

This happened about 4 times in a week...:rolleyes:

My phone is 7.0.A.3.197

even it is rooted or not, the situation still here.

Is there any idea to solve it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] titusxperia10:
Had exactly the same problem with my T and tried every posible documented solution but nothing worked. So I just dropped my T to service yesterday and expecting to collect it tonight, after that we'll see what the problem really is. The guy from sony said they have had this issue in the U and Sola but nothing reported so far on the T. He claimmed however that for this issue is to be settle in first quarter 2013 via update of course, in those devices. But did not mention something about this in the T.

In anyway I don't feel like is software related, my bet goes to a hardware issue in some unlucky devices.

I started a post here called Xperia T SOD so keep an eye on it as later on I'll report my findings after the Sony Service job.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] otisshan:
Sorry for push back the post.

I noticed that this situation happened when I connected to my home's wifi for a long time.

Because during the holidays, the times of my phone suddenly dead from sleeping mode is increased.

I am using mobile data at outside and Wifi at home, and the situation always happen at home, so that I think that the phone maybe dead from sleeping mode in a significant condition, that means the Wifi connection.

I tried to set the wifi keep on during sleep only when plugged in, then the the situation haven't happen again in previous two weeks!:laugh:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iOStoAndroid:
New Nexus 4 (few days)

Everything great, battery life not fabulous and gets hot fairly quickly (eg watching a 5 minute video) - expected I think

But the back speaker makes some sort of static noise, even when on silent. Not all the time but certainly there say 1 in 5 times when a sound is supposed to made by a touch (eg launching an app, using back/home/multitaking sofware buttons)

The sound from the speaker itself is OK

Would that be enough to request an exchange?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentt1:
I would say it only really matters how you feel about it. Return it if it bothers you less than the RMA procedure which is pretty smooth but slow for some.

Some people would say you shouldn't be picky, others would say you're crazy to accept a new phone that isn't in perfect condition.

I'd also factor in that many people, myself included, have got their second phone and the same issue is present.

My Verizon Galaxy Nexus started having data issues on Wifi a few days ago. Whenever the phone is sitting idle with the screen off, it doesn't seem to be connected to Wifi data.

I had the same issue with Bugless Beast with root. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prostang:
There may be a setting in the WiFi area to not shut off when hibernating. That was an option in Liquid & a couple of others. Once I toggled that off/on, it began to function properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greenskidog:
I looked in the advanced Wifi settings, and there is a section "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" and that is set to Always, and I am still having the problem.

I also tried changing this setting to Never, and still have the same issue.

Hi guys I have a Facebook account I used to use but I deactivated it years ago. However it is the best source for keeping my contacts having their preferred picture.

On my vivid I was able to log on to Facebook, sync contacts, and all of their pictures would show up on my contacts in the phone. Then I could deactivate Facebook and the pictures would stay.

On my hox+ I'm unable to do that?? As soon as I deactivate the contacts pictures go away. Anyone know if there's a way I can have both deactivated and their pictures saved?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Hello,

I've seen alot of threads about the exynos exploit and also available fixes, but i have a question i couldnt find the answer to.

my device is not rooted yet, If I root my Note 10.1 (Jellybean 4.1.1 Stock UK rom) using anyone of the methods available, and get SuperSU or Superuser on my tablet, will the exploit still be there?

so if I have SuperSU or Superuser the exploit wont exist because any app trying to get root access will need my permission to do so?

so basically the question is, if I am rooted, is the exploit still a problem (do i still need to install the fix):confused:

Regards to all,,,,,thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akxak:
The exploit has nothing to do with a rooted/non-rooted device.

The exploit allows any app (without aquiring root permissions) to write into any part of the memory by the samsung camera driver and by that getting root permissions. The system will not notify that and thus, a request to allow it will not occur.

To fix this, the faulty memory driver used by the camera needs to be fixed. Chainfire published a fix which might turn the camera unuseable.

If I was going to install a custom ROM or Kernel, can it update OTA?

For example, if I downloaded Cyanogen mod 10.1 and Francos r17 kernel, is there a button in the settings somewhere to download the latest update once it's released?

Any other things I should do when I first turn it on?

Only ever used an iPhone before this, so no idea what I should be doing :)

Can I sync with iTunes?

I know where the folder in which iTunes stores music files is, but it would nice if it would sync with iTunes.

Lastly, any fun/useful apps?

I'd like to edit this default pattern so that all calls and text messages come through with a quick 'buzz buzz' pattern.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
Since removing the extra "USB Connected" notification from my ROM, I've been getting a lot of questions about how to remove that notification so I thought I'd put the answer in one place. This is a simple mod (one once you know where to find it). As usual, this post assumes knowledge of decompiling and recompiling.

First, decompiled Settings.apk. Once decompiled, open com\android\settings\PSService.smali and find the SetUSBNotification method and do this:

Before:

.method public static SetUSBNotification(Landroid/content/Context;Z)V
.locals 12
.parameter "context"
.parameter "visible"

.prologue
const/4 v0, 0x1

After:

.method public static SetUSBNotification(Landroid/content/Context;Z)V
.locals 12
.parameter "context"
.parameter "visible"

.prologue
[COLOR="Red"]goto :goto_0[/COLOR]
const/4 v0, 0x1

Recompile and you're good to go. FYI, the other notification (the one where you get the selection for disk drive) is in a similar method in com\android\settings\SmartNSUtility.smali. You should leave that one alone though because that's the one that allows you to switch to disk drive mode.
