[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nghia3d:
Im using Xperia T but I can confirm what you tell.Only dissappointment on Xperia V is internal storage :victory:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emperror123:
agree what you said, just change the external SD card,
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Option58:
I want to buy this phone (T). I think of "ONLY" 1GB of ram.

There's already 3GB producing in factories. So...bit worried.

Can somebody (T,TX,V) tell me about ram usage. Do you really need more or you feel this is enough on your phone?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] immerblind:
Yesterday i went electronic shop, and tried the xperia v, i was a bit shocked by the feeling. for me it feels unsexy, compared to my T. Dont get me wrong, its a good phone, but the Xperia T has an oustanding look and feel for me. I like my handy to be a bit more heavy and tough. also i like its some sort of "wide".i also prefer xperia T screensize/ relation screensize-smartphonesize

So for me its T, compared to V.

And by the way, the power is enough for todays technic. You dont need higher and higher and higher, more more more....for what?

I can get a T here in germany for 270euro, new, first hand. So i think its a really sexy price for such phone. Sure, many phones better in Benchmarks and Hardware. But lets be serious, who cares much Benchmarks, or who needs so much power?

Everybody who not like to spend 500euro for a phone, should look for it, or Nexus 4 :p

by the way...Everybody who wants buy a new phone should go inside a shop and play with the handy in the hands, feel it. dont just look in forums or youtube hands-ons ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Option58:
Actually I thought of TX.

Yeah now it's T or ZL.

T - For 280e here :)

ZL - For 430e here :)

I'll see if ZL drops more because of the new Honami flagship (2nd September I think :) )

I'll wait by then, but T for 280e is also a great deal - I would be happy 4 sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] Funkyasshit:
Hello.

I have a problem. It started some time ago but now it gets annoying.

I used Ryze aka Yoda rom and touchscreen stopped working when I press button on top of the phone. I need to push i again and again and then screen works. The most annoying thing is that I have a phone call that is super important but I cant pick it up because the screen doesnt work. When I press the button 2x it drops the call. That is super f*cking annoying.

Now im using helicotper build I start to have the same problem but now my phone dont even turn on. It just stays at HTC logo. I did fresh instal about 5 times but nothing. Is it my phones fault?

I had the screen issue before when I was using Yoda ROM so I tought its ROMs fault. Now it starts to happen in other roms too. Any suggestions? What could be the problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
This is a separate issue. Sounds like you are not flashing the right kernel or wrong hboot.

If it's happening with other roms, it's a hardware failure of the digitizer. Replacing the digitizer is the only way to fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Funkyasshit:
The problem is that it starts one time. Phone turns off and next time you turn it on it doesnt get further than HTC.

Probably digitizer costs half price of the phone. -_-

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djroo:
Hi there

Although this is my first post on XDA, I have been using samsung phones for about two years now and never come across this problem before. I purchased a brand new GT-i9300 four days ago and Kies notified me of a firmware update. No problem, my phone went from ICS to Jelly Bean just fine. Then today it prompted me for another update, while it went into download mode the phone stuck with the blue progress bar making no progress at all for over an hour. Now the phone keeps telling me that "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.", so I connect it to Kies which recognises there has been a firmware upgrade error and takes me through the emergency firmware recovery. However, to recover it wants me to put the device in recovery mode, I know how to do this but each time I hold the power/home/volume up buttons, I get no tiny blue wording to prompt me to release the buttons and I end up and the same screen telling me to use Kies again. I've tried using Odin to manually install a stock ROM but as I can't switch on USB debugging, this has not worked. I've tried using the S3 toolkit but in it's current state, the phone is not recognised by the software although it is seen by Odin.

Apologies if the explanation is long but I wanted to be clear about exactly what has occurred here and would be very grateful for any help/tips/advice that anyone may have as I feel I have looked everywhere.

Regards

P.s. thanks for reading
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
One its a Samsung problem covered under warranty .

Two Odin does not require USB Debugging mode to flash stock firmware .

Three I get no tiny blue wording to prompt me to release the buttons

What tiny blue wording are you sure you are following instructions and releasing buttons at Samsung splash screen .

With your lack of knowledge i would return to Samsung if you still have warranty .

Root or SGS3 |Toolkit will void warranty .

You can of course flash a stock rom .

This app is no longer in development and only stays hidden in the marketplace for continuity purposes for windows phone 7 users!

STATUS: NO LONGER AVAILABLE
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
The latest update has been pushed for certification and should be available for everyone by the end of the week.

The app has been renamed to Media Player XP Pro.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Next release brings video player. With neat features.

Thanks for your effort!! Maybe in the next releases you could add the posibility of show the lyrics of the songs which are embebed in the ID3 Tag. I miss this feature of my old android.

It's only an idea. :)

I've been trying to do that for a while, but i just can't get the codec to work properly :(
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
I have discovered that the playlist engine is not working properly. This will be fixed in the net update.

The next update will also give you some degree of costumization over the interface.

EDIT: While i was in the shower i figured a news feed would be useful.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Several bugs fixed. Should be available within 5 working days.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Sadly, i have a lot of projects to work on at the moment, development might be slowed down a bit, but the next major update will bring users the ability to do the following appearance customizations. You will notice the help+settings pivot has a new, empty tab in the next update.

1) change backgrounds (solid color, picture from picture library, slide shows)

2) change all title and text color in the application.

3) change the color of the app bar.

And that would be the first wave of customization.

After that, if i have time, add a theme engine and be able to customize themes from the desktop client and also replace visual assets (like images) with custom made ones.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] blzkz:
That's a nice project :3 better than nokia or default player

I only have a question, how do you manage to integrate some new codecs to play flac? I am amazed. I was trying hard to integrate some new video codecs but I never get it :S

Congrats!
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
You need a media stream source.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh180779(v=vs.95).aspx

I've written this article to explain how to create a FLAC media stream source. It also explains how media stream sources work in general.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com...play-flac-files-in-windows-phone-using-c.aspx

You will use a MediaElement instead of a background audio player. You will use its .SetSource method to a media stream source to play video samples.

In the next update, I will make these sensitive settings easier to find and set.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] Wagierek:
Are you going to include gapless playback and aqualizer in your app?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
I had an attempt at an equalizer, but it didn't go according to my plans.

Besides, most WP8 phones (aside from samsung ones) already have an equalizer and their equalizer is system wide, whereas mine would only be used in my application.

It doesn't mean i gave up on the equalizer, however, this would be very confusing with users, and some of them are apparently incapable of reading all the guides and help i placed in the app...

I also have plans for true gapless playback (the player does have a pseudo gapless playback), but at this moment in time, I have a lot of things to do at collage. Maybe next week.

All of these features will, of course, only work with the local storage mode. You would have to replace the built-in player with this one completely.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] Wagierek:
Yes, but there is a Nokia Lumia 520 - cheap yet powerful and popular model. Also, it's mine. I'm so upset Nokia decided not to implement this feature in 520's software. I love listening to music, but it doesn't sound well without an EQ...
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Snap:( I tried a 5 band equalizer and the sound going out was pure noise, nothing was left from the original song.

I will try to get thing going, but as i said, next week.

I have all the infrastructure in place for an equalizer, but i just can't get it to work properly. Maybe i set the frequency levels wrong...didn't have much time to fool around with it.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] Wagierek:
I can help you if you want. I can be a beta tester or something, but it's the same here for me, next week :P PM me if you need help ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Don't worry, I should be able to test it on my own phone :) Thanks.,
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] amitwp:
Sorry for long post. I seriously want this to be a great music player.

I think you can make some serious improvements in UI of app.

> Buttons are very small. Moreover swipe doesn't work correctly and is not smooth.

> Can you bring back album background settings and light shade instead of dark shade?

> After updating it won't show a single song in my library. Everytime I have to choose the song via file picker.

> Please remove the settings from pivot. It make more sense in context menu or below all the songs, genre thing.

> App doesn't remember the color customisation settings.

> Please increase the size of album cover. It's really very small and space is wasted all around it.

Ps. If you want I can send you some great designs for music players.

Ps2. App works really great. Just fix these annoying bugs.

Ps3. I have posted about this app on Reddit. Most of the members like the functionality of app but don't liked the design.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
1) the issue with buttons is that they either have to be very small or they need to go somewhere else. The now playing tab is already crowded as it is.

2)I am aware of the swipe issue, yet I have no clue what is casuing it. As long as the swipe doesnt start from the album art image, it will work fine.

3) Ok. Will fix that soon-ish. I will change the way library loads so there won't be a need to hide it anymore, not even for large collections.

4) I will make an individual page for settings.

5) are you sure? The changes only affect the main page at the moment.

The ogg decoder is really giving me a head-ache.I will get to work on fixing the UI first, then make the rendering engine ready.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] amitwp:
How about this?

You can make an individual page for now playing screen and use horizontal swipe instead of vertical swipe with no buttons.

Tapping on album art will play/pause song and swipe will be used to change the track.

Edit: Oh and could you please change that logo? It is seriously ugly. (No offence)
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Ok. I will make now playing an entirely different page, just like the old music+video hub is, with only a shortcut present from the main page to take you there.

Do you have any specific suggestions about the logo?:D
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] amitwp:
Nothing is particular. Just a simple logo with modern look.

Thankyou very much for replying to all my posts. ?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
No problem. Thanks for your feedback. I have the now playing page ready.

And I am now working on the seperate settings page.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] amitwp:
Woah! Really fast huh. ????
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Most of the code is copy paste :P
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
It seems it is almost impossible to support flac/ogg meta data tags and load the entire library at startup. The microsoft APIs are fast(they relay on the windows search index, which basically it means the files are tagged in the background by the system itself, so getting metadata tags is as easy as executing a query on the index), but only for supported files.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] amitwp:
Why not load only mp3 files on startup? Do you think equaliser support is really possible?
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
Yes, it is possible. The SDK allows all sorts of DSP things. I just need to figure out how to do it. Then again, I could make it even if the SDK didn't support it, but it wouldn't be hardware accelerated and it would drain battery faster.

I don't really like treating formats differently. Part of this is because there are people who use it exclusively for playing flac files.

I will scrap the album/artist/genre view and I will sort all songs view by folders. I think this is better for an unified approach and it is fast enough.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
This would probably be a lot of work, but maybe keep your own index and have the app update it (on a background thread, possibly even one of those background tasks that only runs when plugged in)? You could speed it up somewhat by just looking at modified files. Use SQLite or similar... Just a thought, but it should be possible. The app may not have your full FLAC collection when you initially open it, but it would load it all soon enough.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
I actuallly thought of that.

However, there is a bug in the file API:

this method, which would fix all my issues, has the following problems:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br227276.aspx

Any file querry other than the default one, will not return flac files (it won;t return files that are not system supported).

The default one, only returns the top level files, however, it returns any files. I already need to do an ugly recursive loop just to get to the flac files hidden in sub folders.

Then the sort by date modified querry, which would help do what you say, throws an ArgumentOutOfRange exception on wp8.1

These are all bugs that have been reported, and acknowledged by MS, yet they haven't been fixed.

Getting the date modified for each individual files would work, however, getting there requires an async call that lasts around 50 ms. For large libraries, this is too long.

I also thought of doing making a maintanance background task (which can run as long as the device is on DC power) and read all the tags in there. If the user charges his phone over night, the tags will show up the next day. This is what I will probably do in the end, however, the users need to get past the initial shock of not having anything in album/artist/genre view and not uninstall the app :P

The new update is ready. I now need to fetch some screenshots and I will send it for certification tonight.

EDIT: the ogg renderer is leaking memory, this is why it stops after 1 minute or so. I need to figure out how and where it happens.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] amitwp:
I really like this new update. Can anyone tell me where to download a flac file? What are the benefits of this over mp3 files?

Some bugs I found:

>Album art doesn't change when changing songs.

Feature Request:

Would it be possible to lighten the album art image in Main Pivot?

Sent from my Lumia.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
On mobile devices there is really not much of a difference between flac and mp3, with the added exception that flac can achieve gapless playback. Flac is also bigger and drains a bit more battery (well, this player doesn't drain a lot of power, since battery usage is one of its main concearns)

I will look into the album art problem.

There is a mask applied over the album art. I will add an option to change the color and transparency of this mask.

The new media engine isn't really going along too well. I am trying to compile ffmpeg library for windows phone, but the job ain;t really that easy. If i were succesful, the player would support most codecs known to menkind. In the mean time, I am going to add some functionality that's been lurking in the shadows for some time now (hint: the app requires permissions to something it doesn't use yet :) )
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
A video player,with external SRT subtitle support is now implemented and working (properly,I hope).

The SRT file must match the same name with the video file (aside from the extension, of course) and must reside in the same directory (similar to how windows media player does it anyway).

The update should be available by next monday.

Video player additional features: Resume video playback (saves current playlist).

File picker, similar to the music one.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] GoodDayToDie:
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is, as its name implies, lossless audio compression. While MP3 (and most other audio codecs) are "lossy" - that is, they throw away a lot of the detail to achieve a smaller file size at the cost of some of the playback quality - FLAC is lossless. Like ZIP compression, it makes the file smaller that its uncompressed version but you can still get every bit of data that went into a FLAC compressor back out of it again. In practice, FLAC seems to usually be around 1/2 - 1/3 the size of uncompressed WAV files (or, to put it differently, a full music CD will probably take around 300MB), but it sounds just as good as that CD. "Good" quality MP3 or AAC or WMA sounds very nearly as good - many people can't tell the difference, especially not without very high-end equipment - but if you want to do something like take an MP3 ripped at 192kbps and re-encode it at 128kbps, the loss of quality will be easily audible because you're starting from something which was already lossy and now has compression artifacts that will further impact the new encoding. By comparison, a FLAC file can be encoded in any other format with no more loss of quality than if it was ripped in that format from a CD or straight out of the sound board.

Of course, with smartphone-quality equipment, it probably doesn't matter, and with FLAC files being typically a couple times the size of "good" MP3/AAC/whatever files, a lot of people aren't going to use them for storing music on a portable device.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
I tried several ogg decoders and they all crash the same way.
[Windows Phone 8 Apps and Games] mcosmin222:
I think I am just going to drop allsongs/artists/albums/genres view all togather.

It seems that loading tags isn't fast enough regardless of what I do. So I might as well scrap it.

I am aware of 2 display bugs: not displaying album art properly on main page, and after shuffle, the now playing tab doesn't always display the right next track. Will be fixed soon, as in tomorrow.

The video player SRT engine has a tiny issue with special characters. Until i get around to fixing that, it will not support external subs.

I hope to get an extended format support by the end of the next week.
