[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbr:
iPlayer downloads contain DRM (otherwise there would be no way of expiring them).

Refer to the "What is sideloading?" section of the iPlayer FAQs (I cannot post links). There are no Xperia phones on the list of compatible devices. There are no phones listed at all in point of fact (although it is possible the list is out of date), and I don't think any of the devices that are listed are Android-powered. It states you need to start playing the file before transfer to obtain a license, but you still need a player on the phone that supports DRM.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobie UK:
Yes i think you are correct, you cannot download BBCiplayer vids to Xperia....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobie UK:
had this response from sony...

Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.

We apologise for the issues you are experiencing when trying to play WMV video files on your Sony Xperia Z.

We can confirm that the Sony Xperia Z does not support this type of file. Unfortunately we are unable to support third party applications and would advise that if you are experiencing issues with the "MX Player" application, that you contact the software developer directly for further information.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

When i search the net regarding BBC iplayer download to xperia Z i get this APP site :-

http://www.freeware4android.net/son...-tag/bbc-iplayer-firefox-addon-get-20021.html

will this convert DRM code?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobie UK:
i can live stream to my phone from iplayer site no issues...i want to save vids from this site to watch later, it appears its not an acceptable device as yet for downloading to file, + DRM issues as mentioned above...

I have converted BBCiplayer WMV files to mp4 and still will not play on my phone, it does appear the site is only set up for iplayer devices...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaevil0ne:
You could give VLC for android a shot, WMV is listed as supported:

DivX/Xvid

.Flv

.Rmvb

.Avi

.Mkv

.Wmv

.Mp4

and a few other uncommon video formats.

It is beta, yet still my favorite player.

Kind regards, Stefan.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobie UK:
Thanks Stefan,,,i think this a BBCiplayer site problem, so looking for someone with the Xperia Z who BBCiplayer downloads and saves vid files to the phone for playing later...other than iphone users.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobie UK:
after doing some more research...do i need this?

http://www.firstarsoft.com/drm-removal/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbr:
The store I work for sells MP3 players that can play WMA files fine - but only if they are not encrypted (and the default when ripping music with WMP is to include DRM).

iPlayer appears to use OMA DRM 2 (at least it did a few years ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/10/mobile_drm.html)

Android does (or can) support OMA? (http://developer.samsung.com/android/technical-docs/DRM-in-Android)

That's all I got.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobie UK:
Thanks...i am still no further onwards with this topic, need an app or program that will sort BBCiplayer DRM code to play on my Xperia...the files are in MX player but will not play...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
It's simply not possible. Android has no support for WMV built in and no third-party video players can handle the DRM. I'm afraid you're out of luck...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cshields1:
I just upgraded TMO radio stack to 6.24.00, works flawlessly. Tested the RS with calls, web connections, incoming call while on web ... perfect.

However, ActiveSync will not recognize a partnership with my PDA now. Reverts to Guest every connection.

Reinstalled ActiveSync ... no luck. Soft reset PDA ... no luck. Tried it on a WinXP-HE and Win2K computer, same on both.

Have searched forum & seen a few enteries on this subject but no solutions. Running TMO ROM 4.00.21 & TMO RS6.24.00.

Anybody had this issue & successfully resolved it?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Yeap been there seen that but had forgotten about those problems until I read your post! :wink:

Try downgrading back to 3.7, my sig states what I ended up doing to fix it for me! :wink:

Also you might try turning the device off before you put it in the cradle

so times that helped if I remember correctly.

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cshields1:
Resolved problem by uninstalling ActiveSync 3.7.1, restart Windows, reinstall ActiveSync 3.7.1 and it detects new USB hardware, starts the Partnership wizard and things are okay.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Today I was with Cyanogenmod 10.1 but I decieded to put Stock 2.3.6. I downloaded it from samfirmware and flashed it via ODIN. Then phone rebooted as normal but stuck ot samsung logo, vibrated and then vibrated two fast times. I putted CMW but I can't get into it. I can only get into download mode. The phone is just rebooting.. I reflashed with ODIN but no result. What to do ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] tom411:
Reflash stock rom then flash cwm and then wipe data cache dalvik format system and reflash stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Same problem after installing Cyanogenmod 10, i can't enter in recovery i try to reflash many times recovery and firmware but nothing...

I can only enter in download mode, because i get bootloops in samsung logo.

Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
and what do you mean by "can enter recovery?"
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
if i press home+power+volumeup+volumedown it doesn't do nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A_U:
follow these :

1. flash stock gb using odin

2. by pressing the button for ur phone which takes u into stock recovery mode, do a factory reset..

3. now reboot and u wont have any boot loops..

the method in 2nd post is not at all suggested since stock GB has nothing to do with insecure/nand recovery...it only makes things unstable afaik..

gudluck..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
just hold the buttons a little longer.. I had the same problem like ~2-3 months ago. Make sure you wipe data before re-flashing stock, since Odin is not doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Nothing happens... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
I hold the buttons for 2-3 minutes, but nothing...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
And after flashing CMW 5.0.2.8 or 6.0.2.8 with ODIN nothing happens too... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
flash with re-parition (select pit file).. but I have never done that, so... I guess that's the only way to wipe data. I had a similar problem, flashed stock without wiping data and got bootloop. At first I couldn't get into recovery, but later on I somehow could. When exactly you get bootloop? After the GT-S6500 boot logo? What device D/I/T etc. What ROM/recovery you had when you flashed stock? (including dates and versions)

Next time provide more info, we don't have a crystal ball.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
I have an idea - can somebody give me stock 2.3.6 but full firmware package (PIT, BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE and CSC).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
There is no bootloader to flash. Those one-package tars are the only packages. Answer to the above questions. Learn to describe your problem properly.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Sorry xD

Then:

- I get booloop after GT-6500 logo, i have samsung bootanimation, after the phone vibrates two times and get booloops

- My device is a 6500(noD)

- ROM was CM 10 24/03 (With first libcam and otg) and recovery CWM 6.2.0.8
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Tryed to flash with .pit file - NOTHING ! :@ :@ DAMN IT !
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Porobu:
Did you activate repartiton checkbox?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Yeah, it checks automatically when I select the .pit file.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Take out battery for some time, put it back in and then try.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Me yes, and it doesn't work because odin fail
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] mahdipotter:
now i had this problem 10 min ago

i just went to downloading mod then installed cwm6

then went to recovery mod then wiped data/factory reset and wiped cache partition and wiped dalvick cach and formated emmc and system then reboot my phone and again went to downloading mod and reinstalled ROM.

finished
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Porobu:
Can u copy the log from odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Here ^^

http://i45.tinypic.com/2uz4aki.png
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Porobu:
What model of s6500 do u have
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
6500 without D, but the only .pit file i found was for 6500D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
select a ROM to flash, not just re-partition
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkmanz:
I had this problem before‚

I flashed the stock several times with Odin

Then I was able to go to stock recovery and wiped data (I pressed the buttons longer in order to go to stock recovery)

Flashed the stock again and the phone booted
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
done, but same result, http://i47.tinypic.com/2ihsfh3.png
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lwfpddv2vorgyn4/u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.rar
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
So you solved with several flash of stock firmware?

I tried this one for first, but it gives same error
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dei.andrei98:
Flash without repartition.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
That was the first thing i tried xD
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] amir_n71:
you have bootloop after flash stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkmanz:
Its weird but yes

And wiped data through stock recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
/data needs to be wiped, but they can't access recovery mode. As I said, take out battery, put it back in. Press button combination to enter recovery mode (hold it for 15-20 sec) multiple times. Also, check if offline charging is working (power off, plug in charger/USB)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
My mini 2 got stuck at gt6500 logo when i've installed CM10, then i turn off the phone and try to enter in recovery to install another Cm10, but i can't enter, then i try to flash first stock firmare and after the recovery, but nothing...

@TheWhisp: I'll try, i can already say that offline charge works.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] amir_n71:
install stock rom with odin

remove battery for off phone

insert battery

go to downloading mode

install CWM with odin

go to CWM & wipe cash/factory reset/format system

remove battery & insert again

go to downloading mode & install stock via ODIN again

good luck

it's just power bug in CWM

try it when your phone is starting! / hold (vol up-down-home-power) it to power off your phone & hold it again for going to CWM
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
you have a different problem. What CM10 did you install?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Can u give us the files u used for flashing ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
When stock ROM is being installed, after Odin is done flashing, it boots into recovery to installs CSC, did you see your phone booting into recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
stll didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
I've installed 24/03 with otg (first)

Yes, but after it reboot and i can't re-enter in recovery and i get bootloops
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] amir_n71:
after doing this you have bootloop or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
bootloop and can't get into recovery...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] amir_n71:
you must remove battery for offing phone

& after off phone you must put vol up-down-home-power & hold it
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Just "RamDump Mode Arm9 Mode"
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
if it booted in recovery while flashing then recovery partition is ok.. dunno what's the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
What should I do ? I tryed everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkmanz:
Sorry

My connection uploading speed is awful

But I used middle east firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Can u give me link ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
If recovery partition is ok, then why it doesn't work?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkmanz:
Try pressing buttons till the boot splash logo appears or till u reach the recovery :(

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
It power off xD

But i found a topic where the problem was solved, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2090245&page=6
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
I don't know why all this just flash cwm and wipe and format everything then reflash stock ROM like this I do and no proplems just do it
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Ehm... The problem is that when we flashed recovery and stock firmare we can't enter in recovery mode (Stock or CWM), so we can't wipe nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
when you press recovery mode button combination, does the device boot into system or does the screen just stays off?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
The screen just stays off.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkmanz:
This is what excatly happened to me

I pressed the buttons for shorter time :P :P
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
the screen remain black, but i must remove the battery if i want to enter in download mode or to turn on the phone, it is quite strange
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
yep, there is also my post about this problem

edit: @ above, so device seems to be booting into something, but there is nothing to boot in? Weird. Try flashing TWRP? Too bad we don't have fastboot :/ Then you could just boot into recovery without flashing
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Link ? I don't understand - u had same problem and solved it or what ??
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Right it boots in something that i can't see xD

Now i'll try to flash TWRP and i'm trying to flash different firmware, i'm just desperate >.<
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
Don't remove battery just hold on power button about 10 to 20 sec it will reboot automatically then go to download mode by pressing (voldwn+home button + power button)then try flash cwm first then while Odin flash recovery press thoose buttons (voldwn+volup+home) without power cause Odin will make device reboot automatically remember while Odin flash the recovery I mean while Odin flash recovery don't let it reboot device just like that you must press the recovery buttons to go to the recovery immediately then tell me what happen cause I faced this proplem a bout two months a go and that's what I did
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
when it's bootlooping, do "adb reboot recovery"
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
I'll try

How can i use terminal? Sorry xd
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
from command line, i.e., terminal
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Just Ramdump mode

sorry, but i must to press some buttons to use terminal or the command line? i'm quite noob xd
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
You can use terminal from device but that's impossible cause there is no system to run terminal on it so you need to use adb and its need recovery to use it try recovery first then tell me
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
Just ramdump mode xd
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] NiceIceDice96:
I faced the RAM dump mode 3 days a go and what I do go to download mode and flash cwm then wipe and format everything then flash Stockrom easy
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
I tryed with TWRP but nothing, I hope @NiceIceDice96 will help us.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
It work! I'll repeat what i've done:

- Go to download mode

- Flashed recovery 6.2.0.8 and while pressing volup+voldown+home

- Got Ramdump mode, power off removing the battery

- Go to download mode again, and flashed recovery again without volup+voldown+home

- Pressed recovery buttons until it power off and after that it power on in recovery!

I don't why xD

Thanks to all have tried to help me, thanks for spending your time to help me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
What you did after going into recovery ? :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
i try to restore a backup, but it obviously doesn't work, so i'm flashing a firmware ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
DId you wiped data/cache ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
yes, it is the first thing to do, otherwise you get bootloop for your custom rom xD
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
I don't understand this step: Pressed recovery buttons until it power off and after that it power on in recovery! Can u explain me more precise ? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Go to download mode again, and flashed recovery again without volup+voldown+home......... after this did u powered it of via removing battery ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
The recovery buttons are volup+voldown+home+power, you must hold that until you enter in recovery

When the phone reboot do: Pressed recovery buttons until it power off and after that it power on in recovery!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
WHen did u removed USB cable ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Killua96:
When i must power off the device ^^
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Can somebody give me 3 file rom ?? i will flash it with .pit via ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] icarusmyne:
try flashing cwm

then when it reboots. (bootloop). remove the battery.. then put it back..

go to cwm recovery.. wipe everything (data-csche-dalvik cache)

then it will do bootloop again..

then flash stock rom via odin..

it will automatically reboot..

if nothing happens.. try installing cwm again then wipe everything again.. and restore a nandroid backup.. if you dnt have a backup.. then ask someone to give you one.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkmanz:
There is no 3 files firmware for mini 2

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
Yes - service center.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sando99:
Can I fix it using ADB ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fallen_Knight:
no...you cannot fix it...service center will..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheWhisp:
as I previously mentioned, when it's bootlooping, do "adb reboot recovery". But I guess USB debugging has to be enabled and/or device must be rooted.. well, you can try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] icarusmyne:
try JTAG

as your last resort..

Hey XDA members,

I own an Xperia Sola and run ICS and like all Android phones it lags a bit too much.

I have though of enabling the Don't Keep Activities option in Developer Settings.

But I only have one problem. I use apex launcher. And everytime I return to the drawer or homescreen, the launcher has to re load. ( which takes about two seconds).

The only two apps I need to run in background are Launcher and whatsapp..

Is there any method, hack, script to implement this?? As this really speeds up my phone.

Shout out to all the modders out there..!!

P. S. The apex launcher's 'keep launcher locked in memory' feature doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.
