[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YPG70:
Hello, I use the micro SDHC adapter to transfer the MP3 files, and it says this file is not supported with the player. While all other ,mp3 files seems to work. i also tried through USB storage still same results. But However this is strange that it works with wifi transfer. But wifi transfer takes a long time to transer. any fix on this?

I also tried different MP3 Players rather then stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
Are you putting these files on the internal sdcard or an external one?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YPG70:
external
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
well if you can, try to move some of the music files using the same method to the INTERNAL one and see if that works or not.

also i am assuming that you are on stock gb
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] YPG70:
No I am on Erigyt Rom 2.3.6...

still not working.. only wifi transfers work.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:
that is odd. 2 things

1. you said the same thing happens when using USB transfer?

2. when trying to play a file in any music player, can you grab a logcat and post it as a txt file pls

bring a sandwich bag with you if you think it might rain... or if you go fishing.

i use a hefty bag, they're stronger. u can test a bag to see how water proof it is by putting water in it, closing it and turning it upside down. if its good, water won't drip out of course.

Samsung owns SLCD ,so why does samsung not use SLCD on their phones? why is htc the only company(that i know of) using SLCD screens?

( i don't mind amoled screens, just wondering why they don't use it)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
AMOLEDs are in general more battery efficient, thinner (from what I know), has better contrast ratios etc. It's still somewhat work in progress, but still I'd bet on it replacing LCDs in foreseeable future.

And SLCD is owned by both Samsung and Sony right? Not just Samsung?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trollololol:
thanks for your reply, i think OLED is the future not amoled(not the pentile matrix thing). Samsung bought sonys share in SLCD, so samsung owns the whole company.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_sock:
Pentile will be sticking with Samsung for some time, I think they will keep using this technology for flexible screens until they come up with qLED or something brand new in my opinion.

1. They own the IP and they put in lot of R&D to improve the technology

2. Amoled diodes are organic so the colours tend to die faster than LCD. With pentile, it increases the longevity while increasing battery life (2 big things Samsung focuses on)

With the new improved S4 screen, it really closed the gap.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
AMOLED is a subset of OLED, like SLCD is of LCD. I agree, not a big fan of pentile. But sRGB AMOLED is still not viable to be manufactured in full HD, I mean they have to make this thing affordable for masses afterall.

Are you sure about Samsung buying the entire SLCD though? Wiki seems to suggest otherwise?

Actually amoleds consume more power compared to LCDs (when kept at same brightnes) ,that is one of the reasons why Amoleds are less bright than LCDs.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_sock:
Really? I thought Amoled consumes less because they don't have a constant backlight like LCD. More picture dependent.

First lemme congratulate developers for their hard work and thank them for this site, it's really full of information of any kind regarding any software/hardware problems what-so-ever! Now enough with small talk and kissing the ass: guys I really need help! :eek:

As you can all see I'm noobiest of all noobs when it comes to Android so I'm asking for straight forward answer - what am I doing wrong?! Recently I bought Experia Miro and almost instantly realized there's much to learn but I've heard of that famous rooting and got to it like fly on the crap!

I checked almost every thread you guys have and used a simple method of SuperOneClick (step by step explained in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and soon afterwards downloaded SDK (with update packages and all), but it seems that every time I get stuck at step #5 at which point I get that famous "waiting for device" line and then nothing! :mad:

So pretty please, with sugar and cherry on top, tell me what am I doing wrong? :confused:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:

run it and click root!

Great app but my rooting status says that bootloader unlock is NOT allowed :crying:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
You wanted to root right? That you can do with that software. About bootloader unlocking, you should use the search function.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] oFFgotoFF:
Not sure where to start from (as I said, I'm more then amateur in Android operations) thus I need some serious help cuzz it seems that my phone drastically declined in performance since rooting....

Even more so, I'd like to know a bit more about some processor overclocking, it seems that 800MHz and 512MB RAM just won't do the trick :confused:

Further more it says that it's not allowed to unlock bootloader and as far as I can see from post made by Sony Experia officials (http: //unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) I won't be able to flash any custom ROMs nor Kernels?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
I think there might be some ways to unlock the bootloader with status no. I don't know how but you should search or ask some developer about that!

About overclocking, you need to install a custom kernel with overclock support, but there isn't any such stable kernel for Miro. Devs still working on it.

I would suggest you to stick with the lockee bootloaders custom roms if you want performance!

Currently im using the gamerz rom and the performance is GOOD!

Hello I have an samsung rugby smart phone and i'm using it on straight talk. I've hard reset the phone. I've installed tweakker app from the play store. I've done everything i could think of. When i go to setting and go to mobile network. then packet data is checked, and it shows an E or 4g or whatever signal i have at the top showing my data is indeed working. Well I try to access the internet from the phone and it will not work period. I try to go to apn settings and it force closes every single time. How can i get this to work so i can input the correct apn settings so i can get mobile data working on my phone. please and thank you ahead of time

Download APN Backup/Restore. i have the same phone with the same problem. Once you have downloaded the app, open it. there is a button that says delete APN's. hit it. now you can access and create a new APN. the problem is that the origanal APN's are so out of date, it causes the program to crash.

Hi guys,

I followed the directions on htc dev and followed the unlocking of the bootloader, and got on the screen that asked to confirm whether to unlock or it not.

i pressed power but a press didnt do much so i held it for longer, then i'd press it again and eventually it powered off but nothing happened or any confirmation.

is there any way to know if it's unlocked?

cheers!

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] baw3510maverick:
I replaced the digitizer on my HTC VIVID. Everything powered on, connected and was good to go.

However, I quickly realized it would not vibrate at all for any function.

Does anyone have enough experience to point me to the right direction on what to look at first?

I'm guessing the obvious. something happened putting it back together.

Thanks for any help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jtsurfs:
My guess would be something did not get hooked up properly. I would suggest taking it back apart to validate connections are good and no messed up connectors. I just replaced a digitizer 2 weeks ago and the vibrate worked fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] baw3510maverick:
Rodger doger. Thanks for the response.

Yeh, I figured that was the obvious, but was hoping I could locate someone who'd had a phone vibrator issue (just sounds ****ing kinky right), that would be able to tell me something specific to look at, like how it's connected, etc

Someone's had to have experienced this before.

Still hanging on wating.

Help is out there i know...

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] baw3510maverick:
Just got this:

"Thanks,

The vibrator can be found directly under the battery terminals on the back of your phone.

The vibrator simply plugs into these two prongs. Usually, the vibrator is simply not plugged in all the way. Now if either of the two connection terminals on your phone are missing, or damaged, then the vibrator will not work at all at this point.

Start by breaking your phone down from the back, and check this connection. Sometimes you can get to this part with a small stick like a tweezers or small screwdriver to check if the vibrator is plugged in properly.

Pls can anybody tell if there is any way to install apps on external sd card????

As all mine apps are going to internal memory and it's running out....so pls help
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gavster26:
There are 2 ways first: navigate /settins/apps then select an app that can be moved to sd then select move to sd card.this is called native apps2sd which just moves the bacic app files.

Second: partition your sdcard with partition wizard choose what size to make the second partition and format it as ext4. Then down load link2sd app from play store then open it a popup message will appear choose ext4 then if you have done everything right then it will say "mount scripts created please reboot your device to mount the second partition" then there you go extra memory for your apps if you go back to link2sd press menu then multi select then choose which apps you want to move then press actions then create link then the apps will be moved to the second partition. and from settings you can choose auto link which will auto link newly installed apps. This is the best as it moves all app data files to the second partition which leaves you system memory free and fast.

Make sure you backup your sdcard to your pc before you try the second option as it might erase all your data i am not responsible for any loss of your data every thing you try on XDA is by your own choice and at your own risk!!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Ive got a better idea for you. Just do vold.fstab trick and youll get bigger internal mem. You can even use your 32gb microsd as internal and do link2sd to the microsd at the same time.

Can you give me link to vold.fstab method???

And do link 2 SD method works without root???
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Both needs root. For vold.fstab, you just need to mod the text inside the file. Need easy root method? Try unlockroot.

Then click next button (the layout will be>>previous, next, cancel) like the usual installer. I just used this against a hard to root Alcatel One Touch Glory 2S 4010x and able to get root.

That alcatel? Its on gb, and it does not have internal mem. So use link2sd instead.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] mezy merican:
what do you mean? not have internal mem? internal mem is 150mb.... :confused:

i have 16gb sd....so i want to swap it....can you tech me how to swap?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
No, that is for system. Check your storage menu, you only have internal (the 150mb one) and the 16gb microsd only. If you really want swap, check darktremor app2sd, but there are lots of work to do, and its kinda hard to do it on mtk phones (this alcatel is mtk). If you pick link2sd, its much safer. Just need to partition sd card into 2 (fat32 + ext2).

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] mezy merican:
owh okay thanks :)

already done by link2sd...

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] yayakuya:
try mine...

replace your vold.fstab then reboot...

do backup your original one before use this...

ps: you need sdcard with class6 or more (class 10 would be better)

and don't worry about your ext2 partition, it's works as well...

enjoy... ;)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] sidrock622:

[Galaxy S 4 General] system.img:
Are you curious about how Gorilla Glass 3 holds up against drops? Here is the answer!

[YOUTUBE]XNIn0BAUjv4[/YOUTUBE]

The Galaxy S4 did pretty well with minimal body damage considering the fact that it has a large screen but the Glass still cracked on a face-first drop.

It also shows improvement over the S3 which has the Gorilla Glass 2.

Better than the HTC One whose Aluminium speaker grill broke off easily in a drop test.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
Aluminum grills falling off isn't the worst, the worst part are the dents imo.
[Galaxy S 4 General] system.img:
Dents are bearable. But the speaker grill which completely breaks off and can't be fixed easily is more annoying.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
Ultimately what this test and pretty much every other drop test with these flagship phones highlights most is that these phones, as good as the build quality gets on any of them, are still extremely vulnerable to drops and falls. That's why I use a TPU, it just makes sense. For $5-10 you get almost total invulnerability to these situations that end up with busted displays and dented edges. Yeah, you give up appearance (although there's some really cool looking cases to be found), but if even one time the case saves your ass, it's worth it. No sitting around waiting for the company to cover your warranty, and no paying hundreds' of dollars when your warranty ends and you get a busted phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
You could fix it back in though, surely? :confused: Are they glued in or screwed in?
[Galaxy S 4 General] system.img:
It is unibody. It is not screwed or glued. It is a part of the back.

It looks pretty good. Some people are having issues, but some are saying its rock solid and customizable. If you have used it could you chime in?

I will go back to them after say 2 updates from where they are now, maybe. Thanks.

Anyway to activate 3G? Phone won't work on AT&T's 4G LTE. Only works on 3G !

AT&T says they have an LTE problem. My phone is the only one out of 4 on the

same acct. (all LTE) that doesn't work. Crazy!

Already had a Galaxy S3 I747 that did the same thing. No VM or rec'd a few hours

later & no Texts (but if I have texts out there not rec'd., I can send myself a text & everything

comes in) all of this on 4g & sporadic receipt of calls. AT&T says its a system problem not the phone.

AT&T put the phone on 3G it works, but their system keeps tossing it back to 4g LTE! AT&T no fix for it yet.

Do you have an LTE sim card?

Check your APN setting. It should be "pta" for access point name.

At&t LTE isn't a complete network. There's only one tower in my area that is LTE. And they do have system problems that can last for days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] qqbmed:
Good question on the SIM Card. It has no identifying markings on it, as in the old cards used to have 3G on them. It looks like the old AT&T SIM CARD. If the LTE is the smaller SIM card, the answer is no.

My Galaxy S3 had the smaller card & still had the same problems. Right now (in settings... Mobile Network type) the phone jumps from UMTS

to HSPA:11 yet my wife's S2 reads LTE & no problems. Any phones out there that have the option of turning off 4G LTE besides the IPHONE?

APN is pta & problems since NOV. but just found out end of March it is an LTE problem after I began to contact the ppl at the top of the ladder at AT&T. Techs that I spoke with don't have a clue!

What I can't figure out is why out of 4 phones on the plan, I'm the only one with problems. If it were "just" a system problem it would logically affect all phones. Yet AT&T says it's an anomally with my line.

Wondering if another phone & new number would rectify it? lol
