I am currently focusing on server-side features and bug fixes. Next version will include a better designed interface, disk space notifications and better error handling. Thing is, my phone's screen is currently broken so I am delaying this release until I can test it properly. Hopefully it will be ready next week.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris Blade:
Hello, I've been looking for some torrent films, and I have seen some users saying "Want YIFY", "when YIFY?". So on google I have searched for the meaning of YIFY and I have figured out that movies longer than 1.5hrs in 1080p had a size of 1gb approximately. But when I record 10 minutes video it takes 1gb.

My questions are, how to record video using the YIFY method? Do I have to go in root files and change the camera profile file?

Is it possible to record out in *.mkv format with low bitrate? Or any alternative to?

In clear, how to record 1080p videos with the smallest size possible?

The device I use is at the end of my signature

Thanks to any answers !

Hey, I'm young (14), and french. My name here will be Chris Blade, I love programmation, and I started learning Java language since 1 year now, so if you have tips and other about basic and advanced programmation and you want to teach me e-mail me (cachrisblade@gmail.com) or PM me, I would love to create my first real application (A 3D game, that's insane haha). Thanks for reading :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watchman.see:
it is not a recording method. it is an encoding method. the original file size of the movie that YIFY uses to encode those videos are HUGE. they just use a sophisticated method re-encode them to a smaller file size while retaining as much quality of the video and audio.

you can find the links here. http://ericolon.wordpress.com/2013/...w-bitrate-videos-in-handbrake-for-any-device/

you should realise that the audio quality in YIFY videos are only acceptable when you are listening to them on a portable device. if you play them on a home theatre system, the degradation in audio quality and volume is very noticeable.

I know for a fact that Virgin Pay as you Go SIMS work in the XDA 2 and you are able to access the full Internet.

The Virgin Pay as you Go SIM was inserted into an XDA 1, and it does not work with the Internet.

Is there a fault with the XDA 1?

Do any systems files need to be added to the XDA 1 to enable it to access the Internet?

Thanks.

Thank you.

I don't want to replace my stock browser, I actually like it and I use it all the time for non-flash sites.

Is it physically possible to install this AOSP browser alongside the stock browser, or is this simply a no-go and we have to make the choice?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] icyfantasy:
There is actually an app on play store called [ROOT]AOSP Browser Installer.

You can use that to have both stock and aosp browser

Which version of the AOSP browser do these install?

The later version of the AOSP browser since Jelly Bean has been known to crash with Flash content even when they allow the plugin.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Tvercetti28:
Yes, it is possible to have both stock and aosp browser installed and working at the same time. I have installed a zip like the one in this thread and i still could keep stock browser along with aosp browser. Aosp browser is so much smoother than stock, honestly, scrolling and pinch to zoom is much better than stock, i couldn`t blieve it until i tried it and compared each other.

AOSP Browser on Wicked ROM

Hi All,

Running Wicked ROM V4 w/ktoonsez kernel. First tried installing AOSP browser via play store; it worked but I had no address bar and some features didn't work. Deleted that and tried putting the apk in system/app and correcting the permissions(as described in several threads). No icon showed up, tried installing and it said it was installed but still no icon. Can anyone confirm installing this on Wicked and fully functioning? Thanks.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdcking12345:
So I am looking to replace my Ipad. I have been looking at the new Toshiba excite pro with the Tegra 4 CPU.

But I have come back to this Sony Tablet a few times. How do you guys like it? Does it feel snappy? Good quality?

Any negatives? Since it is water resistent, does it make it harder to use the headphone jack, charger jack, etc?

Has it been out long enough that it is considered old technology now? Should I wait?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salanos:
Mine is not the international version, but the Japanese SO-03E model. Its innards are definitely a little outdated because of the Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 instead of the Snapdragon 600 APQ8064T, but it'll hold its own against almost all current generation devices (in fact it's the fastest standalone tablet I can think of until the Tegra 4 devices hit, since I don't know of any Snapdragon 600 tablets).

It's fast and smooth, but there are occasional hiccups on Sony's launcher and Socialife is noticeably blippy. These are both problems that can be easily circumvented with third party apps. I haven't yet to find quality concerns with my Japanese model, but out here on xda there have been various complaints that include bad waterproofing flaps. It definitely makes you not want to use the flaps often, since although they seem quality enough they don't entirely seem strictly durable.

It's not really old tech yet, but if you want the absolutely fastest chipsets, you have to look elsewhere. The tablet's sheer thinness comes at the expense of battery capacity and while I find the XPERIA Tablet Z has impressive battery efficiency, it has only middling run time due to the low capacity of the battery (6,000mAh) - about 6 or 7h or heavy use on middling brightness.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplyphoto:
Hi,

It is my first tablet so my opinion is not biased by other devices. I find XTZ pretty awesome but not perfect.

First of all - the design is amazing. Slim, light and simply beautiful. But unfortunately I find it quite fragile because of that. Sometimes when holding by the edge it triggers touch screen starting stuff like settings or switching screens. It doesn't happen often but still...

Screen is awesome, bright natural colors. It is state of art and maybe not the highest resolution on the market but really more than enough. Only minus is that it is fingerprint magnet. I had few phones before and nothing attract fingerprints more than XTZ or XZ.

Bravia Engine is doing a great job and I just love to watch movies on XTZ especially that is so light that you can do it on the plane or in the bus and don't have to worry that your hand will hurt from holding it.

Overaly it is smooth device but lags sometimes during web browsing(on 30Mbits connection) which is a bit odd.

Using flaps is not problematic but can be sometimes difficult(if you are using Krusell case for it or your hands are big as loaf of bread)

If it comes to technology I've got simple answer for you. Whatever you buy it is already old:) If you understand that, you will not be dissapointed that your tablet is not the fastest and there is one that scores more on some benchmark:)

If it comes to battery life I find it very good(based on the small capacity) It last 8 hours on screen time if you browse some web and watch some movies. Probably could last longer if you just play movies as it is using more batt when surfing.

As a conclusion I want to say that I love it regardless of clicking sound of the back cover or constant need of cleaning screen form fingerprints and a few other things that could be better.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TellTenPeople:
I found the North American version (32GB Wifi) to be a complete disappointment especially quality-wise:

- the backing was not stuck on properly — probably a defect, but not an unexpected one when double-sided tape is used

- the screen visibly flexed and activated the touch sensor when I pressed on the back

- erratically sensitive screen — perhaps due to tacky feel of anti-shatter film

- diagonal lines on the screen

- shadow along the bottom edge

- the Sony Android build broke Firefox Sync

I suspect the slim design of the tablet made it more prone to those defects. Needless to say, I returned it after a week.

I actually have my eye on the Toshiba Excite Write and it will definitely be the next one I try — the Xperia was for me the 5th in a run of defective tablets from various manufacturers. The decidedly unsexy design of the Excite probably means it's less defect-prone, the OS is as close as you'll get to stock Jelly Bean without a Nexus and Toshiba has promised Key Lime Pie, and finally that Wacom digitizer means it'll be great for handwritten note-taking which is exactly what I need it for. The insane rez screen, Gorilla 2 glass and the Tegra 4 are just icing on the cake for the same price as the Xperia.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymg350:
the overly sensitive touch screen is due to a software issue, which was corrected in the most recent update, as for all the defects it just sounds like you got the lemon of the bunch ive had mine a couple months and not experienced any of the issues you've described. i love my XTZ i have the SGP311 16GB Wifi only version, its light, slim, super fast (coming from a cube u30gt lol) and im happy with it.

sorry to hear you had such a bad experience though :(
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
Yes, mine also has none of the aforementioned problems or defects.

Love it, works really fine.

Only thing is that one has to customize it a bit before it runs optimally (replace pre-installed laggy apps with 3rd party ones, rooting and disabling certain resource hogs etc.).

This of course is not how it should be; the out-of-the-box experience should be flawless on a high end device.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vjawsm:
Pros: the looks, waterproofing, awesome gaming with playstation certified, stamina mode, high res screen, IR sensor(unique to this tablet), 4.2.2 update is due for the tablet in a few weeks.

cons: timescape UI is laggy and Since it is slim, you can feel the heat from the processor...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdcking12345:
What is the timescape UI?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salanos:
Timescape was the official name for Sony's skin (just like how HTC calls their Android version Sense or Samsung names theirs TouchWhiz), but it seems they've dropped that name. The XPERIA launcher is occasionally laggy but systems apps such as Settings, Messaging, etc. all run flawlessly.

My unit has fairly flawless build quality as far as I'm concerned - buttons are slightly mushy, but that's not uncommon. Rigidity is impressive, but slight flex is possible with significant pressure (something you shouldn't be applying to any device in the first place). But what gets me is just how nice the materials feel, especially the grippy plastic back.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdcking12345:
I went ahead and ordered one. Will have it tomorrow. I hope it is easy to root, etc. As well as to flashing new ROMS on it. I shall see, I guess
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salanos:
If you ordered the Japanese SO-03E, there is a simple just-run-this tool available for it. If not, there are rooting methods discusse here at xda for older versions of international XPERIA Z tablets' firmware.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdcking12345:
Didn't know there was an international option. I just ordered it from a US company, so I figure it isn't.

Ill have to see what firmware it is running when I get it today.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeBoy:
I have mine for 2 months now and apart from battery taking really too long to fully recharge (6 hours) I can't complain about this tablet. Everything works as it should. I totally recommend it!
[Java for Android App Development] alex-p690:
Hello xda,

I have the following code into the MainActivity to figure out the orientation of the device:

public int getScreenOrientation() {
int rotation = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRotation();
DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
int width = dm.widthPixels;
int height = dm.heightPixels;
int orientation=0;

// if the device's natural orientation is portrait:
if ((rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0
|| rotation == Surface.ROTATION_180) && height > width ||
(rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90
|| rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) && width > height) {
switch(rotation) {
case Surface.ROTATION_0:
//orientation = ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"portrait",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"landscape",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_180:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"reverse portrait",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"reverse landscape",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
default:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"portrait",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
}
}
// if the device's natural orientation is landscape or if the device
// is square:
else {
switch(rotation) {
case Surface.ROTATION_0:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"landscape",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_90:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"portrait",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_180:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"reverse landscape",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
case Surface.ROTATION_270:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"reverse portrait",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
default:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"landscape",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();
break;
}
}

return orientation;
}

I created an service that runs in background and overrided OnConfigurationChanged so that i can call getScreenOrientation whenever the device orientation is changed.

I tried to call the method using, but the app crashes:

MainActivity main = new MainActivity();
main.getScreenOrientation();

I tried to implement getScreenOrientation right in the service class but it says "Cannot resolve method getWindowManager()"

Can someone help me out? Or is any other way I can accomplish this?

Thanks!!
[Java for Android App Development] zalez:
Try using this to get it directly from your service:

window = (WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
[Java for Android App Development] alex-p690:
thanks!! It worked flawlessly...Although it's strange that I can't call the method...
[Android Apps and Games] Hagar76:
I am wondering if I might be able to interface my Galaxy TAB with a camera, be it using the composite input, USB or Bluetooth, and then recording it to the SD.

Would make a great reverse camera display to. Perhaps used for both forward facing DVR and reverse camera selection/split screen.

Any known hardware and apps that would allow this?

Or is there another ~7" tablet that has better inputs to suit this application?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macolour:
Hi,

I recently rooted my htc desire, unrevoked method, flashed default recovery. Before flashing the stable CM for Desire, I wiped dalvik cache, wiped all data, wiped cache partition. After the installation, I logged into my google account. Problems started when going into settings resulted in going to blank settings page. Same goes for any settings window (system, play store settings). Whats more, after every single CM I install, the phone gets stuck on CM loading screen, after installing the rom, setting everything up and rebooting for the first time. The phone is S-ON. I'll try to upload logs from debugger soon.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
You should s-off before installing any custom rom. Did you make a backup before installing cm7?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macolour:
Wow, really? Some custom gb seemed to work just fine with s-on. I think I have a backup but I wouldn't count on it, it may have some files missing. I'm not sure now whether unrevoked did s-off on that phone, will check as soon as I get back to it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
You don't have to s-off to install custom Rom, only a custom recovery.

However it is much more useful to have s-off than not so it's thoroughly recommended.

For instance, you can change hboot to use your internal memory partition layout and have more space. Currently you are on stock hboot with 250MB /system but your Rom system size is much less, so you are wasting space.

Changing hboot will give you smaller system and more internal memory :)

S-off will also allow you to change recovery to something like 4ext (see my sig), allowing more reliable and easier partitioning of sdcard.

Regarding your specific problem, not sure you did a proper full wipe before installing? Need to use the wipe data/factory reset option within recovery as a minimum before installing new rom
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macolour:
Every single install, wiping data, cache, dalvik cache as well. Everything done from within recovery. Logs indicate a problem with hw audio decoding, though I might be wrong.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
did you specifically use the "wipe data/factory reset" option within recovery, or only the "format data" option under mounts and storage?

the "wipe data/factory reset" also formats the /system partition, which is just as important /data. cache and dalvik are just temporary files, should get wiped anyway on fresh rom install, but no harm in manually wiping.

haven't had time to look at the logs, not an expert in them anyway. you could try to install a different ROM to see if you have the same issues, or restore a nandoid (hope you made one, you should always do this before wiping/flashing).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macolour:
Wipe data. I'll try to make other roms work.
