[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I don't think it is that. The market is here, but the thing is Samsung is the only company from what I seen that made an android PMP player. Also with this market you have to make the device a great price, and that's any where from $100-$150. I'd say $200 but then people would be all like "Well I can get a nexus 7 for that price"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jmindset:
I want an upgrade also. Sucks that the galaxys players are not as popular as ipods
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JohnBergago:
Yes it really sucks but the problem is a lack of marketing for our device. Most people asking about my player are really impressed of its size and the fact that it's running android. They find it way better than these boring Apple iPods :p
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tech Bottom Feeder:
Murphy's Law indicates that if I lose my cool and opt for a Nexus 7 'consolation prize', Samsung will release a dream device the next day :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Ipods aren't even that popular anymore. Look how long it took Apple to refresh their lineup.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jmindset:
Lol true. It's funny because most people that see me using mine(I use it as a wifi phone with Google voice and groove ip) think its an ACTUAL phone. I have owned the 3.6 and currently own the 4.2. I for one am impressed with what samsung has done with this. Its a win for them in my book.

Looks like Samsung already made a successor to the Galaxy Player but it seems that the demand for these devices isn't that large (even though 5" is perfect) :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iurnait:
but lets face the truth, there is no way samsung is gonna make a ~200 media player thats as good as the N7.

Lets examine the specs:

Nexus 7 2013:

7” 1,920 by 1,200 (323ppi) screen

16 GB storage

1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro

2GB RAM

5-megapixel primary camera

3,950mAh

Price: 230

Galaxy player 5:

5” 480 by800 screen

8 GB storage

1GHz singe-core Hummingbird

0.5GB RAM

3-megapixel primary camera

2,500 mAh

Price: 220
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Yep but that's considering Google is selling the nexus 7 at cost. Also the SGP got released nearly 2 years ago, give it a break on the specs sheet, Lool. :p It's not even comparable.

My OCD Googling habit fot "YP-GI2" shows that a bunch of buzz has sprung up in the last 24 hours regarding a device dubbed the Galaxy 070. I look forward to the weighing in of forum heavyweights on the matter ...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jmindset:
Awesome hearing this. I was considering buying a nexus7. But might not now lol
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Tech Bottom Feeder:
Well, the rumor mill identifies it as possibly a "home phone", but if it's got good sound and the right price, they could call it the Galaxy Nosehair Trimmer and I'd still get it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jmindset:
Home phone is fine. Since that's what I use my galaxy player as. A wifi phone would be better lol
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] coffee-turtle:
Same here! I'm with the OP! I'm still glad to know there are a lot of people out there that share my opinion on the need for an updated Player (sans phone/plan)!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jmindset:
Yep there's many of us from the looks of it. I will keep supporting the galaxy player. Mine is a little beat up. But still works.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Synchronyme:
Same here: i'm the happy owner of a galaxy player 4.2 for almost 2 years but i'd love to get an upgraded product. Something in the 5" - 5"8 range (max) so it fits in your (big) pocket while allowing you to easily read ebooks. And of course with better cpu, memory, battery, screen resolution etc.

Tablets are cool but it's more of a home product: you can't grab one with your hand while drinking a soda at the same time, or have it in your pocket to listen to music in the street.

I live in a big city (Paris) with wifi everywhere: why should a have a phone and pay a sub for that ?

There must be hundred of thousand of people looking for this kind of product, all we need is a company that believe in it and market it!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] arclight25:
I agree....but they did make a follow up device in the Galaxy Player line. The YP-GP1, the Galaxy Player 5.8. It was only released in Korea.

I found mine on eBay, and of course, overpaid for it. (Which I knew I would going in, just wanted one)

It is too bad they never released it in more countries. It is way better than any iPod. And it runs 4.1.2 ICS.

The down side to it, was that the volume was a bit low in comparison to the 5.0 and the 4.2. I was able to finally track down a stock rooted rom for it, so I could edit the Max volume myself. Now it is my main player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
But the thing is, since its only released in S. Korea, there will be almost no development for the 5.8. Also it a little too big for my idea of a PMP;).

BTW, ICS is 4.0 not 4.1[JB]. It runs 4.0.4 ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Facts

Hello guys,

I talked to a contact person @ Samsung, and he said the following things about the Galaxy Player line:

- The Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 won't be selled in other countries than in South Korea

- The 5.8 was concepted as an phablet for educational use but it was a flop in schools and on the national market because it was too big for an player but too small for an tablet

- The Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0 were concepted for general mutlimedia use, the 3.6 was conecepted as a small, handy, low-weighted but fast multimedia player for the use "on the go", the 4.2 was concepted as an fast, not expensive, mobile gaming device and the real iPod touch enemie

- The most successfull player was the 5.0

- The Galaxy Player II (YP-GI2) will only released in South Korea as an "smartplayer for home use", when the player II will be often sailed, they will bring it to the USA

- When the YP-GI2 will flop, they will stop the Galaxy Player line

I hope this was interesting, Androthan :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm looks interesting but why don't they bring the second gen of the 4.0 and 5.0... It's always the original that gets the best selling why don't samsung gets that? :eek:

Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 en utilisant Tapatalk 4
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] arclight25:
Yep, you are correct. Pardon my typo. :)

And there is no development at all. Other than the rooted stock ROM I found. (Which is OK, as I was not really looking to change the ROM)

Unfortunately, I think we are watching the end of PMP. I dont think the market is big enough any more, with everyone using their smartphones. Personally I do not like using my phone for music and videos. I never put any media on my iphone and now my HTC One has zero also. I hope that some company at some time continues this line of products. Or we need 5"-6" tablets ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PerChloric Bread:
It's kinda interesting how this people at Samsung thinks, they are not trying hard or not thinking what the consumer wants. I mean they could've easily beaten the iPod if they study their market. I mean it's cool that our players unlike the iPod have GPS, but there far more important things like stability or speed. My 4.2 crashes a lot and I mean, I barely have games or apps installed. Because I use it mostly for music and occasionally checking social or just XDA. I love using audio mods but the device gets too slow when using them. For example when using V4A (the only one that has worked on this device) I can only listen to music if I do another thing it will probably crash or wait a lot to open an app. Dual-core 1GB ram and a decent screen should be enough but good audio quality should be a must. Also make it easier for the devs to work with the device if they don't want to give constant updates to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
Just forgot two things

The 3.6 was planned as an ICS device, but they decided to use the GalaxySL (Gingerbread) source as their base, because ICS could be too time expensive. The 4.2 was released with GB because of the 5.8 (marketing reasons)

I am interested in development with the 5.8, but I don't know anything about this device :/

Greetings, Androthan
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
It is funny how they conceptualized the 4.2 as a gaming device but put a much weaker GPU when compared to the 4.0/5.0 and even a 4th gen iPod touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
They used the PowerVR SGX 530 in the 3.6 and the 4.2. For the 3.6 it's perfect (because of the small screen) but for the 4.2 (big screen) it's bad.

Samsung is only interested in making money, not in making user-friendly devices :/
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] PerChloric Bread:
Expensive? How? It's not like they are going to need a million dollars to develop a ROM, the most expensive part of a phone/tablet/player is the advertisement/publicity/marketing and they didn't even advertised this product I knew about the SGP because of a friend otherwise I would've not know of it's existence .
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Androthan:
I meant 'Time expensive', that means that it tooks too long time to develop something new

[General Questions and Answers] Uggers:
Hey all,

This is a bit of a speculative question as in theory we don't know what is happening until tomorrow.

But rumors at the moment from Handtec in the UK state the MotoX won't be available for sale over here.

So my question is, assuming this is true and the MotoX is available tomorrow but only in the US what sort of things do I need to be aware of if I want to import the phone.

The handset seems like its going to be unlocked from the beginning so I assume I shouldn't have any issue using a UK sim.

If its US only, will I find it hard to track down a supplier who will actually send to the UK?

Anyone imported a phone to the UK from another country got any advice?

Hi. I searched and found a few posts mentioning a reduction in phone volume and speakerphone volume after the 1.40 install but no partciular comments. I also noticed a significant drop in volume and after testing with some older software it only appears to happen in 1.40

Is there any way of altering the maximum volume or is this just part of 1.40 ?

Thanks,

[Sony Xperia ZR] iamsuperuser:
Hi all !

I just bought THIS screen protector and just loving it.

I was worried about the fitting to the screen but the precision laser cut was very accurate, fits exactly to the screen.

I applied it myself for the first time, it is magnetic(does not leave adhesive residue) so you can always remove apply it correctly. The matte finish is just excellent

It is for Indian users but the seller said they import these from abroad so the same brand can be found on international sites too.
[Sony Xperia ZR] george101:
I got a clear screen protector and i like it better than matte finish.
[Sony Xperia ZR] heikis:
1) can anybody show a side-to-side comparison of matte and clear protectors applied?

2) are the aftermarket protectors better than the sony stock protector?
[Sony Xperia ZR] andes83:
Hi guys, just got my ZR and I'm loving it but it's quite the fingerprint magnet. Is there a screen protector that can help. I have set my eyes on this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vikuiti-A...ting_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item51b125bc05 but I don't know if it's any good. Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia ZR] bismouth:
I buy a 3pack of matte protection @ 3.5€ and it's just what i need!

But i cant remember the seller... Go for the cheaper (3pack is good if ou miss something during the assembly)
[Sony Xperia ZR] andes83:
Thank you, for your suggestion I got 3 matte and 6 clear screen protectors I will see how it goes and which I like best. Has anyone removed the pre-installed protector from their device. I'm concerned that I'll remove the SONY logo if I get rid of it (I hear that happened on xperia Z units). Is there any danger in removing it and should I remove it at all or just place the new one on top of it?
[Sony Xperia ZR] djpeesh:
Place the new one on top. Doesn't dampen sensitivity too much.
[Sony Xperia ZR] gmengass:
matte

At first didn't like my matte screen protector...

Pros

feels nicer!

no filthy finger prints!

minimal light reflections..

if you use dim backlight it really helps..

you can re apply it.

no air bubbles at all!

Cons

unable to use it as a mirror when screen off. :(

colours and images on the screen are not as sharp,

slight glow on whites.

But now i wouldn't go back!
[Sony Xperia ZR] andes83:
I'm still waiting for my screen protector and today I noticed a tiny scratch on the screen. It's not that visible but is there a way to fix that. Will the screen protector cover it or I'm stuck with a scratched SONY?
[Sony Xperia ZR] motodude:
Take a pencil eraser and rub it off..
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
It should not be the screen itself. Sony is known to apply screen protectors on each phone in-manufacture. It's not visible but if you insist you can remove it. It's even possible that the sony logo is simply printed on it, like the Xperia V.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Willber G:
Removing the anti-shatter film will invalidate the warranty.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
Seriously?? How could this void the warranty? It has nothing to do with the hardware and doesn't affect the device in any way!

Made in ZR
[Sony Xperia ZR] andes83:
Yes, there are a lot users talking about it, removing the shatter-proof screen protector voids the warranty because it'll no longer be shatter proof.....stupid isn't it? I already scratched mine before knowing that, now I'm stuck with a scratched screen until my warranty ends and I remove the f****ing thing.
[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
is this detail specified in the texts ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] andes83:
I can't really say I haven't researched this, what I know for sure is that this protector is factory heated onto the screen and it's not supposed to be removed.
[Sony Xperia ZR] 8BB76E1:
Hi,

I'm trying to find a screen protector for a whole display, without any holes in it.. I found this: amazon.de/dp/B00K1JTIMG/ but of course, I'm not sure if it's a picture of a real product or just illustrative picture. can someone confirm / recommend something else?

(sorry, posting links is blocked, since I'm new here..)
[Sony Xperia ZR] il2stormo:
You are right. The protector is factory-heated onto the screen, remove it and the Sony logo will go off. As for the warranty, there are two paragraphs Sony could use against you if you remove the protector (as stated by the Important information brochure):

Additionally, "What we will do" section, says:

I know it is not very specific, but hey, that's how lawyers do it.

The only thing I always wonder about, is what kind of glass ZR's screen uses... GorillaGlass? DragonTrail? I found many different sites talking about that, but none of them had conclusive evidence. Sony's official response is ZR uses a "Shatter proof and scratch-resistant glass". No specific brand mentioned :confused:.

Anyway, I bought a good protector for 5 bucks. It's a "KLX Anti-explosion Soft TPU 0.2mm Screen Guard Film" and the package includes everything you need to apply it successfully. Also, I saw a 1mm tempered glass protector for 15 bucks, thinking of buying it next time.

I block dns connection as root, then all apps can not resolve dns.

(iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m owner --uid-owner 0 -j DROP)

I also noticed, my nexus7 will resolve dns as root, if the connection blocked, then the apps will not resolve dns.

but my nexus4 will resolve dns as root first, if it blocked, then apps will resolve dns as apps-id.

why will that?
