Hi guys

I'm trying to use TCPMP to stream my videos using ORB, i have tried this registery hack:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:WMPLAYER

change,

String 1

from wmplayer.exe

to "\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"

But alll the videos still open with windows media player onmy pocket pc. I'm using TCPMP ver 0.71.

any help would be much appreciated
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herbules:
Try opening TCPMP>Options>File Associations page and then associate all by putting a check on each one except the music and picture files (since I use different softwares for pictures and music). It worked for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bashi007:
Thanks herbules that worked. great
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Kassad:
hmm, that doesnt work for me. I get an error message saying "http://.../live.wmv unkown file format" (translated from dutch so may not be the exact message). I have the .wmv box checked at File Associations page and restared TCMP. I'm also using TCMP 0.71. The files I tried do work with WMP (but crappy). doen anybody have an idea? thanks in advance.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bashi007:
I checked everything except the audio and pictures at File Associations page and it worked, when i only checked wmv box it didnt work. So you can give that a try.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Kassad:
I checked it all...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] herbules:
after associating TCPMP with all files except audio and music, I couldn't stream TV anymore:( although I could get to watch my videos on TCPMP via Orb. So it's a choice for me to be watching via TCPMP videos or tv streaming with media player, I chose TCPMP and not watch tv instead
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] VuDuCuRSe:
Hello.

Today I was testing again my almost forgotten MK808B and I couldn't find an app to tell me de CPU temperature.

I love CoolTool app but the "Ambient temperature" option isn't working.

After googling around I found a way to read the Temperature sensors readings from the command line, which works great with CoolTool's Custom Labels.

So, the temperature readings are on these files:

/sys/module/tsadc/parameters/temp0
/sys/module/tsadc/parameters/temp1

One can simply test using the "cat" command on the console and use it as a CoolTool's Custom Label.

Regex:

temp: (\d+) code: (\d+)

I think this should work for all RK3066 devices like MK808, MK808B, iMito MX1, UG802, Probox2, MK802 IIIs and so on...

Hope it is helpfull.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] DaPhinc:
Very interesting!

Could you please explain in a littel more detail how the reading in cooltools works?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] VuDuCuRSe:
CoolTool queries the given file for the information to display and it applies a Regular Expression to extract/transform the information in the file before presenting it on the screen.

Here's a sample screenshot from the Play Store:

Here are my settings:

Prefix

CPU:

Postfix

ºC

Path

/sys/module/tsadc/parameters/temp0

RegEx

temp: (\d+) code: (\d+)

Replacement Pattern

$1

Just install CoolTool, on the app's Settings screen go Labels and on the bottom open "Fine Tuning" and click on a Custom Label to edit it. "OK" your changes and click the button on the left of your edited custom label to enable it.

Thanks, works well!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidXero:
Hi,

Been trying desperately to get cifs.ko modules for my Lenovo Yoga tablet but am not able to compile one myself.

The source code for the kernel in this device is available from Lenovo at http:// mobilesupport.lenovo.com/en-us/products/yoga_tablet_8?tabname=downloads

Could somebody please compile the needed modules to mount network shares on this tablet? Myself and some friends of mine with the same device would be extremely grateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidXero:
Or maybe one of the Mods can move this post to the Development section if this isn't the right place to ask?
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
A. Introduction: I had the HTC Desire C working smooth and fine. Then one fine day, I realized that the microphone is not working properly, the person at the other side of phone call would not be able to listen to me unless I'd literally shout over phone. So I gave the phone to the HTC service center because it was under warranty. They changed some parts and handed back the phone to me. But the problem was still there. I again submitted my phone. They changed the same parts again and now the mic was working classic, phone was working smooth.

B. Twist in the scene: Just after few days, I was on my way to home after some work and I noticed that phone had a cross (x) against the signal and when I pulled down the notification thing, it said NO SERVICE. This used to happen a lot of times from then onward. Switching to Flight Mode and then reverting back (OR a restart OR a sim pullout and insert again) would sometimes fix the issue, but only temporarily. Sometimes after reboot, it would say NO SIM CARD, sometimes NO SERVICE and sometimes proper functioning with 2-3 bars.

C. Attempts from my end: I thought that they have messed the sim card slot while assembling my phone back and it is a hardware issue. But I was finding it hard to believe. I tried switching to GSM ONLY, then it would show full bars, but again only temporarily -- later NO SERVICE again.

The same SIM card in other phones (standard Nokia b&w phones aka hammers) shows full bars. And I have tried 3+ sim cards in the HTC, but all say NO SERVICE after sometime, maybe due to some activity (connecting internet) or just randomly on its wish.

I studied about radios(modems/baseband) and found that they are drivers and they also decide when and how to switch between 2G and 3G network etc.

D. Other Information and Background: Many times, when there is NO SERVICE error, when I check the Signal Strength it says -83dBm 15asu, so that is pretty hard to digest. The other times it says 0dBm 99asu, which should be obvious for a NO SERVICE error.

With point number E.2. in this post I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, installed CWM recovery, took a backup.

E. Options that are/aren't available from my perspective and my doubts:

1. Warranty period is over now, and I do not want to take my phone to the service center.

2. Can flashing a custom rom and radio fix this issue? If yes, direct me to some reliable ROMs for the same. CM10 build#3 (from here) didn't boot.

3. I have a Linux laptop, so options strictly based on Windows PC will not apply.

Has anyone faced similar issue? I found many pages with similar issue, but nowhere was the exact solution/troubleshoot mentioned.
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
I did have a problem with sim cards. What I tried doing is borrowing a friends sim card to see if it works on my phone. To my relief it worked and meant that my current one just died. So I went to one of the offices of my Phone plan providers and just changed it and it worked. If you can try that and give back results, it would be awesome.
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
Depending on the age of your SIM card can give those errors but as you stated you tried other SIMS and same occurred so my guess is it's either Hardware or Baseband Software, unless there's a Baseband update or simply reflash same Baseband, if it still persists I'd more suspect Hardware.

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
I, myself have a lot of sim cards to check this and I have already tried other sim cards. Some cards are not even recognized. Some are being recognized but it says NO SERVICE after sometime. Switching to Flight mode and back or restarting the phone or Going in Testing Mode > turning off radio > and turning it on again, sometimes solves the issue but only temporarily.

Probably. And that's why I installed mini CM10 and flashed the radio with the latest HTC Desire Radio (for CM), but it still says NO SERVICE and the same baseband version as it was saying with the stock ROM. :/

Even though the signal strength is -63dBm 25asu
[HTC Desire C] Quasar:
Can you call or something if it is showing signal strength?
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
No, I wasn't able to call. And when I would search for a network it would say "Error while searching for networks"
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
I'm more likely to suspect the actual SIM card holder hardware and not the SIM Card itself or the Baseband (No errors reflashing and other SIM's no different than your own), the fact it's showing signal strengths but you're not getting onto the network suggests RADIO hardware is most likely working along with software but a hardware failure could just be 1 connection to the SIM :confused:

Q. Are all other SIM's working in other phones and does your SIM work in another phone?

If so I'd suspect the SIM Slot onwards.

Q. may or may not apply but possibly relevant, does Bluetooth and Wi-Fi still work?
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Answer #1: Yes

Answer #2: Yes

Q. I still don't get that when I have flashed the radio, how is it still saying the same baseband version? Doesn't flashing a new radio change it?

Recent UPDATE: Somehow, the phone is behaving well... (always 3 bars or full 4 bars), after the mini CM flash and NOPE 750 flash. Initially it was NO SIM CARD or NO SERVICE but multiple reboots and pulling out and reinserting the sim card have made it this far. Let's see if this good behavior persists.

UPDATE: Back to the same state of disconnecting/No Service/No Sim Card
[HTC Desire C] Antagonist42:
I still suspect the SIM slot as you could have disturbed what's known as a 'dry joint' essentially made it make contact until it disconnects again even with just a change in any kind of pressure (placing the cover on or placing it on a table).

Then again it could be down to ROM and Kernel, I wouldn't totally rule it out without going back to stock ROM and Kernel and seeing any change ;)

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Any DIYs to fix this?

That sucks! :(
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
UPDATE: The network seems quite reliable when I am on GSM only (2G only). That again indicates that somehow the problem lies in only the radio driver.

Any ideas?
[HTC Desire C] manish4_4:
Same Problem

I am facing exactly same problem on my HTC Desire C. Did lot of hard reset problem reappears after couple of days. got my phone reinstall OS at HTC service centre problem reappeared after a week.

Same sim is working fine in other phone, even got new sim still same problem.

Am confused if its hardware or software issue, problem comes only when phone is in GSM only mode, works fine on WCDMA only or AUTO mode.

But in WCDMA only since network is not good signals are low and in AUTO mode when signals are low it switches to GSM and if at that particular moment there is problem then NO SIGNALS.
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Update, Phone fine. Help with the settings!

I checked a lot of sim cards and found that my phone is perfect! There is no hardware issue.

So I am presenting the present scenario. Please help!

I have 2 phones: HTC Desire C and a Nokia B&W aka hammer.

1. TATA DOCOMO sim card work fine on both phones.

2. AirTel sim card works fine in Nokia but HTC says "No Sim Card" regardless of the numerous attempts.

3. Reliance sim card (brand new, bought today) works fine in Nokia but HTC says "No Sim Card".

4. A friend's Reliance sim card was working fine in HTC.

If any Indian friend might help, then it would be great as this issue is more local specific I guess. Or any user who might have faced similar issue and then found a fix please help.
[HTC Desire C] Quasar:
You tried Vodafone?
[HTC Desire C] bugkillr:
Not yet.

And believe it or not, but the AirTel sim that I mentioned in my last post was working once I washed it with some alcohol. So it might indicate that the sim was old and dirty maybe.

But what about the new Reliance sim, I just bought it today and it works in Nokia. I'd have switched to Vodafone but I can't afford its high 3G plan rates as I have to maintain an MTS MBlaze for laptop as well. :(

And the thing that friend's Reliance sim works fine in my phone is troubling me even more.
[Moto X General] pacman377:
I just got off the phone with a Verizon representative about adding the hotspot to my unlimited plan. Now yes I'm rooted and already had access to the hotspot, but I'm fixing to go on a trip where I would probably use enough data through it to get noticed. The woman I spoke to asked if I wanted to add a line and use the jetpack or just use the hotspot and let it use my data. Well obviously with a unlimited plan I wanted the latter. I asked two times during the call if this would change my plan and or cost extra and was told no. So I guess I will find out at the end of the month.

Now it was my understanding that the data share plans had the hotspot already but I was unaware of the old unlimited plans having this and Verizon not charging the extra $30. As I said I will find out at the end of this cycle if my plan goes up $30 or not but I though I would put it out there to the others who still have there unlimited plan.
[Moto X General] canezila:
This makes me nervous. I hope you are safe and they don't try any funny business.

I no longer talk to Verizon if possible. They almost had a heart attack last time I was in there. I then realized having over 30GB per month is not normal. So over 59GB this month would be even more crazy.... If that was true... Because I am not really saying that is me..... Just saying....
[Moto X General] pacman377:
Well they don't have a plan to accommodate my usage. Last month was around 25 gig and so far this cycle I'm at 11 gig. I was ready to pay the $30 so I'll buy have to see what happens. I haven't received a email saying anything has changed so "fingers crossed".
[Moto X General] fury683:
When I upgraded from my Droid X (3G) to a Droid Razr Maxx (4G) the VZW store rep told me that because I have unlimited data, I could add hotspot too, and said it would cost more (don't remember what it was), but it would also be unlimited. I didn't do it, because I didn't need it, and if I did, I could probably root and get it.

I've never had a major need for it, but will be interested to see what happens with this. I seem to remember reading stuff about the FCC ruling that customers should be allowed by the carriers to use their data any way they wish, whether on their phone or tethered (wired or wireless) to other devices as they choose. But there was some strange wording that meant it only applied to people on non-unlimited plans, so Verizon never honored it.

I bought my Moto X outright to keep my unlimited data, and rarely use more than 2-3GB anymore. I used 10-12/mo when I didn't have internet at home for a while watching lots of stuff on Netflix and listening to Pandora a lot.

Keep us posted...
[Moto X General] pacman377:
In the past I had the hotspot on my account because where I lived there was no internet but there was cell service then when I was able to get internet I canced it. I would think that it would still show that it had been on my account in the past but who knows. There is a possibility that she didn't know what she was talking about because at one time she said that there wasn't a option for a hotspot in my phone settings. I told here there was and the app was on my phone. Then she saw it. So there are some questions in my head and I will keep a close eye on it and come back with what I find.
[Moto X General] kbluhm:
My fingers are crossed for you. If that girl was clueless and the change forces you off unlimited there is practically no chance you will get it back unless you know the right someone on the inside. I don't see any way Verizon would allow a user with unlimited data to tether at no extra charge... especially when you consider unlimited data was explicitly disallowed from tethering when then FCC dropped the hammer on their use of band 7.

-http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...ns-fcc-tethering-settlement-means-to-you-faq/

I tether off my unlimited here and there but don't make a habit of it... plus I rarely go over three gigs of usage so whenever I hear all these 30, 40, 50+ gig users brought up I think I have very little to worry about for the foreseeable future. I've heard any changes to the account will force you onto a tiered plan so I only talk to Verizon when absolutely necessary, and only in a store, on the off chance that just having them look at my account would constitute a change. :P
[Moto X General] fury683:
I agree that I am very wary about any potential changes to my account. When I brought my Moto X in to activate it (bought it from Moto directly, off contract), I asked to speak to the manager and made it very clear that I ONLY wanted to activate the phone if I would absolutely NOT lose unlimited data. He chuckled and told me that they get a lot of people who are super paranoid about it, and there are always shady employees who want to upsell on stuff so they will tell you that you can get XYZ new feature for only $5 more per month, but not tell you that making that change will also take you off of unlimited data. I told him that was EXACTLY what I wanted to avoid and he again chuckled and said I wouldn't lose unlimited, then proceeded to upgrade my device, and then exited out of the computer program and pulled up my account a second time to show me it was still in there as unlimited.

My girlfriend used to work at Radioshack and there were people there (including managers) that did those shady "upgrades" all the time just to get more commission. People at authorized phone stores do that stuff too. Never deal with those people.
[Moto X General] pacman377:
I have checked my online account twice today and its still showing unlimited. And she said it would not change or make me lose the unlimited. I did let her know that I didn't want to lose that.
[Moto X General] mavericktc:
I remember when I had an unlimited data plan and got a new cell + new "subscription" that meant that it wasn't unlimited anymore, lol.

Anyway, I forgot all about it and downloaded a few movies during that weekend.

The following monday they blocked all outgoing calls from my phone and directed me to their customer service (I was furious because i didn't know why) and told me that my subscription fee was around 2600usd (one MB was like 3usd at that time when you reached your limit).

I totally **** my pants and told them the story (acted kind of dumb, pretended to be technically handicapped) and they erased the whole amount.:laugh:

I'm still faithful to that carrier;)
[Moto X General] ghostt021:
You can relax sir I use the least 40 gigs per month and Verizon is very well aware of this any **** to do with anything about it other than they think its quite funny

Moto X
[Moto X General] Arak-Nafein:
This. I routinely use between 80GB & 200GB a month and no problems as of yet. The last time I was in a Verizon store the guy asked me what the heck I was doing, I told him I watch a lot of Netflix. (Which isn't a lie, my last phone had HDMI out and I would Stream Netflix/GPM&TV/HBOGO/HULU through my phone) What I DIDN'T tell him was that about 20-30 of those gigs were through hotspot to other devices.
[Moto X General] enik_fox:
Yea that doesn't sound right. Where I work there is no "unlimited hotspot" option at all. If anything you'll probably see the 5 GB hotspot option for $50

Sent from my Lumia 928
[Moto X General] pacman377:
Ok I got my bill the other day and there is no extra charge for the hotspot. So I figured that I would go ahead and update to 4.4.2 and when I tried to turn on the hotspot I got the familiar sign that I needed to contact verizon. But after rerooting and unlocking the wifi tether it worked. So obviously the rep that I talked with just didnt know what she was talking about and figured that it was on my plan or something as she didnt activate the hotspot. So scratch the free hotspot on unlimited plans.
[Moto X General] canezila:
I just updated my two computers at work and have to teather them. I also have an enormous music library because I am an elementary school music teacher and occasional DJ. This month I am at 109+ GB. I need to add my fiancée to my family plan by creating a data plan on her current number (not my unlimited plan) and just worry they might pull something. Maybe I should wait until the 13th when billing cycle resets current usage?

Also, my old phone (the one she will use) is x912 Droid RAZR Maxx. Will putting my old sim card that is used with that phone be able to get switched to her info? Just curious because I would rather hear information on this thread then at the Verizon store. Thanks!
[Moto X General] evltwn72:
I think you should be able to add her to your family plan for an extra 10 bucks a month plus the data plan. She will only be able to get a capped plan, but I'm sure you know this already. Even still she should be able to get 2gb for 30 bucks I think. They will probably try and get you to switch to their Share Everything plan.

As far as the Sim card is concerned, just trash it. They will give her a new one for the RAZR and assign it to her account. They're free anyways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gherman222:
My brother-in-law's SG2 won't boot. All it will do is show the "Samsung Galaxy SII" logo, then show the battery charging. If unplugged, the blue LED faintly lights then the phone does nothing. When plugged in, it shows the battery at 100% but the OS still won't boot. I got it into download mode and Odin'ed Rwilco's stock ROM to try and restore the system. Odin showed that it "Passed" but the phone still won't boot. I even got it into recovery mode, and tried a factory/data reset, but no change.

I heard that the phone has had battery issues, and I tried the spinning it on the table trick. It doesn't spin at all, so I don't think it's bulging... but is it possible that if the battery is dead that the phone would not boot, even if plugged in? Or is the problem even greater?

Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

FWIW, he's on Sprint. (I'm a VZW user)

Nothing had been done to the phone (before he asked me to look at it :o)

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TELE-FLASH:
Have you flashed the matching/compatible kernel for that rom as well? It's been a while since I have worked on one of these phones, but I do remember having to flash the compatible rom and kernel separately from one another otherwise it would cause the phone to boot loop or freeze on boot. If you are running the stock recovery, you may try flashing a kernel with a custom recovery then from recovery use the option to reboot into system. I don't know how that would really make a difference but nothing to lose if nothing else is working.

Hi guys, I have a little problem.

Which sabiua making me try installing the camera moto X, but did not have any backup ... Then desisntale the camera and from that moment I could not reinstall any camera (default) to the team.

Lower famoza CAMERA ZOOM FX app but does not work the camcorder.

So my request is this.

Some kind soul may happen (if it works well) a backup from Titanium BACKUP, this app?
