Well theoretically the SoC will start to deteriorate rapidly around mid 90c+ but it has built in protections, independent of kernel/ android to prevent that, still you would have to go out of your way to disable/ remove all protections in the kernel source before that become a problem.

The kernel will shutdown around mid 80s (this number is usually tweaked in custom kernels) but before that the cpu will start throttling mid 70s (and usually temps wont go past this)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Climuff:
thanks for the answer, so I dont have to worry about the temps...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
Well not as far as the hardware is concerned, but it gets pretty uncomfortable to hold at 70c lol
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Climuff:
yes it does, but only the place where the cpu is placed gets really hot, and I can hold the phone without touching the exact cpu position :victory:

Modern circuits start to degrade at about 70 degrees but below that they will do just fine, 70 degrees will burn your skin to blisters.

I searched the forum for an answer to this question and though it throws up a lot of threads from the search, I couldn't find the answer. My apologies in advance if I have missed the obvious solution. Here is my problem.....

When I go to Settings-->Personal-->Buttons on my Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard), I can ONLY select the "programs" which are listed by WM5. Is there any other way?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ttrett:
doublelauncher, buttonmax - try these programs.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] 1-2tje:
You have to place shortcuts to the scripts/programs in the folder "\windows\startmenu\programs", then you can select them in Settings > Personal > Buttons.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koahhe:
Hi all,

I am looking to sell my Note 2 and I would advice regarding which official rom to install in order to make the phone working as it should and stable. Until a few days ago I was on Omega rom but changed to Ditto. This one is more stable but still have a few issues like phone switching itself off when on stand by. Should I just download and install the latest official rom from sammobile? If I do that do I have to install it via Odin or Recovery is fine too? Are there any other steps to do before installing an official rom? Thanks

Today morning, while browsing through system apps, I accidently clicked on a file and got a popup to open the file with list of apps...

What I realised was that the first option my phone gave me was of 3D Album.. When I tried opening it, it said "Unsupported file format. Cannot display"... I have checked my phone and I can confirm that there is no such application installed om my phone...

Is anyone aware about this and what file format this app support...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] billypilgrim:
Hi,

I have a Sprint 4G LTE rooted with VIPER rom installed. Last night my phone freaked out, so I did the 10 second "battery pull" and it started up again. I plugged it into the charger and I fell asleep without much worry.

I woke up to find my phone stuck at the LTE splash screen of the VIPER rom. I've done the 10 second "battery pull" several times, and it doesn't just shut the phone off, it forces a reboot. Each time it only makes it as far as the LTE splash screen.

My experience with phones and computers is telling me that the OS might have gotten corrupt some how since it is stuck at the splash screen.

I do have access to the bootloader, so I have some paths I can go down, factory reset/recovery, but both those I'd like to avoid so that I do not lost the contents of my storage.

I have had VIPER rom installed for a good half year, so this issue isn't due to a new rom being flashed.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

-billypilgrim
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
When data gets corrupted, all you can do is wipe and start over. I had to do that once when running Viper as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ch@k75:
Just a thought in trying to be helpful....

I used that ROM for a while myself and never really had any issues but have had a similar situation.

I pulled my sd card out and backed it all up. Replaced SD card.

Then went into recovery and reflashed the ROM.

Worked solid after that and no explanation as to why it was corrupt/hanging in a loop.

Hope this helps..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wolfclan68:
I have that happen several times. Nothing obvious that causes it. Cap'n is right need to wipe and re-flash. Here's the small trick since it just keeps rebooting on you, after you hold power for ten seconds and the screen blacks out. Make sure the capacitive buttons go out as well, that split second they go dark let go of the power button and press vol down and power to get it back into bootloader. Then you can get back in recovery to flash.

For you the hboot is not really important because you can downgrade also (because you have a s-off device). My recommendation would be to install a custom sense 5 rom, as you are already on the latest hboot anyway.

Or if you want sense 4 you can install any 3.14 ruu from any region.

As for the cid and and radio.....we don't know your area (signal strength) so i would just try....

You knew it was only a matter of time before someone figured out a way to fill their wallets off users by annoying them to death..

http://bgr.com/2014/02/12/chromecast-ads-coming-soon/

I will copy and paste a reply I left about this on Reddit

I can see it now for apps like Plex when Casting goes free (whenever that happens)

"We will Cast your content right after this short advertisement"

So sick of in app ads, so sick of freemium, so sick of subscription services (ie: PlexPass etc), so sick of pay to win games, so sick of every Android developer (not every, but you get the point) nickel and diming the piss out of users either with ads or micro-transactions. Enough.. Just follow the PC software model that has worked for decades. A set price, minor upgrades are free, major revisions you re-pay. The Android software market is the biggest racket.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
While I agree, the trouble is that video content doesn't really work like software. Every new episode would be a "major" release. It's not like you can release a movie in 2-minute segments. Well, maybe if you're J.J. Abrams...

I don't mind ads as long as I have the option to pay to get rid of them. Even Netflix could opt for a cheaper ad-supported tier if they wanted to.

To be honest, I like apps that are free with ads and paid without as it gives me a way to try the app for a period longer than the Play Store's 15 minutes.

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Brightcove is pretty big VOD provider, but yeah, that would work as long as the stuff you want to watch isn't hosted there.

YouTube could be uber sneaky and host the ads on YouTube itself so then it would be all-or-nothing.

On the plus side, YouTube could become the resurrection of AdCritic. I miss that site...

Talk about a blast from the past. Have you seen -

http://creativity-online.com/
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
I think everybody is struggling to find ways to make money from this technology. Google doesn't make any money on the hardware, and consumers just don't want to pay much for software (which is why the old PC software business model is gradually failing, and you see even companies like Microsoft going to Office 365-type subscriptions). So the result is they have to find a way to make money from subscriptions, fees, and/or advertising.

Google aren't the only ones considering advertising. Mozilla just announced that they're going to start putting ads in Firefox, inserted in the page of recent sites that appears when you open a new tab.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
The worst thing I've encountered so far with the subscription model is how it virally forces others to buy in.

Case-in-point, I got an Adobe InDesign file that I needed to look at. Fine, I have InDesign CS6. I load it up, and it tells me I can't open it because it was made in InDesign CS7.5

At least Microsoft has Office viewers. I was stuck with the InDesign thing - either go back and ask for a flattened version or subscribe, luckily I had the opportunity to just ignore it. :)

Like freedom, free software truly isn't free - at least not as long as people need to eat and pay bills. Renewable energy and homesteading may be the zero-cash way, but then we won't have enough time to code!

Maybe we need to come up with some "business productive" games. People-powered OCR Hangman?
[Google Chromecast] styckx:
Well I'll repeat something else I said

I'm guilty of being an old timer. I came into Android with 1.5 (CupCake).. The Market and Android community used to be a thriving community of freeware, innovation and great discussion.. I just hate what it turned into. It's like a gold rush and the end user is the gold and everyone is trying to sell you their bridge. I just hate how it got like this. I don't mind paying for stuff but it seem anymore it's a constant and quality has taken a back seat. It's like people stopped doing this for fun and a hobby and started trying to make a business.. Anything that is anything that is in demand someone will find a way to charge you for now a days.

P.S. I don't mind subscription services like Netflix etc. Dumb stuff like Plex Pass is a joke though. You're subbing monthly to unlock in-app features. Doesn't make any sense..
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Do we really know that?

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer...tions-despite-strong-nexus-5-chromecast-sales

Biggest seller or a best seller in Q4 2013, depending how you take that article.

The packaging probably costs nearly as much as the product.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
True, when it's easy for lots of people to make apps, the market gets crowded and confused.

Doesn't help that the rating system doesn't take into account that people use ratings maliciously to complain or penalize the developer for things often that are user error or out of the dev's control.

PlexPass gives other things like their cloud thing, but yeah, it is kind of "pay to be in the beta club" but hey, if it works for them, funds their continued development, and people are willing to pay, I don't have to like it, but I can't really criticize them either.

And with the $75 PlexPass lifetime, it's the same cost as a mid-range piece of software.

On Google profits, I'm sure Chromecast sold well, we can see from the lack of rootable units on shelves...

Of course they won't tell us how much they're making (or losing) on each sale. I bet most of the profit was Google Play. :)
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
I just doubt that they lost any money at $35 a pop - until the accountants got involved, because their job is to cover that up. Not whining or ranting, just stating a known part of the corporate income game.

My issue is not with the ads being there, this is a Google device so ads were to be expected be it from Google or someone else. My issue is with it being video ads, my DSL line is shaped during the day and I don't need this hogging the bandwidth preloading videos while I am trying to browse the web. I wish my country would get "first" world in terms of broadband just so this k@k stops bugging me...

/fingers crossed Eureka guys ad-block this ;).
[Google Chromecast] DJames1:
I don't think Google is losing money on the Chromecast hardware, at least not deliberately. But I do think they priced it not to make any money on the hardware.

Think about it:

- Google is not a hardware company. They deliberately try to stay out of the hardware business because they realize that the margins are really low. They make their money on fees and services. They only introduce hardware products as an enabler to get new things started.

- They are undercutting everybody else on price to have the cheapest brand-name media streamer. It's in the same price range as the cheapest Chinese no-name Android TV sticks.

- They introduced the Chromecast with an offer for 3 months free Netflix, which is 2 months more than Netflix normally offers. That's a $16 value for which Google undoubtedly compensated Netflix, although probably at a discounted rate. When Chromecast sales took off the first day, Google canceled that offer immediately, indicating both that they had allocated a limited budget for it, and that the price of the Chromecast would not bear it without losing money.
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
I'm very confused. So someone created a SDK for developers to include ads on Chromecast apps and people here are upset by this? Please tell me why.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
We should keep in mind here, it's not Google inserting ads here, it's Brightcove who is enabling developers to insert video ads compatible with Chromecast. As the title of the linked article says, "Third Party Provides Way For Developers To Add Ads To Chromecast"

I doubt Google will see any of this revenue as Brightcove built this technology using the Cast SDK for their engine.

The key part here, and I could be totally off-base, is that it sounds like a library that a developer would add to their app - essentially using Brightcove's "Cast" function and player. That makes sense since Brightcove has an HTML5 player already in use by sites on the web.

For example, instead of developing my own HTML5 page that Chromecast would go to in order to play a video, I would just trigger the Brightcove "Cast" function, passing it the location and my key/ID. Chromecast would then run the Brightcove player app which plays the video content I chose with inserted ads. The fact that it's being advertised as "seamless" tells me the ads are being stitched into the video content and delivered as a single stream, rather than a playlist drawing from separate sources.

Aside from ad revenue, the huge plus for developers here is that Chromecast-enabled apps wouldn't even need to use the Cast SDK directly, because they're using the Brightcove casting engine. That means the specific Chromecast-enabled app wouldn't need to be on the whitelist or register with Google because it's really the Brightcove app that Chromecast is running. Brightcove is responsible for making sure the engine keeps up with Chromecast updates and changes so that's another burden off the developer.

A "no ads" version of an app that uses the Brightcove player may use the same request to Brightcove, just with a flag saying not to insert the ads. The "gotcha" here is that because Brightcove is the player for the video content the app uses, blocking Brightcove or the Brightcove app would block all casted video from the app.

Of course Brightcove probably shares in the ad revenue, so maybe they won't allow developers to use their engine without ads, in which case the theorized advantages to the developer go away for a "no ads" version as they'd still need to register and use the Cast SDK directly.

But likely Brightcove may take the gamble that enough people are cheap and use ad-supported versions that it covers the paid apps that aren't showing ads. Or maybe part of their developer agreement makes the developer pay for non-ad versions somehow. Just theorizing from the business perspective...
[Google Chromecast] k3v1nj4n:
Thank you Sir, these are true words. I agree you to 100%
[Google Chromecast] bozzykid:
The PC software model had very few ongoing costs. You boxed up a CD and after that, the costs you incurred were mostly just support costs. Streaming video is not cheap. If you plan on charging once in a lifetime, then you will be out of business very quickly.
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
[MENTION=5479613]DJames1[/MENTION] - those are good points, I'd like to counter with what the market will bear.

After the Google TV and Nexus Q flops, I don't think that Chromecast could have done better at a higher price point, even if it started out with more apps and features. I think that they had to plan for this price point and knew that going in.

As for the initial Netflix deal, I don't know if anyone besides the accountants know how that worked. Not a personal criticism, just saying - Netflix has a vested interest in DIAL succeeding. It makes secure delivery easy for them. Their revenue models for this sort of thing aren't trivial, see Roku's license deal for example.

Netflix will give newcomers a free month for watching Philip DeFranco on YouTube.

So between their giveaway budget for promotions, surely compensated in part by the content providers and anything paid back by Google in the form of free advertising, I think that entire initial allocation for Netflix with Google was all virtual money, if such a thing exists. Iow, lots of return on investment on both sides but actual investment costs in real dollars - closer to zero.

[MENTION=3050092]bhiga[/MENTION] - agree. This reminds me of the AirPush SDK, and quite a few others who seek out devs with revenue schemes.
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
I wouldn't worry too much about this at all...

If there are Ads then the content will be free and if not no one will pay to watch commercials and the venture will fail.

as far as what this is about, [MENTION=3050092]bhiga[/MENTION] nailed it on the head...And I expect to see much more like this in time...

Brightcove is basically creating a provider side (B2B) business for themselves which basically is creating a Player technology that any content provider can use to make content available with ad insertion (or not) without having to code or maintain their own programming department to maintain the player software. In Brightcove's case they are using this technology to sell their Server services with a side portion of profits from Ad sales and commission. The issue will be does the content need to come from their servers to display ads or can the main content come from anywhere? My guess is the content must reside on Brightcove's servers for this to work well so it won't affect content sources that don't come from there (like Plex)

as [MENTION=3050092]bhiga[/MENTION] pointed out though....There is nothing in the DIAL or CCast guidelines thats says you can't use someone else's Player App to display your content. All you need is permission from the owners of that Player App in the form of Info needed to launch it. Some will charge for that info (license fee) some will not.

If MX Player came out with a comprehensive Player App for the CCast to be used with their Android App there is no reason why Plex, Twonky and even NBC, ABC and CBS couldn't use that MX version of the CCast player app when adding CCast support to their mobile apps and Website. Content providers will probably pay a licence fee to the developer of those Player apps they use.

Basically setting up a B2B App market for those developers smart enough to make a good CCast side Player app.

I get it that people don't want to pay (or pay a lot) for things they want to use, But the business model of today is Free to Play - Pay for Plus.

Plex is an example of this as is any app that has a PREMIUM version that removes Ads or adds features.

Even those apps that are FREE without ads usually have you paying a price such as data mining of it's users to sell to marketing companies. Still a price your paying albeit a price that isn't money.

Someone has to pay otherwise there is no reason for programmers to waste their time creating these things other than making them for their own personal use and then deciding well it's made why not share it.

And if they target the folks who have the money (aka Content Providers) it's better for us in the end. We get the free because someone is subsidizing it in order to get to us.

I'm all fine with that.
