[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mistr_e:
Update v5.3.1316M of Google Play Music introduced using external storage for your music data. You go into Settings > Downloading > Storage Location and it will show external storage if you have it. It works on many devices with SD card slots like the S4.

I have a USB key over OTG with my Nexus. Using Stickmount or the latest ES File Explorer; the key mounts, I see it at /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/, /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 and /storage/sda1, I can read and write files, it doesn't show up under Settings > Storage, and I can't select it in Google Play Music. I'm assuming something like the Meenova would show the exact same issue.

Anyone know why this is a Nexus issue? Anyone know where the sdcard is mounted on working devices? Has anyone used a ROM that works with Google Music and OTG?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] y2whisper:
I believe devices that come with SD cards have other settings changed in their version to indicate there is a space for external storage while our device just has software or custom roms that mount these devices. settings like that won't work for play music, camera etc

Did some searching on up coming phones I am hating this trend of tablet sized phones. I see that at&t will sell this one soon. but it is mostly out of date and they are due replace it with s5 mini shortly...altho at 4.8 its hardly a "mini" I am thinking of retiring my LG optimus g simply because of its size. anyway those that have this phone, do you like it?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osvanberg:
I disagree, the battery performance is not good, it's f-ing great!!

I'm on stock and I have wifi, gps, mobile data and location ON 24/7. I also have push mail and a few other push apps ON 24/7. I use the phone alot for browsing the Web, reading things and forum discussions. I get an easy 5 hours screen time every day! Never charge it during the day, only during the night. Sometimes I get 7 hours screen time, but it's rare. The median would be 5 hours I think. That must be considered great for such a tiny b still powerful phone. I love the phone!!

(I have disabled 15 or so bloat apps that I never use - chat on, Google +, yahoo apps, hangouts etc).

Is the ringtone volume pretty loud...not a deal breaker for me but if my wife wants to upgrade, thats the first thing she looks for , lots of phones dont pass and many I just have to boast the audio of the ringtone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osvanberg:
I would say that the ringtone volume is okay, not better. I actually would like it to be a bit higher. But it's not really a big problem. There are alot of ringtone you can use that "are higher in volume from the beginning" to compensate for that. Or some apps that can modify the levels (some require root I think, but not all).

But actually, to be accurate, the messenger volume is really the one I would like to be higher. The ringtone volume is okay/good.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
What on earth is going on? I know where talking about 2 different Moblie operating Systems and devices, but he performance difference explains alot in terms of why the TyTN/Hermes....is underperforming in the Video department, especially with TCPMP.

If this is the case with Video, which can easily be measured for performance, how much more are these Hermes devices lacking in other departments.

Apparently the developers of TCPMP at corecodec are aware of this problem, but it seems to be more related to the Hermes itself.

Below are a few screenshots of 2 different Pocket PCs using the same Samsung 400 Mhz CPU but with completely different results.

Also, I would not necessariliy pay the figures too much mind if the Video performance was at least as good as on the Vario I or the HTC Prophet, but it is not IMHO.

Tell me what you guys think. Maybe I've got it all wrong.

I did have it at all wrong. please read up about the ATI thingy in other post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bydandie:
I'm dissapointed with the speed too. I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with the 32-bit bus used?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Hi bydandie.

You may have a point, but then I'm not having any other speed issues. What were the bus speeds on the Universal and Wizard? Do you know? Also;

Samsung (R)2442A [Hermes]

Samsung S3C2440 [HP iPAQ rx3715]

Both run @ 400Mhz

but as we can they don't appear to be identical processors. I'll google around for some info as I'm no expert, but it may still be ROM specific.

What Hermes variant have you got again? and what ROM version?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gmatharu12:
I was hoping the upgraded 200 extra mhz over the Vario, would be good, apprently it doesn't sound like the video playback is that much better. What is the video playback like ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wywywywy:
This is down to the Hermes not being able to utilise the ATI acceleration technology (can't remember the actual name) properly.

If you try playing a video in TCPMP with the acceleration on, on the Hermes, you will find that the screen shutters like mad!

So you can only use raw video mode for now, which is pretty slow. (But plenty quick enough for 320x240 videos, i.e. most "pocket pr0n")
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bydandie:
The Wizard was 16-bit. I'm using the v1605 but with the HTC ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] undergrid:
Both run at the same CPU speed, but have very different operating systems. According to the screen shot in the first post, the rx3700 tested is running pocket pc 4.21 (2003 second edition IIRC), whereas the Hermes is running Windows Mobile 5. I would guess the rx3700 doesn't have the slowdown related to persistant storage (for example), using some form of flash for memory is going to be slower than RAM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] luminus:
I have a Eten M600 on WM5 and the samsung 400 proc. the TyTN use also the 400 proc.

When i compare them both on speed then my Eten is much faster in every way. much more responsive. opening and rendering screens.

Altough i prefer my TyTN over the M600, the build-hardware and sound is much better.

I guess it must be the ROM that isn't perfect yet ( and it isn't perfect yet for sure).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
ROM or CPU lacking?

Thanks for your input guys. Luminus your point sounds like there may be hope for us all yet, but having said that, bydandie has switched to the TyTN ROM and I have moved to the I-mate ROM and admittedly we have both both probably experienced some improvements over the ROMs our devices shipped with but the Video playback issue remains, albeit slightly improved too (therefore indicative of being software related).

I spent several hours reading up on the SC32442A Samsung processor and I have to admit, whilst not having enough knowledge to fully understand all the technicalities, it seems that the CPU in the Hermes is one serious 'dude' which is not being used to its Full potential. Apparently its just as quick as a Xscale 520MHz CPU!

I can believe it due to the responsiveness of my device in general (with I-mate ROM), but its just not evident in the Videoplayback department.

I've also tried many differently encoded movie clips like its native MP4 and Divx etc but only negligable differences. I now believe, as posted by bydandie (I think), that its due to the ATI acceleration chip/software not doing what it is supposed and that maybe HTC should look into this as the different ROMs don't seem to make any worthwhile difference in this particular department.

For anyone who's reading this for the first time let me clarify that playback speed is acceptable to watch any well encoded movie (320x240 @ up to 768 kbps) but pausing, forwarding etc then resuming playback is where the problems occurr (for me anyhow). Benchmarking shows that the Wizard (overclocked @240MHz) easily outperforms the Hermes, but not in everything else. Though admittedly I also find the overclocked HTC Prophet @240MHz more responsive all round! Again this seems to indicate that acceleration support is missing across the border.

For the record: I no longer believe TCPMP is in any way at fault. It performs outstandingly on every other device I have ever installed it on, including Samsungs i300 which also had a 400MHz CPU and benchmarked the same videos at well over 300% compared to 120% - 180% were getting on the Hermes!

I give up for now, the problem is way beyond me but hopefully not far off from being found.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pgamble:
Samsung CPU

I'd be interested where you read about this CPU.

It's based on ARMv4 dating back to 2002 and as such is functionally very poor in comparison to the ARMv5 Xscale platforms. This is why it won't allow the current versions of iPlay to operate. It's also unlikely to have the xscale power and performance scaling capabilities as it pre-dated Xscale.

In practise the only thing that has affected me is iplay.

I have just upgraded my 2750 to WM5.

Contrary to what I was told when I purchased the upgrade (many months ago) it is much much faster than the tytn in every respect. It also seems more stable.

For day to day work though - I don't use the TyTN for video - ipod and Archos cover that for me - I find performance very adequate though.

Paul.

Re: Samsung CPU

Hi again pgamble. I remember you answered an earlier post of mine regarding the CPU. It seems you understand more on these CPUs than I do. :D

I've provided the linl below to where I read all about the 2442 CPUs (they seem to have variants of it). Hope you understand it better than me. Please let us know what you make of it. Bydandie mentioned that the Hermes uses a 32bit Bus as opposed to the 16 bit Bus used on the first Vario. Do you know if this would negatively or positively affect the speed of data? I would have thought positive, but then I don't fully understand all the technical jargon in the provided link which will probably explain how the technology is utilised.

I hope it doesn't have to share too much of the available data bus/ bandwidth (whatever it is), thus bottlenecking the CPU. I still think at this time its related to the acceleration technology of the ATI Imageon.

Hermes is a mini-powerhouse!!

Sorry I should have elaborated in that last post which directs you to more accurate information since I started this thread. The Hermes is in fact a mini-powerhouse and even beats the Universal for playback performance under the right conditions.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Moskus:
It's great that the Hermes is powerfull and beats the Universal under the "right conditions"! :)

But under the "right conditions" DOS beats Windows, it's just a matter on how you compare... :wink:

However, TCPMP still doesn't work as it should on the Hermes. *Standing by for new ROM*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
The ROM ive settled on (imate) will play back no problems with rawframebuffer set for the video output. Admittedly id prefer to use the ATI acceleration but this temporary measure is still ok for me. Sound playback has improved as it does not stutter to a halt after a pause or skip. (for the record im using a 2pass Xvid encoded avi file with 128kbps MP3 audio) this is evident in both the imate and dopod roms......but not the updated HTC rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
ATI & The Core Player v1.0

I agree with you both (last 2 posts), but from further investigations, it seems that the problem is not related to the ROM either but onlt to the ATI decoder. I've e-mailed ATI in the hope that they can enlighten or help us all. :lol: Fat chance of that I know, but in the ATI Hanheld Interface, there is a version number v2.30.......maybe that can somehow be updated directly if ATI will offer some support or through a ROM update (though it does seem like firmware) :cry: .

Anyway all said and done I'm going to keep looking until I find a way to get that bloody decoder to work permanently as it seriously improves all video formats by at least 100% in benchmarking, which means no dropped frames for High Quality encoded files.

Alternatively keep an eye out for the new TCPMP player (The Core Player v1.0) which will hopefully address all these issues within the coming weeks/months. :wink:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Yer i can imagine a ROM update may include an ATI-written updater within it which will sort out the problems. It DOES sound like something that can be fixed though so hopefully soon we will all have it working correctly. :lol:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
So, AKU3.3 ROM did fix the problem with ATI, where you had screen going crazy, but there are decoding artefacts which I belive are down to TCPMP/Coreplayer to fix.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Yer, if you look on the coreplayer forum there is a recommended encoding rate etc... but ive still watched videos no problem even using a different encoding rate.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] schriss:
Yes I always reencode, but still when I compare TyTN with my Smartphone SP5 (QVGA, only 200MHz!) or HP rx3715 - TyTN is slow, especially when playing over WiFi :(

performance: i didnt find a major difference. the great RAM management of the nexus is better but i didn't feel the g2 slower or something. of corse vanilla android is a familiar experience and has its pros

in hand: the nexus make you a little bit confident, better grip due to the Mat back. really confartble to use , especially with one hand. the nexus is way confertable in hand.

by the way, ive sold the nexus Yesterday cz i couldnt resist the offer ($)..i had money in hand and wanted to buy a new phone. head to the store, saw the htc M8, Htc M7, samsung S5, htc one max, note 3, xperia z2......many many phones in store......... i looked at the LG part, saw a white G2.. absolutly irresistible !! took it and payd the guy...went home... got internet..updated the g2 to 4.4.2....rooted it... ignored the 18 months warranty card hehehe.... xposed framework..& VrooOoooMmm VrOOooMmmM ...felt the same feelings when cruising in my '79 Pontiac Trans Am Muhuhahaha

You need to stick to something with the AX88772 chipset. The AX88178 might work - mixed danswers around the web on that one. Definately don't get anything with the SMSC LAN7500 chipset either. Stay far away from the AX88179. I bought a StarTech with that chipset and it did not work in any Android device I have.

Finally I bought the one Asus makes one for $19.99 on Amazon - has the AX88772 and works just fine (the Asus connect dock for the TF201/300/700's has that chip in it too so I knew it would work - took mine apart to find out what was in it).
[Asus Transformer TF701] albatross.:
Sleeepy2 - Is that adapter USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ?

The reason that I asked - on monoprice.com written USB 3.0 and the the color of socket - really blue.

But on ebay from the same seller USB 2.0. From Amazon - BobjGear-Ethernet - USB 2.0

Cadstar - Same things, I bought from Gigabit usb 3.0 - chipset AX88179 - working with Win 7..8 and linux , but not android and Asus tf701 :(
