[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] no.0ne:
That's not a good idea as a software decoder will burn through your battery, especially with HD content.

[MENTION=2835218]Junetastic[/MENTION] Can you try playing the sample videos from this site http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ ? I have downloaded them to my computer and then tried streaming them to my tablet using the HW+ decoder and it worked without any problems (except the 'Birds' video, which is 40mbps and is too much for my wifi network to handle reliably. Once copied to the tablet, it of course played without problems.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gilani7:
I usually just have to use the software decoder for the Audio. Didn't really know it would take a hit on the battery. How much more will it really take? I have gone through many media players and found this to be the easiest solution.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] no.0ne:
Oh, I don't think you have to worry about battery life if you software decode just the audio. It's the video that takes a lot of work to decode. From what I seem to remember, software decoding of HD video can drain the battery up to several times faster (depending on brightness and other settings, which can change the relative energy consuption of the decoding process).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Junetastic:
I just downloaded one file (Suzumiya) and it didn't work with H/W+ Decoder; however, I was successful in streaming some episodes of Silicon Valley from my PC with it (and using S/W decoder for audio).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] no.0ne:
Ok, I think I know where the problem comes from - I bet you have P600, the Exynos version right?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Junetastic:
Yeah. Am I out of luck?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] WJThomas:
I have the P600. I downloaded all of the video clips to my desktop. When I stream them directly using MX player, I do get some lag and stutter. However, when I add them to my Plex library I can play all of them just fine. The Plex server handles all the transcode that is needed and I just have to click play. I don't need to worry about formats or bitrates (unless I want to). It is so simple my 5yo can use it to watch videos on her tablet. She can even sync videos for offline viewing on car trips.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] no.0ne:
Well, it seems that the hardware decoders are quite different on the Snapdragon vs. Exynos and since Samsung is very sparse with documentation, the MX Player developers didn't manage to optimize their software for the Exynos (this is just my guess). So you might try a different player, perhaps some will work fine. But then again, it might not. In which case you might have to abandon universal streaming and either transcode your videos or use an application that will do it for you on the fly (e.g. Plex as WJThomas proposed). The downside is you have to use a computer (and often a paid app as is the case with Plex) and can't stream your content from a NAS.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] WJThomas:
The upside is that you don't have to worry about which device supports which formats, and that you can stream content from some NAS's without a computer. If you subscribe to PlexPass the app is free, and you can use the app to sync media to your device (and then you can even stream from device to device)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Megalith:
Can someone please explain how they're playing .mkv files without playback stopping after a few seconds?

What I'm trying to do is play full bit-rate Blu-ray .mkv rips. I am using ES File Explorer to navigate to shared folders on my Windows PC, and what happens is that the video will eventually start playing but then stop after 5 or so seconds of playback and never continue again. I've tried accessing the files via DNLA software like Servio, but I get the exact same result each time.

And bandwidth is not the problem, as I was able to stream uncompressed content just fine when I had my Surface Pro 2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] blindmanpb:
I use ES File Explorer to browse a 3TB networked hard drive and stream Blu-Ray .mkv files to my tablet with no problem. I use MX Player Pro (H/W decoder, H/W+ causes MX Player to force close on KitKat). No issues with playback.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PensFan66:
Im using the SD Card that was in my S3 for 2 years and I had no issues.... I format it on my S5 and it seems fine - but If I try to write or read from it, I get errors ... if I put in my Tablets, its fine - read and write ....

Am I missing something????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scott14719:
Maybe. I'm guessing you know about the SD restrictions KitKat puts on SD cards, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PensFan66:
Actually, No :) My last Kitkat was AOKP on my S3 ....

Just did a quick look - I see what you mean ... Bummer - yet another reason to hope for Root soon ... Cant make sense of why Google thought this was a good idea?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Greycloak42:
You can still use the built in "my files" app to move files to the external sd.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidy973:
Hi,

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with that issue but when I turn on equalizer, i got breath (IDK if that's the right word in english, it's "du souffle" in french, a "shhhhh" sound) at each blank in a song.

No problem at all when equalizer is off.

I tried several earphone, in-earphone and headphone but nothing change. I tried other music player instead of Google play music, same issue if equalizer is on.

I'm on stock and rooted, anyway to get that breath off with equalizer ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Hiss?

Does the Same happen when eq is set flat?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Have you played around with the EQ settings? It might be specifically Bass Boost or Surround Sound which is causing it. For the record, there is no audible hiss when using EQ for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidy973:
I think that it's hiss.

No hiss when EQ set at Flat, i'm not using Bass boost or surround.

It seems to be linked to 14kHz frequency. I got the same hiss with the n7 2013 when i play with the 14 kHz frequency.

No issue with my Cowon J3. Weird, so i won't use this frequency.

Thanks to all anyway.

Edit : Hiss even with EQ off at very low volume (so i will increase it because it tends to disappear at higher volume, EQ just accentuate the effect at low volume) on both N5 and N7. Bad thing from coming from a great MP3 player such as the J3 lol.

Thanks anyway

[Off-topic] SaintCity86:
Hey guys.

I started watching this from its first episode. I like the "what is actually going on here? " feel to it. I stopped watching it every week though cuz now, out of a thirteen episode season, only 2 episodes are dedicated to the bigger picture of the show. The there's 11 filler episodes which is just a man in a dog suit, ****ting on elijahs character for 30 min.

Which is my main problem with the show. I don't wanna watch 30 episodes of a guy acting like a dog just to get to the few episodes that explain things.

I have a few theories though now that I've caught myself up with season 3....

Wilfred is ryans guide through a sort of purgatory due to the over dose being successful. However, I don't like that theory since it's the first thing people think of.

The one in leaning toward the most is, he's like the trickster gods throughout religion.

He creates mayhem, because he enjoys it.

There's two ways that could go though, one, it benefits Elijahs character in some way... Or two, it doesn't. But with the last episode of season 3, with the drawings and his dad and the symbol and the statue....I think it's obvious that he's some metaphysical type of entity.

The statue had the typical Joker type face on him too.

Then there's Bruce. Who im beginning to think is some animal too. Maybe a cat. But I don't know why he wouldn't have a costume on too. But I don't think Bruce is a person in the real world.

I like the concept of this show a lot. However, I hate that the main concept is usual only covered in the first and the last two episodes of each season.

Contemplating getting the S5....
[Off-topic] Archer:
Sorry, but I have to disagree. To me, Wilfred is Ryan's saviour. Yes everything looks bad, but he always helps him. There have been no end of episodes that start out with Wilfred saying something seemingly innocuous, but then when he repeats it again at the end of the episode it all makes sense and it turns out he was right all along.

I think Wilfred is Ryan's guide and possibly Ryan has been dead all along, like a 6th Sense meets Jacob's Ladder kind of world.

The American version has that long-running back story, but other than that it's staying pretty true to the original. Did you ever watch the Australian one? I'd highly recommend it, and it has nothing to do with the American storyline so it won't spoil anything. You can clearly see the evolution from that to the US version, and that evolution is the attempt to explain Wilfred. The Australian one is pretty much a buddy programme, with a farting, swearing dog.

I love Wilfred and can't wait for the 4th season to start!
[Off-topic] SaintCity86:
Yeah but that's the part of the show I don't like. If he is some metaphysical gaurdian Angel, then why is most the season him acting like a stupid dog. I think they should stay true to the deeper storyline about what's really going on.... Instead of only dedicating 3 episodes to the story, and filling the rest with fart jokes. One things for sure, Wilfred is not being honest. And so far, it seems he's getting worse and worse. For the better eventually...idk

Contemplating getting the S5....

I am using google voice for my voicemail. It functions like it should except for false voicemail notifications. It will show that I have a new voicemail, but when you click on the notification, it goes to the dialer and there is not a voicemail. The notification goes away, but comes back later. I have searched for a solution with no luck. I am stock rooted with xposed and gravity box. Can anyone help?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokke9191:
Go into Google voice app settings and unchecked view and play voicemail from the phone call log. Then when you get a voicemail you can click the notification and it will download the voicemail mp3 file to your phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:
Thanks for the response. I am trying your advice. How did you figure this out?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokke9191:
I use Google voice as my primary number and had the same issue as you. The feature to play voicemail from the dialer just flat out doesn't work. So I click the link in the notification to download the message to the phone. Then click the download notification, and choose Google play music or Es file Explorer to play it. It's a cumbersome method, but it works.

hi everyone

first post to this great forum

Had to hard reset my K-JAM (unbranded, not locked, shipped with latest IMATE ROM 2.16.9.1 WWE)

Now there is no option to define an outgoing COM Port for Bluetooth. In coming is ok and i get the option of either selecting COM6 or COM7.

thanks, any help appeciated

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lvlolvlo:
airwolf, try the registry edit to enable the "secret" gps setting menu under settings---connections

chrisredmayne,

you'll need to download and install the newer rom as the older roms do not support the stero headphones. don't forget to pair them...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ClassicalDonkey:
If you pair your bluetooth and then try you shold get a outgoing port or you can do the above and unlock the GPS setting i have them unlocked but i don use them!! only help if you can not do it the other way!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] AirwolfUK:
thanks for the tips.

Could someone please let me have the registry key to unlock the port. I used a register editor/ tweak software and checked what looks like the GPS unlock option, but still no luck

thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] AirwolfUK:
quick update-

I went back to basics and deleted the pairing i had.

Now when i search from the laptop the only options i get from the device is Dial up and Audio. In other words, NO serial service is available on the device.

Again, this is after a hard reset. Is it possible for the bluetooth stack to get corrupt?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaunIOW:
I've got a UK release HTC One (M7) that was bought unlocked SIM free in July last year. It has never been rooted, but has had all official updates applied so far (Kitkat 4.4.2 the latest, still waiting on Sense 6.0).

The phone battery lasts a few days on standby, but actually use the phone for anything (calls, texts, surf the net, simple game or listen to music) the battery drains at roughly 1% every 2 mins (It's a good job I don't play graphic games, watch video or stream). I factory reset the phone and deleted everything on it, charged it to 100% and in the 2 hours it took me to set it up again and re-download apps and install them the battery dropped to 38%, so based on that I'd be lucky to get 4 hours use out of the phone on a full charge.

I have battery saver on with roaming, syncing, GPS, Bluetooth, mobile data all disabled as standard, with only wireless enabled (but that goes off when the phone sleeps - screen is set to low brightness and 1 minute), I've also gone through every app and disabled those I can't delete and that give me the option like Blinkfeed, FB, Twitter, Maps, Google Music, Play, Drive etc, but the battery still drains quickly - any ideas please? would rooting and using a custom ROM help?

Cheers
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Try a battery monitoring app like GSAM or BBS to check for apps and wakelocks, which are causing the drain.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1234d:
So you got 2 Hours of screen on time.. I'd say that's pretty decent, considering all the app installs you must've done. Typical battery life on this phone would get you anywhere between two hours to six hours of screen on time. In the remaining 38%, you'd probably get an hour and 15 or 30 minutes. What you were doing after you reset the phone wan't normal usage.. If you want to improve the battery life, read the posts on the battery stats thread and ask for recommendations there. Also, try keeping your phone cool, it'll help the battery a lot. Basically, what i've noticed is as soon as the phone gets hot, your battery gets over much quicker.

[One (M8) Accessories] hunchi:
Hey there,

i am looking for a protective case to use with my quadlock universal adapter. For those of you who don't know it: It's a mount system that can e.g. be used on bikes.

This is what the adapter looks like (attachement). It basically gets glued on back of the phone (uargh) or on back of a protective casing.

Therefore the case should have:

*a hard plastic back surface (non-rubbery, non-TPU/silicone), so that the adhesive can stick well

*a flat back surface (because the adapter is flat itself, so the contact area is very small when it is glued to a curved surface such as the M8's)

*a tight fit (at least it should not easily come off), as this thing is what holds the M8 on my bike when I go downhill.

Somehow it was really easy to find such a case for my old Galaxy S3, but for the M8 I already bought three different cases and none of them looks trustworthy in combination with this adapter. If you have any ideas, suggestions etc - or have seen a case that meets the criteria above, I would be really thankful. Even better, if it's available somewhere on amazon...

Thanks a lot and best regards!

[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
my seidio dilex is as far as i can tell totally flat on the back. I use it with a tetrax nub superglued to the back and it works great. I like it because when im on out of town trips or when im not gonna be driving when going out with friends, i can easily remove it and swap to a bumper or slim case without much hassle.

Hello,

I wanted to get this but I wanted to know if it has worked for you so far...since the HTC m8 is a bit curved to fit the hands as well. please let me know on your findings!

[One (M8) Accessories] hunchi:
Hey Ns4n3,

I asked the QuadLock support and they recommended the otterbox commuter series.

However I found it still to be a fair bit curved. I tried it nevertheless - haven't had a problem so far but now on the edges the adhesive starts to delaminate. It's still rocksolid, whatsoever. I would'nt hesitate mounting it to my bike yet.
