Here is my new game review:

Asphalt 6 on my Z2

[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] iqbalfauzal:
Is it possible to play PS4 games using PS4 controller on this phone, without having the console?
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] MechaBouncer:
No. Remote Play streams from a personal PS4 console. You either need to have one or use someone else's. Also WiFi is required. It won't work over 3G, 4G, or LTE.

What you're asking about is probably more like PlayStation Now, but that's not yet available on any phones that I'm aware of and I'm pretty sure it's only PS3 games right now.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] iqbalfauzal:
Thanks mate, I'd be thrilled if it is possible
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] MechaBouncer:
Yeah. Given the existence of Remote Play and PlayStation Now, I very much suspect it's something that Sony wants to do. I'd even go as far as to say that this would be more likely to happen instead of a Vita successor, but Sony has quite a history of missed opportunities.
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] iqbalfauzal:
Sorry but I don't understand what do you mean by sony has a quiet history of missed opportunities, can you elaborate it?
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] iqbalfauzal:
Wow splendid. so if I'm not mistaken, I could say that they tend to not using their existing device that could be potential, but instead they launch new product which more likely has the same capability, am I right?

I think that's their marketing strategies to "refresh" their old service with the new device, which attracts consumer easily rather than developing their old device. Clearly they want us to just spend, spend and spend our money ?
[Xperia Z3 Themes and Apps] MechaBouncer:
Well, being a consumer electronics company at the core, that is their mode of operation. They also spent a long time creating proprietary formats that were hardly better than their competition, usually losing because they were more expensive. Granted, some formats have been superior (Betamax was actually better than VHS) and the have won some of the format wars (Blu-ray mostly won due to it being in the PS3).

I think the biggest problem is that they create some great things, but then don't know how to support them or push them to do new things. They spend all their effort on creation, but then hold back once it's sold. They probably suspect it to just automatically draw attention and support for it on its own and when this doesn't just automatically happen, they stop supporting it.

Considering that it is a business and they do have quite a few failed formats, I can rather see why they might be this way. I mean, right now the PlayStation brand is pretty much carrying them due to the fact that they listened to developers and users on what they wanted the most instead of creating something from scratch and expecting it to draw attention. So things are shifting a bit. I just hope that it leads to good things.

[MX Player] Night.Lurker:
Hi, Recently I've downloaded video 1080p from youtube but when playing it, the video laggy but the audio just playing properly fine...

I thought it because the decoder set to H/W, but when switched to S/W both video & audio become laggy, then try switched to H/W+ it become worse (doesn't support this kind video it says...).

When I see media info of video, it use VP9 format video.

Here is the video: www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=aE2GCa-_nyU

I've tried on 3 devices; Asus Zenfone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, and LG G2, all of it have the same issues...

And tried on PC to check if the video has errors or something, but the video is playing perfectly fine.

Is it something like bugs so the video didn't play properly? Or android can't play video with format VP9 properly?

Because I've tried other video 1080p, it can be played properly.

Oh FYI, I've tried using few other video player, and none of its can play the video as good as MX Player. That's why I've been using MX Player as default video player.

Hope there will be improvement on the next update so the video VP9 1080p can be played properly ;)

MX Player is the best :)
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
All 1080p videos are not same.

It may lag at various parameters like higher frame rate, bitrate, color depth,....etc.

For example if you consider a video 1080p @ 30fps inorder to display 1 sec of videos it needs to decode 30 frames. Where as in 1080p @ 60 fps it requires 60 frames to be decoded. So, It will require the double power. Like wise various encoding parameters matters in video playback.

Second, H/W uses your hardware's native decoder . If the codec is natively supported by your device, H/W decoder will be the best option.

In case of S/W decoder, it supports more video formats since it depends on the ffmpeg. But, decoding will be completely done one CPU. So, it needs very high cpu power. That's why it's more laggy.
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
VP9 isn't a widely supported format. That's likely why HW and HW+ don't work well with it; most devices don't have VP9 hardware acceleration.

SW rendering of a 1080p video is very demanding. Even on the most powerful devices, since there's no hardware acceleration, expect performance to be sub-par. Currently, devices on the market can only SW render 720p smoothly.

This being said, for SW mode, try Settings > Decoder > use speedup tricks. See if that helps a little bit on SW.

Ultimately, the best option is to reencode the video to something like H264/AVC mp4.
[MX Player] gurupanguji:
VP9 on KitKat+

Can you explain more where you're trying to playback the video? VP9 support is built in to Android from KitKat+ and should not have an issue playing back. Additionally, can you try playing back the video on Chrome on Android and see if there are still decode issues?

Thanks.
[MX Player] Night.Lurker:
I see... So the point is the problem because most devices don't have VP9 hardware accelaration yet, especially for 1080p VP9...

Well... I've tried using SW speed up trick, it didn't much help...

Yeah...maybe the best option is to reencode the video to H264...or download 720p version..., cause the 720p VP9 can be played perfectly fine.

Still... I hope the MX Player developer team has plan to improve playback for 1080p VP9 video :)

Btw thanks for your answer bro :)

As I said before, I'm trying to play 1080p VP9 video (that I've downloaded from youtube using IDM on computer) on my Asus Zenfone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, & LG G2 using MX Player.

But when I playing it, the video is laggy on all devices...

Surely you can streaming it using youtube app & chrome android and it plays well till the end cause the available quality option in those apps is up to 720p (the 1080p quality option is hidden on those apps so I can't select it to test if it plays well or not).
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
That would be something you would have to ask the ffmpeg team to do, since MX uses their codecs. Unless the MX dev has a magic trick up his sleeve, I don't think there's much else MX can do to further improve SW playback performance for a video that exceeds the CPU's capabilities...

Likewise, on a hardware acceleration, it's limited by the hardwaree put in place by the manufacturer... so this aspect would need a new device.
[MX Player] coc014:
Hi, i bumping this thread because i encountered the issue on some youtube vids too, but it's mostly playing fine, i think that with a few updates it will be good :) my phone is getting hot fast though.. (oneplus one)

VP9 1440p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNNfZuIA1GQ : fine

VP9 1080p with a lot of "motion" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGyZY4HNumw a bit laggy
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I think I have already answered.

Read the second post. Video encoding parameters matters.

If you can't play in H/W or H/W+ decoder, Don't expect the smooth playback on S/W. It fully depends on CPU. If is laggy then your processor is not powerful enough. Sometime enabling the speed up tricks may reduce the lagging.

One more thing, using CPU will drain your battery faster than H/W. When CPU runs it's maximum speed for long time it will emit more heat which may lead to issues.
[MX Player] coc014:
Okay thank you. Then i hope new processors will have vp9 decoding h/w :)
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
The chance of that happening, I can't see to be high. The MPEG consortium probably pays a lot to lobby chipset makers to only support MPEG formats, such as H.264 and H.265.
[MX Player] vivan000:
Lolno, it's just that industry is not interested in VP9. Even if they don't have to pay royalties they still have to develop asics (and h/w engineers are saying that it's not h/w friendly) and include them into the chip. It still costs a lot.

And what is the point of supporting vp9? It's an ugly google toy that they're ready to abandon (say hello to vp10 in 2015).
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Ah yes, ASICs. I don't think manufacturers would be very happy at making more dies for new ICs. They already aren't happy with being forced to support Hi10p in H.265.
[MX Player] vivan000:
Forced? I would be happy if they were forced, but, at least Qualcomm, have no plans whatsoever
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
Well, this sucks. Looks like we'll be waiting another generation... Where did you find that support chart?

Edit: We should move this discussion to the 10-bit thread. I'm going to quote you over there. http://xdaforums.com/apps/mx-player/sticky-mx-player-10-bit-video-discussion-t2725241/page12
[MX Player] exatonix:
abput supporting vp9 1080p and undeleting files in mx player p higher andrpid version

first of all:

"Most probably you’re on Android marshmallow 6.0 API. If you’re trying to delete a video that is located on the external storage then its not possible due to some bug in the file system and mx player.

If you’re on the internal storage then MX player has only read only rights on the directory on which you’re currently on."

or just delete on your internal system file manager application.

Second answer about playng videos vp9

becayse you can't play vp9 if you download youtube videos with IDM (internet download manager)

because it is bull**** and its newer versions used idmmkvlib.01 codec.so when downloadimg it not only download andit convert into ist bull**** special format.so won't play withx pr others.try another downloader or manual download yt videos i recomend.
[HTC Sensation XL] kebrit:
hi.

I got a HTC sensation xl that not boot and adcard not accessible in recovery.

and asked me to recovering camera photos and repairing or installing rom.

device::

HBOOT-1.28.0006

RADIO-3831.16.00.16-M

RECOVERY >> CWM v5.8.3.1

mount and 'adb pull' dosent work in recovery.

when I use "adb shell ls" command ,no directory found in sdcard.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

by searching in the web i thing problem come from kernel or memory partitions ...

my solutions ::

1. flashing kernel and test the mounting.*

2. flashing full .RUU rom.

3. partitioning memory by built-in shell programs.

I update the recovery, after that i flash kernel(from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920274) by adb sideload recovery dose not boot and restart!!

if you have any suggestion about : kernel , solutions and more please help...

Hey,

is there any chance to change the ringe tone directory? I already read some threads. But changing directory in regedit HKCU\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring did not work :(

I aslo read that i might not be possible to change rings directory to SD-Card because of insufficient access speed to card... Is that right?

Thanks for update...
[P3600 General] TC25FFM:
Anybody? :confused:

Thx...
[P3600 General] anonimo:
What's the purpose of changing the default ringtones directory? You can still put your ringtones wherever you like and select them with File Explorer....
[P3600 General] kaer:
I have set in registry to point to my storage card.

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring

Directory = \Storage Card\Rings

where "Rings" is a sub folder inside my Storage Card.
[P3600 General] cortez140369:
I have tried to make the change but it seems not to work.

Some suggestion?

Thanks
[P3600 General] nbc17:
How do you change registry? Thanks.
[P3600 General] _nima:
yes,he can do this by file explorer, but when i select an mp3(for ex.) it copy that to rom of device, (without MMC it will work)...this will populate :( the memory
[P3600 General] banesi:
Well, it seems that WM6 can see ringtones in root of storage card so there's no need for any registry tricks (it doesn't work either) just copy all your ringtones there and select it from Sound&Notification option in Settings...
[P3600 General] NeilM:
I'd advise not putting ringtones into a Storage Card. Most of the time it will be OK, but sometimes, the initialisation time of the card will mean the phone won't ring till after the call gets transferred to VM.

MP3 and WMA ringtones need the initialise the WMP kernel to play, which adds to the time taken to activate.
[P3600 General] maxxtech:
Just copy the ringtone you need to \Storage Card\My Documents

works fine to my wm6.

thanks.
[P3600 General] mdou:
You can also create a folder on the storage card called 'My Ringtones' and it works :)
[P3600 General] Erez-lev:
10X maxxtech,

its work!
[P3600 General] Andych:
The other trick is to shorten the mp3 down to about 15 to 20 seconds of the actual part of the song etc you want.

This keeps the file size right down.
[P3600 General] moto2000:
sorry to bring back a really old thread, but i figured its better than creating a new one...

I havea question, I added ringers of *.wma's to my \windows directory, but when I go to Sounds & Notifications, I dont see any of my added ringtones, am I doing something wrong here?

In the Registry, the location for rings states the "\Windows\" directory...
[P3600 General] moto2000:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch3mn3y:
Hi,

I just got strange problem with my XPlay. When im on custom (stock-based) rom (tried dixperia 3 or turboui gb)+kernel (lupusgb, doomkernel or extremekernel) I cant play games like GTA 3/VC (didnt try others). However the same games (i made apk backup) work with full stock (they start to dl app data).

After data is downloaded games work but still only on full stock, not custom

Is not adreno booster as i deleted it and as i remember gta works fine i with it.

Any idea?

EDIT: Full stock + custom kernel doesnt work neither, so it seems that my phone has problems with kernels
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BilboTrousing:
Hello. I recently bought a Nexus 5 (like 2 days ago) and I'm having some issues with the touchscreen. When my battery gets to 25% or lower, the screen goes mental. The so called ghost-touches are getting a hold of it and I can barely do anything. Today the battery got to 10% and the touchscreen 'dieded', as in I couldn't even unlock the screen. It did show some minimal movement but that was it. After I plugged in the charger everything went back to normal and the touchscreen acted like it should, no ghost-touches or anything.

Someone told me this problem might have something to do with some battery saving settings, but I couldn't find any kind of option similar to that. Any thoughts? Can I fix it somehow? Is it a general Nexus 5 problem? Should I send the phone back to warranty? Thanks.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
So, I was paging through the settings on the X at a store and noticed something I haven't yet seen mentioned - the ability for the device to remain on so long as the user continued to look at the screen. Additionally, you could have the screen shut off and lock more quickly than normal if the user looked away from the device. How is this working for you all?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0.0:

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
Is this feature on by default? It would seem that using the camera at all times would spend a bit of energy.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
I believe it uses the IR sensors rather than the camera. Reason being that I've compared my battery life with the feature turned on and off, and there's no difference to speak of. Having the camera on to track your face would consume a fair amount of battery and would've shown up in Settings>Battery as well.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floepie:
If so, there would be no difference in performance in the dark, which contradicts the above poster's story.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
tbh, its pretty hit and miss most of the time. Even the Moto demo requires your head to be at a particular position vis a vis the screen for it to show up as a detect. I'd still maintain its the sensors, but I could very well be incorrect.

Well they can use previous generation AMOLED displays. I don't think resolution and size have an effect on the generation of AMOLED. For example, the Galaxy Alpha uses Samsung's latest AMOLED technology even though it has a 4.7 inch 720p display.

I am hoping we get a brighter and a longer lasting display. Burn-in is such a real issue, as is the fact that LCD displays are usually brighter.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwalker0906:
I dont get this supposed burn in issue....i have had every galaxy phone with absolutly no issues with the screen. I have had my note 3 for a year now and again the screen is just as beautiful as day one. Sure if you put some abstract image on full brightness on screen for 6 months straight you might get a issue...but in actual real world usage...no such thing
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
The amoled burn in issue is still alive on the GS4 we had 3 and all have had it to differing degrees. I have no idea about the gs5 or note4 generation panels. I'd wager they would have at the least some kind of image retention though. Just a educated guess. The latest LG oled TV panels have image retention issues (glance at avs forums). Image retention, which looks like like burn in, but it can be rectified (like with plasma TVs). Burn is permanent so maybe this is a case of semantics. Think status bar battery icon. It is there 24/7. Maybe you just don't notice it or panel to panel discrepancies show more or less issues.

Having said all that you have to really look for it on our GS4's and its certainly NOT a deal breaker imo
