[MX Player] Majora_Luna:
So MX player is great and all, and I download videos from youtube. Recently I downloaded one that MX player cannot really play using HW or HW+ and I'd like to find out why. Interestingly, the program I use to download videos from youtube (on PC) lists all the formats the video exists in, and there are two "1080p60" versions of different sizes. After opening them up with a program called MediaInfo, they seem to use different codecs/formats. One is AVC, the other is VP9.

When I said "MX player cannot really play" I mean "one video will show the first frame, audio will play normally, frames do not advance" (the AVC one). The VP9 one plays like a slide show with a frame updating every couple seconds, occasionally playing 2-3 frames at a time.

So yeah if anyone with more know-how could take a look at the video files in question, that'd be great. Here's the youtube video in question if you have your own way to download videos: SfjYhQ0dfCk

I WAS going to post dropbox links to 1) the two versions of the same video and 2) HTML files of the MediaInfo output and 3) The URL of the youtube video, but the forum is touchy about that apparently. Thank christ it doesn't complain about youtube video IDs.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
H/W & H/W+ decoder uses android's internal decoder.

Looks like you device doesn't natively support playback @60fps.

S/W may play. But, it may be laggy if the processor is not powerful enough.
[MX Player] Majora_Luna:
Ah okay. I thought it would at least play it very choppily but the video does not play at all. If I seek a few frames will play but then it will freeze again.

I'm also an idiot and forgot to mention that this is on a Galaxy S4. quad-core 1.8.
[MX Player] bleu8888:
Would you share download link of both videos? Your link 'SfjYhQ0dfCk' is actually not a link.

There are many reasons why video not playing properly or not supporting HW acceleration.

Sometimes bug or limitation of device's media framework, sometimes bug of MX Player, sometimes corruption of video file, and so forth.
[General Questions and Answers] vtsnaab:
I've totally given up on this & explain in my last post, below.

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

To start with I wish to say a few things to be as clear as possible:

I have been visiting here for a couple of years already, but never registered because frankly - I was intimidated. I am not a dev, or a coder - I am merely a guy who enjoys tinkering a bit - and I have discovered how much fun cheap Android devices can be.

Lately a chain store has an Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G (TCL) from tracfone.

It has a nice 4" screen, Android 4.4.2 and better specs than my LG L34C - so I got it.

Searched extensively and the closest info I found was here at this link:

http://xdaforums.com/andr...icial-t3193624

It seemed to root with Kingo Root - but only temporarily and its Superuser doesn't work very well at all.

Even tried the method here - but it starts & never completes:

http://androidxda.com/replace-kinguser-with-supersu

I really want to root this phone and would be happy even if I must use the app to re-install V4.3 from here:

http://alcatelonetouch.com/global-en...0126103150.rar

Also, there is a great bit of info posted here with a de-bloated stock ROM & recovery - but how can I flash it if it will not fully root and/or SU does not work ??

It seems most likely this phone has its bootloader locked by tracfone, and that maybe it is what stops it from rooting - but I do not know enough to be sure.

Any pointers to good help will be hugely appreciated.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] vtsnaab:
Also...

I tried Kingroot on this Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar (A460G, TCL, mt6582) running 4.4.2 .

It took a few tries (as suggested) and seemed to do...something - but not enough.

I very much hope some tool or something comes along soon that will allow full access to the file system on this phone as it really seems to be a very nice device.

Best Wishes to All.

Please Post. screenshots (or links to images), logs (from mdrt and spflashtool)(Just add .txt to the end if they do not have it) , The Android mt6582 scatter.txt that mdrt produced. :good:

Can you also please clarify your exact model as there seems to be different versions

[General Questions and Answers] vtsnaab:
This likely goes against the spirit of this place, but:

After quite literally wasting days trying to get past all the restrictions on this phone I've given up.

There are 2 major things which seem apparent to me from this experience=>

1 - Tracfone has made it impossible to root this phone - or at least so difficult as not to be worth it;

2- Kitkat is just plain nasty because of all the excessive restrictions it has.

End result here is that I have managed to get most everything I desired in another phone instead.

It is an Alcatel C1 AT&T Gophone.

It rooted in a minute, takes my CC sim card and instantly connects to my home Wifi.

After all this I've listed the A460G for sale, cheaply and if it does not sell that is OK as its charger & battery are the same as my new phone's and it can be used as an outside battery charger if/when I swap out batteries.

Conclusions:

- Avoid Tracfone...they and their products are just evil;

- Avoid Kitkat whenever possible or be prepared to fight it for any decent use a'tall.

Thanks for taking the time to read my query.
[General Questions and Answers] KenithO:
Hi,

Also got a Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G that I would like to root. I DL CPU-X and CPU-Z and both listed the Soc as a dual core 1.3GHz Mediatek MT6582.

Searching using "Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar A460G" this was the only post I found.

While I have never Rooted any Android phone am willing to spend some time searching for other rooting apps and hope to be successful with some guidance from more experienced members.

Recently I have changed my search to "root MT6582" and have found a few posts that claim to be able to root any listed MediaTek hardware.

[General Questions and Answers] vtsnaab:
I think I tried that one, but cannot be 100% certain as my list got messed up at one point.

Is yours also a tracfone ??

Seems to me that most of my problems were because of how tracfone locked it down so badly.

I will be very curious to see what you post back about your device and your success; please do tell how it goes ??

Addendum=>

This "Graphical Auto Root tool" is something that instantly 'updates' then morphs into root genius, which did not work for my phone at all.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] KenithO:
Hi vtsnaab,

Yes mine is a TracFone.

Searched using "Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar" and all I found was TracFone.

"Seems to me that most of my problems were because of how tracfone locked it down so badly" "After quite literally wasting days trying to get past all the restrictions on this phone I've given up." "I will be very curious to see what you post back about your device and your success; please do tell how it goes ??" As previously mentioned, I have never done this so will keep searching until find a post that has been successful.

Wonder if this same phone is sold under different brand names or networks?

Since this is a Chinese Soc am guessing if anyone has been able to Root it the post will be in Chinese. Since I am not fluent, hope some others are!

Regards

Ken
[General Questions and Answers] vtsnaab:
IMO, rooting is not really optional; most pre-paid devices I've ever seen or used are too crapped up as sold & therefore rather useless unless they can be de-crapified after successful rooting.

With a tool that actually works fully - it is usually quite simple from those I have done myself.

The Chinese ones I've seen & tried usually pretty obvious once opened; they connect visibly, and it has been obvious, like having a big button to click on, then wait for success or failure.

A couple of rooting tools have recently updated, but right now I am not eager to waste any more time fooling around with the very pretty glorified battery charger called 'A460G'.

Maybe if it sits & gathers dust for a time here someone will have an ah-hah moment with one & it will get resurrected, else - no biggie for me for it to sit around.

Best Wishes KenithO in your quest.

Please post back here with what you may learn ??

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] vtsnaab:
Generally speaking as a non-dev, this site has become less & less useful as time has passed - and that 'evil' poster is helping nobody - just making board spam.

This used to be THE place to find the best info when one wanted to gain root access.

Since the makers have come up with ever worse & worse ways to lock down their krapware there is less & less hope to gain root access anymore, basically, to sum it all up as an over-simplified generality:

If Kingo or Kingroot will not work on most any post-Kitkat device, then that's that - and even if one of those DOES work, there's a strong likelihood of being stuck with their krapware because a great deal of the time the only 'cure' for it is SuperSU-Me, and it fails quite often.

But - not to worry...

Once there are landfills with huge piles of orphaned/broken devices I'm sure someone will come up with clever ways to make them into Big Macs or something else equally useful & toxic !!

For me - the Android journey has mostly turned into keeping a list of what is useless and/or a waste of time; Alcatel & Tracfone are VERY high up that list of things & companies to avoid.
[General Questions and Answers] Bit Shifter:
As of today's date (11-24-16) I was able to fully root my Alcatel One Touch Pixi (A460G) TracFone, running 4.4.2 KitKat, in about 5 minutes using the latest version of KingoRoot (v1.4.8.2793) with USB Debugging (PC->Phone) after two tries. Everything seems to be working: SD read/write, BusyBox, etc. The only thing I wish I could figure out now is how to replace KingoRoot's featureless default SU app with SuperSU.

If KingoRoot doesn't succeed the first time, keep trying. The second, third or fourth try usually gets it on the more difficult devices. Hope this helps someone in the future.

EDIT: PLEASE DISREGARD. See my followup post below.

Your a real piece of work there friend ......

All who read this know the link maiden posted does not exist they are just posting to be posting there is a site dedicated to rooting and flashing of alcatel devices

www.alcatelroot.com try there maby they have some info

It is tracfone making it so difficult to achieve root i am not sure why yet but working on it

On another note ive ordered the alcatel device and will update once ive achieved root successfully with full directions
[General Questions and Answers] Bit Shifter:
I regretfully recant my earlier statement above and sincerely apologize if I mistakenly offered any others false hope. I was fooled into believing my A460G was rooted because of the strange way it mounts internal & external storage. It seems that the A460G views the external SD card as internal storage & the internal storage as an external card which allows full read/write access to the external SD card out of the box.

Currently, I am still looking for a way to root this phone. AlcatelROOT.com has nothing whatsoever on the Pixi Pulsar (A460G), neither does Google or Yahoo it seems. I am open to suggestions.

EDIT: I also request that the forum mods remove the "[RESOLVED]" tag in the subject line of this thread as the A460G has not, thus far, been successfully rooted that any of us are aware of. Thanks.

In theory, if we had a custom recovery, we could just flash recovery and install supersu. Right?
[General Questions and Answers] tabuRebel:
nopeski

sorry bud but you would still need to unlock the bootloader somehow before flashing a recovery which would mean you need to root it first or find an exploit
[General Questions and Answers] maacgyyver:
This phone can be rooted by first unlocking the bootloader as I did con a zte prestige phone locked to sprint/boost thanks to "farkin genius" Mr. Hroark13, the solución, it's on these forums. Afaik, it's an ADB command done while connecting phone to pc and it should work. Haven't tried it yet. Look up

"zte prestige temp root achieved xda".

It could be your ticket to rooting this bastard. Shame con you Alcatel and tracfone + bigbrother.

"This was found by me (Hroark13),I can not believe it was this easy

To turn off nand / system write protection on the ZTE ZMAX and maybe other phones

run this command in adb shell or terminal

reboot disemmcwp

to re-enable write protection issue this command

reboot emmcwpenab

I AM A FARKING GENIUS"

Massive credit goes to Mr. Hroark13

So basically use this command and then use ur favorite way to root and same as usual. Bada-boom Bada-bing permanent root. Restarted 10 times and never lost root.

Once you unlock the bootloader, it stays unlocked. Shouldn't need to use it again, and it can only be used again (for whatever reason) on the same phone you used it first on, and cannot be transfered to another phone, if I remember correctly.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] thecaptain0220:
This is from their FAQ

"If I buy a SunShine license, can I use it on multiple phones? "

"No - one license is good for one device. You can reuse SunShine on that device, if necessary, we however NEVER recommending setting your device S-ON and we can not be held accountable if SunShine is incompatible with your device after the first s-off. We did try a license replacement program early on, however the majority of replacement requests turned out to be fraudulent forcing us to stop replacing licenses."

They do not recommend re-locking the bootloader after the fact. You can go back to stock everything without locking the bootloader. I cant see any reason to relock the device after it is unlocked. It does look like it is supposed to work on the same device if you need it to however.

[Asus ZenWatch 2] tempurastyle:
I am about to buy a Zenwatch 2, but I haven't decided on which size to get. Recently I have figured out that the larger Zenwatch 2 model, which has a confirmed built-in speaker, has something like a speaker grill at the bottom. In comparison, the smaller Zenwatch 2 doesn't have any openings. Is it therefore possible that the 1.45" model doesn't have a built-in speaker?

I wasn't able to find teardown articles about the the smaller model, maybe someone can help? I am inclined to buy the smaller Zenwatch 2, but if it's true that there is no speaker built inside, then I might give the larger model a shot.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] player911:
Food for thought but great question. The backs just unscrew off, maybe be the first 1.45" teardown review?

Perhaps buy from a local store and return if no.

The speaker was the selling point for me. I don't know why they would remove it unless for space.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] tempurastyle:
That's a good point. Unfortunately, I don't live in a country where the law enables consumers to return goods for no reason after purchase.

[Asus ZenWatch 2] iitsdestiny1:
I, myself got the larger Zenwatch 2 just a couple days ago, but had to return it due to an apparent scratch on the glass. I opt'ed out of getting the large one again and instead went for the smaller one as I'm a lady with fairly small wrists (but the larger one didn't bother me that much). I of course find out the speaker doesn't exist on the smaller one only after I got the watch, and now I'm a sad panda.

It seems a little silly, but is anyone else bummed about this? If you were in my shoes, would you get the larger one just for the speaker? I feel like I was pretty whatever about it until I found out it didn't have it and now I almost feel like I'm a spoiled brat, only of course I went the cheaper route and got this watch over the more expensive ones on the market.

With speaker, I can't even say I'd use it a lot. I can't imagine speaking to my watch in public, in fact I'm pretty sure I wouldn't and would just use the speaker functionality when at home or alone, while my phone is not with in reach. I wouldn't play music through my wrist either. I guess it's more of a convenience and who knows what kind of apps will become available that uses the speaker function. I'm really just looking at it as, pay the same price between two devices, one's slightly bigger with speakers, and one is slightly smaller, yet thicker, and no speakers...

First world problems huh?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Entanon:
I think your issue is perfectly reasonable. The standard watch is big even for some men, and its reasonable to assume that if you take the smaller watch, all you are sacrificing is the battery life. I think ASUS should really spell it out loudly that you lose that functionality on the smaller watch.
