What I think? I think I am gonna buy instead of pneumatic phone drop device, some decent case for my Note 8. AKA, couldn´t care less about all these tests.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
These are NOT tests they are idiots acting like..............idiots. ;)

Tip. If you drop a metal and double sided glass device chances are it will break....Shock, horror. :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
So sorry to learn your life is "Crap". Can we do anything to assist you? WE could always perform one of these drop tests on you if you like? How about we drop you from the fourth floor of a building and 'test' how you land? That would stop you from feeling like "Crap" and give you a whole new perspective on 'life'......What do you think? :p

Keep well. :fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Maybe somebody's claim of having strongest glass ever put on the phone is shuttered into little pieces. And like the fact N8 could survive multiple drops and still work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
So called 'drop tests' are a blight on technology and totally ignorant, absurd and stupid.

WHY do people 'drop test' a device that does not claim to be drop proof?

WHY are the 'testers' always shocked when the device breaks?

What approved method of quality control, ie testing standards, are being used.....Of course the answer is non.

Its not an industry secret that if you drop your Hi Fi amp', DVD player, speakers, lap top, DAP or many many other technological devices they WILL break. I akin this stupidity to purchasing a car and driving it into a wall to test the airbags! WHO does that?

Then we have the freezing of our Note 8 etc etc in coca cola, hot soup, fried and boiled and so, such absurdity goes on. These devices are expensive and to deliberately destroy such things for ZERO reason is just bloody absurd.

I don't find such things a joke I find them rather sick and those who perform such actions need help. Its vandalism pure and simple. When I consider how many people are waiting to receive their Note 8 on back order then see some jerk smashing one to pieces I feel anger. Its becoming an accepted 'Norm' and its a worrying trend. :mad:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jal3223:
Read what you said to the guy again to see why I said it was a jerk move. He was talking about a phone, so you offered to "drop him off a building to fix his crappy life".

Regarding the subject though, people accidentally drop phones all of the time. Some would like to know if the phone will be dead if it happens. Regardless of what you think, phones of 2 years ago even survived most drops. The new ones of today are getting more and more fragile due to the materials and curved aspects of the glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
I 'thought' the irony of my post was obvious? One drops a mobile from a fourth floor it WILL break. One is dropped of same floor and one will break. If this point of 'testing' needs spelling out what's the point?

I accidentally dropped a 15k watch 25 years ago. It broke, I was not surprised. Point is I didn't drop test it when I bought it 5 years earlier to see if it would break! :silly:

Regardless of what you say if you drop a mobile off a roof or by drone or helicopter, boil it etc blah blah it will break.

You agree mobiles are "fragile" if you understand that why advocate and support these absurd so called 'tests'?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] aakanayev:
Well, while I agree that freezing a phone and dropping it sorta stupid, drop tests aren't. No phones beyond Galaxy Active are advertised as drop-proof (that I know of) yet we all drop them, it's a reality of life, and while certain phones aren't specifically designed to be drop-proof, some designs are intrinsically better at distributing the energy of the drop to the frame, which the drop tests show. Like Nexus 6p is going to be significantly sturdier than Galaxy s8 because of the design, not because someone tried to make Nexus 6p a drop proof phone.

[Touch Cruise General] peter15965:
Please could someone help or explain.I purchased the orbit II last week,I am still getting used to its power and capabilities.

In the manual it says it can play AAC files.I have downloaded some onto the storage card and the touch flo player hasnt recognised them, nor has the windows media player.

It recognises and plays MP3 files.The aac files are not protected they are ones that I downloaded myself from my own cds.

Also why can I not see photos that I have just taken that are saved to my storage card,in the photo viewer on Touch flo.

Thank you in advance for any help,

Peter
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
pocketmusic can play aac
[Touch Cruise General] peter15965:
Thansk for that,but I was looking to find out what the situation was with the phone rather than get a programme that will do something that the manufacturers are saying the phone should do.

I have noticed that the windows media player does add the tunes to its catalogue but files them under ARTIST "UNKNOWN" (as though the tags arent working).The touch flo or HTC player however doesnt even do this.

Does anybody know of a solution to this other than spending money on a progamme to do something that the phone should do already,

many thanks

Peter15965
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
It's really wierd. I have the same problem and also had this problem with my previous phone which was an O2 XDA Orbit 1 (i.e. rebranded HTC Artemis).

I'm afraid that I never found a solution that didn't involve third party software. I think the problem is that, although HTC have included the decoder to play AAC and AAC+ files, neither of the built in players seem to be able to read the tags from the m4a container format so, although they can play the contents, they can't incorporate the tracks in a meaningful way into the library (I also saw Windows Media Player putting everything as unknown).

I know it's not what you were hoping to hear, and I'd love for someone to prove me wrong, but right now I think you're stuck with going the third-party route.

If you don't want to spend money then I initially used TCPMP. It doesn't have any library browser built in but I found that by intelligent choice of the directory tree structure I used to store my files (My Music/<Artist>/<Album>/<Tracks>) then I could use the file browser in TCPMP to browse my collection in a fairly convenient manner. I now use Conduits PocketPlayer because that has a fantastic library browser and reads the m4a tags perfectly; the program is pretty resource hungry but for now I'm keeping the faith in the hope that they'll address that at some point in the future (their support is good).

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] peter15965:
Thanks Julian at least I know its a common problem(does 2 handsets constitute common).

I will look into pocketplayer as a solution for the timebeing.I was hoping I wouldnt have to put other apps on that would slow the phone down.

Thanks again

Peter15965
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
You're welcome.

In most cases putting other apps on shouldn't slow down the phone. The reason apps can slow down the phone (and/or drain battery) can be because they have a Today plugin which, if not well written or if it needs to keep accessing the network, can slow things down. If an app does have a Today plugin (as PocketPlayer does) then you can often disable it (as you can for PocketPlayer).

The other reason for third party apps to slow down the phone is because Windows Mobile default behaviour when you click the top-right "x" button is to minimise the app (i.e. leave it running in the background) rather than close it down completely. Again, in this case an app that does anything significant when it is running in the background can slow down the phone. Clearly a music player needs to keep running while it is playing music but, once finished, you can make sure it is out of memory completely by selecting Exit from the application's menu.

In short, if you're careful to fully close apps when you don't need them, then you shouldn't slow down your phone at all (except so far as having a music player running in the background, whether built in or third party, will always put a drain on the CPU and make other apps run more slowly while the music is playing).

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
Oops. One big thing I forgot to mention. If you do look at PocketPlayer then don't download the latest version (3.51) from their web site. There is a nasty problem in that build specifically related to playing AAC files on HTC devices that I reported to them and has been fixed in an internal beta for 3.52 which, as the reporter of the bug, I have been given to test. You should email support@conduits.com and say that you want to use it for AAC on an HTC device and hopefully they (Carrie) will let you try out a beta build with the issue fixed.

The issue by the way is that 3.51 doesn't correctly detect end-of-stream when an AAC track has finished so (a) it doesn't auto-advance to the next track in the playlist because it thinks the current track hasn't finished yet and (b) even worse, if you forget to explicitly turn off your device after you've finished listening then PocketPlayer thinks it is still playing your last track and so the device will not put itself into standby and can drain the battery. The issue is fixed in the latest beta build and as an added bonus it also parses m4a tags natively (in 3.51 you could tag your collection by using an option in PocketPlayer to infer the tags from the filenames used in your folder structure but it now reads the real tags in the latest beta).

There is also one other more obscure problem I'm trying to help them diagnose related to AAC on HTC devices but I've been a bit busy recently so am due to give them some feedback and check status on that today or tomorrow. This may or may not be fixed at this stage, I can probably give more feedback in a couple of days so personally I would hold off until I give you an update. If you definitely want to go ahead with a beta build then I can give you a workaround that works most of the time.

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] peter15965:
Thanks again Julian, a fantastic answer by all accounts.I will hold off until you get an answer back about the problems you mention.

Thanks again for a most comprehensive answer.How will we know when the fix is through?

Peter15965
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
I emailed them this afternoon and got the answer. They've fixed the problem and I'm about to install a new beta to check it's OK. Apparently it was a Windows Mobile bug that they've managed to work around. I'll play with this new update pretty extensively tomorrow so you should get an answer from me in about 24 hours.

- Julian
[Touch Cruise General] Straputsky:
I found out some interesting thing: Some files are playing correctly but others refuse to work. I think that has to do with the bitrate of the files. All my m4a-files are bought from Apple Music Store. Most times my files are the unprotected ones with higher bitrate, but I have a few files which were protected (unfortunately I must have lost the copy protection somewhere, I'm really sorry for that :rolleyes:). The protected ones were encoded in a lower bitrate. What I found out is, that all my former protected files are played correctly. So maybe Windows Media Player can only handle files up to certain bitrate which obviously should be lower than 256kbps.

Further test: I created a playlist within windows mobile, but the Audio Manager (Touch Flo) wasn't able to read it. I managed that the playlist was recognized by the program, but it couldn't find any files.

So it is possible to play aac files (up to a certain bitrate) and to create playlists in Windows Media Player without any issues (yet). But I couldn't get it working in TouchFlo.

So, ok, I made half the way. Now it's up to you to make it fully functional. :D
[Touch Cruise General] untouchable:
have the same issue, I see the AAC file in the explorer and can play them from there but they are not loaded in the catalogue. anybody any other idea how to make the visible there? is buying pocket player the only solution?

thanks for the help in advance to everybody

:-)
[Touch Cruise General] JulianL:
The news isn't as positive as I'd hoped. The latest build has improved the problem (so at least they've identified it and found the right area to make changes) but it hasn't fixed it completely.

The player is still usable with AAC files but there is one glitch. After it's been playing for a while, say about 2 hours, then something seems to get corrupted in the image or via a bug in Windows Mobile itself such that thumbnails of the artwork for the album covers no longer display properly when browsing your music library. With the previous build the device would lock up at this point and require a soft reset so at least they've fixed that problem but there is still some sort of issue unresolved.

The workaround seems to be to just fully exit PocketPlayer every couple of hours and then re-launch it again so it's not too arduous and shouldn't prevent you playing with the trial version (although this partially-fixed beta isn't publicly available so you will need to contact support to see if they'll give it to you and given that it still has a known issue they might just ask you to wait a bit).

I'm obviously still working with them to try and 100% nail this issue.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTangoWhisky:
Let me guess, you want to show the bootanimation in a continous loop?

There was a way to put grouper and tilapia into bootloop, I accidential did so via flashing an early 'unlegacy' kernel for android 7 into an original android 5.1.1 and this did exactly, what I guess you want. The boot of the kernel finished in a crash of the system though the tablet reboots. Are you able to flash any kernel with twrp? At the moment I have 2 tilapia and one grouper layed to my desk for playing around, I'll test my solution and text back later, OK?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zagorteney:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrTangoWhisky:
I took my original tilapia on android 5.1.1

I used nexus root tool to unlock the bootloader

I installed twrp 3.1.1

I flashed the last kernel of the unlegacy Project

I made a factory reset

I didn't find any twrp-version without touch, so you need another recovery as you already do. Flashing the kernel shouldn't be a problem for you and as far as I found out, you can take any kernel for android 7. Be aware, that you have to edit the bootanimation.zip with root Access before you flash the kernel. I'll be adding links later today...
