Wow, I never would have tried WMP as it usually plays like junk (at least with WMV files). The performance of WMP with the posted clip above is amazing. I would rather not have to convert at all which is a shame in light of the processing power the Diamond has available.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sonicboom007:
what encoder are you using? I have #1 DVD ripper but the best I can get is 480x320 using coreplayer. Did you use that SUPER encoder linked above?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sonicboom007:
I can't seem to get very good playback at any of the settings mentioned above on my Diamond. The videos I rip at those settings are watchable, but still choppy.

What is funny is that when I play my .mp4's in WMP or from the Album they all seem to have the same amount of chop, regardless of whether its encoded at 640x480 res or 320x240 res, and regardless of the bitrate (I actually seem to get very slightly less frames dropped if I set the bitrate at 1000kbps as sompared to 500kdps).

I have ripped my videos with both #1 DVD Ripper and SUPER Converter.

The Super Converter videos seem to play smooth until there is alot of motion on the screen, at which point the frame rate drops to 2-3 fps! The videos I ripped with #1 DVD Ripper seem to play ok with random chop with motion on the screen having little effect on the chop.

I am using the latest version of SUPER - is there an earlier version that rips the videos to be more compatible with our Diamonds? What settings in SUPER are guys using to get your videos to play so smooth? The BMG video that was posted earlier in this thread plays very well in WMP, what settings in SUPER did you rip that in?

I HOPE THIS THREAD IS STILL GOING PLEASE HELP!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] trueg:
I seem to have good luck with MeGUI. I've been trying out the various x264 profiles (iPhone, iPod, Zune, etc..) but without a benchmark utility, it's difficult to know if there are performance differences because I don't know if there are dropped frames or anything. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iRiKi:
plz, before posting all should try this trailer http://rapidshare.de/files/41053549/RL_XQ_640x480_1500_128.avi.html

Use Core Player 1.2.5 with Qtv, High Quality:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sonicboom007:
I have found that 10 to 15 minute movie clips ripped with either #1 dvd ripper or SUPER converter in MPEG-4 at 720x480 1000kbps seem to play well in WMP and in album mode - it's smooth with just a little chop.

BUT - when I load a whole 2 hour movie at the same settings the video and audio seem to freeze for a second every 3 or 4 seconds for the first quarter or so of the movie. I don't understand why it would do this.

Im guessing it's a buffering problem - anyone have any ideas???

Maybe a regedit?

Any Video Converter

Hello. I'm using the SW Any Video Converter to convert video's (music) to my Diamond. It's free, and works.

The settings i'm using (after a lot of research) is:

Mp4 movie:

Video Size: 640*480

Bitrate: 768

Framerate: Auto

Audio Codec: AAC

Audio Bitrate: 192

Sample Rate: 48000

This works flawless in the build-in player.

But it seems to me that the Audio Bitrate is the part causing problems. If I choose a higher audio bitrate than 192, the video will start skipping.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iRiKi:
128 is way enough for cd-quality music, im sure you wont notice any differences with 96kbps on a mobile phone :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] diyasuki:
Hi guys here i'm using Core Player and my media info was

Frame Rate: 29.970

Audio: MPEG4 AAC Audio

Codec: LibFAAD LC, HE, PS AAC

Format: 48000 Hz Stereo

With this settings, files are playing awesome, i converted using TOTAL VIDEO CONVERTER, now all movies r playing excellently, with out dropping a single frame and these files are also playign in windows media player without any dropping
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] trueg:
Ya, you should never have a problem with videos encoded at a QVGA resolution (320x240). Playback of VGA content (640x480 - 4 times the resolution) is what we have been discussing here.

QVGA video is perfectly fine, takes up less space and should always play perfectly.

What I would like to be able to do, is download VGA XviD/DivX videos and be able to play them without conversion. In the current state of CorePlayer, it will play, but it drops anywhere from 10 to 30% of the video frames (choppy video). The Diamond/Touch Pro/Touch HD has the power to do it, but a lack of optimized video drivers prevents it from doing it. We can see this by the fact that VGA MP4 videos play near perfectly in Windows Media Player.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ryox:
Coreplayer sucks. I'am using Xvid4PSP. It convert almost all formats into .mp4 x264 video (which is accelerated in WMP) and aac audio. Just pickup "MP4 iPHONE or Touch" preset. You can even add subtitles. It works simply and fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomahak:
Hi guys,

this topic have been discussed 100 times, and it is known that the Daimond got a low performance for video playback. Believe me I already tried dozens of Encoders, also lot of other people too. Till now there is only one solution, which gives you the "best pictures in VGA quality AND also plays fluently" on you diamond. No other encoder will give you that.

Look for this encoder here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=467112

Instructions:

1. Download http://gm.mainframe.no/stuff/Encoder.rar

2. Unpack the RAR to a directory of your choosing (on your computer).

3. Run Encoder.exe

4. Select the videos you would like to encode and the output folder, hit "Start!". If you like you can tweak the options, but the pre-set options will produce good video for the four devices mentioned above.

5. Once finished encoding, transfer the encoded video to your device and use Album (or WMP) to view them.

Do not use Coreplayer and complain about performance! Coreplayer can not utilize hardware acceleration yet and is slow!

Again dont use the Coreplayer, only the Windows Media Player and the included Album Player support hardware acceleration. Maybe the Coreplayer 2.0 will this offer too.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr.187:
Dear All Respected Professionals,

My Samsung Note 8 SM-N950F Android 8.0 stopped booting all of a sudden. No software update, no modification, nothing. It was working perfectly, I restarted phone and it won't start again.

When I try to boot it stays stuck at boot logo (SAMSUNG logo) for around 5 minutes and then automatically restarts. It gets quite hot.

I can access via ADB while it stays in bootloop. I exported logcat. I'll upload if it may help.

I have around 2.2 GB free out of 64 GB internal storage.

Never rooted.

However, it seems like Internal Storage doesn't get mounted. I can’t access /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0

As much as I remember, I had "Allow OEM Unlock" enabled. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin in Download mode, but it fails.

I'm looking to

1. Revert phone to working state without formatting

2. If 1 is not possible, I want to at least make complete backup, something like nandroid to backup WhatsApp data and other stuff.

Note: I want to recover data from my phone. It has lots of important data. I don't want to simply format it.

Device: Samsung Note 8 SM-N950F

ROM: Stock Android 8.0

Never rooted

I can boot into Recover and Download mode.

This is my first post here. If any more details are needed please ask and I'll provide.

Kind people here please help me fix my only daily driver???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cheemak:
Trying following below steps..

1. First try to force restart device by pressing Volume down + Power key for 7 to 10 sec. It will fix system crash issues

2. Go to recovery mode and try to wife cache partition, ONLY WIPE CACHE PARTITION. DO NOT WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET.

3. Try to boot device in safe mode, Press and hold volume down + power button, When you see Samsung then release Power button but keep holding volume down button until home screen.

Let me know results...

Grab the ab arm64 version, wipe data dalvik cache and system, then flash the system partition with the GSI above, close avb and reboot.

Nice thing is there's no danger of hard bricking if you're only flashing the system partition.

Make a TWRP backup of your current ROM and go back and forth to compare, takes no more than 10 per ROM.

Think you're going to have to list all the steps you've done, but if fastboot reboot doesn't work, I don't think you flashed TWRP successfully.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
I've got an N975U1 (i.e., US unlocked N10+) on T-Mobile. Sometimes new firmware for that model is not released OTA by T-Mobile, so I flash the XAA version manually. But if I understand correctly, I lose some features that way (e.g., VoLTE and RCS).

But if I were to flash a new firmware version using that version's BL ,AP, and CP files, but with a TMO CSC file taken from a previous firmware version (when the new firmware hasn't yet been released with the TMO CSC), would that work? And would it give me the missing TMO features?

If the answers are yes, then also, if I flash a subsequent firmware version using HOME_CSC (to keep my settings etc.), would I still keep all the TMO features at that point?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
You only loose the built in video calling in the dialer. VoLTE and RCS should work just fine.. T-Mobile is rather friendly towards bring your own devices and allowing access to all the features the network offers. This is in contrast to AT&T that provisions things like VoLTE (and other features) to devices they sell via a whitelist of IMEI numbers.

That will not work. You can't mix and match pieces of previous firmware versions with current firmware versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
I just checked and the dialer does have a video-call icon. There's no setting anywhere for VolTE/HD-voice, so I'm not sure if it's enabled. I haven't tried RCS.

Ok, thanks. Just for future reference, is there any other method for changing the CSC in order to obtain carrier-specific features with the unlocked firmware?

EDIT: I just saw another thread about this question. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/csc-change-t3983769
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Sorry, was typing the reply on my phone and the auto complete chose the wrong word.

No toggle will be present in the settings menu for VoLTE as it is automatically enabled. If you place a call and your data stays on LTE then your good to go. RCS should be available if your using Google Messages.

Not that I know of outside of flashing the USERDATA and CSC for the carrier in question. At that point you might as well run the N975U firmware for the carrier. If your going to flash the CSC or USERDATA from T-Mobile make sure it's the same firmware version as what your trying to flash with the U1 firmware.

Yup, but the problem is that T-Mobile seems to lag in releasing new firmware, both for N975U and N975U1. That's why I've been flashing the N975U1 firmware manually.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henson25:
Hi

this is my first post here, so please go easy on me. I am an electronics engineer by trade but pretty old school stuff, although I am familiar with flashing microprocessor based systems. I'm not a complete fool.

I have a problem recovering a Tab 4 SM-T230. It is stuck on the initial page showing "Samsung Tab 4".

Only way to power down is removing the back and disconnecting the battery.

From there I can enter recovery mode but Master Reset doesn't cure it.

So I have Odin 3 installed and have the correct BL, AP, CP and CSC files ready to upload.

In device manager it is showing the tablet is connected and the drivers are okay.

The problem is, there is nothing showing in the ID:COM tabs in ODIN.

I've re-installed the drivers, unplugged/plugged, still can't get it to connect.

Any Suggestions? Am I going about this completely the wrong way?

I know it would probably make sense to just buy another tablet, but this one fits a modified holder used in a specific application, so replacing the tablet suddenly creates an engineering issue as well!

Many thanks in advance

Kevin
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidriven:
Try a different PC.

What version of Odin are you using? You need to use a version that was released around the same time the tablet was new to the market. Your tablet is from 2014 so you need to use Odin 3.09 or Odin 3.10.

I first unlocked bootloader, then installed twrp 3.4 through adb.

And I got a bit confused about wipe data and format data. I wasn't sure about the difference between the two, so I did both, I wiped everything (dalvik / art cache, cache, system, data, internal storage) in advanced wipe, and then formatted data with a 'yes'.

and then I copied the miui.eu rom 11.0.8 to the device and 'install'.

The device is running fine and i haven't noticed any problem yet, is why the did the correct way to flash eu rom? I also installed magisk after rebooting into system, in my magisk, force encryption is unchecked while avb2.0/dm verity is checked.
