Will do. Because something really ****y happened. On the slow charging via computer... My phone just aint charging. It DETECTS the charge and it says that its charging, but it just consumes more power than it gets from the USB. I dont think i ever seen this happen in all my previous phones.

As for google/samsung, i dont use them to begin with. I never made an account with samsung and i never logged in to google with my google account.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Use a Samsung 25w brick and the cable that comes with it for charging.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
Haha. I wouldn't put it past samsung to give me the ****tiest charging cable, but im still wondering if this is normal behaviour.

IN CASE that i had a virus, reinstalling the app that i suspect could be infected (googleplayservices) would remove the virus, or not?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Factory reset if you suspect a virus. Don't play around with an infected Android.

Be more careful going forward.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
I will, i just want to make sure i know whats going on for the future for troubleshooting, that's why i was asking about good phone anti virus or ways to know if i removed it.

Battery consumption went down after i switched a setting that "automated" battery use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Antivirus is not very useful. A scan with Malwarebytes can spot rogue software sometimes without impacting performance.

Best defense is be very careful what you install, and to a lesser extent download.

Use Brave browser. Be aware of how your phone is behaving and find the cause of any abnormal behavior. Most times it a 3rd party app or settings causing it.

If malware is suspected and it takes more then an hour or two to completely eliminate it, factory reset. Go full nuke.

Reset your Google password after the reset... and don't repeat the mistake that caused it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
Trust me i learn from my mistakes. Thankfuly i do use brave browser, but it didn't warn me of anything weird. I didn't know there was a malware bytes for phone but im gonna look into it. It seems that my decision to never log in with anything important into the phone wasn't a bad idea after all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
It may not be malware at all. It's a good idea to check the download folder daily for any file you didn't download or anything that looks amiss. Better to delete than be sorry. Open files in the download folder before adding to database including jpegs.

One scripted jpeg will change the way you think of malware. Had one on XP Pro and the latest on Android, the latter did limited damage to files in the download folder when opened. Deleting it stopped its reign of terror🤣

Observation ie cause and effect can help you pick off these little buggers. Don't count on them being detected. They're rare but out there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 11913111:
So the download folder kinda works as a safety box? IDK then. The battery drain was the only clue i had and now that its fixed im just curious about how one can be sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Well if it can't breach the folder... but if you put in a folder with a lot of loose files it would cause a lot of damage. This particular one didn't damage any folders or their files that were in the download folder. Not very damaging if caught promptly otherwise they could be little nightmares that be hard to track down.

Samsung's are notorious for being battery hogs if not optimized, no malware needed🤣

Generally I look for other odd behaviors than just excessive battery consumption. Some apk(s) is using that power to do some task... you need to try and ID it then stop it. I have had very little trouble with malware on Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romabah:
Actually, people telling you off arent completely right. GP services can cause battery drain. You rooted ?

if not go see cpu load or at least which frequencies are used. If all apps are closed ( as in swiped away by you frequency should be the lowest. If it jumps it can point to a problem.

Still, in summary you wont be able to help any GP services battery drain issues if you are not rooted. If yes, you can identify the service or task that keeps giving you problems and just kill it. Most of the time it wont have usability killing effects ( most...)
[XPERIA X1 General] madzo2008:
Hi,

Got my Xperia X1 the other day, I have got Coreplayer Mobile as well as the WMP on the phone. I have copied the videos I took with my Nokia N95 to the memory card Ive got in the Xperia.

However when it comes to playing them WMP will play them but it stutters alot with the sound being ahead of the video. In coreplayer there is no video only sound.

Any of you guys got any suggestions to get the video playing smoothly. The videos are .mp4.

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] sthoeft:
Try to set in Videosettings QTv Display, here I get a picture and it works ok, not the promissed 30 fps but arount 20 fps with a HDTV Movie.
[XPERIA X1 General] madzo2008:
I tried that. I changed to the DirectDraw option and it plays the James Bond Trailer no problem but the videos from my Nokia N95 still stutter alot
[XPERIA X1 General] sthoeft:
Then I don't have any more ideas. Perhaps it'll help trying TCMP instead of Coreplayer?!
[XPERIA X1 General] veloaudio:
Found this on Coreplayers website:

Is anyone running Coreplayer? Is there anything better?
[XPERIA X1 General] on8a:
I've tried to find a resolution/bitrate which gives me smooth video without stuttering and dropouts. I've tested on CorePlayer with DivX and native mp4 codecs.

With a resolution of 400x240, 25fps, 1100kBit/s I get a picture without dropouts and a benchmark around 105%.

If I go higher in resolution I start getting dropouts.

I've set the CorePlayer to Microdrive mode and doubled the size of the buffer to increase the speed when reading from the memory card.

I've tried to copy the clip to the phone memory, but with the above settings I see no difference.

My conclusion is that if you want a smooth picture, don't go above the mentioned resolution. It won't give you that crisp picture, but I get more annoyed when the film is stuttering than getting a HD resolution on a 3" display.

I have no problem seeing mp4 on the CorePlayer though. But if I uncheck the "TyTN II driver mode" in QTv Display settings, I get only sound, no picture, despite the MSM7200 chipset :confused:. Don't know if the Nokia's format differs from the one I have used (Cucusoft Ultimate DVD).

Is there anyone else who manages getting a higher picture quality without any dropped frames?
[XPERIA X1 General] fuzzmo:
Got this from the Coreplayer forums:

'We are on the verge of the v1.3 bug fix release that addresses many of the current issues including those diamond users running WM 6.1...... however it does not address the QTV issues since there is nothing we can control there other then to express our dismay to both HTC and Qualcomm for not opening up the GPU.

Hey... we've been here before.... lets hope for a more open solution soon enough.'

I wonder what SE's position is on this? Apparently it's meant to have a decent GPU but what's the use if we can't use it? I know one or two people here have contacts with SE - anybody wish to find out?
[XPERIA X1 General] Pyrojester:
Praying for hardware supported video playback...
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
but they said that X1 uses ATI GPU not Qualcomm!

Another lies from SE? :confused::mad:
[XPERIA X1 General] andyboo:
Hey guys, i know this is abit off topic, but has any of you guys had the problem were you install core player, then play a video, and then you exit and go back into it and you the the message "cannot validate the serial number/user ID"? i have uninstalled and reinstalled heaps of times, tried different serial numbers, but it happens all the time use it once, and then the message comes up when you go back into it.
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Why do you have multiple serial numbers?

Surely it's one Serial per IMEI?
[XPERIA X1 General] smaberg:
im running coreplayer latest version, and i'm playing divX files direct from my coputr, no downsample full reselution, and with 30fps usibg qtv, it's awsome!
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
for real ? 640x480 24FPS at 800kbs is really laggy for me when playing in CorePlayer using QTV Video Output.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
The ATI graphics chip is a part of the qualcomm chipset.
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
Says who, I haven't seen any info about it, any links please.

Of course the qualcomm chip has indeed 3D hardware acceleration but I don't know if it is ATI.
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
unbelieveable how unprofessional are they! 1st the RAM debate, and now this; not to mention that bad launching and availability.
[XPERIA X1 General] Alex Atkin UK:
It is rather disappointing. Even the fish panel is hardly super smooth, leading me to wonder if even that uses the GPU acceleration.

I really do hope SE allow and encourage developers to tap the GPU of the X1 otherwise its little better than all the other WM phones.

I have hope that someone with a reputation like SE will see the sense supporting the developers. The "write something for the panel" is not good enough. The radio is a panel and as the panel is like the home screen, anything on it is turned off when I navigate away from it including the radio.

I really do hope they do not turn out to be as bad as networks like T-Mobile which can't be bothered to support HTC rebranded phones even if its got their name stuck on them.
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
after using it for 3 days it is now clear that the panels just use low res screenshots and no live data. They dont even update them, i live in germany and when accessing panels the screenshot says New York etc until it finally updates.

So for the panels just being low res screenshots (that must be only some KBs per panel) the performance is horrible and laggy. Cant believe they use any form of hardware acceleration for that either.
[XPERIA X1 General] VaThInK:
If the video is encoded in H.264 it's going to be lagging full on. Half of the frame will get dropped. Playing 720x400 24FPS at 1Mbps encoded with XviD on the other hand is smooth and not a single frame is dropped. I've tested this with TP.
[XPERIA X1 General] imacken:
Does anyone know how to change the default streaming video player to Coreplayer?

It's very annoying when browsing and the Streaming Player kicks in rather than Coreplayer. I've associated 3gp, mpeg4, etc. with CP but doesn't seem to make any difference.
[XPERIA X1 General] tony1985:
what is qtv?
[XPERIA X1 General] on8a:
It is an intergration of ATI Imageon chipset. The A-verison of MSM7200 is a 65nm chip.

MSM7200 is UMTS and MSM7500 is CDMA.
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
that's clearing some things, now if only we can know the real total RAM it has...
[XPERIA X1 General] wingnutLP:
can anyone suggest some current optimal encoding settings to get smooth video playback in either core player or WMP?

Everything I do without resorting to horrible compression or very small resolution is very stuttery :(

Is MP4 via WMP the best bet rather than avi and core player?
[XPERIA X1 General] XavierGr:
Thank you very much, the MSM7200A pdf that I've read didn't mention Imageon at all. That clears some bits about hardware acceleration.
[XPERIA X1 General] Magger:
Might aswell ask it here;

Anyone know where I can download Coreplayer Mobile for free?
[XPERIA X1 General] toxical:
THIS IS NOT A PIRACY/WAREZ FORUM! Coreplayer is not free software.
[XPERIA X1 General] Magger:
Afaik XDA isnt affiliated with any company or whatsoever so I figured it couldnt do any harm to talk about it, but if those are the rules, fine.
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Uh, isn't CorePlayer originated from TCPMP?
[XPERIA X1 General] sthoeft:
Yes but they differ a bit. On my X1 there Coreplayer is faster than TCPMP, but maybe it is a settings thing.
[XPERIA X1 General] VaThInK:
Do you have X1? If you do, just check out the device information under settings. If I remember correctly, it was showing 256MB in there.

[Android TV General] thungyot:
Hey everyone! I bought an Onn. Streaming Box at Walmart a couple of days ago, intending to run Torque Pro on my car's preexisting Backup Screen w/ a Bluetooth OBD2 dongle (a tiny $25 self-contained Android box seemed to make a lot of sense for that application). I sideloaded the Torque apk onto the box and used a remote app w/ mouse cursor to set up the layout, but when I went to finally pair the OBD2 dongle, it wouldn't pick it up. Since the screen just says "Accessories", I'm guessing you can only pair things like headphones, controllers, keyboards, etc.

I also tried sideloading "Bluetooth Direct", and forcibly connecting to my phone's Bluetooth address (just to test), and it couldn't connect (it seems like that app doesn't work for a lot of people though).

Is there any way around this?

I'm waiting for a powered OTG cable to be delivered today, so I can root and hopefully figure something out that way. It seems weird if it's really a limitation built into the OS, since regular android is buried underneath there somewhere, and it isn't like the box has some special Bluetooth hardware that limits it to certain devices.

If all else fails, maybe I could just get an OBD2 to USB cord and plug into an OTG, but idk if that would work either (it should on other Android devices).

And for anyone wondering, yes, the Android TV UI optimized for giant 4k TV's does not work well on a 5" 480p HDMI -> RCA screen, LOL.
[Android TV General] thungyot:
Figured this out if anybody wants to do something similar, I just sideloaded the app "Bluetooth Scanner - Bluetooth finder - pairing" (com.pzolee.bluetoothscanner), and was able to pair it right away. I am running LineageOS and rooted with Magisk, but I'd think this should work on stock too.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] strianugraha:
Hello fellas.

I just bought SO-02K ntt docomo version, but there are lot of bloatware (japanese providers app) can't be removed. Is it possible to get rid off them all without root?

Is it safe to flash it with global ROM/non-japan ROM?

Many great thanks.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] 4qx:
ADB AppControl or MobyDroid.

Other than that there's a rootless debloating solution for XZ1C, but it appears to be for G8441 models only... wouldn't try it on SO-02K, not without asking in the thread if that's safe anyway. I would also guess it requires an unlocked bootloader, which tends to be a problem for SO-02K models. They often come with a hardlocked bootloader to open which the only solutions known to me are paid, e.g. this $30 method. If you can sort that part out, there are decent debloated custom ROMs compatible with SO-02K such as HavocOS or ported LineageOS, which don't require root. Users have had success flashing them.

From what I read, it just won't work.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Phil_123:
From some searching, it seems that the Hermes uses a magnetic sensor to sense the keyboard being slided out, rotating the screen to the right by 90 degrees.

If there is room inside the Hermes, is it possible to put a super tiny mercury switch or accelerometer or something, positioned/configured to trigger the sensor when the Hermes is held rotated to the left by 90 degrees?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pmedinua:
I guess you better buy a device with a built in sensor.

I cant imagine putting a tiny mercury (or similar) "sensor" inside my hermes with the risk of leaking inside.

[Windows RT Development and Hacking] tonysr27:
Hey! Sorry for the late reply. I can try to help, please DM me. Fair warning though, it can be somewhat of a pain to debug over text, but we'll give it a shot~
[Windows RT Development and Hacking] towardsdawn:
Thanks so much for the lovely tutorial! For anyone looking to do this here's a full guide from beginning to end along with tips to avoid problems I ran into:

Follow tonysr27's guide to factory reset the device and install AWSPowershell

This link is a guide to how to factory reset the device. Make sure to use an old USB 2.0 stick, not USB 3.0

An updated link to the signing tool is available here. Only the unfixed original version worked for me, spamming the sign button only took me 5 minutes.

make sure there are no spaces or numbers in the powershell module folder name, it won't load correctly if there is

Set up an AWS account: link

Follow tonysr27's guide above (first post) for creating a key-pair, connecting to RDP, and starting/stopping instances using powershell:

There is an option to set up IAM without organizations, I did that one, it still lets you create IAM users

Download private key as PEM format so you can decrypt password later without having to install Putty to convert PPK to PEM

When creating credentials with cat don't try to paste into the terminal, it'll put a symbol into the file which will give you a headache later on when you try to run AWSPowershell commands and it fails with "specified value has invalid control characters"...

I suggest using t3a.small instead of t2.micro, it gives you 2gb of RAM which is the minimum for Windows Server 2022, makes it run much better. Also comes with enhanced network speeds, though that didn't make too much of a difference when I tested it vs t2.small. It does cost more though.

If your computer has a dynamic IP then for port 3389 security group you'll have to set it to "any"

I suggest enabling hibernation, you can't do this after launching the instance, only now: link

Plaintext password in the powershell script needs to escape any special characters such as $, ', ": see this link for details

If using hibernation, start script should include Start-Sleep -s 30 after instance state is set to running - I was running into problems where the RDP failed even though instance state was running after hibernation.

Stop script should include -Hibernate $true if using hibernation: link

Enable audio services using services.msc: link

I tried installing Amazon Linux 2 and XRDP into Mate - RAM usage was a lot lower but I wouldn't recommend it because audio playback with pulseaudio is super stuttery on Youtube. I couldn't get XRDP over Xubuntu or Arch to work either. I think RDP over Windows has somewhat laggy video because of RDP's limitations: see this link. This link suggests trying NoMachine, I haven't tried it yet.

I do like Amazon's Instance Scheduler for automatically starting and stopping the instance, a good guide is here. It can also handle hibernation with the hibernate boolean field, though make sure to set kms:CreateGrant permission if you do so. Also, override_status set to 'stopped' will only stop the instance once, it won't do it again once manually started unless enforced is set to 'true'.
