just delete the entry for Image ID...but leave the paranthesis. they can be next to each other like: "" and it will run just fine. you can remove the icons from the other panels as well. i personally think the inoperable analog clock on the right side of the time panel is useless

is an app required? i have 2 xvid files on my sdcard and neither mvideoplayer or video player see them
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Mi|enko:
use encodehd and convert them to mp4.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dsjr2006:
Try "yxflash" from the market. It claims to be able to play WMV, DivX & Xvid... Haven't tried it myself though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InsightGoalie:
It's a $19.99 app that has to be purchased outside the market though... I don't like the way they're trying to conduct business.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] M9x3mos:
Try meridian from the market. Haven't tested xvid yet but seems to play things otherwise built in on my mytouch couldn't haven't gotten that far.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dsjr2006:
Yea. They're kinda shady since they call it free then charge you to use it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ssantos6981:
I'm guessing, if it does actually work, he doesn't want some rooted dirtbag downloading and refunding to add to the plethora of pirated apps. I haven't seen the app yet, but I figure if allows google checkout, it should be as safe as any other purchase via google checkout.

isn't there a samsung android phone with divx support builtin? I'm pretty sure I read that some where. Wonder if someone is working on some sort of port...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] artesea:
there are two android phones which play divx/xvid out of the box. one from samsung and the other from lg. getting the drivers/media player ported from either of these phones would be a big plus from me. i know i could convert media before hand, however i use my memory card as a "memory stick" which i bring in to work to watch on the PC during lunch. being able to play the same files on the phone when i'm on the bus/train would be so much easier.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thegoshem:
try doubletwist if you're on Windows/Mac... no linux version yet :(

it will convert them to play on android by just dragging them over to the device...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mirox3m:
I can confirm that yxflash works on my G1. I just download a divx movie (about 700 mb) and play it. Unfortunately the frame rate is about 15 f/s. Hope on Nexus One it will be much better.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] brotbuexe:
btw, they still have xmas, you can get 50% off while using coupon code "xmas".

Still too expensive for my opinion, but hey, they come from the apple universum where all have too much money. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] joners:
Now this post isnt going to be of much use because i couldnt find all the links i was after..... however

There were people requesting the samsung xvid/divx player be ported out back on the G1. Seems that one of XDA's members lbcoder has some decent incite on it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566591&highlight=divx

He posted

divx is just an implementation of iso mpeg4.

So...

to make it play you need to;

1) ensure that bitrate and resolution are low enough to be properly handled,

2) package it in a compatible container (mp4 works)

3) ensure that the AUDIO is encoded in a compatible manner (vorbis is great, but others also work, mp3, aac, etc.)

4) ensure that there is no crap in the file showing that it is divx because it simply doesn't know what divx *IS* -- make it read as mpeg4 -- this does NOT require reencoding the file, just using a SANE header.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] VinylJStar:
I thought $10 wasn't bad. It plays awesome on the N1. It takes me 10 minuted to download a Divx movie, but 30 mins to convert. Over the course of several months, I would save a ton of time converting movies. I can download directly to the SD card via browser and play with yxflash.

Yes, having to purchase outside the market is shady, but I have contacted them several times with issues and they resolved them within one day.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] krustytk:
Found the app via market at first glance i thought nah **** it because of the bad rating.. at second glance i actually took the time to read the comments, turns out most of the comments where bad/laggy playback, witch was partly due to Magic / Heros hardware, and the resizing requirements..

ive installed the trial, and it plays beautifully.. although sometimes i do get some lines across the screen, but they are hard to notice...

Price is still a bit high thou! :/ im gonna give it a month or two to see if a cheaper alternative shows up, and hopefully by that time Google will have opened up the market in Denmark.

Is anyone else having spotty 3G coverage where as the same sim is having proper 3G coverage with another device?

Please report back.

[Nexus One General] mark925:
I haven't noticed any difference here.
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
Did you compare it with another phone? How many bars of signal?
[Nexus One General] DarkLord7854:
Mine's getting the same 3G coverage my Cliq was
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
I've never had 3g problemo's...then again im on wifi most of the time
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
Thats the thing with smart phones, being on 3G most of time, you don't realize the 3G speeds.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
My 3g was solid when i went int town... ****ty at home but thats what wifi is for :)

personally i think if there is a problem its with tmobile's network... they just rolled out a new system and their service has never been "verizon" as it is... give it time children... i think everyone just likes to throw a fit about everything for the sake of kickin and screaming
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
haha i just checked the map around my house and there is like speckles of 3g all around my house but not directly over where my house would be... i get 3g in random parts of my house and edge upstairs in my room... pretty funny that the map of their reflects my situation so well

i cannot wait to get back to tempe, the whole phoenix metro area is one big purple blotch on the coverage map lol
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
I totally agree... but have a look:

http://www.twitpic.com/x3zm0

How can the same provider (T-mobile) have 3G in the G1 but Edge on the Nexus One?
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
Its quite possible though that this is a measure implemented by Google to keep the phone in low power EDGE mode when you are not actively using the data connection? That way the phone lasts a lot longer? Just guessing...
[Nexus One General] dsjr2006:
I think it's more of a T-Mobile issue than a N1 issue. I originally ordered it with a T-Mobile SIM/plan, but ended up having to use it with AT&T on EDGE since I couldn't get a signal at all indoors and it dropped down to GRPS when I was inside a restaurant in the middle of Downtown LA!
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
Did you see the image in the first post? Two phones side by side (both TMob... I am hoping) with one having 3 Bars (3G) and other having 4 bars (EDGE)
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
not to be a bastard, but how do you know theres not an ATT card in that nexus one? :p

DING DING DING! i read through a good portion of the google thread at the top and then skimmed the rest and thats what i was thinking may be happening... the guy was playing pandora on 3g with no problem, soon as he gets near it to play around it goes to edge? sounds to me like maybe a power saving mechanism... like the cpu it only uses the high end data rates when necessary, crafty if thats actually what its doing and it is working right... I shall run tests tomorrow when i go into town for dinner and such :)

personally though, the phone has been out on the streets for like 72 hours... bite your tongue for 10 days straight and if **** still doesnt fly by your book you have 4 days left on that RMA date... iphone release days anyone? att/apple about cried...
[Nexus One General] NordicZz:
Probably because the Nexus One can't use AT&T 3G network, just 2G.
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
I've been paying close attention to reception since I got my NOne yesterday, and so far it seems to change at exactly the same times my G1 would. Upstairs 3g is strong, downstairs it drops to EDGE - just like my G1.

The only difference I notice is the NOne does it much faster. :cool:
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
I have a mytouch, G1 and N1 all on tmob and I have 3G on all three all the time, must be certain areas, or larger markets maybe?
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
my point exactly... lol
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
True that. Still waiting for ma phone to be delivered :) Hope it is all well...
[Nexus One General] KiD0M4N:
Thats another possibility as well.

If you all remember, the 3GS used to 'reflect' the fact that it had dropped out of 3G a lot earlier than the 'iPhone 3G' and that lead ppl to believe that the 3GS has poor 3G reception.

Maybe it is a similar situation here...
[Nexus One General] firedup:
Anyone having this problem in the UK?
[Nexus One General] mattyboy247:
I am having the 3g problem... and it is pretty evident to me. I normally have pretty crappy service at home... 2 bars or less... but my G1 stayed 3g or it just didn't have service. My N1 doesn't keep 3g at all. I will run speed tests (been trying to figure out if Tmob actually did the 7.2 upgrade in my area) and will have my phone drop to edge in the middle of a test. So I don't believe its just to save energy.

I also have paid close attention to it driving around town. Areas that were full service 3g on my G1 were giving me 1 or 0 bars of 3g before switching to 3+bars of edge. Sometimes it can't make up its mind and will just keep switching back and forth. Of course, while its switching from edge to 3g, it always has to hit up gprs... Its really quite frustrating. I rooted my phone, so I am worried I am going to be screwed with a lemon. I just hope that they release a software fix.
[Nexus One General] stian230:
Wonder how it works on HSPA 7.2Mbps.?

Is it the same problem there?
[Nexus One General] vgrade:

[Nexus One General] darock159:
Is there a way to change how the logic of the radio module works?:confused:
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
my 3g has been exactly the same as it was on my mytouch 3G... In some areas here in NYC it drops to edge (the exact same areas it dropped to edge on MT3G) other places like my house have 3G and never dropped to edge.
[Nexus One General] AndroTMO:
So I did the *#*#4636#*#* thing and set the phone to WCDMA only. It seems to have solved the problem for now...

Unfortunately, I am on the outer edge of a 3G area, so the repercussions may be that I won't get calls/texts.

*sigh*

I would not mind so much if the EDGE worked on the device as well. It is like the phone cannot maintain a stable data stream.

EDGE would be great, just for being able to use the damn thing at home because AT&T can't seem to keep our DSL up and running.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
ok, i tried this and set it for wcdma only and i got a fairly steady 3g data stream but i am also on the edge of 3g in my area so i got 0 bars of phone signal...

as soon as i switched it to 2g only i got 2 bars of edge and then i set it back to wcdma preferred it went do to GPRS and gave me full bars...

now i set it back to 3g only and ran a speed test, the signal was weak again sometimes i was only having up and no down... one time i timed out with 999 ping, finally i saw an up and down and hit test and got my normal 3g speeds but it faded fast...

then i set it to edge only and the test ran everytime, no timeouts, but obviously it was slow and i had phone bars...

i wasnt going to bother doing it on gprs cuz i would prolly fall asleep, but i had full bars and steady up and down with gprs....

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

my verdict is that the phone throttles signals trying to give you the best mix of data and phone signal (and battery life?)... so in the end its either a software issue (if you want it on 3g all the time) or its tmobiles spotty 3g network, you decide but i dont see how it could possibly be the phone...

edit, take note that the original picture the g1 has 3g with 3 bars and the n1 has edge with 4 bars... the n1 is throttled down?
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
I just had a call come in to my tmo number, that didn't ring my phone, but it did roll over to my google number and ring (which eventually goes to voicemail) and it still didn't ring my cell phone, but did ring my desk phone (I have it set to go to both on the week days).

my 3g speeds are much slower on my N1 vs my G1. I'm hoping tmo sorts out these network problems fast.
[Nexus One General] holysmokesbatty:
What he's trying to say is that if the N1 had an AT&T SIM in it, it would explain why the N1 is getting ONLY EDGE and not getting 3g next to the G1 with a T-Mobile SIM...
[Nexus One General] tripplejg:
Just wanted to say I got mine this morning and haven't lost 3g all day. Reception seems about identical to my g1. In the minneapolis suberbs.
[Nexus One General] lessthanjoey:
The problem is the phone uses a ton of battery on Cell Standby as a result of this. If I force either 2G or 3G that battery usage goes way down.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
Well, I've just noticed my phone flap's between UTMS and HSDPA once every 1-2 sec's, I think this is what is impacting my 3G speeds. I don't get kicked over to Edge, but it seems to change 3G technologies.
[Nexus One General] justclimb:
NEXUS ONE NETWORK PROBLEM HERE.

I´m using HDSPA network from Vodafone and I´d noticed after just TWO days of normal use of my Nexus that everytime I´d RECEIVED a call my phone´s connection slows down to GPRS speeds...

I have tested it three times now...and three out of three the connection SLOWS DOWN dramatically.

Temporarly fix: Turn Plane mode on and off to reset connections.

PLEASE: I need a DEFINITIVE FIX for this...

Thanks :cool:

PD: This reminds me Qtek´s Sense Rom on my ex-Magic...
[Nexus One General] habibas:
i am living i Saudi Arabia i have never seen my nexus on edge it is all the time on 3g with 2 to 4 bars

the problem is from t mobile not the device i have two carrier sim both are working great the other operator has full 3g all the time
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
They announced yesterday(?) or the day before that it is a combo of software and network, and that they will release a fix for the software in the next couple weeks.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Not quite, but close. Google all but admitted that there was a software issue. But they also said that for people that live at the edge of a 3G/Edge location, THEN it could also be a network related issue. Obviously they threw that statement in to avoid people complaining because the OTA won't fix their issue.

For example, sitting on my couch, my G1 sits on 3G. My N1 occasionally flops to Edge. After the OTA fix, I shouldn't have that issue anymore, as my symptoms are completely software related... not network related.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yeah, like I said, they said it was a software issue and a network issue, and they were releasing a fix for the software in the next couple weeks.

It should fix your N1 flipping like that, in your case. But the guy on the edge of town with 1 bar of 3G is still going to have issues because that is network.
[Nexus One General] scrappyabs2:
But the guy on the edge of town, wouldn't he have experienced the same issue with a non-N1 phone? Why is he all of a sudden having problems now that he has an N1?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
It is two fold, it is a software issue and a network issue. The guy on the edge of town isn't going to get better 3G coverage from the software patch. The software patch is going to fix the problem of the phone switching off 3G even though there is acceptable coverage due to a glitch.

To say it another way:

Software problem(that will be fixed): The N1 decides to switch off 3G, this is getting fixed.

Network problem: There isn't large enough 3G coverage from T-Mobile in all places. (I will say, personally, where they do have it, it is very good, but they don't have it enough places)
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
I am not so sure on the coverage being a real primary issue. I am of the belief that this is google passing the buck to a certain extent. There are far more G1s out on the T-Mo network and this complaint has not come up. Further there are multiple instances where G1 gets solid 3G where the Nexus does not. In my personal case I can physically see the T-Mo tower from the window of my APT and the nexus flips where the G1 is solid. I will grant I am on the 16th floor and the tower is a good bit away but coverage can't be much better than my case.

I can live with it being a partial software problem and partially a weaker radio implementation; I just do not buy the coverage reason. It is a matter of perspective. In a void you could blame either the radio implementation or the coverage. Either is a valid discriminator. But when you have the G1 as a base line for comparison it falls squarely on the N1 for both software and weaker radio.

If they can just stop the flip flop in software I will be content.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Their statement wasn't trying to cast "the problem" as partially software and partially hardware (or reception) deficiencies.

What they are simply saying is that there was a software problem that was causing a particular issue with 3G in a way that many customers very easily identified and reported. That issue is getting fixed.

The problem is, along the way, everyone who had any kind of disappointing 3G experience of any sort saw those reports and then simply jumped on that bandwagon and said "Me Too". But many of those tag-alongs were simply people experiencing poor 3G coverage and they weren't suffering from this software problem at all. They didn't understand the real problem and so they never properly identified if they are experiencing the original issue and yet they are still tying their hopes to any statement that might be made about the resolution of the first problem. Those people are not going to be helped (much if at all) by this software fix, and Google/HTC wanted to warn them so that they didn't start getting their hopes up waiting for the OTA fix and then get really angry after the OTA when their problems weren't addressed. (Note, they probably will complain anyway, but at least they tried to warn them.)

It may be that the N1 has the world's best kickass cell radio. It may be that the N1 couldn't pick up a cell signal in a factory of cell towers. When it has a problem in its software that so often interferes with locking on to a 3G signal - independently of how strong that signal is - then we cannot yet make any true comparisons about how good its receiver is, and any individual problem with 3G is hard to judge as either "caused by this software problem" or "caused by some other factor such as poor coverage in the area". Come the day of the OTA - the "software problem" cases will be sorted out from any "hardware problem cases" and any "just simply had bad 3G in their area" poor souls - and then we can try the side-by-side comparisons to get an idea of how good the hardware is.

And, if you really are experiencing problems with a cell tower out the window then you are likely one of the ones actually suffering from the software problem and it is very likely you will see enormous improvement when you get the OTA. To be safe, time will tell, but it's such a clear case for you so cross your fingers...
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Given the preponderance of evidence with multiple photos and even more accounts showing G1s with solid 3g and the N1 without there was no need for the last sentence. None what so ever. If you had/have crappy 3G it happens and it won't go away. This was not put in there to address an issue but to make the software issue not be the only thing. There was no need for spin. "There is a problem and we are fixing it" would have sufficed.

EDIT: And don't get me wrong, I love the N1 and when I am at my APT I lock it to 3G only and am happy as a clam. There is a problem though and the 3g coverage or lack thereof has nothing to do with it. If it did this would have been a problem with the G1.
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
That statement was *NOT* addressed to your situation, or to anyone who did the side by side comparisons. Those who did see (and verify) those specific symptoms are having a real problem and it will be addressed by the software patch and no part of their statement was meant to take away from that.

The problem is that there are other people out there who aren't so network savvy and who saw any number of 3G problems and heard that the N1 had some issue with 3G and so they started reporting their somewhat mundane experiences as "instances of this problem". *THOSE* people, and not you, are the ones that the last sentence is addressed to.

In other words, they fixed a real problem. That real problem affected a lot of us and we will be happy with it. *BUT*, the fix isn't a magic "cures every 3G problem that anyone ever had - even if they thought it was an instance of this problem" and so they need to warn people that "you may not be helped if you were simply experiencing normal everyday 3G problems" because some people (again, other people, not *you*) never really knew how to tell if this was their problem or not.

Why are you taking that disclaimer so personally? It's not addressed to your situation.
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
I am not taking it personally. I am saying that 3G coverage is not a part of the problem but instead spin doctoring to shift part of the blame elsewhere.

You have your opinion on the statement and I have mine. Enjoy your N1.
[Nexus One General] Volker1:
I'm not on T-mo US, so I can't comment on that. Could very well be a bug in their towers.

But putting two cell phones side-by-side is going to cause severe interference. This is more a test of shielding rather than 3G reception.
[Nexus One General] sennister:
So far mine is the same in most areas. I get slightly better coverage in our data center than my G1 but they were both on the Edge.
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
Mine constantly switches between EDGE and 3G even though both have full bars. I'm barely moving the thing and the reception is jumping all over. Suppose maybe the antenna broke and I should send it back?
