[Galaxy S I9000 General] Simpler:
Hi all,

I am still on original firmware JF3 but from what I've understood the problem persists even with latest firmware :

FLAC tags are not displayed on the stock audio player.

Some would suggest to switch to an alternative audio player but I like this one quite a lot, espacially the drawer function on the lock screen to control the player without having to unlock the screen.

Has anyone heard of a way to correct this? This is big trouble for me as all my music is on this format. On my former music player Samsung YP-Q1, it had also taken several formwares to display FLAC tags correctly but I expected Smsung to handle that from the start with such a top rated smartphone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Simpler:
Anyone interested

Back on the subject, no news?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hanzi54:
agree this one of the (minor) critics I have, its annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Will.1:
I have a lot of FLAC files as well and it's 50/50, some work perfectly with the tag, others don't. I'll have to take a look, i think it has to do with the tag version
[Galaxy S I9000 General] flof:
Did you find a pattern? Is it ID3 tags vs. FLAC tags? If so, which version of ID3 works?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ezechiel1917:
I've tried many different apps and tag types, but never got them working in FLACs on my stock (JF5) Galaxy S. :( I'm still hoping there is a way to get them working or that some new fw fixes this.

If someone knows how to get tags working for FLACs please share it with us...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KLoNe1:
Anyone looking into this at all? It's exremely annoying indeed!

I use Tag&Rename for my taggin. I have tried lots of music apps and a number of firmware updates... nothing has worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ferhatcan:
Did you try another software? try mediamonkey for instance. If it does not work maybe you can use mediamonkey for using folders instead of tags. (genre by genre or artist by artist or both? )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Simpler:
This is a workaround but tags allow alternative sorting by gender which is what I miss.

The stock firmware already uses the folders by default as it doesn't recognize the tags, not exactly the same thing you say of course because here it does it only with one folder depth.

hello to all

i have cooked a rom with 23673 build with manila 2015 sometimes i had this graphical problem i dont know what provoque this problem...;please see the screenshot below

will anyone please help if u have any idea about this problem...and i also i have enountered this problem with 23569 build and my manila is cfc compressed

thanks to all:
[Windows Mobile] miniterror:
i think its because of position fix

if you look at the top and lower bar it arent affected by the strange affect

not sure asi dont use builds with startmenu at the bottom but could it be positionfix is a manilla file and there fore also needs to be cfc'd?

just a wild guess though;)
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
i did not think so... i did not use position fix here is the new screenshot once again i have this problem ..;i have this problem with com 3 build maybe i used gwes.exe,gwes.040c.ex and commctrl.dll from 23563 build for bold font issue with 23680 build...may be this one provoque the problem

This time it happens with Manila 2018
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
That definitely looks like an OpenGL driver problem. Make sure you're not overwriting the stock GL drivers with third party drivers, such as chainfire's or any "other" drivers...
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Well there is only a way to know it...cook a rom with original gwes.exe and see if it works.

Do you know of Cloudyfa bold font fix right?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705334

Maybe using his files should solve your problem.
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
thanks for the reply bro ...i cooked with Neo drivers 2010 and i deleted the old open vg drivers from oem drivers....
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
thanks for the reply//

it happens suddenly when i wake my device with my power button;..cloudy fix has gwes.exe.0409 like mine is french so why i used from 23563 build..
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
Ahhh!!! Remove NeoDrivers and watch manila work properly :P
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
ok thanks NRG will try........but is it any other video drivers for xperia or Stock drivers are good because i never cooked with stock video drivers..

thanks once again
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
Yes u r right NRG with stock drivers it works well...No graphical problem ..But without third party drivers in Xperia with sense 2.5 :eek:...ok will try with topaz open vg and d3dm from?????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Meza1:
Just got my Galaxy S yesterday, but had big problems with the Samsung apps right out of the box.

The main launcher would repeatedly lock up, it was totally unusable. After being frozen for a few minutes I would be able to kill twlauncher process, then it would start up again and run for a few seconds before freezing. I managed to download LauncherPro from the market place to replace it, which is much better.

However, the calendar is causing me grief now. It takes a long time to load, and is not particularly responsive, but the big issue is the battery usage.

1 hour 40 since unplugging and I'm down to 50% battery left (from a full overnight charge) - calendar is responsible for 17% of this(!) with 47 minutes of CPU usage. What is going on?!

Any advice on how to either fix this, or blitz the Samsung calendar app and use the standard google one?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Hi Meza1,

First thing to be aware of is that it takes about 5-7 days before the battery starts to settle down, the first 2 days are a little scary.

Your launcher locking up doesnt sound normal, so I'd keep an eye on that.

As for calendar, I've not noticed it being an issue. The usual battery hogs are when apps are set to high frequency updates. So recently I installed twitter on a 15min update and it took my battery from 2-3days standby down to 6hours!

You could reset your phone to factory and start again and if its still locking up you might want to get it exchanged. We all suffer lag of a few seconds here and there which we hope will be fixed, but not to the level you've just reported.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Billus:
Root your phone and install "AutoKiller". Great app, it automatically cleans out your ram and uneeded background applications. Phone runs smoothly with no lag. I use "LauncherPro" instead of "TouchWiz".

My GPS also fixes almost instantly, less than 30 secs in most cases. This is in both Google Maps and Co-Pilot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Geryatrix:
I really think that it would be unwise to root the phone at this stage, because it would appear to have problems that are not seen on most SGS's and therefore the chances are that the phone needs to be returned.

This would not be possible if "rooted".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Meza1:
Thanks for the responses. I think I'll try one of the lag-fix ROMs that are being mentioned and see how it goes. Is there a way to back up my apps and settings before doing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
I would agree with Geryatrix and hold off rooting or upgrading your phone just yet, in case you need to return it.

My HD2 went suddenly dead (no recognizing SIM card, no bootloader mode, etc). What should I do? Buy a new HD2 or are there good replacements for the HD2. Advice much appreciated!!

Miraculous Revival

After several hard resets, several flashes of stock ROM and reformatting the SD card, the HD2 suddenly came back to live again and even recognized my SIM card again. Don't know what happened, only thing a know is that the battery was becoming very hot and was draining like hell. So, in order to try to avoid another event of a dead HD2 I ordered a new battery.

Thanks for time and reading.

Unable to record audio, I'm using fresh's latest. Anyone Else have this issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I believe in Fresh if you want to use any voice applications you need to go and reinstall the voice search APK.

It can be found on the SD card under fresh-removed-apks/VoiceSearch
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
and the reason flipz took this out was it breaks something?

edit: when I try installing the voicesearch.apk from fresh-removed-apks it says application not installed -_-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
It installed fine for me. Flipz took it out he said because he kept hitting it on accident and didn't use it so moved it to the removed apps.

I just used astro went to the folder and told it to install all went well and now my voice services work again. (i sometimes use the voice reply to texts)

what are you using to try to install it?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishick:
hello there, i just bought an X1 and was trying to find the best mp3 player. the ones i found on the phone were very slow. i have an 8 gb card with 1400 songs on it.

i need a player that doesn't have a delay between changing the songs and also a search function.

i found winamp for WM; i runs smoothly but i couldn't find the jump button.

any ideas ?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] px1ilanmy:
there are plenty...pocket player, imulator, s2p, lcg jukebox...

imo, pocket player is better choice, but it is not free
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
I also recommend Pocket Player by Conduits. Not free but the best player I have seen so far.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishick:
thanks man, i found pocket player, it's nice, but it's so slow :(. i'm having so many problems with this thingy, i can't even find the gps menu in settings
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
I dont consider Pocket Player slow. Its not lightning fast, ok. But slow?

Concerning gps setting: You will find them under settings\system\external gps
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
Another vote for Conduits Pocket Player. Not slow at all, slides and performs as expected. I had been a satisfied user for many years and had it running on all of my WM devices with no issues, and we are talking a far less spec-ed ones than Xperia. The best part for me is that it sends music over the bluetooth to a mono headset and with tweaks can be set up as a default media player for Voice Command, which means it gets controlled through bluetooth as well. Can't beat that.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
With Pocket Player you can set up the interval between songs, even fading of one song into another.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
I wonder if slowness is caused by your card read rates...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishick:
yeah, my card is probably slow, but this doesn't change the fact that pocket player has a not so nice search function. after you find the desired track, it replaces the playlist and you have to go back each and every time.

have you tried that winamp version for WM ? if i could find the "jump" button. it really looks like winamp :D and it's veeeery fast.

ps: i'm using the same micro sd on an n95 and it works like a charm, i'll try and update the x1 to 6.5; if i'm not satisfied with the results, i'll swap it for an n97.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
It's a question of configuration. In advanced settings you can choose whether to generally replace the current playlist or to enqueue an opened file. What's more it is important to choose the correct method. If you want to replace the current playlist you choose open\open file but if you'd like to enqueue you have to use open\add file. It's the same in the library. When you press on an album, artist or track in the list a menu pops up and you can choose between play (replaces current playlist) or enqueue. In the library there are settings too. There you can once again choose between different ways the program interprets gestures/ actions. So all in all what you describe is a mere question of configuration and using the correct method :-)

i've given up. i tried saving a playlist and it freezed my phone (twice). i don't care anymore.

now...this is WINDOWS mobile, right? on my p990 i had an emulator for old nintendo games (mortal kombat, street fighter etc); is there such thing?

what other games do you know? i saw a video, someone was playing tony hawk, i'm looking for something similar with good graphics and interesting gameplay, perhaps a football game, pool, bowling...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
Perhaps... the problem is with your device.... I can't say I ever had any problems of any kind running Pocket Player, saving playlists, selecting songs, scrolling through lists etc, and I used it on quite a few WM devices so far. Can't even say the performance was ever affected by the ROM or specifications. It runs equally well on 200Mhz devices and 620Mhz devices, with 64Mb RAM and 256Mb. It even runs perfectly well on LG KS20 and that little bugger has many problems. I have it on my Xperia, needless to say.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
FYI: I realise that you asked for a new media player, but I thought it was worth mentioning that both the X1s built-in meda players have a highly elegant quick search as you type feature.... just start typing..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishick:
if you have more than 1 song that starts with "mar" for example, it will only show you the first one

what's so elegant if it doesn't satisfy my needs? btw, where's the equalizer on these so sweet and neat "media" players? even with the players that have equalizer, the sound sucks in my car/headsets comparing to nokia.

i'm sorry to say this, i love ericsson, but i regret buying xperia.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
Look it is clearly visible that you don't now how to use Pocket Player. You say: "This does not work, that is not possible". But everything you mentioned so far is possible with Pocket Player as long as you know how to use it.

Concerning your problem with playlists I cant confirm that the Xperia crashes when saving a playlist. Have you tried saving in another format?

If you don't like Pocket Player there are other solutions. Pocket Music by Pocketmind for example or Mortplayer. Both come with an equaliser but for me Pocket Player is by far the best program available.

Search also for the keyword "power sms" as this is another solution. Maybe there is even more software available here at XDA. Generally everything is possible with Windows Mobile because there is software for almost any function you can imagine. So please either start using your brain or stop annoying us with your false statements. I don't care if you believe Xperia X1 is crap and N97 is better but stop claiming things that are just plain wrong only because you are to lazy to look for a solution yourself.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishick:
so i have to install a third party software to send a lousy sms? if i wanna send a message to 1 guy, i use it's default app and if i wanna send one to many, the other one. i can't believe this. yes, i'm slothful, that's why i bought a smartphone

oh, btw, sometimes, it doesn't show the number that's callin' me so i have to restart it...

i have nothing against xperia or WM, i'm just being objective here, but imagine if i would have had to pay for all these extra applications? imagine if i didn't know my way around technology. i would want my SMAAARTPHONE to do everything by default; and by everything, i mean the basics.

you guys know better than me that many 3rd party apps are ****ed up and buggy and laggy, and trust me, i had more than 10 symbian phones, i know what i'm talking about. so don't you dare jump on me with "use your brain, false statements". maybe i do have a cheap micro sd, but why does the old n95 work so smooth with it a?

altae, i dare you to show me a video of you using pocket player. i want you to load a playlist with at least a couple of hundred songs, i want you to have there songs that have the same title such as come(ing) undone by placebo, korn and robbie williams. search for "undone", let me see how it shows you all 3 songs and after you select one, the playlist goes on just like "good ol' winamp". if you can do that and i can't, i swear i'll hit myself as hard as i can with the x1 in the head, in my nuts or wherever you want me to.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
First I want to say Im sorry if I was a bit rude. But you really annoyed me with your statements.

Concerning Pocket Player: Its really like I said. If you configurate Pocket Player correctly it is easely possible to add new songs to a playlist. Either vià Menu\Open\Add File or by using the library. And you can search for songs in a playlist too. Go into library, select "Now playing" and start typing (hw keyboard or onscreen). And I definitely have experience when it comes to large playlist. My current one has got 187 items and I would say its a small playlist for me. An average playlist on my phone contains 200 - 300 songs. But I have to admit that I hardly ever save them. Since the library works so well I most often build a playlist directly and do not load one.

About Group SMS: You dont have to launch a seperate application. It integrates with your standard sms app. When you create a new sms you have an additional option in the menu (right softkey) thats called "add group" or something like that. I cant say how exactly its called in English since I use a German phone. There its called "Gruppe hinzufügen" which means what I wrote above.

Some words about Windows Mobile and smartphones: The advantage of Winows Mobile is the huge community like XDA. Like I mentioned before there is a software for allmost any purpose. And thanks to skilled people who are willing to sacrifice there freetime most of those apps are freeware. You cant really compare the situation with Symbian to Windows Mobile. And thats exactly what makes a phone smart. By installing software it is able to learn and the one who learns has to be smart to some extent. Unlike the so called featurephones that come with an array of features but if you miss one particular possibility it most certainly cannot be added.

now it has a hhhuuuge delay when i'm writing messages :(

can i flash it myself or do i have to go to a service ? is 6.5 better?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
The delay comes fromt the character counter. If it annoys you there is a solution in the X1 General subforum to deactivate the counter.

You dont have to contact SE service to flash your phone. If you just want the newest stock rom (original rom from SE) you can use the update tool. But if you want to flash a custom rom or a stock rom in another language you have to install a new boot loader (hard spl) prior to flashing. There are detailed tutorials available in the X1 forum how to do this. Attention: Be advised that changing the boot loader and flashing a custom rom voids your warranty. If your phone breaks and you have to send it in for repair you will have to reinstall the original boot loader and the original rom. Otherwise SE will realise that you have used a non standard rom and will refuse to repair your phone under warranty.

best audio xperiance with xperia x1

ok if you already havent hung yourself trying to figure this out, might i suggest the following; (and keep in mind that i find conduits pocket player to be garbage and slow as donkey **** as well)...

1. Pocketmusic 5.3.5 - Best audio mp3 player ive found soo far for WM. Good GUI, fast and not clunky like conduits, and by the far the best bass booster/equalizer out there. i have attached a cab for it, look below, with the AAC support plugin.

2. Couple pocketmusic with HTC AUDIO BOOSTER for retarded bass and crystal clear mid and high notes. Its the QVGA version soo when you start it up on your WVGA xperia, it doesnt fill the entire screen, but just use your stylus to set a custom EQ and youre good to go.

If it says you have got manipulated software there has to be some kind of modified os installed on your phone. Since there is manipulated software on your phone hard spl (alternative bootloader) should already be there.

Assuming hard spl is installed on your phone it seems to be ready to install any sort of rom. Just search the forum for a tutorial for flashing a custom rom directly from your sd card and you should easily succed in flashing your desired rom. If it does not work it might be a solution to install hard spl again. Guess what: There is a tutorial for this too :-)
