[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
Bet you flashed some custom firmwares

Just, factory reset, I advice to flash 2.2.1 oficial, no lagfix, through kies, its probably better than every custom firm

I also have subtitles support with this firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] luposurfer:
Actually I have:

Firmware Froyo 2.2

PDL:I9000RSJP5

Phone:I9000XXJPP

CSC:I9000ITVJP3

Kernel Version:2.6.32.9

root@SE-S608#1

Froyo.RSJP5

Does it make any sense to you?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
Well, does it open any video file at least? If there are only a couple of videos, than they can be corrupted, or not supported,

otherwise I would still recommend factory reset or/and flashing.

Why do you install all these video players, do they offer anything more than the stock?

I tried Meridian and it was laggy .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trondisaksen:
After some testing, it seems to me that the stock player prefers 44.1khz audio sampling frequency. 48 khz also works, but with considerable stutter due to dropped frames.

On a side note, I find the color enhancements done by the stock player to be absolutely horrendous. Some people, mostly asian hardware companies, seem to love extra colors...but it looks awful to the rest. Please samsung: add an option to turn it off...we are not all color blind.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
I think HD video look gorgeos on the stock player, thats why I dont convert, and I`m not asian,

anyway I prefer Windows Media Player to all other pc video players,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trondisaksen:
Well, WMP does not do anything weird with the picture or colors. The stock SGS player seem to boost the contrast and colors for a higher "wow"-factor. Come to think of it, this is exactly what Samsung TV's do by default (the "Dynamic"-setting, which thankfully can be turned off). However high the wow-factor is, the colors are not correct, and they make any movie look like a cheezy commercial. If the film producer wanted higher contrast and more colors, he would have added it :-)

I believe the voodoo colorfix corrected this exact problem (look at http :// project-voodoo.org/color for an example), however I don't think it is available for 2.2.

(Sorry about the spaces in the url, but I'm not allowed to post proper urls :-( )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] luposurfer:
I turned out that after I moved all the video from the ext.sd to the internal SD it's all working great,avi mp4 etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:
You should reserve internal sd for programs, most of them cant use the external sd, maybe a bad card..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sinancetinkaya:
I think that's wrong, I can play the video below quite well with stock player
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FerreiraPT:
Used this program yesterday but the final result was rubbish. Both PC Media Player and SGS played the video and sound bumping... Followed all the instructions from the first post. Any ideas of what might went wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pol098:
A 5-year-old post, but if I found it by a search others might too ...

I'm still using an old 800 x 480 phone (Toshiba TG01, but I expect other phones of the same resolution will behave the same). Handbrake has a Windows CLI version. I sometimes want to convert .ts or .mp4 files to play on the phone; I use Handbrake with standard configuration and presets, and the following works fine for me. I tried playing with Handbrake parameters, but usually got either jerky video or digital pixellation. The following may not produce the very best possible output, but it's unjerky, uncorrupted, and displays and sounds fine on the phone display and headphones; it's not worth fiddling for ages.

I have the following command stored in a text file:

"c:\Program Files\HandBrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe" --preset "Apple 240p30" -i "input pathname" -o "output pathname"

The input pathname is the path and name of the file to convert, which must have appropriate extension (e.g., .ts). The output pathname must end in ".mp4". I simply edit the pathnames and paste into a Windows command window. I suppose some Apple-specific things are done, but the output is fine, and small. A 1.6GB .ts file (film) recorded from standard-resolution television reduces to 300MB. Maybe "Windows Phone 8" (available in Handbrake 1.0.3) would give noticeably better resolution; there are plenty of ready-made presets to play with.

(I generally prefer CLI to GUI programs for this sort of thing; once I've got the options right with the GUI or CLI version, I just make a batch file with appropriate parameters, or copy and paste to a command prompt window.)

[Legend Android Development] mytechface:
Hi all.

i am considering upgrading my TouchPro to a Legend on Bell network (Canada). Just wondering, if I just wanted to be able to use an app similar to WifiRouter (i hope this is free too), do I have to root my device?

I have not done rooting before and I generally have unlucky streaks when it comes to playing with gadgets (I always push until it breaks :(

So if someone can be so kind to explain the minimum steps needed to enable WifiRouter (or similar), it will be greatly appreciated. Else, i am considering just getting the Omnia 2 (running WinMo6.5), still might be better than my dying TP on WinMo6.1.

As a side note, don't know if it's just me... but my TP is only 18 months old, and it barely works now. Can't even run TouchFlo now, so i disabled it. I have dropped it no less than 5 times, so it might just be me.

Many thanks to all you people making this device exciting, making me wish i am not such an inept noob :o

Cheers.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] trailmix890:
I have HTC Sense disabled on my Today screen so it looks like a basic today screen. When I lock the phone, it shows the sliding unlock icon. When I slide to unlock I need to enter my PIN to use the phone (forced due to work email security). Sometimes when I turn the phone back on after the screen has turned off due to inactivity, the screen is blank (the sliding unlock icon isn't visible). The only things I can see are the top row (clock, speaker icon, signal/data icon, battery remaining icon, QuickMenu icon, and Start button). None of the items in the top row respond except for QuickMenu, but nothing in there functions since it is still locked. I end up having to soft reset the phone. I am using the most current stock ROM WM6.5.

Anyone seen such a problem or know how to fix it? Is there a program like QuickMenu that has an "unlock" link in the menus? I wonder if that could be a workaround. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jm5503:
I apologize in advance if I missed the thread explaining how to do this but is there a way to flash a custom boot screen via recovery? Like u would flash a Rom????
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] tramane:
For those having issues when switching from Factory VZW rom with backup assistant.

Search Market for Handy Backup

It will backup your contacts to the sdcard in vcf format.

Then do your flashing.

I had an issue with losing contacts for a friends Incredible, this is how i remedied it.

For some reason if ur backing up via BA then it doesnt sync to google

(presumably to prevent dupes)

Of course you can export from BA website, but this is android, we live on the fact that we can flash without need for a computer, EVER!!

LOL
[Captivate General] Citznfish:
on the Droid you just hold the home button.

on the captivate doing that just brings up my Launcher Pro screen. ( choose between launcher pro or twSamsung )

I know I could just make LP default but I don't want to yet.....
[Captivate General] tysj:
I just cleared my default launcher app (so it brings up the dialogue on which launcher to use when you press home), held down the home button and it still brought up the recent apps screen.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
Same here launcher pulls most recent when holding home button. "thanks i didnt know about holding the button "
[Captivate General] Croak:
There's a setting in LauncherPro to set the home screen behavior on long press, double press, etc.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
TouchWiz also has this as well. I discovered it from a previos thread, just hold it for an extra second or two and it gives you the last 6 apps you opened.
[Droid X Android Development] bojangalz:
Ok, I'm a noob. I understand the concept behind rooting but have never done it myself. I'm quite excited at the fact that it only took a few days to get this puppy rooted. That was my one concern when I bought the phone. I've got a few simple questions before I get started with all this.

First let me apologize for my simpleton requests.

1. I assume that at this point the only real function of rooting this phone is to remove bloat, correct?

2. Is it reasonable to expect that at some point I'll be able to ditch the Moto skin for stock Froyo?

3. Will I lose the apps that I've purchased for this phone by rooting?

4. Where might I find a very detailed "Rooting the DX for Dummies" post? I've read Birdman's directions and simply don't understand much of what is listed:

Step 1: Set up ADB What is ADB and how the hell do I set it up?!

Step 2: Push exploid to /sqlite_stmt_journals "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals" Again, not sure what the hell to do here, can someone provide a bit more detail?

I'm assuming that from this point on there is some sort of cmd prompt for me to type the following. Are my assumptions accurate?

Step 3: type "adb shell"

Step 4: type "cd sqlite_stmt_journals"

Step 5: type "chmod 755 exploid"

Step 6: type "./exploid" and follow directions on screen

Step 7: type "rootshell"

Step 8: type in password "secretlol"

Step 9: your in root!

This part seems easy enough!

Step 10: mount your sdcard to pc and put Superuser.apk and su in the sdcard

Step 11: unmount sdcard

Again, exactly how to I get into this adb people speak of?!

Step 12: in adb (make sure your still in root with the # sign) type in:

- cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk

- cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/su

- chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Once again I'm truly sorry for requesting the short bus treatment here. It's just that I used a fair portion of my disposable income to get this phone and I'd rather not just jump in with both feet without testing the water first.

Thanks in advance for any seasoned hacker who can take me under his/her proverbial wing.
[Droid X Android Development] Roland Deschain:
Follow the instructions at http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=493 instead. It's a much better write-up :)
[Droid X Android Development] Epell:
As for questions you asked:

1. Well, you can also install root-only apps such as wifi-tether. No custom ROMs though.

2. I personally don't think it's reasonable to expect custom ROM at this moment, but there are many great devs working on cracking the bootloader so it's not completely hopeless. Meanwhile, LauncherPro seems like a good alternative.

3. Nope.

4. Already answered.
[Droid X Android Development] bojangalz:
Thank you both for the reply. The other thread is very helpful. Can't wait to give it a try this weekend.
[Droid X Android Development] x.v_:
2. Nobody really knows. The Milestone has been in the same boat for >8 months. Root but bootloader isn't cracked. It isn't really reasonable to assume "just because it's rooted, I'm sure it will get fully cracked!" =p We certainly have a better chance, I believe more people are working on the X, but still, they're two very different things. =p
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
Get root explorer

It lets you do everything like windows explorer instead of command line it even mounts read/write for you
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tonywalker:
Hi Guys! After upgrading to version 2.1 (stock) the battery life is displayed in 10% steps. Eg 10%, 20%, 30% ...

That is correct? On the 2.01 it was 1%. 1%, 2%, 3% ...

I hope you understand what I'm saying, my English is not very good :(

Tanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Silico:
From what I can recall I was under the impression that the Motorola Milestone always had a hardware limitation of only being able to show battery charge of increments of 10.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] RaptorBot:
Yes, as far as I'm aware, having updated my Milestone through 2.0 > 2.0.1 > 2.1, the battery percentage has always been limited to increments of 10%, apart from the final 3 increments: 15%, 10%, and 5%
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] tonywalker:
ok. tanks.. :(

Maybe on 2.2 it will be fixed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jopsjops:
I've made a Swedish keyboard layout with åäö for my HTC HD2 (aka HTC Leo) with the 1.66.413.2 Swedish ROM. The T9 works flawlessly.

The keyboard is a modification of FingerKeyboard 2.1 which is freeware software. Google for it.

Install FingerKeyboard 2.1 and replace the files in the program folder with my modified files. Make sure you have chosen Swedish keyboard layout in the settings. Theoretically it should work with other Windows Mobile 6 phones with the same resolution as HTC HD2 (which has a WVGA screen). I cannot guarantee anything though. You have to test for yourself.

Or you can modify the files for yourself to suit your phone. The files that dictates how the keyboard is displayed are plain txt-files and bmp-files. There is a document in the program folder explaining how the txt-files are built up.

If you want FingerKeyboard to be your default keyboard then follow the instructions displayed in the FAQ-portion of the FingerKeyboard 2.1 page in the XDA forums.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] norpan111:
i replaced the files as described but nothing changes? i dont have t9 and no seperatly åäö:(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jopsjops:
You have a HTC HD2? It works on my HTC HD2. I don't know if it works on other Windows Mobile 6.5 phones.

Activate T9 with you default keyboard and make sure it's activated. Also activate T9 in the FingerKeyboard settings program. Then switch to Finger Keyboard. T9 should then stay activated.

What I haven't written down in the instructions is that after following the instructions you should choose the GreyBlue color scheme in the Finger Keyboard settings program (since that's the color scheme that has been modified in the bmp-files).

If you've followed all instructions exactly as written then I can't help you more than this:(

[HTC Aria General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I am curious, what else is there besides tether apps, that we can put on here that the evil ATT doesn't want us to have.
[HTC Aria General] Troggie:
Well I haven't found too many other apps in the normal Market that aren't in the ATT one beside the Tethering software. Then again turn the phone to Airplane mode while on a Wifi network and you are no longer filtered by ATT so you can install what ever you want as long as you have root.
[HTC Aria General] asiancuta:
Lol...apparently ATT blocked a game called Toss It by Boolba Labs because theirs an option to toss an iPhone into the trash can. Lol.

Is it..."legal" that ATT cab filter apps they choose?? I mean they're already blocking installing third party apps. I mean what "legit" reason could they come up with?
[HTC Aria General] Rwelch:
swype has to be sideloaded
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
i'd be more concerned with removing the junk at&t wants you to have rather than putting stuff they may not like on there! ;)
[HTC Aria General] Frrrrrrunkis:
Oh, well ATTN1's Liberated ROM B005 took care of that little issue right quick! :D
[HTC Aria General] OJsakila:
Is it Legal?! HA ha...They (ATT) can do wahtever they want. Lock that ***** down..You dont like it you can not buy it...

Or buy it and tell ATT to KISS OFF by rooting it and flashing another ROM.... That's Legal, too!!!..I have Liberated b005. Took me all of 5 minutes..
[HD2 General] malisha1:
When i plug my phone to either pc or ac the yellow light blinks and the battery reads 100%. Usually the yellow light is solid and the battery show as if its plugged in. Can someone please help?
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
Have you examined the contacts on the usb plug and where the battery snaps in?
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
That is usually the middle contact for the battery.

Pull the battery cover and battery out and inspect the battery connectors. My guess in the middle one is bent forward. Bend it back gently and be careful if you have to pull the battery.

The soft reset button is a better option if you just need to do a battery pull.
[HD2 General] Faelok:
Are you using the standard HD2 battery that came with your phone? I bought a cheap $5 backup battery and I have this exact same issue when I try to charge it. The stock battery works perfectly though.
[HD2 General] bussc067:
hot

I have the same problem, but only when I use internet on the phone for a period of time. When the antenna is used continuously it gets very warm, and I noticed that's the moment it quits loading and flashes the light. Maybe the battery gets too hot?
[HD2 General] maxxis:
so what is the solution - will not charge from network charger nor from usb - when i pluged network charger for whole noght it was blinking green and orange and indicator wrote 100 percent of charge but when i looked into battery properties it showed me 9 percent and no charge - so by night it discharged fully and no answer on any doings
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Some things that may indicate the flashing lights.

The only solution I heard of that works is to do a soft reset.

An alternative is to switch off the phone, then after 10 minutes or so plug it into the charger. This means that the charging circuitry is only supplying power to charge the battery and not power the phone as well.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
on this phone, you can't use anything but the battery for the phone. Take out the battery and you can't use the phone.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
I'm not asking you to remove the battery. Either try a soft reset or charge the phone with the phone switched off ten minutes prior to charging.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StDevious:
What uses more battery, Wi-Fi radio or 3G Radio ? I'm using an Eris.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LaRoach:
From the Googling that I've done the general opinion is that wifi will take less power then a 3G connection.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RaptorBot:
as far as i can tell , through general use and some research... 3G uses more power, you might notice the phone generates a lot more heat on 3G too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] UrbanMuppet:
With Wifi you are only looking a couple hundred feet at max, with 3G you're going a few miles. It's like driving 30mph vs driving on the freeway.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
So I've figured out that I've got the myTouch 1.2 (because I have the 3.5mm jack) and I'm currently running a ported version of SuperD 1.10.3 which is awesome. The issue I have is that I want to replace my splash screen, however, the only success I've had in getting my phone rooted and a custom ROM loaded was to load up a rooted SPL, flash AmonRA's 1.7.0G recovery, and then reflash my radio/SPL back to the original state. So, I don't want to have to load up one of the rooted SPL's and then go back every time I want to use ADB via Fastboot. What I was wondering is if there's any 32A SPL's with the 2.22 radio so that I wouldn't have to go back to the locked (perfected) SPL. Here's what I've got

FASTBOOT Specs:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)

RADIO - 2.22.23.02
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
This is the wrong section. Should be in General (unless you're releasing a new engineering spl)

You need to use an engineering spl to modify your splash screen, flash the new splash screen, then flash your stock spl back. You might be able to continue to use the other engineering spl (1.33.2010) but you will lose half of your ram, headphone jack, etc.

Here's the engineering spl

Here is the stock spl
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Alright, that's what I had been doing but wasn't sure if maybe there had been an engineering SPL put out that I could continuously use. The issue I've had is that whenever I load the engineering SPL, do whatever I need to, then go back to the original SPL, I can no longer boot into recovery. I end up having to reload the engineering SPL, flashing over the hboot and radio, and reflashing my recovery on. Is that right or is there an easier way.

About the wrong section, I though about that a few minutes ago, sorry for posting in the wrong one. I'll remember that for next time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] C0dy:
What I've been able to do is just flash the 2010 Engineering SPL, flash my new splash screen, then revert back to the normal SPL and everything works from there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
Yeah, that's pretty much what I said. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ekoandrew:
@Binary100100

How do I Flash ENG SPL and Flash back the Stock SPL? Is there a guide?

Also, how do I back up my own Stock SPL?

(wondering the one provided stock spl is the 1.33.0013)

thnx in advance.!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
If you've got the myTouch 1.2 (with the 3.5mm jack) then you can use this guide following steps 1-8. What are you trying to do it for?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ekoandrew:
I want to Flash the FAT GREEN T-Mobile Splash screen into something else.

wow, thnx for the guide. but I need to make a GoldCard? is the the only way to flash the SPL? and flash it back?

Binary100100 posted the ENG SPL, and original SPL. What I am wondering is, what spl version is the original?

Can I just zip up the Original SPL, and rename it update.zip. and Flash it.

Will this work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
The original SPL will include the stock recovery which you don't want. That's why only the radio and bootloader are in that guide to be flashed back.
[Vibrant General] 8bits:
I know its a lame question but its bugging me.

Im thinking of buying a couple of Vibrants for my wife and myself to use on Brazil. They are locked to T-Mobile (are they?) but is there any way to unlock it by software?

I know that kernel, drivers etc where released by Samsung (opensource.samsung.com) and we can already root it...will a unlock method be too difficult?

Thanks in advance :)
