[Vibrant General] khulsey:
does anyone know of a way to watch the digital copy movies that come with my bluray or dvd movies on my vibrant? i have some already on my computer and i transfered them to a folder named movies on my vibrant but a window came up that said it was unable to play file. i'm guessing it's something with the security with the digital copy but does anyone know of a way around it?
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
I have been using Videora Android Converter [google it].

In the stickied FAQ there is another program. Make sure to play with the settings to pump out max quality.

Good luck!
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
Videora removes DRM?
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
If you're going to remove DRM, which is a copy violation in itself, you may as well torrent the movie you want to watch. Less hassle IMHO.
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
I just doubt it is a DRM issue, probably a format issue. However, I don't know why it wouldn't remove DRM.
[Vibrant General] shrapnelx:
What settings are you using? It doesn't seem to let me set output to a resolution higher than VGA...
[Vibrant General] sl0play:
Handbrake FTW.

Texted While Driving
[Vibrant General] krichek:
It is a DRM issue.

Handbrake will not work for files containing DRM either. There are two types of Digital Copy one is windows based and will work on all devices labeled as "Playsforsure" and the other is iTunes based for all the "i" devices.

Instead of trying to convert the digital copy the op would have better luck just converting the actual disc.
[Vibrant General] khulsey:
Well it seems like ripping the movie from the dvd is the easiest way. I did try ripping before but the audio was slightly off. Do you think its something with the vibrant or the ripping software? Does anyone know a good free dvd ripper?
[Vibrant General] krichek:
Try makemkv, it'll rip your dvd into a mkv container. You can use ripbot264 after that to convert it into somthing smaller that will play well on the Vibrant.

Just wondered - ive just got rid of my locked o2 streak which had 2.1 on it and i want to get an unlocked unit. As above has anyone managed to reflash a stock uk unit?? Apologies if its already been answered - if it has can someone give me the link...

yup. running 2.1 on my unlocked dell direct streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Are there any disadvantages or niggles with it?

I'm tempted to do mine tonight but I hate half working ROM's....
[Streak 5 Android Development] flumps:
the 2,1 leak is beta so yea, theres a couple of slight issues but mainly it works wonderfully. im loving it! so fast
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Ah - ok - i thought that build was final. Couldnt see any issues atall - worked fine for me. SO.....does it go on easy or is there a lot of messing around.?? - i must confess im 50 50 on getting another as ive also got a nexus one with the cyanogen firmware on and its really slick.
[Streak 5 Android Development] element332:
How did you install 2.1 on ulocked streaks..? Mine is O2 so i had no problem..but my friend has a unlocked one ane and he cannot update it...

Thx..
[Streak 5 Android Development] ComfySofa:
Thats the question i was asking - ive got rid of my o2 locked streak now and was hanging out for a new one (going to the states next week) but ive heard even the full price ones are locked to AT&T. So, either get one here definately unlocked but not sure if i can get 2.x on or get one in the states possibly unlocked and save a bit of a cash....

I hope I'm not the only one with this problem.

Running jm5 with root and one click lag fix 2.3

Not all the time but often and not really reproducable as ok dont know what causes it anyway but the phone will completely shutdown instantly and the only way to turn it on its to remove the battery

But like I said I can't reproduce this it just happens :/

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chookmeister69:
I had the same thing

Mine did that after I installed the app CPU Set. When I uninstalled it, the problem went away. You may want to think about what you've recently installed and uninstall it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lolittle:
:) Okay i think you may have just saved me re-flashing all the firmwares and ROMs possible :p

Will uninstall SetCPU and see how it affects the phone

Hi there,

I've just been going through my list of contacts - now quite a few of them contain a profile picture that has been taken directly from Twitter or Facebook.

Most of them don't though and just have the rather ugly 'silhouette' icon instead - even though the vast majority of these people are on Facebook or Twitter.

Does anyone know why this is? And how I can go about changing this?

Thanks a lot,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MortimerJazz:
Anyone at all?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gravejester:
Are they linked to other contacts?

I found out that if I had the same contact in gmail and Facebook, I had to choose the facebook-one and link to the gmail-one and not vice versa to get the pictures to work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrBusiness:
For me some of my contacts worked out of the box, while others had to be fixed by hand.

Reason was normaly, that the names are not 100% identical!

Something like German Names with ö was oe on Facebook or short types like "Max" and "Maximillian"...

how can I check and verify current ROM version on the phone? What is the stock ROM shipped with the phone. Is there a name for it? I've rooted my phone by using ROM Manager app. What I don't understand is under ROM Manager/Check For ROM updates tab, it says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates.

I actually prefer to use the email app. Problem is, the email app doesn't seem to download updates until I open it (even with it on ignore in Task MGR). Email app set to download every 10 mins. The Gmail app, however, seems to auto download updates.

Any seen or know of a solution?
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
The Gmail app supports push notifications, which means as soon as you get an email, you'll get it on your phone. But with the email app, it resorts to polling (checking for new messages every 10 minutes) so it refreshes only when you open it
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
Lucky you, but my gmail app doesn't do anything. I feel that its always off since I don't get any email notification on ie.
[XPERIA X10 General] kud0s:
Makes sense. I just like the look of the email app better, but I guess u need to stick with gmail for the push ability.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Go to Settings in the Gmail app and make sure that Email Notifications is checked. That's the whole point of using Gmail compared to Hotmail/Yahoo.. (atleast for now)
[XPERIA X10 General] twentybenson:
It annoys me how you can't select multiples in th stock app. I use K9, it has colours (including led flash) for each account, push, and most importantly, multiple select.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Can the SE email app be removed without causing any problems?
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
It is checked but I don't get any notification. Sorry to hijack the thread but let me know if you guys have any soluition to this,.

[XPERIA X10 General] jas0607:
What about in Settings/Data Sync - I think you need Google Sync, and then Google Mail Sync selected too.
[XPERIA X10 General] sskeleton:

right, I forgot to check that back after the 100th times of rooting.

Having problems with my HD2 my phone company are giving me the option to change to a Wildfire or Desire due to discontinuing the HD2's from their range.

Just wanted to know everyone's views on these two phones to sway my decision to which one is better.

Doing my own research from the HTC website but a second (or 3rd, 4th, 5th, ....) opinion would help :)

Thanks.
[General Topics] Mithent:
The Wildfire has a smaller, low resolution (QVGA) screen and a 528MHz processor, whereas the Desire has a screen the same resolution as the HD2 (albeit smaller) and the same 1GHz CPU.

Wouldn't be hard for me to decide.
[General Topics] AshleyNG2:
sorted!

Getting the Desire tomorrow between 8 and 1 :D thanks for your help
[General Topics] BenF1:
There really is no competition.

Wildfire is seen as more of the entry level phone and the Desire is the flagship model.

[General Topics] Mithent:
T-Mobile UK have, for one. Apparently it was never a good seller, although when I inquired about one once the assistant actively encouraged me to go for an Android phone, so perhaps that's not so surprising.

When my contract came up for renewal they didn't have it any more, so I went for the Galaxy S (admittedly I was fairly interested in trying Android by that point anyway).
[General Topics] THUDUK:
I had the option when I sold my Iphone 3GS to go back to Windows mobile and get an HD2 with a PSP slim thrown in as well, and for the same money a Samsung Galaxy S, I went for the Samsung galaxy as they told me windows mobile HD2 was being phased out.

There is a setting in the ##3282# menu that you can set it to connect from further away, but this isn't exactly a signal boost. Yeah, with the setting changed you might get a 4g signal where you haven't gotten it before, but the performance would probably be extremely poor, or drain the battery bigtime

if u use back to get out of the msg app it will go away
[Galaxy S I9000 General] deco105:
True, but I'd prefer if the notification went away when I read the message, sometimes I read the message and go to the home screen and the notification is still there until I go back in the message app and click back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rhys100:
use handcent messaging app instead. it works properly. Also use a custom home screen so you can set handcent as your main messaging program icon at the bottom.

hope that helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Maddmatt:
You can do that without a custom homescreen too. When in the applications menu, press the menu key and then choose 'Edit'. You can move the apps in and out of the bottom bar just like you move other apps around, by holding your finger on them for a second and dragging them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Nope, this doesn' work for me. I use Handcent and like I said, even after many text messages, all the notifications won't go away. Just have to "clear" all of em.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ado_civon:
Very annoying indeed.

To clear multiple message notifications (per contact) you'd have to hit menu button -> More -> Discard

It's very annoying.

I'm looking for a workaround too. I really don't min this phone at all, coming from a Touch HD hehehe this is a major improvement (speed wise, screen wise, response wise even features are up there) but I do miss my custom energy cookie roms :( which brought my touch hd back from the dead a few times over the last year.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] spandsbab:
I also do this for the meantime I can start customizing my phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tyj82:
I think the best way to fix this is use Handsent SMS program and disable messaging notification.

so far the back button seems to be working lol (i used to press home)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cosmoboi:
Ever encounter if u receive a notification, the preview name and sender is different. Meaning if you go inbox and read the sms, its the correct sender. If its at the notification bar, it another name. Hmm. Wonder why.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
What you should do is use SMS Popup to notify you of a new text message.

Without this is what I get when I get a sms.

1. SMS arrives, phone rings + vibrates or w/e it's set to.

2. I press home to turn on the screen, and I see a SMS notification, and a SMS notification on the lock screen.

3. I swipe the glass.

4. I scroll down the notification bar, or press launcherpro's SMS icon that has a badge that says 1 at this point in time.

5. I read the sms, at this point I have to...

6. Press back, this clears the notification in the top bar.

7. Go back to home screen, and click the launcherpro icon if I choose to use the notification bar.

The worst bit is that I could dismiss the SMS after reading it entirely in the drawer, or when I 'got' it and saw it displayed on the screen.

I'm pretty sure Samsung's SMS app is just broken and doesn't report intents properly when messages are still alive and read and such.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ado_civon:
issue no longer there

I've tried to get FROYO going on my phone using the registry hack

unsuccessful :) but what I ended up with a rom that's fixed this sms notification issue when multiple sms's are received from the one contact.

Basically no BACK button or MENU -> MORE -> DISCARD

needed for the notifications to disappear. I'm only guessing that this is also going to be fixed with Android 2.2

My current version is:

Firmware 2.1-update1

I have a couple of questions about LauncherPro Plus that hopefully someone can shed some light on.

First, I noticed when i was using the latest Fresh Rom that when I used the LauncherPro Plus People Widget and clicked one of my contacts a list of options were displayed, including their facebook status. in addition their contact picture was excellent.

I flashed CM6 and reinstalled LauncherPro Plus and the People widget. Right off the back the pictures seemed somewhat blurry and digitized. Furthermore when I clicked the a contact their facebook status didn't appear anymore...only text, email, phone number etc.

So is there a fix or workaround to get the launcherPro widget to work like it do on a sense rom or is it limited?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladthedog:
I could be mistaken, especially since I don't have much experience with Fresh, but it sounds ilke the facebook integration from sense vs the NON integration (segregation?) of facebook in CM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plmiller0905:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
In AOSP roms, facebook is not as integrated in where on sense based roms it is. It isnt that the widget is broken or not working correctly its just one of the diffrences between AOSP and Sense roms.

as far as the "blurry" pictures I ma not sure on that one but i have seen others report this may be able to search for a fix.
