[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritalin:
I have read a few posts similar to yours, complaining about streaming divx avi files.

I myself do NOT have any issues with this and have tested a fair share of my 900gigs of divx avi's. I DO have issues stream MKV files while I have seen others report that they can stream MKVs.

What does this mean?

This means that AllShare is no different then any of the other DLNA based streaming software out there, there are compatibility problems that need to be worked out. Usually this is sorted out on the streaming server side and not the player.

I am saying that the software you are using to stream is more then likely causing the problem.

Give Twonky a try. Thats what I use and as I said I can stream divx/xvid avi's without issue. The downside is that Twonky is not free, the upside is that there is a 30 day trial to test and see if it resolves your issue. If it does, I dont think the price for Twonky is that bad, I paid $15. If you want a free one (they update compatibility less frequently) just google search DLNA or UPNP streamers and test a few out. XBMC is a good open source alternative, but is really not an option if you are using a windows box. XBMC is a program and not a service so you would be running a full media player at all times. XBMC can be setup as a standalone in linux though, if you have a spare PC to use.

Good luck.

When I say "stream," I don't mean from a home network source, I mean from an http source.

Therefore, I don't think the DLNA solution applies (Although i'm probably going to end up taking your advice for when i want to play videos from my computer, so thanks for the tip :))

But that still leaves the current issue. Any Ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritalin:
AHHHHH.... I have been looking for a way to do this as well. HTTP streaming should no longer be an issue when 2.2 drops as sites like quicksilverscreen and the like all work fine through Flash 10.1 in 2.2. I have tested this with a Nexus1 and it works beautifully even over 3g.

I still want to have access to my home server though as I have close to a terabyte of video and my system is setup to auto download shows as they come out.

I am hoping to get my hands on a deODEXed version of the AllShare app to see if I can remove the WIFI only restriction. After that it should just be a matter of setting up a VPN back to my server.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmpryid:
Right, megavideo should work fine once we get the 2.2 update (woot! cant wait till we get flash xD)

as for movies uploaded on megaupload, I guess i'll survive with the .downloadTemp folder trick for now. Thanks.

And if i may ask, what's the quality like on allshare and twonky? and how fast does it respond to fast forwarding/rewinding?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowdogging:
I would like to stream from a regular windows samba share over wireless. I can't even get that working properly. It appears to be a limitation with the player and not the OS.

And it obviously doesn't with yours. You've tried it with 2 different ROMs. Unless you feel like throwing a bunch of ROMs at it, be my guest. I'd say if it's not broke, don't mess with it. What speeds do you get?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
new pri doesnt mean better data speeds for YOU unless YOU tested it.

if the towers by you are pushing out 1.34 its for a better reason than you have.

if you want to get back to 1.40 then go flash steelH's 2.2 and update it.

[Desire General] tokyoahead:
Hi,

I am a bit confused with the data sources used for the HTC sense facebook app and the "official" facebook app. The story:

I used to have the normal, facebook for HTC sense. I do not remember if there was another facebook app in the application list (standard 2.1 ROM).

I used to have my contacts in there and could link them to my Exchange contacts. When the latest version of the facebook app came out, I installed it and it worked fine. I did not try to link contacts for a while.

Recently I discovered that there are some of the contacts in the facebook app that are not in the list of linkable contacts. I suspected that the official and the HTC app used different datasets. So I tried to open the HTC version without success. I could not find a link to it, only to the official app. But both are in the application list. Also, in the market, I cannot uninstall the new app completely, only remove the updates. I have done this, and also removed the facebook for HTC sense account, to reset and re-download all contacts from the web.

When I try to reinstall the account now, it shows me next to flickr etc a facebook and a facebook for HTC account in the list, but I can only create one for the HTC version. I did this, but now, the list of the contacts is empty when I try to link exchange data to facebook contacts.

I can reconnect facebook before an after the update to the online version and download the contacts which will be shown in the actual application, but the "Link to" will not show any contacts anymore.

Any suggestions?

Had no problem with the dutch firmware.

are you sure that you have 3g coverage where you live?

Don't forget to enable "wcdma only" from call settings. It might help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] morcom:
Hmmm .... I do not have any problems with Diamond, I'm close to BTS with signal level 5 in 3G. So I think there is something with that....

Problem is with Samsung only. Sipdroid is showing more than 95% of lost packets and about 10% late. I have to test this with another firmware... maybe this is a problem.

Thank for suggestion with the change of GSM band - I did this - the same.

PS: no problems with on lin eradio e.g.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] morcom:
OK - I changed firmware, radio, modem... nothing.

Then I made some additional test using sipdroid on the alternative port - and bang... clean sound... no dropping packets.

It is looking that vodafone.nl is filtering communication on SIP ports like 5060 - they have in rules that voip is not allowed.

The thing is that before with my old contract it was working really perfect without any missed packets.

Question is how it is possible that on HTC Desire in Vodafone as well everything is working fine.

Maybe they have me on the list.... black...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ravi84m:
interesting!

which port did you use? i should keep it in mind in case telfort does something similar :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] morcom:
I have used port 36999.

The problem is that this port is supported only on pbxes.org - which is not perfect as the SIP provider for my another account.

So now I'm trying to find a good solution - maybe to use siproxd to forward connection to the SIP provider on normal port (5060).

Will see if this si working. For now Vodafone is blocking the SIP and VoIP (what is in their regulation).

I just did a mistake signing contract extension with them. Should choose another provider....

Hi - im stuck at the first hurdle....ive done the gold card - thats inside the desire. but when i try to run "step1-windows" from the r5-desire-root folder i get a strange error erasing 'cache' ... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

but - this could be down to how the device manager sees the phone - do you configure usb to see the phone as "Android ADB interface", "Android bootloader interface" or "Android Composite Interface"

the first 2 i tried and got the same error so im not sure if its that....

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Just got a little further....got to the part where it sends the 13meg zip file to the phone gets to the last point where it says FAILED (remote: 42 custom id check fail) but then carries on and says ok....is it??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Right - found my problem and have moved on to the next. The error was down to the gold card a. not being created properly and b. the gold card info from the img not being written to the actual sd card. I had to save it twice (dont ask me why - its what i had to do). so, ive got through the first part i think and i want to format my now gold card....how do i do that then as when i format it and then use the hex editor to check it i still see the info in the first 170 blocks...? so, im half way there.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Don't format it as you'll need it for future updates...just use it as it is
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
ok - check.

Right so, im a little further again ( and now needing help) went through the step 2 part....after a bit of messing around i got to the recovery menu and did a wipe and then did a flash (rootedupdate.zip) now, it gets to the htc splash screen and keeps rebooting at that point like it cant find an os to boot into....anyone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
do i have to apply the rootedupdate first or can i go straight to a cooked build??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
oh - the other thing is that if i start the phone and go to recovery i just get the phone with the red triangle i can only invoke the recovery menu when i run "step2-windows"

+ should i be doing all of this on the gold card memory card or on a stock memory card + i also need to know how to format a gold card properly as i used another card as a gold card and want to return that back to how it was so i can use it normally again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
ok - im there (dont use the gold card to actually install the rootedupdate.zip file) - thats what caused the phone to keep rebooting at the splash screen.

If anyone can id still like to know how to return a gold card back to stock card...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Oh - another thing - why do i still need the gold card anyway? - its rooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's rooted but the CID (think that's the right term!!) of the phone is still vendor locked...easier way is to have used unrEVOked. I used to use the MoDaCo way at first but last time I had to root I used unrEVOked and it was all done in about 5 minutes! Seriously easy!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
Ah - so i can i reflash t'other way over the top of this??

Another question....ive flashed the radio (the one posted today and also flashed the cyanogen build) but - its sitting at the cyanogen splash screen at the moment (been there for 10 mins)

should i just try another image? or another radio??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComfySofa:
at last im there - RTFM....had to install the right radio first, then wipe and then install CyanoGen. All working now. Just in case anyone thinks i like the sound of my own voice/posts its more of a "this is how i got it working for me" type thing - hopefully others who get the same problems will happen to stumble upon this while googling with a dead phone!

Can we replicate this on the Captivate? I've been playing around with my new Epic for a few days and it is AMAZINGLY fast. This is supposed to be the lag fix that Sammy employed on the Epic.
[Captivate General] _Opiate_:
I knew it was just a matter of time until Samsung took action against the lag problem. I mean they wouldn't want their big, bad, and fast galaxy s line slowed to a screeching halt because of lag issues. I wouldn't be surprised if we see this in an update in the near future. With Samsungs track recored though they might end up waiting for Froyo to emplement it.

[Captivate General] naxir:
is there a good reference for the mapping of /dev/? or the whole file system in general? I went to see if busybox had a symlink for bash and much to my surprise there was no /bin. I'm new to android but a long time linux user and the differences are becoming readily apparent.
[Captivate General] ranova:
I wouldn't go as far to say that. Everything is the same internally other than how the file system is setup, and in this case they are using the NAND (I believe).

From Boygeniusreport:

"We’re assuming the phone uses NAND Flash as the internal memory medium. On the Captivate if you navigate to Settings >SD Card and phones storage you see “External SD Card” and “Internal SD Card” listed. On the EPIC you see “External SD Card” and “Internal Phone storage.” We’ve reached out to Sprint for clarification and will update this article if they respond with a definitive answer."

[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
same hardware, different software...just minor things different
[Captivate General] Krynn!:
The Epic is missing the 16gb internal SD card... the SD card that Samsung has split into 2GB for apps and 14GB for /sdcard for the rest of the US Galaxy S devices (no idea how the EU phones are set up). As a result, it has far less space for apps, but it more than makes up for it in speed.

About the only thing that I think Samsung can do to improve speed on the rest of the Galaxy S phones is to either work like hell to come up with a better driver for the internal SD card, or to accept a massive limitation in app space and build in the original lag fix.

I'm hoping it's just a driver issue... when copying a 1GB file to and from my /sdcard using the USB mass storage mode, I sometimes see 10+ megs per second, and sometimes see >1 meg per second. This is with my phone sitting idle, nothing else going on at all (except for OS Monitor, so I can see what's going on). That leads me to believe that it's either a driver problem or the internal SD card is the world's crappiest. Seeing as everything else on the phone is very nice hardware, and seeing how the GPS and compass drivers have issues as well, I'm kinda (and maybe foolishly) thinking that it's probably a driver issue. We'll see.
[Captivate General] Unhelpful:
It almost certainly is a driver issue. Formatting the internal SD with another filesystem provides a large boost in I/O performance. It's not as large as with the loopback hacks, which probably result in both subsystems buffering data, but it's enough to make using the device much more pleasant.
[Captivate General] -=HOLLYW00D=-:
not sure if this has been covered already, but it looks like the Galaxy S phones use NAND for internal storage and not a flash card. the following link:

http://www.sprintdroids.com/forum/s...-galaxy-s-torn-down-extensively-detailed.html

will link a Korean site that tears down a Galaxy S device. here's the direct link to the translated Korean page:

http://translate.google.com/transla....com/News_List_View.php?nModeC=4&nSeq=1742568
[Captivate General] -=HOLLYW00D=-:
on the Captivate, if you scroll down farther, past Internal and Externa SD Card, you will also see "Internal Phone Storage".
[Captivate General] Unhelpful:
The Captivate has both, as you can see quite clearly in the shell by using the mount command. Most if the partitions are segments of the NAND, using /dev/block/stlXX devices, but /data is /dev/block/mmcblk0p2, the second partition of the internal SD card. All are Samsung's proprietary RFS filesystem, which appears to perform poorly on the SD.
[Captivate General] -=HOLLYW00D=-:
pardon my ignorance, as i truly am ignorant in the subject, but how are logical names proof of physical hardware? could Samsung not have partitioned a NAND chip with different mount points and call them whatever they want? from the tear down pics, it seems that there would be no room for an internal SD card on the PCB. also, from reading around, it seems that all Galaxy S phones are pretty much the same hardware-wise, is this not true for the Captivate version?

again, i don't mean to come off antagonistic. i'm just searching for knowledge.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I just wish everyone would quit calling the system memory an "Internal SD card". There is no such thing. Samsung gave it this stupid name so the simpleton's of the world would realize it was data storage.

SD - Secure Digital is a form factor design. The phone has different kinds of flash memory and no one has yet to determine if the 14GB "internal SD" is a seperate chip from the total 16GB of internal storage.

Comparing this "Internal SD" to a real SD card is just dumb. An SD card is removable, of a certain physical size, has a write protection, and supports built in DRM - part of what Secure Digital means.

I am speculating too, but until someone can pinpoint the chips used on the captivate, we don't really know what this internal SD is made of.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I agree - SD is just NAND with DRM and some other features. I think Samsung just calls it this to separate internal OS/Application storage from user addressable storage. I would be there is one 16GB NAND chip as I have never heard of a 14GB chip. I bet they just partitioned the 16GB chip in different ways, but for some reason gave the 14GB chunk a slower FS partition by mistake.
[Captivate General] Krynn!:
Ah, good to know then. Thanks!
[Captivate General] Unhelpful:
It is not only a logical name. While there may not be a removable card in a slot, the name suggests, and information in sysfs agrees, that the "internal SD" is accessed via an sd/mmc host controller. This means that many details about the flash are being hidden from the OS - it doesn't know what the erase block size of the flash is, it only sees a device with a certain number of blocks and a partition table at the beginning. Block remapping and wear levelling are hidden, which is why we can't use any of the linux filesystems for MTD devices. And for some reason, I'm not sure why, RFS performs much worse on an mmc device, or at least on this one, than it does on the OneNAND partitions. That it should matter seems a bit odd, as they are both block devices, but perhaps the OneNAND driver exposes some other information or interfaces via ioctl calls that are not present on the mmc device.

It is certainly possible for a filesystem to perform better on the internal SD than RFS does - this is easily demonstrated by formatting it with ext4 or nilfs2, and is also suggested by the improvement in lag that some seem to see with the leaked firmwares. In the future we may not care about alternate filesystems, because we get an rfs module that performs better on the internal sd. :)
[Captivate General] -=HOLLYW00D=-:
sounds reasonable, thanks. but getting down to it, is it not at all possible that the internal "memory" is a physical NAND chip, albeit partitioned and interpreted logically however Samsung saw fit?

this may seem like a pointless debate, but perhaps if the community knew it was NAND for a fact, they could rewrite this or that to make things faster/better/etc..

here's a link that revers to the internal memory as NAND. not the source i'm looking for, but it's something:

http://www.66mobile.com/phones/samsung/samsung-galaxys.html

here's another spec sheet referencing NAND:

http://www.dropshippers.co.za/W32574411-Samsung-I9000/Documentation.html

here's an official Samsung site referencing NAND:

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The only problem with all of this is that SD cards are made with NAND memory too. There are multiple types of NAND (RAW with subtypes, and Managed with subtypes), and until someone specs out which chips are which we will all be speculating.
[Captivate General] -=HOLLYW00D=-:
good point.
