The only point in trying to put on a 1080p movie is if that is the format you already have. If you're ripping your own movies, you should probably rip them to the resolution of the phone. Anything higher than 480p is overkill. 1080p is double the resolution of the phone. Have you tried a 1080p MKV?

For some reason when i try to copy over a 1080p movie that is 6GB, it says the file is too large for the destination device's file system... even though I have about 11GB free.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Thats normal..you have to break it up into either 2gb pieces or 4gb pieces (don't remember off the top of my head)...and it will work...this is actually where Kies I hear is good for..it automatically breaks up the video file for you if you use it. (unfortunately due to TW3 being missing we can't use Kies)
[Epic 4G General] WisdomWolf:
The limit is 4GB and this is due to the FAT32 file system. If android could read exFAT or NTFS there wouldn't be that limitation.
[Epic 4G General] arashed31:
The only 1080p MKVs I have are over 4GB. Even if the phone could play 1080p MKVs, it can't play the DTS audio in the movies I have.

I usually get m2ts contained movies with AC-3 audio that stream perfectly to my Xbox 360 and also work locally on PS3s.

If your on a Froyo rom the app needs to be stored on your phones internal memory. If the app is in the sd card the widget will dissapear from the home screen and the long press menu.

Unistall the app.

Go to settings cyanigen mod settings

Select applications

Select automatic instead of external

Thus the way the widget apps go to internal memory and will be there when you reboot.

Download the app again and you shoul be good.

i see people talking about odin all the time but where do you download it from?

is it part of the SDK?

i am having trouble with my phone, trying to change the lock screen there was an error i'm assuming a conflict with adw or something. well anyway the phone goes into a loop saying a process stopped unexpectedly and and asks you to force stop, you force stop and another pop up for another process shows up. there is no way out of it. it loads up the phone so that i cant try to uninstall anything. i tried to clear personal data and that didn't work. i now think i shouldn't have done that because i dont think there is any way to recover to the backup rom with rom manager.

im gonna keep trying but i fear i might need to flash it back to stock. but i dont know where to get odin and is it phone specific? a link would be super helpful right now

Hey guys,

I've been following xda-developers for last few months and it totally rocks.

Now I've been using Sony ericsson w950i (unlocked) until now.

Been thinking of moving to smart phone.

Now I'm confused, I don't care about carrier (though using ATT for now)

Here r choices: 1. Evo 2. DroidX 3. xperia X10

I don't want an iphone and I can't purchase Nexus One (which I would have if I had enough money :-/)

Anyway so here are criteria for phone:

1. Can be rooted, I like cynogenmod and I may hardly use original android

Here r few of my assumptions (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong)

I can't use proprietary UIs if I put cynogen (it doesn't matter but I wanna confirm)

Evo is my ultimate choice but heard battery sucks (what about spare battery solution ?), How severe is battery issue?

Please feel free to provide ur opinion about other phones as well. I may eventually end up purchasing Evo still I want some experienced opinions

Thanks :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ozy944:
Evo is a great phone. It IS starting to get old. Perhaps wait till christmas to see what new phones HTC brings out?

THe X10 is outdated and will most likely only ever see android 2.1 so Id steer clear of it. In fact, I dont intend on buying any more SE phones but thats just me. .

The droid x seems amazing, can be rooted but its quite big in hand (but i suppose youre looking at the EVO so thats similar :p)

Have you considered the Samsung Galaxy S phones? including the AT&T captivate?

They can be rooted, unlocked, will certainly see cyanogen mod development and because there are sooo many of them around now both locally and internationally (unlike droid x and evo), there will be lots of development for them. Specs wise, they are the top gun.

Personally, id wait a bit and see what comes around the corner. If you still want what youve listed here, youll get a better deal seeing as many will flock to the new devices :D

Cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anani18:
I love the Evo. It's my mini tiny PC. Battery wise, well it does juice it up quite much...but then again I am constantly on my fone so I got Ian charges, dock for home, n extra battery as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wis3m0nkey:
Thanks guys,

As ozy pointed out waiting till Christmas/new year would be best possible option even for me, however don't want to renew my contract with ATT for one year just for that :( (will certainly look for something though)

And about Samsung phones I'm bit skeptic (fragile and get heated -- well thats 5-6 years back experience, never used it again so I'm not saying they r bad however I'm just being doubtful, though amoled screens r worth checking out)

And thanks anani exactly thats how I'm planning to use (though its on internet forever than on phone) I would appreciate if u can point out battery accessories links

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wfrandy:
If you are happy with AT&T I would get the Captivate. I have an Evo, love it, but my wife gets her phone through work so is stuck with AT&T. She recently upgraded from the Iphone, which she always hated, to the Samsung captivate. I have rooted it (simple compared to the Evo) and done a few mods, got rid of AT&T's market censorship, enabled side loading, and got rid of all the AT&T bloatware, and replaced most of the supplied apps with better ones from the market.

Running it side by side with my Evo I have to say, while I like the Evo better, but it has some advantages. The screen is much better looking, it has slightly more responsive touch input than the Evo, and Touchwiz is a less bloated UI than Sense. On the downside, the only two things I can find to complain about with it is that the bottom buttons are not as responsive as the Evo's, and the GPS on it takes a long time to lock and isn't as sensitive as the Evo's is. I am working on improving the GPS now though with some success. It will also be getting Froyo within the next few weeks, and rumor is the button issue may be addressed with the update.

Overall though, I like the captivate, especially since the phone call quality is really good, it is light weight and seems to be built very well. Also the screen fps isn't capped at 30 fps like the Evo is. If I was on AT&T that is what I would get.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wis3m0nkey:
Thanks wfrandy and seals,

I'm kinda annoyed with at&t network at my place, most of the time I've had complains from friends saying "I tried your phone for whole day" and etc plus I'm not really in for data usage cap. Thats the main reason I'm hanging on my old phone else I could have renewed my contract by now.

But yea Captivate seems nice and Samsung strategy to make phones as open as possible is also tempting.

And about Desire - is it available with any carrier? I thought desire is not available in US market

Tonight I was trying to take a picture and email it and the phone became completely unusable. I'd like to see if this is a problem wit just my phone or if other epics are having it. Here is what I was doing so please follow these steps:

1. Open the camera with the side button.

2. Take a picture

3. Go to the picture viewer from the button on the bottom right in the camera app.

4. Choose the "Share" option when viewing the picture and select Gmail

5. I added 1 recipient, a subject, and then when I went to the body of the email to type the phone became completely unusable.

Swype couldn't type and when I tried to hit back or home it just sat there for over a min. Finally, I powered the phone off and rebooted. When I went back in to gmail it became slow again and I just left it for a while. Now it seems to be ok, but I have no idea what happened. The one thing I did notice was that when I chose Share and got into gmail the sync icon came on the taskbar.

Thanks in advance for helping out with this.

I just had this issue last night. I took about 5 picture I emailed 2 of them. I don't rememberif it froze up right after I sent the email or not but I noticed it when I tried to take another picture. I couldn't take it, I noticed a lock icon on the top of the screen. I couldn't exit the camera app. I shut down the phone using the powe button. The phone ran really slow for awhile, after the boot. Then started running normal. Possible bug I think.

no duplication but

I was not able to duplicate the issue following your steps...but I did have the phone lock up on me once while in camera mode. The image moved as I moved the phone around, but I could not interact with the phone in any other way. I had to power the device down completely. Don't remember if I was able to use the power button or if i had to remove the battery.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Allen K:
I just tried to take a picture of something with Google Goggles. I cropped the image area to particular area of the subject I was taking a picture of, but the resulting image that Goggles stored and analyzed was actually about 1/2" lower than the area that was selected in the preview window. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shrivel:
That's a pretty common issue with any non-SLR camera. The image on the screen is not always going to line up perfectly with what the lens captures.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Allen K:
Actually, if I just want to take a picture with the regular camera, it captures exactly what I'm looking at. But if I take a picture with Google Goggles, it's offset and is useless because if you're taking a picture of something fairly small, for example a paragraph of text that you want translated, it will take a picture and analyze the wrong paragraph.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Allen K:
This appears to be a known problem with Google Goggles 1.1, not specific to Galaxy S series phones.

That thread is all about radios. You need to flash HardSPL first, though. So just scroll down and click the HSPL link and instructions are there, then proceed to upgrade your radio to 2.12.50.02_2 (I recommend that)

Enjoy.

NOTE: HSPL is also required to flash a different Windows ROM, so HSPL is the key to everything. Also, Miri's V17 is recommended for a Windows ROM since all the devs use it.

NOTE 2: If you haven't already, grab a class 4+ microSD card from Amazon. It's pretty cheap, and for me made a world of a difference in making Android amazing on the HD2. (I got this one, works great. http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Cla...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1283398119&sr=8-2 8 dollars is always nice)

2. Robo Call Voice

3. And my principal concern is that it seems my phone only outputs in Mono while the phone seems to be outputting songs and stuff in two channel stereo

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] justinxtreme:
Fixes

Well first off if you have the robotic voice issue you probably also have the issue where songs play very high pitch (too fast)

To fix that, you need to install an Android compatible Windows Mobile build (like Energy Leo, Clarity, Multimedia Super, etc.) most of them will be listed on the Android Development section (in HTC Leo/HD2).

Afterwards it will be fixed

For the Sleep of Death issues (if you do experience that) you need to flash the TMO US 2.12 radio. It gets rid of it

Haptic feedback (vibration) works in keyboards, menu selection, and basically everywhere it should be working

Any other questions?

I've heard that a black screen will use very little energy, so I tested it myself. I put Aldiko in night mode on a blank page for an hour. My phone used 17% battery (97% from the display) in this hour. Was there some flaw in my testing? Did I misunderstand the claim? Is there some setting that I need to change? Or is this normal?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamamp3pimp:

I think he's trying to get a reading of the battery usage with the screen "running" the color black. By putting it to sleep the screen isnt really running. Try the experiment again see if you get the same results. then try it with a white and lets see the difference.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
While black uses almost no power, there is a small flaw to your logic. Even though you were displaying an all black screen, anything using CPU cycles in the background is still running (as opposed to if the screen was in sleep mode--which is where the recent bug in facebook came from). The app could also be draining battery waiting for things like touch-sensitive controls.

The claim isn't that black pixels use no power, it's that they use drastically less as opposed to a colored pixel. An AMOLED screen uses a lot of power, and an SAMOLED will at use close to (or more) than that. The idea is that you'll lose far less battery life with a black screen than you will with a screen that's all lit up, which isn't true of a standard LCD.
