[Android Apps and Games] Dixiesmu:
Hi All

I have searched and downloaded numerous players but all seem to have a flaw or don't work as expected. Can someone please point me in the direction of a good all round player, or a good convertor

Thanks in advance.:D:D

I am using the Hero with 2.1
[Android Apps and Games] mightywan:
Have you tried meridian player?

As for converter I recommend Super by eRightsoft.
[Android Apps and Games] Dixiesmu:
Hi There

Thanks for the info I will give both of them a try
[Android Apps and Games] seanhassars:
rockplayer all the way.
[Android Apps and Games] mercianary:
+1

No need to convert. Rockplayer will play divx.

[Android Apps and Games] supaburger:
rockplayer is the best
[Android Apps and Games] supaburger:
i just installed arc

it works fine but looks a bit pixelated

rockplayer instead looks beautiful

Video playback

Hi All

Thanks for all your help

After trying various players and converters I have finally found a solution that plays back smoother than a cashmere codpiece:D:D

I actually used the HTC player that is pre-installed but converted the movies with the Realplayer converter. It actually lists a few HTC phones and converts to .wmv and plays like a dream.

The only problem I have come accross is it will not show the title of the film just a snapshot, but at least the movie plays in top quality.:D
[Android Apps and Games] hydralisk:
Rockplayer used to be my favorite, but it doesn't use your phones GPU to play higher quality movies. So if you want a video player that can play mkv files and divx WITH subtitle support that also remembers the position of every movie you play...

GET mvideoplayer

...assuming your phone has a decent GPU. I doubt it would be good for snapdragon phones... but it's better than the default Galaxy S movie player :D
[Android Apps and Games] scrizz:
mvideoplayer doesn't play all filletypes for me :mad:

so rockplayer for me :p
[Android Apps and Games] kjik:
Yeah mvideoplayer is great, but it doesn't play mkvs on my droid 2, so I use rockplayer
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
ArcMedia video player....

Plays my HD divx files and FLV and just about every other format!
[Android Apps and Games] Mhyst:
I can't find ArcMedia player. Seems like it is gone from the marketplace. Too bad... it looked like a winner.
[Android Apps and Games] karnovaran:
Act 1 is very refined with lots of options. It will only do h264/mp4, but it does them really, really well.
[Android Apps and Games] CW927:
It's there right now. But just as "arcMedia" Simple interface, but handles a variety of video containers.

[Android Apps and Games] captainhakan:
I checked out developer's website for rockplayer specifications and came to realise that it actually supports .srt subtitles if u only put them in same folder as movie.

I have an idea for a boot screen or wallpaper basically anything for the hd2 animated. The idea is similar to the android hitting the apple or peeing on an apple. My idea is ANDROID ROBOT EATS WINMO, THEN ****S AN APPLE. I would love to see this on my hd2 in any form. Unfortunately i do not have the skill or the knowledge to make this but I would rock this for sure. Feel free to comment or suggest someone who has the skills to do it.:cool:

These are all actually pretty decent tablets, I've been watching them closely on youtube. The Resistive screens for the 43,32,28 are quite responsive.

[HD2 Accessories] Alt@ir:
Hello, I'd like to ask you what do you think about using Creative HS-930i with HTC HD2. This headset is for iPhone but it has 3,5 jack so I think it could be able to work with HTC HD2.

Would you recommend me another headset?

I need a headset with microphone and some buttons (play music, pause).

Thanks.
[HD2 Accessories] DN41:
i think it won't work

i once tried the original apple headset with controls, but they remote didnt work.

so i guess this is the same here.

I want to root my g1.

i did this steps

1. Plug your USB cable into your computer and then plug your phone in.

2. Mount your SD card by sliding down the notification bar and selecting mount.

3. Go to My Computer and access your SD card.

4. BACKUP ANY FILES THAT YOU WANT ONTO YOUR COMPUTER. VERY IMPORTANT!

5. Go back to my computer and right click on the drive that is your sd card. Click format. Choose FAT32 from the drop down and hit the format button. This removes all data from your memory card.

6. Once the format is complete: drag and drop "DREAIMG.nbh & Update.zip files that you downloaded into the sd card. (DO NOT create a folder or anything, just put it right in the SD card)

7. Unmount your phone by going through the notification bar and then unplug your phone Turn your phone off. from your computer.

sorry for my bad english :P

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Because those instructions are very us centric.. and maybe a tad dated.

If you have a T-Mobile phone look up androot and installing a custom recovery (re-recovery) this won't require the downgrade and is thus easier/safer. Particular than flashing an out of region rom.

If its not T-Mobile more info on the phone will help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necrescope:
i'm root my phone with universal androot 1.6.1

what's next ?

i want to cyanogen mod 6. (2.2 froyo)

phone info:

Model Number = T-Mobile G1

Firmware version = 1.6

Build number = DMD64
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Well you are at a good point.. rooted and operating just need to break out of the T-Mobile system some to replace everything on the phone..

The following will give you an idea.. but please read it all carefully first or you may find yourself while probably not bricked without a functioning android install.

You will want the following

1) Download and install both the android SDK and fastboot http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2

2) Download the flash image tool http://cyanogen-files.carneeki.net/flash_image.zip

3) Download ra-recovery http://rapidshare.com/files/387558152/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img MD5Sum: 11ae63afee9813a9b76cb3f7fd5ac2ad

unzip flash_image.zip and put the resulting flash_image in the same place as recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img

form your computers command line run the following (preferable from the same directory as flash_image and recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img, some people find it easier that this also be the tools directory adb is contained in but if you are comfortable at the command line this is not needed)

adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
adb push recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img /data/local/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
adb shell

this will now place you on a command prompt on the phone continue:

su
flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
exit
exit

now power down the phone and turn on while holding down the home button you ought to now be in ra-recovery optionally run a nandroid backup and then you can continue to install 1.33.2003

After 1.33.2003 is installed you can either continue the instructions on that link to 1.33.2005 *OR* check out Custom MTD

Once all of that is done its off to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Upgrading_from_CyanogenMod_4.2_to_CyanogenMod_5/6 to install the rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necrescope:
can i follow this guide from II) Flashing a Recovery Image ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727688

because i think its easier than your guide for me
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezterry:
Two things,

1) flashreq expects a root exploit that wont exist on your rom I'm unsure if it will fall back on using su for root

2) if you feel its easier you don't like or are confuses with installing the sdk/fastboot, while there may be ways around it (rom manager comes to mind) if you ever run into trouble in the future you will need it.. once you learn how it works some you will find it easier thank messing with the apk.. as for the shell commands they will be cut copy and paste..

3) I don't recommended rom manager because if something goes wrong and you find yourself without a rom or recovery you will have a hard time getting your phone to boot without a gold card (once the engineering spl is installed 1.33.2005 you can take that route)

--

As I said before your phone is still running the T-Mobile rom take your time and understand the process and options to installing the rom.

what must i do to root my phone now ?
[Vibrant General] gypsyone:
Some days my home button is slow to respond (I have to hit it multiple times before it works), some days my home button doesnt work at all, other days it works the first time every time as it should. Does anyone else have this issue? I've read a few menu button issues through XDA but never read if there were solutions besides exchanging the phone. I've had my Vibrant for just over a month now and besides the one time it got SMS threads confused and sent a text to the wrong person, I haven't had any issues. I dont want to send my phone in and get a refurbished phone and run the risk of having new issues!
[Vibrant General] ASUDave:
Ok. I got my Vibrant the day it came out. I love the phone, but there are a few nagging issues that are really bothering me. Im hoping that its a software thing that will be fixed in the ota, but, for the first time, im beginning to doubt.

On my G1, I used to listen to Pandora almost all day at work. Never had any issues. But on the Vibrant, Im finding that Pandora will play for up to a half hour, then stop. At that point, I pretty much lose all data throughput. Nothing else will work. The phone still runs fine, but no data works. I usually have to reboot and data reconnects fine.

Ive tried the following at attempting a fix, in this order:

1. Tried Slacker, same issue

2. Factory reset

3. Installed new Sim card

4. Flashed Vibrant9

Anyone else having this issue? Anyone have any other suggestions? Im at my wits end. This isnt the only data issue im having, but its the worst.
[Vibrant General] ASUDave:
Anyone? Id really like to find out if its a software issue or I have a defective phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tahdor:
I have a HTC Ozone, running WM 6.1 (Hard SPL'ed). I have to keep it at vibrate all the time (for ring, SMS, alert, etc). Is there a way by which a call from a particular number can still make it ring loud ? May be an application which can intercept an SMS and switch profile ? Or any other way ?

Thanks
[Vibrant General] sail4horizon:
Is there any way to adjust the timeout? These drive me crazy. Mine stay on for about 3 sec. I've figured out if I touch the screen first they'll come back alive but that's annoying. Most of the time I'm just stabbing in the dark and almost always miss the button on the first try. It would be nice if you could either adjust the time or they stayed on as long as the screen was on or even had a toggle to make that an option. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] greatzak:
Idk if this is effecting anyone else, but when i go to idle the phone by hitting the power button it seems to lag for a second or so and then turn the screen off. The touch buttons light off and then a second later the screen goes black. Just wondering if this is just my phone or if thats how the phone is.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
I was at the mall about a week ago and there's those little cell phone accessory kiosks and they had a case i had never seen, something that i had only seen for Evo's and Incredible's and such

I tried it on and it fit like a dream only downfall was that they wanted $25 when i knew they had just gotten them just like all the other rip off Kiosks, from Hong Kong. i tried to bargain her down to $15 i told her i can get it on ebay for like 3-5 bucks (which i lied of course because I'm always on there looking for new ****) and she refused so i walked away mad as hell because that ***** was trying to rip me off damnit :mad:

anyways so i went on ebay and i couldn't find anything but i look today and what do i find? the same **** she had a Hybrid (Combination of Hard Plastic and TPU) Case for the Vibrant :eek:

Im ordering mine now i dont really have to tell you that it fits great because i already did but THIS THING FITS REALLY REALLY GOOD!! all the cutouts are nice and not hacked

Black

Only colors so far and a USA seller which is a plus :D

I'm gonna see if maybe someone from Hong Kong is making the same one for cheaper ill be back with an update but if not then I'm ordering it today no matter what
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
lol creo que si es ciego j/k :p

Nice find man. Are you 100% sure that's the same one you saw at the mall right? i'm probably getting it anyway, i'll trust you heh :D
[Vibrant Accessories] Drotheman:
Lmao. That pink one does look nice though. I might get that for OCT and breast cancer awareness month. To match the pink rubber bands. :D

Uh..That's cool. It's not like I'm giving a hard time because he emailed me the thread right after he made it and thought it'd be funny to post that. But hey I apologize for "Flaming" him online. I didn't know he had an online BF to protect him from criticism. :rolleyes: What a joke.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
Lol the funny **** is that is my friend in real life giving me **** lol sorry Drotherman

and yes that is the exact case, I just ordered mine it fits super nice heres a vid of the same general idea but on an Evo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV1mcJF9apc&feature=player_embedded#!

only difference is instead of it having a design or being clear its like a smoked glass
[Vibrant Accessories] StefanB86:
Thanks for the video! I like it... i now have the T-Mobile gel case and i'm getting sick of it, always sticking on my pocket and dirt on it :mad: so i am getting it. Thanks once again ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
neat, but i dont see how this is preferable to a 100% TPU case... the back plastic is going to get scratched up on this, the TPU cases wont.
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
Spent 10bucks which included shipping. I guess for my first case it couldn't hurt.

Thanks for the heads up.
[Vibrant Accessories] Pneumatic:
Ordered. For $10 why not?
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
Worst case we can all grab torches and goto LatinSilEighty's house. :D
[Vibrant Accessories] badaphooko01:
I kinda felt the same way about the official Tmo gel case even though I like the way it feels in hand, the whole getting stuck in the pocket is getting old. The other day the phone slipped out of my hand and fell from about 5' luckily it fell on its side and it bounced a couple times, thanks to that spongy case the phone was unharmed.

I too like the look of this skin, but can it provide the same protection?
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
The 100% TPU case is nice i personally just don't like the plain back, i have 3 TPU cases One of the original clear smoked (with diamond design on the back) an all white one and an all black on and there's something about the plain looking back and the gay diamonds that i don't like. Its true the plastic might get scratched up and worse case scenario might even crack but i really like this design for some reason

YEAH LETS GET HIM!!! lol

yes and less risk of damaging your case on top of that
[Vibrant Accessories] dezvous:
So do the volume buttons and the power buttons feel good even though they aren't actually poking through? The only problem I have with my case right now is that since they haven't cut holes through for the buttons it requires quite a bit of pressure in order to use them. Not cool.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
to be honest with you that's one thing i forgot to check i was loving the fitment so much i didn't even think to check. It really is a pain in the ass to have to hit the power button and the volume rockers so hard but i guess we will all find out at about the same time. Ive sort of gotten used to having to mash it to be honest lol

maybe i should go back to that mall and see if they still have that case and if so "test" fit it again lol
[Vibrant Accessories] rizzxx7:
just ordered this as well, I have so many cases for this phone now but this one seems to have a lot more protection than the mesh type cases that I own.
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
fair enough, i wasnt really a fan of the octagon pattern but i just needed a case ASAP. it actually looks pretty neat with the blue dot pattern on the battery cover imo, but hey, to each his own.

[Vibrant Accessories] christpuncher:
looks pretty good. does it make it any less slippery? i've been wanting a case, and this is the first one i've seen that isn't horribly huge/ugly, but i've been wanting one to make this slippery phone easier to hold.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
yes it does but not if you have chicken grease on your fingers :D

does it completely cover the chrome bezel?
[Vibrant Accessories] All~G1:
I got a nephew so I might understand a lil'. I bet you had nice little smug face mumbling to yourself while taking it off too. Haha
[Vibrant Accessories] rubberwheels:
Just purchased the case!
[Vibrant Accessories] ShinyBuddha:
Update to my post...Received the case 4 days ago and am really impressed with the quality and fit of it. I have no problems with either the power or the volume buttons and the cutouts for the USB & headphone jack allow for unimpeded access & work great even with my overly large aftermarket USB plugs from monoprice.com

The TPU sides do make it slightly difficult to pull in/out of jean pockets but no where NEAR as bad as silicone cases. Thanks again for the recommendation OP. For ~$10 shipped it's been a great investment.
[Vibrant Accessories] lunalearner:
Hand-made case.

I was very interested to see your case but those links just go to the home page of the site, not to your pix.
[Vibrant Accessories] n2ishun:
Lemme try again then.

I hate photobucket, but sometimes it works.

Been considering dying it black or a darker brown.

Dunno, it works fine for now.

Yes there is a rotating belt clip on the back side of it I pirated from another case.

It fits the phone exactly perfect (it better since I made it for that reason) with the T-mo gel skin on it. It is absolutely bombproof.

Like I said, 16ounce saddle leather on the outside (double layer on the back) with a liner of doe skin that is super soft, stitched with sinew (also known as gut).

I coated it heavy with sno-seal (bees wax) to waterproof it and the leather has been *worked* to soften it. The cover flap has ne fastening device, but it needs none since I molded it to stay closed under most any circumstance.

/edit
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
Thats a holster not a case. Looks kinda nice thou.
[Vibrant Accessories] Jodiuh:
Ok, I'm going to come barging in and crash your little Hybrid Vibrant party w/ my TPU Fascinate shenanigans.

Unfortunately, I didn't realized these things were $10 online, so I got owned @ Verizon for about $22 bucks.

It looks remarkably similar to the Qmadix Flex on Daydeal. But I've found a Premium Soft Argyle Flexi TPU on Amazon for $8. Apparently, this one's made by Lux, while the darker diamond grid style's made by Qmadix.

The one from Verizon's on there firm. It doesn't move. The buttons are no problem, they depress just fine, and my headphone fit wo/ issue. It's a great case, I really like it. My concern's that the cheaper Lux version may not be as solid. What do you guys think?

That said, do you guys thing the hybrid version w/ it's plastic back would insulate more against the heat? My Fas gets pretty damn warm and it can be uncomfortable at times.

Thanks for all the pictures and comments and thanks for reading my little thread jack!

PS. Here's a couple pics of the elite $22 wonder boy. :/
