[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
figured out how to transcode 720p to the ps3.

If your computer can communicate to the ps3 properly, then you're all set. What you do is:

1. fire up windows media place and select video library\

2. select the default file there if you haven't deleted it. Its Wildlife in HD. If you've deleted it, then just go to: Libraries\videos\sample videos-- skip 3

3. right click on the video and open folder

4. place your 720p recorded video in this folder

5. find your computer's media server on the ps3, select video-- all video-- and select your file. It should play shortly afterwards.

Basically, you could just create a shared folder somewhere on your computer and place the files in there and it should stream to the ps3.

I'm curious to see how fast the 4g networks across the country are.

There is a good Speedtest.net app in the marketplace that's free to use for this.

Please post your results along with your location so we can compare.

Speedtest results: 8461kbps down, 1080kbps up

Location: Bannockburn, IL

I wasn't expecting that high of download speeds! I had 2/3 bars of 4g.

edit: Just tested wifi tethering with these speeds, and i got 1.14mbps down, .96mbps up w/ 96ms ping.
[Epic 4G General] quietpopcorn:
This wasn't my fastest but it's apparently the only one I got a screenshot of. I was in Atlanta last weekend.

Also some of those tests were 3G to show my friends. The top one I know for sure is 4G.

[Epic 4G General] hydralisk:
The upload is obviously capped for 4G as well.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Yeah, I got max of 7.4 down today (same capped upload). I was in the car with my girlfriend driving up US1 between Oakland Park and Commercial in Ft. Lauderdale. So weird that the only place that has 4G there (goes a bit north of where I said) is just that small patch, maybe 2-3 towers max. I finally got a taste of 4G since I have none where I live and its very nice.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
but we know 4g is capped to 1mb. thats a known issue and frankly not a big deal for me, my home dsl is like that as well. I'm in deerfield beach, maybe I'll drive down there this afternoon and test it out. supposedly according to 4g mapviewer there is 4g on 595 at the university drive exit. that is where I work but i tried it 3 days in a row and no 4g.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
i just tried it on us1 on commercial blvd. some speeds in the 2mb and 3mb range and a number in the 5 and 6 mb range. highest I think was 6.4. I was disappointed I couldn't break 7, but still that was pretty good. 1meg upload cap as expected but thats sprint capping. I read they might uncap that eventually.
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Yeah, I know of the 1mb upload cap... it can go much higher. I don't care too much. I don't like that the 3g speeds are capped. They are no where near what I get on my hero. It does everything faster, including loading pages on 3g so its not a biggie unless I want to download a file from dropbox.
[Epic 4G General] MvP77:
Just picked up an epic today, while i like the phone, i gotta say im dissapointed in sprints 3g and 4g speeds.

Here in Kansas city on my epic i get an avg of 1mbs up on 3g and an avg of 3.5mbs on 4g.

On my HD2 running 2.2 And Nexus One i get an avg of 4.5mbs. Seen it as high as 5.5mbs on Tmobile.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
Im thinking of up grading to the Vibrant. Any reason not to? Is there a better phone on the horizen? Im currently with T-mobile and dont want to switch. Thanks in advance!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Only other choice is the T-Mobile G2 (Oct 6.) or myTouch HD (rumored to release November '10?). I've gotten the Vibrant since week one and don't regret getting it. The Super AMOLED screen is definitely beautiful and one of the things admired most from this phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolcopter:
get it

best screen. like a hdtv in your pocket

t-mobile has great 3g speeds

hummingbird > snapdragon

released in 100+ countries, including every major carrier in the US so community support should be huge

there's always better phones on the horizon, but this is the phone i've been waiting for ever since the iphone was announced years ago. and it hasn't disappointed
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SykesAT:
no it sucks. *at the airport, using vibrant to tether 3g to laptop* :D

G2 is very appealing and I am considering switching... it comes down to physical keyboard and stock android VS bigger and much better screen, slightly better hardware..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lolcopter:
while i understand this viewpoint, touchwhiz is easily disabled. there is also no guarantee that the G2 will get the same OTA updates as the N1 simply because it is stock android. the original droid on verizon is a good example.

but yeah, if you need/want a hardware keyboard the G2 is a better choice (obviously). unless you can deal with sprint and the epic
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dattaway:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
My 3rd android phone (just from passion of the OS), this is by far my most favorite of them. Speed, Design, Display... love everything about it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
Touchwiz is actually very usable from personal experience and reviews. It added alot of 'shortcuts' that makes life alot easier. For example, swipe notification bar to change brightness while outdoor, instead of going through 3-4 menus. Overall, Vibrant is a very solid phone at stock, definitely recommend it.

Only issues now are the GPS and Froyo, mostly Froyo. :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitrixLemon:
+Amazing looking screen, ignore the iPhone 4 people and their color fidelity nonsense, the Vibrant is more colorful that the iPhone 4 and looks a lot better when viewing pictures and movies.

+Runs very fast, 1ghz processor.

+Very thin and light compared to the iPhone 4 (especially now that everyone has put a case on theirs), the back is plastic not glass, but I like saving the weight and I think the patterned back looks fine, comes with 2 colored backplates in the package I got.

+Android, with an open market, unlike At&t's flavor, the Captivate.

+Currently the best T-mobile phone available if you need to get a new one right now.

+Shoots 720p at 30fps. Big selling point, my friend bought a flip video and my phone takes the exact same quality of video and I don't have to carry an additional device, the camera is 5mp and also quite good.

Some downsides

-T-mobile took out some features from the stock Galaxy S, including fm radio, front facing camera and flash. I don't really need a front facing camera or a flash, the night mode works very well and renders a flash almost useless. Fm radio would be nice but I can live without it, I just loaded up my own music.

-Bloatware, it comes with a slew of crappy apps that you cannot remove without rooting. I would strongly recommend rooting, deleting bloatware, and then unrooting (The sales rep. at T-mobile actually recomended this :)) It's about as safe as it can get and very easy, 1 click root and unroot, just look for it on xda. Also expect this on other T-mobile phones, except maybe the G2.

If you can wait a little just to see what's planned for the winter you might consider it, but I doubt you will be that disappointed if you buy the vibrant now. T-mobile has had a sad list of Android phones besides the Nexus One, so I doubt there's anything better than the myTouch or G2 coming out.

So you're upset that T-Mobile isn't getting the Samsung Galaxy S Tab? What makes you think that it is 100% on Samsungs part?

This is the SAMSUNG VIBRANT forum, I honestly don't care too much about a tablet because I'll never use it. I just find the tablet and the Vibrant to be irrelevant. If anything.. why would you would a contracted tablet? If anything I would want a WiFi only version and just tether with my phone.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mhut:
Does anyone know if it´s possible (and how) to disable the default battery indicator on the statusbar ???

I like some percentage number style on the status bar, so i´ve installed Battery Indicator Pro. But now i feel that´s no reason for having two batt indicators, so will be nice if i can disable the default one, to left only the B.Indicator Pro, wich also shows a little battery icon plus the number percentage into it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] acemadmav:
good question, i did exactly the same and i gave up to discover how to eliminate the default indicator...anybody knows a way?:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mhut:
Pheeewww... I´m not sure if we can block the stock battery app on the phone boot/startup (rooted phone), but i´m not sure if that can cause some kind of freeze, or even malfunctioning of the battery indicator pro (or other battery application installed). Even if that can do the trick, i know it´s not the best way.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barthand:
Hi All,

I have bought HTC Desire from one of the polish operators - ERA. Unfortunately, it has branded ROM on default. I would like to root my phone, although before that it would be nice to have a backup copy of current branded ROM (so I could put it back on my phone before giving it to the service).

Obviously, my phone is not rooted currently, so I cannot use soft like nandroid to do the backup.

So the question is simple: how can I do the ROM backup before actually rooting the phone?

In fact, I've read a little about that.. But never find a straight-way tutorial/answer/confirmation that such operation is even possible. The only hint I found was that you can copy the whole /system directory from your device and make a system.img file using mk2yaffs util and copied files. I was thinking that making a ROM backup this way can be checked using Emulator from Android SDK by copying recently created system.img file to the specific AVD directory and running emulator.. so I've tried that - but emulator was hanging on the start-up. So actually I do not know if this is a good approach to do what I want.

I would be really thankful for any hints on this topic. I'm pretty sure that with a such community like on xda-developers we would manage to do this. :)

Best Regards,

Bart

P.S. It's my first post here, so by the way I'd like to say Hello for everyone!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ik Desire:
Welcome. Backup before root is not possible atm afaik. But if you download the ruu for your current provider, you can use that to restore your phone if some things go wrong. It won't help if you brick your phone though, but there are other solutions, and much help here for that.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] s.watling:
hi my screen wont come on on a htc hero!! the phone is on and my pc recognises my htc being in adb bootloader the phone has a light on to say its charging but everything else seems dead now there is no data on the phone i want to keep, but i would like to get it working and i think i need to install the firmware again but i have to do it using fastboot can anyone help me?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HomerSp:
Are you using official 2.1 or a rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
When in fastboot, check what SPL/bootloader version you have. That tells us what we can do. Likely (if it's 004), then you can simply

fastboot boot AmonRARecovery1.7.0.1.img (or whatever you call it) and get your recovery image booted. From there, flash a ROM, and reflash recovery using the adb command "adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" after putting recovery on there.

Check bootloader version first though
[Hero, G2 Touch General] s.watling:
how do you check the spl/bootloader version as i have absolutley no display on my phone!!

what do i type in termainal
[Hero, G2 Touch General] s.watling:
i was using modaco custom firmware but would ideal like to get it back as standard uk orange!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Right, get a recovery image, and try to fastboot it, and just see if it works.

If you don't see the spl though,then I think you have a hardware issue.

You could also try an RUU.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] s.watling:
hi i have a nandroid backup of the phone in fastboot i can flash the boot.img the data.img but when i try flshing the system.img it says remote data length is too long

[Captivate General] Kaik541:
If you're not satisfied with the current rate of development, feel free to put together your own rom or even contribute to current development. The phone is what, two, three months old? Some phones didn't even have root methods for that long. If you wanted an att device that had a background of strong community hacking, should have gone with an htc device. The method of building roms on this phone is massively different and requires time to get everything sorted. And I'm willing to believe a lot of devs are waiting fur for the 2.2 source

[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I think you are taking this entire thread the wrong way.

I think the OP is trying to say that he has done all he can, where is something new? More things to play with.

Nowhere did he belittle or offend anyone. Nor was anything implied.

I have had my phone for 7 weeks - I want to see even more new ROMs -but in no way am I saying anything about anyone. I can't wait for the first Cyanogenmod either - I am impatient, just like I was when waiting for the Captivate launch day.

+10 on the "lighten up Francis"
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
Looks to me like you are a good candidate to get in the kitchen and start cooking. That way you don't have to wait around for the roms and we can all play.

I don't think it's a matter of lightening up, I agree the op surely said "where are the roms?" That could have ben interpreted more than one way, which it was. Coming from the op of the forum nazi thread, sounds like you have plenty of time to start cooking and stop whining
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Thanks.

Make a lighthearted post and get your throat jumped down. I thought Dealdatabase.com was elitist. This place is much worse it seems.
[Captivate General] Corriewf:
Hey gunny, I know how you feel. I too am a bit bored. The rom development is great so far but that's starting to reach it's limit with what devs can do while we wait for froyo. I would love something new to play with. Maybe flash or some awesome game to come along that really pushes this device. Gps fix from sammysung would be nice. I could drive around using that to kill some boredom. :)

Anyway, props to the devs. Thank god we have some good ones. I would have been bored weeks ago without and with a laggy phone on top of that.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I understand both sides but unfortunately unless you know how to dev we all must be patient. These guys have done very good work and so far it is right on par with the Vibrant, and we all know T-mobile has many more dev's to work on ROMS. With more time will come better products, and all Galaxy S phones will be waiting for a while for 2.2. If Cyanogen comes out soon it shouldn't be hard for Eugene or someone to make a port of it, even if Eugene does not own a Captivate.
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
There's no need to fight guys, in all seriousness we have the best touch-screen phone on the whole market!

Gorgeous screen, specs, and soon to be a great international community of devs with the whole family of galaxy s line sharing ideas and accelerating the growth of development at a great pace.

Not to mention the soon to be implemented froyo that will not only introduce optimizations and flash, but also allow for a greater use of the phone's potential- spec wise.

Take into consideration the further development after froyo + full lag fix + a COMMUNITY effort of collaboration and I see a really bright future ahead of us.

Personally I LOVE my phone, it does everything I want it to do (I multi-task like a beast!!) BEAUTIFUL camera software.. I painlessly take panoramic shots! What more can you ask for?

Yes some high quality games compared to that of the iphone would be great, but the anti-piracy measures are not on par with the iphone at the moment, so we'll have to wait a little for the big-name app/game developers to step in.

I for one am enjoying the calm before the storm. That is, before froyo and CM6.1 are released, and all the subsequent hacking that will go with it.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
I don't know what you mean by "all of my posts recently have had attitude." I generally answer any questions asked and follow it up with any advice I can offer. threads like this where, even unintentionally, the OP is kind of being dismissive toward the excellent work Unhelpful, DG, eugene (and a slew of others who I have forgotten to name).

it'd be fine if he was just opening a thread to say "I'm excited for something new! can't wait for froyo! woo!" it's that the attitude of this is "I'm bored with all the work everyone else has done." especially when it's someone who doesn't contribute to development (not counting donations, I have no idea if he has donated) himself. I just want people to be grateful for what they have right now... there's no need a open a thread saying "I want more but I want others to do the work"
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Dude. Quit reading into stuff that isn't there. As for donated monies, I have indeed done so in the past. Lots. I HAVE NOT (REPEATING AGAIN) disparaged anyone or their work in my thread or any post I have ever made hear on XDA (feel free to search) If I am complaining about anything it's samsung, And YOU at the moment.

I'll say again then I'm done in this thread. Lighten up Francis.
