[Touch2 General] blacksto:
hello, anybody tried to capture video on mpeg4 format for more than 10 minutes?

I have a 4gb class 6 microsd card, and I have been to a concert, and captured about 30 minutes of it, but as I downloaded the file to my computer I had this unpleasant surprise to find out that after about 8 minutes and 20 seconds only the video goes on without audio from the rest of it :(. please if you had this issue and solved it somehow, I am awaiting for advices, maybe a new program to capture with ? I was untill now very satisfied with this phone even that I had it already repaired (digitizer problem, newton rings or something like that, was changed in warranty), but I would like to solve this problem. Also I'm not sure I'm ready to change the ROM due to I have it under warranty.... thanks :confused:

strange.. just watched the movie clip on the phone and it has sound all the way to the end.. I must have some broken codecs maybe on my pc or something....

I see if I can deal with it I'll post a quick reply. thanx and sorry for nothing

Hi blacksto,

I dont know if this might help, but I faced this issue, when i had an HTC Touch GSM. In Touch when we record a movie clip & transfer the same onto PC there was no audio, surprisingly the clip worked just fine with audio on the device. You might want to check the ELFIN Forum to check if someone has faced this issue & has found a solution. I think when the file gets transfered to the PC via activesync, the audio part is either scraped or not transfered.

My Touch was stolen & I bought a Touch2. I have recored upto 5 mins of video & transfered it to my pc the clip is fine. I will try to run more longer clip & keep you updated on the outcome.

But it is my guess that this has nothing to do with either the ROM or the device. There may a middleware which converts the raw video feed into mpeg format, when it does it keeps the audio & video tracks apart (i dont know why). When we transfer the same onto some other machine only the video part gets transfered.
[Touch2 General] derdepp:
Did you download the file using ActiveSync?`Could be some sort of converting error...
[Touch2 General] blacksto:
I don't remember but now I will try to copy it using mass storage, be back with more info.. sorry for late response, I have been busy lately

Hey,

just wanted to know if anybody is able to port the great Taskbar from the MIUI ROM to a Sense-ROM. Neo managed to make the taskbar transparent already, so I think there is a way.

Thanks in advance guys!

Best, jakob

I have had a quick look around and am unable to find anything on this so i am assuming that my phone is not right.

Basically when i plug the micro usb into the bottom of my desire it seems very loose ie i can wobble it side to side and it still has about half a mm of metal visible. Any for of weight (even just the weight of the cable itself) it falls out. Other than this it works fine it charges and transfers data ok. Is this just a bad design or should i get my phone repaired.

Also does anyone know how long it takes for a repair with htc?
[Desire General] pr1z:
I have been through no end of cables/adapters ... try replacing the cable before sending the phone off :-)

Priz
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
I had the same issue. I have since replaced the cable with a 'generic

one and all seems fine.

As above - try a new cable, first. ;)
[Desire General] lumpaywk:
Thankyou for the advise. Its good to know its not just me thats had this and a simple fix cold be the answer. I should be able to sly another cable from around work and give it a try.
[Desire General] spritable:
My cable is loose also. It happened when I by mistake kicked the cable while the phone was charging. It ended up on the floor and after that the cable is loose. I will probably buy a new one.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I think it is rather obvious that our problems with the X10 and SE can be attributed directly to SE UI's. If SE are not able to get their UI's stable enough to run with native Android revisions couldn't SE scrap them all together? Or, at least release their products native and offer their UXP down the road when they have been able to get what ever they add to run smoothly enough with current OS and features.

3rd party add-ons are ruining the Android experience. In it's current form I do not see any advantage to Android or SE. And, I am hoping now the WINMO7 will be great; since I am confident that my next device will not be Android or SE. I understand that this is not Googles fault, but as the end user suffering through the X10's lag, bugs, closed platform, lack of control ability, and lack of timely revisions (or any revisions for that fact), where is the Android advantage?

Right now it is the companies that have partnered with Google on Android who might wind up being responsible for Android's eventual demise.

I guess the only thing we can do is hope that rumors about Gingerbread not accepting 3rd party UI's is true. If not I can not see Android being anything more then 3rd rate in the future.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Are you still trying to flame-bait?

If all a company had to offer was the same stock experience as everyone else, it wouldn't have a product to market. Why do you think every major manufacturer has their own custom UI on top of Android?

I agree that a small, niche market for stock Android exists, but it won't be enough to carry a company's sales.

It's incredibly simple marketing.

Also, I find it incredibly telling that you've chosen to ignore the six or seven firmware updates the X10 has received.
[XPERIA X10 General] xeviro:
If Android is not accepting 3rd party UI, then i throw Android away.

Having many selection that differentiate you and the other, that is the beauty of it man. One of the major turn off of iPhone for me is there is only single product, none offers with keyboard, same color, the UI is also is all the same. Like there is no difference between my iPhone and everyone's iPhone.

And i think the future of UXP is very bright compared to other Android device. When you pick up Samsung Galaxy S and play it side by side with your X10, you will know immediately which one is better.

Anyway, the point is full experience customization is a really wonderful thing to have.

That's why i choose to buy X10 and still prefer to use it even though its still 1.6. In my office desk i have a lot of other Android phone i can take for personal usage. Nexus One, Motorola Milestone and also Samsung Galaxy Spica, LG GW 620.

Most of them are faster and better then X10 in term of speed and because of Froyo, but whenever i take one home, i end up using X10 instead.

So conclusion its SE DEV fault that the update is delayed, but full 3rd party customization is the best thing you can have in your smartphone.

Hell, my friend is keep on whining that his iPhone doesn't have Swype and also complains about iPhone keyboard auto-correct, while i can install any onscreen keyboard for Android.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Here is one of hundreds of articles I found related to Gingerbread. So obviously there are plenty of people who see the OEM added skins as much of a problem as I do. And, from my personal experience with the X10 this hits the nail on the head.

http://www.dailytech.com/Android+30+Gingerbread+Launches+Q4+Will+Kill+Off+OEM+UI+Skins/article18897.htm

My user experience with the X10 has been anything but enjoyable. And, since this is my first and only Android experience it has left a bad taste in my mouth. I seriously doubt that I would consider another Android device without killing off OEM add-ons that interfere with OS revisions. Let's allow the manufacturers build the hardware and leave the OS's to companies that design it. Because it is all to obvious that SE for example do not know what they are doing when it comes to UI. Which is exactly why we are still waiting after over half a year for our revision.

This whole SE premise of them "improving the overall user experience" has seriously back fired on the X10.

If what is being said about Gingerbread is true I might consider giving Android another try. Though I doubt I would give SE another go.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
"The wealth of information was leaked by Mobile-review.com’s Eldar Murtazin in his Russian language/locale podcast "Digestiv.""

While the guy has a good track record, anything said about a non-existent OS can't be taken as fact.

Also, you seem to be the only person brutally raped by the X10 that, for some reason, keeps asking for more, soapfree. I don't understand why you post repeatedly about an OS and phone you claim to hate so much.

SE's UI is just a slap of blue over stock Android, with some widgets. Then you go and blame them when they want to make sure their update is bug-free (as it can be)? Would you rather they ship phones like the G2 that fall apart? Or that they ship 4 phones within two months that can't use GPS properly? SE's biggest problem is the in-call volume on certain phones is low and the Android version it's running is 1.6. There have been scattered reports of USB ports breaking, (probably more than G2's that are falling apart), and some issues that affect nearly all GSM/3G phones, namely APN and Network settings.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
The SE added UI is what has killed the X10. So if you are asking SE to listened to you they would go out of business within a few short years. As of today the iphone4 is the best device on the market exactly for the reason that the are no 3rd party skins. I am not saying that this will be the case tomorrow. But as of today right now it is.

Timescape is a marketing ploy with little to no user interface. And, because of it you can not get support for full flash capabilities; 2.2 native is 1000 times better. On the other hand I like Media scape. But that is just because I own my own media files. Is Media scape really that much better than native? Or is it that much better than third party soft you could find on your own in Android market or, something user created here in XDA; that is if the X10 was really an open platform? A software that would not prevent your device getting the latest OS the day it is released. SE's entire objective it to offer you their skins that will lead you to their OEM created after market for media (just like apple). However, there are only a dozen movies, games, and songs to download there. At least with iphone4 you have itunes. How could you possibly want that? That is pure madness man. And, you said "Anyway, the point is full experience customization is a really wonderful thing to have." Where is the full customization in the X10? The X10 is locked down with little to no customization. It is a joke and I just laugh harder when people keeping mistakenly claim that this device is anything but a closed platform.

I like competition that comes from a free market system as much as the next guy. But SE are adding their UI's to remove that competition, not to add to it. And, X10 users are guinea pigs whilst they work out the details. It has a long way to go. And, why make their current customers suffer before they have their market in place? They are still trying to negotiate with the entertainment industry for goodness sake. It is a long , long way off mate. So, if you think you are getting some kind of magical benefit from SE skins you need to have your head examined.

There would be plenty to distinguish one device from the next without OEM added non-sense. Besides hardware (which SE also do not manufacture themselves), there is Android market. OEM's that want to stand out for the right reasons will need to start being true manufacturers and not simply some design company slapping together the same pieces of plastic everyone else is using and than adding some cheap skins that either don't even work right, or are simply a gimmick.

All these things that people use to criticize Apple for are what most users are really getting in non-apple phones. You are getting screwed by SE and lack the understand to even know that it is happening. I find that comical.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Just because you make a claim here in your post that the only thing bugging on the X10 is call volume does not make it so. There are plenty of bugs in this phone. SE added UI skins being the biggest one driving away customer right now. And, a whole host of others. But this thread is not about the X10's call volume, or screen lag, or battery life, or wifi, or any other bug. It is about the UXP, SE -vs- native, so let's try to stay on point. But if you want to start a thread about X10 bugs I would be happy ot contribute :p
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I am quoting you twice because I would like to put this into perspective.

Xerviro says if if there are no OEM UI skins he would chuck the phone in the trash. You say the UI's are simply color schemes!

Why don't you both simply consider the iphone4 a different option with a different color scheme. Only one other difference. Theirs has itunes market and no 3rd party added UI skins getting in the way of updates whilst Android come out with a new OS every other week.

try to be at least remotely objective. Or, at least try to appear so.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
UI = User Interface

"In computer science and human-computer interaction, the user interface (of a computer program) refers to the graphical, textual and auditory information the program presents to the user, and the control sequences (such as keystrokes with the computer keyboard, movements of the computer mouse, and selections with the touchscreen) the user employs to control the program."

The UI is the menu system, the home screen, app drawer, notification bar, ect.

You're talking more about Widgets and Apps like Timescape and Mediascape. There's a deliniating line. HTC's Sense and Samsung's Touchwiz are UIs because they take over how you interact with the phone. Timescape and Mediascape don't add anything to the basic User Interface. That is to say, if you removed them, the phone would act exactly the same. SE has failed miserably in making Timescape a UI. (Like the fact that the Timescape interface is not default when you turn on the phone).

Also, I want evidence of a new Android OS every other week. So far, in 2010, we've received minor OS updates 2.1, 2.2, and 2.2.1. Not exactly "every other week", or Operating Systems, seeing as we're currently in October. Edit: In comparison, Apple has released more firmware updates, and has it's flagship product still running on a version released over a year ago.
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
As I understand it and as another article (i can't remember where) says, Gingerbread doesn't prohibit third-party UI's, it just offers a UI which in their opinion makes them unnecessary. IF a phone company decides to change the UI nonetheless, it can still do it. How would you ban third-party UI's anyway since Android is completely Open Source?!

Edit: ah, here is the article i mentioned: http://www.intomobile.com/2010/06/16/android-to-focus-on-user-experience-with-gingerbread/
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Android coming out with OS updates every few weeks has certainly put front and center some issues. I appreciate they are trying to get improvements of their product to the customers as quickly as possible. That is great service. What the end users are experience as a result of their improvments is simply high lighting a problem that has been around longer than they have.

And, that is the OEM UI skins. Which tend to be a gimmick that are not improving the over all customer experience in the slightest. This problem will most likely be less obvious next year when Android slow down the number of revisions they issue. However, unless something is done to block OEM UI add-ons it will continue to be a problem. People will always be frustraited waiting for OS revision and new features whilst the OEM's get their UI's to run smoothly with the next OS. By the way none of which is open source. It is all propriatary in nature.

This entire problem is created by the companies that have partnered with Google to support Android. And, SE is the worst offender. X10 customers are unfortunetly experiencing the most extreme case of this issue.

Until either Gingerbread, a newer Maemo, or winmo7 come out the safest device to own right now is the iphone4 to avoid these issues and the problems that come with it. It either has every single feature available in every our device on the market or offers a fair alternative. Without 3rd party add-ons deminishing the over all user experience. Come summer 2011 maybe this will no longer be true. But as things stand right now Android stink, for no fault of their own.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
They would do it contractually. Open source is meant to be open source to the end user. And, not for the OEM to close with ridiculous UI's that offer no real end user benefits. The X10 is Android and it is NOT open source. So as things stands such much for the open source arguement.

I saw what you are saying about the android created UI's too. We can only hope. But as things are now Android will go out of business. Driven there by their own partners who were supporting their plat form.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You're the wordiest troll ever.

2010:

Android version 2.1 - January 12

Android version 2.2 - May 20

Android version 2.2.1 - October 1

Please, please, please tell me how five month gaps qualify as "a few weeks". Not to mention 2.2.1 is just bug fixes.

What is proprietary? The OEM's UI? Well no duh! If HTC's Sense UI was Open Source, anyone could download it to their Android phone, and thus, defeat the purpose of selling phones based on uniqueness.

I really don't understand what your argument is here. Do you hate customization? Do you love customization? Do you hate open source? Windows Phone 7 and iOS4 seem to be up your alley. Leave Android to the people who like to tinker around.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
Do you know the meaning of any word that you post on here?

Open Source has nothing to do with the end user in this case. Please educate yourself: http://arstechnica.com/old/content/...se-the-apache-software-license-over-gplv2.ars
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Trolling is what you are doing on this thread.

Obviously I was exaggerating the the number of updates to high light the point; but you already know that. So no need to comment on your flaming.

When SE closed Android 1.6 they made it proprietary. Hence it is no longer open source. That means it is CLOSED and no different from winmo or ios.

Since the X10 is C.L.O.S.E.D and N.O.T open

there is little to nothing customizable about it. Absolutely ZERO difference with an iphone4. Except at least with an apple you have itunes and the latest OS and features. With the X10 you have to deal with the interference from yhe OEM add-ons that accomplish nothing more than you could have already gotten from native android. And, you do not have the latest feature which the X10 does not support.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
The article you are included is absolutely correct. However, open source for software developement is not what I am speaking about and is a completely moot point as this is a total seperate topic.

Though, I think this could be a good topic for you to start in your own thread. I would be happy to contribute to this topic as well.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
So changing the entire home screen interface is "not customizable"? Adding any widget you can think is "not customizable"? Changing the on-screen keyboard to be anything you like is "not customizable"? Changing the lock screen is "not customizable"? Changing the default program for anything is "not customizable"? Can you do any of that with an iPhone? The only customization you get on the iPhone is wallpaper.

Hell, I have an iPod touch, and I'm artificially not allowed to update to the latest firmware. The internals in the first gen touch, first gen iPhone, iPhone 3G, and second gen iPod touch are all the same. Apple just says "Sorry, buy a new iPod".

Every commercial Android product is "closed", because the OEMs have added their own value-add to the base code to market it to consumers.

I'm trying really hard to play nice, but, when you say such silly things, it's really really difficult.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Like I already stated I was simply exaggerating to express a point. This point hand absolutely nothing to do with a specific time line on Androids side.

But since you bring it up, let me explain my same point in your own terminology.

Android come out with an update every five months. But it take SE 12 month's or more to engineer their UI skins to the newer OS before it is released to the end user. And, this isn't even counting any extra time certain service providers might want to add their bit.

Well you and I just explained the exact same thing two different ways. So thank you for helping me make my point. I still think I already made it on my own, but thank you just the same. :D

Edit- Customization is the ability to first change the devices behavior. My X1 is by far more customizable than the X10. Heck my P910 was more "customizable" than the X10
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Have to agree with iead.. Although I have no real experience of winmo, android on the x10 is massively more customizable than ios. There really is no comparison on this point they're so far apart..
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Well, first let me say that my thread is about 3rd party UI's -vs- native android. So if we could start to return to the subject it would be appreciated.

As for your comment. I am listening to how you precieve the X10 as being more customizable than any other device. You mentioned ios, Please tell us what you find less or more customizable about either, feel free to be absolutely specific? Oh yeah and which model you had?

As for everyone else could you please get back on topic. If there is demand for the customization iead could start that topic too. I will happily come contribute.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
You're talking about customization of the UI by OEMs as it relates to Android, are you not?

Stock Android is not a selling point for most major OEMs. Why? Because they don't have anything to differentiate themselves with.

I feel like I'm just repeating myself, only to have you reply with "Stop going off-topic". (Also, I have already provided a list of customizations possible with the X10 that aren't with any model iPhone, iPod, or iPad.)
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Ok, an answer, finally, thank you. I disagree with your opinion.

As for your list that I have never seen why don't you start a topic about it and I will contribute to your thread. The question was for ice_man, unless you are he?:confused:

I have a question for you about limiting customization in term of how it relates to being effected by OEM skins.

How many different program are available in itunes -vs- Android market?
