Need help for audio transcoding for playing in SSGS

I have download some animation and try to play it with my SSGS.

the video play flawlessly with stock video player but the audio is missing.

I use mediainfo to check the file property and get the following.

and see the audio property it's just an 2CH ACC format which SSGS should support it. After that I try to transcode the file using media coder with copy video function and audio set to MP3 format. The result file still missing the audio when I play it in SSGS. Mediainfo show the following.

After that I try to transcode both video and audio and this time both video and audio work perfectly with SSGS stock player. The transcoding result is as follow.

Does anyone see any different that can make the audio not working in above file? Since I would like to transcode only audio because it's a lot more faster.

Hey guys,

Is it possible to make the default HTC touch input auto-correct and predict text within the default web browser? I use a stock ROM, don't want to root and don't particularly want to change keyboard (also have swpe but prefer default).

It's really annoying that the keyboard is so forgiving of mistakes and then when you get into the web browser you have to be exact. I'm sick of typing "Hrllo" or "wgats uo?"

Cheers
[Legend General] andrekua:
Use HTC IME MOD then. Its so much better.
[Legend General] jennan88:
Genius, worked perfectly. And, as you say, much better keyboard.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CEPi:
Hi all,

I'm torn between Desire HD and Galaxy S. Sure the SGS is older, no flash, gps bugs etc, but just had my DesireHD in my hand and it's way too big and heavy. Also review are saying poor battery life.

I don;t mind if i dont have the newest model, as SGS fits nicely in my hand, don;t care much about the flash.

Some questions:

1. Have the bugs been sorted for SGS i.e gps, lag etc with updates and custom roms here? I don't mind flashing as i have a TouchHD and i flash it often.

2. Do custom roms make it smooth and nice how it should be and based on peoples reviews here with Fixes many are happy with speed.

I know there's a lot going for SGS2 but don;t think that is coming anytime in next 6 months, which would give me plenty of tiem to accustom my self to Android from Winshite.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
1/ yes/no its not perfect for gps, lag is fixed with custom stuff

2/as per 1/ once fixed speed and all are pretty good

in a nutshell:

- gps isnt all that good even if its been vastly improved

- phone is very fast once fixed but battery life is slightly lower (should still be much better than the DHD in that area i guess..)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
HTC Desire HD has inferior GPU, camera recorder, sound quality, display, etc..

I would recommend to wait a little.. For *an official large scale* Froyo release because the current JP6 (which was official for Scandinavia) suck in terms of performance.

If you browse a lot this can be very annoying. Applied voodoo lag fix => didn't fix stalls (lag) problems (yeah wiped data/cache)

Cons Froyo:

- browser issues: high RAM/CPU consumption. sometimes the phone stalls just having the stock browser opened on background. other big problem is the HIGH memory consumption combined with even less free RAM avaiable in Froyo. Many times the browser got self closed (even when it was active, in foreground!!) and/or applications in background (even the stock launcher)

- performance of stock launcher is not good if you have some amount of apps installed (eg: slide between apps pages, helicopter view, etc.. doesn't matter if you use live wallpers or not)

- laggy swype

- lags when scrolling in call history (I think I've got >= 500 entries)

- cannot say to much about gps, yesterday was the first time I've tested it in car.. and my position was completely not accurate. it may be also the software (igo) which lags a lot on froyo (in eclair it was ok), hardly you can set your destination.. it lags in menus too.

- again, even less ram available

Android issues:

- slow code execution (apps load time)

- high memory consumption

That's because of the internal design of Android... running the apps in a JVM :(. Why not native apps like WebOS, Maemo?

Those are the main issues I personally found very annoying in Froyo.. If you don't browse, don't write with skype (haven't tested with samsung keyword), don't use/like touch wiz lauchen, then the phone is quite good in terms of speed.

@bilboa1 aren't you experiencing those issues? Swithcing to a FS doesn't fix the bugs in the apps..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] padlad:
I have had my galaxy s for a couple of months and flashed to JP6 when it was out, I used it for a few days and then flashed back to eclair due to the same issues as you mention. Not being able to have anything 'minimized' to the background while browsing due to the amount of memory being used was a no no! Anyway, I have been seriously considering the desire hd myself, but the battery capacity has so far really put me off, I barely get 8 hours of life out of my galaxy on some days, so on a hd, it would be less than that I suspect. I keep looking around xda for posts to convince me not to get a desire hd, its slowly working, but not quite yet. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
these are the fixes i applied for froyo which gives a (very) satisfying performance in my eyes:

(alls files can be found in the dev section)

- flash JM8 + 512 PIT

- flash JP6 + 803 PIT

- factory reset

- reboot in recovery

- flash ULF (universal lag fix)

- enable advanced lag fix ext4

- enable all tweaks

- enable BLN (backlight notification)

- enable root

- reboot - choose backup & restore (or not, since its factory, doesnt make a big diff), wait a bit

- copy battery mod for JP6 (version D for me) to /sdcard/

- copy stock android lock screen for JP6 to /sdcard/

- copy galaxy tab browser file to /sdcard/

- adb shell

$ su

# umount -oremount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system

# cd /system/apps

remove some useless samsung apps to free space

replace the battery graphics

# cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framwork-res.apk

do the same for lock screen, browser file.. (paths are specified, i don't remember them by heart)

# sync

# reboot

- in browser options, set the plugins to "on demand"

- in account sync options, disable auto sync (keep background data) - this alone doubles the battery life and doesnt make a real diff

- replace touchwizz by your launcher of choice, i personally use Launcher Pro Plus

- install "vignette" if you want higher quality pictures from the camera

about the gps:

- make sure you enable the function that let it use the wireless networks (agps)

- install compass and setup the compass as indicated when you start it, then quit

- enable sensors aiding for the gps, done

- it locks (very) fast

- its pretty accurate now

- it loses all satellites from time to time then relock so u lose a few seconds of tracking (the biggest/only real issue IMO)

enjoy ;)

ps: the difference with the DHD, except hardware differences, is probably that the DHD won't neeed nearly as much handwork to work "properly".....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DSF:
Thanks bilboa1 for your informative post but unfortunately this does not fix my problems.

I like TouchWiz launcher, it's very practical (used to be TouchPro fan too before :D). Actually I find Samsung software implementations more useful per-total than HTC ones (HTC Sense, yes, I've been an HTCSense user in past)

Also, I've read that the galaxy tab browser lib doesn't fix the problem with high memory consumption, so didn't bothered to overwrite the file.

Browser has already plugins on demand. It doesn't make a difference if it's off or on-demand (in my tests with high memory consumption)..

If I disable auto sync how do I get my gmail, twitter, etc automatically? I've accidentally disabled it and didn't get any mail, twitter, etc automatically.

GPS lock is fast.. but not accurate here. Maybe it was the software (iGo)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Depends if you want a phone that just works or do you like tinkering and chance of file curruption every 3 weeks. Sgs schocking battery problems once you install a lag fix. In my experience when using oclf the sgs uses 15% of power per HR at Max of 3hrs usage on 3G. If using voodoo lag fix then power drains at 20-30‰ and about 2hr's at 3G. If I was you I would wait for something better and forget the sgs ever existed. I have heard the epic 4G is a good device with non of the sgs problems but sadly it's a cdma phone. Also HTC seems to release roms more frequently and there's better support for them. Also doesn't the desire HD use 2nd Gen snapdragon? Means clock for clock they (g2 @800MHz is said to be as fast in benchmarks as 1ghz hummingbirds )are faster and also froyo is already optimized for it unlike our poor hummingbird cpus

If I could I would in a second swap my sgs for a HTC desire HD or HTC g2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
I have voodoo lagfix on eclair. My battery drains 1.3% per hour on standby with 3G/data/sync=ON and many widgets that update hourly like weather, stock, facebook, twitter.

Active use with screen on and internet surfing battery drain is about 23% per hour which is kind of normal. My Iphone 3GS/HTC Touch HD also drain around this amount during active use.

So those with huge drain, the problem lies somewhere else (not with lagfix)

Galaxy battery is not bad at all for heavy users. My phone uptime of 20 hours with 3 hours of active use + 1 hr of call+(sync/widgets etc).

Light use should last for 2 days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] G.Reaper:
Don't do it man, life's worth living!!!

Seriously though, I've tried every bloody fix out there, every last tweak for the last 3 months... And I'm selling this pos as soon as I find a good deal. Granted, sometimes it's fast, but then it crashes... Sometimes the gps works, But then it gets confused... The mic is total ****, but the screen is beautiful, so you have nice colours to look at while it randomly cracks out.

If you don't want to wait, get the dhd and a couple extra batteries. Or, for smaller hands just get a bloody iphone or one of the older desire variants.

This hardware's great, the dhd's is better... And the software works!!! Hear that samsung!? It actually works!!!... Aside from the proximity sensor...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CEPi:
Thanks a lot guys. Sorry to hear that basic problems are still persisting, even thought great effort has been made by community devs to iron them. I'll hold till next generation of phones come up in Q1 2011.

Cheers and good luck :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Only phone I'd currently recommend is the iPhone 4. The SGS is still having some issues and doesn't work right out of the box. Guess we'll have to wait for gingerbread in order to get a version of android that just works.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
I'm using stock kernel, no rooting, to lagfix, with latest available Firmware

I don't have any "lag" issue,

GPS works pretty good, fast fix, not that much "jerking around" and sharktooth when recording maps.

Camera is pretty much amazing, I can't realy beleive how much "night mode" works!

HD Video recording is pretty much tha bomb!

Works pretty sweet with my BlueTooth headset (S9-HD)

Gaming is amazing, fast and cool graphs!

it runs android, so you're not "controlled" by what the all mighty-all knowing Apple

So, I would definitively buy the same thing!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danamoult:
I don't know what some of these guys are talking about.

1. Have the bugs been sorted for SGS i.e gps, lag etc with updates and custom roms here? I don't mind flashing as i have a TouchHD and i flash it often.

GPS has not been 'perfectly' fixed. A lot of people report different results. It has never worked well for me. Fortunately, on a personal level, I have never become over-dependent on GPS and am generally good with reading maps. I can use the GPS to get a general fix of where I am and use my eyes to figure out where to go.

Aside from GPS however - I can't think of any bugs that haven't been fixed. Almost every custom ROM includes its own lagfix, all of which work perfectly. I use darkyy's ROM and it comes with Voodoo, which is absolutely brilliant.

2. Do custom roms make it smooth and nice how it should be and based on peoples reviews here with Fixes many are happy with speed.

Well, I kinda answered this above. The lagfixes are brilliant and do exactly what Samsung should have done themselves. My phone flies now without even needing a task killer.

--

I often say that I would always recommend one out of 3 phones to anyone that asks depending on how technical they are. If they are a casual user that likes the latest hardware and biggest screens - get the DHD. If they are also a casual user that perhaps would prefer a slightly smaller and more compact phone, get the Desire Z. If they are a techie and want the best of everything (minus GPSlol) - get the SGS.

You sound like a techie. Unless you absolutely need GPS, get the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamtheater39:
jp6 deodexed, zipaligned, 327meg kernel, advanced lagfix ext4, all tweaks.....gives me insane performance! applications load up instantly, its just as quick as it can ever get! no crashes no instability :)

just wished samsung would give us a stock rom which is as good as this!

GPS still sucks....little laggy, and sometimes inaccurate...not totally unusable though. samsung sure screwed up on the hardware, theres no doubt about that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] raf2k:
So basically SGS doesnt work correctly out of the box.

If I pay about 500euro for a phone, I definitly expect that it works flawless.

I wanted this phone badly, but after I have read all bad comments ill pass until they fix all bugs or maybe ill wait for another better Samsung phone (I love Super AMOLED)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rrralph:
i would go for the dhd...i have a sgs but to be honest its a great phone but samsung doesnt provide the support for their products...2.2 and a gps fix were supposed to come in september..then october...now november...the phone is only as good as the software on it, and while the sgs is a beast in terms of processor speed and screen, it lacks the support from samsung...it does lag, gps doesnt work at all for me....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
I don't really notice a very high memory usage on the browser, maybe i don't browse enough i don't know

when you disable auto sync you still get email automatically (and instantly, via push), for the rest it depends on the apps settings, in my case they all still go get stuff every couple of hours

what sync disable however is contact synchronization, account settings, calendars, and things like that (= things i rly dont need sync more than once a week or smth personally, but i can imagine some ppl need their calendar sync to the minute)

in general battery issues are due to bad software installed on the phone, stock sgs battery life is pretty much incredible in my eyes (the lag bug is also pretty much incredible :pp)

ps: if i were to buy sgs again i'd do it no doubt. i can understand the less technically inclined going dhd. not without its flaws but no such thing as "lag bug" crap to fix hehe
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
For some reason i thought the phone id cheaper than that.

Anyway the sgs is perfect. The gps is not as bas as people say. U can still get a lock on and go whatever u want. But honestly. I never tried the gps more thsn once to check if its working and its fine for me.

However. For games. For screen. Nothing and i mean nothing csn come close to sgs. Best screen hands down. Best gpu. All u need to is add voodoo or whatever ur like and ur ready to go. I love the dhd but i am a movie. Gamesband muic junkie. For that the sgs is perfect. Dont let the 4.3 screen fool u on dhd. Its almost the samwle quality as hd2 "there are videos in youtube as a proof even "

I say get what u want but for me. I love the phone for its performance and screen. And galaxy s is perfect

Hi,

I got locked HTC Wildfire. Is there any way to know what operator is the phone locked for?

I want to buy code (since j-tag pin out is still unknown) the provider wants me to send code of operator.

Thanks in advance.

[Wildfire General] xxxAzrealxxx:
If its locked to specific carrier the splash screen/boot animation when phones first booted/powered on should have providers logo.

Can anyone confirm if this is correct:

1. When my WP7 is attached to my PC and Zune is running, it will route all data requests to the internet via my PCs ineternet connection.

2. When my WP7 is attached to my PC and Zune is NOT running, it falls back to the phones 3G/Wireless connection?

Thx.
[HD2 General] TomGiggle:
I'm going on a 2 month trip soon, and will be taking my HD2 and my camera (nikon dslr).

I'll be wanting to upload photos as I go, via a wifi or cellular connection, and really don't want the weight or hassle of having to take a laptop when my phone should be able to do all that for me. Everything looks ok apart from the ability to get the photos from the camera ( or the SD card) to the phone. Using the HD2's camera isn't an option - it's not good enough.

What options are available for managing this? I'm thinking a card reader that will connect to my phone, or some way of directly connecting the camera to the phone.

A quick search of the forum didn't bring up anything, but let me know if I missed something that already covers this! :D
[HD2 General] cozzykim:
Use a microSD card and adaptor in your camera, then put the microSD back in the phone?

Or, alternatively, put the phone's microSD in the adaptor and put it in the camera if it has enough space on it?
[HD Mini General] kev_gordon:
My HTC HD Mini has stopped syncing Outlook notes for unknown reasons!

I am running Windows 7 / Windows Mobile Device Center, and Outlook 2007.

Everything used to work fine, and then one day when I connected my phone, I get the following error:

Window Title: Windows Mobile Device Center

Synchronization cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. Restart your desktop computer and synchronize again. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.

If I go into the WMDC "change content sync settings' and remove Notes from the list, I don't get the error.

Everything else seems to sync fine, it's just notes that causes the problem.

Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it, as I rely on my notes like I rely on my fingers, i.e. I use them ALL the time!

I've resorted to using a spare PC to sync my notes for now, but it's not ideal.
[HD Mini General] tzoller:
maybe you can delete partnership at all, then re-creeate new partnership ?

But.. make back-up to contacts and data first.. :mad:

brgds.

Yeah, I tried that already, but thanks for trying to help anyway.

I'm about to wipe the device, and then install the three updates from the HTC website. But I have a feeling it wont fix the issue....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
Hey guys, I'm new to posting, but I've referenced the site alot. Anyways, I rooted using unrevoked 3. Ran fresh by flipz for a couple weeks, then evio 2, all is well until now. Decided to download cyan 6 stable, thought it was awesome, but I like variety. Switched to fresh, no backlighting on the 4 bottom UI "buttons." I've unrooted my phone, wiped the SD, factory reset, re rooted, downloaded a rooted "stock Rom" and I still can't get the lights go come on unless I'm running c6. I'm losing it so if anyone knows what or where I went wrong, please post ASAP! Thank you so much in advance! I hope its something simple since I've gotten so many hours in over one problem. Ps. I'm a night owl, its 5:45am. So I definitely miss the backlighting lol. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
Did you make sure to do a full wipe before going from cm6 to fresh? Going between a sense and asop rom usually requires a wipe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
Yes. I went through the entire unrooting process again last night, installed a rooted factory Rom. Latest ota. Even the stock Rom didn't function correctly after full wipe factory reset and deleting all contents on my SD. I'm running Cyan until I find a fix bc it is really annoying. By full wipe. I use clockwork latest. Wipe data, factory reset, and Cache. And then advanced wipe dalvic. Am I missing something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pitbulledEvo:
Thanks for the effort this far. I just can't believe nobody but me has this problem. Cyan 6 has the on screen power widget. By default. I tried leaving that the same and flashing to fresh, tried to go into Cyan settings, all the lights are set. To zero by default, so I put those at 255 and wiped and flashed fresh, and other Roms still no lights or proximity sensor??
