[Galaxy Tab General] italia0101:
What player are you using to get the multi channel audio to work?. handbrake doesnt let me just leave the video though, see i just want to change the audio to stereo and not touch the video
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
ffmpeg will probably do that. Have fun!
[Galaxy Tab General] MizGarfield:
I use the pre-installed video player and it plays .avi and .flv and .m4v. Do I have the only device that plays all the formats?
[Galaxy Tab General] nobnut:
No, mine does it also. We are the lucky ones ;-)

Sent from my Galaxy Tab using kung fu.
[Galaxy Tab General] mughalgxt:
To MizGarfield and nobnut, What TAb version are you using GSM or CDMA and what ROM and KErnel? Wanna make sure that this issue (multi Channel audio unsupported) is not ROM or VERSION related!
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Up until yesterday ive always drawn 3-4 bars at the least inside of my house. All of a sudden out of nowhere I cant get any bars. Its like theyll pop on and then just disappear really quick. Its made my data painfully slow and I cant figure out what the issue is. I've reflashed the radio and that didnt help. Made sure the network was set to CDMA... that didnt help. Im a little clueless here. And periodically itll pull up two or three bars and then almost instantly the service will die out altogether and an X will pop up where the bars normally are....then the process starts all over. WTF? Is this a network issue or is it my phone? I hadnt made any changes before I started experiencing the problems.

Odd thing is im at work right now and im getting stable bars just fine.:confused:
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
So 66 views and no comments... i guess im the only one to ever have this issue then.
[EVO 4G General] orris:
Sprint has been having network issues for a few weeks now in different markets and I'm sure you're being affected by it. Just give it a little bit and if it is still there in a week or two contact customer service. Hell, maybe even try now to see if they're actually having issues in your area so at least you'll know.
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
I love how people come here and post that they are having signal issues and data issues and they haven't called Sprint to see if there is an outage or issues in their area. The first thing I would do it restart my phone and call Sprint. Not flash a radio, try a different ROM...blah blah blah.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Or... maybe it didnt occur to you that calling to see if there were network issues was the first thing I did. You think id actually go through the trouble of doing all that over again without calling first? I guess I should've said that but c'mon lol...
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
tgruendler has a valid point. we can't assume anything. we get enough "noobs" here that unless you tell us what you've done, we assume you jumped straight to XDA without doing your due diligence. Perhaps those 66 views all thought the same, "this guy hasn't even contacted sprint. pass!" now that we've ruled sprints network out, now we can do something constructive.

what radio version are you running?
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I mean I hear you and all but look at my join date lol... im far from a noob I just dont post much. The really odd thing is I switched back to an older radio and the problem went away. I flashed the newer radio and it came back so im seriously wondering just wtf...

Im using the 1.34 radio and the problem is gone. Im just curious as to why the newer radio frizzed out on me all of a sudden since i've been using that one for like a month. I dunno but it seems like the issue is fixed for now.
[EVO 4G General] peekeesh:
i noticed this same exact issue when I installed fresh ROM. I know I installed the new radio back then as well. see my post:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaivish:
I have ordered a toshiba folio and will be receiving it today. I know it received a lot of bad reviews but i am still willing to give it a try. I have seen the viewsonic gtablet getting a lot of support here, and hardwarewise they are alsmost the same, the folio and the gtablet.

I was wondering if there is any hacker/dev here having the same type of interest in the folio as the gtablet?

I totally new to android hacking, have some experience with WM, ( not as a dev but as a crazy custom rom flasher on my omnia i900 :D ). I do own a HTC Desire, and so not totally new to android OS but as far as modding or hacking the OS, I am at the lowest level of the chain.

Is there anyone here involved in making the folio a better device? working on custom roms for it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nfy123:
Looks like the Advent Vega is out, might be worth having a look before you unbox the Folio.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaivish:
it seems everyone gave up on the device there.

i got mine today, been playing with it for a few hours, the battery died in around 3 hours usage. the build quality is really not bad IMHO. it actually feels good in the hands, probably a bit on the heavy side. hardwarewise its seems very very good, but my problem is that its extremely laggy UI. sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive, and the hardware buttons almost never work. i will keep it a couple more days then i guess will send it back.

its a very good piece of hardware, too bad toshiba neglected totally the software. this makes the device almost unusable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaivish:
the advent vega is almost the same as the folio, i doubt that it will be a better device out of the box.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] makakiel:
yeah you right! but! we need ppl to work and fix some bug!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kaivish:
i would do it, but i have no experience in prog/ linux/ android.:o

i was hoping more clever and experienced people here would have an interest in it and thereby give it some unofficial support here, but it doesnt look to be so.:(

Can anyone do this debrand? is there a guide?
[Omnia 7 General] aussieak:
I have a Carrier version of the phone and the only branding is a spash screen on start up. WP7 was desigined to be carrier free with no overlays. Most carriers will put a hub with there related software in it which you can uninstall or remove the tile from the home screen.
[Omnia 7 General] blackjackalmiaobo:
the problem is that with my H3G brand i can't change the mms'apn settings so i can't send mms

[Omnia 7 General] manny84:
Out of curiosity, why do people like to debrand their Omnia 7 phones?

People like to scratch out the branding, too.

Why?

:confused::confused::confused:
[Omnia 7 General] AF241:
Because..... Why do carriers like to brand the phones in the first place?
[Omnia 7 General] manny84:
'Because.....' isn't a proper answer.

Carriers brand their phones for marketing purposes, obviously.

Subsidized (cheaper w/ contract agreemnet) phones are branded, unsubsidized (full price w/o contract agreement) phones aren't.
[Omnia 7 General] AF241:
It wasn't meant to be a proper answer. All you had to do is just dig a little further.

Cheaper than w/o contract or not devices bought through carriers are individuals own property and the reason for subsidizing is to generate more sales of their own services and not for placing adverts on the devices. Some people do not feel comfortable advertising the carriers on their devices while they the carriers were not involved in the manufacturing of the actual device. eg. if I buy a discounted device from Amazon I wouldn't be happy if they stamp their logo all over the device unless they mention the reason they are giving the discount is for advertising the logo on the device before purchase.
[Omnia 7 General] iBuzman:
Maybe because "unbranded" NoDo update is being rolled out before the carrier versions? By running USAIP.pkg you can "trick" microsoft update into thinking you are in a region getting the unbranded update - as long as you are not carrier branded.
[Omnia 7 General] mancuk29:
question - I have just bought a omnia 7 off ebay which i thought was on 3 but its on orange ... ive bought an unlock code off ebay (had good feedback) which im sat waiting for patiently ..... question is if i debrand does this void the 2yr warranty ??? there is a company on ebay which ive used before and they will debrand the phone for you for less than £20 ..

tbh there isnt much orange blurb on the phone but i hate orange and they are slow in releasing updates ... i updated this afternoon to the feb update but no sign of the nodo update ...

[Omnia 7 General] Casey_boy:
We're not really sure, because you're flashing a legit Samsung ROM - just not the one it shipped with.

Gtablet and folio are out but they both have serious issues out of the box. i wouldnt count on the advent vega having better experience, but then again, i dont own a vega nor have i tried it. but do have a folio and i believe that its worth holding on to it, at least until next wednesday. :)

Just called Dixons/PC-World/Currys: they indeed sold-out as soon as the product came online, and they have no due date for stock replenishment, and no estimate as for when the device will be available in local branches. The Advent Vega can still be pre-ordered by phone, but with no guarantee of lead times (delivery is free, by the way).

“The first shipment of Advent Vega tablets was made available at the start of business today on the Currys and PC World websites, and sold out nearly as quickly as ‘Take That’ tickets. We are expecting more stock and bigger shipments over the coming days which we will be rolling out as quickly as possible to all our stores in time for the busiest Christmas shopping weekends in December, starting with Currys and PC World megastores at the end of next week.”

I hope a section for this device gets created soon on XDA. That'll put the hacking in a much faster pace.
[Vega General] Zebwen:
Can anyone confirm that this thing doesn't actually have an accelerometer? I've been combing over the specs but I can't find 100% confirmation anywhere. I have found a couple of review vids on Youtube that say that you can't use accelerometer in games that support it, but I can't work out if that is a firmware issue or the fact that it doesn't actually HAVE one?

It would be a HUGE shame if it doesn't, because other than that (and maybe the fact that it only has 512mb of on-board storage) it is a better device than the Archos 101. If it doesn't have a g-sensor, then I'll be getting the Archos I think.

EDIT: Just been looking through the user manual for the Vega, and I found this:

So... Any ideas why the sensor doesn't work with games? Is it simply sensitive enough to detect when you want to rotate the screen and doesn't have sensitivity in-between horizontal/vertical?
[Vega General] paulswift36:
I've got one!!!

I couldn't wait any longer and bought one from ebay, a little more than the shop price but not that much really overall. I tried the Archos 70 and found that very annoying so already had a list of things I wanted to check on this tab. I can confirm it's a very nice device. I have used Paul from Modaco's "upgrade" to get speed improvements and more importantly the market fix so everything working as it should. Flash is good (although needed a slight repair, very easy).

Most games are okay, web browsing is really nice. Its not laggy hardly at all and quick check on running apps sorts it out.

If you want me to try anything out please let me know and I'll give it a go. I'm a moderate hacker, used to rooting and upgrading roms to can do some more technical stuff if you need me to. Setcpu crashes but not surprising really. Ebooks are a dream on this size screen.

The bezel or edge is too thick at about an inch all around to make it a pretty device and its heavy but not as heavy as an ipad so no idea how they cope. I'm intending to use it more and more as a replacement for my netbook most of the time so will keep you updated.
[Vega General] Zebwen:
Finally someone talking about the Vega here! Most people seem to have jumped ship to Modaco :P OK so I have some questions:

How is the accelerometer? I have heard stories that it doesn't work/is buggy with a lot of games.

How is flash playback/games? I've seen a few vids and tbh it looks a little too good to be true (ie, working perfectly as if it were a netbook).

Are ALL market items available on the market? So paid apps etc?

Have you found it annoying not having a decent ammount of space on the device itself (the Archos has 8gb built-in, with an SD expansion slot. the Vega only has 512mb built in AFAIK so you are RELYING on the expansion slot for storage).

Do you know of an easy way to stream video (so you can see the whole library) from your PC to this device (as lack of storage would probably make it annoying to copy videos). Again, this is somethign the Archos can do out of the box (although with the latest update they appear to have broken it :P).

I'll think of more and shoot them at you!

Zeb
