[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shad0wboss:
Well i was searching in google about my mobile specs and came across this website.

http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/Installing_the_Motorola_SDK_Add-on/

Not sure what SDK is, what i know is that SDK file i basically a format for different OS like linux and windows?

Need some information about it and if it's possible to install a different OS on my cellphone how can that be?

If i repartition does that mean it will format the internal sdcard back to rfs regardless if i have used voodoo lag fix, or do i still need to disable voodoo lag fix first?

Not to be rude but is there any value of the poll?

Since this is an Desire forum. Most people here would pick the desire.
[General Questions and Answers] openbook:
The poll is just to know how comfortable are the users with their Phones.

Your point # 2 is true but let us see how it goes.

But people having a HTC Desire might have used another android earlier/now or would have compared with their friend's phone.

My Opinion: I like Leedroid 2.2F it was stable since their is no update for more than a month i moved to AuraTsense 8.1.4 for a change and also it supports data2ext.

[Epic 4G General] Dante of the Inferno:
So I just got the new Epic from Sprint, and I just put on some videos. All of them work, EXCEPT FOR ONE.

I had recently created a video using Adobe Premiere in CS5. It output to MP4 with AVC/AAC (LC) codecs. It plays fine on my computer, my Samsung TV, and even my Samsung Blu-ray player (they all have USB ports for digital media), but no luck with the phone. The phone says displays "unsupported file type," and promptly returns to the gallery.

I have looked at the posted file and codec support, and so I converted copies of the original file to:

MP4: H.264, AAC

MKV: H.264, AAC

DIVX: AVI, MP3

But they all yield the same disappointing result: "unsupported file type." What else could I possibly try to make this play?

P.S. The supported file and codec list that I found is located here (apparently, I don't yet have enough posts for the site to let me link to the rest of the internet):

*ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us.jsp?SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=0&AT_ID=316039&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=559&EMAIL_ID=*
[Epic 4G General] LucJoe:
Go to the market and download RockPlayer
[Epic 4G General] Dante of the Inferno:
Technically, the player was successful in opening the video, since it has a choice of "software decoding" and "hardware decoding" mode. "Software decoding" mode made the video lag the audio big time (>1 sec into playback before lag started). Selecting "Hardware decoding" mode for the file returns the error "This file cannot be played with System Player." After some digging on the company's website, it says that the "software decoding" mode can play just about anything, and while the System Player integrated into Android itself can only play a limited list of files, the System Player can use hardware acceleration.

So the question of the day becomes, is there a media player app that doesn't rely on the System Player for hardware acceleration?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Rockplayer is it...

What is the resolution of your video? 1080p? 720p? (1080p wont work from what I hear..even though Hummingbird does support it :/)

Also, is your audio 5.1? try removing the audio from your file and see if the video works.
[Epic 4G General] Dante of the Inferno:
Yeah, the video was coded into 1080p. The software decoding mode will play it, but it lags a lot. If Hummingbird CAN handle the hardware decode, then my issue is with the Android System Player's ability to use the hardware, right? If so, is it that Android doesn't like 1080p period, or is it a matter of using a separate program that CAN use the hardware effectively?

The audio plays without a hitch. It's coded for just simple stereo.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes the 1080p is your issue..software decode is always a lot slower..while the Hummingbird does support 1080p, either Samsung did not include the drivers to make it happen or it is an Android limitation I am not sure...but its 100% in the Hummingbird specification..so its not impossible... just someone has to figure out how lol

For now your best bet is to re-encode it to 720p and you will be fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzyla:
hi guys,

I started having this problem last friday.

I had my omnia 7 synced with windows live - i keep my emails, contacts and calendar there and sync it live with my phone.

Last friday suddenly all of my contacts have dissapeared from people hub (ok, not all - facebook contacts where still there, but all of my live contacts (800 positions) was gone!!!

It is stil available on my live account, but it just doesnt sync contacts with my mobile anymore.

When you go to accounts it says there is some problem and it keeps trying to sync but no luck.

It did happen to me on wm6.5 and gmail sync before - but there i could do resetup - disable syncing, clear all sync options and enable it again - it used to solve wm6.5 problem but does not help with current issue.

anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I just did phone reset and configured everything again - still no luck with hotmail contacts ;( everything else from live syncs well...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wspaw:
That's a new one...

First I've heard of such an issue. Pretty strange, actually.

Couldn't find any info on the Windows Live site. Your carrier tech support might be a good option.

Good luck.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzyla:
hmm I don't think it's operator issue.

Even when I restart the phone from factory settings and work on wifi only the problem persists....

Depending on which account I choose in email&accounts settings I manage to sync different parts of information like my live profile picture, my hotmail emails are being synced but not the contacts.

I have 828 contacts in my live account, but when I go to SETTINGS\EMAIL&ACCOUNT I see LIVE connection greyed out and synchronizing.

it keeps syncing contacts it says, but something must be wrong as it never stops (it goes far beyond my 828 contacts - wright now it says it is sycning contact no 15498 )
[Fascinate General] chlrbwls:
Hi guys, thanks to those out there i have successfully installed DJ05 modem and rom on my fascinate.

However, i have questions on how the GPS is actually fixed..

Before the update, i have had 1second lock on on my GPS with wifi GPS both on..

However, i had thought that the upgrade was going to do this without the WIFI...

I dont know if this is the case for the rest of the fascinate owners out there.

Could any of you please provide me the insight as to what i might have done wrong?

In my method of installing i didnt delete cache because i didnt bother backing up my applications..

anyway

my step was:

1. install modem through odin,

2. install rom and kernel through recovery mode

Please help me out

Thanks again.
[Fascinate General] Falcyn:
The reason GPS seems to "lock on" instantly when connected to (some) Wi-Fi hotspots is because the location of that particular hotspot is already known by Google.

DJ05 fixes the 5-10+ minute lock ons that many people suffered from, but you shouldn't expect it to give you instant lock-ons. There are a *lot* of variables that can affect how long a GPS lock takes, so depending on your location and surroundings, lock-time can still vary significantly. Mine's taken 30 seconds to a minute for an accurate position sometimes. Other times, it's taken 5 seconds.
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Mine still sucks :( when I flash new kernels it seems to work better for a bit then stops completely.

I have tried just about everything and still no go :(

So I just did it and it took 4 minutes. My d1 would do it in 10 sec so did my DX.

But it did get a pretty accurate reading lol :)
[Fascinate General] nmyeti:
Keep an eye on your GPS icon. Every so often for me it doesn't change into the "getting signal, or GPS lock" icon when i boot into maps. When this happens i get crappy lock or it takes forever to get a lock. This doesn't happen often, but when it does a reboot will cure it.

I'm sure that one of the reasons whey we've not seen DJ05 officially from VZW is because it's not perfect. I'm guessing this is part of the "not perfect" that kept them from pushing it OTA. Either way, it's a HUGE improvement over what we had before and over just about every other Galaxy S phone out there.
[Fascinate General] chlrbwls:
I see..

well when i am on the navigation app by google,

i have it on the bottom saying that its still searching for gps for a quite a while.

I think it doesnt show my location uner 1 minute.

I guess there isnt foolproof workaround for the GPS yet.

I guess ill keep my hopes up for something better later.

Thanks again for all the replies

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitchellvii:
That seems to be the chief argument between using AOSP vs Sense. Now that many of the best AOSP features have been made available in Sense roms (Contacts, etc), why go AOSP at all if it means giving up 4G (at least for now)?

Well, I have tried out a number of the most popular AOSP roms and as well as the most popular Sense roms. IMHO, AOSP does feel a little quicker. Also, AOSP roms seem to leave more customizations to the user than Sense roms do. Not sure if this is the choice of the developer or a limitation of Sense.

So, if AOSP is indeed faster than Sense (I am assuming because of the Sense overhead), is it "faster enough" to give up 4G? If not having 4G reduces the user experience by 20%, but AOSP isn't 20% faster, then is it a fair trade? However, if you are a person who simply cannot be happy unless their rig travels at optimum speed, maybe it does make sense. Or, if like me, it is rare you are actually anywhere that 4G works even on a Sense rom, losing 4G has less sting. In other words, I use the AOSP speed all the time - I would only use the Sense 4G occasionally.

I would be interested in hearing from developers if AOSP is indeed faster, why it is faster and by how much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I am not a dev but I can tell you for sure that AOSP feels a ton snappier, more responsive, and is just all around faster. I have been running MIUI for a month and the other day I TRIED to go back to a sense ROM so I could use 4G for tethering my iPad. I flashed Fresh, which used to be my favorite ROM, and then tried MYN's... I got so frustrated with how sluggish they were compared to MIUI that I said **** it, screw the 4G and restored my MIUI nandroid after 3 hours of messing around with the sense ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] todah09:
Well I like em both for different reasons.but, I've had 4g for a couple months. Until they get 4g on asop.then I'm a stay with sense......with a good signal 4g is the bizniz!

sent from a terminal in the nightlands!!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jxr94:
To be completely honest, these new sense roms (not hd) that have been tweaked and optimized are extremely fast and responsive. At this point in my testing AOSP still has the edge when it comes to speed, the difference isn't as drastic as it once was. I occasionally switch between cm6.1 and azreal's rom and the only reason is for when I feel like I want sense. 4g is available where I live, but sometimes the pages wont load all the way and it just acts weird so its hit and miss for me. When it does work though it is a big advantage. Soon it wont matter since cm and his team are getting closer to having that work. So my suggestion is to pick the rom you like and find out if it is optimized (sense roms) or go with the unrestrictd feel of aosp. To answer your original question, yes AOSP is faster but not by that much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Here's a very quick and easy way to figure it out:

On Windows Vista/7, is it faster if you turn Aero off (AOSP), or on (Sense)?

Sure, it's prettier with it on, but faster with Aero off.

It's essentially the same thing with Android: It's prettier with Sense on, but faster with it off (aka, AOSP).

Hi, I have been flashed the CM6.1, and just now i tried to use root explorer to install some modded widget by the putting them in system/apps method. But it doesn't work anymore. After i have put the .apk there, i go to the add widget page and i can't found that specific widget. It works perfectly when i am using my stock 2.1 rom. Can anyone give some possible solution? Appreciate it so much !
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Beackman:
Do you set the permissions correctly?

Do you restarted the phone after past the apk in system/app?

I guess you have to reboot and then click on the apk through root explorer and select install also before they appear on the menu.

Oh yes. You guys have figured out the problem. I didn't set the permission correctly therefore it doesn't work.
[Droid X General] crobs808:
I am trying to figure out why my DroidX will not charge fully all of the sudden. I plugged it in yesterday to a wall charger for about 2 hours when the battery was at 50%, can back after 2hrs, and it was still at 50% even though it showed the charging icon the whole time. I rebooted it, and plggeed it into my computer's USB port, and set the USB option to "Charge only". Came back this morning, after it sat there for 6 hours and same thing - it is just maintaining the current battery level, but not charging it higher.

I have only owned it for a week, and the only change between now and when it was charging properly was that I installed a wireless tethering app, however, that runs on demand, and it has not been open or running. WiFi and GPS are also completely turned off.

Anyone else experienced this? I assume unless I keep it plugged in 24/7 now, it will eventually die all the way down!! :(

p.s. - I also tried letting it charge while it was completely powered off, but same thing. Shows that it is charging but just maintains current level.
[Droid X General] gmenfan83:
this is not normal ,while in the wall charger it should charge all the way and the same on usb but just slower ,if this problem persist i would bring it to VZW and get a knew batt or phone or both since you have only had it a week
[Droid X General] BBJohnnyT:
It may not be the phone or the battery. It's probably a faulty DC adapter which is not delivering the proper amperage. I just had this problem with my Slingbox. It would light up but the lights looked dim and I couldn't connect to it. A new adapter fixed it.

(Edit) I just reread your post and noticed you are charging it on your PC's USB port. Try the wall charger or another PC. Some PCs don't put out enough juice to charge.

Sent via XDA App on my Droid X
[Droid X General] Liquidretro:
This is somewhat true. The phone should charge with less power regardless of the source. You notice this most on say a USB hard drive and this is why you have y cables sometimes on the drives that take more power. Does the computer you happen to be charging it on happen to be a Laptop?
[Droid X General] crobs808:
FYI - I charge from a desktop PC that has a 1000W corsair powersupply and hig end motherboard.

With that asie though, I was able to get the charging back - works fine after I did a hard reset. Most everything was backed up via Google, so all I had to do was rearrange my icons on home screen and change a few android settings.

I still have all the same apps, so I do not know what caused it. Whatever, it is fine now, but if it happens again I will take it in - I do not want to have to hard reset every few weeks. (I have the $6 a month full protection plan, even if I lose it, it gets replaced)
[G Tablet General] Kazeari:
Hello Guys,

I have used both Vegant and Latest TNT 2.2 and both lag while I play 720P .mp4 encoded videos downloaded from youTube, I'd like to know if its a software or hardware limitation? Does anyone else have the same problem with 720 .mp4 files from youtube? Does it lag (as in audio and video lose sync - audio plays faster than video).
[G Tablet General] elitepsycho:
ive incoded some 1080p bluerays using handbrake normal preset H.264. container mp4 also had to do this with 1080p .mkv files couldn't even get them to play otherwise. after that they played great on my tablet
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The Tegra 2 chipset cannot handle h264 encoded as high profile. Main profile works fine. I know this confuses some people, but grab the excellent "mediainfo" tool (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en) and you can see how your file is encoded.

MP4 containers seem to work best, although I believe Rockplayer can play MKV's with hardware acceleration.

" i thank mdj for his work , this morning i noticed something that could explain the eratic battery drain of our device , when i was filming for a friend some configuration instructions ( which is by the way , by far simple than writing it ). the proximity sensor emits flashing lights permanently ( not seen by eye but only with the film) thing i could not reproduce on wm.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Macelangelo77:
You just might be on to something here...

I just tried this myself with the built-in iSight of my iMac. Apparently the proximity sensor is an infrared sensor, which uses ir light pulses to calculate distance.

Within Android it starts emitting pulses as soon as you unlock the phone. It stays pulsing until the phone falls asleep. So, that I can confirm.

Within Windows Mobile (see my WM ROM in my signature), it doesn't show up. However, I noticed, that my proximity sensor doesn't work anymore in WM. I don't use WM anymore, that's why I installed a minimal build.

Could someone check with a stock ROM when the proximity sensor is working (just keep it in front of your webcam to check). I suspect it only works when you're using the dialer, or when a call is in progress.

If the devs would be able to limit the activity of the proximity sensor to the dialer or use it in conjunction with the g-sensor, it might decrease the drainage.

Sincerely,

Mac
