[Nexus S General] nox0405:
I have try use rockplayer and other video player all fail to play,but i can play those video file on my dell streak.

I really find nexus s is really bad for play movies.
[Nexus S General] ommx:
have you try ArcMedia from Market? i'm waiting for my device to arrive, so i can test out
[Nexus S General] nox0405:
I tried everything none of video player work at all, i cant beleive google didnt support enough video codec in their Rom
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
thats a big licensing issue,
[Nexus S General] nox0405:
GOOGLE could add those codec into their Rom and it is not difficult for them
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
like i said, its a big licensing issue, and in the spirit of what they call "openness" they didnt
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Yes, it is difficult for them. As A Linux user, I can attest to this; proprietary/patented codecs cause licensing issues, pure and simple. Therefore, they can not be included in Vanilla (Open-Source) Android. And given that the point of the Nexus line is that they run Vanilla Android, you see the issue.

You can help solve this problem by converting your videos to open formats like Ogg Theora and/or WebM. That way, you can play your videos, and you help reduce the trend of technology being hampered by proprietary licensing. </rant>
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
i gotta ask, what distro you use
[Nexus S General] BlackOtaku:
Ubuntu mainly, with some Fedora on the side. :cool:
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
yay Fedora :P
[Nexus S General] DumbUglyDragon:
I just dragged and dropped a 4GB mp4 movie and watched it on the phone with no issue. Are you sure you video isn't using some other form of compression?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
remember .mp4 is just a container
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
So let me get this right ... there is no way to play divx / avi files even using 3rd party software?!
[Nexus S General] csmall:
They are currently working on making rockplayer work on the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] IDtheTarget:
I'm right now watching an episode of Mad Men that I ripped from my DVD using Handbrake on Ubuntu. It's an .mp4 container, and if I recall correctly I used H.264...
[Nexus S General] D_Rob:
.mp4 will play just fine, it can be a baunch of different ways though because thats just the container, best program I have found period is Any Video Converter Pro. Just select Mobile devices/ Google Phones/ Nexus One. Perfect fit to screen and great quality. All it needs to be to run great is .h264, AAC audio, 800 x 480, about 1200 bitrate for video and 160kbps for audio and it will look and sound stunning. Most video players except mVideo Player are broken in someway on the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] csmall:
Rocklplayer has been updated on the website but not yet in the market. It now plays an AVI file on my Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
That's good to hear. All in sync and with no issues whatsoever?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rise4310:
can anyone tell me how to move apps to sd2?

i've tried apps2sd and another market app but neither can complete the task. both alert me that some apps can be moved to sd but neither will actually do it.

is this something i should just do with esfile or something? copy and move?

also, i've been moving some music to my gtab via usb in folders. after moving to sd, i can't move the entire folder to sd2, i have to copy individual tracks. am i doing something wrong? i can't see sd2 from usb mass storage unless i'm more blind than i thought.

thanks!

did you check the md5 sum of the download? could be a bad download....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguyjosh:
no it didn't say anything. i hope it isn't a bad download... i downloaded it on a friends computer and it took forever. im using a mac and i don't think there is a way to download it on here..

should i just pay for the premium clockwork and download roms from there?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
No, none of the custom rom's show in rom manager (well, one goes now).....

Why not download straight to your phone over wifi?

Once downloaded you can move it to sdcard/

Or, you can just go to cwr and flag from sdcard, and navigate to sdcsrd/download

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tongslee:
I have searched many place and I am getting conflicting info.

I am going to Taiwan in couple days and would like to know if my US TMo HD2 would work with 3G network over there.

Through my research, I believed that most carrier in Taiwan uses UMTS Band I (UMTS2100) for their 3G network.

I know T-Mobile uses UMTS Bnad IV (UMTS1700), but what I am not sure is does the US TMo HD2 has both Band I and Band IV or just Band IV?

In the WinMo setup, there is an option to change Band Frequency and it has both UMTS(1700) and UMTS(2100) as choices. Does that mean it has both Band I and IV?

Also, am I correct that if the frequency is available in WinMo, it would be available in SD loaded Android? I couldn't find when in Android to see available band frequencies

Thanks for any help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deadmansink:
Yes, just add a new APN setting to your...APN.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] djdanska:
It should work fine. The t-mobile hd2 has both 2100mhz and aws (aka 1700/2100 together. for tmo 3g) for 3g and more for 2g.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tongslee:
Thanks guys.

Neither HTC or T-Mobile display the band frequency using the standard format so it's kind of confusing.

Thanks for clearing it up for me

[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
I have fingerprints all over my touchscreen from the grease on my fingers after a week of use.:eek:

What is the safest way to clean the touchscreen without causing it any abrasive damage?

I know throwing it in the dishwasher is not a viable option.
[G Tablet General] codhero:
I like using a microfiber cloth...I keep one on my office desk, one on my home computer desk, and one in my car and truck...works great for cleaning most anything without any sort of chemical (or even water). They used to be expensive, but barely cost any more than a regular bath cloth now...
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
Microfiber cloth too. Use the lens type micro fibers. Those are best for cleaning screens. Not sure about chemicals or solvents though. I sometimes use Windex but that is only for my glass screen tv, have not tried on plastics.

LOL! For the guy that packs microfibers in his car, have you tried armor all? LOL! JK
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
I also use a microfiber cloth and a small amout of plastic lens cleaner that is used for glasses. It works great and does not harm the GTablet surface (I do this a couple of times per day).
[G Tablet General] digitalman2112:
Oakley sells a small cleaning kit (just google Oakley cleaning kit) that has a black ballistic nylon case, an aluminum spray bottle full of isopropyl alcohol and a cleaning cloth. Its $10 in their stores, and they will refill the bottle for free if you bring it in.

I keep the kit in my backpack, although if I'm carrying just the gTablet, I take the cloth and not the spray bottle.

It works great - just remember to dust off the screen to remove any particles BEFORE using chemicals or wiping with a cloth. That way you don't grind those particles into the screen with the wiping pressure.

Bonus - I can also use the same kit to clean the laptop screen and my sunglasses :)

I've also used the Monster screen cleaner kit with their microfiber cloth, but the bottle and the cloth are too large to travel with...
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I thought our screen was glass not plastic?

I use those lens cloths for glasses from Sams. Box of them come in little packets. Made by Zeiss I think. Cleans very well and not too wet.
[G Tablet General] nicholas621:
I use Microfiber cloth . I got the huge one from meritline . c o m then cut them down to pieces and leave them everywhere (at work/home) . If it get really bad I use Lens cleaner packets that you can get from any pharmacy .
[G Tablet General] craig4855:
I use lens cloths by Zeiss, when the screen has heavy dirt. The rest of the time, I use a microfiber cloth
[G Tablet General] whosloosin92:
It is glass. I use a microfiber cloth that came with my panasonic tv. When I don't have that with me I use the green gtablet one that came with the gtab but it seems impossible to remove all the fingerprints with it. Instead it just smears them around.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I uses the cloth (whatever it is) that I got from my eye doctor for cleaning my glasses - works perfect.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Same. My "cheap" method.
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
use the cleaning cloths with windex
[G Tablet General] Reggie777:
Whatever you do, remember if you are using any type of spray, or liquid, spray just a little on the cloth and then use the cloth. Applying any liquid to the screen is not a good idea.... in my opinion. :cool:
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
I have a microfiber cloth I use and it works pretty good. Sometimes I will add a dab of plain water on the screen to help break up tough smudges and make it shine. After destroying a laptop screen by using window cleaner, I only use water on screen cleaning.
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Bought a 6 pack of microfiber cleaning cloths made for flat panel tvs that is also washable. $4.99 at Frys. Works well.
[G Tablet General] snipestech:
Anything thats 100% cotton
[G Tablet General] devilhunter:
Correct way:

Use a non-abrasive brush (soft hair/make up) to remove any particulates (if any).

Do not blow..your only blowing water vapor and your stank breath on it :)

Use a Nanofiber cloth (Ive seen some cheap Microfiber cloths do minute damage)

Do not use circular motion, always one repeating direction (horizontal-vertical)

If it's heavily soiled you can use a small amount of Low-concentration of pure (no perfumes or such) Rubbing alcohol 70% or below. Some High-end lens cleaners are a second choice.

Do not,I repeat, Do not use anything with ammonia or it's trademarked counterparts (ie:Windex and most general window cleaners) LCD's will yellow over time if you use those.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Yeah, this is what I learned with my old laptop, the hard way.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I guess my usual Windex and paper towel is a big no no. I have done that on devices for years. The screen is glass and Windex is a glass cleaner.
[G Tablet General] BurnerAzR:
A spray of windex and a microfiber cloth, that is all :-P

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warp.asylum:
I just read through "The 5 Step Guide" to flashing a ROM, posted by nbs11. Awesome information for a noob like me!

On to my question:

I have a 1010 build Captivate, and there are posts saying that the Odin 1-click JF6 flasher will not work with this build. Apparently these phones will only accept JH3 or later firmware.

I am still on stock JH7, and my understanding is that I can flash a new ROM right now, but that if I want to change to a different ROM, I will need to return to stock firmware first.

I have DG's JH7_OTA.zip (stock JH7). Is there a way I can use Odin to flash that firmware as a method for returning to stock firmware and/or recovering from a bricked state, instead of using the 1-click JF6?

As you can imagine, I'm a bit wary of flashing until I learn a concrete method to recover from my inevitable mistakes...

Update:

Breakin' Ranh has posted very noob-friendly instructions for recovering to stock on 1010 build phones here!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeshmoe08:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] da305kratos:
Hello guys,

I have a sprint HTC Hero with CM 6.1 - I flashed a theme from UOT Kitchen which did change the battery indicator but brought up the roaming indicator...

I attempted to create the eri.xml file and move it to /data as stated here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824649

but that did not work, it told me that it could not be moved there(I created a wordpad file-copied that text-saved as xml- transferred to SD-tried to move from SD to /data)

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? I could restore a Nand Backup but i like the battery indicator :P

Just to be sure i checked the phone status and see the following:

Network: Roaming Indicator On

Roaming: Not roaming

So i'm comfortable knowing that i'm not really roaming, just that the indicator is up...

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] griffincash:
Yes i have a solution pull the eri.xml from inside the framework-res.apk from cm6.1 stable. its in res/xml/

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
Best thing to do is to download the RUU and let it run, it will bring you back to stock. If the RUU cannot find your device then the option is to run the RUU but do not click next, locate the tmep folder on your computer where the installer is running and find a file named rom.zip... this file can be renamed as PCIMG36.zip and place it on the SD card root and then try to get to the bootloader again, it should take you back to stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
What can you do?

1. Post in the CORRECT section.

2. Yay we got number 1 out of the way, but you should probably run an RUU because you probably are using a root method you shouldn't be using. DjREZ videos are for a quite outdated root method if I recall.

3. If you can't get the RUU to fun you need to go to Bootloader and then run the RUU while your phone is in FASTBOOT.

4. Once you are successfully back to stock let us know what HBOOT you have and what hardware version your Evo is. I believe they both can be found in bootloader.
