SD card loose

I had the same problem and I noticed that the SD card had backed out of the slot a little. I pushed it back in and everything works fine now. I wish I had seen that before the hard reset.

Heya,

I've just started programming with android and made a few programs and everything so I'm still kind of a novice but im trying to understand it all.

So here's my problem, I'm trying to play a video, the thing is, I got it working when I Stream it from an URL with VideoView over the internet or when i place in on my sdcard.

What I want to do now is play a video I've got in my res/raw folder, but it only plays audio and I don't understand why, it doesn't give any error in my logcat as far as I can see, also couldn't really find a solution with google since most of the answers are about VideoView and just put the video on your SDCard.

Now someone told me I had to use setDisplay (SurfaceHolder) and I've also tried that but I still only get the audio.

I hope someone can help me find a solution.

Code:

package nl.melvin.videodemo;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.view.SurfaceHolder;
import android.view.SurfaceView;

public class videodemo extends Activity {

public SurfaceHolder holder;
public SurfaceView surfaceView;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.mac);

mp.setDisplay(holder);
mp.start();

}

}

[Android Software Development] SterAllures:
Does nobody have a solution to this problem, or is it maybe possible that when you download the app from the market the video copys itself to the memory or sdcard so I can use VideoView?

The Android App CPR Choking has this feature of playing a video when you download it.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Monnyaa:
Hi, I can't get it to work on my Nexus S. I just downloaded PSX4Droid, the correct BIOS (SCPH1001) and 2 different versions of FFVII. One is a .bin and the other is .iso. I can't get either to work.

When I click them in the ROM selector the menu slides off to the left (as if it's loading the game) but then it just goes back to the ROM selector page.

Any tips/ideas?

EDIT: PS: The .bin version came as an ECM but I unpacked it correctly.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ryanrhod:
Having the exact same problem on my Nexus S, and am following that same procedure. I also had another game that was in the ECM format that I converted to .bin format following other instructions, and tried like 7 other BIOS files I found online too. Anyone that got it to work want to shed some light on how they are doing it?

Wanted to add that I am using the free version, maybe only the paid version was updated to work?

EDIT: OK, really wanted it to work haha so went ahead and bought the v2 paid version, and it does actually work, so I guess that the free version has not been updated to work with the nexus s yet.

I bought this a while ago for the n1. While the performance is better here on the ns than on the n1, playing a game eventually results in a force close. A bit frustrating.

Psx4droid Not working on Nexus S

I tried both the free and pay version of psx4droid and never got a rom to work. I downloaded different roms form different sources and even did some converting to .bin file from 7e files. Still nada. I also did the whole sch1001.bin (or whatever the correct file name is) and loaded that into the emulator but again nothing. All that happens is that when I try to load a rom is goes back to the menu page or just crashes. Any ideas about what I can or should do?

Thanks

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Trevellian:
Got it working

For those of you still having trouble with psx4droid on the Nexus S:

Download the v2 apk, not the v3 available on zodttd's website.

I found this, who knows how long it'll be there, but it works fine on my phone:

Ok seems it won't let me post a link, but just google "psx4droid v2 v1.1.2.apk" or a variation of it and that should do it.

Just tried it with Castlevania SOTN and it ran slow but at least it worked, I'm sure messing around with the settings could speed it up a bit, I'll research it when I get a minute. Tried FF Tactics and it booted up fine, didn't try gameplay yet.
[HD7 General] gINOMANTIC:
hey guys, i have a t-mobile HD7 imported from america to australia. it's weird as i can connect to random routers like my friends d-link dsl-g604T with wpa2 security and open networks like in mcdonalds or starbucks, but i can't on my own d-link DIR-615 with "ANY" security options, including open network combined with any individual b, g, and n only connectivity options. This is really annoying because a smart phone is dumb without wi-fi and my connection with 3/vodafone is just oh so bad within my area. so I am now blaming my d-link router! please help me out with choosing a good wi-fi router, I'd have bought the same router as my mate but it's not N compatible, and I want this N feature cause it's good with other wireless devices within my house. can any of you kind techy people provide me with routers you guys have that run perfectly fine with the hd7 so that i can be a copycat and buy the same and enjoy streaming youtube or pron when the girlfriend's not around like you guys do LOL. I was planning to go with TP-Link TL-MR3420 but please enlighten me for better ideas.

cheers!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftknoxdaddy:
vibrant rom on captivate

I Odin flashed the stock vaibrant rom to a captivate. The volume buttons were opposite. The home key became the back key and back key became home key. Also the orientation was backwards. I did this for a friend because he wanted wifi calling. Only problem is ATT does not support wifi calling. Other than those issues the phone worked. It even booted up vibrant. Ultimately I flashed it back to the captivate rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Hello guys,

I know this thread is not directly about a ROM, but this is where this thread belongs because it directly involves the OPs of all these threads... so please read my suggestion.

There is an ever increasing amount of flaming going on here, mostly shooting down newbies for asking the same questions over and over again. I have a suggestion which would be very useful for avoiding the repetitive questions as well as the bad vibes and time wasted generated by so much flaming.

My suggestion is to have all OPs of a thread, make post #2 or post #3 available SPECIFICALLY as an up-to-date info aggregating post... so:

1/ in the FIRST post of the thread, mention is made and a link given to a post (perhaps post #2 or 3) which is dedicated to NEW FINDINGS and WORK AROUNDS.

2/ Someone volunteers to update this post, a beta tester or friend of the OP's or a fan of that specific ROM. the would start and edit/maintain this post #2 or #3 each time a new finding is made (delete helvetica on Darky 7.5, for example)

3/ instead of reading dozens of posts of wasted energy flaming people (it makes ZERO difference and ONLY serves to make the flamer look arrogant and unfriendly) we could all politely point newbies and confused old farters like myself to the first post and post #2 or #3 where they can get useful information without being expected to waste hours reading hundreds of useless comments or failing to find what you want by searching.

4/ Searching only happens when you ALREADY have a problem you need to solve. This idea of post #2 or #3 being used for important new info would tell people ALL they need to know, so if they read that, they would not need to search! IMO searching can take a long time, and XDA limits you to one search per 30 seconds, which DISCOURAGES searching!?

IMO it is not THAT much effort for one person to take on this job per thread...

What do you think?

tx

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ussittette:
I totally agree with you but you probably know that keeping a post up to date is hard as you can't constantly be on xda.

A solution could be allowing multiple users modifying one same post so updating won't rely on one person.

But I don't know if this is currently feasible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
If you check out Doc's thread, this is basically what he does already. Several posts chock full of information with the most revelant addons, fixes, changelogs, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Hi

Yes, to some extent this is done on Doc's thread, though it contains (or has in the past when I was using doc's roms and reading those tips) some stuff which is outdated/irrelevant/incorrect an it is a bit disorganised.

I would love to see some kind of standardisation, so anyone trying out a new rom can read about the rom in the first post, and read the second post to see what the latest findings/fixes/issues are.

For sure, Doc's is a lot more informative than most...

Tx

Mark
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seeARMS:
Any specific information you'd like to see? If you have any questions, I'll try to answer them best I can.

I (at least try to) keep a detailed, up-to-date FAQ on my ROM's page. The problem is, not many people are asking questions. :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shadoslayer:
I'm guilty of chastising folks sometimes too, especially the ones that come on here complaining that their phone is dead and how Samsung sucks because THEY didn't bother reading threads on how to properly flash, or not paying attention and flashing a captivate rom on a vibrant or a i9000m, whatever.

When I have a problem and need to ask a question, I've already spent time searching the net, searching xda, and reading related threads. I guess it is much easier just to hit "new post". How about a forum rule where it is mandatory to actually search, read the stickies, and the first few pages of a rom thread before posting? Or maybe a new thread should be created for every new ROM revision, with the thread title for older versions changed to include "OBSOLETE"?

Also, finding specific information in this forum is quite difficult sometimes because it is spread across hundreds of threads, sometimes buried a few hundred pages in. Another problem is that the i9000 is grouped in with the i9000m, and honestly, there should be a subforum specifically for the i9000m, where we can store all the QQ posts about SD failures and the like. Save the main forums for information we can actually use.

Just my 2 pesos... for what its worth. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
This suggestion only covers part of the problem, the other problem is aspiring rom chefs was also shot down by fanboys of more established rom chefs. And as a result, not many would venture into rom cooking anymore.

While I have utmost respect for the chefs, what irks me most is fanboys calling others as thieves... Pathetic....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredphoesh:
Hi there,

I agree its definitely not constructive, people taking out their anger on others is uncool regardless of who-how-why.

most of this is already a requirement/request when you join the forum, but flamers get all self righteous and hammer anyone they deem has not done their homework.

searches are very fallible. if you search for a generally used word you come up with way too much, and search too narrow and you are likely to miss something. I was looking for "battery fix" because that is what the thread title mentioned, but in the actual thread it was called "battery drain" or something, so I did not find the "battery fix" and had to ask.

all these little important things that sit somewhere in a 1000 page thread need to be collected and put somewhere immediately after the first post...

IMO that would make the XDA experience more pleasant for more people!

Mark.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
I agree its desperately needed .

Whats happening is that other forums mention the various roms .

Owners then download the rom without even the most basic knowledge of roms Odin flashing etc expect them to be just like factory roms . Get into trouble refuse to read page 1 ask for help often on subjects beyond their very limited knowledge .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
I agree for an extent. There are a few exceptions however:

1) There have been some cases where people have knowingly presented assumptions as fact... REPEATEDLY! Even after it is questioned. So flaming in that case might not be nice, but flaming is the only way to get them to go away. One such example was when someone was telling everyone "Google Mytrack is buggy, not the GPS". He refused to provide adequate evidence. RAM's another area where everyone is a professional, but none of the professionals have proof..

2) There are also a growing number of users who are blatantly IGNORING strong warnings about some ROM's.... And many of these are users with no development skills, or who haven't even tested official roms first. Then when something goes wrong, they demand help from the community, and later they bug the poor developers, who already knew there were serious bugs.

3) And then, there are the people who don't try to solve their own problem first. Granted, some searches CAN be missed. However, we are often seeing questions which often obviously can't be answered by the community (such as "when will Samsung release Gingerbread for SGS"). Well, clearly in that case, it would be best to speak to Samsung (duh). Or "my sd card is dead, will AT&T replace it". Clearly they should speak to AT&T

4) Then there are the guys too lazy to bother with basic fault fixing skills "my phone jammed up.. What do i do?"

I do agree in general it would be nice if things were friendlier. However, in some cases, I'm not sure if we should embrace people who were mentioned above....

What we really need is a thread designed as a faq consolidating answers

I have done a nandroid backup that is still there and I have tried to restore that, but it still goes to white screen and stays... I keep it on the white screen and after 15 minutes I try again after removing the battery... any ideas would be great...

My friend got a NC yesterday so I upgraded it to 1.0.1 for him and ran Auto-Nooter 2.12.25. After playing around with it for a while we noticed the audio wasn't working, so he rebooted it. And it worked. At least until he put it to sleep. Then when he unlocked it the audio won't work anymore. This is a persistent problem. Rebooting fixes it until he lets the screen lock. I'm not having this problem and I used an older version of Auto-Nooter (2.12.18 I think?). Can anyone else confirm this issue?
