[Droid 2 Global General] ANDY12001:
ok I have found the answer.

Seems d2g doesn't support my country WCDMA .I can only use 2G for calling.

This is my country 3 g 1O1O / One2Free	GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / UMTS 900 / UMTS 2100

BUt D2G is support umts 2100,I don't know why it won't work.So sad:mad:
[Droid 2 Global General] khnglau:
Hi, Andy, are u Hong Kong guy? I am from Hong Kong and have the same problem. I am using PCCW 3G plan. If the phone connects to 3G network, no sound can be heard or sent to the receiver when making a call. No problem found if 2G network is used. Have u solve the problem? or may someone help me? Thanks.
[Droid 2 Global General] ANDY12001:
yes, I am hk user.

I have try 3 network provider,pccw/3hk/csl.

Only 3hk can work on 3g calling,but you know 3hk wrost network
[Droid 2 Global General] khnglau:
I have tested D2G using Smartone SIM card. It is no problem on both conversation connection and 3G data connection. The Smartone network is not bad and you can have a try first before you switch your ISP.

I installed whatsapp on the FOLIO ,not possible to run it is not detecting the device.

Does anyone have an idea?
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] metuskale:
I am trying it in 1h!
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] metuskale:
Hi there; i think I know the problem that makes whatsup not working on the folio.

To install and configure whatsup a phone number is requiered and a sms is needed to configure it; as we dont have it i think that is the problem.

Hope they give us a solution for tablets without phone or 3g, while waiting I will use gtalk.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] bastospn:
Most app run fine, the big problem is games
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] TaLL84:
Yeah, the issue is that you need a phonenumber to register as Whatsapp user.

Can anyone try using the 3G USB Patch?
[Legend General] efex:
Just checking if I got this right.

I'm about to sell my Legend (just ordered a Desire HD), so I want to revert back to stock. The phone is currently rooted and S-OFF using AlphaRev hboot patch.

Will the phone be completely reset if I run RUU? I just want to be 100% sure of this...

thanks.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
It'll still be S-OFF
[Legend General] efex:
Even if hboot is flashed with the update? If so, how do I remove S-OFF?
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
Given that we can't downgrade the bootloader, even if the RUU does include one it won't flash it.
[Legend General] efex:
Isn't there any RUU with hboot 1.00 or 1.01? Considering my hboot is 0.43.0001
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
You're S-OFF with 0.43? Well, an RUU of 2.2 will do the trick then ;)
[Legend General] efex:
great! thanks for your reply :D
[Legend General] Zittro:
Care to explain how you can have s-off with HBoot 0.43 when it's automatically uppdated to 1.0 when you run the s-off sequence?
[Legend General] efex:
Damn, you're right.. My bad! :/ HAdn't actually checked the version, I thought that the 0.43 vas patched, not updated.. Is there any way to restore 1.00?
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
I don't think so, you'd have to go higher to 1.01 by Froyo RUU...
[Legend General] chansthename:
If you are selling don't worry about removing S-off (since if you upgrade the purchaser cannot S-OFF anymore)

But if you are adamant :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870345 will do the trick and remove S-OFF
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Well it seems that my headphone jacked stopped working for no appearent reason. It might be after I flashed eugenes macnut r14 a while ago but I've tried odin back to stock and it still doesn't work. Whenever I plug a headset and play music I can barely hear the beat and that's at full volume. I know it isn't the headphones because I've tried apple headphones skullcandys bose and dre beats and all of them preduce the same effect. Any one have a clue on how to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snatchninja:
I would go back to 100% stock and bring it in to T-Mobile, if it's feasible. This hasn't happened on my Vibrant, but I had to bring my original Moto Droid back into VZW twice for this issue. They swapped it out on the spot for me. That was Verizon and I hear T-Mo has better customer service.

My Droid's problem was the unplugging/plugging headphones and having it in my pocket while listening to music puts stress on the headphone jack and caused it to become loose internally.

Don't flame me, but I think the recessed headphone jack on the first iPhone wasn't a bad idea at all, just if it was better implemented.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcwells:
I had that happen on the first vibrant I owned. It was completely stock, I never rooted it or anything. I just took it back to tmobile and they exchanged it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pashulia:
Hello

I have several questions regarding to Android NAND in hd2:

1. Does Anroid NAND replace windows mobile completely?

2. Why do i get windows loading screen with that parrot in the right bottom corner, (had chucky rom flashed) after NAND flash ?

3. Is there a possibility to format NAND and get a fresh NAND and only then instal Android?

Thanks, would like that people with experience answer these questions, and those who have done similar things.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ddeathmetal:
I dont know about NAND format... but i wondering one thing...When i moving apps from Phone memory to SD (via App2SD):

- data Size of example Angry birds app on Device is 15mb... and moved to SD (now data size only ~4mb on SD)

What the **** is it? any advice?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pashulia:
dont post anything that is not related to question, please.

thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domenukk:
Quick answer:

Not the whole app but only parts of it get moved to SD card.

4 Mb is what's left on your phone after moving to sd.

Yes

No idea

Imho its the only way o.O
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
1) Yes

2) Because that is a separate splash that has been flashed to your phone and is only replaced by a rom or you manually flashing a new one (There is a forum for this)

3) Thats exactly what happens. MAGLDR will format your nand and flash android to it.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
At first, let me thanks for your supporting to VPlayer.

I want VPlayer to be free at first, because I think the users will help me if I give out a better app. Now I wanna change my mind.

Considering the situation:

Gingerbread, Tegra 2, HTC hero, Droid X, EVO...

Hundreds of devices and feature requests are coming to me every day. And I want to accomplish these requests as soon as possible.

However, I cannot make it. 'Cause I can't afford these devices and don't have enough time to programm for a free software.

Although I've recieved many donations, but the amount can't even afford a nexus S. So many people are using VPlayer and request more features everyday. But they won't help me at all.

They didn't send me $1, They didn't send me a crash log. They just gave me 1 star, "fc on droid 2 / Nexus S", "If you support HDMI for EVO, will 5 star".

How come they want more and more but won't help any more ?

At last, I think I should make VPlayer a paid app to make it better.
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
Well, I don't use VPlayer but I totally agree.... If you are putting in that much effort and require funds to continue then yes a paid version would be a good step forward.

I would recommend though you try to keep some form of 'Ad-Support' version. After all, you need new numbers to test and report back.... Plus what with Google's new 15min rule a lot of users are thinking twice now before parting with their cash.

Having said that, VPlayer is easily tested within 15mins.... Providing it does not lock out/FC/Time Slip/etc at 16 mins onwards.
[Android Apps and Games] GeorgijSapkin:
I'd have to agree that a lot of commenters in Market are plain brain-dead and they really discourage developers who put a lot of effort to bring quality software for free.
[Android Apps and Games] MvP77:
I will gladly pay for your app, its one of my favs!
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Go ahead and make it a paid app, it deserves to be (and its your choice). Also consider an ad supported (in the settings/menu) version for us xda folks

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
I found RockPlayer to be the only player that would play an avi on my Nexus S, so I looked into buying their product. Then I realise it is done off market and tied to you IMEI number. I e-mailed asking them about this, saying I change device every 2 or 3 months and they said they would move a license twice. For this they want $10?!?!?! (On sale at $5 now I think)

I am thinking of e-mailing them back just to let them know they have put me off buying. If it was tied to the market I would probably have paid $5 already.

Anyway, to bring it back to relevance to this thread, if you charged $1 or $2 I would probably pay for it, if I knew it would play all the video types I needed.

I have to be honest though, I think your logic and reasoning is wrong though. You surely wont make enough money from this to buy every device that someone says it doesn't work on. I would prefer you were honest and just said, this app is taking a lot of time and you'd like some pay back from it. I don't think anyone would deny you that. (That sounds harsh, I don't mean to imply your not being honest now...)

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] littlepr:
Abitno,

Go ahead and make it a paid app. Time is money. If nobody else is providing what you have to offer I believe you should be entitled to be compensated to support development for such great work. If people don't like it, they will then have to go without an app that supports all the formats VPlayer can handle. I for sure will be willing to pay for such great work. Just make sure you strike a midpoint price. I would suggest a price range between $2.99 -$4.99.

Thanks for the great work and count on me on making a purchase although I already have the latest free version.
[Android Apps and Games] AndyCr15:
Be careful, I would suggest anything over $1.99 will put a lot of people off and you would end up with less... :(

You might find $0.99 would actually be the most profitable price point. I buy quite a few apps at that price without caring too much if they're useful or not!
[Android Apps and Games] stinkypete:
Yup! I'd pay a dollar, hey if you did that you might make a killing.

I was using you app last week to watch the Cleaveland Show, really pleased so far. Personally I would prefer if it was a smaller file as have limited space on my N1.

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] vbetts:
I've tried Vplayer on my Evo and I liked it a lot! I'd be willing to pay for it. Great software.
[Android Apps and Games] Volcacius:
Agree on everything, make it a paid app!
[Android Apps and Games] anderl78:
yea, make it a paid app. But please give us a ad-version too!
[Android Apps and Games] FiFTYSiX:
best video app on the market i would go 3 on it no prob
[Android Apps and Games] mezo9090:
ok, i hope you read this,

as you can see, i am living in egypt where not even Google Checkout is supported, i mean i can't even buy an app off the market even if i wanted to,

i developed a couple of apps, so i'll try to open some ideas for you,

Android Market have countries who can see paid apps, and most can't

making your application paid only leaves me no options to get it.

however making it ad-supported ( in a non spam-ing way ) makes it a good option,

you can also play with the filtering options as much as i can hear in the market to offer both versions in country specific way.

hope i made you see things more clear ...
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Thank you:)
[Android Apps and Games] Izkata:
I would suggest releasing two versions: Full/Paid, and a Free ad-supported one.

I've heard some people complaining that ads don't get you very much money, especially if no one clicks on them. I don't have firsthand experience with that, though. But even if the paid version doesn't add any extra features, label it a "donate/ad-free" version and some people would buy it just to get rid of the ads. Extra features in the full one just add more incentive, and the ad-supported one can still be used by those who can't buy it, like mezo9090. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] K900:
What I suggest is that instead of making it paid, you should make it... open source. Yeah, open source. If such a great app becomes open, more developers will certainly join in (count me in once I finish that C++ course), which means more devices for testing and faster development in general. So, what do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] wilbur-force:
IMHO (as a non-developer) I would suggest you market it carefully. Id guess that your main competition is RockPlayer. I use both VPlayer and RockPlayer as I find some formats work better on one than the other.

I agree with a poster above that you would get a lot more response by pricing it low - I tend to be happy to throw a $ or two on a whim but anything more i tend to want to see a demo first ....:o
[Android Apps and Games] smeddy:
This is my favourite app - without it there would still be one area where Windows Mobile outperforms Android (well, there's RockPlayer, which was okay, but less developed, and with that annoying banner).

Add a price, and I'll pay it. My suggested price-point is £2 to £3. Congratulations on a fantastic App.

By the sounds of it, the Angry Bird developers have found it profitable to have an ad-supported version (although I know they have critical mass on their side). I's suggest a paid and an ad-free version if it's simple to put together.

All the best, very proud to have you on this board :)
[Android Apps and Games] Captainkrtek:
I understand your case but if your app is to be on XDA it has to be free, or free with an optional paid version. Ads are reccomended in your case. PM me if you wish to carry on this application development, best wishes. :)
[Android Apps and Games] chvvkumar:
Let me chime in here,

Coming from coreplayer on HD2, IMHO vplayer is the only worthy alternative on android. Rockplayer is okay but there are two important points that I don't like about it

1. The paid version is too expensive IMHO

2. The ad placement in the demo version is awkward below the controls.

I am ready to fork out for a full version of vplayer IF it is <5$

If you do want to make available an ad supported version though, please place the ads at the top edge where in most of the cases, the video is letter boxed and black bars are present at the edges and doesn't obstruct the video.
[Android Apps and Games] kushXmaster:
Seriously. Most of the people on the market place are pretty much complete NOOBs. A couple of my co workers have android phones and I know they are posting stupid comments about how it just didn't work but if they just read the instructions they would probably know why... :rolleyes:

Anyways, to the OP. Gotta make your money right?
[Android Apps and Games] pascalbrax:
First: I LOVE your app!

I uninstalled Rock Player and now VPlayer is my default movie player for streams.

I have a Desire HD with Sense, its built-in media player is really awesome but does not support streams over upnp and lots of formats so well like Vplayer.

I have a few ideas, if you like to listen to me:

Ads in a media player are a big NO!

Ignore one-star comments, always.

If you really want to do something about one-star commenters, just call your app "Vplayer BETA" (like Google does) and list in the description the devices you know vplayer works (because you tried yourself or someone reported it so)

I'll be happy to pay for VPlayer

I'd like alot if Vplayer could get media from UPNP servers ;)
[Android Apps and Games] felixkh:
I have tried both Rockplayer and VPlayer and I like VPlayer more. I am using Samsung Galaxy S and VPlayer does run better than RockPlayer.

Please make VPlayer a paid app and i will support it.
[Android Apps and Games] gogol:
Make it paid app ... $1.99 should be OK for app like this.
[Android Apps and Games] ABitNo:
Thanks. Upnp feature is in development.
[Android Apps and Games] tilleke:
I like vPlayer very much and I would gladly pay for it if you make it a pay-app. Especially in view of the fact that you are working hard and trying to support lowend-devices as well such as Hero, Samsung i5800, LG Optimus One ecc.

Also, I think you should release the paid version very soon since I believe within a month or two, the competition will become much more stiff due to a new-entry that will probably release their player for free. Better take the chance while you can.
[Android Apps and Games] phrozen87:
I'm currently using a Droid 2 and there are still a few issues (I posted in your other thread and will send some logs to you) but you seem to be working hard to get phones like the X/2 working. I would definitely be willing to pay for your app once it is working on my phone as I would love to get rid of rockplayer. Whatever you do I hope you keep up the great support you have shown to this app as it has been really great to see a developer who communicates so frequently!
[Android Apps and Games] Quintasan:
Give it for $0.99 for a month and then increase the price to $1.99. I bet you will get a ton of buyers that way. I'm also willing to pay for this. Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Hey Abit. Before you decide to make it into a paid app, you should look at this first.

Thanks for getting support for the Nexus S. I just bought it from the market and i love it. It gave me back support for all the video formats i was missing when i changed from my Vibrant.
[Android Apps and Games] MrGarak:
0.99 would be okay, but will be interesting to see what VLC is going to be like in comparison when it comes along soon as a free app.
[Android Apps and Games] GentMAB:
Can't say I agree with you but I do understand your reasoning for it.
[Android Apps and Games] jerry153:
This is an excellent app! I've tried most of the video player out there including Rockplayer and this is the most versatile and stable on the droid 1. I would definitely pay for this app but no more than $2.99 I think this is the sweet spot for apps of this caliber.

Thanks for all your hard work but thanking you doesn't pay the bills.
[Android Apps and Games] de Wolfe:
Bought it. Good SW development is definitely worth spending 2 bucks. Nobody is forced to pay by the way. There ar lots of different (bad) players out there for free or also even more expensive than 2 bucks.

I remember old WM-times when you had to pay 30 bucks for the only acceptable video player (Core Player) on this platform.
[Android Apps and Games] browndanielusn:
Just bought it. I've been using it for awhile and although it does freeze at times on my X, it's still the most stable player I've used for streaming.

Only one compliant, since today's update the "gestures" setting doesn't save. I turn it off but then as soon as the app closes, it defaults back regardless of the checkbox.
[Android Apps and Games] Adidas108:
dude u own this app so you don't need our permissions to start charge :)

Just please make it work for arm6 processors too ;)

just rock all right?
[Android Apps and Games] OOMatter:
VPlayer is definitely worth paying for, especially to keep it ad-free.

I just wish you hadn't originally said it would be "free forever" and then switched it. People who were foolish enough to check the auto-update option in the market will be very unhappy to find out they suddenly have a trial version of something they thought was free and full. Seems like a good way to piss people off.

Might be even be worth keeping an old version available that's free but won't be updated.
[Android Apps and Games] K900:
Sad I can't pay for it... Screw Market limitations

Sent from a piece of ginger bread
[Android Apps and Games] Sixe:
I'm going to move to Gingerbread in the upcomming days so I'll have to switch to another player. I'm planning to donate as soon as VPlayer will be working in Gingerbread.

EDIT: In the market, it's noted at the beginning "Gingerbred not supported" but lower in Recent Changes it's noted "Gingerbread is supported".
[Android Apps and Games] Platypus222:
While I understand that you don't have enough money to support new phones, not all of us are asking for that. Would it be possible to release a seperate, unsupported version that only supports the phones and filetypes that the app supports now? "VPlayer 2010" I call it.

I have an Incredible and it works perfectly for me. I was never asking for anything more and while you certainly deserve to be paid for continued development, you said it would always be free. Unless you release what I described, I simply won't update the app. No harm against you and I get what I need -- what I already have.
[Android Apps and Games] bellethial:
first I gotta congratulate the developer on making an excellent app for watching videos. It worked very well on my mt4g and frankly it is worth shelling out cash.

That being said, if you can't keep your promises don't make em. It really is that easy.

The market for android has had one common theme as each new phone was released, people asking for their phones to be supported. It is an incredibly logical deductive leap to assume any application developed and released will also face the same demands. I tend to think of most app developers as self owned businessmen/women, and when running your business you need to understand to some degree your customer base has to be able to trust you. I understand the devs stance, really its not too hard to realize he wants to be compensated and given how excellent vplayer worked for some he is guaranteed to make some kind of money. However, the way the switch was conducted was pretty messed up, one day "free forever!" Then an update later its a trial?

Not even the option of ads or adfree, just a trial. And zip warning unless you use xda apparently. Personally I read market comments and don't auto update but to the ones who do use the auto feature, well, they got shafted. Which I suppose brings me to the trust factor, the dev has lost mine. He may have worked hard on the app but I worked hard for the money he is asking for, if the switch had been conducted a lot more openly (and oh I dunno, the dev had a donate button, which I'm kind of relieved I didn't find now) I would've been perfectly happy paying for a quality product.
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
In reference to these two posts above, I made the first post straight after the OP declared his position.

In that post I said below.......

I am a little concerned from that opening post to my post above and now to these latest posts we have not heard anything further on this subject from the Developer.

The only replies we have seen are two which relate both simply to say a Thank you...... Nothing on addressing any other question.

As such I now share your views.
