[General Questions and Answers] GhostyDog:
Hi,

We are having some issues with Motorola/Symbol MC75 Devices running Win Mobile 6.1, the devices appear to be resetting themselves to factory defaults when the Battery runs low, the devices have a backup battery onboard but I have yet to find out if the memory onboard is non-volatile and/or if there is some form of clean image on there and what could be causing them to revert.

This has happened twice in the past week and we've had a few occurances of it happening over the past few months across multiple devices.

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas about whyt his would happen. We are running f-secure security suite on the devices and a in-house application that is .net forms based.

Thanks for any assistance

Hello!!

I am developing an application for internal company use. Is there any way to perform automatic updates, without having to publish the application in the Android Market?
[Android Software Development] cingall:
I think you're referring to a push-notification-type update. You should look into the process that Koush's clockwork mod uses for ROM updates.
[Android Software Development] nonini:
You could have the application check a website for updates periodically, then if there is an update download the .apk and then prompt the user to install it.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Might want to talk to your Networking group; they usually have a way to automatically update network computers with new software (e.g. virus scanner updates, Windows updates etc.) Maybe they could help with an automated script for the apk install.

Has anyone been able to figure out how to get Orb Video Streams to play on their NC. I have the paid app, which works on the NC, but truthfully there are few apps as terribly executed as this one. The other option is to use the web browser, but I am unable to find a player that will play the winamp or wm streams (no, the winamp app does not play .pls streams.)

Any thoughts or suggestions.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nicbennett:
same issue here. ideas?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] xsavier:
StreamFurious plays .pls streams. I can't confirm how it works on the nook color, but it works great on my nexus one.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] chadillac0000:
You are wasting your time with orb. I have used orb on and off for a few years now and can say that their product has only become worse with time. The only reason I used it for so long is because there was no better alternative.

I recently found VLC Stream and Convert. It is not a perfect solution and it requires a bit of setup, but it beats the hell out of Orb (and works great on both my Nook and Evo).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dfellars77:
I don't disagree, but in this case simpler is better...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] sec6:
You could install flashable froyo .67. Install adobe flash, and then open the streams from a web browser. This should work. I'll test it out to confirm.

Update: Works! Install orb classic 2.50 on your pc, and also ffdshow audio decoder. Set up orb on your desktop. Go to mycast.orb.com on your Nook browser, go to settings and select stream format. Choose "flash." If you have an hdtv tuner installed on you desktop, go to program guide at the mycast.com page on your Nook, select your channel and voila, tv to go. Stay away from the orblive junk. I don't even know why they released that garbage. Adjust bit rate of stream as needed in the mycast.orb webpage on your Nook. Tested using Dolphin Mini.

PS: Saved video files also work.

[Edit: Headline with typing error: "17 hours" is correct. Sorry for that.]

Hi everyone!

As I am a new member I am not allowed to post to the Development thread ("[ROM-GingerBread] Ginger Villain 0.9 Camcorder working (24-01)") to ask my question.

I hope this is the right position for my question...

I flashed to "Ginger Villain 0.9" yesterday in the afternoon, unplugged my charger having a fully charged device close to midnight.

Nine hours later the battery was down to 51%. This was during night, where I was not using the device.

Background sync and WiFi was on, even if the WiFi-network is off in the night.

I did not switch off WiFi with the original Sense-ROM (Froyo) or with the LeeDroid (2.3d) I used before, but I had to charge the device all 2-3 days - using it more than I did today.

Coming to the questions:

Is this fast discharging only a problem on my device, or do others have this as well?

What could be the reason for this?

Hope you can help me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barefootpilot:
I've had GV0.9 on for a few days and not noticed any real difference in battery life. Before that I was on LeeDroid, before that stock HTC.

First day on GV I got about 39 hours. Pretty light use but that does include some wifi, and GPS with a running app. Pretty much exactly what I was getting before.

Today it's showing about 60% charged after 15 hours with again some browsing, music playback and general use.

What radio and kernel do you have? Also on the about phone - battery use screen where does most of the usage come from?

Edited to add

Go into wireless and networks, wifi settings, menu and see if you have wifi sleep policy set to 'never' - this is a known battery drain issue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
so if it is set to never it will drain your battery? so i should set it too the 15 minute option to conserve battery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterdan:
Night #2: Better, but still bad.

WiFi ist set to disconnect while screen is switched off.

I did not notice this option (Menu/Advanced) before, thanks for this hint.

Since the last unplugging from the charger the device discharged from 95% to 38% right now, in a time span of 14 hours.

Around 30min of this I was checking e-mails or browsing - all via mobile network.

WiFi was switched off the last night, I lost 27% in 8 hours.

Which e-Mail clients are you using?

I used the HTC-Sense mail with the stock ROM and LeeDroid, now I am using K-9 mail. Collecting mails is set to a 30min cycle. With K-9 Push (IMAP) is active, but I don't remind what was set with Push under Sense-Mail.

What are your settings?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barefootpilot:
Sorry, confused you there. You need to set the wifi sleep policy to 'never'. Anything else will cause battery drain.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puredesire:
Se if you have 100% cpu with quick system info!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbk:
Do you sync your Music ????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterdan:
Thanks, setting WiFi sleep policy to "never" saved battery a lot! :)

I set this option and charged the phone to 100%.

It lost only 41% in 44 hours.

With WiFi on, even at night. As well with mobile data connection, IMAP Push, sending of 3 SMS and one 2-3 Minutes phone call.

No, I don't sync any music.

These WiFi-options are doing the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do?!
[Fascinate General] toby1064:
Downloaded/Installed the Rubiks 1.7 ROM and the Voodoo Kernel that it's packaged with (same post). Works great, lots of mem free, snappy, battery seems to be pretty good. Then I noticed my google talk doesn't open, when clicked, it seems to start loading, then goes back to the home screen. So...went into sonofskywalkers section on ROM manager, and downloaded SNS, thinking this might be the problem because it was referenced as killing the facebook app. No joy. So then uninstalled talk, and reinstalled with ROM manager, and still the same issue. Also downloaded colorful MMS, cause I know this killed messaging in blackhole.

Any ideas?
[Fascinate General] TheBadBen:
Google Talk works for me. I did the same thing, ROM and kernel. Market force closes randomly, but that's a different story.
[Fascinate General] toby1064:
Hmmmm. Ok it works for someone, so...I am clearing data/cache with cwm, reflashing ROM, see how it goes. Thanks.

Glad it worked out for you so easily, bud. That's why we have forums.

[G2 and Desire Z General] EEaudio08:
I have been running a few tests on Handbrake transcodes for my G2, and I wanted to share my results for anyone who doesn't wish to invest in 9 hours of transcoding/CPU time, just to get sub-par results.

My test file was Dexter S05E01 in the form of a 720p mkv. I tried 4 different settings, and here are the results:

1.) 1280x720 mp4 at constant RF 20. The picture is very sharp, but the playback stutters. Audio is fine, but the phone can't keep up with the video (when played in the stock player, doubleTwist, Vplayer, and QQplayer).

2.) 1280x720 mp4 at constant 2550 kbps. The picture is also very sharp, but the video playback still stutters, even when played in each of the alternate players listed above.

3.) 800x448 mp4 at constant RF 20. The picture is still sharp, yet it STILL stutters. The phone just isn't keeping up with the video. This one confuses me, since it's less than the phone's screen resolution.

4.) Handbrake iPhone/iPod Touch settings at 480x320, with constant RF 20. This is the only one that plays without stutter, but it is noticeably less sharp than the previous three tests. Played on my 3rd gen iPod Touch, this encoding looks fantastic. However, my goal was to maintain the HD feel of the source, and this was not achieved.

I will continue to experiment with different file-types and report back here if I succeed at finding a crisp, yet playable transcode for the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
Are you playing the videos using the built in media player? If there's lots of stutter I would try rockplayer. Don't download rock player from the market, its the universal version and is very slow and stuttery. Go to the website for rockplayer and download the version specifically for the cortex A8. I can play 1080p downloaded youtube videos with that.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Phace:
^^^^^This^^^^^

I use Rockplayer for all my movies without having to transcode ever!
[G2 and Desire Z General] JanetPanic:
Am I missing something? I went to the rockplayer website but only see versions for arm7 and arm6.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EEaudio08:
It's ARMv7.

I downloaded it, but I'm still getting stutter, even on the 800x448 file. h.264 is the right codec, right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] EEaudio08:
Perhaps it's because I haven't rooted my G2. Maybe 800MHz isn't fast enough to decode 720p. Are you running CM at 1.4GHz, to get your 1080p videos playing with no stutter?

Also, to be more clear, it's not a huge stutter - only very subtle. However, it's enough to really bother me, because the video is never really smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
I'm running CM7 at 245 - 979 mhz ondemand with the UV kernel. Have you tried playing a 720p youtube video downloaded with something like tubemate?

I did notice when I played a converted version of inception once that it stuttered, yet youtube 720p videos didn't stutter at all.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
I guess you're right. There is a small stutter... but its much less then when I was trying to use handbrake and convert full movies...

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EEaudio08:
Yeah, I tried a 720p youtube video in RockPlayer, and there was still enough stutter to bother me. I guess I'll just stick with my iPod Touch for watching videos on the go.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AXYPB:
I used a guide for HandBrake with G2-optimized settings based on the iPod Legacy preset and the mVideoPlayer app. I also have the G2-Fast kernel and overclocked to 1516 with SetCPU. It works fine enough, but the files it generates are only marginally smaller than the source. What is the homepage of RockPlayer? The first result on Google is broken.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EEaudio08:
The first Google result works for me.

Hopefully the next iteration of Android (Honeycomb) will be able to use it's gpu acceleration features on videos?
[G2 and Desire Z General] XpoX:
ARMv7neon, ARMv7vfp, or ARMv7vfpv3d16? They're all ARM7, whats the difference?
[G2 and Desire Z General] darkjuan:
Personally I wasn't able to get Rockplayer to work on my G2 for some reason. I tried both versions of the ARM6 and the ARM7 version as well so I'm unable to view any videos at the higher quality. But here are my settings that I use.

Picture: I keep these at DVD quality, so my width is always at 720 and I have the box checked in "Keep Aspect Ratio"

Video Filters: I have all of these to off.

Video: Video Codec is at H.264 and Framerate(FPS) is set to "Same as source". Quality I have set at 60.78%RF:20

Audio: Source=Automatic Audio Codec=AAC9(faac) Mixdown=Automatic Samplerate=Auto Bitrate=160 DRC=0

I don't touch the "Advanced" box

I also have the "Container" box set at MP4 with the Web optimized and iPod5G support boxes checked.

Lastly I change the .mv4 to .mp4 at the end of the file.

These are pretty much the same settings at the iPhone & iPod Touch presets with just a few differences.

I've never had a problem viewing any movies with these settings and the quality, I feel, is excellent. I've converted hundreds of movies using these settings ever since I've had my G1. The only difference is the Video Width. The G1 I had set to 480. Hope this helps.

One other thing to add. These were all either direct DVD or Blu-ray rips so I've never seen any real loss in quality.
[G2 and Desire Z General] EEaudio08:
Thanks, darkjuan. I'll give those settings a spin and see if I have more luck with them than I did my original settings.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SMS92:
Hey all,

Let's get a few ideas for 'everyday' builds that have little to no issues present.

This thread isn't the place to recommend 'nightly', bleeding edge stuff! Or stuff you've only had on your phone for 5 minutes!

There are so many builds out there for testing, and lord know's I'm someone who likes to mess with his HD2, but for people who just want to get on with a build that's as complete as complete can be... we need a list. No doubt time will make this list obsolete before long, but let's do it anyway.

I'm not even sure if there are any builds that can be considered almost 'complete' but I may be surprised.

I haven't switched to NAND yet as I need WinMobile for a couple of things but the way things are going it's only a matter of time. I'm using Darkstone's SuperRAM 1.5 FroYo build which has been a great build for as long as I've been using it (since before Christmas).

It's without doubt the most 'complete' SD/RAM build I've tried but I've experienced the following issues out of the box:

- Robot voice on first call made on boot (on lots of radios, but I'll keep trying)

- Battery life often jumps to ~60mA in standby for seemingly no reason, otherwise it's a good 4-9mA most of the time.

- Some occasional hiccups in data connection, but very rare.

- The camera app is basic/ugly (guess it's stock Froyo) and pics show up twice / are in 4:3 - but to be honest I haven't looked into this issue.

So as an everyday build it's fantastic, but not perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone not wanting to go down the NAND route who wishes to have a reliable, stable and speedy Android build.

So what would YOU recommend from experience for an ALMOST PERFECT / STABLE Android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
From experience, I'd recommend that everyone interested in Android read through all the ROM threads (1st post at least), and then make an informed decision where to start. After that, if they have any issues they should try a different ROM.

Since different people experience different things you can't tell people what will and won't work. They need to try themselves, to find out.

Other than that, each ROM thread has a list of usual suspects "working/not working", so we already have a list of these things.

Nexus S with CaynogenMod 7 Nightly #16

i used Launcher Pro (Paid) on may HTC Desire (stock and custom roms) on my Nexus S the Launcher Pro seams a bit ... slow? buggy? sometimes it crashes ... now i use the ADW Launcher included in the CaynogenMod 7 but its feels the same ... its slow and somtimes it doesnt work ... then i have to wait a bit and its working again ...

i dont make any mods so it cant be the problem ...

does anyone has the same problem? is there a way to fix that?

My N1 and Vibrant both had buttery smooth Launcher Pro animations, but not the Nexus S. I can get it close if I use a 1.4 or 1.5ghz overclock kernel... but I don't want to do that just for the launcher lol.

I'll try Go Launcher... but I'm still skeptical it can be as smooth.

I just noticed my first ever issue with lp: I sometimes scroll through my docks when I'm not paying attention but this time I noticed that while scrolling to the left at high speeds it would occasionally show a blank dock in between. So I did what I do whenever I find a bug: I repeated it over and over seeing how often I could reproduce it. Then all of a sudden my dock just flat out disappeared. I restarted lp and it came back. Sort of. It only showed one of my two docks (the one to the right). Only a full reboot brought back both. If this happens again it might be a reason to switch but typo what I don't know :/

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Go Launcher EX is pretty damn fast and doesn't ask for all those permissions the original one had. Although, there are still some bugs on there for the Nexus S that I've experienced.

1. When pressing home on a different screen, the screens disappear. Home has to be pressed again for it to take me to the main home screen.

2. When rotating from portrait to landscape, sometimes the dock is misplaced.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
2) never had that problem

1) yes, only happens in SNS, it doesn't do it on my other phones

work around is to NOT USE the setting for Home+Preview, set the Home button either or, just not both
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
