[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Dormantlemon:
yep. i cant play mkv's either (at any resolution aka 320p, 480p or 720p). They lag too much. Whats more annoying is i cant convert files to keep subtitles that are softsubbed within mkv's, they disappear after mp4 conversion

Can anyone suggest a converter suitable for mkv's (ie that has simpler android conversion support without having to set up resolution manually etc). I know there are several designed for android, but google turns up poor results during searching plus id like to know what you guys use (if anything)

By the way, a little about the matroska format. It in itself isnt an encoded format directly. Its more similar to think of it as an archive. It is a compressed form of another type of encode (usually h.264). Hence certain files may have more difficulty than others in playing.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] elitehacker:
what is rockmode?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hhhawasly:
yes there is, with mp4 file types ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hrockh:
.mkv format it's only a big box where you can put any format at any resolution with any audio you want. Also subtitles

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matroska

I watched films and video, 720p & 480p & 320p without any lag.

Try to change build. (gingerbread is supported by Rockplayer)

good luck
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hhhawasly:
Did you try mkv 720p and works fine?

I have tested it on many builds but non was working well!

Did you work with hardware decoding mode ? software decoding mode? rock player or other?

what build are you working with?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] danielseverin88@gmail.com:
mine works fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tizzl10:
do you guys think there will be a windows phone 7 rom for the HTC inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cursordroid:
Why?

Why? Why? Why?!!!

If you want Windows Mobile with a 4.3" screen get the HTC HD2 or the HD7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] olurumsana02:
Why not?

As far as i know none of those phones support AT&T 3G or even less 4G. Would be pretty awesome.
[HTC Inspire 4G] footbal9584:
I have an HD2 that can run 6.5, 7, or Android it is a Telstra version so it gets ATT 3g in many areas just Google ATT 3g 850 map and see if you're in their area. If you're interested I'm selling it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
To prove it can be done ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] footbal9584:
Ya I would spend hours doing something just to prove it could be done
[HTC Inspire 4G] ezbay.sales:
i'm rather curious about the possibilities as well coz the phone is sweet on it's own (despite the fact it has to run Android out of the box) and the 3G/4G incentive would be a fantastic Windows-based alternative for

this

configuration/design... just sayin' ('',)
[HTC Inspire 4G] captmiddy:
While I can respect the desire to try something completely silly like this just to see if it can be done, you should expect that you may, and very probably will, brick your phone. Unlike Android, the code for Windows is not just out there. Putting Windows on a device it isn't certified for will likely fail because you won't have a proper set of drivers for the device. But I have tried silly things like this in the past with Linux putting it on devices it wasn't intended for with some success and the fun is sometimes all that matters.

I can't think of a single compelling reason I would want windows mobile on any phone I ever get unless they suddenly come up with a good blend of business and enthusiast features with WM7 doesn't seem to offer, but to each their own.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Silas0220:
If you're interested, this might be fun. Not a rom, and not the same. But interesting.

Hmph. It's called Launcher7. I'd link you to it, but the forums don't want me to. It's in the Market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] negrowil:
I am interested... how much is your telstra phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] PeartFan40:
Why is this silly? It's all part of the hacking/modding experience.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PeartFan40:
I installed Launcher 7 on my Inspire. It's surprisingly pretty decent. It's free, so there's no risk involved.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 0space_monkey0:
if the iPhone can run iOS and android with a loader on boot, why would it be so hard to make it for an inspire? way more open then ios development.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
I want this too as did a bunch of nexus one users, there's already a thread about it over there. But the answer is no, it isn't gonna happen as there are no drivers, windows phone is closed and can't get ported.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] dillydawes:
I have been trying to get the Mobile grid client to work on my Nooky froyo

It fails to identify the type of device so i emailed the DEV and got this back as a response

If the license code can't be calculated, it's because of a configuration defect in the firmware.

On some Wi-Fi only devices (which are no phones!)

TelephonyManager.getPhoneType()

doesn't return PHONE_TYPE_NONE.

This is a problem for license code calculation as the code for MGC has to be calculated different on phones and other devices.

Get in contact with the manufacturer and tell them, maybe they will fix it with the next firmware update.

Any help with this would be awesome
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] TheEditor:
Sounds more like the developer needs to fix his program to utilize aspects of the OS that are available in all version, phone, tablet and AOSP (which is what Nookie FroYo is based upon). Just my two cents. As to the solution I haven't a clue.
[General Questions and Answers] frankmust:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
Well i have been using the cm7 nightlies with no problem. Today i decided to flash the RC1 since im sick of having to flash everyday. So i flashed the rom with rom manager and my phone was stuck in a boot loop.

So i had to do a battery pull and then restore the rom i had just backed up. After restoring i reboot the phone and am stuck in a boot loop again. I did another battery pull did a full data wipe, wiped cache and dalvik cache. And reinstalled the nightly 41 and am no longer in a boot loop.

So i tried to install RC1 again and everything was fine after flashing rom and gapps. i thought everything was fine so i rebooted into recovery to flash the 1.2.2 BFS Netarchy kernel. Before flashing i wiped cache, and dalvik cache. And of course now im stuck into a boot loop again. Has anyone else experienced this problem? i believe i am doing everything right. This is the first time i have ever experienced this problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try flashing the kernel without wiping the dalvik or cache.

personal, i dont use or recommend using rom manager, as it creates issues of its own. i download everything myself and flash in recovery without rom managers aid.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2L:
I'm trying that now. Thanks for the quick reply. I have even tried installing the rom without using rom manager and it still did the same thing to me. Hopefully this works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-grosso:
Trying to take a few files off of my phone. My phone recognises it's connected, asks me if i'd like to usb storage bla bla. However, my computer doesn't recognise anything after usb sotrage is turned on. It did beforehand, but no idea whats changed. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuickSilver98:
Hi, I'm having problems with my DINC. :(

I was running SkyRaider Athena 1.2 with the stock Kernel, HBOOT 0.92, Radio 2.15.00.09.01 and S-OFF. It was getting a little slow and bogged down so I decided to start afresh and flash a new rom. I upgraded my Custom Recovery from 2.5 to 3.5 (it had been a while since I had flashed a rom) and flashed SkyRaider Sense 3.5.

Here is where the problems start. Whenever I turn off the phone and try to turn it back on I get the "HTC Incredible" screen, which then goes to black and I get 5 vibrations and a green flashing LED. I can get to the bootloader but when I try to get to the Custom Recovery, the same thing happens. One thing that I have noticed is that S-Off is now S-ON.

The only way that I can get the phone to turn on is to press the power button, and plug the phone into a usb for power. At that point it will start up normally, however the phone will not read the SDcard or internal phone storage at all, even in when I do the same thing to get to the custom recovery, which means that I can't flash roms, or use any apps that require some sort of memory.

I don't know if this is a problem with the rom so I posted this in the general discussion.

I've also found some posts on other websites where people have had similar issues but no solution:

http://www.incredibleforum.com/foru...f-vibrates-5-times-green-light-flashes-3.html

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...9959-need-help-5-vibrates-blinking-green.html

Yes. I'm QuickSilver98 on those sites too ;)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to say but I have yet to see a solution other then a insurance claim. I hope someone smater then I can help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Just do a battery pull when that happens.

It has happened to me before a couple times, but after a battery pull everything works fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuickSilver98:
thanks for the suggestion, I've tried tons of battery pulls, but there's no change.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_live_lee:
I've never heard of this problem but, then again, I've only been in the Android community since September and am far from an authority. I do have one thought though which I'm guessing is not a cure all for your problem but, could possibly be a part of the problem. Is it possible that maybe your SD card has crapped out on you? Have you tried putting it in a card reader to see if it is still readable? Just a thought, as I said. Good luck with your problem, in any case.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fader01:
I had this problem, I took the phone back to Verizon and they gave me a refurb. But this may help you

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuickSilver98:
I thought of that, the memory card does work in other phones and other memory cards can't be read by the incredible. So it's definitely the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_live_lee:
Yeah, I figured it was something more. Just wanted to put it out there because of the possibility of more than one issue going on simultaneously. I know it's rare to have multiple problems at once but it does happen on occasion. :-) Any luck zeroing in on your problem?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixa:
Hey there, You linked to my post. I ended up having to get a refurb from verizon. my situation was the same and I was able to get the phone to "s-off" before I called them up and went through verizons troubleshooting routine.

they overnighted a refurb for free.

Best of luck with your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuickSilver98:
I'm thinking of going that route as well. I haven't been able to find any solutions anywhere and that seems like the best option.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Penguissimo:
My brand new Inc did this out of the box. I could get it to boot if it was plugged into USB, but even then things weren't quite right (Bluetooth didn't work, WiFi was wonky, internal storage was not recognised, etc). Apparently this is a Qualcomm hardware error code, and a warranty replacement is your only real option. Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
fix

ok this happens all the time and all i have to do is pull out the battery and wait 20 seconds then i just either boot the phone up or boot it into hboot and then boot into recovery and reboot the phone.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
Just a simple poll to get what we all think will happen. I'm so tired of reading post saying "I'll pass, i'm not getting the Xoom because it requires activation."

I know there is a WiFi coming... I just want to know if you think there will be a forced activation on the 3G/4G model.

I SAY no way.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
It's not a question of IF, it's confirmed.

I think Droid-life, Engadget, and Gizmodo all said it was confirmed, BestBuy's ad said it, More importantly though, BestBuy's website said it, Costco said it, and BestBuy's internal instructions say it has to be activated in store.

Where's the 'IF' here?

Edit:

Costco's ad regarding the activation fee:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955814

BestBuy's internal system capture talking about the activation fee, not selling it without it, and the recurrence every time you want to re-enable the 3G:
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I don't think the BB website ever stated it (it did however sate DVD/CD not included). As for the other sites... they all referenced those leaked BB ads with the bad grammar.. did they not??

I haven't read the Costco ad though.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Originally they referenced the ad, but a lot more has been leaked since then. BestBuy's original Pre-Sale website said activation was required. They've since pulled the site, as well as pulled the cache's of the site. I'm sure they can still be found online somewhere. They were also only available for in-store purchase (likely due to the activation required can only be done in-store.)

The Costco ad that came out a few days ago and the internal bestbuy memo that was leaked a day or two ago are the most damning evidence of required activation.

Edit:

Yeah, google even removed the cache sites of bestbuy's ad.

I posted what it said regarding activation, keep in mind my speculation was before the leaked bestbuy memo and costco's ad:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11379514#post11379514
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
This is what I'm reading

"Originally the playbook stated that

IF

a customer signs up for Verizon...."

Doesn't IF mean optional?

"This is not true, every time they re-activate the service they must pay an activation fee"

This seems like clarification that users get charged an activation fee each time they cancel and reactivate the device; again not saying its required
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Lol, talk about reading between the lines.

Did you miss the line that says

"Computer associates need to be activating these devices in Best Buy stores using the Beast system."

Honestly, I would love zero activation, especially if the wifi model isn't going to be out anytime soon. However, I think you're betting on something that's really really slim.

I also think we have a better chance of the WiFi model launching at the same time, since it was announced officially, as well as a US price was announced at the same time as the 3G model price was announced. Then they pushed back the pre-order, and now are delaying release (supposedly) to the 27th. This all screams simultaneous launch of WiFi model to me. Oh, and it's already passed through the FCC.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
Yup read that too...

That's just telling the BB employees to use that specific system to activate the devices. BB doesn't get credit if users activate them on their own. I can only speculate those details of course.

If it was required, it would say so in a very obvious manner.

I bet you a beer it's not going to be required :cool:
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I hope its released at the same time too, but this thread is about the 3G. NO HIGHJACKING! lol
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
Costco gets incentives for activation. If they offer the $35 rebate and require activation (Costco required, not Verizon), then they may get the most benefit because customers aren't losing anything but the $20 data plan.

I still haven't seen anything from Verizon, MOTO or Best Buy that clearly says activation is required.

Costco.. well... it can't be anymore black and white there... hahah...
[Xoom General] Xevilious:
Ugh... this still pisses me off. I think I'm going to get a Xoom tablet, but this forced activation is the one requirement that is really making me reconsider.

After forced activation and the first month of service and Maryland sales tax, the thing will be far closer to $900 than $800.
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
Cancel the data plan as soon as you walk out the door. They can't charge you for a full month of data if you cancel, plus I don't think they can charge you the activation fee either.
[Xoom General] csseale:
I'm gonna buy mine. Activate it and when they hand it to me immediately call and cancel right there at the counter.
[Xoom General] setite:
Good idea. As a protest we should all say, "thank you, what is the number to cancel this?"
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I still say it wont be required. Best Buy may push it on us (according to their playbook), but I don't see it being required.

But if I'm wrong, I will call to deactivate the data once I get home.
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Get home? How about when you walk out of the store?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Its even required at COSTCO, so i don't think its is a best buy thing.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
Costco also is giving a rebate for the $35. To get the rebate you would need to activate. If you don't activate you don't get the rebate OR Costco specifically required activation. Basically, Costco may be trying to market themselves with Verizon and having more people activate the device makes them look better in Verizon's eyes.

Neither MOTO, Best Buy or Verizon released anything stating activation is required. The only exception is that leaked Best Buy ad from 10 days ago that had the weird typos. Isn't that Costco ad a leaked ad too?

We wont know until either the official Best Buy Sunday flyer (tomorrow hopefully) states it specifically.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Yea the costco one is a leak too, but I have read the email myself. It states wifi will not work unless the phone is activated. I don't see how they can do it, but we will see in a few days.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
I've been a pro no activation activist these last few weeks. I may have to change my xda username if I'm wrong, haha..

In conclusion, it´s a nice gadget for everybody with android phone, but it´s a risky inversion because you never if it works good on your device.

It´s good for reading tweets, sms , missed calls and music player remote.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuntchicken:
I had the same problem...

...searched all over trying to find a solution relating to Desire HD but eventually found my answer in a thread relating to an older HTC phone.

I doubt I'd find it again so I can't give the credit where it's deserved but the poster suggested a couple of possible causes and solutions as I recall;

1. The speaker in the earpiece naturally contains a magnet and could over time pick up bits of metal fragments (swarf) from dust, in your pocket, off tables, etc. He suggested using a stronger magnet to stroke it off perhaps, or even easier (and perhaps safer for other components) just blow!

2. The speaker will have a thin plastic diaphragm that resonates to form the sound. If this becomes malformed somehow it will produce crackling/tinny noise and poor volume. The solution here is to close your mouth over the earpiece and either blow or suck :-) If one doesn't work then try the other and test again.

Sounds comical I know(!), but it worked for me. I can't remember if it was blowing or sucking in my case but I was very glad I had avoided having to go through customer services and being without my phone. Instant fix and it's been fine since.

Like I said, this isn't Desire HD specific advice - it could happen to any cellphone really. I hope you have the same joy as I did ;-)
