VPlayer loads and I've tried a xvid .avi, and a mkv and neither play. It acts like it's going to but then takes you back to the file list.

Rock player played my MKV but no audio, wouldnt play the avi.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Would love to know if the Xoom can play at least a 720P mkv file. With the hardware it has, it SHOULD be able to play a 1080P mkv file if it had hardware acceleration, which it doesn't.

If the Galaxy tab 10.1 is anything like Samsung's smartphones it will have hardware acceleration on avi and mkv files.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Rockplayer worked fine for me, watch a divx and a mp4.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Just tried vplayer and qqplayer on Xoom. Although they install, they do not work. vplayer will not even play the video and qqplayer attempts to play but the video is jerky and the progress bar is across the middle of the screen.
[Xoom General] galaxybror:
why not try moboplayer?

it's also a great player, it can play plays a wide array of formats, i enjoy my HD mkv and mp4 files on my XOOM, i just can say it's great indeed!

Buy dice player.

The only player that plays your files with HARDWARE decoding which can save you precious battery life.

I made the mistake when my phone froze today to pull out the battery, instead of waiting for an automatic reboot. Now my phone complains that my external SD card has an invalid filesystem, or is blank... when i press that notification i get the option to format the SDcard, but i just moved all my applications to my SDcard 3 days ago, which would make me lose everything.

Is there a way to recover it without losing all its content?

I've tries a micro SD cardreader for my computer, but either the cardreader is broken, or my computer doesnt recognise the card at all...

so far ive found out that my laptop sees the card, but i cant access the files on it. it looks like the filesystem got corrupted or wiped or something, because looking at the properties of the card it sais: filesystem: none.

i found out about testdisk, and will try that out overnight. its a 16 GB card, so that is going to take a while.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
Hello. I rooted my Atrix and have had no problems. I deleted most of the bloatware. I also put the settings in for the apn and access wifi hotspot via this forum.

Just a couple minutes ago, I plugged in the HDMI cable to show my mother some stuff on the phone and how the Media Center is but it wouldnt come up. It came up before I did all the root. But now, when plugged in it would pop up on my screen asking what to select and then it would go away. Can someone help me on what possibly might have happened? I would really appreciate this. Thank you so much.

Nick
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cegna09:
sounds like you deleted something when you were removing the bloatware.

as advised in other threads, don't remove it, freeze it with titamium backup.

do a factory reset and pray it comes back.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pwndrone:
It wont come back after a factory reset so....what you have to do is get the retail motoblur dump file and push the apks to the phone using ADB. Remember to push them to the sytem not /data.

Thank desigegears for telling me this.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
Yes I did a factory reset and it didnt come back. I just read the thread that talked about that uptop after I did this. I feel so bad. I screwed up. How do I get the Retail Motoblur dump file? And pushing the APKs to the phone using ADB. I havent done this in a while. Please any help I would really appreciate it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pwndrone:
One of the devs posted it on the forum, not sure where. MAybe on page two? just scroll down. To push them to adb, designgears posted http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966405 which shows how to push files. Just push the mediacenter one.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
Thank you for the info. Im downloading a file where the dump said Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US.tar.gz is that correct? It was in this forum. But the fileformat I dont know what to open that up with. Its like 145MB. I had to PM Designgears because I really dont know how to do this. I would just need the 1 file? I do have the phone rooted with Root Explorer. Anyway I can get the file on the phone and cut and paste it in the right path?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
Ok that was the right file. I do have the mediacenter.apk file now. Anyway I can put this on there with the phone rooted? I have root Explorer and can paste that apk in there.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pwndrone:
Use 7 zip to open the file. Got to the app folder and find the one named media center. Push that file or paste it into /system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
I have the file. And in root explorer its also showing that the file is installed already in / system /app
[Atrix 4G Android Development] pwndrone:
Ooohhh.... Well if it's installed then I think I know your problem.

Go to your the app "Media Share"

Click Start

Click television

Click play

Click hdmi

Follow the steps that it gives you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
That worked perfect man. Thank you so much for all of the help. I really really appreciate it! :)

yes after you update, you have to fastboot flash clockwork, then boot into clockwork and flash the su zip. then if you want clockwork to stick (not get overwritten after every reboot) you have to rename the file called "install-recovery.sh" in the /etc folder. i just rename it to install-recovery.sh.old

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob77:
I've always left my phone on auto brightness since I first got it. With this update the colours look more natural but looks like they have knocked down the contrast a few notches and upped the brightness a touch. The greys definitely look a few shades lighter. Its probably more at reference level now, im sure ill get used to it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabio008:
yes, just updated here as well and same thing. i really notice it on the whites, seem very yellowish... other than that looks normal to
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drl1954:
It looks like the autobrightness feature is set a little lower than before. And, it is a lot slower to readjust to changes in ambient light. If I manually increase the brightness, then my screen doesn't look any different than before the update.

The greys actually look like grey now. Before the update, it was a bit reddish, the redness is very obvious when the screen brightness is set to low (and if you activate the Screen Filter app, the redness becomes more obvious).

2.3.3 Color issue

Hello,

I'm the owner of two Nexus S and I want to send some pictures to show the color change after the update. See attachment. The left phone is 2.3.2 and the right phone is 2.3.3. On the 2.3.2 the blacks are a lot darker if you looks at the phone, the grays on 2.3.3 are gray now but to bright. The display looks darker with 2.3.3. The whits are more bright with 2.3.2, the 2.3.3 has a very warm white. My wife and I like the more vibrant colors of the 2.3.2 better. But I still think the 2.3.3 represents the colors more true.

I still hope Google will find a way to make the display as impressive (very high contrast) but with correct colors.

Regards,

Markus

PS: if you look at the colored lines you can see the washed out effect and in real I can see this much more.

PPS: I guess if you are color blind you will not see a difference, maybe the Google employee that put this patch in the code base was color blind.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
Hmm, the phone with 2.3.3 just doesn't look good to me (i mean color wise). I'm no screen expert by any means but the colors look almost washed out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaedo:
Strange, I much prefer the color of 2.3.3. Your pictures nicely illustrate how that ugly purple hue has been removed. I'm glad Google fixed it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyt3rry:
Hmm im really starting to have second thoughts about updating now. may I ask did you update ota or using a link
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
This seems to be pretty polarizing, but I'm with you. The overly blue tint was really evident before, I much prefer the new color palette. It seems quite a few others do not though....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Everybody that's having this problem used the link
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaedo:
The link is the OTA...it's the same thing. I'm not sure where people on this forum all the sudden got the idea that there is some "fake" update floating around out there. The link is simply a way to get the exact same file that people are getting as an OTA update.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Until this issue gets fixed ill stick with 2.3.2i don't like the way the color looks. Other than that everyone says it runs nice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
ive seen sone people who have gotten the "actual OTA" and had no complaints
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
My point exactly. Not saying the link is fake but the people that used the link that is floating around are the ones having the problems. Just came off the google forum and most of the people used the link and want to go back
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
on the other hand that link came from someones logcat so in the end their phone downloaded from the same link...so who knows ;(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2012iawait:
so what do i do now? can i go back to 2.3.2?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaedo:
You might be waiting a while...2.3.3 was the fix. 2.3.2 was the problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr mystery:

- Tabs in the top of the dialer screen

- Background of ongoing call screen (VERY apparent)

- Settings -> call settings - bars to separate groups of settings
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaDupaFly24:
^^^I think the author of this thread update was OTA..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkham:
hmm i can tell those are different colors, but it doesn't look purple or blue to me i thought it was just like a subtle gradient or something. and the nexus live wallpaper i can see that its different in the photos but if you didn't tell me its not supposed to look like that i'd never know. is this color issue something thats on every phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beancookie:
I don't think it's so much an "issue" as it is a preference. Some people prefer the old color tint and others prefer the newer one (like myself). They both work for me.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaedo:
I'm a great fan of supercurio's work. I absolutely love his sound fix and am looking forward to running a 2.3.3 kernel with his mods. However, in my humble opinion, his 2.3.2 color fix overcorrected the problem and made the overly warm greys too cool. Greys went from purple to green. I think the official 2.3.2 gamma correction is a bit more accurate.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elvoski:
I have never had any of the issues before the update nor after, My colours are incredible!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmRipper:
Your screen is defected. There was a purple tint issue. Google fixed it with new display driver on 2.3.3

Voodoo color driver also fixes the purple tint issue on 2.3.2

Not all the screens are defected.

Thanks God it's not only me that having this issue, the colors become not bright as before. Even previous and current using same brightness setting (auto) :(

Try to compose email on Gmail using 2.3.3 , and it looks not so white :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyn00b:
I think you guys are wrong...

Sorry, but I think this change may have been intentional because people (like me) have been griping about the harsh, cool color temperature of the super amoled display since day one. Up until now the Nexus S display looked like the hideous "Sports" setting on a badly calibrated HDTV :)

The whites and grays look a lot more accurate now (i.e. warmer).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woaibolin:
On 2.32,what confused me much is grey displaying as purple.

Now on 2.33,i'm so glad to see google fixed it up,although nexus s's display is now warm and not sharp.

Wish google could fix both grey-as-purple and not-any-sharp problems.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
The last thing they needed to do was make the screen more washed out (i.e. warmer). Screen looks terrible compared to my vibrant. Even with the gray fix from supercurio the blues were still washed out.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the color problem is jut an auto brightness bug

seems like too many people complained the old setting was too bright, and google made the default auto brightness to even lower

if you disable the auto brightness the color returns to normal, just by having the brightness bar 1 bit to the right
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serious_Beans:
So the colors aren't washed out? It's just the auto brightness or are you talking about something completely different?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drl1954:
It may not be auto brightness for you, but it is for my phone and even with it on the colors are accurate, just a little low on contrast.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dls5375:
Do the buttons at the bottom look like they tinted pink or purple compared to the white on the screen?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharesearch:
I did do color correction on my PC before and to me it looks like Google is correcting to much. For example I have a wallpaper with stars and the space now looks more brown than black. I think there could be a better profile, maybe just a little bit colder. I got used to it after 20 minutes, but if I look at the brighter display with more contrast from my wife I'm not happy with this update. I just think the display can deliver more.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowz3r:
its just that your eyes are not used to what the colors should look like, what was purple pre 2.3.3 is not grey as it should be
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dls5375:
I agree it was slightly purple but they should have went with something in between what it was and what it is now IMO.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpharesearch:
Yes, all that is needed is a little tweaking and it would look really good. The new color settings are not bad, all the shades of gray look really good. The profile just needs some work on the black levels and white levels. And some tweaking to get the vivid colors back.

PS : maybe the nexus stock wallpaper also needs to be tweaked?
