Anyone know of a program that will play MP4 video files on the Xoom? All my video files are in the format and I'd prefer not to convert them all when I put them on the Xoom.

I couldn't find the VLC Media Player for Android...

Any suggestions?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Rockplayer works fine.
[Xoom General] Pazzu510:
QQ player is my favorite. XD

It plays my mp4 like none other can.
[Xoom General] BBalz:
Not for me. It plays the movie choppy and the volume sounds like a voice changer on a bad horror movie.

Comical... but not watchable.

Any other suggestions?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Make sure you are using the universal one, not one for a specific device.

[Xoom General] BBalz:
Yeah I tried the Universal one and hardware decoding. No luck still.
[Xoom General] jokeefe10:
i have a question.....how are you guys transferring your files over to the xoom? i tried to drag and drop an mp4 to mine but i get an error message saying "this type of file is not supported on this device". is there something i'm missing.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Ignore it.
[Xoom General] jparker36:
I thought mp4 was a supported android format? What format is needed for HD playback via the xoom's video player?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
You get the same error transferring mp3...think it's because of the way the pc sees the xoom. Just hit ignore.
[Xoom General] jokeefe10:
there is no ignore option....i only get "skip, skip all or cancel", no matter what i choose it doesn't transfer the file. i can transfer mp3's fine but no type of video file will transfer. i'm pretty stuck right now.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
This is what i get, i just hit yes and they play fine.
[Xoom General] patchnauty:
you can also try arc media from the android marketplace.
[Xoom General] zapote21:
No special player needed. I just use root explorer, select the movie and it just plays... Natively...
[Xoom General] jokeefe10:
i'm still on windows xp so i don't get that message. frustrating!!
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Try renaming the file .zip then rename after the copy.
[Xoom General] jokeefe10:
no luck renaming it zip.....i had to rename it .mp3 and it allowed the transfer. i renamed it back to mp4 but the video is choppy. i'm using rockplayer lite from the app market for now.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Can't you guys just open the movie in the Gallery and have it play using the built in video player?
[Xoom General] keitht:
I haven't found a single video player app in the market that work properly and I tried vplayer, Rockplayer and another one, I think it was called qqplayer.. The native player will recognize and play MKV but no sound and very choppy. I successfully played a couple of MP4 files though. Tried an AVI and it gave me the same error message and even though I got is copied to the Xoom, it never showed up in the Gallery.
[Xoom General] Slimgym20:
I just put an Avi on mine, and used rock player and it worked just fine.
[Xoom General] :
Those off you that have problems. What have the movies you try for audio? Is it stereo or multichannel?

I think that XOOM have the same problem that all other android devices have. It cant handle multichannel audio like 5.1 dts mm.

So please do some testing and report back.

Write what kind of movie you played and info about the file,audio. And use the stock player.
[Xoom General] xeroja:
MP4 plays nativly but looks a little grainy to me any way to fix this?

So I installed kaoscinate v5. I could not get wifi to work.it just said error. When wiped, wiped, wiped and then restored black hole 4.2 my wifi still not work so I tried loading black hole 4.21 on a fresh install.still no go I tried a new install of super clean 2.4. Finally I had to move back to stock everything, reroot, flash eb01 modem then load my restore file and it worked, any ideas? I want to continue to test kaoscinate but not if that's how I have to restore every time
[Fascinate General] dandog96:
First off, Kaoscinate V5 is in a very early stage, and you should not expect everything to work. Wifi is one of those things. That is one of the things that is not yet supported, so I am not surprised that Wifi didnt work in it. I would go install Adrenalynes Fix All DI01, then the EB01 Modem, EB01 rom, etc...
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
I knew it would be buggy, I have never tested a newer rom before and did not realize the issues can move from rom to rom when restoring.
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
Yeah, it kinda sucks, but just get you a good healthy backup, then a good titanium backup. Then worst case you can odin and be right back where you were in twenty minutes. Worth it for me to be able to try out all this cool new stuff.
[Fascinate General] Legato525:
I will have to do that, I keep titanium up to date. I am going to play with just rom some more I will just have to have a process to recover faster if it happenes again. Thanks for the input.

[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
Hey everybody! I went to stock from CyanogenMod Nightlyes, and flashed stock 2.3.2 nandroid.

Then I flashed the 2.3.3, it works just fine! But my bootloader is still unlocked!

First thing that i thank was just to install Superuser, but it doesen't work.

I connected it to Pc in fastboot mod, and ran install-superboot-windows.bat (one click root)

But now, it just stuck in Google logo, and I don't know what to do next... I tryed to pull out the battery, nothing...

Update: just reflashed recovery via fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, and got the CWM. Now restoring to 2.3.2.

I think that we can just flash CWM after update, and then install superuser. I'll try and will ask you about any changes.

Update 2:: So, it ran just fine, first installed 2.3.2, then updated it to 2.3.3, and then flashed CWM. It boots up just fine, but in CWM I tried to install superuser.zip, it says: invalid to install
[Nexus S General] mazodude:
maybe reinstall your backup from CWM?

also the one click root you need to be in a rom and using adb
[Nexus S General] ancostel:
I did the same thing and ended up in the same situation...ive fixed like this...downloaded odin got back to stock 2.3.1 then downloaded the update,flashed it through stock recovery then flashed recovery.img....flashed su and everything is back on normal now

Hope it helps
[Nexus S General] leonlmf:
If you unlock already, it is very easy to root again

1. fastboot boot recovery.img

2. flash su.zip

3. reboot

all done
[Nexus S General] Trinitronik:
Yeah, but it says, that it can't install superuser.zip (bad) I don't know what it means..

2.3.3 root question

Ok so currently I'm rooted on stock 2.3.2

How do I update to 2.3.3 and

2. not have to reinstall all user apps

3. not have to redo all my settings

Is there a way to do this?

[Nexus S General] hmanxx:
Follow the link, i managed to retain root after 2.3.3 update.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11626567&postcount=70

I manage to keep the root for 2.3.3 with the flashing sequence listed below.

From Android 2.3.2 /rooted/locked bootloader

1) Fastboot boot recovery.img..to boot into recovery CW recovery screen

2) Apply 2.3.3 update.zip ..
=>After applying update DO NOT REBOOT ,as this 2.3.3 has Bootloader change that disable fastboot boot for locked bootloader.

3) Without rebooting , mount system, apply su.zip
=> This step is to reapply Superuser.apk permission setting

4) Reboot..

I am highlighting the concept, for details inter steps..please refer to the first post on the link.

2.3.3 root

is there a method to root 2.3.3 or is it to early i tried allgamer way but it failed
[Nexus S General] CB620:
Or you can simply restore 2.3.3 its in the development forum. It had root already on it
[Nexus S General] CB620:
There is a 2.3.3 rooted nandroid backup in development section.
[Nexus S General] thegod2012:
well tryind to do from 2.3.3
[Nexus S General] kaimyn:
Based on this change from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3, does it make sense just to unlock the bootloader?

Yes, I know it'll wipe my device, but is that the only thing? I can just use Titanium Backup and restore everything anyway right?

Are there advantages/disadvantages to the locked bootloader? I never bothered just because I was just learning how to root and picked a method almost at random.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
If I were currently locked bootloader, I would run a full titanium backup of apps+data, and copy over your entire sdcard contents to your pc, along with the titanium backups (remember, the oem unlock wipes the sdcard also, not just internal space).

Then unlock the bootloader. Easiest way to deal with custom recovery in the future.

There are steps in the 2.3.3 link thread here describing how you can update and get root back even with the locked bootloader; which might be less of a hassle then going through a wipe.
[Nexus S General] harisn:
I'm having the same issue. Any idea how to fix this?
[Nexus S General] MDAC3:
Just load the Nandroid as charlieb620 said. If your already on 2.3.3 you won't lose nowt, just backup your data first.
[Nexus S General] Lemim0uth:
You can root easily with the method described here, as it does not depend on the firmware version :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931865
[Nexus S General] GchildT:
Right Now, you cannot install 2.3.3 without stock Google/Android recovery image. Clockwork recovery cannot flash this update!
[Nexus S General] grellanl:
I kept root after the upgrade from GRH78C (non-unlocked, rooted) by remembering to first copy the superuser zip to /sdcard so that I could flash GRI40 using CWM, then reinstall su from the zip file, and then finally reboot. Started up, kept root access with everything working as before.

Anyone thinking of upgrading could use the same approach.

If it's too late for you though, the nandroid restore sounds like your best bet.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
Sure it can - that's how I applied the update as well as quite a few others.

When the assert fails it will tell you why. If you've modified any of the /system files or have a modified build.prop it will fail.

If you want to update to 2.3.3 and not lose root do the following:

Download the SU binary and put it on your SD card (here http://bit.ly/su2361ef )

Boot into recovery (CWM) and apply the update. If it's the full update be ready for it to reboot and flash the radio and boot directly back into recovery when it finishes (hold vol up). If you are applying an incremental update it should not reboot when finished.

In CWM mount system and apply the SU update.

Reboot (at this point Android will overwrite CWM with the stock recovery).

Delete/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh

Flash your recovery back with either the flash_image binary (through term emulator) or Rom Manager (if you like it a bit more automated).

Hi guys.

I have a accelerometer related problem on my phone when playing racing Games =P

I Have an HTC HD2 and was using Windows 6.5.

The accelerometer works while I'm not playing racing games. When I flip my phone where the screen should flip it works as expected and I could play Teeter withoutany problem. But when I try to play Need for speed Underground the accelerometer gets crazy.

I recently installed android 2.2 and 2 racing games and the problem is still there.

Any one have a clue on how can I fix it?

Hi everyone!

FareBot is an Android app that can read data from public transit RFID cards using the Nexus S' NFC radio. It currently supports Seattle's ORCA card but I hope to add support for other cards as well in the future. See my blog post with more information.

I just updated it to work with Android 2.3.3, so if you're looking for more things to do with your phone's NFC radio, check it out in the market!

I talk about fare evasion on my blog. This is absolutely not one of my goals.

The chip in the Nexus S supports card emulation so this should be technically possible. It's something I'd like to look into, but I don't have any physical access control hardware.

[General Questions and Answers] hiphopgamer26:
Let me start by saying i was running Myns warm twopointtwo with an sbc kernel, along with all updated wimax, PRL, and profile.

My problem was that inside my home i would get a range of 2 signal bars, then 0, then 3, then 0, then 2 etc all of the time. i would ALWAYS get a text message 30-40 minutes after the timestamp.. and i got fed up with it.

i have flashed the verizon PRL (00001.prl) and now i have FULL BARS all the time inside my home, i told my friend to text me and i got his text AS SOON as he sent it, i called him, he called me and it all worked.

Even though it doesn't say i am roaming, i am still roaming right? If i keep this PRL would i eventually be terminated? (as is stated in that one thread) and last, how do i check my roaming usage?

I don't think you're breaking any rules. If I understand correctly, Verizon and Sprint do share towers when their own towers are unreachable by your phone. I'd say go for it.
[General Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I am curious. Have you been doing this all this time? If so, did you ever get terminated?

I've recently started doing this at work. I get excellent Sprint coverage everywhere except for work. I'm stuck in a basement surrounded by computers. No Sprint coverage at all, but I can pull three bars of Verizon when use the 00001.prl file.

But I'm very concerned about getting a termination letter or getting in to some kind of trouble. I talked with a Sprint rep tonight. I told about the bad coverage. I said that while at work, my phone was roaming (I did not go into details about how) and that as the Evo consumes large quantities of data, I was concerned about my usage. He said that I did not have to worry. But he could have just been telling me that to get off the phone.

Has anyone been terminated for doing this long term?

If your compass is pointing south instead of north still, Find a table with a hard top and check it for level with the phone. In GPSstatus place phone on table and look at the green spot (not ones with numbers) if it is in the center its level. Go back to compass calibration this time before you hit ok put phone screen down hanging off the table just enough so you can hit the ok button.

Hey guys, I just bought an atrix the other day, and so far the hardware impresses me, but other than that I'm kind of annoyed. I switched from my 3Gs hoping for an awesome android experience and didn't really get it. You guys might know how to fix some of these issues so here I go:

1) The keyboard is awful. Like someone on another thread said, it has a tendency to ignore the first letters of words. Switching from an iPhone, I'm extremely disappointed in how bad it is. Sometimes I feel that I have to press the screen harder for it to work.

2) My email accounts are annoying to access. On my iPhone I could access all my emails in one unified inbox, or application at the least. On the atrix I have to use the email app and the gmail app to check my mail and its kind of annoying.

3) Overall organization is not so hot. I googled some stuff about folders and plan to try it out along with the adw ex or launcher pro, so this isn't as big of a problem.

If anything I really need help with #1, because not being able to type properly defeats the purpose of the software keyboard. Oh and by the way, I rooted the phone.
