[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] James91:
There are two types of settings,

one is aggressive and another is mild,

What do they mean??

How many ram would remain under aggressive setting and mild setting respectively??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
Both of them free up more memory than the default setting.

I had thought that Mild was more gentle than default but when I looked at the scripts yesterday, it was obvious that default is most gentle, mild frees up more than default and aggressive frees up the most.

Default gives me usually 30-40mb free ram

Mild would give 50-60mb

Aggressive probably 60-70mb

However, even the mild is too aggressive because it kills too many background apps/services.

I don´t have access to * HomeArrow * Samsung Nexus SArrow * Nexus S Themes and AppsArrow * [APP] NXP Launches NFC Tagwriter App for Android 2.3.3

So I post my answer here to help others -> please move it to the wright thread

____________________________________________________________________________

Original Post:

I have an old university ID card that has a mifare classic chip and i think its obviously write-protected. Is it possible to erase this info? and re-write my own?

I'm trying to find a way to auto-launch applications when a certain NFC tag is read. Are there any apps out there that can do this?

I basically want to launch the car home app when I place the phone in the car holder (i'll place the old uni card or some other nfc tag behind the holder)

____________________________________________________________________________

Answer:

Hi Grippa,

the admins didn´t gave me access to NFC developer Forum yet. So here is my answer to your post from NXP Launches NFC Tagwriter App for Android 2.3.3

Regarding to Android Nfc Development Mailing List you can access Mifare 4k Tags "only" with Tags or TagWriter from NXP, old Apps from the Android Market doesn´t work anymore.

Maybe we should find out how to access NFC Tags with other Apps than Tags or TagWriter,

then we can develop our own App. -> for example your idea.

If you want to access a read-only Tag, you have to find out, if it is possible to change the MAD Sector.

Just have a look in the Specifikation of the Tag. For NXP MF1k/4k Tag Type there is a diffrent between the values of the Acces Bits in the Mad Sector. Link to NXP MF1k/4k Tag Type Specification -> look for the diffrences between Table 4 and Table 5.

Hopefully this helps you.

Yours

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] nrynryuk:
I've had Win Phone 7 on my HD2 for around a week now.

Working fine, can't fault it really, aside from random reboots - I've read a few threads suggesting this is down to the SD card being used. I have the 2GB card that was supplied with my phone from HTC.

So far as I can tell, the reboot seems to happen every 1-3 days, and I'm almost convinced it happens at the same time of day? I get in my car to go to work and the HD2 connects via bluetooth to my car head unit. It is within a few minutes of doing this that it reboots. Usually it ends up in a loop, getting to Win Phone 7 then restarting again, I see the MagLDR screen, then it loads Win Phone 7 and reboots again.

The only way to exit this loop is to remove the battery then re-start the handset. It is then fine again for a few days.

Does this sound like the SD card re-boot issue?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] CrAzYiaN:
yea, more then likely it's your sd card, get a new one.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] c0v0c:
Same issue here HD2 WP7 YukiXDA & in my new S80 Volvo phone connects then reboots, sometimes only once, sometimes 2 or 3 times, however I noticed if I manage to make a call its rock solid thereafter.

Will keep trying different connection methods as I have a suspicion if I initiate a call before turning the motor on & bluetooth connects during this period the call transfers and then no reboots.

Only upgraded OS to WP7 a few days ago so need to try this out a bit, prior to this no WM6.5 issues at all except for minor regedit in the bluetooth stack that was.

On a seperate note there is a few Google hits regd WP7 and Bluetooth reboot issues on the web.

Be great if anyone has a bluetooth regedit worth trying?!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] c0v0c:
Have been trialing a few methods to connect and to be honest none are bulletproof, at times if I am mid phonecall on getting in the car the call transfers to BT and call is okay but on ending the call soon after the phone will suffer one or two restarts before becoming rock solid.

Alternatively no call while getting in car will suffer just the latter one or two restarts.

It is odd as after at least 2 restarts in general I have no issues, except searching a contact from the car is a waste of time, no probs with WM6.5 prior to this though, just an issue with WP7.

Waiting for a Yuki Mango build, hopefully BT issues will be resolved.
[Gen8 General] sprocket87:
I love my Archos 70 IT, and I'm really impressed by the great multimedia players Archos included. I've been using the video function to browse my local network for SMB shares - I have a 1.5TB NAS storage appliance loaded with TV shows, music and movies. I open the NAS over SMB and can stream videos great. However, a lot of my library is in 720p quality. These files play fine for about 1 minute, then get very choppy.

I haven't yet attempted to copy a 720p video to the Archos locally to see if it will play smoothly. I suspect it will, since it plays just fine for a minute or more in most cases. I think the network buffer is running low. If I pause the video for 5 seconds then resume, it plays smoothly for a few more seconds before getting choppy again. But pausing it for longer doesn't seem to help any more.

I don't see any options in the app to change the buffer length or anything like that. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can improve hi-res network video playback?

Note: I'm using an 802.11g wireless network with the Archos about 5 feet from the WAP. No signal strength issues.
[Gen8 General] CrunchyDoodle:
Even with a regular PC or laptop, it's kind of iffy for me to stream 720P consistently. While in theory, a WiFi G connection is supposed to be 54 Mbps, in reality, it's often a lot lower due to interference from other WiFi radios. Where I live there are a dozen WiFi radios that show up when I do a scan. What's amazing is that one or two of them are stronger than my wireless router a few feet away. Who are these people?! :eek:

Bye. :cool:
[Gen8 General] sprocket87:
Ha, thanks for the response. I can definitely stream 720p to my laptop successfully. The radio in the Archos might not be able to keep up though. Dunno. In any case, some sort of buffer options would help!
[Gen8 General] ske714:
The fact that it plays ok at first, then gets choppy indicates that you're playing through the contents of the buffer faster than it can be replenished by the network stream. A bigger buffer would make it play longer, but it would still run out. Picture a bucket with a hole in it. If you don't fill it faster than it drains out the hole, it will eventually be empty, no matter how big the bucket. Pausing is like putting your finger in the hole. It lets it refill, but it can only get so full. Pull out you finger and it starts draining again. The only solution is a bigger hose or a smaller hole :)
[Gen8 General] creationblur:
I too get the choppiness when streaming via smb. But I have put a 6gb 720p movie on my A70S, and it too gets choppy. This was with 2.1.4. AND with the newer 2.1.8. so then I fully restored the device to increase the swap file, and it's not any better. Now im rooted using archangel, and used setcpu to keep the cpu maxed, but not any better than it was.

btw, i used the archos video splitter app to get such a big file on there.

Even 1.5gb 720p cartoons act up, i get the video falling behind when there is alot of motion. I'm hopeful it will get better!:mad:
[Gen8 General] ske714:
Did you put the movie on your SD card? How fast is your SD card? Try moving it to internal memory and playing it from there.
[Gen8 General] creationblur:
Yes, i forgot to mention that. I tried it first on the SD card, still crap. Put it on the internal memory, still just as bad. I did think that doing so would fix it, but, no dice. unfortunately.
[Gen8 General] CrunchyDoodle:
Of course you should be able to play a 720P video from inside your Archos cleanly. By any chance is the video encoded at a high bit rate, like maybe 10 Mbps? I have a bunch of videos I can play fine on mine, however, I encoded them at maybe 2 - 4 Mbps. The specs for your Archos says:

Video Playback1 • MPEG-42 HD (up to 720p, 30 fps@6Mbps)

• MPEG-42 (ASP@L5 AVI, up to DVD resolution, 30 fps@8Mbps)

• H.264 HD (HP@L3.1 up to 720p, 30 fps@5Mbps)

• WMV9/VC1 (AP up to 720p 30 fps@10Mbps)

• M-JPEG (Motion JPEG Video) in VGA resolution

With optional plug-in (downloadable on www.archos.com):

• Cinema: MPEG-2 (up to DVD resolution MP/D1, 30 fps@10 Mbps)

With the above codecs, the device can play video files with the following extensions: AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, WMV, MPG, PS, TS, VOB, FLV, RM, RMVB, ASF, 3GP

Are you well within these requirements? A PC or laptop can usually go way past this.

Bye. :cool:
[Gen8 General] creationblur:
One of the files is 720p avc1 dts at 6425 Mbps, and 4.38 gb. I'll have to check the other files when I get home. But that's not too high quality is it?
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
No, but if these are Animes the chance is high that they are encoded with "to many" b-frames.

The Archos allows HP@L3.1 most new HD Animes are encoded as HP@L5 which has way to many B-Frames for the small buffer on the DSP.
[Gen8 General] CrunchyDoodle:
I think you are pushing it on the bit rate. I have tried encoding at various bit rates and quite frankly, encoding at 2 Mbps is good enough visually on an A101. I suggest Handbrake to re-encode down to 2 - 4 Mbps.

Bye. :cool:
[Gen8 General] creationblur:
I agree, but we shouldn't have to, ya know!?!
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
You read my answer?
[Gen8 General] CrunchyDoodle:
And if grandma had wheels she'd be a streetcar. :rolleyes:

Handbrake is my friend. :D

Bye. :cool:
[Gen8 General] creationblur:
Yes yes, I did. BUT...

And wasn't the new firmware supposed to make these higher profile files play better??

wish in one hand....
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
No.

The decoding of highbitrate files within the specs is better now.

"One of the files is 720p avc1 dts at 6425 Mbps, and 4.38 gb."

avc1 == H.264 and if you look into the specs, there it says -> H.264 HD (HP@L3.1 up to 720p, 30 fps@5Mbps)

So you are allready above what the DSP ( the VideoCoProcessor in the Chip ) can handle.

And then normally these type of files have variable bitrate and can go up to 20MBit.

And if then these files have more then the allowed 5 B-Frames the dsp just pukes.
[Gen8 General] JasonOT:
So did anything ever come of this?

I'm having the same issue with the latest firmware (2.3.20).

Being able to increase the buffer and waiting a few minutes before watching something would be a whole lot better than copying the entire thing or just sticking to SD.

Might have bricked my phone

So i think my phone is bricked so please help me

I backed up my rom and tried to flash the coredroid rom using clockwork. I cleared the data and the catch and it seemed to install correctly and everything. when i get to the lock screen and unlock it i get:

"Sorry! - the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again later"

and

"Sorry! - the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again later"

along with other processes that stopped.

i can force close everything else, but the first two mentioned are in an infinite loop when i force close them.

at this point i just want my phone to work with or without coredroid so any help would be awesome. you should also assume i am a complete noob at all this so simple terminology would be great

You have to replace system.ext2 and delete data.ext2. All Apps/Configs will get lost.
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
guys, there is probably a wifi setup file that is not present / different than on the system.ext2 of schlund.

on the system.ext2 from cotulla (android 2.1) you have this file named /etc/init.goldfish.sh that actually initializes the ethernet to some fixed values.

maybe you can check the differences with the same file in android 2.2

[HD Mini Android Development] -kOS-:
This is happening to me too, i think is because we don't have SD support yet...

In the Wifi subject, is working perfect for me, I have froyo (v2.2), the only thing i have to do is to assign the ip manually, because the DHCP discovery is not working in 2.2
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
What did you do? For me and other its not working in froyo :/

I can download apps from the store, but installation fails (insufficient storage)

But you can install apk´s via adb install :)
[HD Mini Android Development] spithash:
you assigned only the ip or and the other settings too?

And now i have a new problem.it is unable to find any wifi connection....wth?
[HD Mini Android Development] -kOS-:
I've assign all the settings in the advanced wifi confg, BTW i have to start from a fresh froyo "install" to made the wifi works, because with the old one even android won't boot with the fix.
[HD Mini Android Development] sunnyhj:
Just turned on wifi on froyo

Guys..!!...i just turned on successfully WIFI on froyo 2.2....:D

First i was having problems installing the kernel on 2.2 ...

when u replace kernel on 2.1 u usually get this message..

"removing old bcm4329 module....

adb server is out of date. killing...

* daemon started successfully *

putting new modules to phone...

1647 KB/s (237262 bytes in 0.140s)

...If you dont see errors, you are done!!!"

but when i was trying to install on 2.2 it was just repeating on ..saying that it can not start deamon successfully bla bla..:p

SO what i did was i opened task manager... when to processes and killed the adb.exe and any HTC related processes..and then ran again the run.bat...and voila.. it worked..!!!

got the message

"putting new modules to phone...

1647 KB/s (237262 bytes in 0.140s)

...If you dont see errors, you are done!!!"

after that i turned on my wifi immediately prayed to god it will start this time..n it DID..:D

hope it works for everyone..:)
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Very strange. I did the adb stuff manually and it does not work. I did not get warnings about the ADB daemon...
[HD Mini Android Development] sunnyhj:
well its working for me....

after that it was stuck on obtaining ip address..so i gave it a static one..n now its working perfectly..:)
[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
Can you upload your working system.ext2 ?
[HD Mini Android Development] sunnyhj:
yeah sure i'll upload it immediately
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
worked from first try now on 2.2 :O

but same as u got stucked on obtaining ip address...

how did u manage to add a static ip?by adding wi-fi network?
[HD Mini Android Development] newto:
guys it's really simple.

install htc sync, do not run it, let it be closed, connect the phone through USB to ur PC, let the driver install automatically, than run the run.bat. done

the wifi works BUT you need to set the IPs manually since the DHCP is not enabled YET.

to set IPs manually, go to wireless settings where u scan for an access point, click on the home icon on ur phone, a menu will appear, go to advanced and from here on you should know your IP range and fill in the blanks. n ur done.
[HD Mini Android Development] sunnyhj:
no no..just turn on the wifi...then go to the wifi settings press the home button..a popup menu will appear with an option of advanced settings..click it..in there..there will be option of static ip..choose it and fill it...

mine is

ipaddress 192.168.1.7

gateway 192.168.1.1

netmask 255.255.255.0

dns1 192.168.1.1
