UPDATE FAIL!

thanks for the help

I apologize for the bad translation
[G1 General] androidcues:
Sounds like you have the Sapphire and you need Sappimg.nbh.

The dream and sapphire look very different. Sapphire has no keyboard and Dream does.

Please read the wiki ..carefully.
[G1 General] KILOPIKO:
I have carefully read the wiki but I have not found anything that can help me

the file is not recognized Sappimg.nbh g1

I would like to try the gold card but I have a terminal running Windows CE and even fastboot

Dear All.

I would like to ask owner's opinion about LG 2x screen legibility under bright sunlight. This is important for me.

Also, if it's possible, please compare LG 2x with e71, e72, SE x10 or iphone.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] drrogern:
not exactly what you asked for, but I've read in a test from a norwegian IT site that the light is better then most other phones in sunlight :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Kendoji:
It should certainly be better than AMOLED phones such as the Galaxy and Desire.

If the sun decides to shine tomorrow, Ill compare it to my X10 :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Earthbrain:
Can the Galaxy Tab play high-profile .mkv files flawlessly?

What I am talking about is 720p .mkv files with high bit rate ( 4,000+ kbps ) without DTS sound (just AAC sound) flawlessly?

The Xoom is having problem in this department.

Also, what player do you use? Default, or Rockplayer or others?
[Galaxy Tab General] ggursel:
Standard video player plays 1080p and 720p without any problem...
[Galaxy Tab General] skee^:
i use mVideoplayer, like it that it can extract subtitles from mkv.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Stock video player has played everything for me fine

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
High bit rate 4mbps? Compared to what, a cellphone video? XD

I got the tab to read PERFECTLY a full hd beast peaking roughly at 40mbps. H264, obviously. Was an mp4, but i doubt that a container will make any difference, i did watch several 720p mkv on the tab anyway.

Oh, i almost forgot: all this with the built in player. Using rockplayer in software mode, that 1080p beast ran at 2-3 fps.
[Galaxy Tab General] richard_rama:
I have played 720p MKV file. But no player seems to play it smoothly. And most of them does not play the sound audibly.

Worse, the stock player do not even recognize the file type. H264 videos are flawless.

any suggestions for the MKV player?
[Galaxy Tab General] AlexTheStampede:
I watched like 6 episodes of Panty and Stocking with the stock player. MKV with subtitles (i had to convert them into srt and put them outside the MKV container...) in 720p and clearly with h264 video and aac audio.

There is maybe something wrong with your player?
[Galaxy Tab General] YoMarK:
I've got some mixed results.

Most files play fine, 1080p or 720p, but it has problems with some files with only DTS or AC3 sound included.
[Galaxy Tab General] Gun-dam:
While the galaxy tab is the best media playing tablet I've tried (not tried the archos 101) it failed to play a 720p blu ray rip with 9 reference frames I think it was encoded with matroska libraries later than 1.0
[Galaxy Tab General] ravness:
Stock Player is amazing. I cannot stress that enough. It can play 1080p and 720p high profile mp4 h.264 videos flawlessly. Only gripe is the non-support for > 2ch audio, but this can be easily remedied via an audio demux with Yamb -> downmix to stereo -> mux new audio with Yamb.

I don't even watch movies on my HTPC anymore, I just downmix the audio, leave the video alone, and paste the file unto my device.

That's.

how.

good.

it.

is.
[Galaxy Tab General] Gun-dam:
I found that using Rockplayer universal with hardware decoding mode plays just as well as the stock play but with the added function of allowing you to choose which audio track to use. However if you have an integrated sub title track mvideoplayer is better. However what the device can play isn't limited to profiles, as I found the tab can play high profile but content encoded with some of the newer matroska libraries, it struggles with.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldskooldawgz:
So my girlfriends vibrant just shut off in the middle of the night. I am not there with her so i cannot help her. She was running stock 2.2 with no mods (she is not a "super user"). Any ideas on how this happened? She was just charging it went to sleep and woke up late because the phone was nothing more than a brick. Any ideas on what happened? She is going to try a different battery when her dad gets home to see if that is it. IDK what else could have happened.

[Epic 4G General] LemonHead2089:
Just recently (like ten minutes ago) I decided I would finally move all my Apps to my sdcard using Titanium Backup. After it was complete, I powered off and back on again just to be safe and noticed all my widgets were messed up, so I removed them and went to add them back on again. Thats when I noticed that none of the apps I originally would see under the widgets menu were there, but they were still installed on my phone. Are all the Widgets that are in Apps placed on our sdcards inaccessible or is it just me? Because if it isn't just me, then having all the Apps on the sdcard is just pointless in my opinion. Anyone else experience this?
[Epic 4G General] lategordon:
You cannot have widgets for Apps that are on your SD card.

It is not just you.

I am not aware of how to fix this.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
It isn't pointless to move apps to your SD just because widgets won't work, the whole point of apps to SD is to move LARGE apps to your SD to have more space on your phone for other apps.
[Epic 4G General] LemonHead2089:
guess I'll just move them back then
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
It's a limitation of googles apps2sd. Just like when you mount the sd card on your pc, those apps become unavailable. Before froyo and native apps2sd, we formatted the sd card with 2 partitions. One fat and one ext, then you union or symlink the ext part to /data/. It worked 1000x better than googles does. Apps where accesible while mounted, and widgets acted normal. Wish we could still do it like this.

If you run with Otterbox not only do you know that it is pure sexiness, but that the silicone layer holds onto a lot of dust and particles, (especially in the groove when the poly-carbonate shell is seperated).

When it finally bothers me enough, I'll take the case off and rinse it with water. Otherwise, I'll just use a moist paper towel.

Mine gets REALLY dirty, too, because I run a distribution warehouse and it's dusty as hell. That and I drive around the building on an electric pallet jack with a dash mount for my phone, a portable speaker system, and a laptop. Gotta have my pandora at work.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zessen:
I'll start from the start.

A trip on my bicycle in rainy weather ended up with a really wet phone despite being wrapped in a plastic bag (obiously that precaution wasn't enough)

I turned it completely off for safety and when I got home I left it to dry for 2 weeks.

Anyway, I turned it on and now it's simply stuck in the boot screen and every once in a while it turns off and turns back on, only to get stuck again. It repeats this boot cycle over and over.

The shop where I bought it aswell as my insurance company won't do anything, since the indicators for water damage are red.

I figured the ROM could have been corrupted somehow and I wanted to run recovery on it.

I tried booting in failsafe and using the recover/clear storage options to no avail.

I browsed around quite a bit in order to find out how to reflash the rom and/or do a proper recovery, but it seems all of them requires a phone that can at least boot.

Phone information through failsafe mode:

Bravo PVT1 (S-ON)

HBoot-0.80.0000

As a bonus info it has an AMOLED display (read somewhere that it could make a difference whether the display was an AMOLED or SLCD)

I wonder if a friendly soul can give me some quite clear directions as to what I can do?

Thanks in advance

Can you boot to the bootloader (Vol down + Power button)?

If not, then you're phone's fried.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zessen:
I can boot into the bootloader.

Using the command "fastboot devices" while in fastboot mode also correctly gives me the hardware ID.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Then you should Flash a RUU for your phone

Also if bootloader works, you can try to ROOT it and flash a custom ROM. Guides in the Developement section.

Been there, done that, doesn't work. I had your same issue, because actually android supports only one Google calendar. I solved giving to my work profile full calendar permissions to my home profile; so from my home profile I can see and modify work calendar.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Avid Droidery:
Im a fairly knowledgeable computer user without a computer!

I love to write programs!

It really is a shame that there is not an onboard development kit for this platform.

I have tried several implementations available in the market. None of them seem to satisfy my thirst.

Before I gave up on sl 4 a, I learned a little about android virtual machine. When coupled with the right tools, and knowledge, full access to the android java api are possible.

Being that I don't have a computer, I cannot compile any wrappers to handle superclassing the api. As you may know a simple hello world gui will not run on android without a superclass.

It is not my aim to go for full fledged on board development. The overhead is way too high. Ie battery power, syntactical semantics storage space for libraries yada yada yada...

Mozilla has the rhino javascript engine which can execute code within the android virtual machine. However as I said before super classing presents a very serious problem.

I aim to write a bridge in java and javascript. However I have no tools to do the java side work.

I do have access to a shell account with a working j d k, but the j d k is not fully compatible with the android sdk. On top of that I'm faced with the 50 megabytes quota offered with my free shell account. The android sdk is 2.5 gigabytes in size approximately.

To sum it all up there are a few files that I need from the android sdk that will allow me to compile java programs using my free shell, and then convert them for usage on the android virtual machine.

The files in question are as follows:

aapt - weird android packaging mechanism

dx - android virtual machine byte code converter.

From my research I have learned that dx is actually a java program that runs in the standard java implementation.

Well whatever the case is I need these programs running on an Ix86 Unix bsd architecture if anyone out there can supply them pre assembled.

This is not an official request for comments but all comments are appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Avid Droidery:
This is how I run my scripts from the shell.

Rhino came to me from sl4a. Sl4a project is unsuccessful @ functional implementation of rhino JavaScript for android at time of this writing.

For whatever purpose sl4a does not execute the dalvik command properly ($BOOTCLASSPATH is being pushed out of context via Rhino or the dalvikvm onLoad) so even though you can install the JavaScript interpreter from sl4a you can't use it without some fancy footwork.

I had to change permissions on my dalvik cache folders as well to get it working on my droid. For some reason the system did not want to accept the rhino library into its dex cache (using cyanogen mod. 6). Just do rwx permissions for everyone on

/data/cache

and

/system/cache

Note that the above file systems are usually mounted read only.

Note also that this is a single line shell command. put it in an sl4a shell script or run it from the terminal.

/system/bin/dalvikvm -Xbootclasspath:/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/mnt/sdcard/com.googlecode.rhinoforandroid/extras/rhino/rhino1_7R2-dex.jar -Xss128k org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main -O -1

Running this command in the terminal will activate a javascript interpreter shell that has full access to the android java framework.

If you would like to run a script instead of an interactive shell please append the following to the preceding command

-f /path/to/your/script/yourscriptName.js

That line would make an interesting argument to your new shell script!

For more information about Rhino see my next post for suggestions and resources.

if you are interested in this project now is a very good time to learn java programming! I just started yesterday and I haven't been to sleep yet! lol. it is also considered a requirement to learn the android java api if you plan to capitalize on its functionality.

Aye.. time for more coffee ..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Avid Droidery:
So no one out there develops for android under linux?

I downloaded the source tree for the davlik virtual machine but there is no make file to compile the project! Tell me that is not aggravating!

The web quotes a file "envsetup.sh" and a command called "lunch" to be run in a 'build' directory. None of these files were supplied with the download. Practices in idiocy should be banned from the web! Lol.

So let's say I used 'git' to grab the source tree of a single project in the android sdk. How am I supposed to build a project with no make file???

The normal way to do this... is to run the gui setup called 'android.' that does me no good. I only have ssh access to my build server!

Is there no 1 out there who can build these files for linux and supply them to me? From what I understand all you need to do is successfully install and configure the sdk and these files will b available to you in the tools directory.

I would like to file an issue about having no text based setup for the android sdk. In the real world we may not always be able to use a graphical user interface. especially under linux/unix/posix! But what good would that do me? I needed these files 3 days ago :(

*update issue filed under general build questions google groups (PC WIZ)

So let's recap.. if you are using the android sdk under linux or if you have physical access to a unix machine and some spare time I could really use your help!!!!

I would like to make this topic become a reality soon.

Ok I got dx up and running.

I found where to get the files prebuilt.

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...11c17b4f5507f00905ec73f2fb90eaa387f72;hb=HEAD

Yes in platform/prebuilt .. @ the android source code repository.

I also downloaded aapt but the library files are not available on my system for this build. :( I don't have the rights to upgrade my development server. Stay tuned.

Here is stderr output from './aapt':

./aapt: /usr/lib/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by ./aapt)

./aapt: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./aapt)

If you are thinking of downloading any files from the source code repository using your android device you will be very disappointed! wget fails to download the raw views of the files and reports them as garbage. The built in download manager just keeps tellin me download unsuccessful. In short it took me the better part of 3 hours to get 3 files using 3 different downloaders.

I was unable to download the shell script 'dx' nor was I able to cut copy paste the full source because android would not let me :( everything it did let me copy had line terminators removed. Somebody needs to fix that clipboard!! Tell me that's not aggravating!

In retrospect the browser should not say 'select text' as a menu option. It should say 'select some of this text, mangle it and then send it to the clipboard' lol.

Anonymous ftp access should be an open source requirement! I blame today's shortcomings on all open source licenses! Lmfao.

Anyone out there care to donate a 19th/Early 20th century laptop?

I am starting to think like a rhino. I can tell because I'm ready to run my head through the wall! @ aggravating factors.

I am beginning to believe that the android platform is cursed! Lol.

The android devices are awesome! I don't really mean to offend anyone but the software is ****. The source code tree doesn't even resemble a tree.

No offense to Linus Torvalds But you shoulda stuck to hardware programming. I would like to show you a picture of what a git managed project looks like to me.

I don't know anything technical about it but I think you missed a paper or two on derivative theory. I dont know calculus but everyone knows that a seed from a tree makes a new tree. In retrospect, common sense is pure logic dressed up by the mind as a perception of reality.

My perception of your project and the issue of fault may be wrong but this monstrosity is hosted on your site (android.git.kernel.org)

Please don't get me wrong sir linux is the best damn thing running and everyone involved in its development owes that to you.

I really wish the android platform would have stuck with the tried and true GNU development system. Where source code (seeds) can be downloaded as a seperate package and module dependencies (earth, water, sun, etc..) are easily solved.

I predict this platform will fail within the next 10 years because of this build system. It is quite simply too complicated for new programmers to get on board with fresh ideas. Not to mention the amount of prior knowledge and lofty resources it requires to do so. This is a systemic issue. The flow of integration and information is invaluable to software development. I'm here to tell you the **** doesn't flow.

If anyone dares to challenge these points of authority, might you consider telling me why an open source platform with open source software does not have a bona fide linux distribution like Gentoo, damn small linux, or micro linux? I assure you it is not because no one would use it.
