Atrix screen and HDMI sample videos

Last night I went to a concert and taped the show. The screen remained on for the entire 2 hours and still had 70% battery power left. If I were on my previous Captivate it would not have lasted 2 hours. It would seem the same people unhappy with the Atrix screen would be unhappy with the battery life if the Atrix had a different screen. I have posted this before: the Atrix screen is perfectly fine, even better than fine considering its efficiency. I have several hi res (720p) movies that look absolutely wonderful on the Atrix. Colors and resolution look beautiful. The colors do not have the super saturation of the Captivate, but still perfectly fine. Motorola should have provided some sample videos, but they didn't.

I was in the AT&T store playing around with the docks. There are 4 720p sample videos on the phone apparently only available thru HDMI. If someone could post those videos here so we can all have a look at them that may help quiet the screen concerns.
[Atrix 4G General] kkeo:
It's not so much pixelated, but pixel-less. Text is undeniably sharper on the Atrix than it was on the Captivate.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
I don't disagree with that, but when you look at green text there us definitely a difference vs other colors.
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
aside from the iphone 4 which ofcourse has a better screen..

why would i want to go with an atrix screen and not a super amoled screen if i can see the pixels on both screens. yet the super amoled has better blacks and better colors in general ?

mind you i have used all phones including the atrix " even though it was a short period of time "
[Atrix 4G General] alphadog00:
I am happy with the screen. It is not perfect, but then it is a mobile phone.

If i want awesome colors and deep blacks I have a rockin' 54" plasma. If I want super clear high resolution fonts, I got a great monitor.

I will trade a perfect phone screen for better battery any day. And for me, this pentile display is damn near perfect.
[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
Lol nice one or maybe he is hypnotizing himself that the Pentile display is acceptable because he doesn't want to go through the trouble of returning the dual core webtop phone LOL :-D

But seriously SUPER AMOLED screen has very vibrant color which I actually like but the battery life is bad for web browsing. I wish they have sepcial designed webpage viewer to create black background and white text for SUPER AMOLED screen to conserve battery life.

Finally, I think I've gotten used to the Pentile screen color. Its not really good bit at least its acceptable eventhough the color are distorted and not sure if software can solve the color issue.
[Atrix 4G General] W3BSurfer:
So, everyone is complaining about the Atrix display? What about the cellphones dating back from the 1990's? I bet the display was pretty ****ty too. Oh wait, i dont see anyone complaining. Did any of you know about Pentile display back then? NO!?

Please spare us the comparison of what display is better etc..

Here is an idea. Why dont the rest of the ppl who complain about Pentile/SAMOLED etc..invent your own display? simple as that.

You dont like the display on the phone, DONT BUY IT! Stop whining about it.

Is this a Tegra 2 supporting image for a future asus device?

http://update.eeepc.asus.com/EP90/ASUS/EN/EE/update.aspkg

So I don't know what I'm looking at here, but I was reading about the ASUS EP90 which is a tegra 2 based tablet coming out sometime soon...

Given that, a little googling popped up this asus update path, after looking at the aspkg from a hex editor I realized it was a jar, when I extracted the contents it appears like an android system I think.. I don't know how to layout or configure one though.

Wonder what version it is or etc, anybody care to look and see?

Also, at http://update.eeepc.asus.com/EP90/ASUS/EN/EE/ there's a test folder with other update.aspkg (of different size) and other such stuff if you traverse around a bit

QQplayer is also worth a look, auto scans your SD, and only presents you with video files to play, also saves your position on multiple files, so resuming playback, even across multiple videos, is easy.

Rockplayer is the fastest player with the best neon optimizations support as far as I know but now I'm not so sure anymore since I've read about Moboplayer... I definitely gotta give it a try, thank you infamous6622 for the tip :D

[Desire General] z0mg.jer1Cho:
Zimly is an awesome Player!!
[Desire General] chumkila:
Another vote for QQplayer, it also does not need any special permissions whereas if you care to look at Zimly it wants to

"read phone state and identity

Allows the application to access the phone features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call is connected to and the like."

as well as

"change Wi-Fi state

Allows an application to connect to and disconnect from Wi-Fi access points, and to make changes to configured Wi-Fi networks."

Call me a cynic but without knowing any more details of the above there's no way I'd install Zimly.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i just used es file explorer then selected the vid and it opened in vplayer.

dont think i've ever actually opened vplayer as an app in itself
[Desire General] baao:
Vote for vplayer. It's fast and plays

quite everything.

I have to say VPlayer plays all my media just fine - I haven't needed to look elsewhere for a media player.
[Desire General] parsvbulletin:
the best player is vplayer for avi and etc...
[Desire General] infamous6622:
moboplayer is now in marketplace, its got a great UI
[Desire General] cr1960:
moboplayer looks great, but can anyone tell me why a video player needs these permissions? This app might just do more on your device than just play back stuff :rolleyes:

[Atrix 4G General] blaxer:
I did a bunch of searches to see if this topic has been brough up before and I couldn't find anything, but if I just missed it then I apologize.

I am wondering if there are any keyboard shortcuts available while using the "Mobile View" via the laptop dock. For example, I have text messaging open, I type a text message and I would like to use a keyboard shortcut to send the text message rather than having to click send.

TIA!

Blax.
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Try Control-Enter. That works in Handcent at least.
[Atrix 4G General] blaxer:
No luck, the control key seems to be the same as hitting the "menu" button on the device.
[Atrix 4G General] agentdr8:
Not sure how the laptop dock has the keys mapped, but you should be able to remap the Control key to send 0x25 (left) or 0x6d (right) using xev (to figure out the default keycode of that key) and xmodmap (to remap it to send those keycodes). Maybe try Alt-Enter?
[Atrix 4G General] Luckylucky777s:
Press Tab until Send illuminates in orange, then press Enter. It only works half the time though for some reason. Hope this half-way helps!
[Atrix 4G General] hallfleming:
i noticed this problem since the last update...
[Atrix 4G General] Luckylucky777s:
Alright, FOR SURE how to do it is when you get to the end of your text message, press the right arrow and it will highlight send. It works every time, unlike pressing Tab.

Anybody know if you don't live in a 4G area, but you travel to one (ie. I live 20minutes from a 4G location) will 4G work for you? Or do you have to actually activate the LTE SIM card at Verizon?

I asked Verizon about adding 4G to my account and they said they can't until my address is in a 4G covered area.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zax10:
This is not correct. Your thunderbolts sim card was activated at time of purchase for 4g. It foes not matter where it was activated. You are able to travel to and from 4g as pleased.

[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Just what it says? Which gives me more bang for the buck.

Looking for 16 gig, class 10 or comparable.

SanDisk and Transcend seem to me to be the better choices....

SanDisk is a bit more expensive, though, and cost is a factor.

I may be wrong though.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatusmguy:
Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer help with this. I've had my Atrix since launch and there's been about 4 times now (all seemingly after i've hooked the phone to computer with either phone portal, windows sync, or mass storage) where the assigned ringtones for contacts and even my regular ringtone has been changed or reassigned to some random song from my library. I don't know if there's something to hooking it up and it messes with the memory that juggles the ringtones/songs or what. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, has it been addressed/fixed? Thanks in advance for any help offered.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhodges:
I have the exact same issue and have been posting about it on the Motorola forum as well. Over there the Motorola folks ask you questions and try to get a fix out to everyone, so please check it out if you haven't already.

My issue has happened a lot morethan yours it seems, however, I use extra batteries, so the phone reboots more often.

This is what I posted over there a little while ago:

Internal phone storage keeps disappearing

The "Disappearing ringtones" discussion was closed and merged with this one, but my issue is not the same as the internal memory being wiped.

My files are still on the card and internal memory, but the contacts, alarms, messaging, calendar, etc apps can't remember the tones I set.

I have copied the files to the following locations with the same issue recurring:

/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/system/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard-ext/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

/sdcard-ext/media/audio/(alarms, notifications and ringtones)

Even after moving them with RootExporer to the "non-mountable" storage (/system) they are still reassigning and setting to "unknown".

Possibly related issue. The playlists I create with MixZing, winAmp, and astro are empty are the phone reboots.

Occasionally I get the "no files" error when I check the mounted card in file manager, but if I manualy unmount and remount the card, they are still there.

I keep missing calls, texts and having my alarms "silent". This is getting frustrating. I bought the Atrix on launch day so I need to exchange NOW if that is what is needed.

Other than the above and the losing data connection issue, I LOVE THIS PHONE
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatusmguy:
Yeah, i've placed my ringtones (all .m4a format) on both the internal/external memory slots and for some reason, when it gets hooked up i'm in the same boat you are...very frustrating i've missed calls and messages as well. surprising that no one from Moto has a resolution for it...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaLiBLeeK:
I've run into the same problem, and was planning on moving 'em into the /system/media folder...but it sounds like that won't fix it. Drats.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vertigocreative:
I've had this issue as well. The random song problem seems to only affect contacts I have set up with a custom tone. No telling what song/sound will play for which contact. Otherwise it has simply changed my default ringtone to a particular mp3 that then becomes the default tone. Really weird.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhodges:
I do still have the issue with the files in the /system folder, but much less. So I would try them there to lessen the problem. Westill need a complete fix though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhodges:
This issue is still a problem. There are even some apps that can't see the files on the internal card or external card. Even after the OTA update this problem is driving me crazy.

I think you dont hear about this issue more because some people dont connect there phone to the computer or remove the battery often. It seems to be a problem with reading the info off the card when it is remounted. On my captivate when I remounted the card it would always scan the card. This phone doesn't.

Any ideas.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raindance:
Yeah I had this problem too. Was the only thing, and I mean the only thing I didn't like about this phone. I found the only way to fix it is to root the phone and move your personal ringtones to the '/system/media/audio/ringtones' folder using Root Explorer (you can buy it oin the market. Great app BTW). This solved all my problems. I know it's not "right" but it works great. Now I have zero problems with this phone.

[Defy General] Step666:
So my earpiece has gone.

Not crackly, not distorted, just nothing - silence.

It was fine a couple of days ago and now it's completely dead.

The phone hasn't been dropped (well, tossed on a mattress/duvet when I'm heading to bed but not onto anything hard and from no great height), I haven't tempted fate by submerging it, I've properly nursed this phone and it's still died on me.

The one thing that I did do between it working and today was flash a different ROM.

I'm just wondering whether there's any chance that might've had something to do with it?

I went from '3.4.2 131-003' to '3.4.2-155-2'.

I know it's a long shot but that couldn't possibly be the cause, could it?
[Defy General] zakoo2:
Many people have already complained about that problem (just google it!), return the phone (if your warranty isn't void because of the flashing, but i think it only affects software warranty), and they'll get you a new one. As far as I know, the newly produced defys don't have that defect anymore, mine - which I bought a couple of weeks ago - works just fine (fingers crossed!).
[Defy General] Step666:
I'm aware that it's a known issue, I was asking because it seems that normally the earpiece gets crackly then dies whereas mine has gone from absolutely fine to completely dead in a couple of days with no usage in-between and the fact it happened after I flashed a new ROM seems coincidental to say the least.

As for the warranty, I have flashed ROMs, so fingers crossed.
[Defy General] Drizzur Urden:
same problem

I've the same problem.. no crackling, total silence. yesterday it worked perfectly fine, but since today no sound at all.

didn't do anything weird with it; flashed another froyo rom one week ago, but I can hardly imagine it has something to do with it...

I red there were more persons with a earpiece problem, but I couldn't find anyone who's got total silence from one moment to another..

is there info about this issue?

greetz
[Defy General] lilzad:
mine has gone from working to total silent the way mine was crackly was if i blew into it, it would work sometimes but now nothing at all i need to get a replaceable but dnt ave time :(
[Defy General] Step666:
The problem is due to a bad connection, so I suppose it is possible it would break cleanly, going from working to silence with no interference/crackling.

I was just hoping I could fix it myself without having to rely on the Motorola warranty lottery :(
