I'm trying to figure out if there is something wrong with my TF or if this is normal?
I've tried both uPnplay and skifta to watch shows that I have recorded on my windows media Center 7 computer. When I choose a show to watch I have issues with quality. I've tried moboplay, vplayer, but no luck.
Moboplay does the best job at video quality, but I lose the sound after about 10 seconds. If I stop the show and restart I get sound for another 10 seconds.
mx videoplayer plays, but the picture is pixelating and the sound is breaking up. I've tried different setting, but then it run in slow motion.
If there something wrong with my TF or is this what you guys are getting?
I just bought my transformer a couple days ago. I haven't had any issues similiar to that yet. I have mobo and have no sound issues. Are you rooted, romed, or have downloaded an OTA update?
Good question. I have all the latest updates 3.2 and I am running stock. I am not rooted. Just running orig stock. I'm still getting up the courage to root my device.
Because u are having issues with it,my advice is don't root it just yet. And if u just purchased it, wait it out and see if it fixes itself. (Not likely though) if it doesn't then exchange it before the return expiration date. If you are outside of that window, then wait it out some more and if not, do a warranty exchange. If there was a reliable safe way to wipe it and reflash the stock rom, I would suggest that first. But from the look of things as of this date, I wouldn't try it.

thanks, I'm trying to get a sanity check. Can anyone verify they are using skifta or upnplay and windows media center without issues? I can play local files without issues. So I think the issue may not be with my TF. Feedback would be appreciated.

Hello,
I've enjoyed this app for quite some time now, it works great. However, I'm running into a problem I had way back when I first got it.
I'm encoding for my moto-droid. I set the resolution for droid-size, and bitrates at 768/192. The moment I start the program, the video kbps drops to 200?? It did something very similar before, but I can't remember how I remedied the situation.
It's weird it just seemed to happen all of a sudden, in the last 24 hours. I did change one thing which was my audio card, and uninstalled asus drivers then installed creative drivers.
The other thing which happened at the same time is that the program stopped being able to see my server, yesterday fine, today no. I may just try a system restore, and see if the creative drivers had anything to do with it.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue(s)?
Thanks!

i have the original Vibrant...everything works flawlessly...always has...until now...not sure why, but for some reason, all of my videos in my gallery and songs in the music player, if i tap them to play, i get an error like "sorry, this video cannot be played" or "this is an unsupported media type"...even with the avatar that came preloaded...but if i turn the phone off...then back on...the videos and music play just fine...but after awhile, the same thing happens...just will not play anything and says its unsupported...i tried a factory reset and formatted the SD card because i had moved a few apps from SD storage to Phone (thinking that was the issue)...it wasnt...and the factory reset did nothing...i contacted T-Mo and theyre sending me a replacement device...but if at all possible, id like to keep the one i have as opposed to a possible refurb...anyone have any experience with this issue or know of a fix? i have done no modifications to the phone...it was a stock 2.1 when i bought it new, and i updated to 2.2 the day it was released...the phone has always worked perfectly and ive never had an issue at all with it...this is what puzzles me the most...any help is much appreciated!
The issue is with 2.2. you should downgrade back to 2.1. or better yet, root it and put Bionix (or another ROM of choice) on it. Im a vibrant user myself
Hi,
Just got the info from my children that mp3 decoding on their phones is not working (music player hangs).
Both have a Galaxy 3 updated with standard Android 2.2 (subversion is slightly different bcause of different phone customzations by the phone provider).
I tried different music players (stock, google music, winamp) but all causes the same effect: phone starts vibrating and the app crashes...
Of course, no troubles with any other media (video, youtube...).
Given all music apps are impacted, I suspect a problem in a system library.
I've searched in the forums, but found no mentions about my problem (strange, it is on two phones, so should be pretty common).
I'd like to stay with the stock rom, so I'd prefer either installing an app self contained (not using sytem libraries for decoding), or somehow fixing the system libraries w/o having to install a new rom.
I'd like to know if I'm the only one in this position, and if you have suggestions for a fix.
Thanks
You must do a hard reset of your phone.
Just type in *2767*3855# and your phone will restart.
Keep in mind that you will lose your data on your phone like: unsaved phone numbers, installed apps, mp3 (all are in your phone internal memory witch will get erased), those stored on you micro sd flash will not suffer any changes, so save your apps(or download them again), mp3,photos on your micro sd.
If this helps you please give me a thanks.
Hard reset done on one of the two phones, but problem is still there: mp3 player crashes (I've not yet re-installed 3rd party players, but bug is exactly the same as before the reset: mp3 starts playing few seconds, then phone vibrates and music hangs).
Rom on the two phones is JP4.
Also to note an other strange behavior: the phone shows a warning message when launching apps accessing the network (market, browser) to ask to activate mobile data connection... even when the phone is connected through wifi. This was not the case before the froyo update.
I'm not finding all this much normal...
Any further suggestion (I understand last resource is anyway installing Kyrillos rom)?
Thanks
Try the Miui player works perfect for me on kyrillos rom 9.2

I see. There is something you could do, and that is flashing the Rom again. Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940 to get the latest rom and flashing tools and here is the flashing tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880, i can bet that this will fix your problem. Or you can go to a local samsung service for repair, you do have warranty?

On other forums I found the problem is not uncommon.
Songbird is not exceptional, but does not use the buggy system library and works like a charm.
I've removed the stock app icon just to avoid running it accidentally...
It's a pity not being able to share songs with google music (app is using the buggy lib)
may b sumthin wrong wid sd. backup ur sd data & format it.. via phone.. then restore backed uo data.. & then try if they give fcs anymore.. :/
btw if possible let ur children to talk wid us, they might know better their phone than u .. no disrespect but its true.. :/

Hi guys, wondering if there's anyone out there that might be able to help me with this. I was at a friends concert last night and was recording the whole thing. Bad planning on my part, I only had about 35% of my battery. I got close to half an hour of recording, but pushed my luck and kept recording til the phone died. Today, when I looked at my creation, it's a 700MB file but doesnt play (Ive tried VLC and Windows Media as well as the built in player and MX so far). Can anyone suggest a way to "recover" what I've recorded?
I highly doubt it because, since the encoding process is incomplete it's going give you an error. This is similar to making CD's. A CD needs to be finalized at the end in order to be played, if it's not finalized it won't play even though all your information has been burned on.
Device is locked and never been rooted. Took the 5.1.1 update and apps like Netflix and HBO GO fail unerringly after 1-5 minutes of streaming.
Somethings...
-Neither app actually crashes to the desktop. It crashes to the apps main menu.
-Both apps attempt to "redraw" (3-4 times in quick succession) after the player fails, then I can usually reload the video.
I have...
-Cleared data/cache
-uninstall/reinstall the apps
-did a full factory reset
ANY thoughts would be really appreciated. Not having much like finding any resolution here. Thx in advance
I have the same problem. I have flashed the latest firmware with Kies and Odin to make sure there were not issues and still Netflix stops playing as does Youtube, Plex etc...
I have spent around 8 hours trying to find a fix to no avail. I made sure that Display > Smart screen options were disabled. In developer options I checked Force GPU rendering and Turn off hardware overlays. I also tried and unending list of other settings to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks Chris

Go in to About Device in Settings. Does your status show "custom?" If it does, remove your SD card and transfer the files on it to your PC. Reformat the card on your Note and afterwards put the files back on it. There's a strange SD card glitch that occasionally causes the system status to show custom when it's not.

No my Device Status is Official. I tried using a different launcher "Google Now" hoping that a more simple launcher might clear things up but no luck. Netflix stops playing after a couple of minutes and youtube pauses. I want to be clear Netflix does not crash it just goes back to the menu where I can hit play again.
This fixed my tablet!
I may have found a fix. At least this fixed the issue for me.
The Back Story: (for you to compare similarities in device errors)
I have been having the same which started after the update. and my tablet has never been rooted either. I chatted with Samsung several times. They acted like this has never happened before and they kept saying it might be a bad wifi antenna. Which sounded like BS since I was able to surf the web and even watch youtube through chrome no problem. If I tried to watch videos on youtube, netflix, vudu it would reset as you mentioned. I even noticed that when I was using Polaris word it would erase everthying I had written randonmly. Samsung also tried to say it could be the app itself. Which I instantly doubted since the apps are made by different companies. I did the factory reset. I even took the tablet to Best Buy to have them do a system re-flash with no luck. I almost sent the tablet to samsung to have them try to fix it, but I had a feeling it was something easy to fix and I could save myself money.
THE FIX:........ I have no clue why this worked. If anyone knows why it worked I sure wouldn't mind hearing your thought!
1. Pop the sim card out.
2. Try playing videos on your apps. (Be sure to check a couple apps) It worked like a charm for me. I dont think I had to reboot to get it to work, but the fix stays after a reboot.
3. What you do not want to do is put the sim card back in because you will have the issue again.
- If you do put the card back in dont worry. You can simply remove it again and it will work again.
One thing to keep in mind.....I stopped my subscription on my verizon data plan. So it doesn't matter to me if the sim card is in. So If you still use Verizon Data plan and this fix worked then you should contact Verizon and let them know whats going on. Maybe you just need a new Sim Card. Like I said I don't know why it worked, but it did. I had data turned off completely so my device shouldn't have been trying to use anything other than wifi.
Please let me know if this works for you as well!
Thanks are always welcome!

It Worked!!!
Thanks very much for the suggestion. As it turns out the tablet came to me with a sim card in it. I never intended on using it with Verizon so I did not look. Once I removed the inactive sim card everything worked great.
Thanks again I really appreciate the help.
