Putting videos is not a big deal. Just connect your phone to computer, (it automatically connects in MTP) open the explorer and copy it like a normal file. - This is how it's done in the Windows. I don't have a Mac so you can try if the above helps.

okay. figured it out.. I can't transfer any movies over 6 gb.. per file... xperia doesn't.like that.
because of the hd screen. I am transferring hd..

fat 32.. that's why...

[REQUEST] Avatar movie file, mobi tv, sims 3, Gogo, etc

Could someone please post the avatar movie file and the other exclusive apps, such as sim 3, mobi tv, and gogo, and whatever other useful apks i can use on my evo.
Download the vibrant dump from the developer section. It does not come with the avatar movie though, nor will the avatar movie even work on your evo its got DRM. It also does not have the sims 3 and we cant post it... that would be illegal lol....

Cool features? I rather get stock Android applications, a lot of these things that hes requesting for are bloatware and a lot of us uninstall it. The things like The Sims and Avatar are neat but they are DRM protected. Also the applications like Mobitv, Kindle, etc that come preloaded with the phone aren't the actual app.. they are generally 30-day trials.
How bout you get rid of that evo and get a vibrant, or epic if your on sprint.

It WILL play without the apk file, it WILL play if moved to another Vibrant, it WON'T play on any other device, and it IS illegal to upload it because it's copyright Fox or whomever.
On a side note, how the HELL do people keep deleting this thing?
Oh, and because it was bothering me: "Avatar", "without", "Could", "Avatar", "their".

He is right. I rooted my Vibrant and swapped out the SD Card. After that,
I deleted the apk and such, then moved the movie files to my new SD Card.
No apk, file plays flawlessly.
Strange cause when you move it over to a mytouch slide it won't play.

It's only licensed to play on the Vibrant.
Possibly only on Samsung's customized rom, too (IOW, you won't be able to play it on CM6).

DRM is preventing that.
This is why posting this for vibrant users should be ok.

it is protected... I wanted to change my SD from the stock 2gb to a 16gb, so I copy the movie to my laptop, the from the laptop to the 16gb and when I put the 16gb in the phone, the movie won't play, it says format not supported. I had to copy the movie to the phone, and from the phone to the new 16gb SD

Or if you got a old phone with a SD card hook both up to the USB and just copy it over to the new SD card. Or you could probably even get away with copying it to your Samsung 14GB internal then switching the old SD to the new and then cutting it into the new SD card

[Q] downloading movies on galaxy

Hello to y'all.
I got my new S2 yesterday replacing my tired iphone 3.
I am very impressed.
I am downloading ripped DVDs to it and have a question.
I am using rip it for me, DVD decrypter and DVD shrink to rip DVD
Then using any video converter to convert to MP4.
So far so good (not bad for an old bloke)
when I have finished the above there are 5 seperate files in the completed folder.
Try as I might I can not change that
I transfer them over to the phone using kies air and then there are 5 seperate parts to the movie.
It plays ok but is there any way I can get them all into one file/folder for ease of use.
Oh and while I think about it, is there an easier way to do it?
Bearing in mind I am a tight fisted northerner and like free programmes.
Thanks awfully
Or you could just move the entire 720p/divx/xvid movie to the phone and play it without converting it since the SGS2 supports pretty much every format
Wow, so many programs for ripping a dvd and converting. There should be enough on video-help.com that can do it all in one.

rip and convert can finish with one tool, basd on your situation, i recommend you fox real DVD ripper, with its "merge into one file" function, you can join the seperate files together, but it's shareware, you can try the free version, but there is an icon in the centre of the result video.
i once used handbrake, it a free dvd tool, but it can't merge all files in one and i can't smoothly to use, finally, i take some money to buy the foxreal's, everything is gone well

Thats what I do. 32gig micro SD card stores pretty much everything and if the built in video player doesn't support the file type then the free MoboPlayer does
thank you all.
I tried to put the original file in but when I clicked upload from kies and went to the file there was nothiong in it.
Any suggestions?
the vidoes are saved as .VOB?
does that mean anthing to you?
Guessing all the parts of the video are the same size and resolution, a simple video joiner (or merger) should do the trick.
Here is a free one that seems to work:

Thanks am downloading the joiner programme now.
After some research on the old tinternet i realise that VOB is just another video format nut SG2 doesnt play it.
I have tried a few programmes that will rip the dvd to MP4 so avoiding the palava, but most of them wont rip protected DVD's.
I do find DVD dycrypter working alongside ripitforme the best at bypassing protection.
I have tried handbrake, it is indeed very good but oh so slow.
Does anyone else have any other suggestion for ripping tool that is quick and good at getting past protection all in one.

It can be annoying when you want to rip your own purchased DVDs and watch them on-the-go on a phone or tablet, but the DVD is protected. For that very reason I would suggest AnyDVD...
http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html
It bypasses the "protection" that stops you copying your own property. They describe it as "fixing" it.
I obviously in no way condone or take part in any form of media piracy. We're talking about using something that we have bought and paid for

I got one from Woot for $179. I think it's a great design personally. I know it's been trashed but I don't think enough people appreciate it's concept.
The split screen is not that big of a deal for web browsing. Netflix is just fine on the top screen. Having the dedicated screen for the keyboard is great.
The single best thing is the second screen for thumb swiping when browsing/reading. Instead of having to swipe at an angle, you can swipe horizontally. This might not sound like much but in heavy use it makes a big difference.
Right now, I prefer it over my HP Touchpad (CM10), Kindle Fire, and HTC Evo 4G.
Thanks,

how to make calls in Sony SGPT211IN/S

iam surprised to see a post here ... anyway.. there is no way to hack nd enable calling function in tablet P.. i bought this tab P so cheaply on a online site abt 3 months ago.. nd i like this device nd it suits my usage but the rest of the world rejected long before.. there is not even a dedicated development forum for this device.. no support from sony.. no one knows this device nd no one minds this device.. this is a piece of a rare earth element!!!
so with no support its very risky to do hacking or do somthn as if anythn goes wrong, there is no sony stock repair service, no sony pc companion support nd no devs to help .. there is just tablet S tool to root this device nd may b with tablet S tools may b posible to flash stock or custom roms.. but still i didnt try any of it..want root function.. ! there is no proven result using tablet S tools for tab P. so very risky to do anythn.
there is a tablet P forum at pocketables website.. there too only method to root nd nothn else..
feel free to share anythn related to this device..if any help needed just post here..iam trying to port timescape nd xperia tablet Z launcher nd functions.. ya needed root function.nd i guess i may do it soon.

Search some of my previous posts and other's.
No voice calling but you can try VOIP, the modem card didn't have this function.No having can help.
I did so I could with mine, an AT&T 3G model. I almost got stuck with bricking but survive. Info is sparse on this model on hacking but most things on A model apply.
I updated it to 4.0, root it (said to be impossible from stock but I did,I won't recommend this route,I had only succeeded after many tries), swap out the modem card to an unlocked one, as cannot be unlocked. Lots of work but better.
It is the only tablet that is truly portable and pocketable. But viewing video on full screen is hard to get used to, and viewing in half screen makes it smaller size than my note 2! Ironic. Deep black and nice color on the screen, what a pity.
I also bought it during woot sale, the leather case I chose as part the deal is nice but I usually don't carry it.

[Q] Samsung Note 2

So hello, I would like to ask a few questions about Note 2.
1. I have GT-N7000, what is the difference between this one and just Note 2?
2. How can I upgrade my android? Right now I have 4.0.4, which came by default.

There is a HUGE difference between the 2 devices. Obviously the original Note, the one you have, is running on ICS, while the Note 2 has 4.1 Jellybean. Note 2 has significantly better hardware as well. Quad core and 2 GB of RAM, as opposed to Dual core and 1 GB RAM. Also, Note 1 has PenTile Matrix, while Note 2 has RGB Matrix. Note 2 is also 0.2" bigger. There are a bunch of other differences such as SPen improvements and different Touchwiz UIs, so I wont continue. The official update is coming, according to GSMarena, so just wait. That or root your device and flash a custom ROM on it. Search on Google or XDA on how to do so. If you want more info on Note 2, here it is: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_ii_n7100-4854.php
PS. Instead of asking this, you could have found your answers on Youtube and Google.

umm. tb is terabyte. That would not be possible to fit on a smartphone. I think you mean mb? Even 30 gb of stuff is a bit of a stretch. And what do you mean that you're trying to add to your phone? Music? When I add files, such as roms, kernels, music, photos, etc, I just open Computer, and find the removable disk and then drag and drop into the sd card. Dunno why you're using Kies... Anyway, Im not exactly sure what you're trying to say here.

Xperia P disassembly

Hey everyone, i have accidently dropped my Xperia P some time ago and the screen cracked ....
Today i am buying a Xperia P phone with a broken motherboard so i will use the display from that Xperia to replace it with mine.
Has anyone before opened/disassembled a Xperia P, is it hard and are there any pic or video tutorials?
I am not afraid to open it by myself but i want to inform myself first, i am also doing PC, PS3 and laptop disassemblys and repairs (not working but i know it) so i think that it won't cause me too much problems opening a modern smartphone?
I've looked a few videos and pictures of how to open a Xperia S so i think it has not that much differences ....
