hi everyone,,,
i just got a new galaxy tab 10.1 3g few days back and i got some questions,,,,
* Is there any 3.2 rom which supports arabic fonts. Or a manual way of installing rtl (arabic support).
* How do i stop apps from starting in background, everytime i check there are no. of background apps running and i need to stop them manually.
* Why can my tab not play full hd videos when my galaxy s2 plays it very good . a/v goes out of sync . Am i expecting too much from my tab
I don't know about arabic suport. About full HD videos, don't expect to play 1080p mkv files on the tab, it can't handle those. I can play 720p mkv videos, but my tab is overclocked to 1.4ghz.
As for the background apps, I wouldn't worry about them, the OS will close them if it needs resouces.
But all those background apps will consume battery right,,

hey guys i am planing to buy samsung galaxy s plus .i have regarding it,so please try to sove my qusetion
1>i will use the mobile for watching hi-def videos.so please tell me how to convert videos for it.previously i had galaxy 3 but i was unable to watch videos on it even though it supported mp4.so i am in doubt that sgs plus also have capablity to play mp4 videos but will it able to play it?
2>how is youtube streaming on the device?
For watching videos you could easily download a number of apps from the market which have the ability to play .mp4s. You could also download the vlc player from these forums, which I know for a fact can play .mp4s.
As for YouTube streaming, it's going to generally be the same on every device though it does depend on pixel density and the type of screen. It's SAMOLED screen should provide a colorful experience, though it does not have a very high pixel density (don't expect iPhone quality screen).
I received my official Allshare cast dongle today and although it is working I can't seem to get videos that I play to appear on BOTH screens at the same time. On various youtube reviews/demos, I have seen people playing videos with it appearing on the TV and the GS3 screen simulaneously. When I play a video it only appears on the TV and on the GS3 screen I get either a black background (e.g. youtube player) or a black background with the allshare icon logo on it and the player controls (standard video player).
What do I need to do to get the video to appear on both screens at the same time?
Cheers,
Richard.
The only way is to install another video player because if you saw a video showing doing both then they been misleading you.
Im sure its possible. The YouTube videos i have seen are not just ones recorded at the official Galaxy S3 launch demo booths but also from a fair number of unofficial user demos using their home TV's. I doubt they are all deliberately faked.
Also the videos all use the standard built in Galaxy S3 video player too.

I've got an Allshare Cast myself and it has no settings so Samsung must have fiddled it up to have both screens working because obviously it looks better in a booth with both displays running.
And I think Samsung turn the display off when watching videos because obviously you not gonna be watching both and it saves a load of power, so guess you just have to wait for someone to create a mod to get that done.
The Allshare cast does NOT mirror when playing video.
What worries me is when using the video player, it permanently leaves the Allshare logo on the screen. It is very very dim, but surely that could still result in screen burn after many hours of video watching this way!

There is some lag, yes. It doesn't make games unplayable, but it could put you at a disadvantage for multiplayer. Some games which are currently free on the Samsung app store are free and have optimisations for this system. Modern Combat 3 maintains resolution but suffers framerate drops sometimes in dual screen mode. Asphalt 7 maintains framerate but lowers resolution when the screen gets busy. The TV displays the main game, and the phone has a map of the course which is quite cool.
There is a bit of luck here, as it depends on the quality of WiFi signal in your home and interference can affect how well this system works. Certainly it has its uses though and I suspect there will be firmware improvements for it.

bugger, I wish they'd hurry up and release to TV version, I have a top of the range samsung tv which will work as the cast dongle when they get around to enabling it, i'm hoping latency will be slightly less too as its a straight hop to the TV bypassing the HDMI connections.

Hi, I have had my dongle for a few weeks now. Few problems and very upset with lack of support from samsung. I read you're message while trying to solve my issues. I have just used vlc player from the market and it plays video on screen and the tv together. Hope it helps. Wonder if you know how to make the image fit the my tv screen, it cuts edges of at the moment. Thanks and good luck

Thanks. Yes I since discovered that VLC let you do the mirrored playback after looking very closely at some youtube videos that demonstrated this mode.
Out of interest what other problems are you having? I haven't had time to test mine all that much yet. One thing that annoys me is that there is no on/off button so I have to unplug it to turn it off (I have it hooked up to my HDMI auto switch).
I can't get it to fit tv properly, sometimes requires two or three attempts to connect. Streaming Iplayer has audio sync problems, there is no alternative for audio out to a sound system and today it disconnected and refused to connect for ages. Had to unplug and reset with button at least 3 times. When is first got it my phone had no option for allshare and Samsung don't have any support on it. No one could tell me that I had to update through Kies on my desktop to get this option. All in all I do like it and use it loads, I'm just hoping the new official jb firmware will increase stability. Funny enough the guy I bought it of on ebay here in Turkey emailed me asking for confirmation it works as he has had loads of negative feedback from selling them. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt Samsung to create some support pages. But as usual xda dev prevails.

I have noticed that if you change channel on the phone it automatically disconnects the allshare connection. I never turn it off for this reason. But not very eco friendly I know.

There is a firmware update in the Samsung app store for the allshare cast dongle, available today. So far, there is a rapid connection established to the unit, stable. Sound issues also are resolved so far. Great update.
hey guys,
i love the pop-up function of the samsung video player.
and this feature i use very often (almost if i sit in a train or so i wtch a movie or a tv show and read some news or chat with friends.
and this new feature from samsung ist one the the reasons, i use a custom samsung based rom and not my favorite cm rom.
so, now i´m looking for an video app with pop-up function.
then i found "popcorn player
[APP] [2.0] Popcorn Player (pop-up, float video player).
This app will be available over play store. but this is wrong
Does anyone know where i can find the apk or an alternativ app with pop-up function usable on stock custom roms like cm?
thx a lot gys
greetz ravn
I know an app called super video, floating and popup
But I have never used it
Try it

Hello, i recently got my first device using android 4.2.2 and i see that the only video resolution for youtube that i can select is HQ but i cant select for example 720p or 1080p.
Does 4.2.2 is missing this youtube feature?
I know that older ios version you couldnt select it but with ios 7 is available.

Android version has nothing to do with an apps ability to display in a certain resolution. Youtube just simply doesn't have that support, it's either HQ or not. Simple as that.

Oh this really sucks. Clearly this is a step down in android compared to ios. It's shame cause that HQ option it's not even close to high quality.
