I am currently using Handbrake to convert my videos to Andorid High and lets say the quality is not that great compared the the original MKV file. Does anyone know any particular settings? Or an alternative software?
Thanks
I Suggest Xmediarecode! I get really good looking results with it, but it takes some time if you want really high quality videos. It also gets updates about every 3rd week, i think handbrake is dead or something.

Because my movie is about 8gb and it wont let me transfer it as its too big. Sony have locked it so you can transfer a file greater than some amount.

It's about the sd card fat32 partion that only allows 4gb file size max.

What format have you encoded THAT to? Sounds far too large a file for even an HD video. And ... as another has said, that 'lock' isn't Sony, it's the format of FAT-32.
I use Miro and Handbrake to convert. Handbrake is the more flexible software (the new version [0.9.6] has an 'Android High' setting that should serve most people).
Handbrake lives !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I suggests don't buy XU,memory so freaking small space,no micro sd support
Sent from my LT28h using xda premium
It's a great phone, only paid £130 sim-free for mine in the UK; but the memory is small (512Mb). I just upgraded to ICS and rooted, and despite spending a couple of days fiddling around to reduce ram-hungry apps and processes, the dialer will occasionally crash when I try and use it, due to lack of available RAM. I am going to have to strip down even more apps and widgets to make it reliable. On Gingerbread I had the same number of apps and widgets and there were less problems. So if you are going to hang on to your next phone for a while, I would suggest waiting for a phone with 1Gb+ of memory.
I dont have any but any problems from day one,no.crashes.and wifi tetherimg always.worked,using my country costomized rom heres after 24 h phone usage ram,no killing or whatever.

I think its better for u to limit running apps in the developers setting.
Should work fine

there are specific set of people which would be even more than happy with Xperia U. these are the normal, general, non-power users upgrading from a dumbphone, or even smartphone owners before 2011.
from their old unit, they can now experience android and the apps it offers. with even better than usable single cores out there, they even get dual core CPU power, to browse the net, take and view pictures, internet messaging via whatsapp/imo, skype video calls, socialize in facebook/twitter, watch youtube, email, create short notes on notes applications, and many other useful tasks... all rendered in a bravia screen with high density of pixels which is very sharp and beautiful. the transparent color changing bar is another attractive feature which sets it apart from other phones which generally, all look alike.
the only thing not possible here would be the things that require storage, like local movie watching and to some extent music collection playing.
any other else, its as good as whatever phones out there.
with the expertise of the devs here in xda, who knows what more it can do.
thanks darth5zaft, I've tried that before but then gave it another shot after reading your post - but I still get lags and freezes when I have an app open and a call, or an sms comes through, everything slows down. So I've gone back now to using Auto Memory Manager off the Play Store, which might be doing the same sort of thing but I haven't had any slow-downs or lags over the last 24 hours, everything is zippy and I can't see the battery draining any faster
I agree, this phone does most of what a more expensive phone would do - I originally bought it just to replace the Nexus S I had which crapped out, with the plan being to upgrade at the end of that two year contract next March, but I will probably keep it a bit longer now that its set up nicely, there's little else I'm missing really.
Go for xperia u
U will luv it
Nice looks
Dual core
Plays hd games smoothly
Decent battery ( after. 54 fw )
And superb pricing
And regarding lagging
Almost all phones on stock fw lags
Even my father's galaxy note lags sometimes
So if u want to buy a decent budget android smartphone wid power bt limited space go for xperia u

how do you guys cope with 4gig of storage because people these days are downloading games 100+mb in size if there big ones and full albums
i dont think it was smart of sony for 8GB nand they should of upped it to 16gb giving a reasonable 10/12GB
Buy an sd card 4 is not enough
We don't cope with a 4gb storage. I have a 16gb sd card and I bought it for like 15 euros.

however i can say that (if i hadn't shooted an entire hour of HD video and i weren't using dual boot) the internel memory of my xperia S would be used for 1GB..
and this with all the programs i need installed

use usb otg....works perfectly...xda has tutorial to run games thru flash drives too!
Its so simple! Use otg for songs and then play only one game (big one) at a time after completing delete it!
It can be even simpler - playing games on a 3.5inch screen is a facepalm, and keep only the music and videos that you REALLY listen to and watch.
~2GB of storage left for media and 1.7GB for apps
Use usb mounter or some like that
Buy a usb to vga cable
Add old pc screen to vga
Add mouse + BT keyboard
And use otg with a 300GB HDD
Thats hoe i use my XU
As true game phone
Hope someone here can advice me.
I want to buy the Sony Xperia Tablet Z2, but havent decided about which one. Should I go for the 16GB or the 32GB version?
I will use a MicroSD card with it, 64GB, or if possible a 128GB MicroSDXC card. So I will have lots of room for movies, music and pics on the SD card. So, in this scenario, what is the best solution to go for? 16GB or 32GB?
All depends what you plan to use it for. You'll quickly run out of space if you install a few large apps on the 16gb but if you don't use these kind of apps/games, you should be fine with the 16gb

I am already hitting warnings over free space on my 16GB LTE device. I have about 1 dozen games and about 2 dozen small utility apps.
Problem is that the LTE only comes in 16GB variations for now.
Also, be aware that kit-kat doesn't allow free file browser control over the sdcard without root. i.e. without root, you can't manually create and move files on the ext_card (even with the latest File Expert file browser)
Connecting to the PC allows full-access through the PC file browser, though this is not ideal.
Root fixes everything.
Thanks for your valuable thoughts. This probably means I will go for the 32GB Note 10.1 2014.
I dont install very much, but its easier to have a bit more mmory then just the bare essential.
I got the 16gb version and regret that decision already. I was not prepared for the fact that the memory card is heavily locked down with Kitkat

I have just found out that file commander app which we got installed on device allows copying files on sd card.

I wouldn't recommend that. I just returned my last Note 10.1 2014.
Altogether, I had EIGHT Note 10.1.2014, WiFi and LTE variants.
ALL of them had a faulty display.
ALL of them were locked down using "Knox".
LTE versions are locked against using prepaid cards.
Rooting gets documented by an "eFuse".
Samsung prohibits downgrading to a lower firmware version.
Flooded with bloatware, of course protected against deinstallation and even stopping.
NO (!) software updates for far more than half a year.
And so on...
The Note 10.1 2014 has nice hardware (except the narrow bezels, making it virtually impossible holding the tablet without accidentally touching the screen or the hardware buttons), and the "leather-like" (which is nothing but an impudent lie) backpanel which in fact is made of extremely hard, slippery plastic), but got perfectly castrated by Samsungs malicious actions for locking down devices even more than Apple.
It's no keeper; sorry... :/
Regarding the 16/32 GB question:
Rooted Z2 (SD card write access enabled): 16 GB ok.
Non-rooted Z2: 32 GB mandatory.

Jupp, that plastic thingy made me cringe away from it the second I picked one up in the store.
I agree with the above, to bad you can't unlock the Sony without doing the bootloader altso, I'm kinda stuck in limbo with a non-rooted 16GB version and a hardly usable 64GB brand card :/
As I said above, use file commander app to write to sd card if your tablet is not rooted

If you're used to working with Solid Explorer, you get rash if forced to using that basic tool. It's no more than a last resort.

Yeah, you can move files to it true that, but fare as I can tell you cant access SMB shares true it, so you first have to dump it to your internal memory, then move it to the SD card from File Commander. Also, you can only move files and not application, limiting the SD cards immensely

I also wouldnt recommend this. I just sold my Note 2014 to buy the Z2 tablet. Its waiting for me at home, havent used it yet. The Note is laggy, heavy and awkward. Just my opinion.

So, you want to advice me to use a tablet you didnt use yourself, based on what?
The Note has its problems, and can be laggy, but after freezing many unnecesary start-up apps, it reacts much better.
And you call 630 grams heavy? Compared to my Surface Pro it weighs almost nothing.
And what is awkward about the Note 2014? Please explain what you mean with that.

Mate, that's just my opinion. Buy what ever you like. And yes, I ran clean ROM pretty much permanently, with a custom kernel - it was still very laggy. Buy it and enjoy

About 5 hours and a little more using Sony's weak 1.5 A power adapter - via USB and charging port.
If you utilize a better power adapter (like Samsung's 2 A piece), charging time goes down to a little more than 4 hours if using the charging station (I wouldn't call this a "docking station" because it cannot do more than charging) DK39.

Well, that's not too bad, I can use my ipad charger when in rush of charging lol. So far, the most concern matter is touchscreen issues, if it not get fix soon by Sony, I guess I have to skip this one
I just got my new Samsung Galaxy S5, original ROM with version 4.4.2. It uses a new Toshiba 64GB speed U3 micro SD card.
When I transfer my WhatsApp folder from PC to GS5, it took me more than 24 hours!!!
The WhatsApp folder has about 3GB in size, and thousands of received/sent images.
At the first time, I transfer them from PC to the (fast) SD card in the phone. It really took me more than 24 hours. At the second time, I tried transfer them from PC to the phone internal memory. It seems to be a little bit faster. I did not wait it to complete. But I assume it will take 20+ hours also.
When I use the file manager in GS5 to copy the entire 3GB folder from SD card to phone internal, it takes only 5 minutes or less. (It's a U3 card afterall)
I did a small test. I transfer only the database files from PC to the SD card (in the phone). There are 7 files, in total 1 GB in size. It takes only 1 minute.
So my guess is, the transfer speed will be ultra slow when it contains many small files.
The same issue happens in different fast computers.
I have also tried transfer back from phone to PC, speeds are roughly the same.
I used the original USB cable, and tried on other short and average quality cables.
I prefer not to pull my SD card out every time. Even if i do, transfer from PC to phone also have the ultra slow speed issue.
I know there are threads suggesting to transfer file by other methods. But my concern is: Why is it so unreasonable slow? And I prefer using the USB method.
Is my phone a defect?
Thanks a lot!
Please let me know if your Android 4.4.x with MTP transfer has this problem or not. Many thanks!!
