Maddening ordering system in android - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I am kind of new to this forum so if this is not the right place to post this I apologize. Anyway, I was watching a series when I noticed a big jump in the episode. From episode 10 it played 100 next, the trend appears to be 1, 2, 3,...10, 100, 101, 102....110,11, 111,112,etc, maddening.
I know I can solve this by installing a third party app. But I am loving samsung's gallery and I hate the idea of using the same app (QuickPic) for both video and image. Might there be a way to handle this natively?

An image to get a clearer picture of what's happening. Thanks.

I gather you've never used Windows? Windows Explorer does this, too. (Or it used to, anyway. I haven't used single-digit numbering for years because of this.)
Most systems recognise the first digit first, instead of checking how many digits there are. So it will always be 1, 10, 100, 2, 20, 200, 3, 30, 300.
The easiest way to solve this is using as many digits as the largest number. So it becomes 001, 002, 003, 010, 020, 030, 100, 200, 300.
You can use Bulk Rename Utility to make this a bit easier: http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/

I have used windows 98 to windows 8 and have never seen this. I even download manga on windows with 1.jpg numbering system and never see this problem (although I have to admit that I only viewed serial videos and comics on windows xp up.
The example on the image was downloaded on my windows 8.1 laptop and the arrangement was okay. So I was surprised that you mentioned that. I have used PCs all my life and only see this behavior on Android. The sudden change in the way my device do things is what drove me to this forum,
But thanks for the rename suggestion. I will use this workaround until android can improve its filesystem structure. It's just maddening that android does this. Even on linux which gave me nightmares on first time setup played videos on sequence even when named with 1 digit order.
It just bothers me because when we normally download rar or torrent (legal of course.) movies and images are usually using one digit ordering system. Well, at least I now understand why this is happening. Thanks for the reply.

Any complete notebook app?

First, by notebook, I mean this:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

}
Anyone know a good notebook app that have the following features:
-Lines, so you can use the keyboard (on screen or not) to tap, and the words follow the lines.
-Free drawing mode: So you can draw anywere you want.
-Text boxes: Like Paint program on Windows, it allows you to write on the text boxes, and allows you to move the box anywere, if needed.
-Different colors: I think almost all notebook apps have that, but this is a must. Be able to change the color in some phrases, words or paragraphs. This goes for drawing mode too.
-Highlights
This:
Be able to highlight some parts of the text, obvious.
I'm sorry if I am asking too much, but a app like that would be awesome for future use.
I still don't have my Prime (will buy in March or April), but I am already asking just for have something that I can install right after it get out of the box.
Thanks.
Anyone knows?
Try free note. I use it work everyday and it seems to be the most complete note app
I will search for videos. As I said, I still don't have my Prime, buyin it on April, so I am already asking opinions and such.
Sent for my X10 Mini Pro, running 2.3.7
If I helped, please press Thanks.

Your prime will come with an app called Supernote and it does everything you are looking for.

[Q] Prime usage question

When I am using the Prime, it seems I can only use 1 window at a time.
Example: if I stream from Youtube, and want to check "WiFi analyzer or Speedtest", the stream is interrupted.
Is there a way that the tablet can allow me to have several task running, like in the above example or similar?
Well for that example you listed you can get an app called stickit. It allows you to watch your videos or streams while doing whatever else you want. Its just like a PC when you bring up a movie screen then you can resize it and move it all over tthe screen. For example I can be browsing the web while watching the video in the little screen. You can make screen as big or small as you want. It plays continuously and doesn't stop no matter what you doing. The screen follows you wherever you go until you close it.
Here is screenshot example I just took. Love this app.

Anyway, yeah, there's no stock way to do what you want. Demandarin, that's a great app! I just don't understand why ICS doesn't have such things built in, you'd think they'd be trying to push true multi-tasking at the user's discretion.
Seems to me that Google's just not trying to replace PC's like I'd like them to. I love messing around with my x86 Honeycomb (beats the hell out of Windows 8).

Wow! Thanks for the tip. I thought I was going to have to wait for Cornerstone for something like this. Does Stickit work with any stream app or site?

Dev wanted for tablet mode refinements

im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.
what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.
now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.
i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.
ps. what we'll get will look like this:

"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.
thanks!

Can anyone identify this file or form of media?

I was offered by Samsung an opportunity to receive a copy of my personal data that Samsung captures. Two weeks later, I received a link to download my information. I had only been a Samsung customer for three months, and the download was over 13 GB over 21 different services they offer. The file also contained voice recordings, which I have yet been able to play them. Not even sure that I want to actually. I was sent 20 of these "images" and I have no idea what they are. They are exactly 500 MB each. I've done image searches with different programs. I've tried opening, unzipping, playing, and manipulating these files with everything at my disposal. I used about 5 different file archivers. It's a .z file with a 2 digit suffix. I read that's mostly associated with Linux. Again, I don't know. It is rather disingenuous of Samsung to "offer" me the opportunity to see my personal information in a form of media that I have no clue what to do with it. If possible, I'd like to know what this is and how can I look at its contents? As you can tell, my expertise lies in a field other than tech and software development. I may get crucified over posting this here, but I wanted an expert's opinion and this is a great place to get it. I have contacted Samsung twice with no reply.

If ya'll don't know what it is, I give up. I've spent 3 days researching and can't find out myself. Thank you!
Try to open file with WinZip.
Thank you very much for the reply! I tried with WinZip. When I opened the WinZip app, it then in turn opened AndrOpen and the screen went a total solid gray with a status line at the bottom showing the progress of unzipping the file. Once it completes, the screen never changes from a solid screen of gray. I used another app call 7zipper and it showed typical gibberish symbols when it's not the correct format. It did show there was 37 lines of sentences or information. I will try a few more of those type apps. I wish like heck I had my Windows laptop with me. I am trying all of this on both my phone and tablet. Thanks again!

Question Video settings help

I'm on my new 'Note' the S23 Ultra and have watched all the 'do this first' type YouTube settings videos etc., but I have a video issue.
On my laptop I use Windows Movie Maker, basic but easy for quick editing clips, and for more pro stuff I use DaVinci Resolve, however neither program will open my most recent videos?
I've tried different settings with the same result and have attached a photo of the details of a file that does open and one that doesn't, but I'm not sure what it's telling me? They all play fine in VLC Media Player.
I'm far from an expert at all this, and at 72 this year maybe it's just all getting beyond me, but any suggestions or help appreciated.
The one that works is from my S22 Ultra, the other the S23!!
Many thanks.

Is the format supported?
Check the error messages in Windows Event Viewer.

I always save in mp4, don't think that bit has changed?

They are all MP4 so shouldn't be an issue, but after further research and going through every setting both the Hi-Bit rate (whatever that it) and the High Efficiency setting were on.
Not sure what either are but hopefully that'll be the answer.
Now I just need a way to convert them back to normal settings or I'll lose several good wildlife videos

Yeah based on the file size it looks like the file type.
