it's probably a build.prop setting ... what else did you do beside install root?

Hey guys! Trying to get the iTunes copy of Inception I bought the other day to format into something my phone can play. Handbrake never works for some reason. Any ideas.

Its probably not working because of some DRM issue.
A quick search tells me there is some converter software out there that circumvents the DRM. I wouldn't know which one to recommend though and they seem to be paid apps.

I can confirm it is DRM issues. iTunes songs and movies won't work on anything other then an iApple device.
Why do you think we're on XDA and Android in the first place?
I need to know the best way and what people use, I'm using the latest MobyPlayer plus UTorrent but for some reason after it downloads and I go to play it back it says your device player isn't capable? If anyone could walk me through this or give a good link that would be great also used MXPlayer

i haven't had any problems with nay movies/videos...
Using MX video player (the free version) & it seems to play almost anything i want.
I think maybe cuz I don't have 1.7gb available but are all movies that large

Maybe the player is telling you that it can't use HW decoding for video???
Sometimes using MXvideoplayer is uses SW decode, but as long as i'm not watching a hd movies it's ok.
It's a problem when you try to watch a 720p movies without using HW decoding..
It plays laggy; but generally it's a question of avi's codec that aren't decoded by our cpu..
Download qqplayer and everything will be fine.

Flashing Movies and How? Am I the only one who doesn't know what a flashing movie is?
Surely you must know if you have enough drive space to copy a movie across.
I use MXplayer to play vids. Works flawlessly even when the phones got tTorrent running which is extremely taxing. I rarely use the phone to watch movies besides on extended bathroom visits. Usually stream them to WDlive player using Twonky mobile if I couldn't be bothered copying them over. (All free versions btw)
@itsbeertimenow I tried qqplayer and was out of sync on mkv's.
I'm still trying to figure out the "flashing movies" bit

Hey,
Since this is off-topic I guess I can ask this question here.
I bought a Pokémon Gold cardridge for my Gameboy Advance yesterday and now I have a problem with the save files: every time I take out the cardrigde, the save file is deleted. I use my Gameboy only for this game right now, so not being able to take it out won't be a problem, but I'd still like to know the cause. As the game does save normally, I don't think the internal battery has died.
Thanks in advance.

That sounds like a dead battery to me - when you remove the cartridge the SRAM is no longer powered - so while you were able to save while it was powered, the battery is not keeping it powered once it's removed. I would test it and make a save game file, leave it in the GBA and leave it overnight and see what happens.
Pokemon Gold is getting old enough that there's a very good chance the original battery isn't doing so hot any more. I believe that generation of Pokemon especially had battery issues due to the real-time clock.
This is not directly helpful and you may have considered it already, but have you thought about using an emulator to play the game on your phone ?
I did this recently on my S3 and the controls translate well to touch-screen use. The ROMs are very small, too ! The GBC ones are only ~2Mb and GBA are usually 5-10Mb. Transferring my games to my phone was just another way to consolidate and make life simpler / more fun / easier.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have thought about playing using emulators, but playing it on a Gameboy gives it a way more authentic feeling. I guess I'll have to take it back to the store then .

I never had any problem with my Gameboy Advance, so I guess it's your Gameboy and not the games.

U think so? Cuz i bought newly and the model was old the first gameboy advance without backlight I know i was dumb that time my mom bought it for me as a gift and it used to work great but after a year the problems started occurring. Thought at first it would be feature not supported for this model. Thanks anyway its been 5 years since i bought it so i dont care!

If all games acted weird I think it is your gameboy, yes, because I think it is really strange if all games won't save anymore and the problem is not with the Gameboy itself. And even if you have one of the oldest Gameboys, all functions of the game should work properly.

First time I've ever downloaded a movie from the playstore onto my htc One. When I go to watch movie on 'play movies' via 3G it's unable to play movie. Anyone know why this is? Is there a way round this at all?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Anyone???
It was my understanding that once you root your device you can no longer play Google play movies or shows.
Not sure if that's the cause for you.

I'm not rooted.
So I buy all my movies from the play store. Since buying the n4 yesterday, I haven't been able to play any of them at all. Not on stock, or any of the stock based roms. Tried root cloak and the issue is still there. The only thing I have not tried is an aosp rom which I will be trying tonight. Here is a screenshot of the error I get. Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys. J
I have no problem streaming movies from play store. Are you trying to stream them or you downloaded them before and you try to play them from sd card?
