just a small video question.

to playback videos, it must be in mp4 container and 640x480 right (read from other thread). any idea what codec must i use? or any other information i should know before i encode some videos for testing?

 

[Skyline R34]

The limit is actually 720X480, but it doesn't apply to the SH-07B, which can record FullHD videos.

You can try this post for video converting.

There are quite a few codecs for the MPEG4 container, some work, some don't and I'm too lazy to find out which do and don't

video h264 no need to be so high resolution as long it will fit ur phone coz high resolution will eat ur memory spaces so fast

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip!

You're welcome! I always use the second one, # and then back. Its the fastest.

Unless I'm really bored, then I press # 11 times.

i might have gotten this wrong but software unlock mean your keitai act like any other normal/common phone you could get your hands on rite? you can use ur 3g sim card, can surf net with data plan, no signal easily lost on the go, etc?

For docomo, only a couple of NECs (N906i, N-08A, N-09A, etc) can be software unlock. When software unlock, when you lost signal, it will auto regain back it's signal after a signal is detected.
You cannot surf the net using 3G data plan on Docomo keitai even though it is software unlock, but use wifi to surf is possible as reported by some bros and sis here sometime ago (e.g. N-04B and F-06B).

dont mind me asking.. supposedly the unlock-sim news materalize next year april, does that mean you can use 3g sim card, can surf net with data plan, no signal easily lost on the go, etc or the keitai still cant behave like a normal/common phone in certain ways?

 

[Skyline R34]

You can use 3G SIM, log on to the 3G network and make and receive calls. When there is low reception, you might still get signal OUT (eg in lift, underground, places where normal phones loses reception as well) but the phone will recover back the signal on its own.

Whether or not we can use data plan remains to be seen. Up to now, the firmware in docomo phones only contain the APN settings(required to use data plan) of NTT DoCoMo. There is no option to change the APN settings as in local phones. There have been no announcements yet on whether APN settings can be changed when the official software unlock happens next April.

As of now, it is only reported that software unlock Softbank keitai (933SH and 936SH) APN can be change by unlockers to surf net using data plan.

thx for the explantion! just wondering are there any reasons apart from the design and advance camera function that you guys are putting up with the hassle here and there?

thx for the explantion! just wondering are there any reasons apart from the design and advance camera function that you guys are putting up with the hassle here and there?

1) Big screen, especially for a flip phone (3.5inches on my F-01B)

2) High quality, sharp screen. (960X480 on the F-01B displaying 16M colors)

3) Different (Unlikely you'll run into someone using a same phone as you, especially now that iPhone and BlackBerries are everywhere)

4) Attracts people. (They are usually over-sized and big and some come in striking colors)

5) Keypad (Most comparable international phones now are touchscreen only, and having a phone with keypad is great, especially if one messages frequently)

6) Its Japanese (If you are really into the Japanese culture, then having a phone from Japan should be highly appealing, along with the ability to send and receive message in Japanese)

7) Special features such as waterproof

Sometimes grainy because you take the picture under low lighting... handphone cameras still have it's limits... =) for clear pics, just take photo in bright outdoors =)
