Is there any type of hack or mod we can do that allows us to stream at least 720p content fluidly, I noticed a slight change from 2.2 to 2.3 just a tad bit more smooth,it just needs a little more,im starting to think its our lack or ram, seeing as we only have 404 instead of the 512...god damn Motorola

Never have had issues with streaming HD material on youtube. Even on barebone stock froyo, probably the ****ty coding, doubt its the physical amount of RAM.
You are telling me that you can go to the desktop version of youtube on your Droid x2 and watch a video in 720p and it'll be completely fluid?

Yup. I have yet to see an issue with the 720p streaming on my end.

I've streamed with wifi and have had no issues so far. 3G is a hit or miss sometimes it'll not be able to keep up with the video, sometimes it will. If I'm on 3G I generally use the app or if I'm patient, I let it load and just drag back to beginning w/o hitting replay.
Where the hell are you that your 3G can keep up with HD? Are you sure we are both using verizons 3G O.O

I can't watch any 1080p or 720p video- online or regular mp4 video from internal storage.
It goes like 4 fps. I looked in the atrix forum, and apparently the tegra 2 chipset likes only certain kinds of HD video (something to do with how the video is encoded).
Anything encoded with with a High profile will not play smoothly on the Tegra 2 chipsets.

You can download it straight from the market now, the Atrix is supported
not if you are in canada. says not available for my device due to the country its in. weird..still have the apk from here and that works fine.
even though its officially supported now, it still shows discoloration and the green bar at the bottom.
I believe all of this is resolved in the leaked Atrix gingerbread beta update.

yup, the second update today fixed the discoloration
Yay! It works... but it looks like crap
At least on my Atrix it looks like crap.
I own a Atrix (AT&T) as well as a Droid X (Verizon) and I have Netflix running (from the Market) on both phones. Side by side the video on the Droid X phone looks nice and sharp without blocky pixelation and it's only a 3G phone. But the same video on my Atrix which is supposed to be 4G takes forever to load a video and then when it finally plays the picture looks terrible with horrible pixelation to the point where I can barely make out what it is I am looking at.
I am running stock FroYo on the Atrix without any tweaks. What is the deal with this phone? Is it the phone or the network? The Atrix shows 3 bars at my house (whereas my Droid X shows 4 bars) so it looks like it's got a good signal to the tower but the network speed is really terrible.
I was so excited to get an Atrix (since I have a tablet that has a Tegra 2 chip in it as well and LOVE it) but after owning this phone for a week I have to say I am beginning to regret getting it.
I'm running 1.57 gladatrix. Haven't updated to newer 1.83 radio yet or gingerbread. Newest netflix runs excellent on wifi and 3/4g. Takes 6 seconds to buffer then plays uninterrupted when has good cell reception. Tested data speed at 1.8mb/s.
Have watched over 10 movie/episodes so far no problems. First 10 seconds a little pixalated then great quality after that.

I'll give you a hint, both phones are 3G... It looks like crap on my Atrix as well.
I have a movie on memory encoded at 640x480 1200kbs and the netflix streamed version is perceptualy similar after 10 seconds of initial pixelation then holds steady at good quality without interruption. That's on 3g with good reception.

Given that the Tegra 2 is capable of recording 1080p video, I was wondering how to enable it. The camcorder app only allows up to 720p recording.
From Google searching, I can only find articles that say Motorola is planning on releasing an update to the Atrix to enable 1080p recording. Do they plan on doing the same for the photon?
Aparently, there is an camera apk mod that can be used to enable 1080p recording on the Atrix. Anyone had any luck with it on the Photon? EDIT: here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079760
I bought the Photon because of the Tegra 2 and assumed it could 1080p record. Guess I should have done my research, but nVidia and Motorola kept claiming that 1080p is possible and will be included on their Tegra 2 phones.
yes you can by editing some files...its easy to do.....but you will not like that
its a crapy imagem.....I realize the camera on photon its the same off atrix...the hardware its the same....If ou put alien rom from photon into atrix, you will get 8mpx camera :S

I am using my old DROID X right now as a tablet, but I am a Photon owner, Motorola is releasing an update for the ATRIX, and we have the same camera app/hardware specs, so we should get 1080p from their app if we pull it when they get the update, -or- Motorola gives us a 1080p update, which we're hoping will be soon.

Yeah, I read, at least on the atrix, its 1080p resolution but at a lower bitrate and FPS.
I still want to give it t a try. I tried adding a 1080p entry into the build.prop, but I can't enable it with either the stock camera or the lgcamera.
Do you know what the exact editing should be?
Anyone know why videos on Netflix are all pixelated on the x2? Is there a fix?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
My guess is you have a connection problem of some sort. Are you using it on wireless or 3g? Mine is usually clear. Only time it gets pixelated is when my internet connection is acting up (having trouble with it at home right now). When the connection is working as it should, Netflix works great. If my connection starts going bonkers, the picture will pixelate for a few seconds and then clear up again as the signal gets better. Until my internet problems at home, I never had any problems with it. This reminds me. Have to call my ISP, again.
Tried on my wifi McDonald's wifi 3g. All Pixelated

Netflix looks good on mine. On 3G Nd wifi.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Just tried on my home wifi. Looks just fine, although at the beginning it was pixelated. IIRC Netflix tried to use an algorithm to change its quality to best suit your connection speeds. As has been said previously, WIFI is recommended over 3G, but you might also want to look into some scripts (speedy comes to mind, but I haven't kept up with that compared to what comes with the latest roms tbh).

Its most likely a network difference. The Thunderbolt has 4G, and the X2 has 3G. The reason you just downgraded is because the X2 is way faster than the Thunderbolt. The Tegra 2 processor is no joke.

Mmhmm.... Where are you getting your information? What are you basing this on? Which device was running CM7?
Basing it off being able to fly through app after app, webpages being crystal clear, music not skipping or forcing closed. The x2 was running cm7. The locked bootloader sucked balls. I like changing kernels,radios, etc. Thunderbolt does everything I ask it to without hesitating
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
While I do agree that a locked bootloader is terrible (my previous device was unlocked), I have to say that your other evidence merely comes from OS tweaks, not speed. The Xperia play browser is smoother in scrolling than the X2s, but that doesn't mean that it is faster. A good way to see performance differences is to try heavy emulators like N64oid and FPSe with 0 frameskips and graphics smoothing on and you will see a significant difference in performance, especially with FPSe, which has dual core optimization.
When I put my cm7 x2 next to my RF stock TB yea the x2 wins in quadrant scores, but that means nothing when a game like fruit ninja lags on my phone but not hers. Or videos from SD card are pixelated but not on the tb

What do you mean full screen? Our devices can't do HD Netfix right now because of our processor or something. HD Netflix isn't compatible with it. We'll get it eventually.

The Nexus is able to do it since it uses similar architecture as the OMAP4 from the Razr. The Snapdragon is a differen't thing. Guess we got screwed on the HD, funny how the Snapdragon Devices were one of the first devices to get Netflix over the OMAP when it was first released.
I had one that worked in full hd and fullscreen but it became outdated and is useless now as you can't play anything without it asking for an update
Its not technically the processor, but the security capabilities. The OMAP4's have whats needed for it to be "secure". I remember an article about it i believe when the droid 3 came out, and heres an example:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/05/netflix-for-android-gets-first-hd-streaming-certification-texas/
The only phone right now that has the security certificate to allow HD streaming from Netflix is the RAZR. Go figure the device w/o a HD screen gets HD netflix . Eventually one day our devices will support HD netflix.

Yeah. Even when I played with the maxx at the store it just isn't smooth. I had a gs2, then an iphone, and now this. I just think I'm so used to the iphone smoothness that I just have to get back to the Android feel of things. And no I'm not an apple fan boy, the only reason i got the iphone was because sprint didnt have 4g in my area and i just wanted to try it. Now that i finally got a good service, i had to go back to the good os.
I've noticed even scrolling in apps, that the phone isn't very smooth for a dual core. I kind of expected more.
Does anyone know if ICS and hardware acceleration will fix this? Or maybe the soak test update coming whenever it comes?
I have no such problems. All my apps open almost instantly, and I don't get any lag when I scroll. I don't know what to tell you guys. Restarting your phones, update your firmware, kill some processes, and say 3 hail Marys.

If you look at page load times the Razr will kill iOS devices every time. The scrolling jitters is due to lack of hardware acceleration in rendering- Honeycomb and newer uses OpenGL to deliver a much better experience. Yet another reason I can't wait for ICS...
