Guys!! after a brief usage of 14 hrs (without rebooting) . there begins a lag in video, stuttering gradually & finally video player shows an error "Cannot play contents" Why so ?? At that moment mobo player too fails to play videos in hardware decoding mode. After restart problem vanishes ..again begins to show up after 14 hours. (Note:- I have had these issues on lg stock v10d/e/b (android 2.2 & android 2.2.2) and even in devoid froyo final. I am fed up of these video playback issues. even mp4 files whose reoslution is 512x384 (between vga & qvga won't play. I have tried increasing virtual memory heap size to 32/40/48 and rebooting. none solves the problem. stagefright is also disabled!
Also can u give any good froyo ROM and battery effective kernel suggestions that will get me rid of this video stuttering issues ?
you might be running out of ram? idk, but i suggest using a gb rom
When video stop playing, type df -h into terminal emulator and check the free space on /cache

@sweetnsour- the moment video stops playing ram has more than 250 mb available
@drnotor-ok.but how much minimum cache needs to be available for proper playback ?

Hello Guys..
Suggestions please I tried almost 20 apps from market in last two days but could not find any good app to watch movies of high quality on my x10i
I find moboplayer the best player so far. It plays a lot of formats and it supports subtitles too. It also plays high quality videos with no or minimum lag.
subtitles
RockPlayer 1.0.28

Why my S3 has big RAM usage after about 4 days use? I checked RAM in taskmanager and about 500+MB of RAM is in use. At that time, my high-end games ,like amazing spiderman, start to lag and sometimes it even closes itself.I think this happens because it had not enough free RAM.So, I had to restart my device to lower RAM usage(only 200+MB RAM is in use, just after restarting).Why is that? Why RAM usage grows bigger if I didn't restart my device in 4 days? I've tried to limit Backgroung Processes in developer options of setting, but not working. It seems I should restart my phone everyday to get the full performance of my phone.
Any suggestions??

I would have thought the inbuit task manager would handle all this, from what i've read it is excellent. I normally go a week or two before a restart. But i only play games like sprinkle an angry birds.

Yes, U R right. No need to restart(clean memory) if U only plays small games.

If you play some games which need a lot of memory android will kill other apps, that are running in the background to free the needed memory. Android is not windows! It will not run out of memory. Even the applauncher gets closed if it's necessary. I play heavy games to (nova 3) and there are no lags, so ram is not the problem I think.

no issue with spiderman game here , one bad thing it require wifi to be on whenever gameplay is needed , did you force shut or freeze the apps ?

Nova 3 is ok for me also. Spider-Man needs more RAM than Nova3.
If U received a message while playing Spiderman, the game will close and u'll have to start over.
That's not good.

That's definitely true.S3 should have at least 1.5GB RAM , 1GB RAM is not enough.

Hi, I'm running HepHappys port of CM9 for the LG O1. My problem is this: when I take videos the video in the view finder is jittery. When I playback any video, either imported from a computer or taken with the phone camera it says "sorry, this video could not be played do to an error". I have tried using multiple media players to no avail. YouTube pays fine although idk about HQ. If I flash back to CM7 no problems. I've tried playing videos taken in CM7 while running CM9 and still no playback. I had the same problem on AOKP. Does any one else have this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

you are facing this problem becasue we are unable to get openmax codecs for full hardware acceleration . so if you record video it will b laggy and if you play hd video it could not be played . if you cant compromise with this problem then i suggest you to stuck with gingerbread because it is better than ics on our phones .

Try using mx player with armv6 codec,both found in the Google play store
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Every ics thread shows this problem and its discussed at length in all of them. No driver from qualcomm. Nothing you can do except software decoding.

Thanks guys! I thought that was the problem.
I tried MX media player and now I can play videos! Thanks
Sorry for creating an unnecessary thread, I've looked through several ics forums and I guys I just missed it.

I've installed MX video player but unfortunately we don't have OMX for ARMv6 so, only s/w decoding is possible.
I did the following settings-
1.OC to 480-691 conservative.
2.Open MX video player and go to settings>Decoder>check S/W decoder(local and network both) and color depth to 32 bits.
3.Added the line "video.accelerate.sw=1" to build.prop.
Got these results-
1.Tried 3 videos of resulution 320x480 @25FPS and they were perfect smooth on MX.
2.Tried 1 video of resolution 640x480 @24FPS and it was also perfectly smooth on MX.
3.Tried 1 video of resolution 640X480 @30FPS and it was also perfectly smooth on MX.
4.Tried 1 video of resolution 704X576 @24FPS and it was also perfectly smooth on MX.
5.Videos with 640X480 resolution and above were not smooth with stock gallery but were perfect with MX.
6.I was happy
Battery tweak-
My device on ICS gets a lot of wakelocks. I want to know that will adding the following lines to build.prop
"ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1" and "pm.sleep_mode=1" improve deep sleep ?
My questions-
1.Does the line video.accelerate.sw=1 has any effect ?
2.Can we also mod the youtube.apk to render using s/w only ?
Can u tell which video format did u use for testing?cos only mp4 lags in software decoding,avi plays perfectly.

I used mp4 only
I think that those battery tweaks are working well, I'm on cm9.1 flyme by hehappy and sleep wakelocks are minimized, drained only 4% in 8hrs while me and my phone were sleeping.. I got one day backup with moderate usage and still 40% is left, expected backup is above 40hrs
I didn't know that videos played smooth even at S/W decoding!!!! I ll try this in ics miui and report back

Battery runs same without any tweaks for me!! And it really has been the same for all the times I was on tweaks and without tweaks.. Tweaks have been proved to be Placebos!!

No tweaks can improve the battery life... The only thing those tweaks do is improve sleep. So, less battery is drained when phone is in sleep.
Video quality is the only thing holding me back from using ICS on my O1. That's an interesting idea about modding the Youtube.apk to use s/w decoding; I hope someone takes up the challenge. HQ videos on ICS? Hell yeah.
Finally ! A new hope ...:beer:

yes, that is possible if you uninstall youtube app and whenever you will play a video in browser, it should ask you to choose a player..

If you are getting lot of wake locks then you should probably tick the "use 2g networks" options in mobile network settings.
I did the same thing and found that sleep improved. Maybe the rom/kernel is aggressive to search for 3g networks
Currently using cm9.1.1 by hephappy
And about the sw acceleration thing it improved things are only a little.
Videos encoded with h. 264 still lagged (just like stock rom) but they play smoothly on oxygen, cm7...
video playback is still laggy for me after trying all types of settings
