[Q] Video playback on Snapdragon S4 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently using an HTC Sensation (with Snapdragon S3) and with h.264 videos, the limit for my phone is effectively at 1080p h.264 high profile level 5.1 with bit rate less than 10 Mbit/s. On my friend's One X, Tegra 3 can easily play 1080p videos up to 40 Mbit/s, which is very impressive. Can anyone tell me if the video playback capability of the Snapdragon S4 is on par with Tegra 3? Do you manage to get 40 Mbit/s videos to play on S4?
Thanks a lot.

Anyone?

Guess that no one is willing to help me

[Q] Full HD 1080p Recording

Hi! Happy new year! I've jus bought a brand new xperia neo on amazon and i'm waiting for being delivered soon (i'm in Venezuela). looking for more information about the smartphone i've seen that it has a 8.1mpx camera but only record at 720p, the question is ¿It's possible to enable 1080p recording with this camera? it has a very good hardware so i think it's very possible.
What do you know about it?
Thanks a lot!

Don't think so:
The X10 also didn't have multi-touch and 720p recording when it was launched, but after an update it was capable of that.
But maybe the quality is better on 720p than on 1080p, less noise, better light conditions, more fps.
For x10
Yes, [email protected] ([email protected] with cont. autofocus via Android 2.1 Eclair update)
---
For HD video is required Single core 1GHz which x10 have.
But for FULL HD is required minimal 1.0 Dual core processor which x10 dont have, arc dont have and neo dont have.
Phone with 1.0ghz single core dosent have power enough to record that resolution or even playback it.

My bad.... lets hope it can do 1080p... but i think it will be problematic with buffers

Check Desire HD/s threads... It have same hardware. This MSM chips are not capable of 1080p recording or playback. Nothing will change that.
i can't see diference betwen 720p to 1080p on 3.7 screen
Ok now i Get it, thanks for the replys, maybe the developers in the future can do something about it. Dont loose the hopes!!

yes but if you gonna see videos on LCD TV 42" you can note the difference between resolutions. That's why i'm asking in the first place.
It is possible to do. But i can only tell it is hard and takes alot of time. The Canon EOS 500D has also only 1080p (20fps) and it took a **** time before someone could make it 24 fps (still not usuable enough though) But im comparing DLSR with smartphone just my words
Its processor limitation not camera sensor limitation...

Actually the 1.2GHz Hummingbird single-core processor is capable of FULL-HD recording and playing,so i think 1080p is not a problem even for a single-core.

I can playback 1080p video without problems on my single core GTab!

After reading this tread i actually searched the market and found Lgcamera (free)
After installing it i changed to cam mode and selected 1080p and tried to record...
And actually it starterd ---RECORDING 1080p--- After that i tried it again but it wasnt able to record a video, even after setting it to 720p it still wasnt able to record.
So i installed it again and it worked again. So i looks like neo can record
1920x1080p - h.264 - mp4 - up to 30 bitrate and max of 30 fps
--> Looks like cleraring cache & data of Lgcamera fixes the "cannot record video bug" so u dont have to install it every time again.
To record properly i OC to 1800 Ondemand with 40 cpu treshhold, using lower settings resolved for me not to be able to record video in 1080 (even after reinstalling)
I see quite a improvement on a bigger screen.

Yes, you were right i uploaded it and youtube doesnt even reckognize 720p on the 1080p so its just a bug
Here if u wanna see.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xryZFicOR8Y&feature=youtu.be 1080p and 720p is in my account (just made a youtube acc for that ;D)
Still its a good app since we can choose focus mode and chance bitrates

[Q] Evo 3d 1080p recording

Hi there,
I'm confused regarding any speculations, etc if the HTC EVO 3D records 1080p video. The official specs say that it records 720p on 2D now.
Is there a custom rom which allows recording in 1080p? If yes, which is it?
Do you think it's worth the money over the HTC Sensation / Sensation XE? 300eur / 350eur / 399eur
Thanks
It doesn't do 1080p last time I checked. This is more or less a hardware limitation. I would just save my money and wait for the One series instead of considering this phone or the Sensation. Both are pretty outdated now.

Its not really a hardware limitation. They are 5megapixel so they have enough for 1080p...

1080p is about 2 mp so you're right. But I'm not sure if there's any limitation on processing the 1080p recording. Compressing is more work than decompressing. And even more work for 3d. Not saying it can't be done, but that could be another limitation. I'm not sure where anyone got stuck trying to achieve this.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
sensation does 1080p and our evo is technically more powerful, it is software because the wtsb rom does it using gpu rendering.
I think the One S is overpriced for it's specs. It has a Krait 1.5Ghz CPU and Adreno 225 and 8MP. The only thing it has is a better picture and video sensor. Also the 16GB onboard memory is not expandable! (no MicroSD) ;/
The One X is way to big to keep in my hand - 4.7inch. more than 4.3inches screen is an overkill for me ;/
The One X would be a revolutionary phone, though the size is what keeps me back.
Would consider spending 300eur vs 500eur? 200eur difference!
Also is the wtsb rom stable enough? Heard it has bugs in messages, 3D games, and some more. Have these been fixed?

LOL, One S is way better than One X and One XL is better than both.
The Dual-core krait is a lot more powerful than Quad-core tegra 3.
Search "tegra3 vs krait" on google and see benchmark tests and reviews.

mp its not the issue here, frames/sec while sustaining those mp it is...
if the camera requires more than 1/60 of sec to elaborate those pixels you cant use it for video, only for still images.
Ah I see, I think it's worth the wait for the One S then. I've compared some benchmarks, mainly tegra 3 gets defeated in loads of benchmarks as it's not using its full potential - 4 cores. Although tegra 3 scores higher in GPU intensive stuff.
One S get around the 430eur mark and I'll buy you will it?

mostly look like that snapdragon 3 was really memory starved, nearly all the S4 speed increment comes out of moving from a single channel 266mhz memory interface to a dual channel 500mhz one.
point of note, tegra 3 has a 1066mhz dual channel one and still is slower, in this case is just a core efficiency problem, probably the common cache memory is too small and the cores fight for accessing memory between themselves.
meanrom has a 1080p option, but it doesn't work.

1080p 3D recoding?
Hi guys!
This, allmost 1 year old ROM, in his description says it has not 1080p 2D recording but "1080p 3d recording in cam"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205331
This is CDMA version, so I cannot try it.
Can anyone test it?
And there are a lot of "Can EVO 3D do 1080p?" questions, and nobody even mentioned this ROM. Why?
The amaze camera app has the 1080p bit rate and you can find it in the dev section

GPU S3 vs S2. On what depends video decoding?

Hi
when I understood it in the right way, the S2 and S3 have the same GPU. (mali)
The only Difference is that the one from the S3 can run at 400Mhz.
But u can overclock the one from the S2 to 400 MHz too.
My question:
1.)If they run the GPU in the S3 @400 MHz is it then safe to overclock it in the S2 to 400MHz?
Or do they have a whole new cooling concept?
2.) On what depends the video decoding speed?
I can run h264 movies in 1080p at up to 14 MBit /s on my S2.
What bitrates is the S3 capable of?
Do they use CPU or GPU for hardware decoding?
Thx in advance
Generally hd video decoding are done via GPU, s3 is capable of playing any video at any format. the same stands for s2 , i havent found any videos incapable of playing.
No its not the same gpu.
sgs3 has double the power of sgs2 in gpu department due to clock speed and may be a nm shrink.
edit: looks like both are quadcore gpus
No its not the same gpu.

From what source you take that information?
My information:
S2 : DualCore + Mali 400 @ 266Mhz
S3 : QuadCore + Mali 400 @ 400Mhz
s3 is capable of playing any video at any format. the same stands for s2

I dont talk about the format.
The bitrate is the interesting thing. I can't play h264 videos with more than 14Mbit/s on my S2 @ an 1080p resolution
*push*
Does the galaxy s2 have mali-400mp4 the quad-core version of mali-400mp or some other one ?
it's really confusing
if it's a quad-core unit then how do i check that ?
And if possible could any of you put up a screen shot of gpu info from quadrant
improved Exynos CPU chip on a smaller die 32nm, (s2 45nm), its safe to use it at 400mhz but more heat is generated
Samsung mentioned its graphics performance is 50% higher than in the Galaxy S II, but this can easily be done by just upping the clock speed of the GPU to about 400MHz.

So they are different chips with different thermal profiles. Run the S3 at 400MHz and it is fine. Run the S2 at 400MHz and you get a lot of heat being generated.

The GPU can decode that without problems. Is your h264 video using AC3 audio? Test using a video with a standard mp3 audio track.
S3 more plastic feals cheap not my new Phone.. I am still use my sgs2.
Both are fast at playing Videos. I cant find any Video that can or will make any problem
I think i sell my s3

I transferred some videos recorded on my friend's s3 and played them on my phone and it plays fine but gets stuck at some points, misses some frames and then continues, audio goes on but video gets stuck. It worked fine if I forward to the point where it happens, then that part plays smoothly. from what I read, the S2 and S3 both record 1080 at 17 mbps so why is this happening? The files are stored on the internal SD and I played them using stock video player. I'm on siyah kernal also.

Can MTK6575 phones play 720P videos?

Hi guys i recently bought a 6Inch chinies phone from ebay.com. The model number is N9880. I tried playing 720P video and it doesn't play smoothly. So was wondering if its the same case with all the MTK6575 phones ? if so, is there a way to fix it?
I have the zopo 300 and i'm very disappointed by the
Performance it lags badly camera stutters video playback Is crap on anything over 480p The stock player doesn't play anything if it's not mpg2 or
mp4 and even then sometimes it will come up with
"Sorry this video cannot be played"
It drops calls and i never get 3 bars on any sim card.
I can't believe the adreno200 plays video just fine and any resolution when i was told the powervr sgx 531 was faster than the adreno. Wasted money...
Yep, no 720p :/
