try installing armv7 neon codec from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_neon&feature=more_from_developer
but i don't think this will solve the problem because a 2 GHz CPU is not enough to play full hd video

---

so why my S2 with the same CPU and GPU can play full hd?

the video is decoded in two ways:1-in hw mode using dsp (vpu) not gpu, s2 can decode full hd but sola can decode only hd
2-in sw mode using the cpu, obviously sola cant play smoothly full hd with its 2 ghz cpu, but i dont know if s2 can play smoothly full hd with its 2.4 ghz cpu, especially high profile high level videos like one downloaded from youtube, you can try that and tell me the result

---

i can play full HD by my S2 with both SW & HW.
so is it posible to play fullhd with SOLA by overclocking its cpu?

i dont think that .4 ghz will make that much difference , im suspecting that sola cpu doesn't have neon component , did u try installing mx neon codec?

---

i dont reach it now, ill let you know later
thank u for your answers.

If you’re unsure of whether your phone’s processor supports NEON or not, download the app Explorer (or any other file manager) from the Play Store (Android Market) and install it on your phone. Then, open Explorer (or any other file manager), go into the proc folder, then click on the cpuinfo file (and select Text Viewer if given the option). In the cpuinfo file, check whether it says neon in the Features line as shown in screenshot below.
download explorer from here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.explorer

neon is a media processing engine that accelerates video playback in cpu
r u sure it has neon? did u do the above steps? so how come the cpu in s2 can play smoothly full hd video while cpu in sola cant although they almost have same speed and both have neon?
i think u should install armv7 neon codec as a last resort

---

yes it is neon.
im so sorry,i did a mistake, i cant play fullhd on my s2 by SW mode.
but why? the cpu is very powerful!

i overclocked my cpu to 1500, its better but still not smooth .

i think full hd video needs at least quad core cpu to play smoothly on a smartphone
so,i guess there is no way to play full hd video on sola
xperia p and s can decode full hd video in hw mode although they have the same chipset as sola because they have dual dsp unlike sola which i guess has single dsp which can only decode hd video high [email protected] 3.1 with 4 ref frames, it cant even decode hd video high [email protected] 4 with 4 ref frames, thats very stupid from the company, but i guess the 2 ghz cpu with neon can decode hd video high [email protected] 5.1 with 4 ref frames like this sample:

the link works now
the video in post no1 is (720p avc [email protected] 4 with 4 ref frames), which cant be played by dsp which plays only (720p avc [email protected] 3.1 with 4 ref frames)

can you please tell me more about [email protected] X and X ref frames???
what is it?

the avc codec has 3 profiles: baseline,main,high most videos now are high profile
each profile ranges from level 1.3 to 5.1, most hd videos are either 3.1 or 4 or 4.1 or 4.2
the number of ref frames ranges from 1 to 16, most videos have from 1 to 8 frames max, the default is 4
so a typical hd video is high [email protected] 4 with 4 ref frames
if u increase the level and number of ref frames, the video becomes more complex and more difficult to play smoothly or doesnt play at all in case of hw decoding or plays slowly in case of sw decoding
for example xperia sola supports max hd avc [email protected] with 4 ref frames , but doesnt support level 4 with 4 frames
if u want to know the specs of video files download an app called (media info) from here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/files/binary/mediainfo-gui/0.7.59/MediaInfo_GUI_0.7.59_Windows_i386.exe/download
u mean u can play it smoothly in sw and hw in s2 or sola?
