HW overlays, ghosting effects - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. I just recently got a Galaxy S3 and just had a couple of questions.
First of all: I have noticed the slight flickering that other galaxy users have experienced from using texting. And I know its a very common issue, but has anyone found a solution to the problem? it's a very tiny flicker so it's not a big problem, but its the principle I suppose. Just wondering if anyones found a fix!
Okay, secondly, im familiar with the disabling the hardware overlays to fix some issues, like when I go to play games like Shadowgun Deadzone, however has anyone had an issue where after they checked it off, their browsers have a sort of "ghosting" effect while scrolling up and down? It fixed the game, but made the ui buggy....kind of a weird tradeoff. Also, it froze my video player so it doesnt move. Anybody got a helpful solution for this? Please and thank you!

Any updates on the audio problem that crashes games?

I recently installed Star Legends in my galaxy s2 (great game btw, try it) the problem is every now and then the game just freezes and crashes back to main screen. This would be annoying in any game but it is specialy annoying in a MMO like star legends because it kicks you out of the current session and you cant go back in to the same one it seems.
I did some searching and I found out that the galaxy s2 (and maybe dual core phones in general) have some problem with the way the audio is implemented by samsung or something that makes it crash. So far the guys who make star legends have pretty much said that they dont have an S2 at the moment and wont be fixing it until they get one and see if they can.. and that samsung should fix that on their part.
I am using the latest villain rom with the latest Ninphetamine kernell (2.05) and everything else works so good it is not even funny, this phone is the best phone in the planet by far except for this little bug that really gets on my nerves.
Is there any alternate fix for this? Thanks! (I already tried lowering the volume and dissabling sound in the game completly, it still crashes from time to time)
Guess not
I'm curious as well.
I have the audio crash problem with Cut the Rope and HexDefense.
ZDefense automatically disables the audio because I have an S2.
You can keep track on the (lack of) progress here.

[Q] Sound bug? Audio delay in games

Hi,
I'm very satisfied with my z2 tablet.
But: While gaming Dead Trigger, GTA Vice City and Modern Combat 4 I experience an audio delay of approx. 0.5 - 0.7 seconds. Every other app including other games e.g. Asphalt 8 and videoplayback runs just fine without any audio delay.
Does anybody else encounter such a delay while gaming one of the abovementioned games?
thanks in advance

Yes, I can confirm it playing riptide! However I think this is a software problem which will most probably be fixed soon...

I can confirm that with several emulators. e.g. ePSXe or SuperN64 (Mupen)
I'm also getting this, I noticed it when playing worms 2 and the new walking dead game. Has anyone heard of an upcoming fix?
I have the bug too...
I am also facing this issue when playing worms 2. Anyone else? It also seems to be present in Netflix according to some users at talk.Sonymobile.com forums.
Try disabling all sound improvements

I think I tried that, as in using default settings in the equaliser. Did you have problems aswell and it solved it for you.

On mine, there is an equalizer setting called off. I don't think equalizer does much harm though, no matter what setting. It is just that sound improvement are digital filters and in nature will always introduce some delay and processing overhead. Of course it should not cause such a noticeable delay however the more processing involved the more error sources. In order to locate an error, you need to minimize the variables. Therefore if disabling all sound modifications help, you can then start to enable them one by one an see if and when the problem reoccur and what causes it.
I have not experienced the problem, however I hardly have sound on anything (especially games, though I don't play much) unless the sound is what matters, because of a health issue making me very sound/noise sensitive.
With the latest update (.402) the audio delay has been reduced sharply, but is still there from what I can tell.
What are your experiences?

I have the bug in Worms 2 and it's off by some ms. First I uninstalled it and reinstalled which worked. When I tried today it was suffering from the bug again. I then tried to clear app data which worked - but only for one session! Closing the game and starting the game again made the bug come back. So I tried to wipe app data and restart, sound in sync again... But only for one session. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell me why this happens?
Reply from Sony
I got fed up with the audio delay (in games not so annoying, but for video much more irritating) and wrote Sony about it. It is only the Z2 tablet that has problem with these apps, the apps work fine on my other Android devices.
Sony's reply was that they don't care:
Sony Xperia Support said:
Dear Gnopps,
Thank you for contacting Sony Xperia Support.
We are sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing with your Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet.
Does the audio delay occur in built in apps? Unfortunately we can not guarantee compatibility with third party apps and are unable to provide you support on them or a fix to your solution. We recommend you to contact the app developers for further information and support.
Kind Regards,
Sony Xperia Support, SE.

I havent fixed it yet, the only app I have problems with is Worms 2 and it works if I clear app cache. I have to that every time I want to play it though making progress almost impossible ;/.
Sad to hear that Sony doesnt care...
Sony support is really one of the WORST.
You only need to read what users experienced regarding the touchscreen problems (which is a far more serious problem than audio delay in games). Like the North Korean government, Sony says it doesn't know of any problems. The customer is the ass.
I love my Z2 Tablet, but this company just plain sucks.

[Q] Bird V12/V1277|Chinese Phone rom flashing question

Hello everyone, I have a question about flashing Bird V1277 or V12. Unfortunatelly I'm very confused about flashing a rom on this unknown chinese phone, but I would really like to flash it because I have gyroscope sensor problems (They're not responding or working), I tried callibration sequence, no work. As well I have problems while watching mp4 or any kind of video on MV Player or BS Player.. H/W Decoding doesn't work, only gives sounds, S/W has too many lag spikes and sounds stop for a few seconds. Multitouch bug.. Did anyone experience a bug with volume max/min buttons on the right? I pressed that and nothing came up.. but after squeezing my phone at volume change thing.. it works, I don't know if that's software bug or hardware.. If anyone has advice or similar, I will be happy to get my phone into working order. Thank you!
And of course.. Is it safe to flash it?
Phone: Android Phone Bird V12/V1277
P.S. Sorry for the double topic, but the other section was filled with other topics so I thought someone who can help won't see my topic.. Once again, I apologize.

Youtube app lagging like crazy on ALL quality modes

Hi guys,
I'm using a S6, G920i on XtreStoLite's latest ROM. Recently, I found that youtube videos stutter like mad (read: not buffering, but stuttering) regardless of the quality mode ( from 140p to 1440p). This is also despite the fact that my WiFi connection is hitting 150mbps ul/dl on Speedtest.net.
Have tried uninstalling YouTube and reinstalling everything but to no avail.
The problem does not exist if I stream via Chrome - but the problem is I can't set the quality within Android Chrome.
Anyone else facing the same issue? How do I resolve it?
Thanks!
I have also the same problem. The only solution I found is clicking the home button, go again to YouTube and repeat this sometimes. Then it runs fine
YouTube-App is lagging
Thank me, by hitting the Thanks Button

Thanks, but it didn't work for my case. The stuttering is still present regardless of whether I click to home or reboot.
anyone facing the same issue and found a solution??
hello?????
I think you have a problem with your rom.
You can decrease lcd density to make it faster and smooth.
You better increase ram management.
