Howdy,
Question about YouTube on the Note 2. Is there some reason it buffers constantly for some vids but not others? For example HD gameplay videos from Matroix (Call of Duty vids) buffer ever few seconds, while HD vids from Marques Brownlee (MKBHD - Android and tech vids) not only don't pause to buffer but the progress bar screams across. Is this something to do with YouTube, the Note 2, or different methods the authors used for converting/compressing their files?
Thanks!

I should clarify, this is over WiFi at home, with about 10-12 Mbps.
Why my WiFi is only 1/5th of my wired speeds is a question for another forum...

One more factoid... I was just trying a video on Ali-A's (Matroix) channel, in SD instead of HD, and it STILL paused to buffer. What deuce...

Maybe not me only. On Beans, I would get this buffer on all hq videos. On Mean Beans no buffer. Don't know what's up but ill get to the bottom of this.

I have ruled out dns, and I have plenty of bandwidth, however every youtube video on my wifi stops every few seconds.
There is no 4g, so I would be most appreciated if anyone has any pointers.

Is the red staying ahead if the little drag icon? I know on 3g it does it a lot for me but not on 4G or WiFi.

Where the 4g seemed to stream and cache, the 3d streams only and constantly stops. I have 12GB WITH UVERSE, so it's not bandwidth.

I can tell you it might be that the recent release of YouTube is wayyy messed up... I could be just that. Try going to mobile YouTube website and see if it streams normally... At least until they fix the app in an update.

I have no idea if potatoman's custom camera mod has any flaws,
but I do know for a fact that the stock camera in our SGS2 phones
do achieve the full 30fps in all video recording modes except in the
very highest HD video mode where it only achieves approx 25fps
which is really excellent too.
Check it out yourselves using a windows app called MediaInfo, it's a
free download: http://www.videohelp.com/tools/MediaInfo
It adds an option in explorer so when you right click on a video file it will
add an option called "mediainfo" and all you do is click that and a box will
popup with useful information about the video including exact frame rates.

When you do make these new fps tests, be sure to make two of them.
One at the highest video settings which is HD 1080p it's at the top of the
list which normally is the default setting.
Then go down one step to the second choice in the list which is HD 720p.
You will find that the HD 720p setting will achieve the full 30fps while
the the highest settings HD 1080p in the list achieves at least 25fps.
(which is very good too)
Okay I am aware of this the mod I spoke of guess you 30fps on highest setting 1080p which is what I was wondering if anyone has tested it seems I might be the first also will back up current files

Camera on that particular rom seems snappier and higher clarity.
Haven't tried any videos yet I know pic quality is awesome but need to do a video for it I did read audio is better
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Did anyone ever try this out for the I777? I noticed on Potatoman's old thread that he now recommends the lgcamera app from the market. Is this hack baked into any of the roms here, or was that just something that the OGS2 devs added?
I use to use that camera in my rom but it had issue with 1080p focusing and also had audio/video sync issues. I believe that was due to the fps hack.
So I modded mine to up the audio only for both 720p/1080p.

Moblynx has taken the ICS camera app, tweaked it with some added features, and added support for 2.2/2.3 phones. There is a free version with ads or $.99 for the non-ad version. IThere's a short review over on Android Central, and it's called "Camera ICS" on the market. I'd post links but I can't do that yet.
Anyway to make the video quality better when I connect the mhl adapter from phone to tv. For example better resolution.???
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Not really. What is the resolution, codec, and bitrate of the videos you are trying to watch?
For example YouTube videos. When playing mostly like squares not very good quality on a flat 46 lcd tv
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The youtube app is not HD, which is why it looks like crap on a big 46 inch monitor
There is an HD YouTube apk you can install. (Installation requires root)

I've been playing MC4 using the MOGA and this has to be one of the best games out. Played single player for awhile, but multiplayer is awesome. No lag or anything. Just wish I could adjust sensitivity for aiming. Sometimes it's too sensitive.

Thanks for sharing, I loved MC3, and was actually just trying to play it about a half hour ago, but always have trouble connecting to the server for multiplayer games. I assume that's because everybody is playing MC4 though! Any issues connecting for you?
MC4 bought and downloading :thumbup:

Played for a bit last night, this game is the shi*t! However I just tried to play again and every time I go to search for a match it says "connection lost" and brings me back to the sign in page.
I don't understand why I always have issues connecting to their servers. MC3 was almost impossible to get into a game, but once you did it was great! Even just now I tried to play MC3 and I did quick match so it would just pick the best game... so it throws me in a match with nobody in it!

I agree. I got the MOGA for free and it came with mc4 free code. The game is sick for a phone, but like the PSP, the analog nubs are too sensitive.

Not that I know, they've got a deal powera since the MOGA is integrated. Don't think they would integrate it as it would take away sales of the MOGA.

Played MC3 but not the 4th. Is it worth 7 bucks?
no native sixaxis...
but i was able to find a .map file online which got the sixaxis controller running perfectly with the game
It is pretty bad a$$
Don't see in Play Store, Where can I get it?
Is it possible to play using wireless bluetooth mouse and keyboard? As a pc gamer I've always preferred it over console controllers esp for fps games, thanks

Its 4g but I can't even load a YouTube video on HQ and on regular quality it HAS to buffer the whole video before playing it. So in a nutshell I can't stream video properly. Websites like Google and yahoo all work pretty snappy its just that streaming issue that's killing me lol

You might be getting throttled straight talk is random first I would take out your battery and your sim card for about 30 seconds then put em back in and turn it on. I f that doesnt work call their customer service and let them know your service is running slow and follow their instructions. I've had this happen a few times and these two steps worked for me when I call them I take out the battery and the sim card as well just because not sure it if helps.
also use the speed test app to see if there is any difference in your speed before and after you follow these steps hope it helps.

I think it might be something else cause I've been on wifi almost the whole month cause I'm always home working on music.. maybe my APN's wrong or something.. is your straight talk slow after a while? Like do you by any chance what's our speed cap??

Its not throttling, I have the same issue, I think its AT&T servers. I have the same service but on TMobile SIM and I switch SIM cards and on TMobile I get faster server and uninterrupted service. I think problem is mainly with ping times. My 3MB/sec AT&T service is wayyy slower than the 5MB/sec TMobile service (both on Straighttalk SIMs on the same GNote i717.
(P.S. I thought I need to Root to get 4G with TMobile sim but it works without root. Strange?!
