does anyone else notice a very slight stutter when playing youtube videos using the included youtube player? the audio is perfect and so is the picture quality but literally every second on smooth panning/movement scenes i see it. htc watch trailers don't seem to suffer this but ive only watched a few so far.
same videos play fine on my hd2 running wm (audio slightly out of sync but thats a known hd2 thing)
i get the same results using wifi, or cellular network and still the same if i allow the video to fully download.
even worse ANYTHING that brings up any on screen display makes the video lag for a few seconds, the watch app lags with osd stuff too.
rebooting doesn't make any change
is this just the way it is or could something in the background be causing it, maybe some of the crud installed by my network (3 uk) ?
It's interesting that you mentioned it. I've has the same preborn with my first sensation. I exchanged it for dust problem last week, and surprisingly, the new one doesn't stutter with the same settings.... It Really beats me...

no dust problem for me luckily, did you have dust from the beginning or has it worked its way in somehow.?
ive tried everything i can think of except for a factory reset and i still have the youtube stutter, youtube player and streaming media player both drop frames and really badly stutter if there is any sort of on screen display or info showing over the video.
streaming watch trailers on mvideoplayer is perfect in every way though! so it seems the hardware can do it and is working fine.
I got a HTC Sensation 4G from T-Mobile a couple of days back, its a great phone but i discovered something very annoying today. I transferred a few divx/xvid videos to the phone, the videos appear in the gallery and i can play them but after about 1min 30 sec the sounds disappears! This happens with every video i have tried so far. I tried using mobo player but still the same problem. If i seek forward the sound comes back only to disappear in a min or so.
I dont know if this handset specific or something else
Several other threads on this issue here, last time I checked people were saying that Dice Player worked fine (its the best player for the Sensation anyways, so well worth buying).
Ok, so I bought a Nexus S outright, just the phone from bestbuy back in March. Everything works with my phone except when steaming videos (using youtube) the playback is choppy. The audio works perfect and fine. It is not the buffering either. When the video is playing, the picture will freeze for about 3-7 seconds, while the audio is still playing normally, then the video will pick back up in sync with the playback. Basically it is impossible to watch video so my phone useless when it comes to watching anything on it. I realize I should of done something earlier, but is it too late to try to get bestbuy to give me a new phone? Or should I contact samsung? Or am I just screwed?
[Q] Did you try updating the flash player that might help
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
So I have the Charge, it's stock. I've added a few apps but that's it. Here in the last couple of weeks when playing Pandora or the music loaded on the phone it just stops. It doesn't exit the player, just stops. At first I thought it was just Pandora, so I tried to listen to my music loaded on the phone and it does it as well. Does anyone know what's going on? It didn't do that before. I don't know what's changed, Maybe an upgrade?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Bryan
Oh, and this will happen with the screen on or off.
Had the same issue on stock, Pandora would act as though I had paused it. I would just tap pause and it would resume playing again.
Oddly, I have not had the same issue since flashing the EP3HA debloat & updated kernel.
Same issue here. Just hit play and continue listening. It doesn't happen all that often.

Moving to Q&A
I went to the last place on earth to get answers A VERIZON STORE, and they called the tech people and there have been no known complaints about this. They suggested a hard reset. I've been listening to my music (loaded on the SD card) and it's stopped at least 5 times. I think it's the player. IDK.
I wander? I know that if you unplug the speakers/headphones it will pause the music. I wander if the connector on the phone isn't getting hot or something and disconnecting. I'm gona listen to it on the speaker and see if it still happens.
I get it all the time

sounds like it could be a number of things: bad audio chip, bad 3.5mm connector (either in the phone or headphone plug is defective/not enough rings or whatever on connector to work properly), could be the Pandora app or music player app being retarded... you would have to try different headphones, different apps, using your headphones on another Charge if you could and see if it still happens, clearing app data/cache or uninstalling/reinstalling the apps... idk just my 2 cents, I've never had audio problems on my Charge
Normally I'd agree, however like I said this just started. I've used this particular speaker set from day one. I bought this phone the day they came out and I've used the music player and pandora from the day I bought it. I just started having this issue last week. To day, on the way home (hour drive) I let the mp3 player play through the speaker. By the time I got home it stopped. But not in the normal way. There was no sound but the player was still playing. I stopped it and then restarted and it still had no sound. I made a call using the speaker and that worked. After the call I tried the audio again and what do you know, it worked. So that really doesn't tell me anything lol.
So I gave in and did the hard reset. And as I thought, nothing changed. It still stops playing. The only difference is now I have to redownload my apps. I think I'm going to set up my video camera and let it record it and then take it into the store. That way they can see that it does it with both internal and external programs. Then see what they say. I do have the insurance, I wonder if they would change it out?

sounds like its defective hardware then, maybe the sound card's going out... and they should be able to switch it out under warranty so you don't have to pay the deductible or whatever for Asurions insurance claim
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
Samsung wants me to send it in, but this is the only phone I have. I do have the insurance from VW so I guess I'll be seeing them this weekend.
Oh, here is a funny.
So I e-mailed Samsung and explained my issue. I was told to transfer the music to the phone that way we could see if it wasn't the SD card.
Saw this thread and figured I'd chime in.
I'm having very similar issues for the last few months with any audio software:
-Listen
-Rhapsody (I have a subscription)
-Pandora
-Music player (from Google)
Doesn't seem to matter if I'm playing media off of SD or streaming. For a while I thought it was the overzealous stock task killer. I was running bone stock 2.2 when these issues started occurring. Tried a factory reset, formatted SD card to no avail. That failed to fix it... I rooted and flashed 2.3.5 with imoseyon's kernel but that didn't do the trick either (but I love how the phone runs now).
I went into a Verizon store to see if they've seen similar complaints. Rep looked at my phone and searched for any similar complaints in the database but found none. He went ahead and ordered me a refurb to swap without too much fuss.
Guess we'll see what happens next.
I've been having "skips" while listening to mps3 or streaming music myself. I tried several players off the market plus Rhapsody and Spotify. In an hour I would get 5 or so skips if not more once in a while. Skips kinda like how a cd player would back in the day.
I finally had enough with it (and data and gps issues) and called in today. Told them I already did a hard reset so the rep just sent me out a new phone. I'll see how it works out. The second it gives me issues I will just call back in for another Charge.
Heaven forbid but if I go through 4-5 handsets I am requesting a Droid Bionic. They seem to have their own issues but Moto has came out and said their OTA fix is coming in 30-60 days. I've yet to hear about an official OTA for the charge yet and its damn near the end of the year...
Just received my new device while at work. Immediately popped in the sim and sd card from my old phone and downloaded Pandora to stream at my desk. Songs kept played for hours non stop with no issues.
Everything was fine until I started installing apps. Pandora continues to pause at random.

I noticed dropping data coverage caused this

I've had an iPhone for the past 5 years.
I decided to take the plunge & buy an android yesterday.
I purchased the AT&T HTC One XL.
This is my experience so far:
1) Audio -- while listening to music, opening another app sometimes either crashes the player or momentarily fragments the sound.
2) Connectivity (in NYC using the 4G LTE network) -- very patchy. Seems to go in and out, even though I've never had these issues in the same area on the 3G network. Don't know if this is a network issue, or just a phone connectivity issue overall. Pandora constantly goes 'in and out'.
3) Seems like there is no caching (anywhere):
a) Opening a web site, briefly checking my mail, and then switching back to the website, makes the website reload.
b) Conversely, opening, e..g, my mail, going to the web browser, and then going back to my mail, makes my mail reload.
For a phone with 1GB of RAM, I don't anticipate this issue -- my iPhone 4 with half the ram was able to keep many more apps and browser tabs in memory for extended periods of time.
Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Do I have a faulty phone?
Are any of these 'issues' just the way the android OS works? (like said, i've never used android before, so i have no clue.!)
Will a future software update fix them?
I'm very much contemplating returning this device and reviving my iphone 4;
but I don't want to if i don't have to -- android allows everyone I wish the iphone would.
Thanks you.
I haven't had any of the issues you are mentioning. I used my music player for an hour while mowing the grass tonight. As far as the 4G LTE goes, I can't comment on that since I don't have it where I live.
When your music was messing up, where you using the music app or google music player? I would try the other just to see if that issue is with both.
Other than that, I would swap the phone out as you may have just got a bad one.
I take it you have the ATT ONe X?
I just got my ATT One X today, so I haven't fully put it through the tests, but I did have an Unlocked Euro One X about a month ago that had quite a few bugs. One was the sound issue you mentioned. When I played music thru any music player the sound broke up when you hit a hardwear button or sometimes just on its own.

Got mine yesterday and having only the issue with wifi signal and 4g signal showing. Lte is lightning fast where I am. I've been able to listen to music through my car speakers, take phone calls and text at the same time.
No eta and she shuddered a lot like she wanted to say an eta but the manager that was also talking stopped her I think lol. And it does work fine in the car it's when your using the built in speaker and doing other stuff . It's an intermittent issue
I am having issue number 3. My original iphone multitasked better than my one x is right now. Web pages always reload when I go back to them no matter the browser. Heck almost every app reloads.
Here's the number I called fyi
8664498358
For your nyc issue. You wouldn't happen to me walking would you? It might be connecting to Starbucks WiFi which can't be disable if WiFi is on. This was happening to me

Yes #2 is a HUGE issue for me. To the point (as expressed in another thread) that I'm ready to return it altogether and just keep my Sprint contract alive afterall for their EVO 4G LTE...Despite the fact I won't have 4G, at least I know their network is up consistently and is reliable!
I talked to a nice lady on the phone just now and she said this was the first time she had a call from a subscriber with a One X...So she hasn't heard anything. Just not enough data and time. She looked at some notes and AT&T does have the WiFi issue flagged in their system. I told her yes I was experiencing that one too. It's an issue when coming out of WiFi your data doesn't connect.
She had me turn off my phone, she disconnected me from their network and then I came back on it. After I explained to her with the WiFi issue, I worked around it by turning all off and then airplane mode, she said, yes airplane mode does the same thing and will essentially reset your connection to their network. You may be assigned a different tower, IP, etc.
So you can try that. Turn everything all off. Then turn airplane mode on. Then off and then the mobile network back on. You'll see a notice saying "preparing SIM card" ...
However, despite all that. I still have constant connectivity issues. The phone will not stay connected for long periods of time. It is always bouncing between LTE, HSPA+ and simply not connected at all. There's a few apps that I go to update in the store and all their downloads fail because the phone will not stay connected long enough to download them.
WHEN the phone is connected, for those brief periods of time, the speeds are good. I've seen nearly 30Mbps download on LTE to a close test server and 5, 10, 23, etc. on test servers farther away. It's extremely fast. Unfortunately, the phone simply won't stay connected to their network rendering it just about useless for anything other than getting some e-mail messages as they are able to trickle in.
thanks
The connectivity issue is horrible on my phone. I don't even have any clue that it's gone bad until I try to send a text or make a call that refuses to go through. A reset used to fix my problem, but recently it became very very stubborn (many resets... thought I tried everything and was preparing to drive to the store) and then I tried the all radios off, airplane on, airplane off, mobile on and it finally fixed itself. very frustrating, but thanks for the tip. Not sure I'll be keeping this phone. My iPhone 3gs was overall far more reliable.

That's explains why you didn't experience the #1 issue, it's only when music player is on background you start/switch to another app.
I'm experiencing all the above, but after LG Nitro HD I'll take these issues ten fold without complains. This phone is awesome even these issues.
the caching one sucks!

I have #2 and #3.
I was going to give HTC till day 29 prior to returning it,, however, ive changed my mind. Taking back tomorrow morning. It frustrates me to no end for the following reasons in order of importance.
1. Battery Life- only 6-8 hours with maybe 1.5 hours screen time. Thought maybe I received a dud based upon the reports of others but,,,,
2. Multitasking- there is none. 3/4 of the memory is ate up with crap running which probably accounts for the lack of caching. Due to there being no multitasking, my old iphone, iphone 4s and lumia 900 wipe the floor with this unit. It actually reminds me of the old galaxy S in terms of performance.
3. messaging- no notification
4. email-Can only send one attachment at a time.
5. email, cant click links, must copy
6. email- when you move an email to a folder, you must do additional steps to get back to inbox
7. System- pretty much everything requires so many additional taps, it is counter intuitive
8. camera- not on par with iphone 4s or galaxy s2, however software is better. I really wonder if the compression settings are what is destroying the photos.
9. No Visual Voicemail- without downloading more crappy bloatware from ATT
I do love the screen, the Quadrant scores are outstanding but not indicative of the phones actual performance and usability. I was excited, now not so much at all. There are so many other things to list but numbers 1,2,3 pretty much negate the use of this phone. I also have the Lumia 900 and iphone 4S. And so far I am most impressed by the Lumia900. However, it's camera,well, stinks.
You're crazy bro. I just scanned 6 pages wirelessly from my WorkForce 545 with my HTC One and emailed them out directly...that was 6 attached files...
Battery is awesome, but you could drain it in a few hours depending on what you do...but the same goes for every other phone.
I mean, I'd seriously give the thing a factory reset and a good charge. Play with it some more... He'll, root it and use titanium backup to remove bloatware...
But eh up to you
