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.
So, the I/O-speed often is the bottleneck for the tf300. I knew this already, just like the most of you probably. It didn't bother me too much, as I didn't have a lot of issues because of it.
Lately I did start to encounter problems with it, because I started to use my tablet for streaming video. The result is that I can watch about 30 seconds of video, have to wait 30 seconds while the device is buffering, can watch another 30 seconds of video, wait for buffering again, and so on.... It seems the device is not capable to buffer while playing video. Well, you can imagine I don't have the patience nor the wish to watch any video till the end under these circumstances.
As I see and know that the network connection is just fine for streaming video capabilities (it works fine on my laptop and phone for instance), I am pretty sure the problems I have on the tf300 are due to the I/O-issues.
Now my specific question is: is there any solution or workaround to avoid lagging video streams because of these I/O speed issues?
And on a wider spectrum: Is there any way to improve overall I/O-speed performance on the tf300?
Any help is much appreciated.
FYI: My tf300 is rooted, but not unlocked. I prefer to keep it this way, unless there is no option at all to get around these issues without an unlocked device.

i/o can be a problem but this is a bit extreme even for a tf300, what kind of bitrate has that video? raw 4k?

:laugh: No, it is not raw 4k.
The video-stream has a bitrate varying from 0,8 to 1,5 Mbit/s.

Those youtube videos don't play well on my tf300 either, I always have to 'untick' the HD or HQ button in the videos to play them smoothly.
Do you run stock Android with latest OTA updates on your tf300?
I do run stock indeed. Only rooted.
Well, I'll give it a try by completely factory-resetting my tf300. I doubt it will make a difference, but without trying I'll never know.
Resurrecting I see this thread was never resolved, and if the streaming was addressed elswhere I couldn't find it.
Picked up this tablet recently, 4.2.1 rooted stock. Youtube streaming is unwatchable in HD - not enough buffer, but handles HQ or lower fine. Can stream 1080P fine on my desktop, and HD fine on my Razr I and Arc S. Which makes me question, why the inability to cache enough of the video on the TF300T?
Learn from linux
Hmm I stumbled across a few articles, how to improve linux for netbooks. Some involved lowering the writeback to get better I/O-speeds while batterylife gets improved. Maybe one could figure out how much of this applys with Android and the eMMC drive in our tablet and tweak it accordingly.
Best regards.

I had no issues with surdu_petru's overclocked kernels, got around 10000 i.o (sio scheduler) in quadrant, in saying that that kernel got me a score of 7100 on quadrant overall which must be close to the best for tegra 3s?
Owned my shield a couple days now. Laying in my bed and watching netflix is something I do every nite so this problem is quite annoying for me. While watching netflix the buffering dialog will popup quite often, almost to the point its unwatchable. Sometimes I can get thru a whole episode of something and it wont happen and others itll happen every minute or two. I know its not my signal or connection because I have full bars and I have more then enough download speed to handle simoultaneous streaming from several devices. I also have noticed the colors will get dimmer sometimes and then a few seconds later theyll be bright and vibrant again. Almost like the screen is dimming a slight amount. Does anyone have either of these problems with their shield and netflix? Id like to think im not the only one, I would hate to have bought a bad unit, albeit very unlikely thats what happened. Thanks for reading.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
I've experienced some netflix buffering issues on my shield as well. In my experience it is simply just the wireless connection strength. I have about 50% connection in my basement and speed tests and most things appear perfect (Can stream perfectly too) but netflix will buffer occasionally even though it seems like it shouldn't. Probably just loosing some packets every now and then cause it doesn't happen when in a stronger connection.
As for the screen dimming and brightness this is a known issue and posted heavily about in the main nvidia forums. I'm not sure if the cause is quite known yet and i see it usually when web surfing but it doesnt really bother me much, but would certainly be happy if a software fix is released that fixes that.

Weird, i don't have the screen dimming issue. my screen works fine!
Anyone experience this, I seem to never go above 480p when streaming Netflix
This occurs regardless of whether I'm connected to WiFi or cellular and I have plenty of bandwidth
Stream locks at 1750 kbps , I though you could get at least 720p on android, if not 1080p
I am rooted if that matters

I have some serious lag when shooting at 1080p 30fps. My device simply cannot make smooth videos, each of them is laggy. At least 1 frame always drops after some seconds. When I started using it 1 month ago, it wasn't the same, but now I just can't record videos with this phone. Anyone else experiencing that?
This phone has just stopped being capable of making videos - again. The situation is even worse than it was in the beginnings. The Miui 12 update brought back all the laggy stuttering, i just simply cannot shoot useful videos with the phone now, again. As it was mentioned before, it was usable in the last months - as much as i can remember, the problem was solved by the A10 update. But now, this phone is a crap when it comes to creating videos. (Both 1080p and 4k 30 fps.)
I've really had enough, f*ck xiaomi and this crap phone, they sell it as a cameraphone, and still, in 2020 this device is unable of making real motion picture. Their update policy is shocking, how can an upgrade ruin a basic function like that? It is ridicolous that xiaomi is unable to build phones that are capable of shooting smooth videos. I'm really tired of it, time to say this company ciao, and evade their phones - whatever they promise in their ads.
yes her same lag on 1080p 30fps im on miui 11.0.5 china stable
whats your Rom

My MIUI is Global 11.0.12.0 Stable
Same here.
Also opening the camera app and switching from photo to video takes toooo damn long. Like 3/5 seconds. Insane.

Am on 11.0.12.0 and 30fps is fine, no frame drop, i hope what you mean by laggy is not the stabilizing motion in effect when recording. (The counter movement by the image stabilization to prevent shake, it sometimes looks like if the video is delayed in movement)

No, it is simply laggy. Maybe I should upload a sample somewhere.
I tried to play these videos on different PC-s using different media player programs, but still, most of them are laggy. And my Mi Note 10 simply can't play its own videos without lag/framedrop, no matter which resolution/fps I record at. Is it playing its own videos smoothly for you?
(In some videos, it is just a playback error (which is not OK at all), because when I play them on my PC, they're OK. But in most of the videos, there is lag, framedrops at the same time, no matter, which program I use.)
Here are some short samples recorded at 1080p 30 fps. No matter, in which media player program/app I play them, no matter on which PC or which smartphone, there are lags (or framedrops) at the same moments of the videos. 9 out of 10 videos are like these or worse when I shoot with Xiaomi Mi Note 10 unfortunately. Is it just me, or does anyone else experience these problems?
1.: https://youtu.be/hkVcvmzvW2w
Some lag while turning around, especially in the first half of the video.
2.: https://youtu.be/EwePHqHtF4w
It can be clearly seen in the first part of the video, it's like if it stopped for some moments.
3.: https://youtu.be/N9Ceo6_8s7E
Wait until the 2nd half of the video, when it turns back, there are some major lags.
I also have the same issues
I also have the same issues in particular in 4K photography - really disappointing I bought the phone because of the camera and it was a bad choice. And most YouTube reviewers have hidden the problem because they are profiting from sales - shame !!

Exactly, same here. Now I regret buying it, I should sell it.
In 4K and 1080p 60 fps it's even worse, much much worse. These functions are simply useless.
i just hope i can replicate your issue. but i can't. recording went just fine. probably something buggy in rom,kernel,app, not sure.
I always use 60fps so it's not a problem for me but it's just the 4k which is not smooth at all but I don't have noticable stutter issues or frame drops. Hopefully we can see a stable 4K soon. This is a sample of my device.

Forgot to mention that 4K/30fps works great on ULTRACAM!

And this is a 4k video sample by ultracam totally fine.

How about factory reset ? Or reflash ROM ?

I've done factory reset, it didn't help. I have never done Rom flash before, not sure how to, I will search for it.
FIXED
I installed the latest version of HyperCam and it fixed all my problems - - Please note the app is not in the store and need to be installed externally
Look for - mediafire.com/file/wlm7b78gjfi08fv/HyperCam_S_v1.2-rZ-End_API2-Level3.apk/file
Still?

I understand you have the Mi Note 10? Do you recommend it?
Video is not laggy? Other bugs?
I have the same issue since i got the phone, it lags in video recording while panning whoever it feels like, i have experienced lag in 1080p 30fps and 60fps and in 4k is worse, i hope xiaomi updates this, btw using the Gcam mod from Urnyx i can record without lags but using only the main camera.
