[Q] YouTube full screen...lag?

Is it just me or does the transformer have serious lag when playing high quality YouTube videos full screen? Just got my tablet yesterday and that is really my only complaint so far.
Thanks

yes but not only full screen. I'm getting lag in the smaller window as well

I noticed that there was an update to flash 10.2 yesterday. In the change log it said that hardware acceleration had been added, but requires an upcoming release of Android 3. Hopefully that will cure it.

Same here. I hope they get the video bugs worked out soon. i'm getting annoyed that i cannot watch any HD video in fullscreen.

Same here. Annoying and kind of embarrassing to show it to my friend that has an ipad 2. I hope the HD video will improve as wel.
Edit:
I'm not tying to compete which device is better. I just want to have a device where I can enjoy it.

Does anybody noticed that if you leave the screen untouched for several seconds, when you touch the screen again it won't respond the first touch?

I thought I was the only one, but apparently there are more people with this problem. I have it too in both the smaller and fullscreen window. If you don't touch the device a few seconds it gets better, but there is still at some points a noticeable lag. Very annoying!

Wow just booted youtube and got the same issue. This is not a good look on the mighty transformer.

Is this using Youtube.com or the Youtube app?

Youtube.com is using the flash player, and this will be a bit stuttery - especially for HD videos. But the App should be using h264 encoded video so playback should be 'native'.
I have had some videos be a bit choppy via the app, but most play fine.

the youtube website works fine for me when viewing up to 420p, anything over that is stuttery.

I'm sure Google will announce an update to HoneyComb in the next week during Google IO

I checked the same video on youtube.com and the youtube app. Youtube app displays the video perfectly well in SD, but in HD it gets a slight lag. On youtube.com it plays well on 480p but above that it gets unwatchable.

I get just a slight stutter in the first 5 sec then smooth HD playback for me on youtube. The "HD" is lit up.

i know what you are talking about.
although its not that it wont recognize the first touch, you just have to touch it .5 ms longer and it will respond. I think its either a power saving mechanism or prevent you from accidental touch on the screen.
It bothered me at first but trust me, after about a week you wont either notice it anymore, you simply get used to it.

could you guys check this video out and see if it lag too.

Stutters on full screen, but not smaller. Used Youtube app from main screen. TF 101 32 GB. Full update.

so which is it, hardware or software that is causing it? I'm tempted to go I pad just cause their ui and multimedia is so fluid. I like androids customizability so another alternative is to see how tegra 3 tablets will perform.

No stutter for me opened in YouTube app and browser HQ button illuminated, using Uk tranny with update.

[Q] Question about movie format

I just have a quick question on movie formats and such for phones. As I've been reading for months, the HTC Sensation 4G is supposed to have a screen that is 16:9, which eliminates the need for the "black bars" in movies.
However, I've put two movies on the phone and both of them had the black bars, but played flawlessly. I was just wondering what I was doing wrong. Does the movie have to be a specific format to fit the phone perfectly (without just stretching it out to fit on the video player itself).

Maybe your movie itself has the black bars?

It depends on the aspect ratio of the movie you are watching. Many films are 2.39:1 and so you will have black bars. Some 1.85:1 films will fill the screen depending on how they were issued. All HD TV content is 16:9 and will fill the screen.

I have an issue with playing a movie on the Sensation...
Movie is in Real Media format.
During playback, it was slightly laggy...
Also after playing for a while, it quits itself.
No force close msg or watsoever just out of the movie.
Tried several players still the same.
Movie plays fine on PC and my other phone Incredible S.
Anyone got this problem also or any solution?

Poor up close pictures

Hi all,
Got a slight issue here, not sure if i'm not doing it right but i have tried all kinds of settings and nothing worked.
Anyway, heres what happened...... A butterfly flew into our work and was bugging everyone pretty much all day it eventually landed pretty much right next to me and i wanted to test out the macro on this phone, so i switched to close up and attempted to take a picture but it just came out all blurry, so i changed to different combinations of settings, always getting the same results, it kept focusing past perfection to blurriness??
Either way it was really annoying, I don't actually give a **** about butterflies i just wanted to be able to take a pic up close?
I'm running coredroid at the moment however i believe the camera is the native Sensation one. ??
Any ideas?

I notice that too. It focuses amazingly, and then instantly goes blurry. You have to be a couple of inches away before the macro works.

Is there a decent guide for the sensation camera? I find this to be worse than the desire hd. E.g. if I take a picture of my dog with flash his eyes are always glowing (flash reflection) on the sensation, but never on the desire hd

The camera is good enough for a phone. Buy something dedicated for that kind of work. And never use flash for making pictures, ever.

Poor close up photographs is a general photography issue. Having trouble avoiding blurry photos up close goes for any type of photography when you're taking shots handheld. That said, I just tried the close-up setting on a wireless mouse and a pen, and at about 4 inches away I'm getting clear shots even though I'm in low light right now.

But my point is flash works great on the desire hd and it's shocking on the sensation. That's not how it should be!

You obviously don't know anything about photography. Flash is absolutely needed in cases where there is insufficient lighting. Otherwise the output will lack detail and be noisy. If the direct flash is too intense, you can always use a reflective surface to produce a softer lighting.

Are you using the macro setting for the camera?

View 3d videos taked with 03D on windows midea player

OK I know this is silly but it works......I know if you open a 3d video in WMP or any other video player you get a double screen......well here is how to see ONE video image.......cross your eyes untill you see three solid images then then slowly bring your hands in from the sides until you cover the two outside images ......yes yes I know before anyone tells me to just cover one side of the screen you will see the same thing,,,,I know,,,, but it is fun to see how your brain and eyes work things out sometimes. Because what you are doing is looking at both images and your brain is making them into one your right eye is looking left and your left eye is looking right

You need to get out more ;-)

Try the attached apk (this app only converts mpo and jps files to 3D column-interlaced wallpapers, no logic to enable / disable 3D mode...)
Usage
Homescreen -> Menu -> Wallpaper -> 3D wallpaper
As I don't own a LG phone, I'm not really sure if this is the correct way to select a wallpaper

hj200 i get parsing error, when i try to install that. also o3d gallery app can automatically change pics into 3d, its just when you try to set it, it automatically turns 3d off

Well I guess that's a memory problem... Anyway, first you'll need a patch to enable the 3D at the Homescreen, then I'll look into it
(e.g. when the o3d can display row-interlaced or column-interlaced wallpapers as 3D). To test this, check out StereoPhoto Maker

The O3D does column interlaced, and SBS/Half-SBS for photos natively in LANDSCAPE ONLY. This 3D background you're trying, WILL NOT DISPLAY IN ANYTHING BUT LANDSCAPE MODE. The screen's lentil separation technique is built into the actual display itself and only works Landscape as the lentils to separate the 2 images are horizontal (<-->) when you have the screen portrait (normal phone usage) and correctly vertical ( | to separate left/right images) when in Landscape. You will NEVER get a full 3D display with the phone in portrait, only landscape. As discussed before this is a physical limitation of the phone in the design of the screen. Think 3DS, you can't see the 3D effects if you turn the 3DS 90 degrees because the lentil separation is vertical, NOT horizontal across the screen, and there is no method or app that can change this. It's PHYSICAL.
The only reason I go around and rage in threads like this is because people come here with this wonderful phone with unrealistic expectations because they have not educated themselves on the actual limitations. Every device has a limitation somewhere, and you need to do some research into finding out where it is, so when you run across it, you're not coming back to us going "this phone sucks, it can't do blah blah blah", we tell you it just can't be done, save everyone's time, and your humility.

No need to be like this.Developer of this app don't have O3D, he have HTC EVO 3D and we just asked him if he could port this to our device.
O3D is great and nobody here is hating on this device.Just Chill or something.And btw, thx for your info.

Simple reading will tell you that LG was retarded and forgot to add the ability for 3D in both landscape and portrait mode.
Who does that?! xD

if phones parallax barier could do 3D in portrait you would see it in 3D just in very crapy quality.. and for your eye theory when you turn head in 90° you dont see in 3D? Better visit a doctor.

Well mate..you're right.But you have the greatest, latest and most powerful tech that allows you to see 3D as you said: brain and eyes and millions of years of perpetual perfection...But in this case, phone, the barrier parallax (or whatever is called) is in landscape.Yes, could be in portrait but I think it should have another barrier to do 3D in portrait.

I was talking about "ability" of having ICS.I was going litle off topic with that one.
The point is, Evo 3D users can have 3D wallpapers with this app.We can't and i now why.I just still wanted to now if something can be done aka the act of a desperate one.
