I'm on CM7.1 #39 for NexusS 4G with Netarchy's 1.3.5 cfs and every time I initiate a GTalk video chat of Skype both videos come in for about 5 seconds and then everything freezes for about 5 more seconds and the device reboots. Has anyone solved the issue?
Update:
I just tried lowering the frequency from 1400Mhz to 1300Mhz and it worked stable. I'm not undervolted and 1450mV seems to work fine for the 1400Mhz for everything but gtalk video and Skype 2.0. I bumped it up slowly to 1500mV and still not able to have it running and not freeze and reboot the phone. Oh well, I guess I'll have to lower it to 1300Mhz to video chat. Governor setting played no effect. All but 1400Mhz worked. Maybe I'll try the new 1.3.6 netarchy's.
I think it has to do with both shooting video and viewing video which takes so much out of the processor. Kind of a good way to test your undervolting stability.
Bump. Anyone?

There is a modified gapps from I think may.... Flash that and it should work.... Its in the same area where you download the regular gapps just search for it

You mean gtalk2?

Got it solved. See op.
I actually got it narrowed down to temperature which is often too high and the phone reboots when using such demanding apps like gtalk or Skype with video. To help solve that I put some profiles in SetCPU and lowered speed based on temperature. Works just fine now.

Is anyone using this service through google and having issues? I've had it running on Wildhero and AOSP GB roms for the past week or so, and it seems glitchy at best random pauses even though the songs seem to be fully buffered. Service issue or my little hero doing the best it can issue?
Just started using it and its working good for me. All my music streams fine. Have you checked to make sure your kernel isn't clocked too low? 352 usually is the lowest to run music smoothly

Good call, I'll try that and see if it improves the performance.
This may be a more general issue affecting other android phones as well but for a long time now I've had issues playing mp4 format videos. The sound is perfect but the video plays back abominable slow so they are completely out of sync. I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has any ideas on this. I've tried multiple players including rockplayer, moboplayer, stock player, vplayer and many others and I just can't get them to play right. All other formats play without any issues.. flv ..mov ..avi ..xvid..mkv.. all are great.. just not mp4. Please if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate a hand with this...thanx!

im not sure if its just because of the hardware on the Thunderbolt but I have the same issues aswell. my workaround is overclocking as well as using good apps like MX Video Player & if you are playing 720P videos check out Dice Player.
Appreciate the response. I'll try out those players as well. What are you overclocking to? I'm usually at about 368 low end and 1.2 high end I think right now using the bamf tools to do it on bamf forever cubed rom.

regardless of the rom, I always set low to 245 and high about 1.2 if its an aosp rom and 1.4 if its sense based. I don't like to go much higher as I've had my battery get very hot and battery life goes down a bit also.

I can't go below 368 on mine or phone will do random shutdowns. I try to use my phone and it was powered off. As soon as I moved it back to 368 never happened again.

Bamf forever cubed settings won't allow me to overclock past 1ghz or very close.. going to look again... Are either of you using setcpu or some other app to overclock?

i use setcpu for all roms(even if they come with bamf settings, cyanogen settings, etc). if it's not letting you go past 1ghz then you'll have to install a kernal that will. i was recently using that bamf soab rom and they had an imogean(sp?) kernal for it in the same thread. you can either check bamf's thread for a specific kernal they recommend or check here on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249328
Eh just checked setcpu and it does the same... Neither are allowing me to go past 1024000 and minimum is 245768. Not being allowed to clock it past up to 1.4 which is weird because I know I've done so on past Roms.. maybe it's just this rom? I'm using Bamf Forever Cubed with the stock kernel it came with. Any suggestions on why I'm being locked down to a top end overclock of 1024000?..
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Sorry just posted my response as you responded.. yeah I have the 3 optional variations of the Imoseyen kernel that works with his rom.. it was a stock, learn and 368 something... Maybe I'll switch and try them out instead...kinda odd being locked down to 1024000 when the phone can handle up to 1.4..

You are wasting your (cpu) time if you are playing anything more than 480p on it. In landscape mode you only have 480 pixels vertically, so playing a higher rez movie means you are making it scale on the fly and probably dealing with a higher bitrate on the source file as well.

personally, I download a lot of shows with my phone and watch them on the phone. Lots of times(especially lately) I will find stuff only available in 720P.
why no tv?... well, when you drive limos you can't always just go back home in between jobs & I don't want to get a big ol' inverter and bring my laptop.
Interesting. I convert a lot of dvds to mp4 format to watch on my phone and have never had any playback issues. Phone running the latest leak, rooted and debloated of coarse. Unfortunately, the AOSP roms don't have nfl network.
I also use system panel to kill all running tasks before playing any videos. All videos are played on Vplayer and I doubt any of them are 720p. Seems like overkill to me.

Hi,
I just installed the latest update of Valhalla Black Rc2, and before i complain i feel i must say that this ROM is fantastic in just about every way. Smooth, Fast, Simple, Conservative. Well done and much thanks to RaverX3X and Company. My issue just came up with this latest install. No matter the media player i use, my Audio Playback is very choppy. This issue reared its ugly head immediately after flash, and was never an issue with previously flashed ROMs. To ensure i didn't have a bad SD card, i put another one in to test and the issue still remains. What confuses me is that my Video Playback is perfect. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!

Raver didn't post it in the OP, but yes, it's caused by the EQ. Just disable the EQ itself, but you can leave the other settings enabled to fix this.
Thanks. BTW, if anybody feels they cant live without an EQ, the Market App "Equalizer" works well enough as long as you don't go too crazy with the settings.
Mine has no issues
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i can use any of the provided effects with the exception of the EQ and it works great. But the instant i enable and modify the EQ settings, here comes the choppiness. Any idea where this comes from? Its funny, it sort of reminds me of the same issue that i had with my Acer Iconia A500. If i recall, that stemmed from a memory leak issue and was mostly resolved upon OTA Updates.
you can use the eq leave loudness compensation off
Your right. However i have to disable all the other affects as well if i wish to use the EQ. Thanks for the ROM Raver!!! Better than good enough to be a daily driver.
How can I overclock my sensation higher than 1782 without it shutting the phone off.what's the secret behind it.I would like to run some benchmark test at like 1836 plus if at all possible.any help would be greatly appreciate it.

Not every phone can do it. It really doesn't benefit either.
I just want to push it for all it has to just see what this phone can do is all.I don't plan on keeping it at this for along period of time.

like sshede said, not all phones are made the same. some phones can handle higher OC speeds like 1800-1900mhz, but some can only handle maybe 1500mhz. it all depends....BTW, you should be happy with 1782mhz because if not for a custom kernel, you would be stuck at 1200mhz

well, mine could go to 1.89 without any reboot issue while benchmarking.. but the heat is intolerable
Currently I'm running Tweaked 2.2, EXT4, and 5/24 PBJ kernel. I'm generally not overclocking, but I've also tried 1.2Ghz.
Video playback on webpages very choppy and unwatchable (I've tried stock browser, skyfire, firefox, boat, opera,etc, etc) . Video's on YouTube play great.
Is it a lack of memory problem? Is everyone seeing the same thing?
Is it with Flash or a mobile stream? I found that Flash usually requires a higher clock speed to play videos efficiently. Have you tried a higher clock speed? What governor are you usong?

Flash videos play just fine for me. Smooth as butter.
Stock kernel, stock clocks, dolphin browser, cache to SD card (very important).

It an option of dolfin browser. It didn't help my choppy video issue.

The newer (may releases) PBJ kernels never did work quite right for me. At least in my case, the cache to SD option in dolphin was the difference between smooth and not so smooth. But again, stock kernel, stock clocks.
It really depends if it was optimized for mobile or not. Some Flash content (e.g. Starcraft streams from TeamLiquid) will run very choppy with a painful frame rate (on full screen Flash sometimes complains of "not optimized" ) while other videos (you know what I'm talking about ) will run smoothly because they were "optimized".

Exactly. I am in video n we usually make videos for specific platforms, i.e. web, mobile, broadcast, dvd. They all have dif bitrates, sizes, etc.

To give an example. Is there anyone who can play this video smoothly?

Nope, it even said not optimised for mobile.

While i think you're asking a lot out of your hardware by attempting to play a 720p video at such a high bitrate considering the overhead that flash imposes, it got significantly better once the entire video downloaded. Still a relative slideshow for me though. A single 1.0-1.3 ghz processor isn't gonna cut it for a video of that quality without some kind of gpu hardware acceleration somehow. That video will never be completely smooth on this phone.
And when i said flash videos play fine, i clearly meant those that are optimized for mobile. I have realistic expectations for this hardware.
