First of all this board is great! Thank you!!!
I bought two gtablets last week and already modded one with TNTlite 4.4, and the other one still with stock ROM. I was going to give one to my mom.
After I play the same video and compare side by side, I noticed the significant difference in resolutions. Tablet with stock ROM has much better resolution than modded TNT4.4. Did I mess it up when I was modding?
Browser
I did some more testing and it appears to be the issue with browser. I played the same video HD trailer of Captain America on browser youtube vs Youtube App. There is a night and day differences in two.
Youtube App - no pixelation.
Browswer Youtube - tons of pixlations.
Any advices or suggestions?
Any advice before I change my ROM from TNTlite to VEGAN? That pixelation on flash video on browser is driving me nut.
Again, it's no issue with youtube native app, and it's only happening in browser.
Try changing your browser settings to PC instead of android. Might help.

It's already desktop mode if that is what you mean. I even have flash player 10.2.
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.
touch

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.
Alright, I just flashed the latest and greatest Bali kernel to my phone, and noticed that when I take a video with the camcorder at any resolution i get an audio lag on play back in the stock video player and double twist. When I play them on my computer or upload them to Youtube, the lag is gone.
Curiously, I had this problem before I flashed the kernel, but all the videos I had prior to the flashing are now fixed in that respect. The only difference is I can see and hear the difference while the video is recording.
I've seen posts about this for the I9000 as well as other phones, but none for this specific phone, on top of there being virtually no known fix to my knowledge. I would really appreciate any insight on this topic. I know it isn't being caused by the kernel. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
I also get that problem but i think i also noticed that problem with stock...my brother's Vibrant also had that problem on stock.. idk why they have that issue
Well I am going to flash a rom on here tonight and see if that yields any results.

try going into cwm --> advanced --> fix permissions. if not. look into icbnb or the audiophile roms. they have a fix for 1080p recording.
Yea..some roms dont have the audio lag..abd audiophile doesnt have 1080p recording yet

Well I just got around to flashing ICBINB with theme. Still got the problem. Thanks for the tips Jager, but something is still up. :\
On a happier note, I would like to thank everyone who develops on this phone. I couldn't be happier with ICBINB, and the honeycomb theme for that matter. It's just wonderful.
Keep up the good work.

I just said that there wasn't 1080p because someone had said that there was a "fix for 1080p"... didn't mean to say it as rushing you to finish it faster.. thanks for working on it though

No rush Raver.
but alas, double twist has been uninstalled. I even tried a few players from the market to no avail. Thanks though.
I'm am curious to know if this miracle of 1080 on our phones would fix such a problem. I bid you good luck on your endeavors Mr. Raver. As for me, I shall try to dig deeper into this problem.
I was browsing the LG Nitro HD forum this morning and in one of the threads somebody mentioned this app so I checked it out and am digging it so I thought I'd share.
The app is called Camera ICS, according to the developer it's an improved version of the official camera app in ICS.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWljcyJd
Features
- Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...)
- Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices)
- Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra)
- Video bitrate selection (normal/2x)
- Video stabilization on/off (only 4.0)
- 720p face effects (only 4.0)
- Panorama mode and time-lapse video on Honeycomb tablets
It's not a perfect camera app but for some of us it's perfect for our use. Like me. If I want or need something better then I'll bust out my DSLR. I like it and now use it as my daily camera app. I've done very little testing...taken some pics with this app compared to stock app, recorded a quick video with both and here's my opinion so far:
Faster focus
Better video recording
Less time between shots
Fewer options
No full screen viewfinder
Have to double tap pics to view them full screen
But other than that, it's lovely and fits perfectly with my ICS themed phone.
Trying now
Edit: LOVING THiS CAMERA....try it out

Not gonna lie bro....when u said this I tested it on mine and my previous camera app opened (zoomfx). I closed that then opened ics camera, closed that then pressed the camera button again and ics camera opened up. Not sure why but no complaints.
**Edit**
Tested again, stock camera app came up but fc'd and the ics camera immediately came up. I went to manage apps and cleared data for the stock camera app, froze the stock camera app, now its all good.

It does take widescreen pics and video, it just looks like it doesnt when viewed in the gallery. It also has drag to zoom via slider on the screen and u can also use the volume buttons for zoom too.

Yes sir....it doesn't have drag to focus but does have tap to focus....tap the shutter button, it'll focus and take the pic. And it focuses quick too.
I tried this a few weeks ago and thought it was awful. The stock 2.3.6 is much better than ZOOMfx or this ICS one.

Thats the lovely thing about the Market, u have plenty to choose from. We all have different needs/expectations so its nice to have options......I have used stock, CameraZoomFX, Camera360.....I prefer ICS Camera for its faster focus, better quality pics and overall speed. It's also not bloated with a bunch of features I don't need so for me its perfect.

Ah, there it is . And right you are, it focuses very quickly.
I think this could be my default camera. Panoramic mode is flawless, and although it has ads... well, that's why we have a hosts file . There's only one more thing that bothers me - barely any integration with the default gallery. I think that the default gallery is actually quite functional and has a bunch of settings that are lost when using this app.

I was blown away at how fast and acurrate the focus is, very impressive. I ditched the stock gallery long ago, been using QuickPic and absolutely love it....and the recent ICS UI update to it is pretty nice too.

Glad you like 'em. QuickPic is my favorite app of all
QuickPick is indeed great.
I actually think that, while ICS Camera is definitely better than the stock 2.3.4 camera, the improvements with the 2.3.6 camera outdo it. With the stock camera it focuses very quickly especially in low light, and although the theme isn't as pleasant on the eyes it is more configurable. Additionally, the video recording capabilities of ICS Camera are very limited. If you take a video in portrait, it is skewed, stretched, and cropped to be in landscape. Also since I'm on 2.3.6 and I haven't edited my hosts file the camera's ads are pretty annoying.
Just my opinion but I'm sticking with stock.

All very good points. This app isn't for everybody, it all depends what your needs are. For me, it's perfect and is now my daily camera app.
Anyone have this or know where to get it? I love how you can take a picture directly from a video.

When i first saw this commercial i thought hmmm I have been doing this for a couple years now. I just record a video, then pause it where I want the pic, and take a screenshot. I've gotten some amazing action shots using this method. I'm sure their camera app streamlines the process a bit but works the same none the less.

Problem is pausing video typically results in sub standard quality. I'm speaking from typical downloads though, not raw footage.

Plus the fact that a lot of video players leave some form of info on screen, like time bar, video name info, or just a play button in, the middle of the screen showing you can tap to play.
My bad I guess it does leave stuff on the screen with android. I've only been using android for about 6 months now. I was speaking from my years of experience with iOS. I should have tried it before I posted I guess. Worked like a charm on my iPhone with no quality loss.

For me the camera opens then force closes saying gallery has forced closed. It would be an awesome mod if we could get it to work.
