Ok ive had to purchase this app THREE times so I have some experience with it (iPhone,iPad,and Android). My issue is..constant freezing, no matter what channel (HD and regular) or what settings (Standard or High quality). I have more then enough dl speeds etc for it to work flawlessly, but on 3G,LTE and WiFi, it freezes within 20 seconds of starting up. I have reconfigured my router for manual setup according to the video guide again but it still wont play in a usable manner unless I like looking at the static picture with voices in the background lol.
Anyone else use this app that has it running fluidly?
When I had my Thunderbolt, it didn't matter what I was using (3G,LTE, Wifi), the picture would always stutter about and freeze up for a good while, maybe sometimes even up to two minutes when I started using it.. After those initial stutters and freeze ups, though, it would always play without a hitch..
I know it doesn't really help, but just my experience with it.
ugh yeah mines consistant. Even over WiFi it freezes so its frustrating
Hmm, the only things I can really think of would be:
New ethernet cord between the router and the slingbox?
New cable cord (Probably not, but hey it could work)
orrrr.....
maybe the cords from the slingbox to the cable/dish receiver are bad?
I had the issue too and I found the problem was in the slingbox itself. A capacitor had gone bad and I had to swap it out. Look for a bulging capacitor. Here is a good guide:

Hi, everyone.
I searched for this and didn't find anything, but it's a little hard to know what to search for.
I use WunderRadio to listen to Internet radio. A few weeks ago, the Video Out (TV Out) screen started popping up at random times, usually when I was tapping something on the menu or on the screen. When it did, it was almost impossible to close and it really messed up my listening.
Some days it wasn't too bad. Sometimes, when it got really frustrating, a soft reset would stop it temporarily (or at least slow it down). When it was at its worst, though, nothing helped, and it was impossible to listen to WunderRadio.
It wasn't only in WunderRadio that this would happen--it would pop up occasionally in other applications, as well. But it was the most frustrating by far in WunderRadio.
I recently did a hard reset, so I only had a few applications installed. I first assumed that this was being caused by WunderRadio, so I uninstalled it. I still kept seeing that Video Out screen.
I selectively uninstalled applications and thought a couple of times that I had identified a program that was causing the problem. However, it kept coming back, seemingly regardless of what was installed or uninstalled.
A few days ago, this stopped happening. I haven't seen the Video Out screen a single time. I don't know if it has fixed itself (I doubt it) or whether it will suddenly reappear.
At this point, it seems like this could be due to faulty software, firmware, or hardware.
In July, I had a similar thing going on. I don't know if it was related to this or if this is just a coincidence. The phone all of sudden decided that it wanted to redial the last number called--over and over again! I would think I had it stopped, put the phone in my pocket, and get a call from a contact asking if I had called them. No, I hadn't, but my phone had!
As with the Video Out problem, sometimes a soft reset would help. Often, however, I ended up just having to turn the phone off for a few hours, then cross my fingers and try again.
With both of these problem, I was hesitant to send the phone in for warranty repair, because they were both so unpredictable that the repair shop would probably be unable to make either of these symptoms appear. My fears have since been borne out by the fact that both problems seem to have been solved--at least semi-permanently.
On the other hand, either or both of these problems could come back at any time!
Can anyone tell me what's going on here and what I can do about it?
Thanks in advance!
Are you using a wired headset? Maybe the pins are a little off and acting like the tvout cable USB pins and that's triggering it.
You should try to think if there is any correlation between a wire headset and this activity.
Also, do you actually use TV-out? You can just disable it entirely by a registry tweak so it won't be able to popup if that helps.
If you need anything further feel free to PM me since it's unlikely I'll find this post again
Good point! Yes, I am using a wired headset--most often when I'm listening to WunderRadio--which would explain why it happens most often when I'm listening.
I switched from headphones to earphones the other day, and that could very well be the reason it's no longer happening.
It's either the headphones or your USB port that's bad. But since you've said the problem has went away with new headphones, I'd say it's those. But it's a guaranteed hardware issue, although not necessarily the phone.
I had the same problem - TP would switch to TV Out mode randomly when mini usb was used (either charge or headphones). Mine needed a new usb socket, although I think theyyyyy jutssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst swap the whole board. And I know it's off topic but can someone point me in the right direction to sort out my keyboard problem above?!

hehe does your keyboard repeat too quick? Settings - Personal - Buttons and reduce the repeat rates on 'up/down control'...on and stop eating so much candy while playing with your phone
Love this tablet but this last few days it has started to get really warm on occasion.
On the left side, about an inch in from the SD card slot, the temperature really builds up quickly starting first on the back of the device and eventually getting so hot on the glass it becomes uncomfortable to hold and to swipe. I've seen 48 degrees!
I have noticed this happening when using Dolphin HD browser and particularly if Skype is running in the background.
I wiped the tab, didn't reinstall from market and just loaded Dolphin and it didn't make any difference.
I'm guessing faulty device since there are only a few isolated reports of this online.

Really strange, Phil. Based on your recommendation in "other" forums I turned in my Nook Tab and got a GTab7Plus and I'm just lovin it. Does everything I'd hoped it would do and more I haven't even figured out. So far, (knock on wood) I haven't gotten the Screen of Death nor has the unit gotten hot for any reason and I'm using dolphin browser exclusively. So......you may have a defective unit. Good luck.
Yeah, I think it was faulty. I took it back to Best Buy and they had not had any other returns for this issue.
Unfortunately they are also out of stock so I don't currently have a tablet at all! Seeing what is coming down the pike in the way of tablets I might just wait and see what transpires in the next 3 months. If I get antsy then I'll just pick up another GT7+ (or back to a Nook Tablet if the CM9 project advances quickly).
Also, do you see a color cast on yours at all? I noticed that when there was a white background, for instance reading a book on Kindle or Nook apps, the right lower side of the page had a warm tinge - pink/peach colored. It was quite irritating.

FloridaPhil:
I have received my 7+ and downloaded and installed the Nook and Kindle apps without a hitch. The Kindle books are fine but I seem to be having a problem opening my Nook books. Darn, I am in the midst of a great book and hate reading on my phone.
Any tips on how best to install and manage my Nook ebooks? And, I have a 32gb sd card which I haven't installed but plan to tonight. Will that make a difference? Should I "format" the card before installing on the 7+? How does that work?
Thanks a bunch!
I noticed on the nook software that I needed to open the software and then reopen it before the book would load. Second time is a charm I guess.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Mine as well, in the same location as you specified too. Gets damn hot in that location with I'm using it in the car for navigating with Google Maps and it's plugged into the charger. Also in the same scenario the charge level is still going down and not up
I' ve been using VTL Launcher and had some previous issues with my home wifi (couldn't reconnect so my tab was always trying to find it again and again). After resetting router and mainly uninstalling VTL Launcher my tab stopped to be hot and battery life increased rapidly. So I was almost decided tonreturn it due to this problems but since then everything is finally ok and start to enjoy this tab (previously had GT7 original and Note).
Regarding navigation with google maps- consider that there is also huge use of data amount so warmness is probable. I'm using Sygis Aura and has no problems with hottness and also not original car charger has enough power to charge on the roads.
So far haven't noticed the tab getting hot. Just trying to figure out how to use Kies. What a friggin nightmare! Why have they not simplified the Kies interface? It is so convoluted!

Interesting - but mine was totally stock. Yeah, I had added a ton of apps but it was running regular TouchWizz. My little Nook Color running CM7 has exactly the same apps and doesn't even get warm.
what are you using kies for? my computer (win 7) didn't recognize my tab until
i installed kies, it also installed drivers so i can now transfer files
To FloridaPhil: And how long is your battery life? Is wifi ok? Well I' ve noticed then, that our tab doesn't have still very apropriate task managing and this can be causeb exactly by this. Take a look in settings, applications and battery use...I couldn't believa my eyes but even I'm using good task manager with automatic shutndowns of slected apps, there are still huge amount of running apps that drain battery and may cause getting hot. Next thing as well was a fact, that even when wifi connection held perfectly, there was still word 'searching' each couple of seconds (take a look in wifinsettings...)- so next possible reason for getting warm...

It's only searching because your at the wifi settings screen. If you are at the screen where different wifi networks can be selected, android (logically) thinks you might want to select a different network, so scans. If you STAY on that screen, it assumes you want to keep scanning (why else would you stay on that screen?)
This is something that all wifi enabled android devices do. It's NOT scanning every few seconds if you aren't on that specific settings screen...
Gary
Thanks Gary for reasonable explanation, yes this is logical. I was just confused from this, cause not Galaxy Note, nor previous Tab or Streak was behaving like this. But is true that this is my first honeycomb machine and I may not realise this before or it had been different in settings.

My Galaxy SII (gingerbread, AT&T, SGH-I777) does this as well. Even my iPhone does it.
I'm using Kies Air to wirelessly transfer and synch my contacts, calendar, etc....... Experimented and have transferred photos and some other files. Also worked using the USB cable and my Windows 7 recognized and installed drivers. It recognized the SD card as my E drive.
Regarding the heating up issue, so far I have not experienced this. The battery use is under control when I turn off all wireless when I leave my home.
Getting used to the Touchwiz interface but I also installed Go Launcher EX and use that sometimes.
Video playback is awesome on this little tab; last night I was watching movie trailers and was surprised with the sound as well. The Nook's sound was always a bit weak.
I installed an anti-glare screen film and it is awesome for reading. Doesn't detract from the beautiful display and the fonts are crisp.
Regarding opening my Nook books I realized that it worked as soon as I installed my SD card and I downloaded my books so I wouldn't have to deal with having a wireless connection to read my books.
Playing around with the wallpapers and customizing the Samsung screens and installed a super cool "steam punk skull" live wallpaper and it is amazing! Found it free via the Amazon app store....it is fantastic! I also found other beautiful live wallpapers via the Amazon app store including snow scenes.
The tab connected flawlessly to my Samsung Galaxy 4G T-Mobile phone's access point and used that to stream Pandora and download some Kindle books. It was done in my office which doesn't have the best T-Mobile network access and it was surprisingly fast and smooth. No stuttering of the music and emails and Facebook worked great.
I ordered the 6' long usb cable for the tab via Amazon and it has shipped; hopefully it is well matched and charges up the tab just as well as the stock 3' shortie cable. I noted other comments regarding the slow charging of the tab and found that turning off the wifi or simply shutting it down speeds up the charging dramatically.
So that is my report so far and let me say I am enjoying the 7+ tab immensely.
It got to 40C (104F) today while I was playing GTA. The device it's naked (no covers or anything). I'm going to take it to service centre next week :-(

Well i guess thats pretty normal, mine goes up to 42C sometimes.. I guess it depends on your surrounding and climate.
You sure it's a normal thing (this temperature range)? I'm here in Thailand so the ambient temperature is hot to begin with, but the thing is; with prolonged used my hands get uncomfortable.

Just told my wife, she said her galaxy s2 gets hot as well, so I asked her to touch mine ;-)
She says it's about the same. So i really don't know what to think any more, but I'll take it in anyways just for peace of mind.
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!
Didnt see much in the way of these 2 issues I am seeing. Figured I would ask.
1. Using HDMI out in my hotel room with an Amazon basics cable and LG TV. About 50% of the time there is random graininess and what looks like static. Generally I have to reboot tablet until it goes away. Don't have another cable to test but in the past Amazon cables have been reliable. This is generally when using KODI if that matters but I'm almost certain I've seen it in other apps as well.
2. At random times when both plugged and unplugged I can tap the display to bring up the softkeys, but cannot touch them. I do have a glass SP installed but never really had issues. This seems to be more recent. I hate to take off the SP to find out the issue is still there. Other times there is no issue and everything works fine. I installed screen touch app to test but generally don't see the issue when I have it running.
Any info on either of these is appreciated. As of now no longer rooted, completely stock (since taking MM OTA after going back to stock). I will send it in if needed, but figured I would ask. Thanks.
My Nokia 7 PLUS was bought mainly as a backup phone and to experience pure Android without paying an insane amount for a Pixel. I like my new Nokia but there are so many positive reviews out there that tell you why this is a good purchase, so I'll try to mention the weird stuff I've experienced. This phone has been my daily driver for 2 months now.
First and foremost the quick charging issues that I have another topic going about, so I'll skip this part.
Wi-fi disconnecting and giving me a notification sound. I don't know if I'm just being a noob here, but getting "ghost" notifications throughout the day has been a bit bothersome. At first I didn't know what was going on, I was seemingly getting notification sounds without there being any updates for me in any apps. But the other day just as I unlocked the phone I got the sound and saw the wifi being disconnected for a splitsecond. I don't know how I turn off wifi sound notifications without impacting other more important sounds so I guess I'll just have to live with this. But it's still annoying to get this sound if the wifi DC's for half a second.
Rubber around the edges of the screen coming loose. I got the bronze coloured model and if you look just at the edge of the screen there's a millimeter thick bronze frame, and between that frame and the screen some sort of black rubber or adhesive is starting to come loose. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago and I thought it was a hair that had become stuck and as I started pulling about 5 cm of black rubber came loose along the screen. I think the rubber casing that was with the phone is the culprit, because when your phone is in your jeans for several hours a day the "case" seems to dig just at the edge of the screen which could cause this. The rubber that has come loose was not visible before and it's not visible that it was been removed either.
Google Assistant opening seemingly randomly. I have two phones on my computer table just to the left of me, both with Android Nougat installed and Assistant enabled. Sometimes I sit in complete silence and play PC games, only with audible key clicks and Google Assistant will open on my Nokia 7, yet it has never happened on my other phone (Galaxy s8+). It's spooky in more ways than one.
The 3.5mm jack port is behaving weirdly. I've tried with 3 different headphones and it's always the same. I need to push, pull and turn before the headphones get properly connected and still then they can get disconnected at any moment. You can probably imagine how much of a nuisance that is if people around you don't agree with your musical taste. (hint: train rides.)
This may seem like a long list but my overall impression is still largely positive, especially when it comes to lack of bloatware, duplicate apps and the battery life is outstanding.
The headphone thing I find as well but I have a carbon fibre case on my 7+ and this is what causes it as if I remove the case the problem does not manifest. The other things you mention I have never had. I have the TA-1055 UK version since its release.

I really don't recognize any of your complaints. I can't type a long search query in the adressbar in Lightning, but that's about it. Maybe you should RTM your device.
The ghost notification sounds annoys me as well.
My headphone jack works fine.
Issues I have:
Ui stutter/lag compared to other phones.
Phone showing as uncertified in google play store.
Not getting android updates (still on may patch).
Battery not as good as expected for the battery size the phone has.
Don't experience any of the above issues here. Fully reset you phone or RMA.

my problem so far (40days ) is that GPS signal keeps dropping when i navigate with google maps while 3g or 4g internet is on , 2g is fine though .
also smal stutters when switching or minimizing apps , its strange that they couldnt fix it yet as i knew of it months before i bought the phone

Thanks, did the first part and saw an improvement, but will this impact battery life? Because I will gladly keep the stutters if I lose my almost 2 days bat life
About a week since I have received the phone.
The mobile connection is usually 4g+ to 4g. depending on where I am I guess. However, I have noticed that on phone calls, the icon changes to hspa+
I don't notice any speed change but I'm guessing this is related to no support for VoLTE?
Also, I notice that from wifi to mobile transition occurs very sluggishly. Sometimes on banking applications the wifi doesn't work which is odd, but it doesn't connect to mobile on the fly either. Usually I have to turn off the wifi for it to work.
I've also had some weird experiences with my N7 plus.
1. Headphones do not work randomly. When this happens only the speakers work the ear piece on the phone doesn't work as well. Phone needs to be rebooted to fix this.
2. Some apps, such as Prime music and Quora, do not work when connected to the TP link ADSL router aty home. The iOS versions of the same apps work from the same router. Apps on the Nokia start working only when I connect to mobile data or office WiFi.

Volte is a mess on Android. In the UK it mostly only works on iphones or Android devices bought directly from the network who modify the firmware.
That said I'm on BT Mobile in the UK (uses EE network) and Volte and wifi calling work well based upon my experience so far using Oreo 8 with July updates.
Since the day I started playing PUBG, the call speaker is acting quite weird. Many times when I get a call, the speaker will be automatically turned on, but it doesn't show that. I have to turn it on and back off to hear it from the earpiece. It mostly happens when I'm in a game. But it has happened other times as well. I don't know if it is a problem on just my phone or android in general. Anybody have any fix for this?
