That's disappointing..
YouTube app is much smoother, but it seems to pause a lot for buffering. So what's worse, pauses for buffering or choppy playback and missed frames?

same here on the FIOS which makes me wonder how much of the choppy/buffering problems are based on wifi speed/strength.
So looks like the HD playback in the App is no longer choppy, I think it's good enough for me. Hope there is a fix for the x264 playback, but I guess I am asking for too much.
Just getting a chance to test this.

Youtube app in HD mode , no stutter or buffering
Youtube web site @ 720, slow framerate 10-15FPS
Can anyone tell me where on the app you can select the multiple resolutions that you see in the browser window. I don't know if I was watching the 720 or the 1080.

What's the issue with FIOS? I thought it was crazy high speed. Is it high latency or something?

i meant that perhaps signal strength and speed is probably whats giving people issues while streaming.
say for instance, if theyre trying to stream videos off a motel 6 wifi vs their own home service
what I meant was I have fios and no buffering issues which leads me to believe the person with buffering issues has a **** connection.

I've noticed the buffering to be an issue with both 3.0.1 & 3.1. Not sure what the cause is, I don't think it's my network as it'll be stuck buffering one moment, then the next moment it has no issues.
My network is 20mbs and runs super fast with everything else...

I've seen this happen on my TF and on desktop and phone. It's an issue with youtube I think. Sometimes the intertubes get full. Reloading or waiting out the congestion is the only thing to do.
Also, no stuttering or lag of any kind on my TF as of 3.1. This puppy finally runs like it should.
I recently upgraded the latest (3.1) version and the Youtube's HD videos works smoothly. Not any jerks or continuous loading.
Has anyone noticed on the Youtube app that full screen orients only one way (with the Asus logo on top left). Even if I have the screen turned with the Asus logo on the bottom right, as soon as I hit the full screen, it will show upside down. This is with the Youtube app.
Hey guys,
Just wanted to ask if anyone else has this issue where you get this strange ticking sound during playback of a video you've recorded. Anyone know if there's some specific setting I'm supposed to turn on/off to make it go away? It's bugging the hell out of me.
I've noticed, however, that if I turn the WiFi off the ticking sound goes away. So I guess that's my fix for now.

FOCUS
The noise comes from the lense trying to focus on the new view when you move the phone. It has nothing to do with the Wi-Fi. Probably you were moving less while on Wi-Fi.
The bad thing is that this noise is even recorded pretty loudly in the video. This is a very good question as this could become a major issue with this phone.
I haven't experimented a lot with mine yet to determine how to avoid this issue. I would try to not to make jerk movements while in video mode to see if the lens will move smoothly and will not make any noise.
There are $900+ camcorders that do poor sales due to some similar problems. Noisy cooling fan etc. I really hope HTC did not overlook this issue.
Let us know if you do any of the above siggested experiments and if you still have the noise.
Thanks
Hi,
I tried doing what you suggested and it didn't help that I was holding the phone very still when shooting a video. The ticking sound is still there. But as soon as I turn the WiFi off it goes away.
Could it be some kind of interference problem?

I have clicking with our without wi fi. And the noise comes in the exact moment I move the camera and lens trying to re-focus. It might have to do something with the settings /hopefully...

I've taking some shots this morning. You can see them here.
https://plus.google.com/photos/103301980711680643903/albums/5743383661197044881
Let me know what you think.
Thank you for sharing these videos.
I imagined the sound be much worse based on the comments but it's not that bad. Still annoying though and should be fixed. Especially for those recording more silent videos (like me).
OK these are two different things. The noise that I am referring to is video #1 00:06 the noise from the lens. And since your are not doing long short distance it only clicks once thru the video.
I agree that you have ticking sound and might be some interference with the WiFi unique to your apartment etc.
However, there is another noise source, that every phone has but people are not aware of it yet. The noise from the lens focusing which is much louder than the ticking noise in your video
video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q6HWTHu2Aw&feature=youtu.be
I didn't really notice the sound resulting from the lens focusing, but I'll check again. And I'll test recording some videos while connected to the WiFi at work. Like you said, it could just be an interference problem with my home WiFi.
Just a quick update,
I recorded a short video at work, while connected to the office WiFi. No change. The ticking sound was still there. So I'm guessing there's something wrong with the camera module that makes it susceptible to WiFi interference.
I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

I'm having the same issue with my HTC One X. Wifi on = noise in recordings.
With the new blackout rc3 the problem is solved for me

Hey,
Absolutely love the phone however when used with my cars Bluetooth the audio gets to about 2 mins in and stutters for 10 seconds then another 2 mins and it happens again and again every two mins.
Previously I have had an lg and Samsung that worked without a problem.
I have googled and apparently it's a CM problem. I have tried some of the suggestions like disabling Wi-Fi but the problem persists.
Anyone know a solution or maybe a different custom rom that has a different Bluetooth set up?
This occurs sometimes when I'm playing podcasts. I'll usually pause the podcast, wait 30 seconds, then play. That usually gives me smooth play throughout the rest of use. Not sure if this will help you or if it's even just coincidence, but good luck mate.
Yeah I've tried that and no go. Don't know what to do.
Does the also happen if you leave the screen on constantly?

Yes makes no difference.
Pretty much every since the most recent update, every time I restart my Shield it makes a popping noise. This only happens when it has to play a sound for the first time since its unlock weather it be the sound for unlock or music. Is this a known issue, or am I SOL?
not 100% sure if my issue relates to yours but every so often (twice today so far) my tablet gives off a loud well.. not exactly a pop but its a loud distorted noise that lasts only a fraction of a second. (and its loud!. no matter what volume the tablet is on so scares the bejesus outa me when it happens). sometimes accompanied by a very quick 1 frame graphical hiccup if in games or apps.
has me a bit thrown off and a little worried.
ill keep an eye on it and if it keeps happening ill report back so see if there's any consistency with it.
does this sound similar to what you are getting?
I get this too, but its while playing an app game, like CoC.
Same problem

I still get it after many factory resets and the update to lollipop.
Thanks
I appreciate your response. That is discouraging news.
Me too. Felt like it was gonna blow my ears it a couple times. I was using earphones and the pop is very very loud, no matter what volume the tablet is set on.

So i'll be casully playing Modern Combat 5 with my controller when suddenly this weird screeching type noise will come out of the speakers, it lasts for a second then stops although one time it seemed to just keep doing it over and over. It's not part of the game for sure and although I have the increased volume mod this was happening even before i rooted. Anyone else getting this?

Hi.
Also got this when playing Asphalt 8. Its only sometimes when the game is loading.
And its not the same as the static scream that occurs on custom roms like Pac Man.
Thanks

So it seems to be only with Gameloft games?
Hi, bought the tablet last week, noticed some kind of slight buzzing noise coming from the speakers when playing games. Even when I put the sound off.
It's like the CPU is working and you get interference from the speakers.
Spoke with NVIDIA customer service and they suggested trying connecting headphones to test. Did so, and although from the headphones the sound was fine, the speakers still had this slight noise.
Anyone else experiencing similar thing?

Were you plugged in charging the device? To my understanding sometimes that causes the slight buzz.

I think it's a sound driver issue. I've had it happen on other devices when trying to use Viper4Android. I am hoping they address it in the lollipop update.

No, so far I have only used the tablet while discharging. It's very strange how much it varies sometimes; when I played Skylanders (free) it was quite intense. With other games it's not very noticable

I just returned my for a refund due to static popping when using a headset. even with the volume muted i heard he sound. called Nvidia and they are aware that some devices have that defect. I decided to wait and try the nexus 9 if i don't like It I will try the shield again.

Im gettingnthe same thing in Youtube, I hope they fix it.
Same here.
Heard the screach/buzz sound first time when playing Zombie Driver (tablet even turned off afterwards) then later several times in YouTube.
Looks like HW problem to me.
I get a screech of sorts every now and then, even outside of apps, when system sounds and notifications are triggered. Like a lot of other things on the tablet, it might be a hardware issue, but it might be software- I know that I didn't get any before the recent OTA.
When I touch my display I get some static noise on the side speakers, sounds are similar to a hard drive writing, its rather quiet but you can hear it and it sure is annoying!

Same thing happens to me, but i can only hear it in a dead quiet room. I find it tends to mostly go away if you put the power settings in 'battery saver'. My guess would it be some kind of interference from the proc and the audio processor when all the cores are running... not sure if it is just a general hardware thing or perhaps something that can be fixed in the audio driver.
I just had a similar issue, although mine was while playing Hearthstone and was insanely loud! It sounded like a fire drill, and I'm not exaggerating. It wouldn't stop either, like it has in the past, and I had to force shut down the tablet. I'm kind of wishing I would have waited a little longer to buy or waited for the next version to come out. I contacted Nvidia support and they basically gave me the run-around and all they said was that I should send them a video! Seriously??? Like I had the forethought to take a video while my tablet was screaming at me. I guess that's how much Nvidia cares, and I'll be sure to have my camera ready for the next time the SHIELD goes into fire drill mode.

How could they understand what happens if your device freezes when it outputs this sound or gives no usable log to diagnose it, and if you cannot reproduce it easily ? the video request is not so silly... Do you have experienced this just once ?

Well a video is not going to help them any more either now is it? That won't produce logs or outputs, unless you know something i don't. What they should have done is let me ship it back to them, send Me a replacement and run their own diagnostics on it to understand it better... That's what Amazon would do, and this is why they are not selling better. Make sense?
At least if they have a video they will have a clue if they know this issue, if your tablet freezes or not, and try to reproduce it (they won't try for a month to test a game, when maybe there is a software bug on a certain level in it, or whatever else, and maybe this is not hardware related). Nvidia is not responsible for OS instability. At least with a video they'll know it's not a random "one time" crash.
If it was my tablet, I would do a backup, factory reset, install just this one game, and see if there's still a problem.
Of course you can try to convince them to RMA your device, it's not your task to repair it. Good luck.
I had this happen to me yesterday(and couple times before too). Woke the tablet up after about 10 hrs or so and it was dead slow. I tap on something and it takes about 5 seconds for the tablet to register the touch and launch the app. It was during this time that the screeching noise came. And it happened a couple of times as I tried to get this thing to respond to my touches.
Finally had to restart it and it was back to being the zippy tablet that its supposed to be
About the video, i think thats a great idea, since that will at least give an idea about the sound. I dont know how to explain the sound either. Its like a metallic grinding noise, which is pretty scary because I feel like the fricking tablet is about to explode or something.
noise is going up and down, but always there
Same problem here.. Buzzing from booth speakers and at the back of the tablet. Weird thing is I can't open the faceworks app.. Gives me shader erroror something. Something wrong with GPU? Or is it lollipop update that has screwed with the tab? Since I can't see many older posts about this I mean.
almost every shield tablet makes that noise. its annoying but nothing wrong with it, its just poor electric shielding which causes interferences with the speakers.
Do you guys experience a slow down or lag when the sound comes on? I mean other than @crazyjc81.
I suspect it is related to the general lag issues that are going around. Ex. Sound is sent to the speakers and then it lags so the sound just keeps going until the processor gets around to turning it off.
