Amazon Prime Video Quality? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Ok, so if I stream video from amazon prime (regardless of the browser) on my one x, the quality is stuck at the lowest level no matter if I am on my WiFi, lte or 4g. Look in the lower right; if I am on a computer I usually get 3 or all 4 bars. I'm just curious if there's a way to bump it up. The quality isn't that horrible and I can stand it, but I just wanna see if there's any way to increase it. Thanks all

Anyone? Is it just a limitation of android's flash player or something?

Pandora and slacker radio issues

I'm having a lot of issues with Pandora and slacker radio either freezing up or starting to play a song and then skipping to the next song. Anyone else have this?

same issue
I have the same irritating issue.
i am especially irritated because i owned an iPhone 4 right before i made a switch last week. had the iPhone 2 years, never had an issue, and i use semi-daily.
hopefully they address this issue pronto
I have the same problem. I originally thought that it had something to do with beats audio, but I now think that it's a symptom of the overagressive memory management on the HOX. Check in the "general" area for many threads about this. Contact HTC to complain and get support rolling, too.
I'm thinking it was a memory issue too but I wanted to make sure. I had the 4s and this is really frustrating to me

I have been having the same issues with Pandora as well. However, it surprisingly worked very well last night after I updated to 1.82 RUU. I used it again today and no problems. Maybe it was related to an issue with the wifi problem in 1.72.
Honestly, I had the "Pandora randomly skips to a next song" on my iPhone as well. Might be a server-side thing.
Coming from my iPhone 4s it had no issues with Pandora. My one X had to buffer each song and sometimes double skips songs.
It also buffers my google play songs
It is a small annoyance because my iPhone was quick and buffer time was less than half a second easily.

was having the same problem, if only att would unlock the damn bootloader we could flash cm9 and it would save our worlds
Compared to Pandora on iOS, the Android equivalent is utter garbage.
No lock screen controls, longer buffer times, connectivity issues, less updates than iPhone version, etc. Considering we have better hardware than iOS this is unacceptable.

I've noticed the same issue on Pandora and thought it was just me. Is this an HTC issue or Pandora though?
I also have the same issue.
I'm using the One X international version with version 1.29.401.7. What about you guys?
Slacker is fine for me

Pandora now works perfectly on my nexus

Have noticed this issue using MOG and occasionally Spotify as well. I think it's an HTC issue personally.
Use Jango!

+1 for the pandora skipping problem. this is coming from an htc evo with no problems.
had another random problem too. i use pandora in the car, headphone jack to aux in on car stereo. for some reason occasionally when i get a text, email, or any other notification, it stops the song to play the ringtone, and when pandora comes back on it's at a much lower volume. tried unplugging and plugging back in, no go. my only option is to completely exit pandora and open back up. also happens sometimes when i use the mic to speak a text to it.
Also having this issue on my One X. I thought it may have been a bad install so I uninstalled it and tried again. Same result.

I too have tried several reinstalls to no avail.
maybe its the data connection?
I remember that I used to have this problem on my htc magic also, but it wasn't the memory management but the data connection (my home wifi).
because for some reason my wifi only stayed connected for about 3 mins and would restart.
so I'm thinking it may be the same issue, that LTE data doesn't stream as consistently as hspa. so maybe the ro.ril can be edited for more stable connection??
just a guess so i could be completely off
I highly doubt its a connectivity issue. I have very good data signal when i use pandora and it skips. I dont use it on wifi, because im running or at the gym so it isnt a wifi issue. Im almost certain it is a memory management issue that is killing the audio and then pandora wants it back so it starts up a new song which brings the audio back to the foreground til another task wants the number 1 spot which will eventually kill the audio again.

YouTube low quality

Is it possible to make the YouTube app play HD instead of HQ. The videos look pretty back and all boxy even with a fast wifi connection

No
Edit: maybe if you use a computer user agent in a browser that allows it.

Our screen is only capable of running at that resolution or that type of youtube video. Unless you get an iphone with a retina display. If you do....dont ever come back to this forum EVER... thats if you get an iphone.

Music playback

I thought i read some where that the nexus 5 used little very little power when playing music (60hrs) is there any truth to this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
I remember reading that but i've seen no evidence of it so far.
I read it somewhere and snapdragon 800 supports some kind of audio method which greatly reduces power for playing songs but as a N5 user default mp3 player is a battery eater.
Its called dsp tunneling, and yes the nexus 5 can do it, thing is it only works with locally stored music files and you wouldn't get that long play time with WiFi and/or 3g LTE on.

Hmm, am I weird or I don't have that issue? I just watched about 4hrs of YouTube videos (Modern Marvels) but not directly on the phone, just pushed to the TV from the cast thing to my WDTV.
I played a few quick videos on my phone directly too before doing the above and it worked just fine. I do have issues with it on HSPA even though I have 7.5Mbps speeds. Either routing or prepaid carrier slowing down youtube purposely!
