Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

Flash is not involved here, I am speaking of the official youtube app which should have no stuttering.
Anyone has the same problem??

Not got that problem. Does it still stutter for you via the browser as well?
Mine used to pause a few times when watching videos in the Youtube app but this appears to have been fixed with the latest firmware update.

Yes it does stutter even in the browser.

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?
http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-tegra-3-chip-in-tablets-by-august-20110216/
Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

I know i read somewhere that asus was working with google on it. Maybe they still havent completely ironed it out yet. Remember, its still early for honeycomb...
how do you set the youtube app to 720p? i only see an option for HD
is absolutely horrible. Compared to my old Galaxy S which could play ANYTHING with the stock video player (even 720p and .mkv files), with no stuttering or lag.
The stock video player can't even play regular .avi's and I've tryed many different formats. Is there any way to fix this and/or improve this?
Thank you.
i just wanna be able to watch some 720p mkv`s on the go..
somebody any ideas?
Yeah, I had the same problems.... I got an alpha of VLC Player, and works fine now. Try a couple players in the market and see what works.

Use another media player then.

Dice Player. Yes, you have to pay for it, BUT the picture/playback and sound sync actually make the phone work properly (for me at least). I went through 10 players over 3 months to find it.
Mobo player. Probably one of the best out there since it sets up according to ur phone's specs.

Yes, it is obvious. I'm just extremely disappointed that the stock video player is so bad, it can't even play some of the files that HTC states it should. I also don't feel the need to pay for an app in order to play video files, that's just ridiculous on a high-end phone like this. And let's be honest here, the video players on the market are rubbish.

Hello everybody.
I've just found a strange problem with my phone's internal speaker. And I think the problem might be there since my purchase but I never realized it before.
The thing is, when I play a stereo track on my phone I can only hear ONE channel through the internal speaker. However my headset work fine at the same time.
I've even downloaded an app from Play store to test the speakers and it can only play the left channel.
Can someone please test this app on your phone?
(cannot post link due to low post count)
Search Google Play for the app named "Stereo Test" from Farrell and test it on your phone, then reply with your results
You might also have this weird problem!
Note:
I'm on stock firmware (2.3.5) never rooted/flashed anything.
I did tried factory reset before posting.
Your help is much appreciated!

Well, I think i didn't described the problem enough.
I know the speaker is mono, but it should play both channels merged.
For example:
If I play a stereo song having only music in left channel & vocals in right channel. I can only hear the music (no vocals), but if I plug my headset it plays fine.
Did you guys get it?
If you still don't understand what I'm talking about.
Just download that app, test your speaker and post your results here.
That will too help me alot.

Guys, Please also post others details like your firmware version, rooted or not, having custom roms, kernels etc. which will help us more...
here is a MP3 file to test
Hey guys,
I've made a mp3 file myself to make things simple (and to prove this problem to SSC)
If you play this file, you'll hear only one channel every 5 seconds (till 30sec)
i.e.
left channel will play from 0 to 5 seconds
next right channel plays from 5 to 10 sec
then again left channel plays from 10 to 15 sec (so on till 30 seconds)
After 30 seconds, you'll hear both channels simultaneously till the end.
Now, if I play this file I can hear the first 5 seconds then the speaker goes silent for 5 seconds then again I can hear for 5 seconds and so on...till 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds though, I can hear the song till the end.
In my case, I can only hear from left channel and that is the problem I was talking about.
I request you to try playing this file and reply here with your results.
(sorry for my bad English, I tried my best to describe myself)

What the OP is actually trying to say is that only a single channel (either left / right chanel) is audible from the mono speaker that we have in our handset. Normally both channels should be audible but without the stereo effect.
'whatever' I'll try to confirm the same just give me a sometime as I can't check it currently.
Cheers !

I don't understand how could it be gingerbread problem?
When lots of other people on gingerbread can hear the song without problem.
Btw, I went to SSC yesterday and although it was hard do prove the problem, I did it with the help of edited mp3 file.
But then the SSC guy asked me to leave my phone there for"ringer" replacement, which I refused.
But, when I was leaving SSC, I found another user having Galaxy R, and then we tested the mp3 file in it, which played correctly in his handset.
So it means there is something wrong with the hardware, right?
tried that
pudup said:
No. I had this problem and now don't without altering my hardware in any way.
Indian stock rom has this issue maybe. This could also be related to the music player you use.
Try a different player. Then try a different rom. ICS if you like but if you'd rather be on GB then find out what rom and kernel someone without this issue is using and flash that.
Good luck.

I tried different players before starting this thread.
In fact, I firstly noticed this problem while I was playing a song in "n7player"
Then I thought it might be player related problem and tried stock player, "Xplay music player" etc. but nothing helped.
I'm just waiting for the official release of ICS from Samsung India.
Thanks to all.
Its been almost 4 months since last post, but I'm again here to share my experience...
I finally updated to ICS today and this weired problem is GONE!
So, its confirmed that it was a bug in my stock firmware...
Plz update if you have same problem...

CM12 official nighlies, just updated to latest one but this has been a problem since I went from stock 05Q to CM12. Google Play Music plays slightly faster than it should only on Bluetooth..... I have clean flashed twice, cleared cache for app and system and still it does it. Anyone know why?
Is anyone else experience this?

Yes I also have this issue with CM12 on my Galaxy S5 SM-G900M. I have it affecting both the Google Play Music app and the stock CM music app. I tried all the regular stuff also (clear cache, full wipe, yada yada).
Seems to be affecting multiple devices I guess.
Also affects me, thought it was so weird but it has always happened with my OnePlus one.

I had a note 2 a while back that had this issue. It was a kernel issue. Maybe try a dif kernel? I'm on CM11 05Q running franco kernel considering there's CM12 support?
I will flash back CM12 and test with a different kernel tonight. Retest Bluetooth audio on my way to work tomorrow and report what happens.
Tried two different kernels with no change. Still having bluetooth audio skip and play slightly faster / higher pitched.
Just an update. I am still having this issue... I clean flashed Slim 5.0 and the problem was still there
Just had a thought, can anyone try to recreate the issue with AwesoePlayer instead of Nuplayer

Turning off Wi-fi during Bluetooth playback worked for some other devices experiencing the problem.
Edit: apparently this has been a reoccurring issue across multiple devices with android.
Same issue with Spotify
I updated to CM12S on my OPO yesterday. Noticed since that music plays fast and pauses every 15 seconds.
Any advice on resolving?
I'm having the same issue on CM12s. :/

A lot of people experience problem with bluetooth, the problem for me is there since 4.4.4. I can't receive phone calls in my car (BMW E39) .

Hi.
Please forgive my grammar mistakes; English isn't my first language.
Why no reviewer talks about it? Why are reviews so superficial? I'm quite irritated. I've been using the Honor 8 since 1st Dec. 2016 and so far I've noticed that:
1. There's no system-level audio equalizer: this means that you have to live with the flat audio that comes out of the sound card, which is not pleasant if you really enjoy listening to music. Of course you can use a cool audio player such as Poweramp, but what about sounds coming from other apps? What about YouTube, for example?
2. You can't adjust the L-R audio balance: WTF? Again, you can use Poweramp, but what about any other sound?
3. The included earphones sound bad, like really bad. OK, if you are an audiophile you use something else, but... WTF?
4. MIDI audio output: I played a MIDI file using com.lonelycatgames.Xplore and after about a minute the phone rebooted. I used to enjoy using those piano-simulator-apps(?), such as com.rubycell.pianisthd, but the audio output is full of clicks and pops (can't explain it better, sorry). EDIT (02/03/2017): no more clicks and pops after upgrading from Android 6.0 (FRD-L09C432B120) to 7.0 (FRD-L09C432B360).
5. (a bit off topic): When using MX Player (to play video files, not audio) the HW/HW+ decoder fails to play some videos the right way (I mean, they're like slowed down).
edit (08/04/17):
6. Good luck using with satisfaction apps like "Samsung Health" or "Huawei Health". Their processes get terminated randomly when the phone is not in use (display is off). No, telling the phone to never close those processes doesn't work. AND NO, telling the apps to "ignore battery optimizations" doesn't work either. F--K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't buy it again. This phone is clearly not made for audio(/video)-obsessed people.
Guys, what are your thoughts about the A/V experience this smartphone offers?

2. You can actually adjust the L-R balance : Settings- advanced settings-accessibility-sound balance.
3. There were no earphones with my phone (L04).
My impressions are audio is not bad, I had HTC M8 before and it was definitely better, but the Honor does the job and i'm pretty satisfied.
When campared to my note 4 , the note 4 wins by a land slide.. I was disappointed when i first heard music on my honor 8.
Easiest fix: Just flash v4a
Unless you really don't want to unlock your device then i don't know but v4a gets the job more then done

I do agree that the lack of equalizer is very unpleasant. I miss my good old phones with Cyanogen and my equalizers.
I had Honor 7 and LG G3 before the 8 and I managed to install Viper4Android which is the best equalizer of all times but since I didn't unlock the Honor 8 yet...
This phone CAN be GREAT for people like us, but we have to flash a few things for that

2. You can actually adjust the L-R balance : Settings- advanced settings-accessibility-sound balance.

I do agree that the lack of equalizer is very unpleasant. I miss my good old phones with Cyanogen and my equalizers.

I miss the eq of the Galaxy S5
I loved it

Easiest fix: Just flash v4a
Unless you really don't want to unlock your device

I thought about it, but this phone is the only one I have in my hands right now and if anything goes wrong...

This phone CAN be GREAT for people like us, but we have to flash a few things for that

I'm afraid it's never gonna be great for me. I'll never trust any review anymore.
My opinion:
For music the best is Alcatel 4, stereo speakers, jbl headphones, built in app equalizer, dj mode..
But its music phone.
Honor 8 is good for daily using whatever you want.
Great camera, display and even one speaker of sound is nice though should be louder. Honor have HiSilicon Hi6402 audio chipset. DTS sound effect in music player.
Ok, it have no equalizer (it piss me off because in play store you can find only trash), but we can install Viper if we rooted our phone.
If no root mode we can use poweramp as you said, maybe no works with youtube but who listen to music on youtube if audio there have not good quality.

You're right !
Though, as a Spotify user, I'm strongly thinking about installing Viper.

Right. But installing it now, for me, would be a pain in the ass, 'cause I'd have to unlock the bl (which would force an hard reset). I have no desire(?) at the moment to reconfigure everything

Uhm... this is complicated. It's not a simple concept like "youtube music video suck". YouTube has any kind of video and I'd like to listen to the audio the best way possibile. And what about Spotify, as someone else already wrote?
No, f**k, it's not possible to pay 330€ to get such a low quality audio. I don't accept it. And we're still only talking about the lack of eq. What about the crappy HW video decoder? What about the bad midi output? I can't believe it.

I can talk only about this what i know. With root you can flash this amazing mod which destroy other music phones. I have it on lg g2m: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-beatsaudio-e-xloud-installer-t3029951

Me too. I said when i bought it that i will not modyfing new phone.. but i cant live without viper because i love music.

I agree. I'm not sure whether it's just the software that sucks, though.

I've unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP many times without failure.
I've also bricked my phone a few times and manage to unbrick it.
I think installing v4a honestly shouldn't be hard whatsoever if you need help you can just search forums
I agree. The sound, even with dts, is mediocre. I have never had a good pair of buds or headphones come by default. I always buy 3rd party.
The only major con is the ios skin. The video is npt grreat but not bad. So 1 major flaw and 2 small issues. GREAT PHONE.
Lol which music fanatic buys a phone to listen to music sorry but you failed completly by yourself
Get viper and you should be fine

If someone want to have one device to everything is ok.
So i should buy camera, mp3 player etc?
The same with people which buys phone for taking pictures, why not? Now smartphones haves very good audio chipsets and firmware addons which makes phone better than many other players. Problem with honor is that his firmware is not made for music lovers but as you said Viper can change it.
Ps i find no root, not bad app, good for headphones
