Hi everyone,
New GS6 user here (got it like an hour ago ), and my initial impressions are very very positive (switched from an iPhone 6).
But, the one thing I've noticed during my time with the phone, when I'm watching a Youtube video (720p, 1080p) I notice a certain lag with video playback. The video loads pretty quickly (no buffering or any of that stuff) and it is definitely not fluid as on the iPhone, maybe a more accurate description would be "dropped frames", but it is very noticable to me.
So I just wanted to ask is this normal? Phone's software is 5.0.2. currently and other than this minor thing with the Youtube app, I really don't have any complaints.
Hope you don't mind me oppening the thread because of this.
Thank you for the help.
No problems similar to yours here.
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.

Hi all. Is anyone else dissatisfied by the video recording performance of their Tough Pro? I know mine is a massive letdown - even compared to my old XDA II from 4 years ago! I just got back and my holiday videos are rubbish.
Ateksoft's CoolCamera is a brilliant app for PPC's that can boost framerate, picture size and quality. However it doesn't work with the recent HTC devices.
I'm sure other people would be happy to part with a couple of quid for an app that could turn their Touch Pro into a great camera. If you're interested, please post in the following thread on Ateksoft's website:

It only takes a second to register and it could make a lot of difference!
Cheers,
Mike
I have the One X for about 2 weeks now, and my main complain is the video (flash).
I have tried pretty much every browser that is available for this device and the results are the same (pixelated, slow, etc.) I've tried on Wi-Fi and LTE, and both connections are excellent (It drops once in a while, but that's a different topic), but the video still look like crap.
I have the international version of the Samsung Galaxy Note, and it plays video flawlessly (even on 3G).
Please tell me that I'm not only one experiencing this. This is my second one, I have return my previous one for a completely different reason, but I believe the video playback on the first one is the same.
Any explanation for this, or any settings I need to change to make this bearable? I'm really not happy with this phone overall.
Thank you in advance.
i dont have this problem i guess it depends on how the video was uploaded
Works fine with my phone. Depends on site / browser. Some are better than others.
Thanks for the replies guys.
When you guys says, "fine". Can you please elaborate. I mean is it smooth, HD quality.
Can you guys go espn.com, and play some of the videos. Dolphin doesn't even play the videos, Stock browser plays, but pixelated (especially fast paced - basketball, etc.), ICS+ plays, but still the quality is not that great. Opera is the same thing.
I can run the Galaxy note side by side with the One X, and the Note, not only load fastest, the quality is great. It might get a hiccup once in a while, but it keeps the quality of the video at a very good quality.
Thank you.
pm me the video you are trying to watch and i can test it
what browser are you using thats messing up? or browsers? What site ect. no pron please tho.
Same for me, I get these weird black and white pixels when watching flash videos on stock browser. It also happens when I watch movies that are software decoded with mx player. Certain videos seem fine, like the ones on youtube.
I've got the same issue. Dunno if it's hardware related though.
I can go to Video or YouTube and they all play fine.
On other sites I get stuttering and population issues.
Maybe it's the flash that's not decoding correctly? Or crud its the processor fubaring?
Meh either way still a ton nicer than my old.Captivate

I sold my Nexus 5 bought at launch because of this issue. The video camera simply records awful videos in low light, more specifically, at 20 fps.

Recently, I've heard that 4.4.2 update solved this issue, even though no website wrote about this, I was quite amazed.
One friend sent me a couple of videos. It is easy to say that they are smooth, like all video recordings should be.

Can anyone confirm this?

Let's see. Is your thread title a question? Is there a q&a forum here Besides the general forum? Would a search have answered your question?
But yeah, the answer us that on 4.4.1/4.4.2, video mode on nexus 5 puts framerate on a high priority. It tries to maintain 30fps during record in
However, in low light conditions, each frame is short(33ms) and does not capture a lot of light. The video may be darker than before. You could so some post processing to turn up the brightness

I am looking to sell my gs4 and get the n5 because of the updates, smoothness etc. The video recording is a deal breaker for me because of the low framerate. It is a shame to watch and share videos at such a low fps.
I'm not sure if they will ever solve the hissing audio ...
Hello all,
I'm considering to buy Mate 30 Pro, but i'm worried about video quality in 4k mode. Something changed in new firmwares? Youtube videos discourage from buying this phone - videos looks blurry. What's your opinions?
Greetings
Miles better than the P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro. Stabilization is better, there's less stutter/jitter when panning around it captures more detail. All these firmware updates have made such a massive difference in the video capture capabilities of M30P.
The only area it is definitely a bit weak in is low light video capture. It's not bad, but could be better - iPhone 11 seems to do better in this department (I had a friend whom I compared with side to side and it edged my M30P when the sun went down).
Thanks for answer, you helped me. Finally i bought it and i'm happy with video quality. How You say, only night videos can be little bit better - phone searching focus too offen and it's a biggest problem. I'm hone next firmwares fix this.

I've been getting a new firmware update almost every week so far on my CN M30P.
Most have included improvements to the camera so if Huawei keep this up, then it's only just going to keep getting better as the firmware has far from matured and perfected the phone given how new it still is.
Hello fellow Pixel users,
In my country Google is not selling their phones officially, so from my perspective it's a tough decision to make. I will be buying it from Germany within my business travel. I am currently using OnePlus 8 Pro and before that I had a Samsung S10+ (Exynos variant). So I am familiar with having a processor that is way better than Exynos is quite the difference.
1- So my first question is how good is the Tensor chip inside Google's phone. I am aware of the better usage as we can see with Apple maintaining the iphone's own silicone. They are trying the best power output of the smartphone within it's hardware capabilities. I am no gamer with the phone so all I expect is watch some videos, use basic social media and open many chrome tabs and sometimes take pictures from my travel.
2-My second question is the material used in the phone. As I said before I never seen or used a pixel phone. I expect it to be maintain basics or better than overall quality but from the social media I am hearing that camera frame has getting damage, power button is falling inside the phone. A fellow youtuber JerryRigsEverything said about bending issue in his teardown video too. Is anyone here experienced issues like this? Or is it a %1 manufacturing mistake that can happen to anyone.
3-My third question is the battery life and camera performance from your experience. I have watched some youtube videos from MKBHD, which is just praising the Pixel 7 Pro and I am trusting his channel. Meanwhile I have watched some unbiased compare videos with the S23 Ultra and iphone 14 Pro Max and usually photos and videos from Pixel phone looks much worse than how it's announced. Maybe they are not editing their photos, just comparing them with the way it is looking straight from the camera. But since nobody here is doing a sponsorship with pixel I trust your words over them.
Thank you for your response
Clearly these are only my own opinions.
1. Tensor 2 is great, it might not look good on paper thanks to all the benchmarking people do but in the real world it is more than enough.
2. You are never going to bend the phone like Zack does on JRE and lets be fair here, the P7P didn't snap or remain bent in his test. My P7P is now 5 months old and remains scratch free with all its buttons in place.
3. Battery life in my experience is good, i don't recall having to charge in the day even when going mental with the camera on a day out or on Holiday. Photos are good but they do have that pixel look about them and despite Googles "real tone" claims it sometimes makes a right pigs ear of skin tones regardless of colour. Mainly though you will end up with a good photo just about every time, whether it is framed right is down to you. As for video, well it is a Pixel, its never been any Pixels strongest attribute but i find videos from it perfectly acceptable.
