200% speed gets disabled after exiting - MX Player

Call me weird but most of the time I play my videos at 200% speed. I change this in the main settings, not while watching the video. As soon as I back out of the video or turn off the device, the settings turns back to 100 in that video, but not really 100% because it sounds like it is slowed down. When I manually change the settings back in the video (in main it is still 200) everything is fine, even if I back out again)

Goto Settings ยป Player & disable "Remember Selection"
It seems to be issue in saving file specific settings.
Reported to the development team. Will be fixed in future.

Sorry, but that does not seem to do the trick.
Thanks for reporting it.

Music streaming apps stop after 5 minutes when the phone is locked

So since I Updated to the s8 plus I have not been able to stream my usual local radio app kokefm or online streamimg websites for more than 5 Minutes when the decice is locked. After 5 minutes the stream pauses, and when I unlock the phone the stream resumes. I have checked to make sure background data is enabled for the apps, and no power saving is on. Anyone else having this issue?
I figured out how to fix it if anyone else has this problem.
Go to settings > device maintenance > battery. Then click on battery usage then the three dots on the top right and go to optimize battery usage. There you can change to all apps and turn off optimization for whatever apps are not streaming in the background. Seems kinda redundant since I already had the apps in the not monitored list and allowed background network data... atleast it's working now.
Android 7 has a feature called "Doze" that will make most apps go into a suspended state after the device is idle for a while. This is possibly what's making your music app stop. If your app has a Stay Awake function, you may want to enable it and just turn the screen brightness down instead of off.
I think the problem in settings, that's all... Do you use Spotify? It has become so popular because it gives users what they want. The user can stream music from any Android device. Having over 75 million users, Spotify is the most popular among them. What is the reason behind its popularity and how much does it cost to build an app like Spotify?

Weird pixel glitches and graphical issues on any 3D application

Images attached below explain the behavior, it only happens in 3D apps not all of them but mostly on games. Probably when something needs to be rendering.
Also would like to add to the issue above, screen sometimes goes half-black(%50) and sometimes %60, from right to left.
It always happens, but rarely and randomly. And in order to make it appear more often (almost always) I do the following;
Always 4K mode (adb shell wm size 2160x3840)
Under 'Developer options' -> 'Input'; 'Show Taps' option is enabled. -> Without this it happens very rarely.

Does this occur if you aren't on always 4k mode? try reverting back to the default wm size (wm size reset/wm density reset). Could be an issue with the 4k mod.

(Always: either on 1080 or 4K)
It happens very often when there is some overlays like status bar and massanger and others. And only while playing games.

Asaptive refresh rate flaws

Hi guys,
I noticed the the adaptive refresh rate is not always accurate:
Example 1: Open Google maps and then push down the top notification bar to expand Android setting. Push it up and down and you will see that the refresh rate is low when pushung it up and down. If you quit maps then it will switch back to normal.
Example 2: Use built-in screen recorder. It will force 60hz refresh rate whilst recording. I ended up disabling it and downloading a third party screen recorder so form Google play store and that one worked perfectly and with 120hz during screen recording.
Example 3: Do a WhatsApp video call and then minimize that video to background. The screen will turn to 60hz and will only switch back to 120hz when WhatsApp video call is ended.
In some apps, it might start with 60hz and lag when scrolling but then switch to 120hz and make it smooth.
This is really annoying. Is there a way to force 120hz per app or turn it on permanently? There should be settings somewhere that decide when to do it.

It always goes back to 60Hz for certain apps like Maps, WhatsApp calls.. I don't think there is anyway to prevent that...
Doesn't bother me. No big deal.

Thanks. Its sad if course, hopefully it will be fixed with future firmware updates or folks will find a way to customise it per app. It should have something stored in the phone that will tell it when to switch.

Touch lag issue when using Adaptive smooothness

I got my Note 20 Ultra back on November and encountered an annoying issue when Adaptive refresh rate is turned on and watching YouTube videos. When YouTube first starts the display will run at 120hz, but after a few seconds it will drop to 60hz. When the refresh rate drops, the first touch of the screen is interpreted as a touch and hold instead of a single press. The display will then jump back to 120hz, but the display still thinks I'm pressing and holding the screen when I've already let go. If I then touch the screen again while in 120hz the phone thinks I've done a double tap (presumable completing the first tap and then immediately registering the second tap), which causes the video to seek forward or backward, depending on where I pressed on the screen the second time. If I tap the screen the one time but allow the screen to drop back to 60hz after it jumps to 120hz from the first tap, then the first tap seems to be ignored as my second tap acts like a tap and hold again.
What's interesting is that as long as the display stays at 120hz, all taps after the scenario above work fine. A single tap will open the playback overlay (pause/play button, seek arrows, etc) like it's supposed to, but once I leave the display alone and it drops to 60hz this whole problem starts all over again. Since adaptive refresh is tied to the brightness sensor, this problem does not present itself in a dark room since the display stays at 120hz in a dark room. Also, if I turn off adaptive refresh rate and have the display stay at 60hz all the time then the problem is not present either. I also will occasionally get non responsiveness on Brave Browser but I can't say for sure if they are related.
This has frustrated me so much I did a factory reset and interestingly the issue did not re-appear at first with a fully updated YouTube. Once I updated/installed other apps (including Galaxy store apps) the problem returned. I don't have display overlay apps installed, so I suspect it's a Galaxy store app but I can't pinpoint which one. I don't believe this is a hardware issue, so I'm curious if anyone on the thread has had a similar issue. I'd like to report this to Samsung but I have no idea where to even report this.
Sounds like you've figured it's a software program. You should update one at a time and see if you can pinpoint the issue. Try to not to install 3rd party software until all you need to update gets updated and phone is working fine.
Or
I would say try using a package disabler and try disabling the apps you suspect to see if any improvements. It might not be a Samsung app as others would be facing the same issue you're having.
As always don't restore settings/app data from backup etc other than media, messages, logs.
I'm using adaptive and everything is working fine on my end. Snapdragon variant here. Albeit I keep a number of Samsung apps disabled as i don't use or need them running in background for no reason.

Can you provide a list of apps which you have disabled through adb?
have you tried diff version of youtube that can help

I use package disabler pro bought from their website. It gives me a great on demand enable/disable option.
My use case might be a bit different from yours as I have about 160 packages disabled at a given time. I guess I can provide a list and you chose what you want from it.
I'll try uninstalling apps again to see if the problem can be resolved that way. On the latest version of Youtube it worked fine before I started installing more apps. I kind of don't want to do a full factory reset but if I have to so I can narrow that my be my only option. I'm wondering if there is another software I can run on my phone to see if any apps are interfering with the display or adaptive refresh rate?
I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone. The issue went away for the most of the day but returned again by night time. Same issue - when at 120hz and drops to 60hz the issue is present. It's not just Youtube, it's on any app, including the home screen. The first tap is always interpreted as a tap and hold, so single tapping an app icon brings up the tap and hold menu, and single tapping on the home screen brings up the home screen customization screen. Another test I did was turn off auto brightness, then turn my brightness down to the lowest setting. After that the display stayed at 120hz and the issue did not return until I either set the brightness up manually or turn auto brightness back on. I also tried in safe mode, and the issue was not present there either, but I can't tell if the device every went into 120hz or not since all 3rd party apps are disabled. At this point I have no idea what it is. The app setup was fine during the day, no new apps were installed, but the issue returned. Seems like I have no choice to but turn adaptive smoothness off and leave it at 60hz.
Just to add a little more interesting information here. I had someone else use the refresh rate monitor app on their Note 20 ultra (Tmobile variant), and their display operates differently than my Verizon variant. On the Tmo variant, when the screen drops to 60hz and the screen is tapped, the refresh rate drops to below 60 (12, 34, 48, etc) but then goes back up to 120hz after the app opens. Mine just goes immediately to 120hz and then gets that tap-and-hold behavior. So clearly the screens software or firmware is behaving differently here. I'm wondering if we have any other Verizon variant Note 20 Ultra users on this forum that could also test?

Accessories Samsung Z flip 3 (Neutron music player to USB dac/amp transport working when phone closed)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
!!! PLEASE READ POSTS At THE BOTTOM (#3 & 4) FOR FINAL and 100% WORKING SOLUTION
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hi, I have Z flip 3 for 2 days, and have finally (!!!) managed to get music play continuously without interruptions/pausing when phone closed (external DAC/AMP to IEMs).
Equipment: Z flip 3 >> Neutron player >>transport out through USB OTG cable>> Monoprice Monolith THX DAC/AMP>>Sony EX800ST IEMs
If anyone is interested, please let me know, I just got home from night shift, will sleep and after I will happily provide all info (full write up) if needed (late tonight Amsterdam NL time).
Could not find nothing on the net, but got it working, tested 6+ hours with my IEM's.
Also, it includes debloating through computer and ADB.
_\|/_ peace.
When I received the phone I tried to change all possible phone settings, but the playback to Dac/Amp would stop every time I closed the Flip (sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes).
Once I ADB debloated the phone using this guide
How To Remove Bloatware on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G and Improve Performance - NaldoTech
If your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G is becoming slow or acting in a weird way, there are a plethora of solutions to this issue. You can factory reset the phone
www.naldotech.com
... the phone kept its playback to USB indefinitely. From the above list of tweaks I removed 4 lines containing Calendar, Clock, My files and Soundalive. Factory phone reset works (I tried) after above ADB cleanup.
Phone settings:
Developer options (MIGHT be related settings for successful continuous playback when phone closed):
stay awake >ON
OEM unlocking >ON
USB debugging >OFF (after ADB'd)
Default USB config >selected NONE
Disable ADB auth. timeout >ON
Verify bitcode of debuggable apps >ON
I have all other Developer options set to OFF.
Other notable settings I changed to make it work:
Always ON display >ON (10 AM-9:59 AM) LOL
Wallpaper services: NONE
Cover screen: Turn on screen for notifications>ON
Double tap to turn screen: >ON for both
XXX
I believe that this is it. I might have forgotten to list some setting, but believe me, I am not going to change none of it, I am happy it finally works. I might search for a specific setting if you request. None of it worked until ADB'd for sure.
So basically when you close the Flip phone, internal screen turns off, and small external screen stays on all the time, I selected the smallest possible widget with least, very small text and have brightness to 1 step up from minimal.
As this is OLED, the power consumption is negligible.
In Neutron player I have set Service - keep process running in background to ON
I open Neutron, start playback through internal phone speakers, LEAVE Neutron OPEN FULL SCREEN, turn on DAC/AMP, THEN connect USB cable, give Neutron permission(s) and flip-close the phone. This might be important.
Another thing is Youtube Premium 4 months for free, also gives playback when phone is closed. (unrelated)
Smoking Cigar ... LOL
After a few days I started turning things off, things that I said are 'necessary' as per my previous post, one by one.
This had no effect on continuous playback, OUCH!! EINSTEIN LOL
I found out, that in Neutron player in Settings/Audio Hardware, on top of the Settings page, you must see DRV USB-Audio - MONOLYTH HPA (Audio Track) as driver for fluent and uninterrupted playback.
This means in Neutron, turning on Generic Driver (red dot ON) and Hi-Res Codec (DIrect PCM) in its subfolder (red dot ON).
For best sound quality DSP Effect (device) in Neutron settings should be set to OFF to turn off Android Atmos/EQ etc. (At the same time, for keeping audio as original as possible, on the phone, in Sound quality and settings all must be disabled, and EQ put to Normal on the phone.)
DIrect USB access has to be off in Neutron, unfortunately, otherwise phone pauses music within a short time after being folded back.
Neutron MUST be set to NEVER SLEEP in battery submenu.
I am still troubleshooting, so far all seems ok. Will test some more.
Tested ... and WORKING as per post above. Music is pausing no more when phone closed. Tested intensively for 7 days.
This problem almost made me return the phone. Peace to everyone !!!
