Netflix and other streaming apps ?

So I got my phone yesterday and installed all the stuff I usually use , question is why does Netflix and other streaming apps look horrible on this phone ? Is it because of the screen ? I was using an old iPhone 6 as a temp while I waited for this and video looked so much nicer on that screen even on 480p. Anyone else think the playback on this is bad or is it just me ? I did have a note 8 but I sold it to try this phone, wanted to try something new. I know lcd and amoled are on each device but I don't think it should be that bad of a difference if I think an iPhone 6 looks better , any thoughts ? What's your experience with this coming from another phone flagship or not ? :good:
This is over data and wifi and both have decent speeds for netflixing or even YouTube IMO
Two different apns for T-Mobile in s.california
Edit also binge is off on my account

Hi,
im thinking to buy this phone , can you explain what do you mean that looks bad ? can you take a photo of the "issue" with another phone ?
thanks

I think I just found the problem to this. Correct me if I am wrong.
I believe there seems to be the same problem with mix 2. There is a licensing called widevine L3. And it only let's the device play on SD quality. Not HD. so... I think we are in a bit of a dilemma.

From what I'm reading Netflix isn't a app fault it's a phone thing it won't play anything pass 480p because of drmservices , I fixed YouTube with a moded version set it to 1080 on default I'm looking for a Netflix fix but I doubt will get one

I may have found a solution...

can other people confirm that issue ?
is very disappointing in case , would be good to know if will be present in mi mix 2s global version as well.

I just checked with DRM info app. The device supports only widevine level 3. But level 1 is required for netflix in hd,unfortunately.
It is just a matter of software (free of any licencing fees), though, we might ask xiaomi to implenent it..

I did send suggestion thru their feedback section I think we should all do it maybe they'll actually do something about it

You would have been better going a bit more in-depth, asking them specifically to add Widevine Level 1, to enable HD streaming

Also, has anyone with the Android P Beta checked the DRM info to see if Widevine L1 has been added?, If not can someone check please, thanks :good:

I believe all Mi Mix iterations have the issue, regardless of the ROM. BUT!, Widevine is owned or whatever by Google, so with Google giving the Mix 2s the Android P Dev Previews, I wonder if they would have included the L1 DRM for HD streaming

I believe the only "big" streaming services that are affected are Netflix and Amazon Prime, other playback should be HD... I think lol. Hopefully someone can confirm whether or not L1 is in the Dev Preview so we know what to expect

It's an absolute disaster from Xiaomi , i was near to buy the phone , i think they just lost a customer (unless global will have everything fixed but i don't think so)
i'm embarrassed for them , mi mix 2 and 2s are supposed to be flasgship

Its the same with oneplus.

Again, if anyone knows someone who's running the dev preview, please get them to check, we'd appreciate it.

I don't think it's how it works with Netflix. Even if your device has software and hardware compatible with Netflix level of DRM, Netflix still will need to certify it, before you will be able to watch HDR10 resolution

That's why we root and install custom ROMs ;-/

widevine L1

So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.

It might be worth waiting for the EU launch to check this as even if the Chinese variant doesn't have it (that market doesn't have the need for it do they?) the European/Global variant with all of the Google apps and framework might come with it.
I know the Honor 10 has it so I'm expecting this one to have it as well but, like you, I'm patiently waiting for confirmation. Honor UK never replied to this same question when I asked their Twitter account.

Here, check out this video. Provides a lot of insight and does co firm to be L1

I have a Honor Note 8 since 2 Years and since the Android 8 Update is the framework preinstalled.
i have to install Play Store,Calendar and Contact Sync and all works fine,but it also worked with Android 7
I think the same with the Honor Note 10.
Mine is coming to me tomorrow from Manchester and then I can say more

Thanks for the information dude.
Can you double check by playing a video called 'test patterns'.
You have 2 devices so look at the numbers and see if there is any difference.
That video will show you what resolution it's playing at.

For Netflix in HD you'll probably need the modified APK.
Not only does Netflix HD require Widevine level 1 but they (Netflix) have to put specific devices on their whitelist. The modified APK bypasses the whitelist but not the Widevine level, but that's fine because this device is level 1 anyway.

Thanks for the information, I have tried the HD only apk, it shows hd icon on the info screen but still streams at 480p.
The test video shows 720x480. Didn’t try the uhd only one because the download link doesn’t work.

Is the mi 8 's screen 18:9? If so the video is being played in full screen by defualt and the yellow texts are cropped. Try Pinch in to play it in 16:9, then you can see the text.

Try and download modified Netflix apk. I managed to install it on my note 10 and it streams in 720p, don't really know why I don't see 1080p like I do with the same modified app on my mate 10.
Edit
I am now able to see 1080p as well. It was just 720p on the first episode of "Test Patterns" other episodes give me 1080p so happy now.

Pocophone 10.3.4.0.PEJMIXM update

It just showed up!

Got it on my device too. My app drawer was in dark mode post-install, but swiftly went back to default, which I found strange seeing as I can't find anything relating to dark mode outside of the Poco Launcher settings, which do not effect the app drawer.

hope the battery isnt as bad as the previous updates!!

Is it streaming HD content on Hotstar and Netflix? Someone please try as I'm on the beta.

But as they have released it in stable so I thought it should stream Hd contents on Hotstar and Netflix too. Someone check it out and report. Thanks?

I don't think Netflix has yet to whitelist the POCO F1. The poco team said they are making progress with them and the HD content will come soon, so maybe after the positive feedback from Netflix they rolled it out. (not sure for Hotstar though...) I'm sure when its officially confirmed and tested + working by the team, they will make a huge announcement that you can watch your HD netflix !

About Netflix and Prime video

Hi guys! When playing stuff from Netflix or Prime video they won't stream in HD, just SD.
In the information section both say HD is not supported. Even Netflix wasn't available to download from Playstore so I had to download the apk from another site.
Saying so, do you have any ideas on how to stream in HD? Do you think it's necessary to change the ROM to do that?

Before I unlocked the bootloader of my moto g8 plus, both prime video and Netflix streamed at HD. After I've done it they both only stream at 480p max. So since I only had a few days left of Netflix left that month, I cancelled my Netflix subscription. I still have prime video because I subscribed to amazon prime but I would have cancelled it too since I don't watch much tvs and movies. I only got Netflix because of a specific show it's called "Lost in space" but I find that almost everything else is blasphemous and garbage in Netflix.
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader and only getting SD quality. Maybe you need to factory reset.

Hi, due to Virus they have lowered streaming quality.

I have my bootloader unlocked, and I didn't use the phone to stream before that so... I think it must be that.
Maybe I'll try locking it again. (When I'm in the mood to backup everything because doing so wipes all your data xD). And about lost in space, yeah that's a good one. If you still have prime video and didn't watch it already you should try The expanse.
Aaaaand. Sorry, I just remembered. I used it before to stream and the quality wasn't HD... That's exactly why I unlocked the bootloader... Because I was trying to update Android or to maybe install lineage. (Both were unsuccessful).

In 2022, you don't have to do root etc.. just follow these steps and you will enable prime video in full hd in your moto G8 plus or any other Widevine L1 device..

Welcome friend.

Request to any P40 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:

Yes its back..

How frustrating.
Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?

I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114

Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.

Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days
Sent from my SM-F907B using Tapatalk

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.
