I've seen this posted before about the Pad 5 but it seems the Pad 6 suffers from the same issue. HDR content on Netflix and Youtube has a gray overtone and looks bad. Dolby Vision is not yet supported on Netflix either. If I open an HDR movie in Google Photos, it suffers the same issue.
However, watching an HDR movie in MX Player or VLC is fine for some reason. Not sure if there's any solution for this or if we'll just have to wait and hope for an update that fixes this.

I think you should look at what happen to me today! I have buy a xiaomi phone, I want to unlock the device, but the xiaomi company said I should wait 2 Hours for the Technology worker's answer. and 2 Hours after, they say I should wait for 168 Hours for the right to unlock. but the truth is that I have do everything until click the "Unlock" button on the xiaomi Unlock app on my laptop. but it become gray color, you can not click this button. it not display that your count should wait for 30 days to unlock. this means that they just do not want to unlock the device for me. not because of the wait 168 hours. the wait 168 hours just a reason (excuse) for them to keep not disable unlock for me. How evil they are!
never buy any electronic device from the xiaomi or Jinshan company. they are evil company.
and you can think about the security of all the China electronic device. the picture is that I take from my laptop about what I say.

Well, had the thing for a few weeks, and I just can't find a reason to keep it. I wanted to stream videos from the net - but I can't as it stutters and doesn't play 720p smoothly at all (Not Youtube), and the amount of tablet software is pretty woeful to be honest.
Unless someone can persuade me to keep it, I will have to say byebye... and I am quite sad about that
And no... I'm not getting an iPad either
Do some searching, this question comes up all the time.
My 2 cents is that if you want a table for playing videos the iPad2 is your best choice.
You will have to wait but for video the archos tabs seem to be really good and they are easily unlockable. The next generation is gonna be released soon and the specs look good.

Have you updated to latest firmware?
720p works fine. Mkv with ac3 audio won't play audio in stock player but will in moboplayer or dice player.

I am not disparaging the ipad, it is a very well built device that IF it does what you want is a great choice, however you're recommending it for 720p playback when it doesn't even have a 720p display.
I don't want an iPad mainly due to lack of Flash - I have various sites I use with flash video streaming and the TF simply cannot play any of them - and I have rooted and tried Revolver 2.1.2, which is great - but makes no difference to flash videos.
MKV video plays fine btw - that's not what I was after
I'm thinking the next gen of tablets may be worth waiting for - the current crop simply are not up to the task - and simply seem to be made to contend with the iPad 2 - which isn't exactly a great choice anyway.
mine streams fine, better than my ipad, i watch tv shows and films no problem over wifi, even on a slow 1mb connection, try istreamnet.net and see if they stream using the standard player.

if what you are having an issue with is flash video then I would suggest installing the hack that enables hardware acceleration. A quick search will turn it up. Flash is pig, it's nice to have support for it but flash is really suited only for real PCs and it will never be a real priority for tablets.
I've been recording a few 4k clips. I think its pretty pointless A) No OIS , you need a tripod only reall for using it B) Frame rate not 30fps all the time stutters a bit.
Other than that its the most detailed amazing video on my 2560 x 1440p monitor (No 4k monitor yet), but with no OIS its really not practical at all. Or usable. And not to mention the 5 minute clip limit...
Anyone here going to honestly be using it over 1080p? (Unless you carry a tripod) Guess i'm too use to the G2's OIS camera which gives much smoother videos.
Honestly, mostly I just use 720p. In my opinion the 4k function is an marketing trick by Samsung. Well it works but the mainstream market needs a few more years until it's the non+ ultra. It's nice to have but I'm quietly sure I won't use it at all.

Agreed. 100% marketing gimmick. Other than playing with it for a few minutes, doubt I will ever use it again. If it was 4K 30fps with image stabilization yes.
Chaialo says
I was actually thinking of filming a commercial with it. I do have a tripod, slider and a clamp to hold it. I will also be shooting the same scenes in 1080P on my HPX300 just in case.

I wish you guys would quit with the whining.. the camera (from what I have seen) is clearly better than its predecessors or just about anything on the market for a smartphone. Samsung has clearly improved this phone in every way, its by far the best phone on the market. No other phone can anywhere close to what this phone offers, the features are endless. So stop crying and be happy that you are fortunate to own the best phone on the market. IMO
I don't think that the 4k ability is outstanding but someone has to take the first step. And that the note 3 can handle the bandwidth needed for 4k is enough to wow me right there.(it is very compressed I'd imagine)
And to people saying its a marketing gimmick, isn't the iphones slow mo feature the same? The note 3 can do 720p 120fps just like the iphone but there not hyping it up. 4k is more exciting then watching every video on YouTube in slow mo. If I want to watch slow mo I want to see it at 1000fps with a true slow mo camera.

Uh, 4K is a feature of the snapdragon 800 chipset. Samsung had nothing to do with it. Blame Qualcomm for it being less than desirable.
I imagine xda devs will get around the 5 minute limit soon enough.

I'm so tired of coming to this forum and seeing people constantly complain about things that are either superficial or not mind blowing (etc. speakers not putting out surround sound 7.1, 4k not being worlds better than 1080p).
Keep these negative post in:

Sounds great, they should also make it that Samsung fanboys can only start posts too? Fanboys here don't let people express their opinions which is what forums are all about discussions and sometimes there are topics you might not like.

just got my nexus 5 last night.
i am having issues with youtube hd video playback being very slightly pixelated. i have a feeling its a problem with either youtube app itself, or my network but i cant seem to find out why it may be like this. i am currently pulling down about 17.67 mbps on my Wi-Fi, however last night i was pulling down 34mbps and i still had the problem. i downloaded some 1080p videos i shotwith my nokia lumia 928 and they played fine, everything was sharp and clear as it should be.
has anyone else encountered this issue, im not having pixelation in any other apps which why i believe it is you tube that is giving me the problem, how ever my girlfriend has a note3 (1080p display as well) and hers looks clear maybe im missing something in settings?
ps. i have never had any other issues with the youtube app how ever this is the only 1080p device i have other than my tv and girlfriends note 3, is it a resolution problem?

i did noticed that but while using chromes you-tube embedded videos. Not sure if its possible to fix. Videos look like standard def regardless if you are on 3g or wifi
Did you go to settings and select stream HD over network

Yes I did, in fact it was enabled by default so I toggled it. And I've yet to watch a video over network its all been on WiFi, its very evident in videos where there are subtitles OE small text on the screen
Whenever I've watched HD videos in the Youtube app on my N5, the clarity has been pretty amazing (unless the original video sucked, then it will always be horrible).
I've noticed that most (if not all) videos on youtube play back in 720p when you choose "HD". So yes, they will look worse on this phone than a 720p phone because they will be stretched out to fit the screen. I don't know if this is a limitation of the app itself or if all the videos I'm watching just happen to be 720p?
There is something wrong with the youtube app. When using viral pro the quality is a lot better.

thats what i was wondering too, if hd is 720p
That's... Really lame.
My Blackberry could do that. What the hell?
I don't use it often, but it's a great feature.
Geez. Any solution? Can i use a 3rd party camera? Even if can't use both cameras?

There's a camera icon displayed while recording that takes photos when you click it.

No there isn't?
I certainly can't seem to find it.
Probably another "enhancement" to the North American versions.
So Huawei doesn't give a damn about anyone outside China, go figure. Last Huawei device.
Nope, scratch that, I figured it out.
It doesn't happen if you record at 60fps.
Which is another problem, why can we record at 1080p 60fps but not 720p 60fps?
Regardless, can't record at 60fps and take photos at the same time. Super lame.
Hey, currently i'm thinking to buy 12s ultra. But i read about some bugs are there like notifications, caller id, edge detection and etc.
I'd like to know as of you guys using this phone for months, Are the problems are solved? Are there any bugs still persist?
For users that reports having bugs for notifications are really the one that doesnt really knows how to set up a Xiaomi phone. I have been using a week already and I get all my notifications right away.

With eu ROM, it's been an excellent phone. No big complaints here.
I would like to thank you all, I'm planning this phone to buy. But there was some questions and now it is almost solved. Because when I buy a new smartphone I use it about 2-3 years. So that's why I wanted to be sure.
Regards
Can't send 1080p (30p/60p) videos via whatsapp, the videos will stutter but it's smooth in the video player and gallery.
this is on latest stable EU Rom, seems to be a known issue with chinese roms / phones.

I was using a Vivo nex 3s for the pass 2 years, which served me very good but the camera department and the lackluster mono speaker just a nono for a flagships anymore. The 12s ultra I got from aliexpress with global rom, which i think is there inside China only hacked rom and the first thing I did was to flash EU firmware and set it up as a regular global xiaomi phone. To me the screen refresh rate, camera , sound and voice is a major step up from what I was using. For a flagship around 1k, this is a wonderful best buy that I won't probably run into someone with the same phone around my area.

Accessibility services sometimes "stop working" and need to be restarted, that's about the only issue I've run into.
I'm just a casual photo taker, however so far I have found that the consistency in cameral quality was better with the mi ultra 11
Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct thread for this. But I am wondering if your device's RAW file format for photos does not exceed or is normally 10Mb and below?
I normally post-process my shots and purchased this phone mainly because of its camera. However, I am blown by how low the margin I can edit the images on this device. I have an old mi10 pro, and a ROG6 device, and the RAW photos I'm getting out of those devices are above 50MB. The photos I shot out of this device are normally highly saturated even after turning of lica vivid. so my option is to post-process.
Is this something that can be resolved via software update or is this a hardware limitation? TIA!
So let me ask you one more question about camera. I have seen the dozens of video on youtube about camera. Is 12s ultra's camera really competeble with Iphone 13 or 14 series?

its hard to give you a straight answer as camera quality comes to personal preference.

The iPhone gives the most natural looking, clean picture in my experience. android devices tend to go more into "beautification" hence over saturation, over exposed, etc photos. to fix this, you can shoot with raw format and then post process.
but yeah, it all depends with the person looking at the picture.
going back to my question about RAW photos with this phone . this is the first time i ever encountered a device with a very low RAW image quality. the standard photos is more clear, you can basically do nothing with its raw image.
I'm using thor 13.0.1.1 rom, i just want to check with others if they are having the same issue. or will changing rom fix this?
is it just me or is there no way to turn off the alarm when the alarm clock goes off using the native miui clock app? I even set the volume buttons to dismiss the alarm but nothing. Have to reboot phone to turn off alarm
i'll just download the google clock app
