youtube player app from blackstone is playing video baldy with the generic UK R2A ROM. Very sluggish and lags a lot. Never had this problem with any of the ROMs i used before. Note that the video playback is good with this ROM, its just youtube videos on "high quality" with the youtube app play very slow and lagy.
I tried to re-install the app, not luck. Still videos play bad.
Any thoughts?
Guys anyone with the new generic UK ( or any R2A ROM) can atleast try youtube videos (on high quality please) and report?
would like to know if this is a problem with my phone or is it the ROM.
I reflashed generic UK ROM again (yes reflash, not hard reset) but still facing the same lag playing HD videos.
ive got the same lag while playin HQ videos with the new r2a swedish fw

Same here I'm using I'm rom new one
if you're with Vodafone UK, they say there's problems with gootube traffic currently and they're planning on changing something on their network to resolve it. if it's wifi/non-VF-UK, then i've no idea.
i'd try it myself, but mine's off for repair. using an N73 in the interim. grim.
It lags when using WiFi and High Quality Youtube here.
As long as the video loads, it lags very much and as soon as the file is fully loaded it runs smooth.
Are you guys/girls having problems with Internet access?
Opera Mobile/RSS hub has no problems connecting, but PIE remains forever on "Searching" (and never really pulls the website). The same is the case with Gmail using Pocket Outlook (IMAP/POP3). Thank goodness for Opera Mobile otherwise I would have gone back to R1A.
What I'm getting at, is maybe it's something to do with the DNS lookup/download routines? Is anyone else having the same problem?

This I dunno, because I never tried youtube with the old ROM.
But it's very annoying. I would let it load completely before watching but it seems that the video won't completely load before you start watching it -maybe there is a buffer size that has been set too little?
Yesterday night, I wanted to show a few music video to my girlfriend (no, it's NOT the best thing I know to do in bed ) but first it won't load completely and after a few seconds it started lagging. Then I had to pause it to let it load a little more.
^^lol. watching desktop youtube vids on opera is smoother. video plays smooth even when its still loading.
I also have lag in the youtube app since the r2a Dutch Rom
Anyone has a solution?
I have lag with R2A generic UK too.
Plays fine once the whole video is loaded.
It's choppy here too. Generic UK R2AA.
I've been playing a lot with the registry settings but there does not seem to be any difference no matter what I do.
I did manage to find one useful setting though; Set 'DisplayThroughput' = 1 and you can see the kBytes/s transferred in the titlebar when playing a video.
so is everyone saying that the upgraded rom is not as efficient at playing youtube as the old rom? or is it about the same?
i really dont watch you tube on my xperia but just curious. i got an x1a with the original firmware and for what i use it for, ive had no problems with it (bluetooth, wifi, phone calls, connections, gps) and so upgrading would be like pointless for me or not worth taking a chance to upgrade and be disappointed.
^^yes. video playback on the youtube app is laggy when its not fully loaded. def not the same.
Nothing wrong with mine. NAM rom, YouTube from the manilla cab.
Got the same problem, thru WIFI-connection. A friend says his is good but he goes thru turbo3g. Could it be a wifi-error?
It's the same on HSDPA here, so it's not necessarily a wi-fi problem. I did try with 3G only, and it does play a lot better, but not 100 % smooth as when the video is fully downloaded. (Additionally, HQ over 3G is not usable.)
It looks kind of like video on a windows computer without a display driver installed (default VGA windows driver installed). Choppy and laggy as hell. This may be connected to the same issue in video playback, where the Xperia has problems playing videos that should play smoothly. It may be some sort of I/O problem - prioritizing or the like.
We have to remember that Youtube is made for HTC devices, not 100 % Xperia X1. There may be some hidden issues there. Let's hope SE comes up with their own YT panel or app.
I flashed back to the old ROM for now, until someone fix this problem. Youtube is kinda important for me

Use coreplayer YouTube seems fine
I've been having problems recording video on my droid 1. It will record the video fine but when i play it back it looks distorted. It looks as though a portrait type ratio is stretched to fit landscape and vice versa when i rotate it.
I;ve had this problem on both PE v6.5 and Peter Alfonso's GPA builds.
The only time it seems to work ok is when I use an old froyo MIUI (1.3.11 to be exact)
I want to say its the actual video camera app that has the problem, but I'm not too sure. I tried downloading Qik Video Recorder and that seems to work ok, but id rather use the regular vid camera app.
Going to try to explain this... When I'm using the stock Camera app, the picture is normal. But when I switch to Camcorder, it seems to be automatically zoomed in quite a bit. And when I try to zoom out, it says that since I'm recording in HD, zoom functions are not available.
This is kind of annoying because now I have to step back probably 5 feet to fill the same frame of when I was taking photos.
Is this normal for everyone else too? Or do I have some weird glitch on my unrooted and pure stock ROM?
Yep, mine does it too (stock rom). It only does that in FullHD resolution. I guess the only use middle part of the sensor to read the data to achieve greater speeds, and thus it's gonna be a hardware limitation.
Who need HD anyway ? The lens hardly catch with it. I record 720x480 and I'm very pleased with teh quality.
Change the video recording resolution in the settings pane to 1280x720 and that should fix your problem.

Yeah I noticed that.
But that doesn't make sense. In photo mode, same resolution as video mode but in video mode it's zoomed in. Like Dr. Sid said, it seems that it uses a smaller section of the image sensor to capture video. Which again doesn't make sense. Weird.
This is definetly a speed optimization - scaling down the whole resolution of camera sensor from 3264*2448 -> 1080p is much more expensive operation than just cropping the central pixels, i assume someone at samsung was VERY lazy to have done the camcorder mode in such a lame way, it's still ok for recording outside scenes but useless for in-room recording.
I find this quite annoying also. At first I was wondering if it is a ROM glitch or something, since some of the people here stated that even in stock ROM it is present also.
I hope there is some kind of patch to this, full HD recording is really awesome and I hate to see the 'zoomed' effect.
Yeah noticed the same thing just last night.. Seems to also affect the camera's ability to focus properly in video capture mode as well... Shame on them, I wish I had noticed this sooner.
Hi all, I have found a problen with the video cam on the note 4. When I try to move while capturing video, the video jumps/skips. Please look at thw attached video.
I have tried saving video on the built on memory but still the same result. Also tried differwnt settings and resolution to no avail. Anyone else have the same issue?

Youtube video:
I guess Im the only one with this problem....
op updated with a youtube video. You can see the jumping strating from the middle of the video...
Just to update this thread for future reference, I have returned the phone and got a replacement N910C (instead of F). This new one has no problem with camera etc..
When playing 1080p60 Youtube videos, they freeze but the sound continues. Moreover, if you either a) constantly tap the video b) constantly scroll comments c) have stats for nerds shown, the video plays fine.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Thanks!
hello, yes I have the same problem with mine. Even With 6.0.1 firmware
No problem for me ! Stock 5.1.1 and latest YouTube app fullscreen or not, smooth as butter !

Could you please, for example, try the video named "Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster in the rain on-ride HD POV @60fps" (unfortunately, newbies are not allowed to post links).
Does it work for you?
I've found your (Nice) vidéo and it played normally, just 2 or 3 micro lag at the begining ! YouTube app version 11.23.56 on internal memory don't know why it freeze for you :-/
Things are getting worse after updating to Marshmallow - now even 1080p50 videos freeze (the were not freezing before). Any 1080p60 video is just unwatchable.
Hi, i got the same problem. And the same phone. I dont know how to fix
