N.O.Wifi.A 3 help

Pardon if this is the wrong area.
OK so ever since N.O.V.A. 3 came out for iPad I have been addicted to it and be live it or not till now I never did play the story mode only played the multi player. Anyways have been dreading to get it on my Galaxy note and finally got it a few days ago and when I try to play multi player, the game just lags. It is slow and takes for ever to just turn or move and run and fly shoot when playing in my note and before I know it someone has already shot me. I don't think its my phone as when I tried the normal story mode it runs just fine.
Than I realised it also works fine when playing online but the lags happen when playing in a crowded area, as in if there are 4 or more players in the round when we start shooting each other the game lags for me. I never had this issue on my iPad at all so I don't know what's up. My wifi on my phone never is full, even as I type now its 2 bars and not full so I did Google this issue and how to increase wifi strength but didn't get any answers. So my issue if anyone can help is how do I improve the wifi strength though I don't know if the with is the issue why the game lags when there are more than 4 players in the game together. So any help?

Are you using Chainfire mod?
You may need to O/C the phone

Works fine here. You'll have to flash a new modem if you want to fix wifi speeds, but it won't guarantee faster speeds.

Netflix playback problems.

Hello all,
I have been having an issue with video playback. YouTube is decent most of the times, but I just tried using Netflix and every 5 or so seconds the audio will skip and the video will freeze, then catch back up. Really annoying and makes for a poor experience. Is this an issue on JB or something that I can easily fix?

I've probably watched at least 20 hours of Netflix content on my N7 so far and I have not seen so much as a single hiccup.
I don't know if your issue could be bandwidth related. I have about 12.5Mbps down at home, and have also streamed via WiFi hotspot on my Verizon S3 using LTE.

Definitely not a bandwidth issue. I have 30 down FiOS. Maybe I'll try reinstalling or try a different ROM. Could be related to the kernel I have as well.

I restored to a previous stock backup and still showing the same problems. This is annoying.

Very strange. My N7 is 100% stock ... not even unlocked or rooted.
The Netflix app is reported as version 1.8.1 build 573.

Mine is back to the stock ROM and it is still acting up. Not really sure whats going on. I have rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled and doesn't change it.

Maybe a hardware defect. Is your stock ROM a clean install?

Stock ROM was a nandroid backup. I don't know if it is a hardware defect. I refuse to exchange this over something like choppy Netflix playback. Simply for the reason that my tablet is extremely solid otherwise.

Apparently it was simply my Netflix settings were too high. I changed it online from best quality to better quality and it immediately fixed my issues. No more stuttering. I still find it hard to believe though that with a 30 meg down connection it has trouble streaming HD video.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I have the choppy playback problem too. I was getting this on my Kindle Fire with ICS and doing a factory reset and reinstall (still within ICS) fixed it. I tried the same on the N7 here with no luck.
I would do the quality thing, but it seems sad I would have to degrade the playback quality on all Netflix capable devices (the iPad 2, the 47" TV, etc) just to make it work and that still wouldn't explain why the Kindle Fire running the same version, with "slower" hardware would play just dandy.
I've tried both the Amazon version (Version 1.8.1) and the Play version (Version 1.8.1. Build 573) without any difference...they might be the same version, but when I went from Play to Amazon it wanted to "upgrade" me, so I uninstalled and did the Amazon one just to test.
Pretty sure it's not bandwidth either as I have 25mb down, 5mb up.
Personally, since everything else works awesome on my N7 and I have it completely set up the way I want now (rooted, all apps installed, etc) I think I'll pass on doing any other weird stuff to get Netflix working. Hopefully they will update it and fix it (yeah...kinda blaming Netflix for this)!

(Q) Nexus 4 can't play YouTube videos?

Edit: Turning off HD makes the videos worm, but my wifi is definitely capable of streaming 720/1080p. Could it possibly be due to the fact that videos aren't in 720? Hmm..
So when using the YouTube app videos don't load. The 'Play' icon shows up, but pressing it makes the video buffer, then it shows again. Playing YouTube on my other phones works fine, so it isn't a server issue. What's up?

I've seen mention of this with the N4 and certain carriers (on data). Is this on data only, or wifi as well?

Data is fine, it's my wifi that's the problem.

I get the same problem. I have WiFi on and I try watching YouTube videos and that **** always stops to load. I don't ever remember it being this bad. I has to stop to load like 3 or 4 times in every video. I always end up turning off HD which helps but dam man. I want that HD
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I have had this for ages now - All youtube videos buffer every 4 seconds or so. The temporary fix is:
1) Force stop youtube
2) Clear data and clear cache
3) Press and hold power button for 10 seconds
4) Turn phone on, reset time/date (step 3 resets date/time)
Youtube then works for a couple of days.....
I have also tried turning off 'optimize wifi for battery life' and removing youtube updates. Neither seem to affect the problem.

Uninstall YouTube and then re-install. Ta daaaaaa.

Oh my!! Thanks guys! Finally HD. I did both of your steps and it now works in HD without constant buffering. However, I had been wondering if it was a problem with general WiFi speeds. As sometimes doing aspeedtest I would get 3mbps when I have a 12 Mbps connection.

Glad it helped.
But - it would be nice to get rid of this bug once and for all ? Are google even aware of it ? Is there a publicly available bug tracker or something we can all see ?

Slow Nexus 7..

For some reason my Nexus 7 is strangely slow lately idk why, but I want to know if anyone else has seen there Nexus 7 lagging? And if anyone knows how to speed it up? Posting screen shot of my system info.

Exactly the same here. Typing's hard work, and tapping icons or buttons can take a couple of tries before it registers. All updated and tried a reboot.

You should upgade to 4.2.2, make full wipe and start from scratch. Then you will see if lag is still there.

Try lagfix(fstrim) anyway it free and took only a few seconds to finish it's job. Even you're already have more than 5 GB free but in the old kernel seem to have a problem with nand flash controller.

Just disable auto-brightness (not joking, it works).

Simpsons Tapped Out

I'm running stock rooted and since day one with this phone, the Simpsons game has been choppy and crashes often. I've sent quiet a bit of reports once it crashes, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Mine is choppy (low frame rate) occasionally - it was more noticeable during the recent halloween event. Seems ok now since the thanksgiving update.
It does crash quite frequently though - maybe one out of every three or four sessions.

I play daily and it crashes at least once every time I play it. Used to have sgs4 I337 running gpe Roms and it wouldn't work at all. Warrantied a bad headset speaker and here I am. The new sgs4 AT&T sent me had a locked boot loader and no root android 4.3. I didn't want a galaxy phone so sold it for 400 bought the nexus 5.
Level 37 now. Same as zulugod stated was laggy with Halloween update, better now.

In 37, it does have fps lag and crashes like six times before I can assign everyone to tasks

Ok glad it's not just me. I'm hoping in the next play store update, They'll fix it or something.

Every time it crashes I send the report. So I'm sure someone will eventually take a look and issue a small patch.

I installed a different kernel and haven't had an issue yet. I'm using Francos Kernel its in the original android Dev thread. I understand that some people don't want root and modify googles pretty work but this is a fix for me.
