Youtube Buffering Issues - Galaxy Tab 7.7 General

More often than not youtube buffers like crazy, I've updated to the LP8 fireware etc but still have the problem. I'm referring to the stock youtube app of course.
...and it looks like LP8 is still dropping the wifi from time to time
Anyone having the same experience? Might put my Sammy up on ebay at this rate, what's the point if the basics dont work

Have your ran a test at speedtest.net to see about your ping and speeds ?
buffering is typically a bandwith problem, does it do the same on 3G ?

Yes but that doesn't proof anything, there could be a problem between the tab and the router.....
however if you get these ping and speed values from the tab then it looks more a memory problem.
you could try and clear the ram in taskmanager prior to run youtube and see if it helps ???

[Q] Low DL Speeds, Increased UL Speeds after DI18 Update...

Ever since I downloaded the new update (DI18) this morning, I cannot get good download speeds, but my upload speeds have greatly increased. Any ideas? Here is some proof...If someone could give me a clue of what the problem could be, that would be great.
I tried to insert the pictures of speedtest.net results, but since I'm new, it won't let me.
I've had crazy results like 97kbps down and 702kbps up?!?
my download has remained the same while the upload increased
Between 900 and 1200 down and 400 to 700 up depending on signal strength. I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago.
Sent from my Epic 4g
I had same problem, I rebooted the phone and all seems fixed now
Sent from my Epic 4G
All seems normal after OTA update, loving the increased upload speeds.
I was getting like 650s up and about the same or worse down. Very laggy net and things would time out frequently. 600 or 700 was the best down I could get even with full signal strength. I flashed the previous release and all went back to normal. Up was between 100 to 200 and down was 1.5 or better. I guess I prefer better down. I guess if when it gets pushed to me officially, and things act like that, I will go back to 06. Really looking forward to 2.2 and the improvements it offers.
Downstream speeds are exactly the same or better for me. My update was pushed OTA. Is everyone waiting for the GPS to resolve completely before testing? It seems to affect speed, this happened with my Evo, and seems to still be the case with the Epic.
Right now I'm getting 6.24 mpbs download and 1.13 upload on 4g is that good?

Dude why are you complaining this is by farrrr the best phone right now....and a few months down in developement imagine how much better it will be i still am in awwww with a 2.1 rom if you have so many complains take your phone back.
Didn't see any slow download speeds on my 3g are >1000 and uploads >150. So I'm fine over here. Go outside or somthing, this could deal with your location.
And even before this update my phone perfformed fine on all radios.(less upload of course)

The guy asked a question.
My downloads since the update here at home on 3g has never been above 400k/sec
That's pretty weak isnt it?
Also my uploads since the fix have ALWAYS been faster! Which is neat, but man.
hmm maybe something is wrong with your phone bro if your getting that on 3g..didnt know it was that low

I just did a test w two bars of 3 g and dl speed was 400 and up speed 70 ? On wifi it was 600 dl and 147 up the update made my phone slower is that possible wtf
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I just downloaded the speedtest net version and
got 550 dl and 250 upp and wifi 680d 450up
I get 500-1000 down consistently and up to 700 at times up.
I do remember pre update going over 1000 down was very common and pushing 2000 wasn't out of the question either.
While not complaining my downstream did take a hit but with the nature of networks and cell towers it could simply be not phone related. If it's the same a few weeks or so from now I would consider it phone related. (Unless someone can run side by side tests with another phone). 4G is still blazing fast though.

I'm just wondering. Are you noticing slower download speeds or are you just going by the speed test programs?
You can tell the difference in just browsing. There used to be a not so dramatic difference between 3g down and 4g down. At work. 2000 down on 3g wasn't uncommon at all.. I get full bars here all day long on 3g. Just running a speed test on a server 12 miles away I got 649 down with full strength. Tried different server, the same. At home the results are worse. So yeah you can notice the difference between 500-1000 down(average is 700 with good signal) and 1000-2000 down without speed tests.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Let me add also. Speed tests down before the update the needle on the meter was fluid and smooth in movement. Now it seems to be rigid and make sudden jerky shifts in speed like there is some kind of random packet lose.

Slow then Fast Graphics v. Games & Desktop

Witnessed something rather strange a few times so I thought I would ask if anyone else has seen it and what does it mean?
Set up Fast & Furious Adrenaline and was excited to see what it looked like - it loaded up and i began to drive through the level - I was very disappointed as it was very choppy and dropping frames - then, after almost a minute of play when I was about to turn it off it began running full FPS and looked awesome - i was pleasantly relieved but didn't understand the delay ...
I also experience this on the desktop frequently, I have a mario coinbox widget that sometimes I click (usually to adjust audio volumes before I enter certain programs) and sometimes when clicking it it runs in slow motion (i'm not aware of anything running in the BG that would cause this) and is later fine.
Additionally I had installed the mario live wallpaper (freaking awesome!) and went to show it to an iPhone fanboy - of course, when enabled it went in slow motion dropping tons of frames - then after about 1 minute it began to run full FPS without issue.
Is this a memory issue where memory is being realocated to perform operations or does the GPU take this long to throttle up? can't wait for root to adjust things like this ...
On another note I installed PSXDroid and FF7 runs OK but the sound is pretty choppy - I'm thinking it may have to do with the slow stock Class 2 SD, so I'm in the midst of replacing it with my old G1 Class 6 8GB
Could the SD be the problem the whole while
Certainly hope so! Do try out the faster card and report to us the outcome!
I noticed the same thing when looking at www.espn3.com over wifi... the connection and audio was fine but the video was very choppy... and then all the sudden the video would be smooth.
FF7 is barely playable with sound on this Vibrant handles it much faster.

yeah ... I just updated PSX4Droid from 1.4 to 1.5 and I'm seeing about the same performance in FF7 ... (using a .bin image - are you using the same or .img? or something else?)
I want to say that after moving everything over to the Class 6 I am seeing better performance with: MarioLive Wallpaper & F&F Adrenaline - however no improved performance on FF7 in PSX Emulator (I'm guessing it's optimized for motorolla procs and not snap-dragons is all?)
How come it takes 5 mins to pull everything off of the SD and about 30mins to put it all back btw?
If your having issues with FF7 try this version of psx4droid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801633
ff7 ran fine for me? all i did was just buy the version from the market.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFnmU2L1JHw
i'm using psx4droid 1.1 and it runs everything great. i do think that the gpu is probably alittle slow when increasing it's clock speed. might be the lag your looking at.. or i heard they had driver issues with the live wallpapers for opengl. and the devs for those apps were looking into the issues. something about a nasty hole in the drivers. dont' quote me though

new Flash Update in market dont get excited

dont get to excied with the newest update from adobe flash, everything still lags and no changelog included
i thought the latest version of honeycomb was supposed to enable hardware acceleration for flash? Seems no different to me or maybe flash adverts run smoother..had a Toshiba folio which was running 2.2 back in November last year. Flash seems to have not really improve since then. To be honest I am getting sick of waiting and wonder if this is down to limitations of the tegra chip again? I want to be able to watch BBC I player in HD. Just stutters. Definately think if the frame rate improved it would look amazing on the transformer. Standard play black looks very pixelated. Ipad performance in term of playback is miles better on the Iplayer site (know the BBC would of optimised performance for the ipad) whole point of having flash on a tablet is sites like Iplayer should run smooth without special support.
i dont have laggy flash...?

Have you tried maximizing the screen?
weird... i don really have much laggy experience with flash since HC update...
then again, maybe the site i visit doesnt have that much flash
Have i tried maximising the screen? Yes it makes playback even worse lol. Flash is pants, works for adverts and SD video if you are lucky again thought 3.1 was going to enable harware acceleration. Are my expectations to high to expect smooth HD video performance of flash on utube and BBC I player.....

Hmmmmm. Most posts I have read disagree. You Tube only works smoothly via the app. I player is smooth but only when watching Sd video. If you try and stream anything HD it falls over.. You have to change the settings in your browser to appear as a desktop otherwise the bbc website defaults to mobile and all content is standard definition. Things like the BBC HD channel won't even be listed. Sorry the other person who posted that flash performance on the Asus was just as good as their desktop must have a poo PC........

The test video does not load. I have a 30 mb broadband connection but it is only showing just over 3mbps for utube speed average and my connection to the router is 72 mbps which i thought is fairly good. May have a quick play with my wireless router.
For those with flash lags, what site(s) is this happening on? I'd love to test them out. Flash has been quite solid, but it's not working on the browers I use (Firefox, Opera, etc.).

No lag here.
There's no lag with 420p were getting lag with 720p wich was supposed to be fixed in 3.1 and it was clearly not
Well i read this could be an issue with my ISP virgin media. However, not sure how likely this is my PC performance with both youtube and iplayer is excellent. Unless this is a specific issue with android and my router which is possible. Sorry can I check again can anyone in the uk access BBC Iplayer with watchable playback in HD? Could be a wider issue with some types of routers. Anyone getting more than a 72mbps connection speed to their router.

Click on any of the videos. My TF will not play any of them without stuttering and macro-blocking.
My biggest disappointment with my 3.1 TF is that it does not play flash videos properly, via any of the browsers.

I see what you mean. For that site, I would either have to say the problems are coming from the unconventionl player they are using or perhaps the streams are coming from overseas.
Does that page play well on a computer?

NetFlix on EOS4 91

Since I can't post on the other forum, I'll post here.. Netflix runs OK, but jitters and freezes a bit at the start of whatever show you are watching.
After the show, if you click on the netflix button (upper left corner), the app just closes, and puts you back at your launcher screen.
No error message or any other message is shown. You can re-launch the app, and it opens and plays just like the 1st try. However, again, once you're done watching, and wish to try another show, it will automatically close.
EOS4 JB 91 with 80 lidpatch
I tested Netflix on my tf101, I'm running B134 with kernel 80b lidpatch. I don't have any kind of problems like you mentioned. Maybe try and reinstall Netflix? Can you stream from other apps ok, like YouTube?

not tired anything else.. I just Netflix a few shows the other night..
Now, I forgot to say, I had my tab upside down as well.. (the power cord point out the top). And the unit is not docked.. Just holding it in my hand
I have seen this as well (both the jitters and crash on returning to main screen) the jitters do seem to be depending on what show im watching meaning some worse than others but as sttovo has said latest preview rom 136 andd lidpatch 80B seem to have resolved the jitters part. still closes on return to show listing for me tho. am wondering if this is a app problem tho as this only started for me after last app update.
Still jitters here on the preview. And closes on return.
This is a full wipe then reinstall everything. Not a backup type move to the newest rom

Oh yeah, that could be part of it. I'm OC'ed to 1504 on smartassv2 and SIO, my Antutu scores are in the 7700 range. Same Antutu test at 1000 gives 5500. I remember the Time Warner Cable app was sluggish for me too. Overclocking fixed it.
Good luck, and try overclocking to 1504.

Still getting jitters at startup, but after 2 mins or so, its gone... Then, on return to main selection screen, it still closes.
I've also tired setting my TF101 to the 1504 setting, and didn't notice much difference. Must be a issue with netflix and JB..

Hot Spot is CRAZY Slow

Have any of you noticed how slow the Hotspot functionality is? I am on Verizon and earlier with nearly a full LTE signal I was only getting .23 Mbps download and .03 Mbps Upload as tested on Speedtest.net. Web Pages were taking forever to load. Has anyone else experienced these issues. I'm going to try it again at home to see if it was just the area I was in, but I did have great signal strength on my phone.

Holy cow, that's crazy! Are you on Verizon? I have never seen speeds like that on LTE where I'm at. Here is my at home speed, and I'm happy with this.
I've experienced this. It's intermittent. When it's happening it's dirt slow. Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes it doesn't... but it's never as fast as my Droid Maxx's hotspot used to be.
I'm on Verizon, grandfathered unlimited data, and never had any issues tethering from this phone or any other. At times my 60 MBPS home wifi gets congested so we use our phones to pick up the slack.

I also notice that when i connect a device on the hot spot there is no notification that indicates that a connection is established. Is it specific to Android stock ? On my M7 i could view all the connections opened.
