720p video lags on cyanogenmod 7 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

on stock desire, 720p playback on moboplayer or rockplayer, the same 720p videos were runnning smooth (only some rare very brief freeze at times) but on cyanogen using moboplayer, 720p; the video runs very very slowly and sound is totally out of sync.. what settings do i need to change to get playback as smooth as on stock rom??
edit: thought cm7 was supposed to be better than stock rom in terms of performance...

no one has this same problem?

i've had similar problem. let me say first that video recording worked great on unrooted device, then on rooted with stock rom, then on InsertCoin 2.0.1. rom, then back on stock rom (i went back with clockworkmod recovery), then again on Insercoin for a week or so...(don't ask, i did some experimenting )...
but then all of a sudden, after a full week on Insertcoin ROM, without me installing something new or fiddling around, out of the blue, video recording went loco. everything looked ok while recording but when playing video would pause every few seconds, then quickly catch on, then pause again, and so on...as if sd card couldn't catch up writing the video. but that couldn't be the case because everything worked fine before. i forgot to mention, both 720p and 800x480 recording didn't work...
i didn't try removing setcpu app and defragmenting sd card. instead i went back to unrooted stock rom and now everything works fine again. now i'm little tired to root and flash any custom rom over again. if anyone has the idea what went wrong please share...thx!

i will try defragmenting sd card. If it does not work, will switch back to stock rom. Got some other issues with cyanogenmod 7 also.... it is not as great as everyone keeps to say...

today recorded video started pausing again. i forgot to mention it earlier, but i bought new 8GB class 4 SD card and it didn't help. i don't think defragmenting will work (at least for me). it seems that this prob might be hardware related...

I had this problem on relextense hd, just figured it was the norm for the phone

i read a few threads on this issue and it seems to me that it's because of gingerbread which does not have the necessary codecs... let's just wait for official gingerbread and see if it works again...
i have tried cyanogen 7 (android 2.3) and miui (android 2.3).. in both roms 720p lags

thx for suggestions, guys. but i'm on stock froyo rom. i'll try removing some apps and see if it's related. after i flashed back stock rom it all worked fine, but now it pauses again. i removed poweramp and rockplayer but no luck. i really don't want to remove all downloaded apps all over again....any other suggestion?

720p works fine for me. Maybe hardware issue?

i have some update on the stuff. today i uninstalled all apps i've downloaded since buying the phone, including the updates to it's native gmail and facebook apps. after that, i restarted the phone and voila, video recording worked again, smooth and steady.
so i went to install all apps again, one by one, and after each one i tried video recording again. the result was that after some apps video was recorded with pauses, and after some it wasn't. so i uninstalled those apps again and tried video recording, but it didn't help. then i went to install them back again but not in the same order as the first time. again video was fine after installing some apps and not fine after the others. but, it didn't pause after installing some apps for the second time, the same apps which i have installed the first time when video was recorded with pauses. so it seems it's not app related after all.
but, after so much installing and uninstalling it became clear that video recording worked flawlessly after each phone reboot. at some point after rebooting the phone video begun to record with pauses again. after some more testing i can confirm that this occurs after installing new (any) apps. as long as i don't install anything, video will record normally. i cannot possibly imagine what can cause such behavior, but for now it seems to be the pattern. i hope it'll help some of you with the same problem. but nevertheless this shouldn't happen at all. i have sent a ticket to HTC support, maybe they'll come up with a more permanent solution.

720p video playback is smooth on your cm7? i have tried cm7 and miui (gingerbread) and 720p video is slow and out of sync with the audio

seems it's related with your sd card.. what class are you using? i think the more apps u have installed, the speed at which sd card is accessed is slower.... my 720p recording/playback is not smooth as well, i have like 60-70 apps installed (lol), that's probably why

[Q] Choppy Video Playback Until Second Time Playing?

Running stock 2.2 with Netarchy's 4.1.9 kernel.
Noticed that since 2.2 my recorded videos have been playing choppy (half the frame-rate). If I let the video play through and then start it again, it plays just fine. Even if I go back a second to a part that has been played, it plays fine.
Doubt it's an issue with the SD card because it played fine pre 2.2
Hoping someone might have an idea
My guess is, because of the new kernel, the SD card read speed isn't good enough for the bitrate of the video, and the video is being copied into the phone's RAM the first time through, and by the second time, it's in RAM, so it's nice and fast.

I think you're right, I did a wipe and flashed a fresh install + TI restore. Works perfectly fine. After flashing a different kernel it starts to screw up.

[Q] DINC choppy or laggy video after CM7 flashed.

Hello guys,
I flashed CM7 onto my DINC, and of course I cleared cache, firmware, data and everything before actually doing it.
After it came up, I began installing you tube app and such.
When I played video on it, any video played looked weird like it backtracked each second, like whatever image it played, it played it again 1 second of it and then moved on.
Very weird issue if you ask me, so I thought it was the youtube app or something, but then when I shot a video then showed it to my friends, same thing happened. So it looks like any video played on my DINC after flashing CM7, seems to be playing very bad.
Any ideas?
Running a 2.15 radio?
Yes sir, I am running a 2.15 radio. Is that bad?
Nope, it's mandatory. Which kernel, governor, and clock speeds are you running?
Allright:
Kernel: 2.6.38.8 incredikernel
Governor and clock speed: haven't changed them since I flashed this and ROM together. I also installed incredicontrol.
Would you like to do me some video recording showing exactly the lagging problem?
I may just backup everything tonight and reflash, see if that solves the problem, though I highly doubt it due to the clean flash and just starting to have that problem.

[Q] Crackle not working after ICS upgrade

Anyone else running ICS have an issue with Crackle?
I can't figure it out...
Reinstalled Crackle several times. Also reinstalled Adobe Flash. Both programs are the latest version from Play. I wiped cache, repaired permissions, etc. No dice. The application starts, but everytime I try to play a movie, the screen goes white for a second then is replaced by a blank screen. No video and no audio.
FWIW, Netflix streams just fine and Flash video works ok when using the browser or YouTube applications.
I believe Crackle worked just fine with GB but I can't recall now. Not a huge deal if I can't get it working, but it would be nice if I could.
Any suggestions?
Mine is working just fine

I too have this issue, and have not figured out what is causing it yet. Yes, Crackle does work fine with GB. However, I was thinking, but might be wrong, but it could have something to do with the Kernel version. The only reason I was thinking that is that I have stumbled across where you cannot install Crackle on a FF18 Kernel. It is just a thought.
I'm watching Crackle now! Did you factory reset after you upgraded to ICS? Install all your apps fresh from the market?

Yes, factory reset and the whole 9 yards. I downgraded to GB from a nandroid backup that I had and Crackle worked again.
I had the same problem but I just fixed it a few minutes ago. Go to the Play Store and install Adobe Air. That's it.
I did that and then opened Crackle and it works now!

A few problems with my Desire

Hello everyone. I have few problems, as far tried PA, CM7 and CM10.
1. flash videos
when using browser, I can't really use any flash player. I mean, I can see the player and the button, but when "play" is clicked there is a short blink when "play" switches to "pause" but then it comes back in 1 second and still it looks like nothing was clicked.
2. camera
when I turn on my camera, sometimes everything in preview looks like this:
i32.tinypic[dot]com/dd27fn.png
so, when I use it for a while it turns to normal but when camera restarted it comes back.
When I try to record videos, it is horribly lagging. Also, the recorded videos lag as well.
3. youtube
it is about youtube application - normally, videos play just fine. but when i tap the screen to see the video length bar it starts lagging and blinking.
4. unlock screen
so basically in normal situations the unlock screen shows up shortly after clicking the power button, as it should, but when I want to check the clock shortly after I turn the screen off (it means I click the power button twice within few seconds) it shows up after about 5 seconds or doesn't show at all
5. mSDHC
When putting things onto SD card, sometimes it says "can't find file" and it just stops. Doesn't happen when using adapter.
And sometimes the phone says "SD damaged", tried with 2 sd cards and don't know whether it's phone or card.
Please help, I'm total newbie in rooting.
You're trying new and "in progress" ROMs. If you want 100% stability, stick with gingerbread. Oxygen 2.3.2 is rock solid.
First 3 issues are present in ICS/JB ROM's only, if you want something stable stick to GB ROM's.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
These issues may be due to unstable ROMs. Use GB Roms like Oxygen or Miui and it should be fine.
Thanks! That helped.
The problem has been solved so you can close the thread.
I wrote about this problem on PA forum and nobody helped me, they didn't know what's wrong.
Now I have only problems with my SD card, but will test some other cards and eventually post a new thread soon.

All video freezes after Marshmallow update

Stock ROM, not rooted. Device worked fine before Marshmallow, now Netflix and MX Player both freeze video after approx 10 seconds of playback. Netflix customer support was no help but it really does seem to be something that Google broke with Marshmallow.

OTA or fresh install? I did a fresh install and don't have any problems.

I have the same issue with Netflix - audio streams fine but video stutters and then freezes after a few seconds. MX Player works perfectly for me though. Youtube also works fine, and I've streamed baseball games and highlights from the MLB AtBat app without issue.
I'm rooted and updated to Marshmallow using an OTA update file.
Other than the Netflix issue I find Marshmallow fantastic. Everything seems snappier and smoother. USB OTG mounting works flawlessly, even after uninstalling Stickmount. Battery drain during sleep is almost zero. I also no longer have resolution issues when outputting video using a SlimPort adapter - I used to need a ResolutionChanger app but no more.
My feeling is that the issue is with the Netflix app - it was updated for compatibility with Marshmallow but it is probably in need of further updates. Here's hoping.

Aha! Good to know. I did a no-wipe update using NRT. After trying to revert back to 5.1.1 using NRT no-wipe, I ended up doing a factory reset
I'll try to upgrade now and report back.
On my Nexus 7 the apps BBC and ESPN along with Netflix and Google Play Movies & TV are all show video issues. The video on BBC and ESPN will only show in the lowest resolution (144p), while on netflix the video stutters and stalls while audio keeps going. On Google Play movies & tv video lags but only while streaming, if I download a movie it plays fine.
I made a bug report on AOSP issue tracker #189772 I have a feel that the issue is apps not caching correctly since the update to Marshmallow.
IDK...otherwise I love Marshmallow...I miss viper.
Running
ROM: Bad Boyz Nexus 7 stock rooted v2

Sorry, Netflix is still freezing for me. However, other video services work fine.

i did a clean install. directly after flashing the 6.0 factory image, and installing the netflix app on the fresh sytem, everything works fine. even after rooting it is still working. but as i left the N7 alone for some time and then started netflix it started lagging like hell. without having canged a thing...
you need to disable battery optimising for video apps, as soon as i did that videos worked as usual.
settings, battery, three dots(top right), battery optimisation, tap not optimised then all apps, select the video apps and select Don't Optimise.
I havent tried all apps but it work for me on google movies.
Disabling battery optimization did not help for me with Netflix, unfortunately.
Same issue. Netflix freezes with marshmallow update Nexus 7 2013. Sound will continue to play, but video stutters and freezes.
Turning off battery optimization does nothing.
Any other suggestions out there other than flashing back?

There has been a recent update to Netflix (3.15.2), has this addressed the issue?
Sadly, the latest Netflix update has not resolved the issue for me. All other streaming apps have (so far) worked fine. This was after a clean flash, stock everything, and a factory reset after discovering the issue, just to make sure.
The new Netflix update didn't resolve this issue. Every other app is working as intended.
Netflix and Google Play Movies and TV still stutter and lag while espn and NBC News video will only show in the lowest resolution. MX plays fine when playing a video file on my nexus, idk about streaming. All my video issues come solely when streaming.
Same issue here. Nexus 7 on Marshmallow fresh install. Everything works but Netflix. Battery non-optimization didn't work
Just got a Netflix update and while the issue isn't entirely resolved the app stutters a lot less, to the point that I would deem Netflix to be at least marginally watchable.
It's still freezing after a couple of seconds with the new update. Archer on Netflix was running fine, but Dr Who is freezing.
Just to add to the count, Netflix borked on Marshmallow. Awful stuttering. Clean install i.e. deleted all caches etc. and started as though it was a new device.
Just got off a chat with support:
So, yes I confirmed and we are currently testing it. You should get it working once we are done

Basically they are aware of the issue and are testing a fix.
I also have a video issue, but it is different. When I watch Youtube, many times the video will freeze while the audio continues to play. I've tried FC'ing the app, restarting, etc... but the video part of the playback keeps freezing. If I let the audio play eventually all playback will stop and it will tell me that it is buffering.
This does not happen on any other device on my network... just the Nexus 7. This has been happening since Android L, and even after I did a clean install of M. Any suggestions?
same here, the new update didn't solve the problem. but at least its good to hear that netflix is working on it.
