Is there a way to make this stay on full time for enhancements to the phone as a whole?

When does it "switch off"?

Only works for photos and videos, but my thought is it would make home screen and everything else look better.

Really?
I think it improves everything.

Every review i have read states differently, but again that was when phone first came out so i could be wrong now.
Edit: if you go to settings, under dismay it states improves photos and videos. Doesn't ay anyhing about other areas.

Also never seen this before but if I hold the video area as if saving this pops up.

Here is an idea. Have you emailed youtube (the people behind it) and see if they took that option away in the last update? Or it could be a bug they need to fix.
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App
No but I searched and either my wording or no one has has this issue. Was fine after latest update then all of sudden gone.. ill roll back updates and see if that helps. Will email YouTube people too.

I've noticed when I play another movie first (making sure that it doesnt lag) for a few minutes then play Avengers afterwards, then it doesnt lag.
I'm completely stock as well and having lag, also I can't get the pop up video feature to work with this movie

I've turned sync off. Airplane mode. Cleared cache. Killed all tasks and it still lags! Crazy crazy. Because I couldn't watch it I ended up renting it on vudu. Great movie. First time ever watched it.

I think a lot of people have been getting bad downloads. It took me 7 downloads to get the one that doesn't lag.
I downloaded from, hub but I don't know where it downloaded to. I would like to move it to my ext sd card unless it's already there. Also mine lags too wifi on.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Thats weird, mine plays just fine, downloaded it once from the hub and has played flawlessly, even if i skip to different parts of the movie. My phone is completely stock.
Turn wifi on fixed lag for me strange
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Media hub downloads to the internal sd and in order to see it you need to enable to view hidden folders
the folder name will be
.SamsungMediaHub
there will be a series of folders but the file will be a pyv file type.
My take on laggy video play is if it's HD or if it's SD. In my opinion the phone has a big screen but it's not big enough to distinguish between SD and HD. The phone has to struggle a little bit more to be able to play a video file that's HD and nearly 3GB (my computer even struggled with that let alone a phone)
The SD version is about 1.7 or 1.8 gb and I haven't had any lag issues on my phone while watching it.
That's all personal opinion and your entitled to shoot it down but it's all sensible

Same here, just got done watching it and worked flawless! Awesome movie!

How do you enable the option to see hidden folders? Can it be done through root explorer. Also I downloaded both hd and sd but it doesn't give the option to pick which one to play so I assume it's hd playing since it's lagging.

Data has sporadic freezes

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

No issues like that on mine. Data seems to always be smooth.

Sounds like a hardware issue. My iPhone 4S had this issue and my replacement was perfect.
Iam gettting that on xda too. I am using dagr8 rom.

Is there any apps that can run a ping test or something so I dont keep eating up massive amounts of data testing this thing when im having outages
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
Try fing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.
I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app

Facebook

The big update finally hit android users. It's way faster. !!!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Doesn't seem any faster at all. I can't tell one bit of a difference. I have a 25 mbit connection and it still takes ages to load photo albums. Still a horrible app.

Idk dude every update that Facebook claims to be "faster" and have "less battery consumption" just seems like bull. It sucks battery no matter what and the app is no faster and completely identical to the mobile site. In fact if you just set your profile to send email notifications it notifies you on everything instantly

I have no problem with this, cause I'm one of the few that don't have a Facebook. I know I'm strange

Supposedly the app is a complete rewrite to be Android native...Testing it for myself...I've been a big fan of FriendCaster Pro, so I hope they took a few notes from them
I love the new ui. No problems on my end

Make sure you're using the default browser and not a 3rd party app.
