I'm currently located in New York running CDMA Galaxy Nexus with ~ -80 db.
Why is it that when I try to play HQ videos on Youtube, it is always buffering. Does anyone else have this issue?
BTW, ran a speed test and I'm getting about 2.5megs down on average, so its not like I have a bad connection.
Not sure. I watched the video where the FedEx driver threw that Samsung monitor over that guys fence with no buffer...lol.
cool. would be nice if anyone in my area is having issues with youtube videos loading.
Depends on your location and the quality of the signal. There are places where I get full bars of 4G and 30+ mbps and places where I'll only get 1 or 2 and much less .. how many bars do you have?

actually, that is kinda bad i have a -107 connection on LTE and i get 7.5
the 2 range sounds like 3g to me, you might be in a bad area =/

i said 2.5 megs down, thats 25Mbps...
i see, then maybe an issue with the youtube server?
the numbers from speed test are reliant on the server your connecting to
Are you speaking Mbps? Because 2.5Mbps isn't that fast. What exactly is the speed test showing?
Edit: I mean that that to say you shouldn't be buffering with 25Mbps.

could be a youtube issue, application side.
i had buffering issues on my original gnexus as well (replaced original as it had a dead pixel this morning at verizon store).

FYI, 2.5MB/s = 25mbps.
Yeah, thats why I'm on the phone with them. I have faster internet on LTE than my home internet connection yet I am unable to buffer HQ videos...

Not that matters but your conversion is wrong. 8bits in 1byte so 2.5MB/s = 20mbps (or 25mbps = 3.125 MB/s).
so none of you guys are having any buffering issues with HQ youtube clips?

It depends. Some use 10:1 to cover overhead, and in some forms of data communications there's a start bit and a stop bit in each packet, making it 10bits per byte.
Generally, those who divide by 10 (I do) are ball parking an estimate, not giving you exact figures.
YouTube runs and looks beautiful on my lte gnex
Im in NY on the LTE Nexus and the highest dl speeds I got were in the 30s. No buffering problems, not even on 3g
FYI, are you guys watching Youtube videos in HD? You need to do that in General Settings - Enable HQ
Went up to tier 2 with VZW CSR, they can't resolve the issue. Opened a trouble ticket with them. Hopefully the next update will resolve the issue, if not, its going to have to be returned.
I'm pretty disappointed with the Nexus release. Along with the display defect, Samsung could have done a better job of Quality Control.
I was at a verizon store and noticed the YouTube HD buffering. Speedtest was 25+ mbps download, but it buffered every few seconds, wtf!?
Funny thing is that I am noticing buffering at home too, on Verizon FIOS. Is there something wrong with YouTube these days?

i think its a youtube application issue. they should probably update it. hopefully the new radio update will resolve buffering issue as well.
Could just be Youtube too... I get this all the time on the desktop version too.
I just want to make people aware that the game Gun Bros has a small issue and I think it's related to connection speed.
Before the deathmatch update I had no issues running the game at 60fps with very few minor frame rate hiccups.
Now after the deathmatch update, the game lags really bad. But I noticed that if you have your wi-fi or 4G on, the game runs at 60fps like it did before the update.
I've tested this on my phone and that seems to be the case. When using 3G it lags, but wifi or 4g it works fine. I was unable to test this on another device because i don't have another.
If someone else has this game, and the deathmatch update, could you please test. This was driving me crazy.
Hope this information is helpful.
How do you like it stock vs rooted? If there's any other Epic 4G Touch owners who switched, was it worth it? I've been having awake issues, GPS issues, and screen flickering between apps occasionally so I think I should change phones haha. I've rooted but it hasn't helped.
Edit: Also how's battery life stock vs rooted and the biggie for me, what is gps like? Outside it can take anywhere from 15 seconds to never for me to get a lock and I use the navigation a lot. I will miss the camera though
Aka epic4gtouch
The gs2 and epic 4g touch are 2 different phones actually.. There's the gs2 and then the gs2 epic 4g touch. Anyways, much better. Go into general and scroll through the team Kernelizers thread and look at battery life and screen on time.
Sprints Galaxy s2 was called the Epic 4g Touch. Identical to US Cellulars version. But my battery on my S3 is better the my Epic 4g Touch was.

when is the e4gt not considered to be a gs2? answer: never. everyone knew exactly what phone he was talking about.
I rooted my S3 and am running Sons of Android – Jedi X - Build 4. Majority of my battery use is the screen, and I average about 1 day and 2 hours on a full charge. I don’t really use battery-heavy apps though, mostly browser, and am on Wi-Fi about 85% of the charge while at school and at home. I have set my Wi-Fi to turn off when my screen turns off as well.
I’m not sure how this compares to the S2 though.
I have fairly poor WiFi where I live to begin with.. But my OP3 gets half the download speed of my iPhone 5s and the 5s actually loads pages and videos faster than it.. Is there any way I can improve the speed of the WiFi? Could an update fix this, or a custom ROM?
