Is it me or is netflix not that clear. Important watching via wifi and it seems to have tiny squares. Also the buttons stay lit up they won't turn off. Is there anyway to turn it off while netflix is running?

Buttons can be turned off via screen filter in market...bad quality is due to bad internet connection. Try moving closer to router or not covering up the bottom of your phone with your palm

I can confirm this, even youtube video look better than netflix for some reason
I was watching Netflix earlier, and I noticed lines, very faint but still there, in the whole movie...
Weird.

I have noticed this problem too from the very first day I got the phone. Netflix quality is miserable with very low resolution... it's not the internet connection speed (WiFi 30Mbps), and the WiFi signal is not being blocked or anything (did a Speedtest).
It's not the phone either, I had it replaced 4 times when I was trying to get one with good screen (I didn't, just gave up).
This problem is also present while streaming flash videos. The strange thing is that if you download the flash video (same one with the bad quality), and play it from the phone (using the built-in videos app), the quality is fine.
It's as if the video is not being smoothed when upscaled and played. I could see that very clearly when comparing the flash playback with the downloaded file; like a shirt collar for ex.
Maybe the built-in app uses some different method of playing videos?
+1 Netflix looks better on my g2x and my hd7 what's up with that lol

I can think of several reasons...
1.) We do not have netflix hd.
2.) Large screen with piss poor resolution.

I think those lines are the same lines that people complain about when the screen brightness isn't up all the way. But video sucks, now that you guys mention it about flash video on the web i have come to notice that also.

Does anyone know if there is a Netflix app or version that has decent video quality? I was so excited to get it back when, but the video quality or lack there of drives me crazy and I can't even watch it.

That's the way Netflix works. It works that way even on other devices like the PS3 or Roku. The point is to get it on your screen as quickly as possible, and then as the buffer fills more, it improves the quality.

That's funny, i've never let it go long enough to see that. I just get inpatient and use my hulu plus. I have been using hulu plus since July and it is high quality right from the start so I just assumed it was a problem with Netflix. Thanks, you made my day!

Quality is usually adjusted on the fly but being a phone that in portrait only has 480 lines of resolution I wouldn't expect it to offer streaming 720P plus anyways. Watching on Wifi or good 4G should come up great but bad connections and 3g it will come out overly compressed.
Resolution is one issue and bitrate is another. The bitrate is adjusted based on connection speed to prevent buffering.

You probably won't on such a small screen but its the only solution that I can give to the question. Our screens aren't even HD anyway.

Using tubemate I can notice the difference between 480 all the way to 1080 easily and even on he fastest wifi there's no difference between the settings in android app
A big difference in ps3 app tho
I wish ps3 and android Alps had very own settings for quality like hulu plus apps do

Agreed. I think that netflix looks great on our screen considering the size. Definitely have to stream over wifi, sprint just isn't fast enough otherwise. Perhaps going over 3g is leading to poor display quality
I'm posting this here because I don't think its a rom specific question. If I'm recording something and turn my phone sideways and then watch the recorded video, I notice the video its self turns sideways at the point I turned the phone sideways. It there anyway to change a setting or perhaps a app that will stop that from happening?

Weird I had to actually shoot some video to get what your saying. From what I gather that program locks keeps the angle of the video when you start it. Camera ICS+ does the same thing. I not sure if there is a fix. I will try a couple of others programs and reply back.

So I'm watching a video (expanded to full screen) on the stock browser at night in a dark room when the screen times out.
I can't find any way of switching the screen timeout off, and have to resort to setting the time to maximum and having to reopen the screen and restart the video every 10 minutes.
There has to be a solution to this annoying problem? Please?

Is smart stay enabled or is it just not working on the dark room ? If smart stay is not working then you can just pull out the s pen from it's holder or hover with the s pen instead of closing the video.

Not saying watch video can confirm the screen burn issue..just saying maybe it can cause life span of screen burn become short..but definately amoled screen can not avoid it..

Fair enough, but there is "no issue."
Why have this phone if you don't use it? Besides, full screen is probably one way to AVOID burn in.
What are you even talking about?

Yes, this avoids the screen burn. Screen burn only happens because some of the led's are used more than others which is why some degrade faster which results in varying color contrasts. Using full screen almost all the time however, uses all of the led's, thus all of them will degrade at a slightly similar rate and the change of color contrast would not be as noticeable to the common eye.

If you mean stock internet browser it will time out don't know why I streamed hell in a cell last week had the same issue doesn't happen on any other phone I know of just this one...I had to stretch the screen so it looked full screen and it stayed on strange I know

I'm having the same problem not sure why there would be this problem considering no phone for the last 4 years have had this problem. Terrible overt sight by Google/Samsung. Really interested if some one finds the solution to this.
Use Profile Scheduler from the play store it lets you set up a profile with a setting for screen time out never option. Thats the only reason I use it. I listen to alot of music in my truck and it keeps the musoc player from going to sleep.
Screen time out issue is only when watching flash enabled videos in browser.
Reason : Flash is not supported in Jellybean officially,
So just using flashplayer.apk will not rewrite screen timeout settings in system files.
And, smart stay doesn't work in dark room with lights off.

Download "Screen on" from playstore.
Check the application ie Internet for stock browser and then check enable.
I can't seem to upload the video, pics only it seems, but it looks like its shifting left and right quickly while the video remains smooth. Like the player is going nuts or something.

It happens on mine only when the antishake is ENABLED. It's driving me crazy.

I talked to Samsung about it and they said it could be a software error and they want me to send it in for repairs. The shaking only happens when Anti-Shake is ON and it makes the video hard to watch, it kind of looks like a small earthquake.
