Guys
I have had HTC phones for a long time and generally beed happy eith them .
This in not true with my new DHD.
I have alist of issues and want to know if they are hardware or software.
Rubbish speaker - much more tinny then Hero
Low volume - less the Hero
sometimes no volume
can record HD video but cant play back on phone
now video app bombs out when trying to record HD video.
HD recording is atrociuos
My girlfriend got the samsung galaxy S ( smaller hands- smaller phone)
and its much better, even plays flv
Could this be a Hardware fault or have peeps managed to resolve this with different roms?
Your help is much appreciated
The quality of the speaker is hardware caused. Nothing you can do about it expect not using it. Seriously, I think it's not meant for listening to music with it. I always use headphones or my PC to playback video.
The volume is low, I was also very disapppointed with it especially as I was almost unable to listen to audiobooks while being outside with my headphones even though volume was to 100 %. Good news is, there's a solution: Get a custom ROM like Revolution HD. It boosts the volume. I also got 16 Ohm headphones and now I have the volume down to 30 % where before 100 % wasn't sufficient.
Of course for flashing a custom ROM you need to root/s-off your phone. But there are 1-click apps for this fortunately.
And for playing flv, I never tried it but there will surely be an app that can do it. Same for HD playback.
But you have to consider, even though your girlfriend's phone plays HD the display still doesn't support HD resolutions same as the DHD doesn't. So the video will have to be scaled down. But I'm pretty sure there are apps for that problem as well.
So bottomline, the speaker quality and HD recording quality is something you have to live with. All else can be dealt with by apps/ROMs.
And if you're really not satisfied, you might consider returning the DHD and getting a Galaxy S. Both are great phones and it can well be you'll like the Galaxy more.
RockPlayer plays pretty much every format FFmpeg can decode. Sometimes it is a bit buggy though, like sound out of sync, but nothing major. I suggest you give it a try.
There are thousands of flash players on the market that can play flv.... and there is not one phone in the world with the screen resolution for HD playback. lol

I read that it won't play the HD recorded video back very smoothly because of the cheap and slow SD card they give you with the phone.
Try a faster good quality SD card, Class 6 should work better.
Hi,
I have an observation about Desire HD.
Whenever i play video for too long time or Use live streaming of some video like cricket match then mobile backside becomes overheated.
I am always forced to switch off and allow it to cool.
Is there any way to avoid overheating of Desire HD ?
Any information is appreciated.
thanks

Strange! that it's happening when you watch/steam videos...
Usually happens to me when I play Pro-Evolution Soccer 11 on it.
Never happens when I play videos though (and I play blu-ray rips - movies at times lol)
what temp r u getting?
Try underclocking the CPU
But the DHD shouldnt overheat... even when oc'd @ 1.5 GHZ (at least not so that it has to be turned off to cool down)...
It is hot only when I charge it....

+1 Is there an specific issue reason why this happens....i don't overclock
It might be a problem with the battery?
Where does it overheat? the middle, or somewhere else (Such as near the bottom of the device), and how much, if its slightly warm, its normal, if its hot (40 deg Celcius +) then it may be a problem with the battery
You should return it to warranty to get it checked out, else, if you don't have any, try changing the batteries / the charger
My DHD barely overheats at all while charging, its just pretty much cold unless used for a while, and even then, it only ever slightly heats up while playing intensive games and movies (720p)
You are describing two different problems here:
1) Overheating while watching videos
2) Overheating while streaming
Now, if overheating while watching videos from your SDcard, this means you did not optimize/convert your video for mobile. Decoding fullHD eats a lot of CPU (almost 100% use). What you can do here is re-code your video before watching. Take a look at http://handbrake.fr/
The second problem you are describing could have to do with old/mismatching Radio+RIL. What I suggest is to
- post info on your current config: what ROM, what Radio, what RIL are you running?
- search XDA for "Radio", "RIL" and read what is available and how to update.
- BEFORE you do anything, be sure to read. Take your time. For example, the RIL posted around here do not play nice with CM7 - research before you flash. I almost gave myself a heart attack yesterday, after I put on HM RIL on my CM7.1 - lost GSM radio, phone was like an iPod for a while (thank God, I fixed it)...
Cheers and happy flashing
Running Bigxies JB on my GSM Nexus with Franco's Kernel and when I run a 720p MKV on MX Player (via the software decoding of course) my Nexus gets pretty hot on the camera end of the handset. It plays the video perfectly, but the heat worries me.
1) Is this pretty common when trying to play such large files?
2) Has anybody figured out a way to play 720p MKV video on the Nexus without too much heat?

It's normal, in my opinion anyway. My phone gets hot in the same area as well (camera end). Unless the phone burns you (literally) when you touch it, it should not be a concern.

It's not THAT hot but its pretty hot. When it gets to the point that it makes the screen feel hot, that's no good.
Shame that just having the MKV container over regular h264 video would make it that hot.
I've had times where my phone would get that hot as well. Netflix sometimes creates this issue for me. I highly doubt anything is out of the ordinary.

Yeah but so hot that you worry about your phone?
It's a bit frustrating that none of the major streaming devices (Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, etc) support 24 Hz video output, and this despite indications that the video chips used by these devices are fully capable of it. It's as if no one working at Amazon, Apple, or Google care a lick about video quality and preserving the native frame rate of most films (24 fps). Hell, the Boxee Box supported 24 Hz output. From what I've heard the Roku Stick does as well, though I'd love it on a device a bit more open such as the very hackable Fire TV. Which leads me to my question; have there have been any in roads made in unlocking 24 Hz video output with the rootable Fire TV?

im at a loss here, what is the problem? i have seen a wide variety of video formats and have yet to have a single problem. i assume the firetv is running at 60hz? i may be wrong but that means it can play anything from 1 to 60 hz smoothly. so whats the big deal? if anything running a higher hz would mean a smoother animation?

no offense, but I was actually going to make a comment in my original post along the lines of, "if you don't know what 24 Hz output (24p) is or why it's important, then don't bother responding". Obviously nothing against you personally, it's just that I've seen 24hz/24p related threads on other forums (Plex, Roku, etc) and they quickly get sidetracked into an explanation of its benefits and why it's important. Google is your friend for that.
But just to summarize, most movies (and even many modern TV shows) are filmed at 24 progressive frames per second. When outputting a native 24 Hz video at 60 Hz, the device must fill in the gaps to "magically" create 60 frames/second out of just 24. And since 60 is not an even multiple of 24, the process is far from ideal. This results in judder or non-smooth playback, which is most noticeable during slow panning scenes (can also be seen quite easily on scrolling credits). If you find yourself saying "well every video I've played looks good". Well, this is case of "ignorance is bliss". Watch a movie on a projector at 24 Hz or a 120Hz TV that accepts 24p input (120 is a nice multiple of 24, so each frame needs to be merely replicated 5x) and you'll see the difference with your own two eyes.
well at least you said no offense...
but IF the hardware is capable, unlocking 24hz shouldnt be a problem IF they manage to make custom roms for it
*i just watched a blueray on my 72hz monitor (3x 24) and then changed it to 60hz, sadly i saw nothing different, perhaps my fast computer does a better job at rendering. guess its one of those things that videophiles can detect that a normal guy cant xD

I have Amazon Fre TV and Minix neo x7. Minix x7 have 24hz output and video plays smooth without jitter or stuttering. On Amazon Fire TV all videos have jitter and stuttering this can be seen when picture is moving slowly from left to right and wise versa. I though that it's problem with with my Fire TV because I'm from UK and I bought Fire TV from USA. If I change refresh rate on Minix to 60hz I see the same jitter and stuttering.

Its not only the one refresh per frame that makes the movies so smooth when outputting with 24Hz.
Depending on your TV, it also smoothes the motions (inserting calculated frames between the movies frames) when the signal is appropriate (e.g. 24Hz).
Outputting at 60Hz, and probably even into the DVI-HDMI, usually results in the TV just showing the 60Hz it gets.
Oh btw did you use a movie player which allows to sync the movie to the refresh rate like MediaPlayerClassic HomeCinema?
I´m pretty sure the result wouldn´t have differed much though: 24fps, being in sync or not, are simply not enough for smooth playback of motion.
The Hobbit movies for example were filmed in 48fps (HFR(-3D)). This way one was able to see smooth motion even in the cinema. For home use you only get to buy 24fps BluRays - but your (reasonable good) TV does the smoothening on the 24Hz signal it gets from your BluRay player.
One of the reasons why I bought this phone was for the 4K recording. I have severe stuttering when recording 4k clips with the 5 min cap. This is very annoying. Furthermore, the phone heats up like a bastard, so much so that it almost feels too hot to touch, like it may explode or just melt.
I have the international unlocked version and I am in the UK. In the past 2 months, I have received 2 software updates for power management but that has not helped at all, battery is terrible. When you record 4k, it drops like a ***** almost 10 percent every minute and continues to go down while the phone tries to come back to normal temps.
I have changed the runtime to ART and back to give it a try and its no better. Also did this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365/page31
With the hidden menus but its not really giving me a boost in processing power and better temperatures. I have searched for a few days now and cannot find anyone with similar issues and I have seen a lot of issues, so starting a thread here.
Please help!
I think the heating while recording a 4k video is a common issue. On my G3,the CPU reachs 67-70°C,hotter than when playing Asphalt 8 and this causes a big battery drain.
For the first question,in poor words the 4k-recorded videos have some lags?
Inviato dal mio Lg G3 con tapataaalk
Thanks for replying. The issue is not recorded video, it's pretty choppy "while" recording 4k. It's choppy playing back the same videos too and consistent to the stutters experienced while recording. The playback stutters at the same place where recording stuttered if that makes sense. I don't think there is an issue with playback but recording.
I am not sure why this happens as it didn't seem to happen when I bought the phone, can it be the software updates for power optimization to blame?
yup i've seen the stutter on playback but only when i play the 4k videos on my laptop.
but on default player in g3 phone, there is none.
in my experience, choppiness when recording vids was due to slow microsd.
i always try to set the recorded vids to internal sd after that.
When my class-10 micro sd arrives,i'll try 4k recording and see if there's struttering...and compare the videos with the other ones made with a class-4 micro sd
Inviato dal mio Lg G3 con tapataaalk
Yeah.. They didn't add the 5 minute cap for the beauty of it. The phone will heat the crap up with 4K.
I don't have issues with stuttering, though I use a class 10 sdcard
------------------
Hey, small add here. I took the phone off the wireless charger (had 100%) and started recording a 4K video. Phone got lukewarm (like browsing on facebook for a long time on 4G). Battery went from 100% to.. well, 100%. But 100% is a bit tough to break, but it when it shows 99%, it's a straight drop from there. No stuttering at all too.
Class 4 is not enough. Class 10 may not be enough either. If you want to record 4k directly to MicroSD, you better buy those "extreme" memorycards. They cost more but trust me, even Class 10 may not be enough.
Oh and by the way, rebooting the device every once and a while is highly recommended.

Highly recommend Samsung Class10 64Gb Pro UHS-I MB-MG64DA/AM, they easily can write up to 80Mb/sec on USB 3.0 cardreader, trust me I checked myself

yeah, truly so, there may be tons of zombie processes, doing stuff in background and messing with SoC, distracting it from encoding process thus causing stutters
Oh trust me guys u have tried rebooting every 5 mins to see if there were no issues. Did factory reset too and it was slightly better. Maybe there were indeed some zombie processes to blame here and I think the sd cards are also n issue. I have now gotten rid of the phone. Too buggy and not optimised. I am now waiting my nexus 6. I hope the camera is at least as good as LG. On my previous nexus devices the camera has been pants.
Nexus 6 and 4k movie
Nexus 6 just can not handle it. I posted a 4K to Facebook and it ended up as junk. I then immediately deleted it. Set Nexus 6 to HD 1080p and forget about the future of 4k in Nexus 6 for now.
GTMoraes: Hi, saw your comment about wishing your G3 had a lower 1080p resolution. Wish I could remember exactly where on these forums, but someone had a couple of lines you can enter in terminal to specify the resolution you prefer for the screen. He said it made the screen faster and the power draw less than the 1440p it's on now. I knew I should have written it down.
