Hulu audio slow, running CM6 8/14

I was using Hulu with the flash player hack, and it was working beautifully. I have been running the nightlies for a while, and I can't tell what changed. But now when I try to use hulu, the audio is so slow the voices sound possessed!
I found some users in the Incredible forum ran into the same issues when an audio fix for froyo was applied to their rom. But one user posted solving both problems.
Has anyone else run into this? If so have you found a fix?

Yeah I too have this problem

Go to Google type hulu hack xda developers then look for June 17th fix. Works great on my evolution no audio problems.

That's actually where I got the hack in the first place. I un-installed it and installed it again today, and I am still getting the same result. I even flashed back to a previous nightly build, the only one I had a nand backup for, and same problem.
I did find this in the incredible forum,
just add this extension to the URL at the top showthread.php?p=7712210, and check out comment #73
His solution seemed a little over my head, but would something like this work for us?

any simple fix for evos?

Did anyone ever get a fix?? I'm having the same thing

Try turning off dsp.
Sent on the go from my HTC EVO

Disabled dsp still a no go..it's weird the ads sound fine once it gets to the actual video it messes up ..thanks for trying. Any other ideas?

I have tried everything. There is an updated "fixed-flash" in the forum where I found it the first time. I uninstalled my old one, re-booted, and then installed the new one. Couldn't get it to work.
I tried using the hulu.apk, which is really just the Hulu bookmark widget from hulu.com. I tried running it through Dolphin HD, I tried it through the stock browser, and I got the demon voices almost every time. There were few occasions where commercials would come in fine, and one time the actual clip played with normal audio, but 90% of the time, I am getting slow audio.
It seems like in the droid incredible forums, they are discussing this more. I found this from a dinc forum.
This is how I understand it. Google changed something to the audio streams for Froyo. Apparently catering to a newer technology called stagefright I believe. But, this made Pandora, Slacker, and other audio only streams sound like an old record player. So, Google released a fix. Adrynalyne posted that fix early. But it seems that this "fix" only fixes the streaming audio for those music apps and sites. But it caused a delay in the flash audio from sites like Hulu. In regards to this, there was a droid incredible forum talking about a ROM called SkyRaider. I wonder if Cyanogen used the same fix.
"SkyRaider incorporates adrynalyne's audio fix, which was released by google, which as previously mentioned fixed the AAC streams. The side effect was that Hulu and other sites were getting "devil voice" audio. So basically you could either have one or the other, not both.
Prior to the audio fix was an alternate fix where you changed a variable in the build.prop. This fixed both aac (ie. Pandora) and did not distort the sound in Hulu. The only thing affected was a slightly lower quadrant score. No decrease in performance, just a lower score. Personally, I'm still using the build.prop because I don't care about quadrant scores and my phone works properly in all aspects. Again this fix is rather old school now so maybe a better alternative has been cooked up but it's what I've been using for quite a while with no issues. "
Does anyone with more experience than me know what that means? Can this be applied to the Evo?

There don't seem to be too many people interested in this post. But for those that are. I did try editing the build.prop file using a root explorer. It didn't work. I will post if I find anything that does.

Yea I've been trying to fix this for 2 weeks now..I even applied skyraders fix to see if would work crashed my phone..I keep posting and also no buddy seems like there interested in it..i would love tofix this problem cause now it's become a obsession..I've tried and have gotten nowhere..ill give 10 bucks to anyone that can fix this for me!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7880766&postcount=6
After researching this for a while, I've found the only way to do this is to disable Stagefright. Hopefully this won't be a permanent thing. Follow the instructions in the above link. Pandora and Hulu seem to BOTH be functioning properly on the newest Cyanogen nightly after applying this fix.

The Cause of this issue?
I thought I post what results in Hulu sound running slow for me. Hulu works great when I first flash MIKSHIFT v1.0 for the HTC EVO Shift.
When I start having the slow sound on Hulu is right after I do a wipe of the user data (System Reset). It does not matter if you do the system reset from within "Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset" or if you run this from within clockworkmod recovery.
After the reset and installing the huku fix apx the issue with the sound appears.
So it seems that doing the reset is causing something to be changed that causes this issue.
Please let me know if anyone has found a solution for this.

[Q] Android Netflix App for A7?

Does anyone know if the new Android Netfix app will ever work on the A7? I installed it on my EVO and it is sweet! But the screen is TINY!

I don't count on it ever working,but I put playon on mine and it works pretty much perfectly.You can install it on your computer then you are basically steaming but you have Netflix, Hulu CBS,tbs comedycentral,syfy and the list goes on.You can try it out for a couple of weeks for free and then if you want to keep it they are pretty cheap and have several ways to subscribe,from monthly,yearly and even a one time payment for a lifetime subsciption.Anyway I got tired of waiting and got it on sell and haven't looked back.It is more than you can imagine and you can use it on PS3.Xbox,Wii,and several blueray players.Pretty much anything that is DLNP capable .
Anyway didn't mean to ramble but hope this helps.

There is a netflix app available without the checks and already signed. Most have said they can get it running in a gingerbread rom. I haven't been able to get it working on the A7's rom however.

I know that they won't allow it to run on devices that are rooted, but I think if you search the forums you'll find a modded apk that should run.

I had installed the cracked version on my Evo4G and Evo3D, and it installed on the A7 but would never work.
I always ignored the "there is a newer version available" message until I read your post. Works like a charm now... Resolution seems like it sucks a little, but that may have just been the movie I tested with.

Just down loaded from Market. Install and logged in. It works great!!!

I updated to this version and it works well. I've noticed that the resolution starts out bad but rapidly improves. I am really happy with this tablet now. It pretty much does most things I want it to do. Only thing left for me to conquer is moving apps 2 external SD.
Thanks to everyone that has helped develop the mode!

Just wanted to make sure everyone is aware that you can adjust the quality of your stream through netflix. Just head to your account page on netflix.com and towards the bottom is a link to adjust the quality.

I've be seaching for the Elocitymod 1.42a, but haven't been able to find it. Can anyone tell me where I can get it or send a link? Thanks

On my completly factory A7+ I got netflix working only through an account on amazon
Still can't find way for un modified A7+ to get HBO GO
more to point. I cant get netflix audio (or any audio) through hdmi on my ~5 yr old Insignia HD TV, is it possible adjusting stream quality will solve the no audio? I tried it on a new 55" Toshiba and audio/video work perfect (and wow, a 3' tall angry bird is cool)
This has been answerd in old threads as, "some tv's audio works, some don't"
Any new fixes?
Anyway to put screen to sleep while still streaming through hdmi?

Multitouch issue

How many people are having this issue?
Ive had it since purchase and im on 4.0.2 now (manually updated) and still having issues.
I have no idea if google or samsung are aware of this but a quick search on google brings up loads of articles about it.
If you not sure download a multi touch test app from the market and follow as they do on the video.
While in landscape mode with the power button at the top the right hand side of the screen will being temperamental which you try to have more than one point on touch on the screen.

I noticed this issue playing heavy gunner today

oke this is a copy of my thread here :Gnex Game thread
"Oke.
just to point this out and help a couple of people.
the current state of gaming on the Gnex is..rater terrible.
Allot of game's camp with the multitouch error/glitch/compatibility.
Yes multitouch doesnt work how it should work.
The cause of this might be the SB(software buttons)
and an API that needs to be implemented to the game to hide the SB.
"
as this might be actually the issue.. that apps dont have the right API/support for the Gnex.
all the linkts and video's you posted are apps that arent native and dont support the GNex at all.
yes they run.but as soon as you get close to the SB you get issue's.
and there is the problem.
the apps need to include the hide SB api that are in the native gnex apps.
there is your problem.
not all apps are affected by this issue due to apps being programmed differently.
(different API level or coding)
as soons as GTA3 has gnex support,than we can see if i was right or you were.

Why would turning screen off and back on fix it for a while?
I hope it is easily fixed but i hope its in android source rather than apps as thats alot of incompatible apps.

Whew. Just tested. Multitouch is perfect!

my multitouch issue only happens with heavy gunners. Once I play heavy gunners, I can see the multitouch issue.
I don't have this issue when playing shadowgun or deadspace.

The first time I tried the multitouch issue it appeared, but after that I have tried a lot of times and is impossible to reproduce the error againg. Eitherway, I have played a lot of times to Modern Combat 2 and I have never had any kind of problem with the multitouch.
BTW, when I achieved reproducing the error, it was just in the typical position of the onscreen controls for games and emulators and just in the left side of the screen if I look it in portrait mode, was strange, in the right side it worked fine, but in the left side not

Mine happens just like in the video. Works perfectly fine until I play a game like heavy gunner, then I get issues. Turn the screen off then back on and everything works again.
edit: Actually, toggling the screen off and back on during the game seems to fix multitouch in-game too

I have the same issue in GTA3 and N64oid.. I hope it will work in updated versions of these apps.

this is what happen to me:
If i'm chargin the phone multitouch goes crazy and doesn't work,litteraly impossible to use, if i unplug the power cord, put the screen off and back on everithing goes back to normal, since i' testing the multitouch with antutu so i'm sure of this bug,
So if only battery powered multitouch ok!
With power cord plugged in multitouch not ok!
let me know what do you think.

Hmm where is it lagging for you? I am in the middle of disc 2 and the only thing that has lagged on me is the part where you try to stop the train from running into Barret's little town (forgot what it's called).
I am on AOKP and Franco, just installed GlaDOS to try to get some more performance but it is pretty playable.
edit: Try this on FPSe and see if it works for you. I don't have mine setup so I can't try it out.
go in fpse.ini file and set DisStereo=1
Will need root explorer or something to get to the FPSe directory but it might help.

Ive already changed the DisStereo=1 and I thought i was all good. It was in the starter town after blowing the first reactor. But as soon as i left with the train it got unplayable.
Im on stock yakju, but I know people were playing it with their xperia minis without lag. So something else has to be the problem.
Doesnt the sound lag for you? What settings do you use?
edit: ive got scph1001.bin bios and a ntsc-u game.

I can't understand why i cant get rid of the lag when people with half the performance is saying their playing it without. Isnt it suppose to be able to play without a problem?

On my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, I've gotten it to minimal lag by enabling dual core mode (in my version it's done by default and the option is actually "force mono core" but I don't have it enabled) with the following things enabled under the "video" settings:
framelimiter
frameskip
and that's it. I also have my processor overclocked and i do NOT have the OpenGL plugin installed (don't do it).
The sound is messed up and don't EVER use Tifa's limit breaks during boss fights (freezes right up), but otherwise I run at a pretty consistent 60fpt.

It's strange, if you download the OpenGL plugin, the sound is actually fixed (well, 85% of the time anyway), but then strange things start to happen randomly. I've had menus go missing---namely the battle menu during battles---and sprites go missing (sprites are video game programmer speak for pictures of things). Like the little white hand that points at "continue" or "new game" on the load screen disappears. So I just deal with the sound being messed up. I'd rather have smooth game play than fully functional sound.
Mind you, the music actually plays correctly, but it sounds like a stereo recording trying to play out of a mono speaker set up, like there's a speaker that's broken and not playing. Probably something that'll get fixed eventually.
In either case, DO NOT USE TIFA'S LIMIT BREAKS DURING BOSS BATTLES. I've had the game freeze on me half a dozen times during that first boss battle she's in during the 5th Mako Reactor and during the Sewer Boss after the "cloud dresses in drag" scene. During regular battles she seems to be okay, but boss battles freeze up bad enough to have to restart.
Hope I helped out I'm currently about to bust into the Shinra HQ for the first time (way early in the game lol). I love my ps3 controller set up on there too. It feels just like playing when i was a kid...but on mute...damn sound

JB and apps that use flash..

So I know that flash doesn't work on JB which is just retarded and honestly sucks because I used to hold it over my iFriends all the time. Also I know there is a work around to install flash player but it seems to only work on the default browser. The point being that I use Pulse and Cracked Lite pretty often and sometimes there are articles which have videos embedded in them (usually YouTube), with the absence of flash its impossible to view them. My question is how are people getting around this issue? I'm sure I'm not the only person who uses Pulse or Cracked and I'm sure there's other apps with the same issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't really have much of a solution, but my first phone was a LG Optimus One which couldn't even run flash. So I was stoked when I got my Galaxy Nexus with Jellybean so that I could finally watch tv shows on my phone. Then I found it that it had no flash. So basically what I did was use stock browser (Since I installed flash anyways) to watch things with flash with stock browser and use Chrome/Opera/Dolphin for everything else. Eventually I got tired of doing that I just stuck with the stock browser and realised how much faster and smoother it is. Sorry that I couldn't really help you at all, but that how I get around my issue.

It is my understand ing, tar if you push the app, it will work
