Netflix Quality

Anybody notice the bad quality of netflix on this phone??

If I had to guess, it would have something to do with the resolution and the larger screen. But yea I noticed that too!

Not true. Use the $25 credit media hub gave you in the box. I just watched roast of Charlie Sheen and it was so crisp!

Yeah, its not the resolution because it looked awesome on the exynos version. I think it has something to do with the way the qualcomm crap renders some codecs

Netflix quality is already pretty terrible. Try loading something in HD and you will notice it is still pretty firm.

There is an update to Netflix in the market. I did the update, then pulled up Tron Legacy. It started out terrible, but then built up the buffer and was fine after that.

Crisp picture
I just tried Netflix and get a very crisp picture. It might have to do with your connections speeds. Even when I stream Netflix at home on my PC, if I don't have a great connection, the picture is downgraded to accommodate whatever bandwidth I have, so every now and then I do get a very bad picture but generally it's pretty good (not great).

netflix looked like **** on my vibrant too hell it looks like **** on my cpu and xbox lol

Netflix picture quality is based on your connection. hell...if your picture is bad at home then you need to do something about your connection. I have great picture quality on my computer and sexbox360!

Netflix looked great on my phone earlier today. Was on WiFi on home and had no issues.

Netflix automatically adjust video quality based on the speed of your internet connection try it again on wifi if it looks bad and it should be better... i doubt its the phone since it handles 1080p blu ray rips fine

The same happened to me

Looked great on my phone....The quality of the image has nothing to do with this device, I can tell you that right now.
If your connection sucks Netflix will give you crap video. I can upload some youtube videos of me watching later.

I completely agree. Before the Update Netflix + Verticle lines issue made it look horrible. I have no problems on my second SGS2 in regards to Netflix streaming quality now.

Are you saying your second phone has a better screen or that the update fixed it?

A little of Both.
The Amaze looked brighter, had better vibrancy and better contrast than my first one.
With this second one the colors really POP..
Honestly the difference is like night and day comparing the two. IMO the verticle lines issue had a lot to do with it looking much lower quality while playing videos.

T-Mobile Galaxy S2's screen vs Unlocked GS2

Hi, I have the TM GS2 and The Unlocked GS2, and there is a big difference in the screens.
Left T-Mobile Right Unlocked

... dam -__- but great job on the pictures man... Looks great to me

Thanx
And if I play 1080p video on YouTube the unlocked version plays very very smooth and the TM version can't play even 720P without lag. I think its the gpu

Strange, I've played several 1080p vids on youtube with no problems, it's very very smooth. Granted I don't have the unlocked version to compare it to, but no complaints here.
Great comparison on the screenshots, do we attribute the washed out colors on the T-mobile version due to the larger screen?

i had the unlocked version and the user interface and experience was much smoother, i sold it and got this basically for the data
however, 1080p videos play fine for me. no lag
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

the screens are the same
however the display setting on the og sgs2 were different.
you coud set it to stamdard, cinema, or dynamic
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium App

its on standard, and i checked the dynamic and cinema too so there is a diference in the colors, and I don't know why?

I can live with the CPU/GPU being a little weaker with better battery life and a compatible modem. Can you see the difference between 480p and 1080p on a 4 inch screen?
But the fact that the screen is washed out compared to the unlocked one is pretty disappointing.

The difference is minimal but the colors on the unlocked looks like 5 times better
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Yeah, what's up with tmo not including a color setting adjuster? White balance on phones these days are allll over the place. Why not have the simple RGB sliders like on Enthomers ROMS

i disagree, i see no differemce in color

my first sgs2 looked washed out and had the vertical lines. My second sgs2 looks just as vibrant as that unlocked sgs2 international.
These pics from my hd2 don't really do it justice though..

I think the pink background is because t mobile tinted the original pic on some phones to match their color. Can some one upload the orange picture so I can test it?

I would like to see that file too. My wallpaper definitely looks more pink.
The mytouch 4g has a thread discussing variances in screens due to different suppliers; one screen washes out immediately off angle and the other doesn't (don't know how to post the link using xda app). There was a way to figure out what supplier made the screen using the terminal emulator app to link which supplier was the bad screen. so i'm wondering if the same can be done with our phone of in fact we determine there are variances in screens.
It doesn't surprise me if different suppliers were used resulting in differences in the quality of the screen color. We just need to figure out if there are different screen part numbers and if there is a link between the good screen and the bad screen.

[Q] EVO 4g LTE can do something the S3 can't? Say it aint so!

Ok.. so i am watching an ad for the Evo 4g LTE and I see something I don't know if the S3 can do. It can take a video and take a picture of a single frame of video after the video has been taken. Obviously the screenshot can do this but it is not at the full 1080p resolution of the video.
I know we have TONS of features the 4gLTE doesn't have... but just curious on this one, would be nice to have.
I have searched and I can't find an answer to this question but can we do that with the S3? is there any video player software that allows this?
Thanks for any responses.

Retract.

The S3 can do this. While taking a video there's a button to capture the current frame

I stand corrected. Looks good. Must be your lighting.

The OP was asking about taking pictures after the video has been recorded though, like when watching it back...to my knowledge, this can't be done. While you're taking the video, there is an option, but I don't know of one outside that.
I did remove the stock video player though, so that might have something to do with it...

Stock touchwiz video player, no you can't. Maybe you could find one that allows it and install it but other then that there is no way.

this is old news, i have the evo 4g lte and yes you can pause a video then snap a picture but it's nothing special i almost never use the feature but it nice to have.
I tried it on my gs3 when i first got it and no it don't let you.

There's an app called "frame grabber" that works great for this.... Let's you save a picture of the frame of your choice of any recorded video. People are amazed at how I always get the "perfect shot".

Or just pause and screen shot

I am lovin the slow motion feature. - Videos -

I heard it does up to 250fps lol! Try it out guys.
Rmember, you can do 1/2 1/4 1/8 speed. This phone keeps getting better and better.
here is mine, fyi, very low light *only 480p recording in slow motion.

Very cool, going to have to try it in good light tomorrow. Did it indoors and it was quite grainy.

Whoa. Very cool Hadn't checked it out before. And love being able to pop out videos as a window.

Wait till you guys see multi window..... I can't believe Samsung and T-mobile did us like this.... I get to play with my N7100 but my main line is on this phone so I am waiting patiently for the update.....

how cute! I was surprised at it's performance. I recorded my ceiling fan, which is fast enough so it looks like a blur to me, but at 1/8th speed I can see idividual fans turning.. slow. So neat.

Just want to confirm that there's no audio when recording slow motion, correct?

Has anyone used the all share video playback thing I was thinking to buy one was going to get it for 50 bucks half off
If so does it work for all video displayed on the phone like Hulu Netflix YouTube I was thinking of using it for my replacement Boxee tv/roku thank you for any info you guys have

personally I dont like it at all, the smart dock is better. but both suffer from a less then 60 fps to a nerds eye. Most people wont see the fps problem though but it bugs the crap out of me, so much that I tryed both and returned both.

Thanks for the help I'm glad posted this did not know it was less than 60 frames definitely not something I wanna replace for TV watching so how about the MHL 11pin dose that do full 60 frames thanks for the info glad I didn't waste the money on the all share
