Choppy video recording playback question.....MAYBE SOLVED for me

Apparently I get to research this fun issue now. Anyways is there any correlation between choppy video play back and recording in low light situations?
The vids I'm recoding right now are in semi low light but I can still see what I'm recording, but during play back the video seems to pause then continue. Sometimes its very bad sometimes its just every once in awhile.
I have adjusted recording resolution and encoding but there wasnt any change.
Any ideas?

Ok thought i d post back with some findings.
I'm using a pc to actualy watch these vids to better look for issues and isolate at what point the pauses and glitches are introduced. It seems that its having a hard time actually making the video. Not play back, because my pc plays back the crappy video just as crapy as my evo.
I got the video to stop freezing and pitching. I'm not sure what fixed it but I believe it was fixed by running a check risk on my SD card.
I noticed that everytime I connected my Evo to my pc via usb and used removable storage mode my windows 7 would ask if I wanted to scan and fix or not. I was telling it no, but after I did thus scan my videos want back to being pretty clear and not choppy.
Thought I'd share my findings.

Super fast audio on videos

Hi guys,
So I just got my GN a couple days ago and I've been LOVING it... but I just encountered a huge issue with video recording and I cant seem to find another thread that discusses this problem. I went to a Young the Giant show a few nights ago and recorded a few of their songs but when I went to watch them tonight, the video was normal, but the audio was sped up exactly 2x its normal speed. Once the audio finished, the video continues on the phone, but on the PC the windows media player errors out and closes the video. I have 6 videos which all do the same exact thing.
Has anyone else had this issue? I would really like to know if I just got a bad phone...

No, definitely i haven't seen anything like that by now. Seems like an issue with codecs.

I thought the same thing... but this is on the stock ICS rom. It is rooted, though.

Nope, no overclocking has been done. I simply rooted the phone, keeping the stock rom in place. Any suggestions for a third party video recorder?

Wow... thanks so much for the tip Acererak, it was the volume boost app! I was using Volume+ because the phone's max volume is just so low. I guess I'll have to find another method. Thanks!

Galaxy S3 screen freezes when playing Netflix through MHL on TV, sound still playing

Hey guys. I just got my MHL OEM adapter from Samsung and I discovered that Netflix video freezes but the sound still plays. If I move through the movie it starts back again but for only 1 second and it freezes again. Sound is still playing. Any idea?

Thanks for the reply. I am actually not even rooted. I am using Stock 4.0.4. The annoying thing is that no one seems to have the same issue. Also, every other application/video works with the adapter... it plays awesome videos through the video player, but Netflix gives me lots of trouble... Netflix was the reason to get the adapter in the first place...

Its not the lead is it? Maybe faulty?
I'm using netflix through my WDTV and on my S3 and having no issues - I am using UnoDNS to get the USA version though, so whether it is linked to their server being faster or something? UnoTelly has been working smashing but only tried it on free trial so far. Might be worth a try to see if it is linked to server or your ISP messing with stuff.

Note 3, Play music or chrome cast?

So I can't figure out for the life of me which one of these is really the problem. When I play google play music on my chrome cast it plays for a minute or two, then the screen times out, and then it stops. I've tried resetting my router, resetting the phone, resetting the chrome cast, but it seems like nothing works. On my galaxy s3 running cm 10 I had no issues what so ever. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? What suggestions do you have? I know that this is a software issue, I'm just trying to figure out from where and who. Thanks for your help.

It's a Note3 WiFi issue afaik. It's solid on my S3 as well, as long as the WiFi's steady, but my Note3 can only play 5 to 10 songs on avg before dropping out of the playlist. This is probably due to the Note3 incorrectly thinking your WiFi is inconsistent (forgot what the actual dialog warning says). The next TouchWhiz is supposed to fix this along with WiFi calling.
The only way to fix it before the update is to have a WiFi AP in the same room as your TV so there's no question about signal strength.

Software, huh. Yea I figured. I haven't really used touchwiz ever and this is my first experience. Haha well great. What's weird is that my wife's note 3 doesn't have any issues with this? The other night I was successful in streaming multiple songs with the screen off.
Well either way, I really wish Samsung would fix these issues before they release the top of the line phone. Thanks for your input.

I think I just had a major breakthrough!
Tonight I was looking at my wife's Galaxy Note and I wanted to see why hers was working and mine wasn't. So I went through all of her settings on her google play music and it looks like the difference was hers was on stream at normal quality and mine was on stream at high quality.
So I matched it to hers and my phone was playing all tracks flawlessly. I wish I could broadcast this to the community and everyone else has had this problem but I believe that would fix the issue.
My theory is the note 3 already has wifi issues, showing that it has a weak signal. If you stream music at a lower bandwidth it seems like it wouldn't struggle as much. So that's why I think it works. Hope this helps anyone else thats looking at this.

That's nice, but... the difference in quality is noticeable. I always enable high quality too (for 320kbps)

Right, and most audiophiles like you and myself usually do that right out if the box and that's why it doesn't work. I'm OK with listening to a lower quality of music as long as it streams. I don't know about you but it's super frustrating for music to start & stop even if it is
high quality. I'm okay with compromises.

That would be fine if it works, but I tried this and it still doesn't work without stopping. I tried all the wifi settings changes mentioned. It still stops on my Note 3 but not my OG Nexus 7. I think only a software update is truly going to fix this issue permanently.

It's taking forever to get an aosp rom for this phone. Sadly I'm thinking the first one will be a buggy kit Kat rom.

[Q] How is Netflix quality on this tablet?

How is the Netflix playback on this unit? Does it have 1080p playback like the Nexus 7? Any sync issues with sound? Does it look great?
I'm asking this as I recently bought the Xperia Tablet Z and it has quite possibly the worst Netflix playback I've ever seen, especially for such a high end unit. My Nexus 7 or even my older IPad are miles better. It looks like I will be returning the Sony and perhaps ordering one of these.
Any other Netflix junkies here?

Cant get the sound and video to sync. Varies from right on, to half a sec lag or lead of sound throughout the movie. Very disappointing and annoying at the same time. Posted asking if anyone else had this issue but no replies...
This is true even after todays last OTA update. The video looks great - not sure about the resolution

I've had it intermittently. once when starting the office and then when playing Hatfield and McCoy's. exiting out each movie and restarting fixed it most of the time and other times just made it better but not perfect.the last two test just a few minutes ago played perfectly. I did install the latest ota yesterday so it could be that fixed it.
and for the op I can't say much about 1080p Netflix since I've lowered the stream in my prefs. my daughter plays Netflix all day and the highest throughput we can get out here is 6Mbps on a 150Gb limit. the week I gave my daughter her opacity a few Christmases ago she nearly used up all our bandwidth in 1 week!
1080p local videos are beautiful though!

I'm on the newest update and just tried The Avengers. Video quality is great (looks 1080 to me), sound syncs fine, but I did notice the video flickering a little within the first few minutes. Didn't appear for the rest of the movie.

Im also on the newest build, and i just added two movies avengers and transformers in HD to my queue, and played them and they seem to be working flawlessly, the sound is synced perfectly, no lag between movie and soundtrack. Quite pleased working better than the iPad. Lol

Can also verify - newest build. Netflix is working flawlessly. Extremely happy with the playback right now

After playing around with Netflix I realized that when I plug in the headphones (wired), the audio/video playback is flawless i.e. no sync issues. When I connect my Bluetooth stereo headset (LG tone) the I am having terrible audio/video sync problems. Don't know if it's a problem with this specific Bluetooth headset or a problem in general with the Bluetooth of the tablet. I will try other Bluetooth headsets to verify.

Im sorry if im reviving an old post but i need to know this ..
im about to buy this tablet and i love watching netflix.. Does the app Has HD playback ? Pleasee answer is the app working now?

This is a common issue with Bluetooth wireless speakers. I heard them talking about it on a Twit podcast recently. Try connecting via a wire and see if the problem goes away.

Every device I have lags on Bluetooth. You can't tell just playing audio (music) but with video the latency is apparent. The note works exactly the same.

Good to see this has good Netflix hope it's 1080p will be getting mines in a few days.
