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.
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?
i have this problem on my at&t galaxy s3. I have been playing gta vice city and many other high quality games, and it is really laggy. On max quality its really laggy on high-laggy, on medium-laggy etc... i have the power saving feature turned off, and it does help but not too much. I have a friend of mine who plays gta 3 with no lag whatsoever, even on high. and guess what... he plays on his ipod.
Have you tried clearing your various caches lately? This should be done once in awhile, or your phone starts to bogg down.
hi there.
does anyone experience this issue.
while playing a game. especially a CPU intensive game. there is random noise coming from the speakers besides the game music/sound effects.
while gaming you won't notice it. so hold the speaker close to your ear. it is very noticeable.
it's not audible when on high volume.
more around 1/3 volume setting.
noticed it while playing for the first time on my P2.
the game was marvel contest of champions.
if it's only my device. then I will have to RMA it.

Yes, I noticed that when playing asphalt extreme
I'm running stock nougat. I do hear a sound like whirring or noise coming from the speakers. Any fix?

So I'm not the only one noticing this whirring/noise.
It's only there in games but not while using youtube or other apps that output music.
I haven't looked for a fix yet as i had thought it's an manufacturing issue.
I never experienced that on any of my other phones.
I think we will know when someone trys to reproduce the issue and reports back that he/she doesn't have that issue.
I didn't see a thread dedicated to gaming on the V30, so I figured I'd create one for us to discuss our recommendations, thoughts etc.
Please feel free to add to the thread.
On a start, I noticed on really dark games, such as Karma incarnation 1, it looks pretty stunning. The blacks are so dark you can't distinguish the screen from the edge of the phone. And the colors of the game look amazing. It's a very dark and odd game though.

It was free a day or so ago, and may still be. Check it out.
Anyone using Pokemon Go, South Park Phone Destroyer or Super Mario Run??.... any throttling after a few minutes or hiccups?
I'm mostly curious about playing and charging at the same time and how warm things get and if the procs slow down to a point it's noticeable in game. My current phone gets real bad with Pokemon Go after about 5 min... it's like a slide show after throttling starts, but it's smooth before the temp increases.
thanks for any info.
I've played super Mario run for periods longer than 5 minutes and it doesn't stutter or lag. The phone doesn't even really get warm. I haven't charged and played yet though as I still believe in the old "battery conditioning". ?

No doubt, even I dislike charging and playing, but when you get into a group and hit raids in Pokemon Go for 8 hours charging with a battery pack on the go is a must, lol. Happy to hear at least for Mario Run you've not seen any issues. Thank you.
Here are my two cents. The games I run are Hyperburner, Hitman: Sniper, Lonewolf, PacMan CE, Star Wars Pinball, with Hungry Shark and Flip Diving for the kids. On those the phone runs like nothing is happening at all, no warming and no lag whatsoever. I also run 5 emulators: NostalgiaNES, SuperRetro 16, MD.EMU, Mugen64Plus and MAME4DROID and apart for MAME not recognizing SF3 3rd Strike's CHD image all games runs ok. The only game I have to run on basically low quality is Star Wars: KOTOR (my favorite game), for some reason it will stutter and almost drop to 5fps if I run it with high-quality graphics, shadows on, grass on and frame buffer efftecs on. I was surprised since this is an old game ported from the main PC code, my guess it is resolution limited but nonetheless, I have to run it low quality. Other than that, no issues on those previously mentioned games.

Interesting about KOTOR... I assume you've tried reducing the resolution in settings on the V30... any changes?

You're correct, I changed the resolution to both normal and low and the game won't run, it gets stuck on the splash screen. Go back to high resolution and runs as it's supposed to do. Same with framerate. Clearing data didn't help too. I frankly am surprised by this.

How far are you on CSR2?
Anyone gaming on v30+? It's weird and against all the good reports about gaming on regular v30, but IT'S SLOW! FPS must be around 10-15 fps playing mobile legends, titanfall, actually all games. I can see on some points it improves but only for a couple of seconds.
I've tried playing with the game settings. None improve the frame rate..
I played lineage 2 it ran like crap at max settings . but on my iphone 8 plus not problem. Other games ive tried is kuboom wasnt so great not smooth. Gunz of boom ran ok . over all not impressed maybe lg software might be throttling the cpu/gpu so the phone doesnt get hot. My lg v30+ stayed cool playing 3+ hours straight. Now i dont game on my v30+ all my games are on my iphone.

Ur using v30+ right? Weird that almost every review or regular v30 user praise gaming performance on v30.. I'd say it's a software bug specifically on the plus
