Hey everyone, had a quick question regarding your experiences with the video quality of the WatchESPN app. I've noticed that on my S3 the video quality never goes into high quality when viewing regular ESPN. If i switch it to ESPN2, ESPNU, and ESPN 3 channels, all of that content appears in high quality. I've tried this on both my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 and an AT&T Galaxy S3 with the same result.
Anyone else experience this issue?

Hi,
is there a youtube player, where I can use the HQ/HD version of the youtube videos?
In the standard player the quality is still low, even i set it to hight quality.
in the app, click on the gear (next to the "X" used to close the program). then go to video playback quality and then ensure its set to high quality.
I did set it to high quality but it seems its still the normal quality in youtube, the low quality is below normal, or am I wrong in this case?
perhaps the video you are viewing was uploaded before the high quality option was introduced. try looking at one you KNOW is availabile in high quality to test.

i think youtube website detects your connection speed and deliver the corresponding quality format to ensure non cute streaming with best quality/stream rate
An application with format HD (or really High High Quality) would be good for our Touch HD
Because, it's real (=true? that mean the same think, doesn't ?)... With Youtube App, videos are in bad quality (even if we choose High Quality in settings)
My provider is SFR and I've a 8Mbps connexion.
A few things:
- HD will never happen and is total overkill. First of all, HD youtube videos are 1280x720. Way bigger then the Touch HD's screen. Second, the processor can't handle this resolution and scaling.
-The video you are watching must have been encoded in HQ, because HQ video has a higher resolution (Standard= 320x240, HQ 480x360 in 4:3 cases).
Looking at the resolution, it's true that it's not the highest quality the Touch HD can display, but if the original source is of high quality and it is uploaded correctly, it looks GREAT on my screen. So the source is key!
As a test, set quality to high in the settings and do a search for:
creature comforts - cats or dogs? part 1 (spelled EXACTLY like that, with spaces and all)
Check with the info button it is the one from the 'Aardman' channel and view it. Now that looks pretty darn good to me!!
Check out the other ones from the channel as well,... very funny
I am curious to find out (for the ones that actually do use the video out option), what the quality of the video looks like...
I used the dongle hack (where you cut the blue wire) in order to get video out of the phone w/out the need to purchase the video cable. But, the videos to the tv come out very whitetened out, very bright, and not very clear.
Is the official video-out cable's quality of video to a tv better?...or is it the same low quality, whitened video?
Thanks for your input.
i got the cable and have used it a couple of times, i don't remember the quality being "whitened" at all..
it was decent, played youtube videos on a 52" lcd and they were a bit pixelated but still viewable.
I realized that there were a few posts regarding the audio quality of a video recorded during a concert/festival/really loud music scenes. A couple of them were questions, and some were answers with videos which have now been removed or blocked by Youtube due to their legal constraints. So I decided to post my video in hopes to help those who would like to know how good or bad the G3 performs in such loud environment. Please read on.
So, last week, I finally got a chance to record a video of a concert using my G3, and at first I feared that the audio quality will be sub-par again, like my GS3 or Nitro HD, etc. I feared that although the video will look amazing, the sound will crackle and break and hiss etc. Well, hear it for yourself below.
Do note that I chose to record the video using the camera's Slo-Mo feature, which resulted in the video being in 720p only but at 120Hz. Unfortunately, for some reason, the quality of the video is actually lower than 720p, where you can see pixelation at times and at others just blurriness. I have some other videos that are in the normal 4K mode, I will upload it when I find it.

So after watching the video, I'm sure you guys are pleased to know that the audio quality on this phone is amazing. Not a loss in clarity, and the bass does not crackle or break, and the different levels are clearly distinguishable. Singer's voice is sharp and clear, even the background singers can be heard as well. I say we have a winner in a concert camera phone!
Very close to the stage at the last Crue concert...extremely loud. Clear as a bell.
Impressive stuff. The distortion-free sound was one of my favorite things about my old One M7, I was wondering how well the G3 could deal with it seeing as they glossed over it at the reveal event but no one else has mentioned it.
I'm curious about how they've gone about achieving this, I'm guessing it has something to do with that sound "filter" that is applied to videos as you record them, I wasn't a fan of it in the past as it made background sounds and such sound muffled, but it does make voices a lot clearer and if it means that the G3 keeps its cool in loud environments, I guess I can live with it.
Hi all, I am actually a new tablet user but I do have some background regarding it, anyway I recently bought samsung galaxy tab s cuz I was amazed by how amazing it is esp it's resolution, so I was happy and I bought it cuz I love watching movies and videos and such and everyone recommended this tablet to me, but once I bought it I tried hd movies in it, the color contrast was obviously amazing but I didn't like the video quality it was not clear and kinda fuzzy and blurry, on my pc it was so clear obviously cuz it's 1080p resolution but I was disappointed it wasn't that clear on my tab s, I tried different movies but it was the same, is there way to make the quality as good as good as my pc or at least clear? Or cuz my tab s support only 1440p? And also when I tried watching videos on YouTube it was the same fuzzy and blurry even when using 1080p resolution, Is there a way to fix that as well? Sorry for the dummy question but I had to ask maybe I'm doing Sth wrong, would appreciate any help.

Your friends are never going to believe what you did. The only way to prove it to them is with that video you took. Rate this thread to express how videos shot on the ZTE Axon 7 come out. A higher rating indicates that videos are smooth (and not choppy) and that auto-focus works very well, and that the camera adjusts quickly to different lighting conditions while recording.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Just wondering why 4k looks so much better than 1080p, even when watched on a 1080p screen.
Almost as if they deliberately made video less than 4k look crap.
I wish the audio quality was better. I found out that axon records audio at 96 kbps which is lower than other phones. I wish I can increase the bitrate for audio.

It has something to do with bitrate. LinusTechTips made a video about this but im not near a computer.
These clips should not be listed as "raw". They should called ungraded or unedited. Too much confusion with RAW.
While the video itself it really nice, and the audio is great in regular settings.... In LOUD settings, such as a full, live band, you get a terrible mic clipping noise.
Here's an example
Video of loud fireworks in Valencia:
I have to set anti-banding to 50Hz (not to auto or 60Hz), there are a lot flickering.
I took a video of starting and running my car after doing a lot of work to it and having it off the road for many weeks. I was very surprised at how well the mics picked up sound. As I moved around the front of the car, many different noises were easily identifiable and extremely clear. I shot it on the snap camera hd app instead of the stock camera.

Here's a short vid I took today. Cold start cycle on the car. The phone handles quite a lot of loudness pretty well.

I was messing around with the Axon 7 this afternoon. Fitted a phone mount at the top of my front windscreen in the car and took some footage whilst driving with the windows fully open. In all previous phones this resulted in really bad audio with wind noise and vibrations destroying what I would want to hear.
Pleased to say, the recorded audio with the A7 is shockingly good! It's loud and clear with great dynamic range and doesn't pull back with a sudden loud noise. Very real. Will install a crashcam app to see how that looks and sounds, although I have a fairly good dual camera crash cam installed already.
ZTE have implemented audio recording with the DAC very well but the mics must be better than average too.

Hello,
Did you found it ?
