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

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] Slow motion with camers

The youtube demo showed the camera playing a few shots in slow motion.
Has anyone tried this or figured out how to do this. Would work good looking a a golf swing.

As soon as I flipped the camera switch to camcorder it popped up asking what Recording Mode I want. One of them was Slow Motion.

I use V1 Golf from the play store. Works well for stepping forward or backward and you can draw on the screen if you are teaching someone.

1/16th? Mine only goes to 1/8th

I hooked up my note to a computer screen after viewing this, works amazingly well and not difficult to set up.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

nice, but I felt a little underwhelmed. I agree there is power in the phone to be PC replacement. I didn't watch the whole vdieo, so I don't know if he discussed the short comings of what can and can't be done compared to the PC. It's not the fault of the phone, but more Android and the way apps are designed.
With that said, we may see these things replace the cheap PC in the future. Bablysteps....babysteps

Yea I saw this video a while back while looking at note 2 vids on youtube and that is what got me to get a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse and turn my note 2 to a little personal pc to do simple things on my flat screen which I enjoy

Slow-mo fuzzy low res image

Has anyone tried the slow motion yet? I've taken several videos, at night, indoors and outside in bright day light and they all look very very terrible. They look as if they were taken in 480p scaled up. Actually they look like a crappy GIF animation.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing or is it just a problem on my end.
I'll upload a video if anyone wants to see.

Yep same here on ATT note 3. Defeates the whole purpose and makes it unusable.

I have the same problem.

Oh no! This is one feature that made me want this phone rather than an iPhone. Crap, I hope Samsung will fix this soon.

Judging by the sample videos posted on YouTube, this is a widespread problem. Even the commenters there noticed how pixelated and fuzzy the image is.
Cmon Samsung... this is one THE best feature that people are looking for, yet you fail so bad.
This stopped me from purchasing the Note 3. With the locked bootloader, no hide application features and now this...

The one on the HTC one S has been the best slow mo cam I've used. Not even the iPhone was compares. I still can't figure out how to use it on the note.

It's so strange that Samsung would offer a feature like this and it be so terrible. I thought my camera S defective
