I've noticed when I play another movie first (making sure that it doesnt lag) for a few minutes then play Avengers afterwards, then it doesnt lag.

I'm completely stock as well and having lag, also I can't get the pop up video feature to work with this movie

I've turned sync off. Airplane mode. Cleared cache. Killed all tasks and it still lags! Crazy crazy. Because I couldn't watch it I ended up renting it on vudu. Great movie. First time ever watched it.

I think a lot of people have been getting bad downloads. It took me 7 downloads to get the one that doesn't lag.

I downloaded from, hub but I don't know where it downloaded to. I would like to move it to my ext sd card unless it's already there. Also mine lags too wifi on.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Thats weird, mine plays just fine, downloaded it once from the hub and has played flawlessly, even if i skip to different parts of the movie. My phone is completely stock.

Turn wifi on fixed lag for me strange
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Media hub downloads to the internal sd and in order to see it you need to enable to view hidden folders
the folder name will be
.SamsungMediaHub
there will be a series of folders but the file will be a pyv file type.
My take on laggy video play is if it's HD or if it's SD. In my opinion the phone has a big screen but it's not big enough to distinguish between SD and HD. The phone has to struggle a little bit more to be able to play a video file that's HD and nearly 3GB (my computer even struggled with that let alone a phone)
The SD version is about 1.7 or 1.8 gb and I haven't had any lag issues on my phone while watching it.
That's all personal opinion and your entitled to shoot it down but it's all sensible

Same here, just got done watching it and worked flawless! Awesome movie!

How do you enable the option to see hidden folders? Can it be done through root explorer. Also I downloaded both hd and sd but it doesn't give the option to pick which one to play so I assume it's hd playing since it's lagging.

Hulu+ Very Choppy

Guys, I puchased my beautiful GN2 on release day. My Hulu+ app couldnt play at first, however they recently updated the app. Now it plays, but very choppy.
Can someone confirm this? To help smooth out the video, you can select medium resolution while a video is playing. I tested on both 4G and WiFi.

Just tested mine over wifi and it's copy for me too. Works fine on the same network on my Nexus 7 though. So it's not my wifi. Anyone else see this?

They've had a few problems lately. Try cm clearing your cache or un install and re install. Mine works great now even after the update
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Cleared the cashe, uninstalled and resinatalled. Still very choppy. Almost unwatchable. Only thing to do is switch the video to medium quality. Must be done on every video though.

Data has sporadic freezes

It happens a lot on the xda app, and noticing it alot on instagram. I see no data activity for 10 seconds then it will animate and data will load whatever im browsing. Dont use facebook or twitter. Infact I never used instagram till yesterday and its doing same thing as xda, which is what I browse with the most. I thought it was just the xda site but I guess not. My wife hasnt noticed it in hers but i will be trying her phone out now that I know its the phone.
Surprised I havent found other complaing. Maybe I need to swap this thing out

No issues like that on mine. Data seems to always be smooth.

Sounds like a hardware issue. My iPhone 4S had this issue and my replacement was perfect.

Iam gettting that on xda too. I am using dagr8 rom.

*#*#4636#*#* will get you a ping test - choose "Info," then "Device information," which is actually telephone information. You can also get an app "Hidden Menus" from the Market which will save you the effort of keying all that in
*#0*# works to get into the Service Menu to test the rest of the phone out.

I am wondering if it's a modem issue. Any ideas if we have any other modems and can we flash modems from the first Note? I saw dagr8's thread on modems but no Att modems available to download. They are all bad links. I think they were having issues with them. I also saw someone posted a newer modem but it needs to be packaged in a zip.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I need multi view so I can watch and run ping the same time as browsing. I have to switch over to pinging app when I see no activity and buy the time I switch over its pinging away. It stops pinging when I am switched over on another app

GS4 lag, weird discovery

So we all know the GS4 out of the box has some atrocious lag. Well I went through the steps to clear a lot of it out without rooting. Just stock, and changing some settings within the OS itself. But I was still noticing some small lag here and there. Well it turns out I put my GS4 on the charger and start using it, and I notice that there is significantly less lag, I unplug it, and then it goes back to usual lag. I have done this back and forth a couple of times, with the same results.
So could it be that Samsung ramps up the CPU when on the charger?

I never experienced lag on this phone until yesterday and I noticed google services was using uo my battery. Went to the google settings and there is a new option call android device manager and I unchecked all the location settings and lag gone. Also if you have google currents go into settings and disable background sync.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Checked that and it's completely off. I wouldn't put it past Samsung do that, we've already seen them ramp up the processor and gpu for the benchmark rests, my guess is that they lower the clock speed when not charging or maybe below a certain percentage.

No lag here. Sorry to hear that bro
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

It's not like it's everywhere, it's just in a few places, like hangouts, where my One never lagged, or sometimes a jitter when swiping through apps or home screens. Guess I'm just not used to it coming from the One. But there is a difference in performance when plugged into a charger and not.

Watch a movie on the one or play a game. Its night and day compared to the S4.
My cousin has the one. YouTube takes at least 2 more seconds, worse quality, and skips.
Games skip/lag, and loading time is longer for the One.
You gotta take the good with the bad with either phone.

That is true, the YouTube app is much more solid on the GS4. But one small thing is that I get this huge black bar at the top of my YouTube app when I switch from portrait to landscape. Anyone know how to fix that?

That's just the app itself. That's not even a problem. If something like that REALLY bother you, then you're EXTREMELY anal about things.
P.s. I think you're a ONE fanboy that came on here to put down the S4.

Xda premium the most buggy app on my phone

Does anyone else have this problem? It only loads half the time I've been through multiple reinstalls on multiple different roms and it's still super unreliable.... I think it's ironic that the xda premium app is so buggy

Haha this is funny because I had to log on the computer to reply because my app won't load right now. It seems to work a little better when I'm not connected to a wifi network, though not by much (bad network connection isn't the cause).

Mine stalls and won't load half of the time too. I usually just hit the back button, then re-open the app and it loads on the second try. Slightly annoying but still faster than using the browser.

+1 this. Idk what the deal is. Half the time it won't even load period if I am connected to any WIFI source. I get a connection fail. Even when I use the data network it hangs half the time. When I do finally get it to where I can actually reply to something the message only posts 1/3 of the time. Otherwise I get a "you do not have permission..." blah blah blah. I don't even receive notifications anymore. The only way I know if someone responds to anything is when I get an email notification in Gmail. Idk what happened to this app. It used to be awesome.

I use wi-fi 90% of the time and don't have trouble loading any other app.
