I don't use Youtube a whole lot, but every single video i have watched using the built-in app has sound/video out of sync. This happens over 3G or wifi.
Anyone else have this prob?
Yep. Had out of sync youtube. The latest ones I played were less out of sync. Maybe if I keep playing youtube clips every day the difference will get less and less every day.
I also get this problem, but it tends to be intermittant.
It may not just be YouTube - have a look at this thread too:

I'd be grateful if you could tell me if the attached mp4 files have the same out-of-sync issue on your Desire. They do on my HD2 but they play fine on a PC or the older HTC Touch HD. It may therefore be a Snapdragon chipset issue.
Started noticing that most videos I play from youtube whether though the built in app or the flash player are out of sync, not sure what's going on. Some videos are worse than others but not seen one that was perfect.
Also had the youtube app freeze a few times on me, for example when the unable to play video window pops up. Had to kill the app.
So is this a more general issue of video playback for Snapdragon chipset phones or not? There's a whole heap of stuff on the issue, which affects both YouTube and other video playback on the HD2 here:

I really would be grateful if some folk could try out at least one the test videos on the Desire and let us know if it is definitely in sync or not. Bear in mind that it's a small delay so you have to watch/listen carefully.
Thanks.
I watched both of the drum videos on both my pc and desire and found them both very difficult videos to judge, in the first the female drummers sticks are moving so quickly it kinda looked out of sync even on my pc. In the second the lip sync actually seemed ok on my phone, but with the transparent drum skin it was difficult to judge when the stick actually hit the drum.
I am currently copying a load of mp4 videos to my desire to do some more testing. I have also emailed HTC with my sync problems with youtube (mentioned that similar problem has been observed on the HD2) and wait to here if they have anything to say on the matter.
This is now confirmed as being a general video playback issue on the Desire as well as the HD2. It's therefore more than likely a Snapdragon chipset issue.
For a lot more info check out this HD2 thread, particularly post 94 and onwards from Desire users.

I copied about 6 episode of a tv show onto sd card which were transcoded by Doubletwist, and they seem to play back fine, if there is any delay its imperceivable as the lip sync seems fine (I have in the past calibrated sync timing for HDMI and optical connections in home cinema systems so I like to think I would notice any major delay).
However the sync is a real problem for me on youtube and other streaming media, here the sound is almost always unbearably out of sync.
Fwiw I find beebplayer to be hopelessly out of sync also
To prove once and for all whether it's just YouTube or not, you might want to try the two short videos in the zip file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6167143&postcount=128
The two clips are identical except one has had a deliberate 250ms audio delay inserted and one hasn't. Which one plays in sync on the Desire? Please let us know how you get on - thanks.
Well i just got the Desire, and vid 2 is much more in sync than number one,
Youtube is awful, iplayer a waste of time......
Considering these devices are sold on their screen quality etc, you would think you could watch a youtube video in sync, hell, Apple can do it on a touch, which is what i have to use for youtube, until I get the Ipad...........
Agreed the one with the delay added looks in sync, the one that plays fine on your PC looks out of sync. Anyone had anything back from HTC yet? I sent them a mail a couple of days ago not heard anything back yet.
Is this HTC issue or Google Android issue?
Someone has also Nexus One? How is it there?
Note that I saw this audio sync issue as well on my HTC Desire.

Definitely not a Google Android issue - it's the same on the HD2. It seems to affect all devices with the Snapdragon chipset. The sync problem doesn't exist on the Touch HD for example.
If anyone's raising this issue with HTC, they will appreciate it if you include the two files as an attachment. Then they can see exactly what you're talking about and won't just tell you to hard-reset your phone or use a different encoding method etc.
Wonder if anyone with an SE X10 is having the issue, that has a snapdragon so would prove a point. Had a quick search and can't find any mention of the issue on the x10 though.
How can they get this so wrong? the iPhone absolutely nails the desire in the media department - the quality of the stream and the audio output are far far better, and it really pains me to say that!
Response from HTC
Thank you for contacting us.
In regards to your enquiry about video/audio play back is poor,I can help you with that.
I suggest to call the hotline to book a repair to have the phone checked.
I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.
Thank you for contacting HTC.
Best regards
Carola R.
HTC
I hope HTC take note that this is a problem and stop sending crap customer reply "I can help with that, send your phone for repair" responses.
hopefully a software update can fix this issue. Youtube and mp4 files are out of sync on the phone.
Anyone with this issue need to raise it with HTC or they'll do nothing to fix it.
They've now asked me for my software version after I complained about having to send them my 2 week old phone.
Hi Guys.
My friend was trying to tell me how awesome NFC is, but no matter what we tried we cannot get it to work.
Its fine between his Nexus and S3, but neither will connect with my HOX.
I am running Leedroid, though im not sure that will matter.
I will try with my wifes HOX later, but has anyone else encountered trouble and how did you get it working?
lets get the stupid questions out of the way first...
You turned it on in settings >more >NFC?
you got android beam turned on just underneath that?
Yep, all of these things ticked.
And you are right, stupid questions out of the way first!
I tried with out my phone case and his phone case just to be sure. I tried all combinations of holding together (front to front, back to back, front to back etc) but still nothing.
Any other ideas would be great
I did succesfull with two HOX. And it worked fine to "beam" a contact (back on back) wich is opened. I'm also using NFC tags since weeks.
I think the problem are the two different vendors of the phones. Probably S Beam is not comptabile to Android Beam of HTC
S Beam is just for Galaxy S III. It should still support Android Beam. Yay for more proprietary standards.
Try it with another phone to see if its the HOX or SIII
My NFC worked fine for sharing a web link...
Thanks for the advice.
Tried with the wifes HOX, worked first time.
Guess it is a bit of a hiccup between vendors, might be something that gets patched in the future
ME TOO - But different issue?
I'm seeing similar...
Having now found out that Android Beam cannot be used for transfer of photos and video files, I discovered "Blue NFC"
The principle behind this app is simple...
When tapping your two devices together, the NFC chip, which is not suited for heavy file transfer, INSTEAD does the back-end work at automating a BLUETOOTH pairing between both devices, without any security questions, user action etc. It then uses BLUETOOTH to send the file, and then closes the connection.
But it seems there is some strange issue with the HTC One X...
As trying this method, bumping the devices (A Galaxy S3 and an HTC One X both with Blue NFC installed), causes the Galaxy S3 (as the host device) to allow me to tap to send the file to the One X...
Blue NFC sets up the Bluetooth connection automatically, and the file starts sending.
BUT... when it reaches 99%, on the HTC one X, I receive a "File Transfer/Could not be received" error, EVERY TIME.
Alas, I think this must have something to do with the new BT 4.0 spec on the Galaxy S3, and the HTC One X not supporting this, and I think this for the following reason...
Setting aside any fancy NFC wizardry, when trying a normal, traditional, Bluetooth image transfer the "old fashioned normal" way from a SGS3 to an HOX, the file transfers up to 99%, and fails every time then too.
Yet file sending FROM the HTC One X, back TO the SGS3, works fine.
The SGS3 can receive files fine. The HOX however cannot.
Has anyone else been able to send files either via:
1. ANDROID/S-Beam from SGS3 to HTC One X
2. Blue NFC from SGS3 to HOX
3. Traditional standard BT File Transfer from SGS3 to HOX
-
It's totally doing my head in!
Perhaps you can try File Expert. I don't know how it is establishing the transfer.
Early I read that the concepts planned to use WiFi direct to transfer data

The HTC One X is Bluetooth 4.0 so id doubt its that.
My NFC is not working at all. Can anybody help. It has just stopped, it worked on stock 1.28, since ive ran slim, arhd, + leedroid, now im on stock 1.29.401.11 and it is not working at all. can anybody please help
thanks

Another bit of info is that in alogcat, the software is switching NFC on and off with the screen state.
Is there a way the NFC hardware could have been damaged?

I figured mine out. The NFC chip is in the stock battery, so my non-OEM extended "2850 mAh" (they're pretty close to stock time-wise, though) effectively removes the NFC hardware from the phone.
So, I'm going to try putting some packing foam around the stock S3 battery in my Note and see if I can rig up or find the software to support it.
My wife got anS3 the other day, and every time we'e tried it with my HOX, I can't beam a picture. I've been able to transfer an app (link to the play store)
When I try to transfer a picture from the S3 to my HOX, I get the message,

As mentioned before the phones are not compatible. Perhaps it works if you use Roms like AOSP
ive just tried this with a galaxy s3 user and my CM10 HOX. worked well with youtube vids, pictures and contacts. The bumping phones process is a bit weird, to be honest
Glad to hear that this works with CM10, really disappointed that it doesn't work with Sense. Hopefully they fixed it in the Jellybean update?

Hello
My moto 360 when not connected to my phone counts very well my steps (I can see it from the google fit watch face) but when it reconnects to my phone, google fit app erases data from my watch and only "believes" the steps count from my phone....
So when I do sport (without my phone of course) my steps are not taken into account which is really annoying!
Do you know how we can force google fit to use my watch data? Moto body steps count seems to be good but I can't see the counts information on my phone...
Am I the only one in this situation?
Thanks
Unfortunately you're experience is not isolated and there is no way to fix it yourself. It seems to have gotten worse over the past two Google Fit updates. At this point you'll need to wait for Google to fix the issue.
this has been the case ever since
personally, i've switched to using UP for my step tracking... give it a try, you might like it
Hi all,
I couldn't find a similar topic in the SW3 forum, so apologies if this is a duplicate. I'm finding my SW 3 (running 5.1.1) will not count my steps on its own, only when I have my phone with me. I only got the watch a couple weeks ago, so not sure if it is a problem with the 5.1.1 update. As far as I understand, the watch should be able to count the steps on its own and then sync with my phone later...is this not correct? I know it has GPS to track runs with Endomondo, but I thought it had its own pedometer as well.
If this is indeed supposed to work, any ideas to fix it?
Welcome to the nightmare that is google fit. It's just awful and broken. Sync always screws up between the watch and the phone. It really is a joke. I honestly don't understand how google can allow something like this to happen. I use the jawbone up app, only version 4.4 because the latest update broke android wear compatibility. Works perfectly. I'll just wait till google get their act together. Hopefully it'll be soon.

Sync doesnt work properly with messages either if you dismiss it on the watch it still shows on the phone and tablet.

Oh, darn. I really wanted this watch for the fitness features. Bummer that one doesn't work.
edit: So I'm doing some testing and I suppose it really is Fit not syncing. Present my watch indicator for steps (Pujie Black, that is supposed to be connected to Fit) says 2282. Google Fit (app on watch and phone) says 2223. I just left my phone and walked around the office a bit. Indicator didn't change from 2282, but when I opened the Fit app on my watch I saw it quickly change from 2223 to 2249 and then back to 2223. Phone also says 2223. That is incredibly frustrating.

permissions off?
try going into the settings and then permissions, i found that in the permissions menu google fit did not have permission to access the sensors, this could possibly be the problem
Arent the offical youtube and google translate app support to be on the active 2 watch?
I do not seem them on here.
I also wonder about these things.... In my watch missing too
Just got mine today and same issue
i agree, they are missing from the watch, i know that tecace has a few versions of twitter and also youtube, but they are not the ones we are after, they seem to be the ones you find when you go looking. So i took to twitter and got in touch with support. they kept telling me that i needed to show evidence of these apps and should only trust official sources. Later i sent then more evidence, youtube videos of the stuff in action, straight up cold evidence....... They then said that these apps may be from another region and i needed to check the software version for updates. ( i had already done this) i entertained the idea, and still nothing...
what now? Well, they may just be unreleased until a future version, but it really does make me wonder, why show these on the reviewer versions and then pull them from live. I did also notice that the reviewer didnt have the LTE model, they had the bluetooth just like i did. The reviewer was CNET, if you are wondering which vid i am reffering to. I have also been on reddit and the people there are pointing to the tec ace versions which are on galaxy store.
For now, we just cant get them, but i have noticed there is a way to install "unknown apps" which is kind of the APK file. We just need to find the files, and we are then set!
I have the LTE version so it's not just with the Bluetooth version.
TBH one of the reason why I choose this one was due to the google translate option, I live in a foreign country so this was an extremely useful feature for me.
Good points:
Screen is very bright & clear
First battery cycle lasted about 56 hrs with wifi on and AOD off (not using lte feature) also several re-pairs etc.
Second battery cycle (still in progress) wifi on, AOD on (no lte). so far it's been about 15hrs and the watch is still at 56%
Much much faster than my old ****ty Zenwatch 3 that decided to stop turning on.
Bad Points:
Rotating bezel not on by default (let's deactivate our main selling feature out of the box). In the first few days I have noticed the bezel gets triggered a lot when you have your arms crossed as watch starts vibrating from the haptic feedback.
No Google translate app
No Youtube app (yes, I would actually use this )
No twitter app, not really concerned about this one.
No Samsung Pay option in the wearable app (using OP6T) it's available in my country just not there at all.
Step counter is pretty off, within 5 minutes of putting the watch on I had apparently done 600 steps??? still waiting for the firmware update to arrive to fix this and gps.
Battery charge is a tad slow, about 2.5-3 hrs for a full charge and the watch band for the Stainless Steel LTE version is kinda meh, not terrible but not great either.
Also received mine (44mm Active 2 Bluetooth) in Australia and its missing Google translate and YouTube also.
Thought it was just me that couldn't find the YouTube app. How odd.

i know from looking at the videos that are posted up on youtube, the app is not the one by tecace. I think its just not been released yet from Samsung. maybe the test version that was sent to reviewers was different
the tecace version runs out of uses each day, you get a nag to try again at 9am..... i cant imagine samsung sending out an app that does that.
Anyone find the youtube/twitter apps yet? Extremely irritated by this... when they made such a big deal about it and it doesn't even have it... poor form.
Maybe this article "helps"...

Such a disappointment, these apps go flaky due to too many API hits, then it closes off. Seems wrong of Samsung to advertise such a thing as a selling point then it doesn't actually do it
Yep saw that earlier. Definitely feel misled.
And now the youtube app is MIA altogether...

Did anyone manage to get the watch translator work?
When trying to open the link on my S10 it says "not available on your phone"
I've got the translate app. I downloaded it through the watches app store. I didn't look for the Youtube app or the Twitter app.
