netflix really bad audio lag?

I've never had perfect audio latency on android but on my Moto G compared to my other devices the netflix lag seems significantly bad.
I am currently running latest netflix.
Is this a known issue or is there anything i can do to improve it?

It could be Netflix is too intensive for 4 A7's. I see you own a NV Shield, which has an amazing performance gap between the Moto G. You may need to wait for kitkat to fix speed issues, the S400 is an entry level chip.

That really doesn't make sense though, I mean every review says it handles Netflix just fine. I think OP probably needs to reinstall the app or clear data.

I started a similar thread because I'm experiencing the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587045
I'm running Kitkat and the audio and video is typically off by 1 second or so. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, downgrading to previous versions, and even switching from Dalvik to ART. This happens on both Wifi and 3G.

In settings - Sound - Audio Effects turn the switch off and try again, i wonder if it solves the problem?

I don't think this is the case. I used to watch Netflix on my Desire HD which has a single 1ghz core and the performance was great, as it is now on my Moto G.

Are you on 4.3 or 4.4? I've tried everything, including disabling all audio effects, and there is still a lag with Netflix on the G.

Something like that is happening here, but it is a Nexus 4 running 4.4.2
Audio seems to have little lags, shattering... it is not smooth.
and it runs great on my old optimus black.
and everyone i ask, they say it runs nice on their nexus 4 4.4.2 ...
this audio "lag" is really annoying... im not sure if i wait a netflix app update, or if i try to going back to 4.2.2 and see if it is working nice.

Audio lag , echo , doubling in games

Hello guys.
I wanted to ask you where might be the problem because in some games the audio is lagging ,echo or doubling , i dont even know how to describe it , it happens in some roms and currently im on temasek 4.6 android 6.0.I experienced this in lolipop but the crappy sound was when i played games and the sound was going through bt headphones.So whats the problem?Audio drivers?I installed viper4x driver thst came with the rom ,no changes tho.

Hello and thank you for using Q&A,
we can not fix this problem, because Samsung only supported this device until 4.3. We don't have the drivers and it won't be fixed.
Regards,
Trafalgar Square

Pubg mobile-lagging with sd 821?!!

Mi5s has sd 821 which can take any android games on high settings smoothly..
But my mi5s is lagging while pubg is on high graphics settings where mi5 running it on high setting smoothly
i am on miui 9.2.1.0 global
anyone else facing that problem?!

Some tips from miui forum:
1. Change your model to OPPO (maybe R11s or others), in build.prop or with xposed module. It was said to work in games from tencent
2. Flash an LOS/aosp rom
3. Remove the temperature control file: http://en.miui.com/thread-635457-1-1.html
Either of these was said to be working, but I never played big games like pubg

Same problem here.. it's like playing a YouTube video at 0.5x speed.But I'm using Los 15.1. I use kernel adiutor for good performance but pubg still lagging. Any solution?

So you are comparing phone that has SD835 or Samsung Exynos processor with our phone, are you stupid or what

I did 3rd solution and it worked. Works like a charm

Do you have any overheating while playing or charging phone? If you are on MIUI

You have just proved me right you are missing context and you are giving info that is not relevant in thread regarding mi5s.

I read some reports of Google Pixel users, who have the same problem. They also run Snapdragon 821.

I can't apply hd settings. Any solution? I'm currently using pixel experience

I can't find the mentioned file in the 3rd option any solution?

if you follow the link:
" To delete the thermal-engine-8996.conf file you must be rooted your device and use X-plore file manager to go to /system/etc and find thermal-engine-8996.conf and delete it . REboot your phone to feel the beat"
It could be risky

I've experiemced the same problem here! Im using LineageOS, but previously using latest MIUI global stable rom. Unfortunately, using miui, playing pubg is really laggy most of the times. I tried to flash Lineageos 15.1, sadly the lag in pubg still exists and even worse! Roatating the character flickers. I haven't experience that much lag with some other games using my mi 5s. Hope this is only a game/software issue though

exynos laggs....on SD 835 it works fluently

Based on my experience with the game on a high-end PC, I think the game is simply badly optimized. It also runs quite bad on fast PCs.

Not so much. I am using the latest MIUI Global rom.

It runs ultra smooth on the Oneplus 5T, but on the Mi5s sometimes it lags, I was thinking on flashing LOS to the Mi5S but seems that it doesn't matter it still lags its really annoying

[HELP] iSSUE WITH INSTAGRAM IN NUBIA Z11 + Sudden Apps Closing

Good day guys,
I have a ZTE Nubia Z11 (128 GB ROM+ 6GB RAM) and currently I am facing an issue with the Instagram App.
The issue is that I can not play the videos and the stories if the are videos too.
To play them I have to go to the app setting and clear the instagram DATA then log in back to instagram again and the videos will play.
Once I get out of the instagram app, it stops again playing the videos.
The other issue is that sudden closer of the apps and games.
Does anybody have experienced the same issues ? I need your help
Thanks

Yup, i have the same problem, you can temporarily fix it by wiping the app's data, but it comes back after a while.
Im really starting to regret buying this device, updates are inconsistent and slow, just really sucks. We just have to wait for who know how long until they release an new update.

Thanks bro....thats exactly what I am doing and I am upset of this problem and still searching for how to solve it

I think last instagram updates cause this problem with nubia 3.05 rom. I have the same issue. I also have update issue in palystore. I thought i solved it but eventually you will be facing with many problems with Nubia phones. Worst software support phone with best hardaware (for it's time).

I just updated to the last version of instagram hopefully this will fix this

Didn't solve mine. Problem's source is Nubia Rom. I'll buy One Plus 6 whenever it comes to my country. Life is too short to deal with Nubia problems.

Now it's worse no videos are playing at all
I was thinking to updgrade to nubia Z18 but I think this my last nubia
I am thinking to go downgrade to NU4 Rom instead of NU5 to solve this problem

I made a factory reset this morning. This will keep my phone work normal for a while.

Good news I solve the issue finally. I think the problem was with the latest updates by Instagram as TeslaTR said.
Currently I downloaded Instagram version (35.0.0.20.96) and so far since this morning the videos are working fine without any problem. There might be another newer version that will work but I think I will stay in this version since it working fine with me

So far the videos are still working for two days

Just an update .... The problem is not coming back.... I think I will stay at this version

I turned my phone back to Chinese rom 2.75 and latest gapps. Everything works perfect and fluent now. I2ll not update phone to android 7.1 once again. Android 6 based rom is really stable and faster. It boots almost half time of android 7. Instagram is working perfect.

I think I will do the same, I do have another ZTE Nubia Z11 with NU4 running Android 6 and I noticed that it is running much faster then the NU5 with Android 7.
Is there any special procedures or hints to do this downgrade?
Does the Chinese version support Arabic Language ?
would you check out for me in the languages setting?
Please let me know

problem is solved by downgrading to Android 6
Even the phone is much way faster now

Redmi Note 8 Pro screen recorder problem.

Hey guys i'm new here and sorry about my bad English grammar.
i'm a rhythm player and i found out that my Redmi Note 8 Pro screen recorder only have 1Mbps and 4Mbps on video quality only. The audio also a bit delay when i was recording games such as BangDream or Cytus II.
Did anyone the audio delay problem too?

For me, I'm not experiencing significant audio delaying issues. But, I'm only recording lightweight task like Instagram stories and video instead of games like Cytus. So, I'm thinking maybe the "audio delay" u experiencing is maybe due to the increased load in CPU?
Have u tried to record in lower resolution and lower quality? Does it helps with the "audio delay"?

I tried it before, the problem still there. Wasn't the CPU problem because i will make sure the background apps are closed when i record videos. Close the game turbo performance mode or even game turbo itself still didn't solve my problem :/
