[BUG] Receiving a call with YouTube in fullscreen mode

Hello everyone. My wife and I just received 4.2.2 OTA for our GNEX and we discovered a bug. If you watch a YouTube video in fullscreen mode and receive a call, the video will keep playing (audio). You will see the call prompt, and if you swipe to answer, the audio from the video will keep playing in the ear piece rendering the call useless. Also, after ending the call (which you will have to do), the video will keep playing even with the default stock browser hidden in the background (this part I like). So Google, fix the full screen call bug, but add/keep the feature to keep playing Flash videos when the browser is hidden.
Edit: This is most likely unrelated to 4.2.2. I believe it's a Flash or stock browser bug.

We're running Takju, not that it makes a difference. Chrome doesn't support Flash, so if you are watching YouTube in Chrome, it must be HTML5. That would mean it's a Flash bug I guess. I will test the YouTube app. Thanks for the feedback!
Edit: I just tested the YouTube app and the bug is not present. So this is most likely a Flash bug, and since Flash is no longer officially supported, I don't think we will see a fix for this anytime soon.

But maybe it can be a bug of flash? I really don't know.
What browser or app are you using to watch flash videos on Android 4.2.2?
ok, We are waiting your feedback.. Your doubts/problem can be the same of many others

Yeah, I think it's a Flash bug. Like you said, the YouTube app doesn't have this problem. I usually watch YouTube videos using the stock browser.

Has anyone else experienced this bug using the stock browser?

[Q] HD Playback issue.

Is it just me or there's something wrong about playing HD videos on Nexus 7 2? It looks like "pixelated".

Well that certainly isn't HD video. This may be an issue with your internet than the actual device itself.

Thanks for the reply. I'm quite sure that's HD. I downloaded that video 1080p using IDM.

That isn't 1080p. I can assure you that. That has to be 320p.
I'll put a movie onto my Nexus that is 1080p and I'll see if it's like that tonight.

Is this the one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk
It's 720p, and at certain points a bit pixellated with contours.

I do not see any pixels. It may be the download manager you are using or your stream. I've attached a YouTube image from my browser, along with my Nexus 7 screenshot for you.

I use Flash Video Downloader, which downloads the entire file directly, rather than copying a stream. I'm also watching it on a full-size PC monitor, so the larger and brighter pixels let me see where the video quality isn't that great. At certain points it's clear (pun intended) with the video. In fact, I just noticed it's only 1280x534. Sometimes I wonder if "HD" videos people upload were upscaled from DVD.
Take for example this still at 0:42, saved as PNG with zero compression. JPG at 100% has similar quality.
Anyway, if this is the video the person's talking about, even if he had great throughput and HD on, it's not 1080p.

The left I can see pixels after a quick glimpse. My eyes are pretty bad but I do not see how the image on the right is contoured.
If it is what you say it is, then it's just an upscaled DVD rip and not actually blueray.

So I've been using this since released and it is an amazing rom, lovin it.
2 questions about the new camera though. I have seen a video where in split capture both front and rear record simultaneously, however it seems to only work capturing rear camera and then after capturing front camera. Is the M7 not capable of the simultaneous capture? Also does the M7 not support the Full Hd (1920x1080) resolution for videos? When attempting to record it looks very sharp and crisp but when playing the recording back i get blotched colors and a thick green and purple line on the right side of the video.

The m7 does not have native dual capture like the m8 does.
In regular camera before Eye experience, it is able to capture image from both, with a PictureInPicture looking window for front camera.
At one point, I attempted to try and enable dual capture for the m7, but did not have much luck and did not try for long.
It's possible that it could be enabled, but I have yet to do so.
Most of that would be done kernel side and I do believe it can be done.
But HTC never gave us that ability on the m7.
So yeah, to use dual capture/split view, it takes one and then the other.
As far as the video, yes it does HD.
I have yet to do a lot of video with the Eye camera, but I did not notice anything like that in my testing.
You may actually be one of the many who have an inferior sensor, as many have had to send theirs in for repair/replacement for similar issues.
It may just be that the newer camera stresses it more, making it more apparent.
I assume you are in fact on the latest firmware, so that shouldn't be a concern.
If others are having similar effects, then it could be a result of porting the libs and binaries for the new features from the m8.
But if it's just happening for you, or a select few, then I would lean towards the hardware failure that HTC is aware of.

Thanks for the info, after posting this i messed around with the settings for the video issue. This is what I came across, if I set video quality to 1920x1080 via settings and shoot video on auto i get what I described in my post. If I change from auto and shoot in hdr I do not get the blothchy color or lines but image seems to be zoomed in a little.
Now when i set video quality to 1280x720 via settings and shoot video on auto no image issues. If I change from auto to hdr still using 1280x720 in the settings i get a 1920x1080 video that looks like it should not zoomed in either.
Seems odd but got it working. So would this be a hardware issue like you suggested or issue with the app, seeing it was meant for the M8?
Thanks again for sharing your work !

Camera Issue
First off Santod, been using your ROMS for quite a while now and have greatly appreciated your hard work. I have just one problem with this new one, as I see someone has already stated, I too am having an issue with my camera during recording. It looks fine on the screen while recording, but after recording i go to look at the video, and it's almost as if the split picture is active, but only for the back camera. What I mean is that there appears to be a line cutting the screen into two sections (like the split picture does, but it's still the whole screen video from the back camera) and the colors are off, almost as if it has the negative filter on but not quite. I have not had any issue with the camera previous to installing this new ROM. There is also a green line that shows up on the top of the video, on all the videos i have taken. Im not entirely sure that it isn't a software issue as I haven't had any trouble on previous roms, but I'm sure you know a lot more about it than I do. I'm about to reflash the ROM and see if that doesn't maybe fix it, but I figured I would let you know of the only problem I have encountered so far. Thanks again for all your work!

I tried this also, and it had the exact same effect for me. I wish I would have seen this yesterday as I recorded a whole show last night with messed up video and didn't even know it lol. Thanks for this, I guess I will use this as a workaround for now.
---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------
Upon closer inspection when i played back the video on my computer, the video is actually two of the same videos playing next to each other, not a whole video cut in half by a line.

some bug, need fix
Before, i really Thanks You cuz best series Rom for M7 VWZ.
Yesterday, i up this Rom for my M7 VWZ, but have some bug ...
I'm from Vietnam and use GSM Sim, i'm up from NuSence 4.4.3 and have some bug....
1> Only Call success at first call, then need restart for other call.
2> have icon Sim Notsupport in status bar,
i was reup many times but it's still that, now, i;m go back NS 4.4.3
P/s: Can you port "Ufocus" on M8 for M7 VWZ ?

I don't have any reboot options on my power menu. The only options I see are "Power off" and "Airplane mode". I also can't find any options for changing this, either in the installer or in Settings. Is there a way to fix this without doing a full wipe?
If it makes any difference, I originally installed this ROM using a full wipe with Nova Launcher selected, then later re-installed without wipe to change the launcher to Blinkfeed (but the reboot option has never appeared with either launcher).

Issues with Chromecast
Hey Santod,
I have been trying to mirror my screen with the chromecast app. as it connects it then disconnects and never actually works. I had it working on your older Nusense Six 8.0. Just wondering if this is something you can work on or if this is something I will just have to wait until the next iteration of builds.
Thanks,
Kevin Clark

Casting screen with Chromecast
Does anyone else have issues casting your screen with Chromecast? I tried, and it immediately ends the cast, leaving my TV at a black screen.
Thanka

I can also confirm that screen casting my screen no longer works as it did in the previous NuSense. So far this only appears to be an issue with Mirroring. Casting from apps like Youtube and Netflix work fine for me.

My battery life with this rom has been insane. I'd be at thirty percent after ten hours on gpe and dirty unicorns and the dalvik version of nusense.
Thanks for making a great rom, looking forward to Chromecast screen mirroring.

So I can't get ART to stick. Every time i switch to it and reboot it doesnt change. I am using xposed modules if that makes a difference

epst programming works?

In having an issue with Bluetooth audio
I can pair my head set but it won't pass any audio
Any ideas?

Anyone else having issues with GPS / Google Maps on this ROM?

Was this version supposed to not have the Sense toolbox installed with it? I'm not sure how else to enable the swipe-typing otherwise...?

Issues switching to ART
Hey Santod,
I haven't gotten any reply from you about the chromecast issue. I understand. You are a great developer. I did have a quick question about ART though. I tried to switch my Phone to ART, but it didn't actually switch over when I told it to reboot to switch to ART. What am I doing wrong?

Currently I have a broken arm, so my presence and ability to type are somewhat effected.
i dont use Chromecast so cant help too much there.
i know I saw info online about it and how you have to access it differently then what seemed obvious.
As for Art, Xposed is not Art compatible and will auto revert you to dalvik if enabled.
So you have to choose one or the other, which is why I left Xposed out of this build.

Camera quality problems uploading and sending

Hey guys. I am taking pictures and video at 60FPS with this camera and they are awesome but I've noticed sending them through text destroys the quality and was wondering if anyone else was having this problem? Also Facebook as well I upload a video in HD and it the quality comes out horrible (yes I have the setting on in Facebook to upload in HD). Is there a known issue with this and does anyone know a work around, if so? Thanks in advance!

Texting videos always makes it very low quality. Facebook is only a little better even when HD is checked. You can post to youtube in 4k and share the link in facebook.
Edit: And it supports 60fps.

See that's what's weird, I know it supports it but I tried uploading the video I took in 1080p 60FPS and if comes out in crap quality. I just don't get it... Used to take 4k videos with my Samsung and never had this issue

It is in lowish light quality. Like I said completely unedited. It shows at 1080p after reloading the player. I guess it takes time for youtube to process. In what way is your video bad?

I think I understand what you are saying. Unfortunately I was shooting on a very grainy textured wall. Try saving the video to a computer first and then upload it. Just in case the built in uploader is processing it before sending. Will have to check and see what is doing it. You can also try copying a good 4k video and sending it to see if it knows where it is coming from and trying to convert it. I did notice the quality improved over time as youtube seems to do some background conversion. As far as the difference from your samsung device you can compare by sending a video from the pixel that you shot on your samsung.
Interesting to see if something changes. I use to use a special app for sending HD pivtures and videos to Facebook that worked very well. Check the Play Store

Your welcome. I understand about Facebook. Was never happy with the picture or video quality. I think they are being to cheap on server space to host them. I recommend uploading somewhere else and just sharing the link. Facebook's link support is pretty good anyways. Since you have a Pixel phone you have unlimited picture and video backup at full quality anyways.

A2lite Android 10 windowed video overlay performance (very specific issue)

Hi, can anyone with android 10 (QDLMIXM) please try this?
1) Play a Youtube video in 720 or 1080p (I use the Vanced app but this isn't even youtube specific afaik, just very clear to see!)
2) NOT FULLSCREEN video (fullscreen seems ok)
3) Adjust the volume and observe video.
Does video playback stay smooth while volume overlay is on screen?
Mine is jerky as hell and I want to know if it's worth trying reset etc before i roll back to 9, which sounds a right pain.
I tried disabling HW GUI in overlay options and that makes things slow all the time, so worse.
This seems related to all the slowdown issues i'm having with 10, with most apps. It's awful!
Makes even typing difficult. Phone ruined basically. Same for everyone or just me?

Thank you. Right, seemsi've got something messed up with my phone then, might be worth a full reset unless anyone has better ideas what it could be please?
Shame because this is really only issue i've got with 10 (so far...). Thanks for trying that.

This is quite sad. I have the same issues on YouTube (both official and vanced), and severe lag on Reddit, Messenger and Discord, along with Gboard which has killed my typing experience. Nothing but pain on this phone recently.
