Just wandering if anyone else experiences the weird issue i have. So i'm in Netflix app watching something and if you hold your finger on the scanner while something is playing does the video Lag for you or is it just me? Because it lags when you hold your finger on it then stops when your not. Any advice would help
I just tried it and I got the same thing. Very strange. I thought maybe it had something to do with the fingerprint reader always being active for the swipe down gesture but I turned that off and it still happened. I also tested with the apps for YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and HBO Go and none of those had the same issue.
The Netflix app does support the Oreo picture in picture feature. Maybe that is related somehow?
Either way I don't think it's a huge deal. Not something I've ever ran into until I read this post.

Hi. When I try to watch netflix movies on cm11 on my ouya, the movie would freeze at a random frame and gets stuck.
Does anyone else have this issue? If so, how can we resolve it?
What version of Netflix are you using?
Yeah, I've seen that happen with mine also. Haven't found a fix for it either, and it seems to occur at random. Not just when something else is hogging up all your Internet bandwidth. I think it has to do with the Ouya not buffering or caching the stream...
But since with CM11, you don't get player controls on Netflix (Play, Pause, FF with preview, etc) I use my WDTV for Netflix streaming in the bedroom instead...
Have you tried one of these versions in this post... http://www.progressivethink.in/on/ouya/and/netflix-on-ouya-now-with-profile-support/
Ok I'm using the app I posted above and I'm getting this issue also now and I'm on the stock OUYA ROM. I never used to have this problem, maybe something to do with Netflix itself? I wonder if any other devices are having problems?

Hey Guys,
Not sure if anyone's still look at this. Disabling the HW Overlay certainly does fix the freezing issue, but it really messes up the playback smoothness. It's especially noticeable with high action movies. I've tried a bunch of the other settings to like forcing GPU drawing, CPU and memory tweaks with no better results. I've gone back to playing it with the Overlay turned on for netflix. It will freeze a few times, but after several stop and restarts, it seems to play okay once the video catches up. It's just so random.
I would definitely rather play without Overlay since it gives me all the on screen controls in both Netflix and Youtube.
Is anyone haveing the problem where you open the camera app and it lags big time? It lags in both camera and video. Then when i do take a video it's choppy and bad quality. Also, if you hit the video button is it stopped to start recording right away or should it flip over to video like other Samsung devices do? Mine starts recording right away.

I only notice the lag on the phone, but also sometime in Chrome when I'm on this site. Is your lag bad enough where you can't even take a good video?
yes, it lags to the point that I think my phone locks-up.
I read somewhere where someone said that if you disable your SD card, the issue goes away. Try it, unmount your SD card.

I don't know it just started working again. But if it happens again I'll try to unmount the SD card. Do you know how to get to the video settings? Does the video automatically record in 4K? That will take up a lot of space.
yes, i think by default it is at 4k video. 16 megs when you click on setting while under camera.

Yes, I've noticed that as well on mine. To a point, where the phone almost stop responding when camera is on. I don't think it's hardware related at all, I could be wrong, I'm thinking more like a bug in the software. One easy way to get out the lag for me is to press the power button to turn of screen then turn back on, while on lock screen, swipe up the camera widget. That got rid of the overall lag and lockup for me. I know it will come back soon or later, just don't know what trigger it.
Do you guys get lag from the front camera? When you move, it's not in perfect sync. It also seems to give you a Jay Leno chin.
While watching Netflix, sometimes the video will freeze but audio continues. However, once I tilt or move the phone it will begin playing again. If I leave it still the video will not resume on it's own. I did not know how to begin to search for a similar problem to this without looking through every "Netflix freezing" post. Anyone else with something similar and a possible fix?
Happens to me... I think it's a Netflix issue for sure. I've been noticing this odd freezing across many devices lately...
Yeah like the previous poster stated there have been issues with Netflix on many devices. My fiance's note 8 has random freezes of video, my Pixel 2 XL, and Shield all have it too. It's not the phone, just a buggy Netflix app.
Hi,
So I offer this phone to my wife this xmas and everything was going smooth until we found this issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFdyDwuS_w
The bottom screen does this flickering when typing with Swiftkey keyboard on some apps. This one is Doggcatcher but it happens on other apps too.
If I swap to GBoard it does not happen. We're on Android Pie 9.0.
Has anyone found this issue?
Seems like a graphic bug in that specific keyboard.
Please, i need help.
Evaluate for yourself whether it is related to this topic.
Occasionally, graphical glitches appear on my Mi A2 lite, (4/64, Android Pie, December update, locked bootloader, no root, intact system).
In most cases, they flickering all over the screen, and in some other cases they are frozen, as is shown in attachment.
They are completely random and they appear through many applications that i use.
I can not determine the cause.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?
me... on chrome and all app that use webview... during call status bar is flickering... when switch to the camera in whatsapp with swipe to set status... and other
Something similar here, if Facebook Messenger chat head is overlaying YouTube it flickers a lot (only the actual video but the description and recommend are always working without flicker also no problems in fullscreen), less often it happens with Chrome and sometimes YouTube does it without Facebook Messenger even being open (Android Pie Dec. 5) [also it didn't happen for the first few weeks with 8.1 then Pie got released and worked well for some days then this started to happen]
I have that problem , the notification bar flickers a lot and when on video calls, it shows a black flickering rectangle at the bottom of the screen
Hi, I've got the same problem here. For me, the flickering appears when the keyboard is open, and get faster while typing, please does someone know how to fix that?

It is true that it is the keyboard, my keyboard developer is fixing the bug making it do that as we speak but in my case the whole screen flashes black instead of the little box you have
The problem with the flickering screen in some apps like Youtube, Chrome or Instagram can be fixed as follows:
Go to Developer Options and activate "disable hw overlays"
However, the setting must be set again after every Phone restart.

Isn't that bad long term?
"Without a hardware overlay every application that is displaying things on the screen will share video memory and will have to constantly check for collision and clipping to render a proper image, this can cost a lot of processing power. With a hardware overlay each application gets its own portion of video memory, getting rid of the need to check for collision and clipping."

Mine was having same flickering, checked HW overlays. It was disabled by default, I enabled it and now working perfectly. Thanks alot
Its been a long time since I have posted something on this site. Got myself a RM 5G, its been great so far. Noticed as of late when I am gaming or watching a video of any type youtube, netflix, facebook etc it will freeze for anywhere up to 3 seconds then continue playing.
It might not sound like its a big deal or anything, more annoying if anything. I have replicated this on lte and wifi in multiple locations. First i thought it may of been the android system viewer thing that was happening recently but I dont think it is now. Considering a factory reset to see if this works out.
Non rooted device, just seeing if anyone else has experienced this with there RM's? If so what did you do to fix the issue?
I have a section in this video that I was recording start the video from minute 18:40 and you will notice the lag to illustrate what I am explaining. This would happen while watching videos.
Cheers in advance.
