Hey everyone, I'm getting this problem on my HTC One X. When playing videos on YouTube it makes harsh popping sounds a little bit like static. It also sticks an jumps a little bit on the video. I've tried this on multiple video, with and without headphones, WiFi and mobile internet, Beats enhancer on/off, old YouTube and latest version. How can I fix this? I spend a lot of time on YouTube but at the moment its unusable on my phone
How is the Netflix playback on this unit? Does it have 1080p playback like the Nexus 7? Any sync issues with sound? Does it look great?
I'm asking this as I recently bought the Xperia Tablet Z and it has quite possibly the worst Netflix playback I've ever seen, especially for such a high end unit. My Nexus 7 or even my older IPad are miles better. It looks like I will be returning the Sony and perhaps ordering one of these.
Any other Netflix junkies here?

Cant get the sound and video to sync. Varies from right on, to half a sec lag or lead of sound throughout the movie. Very disappointing and annoying at the same time. Posted asking if anyone else had this issue but no replies...
This is true even after todays last OTA update. The video looks great - not sure about the resolution
I've had it intermittently. once when starting the office and then when playing Hatfield and McCoy's. exiting out each movie and restarting fixed it most of the time and other times just made it better but not perfect.the last two test just a few minutes ago played perfectly. I did install the latest ota yesterday so it could be that fixed it.
and for the op I can't say much about 1080p Netflix since I've lowered the stream in my prefs. my daughter plays Netflix all day and the highest throughput we can get out here is 6Mbps on a 150Gb limit. the week I gave my daughter her opacity a few Christmases ago she nearly used up all our bandwidth in 1 week!
1080p local videos are beautiful though!
I'm on the newest update and just tried The Avengers. Video quality is great (looks 1080 to me), sound syncs fine, but I did notice the video flickering a little within the first few minutes. Didn't appear for the rest of the movie.

Im also on the newest build, and i just added two movies avengers and transformers in HD to my queue, and played them and they seem to be working flawlessly, the sound is synced perfectly, no lag between movie and soundtrack. Quite pleased working better than the iPad. Lol
Can also verify - newest build. Netflix is working flawlessly. Extremely happy with the playback right now

After playing around with Netflix I realized that when I plug in the headphones (wired), the audio/video playback is flawless i.e. no sync issues. When I connect my Bluetooth stereo headset (LG tone) the I am having terrible audio/video sync problems. Don't know if it's a problem with this specific Bluetooth headset or a problem in general with the Bluetooth of the tablet. I will try other Bluetooth headsets to verify.
Im sorry if im reviving an old post but i need to know this ..

This is a common issue with Bluetooth wireless speakers. I heard them talking about it on a Twit podcast recently. Try connecting via a wire and see if the problem goes away.

Every device I have lags on Bluetooth. You can't tell just playing audio (music) but with video the latency is apparent. The note works exactly the same.
Good to see this has good Netflix hope it's 1080p will be getting mines in a few days.
I bought a dknight magicbox Bluetooth speaker for my tab S 10.5. Podcasts and music streaming are fine, but streaming video with hbo go and max go I get audio lag and choppy video. Games are hopeless because of huge amount of dropped frames. Youtube is okay, though.
I thought hmm I guess that's why it costs $30 and not $50 or $100 like the other Bluetooth speakers. But I tried it on my iPad 3 with hbo and it is fine. I thought okay maybe the hbo app for android lags, so I tried it on my nook hd+ it is fine. Played fast and furious 6 very heavy action and no noticeable dropped frames.
The other thing is the tab cannot see my vizio 5.1 sound bar at all (does not show up after scan), but my other devices can see it just fine.
I've tried two different TW ROM and a cm12 ROM. Same result.
Anyone else has blue tooth issues like mine?
Oh yes I should say I am using 5Ghz Wi-Fi to avoid conflict with Bluetooth. That's not the problem.
The other thing I notice: I have touch sound enabled (tab plays a sound when you touch something on screen). Every time this happens, it causes the speaker to (beside playing the touch sound) make a humming / buzzing noise for like three seconds. doing the same thing on the nook hd+ does not produce the same noise. Do I think there is some kind of interference the tab is sending out to the speaker.
Hello. So when watching live streams through an app called Twitch, I encounter massive screen tearing. If I set the video quality to any quality other than auto, I get what looks like a vertical sync bug, where the video doesn't line up with itself properly. I attached a screenshot for clarity. Even when I keep the video quality set to auto, the video will freak out and glitch every 30 seconds or so. I can always hear the audio smoothly, and the frames are still being updated within the fragmented video pieces I receive. Note that streaming video on any other app (Opera, YouTube) works perfectly fine, regardless of what resolution I set the videos to. I am running the final Beanstalk KitKat 4.4.4 release, and haven't had problems with Twitch videos on Lollipop, but Lollipop's instability encouraged me to roll back to KK. I've tried forcing GPU acceleration and disabling HW overlays to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I'm facing serious lag in while my phone is connected to Bluetooth speakers and its actually affecting the video smoothness. It happens in any video playing apps like Netflix, YouTube and is really frustrating. If i disconnect and reconnect it is fine for a minute or two but again it starts happening. Any idea or suggestions?
Fyi - the sound is not lagging just for clarification.
