[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
I am interested how the Galaxy S III performs when playing video files with 10-bit color. Since the Exynos 4412 is based in the same design as the Galaxy S II, I assume that it will not include hardware capabilities to decode videos encoded with 10-bit with hardware acceleration.

There are some good video players such as Dice Player and MX Player Pro that support software decoding videos. However, 10-bit video decoding is quite demanding in software. To my knowledge, no device on the market currently supports the necessary performance to play videos smoothly. The Galaxy S III seems to perform quite good in benchmarks. However, I could not find any information if anyone tested videos with Hi10p.

I imagine that I am not the only person looking for Android devices that can play videos with Hi10p. If someone already has a Galaxy S III, I would be interested to know how it fares.

MX Player Pro on a Galaxy S II or Galaxy Nexus can play 10-bit videos without artifacts and scenes without much action are watchable, but action intensive scenes have massive slow done. The extra performance of the SGS3 might make it possible to make playback much smoother.

I would be interested to know as well so I can just dump all my anime on my phone for train journeys without having to convert them first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ch7:
Even without a GS3 on hand, I can sort of give a good educated opinion on this.

I've been playing 10-bit encodes on my Transformer Prime which has a Tegra 3. OCed to 1.5ghz, a ~1.5mbps 720p TV anime encode will play okay (I want o say anywhere from 15-23fps) which is fine for watching something on the go (you'll still see slowdown, but it's mostly bearable). I need to OC to around 1.6ghz for more demanding 720p blu-ray rips with FLAC audio (why? so, audio doesn't drop during high motion scanes). References frames, is a big factor in playback smoothness as more ref frames require more cpu power to decode.

Since software decoding a video file is relying purely on the CPU, unless Samsung really did something with the Cortex-A9 in the Exynos (unless memory subsystem has an effect), then I would presume playback is going to be roughly the same on the GS3.

I do have say though the developers of MX Video Player has really done a great job getting better performance out of software decoding.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
My Galaxy Note can play up to 720p Hi10p fairly well, I expect that the S3 will do better (and should certainly do better than the Transformer Prime going off how Hi10p plays on my One X).

I have some 10-bit files at 720p and 1080p in my test files batch, will test it on the day of release here and update you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeonxt:
thanks for this info as well.

btw, can you be clearer on how hox performs playing hi10p vids?

tia.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3ch7:
That's interesting. Are you using MX Player and doing fast software decode on both phones? With MX Player you can change how many cores it can use for software decoding since that is the only way to playback hi10p files without artifacts.

I can't see the Galaxy Note do better on software decoding compared to a Tegra 3 device since decoding hi10p videos is pure cpu and both SoCs use the ARM Cortex-A9 (since video decoding is multi-threaded under MX Player, more core is better).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
I had heard that some people are getting some results with Tegra 3. Seeing that the SGS3 did well in benchmarks, I was hoping that Samsung did a wizbang job with the SoC and that it might outperform Tegra 3 in this regard.

If rumors are true and Samsung is using the Exynos 4412 in future tablets such as the Galaxy Note 10, results of the new chip would be even more interesting.

I was hoping that someone who already has a SGS3 could shed some light in this matter. In Germany, the white SGS3 seems to be available since Friday and some people may also have one early.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
Using Dice Player. I use hardware decoding by default in Dice and from memory it didn't prompt me to change to software decoding (can't remember for sure, was weeks ago when I tested them and I deleted the test files from the Note after to make space). Will check again.

The 10-bit files are ones I actually haven't checked on my One X, will get around to that shortly also.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proudixz:
i remember all video files 700+ mb 720p or 1080p lagged on SG2 (low frames) i hope it wont be like that on SG3.would love to see how it does over MHL on tv 1080p movie that has like 2-3gb
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toss3:
Are you talking about 10bit files? Because my SGS2 at least plays most mkvs without a hint of a stutter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
I will have my S3 next week and will report then how it well it works. To my surprise, it seems no one with the device tested this yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
Did you see my tests? They are just a few posts above yours ;) I have no idea why you did another test, but thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_uz:
I saw the post, but I was under the impression that we were talking about the Galaxy Note, as some posts above seemed to be talking about the performance of the Galaxy Note. I read the posts on my mobile device and only glanced trough them, hence why I had misinterpreted.

I think my test files complement your tests nicely. Thank you for your tests.

Good news for you if you have Asus Eeee pad TF700 it actually plays (using stock player) both of the samples nicely with some artifacts more visible with 720p sample. But the TF700 is in pre-order mode around the world while it suffers major issues if you search in its own forum section. Issues such as back camera, skype crash with accessing back camera, kernel v2.6 much older than the kernel came with sgs3 which is 3.0.

The downloaded content from the youtube link is a 1080p vp8 vorbis stream in mkv container, the TF700 actually have problems playback this file.

Then again sgs3 stock player plays this vp8 file in a watchable state with frame drops and some freezes.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flabbergaster1:
I just got an S3 today, what's the best player for Hi10p? I've read a little and saw MX Player Pro was smooth. Is it consistent with the sound, subs, and video quality? I had a problem with my old phone that the images would stutter and blotches of bright colors would wreck the screen.

Is it possible to decode Hi10p back to maybe 8bit or regular to make it easier on the phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AllWrong74:
There's a huge dead spot (like 2 miles) on my trip to-from work. Going down the same road, it's about a mile larger going home than coming to work. Add in overcast, and I have issues in the middle of town, too. I'm using the UCKL2 modem. I've had even bigger dead spot problems with the UCLB3 modem that comes default with Emancipation (the ROM I'm using).

My question is, which modem typically gets the best reception? I'm not that worried about battery life, as I'm not away from a wall socket that much. I can charge it while I'm at work if necessary. I want to avoid having to flash every modem if I can.

Any suggestions, guys?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kdog71588:
Well each modem is different for each person when it comes to signal battery life and such I'm in atlanta,ga and I get best signal and battery on uclb3 with no moms issues so basically you just have to try and see what works best for you in ur area :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Clark Joseph Kent:
That really depends on your location....as you know you have some dead spots in your areas.

Some location have great svc so testing a modem is not needed.

While others not so good svc.

What i did for my area which is ones of those not so good....i put abt 5 diff modems on my sd....flash one tried it for a day or so ...flashed another...to see if any improvement...for me lb3/l2 seem the best.

And since diablo made them flashable...makes it easier...

good luck...

Maclaw is just giving us ONE rom. Ketut is the reason behind the smiles of those hundreds of ace developers who find making ROMs for ace very easy. And also the reason behind the smiles of those millions of users who use those ROMs. Go and check development threads of other devices such as gio, fit etc. Its very difficult to cook roms. For ace its very easy because of ketut's cf root kernel. I am pretty sure 'CoolCatGetHome' aka 'Spacecaker' would agree with me on this. He has had a tough time fixing gio roms.
