[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CitrixLemon:
Yeah I was also having problems with certain video files. A couple of .m4v's that I tried to put on my phone would crash the video app if I put in or pulled out my headphones while the video was playing. Seems to be isolated to particular file types/codecs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drksilenc:
what is the res of the video you are trying to watch. what is the actual video codec on it and are there subtitles?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zanthian:

Try something for me , connect phone to your PC thro USB , and then try playing video on your phone , report results ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] circuit.007:
I'm not sure how to see what is the actual video and audio codec, how do i check it?

The video files are mkv 720p blu ray rips.

I tried connected my phone to my pc via usb and tried playing video like you said and i couldnt really see a difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] S3owner:
I think we need to wait for the video player app developers to produce extensions that work with or provide true hardware acceleration for our new hardware, the best player I've found right now for the GS3 is BSplayer lite.

Ironically BSplayer gave me the worst performance on the GS2.

anyway try BSplayer lite on your GS3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] drksilenc:
720p bluray rips will kill most portable devices they are MUCH higher bitrate than a standard 720p movie. you need to downsize them if you want to play them smothly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vw671:
Try MXplayer with their ARM7 codec pack.

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=mxplayer&c=apps

I just converted a bluray movie down to 1280x536 with Handbrake and it plays like butter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] munkyc:
I also experienced problems with the 720p .mkv files I ripped my blurays to for portable use - but moreso with sound being out of sync with the video. I had the same problem with my GS2 when I upgraded to 4.0. I re-ripped my whole collection using the same compression rate into .mp4 and they all play flawlessly now. Anything I have that is .mkv simply doesn't play nice on both my GS2 and GS3 with 4.0.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vw671:
MKV is not a codec...it's just a container format like AVI.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ghost77:
From my experiance/experimenting biggest culprit is always "stagefright" being enabled , screws up hardware decoding on many levels. On my ATT GS3 , it was enabled by default, i could not play my 720p 60fps music videos , i got "Blade Buddy" it lets you mess with some system settings easily (however i dont know witch setting specifically triggered it), after messing with it and doing soft reboot , my GS3 now performs as it should , can play even higher then 720p , latest one i tried was 1440x810 @ 60fps High profile H264 , all smooth and nice , 1080p@60fps was to much though , all common <=30fps videos play problem free.

In Blade Buddy under Basic settings i toggled off "Compatibility Mode"

Under Advanced settings i toggled off stagefright , then hitting menu button clicking apply , and selecting soft reboot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] polish_pat:
There must be something wrong with your setup or codecs or i dont know what because i have a NAS and i STREAM 720p blu-ray rips of about 5gbs a movie off my HDD attached to my router, i stream them and get 0 lag, even when i advance the movie, it takes 1/4 of a second to buffer and play the movie, and again i get 0 lag. i use BS player Lite

so its not the phone, trust me
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] JUSMEJOSE:
I have played mkv videos and I have no problem ... the video format is hd 720 mp4
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] circuit.007:
So it seems that some people can play 720 blu ray rips just fine with no problem while others can't and need to change the format. I find this rather odd. I haven't tried streaming these videos but ill try and report back but I think it would be worse because if it can't handle playing from the device the added pressure of streaming would make it worse. Somebody mentioned audio being out of sync, I don't have that problem at all. And it's not like the video is severely laggy its like it plays but it stutters as it goes to the next frame its so hard to explain ill see if I can record it and show you guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fallguy1:
for a 720p bluray rip/hd rip movie, i still run it through handbrake to get the file size down. i set res to 1280xtakewhatevericanget from the original source. output as mp4 in that case (still h.264). i tend to crank the audio up a bit too, since it helps on airplanes or whatever with movie dialogue.

i haven't really tried dragging over a full on 4+gb 720p blu ray rip .mkv file...then again mtp sucks ass, so i'll do anything i can to get file size down.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] vw671:
Fat32 maxes out with 2GB files.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] djricekcn:
it's not the mkv that's causing it's issue, it's what's inside the mkv that's causing the problems. not just codec but bitrate and other small things could matter. Also, if it's software and not hardware like the ipad, even if meets the criteria hardware wise, it can cause an issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] moonfire711:
As someone that works with video filming and editing quite a bit, I would say that your bit rate is probably the number one concern. If you try two movies, with the same codec, in the same container, at different bit rates, you will see a large difference in the ability to play back smoothly. You will sacrifice some quality, but on a screen this size, watching a 720p movie is not the same as on a 50" screen now matter how much you want to believe that it is.

Now, if you plan to hook your phone to a 50" screen to watch the movie, remember that a bluray player will surely do a better job than your phone. Good luck, and happy flashing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] circuit.007:
So you guys recommend I should use a file converter to convert it into mp4 and use a program like handbrake or something to compress the bit rate? I do think the video file is already compressed since it is only like 700-800mb

And if so what do you think the highest bitrate/ resolution the s3 can smoothly playback?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ghost77:
I just tested a 1600x900 60fps 9000Kbps music video, it plays it without problem.

As for your 700-800mb movie-rip , i am pretty sure its low bitrate probably 500 to 900 Kbps , and its laggy because some amature encoded it with none DXVA compliant settings , mobile codecs are much more sensitive then PC , i just found a movie rip its 1280x544 23~ Fps 800Kbps <600MB> MKV and it runs like dog , tried few others from different scene groups and they ran just fine, if you have a Brluray your self best is just to rip it your self ,that is what i do.

I use MeGUI for encoding / transcoding.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] myrez:
I didn't want to start a new thread for this noobness but bare with me. I decided to place a digital copy of Act of Valor on my GS3. Fox digital copy beta doesn't play nice with rooted devices. So this leads me to the follow uber noob questions.

What is the most straight forward way to transfer Blurays to my phone?

Can the same process be used for DVDs?

Should I even bother with digital copies since I cannot find a video player that will play them?

How do you get around DRM? I own the media so I'm not looking to scam anyone out of money.

Thanks guys

hi,

im close to buying the sensation xl but i have a few questions please:

is there a difference between the sensation X315e XL and the sensation LITE XL?

ive read that there are fake sensation XLs, how close can they come to the original and how do i know if i have one? could i check the serial on the phone with HTC or use a firmware to check it?

thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] bondarun:
Check for Beats Audio :D

Its Unique for XE and XL.

Also See for the build quality. Nothing can beat the original HTC build.

Also trying using some information tools to check whether the Hardware are the same.
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
The fake ones are nothing like the real ones. They look real and thats it. They use diffrent hardware and have a diffrent bootloader. They are not compatible with any Sensation.XL official rom or custom roms.

Fraud

We consumers are always put on the burner by these organisations by false promises.

The only reason i went for Galaxy R was that by march it was going to get ICS and the specs looks sturdy.

Else i would have waited happily for an ICS Phone and owing to false promises by Samsung , a lot of us have landed up with this phone

How about this? - Can we all write a petition and get this thing moving if a few of us agree.

h**p:// w w w.vakilno1 .c o m/bareacts/indiancontractact/s17.html

The Indian Contract Act, 1872

17. "fraud defined "

"Fraud" means and includes any of the following acts committed by a party to a contract, or with his connivance, or by his agents,1 with intent to deceive another party thereto his agent, or to induce him to enter into the contract;

(1) the suggestion as a fact, of that which is not true, by one who does not believe it to be true;

(2) the active concealment of a fact by one having knowledge or belief of the fact;

(3) a promise made without any intention of performing it;

(4) any other act fitted to deceive;

(5) any such act or omission as the law specially declares to be fraudulent.

I am not really sure which all laws work but i really think we should hire a lawyer and sue samsung for a huge hefty amount and if we get a landmark verdict .. things will roll out .. :good:

Fraud

Well do you think if they have a samsung galaxy s4 rollout and s3 and s2 upgrade to jelly bean that we will ever get Galaxy R ICS..

Jelly bean is out and i think its time some action are took so that they understand.

Google should step in and give an ultimatum to organisations to have a upgrade schedule within X months else should blacklist them.

Alternate is google should say each phone should support two variation of operating system updates -

1) From my OS knowledge the key for an hardware to work on any operating system is drivers.

The vanilla version of OS released by google should be made available to all consumers and vendor should be given a max span of a month to prepare drivers for existing phones to support the vanilla OS. No nvidia ****ty crap should be allowed.

2) They can prepare their own freaking crappy variation and take their years to release the OS by signing up with other parties and putting in bloatware and people can download that.

In US , the court rooms are strong and donot think or ponder before announcing a decision against an organisation for non commitment to their words and they are more consumer friendly. In india , they care a f***.

I am personally of a opinion we should file a case of fraud against SAMMY.

Vote we create a thread for the same. Lets see how many people agree to it.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Buddy I have already started petition for drivers (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1799498) and if they won't provide drivers we can go to legal way. (But it will require persons with good legal knowledge, fund and also lot of time)

We should put on twitter our demands on Samsung/LG vendors page and make them see the unrest which begins.

We should sue them for 10 million which should go to charity and have them deliver our ics/jelly bean and charges spent on lawyers.

Hey guys !

I made a quick NoIncRing MOD, I figured while i was at it i would explain how to create the MOD.

I would like to Thank criskelo for his ZIP :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1700174

I don't own an S3 but i did have the mod checked by an owner (works), i don't know what rom's it will work on so make a backup (as i said in the instructions).

How to Flash :

1. make sure you phone has a CWM recovery

2. backup SecPhone.apk and Secphone.odex (for odex rom's)

3. download the zip and place it in your internal SD

4. flash using, install zip from sd - choose zip from sd card

Download :

http://www.mediafire.com/?l8hox702d2t3m9y - Fixed :)

*the fix replaces SecPhone.apk with SecPhone_ATT.apk and erases the correct odex file.

I'll be happy to make Mod's for Any ROM you want. Simply attach the SecPhone.apk application from System/app

HOW TO ?

1. extract Secphone.apk from your phone/rom - system/app

2. download baksmali.jar and smali.jar from : http://code.google.com/p/smali/

3. extract classes.dex from SecPhone.apk

4. Put the classes.dex in to a folder alon with smali.jar and backsmali.jar then open a COMMAND window and navigate to the folder.

5. enter the following command :

6. You will now have an OUT folder, inside find : Ringer$1.smali

7. Look for 2 lines containing :

8. Erase them (one is at the middle and one at the end)

9. now go back to your folder with classes.dex, OUT folder and smali.jar and erase classes.dex (VERY IMPORTANT !!)

10. In the command window enter :

11. Now you will have a new classes.dex , drag it back in to your SecPhone.apk and in to my ZIP.

12. Flash and enjoy :)
