Yeah, that is workaround. But is there a fix for it.

I have just installed official stock ROM and the result is the same. Is this some new Jelly Bean "feature" I have to accept or what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bouncynemoss:
So, I've been trying to play 720p Anime lately but the videos are really choppy and the audio ends up desyncing because of the lag. I've tried Dice player and MX player.

The video is h264, with AAC audio in a MKV format. About 300 MB for a 23 minute episode.

(If you're interested in the anime, it's sword art online 720p. Watch it! It's a great anime)

Anyways. I never had this problem with shows/movies that are 720p + h264. I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this when playing anime.

I've demuxed the container into a mp4 container, but the video still lags. =( so it's not MKV's fault.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Register_:
Hi,

EDIT

Resolved it (kinda), I shut the "Economy mode" and the screen stop the flickering....

---

I'm creating a new thread for this problem got an answer there telling me it's my phone, but I would like to know if somebody else notice this.

It's like on good old CRT. Got a Note I (got stolen) bought a Note 2 and I can see a flickering, like if the display had a 60Hz refresh rate, never notice such a thing with the Note I.

It's more noticeable on white screens. And when you are using peripheral vision, by pointing your eyes like 10 centimeters from the side of the device, the flickering must be more visible

The effect looks like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jHOwE8MqA not mine but can give an idea of the problem.

Thanks

Never notice it with my Note I, it seems that it's partly due to AMOLED technology, but as I did not notice it on my Note I...

Maybe it varies form device to device...

My scraan is flickering too. Feels like old CRT TV. When brightness not at 100% level I can observe this problem. Looks like samsung using PWM to control brightness. I think this is terrible. And I hope this can be fixed by software (adjust brightness by gamma correction etc)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billygr:
mine also sometimes flickering on the lock screen in the near clock area for about 0,5-1 sec. but no need to worry, i guess its a hidden samsung note 2 feature...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guglez:
So there are no solutions to fix screen flickering? Maybe we can overclock screen somehow? Maybe alternative brightness control?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygys:
The screen flicker mus be due to a bad batch of screens. Mine had the screen flickering too. and even with economy mode shut down and brightness is set to less then 100%. if you rapidly move the phone you can see that you see several screens instead of a blurry moving screen. this way you know it flickers. so for example if you move your phone up and down very rapidly instead of seeing a blurry view of the screen you will see several edges of the screen simultaniously. this tells you its flickering. While just looking at the screen you wont actually see the flickering but its somehow disturbing.

The way i know that your screen is defect is because due to a rescent replacement of my screen on my note 2 the flickering is totally gone now.

But keep in mind that my battery usages with screen on has increased. so i think samsung changed the power management for these new screens so that they wont flicker anymore. but they consume more power now. first i used the screen 6,5 hours and had a standby of 24 hours. now i have 6 hours screen on time with 24 hours standby. so its a bit of a change though. I just tested it 1 time. so it could also be i used the phone in another way when getting only 6 hours.

But just to let you guys know the flickering can be fixed.

Hello to all. I am facing video problem in my s3. Every recorded video in s3 does not play smooth on windows 7, win 8. I recorded all video at default settings & it plays at slow motion & hangs. I don't understand why all s3 videos does not play correctly or smooth.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zillator:
What video player do you use to play the videos? Also, do you use any codec pack?

It might not be a problem with the recording itself, but with the Windows' video player settings.

I suggest you try using VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html) or KMPlayer (http://www.kmpmedia.net/), they contain their own video codecs, so that my cure your problem... ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gattodavid:
This something i had stumbled on accident trying to dual boot my LG G2x (p999) using the LG Optimus 2x (P990) Dual Boot tutorial.

If done correctly, your your LG G2x will be model P990 instead of P999. you will be using Optimus 2x Roms instead of G2x Roms. Everything Should you need will be on this besides the 2 roms you want to dual boot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856090
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
Well... Thanks for sharing but...

The Baseband and RIL still working with the G2X??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
I doubt so. I have the dual boot for the G2X it works well but even if you use the p990 files the baseban and ril would have to be for the g2x, and i doubt thing will work out. It is better to port the roms instead.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I am looking for a straightforward explanation of the file systems for the P990 and the P999 especially a comparison and, better, a utility/script that would enable selecting the one to be used to format memory. I am also looking for information about how to port between the P990 to and from the P999. Do you have it or know where any of that information is located?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
In theory, If you were using the current March 2012 baseband (v21y), couldn't you just flash OWAIN's NewBaseband.zip, and then run GetRIL to make sure the RIL is updated to the baseband?

That should get you a working phone (in p990 mode).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
Maybe I was not clear on my post. The devices are most similar. The differences are on the radio (baseband, irl, etc), partition scheme, and the p990 has fm radio while the p999 does not. They are made for different carries so while you may be able to use those files, what they are intended to do is to change the partition scheme to allow two roms to fit, and then use some scripts to switch roms using the boot.imgs you provide and changing system, data, and other files like that to a different name so each rom has independent files, they are all store on data.

So the problem is that your radio stays the same, so by flashing the wrong baseband/radio you will just brick your phone. It can be recovered on these particular devices using nvflash but overall it should not work as just changing every entry from p999 to p990. That can be done when building the rom, just change the assertion script or turn it off and you can flash anything on the partitions given that they are the right size, it will still not work tho.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
This will be really usefull when a Full stable ICS O2X rom come out...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
No, when such thing comes out it will be ported, no need to change the partition scheme or anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Not necessarily true! No O2X OFFICIAL Rom has ever been ported successfully to the G2X. CM7/CM9/MIUI yes, because we have source. Factory/Official ROMs? Never 100% successfully.

I had a GB O2X Rom running on my G2X once before, but I forget what I had to do to make it happen. DId nothing with KDZ's, I modded the kernel somehow. But, as others discovered, it wasn't possible to get the radio working. Curious if Owain's fix would work as a port as suggested previously in this thread.

Would be nice to have a native O2X Rom to run... I think 9/10ths of the "crazy bat**** stupid" problems the G2X has are due to the fact that LG basically stripped out LG Framework to make it appear AOSP without actually being AOSP. The problem is, they didn't strip out all of the LG Framework, only the parts that you see. So the G2X has a lot of unused and half-connected code on stock Roms.

And, as others said, it could be very useful for ICS...

But as I've said... Several of us have had O2X roms ported. The hitch has always been lack of cellular radio.

Is there a thread for G2X dual boot? This is the first I've heard of it, I'd hate to have to try to rewrite the O2X scripts myself, but dual boot sounds very nice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
I hate to say it but probably the best explanation would be the compile scripts for source. From the limited research I've done(kanging the CM10 blind builds), once you build the P990/SU990 source with the P999 script, you pretty much "fill in the blanks/diff" by using a full P999 rom aka CM10 kang (somewhere I remember seeing a list of what the source doesn't include). I know someone ran df or fdisk or something of that nature on a SU990 and posted the results with the ICS rom so the differences are sorta documented....Or you could ask wkpark.I might myself as I speak and write his native language!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Please ask.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Yes, you can easily dual boot ROMs with the G2X, I do it with Temaesk and my stock ROM. Very convenient. Search through the thread and there should be someone who posted the proper partitions for our phone for use with NVFlash.

If you don't know what you're doing, or are new to this stuff and don't know what the word "troubleshooting" means, then stay away from it as most of the help is for the O2X and I've semi-bricked/bootlooped my phone before I got the complete feel for dual booting it correctly and how to update kernels for it and such.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Isn't the partition setup in the .cfg file used with NVFlash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] breadland:
I just want to simply know if it's it possible to flash any O2x rom on the G2x? I don't care if the radio isn't working, I already use my Galaxy Nexus for calling/texting etc. I just want to get a touch of ICS/Other O2x roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rafase282:
Answering your question the answer is not. If you don't care about the radio then use the dualboot method or just properly change the partition scheme and flash your rom and let us know what happens. Since it doesnt seem to be your main phone you wont miss anything if it bricks. As far as I know our phone is "unbrickable".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakedpatato:
I posted on daum(my name roughly translates to 'angry at butt') but I think wkpark thinks i'm some sort of script kiddie or something due to the name...hah.:o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] breadland:
I had no luck installing an O2x rom on my G2x. The nvflash part worked, but the installation part was too confusing for me so I probably did something wrong. I'm wondering if anyone actually managed to install an O2x rom on the G2x successfully.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
No, not directly.

Hello I hope someone reads this.

I have accidentally partitioned my P999 with the P990 all in one tool. It only takes now p990 roms, but no baseband. It is working quite nicely, but is has no mobile service. How can I repartition my internal sd to be p999 again?

Well, after getting tired of AT&T Data Throttling me to Edge speeds, And knowing that coverage is not 100% in my area, I went ahead and got the 69.99 Monthly Unlimited Everything Plan from T-Mobile ( I Was on ATT's Grandfathered in Unlimited plan etc cost around $120-130 Month) Now I'ts just $69.99.

Here are the results Keep in mind speeds will improve as coverage does as well. It's very sensitive at the moment if I move a few feet away signals lower and speeds vary depending on where I'm standing And in Certain parts of my house I have Edge, But if I move towards the bedrooms or living room it just picks up HSPA+ (Yeah it's funny how 20-50 feet make a huge difference) but it's very encouraging to say the least :) I expect when it's fully re farmed to be getting 15-20mbps down!

And without further a due here they are!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
You won't get 20mbps down. It's too close to the Note II's theoretical peak 21mbps HSPA+. 15mbps may be possible though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nyxagamemnon:
Well I'm just touching 12mbps now, I'll keep testing this as time goes on and network improves and see where I end up. However like AT&T is worthless now I was getting 3-4 and now I'm getting constant 9-12mbps at half the price And no throttling.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
The Int'l Note 2 does not support 1700mhz AWS, correct. T-Mobile is, however, in the process of moving their HSPA+ service off of 1700mhz AWS over to 1900mhz instead so that they can use the (soon to be) old 1700mhz AWS band for LTE service.

I went ahead today and bought a T-Mobile branded version to see the difference in speeds, and At home My n7100 on the 1900 band beat it. I drove around and the highest I got was 15.

T-Mobile....meh..

I was a long time customer of T-mobile, had the HTC Amaze 4G and Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile.

Saw speeds up to 15-17mbps in some very few parts, but the thing was.... it loaded pages and generally felt slower browsing and using the web than my friend's equivalent S2 on ATT and he only saw 3-5mbps in probably 90 percent of the locations we went to. Something was up with that...

When T-mobile is fast...it's very fast (which is very rare), but when it's slow, it's VEEEEERRRRY SLOW which was most all places.

Anyways, I'm very happy with my international GT-N7100 on ATT's HSPA.

Perhaps because T-mobile is limiting MVNO's (Straight Talk , Simple Mobile etc) to just 3G/2G.
