[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
Another thing I just thought of is you can make a Nandroid backup of just the boot image as soon as you flash a ROM, give it a name of whatever ROM you are on "-kernel" and then you can restore that boot image whenever you want to restore back to your stock kernel + ramdisk. Alternatively, you can save a backup of your kernel in Trickster MOD and restore it that way at a later point. But both of these methods first require that you still be running your stock kernel and ramdisk that came with the ROM you are on. If you already flashed something else, you will have to re-flash the ROM again to get back to the stock files first
[Nexus 10 General] brees75:
You could just grab the kernel from the rom and throw it into a flashable zip if you don't have a backup, instead of flashing the entire ROM again.

Hi guys,

I just bought my hdtv adapter in order to connect my tab to my TV trough HDMI and happily see netflix everynight..... The thing is that for any reason when I plug the cable de image in the TV is a clone of the image in the tablet, but the uggliest point is that when I put a movie in netflix not only the image in the TV is not escalated ( I see the movie in part of the TV screen) but subtitles are not in the TV screen but they are in the tablet.

Any idea how can I can get it fixed. Is there any hdmi output control software or something like that?.

I'm trying yo get my TV dispay as an extension of the galaxy note display.

Thanks!.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] GioDoe:
I just found out, to my disappointment, the same behaviour with netflix and the allcast dongle.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] ofx66:
do you think it's a netflix app issue or the hdmi output resolution that it's unable to fit the whole tv screen?. I hope there is a software to fix it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] GioDoe:
Unfortunately, I do not have a clue. I will probably try and buy an android stick to bypass the problem
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Entropy512:
I would have expected stock was better than this. Seems like a lot of devices have issues with UI overlays and HDMI output. Sounds like even Samsung's stock hwcomposer is a steaming pile of ****. Or this is one of the consequences of Netflix's weirdo JPlayer.

Oh wait, never mind, stock is 4.1, JPlayer isn't used... Probably just Samsung brokenness.

For example, my Xperia T has the following issues when outputting Netflix over MHL:

UI overlays do not appear

Anamorphic video is not scaled properly. (For example, Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix is anamorphic 640x480 video - e.g. it is stretched to display as widescreen and the pixels do not have a square aspect ratio, but when output over MHL it is displayed as if the pixels were square.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] ofx66:
Yeah, that what I've just noticed. The UI overlay does not properly works... I can't see subtitles in my tv screen.

Isn't there any player or another kind of soft to play netflix movies thorugh? or even better, a fix to it... :)

BTW... i bought the hdmi adapter for my galaxy s3 and now the image in the mobile escales perfectly to 1080p however the overlay issue is still there..., I'M NOT ALE TO SEE THE #"!#$&/( SUBTITLES... :crying::crying:

I hope there's a fix.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] drnoir:
Sadly, this seems to be inherent to the HDMI mirror process, as I get the same on my Xoom and all my Moto phones: clear audio and video, but no overlays (controls, subtitles, etc.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] robandr:
same with Play Movies

I have the same problem with my note 2, note 10.1, over hdmi adapter or allsharecast dongle both with netflix and play movies. Subtitles only on the tablet.

I have contact samsung and google about yhis annoying issue and they both try to blame each other instead of giving me a solution.

What I don't understand is how such a basic thing is not possible
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] BUBA0071:
When you use BS player and software encoder the subs is showing in the TV and the phone-tablet. I remember it was the same with the first Nvidia gforce graphick cards with comp-scart output on windows XP. I think it is a hardware problem. I think we need a new genaration og GPU hardware. Question is, what about Nvidia Tegra 4 chipset phones or Shield device???

Have someone got an android phone (could be LG X2) with a real HDMI output purhaps it is a MHL-HDMI problem
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] kcrudup:
It's a hardware issue, yes- the movie is rendered via the hardware-accelerated video channel that also outputs thru the HDMI (and/or Miracast) streams. However, since subtitles (and other such overlays) are decoded and rendered outside the main video stream (that's done on a seperate video channel) that's normally overlaid over the display stream.

This issue isn't limited to just Exynos chips, either- I know for sure the Tegra2 and one of the QCT Snapdragons is like this, too; I suspect the issue actually comes from Hollywood, as DRM protection implies you can't manipulate the buffer that's displaying the external streams (yes, even for your own (non-DRMed) content, sadly), but don't quote me on this.

In order for a player to give you subtitles that display on external devices they'd have to render everything in software, and I don't think every stream will play smoothly that way. I do remember seeing a video player that does do subtitles on the All-Share Cast stream; I think it was the Archos one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Willew:
I think what you most have, is just a setting problem.

I have galaxy s3 and samsung tv connected through hdmi adapter.

By default this behaves exactly as my windows media pc, app. 10 pixels are cut on all sides. When you change your tv settings not to overscan, the image is perfect. In samsung tvs (tested 50" plasma and 22" lcd) you do this in by setting the size of the display, from 16:9 to customized. I have Finnish ui, so i do not know the exact terms.

In this way most of the programs work ok, including e.g. Xbmc.

But this does not fix netflix, it is seen on tv as 4:3 without any subtitles. So i would blame netflix first.

Chromecast.....nuff said
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] robandr:
I have purchased the Note 3 and the subtitles are displayed properly on my TV now. I don't know if it is a fix from either Android 4.3 or from Samsung.

I cannot play a movie (typically over wifi) without some kinda glitch on this thing. For the most part I have worked out every other major issue on this device except this and I can't seem to figure it out. I have both MX Player and BS Player and they both do this. I have tried every conceivable settings combination you could imagine. Why can't I play one movie from start to finish without 10 -20 random pauses? What is causing the movie to do these random pauses? It doesn't matter if its mkv, mp4, avi they all do it. Anyone else have the same problem?:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Do you have force GPU enabled or disabled under developer settings? Try toggling it on or off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Tried it both ways. No change.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
I'm seriously starting to think that maybe you *do* have a defective TF700! I have never seen anyone have so many damn "glitches"!

Have you tried exchanging the device? I'm being serious... If not, you may want to give that a shot. I have watched countless videos via countless apps, over wifi, from SD card and from internal memory and haven't had any issues...

What ROM/kernel are you running?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I agree, even when I was on stock, I had no problem playing movies. My problem was browsing, but anyways. If you can, I would exchange it. Even when I was on stock I didnt have any problem like or similar to this one. Sorry for your difficult time.

Have you attempted to do a fresh flash/full wipe?

Tylor

Rom: Cyanogen Nightlies 10.1 or CleanRom 3.4.4 - Depends on the mood :p .
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
It's on his sig:

[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Thanks... I use Tapatalk, so I don't see the signatures... I never really looked to see if there was a way to enable them, to be honest!

But yeah, I would try exchanging the device if you can't do something as simply as watch a video... Or possibly try a fresh install first, to see if that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
Do you have any volume enhancers installed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Got it working

Thanks for all of your feedback. Yes I have volume+ installed. I am rooted on stock ROM and kernel (at the moment). I am watching movies fine now.:laugh: At least for the time being. Both off SD and internal memory. Have to test the wifi streamer next. Here's what I did to correct the problem. Which one did it, I haven't a clue, but I have a gut feeling:

1. Cold-booted Linix (Reboot Bootloader:RCK and do nothing) three times in a row.;)

2. Ran FMR Memory Cleaner

2. Disabled "1Tap Quick Bar":confused: as a startup [Some add-on for RAM Booster widgets]

3. Disabled "Exchange Services" as a startup

4. Installed "Bluetooth Auto Connect"

My guess is 1 - 3 did it. I think 3 was the main problem. Do most people have 250+ market apps installed? Maybe that's my problem. Too many combinations to keep track of. One day she's running like a cheetah and the next day a slug. It all depends on which apps I enable at the time.

No I don't think I have a defective device. Maybe I'm just working her too hard lately or have too little tolerance for computers that don't run perfectly all the time. I've got both system tuner and ROM toolbox and am constantly making changes, trying this boost, that tweak, this script, etc. I think I'll just find stability and leave it to rest for awhile. Reminds me of a Ford Bronco I had all boosted that would constantly break down so I got in the habbit of always carring tools and spare parts to fix just about any problem that could occur road-side in under 10 minutes. It wasn't uncommon for me to pull over on the freeway in the rain to adjust my timing. I used to and still do enjoy tweaking on things to make them better. Glad to be driving a Honda now. Just looking for that same reliablity in my hardware.:cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Awesome you got it figured out. If it is working correctly now, then it was an app you enabled/disabled.

Tylor

Rom: Cyanogen Nightlies 10.1 or CleanRom 3.4.4 - Depends on the mood :p .
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Now it finally works right.

Update: Back for some more wrestling. Both my arms are out-of-the socket but I can still hop. Reminds me of a Monte-Python I saw once with a limbless Knight and a rabbit...anyway. This only fixed being able to play the movies locally. But then I tried streaming, and still got the pauses. Started doing some more poking around. Disabled everthing to do with NOTIFICATIONS (1-Weather, Backlight Switch, RAM Booster, Volume in Notifications and those System Tuner notification icon packs I installed (%CPU, Temp (F), CPU Freq). Now it plays and streams fine.

Man, one god damn little s*&^^$ piece of software can really screw this system up! Why do top tier softwares come with third tier add-ons sometimes? It doesn't make any sense from a marketing perspective to screw up your reliablity like that. Like this issue or that 1TAP Quick Bar for RAM Booster, never did get that to work. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it too. I'll start slowly putting my UI back together, notification wise, and see which one it is, but if this is any clue, when I disabled the ones from System Tuner, System Tuner crashed. I'll bet its those icon notifiers that was doing the interrupts that my video player interprets as PAUSE. I'm really getting sick of spending all my time fixing little bugs with this pad rather than enjoying what it has to offer, but I am learning oodels by doing it. Just didn't want to fast-track it like I've been. Ouch, I feel the next glitch coming already...
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
Remove Volume+ completely. I had issues watching movies as well. stock and rooted. its one of the reasons i almost returned my device. While watching movies, my device would freeze and reboot on its on. Other times, the movies would play, but no sound would come out. I dont know how i came to the conclusion, but i removed Volume+ and have not had the issue since. Maybe get DSP manager for volume enhancing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
With all of the different "fix my system" apps that you have installed, it's no wonder you are having issues. With apps like System Tuner, unless you are really experienced with Android (and/or some variant of Unix) and how these OS's work, you can run in to some nasty performance and stability problems.

I learned long ago that you usually don't need any of these apps and they usually cause more harm than good, especially if you have more than one installed at the same time. I'd suggest that you start fresh (clean install) and only install apps that you actually use. Forget about all of the apps that try to fix things that aren't broken. I think you'll have a much better experience in the end... Hell, I don't even install SetCPU or apps like that anymore - I've found that my system runs pretty damn good now! Android comes "pre-tuned" - let it do it's thing...

EDIT: I must say, however, that I am running CleanROM, not stock. It runs so much smoother than stock that it's worth the risk of unlocking the device to install it. If you are truly worried about warranty coverage, get a SquareTrade accidental coverage warranty - they are dirt cheap.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I concur, all these apps; rambooster, system tuner, android tuner, memory manager, setcpu etc are mainly a waste of time on stock and are clearly causing some of your issues. Android itself is wrestling trying to maintain control of the OS and memory by the sounds of it.

The best tweaks come from a stable system and the kernel. As you are rooted but still locked you won't be able to benefit fully from some of the tweaks.

Every now and then I mess around with system tuner and get things a bit unstable. In fact the best options are sometimes to not even install it :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Well I have just about given up on playing movies over wifi. Some work with these settings, others work with those settings, and some just don't work at all. I get the same effect streaming from my portable Seagate wireless HDD as I do over my corporate wifi streaming from my desktop so its not the wifi or the wifi on the device (its been totally reliable otherwise); its the audio and video decoder over wifi just does not seem to work well or consistently at all for me. I can play the same movie locally with settings "A" and need different settings "B" to play over wifi if it plays at all, or plays at a quality considered high enough to watch which isn't often.

Settings I am discussing are H/W+ video decoder, H/W video decoder, S/W video decoder, and same (3) but audio decoder. Locally I can usually play everthing H/W+, both video and audio. Sometimes I need H/W but never S/W. Network I can usually play most with H/W, both video and audio. But I had to play a recent movie over wifi with H/W video and S/W audio to get it to work. Every movie needs different settings over wifi. Really a PITA and with 96GB flash on the pad I just have ended up copying what I want to watch locally from the Seagate via wifi (as I have no keyboard dock or USB adapter). After disabling nearly everthing now it doesn't pause or stop entirely any more, it just "glitches", like momentarily stalls with no sound, or choppy sound, or choppy video, then eventually continues playing. These "glithes" can last 5-10s and can happen 5-10 times during a 2 hr movie. I think I'll just revise my user name here to "Mr. Glitch" as some already know me by and call it a day on this topic folks.

You are indeed locked. If you still have ASUS warranty contact them and get a replacement. Only other option I see is custom romming but would rather you go through asus before using your last life. END ;).

Try Dice Player - I use it almost daily for local and wifi streaming - works flawlessly...

I too had some issues with other video players, but Dice just works - streams via hardware over network, etc. Also support volume increase and windowed player capabilities.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
OMG I got Dice Player it is working flawlessly. I configured my Seagate wireless HDD as a Samba server and its smooth as silk with default settings! I've even got all my startups loaded, some System Tuner tweaks, and no problems I can detect. I was so bummed from these wifi problems because I really wanted to use this pad as a mobile theater system and bought the $200 Seagate to pair it with as a host streamer but I haven't had any luck yet getting it working and was ready to tuck tail, call it a wasted venture, and hang it up. Haven't tried it over HTTP yet but this is simply fantastic. I have spend hours trying to get both MX and BS Player to stream for me and they don't work. This one rocks on wifi. I don't know how to thank you. If you are anywhere near Fremont, CA I will get you drunk for this one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Works flawlessly over HTTP as well. Got it playing a movie in a window that I couldn't play before. System Tuner, RAM booster, Volume+, Volume in Notifications, Back Light Switch, Browser2RAM, they are all loaded. All the things that didn't work with other players work with this one. I'm blown away. You pick the restaurant and bar, any ones you want buddy. Its on me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Ha! Thank you for the generous offer - unfortunately, I couldn't be further away - I'm all the way over near Philadelphia...

Anyway, thank the developer of Dice Player - not me - write up a good review for the app on the Play Store.

It has so many unique features as well, such as audio delay, audio amplification, "windowed" mode, swipe to control brightness/volume, etc.

Glad you got things sorted out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I love Dice Player! Totally agree, it's the only video player you need. :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Here's the email I sent to Dice and I gave it a 5 star market review:

I just wanted to say this player is truly awesome. I am ecstatic after spending countless frustrating hours trying to get other players (MX, BS) to work over wifi to no avail. Even in the rare case that I could find settings that (barely) worked the video was usually choppy and the audio track was often out of sync with the video track.

This one works flawlessly and runs silky smooth on all my movies (avi, mp4, mkv) without issue and with default settings. I will donate to this development willingly. Excellent first rate software. Keep up the great work! My only gripe is that I hadn't heard of it before wasting time on other players. I was one post away from giving up on wifi streaming entirely with this device and ready to eBay or Craig's list (at a loss) the brand new $200 Seagate wireless plus 1TB HDD I purchased to pair with this pad to create a portable streaming home theater system. I got the tip late in the game to try this player from a help post feedback on XDA. Thanks jtrosky you made my day and saved my investment!!!

Update:

Looks like MX Player (Pro) received a recent update adding "Android 4.0/4.x compatibility mode" which when activated and running in H/W decoder mode now streams to my device (quick preliminary evaluation) from a wifi HDD (which it didn't before the update). Making forward progress MX!

Update2:

Very preliminary eval above. Now I find that the audio and video tracks are not in sync (as before in H/W decocer mode) and there is still some random pausing but at least the movies aren't totally freezing or starting over (preliminary eval). Oh well, I still have Dice working great. Maybe MX and BS will eventually figure out how to make their players reliable over wifi.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I was going thru my subscriptions and just thought I would post back that playing movies over wifi with Dice is nearly flawless. I can steam one movie to my tablet and a different movie to my phone AT THE SAME TIME from my Seagate wireless plus. Since I changed my player to Dice I have had no further problems with steaming wifi. Best player on the market.

Hi all! If you're gettin some kind of "freeze" when closing games, or just ramdomly ( maybe you dont know what causes it), but it usually happens when changin orientation (exit from a game will turn your landscape view to portait desktop) on openGL apps :(

It is something wrong with our GPU drivers since 4.2.1 (4.2.0 didnt had it) so [MENTION=2680021]chenshaoju[/MENTION] took JDQ40C (4.2.0) GPU drivers and made a zip. Thats a FIX for reboots/freezes but as they come from an outdated version, they has a few bugs (some kind of lag), so we should send something to google to really fix this!

If you want to know if you have this type of "bug", make this

TEST

[please try to "force" your N4 doing this procedure, i mean, the fact its that it freeze when "loading" and rotate,so try to zoom in&out images while changin orientation(as I think its something related to rotate)] I cant "play" with g.earth more than 10-15 mins doing that steps....

Thanks!

PD: If I just keep it freeze to see what happens....in 30-60 secs it goes black screen and it doesnt respond, so had to press power+volUP

Its a shame to have a phone with that issue and not hav any news from G...... and what bothers me its why just some of us are gettin those "bugs", is there anythin different on our nexus HW ? :silly:
