[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] capitoldach:
0 file in 0 file like 4 times each dated days I flashed different builds

Ok, so I started over with OUEMFI1 factory rest and wiped partition. I still have misc. files. So, I went to data/media I found the 0 file, inside that file is another 0 file, inside of that file another 0 file, and on and on all with different dates. Should I remove the 0 files within the 0 files, are they necessary, or they left over each time I flash? I did mean flash counter, but I haven't checked it via download mode, I will do that.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dwibbles33:
Okay so what happened with all those 0 files is basically with the ability to change users that number changes if you add more users. For whatever reason when you flash a ROM it creates a new 0 file and pushes your old 0 file further in. If you go through those files you may see folders you used to have on other ROMs containing old stuff you had. So if you have stuff to keep then copy it to the /0 folder then delete the extras. I have been trying to modify a script from the GSIII that basically wipes everything except your external card but it didn't work last time. My advice would be to back your files up to your external, go into recovery and instead of a factory reset go into mounts and format /data (again be sure to back your stuff up because this will take it all out). That should wipe out everything (0 files and such) I would go as far as formatting system too. MAKE SURE you have a ROM on your external card because formatting /system will wipe out your existing ROM, but you will get a fresh start and at that point you know that nothing is hanging around from before.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kojaraty:
Did anyone notice a choppy video playback using YouTube app on the N5?. I tried my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 playing HD videos on youtube , it is choppy on my N5 where it is smooth on my N4.I did not try other video players.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duplicated:
Yeah, that's what I notice too. I mean, the video looks stunning, but it doesn't seem to be running smoothly at all.

I ran it side by side with my iPhone 4S, and my iPhone played the video much smoother overall. I thought I was just seeing thing until it reached one part in the video where the same kid in the video raising his hand to point at the sky. The arm movement right there was noticeably unnatural in the Nexus 5, compare to my iPhone 4S's playback.

Does anyone know an app that can show you what the currently playing video's fps is?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
I have not experienced this... well I haven't notice it if it is choppy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duplicated:
Do you have any other smartphones that is capable of playing youtube videos? Pull the same video up across both both phones and start the playback at the same time.

Better yet, compare it against your PC browser.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kojaraty:
Try watching this video and let me know how it runs:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v2L2UGZJAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Can confirm that that video is much choppier on the Nexus 5 compared to the Nexus 4. No idea why. Doesn't make any sense.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duplicated:
I hope it's just some optimization problem that can be fixed with software update(s). I'd really hate to return this phone back, but it's quite a deal-breaker for someone like me who uses the phone as an on-the-go multimedia player.

Are there any alternative apps that can play HD youtube videos smoothly?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Sometimes these issues are also caused by user settings like what and how many apps or widgets running in the background, Google syncronisation interval and what apps connect to the internet etc etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
I'll try it and test it on my S4 and N5 once I get near wifi.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertron:
Just tested it on mine. It is slightly choppy, but not very noticeable.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duplicated:
Maybe my phone is defective then...? I already closed all apps running in the background and tested it again, still stuttering :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kojaraty:
I don't think its defective. I believe all the devices have the same issue. We just have to wait for a software fix.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duplicated:
Well, there are people like me and you who notice the "stuttering" (I wouldn't call it choppy, because still frames are just as clear as my 4S). Then, there are others that say it does not stutter even in the slightest.

I don't know what to believe in anymore.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Maybe the YouTube app isn`t fully optimsed for KitKat yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
hmm I can only just notice it - though if I wasn't looking for it I doubt I'd notice it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_59:
Probably a good test would be download the video using for example tubemate, then play the local copy this would help determine whether network latencies are contributing to any lags or if caused by decoding the video if it occurs when local copy.

Then try hw vs Sw decoding.

Will test when I ve got time.

My preferred video player is MX player that currently doesn't run on kit kat
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
I thought they updated it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanja_z:
yeah its very stuttery. Whats worse the youtube app doesn't seem to be able to get 1080p and 720 upscaled looks atrocious. Playing the same video on my 2 year old One XL and this phone, the Nexus is so much worse in terms of stutter, upscaling and color that I'm very disappointed at the moment.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_59:
You're correct, I hadn't noticed
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
Sure it does. I installed it yesterday and it runs beautifully!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpdaemon:
It's a YouTube app problem. I'm seeing the same choppy playback with the YouTube app, however I've tested other apps (Plex, MX player) and 1080p videos play flawlessly smooth and look stunning. Just got to wait for a YouTube app update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atkhobby:
Hi, just to let you know that it's the same on the LG G2 with similar hardware.

I really hope they fix this soon. I can revert to the youtube version that came with the phone and it's not choppy so it must be something with the latest version. Maybe it's not optimized to use the hw acceleration in the new chipset?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhp:
I'm also seeing the same problem on my nexus 5 where the video is choppy. It seems to only happen when watching on the HD settings. When comparing side by side to my old Nexus 4, I don't see any issues with the Nexus 4.

For most videos, this is ok, but if watching fast paced videos (i.e. sports videos), it is noticeably choppy when the scene pans. This is very annoying as youtube is my most used app :p

When watching HD videos through MX player, I don't seem to notice anything. This problem also seems to occur on the VEVO app, so it may have something to do with the apps not optimizing for either KitKat or the Nexus 5 hardware.

Hopefully this issue gets resolved in the near future with a software update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melchiorum:
themselves mswoki

Yep. Same problem here. I was beginning to think I was the only one. I am pretty sensitive to these kind of things and to me the Youtube videos are pretty much unwatchable on Nexus 5. It stutters and skips frames like crazy.

I really hope they fix it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buffalo66:

choppy playback.

you will notice it say, if you watch sports highlights.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruggerxpunk:
Just want to chime in that yes, it is terribly, horribly choppy.

Thanks for the comment from the LG G2 guy, that gives us hope.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfy50:
Youtube has gone from bad to worse for Google, dunno why. But even opening the app there's a noticeable delay. I don't get choppiness on my Nexus 7 or my previous Nexus 4 like I do on the 5, but I did get a TON of connection errors where I see a "retry" button. It's not my wifi either because I can pick up my iphone 5 and the same videos play fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhp:
Are you guys seeing any issues if viewing the videos through the youtube mobile website?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhp:
I just tried this and confirmed that playing the downloaded video (both through gallery and MX Player) has no issues. This is great news as it's not related to a HW issue and should be able to get resolved through a software update to the YouTube app.:good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonytigerking:
Galaxy Note 3

I just noticed the same problem as well, wasn't very noticeable until playing videos from motortrend, when I noticed the fast moving cars were moving kind of funny.... remove the youtube update and played the same video again, no stutters.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NobbieQ:
No, I don't....but the quality of the videos even set on "HQ" aren't as good as they would be if I were playing them through the app but at least there's no stuttering. Freedi YT Player can play the vids in perfect quality with no stuttering at all so that's my YouTube app for now but I'd much prefer using the main app, as it's much easier browsing for vids and you can also post comments. At least it isn't a hardware issue...I really thought I was the only one!

Yup same here, although no problem if I use youtube on a browser. Just really only the app is stuttering.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
Note 3 has similar issues with you tube, though I bet most people won't even notice. It's probably a compatibility issue with you tube and the s800 chip than needs to get patched.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalekinder:
Well, I can say that on mine the youtube app is choppy, Almost like a Micro stutter. I am also seeing the stutter on my video apps. Doesnt matter If I use H/W or S/W encoding. Videos are not smooth at all. I sold my Htc one to get this and on my one I didnt have this issue. Hopefully this is a optimization issue. I see that MX player supports Kit kat now but I can still see the stutter on mp4 videos and AVI files.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdimarzio:
FYI - 4.4.1 (while a great update to 4.4 especially with regard to camera improvements and overall performance) does not seemed to have fixed or improved the choppy YouTube video playback issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhp:
If I use supertube I don't see any choppy issues so it's definitely an issue with the stock YouTube app
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
I think the app has the problem, not the Android itself.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoco:
For what it's worth, uninstalling the updates for the YouTube app does seem to improve the framerate. The problem entirely lies with the app itself.

Please excuse my ignorance, I've been doing my best to find some info on unlocking a S4 SGH-i337 AT&T phone, and again please accept my apology if this is the wrong board. I've been doing some research but would like to know if this exact model is still lockable to this date.

I've come upon a great deal on this phone. I use Straight Talk and would like to be able to use it as a prepaid device as I'm doing with my nexus 4 right now.

I'd like to know if anyone could point me in the direction of unlocking this device or if it's possible at all to unlock and switch to straight talk?

Hope to hear some valid responses soon, take care you guy's.

PS: also if unlocked I should be able to root just fine, would it be possible to root to bare Android 4.3 on a s4 much like the google play edition, or would the cm custom rom be my best bet to that?

Thanks again take care!

I'll go ahead and order the phone since it comes with 30 day money back no reason needed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Azzair113:
If I was you i would call at&t give them your imei number and if you have a nice customer service rep they will give you a unlock code or you can go on at&t website and apply for a unlock code and if they approve you after 2 weeks they will give you the unlock code in your email.What I did to unlock my phone was used ebay and payed like 3$ and got a unlock code or you can view many websites from google and look for one to unlock your phone the prices range from 10$-30$.If your switching to straight talk you wont even need to unlock your phone cause straight talk runs on at&t network so all you have to do is go on the website by a new 4glte at&t sim card for 6.99 and pay the 45$ for the service pop it in and your good to go and it comes with one day free shipping.And unlocking has nothing to do with rooting unlocking is being able to use your phone on other networks like tmobile.To run a custom rom your phone firmware in the about section has to be on MDB or MDL.If its on MF3 you can safestrap but i dont know anything about that but if you on MDB or MDL you can look for a 4.3 GPE custom rom. http://galaxys4root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s4-roms/google-play-edition-rom-for-galaxy-s4/ this is where i got my GPE rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ends:
Doesn't need to be unlocked. Just buy the AT&T compatible SIM card from StraightTalk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kennethk1:
Sorry I didn't get you quoted buddy had an appointment.

So I'd still be able to get lte speeds with a straight talk and use locked att phone with the sims?

That's great news for the future and I appreciate letting me know. I love gazelle now. Good thing I bought that s4 when I did because it's out of stock now. lol I think 350 is a steal for it either way!

As for the rooting part didn't mean to confuse the two, hopefully we'll be able to install 4.4 kitkat to an s4 soon. Though question if I did install a custom rom would I loose some of the features such as IR blaster?

I already have a straight talk sim card in my nexus 4 so I should be able to just transfer everything and my time to my new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Azzair113:
Yes you will get lte speeds since straight talk supports lte on at&t network now and it deoends what rom you run if its a stock GPE rom u=you might lose it but you probably could find a app for that but if its a touchwiz rom you will still have all your IR features.And it depends you can try to switch the straight talk sim card and see if you get LTE but i think you will need to buy the new straight talk lte sim card on their website.http://www.shopstraighttalk.com/bpd...&locale=en&market=GSM4&productFamily=simcards
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kennethk1:
Thanks again, I already have a straight sim card in my nexus 4 so it should be as simple as swapping it out. Do you think 350 was a good price paid for it used? It doesnt come with a battery so thats a worry but I bought it from gazelle

Yes it is when you buy a battery it will only be like 10$ you only paid 360$ altogether.

I have tried using the camera a few times and I have found the following problems:

- If I leave the app running I find it can drain the battery (not using power save)

- Once the Camera app caused the Phone app to crash so I had to reset to get the phone functions to work again

As these normal? Do I have a faulty unit?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] universaldoc:
Hi Jah,

I use the camera very often. Yes, leaving it on does drain battery just as most heavy applications would.

I have never had a crash caused by the camera. In your case, only if this happens repeatedly, it is significant, otherwise i am quite sure it was just a momentary thing. I dont suppose you have a faulty unit, it has more or less to do with the software rather than the hardware.

I did read about your problem earlier where you mentioned that your device heated up as you accidentally left the camera app on. That does seem weird, but i never came across such a situation so i cannot comment whether that is normal or abnormal.

If it really begins to bug you, just get it replaced from O2. Since you are on contract, i am sure they will be more than happy to replace it for you ;)
