I tested your video on my Nexus 5. It suffers lags with sw decoder but not with hw+ decoder.

Are you sure there is lags even with hw+ decoder?

If so, check following settings;

1) Turn off subtitle in the subtitle selection window. (Click speech balloon button on the right upper side of the screen)

2) Turn off software audio in the audio track selection windows.
[MX Player] cybercrash:
Did all that. Still stuck video.

My problem is lag during SW decoder and a video stop (paused) video while audio is still going.

HW decoder gives me an error message:"This video can not decoded using HW...". Then it switches back to HW+ and after 0,5-1sec the video stops/lags again.

Same problem with VLC.

I guess 50fps is too much.
[MX Player] Crim Soukyuu:
I just tried that sample with a snapdragon 400 SoC (xperia m2) and for me it plays fine with h/w+. No stuttering/hang, no a/v desync. S/w mode is stuttering though.
[MX Player] bleu8888:
This looks like CPU computing power limit. Which means CPU is not fast enough to play this video.

Typically 1080p 50fps video is too heavy to decode with SW decoder in current mobile CPUs.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Your video is 1080p mpeg4/h264. Most of the modern device can natively play 1080p @50fps. So, I think your device can play the video in HW mode. There might be a problem with your custom rom.

Can you post the log?

It will be helpful to identify the problem.

(You can easily collect the log either by Menu> Help > Report bug or by running the seperate mx log collecter app after playing the file. As of now there is no way to save it. When it asks save the log in your mail. Then you can easily download & attach here)
[MX Player] Crim Soukyuu:
What I was meaning to say is that if my snapdragon 400 can play it with h/w+ (plus downscaling it to my 960 x 540 resolution), then [MENTION=1064629]cybercrash[/MENTION]'s snapdragon 600 should be easily able to play it back at the native 1920x1200 resolution. I prefer to use the h/w+ decoder anyway, so I'm not worried about my CPU not being strong enough to decode it in s/w mode.

Your video is 1080p mpeg4/h264. Most of the modern device can natively play 1080p @50fps. So, I think your device can play the video in HW mode. There might be a problem with your custom rom (CM11) which is leading to problem.

[MX Player] cybercrash:
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.

I've got the solution. It was a fault in the cm11 version.

After updating today to the latest nightly the video plays smoothly using HW+. No framerat dropping or stuck video.

I was just about to go back to the original LG firmware.
[MX Player] cybercrash:
:mad:

Right after it worked just fine a mxplayer update came out and after installing it the video hangs again.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
If you are still using CM11 try again after switching to LG stock rom...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScorpioTech:
Please help. I am stuck on "Galaxy Note II" screen and not able to get into recovery mode. I have tried flashing TWRP with Odin but still does not get past logo. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I have spent a week working on it with no luck but I still have faith since XDA has the best of the best.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Seems like others are now on ver E and we are still on B. Why so long?
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
Idk, I've been questioning the same thing

Verizon is horrible at releasing updates. But I'm unsure if I should be happy or anoyyed by it since our bootloader is locked

I would like an update to improve or fix things but I would also like to keep everything as is and hopefully get an exploit for what we have now
[Verizon LG G3] droidkevlar:
My guess, and everyone's reply is a guess....Verizon is waiting on L to be released. No point in them spending millions getting us 4.4.4 or w/e lil patches there are out there. Verizon is the slowest carrier out there to give updates, so hopefully you have patience.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
I don't really care about official updates. I just want the bootloader to get unlocked. If that happens, the devs will keep us up to date, better than Verizon does.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I seem to remember a patch or two on the V G2 when it first came out. Sometimes these bug patches do more than the big updates which usually lead to their own issues...
[Verizon LG G3] distortedloop:
What does E offer that you're so anxious to get?

My G3 works great, all the features I expect work.

Is there something you're missing that E will solve, or is this just a symptom of crack flashing? ;)
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
Not hurting for an update currently, everything is fast and stable.
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
Only update I'm waiting for is Android L (5.0 / Lollipop) which id expect us to receive that update from Verizon by February at the earliest... sadly... Android L will bring a lot to the table and improve the overall experience, any other update is just small bugs or security fixes.
[Verizon LG G3] thegrants82:
I see no need for an update.
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:

[Verizon LG G3] vermiciouskanid666:
Of 2015. Lol
[Verizon LG G3] s.whiplash:
I am hoping they come out with updates for the cellular radio and bluetooth. Neither work nearly as good as the SGS4 that I switched from.
[Verizon LG G3] giri0n:
Which is something that wouldn't be high on my list of priorities, since the VZW G3 gets better radio signal than did my G2 and Galaxy Nexus before it. I can comfortably leave my phone on data and not be concerned the battery will be dead by the time I leave work. The metal superstructure around the building plays hell with 3G/4G switching.
[Verizon LG G3] s.whiplash:
I have the 3G/4G switching issues quite often with mine. I gave my wife my SGS4 and it is rock solid at the same locations.

I have a LG Tone headset that was solid on the SGS4, but it cuts in and out on the G3 when it is in my pants pocket.

I had a SGS3 a few years ago and got it when it first came out. It had similar issues. The cell reception became a lot more solid with the first radio update and the bluetooth improved an update or two later.
[Verizon LG G3] kest874:
I'm having issues with heat/screen dim when using bluetooth/nav (GPS)/screen on in the car (late afternoon sun).

From reading it looks like it's improved in the later firmwares.
[Verizon LG G3] samg77:
I would avoid updates if you want your bootloader unlocked. They are working on unlocking B, and if you take an update you may inadvertently prevent yourself from taking advantage of the hard work thats going into the current unlock method. Wait for an unlock, there are many who believe its defiantly going to happen.
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
The TOTs though, we got backup options if anyone catches an OTA
[Verizon LG G3] samg77:
Whats a TOT?
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
Basically flash back to stock

Its a firmware zip, we should be able to downgrade if an OTA gets any of us
[Verizon LG G3] jerrykeeling:
My phone did an Android update about an hour ago. 4.4.2, software version still VS98510B
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
Did you actually get a prompt for OTA? Or did you wipe cache and an app on boot requested the "Android Is upgrading" msg

In terminal can you report back from this command:

getprop ro.build.date
[Verizon LG G3] s.whiplash:
Not necessarily. There could be changes in the OTA that may lock the BL, even with a flash back to the previous version. Happened with the Galaxy S4 and S3. An update made it so that you couldn't flash back to a previous BL.

The best bet if there is an OTA indication, is to not apply it until you check here or the other G3 forums to see what the effects are. So far with the other models it doesn't look like the BL has changed in the updates, but that doesn't mean that Verizon may push LG for changes in the BL.

I have gone ahead a disabled the update checking all together with Titanium Backup. There are plenty of places to find out when Verizon releases an update.
[Verizon LG G3] bunchies:
That completely crossed my mind, and I did the same by disabling updates
[Verizon LG G3] donroja:
By freezing system updates in titanium? Anything else to freeze? Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] s.whiplash:
I froze system update as indicated in this thread:

VZW is very slow with updates but they do work on them to be as bug free as possible.

When the g4 comes out

[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
I tend to agree with you, except Motorola phones get updates on Verizon very fast, even the X. Maybe it's because of their relationship with Droid phones.
[Verizon LG G3] RHChan84:
Very true. Droid series phones do get updates pretty quick. I forgot the names but the Droid Maxx and the thinner one got to update I think a week or so after Nexus got the updates.

When I was on Blackberry, I was always side loading the official OS for other carriers but they had issues and when VZW release the updates, the issues were fixed.

[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
Verizon has, by far, the most stringent network certification process. They have some pretty unbelievable device tests they perform to ensure quality and also network dependability, ensure no network issues are caused by the device/firmware, etc.

Never.

You will be better off buying ($$$) a new phone. Or.. hope for an unlock :)
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
That said, do they even test the Apple iPhones and their i0s updates at all ?

Sure doesn't seem like it sometimes.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
Honestly not as much. Surprisingly, Verizon doesn't even take possession of hardware of software until about a week (or less) before roll out day. Apple does all of their own network testing for VZW, as they are unwilling to share. For example, the carriers wont have possession of the new iPhones until 3-5 business days before launch. The same goes for marketing materials.

Having said that, if there are hardware or software bugs they are literally on Apple.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
If there are hardware or/and software bugs on Android phones, how is that any different ? Except that Verizon is in the middle. Swapping phones out over and over or claiming there is no real problem, or that it will be fixed in some potential future update, is about all Verizon seems to do.

Unless batteries start catching on fire, in which case they can blame the phone owner for using a non-OEM charger or cable ! [emoji10]
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
Ill try to get you an answer tomorrow.

Update: Its not even into internal testing yet, so it will be at least 4 weeks.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
Well, thanks for at least checking for us. It is appreciated!
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Hopefully we get a bootloader solution by that point.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
It is taking LG a while to patch the StumpRoot style root exploits ? :)

Anyway, meanwhile, users on other networks are running improved (and still rootable) firmwares up through version 10k, some of them. I guess they are our beta-testers !

I remember that the Verizon Droid3 was reportedly unable to be officially updated to ICS because it did not have adequate storage. Turned out it would run up through Jellybean, but not with all the Verizon bloatware on it too. The rumor was that since including all the Verizon bloatware was impractical, Verizon decided to abandon the Droid3 instead of just trimming back their list a bit.
[Verizon LG G3] crashN2u:
I just got the G3 last night and am not happy with it so far. Waiting on update that will fix the problems. The issues I have so far are knock on not responding unless the phone is on a hard surface and WiFi keeps dropping. These were two issues I had with my 2 G2s until an update was released. Frustrating when my G2s perform flawlessly in regards to these two things.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
Knock is like clicking your mouse, if you move your hand between the first tap and the second, it won't register. O/W it works for me about 4 times out of 5.
[Verizon LG G3] tu3218:
Take your G3 back and replace it. I haven't had any issues at all that you describe.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
WiFi dropping is not something I have experienced. Knock on every once in a while requires me doing it twice. I usually do have trouble with it if it is on a fluffy pillow when I attempt to knock on. However if I am holding the phone I do not have this problem.
[Verizon LG G3] crashN2u:
You must have missed the part where I said I own 2 G2s. I've owned one of them since it released. I know how knock on works and it works flawlessly on them. That being said, I have found the timing to make it work 100% of the time. While on my G2s, I can do it as fast as I want, on the G3, I have to do it the speed shown on the commercials. Works 100% of the time on any surface.

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

I still have 12 days to return or exchange. I'll give it a few more to see if it settles in along with battery life.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Yeah, it has the same strength as my G2s, but will lose signal for a split second. Had it happen about 5 or 6 times in an hour the first night. Only twice the second.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Well, I just don't think we will see any G3 updates from Verizon till when the G4 is nearly out. Then again I don't see any 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 for LG either. I am almost positive that we will likely never see an L update for this phone without hacking. At least not this year at the least.
[Verizon LG G3] tu3218:
Well Android L isn't even officially released yet so not even brand new phones coming out will have Android L. Hopefully its released soon though so the unfortunate wait can begin.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Probably not the best idea for those who enjoy rooted phones to take that update anyways... Least not right away.

Being on Verizon, I wouldn't take another update period lol you know Verizon is going to patch the Loki like exploit that we have still in our bootloader.

I think waiting for our devs to unlock these is the best choice.

[Verizon LG G3] SilentO:
I heard the release is coming soon so wait for wait for it
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Has Verizon recently received an OTA from LG to start their 4 weeks minimum testing period yet ?
[Verizon LG G3] timjp692:
Posted a page back
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Well my phone isn't rooted and I do have issues that needed to be fixed, so I hope for an update that might address these. It does seem to me that LG in particular is the last to be mentioned for updates and Verizon is the last carrier on top of that for their updates. I can live with that but I don't like it.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Since SilentO was claiming it was coming soon, I was questioning the "soon" since NerworkingPro had already revealed that no update had yet entered testing at Verizon yet.

So, if that is right, "soon" is going to be in mid-October at the soonest. 2014, probably...
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
Still no G3 in testing yet... Sorry. :(
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
They say now that the S5 and Note 4 may get Android L in early December. So by my calculations, the VG3 should get "L" round about, what,. like early 2016?: :( (if ever??)
[Verizon LG G3] SilentO:
2016??? Hah if you get lucky
[Verizon LG G3] TonikJDK:
Looks like 4.4.4 is dropping for t mobile do we should see one in a month or two.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
T-Mobile does practically no OTA testing. They are notorious for just pushing the OTA as-is from the manufacturer when they get it. Both good and bad to that.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I personally add that behavior from T-Mobile in as a major plus.
[Verizon LG G3] transfo47:
Guys, when this gets unlocked... I don't think anyone will be worrying about VZ Otas. [emoji6]
[Verizon LG G3] TonikJDK:
I'm with you. I don't recall where any of VZ's extra testing time created a better update than the other carriers. Certainly hasn't on any of the phones I have had. I don't actually think there is better testing. They are just slow.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
Verizon is notorious for having the most bloat and TMobile the least. Maybe that tells you what all the months of extra "testing" time is spent.....
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
I so wanted to switch to T-Mobile. The plan was see how I liked the G3 on Verizon, do the free test drive on TMO to see how their signal was and then if if it was good I would return the VZW G3 before my two weeks were up and switch to T-Mobile for another G3 (if I liked that phone during my verizon test).

Signal was fantastic in the city (faster that verizon in many, many places I go) but once I drove very far out I might as well have had an iPod. It's just terrible coverage, especially when you are taking a road trip so I can't switch.

Turns out I really like the G3 so I guess I'm stuck with it on Verizon.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
The G3 is great, the Verizon network is great... Unfortunately T-Mobile is not a real competitor in the real world.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Thats not true. VZW and AT&T are comparable in bloat. It is true that T-Mobile has slightly less. VZW spends all of their time testing the device on their network. Verizon considers nothing more important than protecting their network, to a fault.

They have a network certification program that would blow most peoples mind. Did I mention VZW has the fastest, most reliable network? There's a reason... The cost is how quickly they get updates to market.
[Verizon LG G3] lfk1:
I agree that Verizon is a great network. To much bloat as well, especially relating to their apps that are installed. Once I rooted and froze them my battery life improved greatly.

A friend of mine is on TMobile and he isn't happy with the bloat on his phone.

I guess were all in the same bloat..:D
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Any wild guesses as to when (and even if I guess) Verizon will provide "L" after it is posted for the G3 in general?
[Verizon LG G3] mikelikesbikes:
I guess were all in the same bloat..:D[/QUOTE]

HA!
[Verizon LG G3] budzylikessoup:
So say L comes out in November, the international G3 will probably have it for New Years and we'll probably get it mid February? Just bc that's how vz does things. I like to have really low expectations for updates because they always manage not to get met anyways.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Buddy, unfortunately your expe stations are optimistic. We may get an OTA to L by next summer, or not at all.
[Verizon LG G3] Cruiserdude:
Well the fact is the phone's been out some time, and has some known issues that have apparently been improved in updates that have hit the other US variants. Yet we still don't have an update, and supposedly one hasn't even hit testing yet. I don't care whose fault it is, it needs to be remedied.

Kinda ridiculous how Verizon claims their testing process and locked bootloaders "improve the experience" and yet they can't be bothered to push out an update that fixes well-documented issues that affect sales. At this point I'm eager for a cracked bootloader just to load a newer factory rom with the Verizon RIL ported.
[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
I'm with you. That's my greatest disappointment. I didn't read up on LGs history and that's my bad.... But when other carriers give updates and Verizon doesn't.... It's down right rediculous. I'm surprised the manufacturers aren't pressing the carriers for more control over updates. It really does harm the brand to not have timely updates. Especially with known problems. Only so much can be done with root without a bootloader unlock.
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
I remember once the HTC Rezound finally got the ICS update after nearly a year, people's phone apps started disappearing. I doubt they do user experience testing at all...
[Verizon LG G3] kendive:
Amen... Can't wait.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
In my opinion LG has gotten much better about updates of late. Verizon however still is one of the slowest at pushing these updates out to their victims (I mean customers *winks*). I understand that testing takes time. LG must not be a priority at Verizon though... Which is a shame...
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Another reason to maybe jump ship to another carrier and possibly get into the Nexus line.

Luckily in my area the carriers offer some decent service so after my run with the G3 here I'm most likely going to do that. Who knows maybe I'd even consider another Sammy if I knew the bootloader was wide open and development was good.

- Tapatalked From The G3 -
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
I will say this though, since it appears as if a Verizon employee is actually posting details about if a patch is in testing or not, I truly do appreciate the visibility into the Verizon patching process. This is much better than not knowing anything at all.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Do we know if this update will touch the bootloader though like they did with the S3s?

After the BS with the MDK S4s I'd be hesitant to update my G3. Although mine runs quite well anyways and I don't really have too many complaints.

Could it run better? Absolutely. Not saying it's without it's flaws, just in happy with where it's at for now.

- Tapatalked From The G3 -
[Verizon LG G3] crashN2u:
Well, here's the update. I took it with me on a trip and the experience was horrible. When I got back, I promptly exchanged the phone, even though I was told that there was nothing wrong. It was a night and day improvement immediately. Knock on worked great, wireless stopped dropping, the battery life tripled. I'm glad it turned out to be a defective phone.

As for the updates, my G2 just received an OTA last week enabling XLTE access, so I will be getting the update when it rolls for the G3, if it isn't already activated.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Really? I don't think LG has even thought about updating the G3 yet and I'm getting a bit disenchanted. I don't really get why they don't see this as a selling feature... I am 99.999% confident that I will have a G4 before verizon gets even 4.4.3 let alone "L", which I doubt they will ever get for the G2 or G3. I'm being serious....
[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
LG has released several software updates for the G3, just Verizon hasn't...
[Verizon LG G3] chocodough:
Yes but according to the guy on here from verizon who is posting the info, LG hasn't even given an update to Verizon to test.

So you can't really blame Verizon at the moment cause they haven't received an update to even play with yet.

Blame LG.
[Verizon LG G3] deuce237bblock:
I still blame Verizon, back on the SGS3 Sammy would send out there updates to the carriers and it would take Verizon months to release it and guess what Verizon said about it. They haven't received anything from Sammy.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Yes, it is confusing. If NetworkingPro is correct that Verizon has not sent anything yet to their testing group to even begin on, does that mean LG has not yet built any of their many (up to 10) updates for the Verizon LG G3 ?

Or maybe they have and they are available to Verizon, but Verizon has just decided not to start testing them yet. Waiting for something, maybe, like root method breaking, to be included. Verizon does not want us to be able to remove their pre-installed apps, after all...
