Nexus 5, android 6.0.1, Firefox app latest from play store.

reason i use Firefox is to play you tube video on background.

on the screen didn't show any option to change video resolution.

i scare in case its go higher then 144p which is waste when i don't watch just listen to music. if my info not enough please tell so.

Desktop version still don't show the option

ps. sorry my english
[AirDroid] goofwear:
why not just use this. you can play videos in the background and listen to muse with the screen off, you can even download the video and or music in any resolution (THIS WORK WITH OUT ROOT)

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.J. Bender:
I'm getting ready to pack in my M8, and I want to go the same size or smaller for under $450 (tops). The Z5c seems to be the only Android phone that really fits that bill while keeping respectable performance, but there are two issues that have me thinking twice: overheating and the "self-cracking glass".

I know nothing can be done about the screen (unless a tempered glass protector helps to keep it intact), but the overheating, if fixed, could sway me away from the Honor 8 or LG G5. I've read that the firmware update that came along with Marshmallow has largely fixed the problem, and combined with a patch available here that throttles the phone a little more aggressively, heat is no longer a big problem. That said, I'm concerned about gimping the performance of the phone in order to keep it from char-broiling my hands. How noticeable is the throttling and, if thermals are still an issue with the phone, how big of one are they?

If you wouldn't recommend the Z5c, the thermal issues remain or the throttling hurts performance in a noticeable way, I'd be curious if there are any other phones (with a micro SD slot) that you think are worth looking at.

Thanks!

Hey , i have my phone from March

this year, 3-4 updates still overheating..

battery top 46C, and cpu 60C MAX so far and stays there,

but! when battery reached 40C+ and CPU 60C+,

device become 50% slow

(i guess to prevent overheating)

on some games\apps you feel it, some not,

even on anutu cold device is about 90K hot device is about 50K score

after 5 -15 minutes of gaming already from 28 to 43, (depend room temp and game\app) sometimes i can shoot 4K videos for 10 minutes sometimes 1 hour

i think self cracked glass happening because two reasons

1 mainly reason: moving fast from cold when the glass is pretty hot by much (heat cause expanded)

2.sitting on device without notice

ps

sorry if my english is bad

Thank you! Do you know if the X Compact will run any cooler? The lower power chipset can only help, but I'm concerned about paying $500 for a phone that might not be as powerful as its older brother, which now retails for $100+ less, especially if the overheating and cracked glass issues aren't solved.

If only the Honor 8 wasn't riddled with iOS disease...

As far as iknow for the X compact does not have 4K, slower GPU,(CPU speed is about the same) not water resistant \proof

but he run abit cooler and got more RAM 3 for multitasking

i own only Z5 Compact

first, sorry for my english .. i have my z5c about 2 months and i don`t have any problems with overheat .. i think only some devices are afected .. i`m running 6.0.1 rooted .. before i had an xperia z2 and while i play a game (clash of clans) was a lil bit warmer than z5c ..
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superrman:
maybe hardware defective on some line, i remember every 3 months came new line ver 1 2 and 3 ( i think i have revision 1 or 2) 3 was available but didnt sold here

you can check your temp history somehow? like C3 widget?

or real time small app (shows cpu and batt temp)

maybe you dont play heavy games?

try run antutu 3-4 times see how much score is changing each run ,mine is from 90K to 50K more annoying then overheating himself
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adryanodej:

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

here are the results:

Played 10 min`s of strategy game: Cpu temp: 41c Battery temp 35c

then : 1st antutu 70.432 Cpu temp 42c Battery temp 38c

2nd antutu 62.831 Cpu temp 41 c Battery temp 38c

3rd antutu 62.148 Cpu temp 41c Battery temp 39c

anyway , your antutu score is much higher than mine in the first time (i think depends what rom, kernel do you use..) , but like u see, mine didn`t drop at 50.000 in 3 attempts .anyway my max cpu temp was 42c when i run for first time antutu,

Hope i helpt you

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
Any S810 device will overheat, it's inherently badly designed. Sony's hardware thermal solution is probably the best any OEM have done with the S810. It's also possible that Sony has optimized under-the-hood settings to further reduce load on the SoC and keep the temperature down.

Other software tweaks are mostly just a balance game of performance and throttling threshold.

Stock Sony firmware goes the more conservative route, so usually you won't experience noticeable heat when using it lightly.

It will still get pretty hot if you use it for intensive tasks that utilizes the full capacity of the hardware, such as playing demanding games, record in 4K for a long period of time, or watch videos that need a lot of complex decoding... etc.

If you're looking for performance without "unnecessary" throttling, just avoid all S810 devices.

Personally, most of the time I had no problems with the temp and perf of my Z5C, but there has been a few cases where I did experience slowdowns due to the throttling.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jomkingal:
Got mine from December 2015. After few weeks of usage, it really overheats a lot. After several updates through the months, Device still overheats until now, still uncomfortable to the touch when it overheats. Tried reformatting yesterday, performance seems better with less bloatware stuff and on regular usage. But when cpu is under heavy load, device heats up and performance is reduced a lot to the point that it lags. But overall, still love my Z5C~ <3
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
It overheats uncomfortably. I tried xpower 4.0 ROM, smarttemperaturex mod, etc although it does reduce heat but not enough to be comfortable and im not talking about heavy tasks I'm talking about Firefox browser, WhatsApp and tapatalk.

The phone is almost never room temperature when using its either warm or hot which gets annoying after some time, don't even let me mention how hot it can get with few minutes of phone calls.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sadman Khan:
I'd say go for X Compact. Zero overheating issues. This heat actually gets on your nerves at one point. While the gpu of X Compact is inferior, in long periods of gaming there won't be any throttling on XC but Z5c will give half the performance so at the end of the day, the X Compact will feel a lot snappier

Any new cpu is hotter than quad-core of sd800/801 bcoz it's now much faster, even sd820 gets hot during heavy loading though better than sd810.

I've flashed SmartTemperatureX v1.61(no charging bug) and found temp is acceptable and battery life improved a bit.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bofis:
I just applied this file, and have not had many issues, what does SmartTempX do?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
I've been tested both, they are about the same to tweaking the thermal-engine.conf. General use I actually prefer Tommy one as it got no bugs.

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/mod-smartemperaturex-best-balanced-s810-t3438890

The SmartTempX I found it could throttle the A57 big core for even longer time during high usage but it got charge bug. Most reported 1.7/1.8 ver got super slow charging speed at 200~500mah sometimes(many times indeed). I flashed 1.61 but I think it actually also a bit slower to charge the phone compared to stock/Tommy, just not slow to the level 200~500mah.

They got about the same battery life. In my experiences, SmartTempX might got very slightly better battery performance but it is just little. If you are hardcore gamer and don't care to charge the battery slower then try 1.61, for the most people the Tommy one with fast charge speed probably more important.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiracleMiah:
The Xc runs a lot cooler. It's an improved version of Snapdragon being more energy efficient unlike the one found in Z5c. The Xc can handle majority of the tasks like Z5c. I seen a Youtube video where someone played same game on both the Z5c and Xc and both ran fine, no difference.

However I'd point out with the Xc the back part will get scratched easily even if you look after your gadget/s. The Xc build finish is not that great compared to Z5c.

My advice get the Z5c. In life nothing last forever. Enjoy it while it's out.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEndHK:
Impossible being much cooler. SD650 made by 28nm only and SD810 made by 20nm process. My previous owned S6 with 14nm exynos 7420 also noticeably hotter than SD800/SD801 under high load, all new generation cpu is hotter simply bcoz much faster. SD650 reduced to six cores(not octa-core) the heat issue would be better.

The problem with Z5c seems to be Sony failed to tweaking the thermal engine on SD810, we have to running our mod.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
Yes, Z5C overheats and will overheat. I've found a dirty solution: reverting to 5.1. It still heats, but not that much. Now it can last a day of light usage.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zegoo:
Hi and thanks for your replie. So, in what, reverting to 5.1 is a dirty solution ?

I've got Z5C and XC and i prefer to use the Z5C under LL 5.1.X for others reasons than less heat.

The best way is the thermal mod whatever the rom under MM or LL.

I tried the mod and i trust my hands will burn ... But i think it is possible to adjust temp in the file to get the Z5C working good with their all cores without very overheating. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jufofu:
On mine it's unfortunately impossible to escape overheating however I tweak it. But flashing LP helps make it much less an issue.

It's a dirty solution because LP is outdated and doesn't have latest security patches.

when using the new alternate HW+ decoder no video shows embedded subtitles......... the old hw+ decoder plays the files perfectly with subs but this new one doesn't show subtitles whatsoever........
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Can collect the bug report & share here.

FYI, now if you disable the subtitle on one video it will be disabled on further playbacks. You have to manually select the subtitle again. Once you select the subtitle it will be enabled everytime till you disable it again.

i know that and my subtitle is enabled....it's just that whenever i am using newer hw+ the subtitle doesn't show and whenever i am using older hw+ OR HW OR SW subtitle shows....... u don't have that problem???

No, I can't reproduce. Can you provide a sample clip?

[MX Player] Tinderbox (UK):
I cannot remember what video it was, but it was an mkv, when playing a video the subtitles would show even though they were disabled, then if i enabled subtitles i would have two identical sets of subtitles, though one set was a few pixels apart from the other.

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Subtitle rendering & Media Playback both are individual functions. It less likely to conflict.

Just downloaded the original video & tested myself. After test & trails I have found that "Improve SSA rendering" option in Settings > Subtitle > Text is somehow affects when using new HW+ decoder for video decoding. Report passed to the developer. Just disable it as a temporary solution till the developer fixes the issue.

Edit: Update from developer

EDIT: I think i am beating a dead horse, this TV Box can only play 720p 10bit H.265 and H.264, 1080p is not really possible in a lot of circumstances though some 1080p do play and even 4K plays great though on an 1080p TV.

EDIT2: I found a 45 page datasheet on the RK3229 it might be of use in the future, i have attached it below.

John.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Just checked.

Your device doesn't have H264 Hi10 & H265 Main10 decoders (May Be It's not implemented by OEM). If I am not wrong, 1.8.x System decoder detection has improved. That's why it throws the error straight away.

When there is no System decoder, MX will use ffmpeg based SW decoder. But, decoding will not have hardware acceleration. Hence it will fully depends on your CPU. When CPU can't handle excessive decoding load you will see jerky playbacks.

Your CPU may be capable of handling 720p Hi10 or Main10. May not be enough for 1080p.

Normal 1080p (i.e 8bit) may play well in HW & HW+ since it can make use of hardware acceleration.
[MX Player] Tinderbox (UK):
Did you see the Rockchip RK3229 datasheet i attached to my last post, also i found these specs for the RK3229 see photo in link below, but it looks like it`s all crap or is there codec ect missing from the TV Box.

http://imgur.com/5KmKhx1

John.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I have checked the official specs of RK3228. It doesn't support 10bit H264. But, it has capabilities to decode 10bit hevc. May be device vendor aka OEM has disabled it.

I have already mentioned the following multiple times in different thread. Again, SOC specs has nothing to do with real life performance. It's not necessary that an OEM has to implement the all features of SOC. They have to pay license fees to implement/utilize many features. So, they simply don't implement that.

For example, Based on users report, A Sony device with Snapdragon 820 can play HEVC 10bit video whereas Samsung device with same Snapdragon 820 can't decode it. Because they didn't implement it (May be to save some patent costs).

So, never ever compare the device by the dataheet of SoC. Just check the device data sheet instead to know what you will get.
[MX Player] Tinderbox (UK):
I see that Google Play has a Codec viewer that`s shows what video and audio codecs are on your device, it`s a pity it does not give you the option to save the list to a text file, so we could compare codec on various android device.

Also is it possible to copy codecs from one android device to another?

Thanks

John.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
No, it's not possible. Because, GPU based video decoding has to be configured with ROM itself.

In MX Player 1.8.9 list of supported codecs & profile levels in your device are exported to a text file while generating bug report. Just check the media_codec.txt inside your bug report.

It will be same as what you see in other apps.

But,

Not all codecs are hardware accelerated. Codec names starts with omx.sec & omx.google are software codecs. It means it won't use the GPU for decoding even if you are using HW or HW+. So, it may lag on some occasions. But, it might be better optimized to the specific device. It may work better than MX's SW eventhough both are software decoders.
