I spoke with Netflix - they don't give a thing about you as a customer. I rightout cancelled the UHD Subscription because of the way netflix so called customer service (it is a bad, bad joke) is treating me as a customer and building walls to make it as hard as they can for you to get anything through to them. You can only call or chat, no email . this is ridicolous.

Well, anyway, test patterns are showing that it is maxing out at 720 on this screen, which has 4 times the pixels 720 is showing. Using an older client version (prior 5.3.1), you get at least 1080. Netflix does not care about this and tells you to 'tune your internet connection'. Sure, my 500/200 Fiber connection. With ipad and older client versions playing 1080 at the same time, if needed, but the current client not playing 1080. And then they just stop there. No, this is all we can do. Wenn, you didn't do a thing besides taking my money avery month.

So, no more netflix. Sorry for OT.

We have 1600p screen. I obtain 1440p60fps on YouTube. On Netflix I can see material marked as HDR eg 13 reasons why.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] hardpike:
All true

Netflix is shameful, so sad.

HDR series are ok, but with 720p

All non HDR is limited in bandwith and looks poor. I have the old 1080p version and i use that version for non HDR and current for HDR....seems a fair compromise.

Comparing some scenes of hannibal, day and night.

Do as I do is my recommendation

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

On amazon is tricky, the app is so strange.

All works ok 1080p and hdr works when you can find it.

I am not sure how to kick hdr content or even find it.

You can find the same series with hd without and with hdr... is weird

But it is supported and looks great, for example the grand tour
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] DAvid_B:
Youtube HDR videos do look like they are playing in HDR.

My Note 8 shows options in the resolution playback that include "HDR", but the S4 does not.

I'm going to guess this is an android 8.1 bug or feature.. as both the Note 8 and the S4 have the same version of Youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] skaros:
I wanna thank you for discussing this here because i was minutes away from purchasing from south korea the 6gb ram version for 850 euro. I was so dissapointed with this discovery. Such a shame for a tablet coming from samsung and so powerful with an amoled screen not to be utilized to be used to its fullest potentials. Ipad or google surface supports full hdr netflix/ youtube??
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] ToonTonic:
Hi folks, I sadly see this is still a thing.

I was gifted a TabS4 for Christmas and although the screen is stunning, the lack of HDR playback is frustrating.

YouTube, Prime, Netflix.....what gives?

On YouTube I can play any HDR video on my Galaxy S9+ and it players perfectly 1440p HDR. Using YouTube Vanced it will even state it's outputting 2160p HDR (I know that's beyond the screen resolution)

Run them exact same videos & I get the same Res but zero HDR.

Anyone had any contact with any of these providers or Samsung?

I've just tweeted them all now, I'll report back if I hear anything because this is not acceptable. Ill happily get this tab replaced with something that works.....though I'll miss the screen!

Can the tab S4 play 1440p correctly in YouTube?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] ToonTonic:
Yes plays 1440p fine on YouTube, plays 2160p fine too on Vanced.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] luminidi:
Have any of you guys tried comparing the HDR of the Tab S4 with another device?

I downloaded a video demo and put the Tab S4 next to an S8 and it was disappointing how much better the S8 looks.

The Tab S4 doesn't even look like HDR, it just looks like SDR with a wider color gamut and the brightness blown up.

Besides I found the same vid on YouTube and I compared it to the local file I downloaded, and both look the same, which is odd because supposedly YouTube doesn't support HDR on the Tab S4.

And the local file is definitely playing on HDR because I get the label on the top left corner when using the Samsung Player.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] EatingPie:
What label are you seeing?

I have both HDR10 and Dolby Vision files and I see no label indicating HDR in the Samsung player.

I know the content is HDR by checking with mediainfo, but I do not see how to tell if anything is actually playing in HDR.

-Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] luminidi:
This one (I can't post direct links due to the 10 message limit):

i66.tinypic.com/qodphu.jpg

You can find the raw video over at 4K media dot org, click "Samsung UHD Demos" on the right pane, video is called "Samsung x RedBull: See the Unexpected HDR".

You'll find the video on YouTube as: "Real 4K HDR 60fps: See the Unexpected from Samsung and RedBull in HDR", the channel is called "The HDR Channel".

I also subscribed to the Netflix HDR plan and I'm not seeing any significant difference. I'm pretty convinced this tablet can't do true HDR.

So I'm not surprised YouTube didn't even bother making the app for the device HDR-ready, they probably know it's fake-HDR, just like the Tab S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] EatingPie:
Thanks for the reply. User error on my part.

I used the "My Files" app to select the video and direct launch "Video Player" (purple icon). No HDR. By chance I ended up going to Galaxy App store, and found "Samsung Video Player" listed as not installed. I installed it, launched it, and sure enough I now get the "[HDR]" tag on the title.

I compared playback in HDR to VLC, and I could tell the Samsung Video Player looked different/better. Primarily in terms of brightness. I think the colors looked a bit more vivid, but I cannot eliminate the possibility of the "louder sounds better" phenomenom here.

-Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] ToonTonic:
What I find really frustrating in all of this is that when speaking with Devs from apps like YouTube, Vanced, VLC, Prime & ofcourse Samsung, they are all insistent that there apps support the TabS4 & HDR.

It's absolute nonsense.

Further to that, Samsung are just the most useless tech company in the world in accepting fault/issue with products then fixing it.

So it is what it is, we all know it's not working as it is, but Samsung won't admit it, certainly won't fix it & then expect us to fork out a small fortune for the TabS5 in a few months.

Almost half into 2019 and samsung HDR tablets still dont work with HDR capable apps. What a big fail. This is the reason why i didnt buy the S10. Done with samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] corb06:
What I really find annoying is that NetFlix videos don´t go over 720p on the Tab S4. Here we have the best tablet screen in the world, and video quality is so darn low.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Ziken:
Here are a FEW things you guys HAVE to remember....

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and any other streaming service, depending on which shows you're watching, will always be in 1080P60FPM. Majority of 4K HDR are limited, as 4k HDR movies and tv series haven't expanded their market just yet. The majority of Netflix not showing HDR depend on which film you are watching. Try some of the latest movies to come out, like The Avenger: Infinity War or such to see and compare. If you use older movies, at best, you'll probably get 720P mainly because it up to the Studio if they'll work on the film, but just take what you can. I can see that it much better than the iPad and the visual is wayyy better on the Tab S4. But take it as you will.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] EatingPie:
While what you say is generally true, this isn't the issue with the S4. Netflix limits resolution to 720p on the Tab S4, and AFAIK it stays that way regardless of the available source resolution. It's an artificial and nonsense limitation.

I have played back HDR material on the S4 using Samsung's video player (which will tag the playback with "[HDR]") but from what I can tell, it merely maxes the brightness. I do not know if the S4 is actually playing HDR.

It probably depends on what are you used to when it come to mobile phones but personally I love it. It's pretty fast and it's small. The camera is quite good. Battery lasts 1-2 days - according to usage of course.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
Be sure to check Bluetooth, WiFi, speaker sound and balance (earpiece speaker is normally a bit quieter, but neither should be distorted), in addition to the SIM card function, of course. Fortunately, a number of these functions can be tested using the factory testing mode (type *#*#7378423#*#* into the phone dialer).

It's a good phone, and I like it, but the above are the things that are sometimes brought up here and on the Sony Xperia forum.

Battery, even after almost 2 years from manufacture date, still gets me through a day easily despite heavy use. This phone works really well with Chromecast, in case you're interested.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jabberman:
I am getting ready to head on vacation and I want to use my 8525 as my "Gateway" as there will be 5 of us with laptops and I want to share my 3G connection so here is what I did. I connect my 8525 to my Laptop via usb, I start internet sharing on the 8525 and in my laptop (vista) under network connections I see Local Area Connection 6, remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device. I right click this connection and select Sharing, and enable internet connection sharing on it. Then what I did was took my router (linksys) and disabled dhcp, but enabled wireless and didnt set any wep or wpa. I connect from my laptop to a port on the router (not the internet port) and then goto another laptop to see if I have internet. I dont, I can see the ssid, I can connect but I do not have internet access. Should I use a crossover cable? What do I have to do so that all of us can have internet thru my phone? Oh, my laptop does have internet (from the usb connection on the phone). I tried to setup the router so that dhcp was enabled, but then I kept getting an ip conflict error, so we cant do that. Also I am not getting an ip on the wireless, it has an ip of like 169.254.177.12.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Jim
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TechBill:
There a software which you can install on 8525 and turn it into a wifi internet sharing but I don't know if it capable of handing up to 5 laptops. You might be able to use this software and get a router with some custom firmware which allow bridging then set it up to have router access the internet from 8525 wifi and share it among the 5 laptops but I am not sure if you could bridging and do wifi AP on the same router if not then you'll probably need to have 2 router one to bridge from 8525 wifi and then connect cable to another router that will be an AP for the laptops.

That would be my best guess of doing this unless one of the laptop can do AP via wifi when 8525 is plugged into usb slot.

I really don't care about restoring back to factory ROM with TA partition intact. I'm only concerned if certain apps will not work correctly, mainly camera app, if I don't do TA partition, as I've read in some ROM's guide they do some patching with keys from TA partition.

3 BRAVIA engine for videos and pictures ,
