Hi!
I've been reading alot on this forum and im very intersted in the S730, and by reading your posts here the majority seems to think the s730 is a great phone, but noone has said anything considering the video-driver issue in tytnII, whether its a problem in the s730 too?, So how is the video playbak in s730, is it possible to watch a 320x240 movie or TV-series, because i always downsize my shows to 320x240 will i not have any problems?, i currently have an Dell axim x30 which i often use to listen to music or watch movies and it has a 624Mhz processor which gives me smooth video playback, and would hate myself if i bought the s730 and the video playback would be lagging in 320x240...
And also, how is the call quality? is it clear and is the sim-card automatically set up?
thanks in advance...

Watching 320x240 is no problem. CorePlayer (TCPMP) handles it well, all is smooth, the cpu power is enough up to 30 - 33 FPS (MPEG-4 ASP, 300 - 400 kbit/s).
What program are you using to downsize the videos?
They way I am currently doing it is too slow
However video playback is perfect. Even with the full resolution video's it only studders on the video and my audio is solid. (core player as well)
Thanks for the answers, and im pleased to hear that watching videos on th S730 is smooth. I'll probably go for this phone, and hope that you guys continue finding good ways of maximizing the performance in the phone!
An btw when I downsize my series or movies i often use pocketdivxencoder found here http://www.pocketdivxencoder.net/ . But most of the videos i downsize are Family guy and American Dad so im not really sure on how the result of a real movie would be, but i guess if you maximize both the video and audio quality , you would still end up with a reasonable small file with nice quality!
But to my other question, is the call quality good? in other words does it perform well as a phone?, and i read about the memory leak which i hope will get fixed, but will it cause any trouble if i listen to music via the bluetooth A2DP profile when not using any other programs?
Cool, filesize isnt a problem with my 6gb sd card. I'll play with it. My way works but too much hassle.
My old phone was not very good, so I cant speak too much about call quality. I find its very good overall, I had one occation where my connection was bad (kinda remote location with 1 bar signal) and the person on the other end said I was full of static, did clear up though.
Thats the only issue I have had. The earpiece speaker volume could go up a little higher but I have never had problems not being able to understand people.
i used TCPMP with mine, and the 400mhz makes a huge difference
i barely have to convert any video now when i'm watching my shows (usually in 700x200 or something like that)
with steady framerate and quality
if it starts to stutter or slowdown, i just turn the quality a bit lower in the player and it plays back just fine
yeap
Ic watched normal divx's on the phone, so yeah its very good

Low Quality (Using SUPER): (Could be smoother, not as good as coreplayer)
Smooth, but very bad quality. Worse than CorePlayer.
HTC Touch HD Video Converter v1.21 (Poor Quality but frame rate is okay)
I have some weird "blinking" effect while playing this, especially at the beginning. Frame rate is ok though.
Low Quality 1200 (Using Super) (Not as smooth as CorePlayer Video)
Same.
Medium Quality (Using Super) (Runs Quite well but frame rate is low)
Runs smooth here. On par with CorePlayer. The quality is not the best possible though.
HTC Touch HD Video Converter v1.21 (Runs but poor quality and not great framerate)
Frame rate is perfect, but I get the same "blinking". I guess the encoding is messed up.
High Quality (Using Super) (Cant get a decent framerate and runs unwatchable)
Same.
My Normal Encode Settings (Using Super) (Played just as good as the CorePlayer but seemed to freeze on the areas where lots was happening)
Same here. I would say it is unwatchable.
DIVX Low Quality (For Coreplayer) (I found to run best)
A couple of stutters on some viewings. Good quality.
I would say that the CorePlayer video has performed the best. Second place goes to Touch HD video (second one) and the SUPER medium settings one comes third. I don't like the CorePlayer one, because it is not WVGA.
Anyways, I use the Touch HD converter and usually convert HDTV files (tv series mostly). The results are brilliant. Normal frame rate with superb quality.
so u think maybe my encoder is messed up and thats why im getting this weird blinking thing?

I have no other explanation . I'm using it all the time and this is the first time that I see this. Reinstall it and see what happens.
Hello. I recently installed Froyo and subsequently the Flash 10.1 beta on my N1. I was really looking forward to watching tv shows on megavideo, but it seems like just about all the videos I try have horrible audio sync problems. Also, there is a weird crackling sound in the audio. The video plays nice and smooth, its just the audio that lags. So, does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas for a fix? I'm thinking it might just be because flash isn't hardware accelerated yet, but most of the other video sites I try work just fine! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I've had the same problems! Sometimes it lags, and sometimes it doesn't.. I'm actually quite upset with the performance of Flash, sometimes its perfect.. and other times its simply hell. I hope it is perfect when the final is released..
Yep that's been my experience as well. I've been pretty pleased about the game performance (except I wish Plants vs Zombies would work!!), but video has been hit or miss. I hope they fix it when they turn on the hardware acceleration. Being able to watch all the videos of the web on my phone has been a dream of mine for years...
there's a new application, which DOES NOT require flash player, that is capable of downloading and streaming any megavideo video.. you can find it here:

please, let me know your feedback!
Fellow optimus black and android users.....whenever i try to watch a full movie on the device...halfway through, the video gets choppy(the video plays a little slower) and there is a discernible audio-video lag...it has happened with all the movies i have watched so far(all good quality dvdrips which worked perfectly fine on the laptop).......and adding to it the music player opens randomly and arbitrarily while watching movies..which really is annoying..i dunno why it happens.......i have tried the stock player,mx player as well as mobo player.....but the result is the same....Can anyone help me with this??is this a problem only on my device or are there others out there who have experienced the same?Some help on this issue would be appreciated
P.S:The device is brand new and it's barely a week(as on may 23rd) since i purchased it and have watched 8 movies on this with the same result.
anything under 720p should play just fine. maybe you have some background apps running that might affect the player.
you should update your software. that will surely solve the glitch.
off: how come the cowon d3 which is inferior in terms of specs can play full hd mkv but the ob can't?
Hmmmm.......okk Mr Orange i'll try your suggestion and come back to you..thanks for the tip anyway...........
Sounds like some sort of buffering issue as a result of RAM issues either inherently from hardware or more likely some background services.
Have you tried running the movie in s/w or h/w mode? Changing the bit depth?
What software are you running? Stock Froyo, Gingerbread or a modded OS?
Funky Ganja.....it's gingerbread, the stock version
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA
I received my new Tab S 8.4 LTE just this morning at work, I plugged in the power and fired up the bad boy.
After some quick setups and downloaded some apps, I went to test how the video looks. Took out my 128GB MicroSDXC from the Tab PRO 8.4 (yes, it works in my PRO), it has some high variable bit-rate short music videos I encoded with H264 + AAC (Variable 8Mbps - 40Mbps, 23.97 fps).
First, I used the built in player... and to my surprise.. the video is noticeably playing at a lower frame rate and audio is sliiightly out of sync. Not sure the right word for a video playing a lower frame rate, it is not jittery, not stuttery. I tried all the other videos, the same.... including the Samsung video in the internal storage, which showing ~14Mbps data rate.
I then tried MX Player with all H/W+ deoder switched on, same thing. Then I tried BSPlayer, also with Hardware acceleration, no good. I was disappointed. I searched this forum and googled but I only keep seeing people with micro stutters, but not the issue I'm looking for. Restarted the Tab S, same thing.
I don't understand... the videos are working fine in the PRO. I was thinking maybe QS800 is superior ?
Eventually I decided to just Factory Reset and redo the whole thing again, to see if that fixes it. And it did fix it. Videos are running as smooth as it should again, yay :laugh:
So in case anyone else having video frame rate issue, Factory Reset. Case Closed.
How do you test your video framerates?
That's what I was looking for earlier, but since I was at work, I couldn't look for long enough. Was hoping something like Fraps is available, but I just went ahead and Factory Reset it while I only had a few apps installed.
But the video frame rate issue was noticeable as long as you have watched the video with different means (Computer or another working tablet) to compare.
To check the video's original frame rate itself, and since I use MX Player, I just tap and hold the video file, then tap Properties. It shows frame rate, bit rate, video resolution, codec, etc.
Does anybody have this issue when recording a video in say a concert, night club or even your car with loud music on.. the video will playback fine.. however the audio will be really distorted and you can literally hear nothing but fuzz and base.
The Huawei p9 plus has been my first android phone from Apple in the last 4 years, and really like everything about it.. would be a shame if this was an issue that could not be resolved, i had read somewhere online it's due to the huawei having 2 microphones ...
Any help is appreciated
I'm sorry to disappoint you. While my Note 4 made pretty decent video recordings (sound wise) my P9+ is horrible and absolutely useless for recording live music. I haven't found a solution yet other than moving away from the music...about half a mile
My P9plus VIE L09 records audio WONDERFULLY ! It's almost on par with Nokia 808 Pureview, which is fantastic. Audio is recorded undistorted even if you put the smartphone against high levels of sound (close to a loudspeaker for example). I tested and it is really great.
Strange, very strange. I stopped using my P9+ in loud places because of the terrible audio quality. I had my device send in to a Huawei service center. They returned it saying nothing was wrong.
I added a file to demonstrate the distortion in a loud place. It's a zipped mp4 file.
P9plus recording @ over 100 dB
I put the phone at 10 cm in front of one loud (over 100 dB) loudspeaker(Studio monitor JBL LSR 4326) with top microphone to the tweeter and bottom to the woofer, centered in the middle on axis. I could easily go higher in level but already hurt my ears next to the speaker, it was very loud. There is absolutely no distortion. Recorded with stock Huawei's recorder (.mp4 16 bit 48KHz). Sound recorded on camera videos are the same (very clear, detailed and no, no distortion).
Phone stock firmware, VIE L09.

it is like a studio recording )
i will try live record thursday in studio (with my band) and upload here.
Yes, very good mics in P9plus. That song was a compressed mp3 and speakers yelling loud but recording is good and not distorted. You can use your smartphone for interviews for example with very good results. Outdoor it picks up wind but as a trick you can wrap the smartphone in one microfiber cloth and, voila, wind removal (only for audio, not video)
@raduverdes, sound distortion in concerts is very often related to bass levels. Your track contains almost no low-mid and bass, it's mid's an high's and that's probably the reason why it sounds good. In the EW&F track is a lot of bass and combined with the high volume the recordings on my p9+ sound very bad.
@Ce Your (very very short) sample recording is very saturated and distorted. I compared Huawei p9 plus mics with Nokia 808 Pureview (with it's Nokia rich recording technology, supporting sound pressure up to 140 dB according to Nokia) and Huawei keeps up very well against my 808 Pureview, almost as good. Nokia 808 is probably(i'd say, surely) the best audio recorder in the smartphone world so I'm very happy with output quality of Huawei P9 plus. Huawei supports very high levels of pressure without breaking a sweat, similarly to Nokia 808. Recordings are very clean and clear for a mobile phone.
I highly recommend you don't stay in very very very loud places if you want to keep your hearing. Don't listen to music (speakers /headphones) over 80-85 dB for long periods of time. I earn my living with my ears and probably the last thing I want is to go deaf.
You probably don't get better sound recording from a smartphone at the moment, it's way better than iPhone 6s, Samsung S7, LG G5, Xiaomi or whatever flagship smartphone, I listen to lots of audio samples on YouTube before purchasing my P9plus.
Sample recording P9plus @ Grado SR80e & Samsung Tab S 10.5
Here is a sample recording using Grado headphones feed by Samsung tablet (no amp but at max volume) ; stock recorder app, mp4, 128kbps, 48KHz. A little too much mids and highs, I know but you get the image. I think it's very good for a smartphone.
At 1:40 I received a message on my tablet
I made a video test recording at INSANE level (I think over 120 dB) very close to the speaker and yes, it's awful, distorted. I don't want to be in such loud place for sure. At 1-1,5 meters away (~105-110 dB sound level) recording is good, undistorted . So, I'd say Huawei P9plus is wonderful /good in normal to LOUD places and bad/unusable in INSANE, STUPID LOUD places. It's smart enough not recording stupid things.
Hi!
I'm very interested in this thread. I'm just trying to find a successor for my HTC M8, years ago the only android phone that could handle loud sound recordings.
I found this video of Huawei p9 (one of my favorites), and I really impressed about the quality (powerful bass by FunktionOne speakers)

BUT, reading your comments I'm not sure if this video is true, especially after watching this video of one of you. It's horrible!!!!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69942999&postcount=4
Maybe some software update??? If someone can confirm that the quality of the first video it's true, tomorrow I'll buy the P9 :laugh:
Thanks!!!
