Lets get a list of all the videos available that show the driver issue so we can send them to ATT. I emailed an ATT contact and he forwarded it to his boss and HTC. He said to keep the videos coming. So lets round up all the videos in this thread.

Damn this makes me depressed.
Thanks, keep em coming the more the better.
What software can you use to make a video straight from the phone?
If folk want to make a strong case, then you need to be sure you are making a clear and proven case or it will not carry any weight at all.
Some of the youtube videos above ar nothing to do with the video drivers. Just as an example, the slow scrolling in PIE (the cause of which is known and an easy fix available) is not a video driver issue.
I play videos in AVI and MPEG format without freezing and jumping (and without special encoding). So you need to specify exactly what videos cause problems. We are not given details of what setup the videos shown are using. I can easily make video stutter like that on my PC with certain settings.
I am not saying there is no room for improvement and so don't bother. What I am saying is that the case to HTC will be ruined if it is mixed in with other totally unrelated issues, nothing to do with video drivers and a poor data on the video setup. It is easy for the likes of AT&T to say yeah give us your videos and we'll pass them to HTC. That's just cloud cukoo land if you think HTC will be influenced by stuttery videos on youtube.
I am becoming disappointed by the quality of the case that is being made to HTC on this issue. We will get nowhere unless we show a professional approach here with precise, accurate detail on video formats/resolutions frame rates etc etc that are causing a problem. It certainly is not all formats and for most you can adjust the settings in a good player to work fine. We should also not confuse problems with Windows Mobile, Specific MS programmes and driver issues. PIE scrolling is a specific programme issue (in the latest version only). Videos of a game going slowly prove zilch because we have no background info. on the setup other running applications etc.
Our case should be narrowly and precisely focused to make any impact. A host of random issues with no supporting evidence is doomed to fail. To give an example - if I phone up Dell and say may game is going slow, my PC crashes a lot, my CD Player doesn't work and my printer only prints green stripes - do you think I well get anything other than pushed on to a customer service techy. BUT you say if thousands of folk were all sayin g the same thing it would be different. NO, in fact I saw a site once where these kinds of issue were reported by thousands of folk across all manufacturers. The vast majority were of course due to users not setting things up correvctly.
So if there is a case to be made then let's do it with good strong evidence, and good quality supporting evidence and data. Those youtube videos are not worth much, rather like complaining that the steering on Nissan Cars does not work and to prove it here are some videos of Nissan cars crashing into things (I;m sure youtube is full of them, but it does not prove my case)

While I do agree with you, I believe HTC already knows exactly what the problem is. Their design/dev team knows whats up, you don't need to spell it out for them. They wont do anything unless they deem it necessary, thats why we need to keep pressing with complains, emails, videos and websites like chainfire has setup.
i read herethat it was on the market so i was wondering if any body has the apk ?

@Iheartradio said it would be there around 3PM this afternoon, not sure of the timezone though, but i am guessing EST
Edit: just rechecked the tweet, from @iheartradio, and yes, it will be available at 3PM EST
I was wondering the same. I can't find it in the market. Anybody got it.
Just downloaded it from the market.
Unzip, then install.
im so excited i finally downloaded it from the market.
wtf, this thing looks great, has the clearchannel stations i've been wanting, but only "connecting" all the time, never actually plays...tried many different stations...anybody know whats up with this app?
check my signature for what i'm using
i have emailed the developer, waiting for response
have a bugreport if someone wants to see it
Good luck with those emails to the dev. Been trying to get an updated status on this for months. Over my 1.5M wifi connection, the thing connects in 1-2 seconds, even when I'm only getting "one bar" of wifi...over my 5 bar, 800K 3G connection at my gym, it takes 5 minutes and drops out continuously. Another DRM laden failure to satisfy customers...

damn it . . . .
If it's any consolation, it works fine on the Droid (apparently). Odd how so many streaming radio apps, Pandora, Last.fm, etc work great over even marginal 3G, but Clear Channel has managed to make streaming even AM radio look difficult...
yup...works great on wifi, takes 4 minutes to start streaming on 3G
better than nuthin i guess, wonder if its buffering a large amount of play time first
It can't be buffering as it will drop out regularly. My theory is it's trying to initiate some bloated DRM layer and when it doesn't succeed, it drops and resets. You also cannot access Clear Channel stuff on a PC without their bloated web client while other stations let you stream through your own software.

i know...
this app definitely needs work it will probably never get, but, i've been trying to add some clearchannel stations to stuff like AOR, Droidcumulus, Cherry Player, even moodio.fm (which is now mymuze.fm) since november with no luck, so this is better than nothing
i just gotta live with selecting the station five minutes before i want to listen to it
planning my radio listening in advance now....
You used to be able to extract the stream URL and use your own client, but they seem to be changing the URL periodically through the hour to force their own interface.

authorization tokens...thats why i hate clearchannel
they claim its about saving bandwidth, therefore money
they dont want to have people outside of the advertisers' customers listening area hogging up their bandwidth, cause people in austrailia arent gonna buy groceries at the pittsburgh grocery stores that advertise during the penguins' hockey games, for example
its akamai....they got the whole authorization token thing going on....changes every 45 minutes or so on some of the stations i've monitored
So, I bought a lapdock today at a local Verizon Wireless store because they are on sale for $50.
I got home, used it for about 3-4 hours, and cannot see myself ever using it for anything more than a charging station. You cannot run your own apps, except though a virtual 'mobile mode', where things run visually glitchy and the overall resolution is blurry since it is scaling it the image by a few pixels.
I am hoping that someone who uses this accessory can tell me that this has some other use other than browsing on Firefox. I am an IT professional, and multiple times during the week I have to go to client sites, and thought having this would be useful. If it just gives me Firefox (web browsing ability), then I can do that on one of the local computers
Thanks.
Also being in IT, I work a lot with terminal server environments via RDP. The sole reason I bought the lapdock was to access my company's and client's terminal servers from anywhere. I applied the webuntu mod to my device and installed rdesktop and tsclient. This gives me full access to administrate and maintain all of our servers from anywhere I happen to be.

It might be better if you setup a custom port in the client's firewall then just change the RDP port on the TS in the registry to that port. At any rate, we use a professional monitoring agent that handles remote connectivity for support, among other things (hardware alerts, update monitoring, etc.)
Sidenote, I am finding this very hard to type on. The keys must be pressed down hard, especially the spacebar and there is no delete key. I am typing this post on the lapdock right now, and it has taken over 5 minutes. I could have posted it in the same time using the XDA app.
I use my lapdock for a larger screen on the netflix app. Also, the dock works as a mobile hdmi monitor, so my brother uses it to play on his xbox in whatever room he wants.
Wow I never knew you could plug another HDMI source into it, that's awesome. Anyway, I use mine just for surfing the web and watching Netflix, but hopefully the ICS webtop brings some cool new features.
fn-backspace is your delete key.
In its current state, the webdock is only marginally useful. The firefox browser is glitchy and slow, and it seems to lock up and reboot pretty often. For $50 though, it is nice to have a full keyboard (using it now).
I guess I would say I bought it on somewhat of a gamble after seeing some of the previews of webdock 3.0 when Moto pushes ICS out to the Bionic. If it's slow and buggy, then I'm out $50 and still have a marginally decent keyboard and display. But, if it's decent, then it'll be $50 well spent.
But I really can't believe they sold these for $300 when they first came out. If you paid even half of that, then I truly feel sorry for you. The user experience is just downright frustrating.
+1 on the previous posts. I bought it because of the sale, but never would have at even $90. I'm trying to set up webtop to fart around with Ubuntu, and using the dock as an easier twitter keyboard at conferences until I get another tablet. After that, I'll prolly give it to my kid, who was unfortunate enough to have me buy him a Bionic as well.

Hey guys i Have a Samsung galaxy s2 (Which I love dearlyand am planning to go for some other phone(upgrade)! :cyclops: my friends suggested me to go for a LUMIA and i got convinced(Almost)...'Man Why Leave Android?'was the question That Pop-ed Up! in My head!!!.....
Should i Go for a Lumia Guys???Is It Worth The Money?
PLZZ sUggesT
ALL i want my Smart-Phone to do is :
Check Mail(Tons of 'em)
Stay connected to 3g/Wi-Fi Throughout The day
Hear Hours of Music!
And The Battery Should Last Me atleast 12 Hours of Heavy Usage!
So what do u Suggest!!!
Only you can answer that. In my opinion wp is the best phone / social hub out there. What it does out of the box is second to none, If you want to mod the crap out of a it and have what is essentially a pocket computer then it isn't perhaps what you want.
Sent from my Rooted Kobo Arc
Depending on your definition of "heavy usage" then it's quite possible that there is no smartphone which, out of the box, will meet it... but there's a huge difference between, say, playing an online game (CPU at full speed, GPU at full speed, screen on continuously, data on continuously, audio on continuously) and streaming music (data and audio, but not much else). My ATIV S can do the latter for 12 hours no problem (all day, if it's playing local music rather than streaming) and that's without turning off the automatic synch of six email accounts and a few other background tasks. Generally speaking, WP8 will be better about battery use than Android, although an Android phone that emphasized long battery life could still last longer than a Windows phone that does, all other things being equal.
Checking multiple mail accounts works very nicely. I keep them separate on my phone, but you can combine them if you want to.
Staying connected is no problem. WP8 does default to turning off WiFi while the phone is unplugged and the screen off, but you can override this behavior if you want to; otherwise, the switch between WiFi and cellular data is seamless anyhow.
Music is one of the main things I use my phone for; it works great. I mostly stream from Xbox Music (I have what used to be called a Zune Pass, which gives me all-you-can-eat music streaming and even downloading, valid for as long as you maintain the subscription) and the phone should come with a free trial of that service; Nokia also has their own music streaming service, plus there's apps for using third-party services (Pandora, etc.). Please do note that due to licensing BS, these services may or may not be available in your region; if you expect to use them, check first! In any case, just playing music off the internal storage or SD card works fine.

If you love photography, you will go madly in love with a 920,925 or the beefier 1020(41mpx camera)
Yeah, if you want the best photos from your phone, then hands-down the 1020 is the device for you. It has a good battery life too. The performance should blow away your S2 as well.
Hi I am coming form a heavily used Note 2. As a business owner the Note 2 was my most important piece of equipment!!! Plus being always on the go it's flash video capabilities made being away from home easy. I never missed a basketball game or big fight. Watched them right on my phone. I remember being at a restaurant one Saturday night away from home and having the whole bar area crowd around my phone to watch a big fight. Pretty cool and useful. Unfortunately my Note 2 bit the dust and cant be fixed for reasonable money. Sprint store talked me into a Note 5 for my upgrade and contract renewal with a cheaper plan.
I was wondering if there are any ways to get similar apps or mods on my Note 5 Without rooting it. I am very dissapointed and feel like taking it back. Not impressed at all. Especially since I am out of pocket $200 and had to sign a 2 year plan. Maybe somebody can help or suggest some things. Or at least this can be a WARNING to potential buyers of the phones REAL LIFE CAPABILITIES AND LIMITS. Not some generic commercial hype or store sales pitch of since its a #5 it is better and does more things than the earlier numbered phones.
1. No live sports or new movie streams though web browsers
Lack of flash support ... I used flash websites to stream live sports or newer movies on my Note 2. I have downloaded the proper Adobe Flash version on the Note 5. I have also downloaded and enabled browsers like Firefox, Flash Fox, and Dolphin.
I have verified that flash is working. However, the sites for the live sports and movies DO NOT work. These sites all worked fine with the Note 2 stock browser.... Any other flash browser suggestions???? Anyway to download or install the Note 2 stock browser on Note 5?????
2. Mirroring. Watching EXACTLY what you see on your phone to a big TV.
All share Samsung data caster. I bought an expensive Samsung data caster that worked well to mirror my phone on to my living room TV.....Anyway to use this with my Note 5????? I don't see the option to on the phone.
Will a MHL cord to hdmi still mirror for a note 5??????
3. Using your internet and making a phone call at the same time.
Since I travel I use my phone as a modem for my laptop and computers....Tether... On my Note 2 with the PDA.net app it worked great. Was faster than any home internet I ever had. I could be on the phone and be browsing the web on my computer at the same time. It worked so well I cancelled my home ISP. It also came in handy even to just look things up on the phones internet while you were talking to clients.... I was VERY UPSET to find out that I can not do any of this on the Note 5. This is a major deal. I don't get this one at all. Any way to fix???????
4. Sound for music is not anything better.
5. Notifications and display are far less attention grabbing than on the Note 2. Easily miss texts or overlook them. The notification L.E.D.S are super WEAK.
6. My battery drains way faster! It does charge faster though. But I don't think this will be a good device to have where charging is not an option for a while.
7. You cant delete photos from the gallery... You have to open up the camera app to delete them... This seems so strange and pointless. Am I missing something here??????
Would appreciate any help or feedback on these issues. Thanks...
1. Not sure
2. Chromecast/Fire Stick, both work as I have personally tested this and both are available for under 50 dollars. (The screen mirroring option is in the quick toggles on your Note 5, mirrors everything on the screen not just compatible apps.)
3.Have not tested this
4. I think you need better headphones if you think it does not sound better.
5. Have not noticed this either
6. Disable unneeded apps, I am getting great battery life from mine.
7.QuickPic

Thanks for the info and response!!!!
2. I tried the the "quick connect" feature in the toggle down menu. IT WORKED with my DATA CASTER. I just don't like how it cuts the WI FI on too. i can live with that though. I now have mirroring without having to buy something else. Thanks!!!!
3. Yeah I have tested and confirmed with Sprint. Supposedly its a big deal and a lot of people are sending their phones back because of this. Literally just had a real life scenario where i needed to be on the phone and browse the web but couldn't..
4. I have $60 earbuds from Sienheiser. Maybe your ears work better or you have better head phones. I'm not willing to pay any more than $60 or buy another pair. They are less than a year old. But the sound is great. Just hard for my ears to pick up the difference. Both Note 2 and note 5 sound excellent though.
5. I also noticed that if you stay on a text message conversation screen and leave the screen on. . . . It will not ring or notify you if an additional text from that sender comes through. I don't like that at all. I want it to ring and vibrate for every text no matter what!
6. Can you clarify what you mean by disable????? Like delete???? Which ones did you get rid of????
7. I will look into QuickPic.....I'm guessing its an app in the play store?
Was your note 2 on lollipop? I have a feeling son of the things like notifications might be a lollipop thing not a note 5 thing
Go to your setting and adjust everything till it feels like your ideal phone.
If you're near wifi you can talk and be online at the same time l

1) You had an Android device from 2012. The internet and Google have since moved on to HTML5. Flash is dead. Very few OSs support flash anymore. This isn't a phone issue. The unfortunate issue is your websites still utilize flash which is dangerous and a battery hog. A lot of security flaws and too much memory usage.
2)DL AllCast from the Google Play store, it hacks into any casting device. I have an AppleTV (back when I used to be pro Apple) and I use it constantly. All your casting needs whether it's a movie, phone screen, music, gallery etc all at your fingertips.
3)This is a Sprint issue not a phone issue. Sprint uses CMDA technology which requires dual cellular radios in order to surf and talk. Every other carrier supports simultaneous voice and data. I have Verizon (also CDMA, but I have dual radios in my phone) and can do it with my phone. When the phones hit a particular carrier, they decide to upgrade the radios to do surf/talk. If they decide not to which Sprint did not. You can't. Some claim this is a way to keep they're network bandwidth higher. Its 2015, regardless the phone should be able to do it.
4) The Note 5 came with a lot of new audio support modes. One feature I would recommend is using adaptic. It recognizes your ears ability to sense particular frequencies and changes the sound to your ears which makes a lot of difference.
5) You change change your notification settings in the individual apps your speaking off. The LED notification can be adjusted to your liking within settings. If this doesn't work. You can always DL an app that uses your phones flash to flash when your getting a notification (I know, I know.... Like an iPhone but it works great).
6). Lollipop has not been kind to device batteries. A lot of unnecessary system processes and apps. There are other posts within the Note 5 category that will guide you on debloating and disabling those packages and apps to gain better performance. Again not a phone issue but a software issue. Android M (which these phones will be first in-line to get) will change a lot of the problems they created in Lollipop. The Note 5 is not the only phone that suffers from this problem. A lot of them do.
7) Yes you can, but its hidden behind a sub menu. Long press on the photo you want to delete and it will pop open the delete function in the top menu bar (see image attached)
Hope this all helps. I suggest dumping Sprint and coming to Verizon. While it's not cheaper. It certainly is much better. Speeds, tethering, and service pretty much everywhere.

Android M (which these phones will be first in-line to get) will change a lot of the problems they created in Lollipop. The Note 5 is not the only phone that suffers from this problem. A lot of them do.
7) Yes you can, but its hidden behind a sub menu. Long press on the photo you want to delete and it will pop open the delete function in the top menu bar (see image attached)
Hope this all helps. I suggest dumping Sprint and coming to Verizon. While it's not cheaper. It certainly is much better. Speeds, tethering, and service pretty much everywhere.

Thanks for all the info I really appreciate that!!!!!!:good:
1. Is 3 years really that long.... When you spend that much money for something i would expect to have that option. You don't have to use a or go on a flash site if you don't want to....Flash is alive and well. Like I had mentioned earlier, people who stream Live sports and recent movie releases are all still Flash sites. I do not know of one html5 site that live streams sports.... Would love to find one if its out there though
2. I got the stock app to work with my Samsung All share Data caster. It is really choppy though. Thanks I will give that one a try and see if its any better
3. Wow that makes me even angrier with Sprint. i have tried to go to Verizon and t-mobile. They both have said stick with Sprint. My bills would be over twice as much with them because they don't do true unlimited Data like sprint does. Even when they do offer it, they bottleneck and slow your speed down once you reach a certain amount of data... My data usage makes Sprint my only choice and the fastest for me.
4. Will try thanks!!!!!
5. Note 5 has that from factory. I have it turned on. but in the day light the white flash is not to visible. Also, not visible when the phone is screen up. I have played with the settings. The notification LED just isn't that bright, big, flashes frequent enough to work as well as the older one. The Flash notification though is super helpful at night or in the dark.
6. If I keep the phone I will look into that. However, I find all the battery life claims with factory settings....auto screen brightness, keeping all apps closed, with just normal daily use to be terrible. I find it hard to believe that getting rid of the bloat-ware will take it form terrible to acceptable, but i'll take your word for it ... I hope so.
7. No attached image is showing for me????? I tried tapping and holding the pic and nothing is happening.......still only gives the option to share.
I think dolphin browser still works with flash. you will have to find the flash apk download though.

Same thing... Will play for a second then freezes with Link 2... Also will not go full screen. Tried mobile and desktop modes.
Are you able to watch for more than a few secs and @ full screen without freezing????

trying to get the soccer streams to work isn't working for myself, but I was always able to get UFC to stream and NFL/CFL when I would try. I'll let you know later on if it works for me, might just be the streams are crap too.

Flash is dead:
http://www.businessinsider.com/google-chrome-wont-autoplay-flash-ads-2015-8
In device terms with technology coming out. Yes 3 years is old enough.
With phone service you get what you pay for. I've never had a dropped call, network failure, or internet outtage. And from previous experiences living in the sticks of Kentucky. I still got 4G Verizon. Now I'm in Florida and never lower then 3 bars of coverage. I pay $234 a month for two phones and a tablet. I pay for 10gb and I get additional 5gb of data added to my plan per month for free as I am a loyal Verizon Customer. So it works out great.
Idk why it didn't post so my apologies.
Here are photos of the deleting procedure and my battery life on my phone after stream lining it. I average 18-22 hrs on a single charge. Depending on usage.

COOL you get exactly what i'm talking about!!!! :good: Yes please keep me updated... Was able to do this on my Note 2 all the time. Have not been able to get any stream to work full screen or at all past a second or 2 on my Note 5.
So you are saying you have gotten the ufc or nfl streams to work on your note 5????

I hadn't tried as of yet, but it raises the question. It worked for my note 2 and 3 when I had them

Still cant get flash, dolphin, and front row to work....
Some more updates
- Still cant get flash for front row to work with Dolphin.
More updates:
-LED notifications are super weak and almost not visible on bright sunny days
- Have missed several text because if I leave a text conversation open if a text from that sender comes through It wont notify you.
-Also all free messaging apps wont work while you are on the phone. Like KIK and others. You can not receive any of those messages until you get off the phone . Makes me wonder if Email is like this too???? How counter productive and backwards...
They literally have taken out more features and all multi tasking... So what do I care if the hardware is better????? IT DOES WAY LESS!!!!!
Re
I use hangouts dialer and a google voice line to place calls and keep my data line open....

Yeah that part is true and no mapping and no nothing about data when your on a call. But you can hear a cricket fart at 200 paces! But again that is a sprint thing. Sprint blames it onSamsung but Samsung builds to sprints specs.
