Has anyone else experienced this?
After the Froyo update on my S, video playback has become jerky at times, to the extent that the video stops but the sound continues. This never happened before....but it returns to normal after about 10-30 seconds.
I'm playing back xvid and divx avi files, approx 700mb.
Can anyone help please!? it's getting really frustrating!
Yeah I have also experienced it. But not in all videos. In mine it is just minute that is for about a 2 seconds and it becomes normal. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I am better off with Eclair.
My videos are fine, but MP3 playback hiccups...also apps force close all the time, even mid-call at times...Eclair was better, 2.1.1 made it bad and 2.2 has made it worse
Galaxy S flashed through Odin...unrooted..don't know if I ought to risk rooting it..any suggestions?
I have the same issue..already did a post about it.
did u guys restore apps/system using backup?? as far as I know this could be the issue.
I will do a reflash from scratch this weekend and try videos on a fresh install.
I am convinced that this is one of the issue. I had flashed a custom rom froyo and I have also flashed through kies hack JPO. In both versions of froyo, I have the same issue. I have not restored any backup or anything.
yeah I just upgraded to asian jpd via odin was on stock optus rom. Hardreset etc. lagfix fixed via z4mod rooted. Experiencing the same jerky video playback with standard divx videos. Tried another data wipe but problem persists.

Did you find any solution to the problem.. me too stuck with the same issue..for me mkv's play good, without any issues..but if its avi back comes the jerkiness..
at least i'm not the only one....
I'm still having problems and I had to give up watching somethign on the way to work as it was so bad and kept saying "cannot play this file".
I started from scratch, done a factory reset after upgrading and it hasnt fixed the problem. Also I've tried to close down all programs before watching something and even clearing the RAM, but it makes no difference.
I'm getting really annoyed with it now! Does anyone have a solution? Anyone!!?

It was so bad that I have to revert back to eclair jm1. Wonder if JPX have this issue. Any upgrade yet?
I have watched for hundreds of movies at my HTC wildfire but after yesterdays update to Froyo the video is no more smooth. The problem is so rediculous, the phone became much faster but the video playing .....Will keep searchin for solutions.

I guess it not just the galaxy hardware but other as well... maybe it froyo.
None of the players could help, but yxflash. The main problem with yxflash that together with smooth playing it produced significantly lower quality of video-rendering.
Anyway I've managed to solve the issue. The steps were:
full reinstall of official android 2.2,
hardware reset,
microSD card formatted,
the video converted with Movavi Video converter into Ipod preset or what ever your device needs. That's all.

Hi.. I have a question regarding music stutter issues with my Bell i9000. On the stock music player. Im currently running android 2.1 stock rom, rooted and one click lagfixed. I noticed it happens when im doing cpu intensive tasks, aka a bunch of things running at the same time.. For the time i wrote this thread it happened twice. I just wanted to know whether this is normal or if someone else experiences the same.
also. . When i download applications from the market, after the download finishes the phone becomes barely responsive and only goes back to normal when the message 'successful indtalation of -APPNAME-. This usually lasts from 10 to 20 seconds, and it happens almost everytime.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone could link me some useful info regarding flashing as i am a complete noob.
Thanks in advance
any ideas anyone
I have the exact same issue you described so I assume it is "normal" in a way. I'm guessing it is linked to the crappy RFS file system, have you tried a lagfix?
same experience too.

yes... I have the One Click Lag Fix by RyanZA.. it helped with general lag, but i still suffer from slowness at times, and music stuttering.
no one else has this issue?
I have occasional stutters too. so I went back to my iPod, lol.
I've been on CM6 stable since it was released and everything has been peachy.
A week or two ago, though, I fancied trying the korean radio and a new kernel (an intersectraven one) - the first time I've experimented with either. I usually just stay with whatever the ROM comes with.
Now I have discovered my downloaded videos no longer play. Well, they play for about half a second then I get the "Sorry, this video cannot be played" message. Videos taken with the camera play fine.
I thought it might have something to do with the radio or the kernel, so firstly I changed the kernel to the pershoot one that's available in ROM Manager. No success there, so next up was the radio. I downgraded back to 4.06 (not too bad since the korean one didn't offer a significant improvement on data speeds). Unfortunately the videos are still not playing
Will I have to reinstall CM6? If yes, will any of my settings revert to default? I know I would necessarily have to wipe, but I'm worried that even flashing CM6 on top of CM6 without a wipe, it'd wipe all my configurations.
Thanks to anyone who knows how to fix this slight issue.
p.s. whilst typing this out, I've found that Rockplayer still plays them, but I'd still like to get the stock player running them if possible.
Am I the only one running sgs with froyo (JPO) that have problem with playing videos??
When running eclair I could run mkv 720p video with no lag whatsoever.
but now on froyo even simple mp4, xvids etc. lag.
it comes and goes on and off.
nothing big is running on the phone when watching.
I use my sgs for watching alot so almost thinking about going back to eclair.
I have oclf lag fix and using the build in video player (other player lag more)
hmmm no one having this issue??
I guess you did just upgrade to froyo from 2.1
If so you then have alot of old settings and data that will interfere and make the phone bad.
Sent from GT-I9000 jpo. My own kernel for z4mod and with 342MB Ram
i just upgraded to jpo froyo then factory reset then install voodoo lagfix and test for everything. i got same problem. it lags when playing avi files but just a sec for every 10 sec i think. same with my eclair jg4
i got tired waiting for asian firmware. i just upgraded 2 days ago hehehe
You also need to wipe the cache and format the internal sdcard.
Install all app manual. Don't use any old backup...
Try other lagfix to se if you get better result.

hmmm okay.
well I did a wipe off everything.
might have to try again and clear everything and then see.
I've upgraded to froyo too. Factory reset. MP4 recording to SD-card as well as phone is not very good. Lot's of stutter and a-synchronity in sound. Not only when played on phone but also when played back on pc. Both highest and second highest quality. #fail
experiencing around 0.5 second lag between audio and video, for both movie files and recorded video...its kind of weird, now all my music videos look retarded eclair didn't have this problem..hmm..
It's a problem that I've noticed since I first flashed a froyo firmware, XXJPK. JPM was about the same, but JPO is an improvement. It's still not silky smooth like it was in Eclair. Samsung have F***ed it up, and haven't fully fixed it yet. I think it'll be improved with newer firmware.
Oh, and what DamianGto was saying is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with restoring apps from Éclair.

There were a whole truck load of firmwares for Eclair, and hopefully the trend will continue. I think they will release a better performing 2.2 ROM in a few months time, after the Froyo roll-out is complete.
I've been with JPO before, never had video lag issues!

Yeah.. No. Everyone has the problem. Some people just haven't played the correct files and haven't come across it, or they just haven't noticed.
yeah, JPO here and I tried a mkv 720p the other day, ran smoothly. then a normal xvid avi...some minor lags 3-4 within a 1½ hour movie.
strange... and if I play the same movie again it does not lag the same place, so it's not the files itself.
come on samsung.... !!
Some has it some don't.
Most it depending on how fast your phone can read the file.
That's why it so different on different phones.

Yup im also getting it after upgrading to Froyo. Its annoying as hell as I have a 1hour trip to and from work and usually watch movies on public transport and the frequent stutter ruins it.
It seems like it's been improved upon in JPU
Started again on JPU
At first when i upgraded to JPU the stutter wasnt there at all.. But all of a sudden it started 10 times worse.
It now even stops the videos from playing, happens in all players.

Well it has to be an app you did install that caused this .
**Using my own JPU kernel, z4mod, 339MB Ram and ext2 filesystem**
i heard that playing the video from an external microSD card solves the problem, any truth to this? all my vids are on internal sd and i don't have an external card..
Hi all,
Has anyone seen a gb rom that plays or can be tweaked to play video past the 70min mark? This is a rather big thing for me, as I often take trips and like to watch movies on the plane.
I've been able to get CM6.1 and most 2.2 roms going with collin_ph's battery tweak that enables the stagefright audio. However, this doesn't seem to work with any gb rom I've tried:
CM7
aospCMod
OMGB
Deck
Evervolve
And I really like these gb roms...esp aospCMod!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
are you talking about your battery just dieing or it literally wont go past 70 minutes ive never had that issue when i was on the hero.
Are you talking about your screen freezing? Most gb roms (CM7 specifically) always had minor media issues for me. Music, videos, Pandora app etc. all freeze or skip after a while. Try using that new Wildheroc sense rom, I've had much better media performance from it versus CM7
Sent from my wildheroc using XDA Premium App
to fix the freezing just set your cpu to anything over 352 low.
This is the issue with videos over 70 mins where the video freezes and the sound keeps playing. After a while the video jumps back to about the 10-15 minute mark, but the sound is still off from where the video is.
It was discussed briefly in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864403 for a while starting at #14691, but I never saw a resolution.
This was fixed in 2.2 with the enable stagefright fix in collin_ph's battery tweak, and you could evidently do it manually by altering the stagefright line in build.prop, but when I looked at the build.prop on a couple of GB roms there was no line, and inserting a line brought no joy.
I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything, I've been searching for days and days and actually see very little on this issue. Guess not everyone watches full-length movies like me.

I actually had mine set at 352 ondemand, to help with the camera issues, but it never helped long video playback. Thanks though!

Yeah, I tried Wildheroc out for a while, but I just love the simplicity of Aosp and my LPP. I may try going back to sense though cause this is just that important to me. If I do, I may throw down on the v6 supercharger tweaks and see how that does.
Hey guys, ive got a rooted xperia tx running stock firmware, and im experiencing very choppy video performance. It can freeze for a second or so, even on non HD videos.
Im able to play 3D games quite well( NFS most wanted, asphalt 7), and i think even streaming video plays fine, but any video that ive stored on my phone plays really badly, even with MX video player( Both h/w and s/w decoding display this issue). Also, I've had this problem since ICS.

Try to clear Album thumnails

just delete the folder

EXACTLY what Yenkazu said was my suggestion, too
I experienced this issue when i was on .411, but with the .67 firmware, the issue has gone, update to .67, and even FLASH it, to see if it helps

backup your SD card, and everything, then perform a FULL FACTORY RESET, including Erasing Memory Card, maybe this helps optimizing the memory card and internal storage for JB, as i said, i had this problem, but after a factory reset it's ok now, there is nothing wrong with your device, it's powerful enough to play FullHD videos, let alone 720p
