Does anyone ever encounter the phone become very laggy and choppy after using the youtube app? Its like the phone used to run buttery smooth at 60 fps then drops to 30 fps. Can feel the choppiness in homescreen switching, browser and everywhere. Restart the phone and it goes back to normal. Can someone please test if you get this after playing a few youtube videos in HQ?
I just watched an 8 minute HQ video using the youtube app. And saw no loss in performance after returning to home.

I've found the same thing but not after YouTube. it seems to happen randomly but its easy to tell when by looking at the speed of the lock animation. Hopefully the reliability will get better with ICS.

Yes it happens sometimes after playing a dowmloaded video as well. Somehow it seems the display switched refresh rate to 30hz and forgot to switch back. Glad i am not the only one having this.

You mean that gives you the problem? Or it returns the phone to normal?

Just a quick update. I dont get this random lag problem anymore after doing a factory reset. Just tried lots of youtube and videos and the phone always returns to 60 frames per second once out of the application.

Hi i just got the sensation XL for 2 days and i noticed that it plays HD video (1280x720) with a choppy frame rate, can anyone check and help me with this issue ? i tried to factory reset and format the phone but no luck. Their 2 demo videos on the phone plays perfectly though.
Proably because they are encoded that way,, ill try some HD stuff tonight and see what happens
hi, i've played those on my Sensation and Sensation XE and they played perfectly fine. I downloaded those from youtube. Videos and images captured from my XL is also fine.
I tried different programs like mobo players or quicpic but still no luck.
Plz let me know if u notice any choppy frame rate or poor performance. Thanks!
I just downloaded BBC One HD - The Great Melt.
It looked stunning.
I've also download a few music videos in HD and they too are fantastic.

If you still need to view such videos which are crappy in playback ...try MX Video Player from Market and use S/W encoder ... might give better performance than H/W in such cases

i'm not saying it doesnt look stunning, but notice the frame rate of the video, especially when there's a camera span or high action , u can notice it's not smooth at all.
I just tried to play some HD videos with my friend's Sensation XL and still got the same crappy performance. U might not notice it at first but if u see some action trailer , it gets annoying.
The answer is actually quite obvious: The SOC in your Sensation XL is Snapdragon S2 with Adreno 205, which can only handle up to 720p videos with hardware acceleration, regardless of codec and video players. If you want HD videos, you should buy either galaxy S2 with Mali-400MP or Sensation (XE as well) with Adreno 220. There is no way you can play 1080p with your Sensation XL, since it is a hardware limitation.

Some of the shots are lacky but that's because I was recording in high res. It's super smooth.
Wow! Camera seemed a little bit buggy: despite it took photos, the screen was all dark. Maybe a problem with the recording app.

Just installed myself and first impressions are that its pretty good, but you do get the feeling that its not finished yet. Just tried installing Fancy Widgets and it wont detect my position for weather, GPS doesn't seem to connect, could be just me that one though. There is only market installed, no other Google apps.
Its pretty smooth though on window transitions etc no noticeable lag... Just run it through quadrant and got 2276
Camera only shows up as 3mp but video seems to show up at 720p all seems to work though, phone calls and messaging all work ok.
Edit: MMS doesn't seem to work, just FC's once you try

I tried it on a broken beats Rom - Joelz TwoPointThree 3.5.
It flashed, the boot initially took a little longer but I went to try it and no sound. Should I try a different player instead of stock or a different Rom? I was thinking of switching to ICS momentarily because Newts 3.5 has gone broken on me.

Just flashed this on a new flash of the official CM 7.1. I haven't had any trouble with music playing or clipping. Just pure sound. Albeit I did not do a comparison so I cannot say if I hear a difference in quality but I am happy with it and will continue to flash it.
What is really Beats by Dre? Sorry

Joelz new 3.5 had a broken beats file allowing it to not work. Now I switched to cm7, listened to the music first. Very shotty headphones (ifrogz) as my latest earphones died on me.
The sound was eh.. flashed this beats zip and came back to hear it, the clarity and quality increased so much. Should note there is a tolerable difference when not using headphones as your speaker phone may actually sound like bass. Well at least I can gear it, I will try it on Joelz 3.5 again. Cause there is no notification or anything say it works its difficult to pinpoint if it only works on stock players or various ones.
I am hopefully getting new earphones tonight, JVC Xtreme Explosives is what I'm looking at.

It really does make quite a bit of a difference. For you guys trying it out, use nicer headphones. The difference is marginal on $15 skullcandy buds, but on high end speakers, it's really noticeable. Definitely worth the flash.

May i send to my ladies phone, sir? I have tested side by side with same phone using same ROMs (CM7 newest nightly) using 115 by Treyarch (yes the Black Ops zombie song) and quite a noticeable difference. Also not sure, but I had tested started with volume at 50% and my phone with the zip was louder by 2 notches (decreased volume to regulate) and her phone at 100% was to mine at 80%. I do not use DSP manager as I get a weird noise from it after any sound from speaker ends. Anyone else experience similar volume performance?

This happens to me all the time with you tube. I only get it if I use wifi with hd on. If I turn off hd then it goes away. Also, if I turn beats audio off with hd on over wifi then it happens much less but still happens. It's very annoying, haven't figured out if it is a hardware issue yet.
Yeah I disable beats and the popping went away, stupid codecs.

Actually after uh couple weeks couple more weeks about using this thing I've noticed it does happen with or without Beats Audio on and it does happen with or without the additional equalizer that I've added to it so it is not just a codec issue with Beats Audio or with the equalizer however I do notice that happens randomly it doesn't always happen on the same song in SoundCloud or in YouTube um but it just happens and I'm not sure what causes it yet
And I'm actually pretty surprised that nobody else has this issue yet

If you look back a few pages, you'll notice I posted a thread about a similar issue with Google Play Music (although it has since come to my attention that it's an issue with most audio apps). Toggling Beats helps, but not for too long (and not for long enough to rule out the placebo effect). It's quite annoying, and I hope it'll be fixed in an OTA sometime. I may try PureAudioX if it keeps up though-- it makes my phone unusable at times as a music player.
I'm having this issue where the volume drops during song changes, or during quiet parts in a video. I'm fairly certain this is a known problem, but just wondering if anyone has found a fix.
I've tried different music players, different video players, different headphones, even a headphone amp and the problem persists. currently running P.A.C v3.0 but the problem was present also on TrickDroid v7.5

I think this happens in all phones, ipods, iphones and music players as what outputs high volume comes from audio file from the song or movie. There are programs in the internet the makes the audio files louder in a song or a movie. The problem is not the phone or roms. As any phone, it can't output high volume if the volume level in the audio file in a song isn't put to high levels of volume.
I agree with the op. I've got both the HTC One and the N4. The problem he's describing is present in the one but not the N4, same exact audio sources.

Maybe but I have experienced the same thing on all devices I have used for music. I think it depends on the songs but I might be wrong.
I can also confirm that this issue has been persistent on my One. Something that had never happened to my One XL, Nexus nor Desire. Not liking this at all!
Sent from my HTC One
I've never had it happen on anything except my One. On the stock ROM, it's fine, but any AOSP ROM (and I've flashed a lot of them) gives me this issue anytime I use headphones.
I can confirm this as well. Stock ROM seems OK but AOSP and cm based ROM have this problem
Bump!

I think HTC made the phone to lower the volume when the volume is way too high so you won't go deaf. An annoying "feature" that HTC has implemented in the phone.
Just an update on this. the CM nightly for today (6/20) contains a bunch of audio merges which hopefully will fix the audio fading issue. I'll report back when its available for download and I flash it

Help audio volume drops
I am currently using the Avatar rom and have been experiencing the exact same problem. The volume will go down in music, audio books, and even on the phone. The problem is not consistent and has been driving me crazy ever since I installed this rom. I love the ROM and can't picture living without it. I can't figure out what exactly it is causing the issue, but if anybody has found a solution, I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance.
Has anyone tried flashing beats back onto their phone to see if that does anything?
Update- installed beats audio. It unfortunately didn't fix the problem.

Try updating your firmware to 2.24 and turn off Beats. This solved it. Although now I use higher volume to match what I had before with Beats turned on, the sound quality and bass is nearly equal or even better.
