Hi, this is David. I have the optimus 4x, and i have to admit that it's one of the best devices i've owned so far, i've just been wondering about a few issues that shouldn't exist with a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. I will list them here and wish anyone could help.
1- The Camera
Not the video focusing issue which is fixed after the V10e update, now it's photos turn. When i open the camera, everything looks sharp and great, but it's not after capturing the photo because when i look at the photo in the gallery, it's somehow out of focus and the picture looks ugly overall. I've tried resetting the camera settings and tried other camera apps but no difference.
2-Game lags
That's something i saw people talking about and they said that these games aren't optimized for Tegra 3 because it was new in the market. So now why they're still lagging, even very basic games like subway surfers.
3-Incoming call screen lag
This screen is represented in two ring buttons (accept or reject) with waves coming out of them, i have to say this screen is very laggy so i can't just swipe my finger to accept the call but i have to do it slowly and wait a second before it's done of accepting the call.
4-Youtube
Sometimes a video lags once or twice in a 5 mins video which doesn't happen when watching other videos in gallery.
Yes, i know that's too much issues but what makes me confused is the device's overall speed when browsing the web and others... Even the benchmarks are showing excellent scores that sometimes beat the HTC one X. So what could be the problem?!
2. - on my , lags also Tegra optimized games ... so LG FW suck ... wait for JB, and after that (if stock dont fix it) come CM
Odd... I've had two different Call screens. One was with the circles to swipe like the S2/S3, the other was with square buttons to tap. Don't remeber in what app I was when the screen changed tho.
I've never noticed the lag in the incoming call screen, or maybe I didn't bother with it. As for YouTube it naever game me issues.

one is when you recieve a call while device is locked (the swype one), the other one is when you recieve the call when it's unlocked (button one)
i have no lag on youtube, gaming is great with a slowdown now-and-then (NFS MW, for example. Vice City played with no lag at all), and camera is as good as any smartphone, even though i didn't quite test it as mmuch as i should've.

Oh I see, I got the button call once when I was messing around with my phone (First day I got it).
Vice City gives me no issues whatsoever, no lag at all just a short audio pause once in a while but hadly noticeble.
NFS works well IF there are only 2-3 card rendered on-screen, otherwise the framerate just drops. I believe it's the reflections... if there would be a way to disable them on other cars and keep them on yours the game would run smooth. Funny how the lag itself gives me a warning.. if framerate drops be sure there's a roadblock ahead.
All the other games I've played so far are smooth (Asphalt 7, NOVA 3, Shadowgun.)
As for the camera, I haven't really tried it. I'm not the photo-taker kind of guy.

These 3 games you mentioned are laggy with me, the framerate drops alot which makes the games almost unplayable...

I don't know what's wrong with your phone. It's rather odd.
I'm on Stock ICS with v10h (no flashes, no root, I have the phone as I recieved it). I'm halfway trought Asphalt 7 same as for Vice City.
NOVA 3 gave some lag issues on the first level then it stopped. Shadowgun (Specially the second one, the multiplayer) gave me no lag at all, everything is fine.
The one thing that bugs me about the phone currently is the poor battery life. Think that if you have 2150 mAh your battery would last, but nope. It's the poor LG software and bloadware that sucks it up, I might root my phone once JB rools out to get rid of some useless services.

When the video driver is released, (if there even is one) does that mean its going to fix all of these?
-Keyboard lag
-Touchscreen lag
-Camera lag
-Video lag
-Phone freezing
-Battery life quickly dieing
-Landscape to portrait ... and other way around..faster..
Just wondering..
Thanks
No proof on most... but keybaord lag.... not likely!!
Try turning off the auto-correct or auto-insert / guess thingy. (or change it to 4-6 letters before it guesses the word you want!)
the other fixes will depend what you already have done (ie there is a newer camera app on here, if you dont have it - it might resolve your camera problems etc etc).
I cant see it fixing the touchscreen lag - unless the device is busy drawing pcitures for you whcih is why its slow to respond.
Phone freezing.... could be so many things!! who knows
Video lag - possibly, maybe even probably. but it depends on why the lag is occuring, and in what sense you mean video lag (call, record, playback etc etc). Apparently there is a problem with the main camera in video mode in poor light situations, however the front camera doesn't have the same problems (although equally doesn't have the same output)
Bat life... god knows! what are you doing? all movie playback? quite probably! All standby with no screen on, just waiting for your mum to call once a week? then not very likely!
screen switching - almost certainly!
Really, it will depend entirely on what you use your phone for, and what you have done to your phone to start with (or what else you do at the same time as any dirver install)
Will a quad sli gfx setup make my computer display look better? Depends entirely! if i run in a CLI - then no!
I am going to purchase this but can anyone give me the lowdown on this.
I am a diehard android fan and own every tmobile device, are all functions working on this device?
I mean the important stuff, wifi, browser, games, g-sensor, 3d games?
I was going to get an archos 70 but this looks way cooler and customizable.
Please let me know.
Wifi works fine. I can connect to my home network just fine. Also works connecting to my Samsung Vibrant's mobile AP wifi.
Browsing work. Stock browser is a very sluggish experience. I'm using Dolphin and still find it to be a slower experience than on my Vibrant phone. Wish it was faster. But it's acceptable performance.
G-sensor seems to be working fine. Was playing Raging Thunder and it worked great.
However there is an issue with some games. They will not play at full screen resolution and seem to run in a smaller 4:3 aspect ratio (looks like 600x800) with black borders on the side.
I haven't tried a lot of games. Angry Birds (both) and Paper Toss work in full screen. Solitaire, Raging Thunder don't work at full screen.
But the performance of the games seems good so far.
To me, Dolphin HD (along with the rest of the system) is plenty fast with SetCPU running min 600/max 800 ondemand.
Really, there have been surprisingly few things I've come across that I haven't been able to do-- even without a custom ROM/kernel. I couldn't be happier with this--and development has really just started (I'm sure some brilliant devs found one under their tree today).
If you're looking for a solitaire game, Klondike Solitaire is a full screen app.

If you install spare parts and uncheck compatibility mode. A lot of games and apps become full screen.

The problem for some of those games then becomes the graphics are full screen but the touch-UI isn't. So, you have to click above or below the on-screen buttons to hit them. I've also seen a game (Hungry Shark) where the in-game locations no longer correspond to the graphical locations (the shark thought the water's surface was well below where it really was, so he couldn't get up to the actual surface, like he was hitting an invisible wall).
Hopefully these apps will be updated for tablet resolutions soon.
IDK if someone have noticed that in the new released version when you touch or make an action it takes some milliseconds to react and do it.... For example if I am playing jetpack joyride I'd I touch the screen to make it fly it registers it half second later... I didn't had this problem in 4.1.2 and it's starting to kinda annoy me I went to developers settings to see of it was detecting my touch at the moment and it does record it exactly at the moment but it takes that milisecond or less to react and make my action

I've noticed a whole range of problems with 4.2
I have noticed your's.
Noticed lots of lag around the homescreens and app draws.
Alot slower than 4.1.2 and thats even with a custom kernel.
So yeah. 4.2 is too much eye candy not enough speed/smoothness!
Greetings XDA users! As you can see, this is my first post on this forum. I have registered here in order to get some answers from other users of the HTC One concerning some problems that I have experienced. I have been using the device since more than a week now, and these are the issues I've come across so far, so please let me know which ones of these you are experiencing as well:
1. YouTube audio / video out of sync
I noticed this the first time I used YouTube on my HTC One. Lip sync simply looked horrible while watching some videos. To test if you have this issue as well, you should try something like this video where it can clearly be seen in action: Link (Since I cannot post links due to below 10 post count, simply search YouTube for "BBC HD audio sync test")
2. Simple games lag / do not play smoothly
The first game I tried on my HTC One was Doodle Jump. It's a very simple game, and before purchasing the One, I have read about other recent HTC smartphones having problems with such simple games because some HTC devices don't know how to properly use their GPU/CPU in situations where games don't have high demands. If this is still the case with the HTC One, and not just some issue with my own, it is simply unacceptable. After all, a new flagship smartphone should not have any issues when playing the most simple of games that any old android smartphone can do perfectly.
Note: I have already tried to cure both of these problems by doing it with / without power savings enabled. I have also tried with / without Beats, Bluetooth, NFC and so on. Nothing helps.
Please let me know if you are experiencing these two issues on your HTC One as well.
Other issues and annoyances I have noticed, that come to mind right now:
3. Blinkfeed share bar at the bottom of the screen is very annoying, and apparently can't be removed at all. It's doubly annoying because sometimes you can hit this bar when trying to use the back button.
4. 3-dot-menu bar at the bottom of the screen in some apps. There even used to be a built-in feature in the setting menu to get rid of this, but HTC seems to have removed this in the final software versions, for questionable reasons.
5. Video camera settings such as 60-FPS-HD or slow motion keep resetting themselves each time the screen gets locked and go back to "Normal".
6. Audio issues (cracks / pops) when using YouTube (maybe other apps as well). This happens especially often with Beats turned on, but I have also heard it happening with Beats off.
7. Odd volume jump that happens around 80% volume when increasing volume while streaming music via Bluetooth. (Volume actually goes down instead of up, and the next step after this sounds much louder than just 2 "clicks" more.)
8. Wifi reception gets a lot worse when covering the upper side of the device with my hand. And by covering I mean holding it normally in landscape orientation, I'm not intentionally trying to smother the signal. This is quite noticeable in areas where the signal is not that strong to begin with, as I've experienced multiple times that I've choked my wifi signal by simply holding it that way to watch some YouTube videos. The wifi bar can jump from 2-3 bars to just the dot by doing this.
I am rather disappointed to see this thread buried on page 3 already without any replies at all. All I asked for is a simple yes-or-no answer if your device also exhibits un-synchronous YouTube playback and/or unsmooth Doodle Jump gameplay.
So I guess this either means that I am the only one experiencing these problems and should promptly return my phone to get a properly working One, or it means people here simply do not notice these problems or accept to overlook them.
(By the way, the Bluetooth volume oddity seems to have been a randomly caused bug, as it was working fine again this afternoon)
I'm having the same issue with YouTube. It's basically unusable, the sound and lip sync gets progressively worse. Tried wiping the app data, re-installing YouTube, disabling Beats. Still no luck, this is the only beef I have with an otherwise excellent bit of tech. I tried the test videos and it looked spot on.
If I watch the same videos on my Asus Infinity there is no problem, so it's definitely the phone. I'm pretty much out of ideas.
YouTube audio / video out of sync
is indeed very horrible.....
ive never experienced anything like that, are you guys running stock rom?
For me, it's everything BUT YouTube. Games, apps, anything, there's about a 1/4 second delay between the on-screen action and when I hear the accompanying sound. Audio sync is one of my pet peeves, so this drives me absolutely crazy. I can only assume there's some kind of processing going on with the audio that's causing it, but damned if I can figure out what it is. The only audio switch I've seen to turn stuff on and off is Beats, and that has no effect on the latency.
I'm running stock ROM. Friend of mine with a ROMd unit says his doesn't do it.
I'm also having issues with the YouTube...

Hello, friends
I heard about all the complaints about the touch issues on this phone, so i went and try that touch scree test
Turns out, during the test, the phone records input that i didn't made, but, for my surprise, out of the test in real use, i never got any ghost touching any zoom problems, scroll problems, nothing.
I have the phone for more than a month now. EU snapdragon version, fully UNLOCKED (6GB/128)
I even try to make the ghost touching happen in real use, scrolling just like i did in the test app i tried it on youtube; instagram; reddit; youtube music; play store; on the samsung news feed, etc...
Does anyone also had a positive test, but didn't had any real issues?
Thanks
video of some guy about the problem:
I also had a positive test, but I didn't have any real problems or at least I didn't notice them!

Weird right?
Gives me mixed feelings about it,because the problems that are being reported are impossible to note notice if you or me had them
It's like a fake positive in a COVID-19 test XD
Looks like the latest firmware update has fixed the problem.
S20 FE Touchscreen Issue Thread : Galaxy_S20 (reddit.com)
This is a problem for people who play games like pubg mobile. The top left corner which is on left of camera for me the problem lies there. While keeping 2 fingers on screen and pressing with the 3rd finger on top left side of screen will result in a double tap instead of single most of the time
