I'd be grateful if a few folk could try the attached (very short) video clip on the Desire and tell me if the video and audio are in sync - watch the drumsticks!
This clip does not play in sync on the HD2, but it is perfect on a PC or a Touch HD so there's no reason for it to play out of sync and there must be some sort of flaw with the HD2. It doesn't seem to matter what player is used. Someone suggested it might be a Snapdragon chipset issue, hence the reason for my posting in the Desire forum.
Please let me know how it plays on the Desire - thank you.

The video really isn't long enough for me to tell properly whether it is in sync completely, even when watching the drumsticks. You need something more substantial to properly notice whether it is out of sync, not something that ends in 6 seconds.
It does look out of sync to me but as has been said, it's not really long enough to be sure.
Thanks for having a look - I appreciate your responses.
If that first video was too short then how about the following? It's a direct download from YouTube, no conversion on my part. Again it plays fine on the PC but is slightly out of sync on the HD2. The audio delay is small, and probably less noticeable than the original video, but it's definitely there, at least on my HD2. If he was just talking and not playing the drums you wouldn't notice it.
So is this also slightly out of sync on the Desire? If so, this is looking like it could be a Snapdragon chipset issue.
Second clip totally out of sync on my desire, haven't looked at the first.
Seems video on these things is not good at all.
Guys, i have to say I'm really worried about this issue. I super problem for me and for the device itself. I strongly suspect it's Snapdragon. This is why:
I have a huge video collection, being an iPhone and iTunes user. I have tried many formats before but today I have an optimized one - the Handbrake "Universal" profile is marvelous. It looks great for TV (using AppleTV or iPhone out), great on portable devices and size is good not to take much space. I can use these files in ANY device: PC, Mac, iPhone (even 2G), PSP, PS3, Zune HD, HTC Hero etc and all can play just fine, no issues at all. Perfect. Even some iTunes videos non-protected is also playable - encoded by Apple, not me.
But on the Desire, all of them has video/audio out of sync. Some more than others, but all of them. And to prove it's not the files, ALL youtube videos have same issue. Want another proof?
I used same files and tests on the XPERIA X10, also Snapdragon. Guess what? Out of sync. I don't want to believe, but adding to HD2, we have 3 different phones, 3 different OS (Android 1.6 on X10, 2.1 on Desire), 2 different manufacturers, ONE common chipset -Snapdragon - same problem.
I sincerely hope HTC can fix this with a software update (even if they have to add audio offset to video playback, I don't care), or else it will be the biggest flaw I've seen in a PERFECT device - the Desire is everything I ever wanted an iPhone to be. But it needs to simply play videos
I sent an email to HTC telling this whole story, if there is a reply I'll post. Crossing fingers, because if I have to return this phone I'll cry.
I emailed HTC about this issue several days ago and still not had a response.
Just noticed http://www.htc.com/uk/support.aspx no longer has a link to contact support by email or phone which was there about 3 hours ago when I checked. http://www.htc.com/europe/support.aspx support link is still available, just not on the uk site, only on the europe one, my mistake.
I`ve had lip sync problems when converting via handbrake, I`ve also tried a few other programs for converting and the lip sync problem went away. Have you tried red kawa for example?
But yes its strange that its fine on a pc and not on the desire.
Just got a reply from HTC re video/audio sync issues, looks like they are saying there is no problem.
Thank you for contacting our Customer Support Center. We are dedicated to providing you with the best quality service and answering all of your questions and concerns.
In regards to video sync playback, we can help you with that.
We performed a test in our HTC desire and there is no fault while playing the videos. This could be a software issue or bug in the OS and we recommend to perform a hard reset on it(make sure to back up all your data before the reset) if this doesn't work then contact us and we will book in your device to be repaired. HTC Desire with snapdragon processor was highly tested to play videos or and other functions from the OS.
I hope that this resolves your query and thank you for contacting HTC.

Got the same issue on my HTC Legend. Tried a bunch of different encoders, encoding settings, video players and videofiles - no difference. There is also a strange effect - if you watch a video and then rewind back a bit, it kinda starts looking in sync
And it's exactly the same situation with the built-in YouTube app.
BTW, if I remember correctly, Legend doesn't have Snapdragon.
What about hard reset? Have you actually tried it? Anyway, please inform if you find a solution.
Xperia X10 Delay
When I playback video on my computer that was recorded on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (SO-01B), there is a delay between audio and video of approximately 7 frames worth of NTSC video (the audo is delayed). (Note, I converted the MP4 files to avi files to identify the delay, the delay was present in the original MP4 and the converted avi.)
Further, I cannot get any drum or piano app to play without a noticeable delay. The screen graphics reflect my finger taps, but the corresponding sound is not played through the speakers until a short delay has passed. Seems like the processor cannot keep up?
Similar issues getting the camera to start or switching between video and still cameras. Or stuttering when Timescape or MediaScape launch.
This is my second device from DoCoMo. It appears to be a hardware issue. Very frustrating.
Anyone else having similar issues? This forum is the first I've come across with anything remotely similar to the issues I have experienced.

Hey all,
got my Omnia 7 the other day and so far its definitely made me drop my iPhone 4, even with all its apps.
that being said the audio is making me second guess that decision. Each track played, the last 10 seconds or so stutter. This is tracks on the actual device and not coming streaming zune marketplace.
This is every track and its more than annoying.
not sure if this is omnia specific or windows phone 7 OS issue.
anyways, besides that little hurdle im very happy with it so far, the omnia comes highly recommended from me besides a couple of bizzare hardware decisions. ( sync/charge port on the top of the device being a notable stupid decision.
hopefully someone can help but feel free to ask any other windows 7 phone / omnia based q's.
did you use zune to pull the iTunes music? maybe try ripping from a cd and then loading it to zune? maybe also try changing the quality of the audio up a bit and get it to reconvert? worst comes to worst... try a hard reset?

the music is a mix of ripped cd's and music bought using a zune pass direct from Zune, I can't see it being the source material. More the player at fault.
I will try a hard reset when im at home and can back everything up.
Thanks for your answers.
hi
i have a htc 7 mozart and have a little problem with sounds as well. more often than not when i get a text come through its like the sound stutters for about 1/2 second then carries on and may play a couple of notes. i contacted htc and they said and i quote "try changing the tone. if the phone still sounds like its juddering/skipping. there maybe an issue. but it could just be the way the tone works. "
Now this has done nothing at all but i cant see there is a hardware fault as its only when a sms comes in that is the problem.
the only issue i have is a small pause at the end of each track, after the brilliance of the zune hd (whoever stole it should burn) i expected more esp as they said it was full zune experiences yet there is also no artist bio (i used to love reading them)

the gapless playing is an issue but not a massive one for me.
losing bio and in particular "similar artists" is really annoying, was a great way to find artists you hadnt previously heard of.
this stuttering is starting to annoy me, pulling the battery and restarting seemed to have resolved the issue but then every now and again it will happen.
I'm looking at an artist bio on my phone right now. When you select an artist, the "tabs" should be albums -> songs -> bio. Perhaps its just there because I am using a Zune Pass trial?
Searched but couldnt find anything except SE said that the video recording issues will be fixed in 2.3.3. So can anyone confirm they were fixed (freeze,stutter, audio sync etc.) Thank you
The video stutter issue was found when I was using an old class 2 micro SD card on 2.3.2. After I have changed to use a class 10 card from Transcend, the Burroughs recording issue wad not found (before update to 2.3.3), see if I have time to test back the previous slow card on my updated 2.3.3. But anyway I suggest you get a class 10 card since the system use the SD card heavily for storing application data, this will improve the system performance, especially the gallery appear, and seems pretty much everything.

hopefully it works..
I never experienced this in 2.3.2 but maybe because i changed to 16gb class 6 right after purchase
Confirmed as fixed, I have taken multiple videos with 2.3.3 and no glitches. with 2.3.2 I did have some.
i have not recorded much before 2.3.2, but made some recordings post 2.3.3 and no issues at all.
rumnyc, bustervic,
What is the class of card you use?

I thing class of card is not important in this moment because whatever card rumnyc used on Android 2.3.2 he had problems with recorded video and after update on Android 2.3.3 he don't have any problems. For me this issue is fixed. Personaly i didn't have any problems on Android 2.3.2 with recorded video.
So far I have not encountered any problems, have recorded 3 X 10min clips and have not seen or noticed any undue pausing as I did originally before updating to 2.3.3. Iam still using original 8Gb card that was supplied in retail package.

Poor playback of recorded video ??
Rather than start another thread on poor video recording I thought I'd ask for some help here. I have read all the XDA threads I could find on the problems of video recording but still don't understand where the Arc is at on this particular problem. I do have the 2.3.3 update (flashed UK O2 .145 firmware) - everything on the phone works great for me, except this problem.
Yesterday, I tried out video recording and while I was actually doing the recording I was very impressed. I was filming in a massive indoor barn where my kids were jumping during a horse riding lesson, so lots of movement and a little bit of moving the camera around in the video.
I liked the fact that I could see on the screen that the lens picked up most of the width of the barn, so I had to do little moving left and right with the camera. I got used to where the lens is positioned so didn't have any problems putting my finger in the way.
I watched the videos back on the phone straight afterwards - looked great. I was really pleased with the whole taking a video experience.
BUT, the problem is that when I transferred the videos on to my computer and tried to watch them, they are incredibly jumpy, lots of missed frames and jerkiness - nothing like playback on the Arc. Basically, they are unwatchable. I played them back in lots of different media players - all the same.
I recorded in HD, with and without image stabilisation, everything was really quick on the phone such as starting each recording, and the film was almost immediately available to watch once the recording had ended (something that even my old digital cameras couldn't do so quickly. I am only using a Class 2 Sandisk card but I don't see that can be the problem.
Please, if anyone can suggest a fix or explain what the situation is - I didn't even know there were recording issues on the Arc until I read that they were fixed with 2.3.3 (and thats what I have on the phone).
Thanks

Look Frenchdroid,dont worry u r are is prefectly fine as far as i know
u r camera is perfectly fine
they problem lies in your computer or lappy
i thnk your computer graphic card or hardware is not capable of playing 720p(HD ready) or 1020p(full HD) videos,thats why u r experiencing this problem of dropping frames and installing media players or updating codecs wont solve this problem but upgrading your computer hardware may do the trick...........
IF my post helped you use thanks button....
Hey - thanks for your reply. You know what ? You were right. I feel like an idiot but hey, at least I'm a bit wiser now I'm not used to all of these video formats and stuff like this.
do not worry we at xda , are like a family,always ready to help each other......
Hi,
Since upgrading via OTA to 4.0.4, I have noticed that bluetooth audio is terribly delayed - by up to second or so. This makes watching films over bluetooth very offputting to say the least, and the same for playing games.
This does appear to be new to 4.0.4 - since updating I hadn't used my headset for a bit, so have only just noticed it, but I have tested with a game I used extensively (Dead Space) that pre-update was fine, and now appears to suffer considerable delay. I have tested via two different bluetooth audio systems too.
I have not yet tried a factory reset - is this the next step, or have others noticed the issue despite this? Has anyone else noticed this issue at all?
As a follow up to this, a factory reset hasn't helped.
Curiously, youtube vids seem ok, but nothing else...
It depends I have to laptops when I connect to one there seems to be a delay. On the other one the delay is barely noticeable.. it depends really
Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3
Ok, just to add to the confusion, YouTube vids are fine, but games/DVD rips aren't.
I'm now wondering if this is a load-related issue?
Ok, still more information;
Whan playing a video using MXPlayer, if I use H/W decode, everything is fine. As soon as I switch to S/W decode I get the delay.
I have also tested in GTA3, Dead Space and SpeedX 3D, all of which worked fine prior to 4.0.4, and all of which now have an audio lag.
This is almost certainly an issue with 4.0.4 as a friend has just upgraded his Xoom to 4.0.4 and now has the exact same behaviour I do.
As such, I can't imagine this will get a quick fix, but I do want to raise awareness of the issue.
Same here
Does sound like a 4.0 problem.
I have been getting the same thing since upgrading my Sony Tablet.
Hi all,
I've just recently purchase a Surface RT, am still getting use to Win RT environment.
There is a slight issue, is there anyway to fix the audio lag issue?
I've tried playing 1080p videos, 720p videos (WMV, MKV, MP4) without any lag using mobile.HD. But when I switched on the subs, the audio lags behind for 5, 6 seconds. I've used the performance tips given by the Internet (disable windefender, disable animations, and stuff), nothing seems to be working.
Anyone has the same problem? Or ways to solve it?
Sounds like an app problem more than anything else. I've never tried, so I can't suggest anything better, but it's been a common discussion thread here.
I've gone through any available thread on the internet with regards to the issue, seems that no one has replied to this particular issue. I've tried many players, none of them works without the audio lag. Guess will have to wait till VLC is released.
On the plus side, that *is* coming, sometime... so there will be that, at least.
How is the Netflix playback on this unit? Does it have 1080p playback like the Nexus 7? Any sync issues with sound? Does it look great?
I'm asking this as I recently bought the Xperia Tablet Z and it has quite possibly the worst Netflix playback I've ever seen, especially for such a high end unit. My Nexus 7 or even my older IPad are miles better. It looks like I will be returning the Sony and perhaps ordering one of these.
Any other Netflix junkies here?

Cant get the sound and video to sync. Varies from right on, to half a sec lag or lead of sound throughout the movie. Very disappointing and annoying at the same time. Posted asking if anyone else had this issue but no replies...
This is true even after todays last OTA update. The video looks great - not sure about the resolution
I've had it intermittently. once when starting the office and then when playing Hatfield and McCoy's. exiting out each movie and restarting fixed it most of the time and other times just made it better but not perfect.the last two test just a few minutes ago played perfectly. I did install the latest ota yesterday so it could be that fixed it.
and for the op I can't say much about 1080p Netflix since I've lowered the stream in my prefs. my daughter plays Netflix all day and the highest throughput we can get out here is 6Mbps on a 150Gb limit. the week I gave my daughter her opacity a few Christmases ago she nearly used up all our bandwidth in 1 week!
1080p local videos are beautiful though!
I'm on the newest update and just tried The Avengers. Video quality is great (looks 1080 to me), sound syncs fine, but I did notice the video flickering a little within the first few minutes. Didn't appear for the rest of the movie.

Im also on the newest build, and i just added two movies avengers and transformers in HD to my queue, and played them and they seem to be working flawlessly, the sound is synced perfectly, no lag between movie and soundtrack. Quite pleased working better than the iPad. Lol
Can also verify - newest build. Netflix is working flawlessly. Extremely happy with the playback right now

After playing around with Netflix I realized that when I plug in the headphones (wired), the audio/video playback is flawless i.e. no sync issues. When I connect my Bluetooth stereo headset (LG tone) the I am having terrible audio/video sync problems. Don't know if it's a problem with this specific Bluetooth headset or a problem in general with the Bluetooth of the tablet. I will try other Bluetooth headsets to verify.
Im sorry if im reviving an old post but i need to know this ..
im about to buy this tablet and i love watching netflix.. Does the app Has HD playback ? Pleasee answer is the app working now?

This is a common issue with Bluetooth wireless speakers. I heard them talking about it on a Twit podcast recently. Try connecting via a wire and see if the problem goes away.

Every device I have lags on Bluetooth. You can't tell just playing audio (music) but with video the latency is apparent. The note works exactly the same.
Good to see this has good Netflix hope it's 1080p will be getting mines in a few days.
