[Q] 5 minute record limit - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that devices that can record UHD and up will limit the record length to 5 minutes. The main reason that im reading is because of heat. My sisters S5 did get hot after a few minutea of UHD recording but my note 4 doeant get nearly as hot. In fact i cant tell the difference between full HD and UHD when it comes to heat.
I was reading the other thread that it is not a good idea to remove the limit. Well back then we were talking about Snapdragon 800 and 801. Wouldnt the 805 be able to do the same task with less heat?
I actually do have a Cinema 4K T.V and want to record longer bits of video such as my kids sports and other school activities. What do you guys think... good idea or bad idea?
I assume rooting is required to remove that limit.

[Q] MHL jerky framerates?

Hello,
I have gotten this MHL adapter for my Note 2 about 2 weeks ago and it works decently. The problem I have noticed is that when I play GTA 3 or GTA Vice City is that the framerates seem a bit jerky to me. Im not sure if its just me or if its the mhl or if anyone else has this problem. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009MJ58OI/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
Dear X-dude,
Same here...
No problem with videos or other apps but games have less framerates when using mhl... I am not satisfied with the performance of game playing using mhl and sixaxis controller on TV Screen... Couldnt find a solution till now... I had same problem with Note1 also...
Kind regards...
Sent from my Amiga Note
MHL is not 'up to par' when playing video games, the fps just can't keep up. Playing videos though will work excellent! I use my N2 all the time to stream and play videos and music on my HDTV, looks and sounds amazing! Video games...not so good....
its not the MHL that is the problem.
the problem is the fact that the device is running in mirror mode. if you're running the TV at 720p as well as the phone at 720p, that means that the GPU now has to render twice as many pixels (ie. 1843200 pixels instead of 921600 pixels). it only gets worse if you run 1080p as it will have to render a little over three times as many pixels. doing that is far too demanding for our overclocked mali400 GPU, which is one of the reasons why it lags.
basically, the only device available at the moment that would have reasonable framerates in mirror mode based on GPU power alone would be the ipad 4th gen. i personally dont like ipads, but hardware wise, they do have a beefy GPU. the adreno 320 can keep up well enough, but isnt quite as quick as the powervr chip.
the malit604 might be able to do it if samsung can optimise the driver if they use it in the s4 next year, but at the moment, the performance of the mali 604 isnt much faster than the adreno 320.

That doesn't make any sense.
Mirroring in that case = Output twice what GPU rendered once. Mirroring isn't involving any extra work to GPU, (not sure about 1080p output, but i guess that all rendered in 1080p instead of 720p then downscales to fit the screen of device, performance-wise its only a tiny amount worse than having 1080p screen on device). But any output (and MHL is included) has latency, when you output videos it is not noticeably because you don't interact with videos, but when playing dynamic game you'll start to notice lag between interaction and game react to it.
It is only applicable to Mirror output, extended screen surely will take part of GPU perfomance, but not half of that - it is depending on what you doing. 3D games is involving much more computing than several layers of 2D in android interface or media player.
Need some technically adequate investigation on FPS drop and MHL latency

Interesting. So there isnt much to do then to increase framerates on games?
Not sure where I read this at, but I was sure to have came across someone saying that the 1080p output is only at 30hz.

I also heard something about that and does the 30hz cause dropped frames? Also im pretty sure my mhl outputs at 1080i and not 1080p which makes a difference?
1080i is the culprit.

Souai is right. If you would like a demonstration, do the following. Install the Electopia game/benchmark. When you start the app you will be asked if you want to run it in WVGA resolution or full screen. Try WVGA first. On the next screen choose 'benchmark' mode. Let it run then note what FPS you scored. Next run the benchmark again in full screen mode and note the (lower) FPS. Next, plug your phone into your tv using MHL and run both benchmarks again and note the lower FPS scores.....see? When plugged into a tv via MHL it is having to work much harder.

Video Size

Hello guys i want to know why...?
I can download movies that are 720p with great quality like 600mb or less..
Why Android record videos maybe in 720p like 10 seconds and it have 150mb +/-
Mayba 10 seconds be 5mb? O less?

it has to do with the compression rates of the videos.
Some people think the 720p at 600mb are horrible quality but on the phones they look decent, since the screens are smaller, its hard to tell, but but on the bigger screens, not that great.
It just varies on the codec/compression/fps
Yea but as i said, movies 720p in TV or atleast 1080p not exceeds 1GB, and 1GB is like 5 minutes in phone. There is a way to change it?
A bluray movie in 1080p is in excess of 10GB for the video alone. Just because you can pirate heavily compressed videos around the 1GB mark doesn't mean this is the prime quality.
The phone will try to take the best quality video capture that the memory and CPU can handle. That's why you have such large sizes. You're supposed to export them to PC and then compress into whatever format you require.

Get it or no

Well im just asking if i should get it or no.
I want to replace my laptop with it and a small keyboard. 10.5 LTE with Supposatly the Samsung exynos that is a 8 core but seem it not in reality like samsung lied
I want to hear the good and bad.
:laugh:
EDIT : Hello bonami2 , I posted the reply below before i realized it was you from NBR Forum, Welcome to XDA
It depends on what you want to do, if you want to watch video`s most of the time, get it, it has an amazing display, if you want to browse the internet most of the time, dont get it as the oled display eats the battery when it shows white, you are better of getting an lcd tablet, gaming kills the battery on all tablets so it does not make that much difference between oled and lcd.
You can get browsers that have night mode, where white is black so it save a load of battery power but it looks like crap.
John.
Don't get it. Poor battery life in general. Horrible idle battery life with Lollipop. The CPU is outdated by now. If you have to get a large screen tablet right now, go with Ipad Air 2 or Google Nexus 9. Moreover, we're slowly approaching the holiday season. Normally all new products are released in the second half of year. Even Samsung's Tab S replacement is rumored to be arriving in the second half of this year.

The new cpu for the tab s2 is supposate to be only 50% better in singlethread. and Enable the hmp to use the 8 core and have a higher clock and new architecture.
But at the end my 4 old Galaxy nexus from samsung from like 2011 2012 is still able to browse website with it old crappy dual core ahah. with 1/6 the singlethread
Poor battery life well i seen 15 hour of movie time with black movie. Using Dolphin and A night mode should allow to have better battery.
Not interrested in any apple product even if i was forced to.
At the end there is nothing on the market that seem worth the money. Except the tab s and i do know how to save battery with the recent research and own experience with my old Amoled phone.
So im gonna try it and return it if im not happy
And put the money toward some gpu
Anyways im getting it mid july and i heard it could be released in that time frame. Will see.
Thank you for all the negative
I have no problem with battery usage. It lasts a long time for me.
Tablet design is one of the best, the screen is fantastic. No issues with lag in normal day to day usage.
Websites with heavy usage of ads and graphics, can exhibit a little lag, but nothing out of the ordinary or that bothers me.
Sound quality is great. Touchwiz isn't the best implementation of an interface, not compared to HTC sense on my M8. However all in all quite happy with it.
And yea it me from nbr decided to post in case i could learn other stuff Google is good but we never have enough info
Thank you

Tested something with my nexus 5
Chrome is laggy when moving page the finger move faster than the browser
Dolphin go as fast as my finger can go on the screen and doest lagg at all or almost. Sure heavy page are slow to load.
Im mostly interrested in the multitasking thing samsung made i tried it on the old Note 2 and it work fine
Ps i have a 6000mah external battery
Gonna use it to power the external hdd im gonna get later down the road.
100% laptop replacement with storage everywhere

Oh yea but 15 hour on the tab s 10.5
yea im staying aways from that crap 4:3 ratio i have no idea how people can like that i had a laptop with that ratio for about 10 years until the screen hinge broke + the battery + the screen itself go humidity stuck in the panel and the fan started rattling lol
Ended using it as a server and finnaly recycled it after it started sounding like an airplane
My battery monitor says around 12hrs video playback at hd resolution depending on how bright the video is, Harry Potter=Yes , Dune=No

My battery is ok. Not good overnight on standby so charge it or switch it off.
I get an occasional freeze on lollipop when watching films. Was no problem on kitkat. Hope the next release fixes the movie issue.
Love the design. If the s2 is even better I may be tempted - but not by a smaller screen (as suggested).
That's out in the next month or 2 isn't it? Why not wait. Then you can buy my S lol
My T800 only looses 1-2% in 16 hours according to the app below, how much do you loose, have you tried finding out what is causing your battery drain.

First of is this a very good tablet.... yes. There is a handful of flagship class tablets that are made for android and for the most part they each have small advantages and disadvantages over each other. The best thing you can do is figure out exactly what type of stuff you want to do on your tablet.
Second this tablet is a Big.little 2X quadcore, so calling it an octacore is both cprrect and deceptive at the same time. Honestly I have no clue if Samsung enabled HMP (heterogeneous multi processing- the ability to use both quad cores at the same time) or not but I have noticed that the tablet is usually more gpu bound then it ever gets processor bound. In practice the faxct that there are better processors out there (tegra k1) does not mean that this tablet can not handle almost any program you can throw at it (that runs on it-- no tegra zone or xcom).
Lastly I would not recomend this tablet, the nexus 9, Nvidia shield, Sony z4, or any other android tablet as a laptop replacement. Or to be more precise I could not use one in that role. It has nothing to do with speed, this tablet is far faster then the pentium 4m dell I used to have. It is not so much the size of the tablet the 10.1 inch screen is not much different then some ultrabook screens I have used. The main issue in using an android tablet as a laptop replacement is Android. If you could load linux on this tablet amd run it then it might be a little closer to a working replacement, but even then the arm architecture severely limits program compatibility. The lack of even 1 full sized usb port (yes I know it has otg) limits accessories that can be used.
If you only ever need to do some very light document editing, then yes this can replace a laptop. If you need to do more then that and you absolutly have to have a tablet form factor then buy a surface 3 (never a 1 or 2, windows rt is useless) or other x86 based windows 8.1 tablet. If you want the best of both worlds then for the price of a galaxy tab s abd a keyboard you can get a convertable tablet/laptop and have a laptop for heavy workloads and a tablet for fun all in one.

10hour battery life on a laptop is pretty hard to do
The review in the link below quotes approx 7.5 hrs internet browsing which is almost the lowest, but the video playback is the longest, have a read of the full review if you have not yet.
Try "UC Browser" it has the best night mode i have see.

If younare looking for multimedia playback (videos and songs) and some internet browsing then yes you are correct, you don't need a full sized laptop. Tbh you really do not need a seprate bluetooth keyboard for thst either and that was partly what I was basing the thought you might want to do more then that on the tablet. Word processing for a document of any reasonable length, is lously on android even with a bluetooth or usb otg keyboard.
If you want to watch movies or listen to music on the go do not forget to buy a microSD card, this tablet supports up to 128GB but 64GB is a far better value. 16GB (or even 32GB lte model) is not enough memory after programs and the OS to store more then a few hours of moderate quality (480p-720p) videos and evem kitkat reads multimedia from removable storage with out any need to mess around with roms or root. Heck it is the one thing Google thinks should go on a microSD card, that and pictures.

Camera Time Limitations?

Does the S9/S9+ have a time limit on recording video? In particular, FHD Video @ 60FPS?
I know some phones have a 10 minute time limit and I also know that it has a 5 min time limit for 4K but what interests me is FHD @ 60 FPS for vlogging.

Yes the S7 and S8 had FHD @ 60 FPS but I think they had a 10 minute limit as well.
Can anyone confirm if there is a time limit on FHD @ 60 FPS on the S9?
I just checked my s9+ and found out that:
4k 60fps has a 5 min limit
4k 30fps has a 10 min limit
Qhd 30 fps has no limit
Fhd 60 fps has a 10 min limit
Fhd 30 fps has no limit
18.5:9 ratio 30fps has no limit
1:1 ratio 30fps no limit as well
And hd 30 fps no limit (of course)...
Running s9+ exynos
How is this still a 'thing'? **** Samsung...
Fhd 30 fps is not unlimited. Only 40 min recordingtime.

No limit here, probably just how much space you have remaining that determines how long you can record for
Limit is shown like this 0:00/10:00 for 10 min limit
If no limit it just shows 0:00
Can someone with qualcom/usa version confirm video recording limits, if any, in different resolution/fps?

That is interesting. I bought a brandnew S9 Plus, tried to make a video from one hour, and it cutted it after 40 min on FHD 30 frames. Yes, it sais 00:00, but this isn't right. I would suggest you to also try it and see what happens. I am a concertpianist so its kind of important that there are no cuts. On my last concert the S9 cutted again after 40 min, so I think enough proof here. This is at least the case for the EU version.
PS I had 50 GB or so, because it was brandnew. Tested on day one, so this is not a memoryproblem.

I have no need to record 40 min videos so have never tried to go that long, and tbh I couldn't be bothered doing it for a test either
I think I would be using a proper video camera anyway if I was a concert pianist and needed to film my whole show, not a phone
The time limitation is to avoid additional taxes for being a video camera. I'm not sure what the actual time cut-off is, but standard DSLR Cameras are stuck at 20min or under in order to avoid being classified as such.
Make no mistake, the tech says we could record for hours. The tax code from 30 years ago says otherwise.

Question Games unplayable due to thermal throttling stutters. Any fix?

Just trying to play Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Snapdragon 860 Xiaomi Pad and I notice fps drops on 1x and 4x. Try every setting, nothing changes. Even Gpu usage is only half.
Then I enabled fps counter and whenever it hits 30 C max it throttles to super low fps and doesn't go any bit higher. Explains the stutters I had in other Games.
30 C is nothing, feels like a scam, it runs like a low-end device.
Is there any fix? Any tutorial that works? With root or so? Just 35 C would be enough, It’s just 10 C here too. If not don’t buy Xiaomi for games, it’s not playable at all! It’s like a bad joke.
Over here the same problem and stuttering in fixed 60hz emulators

Sucks man, surprised no ones talking about this. The device is easily strong enough for 3DS and even some Switch games, but with this maybe it can't even do some older emulators smoothly, will do some more testing.
So here is the Video:
Flickering is due to the video recording only, but you can still see that it runs fine until the temp hits 30c, then it becomes very slow. You can see the graphic turn orange.
hopefully a developer can port a kernel of the xiaomi x3 pro that they share the same soc and all these problems can be solved, since I bought it for emulation and it does not work smooth as silk
I hope so! But I found a fix for this problem at least, you have to use Citra, not Citra MMJ, there seems to be a problem with that version. In normal Citra it runs at 60 fps at over 35 C but it still has some frame drops from time to time.

Just trying to play Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Snapdragon 860 Xiaomi Pad and I notice fps drops on 1x and 4x. Try every setting, nothing changes. Even Gpu usage is only half.
Then I enabled fps counter and whenever it hits 30 C max it throttles to super low fps and doesn't go any bit higher. Explains the stutters I had in other Games.
30 C is nothing, feels like a scam, it runs like a low-end device.
Is there any fix? Any tutorial that works? With root or so? Just 35 C would be enough, It’s just 10 C here too. If not don’t buy Xiaomi for games, it’s not playable at all! It’s like a bad joke.

I have Poco X3 Pro... it does have thermal throttling also... but I managed to get rid of throttling by flashing a HAVOC OS custom rom...
MIUI is known for throttling SOCs...
I have the same problem when playing Hearthstone. Anyway to turn off thermal throttling completely ?
