Hi, I own Galaxy S3 for T-mobile(SGH-T999). It's rooted and runs on stock ROM. I have been using S3 with no problem for few weeks, but recently I noticed that video randomly freezes. Whenever I play any video for about 1~10 minutes, video and audio freezes. However, subtitle still plays and progress bar moves as if the video is playing. I tried playing video with native player as well as MX Player pro. Both with the same result. I tried playing it from SD card as well as on phone memory, and tried rebooting multiple times with no success. I tried the option "Show CPU usage" in Developer option, and noticed blue bar on the top with three numbers when the video froze. I played both 1080p video and 720p video both with h.264 codec. I stored it and played from both phone memory and Class 10 64GB MicroSDXC(Sandisk) which benchmarked at around 10MB/s write and 30MB/s read. I don't see any reason why there would be problem like this as same exact video files played very well with no problem on my old GS2(SGH-T989). If anyone's got idea what might be going on, please share with me.
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.
I bought a dknight magicbox Bluetooth speaker for my tab S 10.5. Podcasts and music streaming are fine, but streaming video with hbo go and max go I get audio lag and choppy video. Games are hopeless because of huge amount of dropped frames. Youtube is okay, though.
I thought hmm I guess that's why it costs $30 and not $50 or $100 like the other Bluetooth speakers. But I tried it on my iPad 3 with hbo and it is fine. I thought okay maybe the hbo app for android lags, so I tried it on my nook hd+ it is fine. Played fast and furious 6 very heavy action and no noticeable dropped frames.
The other thing is the tab cannot see my vizio 5.1 sound bar at all (does not show up after scan), but my other devices can see it just fine.
I've tried two different TW ROM and a cm12 ROM. Same result.
Anyone else has blue tooth issues like mine?
Oh yes I should say I am using 5Ghz Wi-Fi to avoid conflict with Bluetooth. That's not the problem.
The other thing I notice: I have touch sound enabled (tab plays a sound when you touch something on screen). Every time this happens, it causes the speaker to (beside playing the touch sound) make a humming / buzzing noise for like three seconds. doing the same thing on the nook hd+ does not produce the same noise. Do I think there is some kind of interference the tab is sending out to the speaker.
Everything else on the system works fine. 4k Video from Amazon Instant comes through quick and clear. Hulu is fine .. etc.
When watching Netflix, everything does fine for a while. There is a good quality 4K stream coming in that is playing smoothly. However after about 20-30 minutes of watching a show, the video starts to stutter and get choppy, eventually leading to the point where it is only display around 10 frames per second or so from what it looks like. Hitting back on the remote and starting the video again corrects the issue, however having to do this 4 to 5 times during a show seems ridiculous.
Is there anyone else that has had this issue and has found a solution for it ?
Thanks for the help anyone that can.
I have the same Problem with Netflix. So is Ultraflix at 5.0.5.1 with h.265 stuttering and works only with h.264 at 5.0.4 it works with both codecs perfect.
Hi, I am currently watching TV shows on my Kodi firestick. while I am watching television and browsing Facebook or even Instagram when a video starts playing/audio the show I am watching pauses, I have to then press play to continue the show on tv.
Anyone know why videos that start with audio (Instagram and Facebook) pause the videos I am watching on my tv/first stick?
This was not occuring with my OnePlus 7t pro
I think there may be a problem with your sound card. I also had such a problem when using discord, the interrupts stopped after sound card updates. I am currently able to follow various broadcasts such as TV or radio without freezing. canlı tv
