Laggy pop-up play - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I use pop-up play with self captured vids it makes my phone lag quite a bit which renders the feature pretty useless imo. Why is this? And is it even normal?

Also, when I push the vid in the corner (so a little part isn't shown) the lag goes away completely. It doesn't get better when the part not shown is bigger. The behaviour isn't present at all when using the example vid. Also I'm on the stock LFB rom.

Ok it has something to do with the vid being 1080p otherwise it wont happen, but as only the slightest part of the vid has to be covered by the edge of the screen it shouldn't be a matter of processing power. It has to be some kind of bug. Can anyone else confirm this bug?

I don't really like that app. I prefer the stock one. Also, the video itself doesn't lag but my phone does while playing it. For example while swiping trough apps or homescreens. But only with 1080p as I said.

No lag here, currently writing this while watching a self captured 1080p vid, which rom/kernel are you on?

Im on the stock rom. I've also tried it on a show model which was doing the exact same thing so I guess I'ts a bug in the stock roms?

I really hope the jelly bean update will fix this.

i am running the i747 north american galaxy s3. I get almost the same symptoms. It will lag with any video, but if i put a little bit of the edge off screen then it stops lagging. I have tried the jellybean leaks and pop up play runs perfectly smooth so it seems like it is something to do with the vsync.

I don't think it is fixed in the latest release of Jelly Bean. Strange problem though.

Instagram on ics

Can anyone modify the ics apk to work on any of our leaks? Some dev said the reason it freezes is because the EGL's get too high or something... Please don't flame, just asking

Instagram works fine for me on ICS also, but the problem lies in uploading a picture and applying a filter. It locks up the phone and causes a reboot.

Nope. Once you get to the filters section it locks up.

Once again, browsing on Instagram works perfectly fine. Try posting a picture. Even DesignGears said that the new leak doesn't fix the freezing problem so I doubt you're right.
Well just browsing is no good, i browse, comment, and like from the PC program. Easier viewing in a grid instead of one by one phone scroll up
I only use my phone to upload pics, since that's not possible from a PC yet
Right so can anyone mod the app to work with out freezing the phone?

Not working for me either but I can easily overlook that one of very few issues with ics. Instagram is overrated anyway. I certainly wouldn't let it hold me back from the latest and greatest OS on the planet.

They just released an update and the filters work fine now.
They addressed it in the "What's new" section too
Edit:
still has some issues.
Posting from gallery results in a black picture. It seems a little laggy, but at least it hasn't crashed on me yet.

1+ posting from the gallery results in you uploading a black pic, haven't taken a pic with the instagram camera yet, but according to your screenshot that works fine....
hopefully another minor update will solve the remaining issues.
I downloaded the new update and tried to upload a picture to see if it works but it rebooted my phone

Yes, it seems to work whenever it wants. I still didn't get a crash yet, but I do get some flickering and lag.
Iphony, yes, atleast it seems to be going in the right direction.

did you installed other launcher? cause i have the same problem with Nova, Apex e Adw launcher. I tried Chameleon launcher and all is fine.
i think that your problem is the same of me.
Its a problem that all Xperia Tablets have... Browser, Launcher, etc. dont change anything at all. From what ive heard its an ICS bug and our tablet suffers a lot.. Hopefully it will get fixed with jelly bean :cyclops:

Yeah, it happens to me too. First, I thought it was BS Player issue or something since it was only happening when watching videos. But then, I noticed it also happens when I reduce the bright of the screen using Screen Filter. I really hope it gets fixed on JB update because it's the only thing that really annoys me on the tablet. Apart from that and fortunately, I've nothing else to complain about, unlike many others.
i have this if i run live background verry anoying parts off the calendar and social life widget and other widgets glitch thru the screen.
i don't known if you experiencing similar flickering.

Music Playback problem

Hi guys,
I'm having horrible time with my s3 international version ever since I have upgraded to 4.1+. The issue is music player stutters while playing audio. It doesn't happen with video paybacks but only with music. It constantly stutters for a second or two like a broken cd or something. I can't believe a quad core processor can't handle background music playback! Can you please help? It's driving me crazy!

If using custom kernel then try changing governor... I prefer pegasusq... It happens mostly with the governors which take cpu into deep sleep very fast like zzmoove...
If you are using viper4android then also sane thing could solve that problem...
If not then there is a thread in general section or here only try searching that.. Many users have been experiencing this problem after updating to 4.3...

Latest stock 4.3 cures most sleep issues, although I never had that problem on 4.1

YouTube issue on Find X

YouTube was working just fine for me since I got the phone so I'm inclined to think that this is due to the recent update. When I try to play videos in 1080, they're zoomed in and moved to the right... Like for example, I was watching pocketnow daily, and all I could see when I switched to 1080 is Jaime Rivera's right hand lol and it was big haha
Any ideas?
Oh I got the Chinese version BTW.
I have no such problem. Maybe reinstall the app?
Yup
Same problem
Unfortunately, the only way to get it to work is to leave the quality at 480. Hope somebody find a fix.
This just started happening like 2 days or so. Must be the update. I tried uninstalling YouTube and it's still broken. Also, even when it was working, video quality on 1080 wasn't much better than 480.
Please let me know if anyone finds a fix. This is really annoying.
The fix is to turn off "video enhancement"...
The setting is under "display"

Yes, thanks.
That's the solution.
But I don't understand why...I mean, video enhancement is just to give more saturated colours to the video
