The YouTube app won't offer its "VR" mode for side-by-side viewing of ordinary 2D YT videos unless it believes you have a fully Cardboard compatible phone. While it's possible to sideload the Google Cardboard app, this does not solve the problem with YouTube. The issue is that a phone without compass and/or gyro (so, officially "not Cardboard compatible") is still completely capable of playing 2D YT videos through a Cardboard-type headset -- IF YT could be forced to offer the "Cardboard" viewing option to enable the split display. Does anyone know of a practical way to force this? Alternatively, is there a 3rd party app for doing this with YT videos that would actually work properly on the kind of phone under discussion? All the ones I've found so far that purport to do this are junk and don't really work. Thanks.
If the problem as I understand it is just playing the normal youtube videos in vr mode like this :

AND... if your android is 5.0 or higher, then "NOMone VR Broswer" (a free app on Google Play) solves the problem very well :good: .

I recently say a you tube vid of someone playing android games on a big screen hd tv, with the atrix, my question is how do I do this? I have searched high and low but dont see how, my android just displays a motorola logo on my tv when I hook up the hdmi...
Its called hdmi mirroring. Both greyblur and gingerblur have this feature, if I remember correctly. But I believe it only works in portrait, not landscape.

Tried this just now with Gblur. Used webtop mode and played a game, okay a few games, of Angry Birds on the tv. It does work in ladscape. Double tap and hold to pull the bird back. Just awesome. I did not try the hdmi mirroring. Maybe later..
Heres a pic. Bad quality from low lighting taken w Cap.

It is clearly stated that Galaxy 3 has FLASH LITE which will play swfs from your sd and some videos( i used it to view a video in stock browser)
And there are some apps which allow using the back camera for video telephony but still its not that comfortable compared to devices with a front camera

There is written android browser with flashlite 3.1 .But we cant see any flash content in browser.There is no app for video telephony.Apps like fring and vtok allows you to video chat not videocall
Yes we have Flash, but it doesn't work in the browsers and it's so slow you wouldn't want it to work anyways. As for video telephony, I have no idea what that's about considering there is no front camera so the other person would see you but you wouldn't see them unless you hold a mirror in your hands.

Hi, i got a graphic glitch, sometimes when i watch video on youtube (youtube application) or when i watch small animation on twitter (embedded videos inside twitts). It's not each time, it's sometime, i cant get to know what is producing it. I did a screenshot of the issue i encounter, i want to ask you if anybody ever encounter the same glitch on the S4, or another phone as well? Any idea what's coming from?

same with me its funny how nobody has a fix for this problem or even bothers to help out google is bad and will always be bad unfortunately
My model was upgraded to Android 10 yesterday, but I already had this problem before.
I didn't root my device, I'm using the OS as it came installed and (AFAIK) I didn't make any relevant changes as I've only had the phone for a couple of months.
So my problem is the DRM Info app says I have Widevine L1 (though no HDR functionality?!), but then in Netflix's "Playback Specification" screen it says Widevine L3 and SD as maximum playback resolution.

Because of this, I can't seem to play Netflix HD videos on my phone. Which is a bother because even for the small-ish 6.4" screen those 480p are really starting to show their age.
And I do have the Netflix 4K plan.
Another interesting tidbit is the Amazon Prime Video app lets me play videos in 1080p (making it a big difference in quality to netflix videos).
The only thing out of the ordinary that I remember is manually installing a couple of games through an apk, as they're from humble bundle.
Any help here? Should I try to contact netflix? Reinstall the app in some specific way?
