Hey Guys,
just got my new Nexus and I am very impressed about it. But now I am experiencing a very anoing problem:
I want to use my Nexus to record some videos, but everytime I want to watch them on my phone, it get's laggy as hell.
Playing the Videos on my computer is just fine and everything works just fine...
These problems occured even on stock.
My phone right now (sorry but I cant Upload an image)
Android-Version: 4.3
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-g90216aa [email protected] #2
ParanoidAndroid-Version: 3.92
I wouldn't rely on the in built player, get mobo player (mobo team one) or MX player... or both
Actually I allready tried all of your suggestions, none worked better (sorry did'nt mentioned).
It's still laggy.

Reboot your phone and check what's syncing in the background.. Settings/accounts/Google, then click the gmail address/s and see what's ticked.
In my Google-Acc, everything is ticked
If you have put lots of music on lately it will all be getting upped to the cloud in the background, I think that's the way it works. Try unticking Google play music.
Yepp, will try it. Though I am not having any music on my phone right now.. :/
I guess it won't be that then. I'll try some vids later, I haven't tested since going to 4.3.
Okay, thanks..
As I already said, it was even on stock like this. Got my Nexus with 4.3 already installed.
Hope it get's better. Has anyone else an idea?
Using stock 4.3 my videos are playing fine. I used es file explorer to stream them straight over my lan, only my 720 mkv files had trouble with no sound but played smoothly at least.
Hmm, awkward... But I am not talking about streaming, and not about mkv-files...
Only recording in 1080p and playback on the nexus is laggy. Same record on PC is fine.
I have the v500 since christmas and i had no problem until i updated to kit kat. Before that, i watched my videos on bsplayer (its quite easy for using subtitles) or VLC, but now they both dont work well. Bsplayer is like slow, i mean, every 2 seconds the image stops for an instant and then continues, sound works without problem. In VLC it's the sound that stops working once every five minutes more or less, and for a few seconds. Sometimes, it also happens with some games. I alredy tried to restore the device and reinstalling the apps. Also deleting data files and cache of both apps.
Anyone having this problem and a solution??

Although I like BSPlayer and it works fine for me, I should point out that the default video player by LG works very well, reads subtitles just fine, and many codecs.
Did you clear app data or did you try uninstalling the apps and do a fresh install after the upgrade? I don't use either of those apps but i did have a problem after the upgrade with a couple of apps behaving badly until i cleared the app data and one required a reinstall.
doh, can you tell I was watching hockey when i wrote this? It looks like you already tried my suggestions...

I have problem with videos also.
I has started after changing soft to new soft 4.4.2.
While playing video (.mkv or .mp4), in defeault player or in MX Player, every few minutes, the picture is freezing for few seconds (audio is playing normally).
I have tried with different movies, always the same.
Before Android update everything was allright.

The same is happening to me as well. I'm considering following the thread in XDA about downgrading to original 4.2.2, but I'm worried about bricking the G Pad. It's the last option; i have tried with several different players, and after a factory reset to no avail.
It's a mess from LG, I can't understand how this could go under the radar during their testing phase.
Anyone has info about future updates?
this actually happens to me using the stock video player on kit kat. I been using mx player since then with no issues..
Hi,
I have exactly the same issue with videos on 4.4.2 whatever video player I am using. I updated my tablet as soon as I bought it, so I can not compare to 4.2.
I switched to the ART runtime (you need to enable Developer options to do so) a week ago and since then, video playing is smooth again.
Regards,
I am having about 250ms audio lag on watching any media, be it speakers or headphones, youtube or home server streaming.
I've tried turning on GPU rendering in developer settings, I've looked for alternate audio codecs, wiping the cache and I've tried turning off google now voice listening.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I tried mine and no problems for now but check what kind if players you have installed or software it might be from there ,hard reset .
I noticed this on youtube especially
Let me know if you fixed the problem and how please!
Probably going to need an OTA for that.
Audio lag
I experience the same problem when playing any and all video files. I recorded a video yesterday and that had lag on it too, even when played on a different device. I've emailed ZTE and the address to do it if you feel so inclined is [email protected]
What an annoying problem for an otherwise excellent phone! There are a few other examples of it too so it's not an isolated incident.
A factory reset didn't solve the problem either.
Update: Bluetooth audio is fine...
Same issue here. Sound is delayed about 1/4 of second.
its clearly a software problem since i dont think the USA users have the problem.

Just curious have you tried a factory reset? Did it fix it?
If this is on YouTube. This is a YouTube only problem. Many people from different phones are reporting this issue.

Happens with other apps as well as reported by others and tested, basically any app with videos using hardware decoder. its definitely not a youtube problem.

So is it a defect?
USA user here, not audio lag for me (that I've noticed) and I've watched a couple movies and several YouTube videos. I just checked it before posting to make sure, and mine is fine.

Do you have a video decoder issue? Like not able to pick 1080p60fps?

Guess I'm not sure where to find those settings?
I just switch from 480p to 1080p in YouTube with no issues? I also watched a video I recorded on my Samsung Galaxy S7 in 4k with no issues using VLC player. I couldn't find where to change to 60fps though?
I was able to record a video in 1080p @ 60fps too

Looks like this is a YouTube encoder issue. I may have to submit a ticket to the YouTube Devs.

It's noticeable on other apps too... Either way wouldn't hurt. I honestly think it's a OS issue since USA have a different version of the OS and they seem okay. ZTE just need to rollout an update fix I think, I've sent them an email about it lets see if they reply. Also the ZTE USA community mod knows about the problem and is trying to get a UK community started!
Bit noticeable on Netflix as well not too sure about this one
I downloaded a movie viewed it on MXPlayer using their hardware decoder and got the sync issue. Switched it to software and wala all was fine! Honestly don't think we need to send phone back or anything they can easily roll out a fix for it

Confirmed this. Really hope they roll out a fix. Just this and Android pay and it's perfect!
Just got this phone from a coworker, factory reset to Android 5.
I tried to take a video with the stock camera app but when I press the video button, nothing happens.
I loaded some music on the phone from my computer and everytime I click play on Poweramp, the scrollbar goes nuts. On google music it tells me the requested song could not be played. When I try to play videos on youtube chrome, chrome crashes.
When I try to play a 3d game (I downloaded this: https://apkpure.com/city-racing-3d/com.racergame.cityracing3d ) the app does not even start.
I tried updating the webview app as recommended here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/nexus-4-video-playback-issue-android-5-t3177415
But this did not help.
Is there a misconfiguration with the stock rom? Or maybe the GPU in the phone is completely fried and the CPU is the only thing running? I tried an Antutu test which ran just fine. I can post results if that helps.
I am considering installing Lineage OS on it and seeing if that makes the trick. But I want to be sure that this is a software issue before I spend all that time on a phone that might not work.
Thank
UPDATE:
The phone randomly restarts at times so I'm suspecting that the motherboard is to blame. I opened it however and nothing suspect was found.
Installed latest version of lineage os (15.1) and got youtube playback, audio playback. There's just no audio from the speakers or headphone jack but connects to bluetooth just fine. When attempting to take a video with the camera application, the camera app just crashes and says that it can't communicate with the camera.
Am I right in assuming its the mobo?

Flash a different ROM (I suggest Nitrogen OS) and see if the problem persists, that'll give you a better idea.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Labs
Thanks @Akhilesh S V!
I flashed nitrogen OS and original problem persists: I cannot take any videos as the stock camera app crashes when trying.
Otherwise, phone reacts pretty normally and can play video, play music and whatnot. What must I do to fix the camera app? This was a clean flash onto Nitrogen OS.

Camera is a problem in new Android versions. Did u flash stock lollipop rom or just factory reset the phone. Maybe some binaries got messed up. Intead of factory reset, try flashing the stock lollipop rom from google, deleting everything so better backup stuff. That rom had the most stable version of camera for mako. If the problem persists there then there's no hope on any other rom. As for hardware checks there are a lot of apps so u can do that.
My Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 has been giving me wierd problems lately. It is running on stock Android and never meddled with any software. I was just speaking to someone over phone and it suddenly rebooted.
Ever since on trying to make a call, the phone hangs up, shows System UI and Phone not responding and reboots. No application is able to play any video. It just stays up as paused. No sound is coming out from any apps.( Tried checking the ringtone for basic sounds and stuff). Everything else works perfectly. No signs of lag. This message is being written from the device itself.
These are what I tried to do :
1. I did a factory data reset, wipe cache.
2. Tried reverting back to previous update.
3. Reflashed the Entire ROM using the flashall_aft.cmd.
Same issues coming up. I am sensing some hardware issue. Not dropped , neither had any liquid damages. All happened suddenly.

I think it is a hardware problem. Go to the service center and repair the phone.
Exact same issue

Bro, Facing the exact same Issue. I even tried flashing custom ROM and the problem still persists. Did you fix it? I can't go out because of the Virus as of now.

Edit:
It seems that if I pull up any video through MX Player it starts playing, without audio though. The audio button shows audio track as disabled and doesn't allow me to change it to Track 1.
I believe, if am not wrong, my device is unable to process audio anywhere. Do you think any part of the motherboard is at fault and could it be tweaked for that??

If I access YouTube through Google Chrome in desktop mode,videos start playing.
So basically any app that processes audio along with video isn't working. For eg: Whatsapp vidoes work if I play them via MX Player but no in the app.
Hence I can't place or receive calls too.
I guess MX player decodes audio seperately, so it plays videos well.

Yes!!!
Although I'm using it for scrolling through Facebook, Instagram (videos without audio ofcourse), for reading journals and minor gaming.
Using a spare one for calling . Serves my purposes for now.
Will tell you if there's any development.
