h/w + codec uses the Tegra chip to do the coding & decoding, so it is definitely more powerful compared to original settings (I assume it would be software decoding)

Haha I see, thanks for the explanation.


The moment I've been dreading for, My N7 has no issues of screen lifting and other issues that were reported BUT I discovered theres a circle line on the display glass somewhere towards the bottom which is only visible when the screen is off and easily visible under the certain angle.

Doesn't look like a scratch, cant feel it with the skin on my fingers, but when I covered my finger with a microfibre cloth and using my finger nail to feel it, I could feel the 'line'. Haih, these 2 days I thought it was just fingerprints smear, but it isn't, its a perfect circle.

Thinking if I should request for exchange by newegg or going to Asus. Tried to take picture, but couldn't due to the screen being reflective. Should I ask newegg?

This is a very silly thought. Not all hardware decoding works like charm as if it were a Samsung Galaxy S or Note series.

Generally understood that hardware decoding > software decoding. Never said that it was a universal rule. Some apps are better with software decoding even when run on powerful hardware BUT those apps are few and hard to come by.

EDIT: The Tegra is very much superior compared to other devices which the current media player apps have been written on which gives it an added advantage. Quad core > dual core when it comes to situations like these.

Hmm, found out from xda, some users had similiar issue. Some perfect circle like mine, some has weird shapes. Well they did was to wipe it completely clean then apply screen protector over it thus not noticeable anymore.

I'm speechless really. Even the media player I bought a year ago don't have any codec problem and plays everything I throw at it. Nexus 7? Simply poor. Can't even compare with galaxy note. I hope you knew what you're saying really. I don't really get what you mean by other device?

Today I charged my Nexus 7 with Samsung charger and battery drop really slow. After 2 hours screen on browsing, only drop 25%...

But when I open battery info, can't stop laughing. I wonder how it can happen though. Battery level goes up even when no charging.

Tegra is not as good as u claim.
I watch ice age movie 720p, if put on hw, it stutters only 2 frame / second.

Put hw+ only works smooth.

On samsung s2. Whatever mode (hw,hw+,sw) I put also smooth. Same movie, same app which is mx player.

Duno codex problem or what la. But if put hw in n7, some video stutter very serious. I always leave it at hw+.

Confirm with Senheng ytd.. the device is rm299 but only you signed up with the YES 4G for 36 months which is rm68 x 36 motnhs = Rm2448 + device price rm299 = RM2747 and u have to pay it in one lumpsum...

Their brochure is very misleading, at first i thought the device was RM299 too. vmad.gif vmad.gif

YES 4G no need simcard for its wifi data ; you just need to use the YES dongle as portable wifi hotspot

I've been using both dice and MX player for watching movies. WHile I was trying out Dice player on a 720p movie, with the default settings, the sound became 'robotic'. I notice that happen for a several split seconds while I was playing Mass Effect too.

However playing the same video on MX player with h/w + codec, seems fine. I hope its not the speaker's problem.

what movie you are trying on?
for me i tried few HD movies on Dice recently doesn't encounter any issue, but having some sudden jitter on mx player.

Chill bro, That's a fact that N7 Tegra 3 would play hd movie better than most of the tablets out there when right decoder is there.

Would like to know, what's good in Galaxy note?

4 hours of surfing on 3G, basically is more power consuming than you using 4Hours on wifi. It's consider not bad that the battery only drop 50% off the full charge bro smile.gif
