No HD in Amazon Prime Video? - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Amazon Prime Video only offers SD video streaming/downloading to me (new 8.0" model SM-T719, latest firmware).
Is this a common issue to the Galaxy Tab S2 or is there any known workaround (like the modified Netflix APK that is circulating here)?
I'm confused because various XDA members report successful HD playback with older Samsung tablets..
Thanks!

I get HD (720P) on mine. As do I on Netflix. No idea what the problem could be here. Maybe it's a regional restriction?

Do you have the SM-T719 ("2016 model" with Qualcomm chip) or the older one with Exynos chip?
Thanks!

Screenshot below to illustrate what I mean -- do you get the message that "HD purchases will play in SD on this device" or does it actually offer to play in HD?

I have the 719.

Check your connection speed with a 'net speed checker - some of these places "auto-tune" their delivery to match your download speeds (to stop whiners complaining about buffering and stutter).
My TV does the same if the connect speed drops below 10 MBits... (But I found a way to ensure it connects at the max (for the distance) of about 32)
Not saying it IS the cause... but you could rule it out by doing a check.

If they ripped off a working video chipset and drivers, I'd buy it...

You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag
"You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag "
LOL !!!
Nice
Interestingly that endgadget article has a post that this phone does not actually run Windows Mobile... but some sort of rip-off.
Other sites that sell the device don't state WM6 (or any version) on their features list.
Does M$ charge alot for putting WM on a device? If so that could be one reason for the low price.
Plus it only has a 30 day warranty, I believe the tilt has a 1 year(?)

Uses "some sort of Windows Mobile operating system". The real one is already a buggy mess, go figure that one...LOL
I bet it will perform better than the Kaiser, and I'm not kidding (sadly).
It will probably perform better than the Kaiser because it is using a basic OS that is more like a calculator than a Windows Mobile.
So, it probably boots up in 5 seconds, switches apps in a fraction.
But it also probably doesn't have TouchFlo, PIE, or many of the other features that make the Kaiser/Tilt nice.
It is like any of the other numerous phones out there on the market (like from Verizon) that have a slide out keyboard with a proprietary OS.
This of course is assuming the statements above about it not being WM6 are true. If it indeed runs WM6 then I am sure the performance will be equivalent to the Kaiser.

[Q] Does P970 have gyroscope?

gsmarena doesn't specify that P970 has gyro while other sites say yes.
Read the description on the following video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQgMlhJ7GaE
quote:
The LG P970 (optimus black) DOES have a gyroscope.
In particular, it includes this one: Invensense MPU 3050, the same as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, the Lenovo IdeaPad K1 and the Acer Iconia Tab A100.
P970 sensors:

thanks radkor,
But why even LGs official sites doesn't state that it has gyro?
Can you recommend me a practical app or game to prove it?
I played Brothers in Arms 2 with gyroscope. Without it game becomes very hard to play.

The application uses the gyroscope sensor to improve stability. You can install this free application on your Android device. Just look for "steady compass" or "kalman compass" on the Android Market.
I already install it and it works like a charm.... I dont have to activate my gps to know where is North is...
Thanks guys! The gyro works flawlessly in Brothers in Arms 2! It made me glad i didn't opt for the Galaxy SL. Maybe i'm deviating from the main topic but can anybody recommend me more virtual games and apsp that utilizes the gyro?

Glad it helped. New high-end games all have gyroscope support. But i don't know if our phone plays them flawlessly. It has 1 core at 1GHz. I play them on iPad 2 to get maximum joy. Cos i hate lags and freezes during game. I experienced a little in BiA 2. Even got killed because of that. So i don't have feedback on them but i can suggest this:
Labyrinth from illusion games. Good game if you ask me.

Apt-X Support

Have not found clear info regarding this -
I know that my Note 4 supported Apt-x.
Does anyone know if Note 5 supports the protocol, and if so, do you have an official source?
Apt-x to me is the only thing that makes bluetooth streaming tolerable.
For those who don't know - it eliminates (to my ears) the extremely loss of fidelity you normally get when using bluetooth a2dp type streaming.
Once you hear the difference, you can NEVER go back

It's NOT shown on the http://www.aptx.com/ website. (Odd, as the Edge+ _is_ on there.) I believe it does support AptX, but I don't see any "official" documentation stating it.
I was using Apt-X on my GS4 with a compatible atonishing headset, now I'm using the headset with my Note5 but as you have noticed there is no official document about it while GSM Arena mentioned it in an article beside of lack of apt-x feature in Note5 specs at the same time !
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note5-review-1286p3.php
Now I'm more curious about it but one thing I'd rather to fool myself with is all flagships by Samsung at the release time of Note5 had apt-x, which means there is no technical limitation to have it in Note5 as well, plus I can't recognize any loss comparing to GS4 with my headset
I use my note 5 with several apt-x accessories such as my htc stereo clip adapter.
I would know instantly if it was not apt-x. Rest assured, it supports it
I'm gonna disagree with the above poster. I don't think my Note5 supports aptx. I have a the Sony MDR-1RBT mk2 headset. I also have a Sony NWZ-A17 player. Both Sony devices support aptx. When playing music with the Note5, it just sounds much worse than playing music with the A17. This is using the same music files so same bit rate and format.
I just captured Bluetooth traffic between note 5 and Bose Apt-X Bluetooth receiver. It's All Apt-X.

Question Photo transfer - unexpected glitch

Hy there,
For the last two weeks I'm the owner of the Mi Ultra Global version (Deutschland) and I've noticed something weird for the last few days.
Being the best camera in the house, I mostly take the photos for my GF.
She has a Samsung Galaxy 20 FE, and when I want to send her the photos, by WhatsApp or an file transfer that we use called SendAnywhere, they come to her phone glitched. For example, from 30 photos, 10 are unusable.
PS. In my gallery, they are all oke, I can see them without any problems.

Do you know if it's a bug from me or maybe some settings in the camera that can cause this problem?
I've attached an example.
Thank you guys,
Alex
Settings, check the shooting format.
Forget the name but some advanced formats aren't viewable on none compatible devices.
HDR maybe?

HEIF I think you meant. It's turned off.
HDR Is so strong that a mid-range phone like the 20 FE doesn't support it?

Yeah that's it. Try sending it by email or text.
That's all I use.
I won't let WhatsApp, FB, etc run on my phone... I know better.
It supports HDR (rich tone) but it looks like crap
