[Q] Video problem affecting everyones droid X2

---

I am posting this to report a problem, not only with my droid x2 but with everyone's droid x2.

problem: The droid x2 is unable to stream or watch downloaded 720p using Jetvd or TubeMate, while the droid 3 can.

Has everyone here used Jetvd or TubeMate. They are great programs, they basically allow you to watch youtube videos and download them if you like them. They both allow you to watch 720p videos/download them so you can watch them on your phone.

Now the problem is, the droid x2 does not allow you to watch hd video using both these programs. The droid x2 has a qhd display so i don't understand why its unable to play these videos.

While i was at the verizon store, i installed jetvd and tubemate on the droid 3. I discovered the droid 3 can play 720p videos using jetvd. I then went to the droid x2 on display and did the same thing. The x2 was unable to play these videos.

So i would like everyone to download jetvd. Do a search "hd" find a video thats 720p and try to play it because you can't.

So my question is this. Why? is this a rom problem? A program problem? Because how can the droid 3 do this while the droid x2 can't?

Open youtube app, settings choose high quality on mobile networks. Just watched starwars trailer in 720p

The you tube app does not play the video in hd, it plays the video at sub hd and stretches the image to fit the display. I had asked for you to download jetvd or tubemate and search he and select a video that shows 720p and try to play it. You can play it on the DROID 3 but not the x2

I wonder if this is a problem with the class rating of the microSD card. Anyone with a class 10 or higher want to check this?

Please could someone check. I am annoyed you can't play 720p youtube videos downloaded by jetvd or tubmate on the DROID x2 but you can on the evo and DROID 3

Just watched 300 trailer 720p hd. And 1080p transformers trailer. Streamed both. Class 10 sd. These are what the titles said. Did nit change any default settings in tubemate.

Edit.
I could not download and watch in. 1280- 720 res. Had to do the lower res 640-360 or whatever. Is this still 720p?

no 640x360 is not 720p. This is the issue i am reporting on.

Let me just clarify something. Tubemate can't play 720p or 1080p videos streamed. When you go to watch the video it redirects you to the youtube app in which case you are watching the vids in 640x360 resolution.

However Tubemate does allow you to download the videos in 720p so that you can watch them on your phone. Now you just said that even with your class 10 card you were unable to watch the downloaded 720p vids.

Jetvd can actually stream 720p and download 720p.

I am beggining to think this is a rom issue.

It has to be a rom issue, because I've seen the Thunderbolt handle streamed 720p flawlessly, and the eve 3d, betting any dual core phone can do it, besides ours

What are you smoking man... we all know the fact that Verizon's strong-arm, lock-down, "we own this, you don't" approach is the uber best possible awesomest most bestest romz evar. Verizon can't has no problems with their elite massive roms. If you can't play 720p on one of the fastest phones out there when 1080p runs pretty damn fine on slower, then it's just never not possible because Verizon said so. </sarcasm>

I'm sure it's a rom problem. Even a phone half the speed can do 720p using a class 10 (verified this one myself) with a near vanilla CM7 load (tweaked CPU settings only).

Can you really tell the difference on a 4.3 inch display anyway?
