Blurry videos

kokolevvv — Sun, 15 Mar 2015 09:15:17 GMT

A few days ago i bought a Sony Z3 and noticed that videos are a bit blurry.I turned off the special effects in the display settings and it got a little better.But now it started to annoy me seeing the pixeled scenes,especially on Facebook. Has anyone experienced this or has knowledge on how to fix this?

Thank youbin advance!

Videos on Facebook are very compressed. Is this happening with videos you have taken and instantly watch back?

Hmm,not really,the videos taken by me only have some problems on the movement,but the quality seems fine and natural.
The videos on Facebook have the worst quality but for example I do have some small problems in other apps to such as YouTube and another that i use for watching TV shows.

Sounds like your internet download speed is too slow

I can ensure you it is not my internet because i tryed to do the same thing on two other phones and I didn't encountered the same problem.

Were the 2 other phones using WiFi or carrier?Download a video and then watch it,if it plays OK the fault is your internet

Download Speedtest app on all 3 phones and post your findings here.

there is one thing thought on facebook there is a button called HD some times that button is disabled by default so it uses normal low resolution quality so try pressing it and see if your full HD quality shows up usually solves the problem.

Sorry for the late reply,but here you have the tests.As I've seen that some people think it's only the Facebook, it's not only that,but the quality is the worst there.
I think i might give up, cause everything I tryed is pointless.

However, I don't want to create another thread so i'm asking here Why can't I use it with my gloves on,even if the glove mode is turned on? Another problem in just a week.

I expected a lot from Sony,but my enthusiasm dropped significantly.

Did you download a video and play it?

No,because i tryed watching a movie trailer there and download it,just to find that videos on Chrome (which in that cased opened a jwplayer) are fine.

Some networks have this issue, in the UK, streaming video is much poorer on O2 than say, EE.
Check online if your network is known to suffer this.
