Hello. This is my first post here, and my first real android phone so I may need a bit more assistance than others. I came here after not getting any answers from yahooanswers and as such this will be mostly a copypasta from what I alread put there.
I recently left verizon where I had a basic phone to move to metro pcs. I don't want any answers saying to switch or anything against them because I got a great deal, and only have this one complaint. I got the coolpad quattro 4g at first. Everything worked fine, until a day or two later I had problems playing videos. I mostly use youtube and blip. I may go to dailymotion, veoh, tumblr, or anime sites occasionally. Videos would play for about 5 seconds, buffer for about 30, and play for about 5 again. Just frustrating and not an enjoyable experience. I took it to the store and they told me nothing was wrong with it that they could tell. I wound up switching to the lg motion, which I tried in the store and it kicked the crap out of the coolpad playing videos. It also had a higher version of android 4.0 compared to 2.3.7, a better camera 5 to 3.2, and gorilla glass. And things were great the ride home, last night, and this morning. But about 12 today I started experiencing the same issue. Both phones worked great otherwise. Calling, texting, surfing, and all the apps I downloaded worked fine on both phones, even streaming music in the google play music app; just being a bitch to play video. Before I returned the coolpad I thought that maybe putting apps on the homescreen would slow it down. I don't think that's true because the lg automatically installs shortcuts. I've also reduced the number of home screens on both of them. I restored the coolpad to factory settings and that did nothing. The lg has a section under the settings for power saving, and I use all but one or two of them. I even did a system update on the lg and have the same problem. I thought if anything would have fixed it that would. I also uninstalled all the bloatware I could, and disabled the ones I couldn't, to no avail. I'm completely at a loss. Because I had the same issue on both phones I wonder if I paid more money to switch and I didn't have to. Is metro just too good to be true? Again calling, texting, browsing barring playing videos is great, and streaming music is fine. I should also mention that I have the same problem on google chrome and the youtube app. I also have a task killer. It's just a really frustrating thing for me. Is there anything you can think of that might help? Anybody that has had the same issue? One last thing I'll mention if it makes the issue any more recognizable is that before displaying the real time of the video, eventually, it always shows the length as 1:40. I'd appreciate any help I could get and any answers from anyone with android or metro pcs experience. Thanks.
