After making many live wallpapers in andengine , this is the only problem i still face with andengine.
When i used original extension, When rotating device and returning to home screen from apps there was a blink of screen(unscaled background) and 0,5 sec lag (resources reloading). But i had seen many live wallpapers with out any issue.
And i had seen this problem mainly in some devices, my tab Iberry give this issue where as Samsung tab don't produce this issue, and as this issue don't give out any error, i cant find it as a report for my App.

I was working on my game and noticed terribly low FPS and when running up to a certain area the whole screen goes bonkers and practically "flips" around. I am currently watching as many tutorials as I can to get better FPS but I decided to post here to see if this could be more of a help.
Today was my first time trying to use the profiler and I don't understand it all so I decided to screenshot it and put it in this post.
Heres the screenshot:

Any help is appreciated thanks!
I have a bug plaguing my project that I can't find any resources to online. There are 2 scenes in my app, Menu and Game. Menu has this behavior 100% of the time, whereas Game only loads with this glitch occasionally. It appears that once it happens once in Game, it will happen multiple times consecutively, and then eventually fix itself. Here is the image of what I am seeing: Menu scene --- Game scene
There are no scripts on my Canvas that are not standard Unity scripts, everything is stock. I have also checked the logcat log via command prompt and no errors are thrown.
If you have any information as to why this glitch is happening, please let me know. I think it has something to do with Canvas settings or a missing dependency/package conflict, but no settings that I changed caused the glitch to go away. Thank you for the assistance!
Change UI Scale mode of canvas to scale with screen size instead of constant pixel size
Answered my own question.
If you are making an AR app and have UI in the app, you NEED a regular Unity Camera in the scene alongside your AR Camera. The AR Camera should be tagged 'Main'.
For some reason, UI cannot attach to AR cameras, and while I don't understand why, the solution still works.
Trying to run the Three.js examples on the Nexus 7 and most of them work fine.
But im particularly interested in getting webgl video rendering to work on my nexus 7 device and this doesn't seem to work. All im getting is a black screen where the video is supposed to render, the rest surrounding the video renders just as normal.
My Nexus 7 is running android 4.4.4 & Chrome 36.0.1985.135 and im not seeing any console errors when running these examples.
The examples that don't work are:
https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/examples/canvas_materials_video.html
https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/examples/webgl_materials_video.html
My assumption (and from what i read) is that this could have something to do with the texture size, its needs to be the power of 2. Do you guys have any clue on why its not working and what i could try to get it working?
Many thanks for your help already
Best,

I'm just guessing but AFAIK videos don't autoplay on mobile devices. To fix the issue you need to make the user click something and in the handler for that click start the video playing. The easiest way might be to make a fullscreen div with no content that has its css z-index set to something so it's above everything else. Once the user clicks it start the video and remove it.
Following the instructions from Google here exactly as it is (QUALITY_HIGH):

When doing this with a Galaxy S3 (US Version) everything seems fine in indoor lighting. But when the camera goes outside and it is bright (maybe it needs to increase the shutter speed) something strange happens. The video starts "rolling" like a bad TV signal, and the image gets to be very low quality. It almost seems like the image sensor got overloaded and messed up.
I tried recording with the normal camera application and it seems to have no problems under the same condition. But using the API as described here generates this problem. Since the S3 is pretty popular -- anyone run into this problem before?
Is there some kind of hidden setting that the main camera app uses for camera setup? I tried flattening the camera settings to take a look at what's in there and there are tons of settings but i dont know what they all do without documentation. already tried turning off anti-banding and luma-adaptation and that didnt seem to do anything.
Thanks!
I think I figured it out. Need more testing but this seems to do it. There is a hidden setting called "camera-mode" that is normally set to -1. I changed it to a 1 and suddenly it is fine and functioning like the normal camera app.. anyone know what this mode thing actually means?
Camera.Parameters lParam = prCamera.getParameters();
lParam.set("camera-mode",1);
prCamera.setParameters(lParam);
Is what did the trick if anyone else seems to run into the problem.\
Hi I am wondering what the problem with the galaxy S is. I am using both a nexus S and a galaxy S phones for testing purposes. My whole app works pretty well on Nexus one. But when it comes to Galaxy S I cant see any video. Just hear audio.
Like I said above this doesn't happen on Nexus S. Is there something about the Galaxy S that messes with the SurfaceView? Sometimes I get a quick flash of the video before the screen goes black. My menu's and such still show up just not the video. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you have know how to fix this kind of problem please help. I will add relevant code if necessary
I know for a fact that the video is playing because in one of the methods that stats the video player i put a logcat which tells me that video is starting to play.
Is it possible that the surface view is being hidden for some reason on the galaxy S?
I'm not sure if this is relevant to you, but i had a similar issue with image assets not displaying on this phone, turns out i needed to use the layout-xhdpi, even though all other phones would default to the standard image in the 'layout' directory
I finally figured out what the Problem was. I am changing some settings in for the aspect ratio. This somehow stops the image from showing up. I will update when i have found a solution.
Edit:
I call setAspectRatio on my my Video after it has been prepared and the video has started in the onPreparedListener.
Edit 2:
The best way around this error is to change the aspect Ration after VideSizeChanged listener is called the first time, as that is when the first dimensions of the video are found.
