tablet stutters when recording

Post by Vince »

Posted originally in the "Questions that don't require a whole thread" thread but it wasn't getting any love.

ANYWAY...

Why has my Samsung Tablet started stutering-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g when recording stuff? Does anybody have any suggestions?

I thought it might have been something with disk access contention and turned off all the apps I could and went into airplane mode.

No change.

I tried recording from much further away, no difference.

The stuttering doesn't have anything to do with levels. Tried a reboot, no change.

Any ideas? I've seen stuff on line but it's doing my head in. Anybody have a simple answer I can try?

Could it be the tablet doesn't have enough processing grunt?

Not sure... it worked well for ages before, but perhaps among all the various App upgrades something is suddenly sucking up more resources. Could be...

On my Android tablet in settings > apps you can tap on an app and Stop it. You might want to try that with a number of them. Facebook is a bloated POS in my view, i've removed it from my phone.

Then you can start it after you have finished recording. Saves having to uninstall and reinstall them.

I use an app called "Clean Master" by Cheetah Mobile - free but with the usual adds, anyway it's a combination task manager & cleaning app. You can hit one button to hibernate all inactive apps to free up resources & memory.
