[Q] Skype video on Note 3 compared to Note 2 (both Qualcomm) topic

Hi!

I did some skype video calling lately and experienced something strange. The quality of the transmitted video was way better from Note 2 than from Note 3 in various aspects:
Concerning the front cam, I had 17 to 7 fps, a much better quality in terms of light and color of the pictures. Turning on the the quality information the Note 2 also showed a lower cpu usage (!!).
Skype version on both: 4.5.0.39600
Note 2 rooted stock ROM 4.1.2, Note 3 rooted stock 4.3 MJ7.

So, is the current skype version not as optimized for snapdragon 800 as for Exynos?

The results for the back cams were similar, but not with such drastic difference. Still higher frame rates on Note 2, a bit more "natural" picture and lower cpu usage. This was kinda disappointing. I love boths my devices, but comparing them in many aspects of everyday usage, the Note 3 is not superior to the Note 2 in all aspects! Skype is just 1 thing, there are quite some things still lacking on Note 3, UMS e.g.

So, can somebody confirm my "discoveries" in terms of skype video quality?
Anyone to bring a bit more insight into that issue?

P.S. Anything similar on Hangouts video?

Qualcomm Optimized Libs topic

Anyone else tried the bionic libs on any KK ROM.

After installing the bionic libs on most of the VZW KK Roms I can verify that performance and memory management is much better.

The dalvik libs will cause a boot loop but the bionic libs perform great.

Just thought I'd throw this out for others.

[HELP] Factory cable - Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 topic

Using a factory cable, I got my bricked Kindle Fire HDX 7" to show up as a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" in device manager. Does anyone know what to do now?

Also, does any developer want to do anything while I have my HDX in this mode? I got a replacement for this tablet from Amazon so I don't care if this tablet is damaged (hopefully for a good cause).
