Need help with htc vx6800 clock and video - General Questions and Answers

Hey! I have two problems I am hoping someone can help me with.
1. The digital time used appear in the top right hand corner of my phone but i must have hit something and now there is just a clock symbol and I have to touch it to view the time. I don't know how to fix it to show the time again. I attached a pic of what it looks like now. Its a little blurry though.
2. I cannot play any videos on my phone. I have wmp 10 mobile for pocket pc. I can record video, I cannot play it back though,I cannot view any videos on the internet, and if someone emails me a video I cannot open it. It just gives me a error message that says "Cannot play file".
Thanks in advance for your help.

The clock problem is simply a reg entry (use Advanced Config if anything). The other issue may have to do with the codecs not present in WMP 10. Try to use something else such as TCPMP or CorePlayer to play videos.

I am not technology inclined . Can you possibly give me step by step instructions on how to fix it?

I've been all through my phone settings trying to figure this time/clock thing out. I am about to pull my hair out!!! Please help!!!

New Application

The application is called Vtap. You can view youtube videos, google videos, web cam videos, or any of the available video source online and it will format it for your device. It also has wikipedia. Just google vtap and give it a try, or type in your browser www.vtap.com to download for your device.
Wow
Works really good. Thanks for the post.
I think I found ........
I think I found my permanent video source for my wizard. And its free.
Skins
I just change the skin to night sky, and it matches the HTC touch theme. The other colors are classic, pulses aqua. I wonder if we can make our own skins for this app.
this is truly amazing.
Just my opinion after trying vTap that TCPMP route is better. You can go to the actual YouTube site via PIE, just click on the video of your choice and TCPMP plays it. But as I said, just my opinion.
Can you save the videos?
Post software link
I can't do the SMS route and going to vtap.com with my Axim doesn't work either. Can someone post a direct link to download the client software?
Good software. Have a few bugs but works great at my HTC Touch.
Here is the direct link to download: http://vtap.com/alldevices.html#5_ppc
vtap puts two shortcut on my programs list vtap & vtap(1). I remove and re-install and same thing. Just wondering why it places two shortcuts???
Great software. When I click cancel on the video player screen it shuts down the application and I am forced to restart.
Would be nice to filter the results by site (YouTube , BBC ect...)
Really nice piece of software! Seems i have trouble streaming though even on low quality settings, might be the net at my work lol.
Thx for your inform. I will try it!!
http://vtap.com/alldevices.html#5_ppc This link no have WM5 PDA downloads!!
So sad sir!!.

Of course it does its the same for WM5 and 6, the second link to be more exact. And for someone else who asked it is possible to save bookmarks with this program. And for the other gentleman who mentioned the multiple shortcuts in the programs menu I suggest you take a course on file managment with Total Commander. *HINT* Windows->StartMenu->Programs
I installed Vtap but it will not connect to the server and it tells me to try again later. Why does this happen? I use WiFi connection from home to test.
I also have tested it in the hotspot but to my surprise, it works fine in the hotspot. So, is there any port that I need to open or something?
This also happens to AvotMV. When I click the video clip, it just says buffering but nothing happens. Does anyone know what causes this? '
I also have TCPMP installed with the flashvideobundle. But I don't think it has anything to do with this, does it?
Just wanted to say that this program works great!!
this is a great app, i was testing them on my wing and its very cool! thanks alot

CreateDIBfail in HD2

Hi everyone,
my HD2 always has an error call "CreateDIBfail" during play video and check photo in Resco Photo Manager. Despite the error causes the machine cannot run photo and video program anymore and toolbar at the top would disappear, it still can go to key "home". Do you know what is it and how to solve it?
Thanks a lot.

[Q] Watch ESPN app (officially WatchESPN)

Has anyone been able to use the new WatchESPN app successfully? It worked great at first when I was on their 4 hour trial period. Then I successfully added my cable company (FIOS) and when I click on any video, it does nothing. It doesn't even try to load the video.
Working here.
Did you complete your registration via the email sent to you.
do i need subscription or access via cable/satellite to espn3.com to be able to use this app to watch vbideo?
Video quality is still crappy. Unless they come up with an honeycomb version or someone could hack it to work with larger screens it is not that great
I tried, but the viewing size was too small. When I expand it, the picture was half off the screen. I switched to watching on Dolphin browser to watch my football game.
Revisiting this...trying to watch with VeganTab Ginger Edition.
Any video I try to watch that's not on ESPN3 (as listed on the schedule page) just gives me a generic ESPN logo with "error".
Going back to the schedule page gives me a "cannot load user data" message.
When I view the videos marked a ESPN3, I get audio, but the video is a still frame of the first frame loaded.
Anyone have any work arounds?

How to recover damaged video?

Yesterday I recorded videos with my phone. Today I wanted to watch them and I could watch two videos but I couldn't watch the third video. When I try to open it with the Albums app it says that "Cannot play video. Invalid URL." when I try to open it with Google photos app it just says that "Can't play video.". The video is in mp4 format and was recorded with my Sony Xperia Z2 running stock rom and not rooted. The three videos were recorded the same way. How can I recover that video? If you need more details just ask them. Please help!
Its probably not recoverable, that error you got suggests the video was from the web, a URL is usually for a web address. See if there is somewhere online that you were viewing videos on or an app that you may have viewed/downloaded a video in, see if you can view it like that.
can someone help?
If you can't view it then its corrupted, a corrupted video can't be fixed unless you're willing to tear the file open and manually edit each bit so that it shows all the video and audio that you want it to, if you've got a few months to play around with it. You'd have to fix every bit and piece from start to finish to make sure it plays right and shows what you originally recorded. That's no easy thing even for those that do it every day, it takes a lot of trial and error and extensive knowledge, you'd basically be computer generating all the missing pieces then you've got to get it to blend in so that it plays correctly. Its only ONE video, I hope it wasn't a really important one because unless you know how to piece it back together like a forensic scientist its gone for good, but I'm guessing that you don't have that kind of knowledge or you would have already done it, its been this long and you haven't fixed it and noone is answering so I'd say you're out of luck, give up on that ONE video and move on. Just saying I really think you're wasting your time.

ok, I couldn't do anything with it so I haven't wasted my time, but it was a good video, but not so important

Why do photos and videos......

....open in editor mode? The wife’s is the same and the only way open videos so that you have the usual controls is to click the three dots on the bottom right and chose open in video player.
I’m sure it only happened since the last update. If i need to use the editor I will switch to it but that is rear. Can it be forced to open in player at the start?
Best regards,
Considering there are no replies at all, I may not have explained the problem properly.
When I click to open a video, it opens as the first picture. I then have to click the 3 dots on the bottom right to open it in video player (picture 2), that takes me to picture 3. I never before had to go through these steps before, it always used to open in the video player first. Am I the only one with this problem?
Hope someone can help.

I'm trying to understand, why you opening videos via Gallery app.
(i presume it's via Gallery app)
Have you got the Samsung Video Library app also installed.
You have to, to view videos directly.!
Link...
Samsung Video Library - Apps on Google Play
You can browse and play video content.
play.google.com
All you do is, open video directly from this app. Even hover S pen over video to get preview video.
See screenshots
Good luck.

The reason for that is because I always opened it from galley and it had, till recently, opened in video player, which is Samsung Video Library. Also, if you have any videos in the secure folder, you have no choice of opening it in video player unless you go through the extra clicks. That is the reason for looking somehow to force videos to open in Samsung Video Library from gallery as it used to do. Hope that makes sense.
Thank you to taking time to answer.

Thanks for explaining. I understand.
For me the Samsung Gallery app (video)
is now intended (actually been, quite some time now) if you either want to edit a video or set a video as Lockscreen wall.
Bottom line,
as i see it Samsung does not actually see Gallery app, as video player, as such....anymore.!
Only linking it (hiding) access in Gallery app settings.
So your choice is,
either use the Samsung Video library or bear the extra taps.!
Good luck.
