Unplayable video? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey all, wanted to see if anyone else has run across this problem. I've taken a lot of video and photographs on my HOX so far, and I've Gone back to find out that 4are listed as unplayable. These were taken from the devices camera itself, so I'm a little confused. They seem to have data associated with them, but no duration listed.
Anyone else?

I haven't taken many videos, but everything has played so far.

Low resolution contact pictures

Low resolution contact pictures when syncing with Facebook. This especially occurs when using a stock or cyanogen mod build. HTC sense builds have good res pics when syncing...
Any possible fix? Its bugging me and seems like a fairly simple thing that Google should fix.

+1 this is quite an annoying bug. Can't find a solution yet
Lots of discussion about this in the past.

This has to be worked out by google as the contacts are synced with google server and resolution is cutdown terribly.
Wow I just checked out that link and it looks like this will never be fixed.

How hard would it be to mod the contacts app to support higher resolutions?
I manually did mine because Facebook never seems to stop running resulting in a battery killer so I freeze/unfreeze upon usage. may take awhile based on amount of contacts but no need for contact merging,no more low res photos and no more battery killing due to Fbook
I bought fbPhotoSync from the Market and used it to download high resolution photos for all of my contacts. Worked like a charm.

[Q] At my wits end with Vodafone Sensation...

Advice or help required.
I ordered and recevied a Sensation from Vodafone on the 20th of May, it arrived and overall I was pleased with it. Then I noticed that the audio on video (tried different players and different files) was cutting out after 1m38s. When I skip forward any amount the sound returns for another 1m38s.
I spoke to Customer Services and they suggested I return the phone for a replacement, which arrived today but suffers from exactly the same problem.
I've posted about the problem on here and noticed other people doing so on other forums (including Vodafones) but nobody seems to have a solution as yet.
Do I return the phone and see if the same happens or swap out for something else? I don't want to lose the phone but if I have to wait on a HTC/Vodafone fix I feel like I could be waiting months.
Thoughts?

nope u dont have to return it. Just change the format its recording.
I have had this problem with my own htc device as well.
Just go to the camera setting WHEN its set to record video, and change the format.
Sorry, should've clarified that this is on films encoded as .avi files, rather than video shot on the phone itself.
does this also happen if you encode the movie as a .mp4?
also does this happen using all video players or just the video player that comes shipped with the phone?
have u tried different players?
Tried different players and different files, although both were .avi.

I have the same problem, I use qqplayer and my videos work fine now.
The issue appears to me to be if you use hardware to decode, if you choose software the .avid files seem to play Ok with any player you can change these options, I have not found a way with the stock player yet.

Thanks very much for the qplayer tip, this seems to work with no problems.

Seeing video message sent from a iPhone??

So my buddy just sent me a video via text and when I open it runs but I can't see anything all I can do is hear the audio? Anybody else have any ideas? Is this phone not compatible with iPhone video messages?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
it's their video format...I think...video codec...stuff..
yep, just the way apple wants it. The only way to fully utilize all the iphone features is if all your friends have it too. Facetime, video message, group text massages, etc, etc, etc etc.
I wouldn't hold your breath for iOS and android to play nice together.
hehe
So is there anything we can download to make it viewable? Ive tried several from the market with no luck??

MMS Messages tiny

Hey guys. My MMS Messages aren't working right for some reason. It used to be fine but yesterday 2 people sent me pictures through MMS and neither worked right. One was from and iphone the other was from a One XL. It says the resolution is 23x40 and I can't view them at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm on cleanrom 3.2 if that matters!

Perhaps your phone compressed them really small. My phone does the same thing to pics and makes them small so that that take up only a thumb-sized portion of my screen. Seems to be a problem with HTC.
Sent from my HTC One X
Yeah that's what it does. There has to be a way to fix it though
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Check the senders phones before you go tearing yours apart. It's probably on their side.

are they the same pictures?
No. They were sent by 2 different phones and are different pictures.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
same here. I had two people send me mms from different phones and the picture was thumbnail :/
iPhones are notorious for tiny mms messages
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
It's not just the iPhone there is something wrong with the way our phone handles mms. I had a buddy who has an iPhone and a buddy that has the same one x that I have send me the same picture we found online 5 times and it just seemed like it was every other picture that was messed up.

Has anyone figured out what causes this?
I wonder if the file is being compressed by the network to alleviate network congestion, possibly?
my friend sent me a picture and it was tiny resolution. he resent it, and it was fine.
weird.
stock 2.20 firmware
If you use go sms make sure "preserve image resolution" is checked in settings. Makes a huge difference.

[Q]MMS problems

For some reason every time I get a picture through text from someone it always shows up extremely small to the point you can't even see it. It only started recently and I have no idea why it is doing it. I am rooted but it was doing this way before that. Any suggestions? I've checked the settings for MMS and nothing appears out of the ordinary.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You using a custom rom, or are you running stock rooted?
I have the same issue on CleanROM 5.1 and wasn't sure if it was just this rom or if something else was up.
I'm running cleanrom. It was the first rom I loaded after root. No problems. I swear it is the phone itself...because it did this before root. And after root it worked for a few days I was excited then BAM! Back to microscopic pictures.

i remember reading iin a few other threads around here that its carrier restrictions and is limited to how big a picture can be send through mms and gets compressed, PNG files seem to get compressed alot hence reduces the file size and quality dramatically and causes the tiiny pics.
for me on att ive only noticed this on PNG files everything else goes through fine. running custom roms/stock
Hmm. Yes I just realized one worked from my buddy s3. But it seems to screw up the ones sent from my friends iPhone...talking compressed down to 1kb lol. Literally.

i think that is an issue with the mms compression on the iphone and how our phones uncompress the images. make sure that you have you mms size limit maxed out. and something else you might try is a 3rd party sms app.
Yea I have the option set to max...I figured it was something to do with iPhone. Weird it just started happening. I will try another app but those usually end in people getting multiple text and whatnot. I always use go SMS but people would keep saying "you've sent me the same text twice" ugh.
