[Completed] Verizon HTC One M8 Media Playback Issue - XDA Assist

So a few days ago something very weird happened to my phone. I opened up YouTube to listen to some music while on the bus and got a weird error saying "There was a problem playing, tap to try again". So I tapped and the same error came up. I gave up and went to my Google play music app and found that no music will play. Later I went on Baconreader, Snapchat, and Facebook where I can't watch videos and can't take videos on Snapchat. I can take pictures on Snapchat but not videos. When I click on a story the story closed as if I quick tapped to skip the video. Also if anyone calls me I can't hear them talk, I'm not sure if they can hear me though. So far I tried updating my software which I have been avoiding for about a week, no solution. I tried clearing my entire cache, didn't fix it. I really really really don't want to restore my phone because I really hate doing that and having to deal with it. And so far Google hasnt been much help. Can anyone give any insight to what's happening here? Also, the phone is not rooted and no custom roms, stock.

[Q] HTC Watch - Unable to download the license error

Hi all -
I receive an error when trying to watch a rented movie using the HTC Watch feature on my AT&T One X.
I'm able to purchase and download the movie completely, then after pressing play and agreeing to start my rental period, I get an error Unable to download the license. I found someone with a similar problem posted a video of the error on YouTube (I can't post the link, but the clip is titled VID_20120412_113030.mp4).
I called HTC and all they suggested was deleting my account and re-registering. This didn't correct the problem.
One final point - my phone is rooted and I didn't try to play a movie before rooting...so perhaps that is the problem? I could try to unroot, but I really don't want to see that 3 dot menu again!
Any thoughts/ideas as to how or why this is happening? Would rooting the phone cause this problem? It's disappointing because there are some decent bargains on HTC Watch.
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem on mine, did you get a fix?
Same problem, no fix!
I had the same problem. Interestingly, the app (HTC Watch) worked a few times, before I started getting the dreaded "Unable to Download License" message. After exhaustive phone conversations with HTC, I was still unable to solve the problem. I tried the following to rectify: (1) I deleted all data and cache. (2) I opened a new account under a different email address. (3) I factory-reset my phone. NOTHING WORKED!
Finally, I was so frustrated that I exchanged my phone for another at the T-Mobile store (with a new SIM as well). The app worked! However, after a couple of weeks, the very same problem occurred and has remained until this day. I'm pulling my hair out!
If anybody at all has any idea how to fix this, please help!
I'll bet it's rooting. Google Play Movies don't work for the same reason.
I've had 2 emails & 3 phone conversations with HTC helpdesk folks over the past 3 weeks, and at the end of the day, they don't know why I'm getting the error.
They did mention the "HTC Watch Department" recognizes this is an error experienced by other users as well, but at the moment they have no way of correcting it.
They also said they'll let me know if/when the issue is resolved. I'll post here if I hear back from them.

Super video floating video issues

Is anyone having issues with this app. I am getting constant error everytime I try to play a video. Not sure if the new YouTube update or the app update caused issues..
Just wondering if others are seeing this. I emailed the dev but have not heard back yet.

I sometimes get that , certain youtube videos not playing, i always assumed it was some sort of license/drm bollocks, as they worked on the browser no problem, but the vie3os i try playing that doesnt recieve an error message still play for me, although im noticing a performance decline,.
Ive updated the app itself about twice now with the performance decline still there, but not sure if thats the cause in my case, as ive also recently started somewhat tweaking my tab i.e. rooting, droidwall, disabling apps.........thats pretty much it at the moment, dont suppose you've been doing any of these things recently, just to rule it out?
Im also noticing that the stock browser isnt loading pages as quickly as it used to(sometimes it does, sometimes it hangs for a bit), but that may be a seperate issue, which may just affect my particular setup, but worth asking again, to rule things out
Gd luck with that either way, and let us know if you find a solution to your particular problem, heres one guy who'd be interested in knowing if there is a fix for that
Thanks for the reply.
I am completely stock and dont have the pulled OTA either.
The super video has been working fine for the the month that i had it never once getting an error for any youtube vids. I havent use it for a few days and than today i noticed an error when trying to use it. I know it just updated the app and youtube app. not sure if that caused it. But ant be a coincidense. i even went back to play vids i played before on it from links and they dont work. but if you open the super video app i can play the couple short test vids i did with the note that are stored on the note.
no issues with the stock browser.

Thanks for the feedback on the stock browser, i guess thats something i need to figure out on my particular setup, gonna wait for jellybean and see if a wipe and factory reset fixes things, before instaling apps and light tweaking, hopefully point me in the right direction to the culprit
super video not playing you tube vids anymore

Google Services connectivity issues

Hey guys. Really need some help here. I woke up this morning with google services connectivity issues. For some reason I can only connect to the play store, retrieve email in Gmail, refresh my files on drive etc while on wifi. While on LTE i get no connectivity at all. Other apps work fine. I can browse and stream on chrome, check gmail via chrome, use other apps etc. I have not the slightest idea what is causing this issue.
a huge percentage of my usage is with Google Music, i am a subscriber to all access. I am really sad that i have no tunes now, only the songs that are cached to my phone will play while on my mobile network.
I cant even send or recieve messages via the hangouts app. Ugh!
I am on a rooted Nexus 5 currently running aokp kitkat nightly 2014-04-18
I am really frustrated as I am sure you guys can understand. Any assistance/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide to help you guys give me some advice.
Thanks!

i have the issue as well. found out several minutes after it started, as i noticed something keeping my device awake. looked, then realized it was trying to sync but couldnt. then play store and hangouts wouldnt work, so i realized it was a google issue.
Good to see this post. I was just starting to think it was just me or t-mobile. I was only abel to get connected to google services by wifi. but what did help me was to turn off and on airport mode to force it to re-sign into the cell tower with a new connection. But I think google has fixed the problem by now. So far google services are working fine with my cell connection.

[Q] How to know if im affected by mobilespy android keylogger?

Im having a doubt that my smartphone is being keylogged by this thing called mobilespy android keylogger. Everyone is watching everything I do with my smartphone including the photos I take and save, facebook and whatsapp messages( both incoming and outgoing) and even the music I hear. My friends are responding to whatever I do by uploading photos in fb, whatsapp and through status updates in both. I dont want to get rid of this keylogging. I just want to get the details of this keylogging like whoever it is senting to and any proof to show them. Because I want to catch them red-handed. Please help!!
I posted about this issue in xda several months ago, but this thing called mobilespy never came to my mind. Thats why Im asking. Also, I want to know this thing works in safe mode too? Please help!
Help me!
It is hard to tell since some mobile spy app like mobile spy, spyfone app and iKeyMonitor are totally invisible. But you can restore your phone to get rid of such apps if you suspect it.

Help me![/QUOTE
Here is my professional advice based on several facts:
You joined XDA in October 2014; posted four messages about being spied on and keylogged on Android; have had and continue to have numerous issues being hacked/taken over; you use firewall and other android apps to no avail; all other non android equipment works fine for you. So, Android is "definitely" the culprit.
Here is the advice: ask for a raise from Mr. Cook or better have him make you the chief of Apple's propaganda department...

Dont let your afraidness take you over!
Go and make a factory reset of your phone.
Next time buy a blackphone and you and your mind have peace...
All the best!
