[Q] Videos not playing anymore from gallery (solved)

Hello!
Weird problem occured today. Any of the videos I have on gallery wont play anymore. When I click the preview image from the video screen just darkens a little bit and then nothing happens?!! When I touch the screen the second time it lightens up again?!
It used to work before. Couple days ago I watched few videos throught gallery which I recorded with HTC desire. When I pressed the preview image a pop up window showed up which asked which player I want to use, either the stock player or MX video player that I also have installed. And it worked just fine no matter which one I used.
Now there is no pop up anymore, it just darkens. And yes Iam trying to watch the same videos which worked before. Even if I record a video with the TF's own camera it wont play it when I try to open it up either from gallery or from file manager.
If I open the MX video player and launch the video throught there it works, but why it doesnt launch it from anywhere else?
Any help is appreciated!
Edit: Stock 3.2 android, so its not rooted.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question...have you tried to restart it? When mine does that I end up having to restart to get things working again. If you have tried that then Im not sure...

Yes I have restarted it.
Man this is getting even more weird. I received email about your reply and when I tryed to press the link from Gmail app which would direct me to this thread screen just darkened again just like with the video. No pop up asking which browser I want to use, it just darkens and lights up when I press the screen again?!?

One other option is this...try rotating the screen and see if the menu pops up for you.
If you have installed any 3rd party browsers, try uninstalling them and see if this resolves your issue. Let me know so I can keep looking for ya if not!

Heh, I think I got it solved now. I unmounted TF from the dock in order to try that screen rotation and decided to see if the email thing works. And it did, so does the videos now! I hooked up it on the dock again and everything seems to be working again.
I didnt even rotate the screen, seems like just unmounting and mounting it on the dock did the trick. Thanks.

No prob man, I noticed when I searched google it was a problem in general with the 3.2 update on a few devices. Glad you got it fixed!

Sorry bro no.
The best thing about this phone is the camera and It's flawless on my end.

Happened to me the other day, it crashed out 3 times, restarted phone, it crashed again then HTC error report came up, sent in and the camera worked.. That was last saturday, hasn't happened again.

why is that so !?
in my view its definitely a software issue, some difficulty between the camera hardware and the software, cuz i tried the restoring to default factory settings and it did work out well, camera started workin but after some time like 4 days same issues again !!!!!!! ??????? plss

have you tried clearing the cache of the camera app?
mine working flawlessly. have no such issue yet.

I had the same problem, first i heard strange sounds from the focus, a mechanic like.
After few reboots and testing suddenly the camera doesn't start.
A lot of reboots later i finished doing a factory reset.
It worked for a day, then again the same problem.
But i find the problem, my camera doesn't work with 8mp settings it auto close, btw with 1920x1080 in camcorder works but doesn't record the video.
I've just remember that problems start after installing lgcamera i think.
EDIT: after trying root without unlocking bootloader (i read it works) following this tuto ww.briefmobile.com/how-to-root-htc-one-x-att now i can use 8mp and full hd video recording. it's annoying
EDIT 2: now it isn't working anymore

the same thing exactly happens to me every time i restart the phone, the cam app opens
makes some strange noise like trying to fucos or something, then the app closes with no error. and when u try that again, after 4-5 times the app doesnt open at all
!!! contacted with htc they said reset the phone, i did but same things again, contacted again and they said go to our store , but my phone is guarantyless cuz i rooted it

Just lock your boot loader and restore stock Rom and you'll be good. A lot of people have traded their phones in this way.

in other forum i read that corrupt video or image can cause the close-app i remove them and also a high bitrate fullhd video and then the cam is working, often the focus noise still

My HTC one S camera crash. Every time I touch the camera icon to open it, the phone reboot itself. I sent several report to HTC, didnt help. And my phone reboot itself several times a day. I did use HTC all in one package to root my phone. Can anyone help me ?

[Q] trying to use camera from lock screen results in crashreboot

I flashed 5.0 onto my Nexus 5 a while back and have been loving it. But there is a MAJOR issue I have encountered.
If, from the lock screen, i swipe to open the camera (I use Google's camera app) then swipe on the charms and select video and press record... i can almost always reproduce an immediate forced reboot it makes me very sad.
I have tried wiping the system cache... i'm not sure what else to do...
any advice?

bumping... been playing around with my N5 more and more and still getting the issue.
I notice that it happens in other camera apps that can take videos as well. Not just google's official camera app.
Also, it does not have to be launched from the lock screen for it to occur. sigh.
there have been a few times where i can get it to successfully record a video... but i can't reproduce it all the time. MOST of the time it crashes my entire phone

Same here. Noticed they pushing 5.01 out... Maybe a fix. I've had every Nexus and early software is allways buggy, IMO

thanks so much for replying. just glad it's not only my phone, you know?
I think I found a workaround until google fixes it. and they better.
if you open the camera and switch it to video mode but BEFORE pressing record, if you toggle the thunderbolt (light) on and off at least once (doesn't matter if you leave it on or on afterwards), then start recording it SHOULD work without rebooting... at least it has so far.

Dont have the issue on mine, i have the ElemantalX kernel though but i dont think that makes a difference

I'm certainly not suggesting the issue doesn't exist, but I cannot reproduce this on my stock 5.0 installation.
That being said, there are seemingly lots of Lollipop bugs that some people get and others simply do not... in my experience that'll probably make them a little more time-consuming to fix.

Well, a little good news... I hope?
I did a flash to 5.0.1 stock and i can't reproduce it anymore. videos record perfectly fine.
now let's give it a week or so of me dicking around with various apps and settings and see how that goes

That's interesting - they must have changed something about the camera then.
I wasn't having the issue you described but I did occasionally get "cannot connect to camera".. fingers crossed it's sorted :good:

Yes sure I tried reboot but nothing changes ?

Is it possible that you have YouTube with resolution optimization on Boost+? Because in my case, for instance, if I set the resolution optimization for Samsung Internet Browser (Beta), it becomes unable to go full screen with its built-in video player.

Thanks for the reply
So what should I do?

I tried one thing
I remove the update from the play store
Its work fine now
Any body facing this problem?

I'm also having this problem, it started happening after the last couple of Youtube update. I tried clearing cache and rebooting many times. Guess we have to just wait till Google start getting their ****s together.

I Update The youtube to the last update
Then the problem come again ?
So I remove it until we get solution for silly problem.

still problem not solve

Z5 problems, share your thoughts and help me

My z5 started to lag a lot. Too much app crashes. Mostly youtube, every day when picture is freezing but audio continue to work and i must go to home screen and then clear all apps and go to youtube again. And instagram not working too often.. Not happy at all with Phone performance. I did everything, factory reset, deleting apps and nothing.. Do you have same problems or somebody have solotion? Phone is just one year old, and it was working fine at start. Pls help i cant buy New right now

This is on stock ROM? Because that's extremely odd and I have no idea how you'd go about troubleshooting. Personally I have no issues with my E6653, rock stable and great performance.
Have you tried flashing a different version of the stock ROM via Flashtool? MM perhaps? At least then you can determine whether it's hardware or software.

I have noticed that as well however YouTube would crash with no warning and show static on the screen, locking up the phone. However I realized that my case was not good at dissipating heat, so my phone would overheat. Removing my case stopped the issue entirely as far as I can tell. See if removing your case helps.
