[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!

Crackling Audio Problem

Non-rooted. Not dropped. No water exposure. Since day one.
I have had issues with my sound on my S6. Audio played through the main speaker has a crackling sound whenever audio is played with the SCREEN ON. This applies to videos, music in any app, but NOT when a call is on speaker phone. If I turn the screen off while listening to music, no crackle. Right when I turn the screen back on, crackle. Haven't downloaded any audio equalizers or anything like that. Everything is stock. Tried a reset, a reboot and a cache clear.
I haven't had time to take it into a Verizon store but will before the 14 days is up if no body is able to help.
Thanks in advance.

Did you figure out what the issue was? This is still happening to me!

I have the same problem with my AT&T S6 Active. The issue shows about 30% of the time, yesterday even while playing Clash of Clans, so it can't be the settings, I'm prone to think it's a driver issues. I also experience problems with the camera where if I haven't used it in a while it will shake, trying to image stabilize for around 3-5 seconds. Another issue I have is with trying to get the screen on, sometimes I will have to push the ON button 5-6 times before the screen comes on long enough for me to swipe my unlock pattern. After having owned a S2 and S4 Active I gotta say I'm extremely disappointed with Samsung. Without even getting into the whole No Removable SD card slot argument. My next phone will be a Nexus.

This issue stopped for me a couple weeks ago after the latest update which includes the application optimization/battery saver. After this the problem stopped, so I am assuming the upgrade ended it, or one of the apps that is now "optimized" was the cause of the problem.

Unfortunately the new update to Android 5.1.1 which I applied 2 weeks ago did not stop it for me. Just the day before yesterday the crackling even happened why my phone played the Alarm Clock tune I had set. It's gotta be a driver problem if it's happening on the Alarm Clock, or maybe even a faulty speaker but it's not happening all the time. Anyway, for this and a lot of other reasons I decided to part way with Samsung on my next phone.

Hi
I have the same problem. Any solution?!

So I ended up calling Samsung about this because it has been driving me nuts. We have narrowed it down to it being third party apps. Having said that, it could also be the setting under display causing the third party apps to malfunction. I went to settings>display> changed from adaptive you AMOLED cinema. I also removed most 3rd party apps from my phone that I downloaded in the past week. I haven't had the issue come back yet. Fingers crossed!

This is a display issue. Go to settings, display, change screen mode to anything BUT adaptive. Adaptive screen mode is not compatible with many 3rd party apps. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately System Ui has stopped

I just installed the stock rom for xt1550 this right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/201...m-stock-motorola-6-0-1-rom-optimized-t3355938 So The Problem Is Now Whenever I Am Trying To Launch any app in full screen(landscape) I get unfortunately system ui has stopped. I used to have CM 13 before this. Any help appreciated I already have tried reinstalling the rom. Did not work though so any more details I will be happy to provide.

Yup

i see the same problem, when playing YOUTUBE in full screen( autoRotate ON), but i comes and goes in random..
numbering it like : 2 times a week hardly
if yours is crashing more than mine, then look for the app or Autorotate which is causing that crash.. !! or is it the memory??
btb, thanks for adressing this.. i thought its common in stock, so didnt post any query about it

For me it happens every time I go full screen, i.e whenever the screen is rotated to landscape. Youtube, MX Player, COC. And that too every damn time not even randomly twice a week or something.

Anyone found solution about this?

YouTube / Video playback Issues for anyone?

Anyone having Video Playback issues like on youtube or Videos from whatsapp.. Few seconds into playing the videos the video gets stuck and quickly the audio and video goes out of sync. Am i the only one with this issue or there are other people too ? if i see more people having this issue i will reach out to HTC.. else will do a warranty replacement for mine.
Note- Phone is not rooted, so no magisk module is present to cause this problem
Update- Sorry forgot to update this info, I had reached out to HTC and as per them one should try clearing app cache and restart. I did clear the cache using various methods including by booting into recovery, that seemed to fix the problem for sometime, though this kept coming back.

I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos since my U11 arrived 1.5 weeks ago and never had this problem at all. Never watched WhatsApp videos yet, as I don't get those very often.

Thanks for your reply, seem like an issue just for me(Unless other people also report the same), will probably need replacement.

The Facebook app has crashed for me several times when trying to play video, not every time though. Haven't had any problems with Youtube or VLC.
All of this sounds like software issues in my opinion, personally I would try first to clear data/cache of all apps affected, uninstalling app updates and reinstalling them and also a factory reset before going for a replacement.

According to HTC the solution is to go to Recovery mode and wipe cache partition, it worked for me.
Here is what i did and the below excerpt is taken from HTC's link which they sent me
With the phone powered off, follow these steps:
Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button while powering the phone on.
Continue to hold the VOLUME DOWN button until the Bootloader screen is displayed.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button until Recovery is selected. Press the POWER button to select.
The phone will appear to reboot and the screen will appear black for 15-30 seconds. When the recovery screen is displayed, follow these steps:
Hold VOLUME UP button and then press and release POWER.
Press the VOLUME DOWN button repeatedly until wipe cache partition is highlighted on the screen.
Press the POWER button to select.
Press the VOLUME UP button repeatedly after the process completes
Press the POWER button to select reboot system. The phone will reboot normally.

Just to chime in, mine lagged and skipped frames and was it was obvious when it happened. I just forward and rewind the video and everything went back normal. Will apply the fix if it becomes persistent.
Thanks for the cache wipe solution, do let us know if your video playback has anymore problem after a while after applying this fix.

Turns out the sound mod I had installed may had been the cause of my lip sync issue. It was the Viper4Android magisk module.

I have EXACTLY this issue, has been like it since I received the phone and before installing any of my own apps. It seems a little intermittent as doesn't happen on ALL videos or streams but does on most, including videos take by the phone itself - really irritating - it's not the app I'm playing back on either as it happens on all three apps installed.
Did you resolve this with the cache clearing method? I would be interested to know if it worked before obliterating my app data.

Clearing the cache partition solved the lip sync issue for me. I didn't notice it before on YouTube. Maybe it was after today's maintenance update, but I can't be sure. Anyway, it's ok now.

I also have this problem.
U11 with 6gb/128gb. I have the problem when I use Google photos to play a video shot with the camera.
If I use VLC to play the video, no problem.
It's quite annoying.

Same issue here. I play videos from websites such as news websites and the sync is terrible. I will try clearing the cache partition and see if there is any difference. It already been factory reset!

I just wanted to chime in that I'm getting the same issue. I'm going to try the cache clearing and I'll let you know if it works. All video tends to be behind by 2-5 seconds, which makes anything beyond music playback impossible.

I think the VLC app may be the culprit here.... I deleted it after I noticed a post here that mentioned it and so far it seems to be working.

I was having this issue too and it drove me nuts. It only started happening recently so I traced my steps and figured out what i did that caused it.
It was the Magisk Module that fixes 60fps video recording and slow motion video for the GCam. Removed that module and instantly YouTube was back to normal.
Hope this helps a few people.

Do you have viper4android installed? It also happens when I have Bluetooth power enabled in v4a

Nope.
I also noticed that in some recorded videos, the sounds ends sooner than the video.
