[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!

Honor 8 EMUI 5 Android 7.0 Gyroscope problems

Hey everyone,
I bought the Honor 8 this week and immediately got the Nougat update. I'm now on build number FRD-L09C432B360. Everything is working fine, except for the gyroscope which is going crazy. I've done a forum and google search, but the only other evidence of this is on youtube.
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks, Penny

I got the same problem, reverting to any Android 6 rom fixed the problem

I don't have this issue

Hello,
It seems that the giro is going crazy (spining) when using google cardboard or google street view.
I downloaded a giro, accelerometer app to do a diagnosis and they seem fine.
When using cardboard design lab app or Caribbean VR app everything seems fine.
Is there any fix for google cardboard on Honor 8 ?
I have a Honor 8 model FRD-L09C432B380
EMUI version 5.0
Android version 7.0

Hello all,
it's a software bug in Honor's EMUI. Please refer to this thread to fix your issue (post #8):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/auto-screen-rotation-bug-t3531119
Deactivating some settings in 'smart assistance' should fix your issue. I only kept Smart Key activated and now everything is working perfectly!

I deactivated all smart screen functions.
Performed cache drive wipe.
The issue persists.

Hi
just discovered this issue on my honor 8 when I wanted to try a VR headset (google cardboard for example)
I noticed this bug in snapchat on some filters going crazy spining all around
I think there is a missunderstood here with 2 different issue : The one that could be solved by deactivating "smart screen" option is only about landscape rotation I think
The issue of this thread is about VR apps, Youtube VR vids (after you clic on carboard icon), and every kind of app using the 360° + cardboard functionnality of the phone.
(Google street view 360 is ok for me since you can't set it for cardboard, as Youtube VR vids are OK until you clic on cardboard button)
I hope any update will come, but it looks like there is not a lot of people who noticed this issue since it is the only thread I found.
What I tried :
- disabling all smart screen options + wipe cache from recovery menu (non rooted)
- accelerometer calibration
- gyroscope calibration
nothing worked
edit : some apps are working i don't know how and why :
Gravity Pull VR (goes crazy but get fixed by deactivating / activating orientation)
Titans of Space Cardboard VR
ParisVR / CaribbeanVR / ...
Cardboard Design Lab

Still there
Any news on the subject ? I have the same problem.

Try installing Google VR Services from Playstore.

You just gave me the answer to my problem! I've been fighting the screen auto rotation issue for a week. Thank you!

I've not been able to get stable VR either, tried on cardboard. Installing VR services didn't help. I gave up when I couldn't get the spinning bug fixed.

I've installed the Google VR services but the bug is still there with Google Cardboard.
But on Caribbean VR that works as intended.
The problem seems to be that Google Cardboard thinks that the smartphone is vertical so it's spinning constantly as it does in youtube 360 when it is vertical or that the motion to turn left or right is always triggered ....
I've also tried Trinus VR and the same problem appears.

Just got the phone today, ran all updates and having the same issue with 360 youtube videos en some vr apps. Anybody found a solution?

Anybody got this problem reported to Honor?

Anyone found out which Google camera port and which Netflix apps work on Oreo now?
Thanks

This version of Netflix works netflix-4.16-200147-release.apk
Just uninstall the stock one.and there's already moded Google camera that works too.https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/....20_7.0H_C2API_v.4.0_AllinOne_Full_Manual.apk

I somehow cannot see any improvement in image quality with that Google camera app.

The Netflix app version mentioned above is working fine for me on Oreo.
You can find it on APK Mirror, last 4.xx release.

There's an on going issue I have when running the app at 60 90 or 120hz with WiFi on / off and one 4g where the app launches but then the content starts to play and will crash and reboot the phone without errors. If the video plays back more than 10seconds of content then it's fine. I've stummped razer on this as they thought it was buffering but I've had other phones on the same sim card and wireless networks and they don't crash

Are you on the O preview?
Can you provide more detailed information and example steps so that I can try to reproduce it?
Also if possible attach a bugreport zip generated after the crash (in dev settings).

its too random to really replicate i just use the phone normally and then maybe at lunchtime try to open Netflix - The app always opens and lets you navigate and select a video however about 85% of the time when the video is up on screen it will play 1-2 seconds freeze and then restart the phone.
If the video plays longer than 10 seconds then generally it wouldn be a problem.
It happens more often on the 120hz setting but did occur when using 90 and 60 settings but just not as much.
I put so much of my time into troubleshooting the issue however Razer have now told me they are aware of the cause and believe they have fixed the issue in the next system update so assuming its fixed in MR4 and not a Netflix/Network issue.

If you are on N, the issue would be fixed in the O update.

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

Netflix, Chromecast, and Pixel 3

Is anyone else having trouble casting Netflix from their Pixel 3? I can cast YouTube and Google Play fine. Hulu usually works, and if it doesn't, I can close the app, relaunch it, and that fixes the problem. But Netflix will not give me the option to cast. If I do not have my tablet handy, I have to find what I want to watch on the Pixel 3, then ask my Google Home to play it for me. Pretty frustrating, especially if I am trying to watch a specific episode that may not be the next one up for that show. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've looked around on Google, but I've seen nothing but generic responses, like "make sure you are connected to the correct wifi." I am definitely connected to the correct wifi, because I can cast from the other apps, and I can see and connect to my chromecast in the Home app.

I think there's a bug in the Netflix app. I don't have the Cast FAB anymore when I open it. I just start playing it on my phone and then start casting from there.

You get the cast icon once you start playing the video? I will try that when I get home. I thought I had tried that, but it's worth another shot.

Yeah if you tap the screen it shows up at the top like you'd see in YouTube or similar when the video is already playing. It's mildly annoying because if you don't do it quick enough you might have to back up the show a few seconds but it works. I believe it to be an app issue because the same thing has happened to my fiancee who is using a Pixel 2 and it happens to me on my 3 XL.

Netflix
I have the same problem on my Pixel 3 XL. I have to open the Netflix app, start the show, hit the screencast icon, then it just freezes. So I have to close the app, clear it from memory (swiping up from the recent apps screen), then reopen Netflix. After that it works. But I have to go through this procedure every single time I want to watch Netflix. What gives? How can companies as big and successful as Netflix and Google not be able to make an app work with basic functionality?

I have the same issue with every device at home (pixel 3, huawei p10 and Moto X Play). Hope it'll get fixed soon...
