[Q] H.264/Recording Failed - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im having a problem recording/watching videos & listening to pandora on my captivate any ideas???
continuum 3.1.1 Froyo 2.2.1 rooted

You need at least 340 total ram to play and record hd files. Check and make sure your rom supports it, as some custom roms don't.

i have 340 total ram what else do u think it could be?
it's like hit or miss sometimes it works sometime it doesnt

Try using task manager to clear out the used ram before starting a video.....
Could be an app you have hogging resources.

im still having the problem! is anybody else have a problem similar to this?

Flash back to stock, see if it still does it. If not, then root. Check your recoding again. Every time you change something, check recording playback.
Did the problem just start, meaning you could do it before, but not now?
Cezar is up to v4 for Continuum, maybe you just need to upgrade.

thanks for your help. no this start with the audio (wav. & Mp3) not working all the time. like my ringtone would switch to silent etc. but i fixed that by converting the files to .ogg files. & now the audio & video are doing this youtube stops working as well as pandora my music player video player & video recording. it start on JI6 so i switch to KB1 & now on continuum 3.1.1 Froyo 2.2.1 rooted & both do it idk whats going on. what do u think?
P.s. if i reboot my phone it all works again! it's really weird.

Agree with previous poster. Sound like you have an app hogging resources. I would still recommend my advice from my previous post. It will isolate the prob.

so you don't think its something with the phone more like the rom or an app?? right

What kernel are u on? Some kernels sacrifice 720p recording for some extra RAM.

2.6.32.9 speedmod k13c
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

There are 2 different speedmod kernels for download. One is called big memory, and you lose 720 recording. Dont know about theaudio part.
Look, you can randomly replace this and that, prob take a few days to go through everything you can think of. If you take a scientific approach to troubleshooting, it may take a couple of hours, but you should find your answer as to why these things won't work. It's not fun, but it is the best way I see you being able to stove this problem.
If you disagree, that's fine. This is just my opinion on how to solve this problem.
Good luck, I really hope you find your answer, even if you choose a different path to get it.

Thank you so much for ur help I've been tryin things for days that y I posted a question. I dnt think its the kernel because it did the samething with stock kb1 I really thing its am app but dnt know which one its weird because its audio & video & if I run a benchmark test I get a h264 decorder error & it locks up

To clarify, when I said flash to stock,i meant 2.1 stock. You should be able to upgrade to 2.2 through kies(make sure sim card, external sd are removed before flashing and upgrading). But, if it every thing works on 2.1, and you want to flash a rom, skip the 2.2 upgrade. Then follow directions onhow to flash from the first page of the f rom thread.

[Patch] 32m Heap Size, + True Streaming Audio Fix

http://adrynalyne.stfuthxbye.net/n_patches/stagefright2.zip
So far, I have been given the thumbs up on this. I compiled it earlier today from aosp.
You can read about the fix here:
android.git.kernel.org Git - platform/frameworks/base.git/commit
This should work for any Froyo leak 2 based rom. Make a Nandroid backup, of course. If using on any other rom, use the patch from the SECOND post (and revert build.prop changes to stagefright stuff, if you made them).
Phone neutral Froyo patch:
http://adrynalyne.stfuthxbye.net/test_patches/stagefright.zip
Tested on Droid Incredible and Moto Droid.
thanks adrynalyne
Thanks much appreciated
So only changes are audio and heap size?
Just loaded it. Thanks
Right. The second post has just audio changes.
Thanks for this!
Is this built into any of your roms yet?
Its only been out 30 minutes.
Thanks a lot adrynalyne.
Thank you sir. your work is really appreciated.
Edit: should I say: your works are really appreciated.
So froyo roms based on the first leak is second post while froyo roms based on latest leak is first post? Just want to clarify
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes. Also, if you made any changes to your stagefright stuff in your build.prop, you need to change it back.
WOW!!!
-first test: 64kbps AAC+ songs on my internal memory using stock HTC music player sound like they used to sound on 2.1. patch seems to work.
-second test: XiiaLive still won't play my AAC+ streams. i think this is the app blocking all AAC+ streams to 2.2 phones. is there a way to trick the app into thinking im on 2.1? can i simply alter the build prop to accomplish this?
-third test: Pandora over 3g sounds just as crappy as it normally did on 2.1. lets face it, pandora's sound quality isn't anywhere near audiophile quality. it definitely no longer sounds broken though, so the patch works.
-fourth test: Slacker radio no longer sounds broken either, on 3g it sounds just as crappy as it did on 2.1. it's not audiophile quality either, but it's not broken. patch seems to work.
i got one more app to test.
EDIT:
test five: MOG will play roughly 2:15 of a song and then skip to the next. this sucks because i pay $10 a month for this app and i really like it. i am thinking this is a problem with the app though. seems as though it doesn't like 2.2 and the whole stagefright thing.

Stagefright is the media framework that Google included in Android 2.2. All media apps use it to decode music. So, yes, you do need it if you've been affected by the audio bug.

As it all that static and jumpieness (don't think that's a real word) in the music? OK will do. Thanks!
Thank You!!
Slacker appears to sound better (won't know for sure until I'm in the car), but twice now a song has ended prematurely. I don't know at what time marks, but I'm watching more closely now. Also, I'm testing streaming currently over 3G and will be testing cached stations in a bit.
Unfortunately, the last two songs have played to completion. Fortunate, actually, but making me watch music times even longer. Ah well, it's all in the name of science! My boss will understand!

Fixing YouTube app?

I'm just wondering whether anyone else is as frustrated as I am with the YouTube app included on the captivate. I always click on "more" and change it to "watch in high quality" whenever I pull up a video.
Is there some sort of workaround that could fix this? And by fix of course I mean change the app to always pull videos down in high quality.

You can flash the JH2 or JH3 ROM and it has a HQ button right on the front so it is an easy 1 click to load the HQ video, Or you can connect to a wireless connection and it will always load the HQ version..
I installed the default Youtube app from the Droid X or something that allows for you to set the high quality setting as default and includes the HQ button on the screen as well. Been working fine for me; but as always, buyer beware.
question, did you delete the original youtube app before installing this?
I'm leaning toward this option of installing another version of youtube. I'm rooted, and running Titanium backup and have used droid explorer and all. I would also like to know whether I need to uninstall the default youtube, because I've backed up and deleted the AT&T apps as recommended in another thread, but I haven't seen or tried reinstalling something once uninstalling using titanium backup. (Is that a paid version benefit?)
I don't really like the idea of flashing my rom just yet. I've had the phone about a month now, and am still a little jumpy with my new toy. Maybe in 6 months I'll be running cyanogenmod or something, but not just yet.
As far as connecting to a wireless network or just telling it every time to download in HQ, my problem is this: I'm not always near wi-fi, and it seems really hypocritical of the nation's fastest 3g network purveyors to make us watch underwater vaseline-glasses youtube videos when their network speeds support HQ viewing.
Thanks for the quick replies! XDA's great!

I just installed it right without removing the original since I figured it was just like updating the application. I think it prompts you that the older version will be removed and replaced by that one anyways.

Interesting, I just have the stock Youtube app and whenever I pull up a video and go to Menu, it shows "Watch in Normal Quality," which I assume means I'm already watching in HQ. I don't remember changing anything though...

When you are connected to wifi, it will default to the high quality setting. When you are connected to 3g, however, it will switch to normal/low quality mode. I'm assuming this is the case right now.
sometimes the buttons on the widget don't work properly :T.. and i have JH3 @[email protected]

Regarding restoring an app after uninstalling it, I have been trying to do the same thing. It seems as if it wont restore simply from a backup. I am running the free version also so maybe it is a paid benefit.

[Q] sgs crash while playing music and screen locked

I just installed gingerbread xxjvk 2.3.3 on my galaxy s and then wanted to listen some music. but when i locked my screen my phone totally crashed and needed to hold the power button to reset. I tried it while playing from internal and external storage. and with eq on and off. i found out it didnt crash while browsing my storage and clicking a song and then play it. it only crashes if i search and play a song in the player itself. Plz help me i need my music
greetings jaap from the netherlands
I assume the music player's version is not prepared for gingerbread or that beta firmware has a problem with the way your player wants to search/open a file. Try a different one, for example PowerAMP is a great player!
It works. but i get an annoying clicking sound while playing sounds. i tried winamp to but it has the clicking sound to. So i solved one problem, and the next one appears
Trials and tribulations of running non stock/beta firmware i am afraid .

Where can i get the original rom from galaxy s?
samfirmware.com has all the official firmwares you may need. by the way in my opinion go for a cooked froyo firmware with speedmod or voodoo kernel as they have significant improvements over sound quality via voodoo app from market (needs compatible kernel) and also they're more stable.
This happens on my HD2 as well when sound is distorting due to to loud and gain. Maybe this helps in finding a solution in Gingerbread for this issue. Great rom though!
Fat.

ok so since im new to the thrill to and soon to get rid of it because of the development/community i can only try to help with your question about the 3d button, you can remap it to open the camera but i think thats about it maybe while i have some time ill see if i can mess with the settings a bit more to see if shutter can be remapped as well but check this link out here
The radio will fc every time, unless you have head phones plugged in and Bluetooth turned on. Do that before you open the app. As for the videos, what format are they?

m4a, 3gp, avi none are working atm, it just says loading and it never does, if i download another video player it works, but i need the stock one bc i havent found a non stock one that allows you to change the 3d settings where the image becomes one, instead of the whole double image deal. As for the 3d button and radio i will try after i get off work and let ya know thanks for the responses

[Q] Audio missing from end of YouTube videos

Hi,
I've got a problem with the last few seconds of audio missing at the end of YouTube videos.
I'm using Flash version 11.1.111.43, the last one available for CM7.2. The CM7 is edowar's from a while back, with kernel 2.6.32.9.
The audio is missing during the first playback of the video. But if I then rewind the video and play the last few seconds again, the audio plays as normal.
It happens with all the browsers I've tried, including Dolphin, Opera Mobile, and the stock browser.
Please could someone provide a solution. I'd rather not upgrade to CM10 as I'm happy with the setup on this phone. But I watch YouTube videos a lot, and having to rewind the last few seconds each time is becoming tedious, so if I have to upgrade to CM10, I will. Ideally, I would just like to alter Flash in some way.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jacko
If anyone is still using edowar's CM7.2, or indeed any CM7.2, please could you check a short YouTube video in your web browser, using a desktop user agent, and let me know if there is audio all the way to end?
This would help me to know whether or not there is something wrong with my setup.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Jacko
Well, at least I've learned that I'm the only one still watching YouTube on CM7.2.
I hope the gains from CM10 have been worth it for those of you who have upgraded, such as it being faster, more stable, and perhaps even that the FM radio and HDMI work.
Personally, I have always doubted that this phone could handle anything heavier than CM7 (which it only just manages to do with selective use of Autorun Manager, or something similar).
Or, I could just be in the wrong forum. But asking either Google or Adobe about a non-supported operating system running on an old, unpopular device, just doesn't seem worthwhile.
Anyway, I'm off now to kill this browser process and clear the various caches, before I crank up Aqua Mail to wade through some spam.
See you all later,
Jacko
Your not the only one using cm7.2 as am also a big fan. Most of us don't come here often, hence the delay in replying.
Well currently am using cm7.2 blackace by gundul which is ultra stable n fast with efficient multitasking capabilities.
It was also ported from edowar I think cos it came with his kernel as default.
You could give it a try, I can guarantee you that that Rom is the best in this forum so far.
Also u could try abens cm7.2 kernel to over come sod. Also CKs new kernel rocks this Rom really well.
Hope you find all these info useful.
Thanks for the reply. Whilst I appreciate it, my question was about YouTube and the Flash plugin cutting off the the last few seconds of audio on CM7, rather than which other CM7 ROMs I could change to.
Are you saying that audio does not stop early at the end of YouTube videos on your CM7 ROM?
If audio plays all the way to the end for you, which version of the Flash plugin are you using? You can find this out at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
Your post on other CM7 ROMs may still be useful if I do have to change my ROM. But I would rather not go to the trouble unless I was sure that it would solve my YouTube audio problem.
Regards,
Jacko
many of my friends love this rom, so I made another improvement :beer:

If anyone else wishes to ignore my original question and instead talk about different CM7 ROMs, then go for it.
But I would rather talk about audio with the Flash plugin and YouTube on CM7, if you don't mind.

if your rom have problems..very difficult to fixed . because they have to learn about android rom and not just from the flash player,youtube and other 3rd party apps..
i like master edowar rom... need more times and more peoples to tes rom problems.. you can join in development to improve your rom.

All I wanted was for someone to confirm whether or not the audio plays all the way to the end of YouTube videos in CM7.
Can someone with CM7 please try a YouTube video and tell me if the audio plays all the way to the end, or if it stops a few seconds early?
You don't have to tell me how to fix it, but PLEASE can you just test ONE YouTube video.
Thanks,
Jacko
