[Q] video player problem - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After searching around on xda forums and here, I've not seen this subject brought to anyone's attention, unless ive not looked deep enough. I don't know if its something im doing wrong or if its specific to sgs but when ever i try viewing online videos like m.tvcatchup or tv shows stream on the stock external player more times than not it comes up with video cannot be played. I had hoped that maybe froyo and subsequently gingerbread would have corrected the problem but on both my 2 sgs and stock roms on all versions and darkys roms have come up with the same problem. Id like to know if anyone else has had that problem or if its something a dev may be able to look into and maybe correct a fault if there is one. after talking to the mods at m.tv they assure me its nothing wrong with there side of things and they've only heard of the sgs having problems. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Android problem.. need expertize

I have a samsung gt i7500 but I'm sure the problem is android related.
After playing around with some roms and one time when I called someone he did not hear me and I didn't hear him, it worked only with the microphone and the headphones it came with. From there on reinstalled all possible roms versions and default versions and I always have the same problem.
Also I noticed that if I try to play music on the speakers I can't hear it.
Today I installed a new rom and saw the music DID work before making a call. But after the call with no voice/sound the speakers music didnt work any more either.
At one samsung shop a guy told me that he can't fix it but the internal drivers/software components are of different versions.
I think it might be the phone.tar file with an amss file inside that is ****ed up.
Any ideas? hoping someone can help
I don't know why are you making assumptions out of nowhere ("Android related"?), why you're blaming the OS for your messing with ROMs (everything worked before, didn't it?), and why are you posting on Nexus forum, when someone from Samsung forums would have much higher chances of knowing something about this problem.
Other than that - supposing that i7500 is like other current high end phones and has separate baseband CPU and apps CPU, I suppose you're running a corrupted / wrong radio build.
How can I check the radio built?
Settings => About
Look at the baseband version.

[Q] Browser crashes watching certain flash video

Hello,
I have had my nexus for about 5 months now and really love the phone.
One big feature that I use is flash video online and I watch streamed TV channels. A few months ago, when 2.2 was originally released I was able to watch any stream I cam across.
However, within the last month, certain video stream will result in my phones browser crashing immediately. The browser does not force close, and there is no error message, just immediately booted back to home screen.
The funny thing is, 2 of my friends who have the HTC desire, are unable to view the same streams. The browser crash is 100% repeatable without fail.
I am currently running STOCK 2.2, with stock recovery, stock (non-korean) radio, stock everything. I reverted entirely to stock from CM6 to see if it would fix my problem but it has not. I have tried CM6, Enomther, Kang and stock roms, Tried the froyo 4.06 radio and the Korean 5.08 radio, all of which have the exact same behavior.
A specific stream that does not load for me (there are others) is The Poker Channel, over at atdhe.net
I have tried both OnDemand and always on for flash settings but nothing seems to help.
If anyone has any ideas or also experiences these problems I would love to hear it. If you need more information or a video of the problem I can provide whatever is needed. I desperately would like to fix this problem.
I have been having the exact same issue with Justin.tv streams it was working when I was on the beta flash and right after the official flash was released. Very recently I want to say two weeks it crashes my browser. The only thing I can think of is maybe its being blocked from there end? I also tried wiping and installing the beta again and same crash

Well that is good news and bad news Im sorry to hear you have the same issue but its nice to know I am not alone.
I would like to get it fixed but I have no idea how to go about it. I have tried almost everything I can think of, including changing User Agent and all that stuff.
If anybody reads this, Is anybody able to watch the Poker Channel from atdhe.net on your phone? Other channels dont work as well, I dont even like poker, but I know that channel is a for sure browser crash for me.
So there is a new flash update that I just downloaded on my phone. Flash Player 10.1.95.1. This seems to have fixed my problem 100%, as every flash channel now works flawlessly.
If only I didnt revert everything back to stock... hahah At least I am happy to have my issue resolved.
I made sure mine is up to date and it still doesn't work it might be my build

Actually I came back to post that upon going through more channels I find that some still don't work. A majority of the ones that didn't work now do work but I still experience some channels on atdhe that crash my browser immediately. This is while using stock 2.2 still.
That changes my thoughts a little knowing your on a stock build it might be a problem with the stream itself I notice it does it only on Justin.TV streams the ones work great still

I had the same issue today. I was trying to watch a steram from atdhe which I'm pretty sure is linked to Justin TV. Just keeps crashing my browser .
Another issue I've had is watching Colbert report on CTV's and comedy centrals website. The audio plays in slow motion but the video plays normal. Everything else on those sties work for me.
I'm using CM6 nightly build.

[Q] Question: AT&T Captivate Audio + GPS Help!

Hello all!
I'm a newbie here on the forum so forgive me if I ask a silly question...
I just got my Captivate from At&t for christmas and tho I love the device I do have a few issues I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me with. I've searched for answers for a while, and though I've found a lot of resources, I'm not quite sure what's the best way to achieve the results I want. I'm not much of a programmer so I'm hesitant to tear into re-coding anything, which seems to be fairly common with customizing the Andriod systems
1. - I purchased the OEM car mount, and tho it wasn't mentioned on the site, anywhere, I'm sure everyone is aware that the Audio Out on the mount doesn't work unless you're running Froyo 2.2 (a lovely note they decided to add on the back of the mount but not anywhere in the specs online).
Regardless, it's quite a nice mount and after researching online I tried to do the Froyo Update posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282 : to get the audio out to work with the mount... however it wasn't a success.
I also came across the issue with this update that the headphone jack on my handset wouldn't work with phone calls anymore...
So since then I have reset my system to stock using the Odin Master Clear.
Now, I've tried searching online for anything about getting the OEM Car Mount audio-out to work... but have yet to come across anything besides people complaining about the cost.
Any ideas?
2. - I have noticed the stock system's GPS is a bit sluggish and not quite as accurate as I had hoped. I know there are tons of posts on here to fix it but most of the ones I've read require rooting the device or reworking the coding...
Could someone please point me to an easy to read reference for fixing the GPS?
3. - This may be simple but, what's the best and easiest way to remove At&t bloatware?
4. - Is there a hack or app to enable the camera shutter button to work off the power button or volume buttons?
That is about all. Thanks for reading if you've made it this far. I appreciate any help or direction anyone might be able to give me.
Like I mentioned earlier... I've been trying to research how to do these upgrades on my own, but with all the different options available, and my first attempt not working so well... I'd much rather ask for help then bumble around and break something.
Thanks in advance!!
Nobody's got anything?
I'd at least think there'd be some insight on the Car Mount Audio issue... beings there's posts and posts of people complaining about it yet I haven't read of a ROM or tweak to fix it.

[Q] CM7 Wav playback problems.

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble playing back certain Wave files. I've tried poweramp, winamp and doubletwist. While most of my other Wavs work, I have a particular one that has a really static sound at regular intervals and another that cuts out half way through. I can't understand these issues since my PC plays them fine. Yes I have tried copying them several different times, so it's not a file corruption issue.
Please help!
it could be a compatibility issue from cm7. take screenshots of it and upload to cm7 issue list, i do not think much can help on this. and I think cm7 cannot play .avi files too.
Can you attach the file here so that we can try it on our phone?
Hey sorry about the slow reply guys, I was ill on the day I was going to reply and then royally screwed up my phone trying to get the Doc Rom beta working. I'm sorry, but I don't think I can place the song up here. It hasn't been released to the general public, I'm just lucky and know the sto artist. I do have some more information, I tried it on 2.2 stock and it worked perfectly. I couldn't try it on 2.3.3 stock unfortunately, so I'm not entirely sure whether it is an android 2.3 bug or whether it is a Cyanogenmod bug. I'm using the Miui rom now, which I might add is amazing! However the audio problem is still there, probably since it is based on CM. I might have to convert to Flac in the meantime, which isn't that bad because then I'll have some meta data!

[Q] Videos won't play (M7)

I have a Sprint HTC One M7 which is S-Off and WAS rooted/on a custom rom. Why emphasize WAS? Because recently I've developed a strange issue. Any/ALL stock Sense based rom refuses to play stream videos, YouTube videos or any other videos in general. I have searched the issue up online and not one matching case on XDA. Other sources solutions are ridiculous. The funny thing is that videos play 100% fine on any AOSP based rom. This device is not currently connected to Sprint at all, only WiFi, same issue on any WiFi network I try. Oh, back to the emphasis on WAS, I have tried to factory reset, wipe internal storage, and finally, flashed an RUU and took OTA updates up to official Sense 6 and still no luck.
I have read some complications due to Google Movies app but I don't use or touch that app at all, regardless, how is it possible that that app is to interfere specifically with STREAM videos out of all videos sources? And how come it gives no issues on non-Sense based roms?
Any reasonable suggestions/solutions will gladly be THANKED.
SOLVED: Weird, I updated all Google Play apps and it seems to be working. Or it mayjust have been the Youtube online mobile site causing problems instead. I did indeed experience problems with video streaming on websites other than YouTube on other Sense roms, but in the case of returning to stock, it seems to have been a simpler issue
I was wrong, started happening again randomly with all videos again...this is hopeless.

Yeah its annoyingly random. I had to jump back to a custom aosp-based rom in the meanwhile. It was working again then it just stopped. I wanted to stick to a Sense based rom as the battery life is very promising. For now i have chosen Beanstalk for its stability/battery life as my temporary choice. I just wish I knew what causes it. Doesnt sound like any Androud virus I've ever heard of, and I've never actually heard of an android virus except something about rootkits.

My theory is that there's something wrong with the libs on a Sense ROM, that makes it incompatible with the newer versions of YouTube. Might be wrong though, since I'm not a developer. Also, since it happens randomly >.>.

Its not just YouTube its actually...everything. Netflix, MTV app, YouTube, both stock web browser and Chrome when streaming videos, the list goes on. I didnt get to test what happens with videos played from the internal storage though...
