Not playing audio/video files

So since Rogers updated us to froyo (yes this is the canadian i896 model) I've been having the problem lately where it just won't play media files anymore.
I'll notice this when I go to watch a youtube video and it'll say "problem playing touch to retry", then I'll go try to play an mp3 and it'll say "cannot support this file type", so I'll check a video and get the same. The pisser is that it won't play notification sounds or ringtones either as it seems to be all connected.
Now these are files that played fine only some time ago, so I dont' know what caused it to stop being able to play.
If I power down / power up the phone things are back to being copacetic. Just a pain as it takes about a minute to power down, and then at least a minute to boot back up.
Samsung suggested i just reset the whole phone - which I'm not enthused to lose a lot of data (some of my programs just don't allow backups).
I've taken the scientific approach and run each of my programs one at a time with after running it, checking it with with a media player to see if it'd stop working. nothing.
I've deleted/uninstalled a lot of programs to ensure it was running on only what i truly wanted. nothing
I just don't want to reset my phone - that would suck.
It just seems to happen at random. Literally I watched a video, put the phone down, went to bed, woke up the next morning and it didn't play. Now who know s what background apps were going on... but how can I control that..
any help/suggestions?

I have the same phone with the same issue
I have a new theory-
I noticed that it happens after I get a notification that my battery is full.
It sounds silly but it's the only thing I noticed that affects it.
I'll keep on testing..

heard the official twitter app causes some issues - uninstall it to fix
i uninstalled - so we'll see if it fixes

Blue screen flicker while watching youtube

Hello everyone, i have a weird problem, everytime when im watching youtube (app) on my SP device, i get every now and then an annoying blue screen flicker which last for like 5 seconds. The weird thing is, that this problem not happens on every Video i watch, like i said above, every now and then, its like random.
Also, what i realized yesterday, after sometime my Phone freeze for like 3 seconds while watching youtube, also the sound gets weird. I dont know what causes the problems, is it, because im still using the stock youtube app version which comes with the phone, do i have to update the app in order to eleminate those problems?
What i already did: factory reset
What im using: Android 4.3 latest, not rooted and BL locked

[Q] Apps "resets" p7, emui 3.0 (b609)

So I just installed the latest update for my P7 v 3.0 (b609), and now apps are kind of resetting while I'm using them.
For example:
- using the camera and if I'm in the settings, after 20-40 seconds the apps resets, goes out of settings and back to camera.
- Watching movies on youtube every 20-40 seconds the movie stops. and I have to start it again.
- watching snaps on snapchat every 20-40 seconds the app resets and goes out of the snap im watching...
Anyone have similar problems, or know what to do about it?
EDIT:
So apparantly i fixed it. Not sure how, but camera no longer resets, I can watch a whole youtube video without interruption, and snapchat is working.
The stuff I did between writing first post and now is, downloaded Root Checker, updating Kinguser, downloaded snapchat again.
Stuff that didn't work: factory reset phone, change screen from 1080 to 720.
Hope this can help others with similar problem, and that I don't get those problems back

Device hangs/reboots randomly + Miracast issues

Hello all,
For some time now I have been having issues with the phone.
Exhibit A) When using e.g. facebook messenger app it will freeze randomly for random amount of time, in some cases if I try to reboot the phone (hold power button for few seconds) the screen would just go blank and wouldn't turn on again, after several seconds in this case phone will reboot by itself. This can happen up to several times a day and is a really tough annoyance to handle. I have tried clearing the cache - situation got better, however issue still persists from time to time. Random "in pocket" reboots also do happen.
Exhibit B) When casting my screen the general video will get laggy and pixelated on movement, audio would break up as well. Tried this with several devices (nVidia SHIELD TV, Panasonic TV, BMW G30)
Phone is completely stock and up to date (OOS 4.1.3)
Any suggestions fellow forum members?
Cheers,
Greq

Is there a solution to this problem? Happens to my wife and me.

Actually, uninstalling Facebook messenger fixed the issue - I switched to messenger lite and device hangs no more
However miracast is still an issue

My Samsung Note5 keeps glitching

Hello guys
For the past 24 hours my phone has been glitching. It suddenly stopped playing all forms of media files. Most social media apps won't open anymore, when I try It just hangs and then shows an error message asking whether I want to wait or close app. YouTube works for a few seconds then freezes. Spotify won't play songs despite having excellent network. WhatsApp and Instagram statuses don't play their videos anymore. Even my native music player is not playing songs anymore. Even call ringtones don't play. I tried downloading an app yesterday, though unsuccessfully and I think that might be what kick-started the problem.
I need help please!!!!!
P.S. I attached a screenshot of the error I saw when I tried to play and change my calling ringtones

Factory reset unless you can find the cause. Possible malware. Xhelper is possible if running lower than Android 9. A factory reset will not purge it and either way a reflash be the next step to rule out a mobo failure.

How do I reflash?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu first.
If that fails try a factory reset.
