Video problem - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using slimics and I haven't only had this problem on this rom, I've had it on a few other ones too. I watch a lot of youtube at night and after watching couple videos about 10mins long my phone (not the app) will just crash and do a full reboot. This only happens when watching videos though. Could someone please tell me what's happening

There isn't enough detail here for a proper diagnosis. I would assume that your ROM doesn't yet have stable video playback and as a result the system reboots itself.
If you like watching video then I would suggest using the CM9.1 RC4.1 ROM by Wayland_ACE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868121
Not only does it have full YouTube and HQ support but it never reboots and has every ICS feature plus Cyanogen mod modifications like power control in the notification drawer, theme chooser, etc.
For optimal performance turn on Kernel Same Page Merging (KSM), purging of assets and zRAM %18 in the performance settings.
Please note that this ROM is missing the livewallpaperpicker.apk and the Googlequicksearchbox.apk meaning that live wallpapers will not work and the Google search app is not in the system. These apps can be side loaded and pushed to the system though.
Please read through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882363 or PM me for more info. If you want I can post the apks and a tutorial for how to install them in this thread.

Can't play any video on my Nexus one

I'm having troubles playing video's of any kind on my Nexus one. For example in the youtube app the video starts loading but it only shows the first screen and the audio just plays fine. The same thing happens when I want to play a video file in the gallery.
I'm using an official stock rom, the second update I think and my device is rooted. I already tried a soft reset but that didnt work.
Can anyone help me on this?

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.

Modified YouTube app?

Hey guys I was just wondering if it were possible to modify
the YouTube app or even develop a new one that can gain full access to the website (no more unavailable on mobile devices ) and the ability to turn off the screen while listening to normal music videos (no music stopping ).
I find it annoying to have the screen on while just listening to a normal song which mainly display still pictures

Looks like were the only ones that want too see the youtube app. That actually works.....

YouTube/flash issues within browser

So I use stock browser/ICS browser+ to surf. And watching embedded YouTube videos within websites is a nightmare. I have STICK IT! App or even YouTube app so I'd have no problem using those but to even get the "share" button accessible I have to click play which causes a big lag and then im frantically trying to click share, which usually doesn't work. If I just let it play and then click fullscreen within the site it lags and usually freezes and blacks out screen and doesn't play
To add, I have sites loaded as "desktop" by default.
Usually what I end up doing is looking at video title and trying to find it myself on the YouTube app.
What are your guys' thoughts on playing embedded YouTube videos? Lately its been so frustrating.
EDIT: I forgot what the final straw was that had me post on here.....after the you tube video freezes or bugs out, the browser bugs and wont load a page until I reboot xoom, even if I end task in manager

Try reinstalling flash on your xoom. Just go to the play store and look up "Flash". You should see something like "Adobe Flash". Uninstall it, and then reinstall it.
Hope that helps.

[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.
Thanks,
Jacko

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
