[Q] Random restarts?

I've been having a problem lately with my phone. It just restarts! It happens a lot when I'm using the desktop youtube site to watch videos and I try to change the position. If I use a different browser, it won't restart, it just crashes the browser.
Happened again today but while I was running and listening to music.
So far it's only happened like 3x today but I'm just wondering if thats the usual when you're running a custom rom.
Any ideas? I was thinking of trying to reinstall flash but I'm not sure if I should just dl that from the market or do I have to use a modified version b/c I'm using a custom rom.

This might be related to the problematic Samsung App update. Since I updated it has suddenly locked up or suddenly re-booted in the middle of doing something else. Anyone have any ideas how to roll back the update?

Just curious...... did you guys change LCD density and/or are you using ADW Launcer. I am not running a custom rom but after rooting, changhing the LCD density and using ADW I get a random restart maybe once every other day.

[Q] Multimedia Playback Failed after running for a few days

Dear all,
I noticed my phone has an issue and I think this may not be rom / kernel related, so I would like to ask here.
My phone is running fine every time after booting up, however after running for a random period of times (say 2 - 7 days), it cannot play any media files. I can't play youtube (it said the video cannot be played), can't listen to mp3 (music player reported unsupported codec), ringtone disappeared (phone don't ring if i get call) and other apps failed in similar way. A reboot can solve the issue.
It is a bit annoying (especially when you when to play something and you suddenly identified that you need to wait for 5 min for a reboot), does any one experienced similar issue?
To clarify , I am running darky rom with darky kernel 1.0, however I had this issue for a few months, I was using super optimized kernel and had the same issue as well.

Same here. i'm running Darky's 9.4 but I don't know if it is related to this rom.
I don't remember that I had this problem before.

Another one running Darky rom with a problem .

I have this problem.
(dark kernel 1.4 and darky rom 9.5)

I get this occasionally and I'm on stock 2.2.1. It's a massive pain in the arse. I thought maybe it was something to do with my external micro sd card but I formatted it and waited hours to copy all my music to it again and I'm still having problems.

So quite a few of people having this problem. Did anyone of us find out the root cause? And what's the reason that others do not suffer from this? This happened on Darky, Super Optimized Kernel, Speedmod, Stock Rom...
Some experts can help?

Also know this problem. Had it on stock and some custom roms too. Tried nearly every kernel ever available for our phone but didnt help. so it really maybe some strange Hardware issue...just speculating but when did you guys get your galaxy? cause mine was one of the `first generation` got it immediately when it was available here in germany in june/july 2010...perhaps this got fixed by Samsung later on

An old Nokia trick may work . Delete your MP3s .
Load only a few MP3s to phone and see if it works .

I've seen another thread were someone said it was called by the twitter client. They have updated the official twitter client recently, and I've not had the problem occur since. Although, it may be too soon to tell, it used to happen to me very regularly.

And just to followup, the problem hasn't gone away with the new version of twitter.
So, I'm not sure of what is the cause (or solution) to the issue.

Nope, i though you are talking the twitter update around 1 week ago. I just found that twitter have a new update today and never tried it if it fixed the problem. The change description do mention something similar, fixed a bug to skip music player while updating.. not sure if this is really the case.... need to test now...

good topic

I'm going to get rid of the twitter app then to see if it helps as updates don't seem to have done anything and I reformatted the sd card again and stuck everything back on there today and not only did it happen again, it's getting worse! Not only could I not play any music a minute ago, a load of my apps had vanished too! I assume ones that installed to SD by default rather than the phone storage.
If this sorts it out I'll be very happy. Twitter's crap anyway.

I've been having the same problem for a while now. I have just uninstalled Twitter and will see if that helps.
Basically all media stops working. Can't even record anything with the camcorder app. Nothing plays back. No youtube, no camcorder videos, no nothing. BUT arcmedia will open some videos sometime. HMMM weird, because other video player apps don't seem to be able to play them.
I'll give an update later today if it works. Videos normally stop working after only a few hours on my phone.

Do you guys have 8GB or 16GB models?
I've only come across this once and it was on a stock 16GB, one of the early ones, started about a week ago...upgraded to JVB seems to have solved it for now, time will tell.

16gb model, I've had 3 updates, and none have fixed the problem.

Wonder if it's just the 16GB?

[Q] Slow sound playback?

I've been using ICS on my O2 Galaxy S since around beta 2 of ICSSGS and never had any problems with it, until now at least. I had been using Doc's ROM V6 until thursday, when it decided to suddenly stop working overnight. (as in it would get stuck on the kernel splash screen). I flashed a a gingerbread kernel so I could reflash the ROM, which I still had stored on the internal SD. After reflashing the ROM everything seemed to be working fine so I continued to use my phone as normal on friday. However, I tried to play some music today and found that playback was in slow motion, making the sound very deep. I guessed it was a flashing quirk and flashed the official AOKP rom on to my phone, wiping all my data as well as the system partition. However, the problem remained. I flashed back to stock JVQ in the hope that this would fix it but no such luck, although the music plays at normal speed for a few seconds before slowing. The affected songs seem to be random, and it occurs in all apps, including games and youtube. Note, it affects all sound on apps that are not music players, whereas songs in music players are affected randomly.
Naturally this is quite annoying and it would be preferable to find a fix with it without having to visit a phone shop.
Thanks in advance.

[TX]Laggy video playback

Hey guys, ive got a rooted xperia tx running stock firmware, and im experiencing very choppy video performance. It can freeze for a second or so, even on non HD videos.
Im able to play 3D games quite well( NFS most wanted, asphalt 7), and i think even streaming video plays fine, but any video that ive stored on my phone plays really badly, even with MX video player( Both h/w and s/w decoding display this issue). Also, I've had this problem since ICS.

EXACTLY what Yenkazu said was my suggestion, too
I experienced this issue when i was on .411, but with the .67 firmware, the issue has gone, update to .67, and even FLASH it, to see if it helps

backup your SD card, and everything, then perform a FULL FACTORY RESET, including Erasing Memory Card, maybe this helps optimizing the memory card and internal storage for JB, as i said, i had this problem, but after a factory reset it's ok now, there is nothing wrong with your device, it's powerful enough to play FullHD videos, let alone 720p

Unbricked the phone, back to OOS 3.5.1. I can't record video or play video/sound

First of all, hello everyone.
Pretty much the title. After unbricking my phone, I restored my phone back to 3.5.1 totally, including the recovery and all.
Everything works fine except I could not play any videos on youtube, instagram, twitter..., no sound coming from spotify, cannot record videos either. And sometimes, videos do play while technically stuck at 0:00, but as soon as sound starts playing they completely freeze.
I tried updating through OTA to 4.5.1, but same story.
Any idea?

I tried it too a few days ago, but no luck, my 3T is almost dead now.
I just got a redmi note 5. Quite a downgrade, but happy with it.

I agree. Unless there's a Hardware fault, updating the software just requires the correct steps to be followed.
