[Q] Screen flicker bug fixed in latest movies apk - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

The known screen flicker bug in last played video seems to be fixed in the latest 7.1A.0.4 Movies apk. No issues on Xperia t 4.3 JB so far. Could anybody confirm that?

Nope! I still have it

Interesting. Not a single flicker here, been using for several hours. Have you cleared the data of movies apk? That's all I did, just reg. install and clear. Been flickering a lot on previous versions playing the same video.

Nope, it's back again. Weird that it's been gone for awhile.

Still there, annoying

[Q] Camera Screen Problem?

Hi, sometimes this happen to me alot in the past month i keep getting a problem in my SGT and i really dont know causing the problem but its not really a BIG problem but a irritating problem some time when i watch or a movie a video of a game file play for example NOVA or any other Games that Starts with a Video. then for example i stop playing and go to the Camera some part of the picture get stuck on the screen but the camera is on and working fine but the visual is dead. like a Stuck image the only think i could do is reset the Tab but still how to fix this or is this already an issue?.. Thanks
I think this is a known issue, but I'm not aware of a permanent fix. For me, it's usually a partial image from the last youtube video I was watching.
This is probably unrelated, but I moved most of my apps to SD to free up internal phone storage space. Waiting to see if glitch still occurs.

[Q] Songs jumping in walkman player

Has anyone else had issues with tracks jumping or freezing briefly in the walkman player? I've only had it happen a few times, but it never normally happens with the files themselves. Any ideas?
Ill reply this happened previously on one of the last java Sony Ericsson phones think it was the c905 - cant remember. But I fixed it somehow.
Anyways,
Are the songs on phone or memory card?
What bit rate are the songs? What format?

Sound issues
Hello!
I have the same problem with freezing music not only in walkman app, but also in player pro. It happens more often when device is using multitask (for example, browsing and music at the same time), but sometimes there are pauses even if screen is off.
All the media is [email protected] stored on microsd.
And i have never noticed this problem in media apps that use their own media decoder. Sound in videos played by mxplayer is ok, and music has no longer these freezes as i started to use playerpro with DSP pack.
As far as i can see, the problem is caused by software, not hardware. I hope sony will fix it by firmware updates.

They're stored on internal memory as I need to get round to buying a 64gb microsd. Songs are 128kpbs and mp3.
It freezd when listening FLAC music.

any other ideas? this is seriously bugging me - listening to music is probably one of the main things I use my phone for outside of calls/texts
Um have you cleared the cache for the walkman app?
Or like windows pcs.
Clear the phone - factory reset it - start from scratch do a clean wipe.
Try another music player.
Or try a different bit rate mp3

Have done all but cleared the cache and bit rate so will try that today. Also getting my sd card today so will see if it makes any difference once they're on that instead, as is it possible it could be to do with the read speed of the internal memory?
As i have already said, it looks to be walkman app problem.
I have noticed no such issues since i started to use another player app.

See, I'm having the problem regardless of what music app I use, which is a bit weird. Although last night, I wiped all my music again and transferred just a few of the songs, so will continue to see how that goes.
Ok so have tried everything now - different bit rate, clearing the cache, factory reset, phone repair, using different music players, trying it on both internal memory and SD card and it's STILL skipping.
Could this therefore just be a hardware fault?
That's really weird.
You know, i had same problem, some people were reporting about this problem both here and on local russian forums, but the feedback about the issue was not that massive as it would be in case of hardware fault. And at the moment everything works fine on my device.
If you dont mind, i'll contact you in a moment via private message, hope i can provide some help.

I mean if it was a hardware fault just specific to my phone. It's annoying if it is as I haven't experienced all the other issues people have had like dead pixels, LED light problems, stamina mode not working, etc. so would be reluctant to swap my phone and potentially end up with any of those issues.
Had this problem' solved by using player pro and having audio buffer set to very high and priority set to high sorted it for me.

Using player pro with DSP enabled, so will try editing the audio buffer and priority settings as well.
Well, everything is possible.
But i can't see the way for hardware to cause this problem with music, but not to affect any other use-cases of the device. As you said, you experienced no other troubles like random rebooting or graphic disfiguration, which would point to defects of cpu or memory or somewhat.
My guess is that system lets the device to fall into "deep sleep", that's why music decoder stops its work for a moment and causes the freeze. Just a software bug. But i can mistake, though.
Yes, i forgot to notice this: the priority of decoder in dsp settings of playerpro is also set to max.

Ok so I downloaded playerpro from the link you sent me after uninstalling the player pro and DSP pack I already had on my phone and weirdly, it seems to have improved. There's still the occasional jump/pause but nowhere near as bad as it was. Will keep testing and update. If it continues to be buggy though, I still might pop into CPW tomorrow and see whether I should get it swapped.
Update: It seems you could be onto something regarding it going to sleep - I don't know how it would go to sleep so quickly, but in look and feel, when I selected to keep the screen on, and it didn't get locked, I experienced no jumping in the tracks.
Looking at this http://androidforums.com/captivate-...-playback-stock-player-samsung-captivate.html
I wonder if it could be anything to do with CPU throttling? It is definitely the case that it only skips when the screen is off, so I'm assuming I have no way of fixing this.
Anyone able to get Lastfm scrobbling to work with Walkman?
Tried the Xperia App but it only works with the official Lastfm app and it's a piece of crap.

I have sent a request to sony's support via e-mail asking for their response about this music problem. I hope the answer will come today, so i'll post sony representatives' comment on the issue.
Still believe it is software to cause bugs. Playerpro decoder, set to maximum process priority, doesn't let system to sleep, which increases power consumption, but fixes freezes and pauses. The original sound decoder has lesser priority, maybe there are some bugs in power management, so the issue we decribe happens.
The problem is, there can be no firmware updates for XZ until the end of March or beginning of April, when android 4.2 will become available for our device.

[Q] Note not playing media, help needed..

Hey guys...
My Note was running on Ultimate ROM 5.2 ever since it was published (over a month), and on 5.1 before that for several months. Everything was running smoothly just fine without any serious problems.
Suddenly, earlier this morning, I noticed that I couldn't play ANY kind of media at all! No YouTube videos, no videos that I've downloaded or captured, no music, no audio files, NOTHING. And it wouldn't make a difference what all or media player I use. They all fail.
When playing videos, the first frame is shown then it freezes completely. Counter stays on 0:00. I can tap and scroll through the video and the frames would move and change, but once I take off my finger, it freezes at that last frame.
I tried doing a full wipe and did a new clean install of the ROM. Problem still unchanged or unsolved.
What's going on? What happened to my device? Has this been reported on the Note before? Is there a way to fix it without having to take it for service?
Thank you..
Reinstall rom and still the same?...what about flashig stock rom?..

[Q] HTML5 or Flash video in stock browser - CM10.1/SCHIZOID

Is there any way to get HTML5 video playback working in the stock browser in any of the CM10.1 derived ROMs and SCHIZOID in particular?
I've never managed to get it working. I used to always get a grey area; if you clicked on it, it'd look like it was to start playing, but it just did as it the playback had finished and showed the replay options, etc.
Surprisingly, a couple of weeks ago I reinstalled SCHIZOID (I think it was the 11JUN build) after a complete wipe and I found out it was working. But after updating to the 01JUL build, it stopped working again. So I tried a clean install of this version. Nothing, still doesn't work. I've even again clean installs of 11JUN and even 07JUN and 02JUN (in case it was one of those the one) to no avail.
It can't be impossible as it was working for a few weeks before the update, but I don't seem to find what it depends on.
Video playback using Flash doesn't seem to work anymore either in these ROMs. There seems to be a problem with the overlays, and although the video is playing and you can hear it, all you can see is a black box.
Can anybody throw any light on this? Thanks.
Nothing? Could someone at least confirm that video playback doesn't work and it's not just me who can't get it working? Cheers!
I was having the same problem with flash, I could hear the video but couldn't see it. I found a work around by accident, I taped the full screen option on the player and in full screen flash video works. Hope that helps if you're still having the problem.

Video playback issue

Hello,
This phone is much more than what I expected for the price, it feels faster and battery lasts longer than the ZenFone 5 I'm currently using.
I have an issue though. When playing web video through Firefox, Twitter app or YouTube app the video remains frozen on the first image but audio continues to plays fine. Using Chrome video plays choppy, like 1fps, and audio continues to play normally.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I converted this from Prime to non-Prime and is rooted. I didn't test before doing these changes, but I suppose that shouldn't have any adverse effect.
I rooted added 128 GB card and removed ads and Amazon apps and install Xposed and gravity box on mine. No issues for me including video. This phone works at least as well as my iPhone 6. Did you try on a different connection?
Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk
Hello,
It's not a bandwidth issue. The videos play but are not rendered (at least not properly) on the screen. You can hear the audio from the video, but you see only the first frame of the video or a black rectangle.
I'll say it's something related to the gpu.
Sent from my ASUS_T00J using Tapatalk
I don't have this issue. I would return the phone to Amazon ASAP if factory reset doesn't fix it.
Hello,
I went into recovery and did a cache and dalvik wipe, now everything works as it should.
Thanks for the replies.

I'm having the same issue and that did not fix it. Youtube stutters, instagram videos, and even the camera viewfinder.
