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.
Hello,
I have a quick question. I am currently using Gingerbread Hero Deck and while chatting on the stock messenger, a friend tried sending me an audio clip. When I tried downloading it, it said "Unsuccessful". So I asked if he could send an image. That worked fine. He then tried sending a pic with an audio embedded and that failed also. Anyone have any ideas on how this could be fixed? It seems I cant receive any type of audio clip. Also, the audio clip is within the size for Sprint.
I also tried another messaging system called Handcent. That failed also.
Everything else on the rom works well.
Thanks!
I found a temp cure for this. I downloaded GO sms and it is able to download the audio just fine. The only downside is the battery life it sucks away. I am trying to keep my phone for battery life so if anyone else knows how to fix this with keeping the stock messaging app itll be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving

I don't have any issues with GOSMS wasting my battery. The audio files you are getting use 3G to download through the mms network, that could be why you are thinking that it's GOSMS and not just the process of downloading over 3G.
I have bought the second hand device over e-bay and from the beginning I have some problems with it.
Unfortunately I didn't tested it much when I received it because it was still on 5.0.1 stock and rooted. My wish was to have a stock device so it could receive OTA updates as lately I don't have a time to play with the phone.
I have read the beginners guide and followed the guide to return it to stock. I have flashbooted stock recovery, latest Lolipop radio, kernel, system and locked the bootloader. After booting into OS the device has informed that there is a system update. I downloaded it OTA and it installed without a problem. Now the trouble begun when I tried to use the phone. I noticed that youtube won't play any file, Kodi also. Sometimes it even rebooted the phone, but I noticed that when hardware acceleration in Kodi is turned off it plays OK. I thought that maybe video drivers are not OK and tried to check how video benchmark works. Basemark X on medium quality went OK so I thought that I did something wrong in a process of returning the device into stock and tried with a custom ROM.
The decision was to install xTraSmooth . As I didn't had a time to read everything afterwards I found that it is Android M preview and that I should update bootloader and radio as well. But Youtube started to work, Kodi also. Than I noticed that wifi signal is dropping so I decided not to update bootloader but to return to Lolipop and I installed Chroma ROM. After it flashed youtube and Kodi problem started again. I flashed elementalx kernel and Youtube worked but when I turned on hardware acceleration in Kodi it wasn't working.
Than I returned again to xTraSmooth but updated the radio, Youtube and Kodi were working fine, at least I thought. Yesterday I discovered that on some youtube 1080p videos video just freezes the picture after maybe a minute and sound continues to work. When I lower the quality bellow hd it is OK. Strange is that some 1080p youtube videos work without a problem.
Also I bought a slimport adapter and it doesn't work (I have only tested it with xTraSmooth M preview 2). I thought that an adapter is not good but tried it with my cousin Nexus 5 and it is OK.
Don't have a Chromecast and I tried a Miracast with a build.prop hack but the picture is terrible (xTraSmooth M preview 1).
I'm starting to think that my device is defective. Could you please help? Sorry for a quite long explanation.
Please edit this into paragraphs and I'll read it, but I'm not going to read it as it is. Nothing personal, but it's difficult to read block text.

Sorry for writing the post as one block, I have split it into paragraphs now. Hope that it would be easier to read it although it is very long. I tried to explain my problem as better as I could with less words possible.

Thanks for doing that.
Youtube should work fine. I would stick to Lollipop 5.1.1 builds. It doesn't have to be stock. The preview is just a preview so some things may not work.
I cannot comment on XtraSmooth as I haven't used it.
I do have Kodi, so if there is anything you want me to test on the rom I use, please let me know.
Nexus 6 doesn't support Slimport or MHL. I've used EZCast and that seems to work fine, picture resolution wise - though performance is poor, so no good for games or video.
I dont think your device is faulty. I would recommend trying some of the latest stock roms or AOSP roms after a full factory reset and trying again with youtube. What carrier are you on / country are you in?

Thank you for your reply.
I tried Chroma ROM which is ASOP 5.1.1. and Youtube / Kodi didn't worked.
Kodi had a general problem, I was watching a stream of Sons of Anarchy with Genesis plugin but I believe that the same thing will be with any other video. Maybe if it was a video stored on internal memory it would be OK. I'll test this
Sorry to hear that Nexus 6 doesn't support Slimport, I read that it does on GSM arena, NDTV gadgets so I didn't check any further. Does anybody tried Chromcast? I bought this phone mostly to connect it with TV to watch videos and I would appreciate a lot if somebody has a working solution.
OK I will try again to wipe the whole phone and reset it from the beginning.
I'm from Croatia and carrier is Tomato but I connect the phone on internet for any serious transmission over my home wifi.

There is a thread (by pokedroid) about issues after relocking the bootloader.

I was trying to find pokedroid thread but I didn't find anything I could use. All I found out of his threads about relocking was the questions from 2 guys who were asking about messing with their company phone. Could you please lnk the tread you are referring to. Thanks.
Anyway I had some time to play with the phone. I installed stock 5.1.1 and relock the bootloader again, I tried Benzo-Rom and XtraSmooth (both 5.1.1) I tried stock M preview and they all had a problem with a video hardware acceleration. VLC even popped out the message that there was a problem with a hardware acceleration and proposed to turn it off.
I tried internet streams, streams over my LAN, playing video from internal memory. Every time the same problem.
I tried to downclock GPU in Benzo-ROM to 400 MHz and that repaired a problem but just in some cases.
After everything I installed again XtraSmooth M preview and almost all videos were playable. I checked GPU clock in CPU-z because I thought that it may be downclocked but it was 600 MHz (max). Well I won't complain for extra power but it is very strange that hardware acceleration works stable on overclocked GPU on preview OS and it doesn't work on stock clock on stable OS release.
Finally after being couple days on XtraSmooth M preview I tried to watch some video from facebook app but it rebooted my phone. I was going through developers options in setting menu and turned on "Disable HW overlays" and after this every video is playing ok.
Can anybody help me with this problem.
After a lot of trying I finally decided to ask Motorola for a help but unfortunately when entering IMEI number it was rejected. Now I am worried that the phone might be stolen and changed IMEI number. Maybe during that change something has gone wrong and that is why the phone is not working as it should be. Is there any way to check this without going to Motorola service because I live too far. The guy that has sold the phone isn't registered at ebay any more, which I discovered just today.

Many thanks, it showed that it is not blacklisted so I tryed again at Motorola pages and now it was OK, maybe it was some problem on the page because I tried about 5 - 6 times writing it all over again.
I have continued trying to repair the phone but unfortunately I have broken it more.
My WiFi connectin was breaking very often, signal was week, I found how to repair and rebuild persist folder and after the process sensors are not working. I have applied the following:
I have rebooted in TWRP and enered the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
e2fsck -y /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
make_ext4fs /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
Persist exist but in TWRP I can see it only as a file not as folder.
After I have tried to fastboot everything from the scratch (bootloader, radio, system, userdata . . . ) several times. I have wiped everything from TWRP. I have tried to return to stock 5.0.0. over nexus root kit, than update it to 5.1.1. but still sensors do not work. Is there any method to return this?
Just to update with the situation: I have installed CM 12.1 hoping that it will repair the issue somehow. Unfortunately it didn't.
Then I went through the root folder and folder /persist exist and it has sens.req file On the other hand it seems that my wifi and data reception are working much better. Is it possible to copy /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist file from some other phone into mine to repair the problem?
I have been reading more and maybe found out what has happened. I think that I have messed EFS but I am not sure as I didn't do a backup. Can somebody please answer is my conclusion true and could it be that the phone will be repaired with just a software correction? If yes is there any mothod to repair ESN other than sending it to service because I would have to send it out of my country (nexus is not selling here and none of the services I contacted will take it for repair).
Hi,
I recently purchased a One Plus 3t, ever since when i playback normal videos present on facebook (not uploaded by me) the playback is of very low quality. I did go through the various forum and tried to find an answer for this however not able to get it. I did change the video setting using browser to "HD when available" which was what was being suggested. I tried youtube and I didnt face any issues,,Can someone help..
Thanks in advance

Facing Same problem in my Le 1s
I am also facing same problem in my LeECO le 1s mobile, tried multiple fixes but didn't work. Also, Its not easily available on online forums as a known issue. I tried cleaning everything related to the fb app from the storage which seemed to work temporarily but it started again. let me know if you come across any permanent working solution.
Hi all
Got my oppo few weeks ago, tried few factory restarts but everytime i send via via whatsapp the video is very laggy and not smooth, audio seems ok.
Works fine on my previous one plus phone but struggling here! Anyone have similar issues? is it whatsapp issue but works on my old phone but not sure to be honest.
Thanks
This seems to be a issue with this phone. Both me and a colleague have the same issue with the Oppo Find X5 Pro. Tried different video settings but everything is like 5fps when sent with whatsapp.
