[Q] Instagram Video?

I got the latest firmware 14.3.A.0.757, but I can't seem to post an Instagram Video. I can't select any video from my stock gallery, can't record using the Instagram App itself, can't long press the camera button to record a video. Does anyone here got the same problem? Or instavid isn't really available for XZ1?

I had the same problem, but then after the Kit Kat update the problem went. Instagram for Android isnt as refined for video as it should be in my opinon

Ah well, It's the stupid update I guess. It didn't include the video function. So I just uninstalled and installed, wtf. Why did I think about that just now. hahaha Thanks though!! I got confirmation from you that video is working in our z1. So yea. Thank you again.

Choppy video recording

Hello, I've been plauged by this issue and still haven't found a fix...
Recording any videos with the stock camera app, either 4k or 1080p, and attempting to play them back in either the stock camera app or in google photos, the videos are horrendously choppy. But playing them back in a different program like ES File Explorer, them seem to work OK (4k still has some dropped frames).
I am running 5.1.1 tmobile. I have already attempted a factory reset and reflash but it didn't help at all. Any ideas?
Is this what you are experiencing?

If so, the hardware is defective and you should get it replaced asap.
I'm not quite sure if it's the same issue...When I play back the videos using a different app like QuickPic they seem to be OK. Just Google Photos and the google camera app are laggy when playing back videos.

taking videos and watching videos doesn' t work!

Hi. Yesterday i flashed my z3c with the official 5.1.1 firmware from sony with flashtool. Now I noticed that I can't play any videos for example on the Youtube app, Instagram app or Twitter app. But if I go in the browser on youtube everything works. I also noticed that if i take a video the Camera app crashes. I hope i there is a way to fix this... :silly:

[Q] Youtube issue

hi guys, I have a strange problem with youtube for a few days, pinch to zoom does not work anymore even if I had done that trick deleting cache of the phone, you also have this problem?
Last night the camera button also gave me to create a live video, no longer today, crazy youtube or my notes?
I have recently received an OTA, FEB. 686 mb, I have a youtube app prior to latest, pinch to zoom works, but only a very little zoom, and gif making is available

Perhaps we have misunderstood ourselves, I have never had problems about gif making and I do not understand why you are talking about this.
my problem is only youtube, can you kindly tell me which version of youtube are you using?
I understood fine, I was trying to say that MAYBE the combination of software update AND youtube version is what is not working well in your case, I am using youtube 13.03.58
The latest ver I was running was 13.01.53 & never had an issue with fit-to-screen/pinch-to-zoom. YT along with Maps are apps that I don't like to always update to the latest version when released. Buggy sometimes in my experience.
I'm currently running iYTPBP 12.49.55 with no issues either. I'll never go back to stock YT again.
Hello there! I have been having the EXACT problem as you. Go to the Play Store, then on the Youtube app page. Uninstall it. It will just uninstall the updates and stick to the version of the app that comes with the latest build of your phone. (Which is a very recent one). In this one, the Pinch to Zoom works normally.
Once a new update is out fixing this issue, just let the Play Store update your app as usual.
Regards
thanks guys, after the v suggestions, I did an experiment, I found an old version of youtube on the net, I uninstalled youtube updates and I installed the old version, the problem disappeared, after I updated youtube and now pinch to zoom works.
a mysterious thing, during these operations in the old version I appeared only once for a chance to make live video (streaming from the phone), but when I reopened the application was gone, youtube does not want to give us the streaming.
Good for you man! It is good to see when somebody has success fixing some issue!

Google photos can't play 4k video longer than a minute

Hi,
When I record a video (with stock camera app) in 4k that is longer than a minute in the photos app it laggs (1-4 fps), the sound is playing normally. When I try to play a 30 sec 4k video it runs smoothly. In other resolution everything is fine.
But, when I play that video in an other app (like Filemanager's built in video player) it is fine.
I deleted app data, and cache, still doesn't work.
I also tried to record a 4k 1 minute long video, wich is about 300MB, then I recorded a 10 minute video in FullHd wich is 1.6 GB, the FullHd video runs smoothly, so I don't think it is a problem with size. What could be the problem?
Same here brother. After i stabilized the video the vudeo become choppy. Or if I see recorded 4k video the video stuck at some piont and show like slidesjow of photos.
For the last 2 days, that is what i am frustratingly suffering. It was not sth existing a few days ago. I was wondering what caused this and saw your post. Appreciate all kinds of recommendations.
If anyone have a solution please let me know, I still have this problem. After June update all of my 4k videos are broken and I can't play them in Google photos.
Are you sure it happens only with videos longer than 1 min? I have the same problem but it's random.
Sometimes videos longer than 1 or 2 minutes play OK, sometimes very short videos lag.
Haven't tried less than 4k, though.
Super annoying - using VLC now.

I am facing the same problem
Hi, so I tried a few things, and it works.
Disable the app. If it asks to replace the app with the factory version click "ok". After that, enable the app, and DON'T update it, even if it asks to.
This worked for me, no problem at all, the 4k works, the slowmotion videos can be played without stopping too.
@Thuyamo so you lost the improved interface, dark mode and all that?
I am just afraid it will cause sync problems or something.

I'm currently on version 4.11, the newest in play store is 4.19 so it's not that old. For me this downgrade didn't cause any sync problem. Since the screen is so dim I don't want to make it harder to see stuff on my phone outside the house?, so I don't use dark mode at all. But yes, I lost the dark mode feature. The improved interface is there, I didn't lose it.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
I'm on 4.18.0.250747830 version, 1st play of recorded video was playing normally, smooth, but 2nd and so on lagging like hell

Try the second or the third one, please let me know if it works.
I don't care if it is working or not, to play videos I'm using MX Player Pro.
I created ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google One Support. Let's see how that goes.
Guys, this is a secret so SHHH don't tell anyone.

(Because, I mean, who in their right mind uses Google-anything. Just joking, but srsly.)
Ok, here is an update on ticket [9-1423000026724] with Google support.
Long story short, they said Google Photos cannot play 4k videos.
So I said that was not true and sent them screenshots of Photos running on an iPhone and on a Motorola Android phone, including the information pop-up that shows the video resolution.
They replied they did all they could and closed the case.
I am so dissapointed with their service. I did not expect a quick solution, but I thought they would acknowledge the bug.
What do we do now? I think opening more tickets with them is all we can do. Hope you guys can help me on that.
