Hello, I'm a new member here. I've browsed the forums from time to time but never registered until today because I'm in need of some help.
After browsing and searching online and on this forum, I haven't seen anyone with a problem similar to mine.
So, being brief:
Not a single type of video is playable on my phone. Youtube.com, YouTube App, videos from my phone's SD Card, videos I recorded with this phone a few days ago, nothing. Videos I was able to watch on my phone before also suddenly stopped working. I also can't record videos.
On the other hand, my camera works perfectly, so does the music player.
I haven't added any weird adds or anything of the sort. I've attached screenshots of my "About Phone" info, and two other screenshots of what it looks like when I try to play videos on the YouTube App and videos that are directly saved on my phone.
If help is available, I'll appreciate it highly.
Thanks in advance!
Pedro.

Going through "All" Apps and there isn't a single one with the name "Video" on it. This may be the problem lol. Any idea what I can do?
Thanks!

Yep. Like this:
System Settings > Apps > [DOWNLOADED] [ON SD CARD] [RUNNING] [ALL]
They are ordered alphabetically, went down and this is what I get (attachment picture).

hmm..looks like your video player is missing, did you by chance delete it? or something? , another option would be to install another player from google play
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=video+player&c=apps just try MX player..its great

Nop. Never mess with any of that. Just installed it and now I can play videos from my SD Card, thanks!
However, nothing on YouTube or YTApp.
Any idea how I can get it back? The stock video player I mean.

you may need to reinstall the video player (you have to find a stock video player to re install) or you can do a factory reset...that will wipe out all your current settings , contacts , downloads etc
Did you try clearing youtube data and cache ?

cause your earlier installation is still in your system, it has to be un installed first, for this to replace it. Can download a root un installer from google play and check ( try to un install the video player, not the mx player , if your video player is hidden somewhere in your system
The other option is it has to be flashed it by using odin or by using update.zip in recovery mode.
you can also download from google play the youtube app, and let it install by google ( it can either update it or replace it ) would solve that problem

Ok, I'll try that now.
I just reset my phone, backed up my contacts through Google Sync and had barely any apps so it wasn't a problem. Still no video after factory reset.
I'll give it a go now!

The problem has to be with the rom you using, you are on ICS 4.03 , you need to check with the developers of this rom as I9000 stock rom is only Gingerbread

There was no problem before though, that's what's weird. I've had this phone for about a month and a half, and installed ICS on it on day 3 or so. Ever since, the videos were working properly, lagless and flawlessly.
Just a few days ago problems started appearing.
Just installed a root-uninstaller and it didn't find any Video player at all. Uninstalled YouTube and re-installed it, nothing.

you may have to revert to gingerbread but first try and post into the ICS 4.03 thread, to see if this is a common problem or they have a fix or quick solution for it.
I have little experience in that area as my unit is a korean Galaxy as and only Gingerbread is possible with it.

You have tried to use MX player app?
Just go into official twitter app settings and make sure 'Sound Effects' are off. This will resolve your problem.

Yeah I tried MX Player but didn't work.
Well, had to install another custom ROM. It seems the one I had wasn't compatible with the Kernel I was using. Problem has been solved, and now I'm using 4.0.4, so it's all good!
Thanks a lot for the constant help!

Try this one

It looks the same
The only deference is the color of the lens in the app icon

Thank you!
I tried to install the 4.4 camera and went back to stay with the problem I refer in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613621.
I tried several stock apps and some external. With the external works ok (but the apps are not good...), with the stock always the same problem.
I made a new flash of Google apps but kept the problem, had to flash the rom agian to solve theproblem....
Any idea what might be the problem of spots and low definition when i made videos in 720p (in 480p works fine)?
If I do a system update will I have to reinstall and reconfigure my apps and widgets?

hi
i have a Honor 5c (NEM-L21) with Emui 5.0 (nougat)...
i've put a custom wallpaper on the homescreen and every time during charging - wallpaper resets to the same one from stock Huawei gallery that came with the phone...

Hi have you enabled any option like randomize wallpaper on lock screen or when connected to WiFi or when charging.
This option is present in EMUI 3&4 not sure whether it's present in EMUI 5 or not check it .

There you go again with your wrong suggestions. OP clearly said HOMESCREEN wallpaper, not lock screen wallpaper.

The randomize wallpaper you were talking about is called Magazine Lockscreen. It does not affect the homescreen wallpaper.
Check whether in display->wallpaper->other and check whether the options for random change home screen wallpaper is enabled or not.
random wallpaper is not enabled... i'm not a newbie
i'm asking this because i've been through all the settings and didn't find any that could cause this...
btw the device was updated to Emui 5.0 after an hour of usage when it was bought new... so i don't know if the same issue is present on an older Emui version...

I see. So may I suggest that you install Wallpaper app by Google and apply your desired wallpaper from there.
tbh when do you even watch your lockscreen? i always use fibgerprint to open phone -> geasure to make statusbar go down -> lock screen when ever i need to check notifications, and when i open phone and use it i use fingerprint aswell... only when rebooting and need type password i see my lockscreen wallpaper.
who is talking about lockscreen?

i've already tried changing homescreen wallpaper using system settings, stock gallery and quickpic gallery apps... no change on either...
and for all of you guys - PLEASE, if you try to help, at least read the 1st post and forget about the damn lockscreen...
again - thanks for any help...

I'm sorry too. You said applying the wallpaper using another app gives the same result. I think a factory reset will fix this for good.

I'm not sure. Didn't see the stock recovery of my Honor 5X and Honor 8. I always flash TWRP right away. :laugh: Power of the phone, and then press volume up and power button simultaneously until the screen lights up.

Same thing here, cant long press icons for options either, it just FC. Uninstalled and went back to older version for now. Functionality beats landscape mode for me. Will wait till it gets updated the normal way. But thanks for the heads up on this!
