Hello.. I'm a newbie and I've just encountered my first problem with my S2..
All video does not play on my phone anymore. I get sound and black screen.. I get this from video I've recorded and films I have put onto my phone.. This happens off internal and external memory too.
I turned my phone on this morning and tried to view video and now I see all my video's again..But recorded video looks very grainy and pixelated. Not sure if it's software or hardware related, but I'm seriously gutted because it's my sons Birthday today and I'll be unable to record anything.
If I have to take my phone back and get it replaced, what will happen to all of the App's I've paid for? Will I be able to move them to a new S2, with the same Google account?
This is my first Android phone and I know very little...lol. Was absolutely loving it before this video playback problem.. I did a search but couldn't find anything relating to this problem..Maybe I'm not using key words...idk.
Just recorded some new footage and it looks fine..But all video footage I recorded before the problem started is pixelated... Am I best restoring the phone or is there a workaround with some setting or something?
Sorry should have said in first post...I'm on sim free and I've not done anything with the phone yet. V 2.3.3

Thanks for that Disfected... Android is totally new to me and I have much to learn.. Still holding back on a reset though.. Want to see if others here have had this problem with video..

My girlfriend loves the sims games, but she didn't have android on her touchpad yet (CM wasn't stable enough till about 3.5 where i'd install it for her as her OS). I added her gmail account to my phone and we bought SIMS 3 on it to her account, and low and behold, EA doesn't let you install it on the touchpad.
I removed her account from my phone and now the game won't play on my phone, which is understandable. I backed it up via titanium and shipped it over to her touchpad, but it won't download any of the additional files.
It says it's going to download, then says NaN 0MB of 0MB and calls it quits.
Anyone know how to get around this? She bought the game, and the licence check will pass, but it's BS that it doesn't work.
I think the Nan download issue is global reading the comments on the review.. maybe they will fix that soon

I copied the data download from my phone to my tablet for sims and sim city to get them going. Neither supports the HP's resolution. On Sim City it just cuts off the edges, but it is still totally playable. On sims, the choice boxes for actions aren't there and graphical components like house numbers appear in random places. I haven't found any file to edit for the resolution settings yet...anyone else?
I do not have the additional data since I recently wiped my phone. =/

Any chance you could help me out with the names & locations of the file(s) you copied? I would greatly appreciate it.

I copied the entire folder indicated above from my phone to my tablet in the same location. I installed the apps like usual first, but couldn't download the data the conventional way.

Thanks!! that worked.....
I also got it to run by copying the data from my phone but like Danknee said above there's a resolution issue so it's not really playable. Menu options are missing or off screen.
An update on this, I found a way to get the game to work using the method that is described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393701
It basically forces a 16:9 aspect ratio which the game apparently needs. The down side is you lose some of your screen space and if you want it back when you are done with the game you have to restore the files you replaced and reboot so it is a bit tedious just to play one game.
hi:
i got black screen that didnt go away, so i rebooted..
then got error:: process com.ea.simcitydeluxe_na has stopped.. force close..
google is no help..
thanx
Anyone ever figure out a way to get the game to work on the touchpad? Without changing a bunch of files?
I was reading that someone managed to get the palm pre version worked on webos.... Perhaps that might be a better and easier way to get this working.
Failing that is there a one (or two maybe?) Solution to replacing some files and rebooting? Forgive my Android noob knowledge but something akin to a batch file could do this perhaps?
That way the method motoki suggested wouldnt be so bad at all.
Op here, still have not found a workable solution.

Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of Music Junk? Mine just keeps saying "Network Error" and all the searches I have done are really old posts. Can someone help me please???
Looks like it might be gone for good since the Facebook and Twitter page has been pulled....
I've been wondering the same, but I guess it really is finally gone for good... which blows because it was the best app for downloading music, hands down.
After posting my last, I installed Music Junk 4.3 on my phone again and opened it immediately to try it out again. I searched for music and it actually worked. I downloaded a couple of songs and everything, but then it stopped working after trying another search. Not sure what this means, but hopefully something positive...
Can you post a link for 4.3? I couldn't find it anywhere. I found other versions, but not that one. Pretty Please?
I have this problem with 4.3 I also tried to uninstall & reinstall. I tried 4.2 as well with no luck. This is typical of them when they change versions, but I haven't seen a 4.4 version out there...

But the more important question is are you getting 4.3 to work? Seems like most of us are getting "network error" on any searches.
I have a 4.3, but it's not like it's doing me any good.

I did last night, randomly... decided to install it again and try it. The first search worked and I was able to download several songs. After that, no such luck. I've been getting network error ever since.
I remember long time back (HTC hero days) music junk used to have some files, that used to pull data from these music websites, that used to get outdated. hence, the new versions would have the new files and we would not get the network errors...
If we can get a developer to look into some recent music junk versions and look into the changes made, we might be able to get it working again.

The thing is that music junk was the only app that showed the bitrate of each song. And it worked! The quality of songs was amazing.
The thing is that there is a very easy fix for this Network error... We just need a developer to look into it.

I agree, with Rolle you are at the mercy of whatever is available bit rate wise. I have had good results so far, sometimes CD 44.1 quality or near, sometimes its complete crap. Just throwing out there for a suggestion to hold you over! I agree and hope a developer can modify music junk as necessary.

My worst nightmares have come true. Music junk hands down the best music app without an overly stupid gui, has bitrate info, and the largest music selection.
I'm seriously debating getting back into java programming to make it work again... but soo much work

Anybody know of an alternative method of downloading free music, I haven't paid for music in three years thanks to music junk.

I think it's a done deal, guys. Anytime the servers went offline & we waited on a new version,I was still able to download on mj ver3.0.that is the only version that would work all the time even when the newer current ones would come network error. Needless to say, 3 isn't working anymore.
No way 4.3 was working for me this month now i get network error why i love this app. Any one know if there is an update like 4.4 or am alternative app out there?
I'm using v 3.0.4, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The trick is i have to press search a few times, i get the "network error'' the first tries but eventually it loads the search page. I get the error far more times when im using the network than through wi fi. But once it goes through i click on the song and downloads on the first try.
I'm having an odd issue with the Android app, I'm using JB 4.2 leaked from Samsung. When I'm using it with my car stereo the app doesn't seem to refresh the song information. That means my car stereo display remains stuck displaying the information of the first song played. If I unlock at phone and look at the app the information is the same the display, and lock screen, are showing. Sometimes unlocking the phone and opening the app makes it refresh and display the current song info.
It's very annoying. I tried Pandora support but they gave me the usual uninstall and reinstall answer, adding they don't support custom and rooted roms, of course...
I know it's a long shot but... you never know. Any idea? Could be the rom? I froze Play Music because it was always starting on its on, does that break anything?
Best way to find out is first unfreeze play music and test and second is to drop back down to 4.1.2 and test. If first doesn't work but second does then its to do with 4.2.2 leak.

I'm stupid, of course I can unfreeze it and find out. Sorry.
As for going back to 4.1.2, that's gonna be time consuming and sadly I don't have much free time. Heh. I was hopping someone who has it running on its phone could confirm of deny having the same issue. That's why I was saying "long shot".
What happened when you unfrozen it? Did it work.? Sorry I can't help you.

Provided that Google Music works flawlessly with the car stereo, nope it didn't change anything, sadly.
I'll keep you posted if there are developments.
[Update 08/12/2013]
I gave up. Ditched Pandora for Google Play Unlimited. I know, Pandora is awesome, but for me this crap is important. I'm sick in the head.
Same issue with Samsung G4
Any update on this? I am having the same issue with brandnew out of the box Samsung G4. No mods or anything.
I also notice that on reconnecting to the car (after being turned off), the volume is very low but gets restored to the correct level when the track changes to the next one.

I have 4 videos on my phone. Was reviewing them with the stock gallery and video player. After going through the set, I look back and one of the videos is missing. I deleted nothing, I rooted nothing, I installed only trustworthy apps and it is otherwise a pure Google nexus 4. What the hell... incredibly frustrated at Google right now. Someone please prove that this is PEBSAC or tell me how to recover this video?
Only possible explanation I have right now would be corrupt storage (but it it was fine when I played it back so this is not plausible), which would imply Google has garbage quality and doesn't know error correction. Even with a corrupt file, it should still show up with read errors, and not just disappear!

Things don't just disappear, don't blame google, they make the OS, Not the apps that run the media. It's likely the video has moved somewhere. Rebooting almost always solves this. I can 98% guarantee the video is still there with a 2% chance of it not, if it's not then shame, i was wrong. However don't just go around blaming google for something they have no fault in.

It's not there. I am 98% sure it was not moved. 2% in case the camera/gallery app likes to move people's files and hide them. The file sizes add up, and this video file is definitely missing from the storage usage; that's how I know it's not "still there" somewhere.
So for no reason i cant play video files on my android note 8. All it says is "you may not have the proper app to view". In gallery and in every other app all the videos open up apart from the app i use the most, whatsapp. I disabled dual messenger, deleted whatsapp, reinstalled whatsapp, cleared cache, clear cache from recovery but whatever i do it says it cant play the video as i dont have the approriate app even tho i have most of the latest video players installed.
Dammit my iphone was expensive, not as nice looking, and not as much memory but that phone rarely gave me any probs and did everything out of the box with ease!! If it wasnt for the dual sim i probably wouldnt eva touch one again.
Iv tried assigning defualt player to videos but the problem is only in whatsapp and havnt found a way of assigining individual files from whatsapp to open up in a specific player. iv had too many problems with android, not the fone itself but these problems are all self arising out of the blue, anyone know how to sort this as i use the whatsapp for wrk. Thanks.

This a suspect post unless you tinkered with it... It shouldn't be doing that especially since you didn't even try rooting it and it's on stock untouched firmware have you tried a factory restore

Hi, i did root it with magisk but that was ages ago and everything was functional, it really did arise out of nowhere. Theres no tinkering involved aside from rooting and the root wasnt very helpful as nowadays alot of apps are rootless. I stll am trying to figure out what to do to get whatsapp to aknowlegddge the videos. yea its on stock no custom rom aside from root everything else is stock. All i need is somehow to edit a configuration file which i think tells whatsapp to direct it to one of the installed apps.

tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also if ur refering to media storage from recovery i have a huge amount of info on the fone.
Apparently switching the dual messenger feature on brings about this problem, the stock dual messenger app. Ive deleted it but prob remains.
