Wifi-direct won't work anymore. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey folks,
I have the following problem:
I used to watch movies on my Sony TV via wifi-direct and everything worked out fine (connctet to the TV, pressed the little button in the left top corner of the videoplayer to send it to TV and it worked), even on Omega v36 custom ROM. Suddenly it happened that it just won't work anymore, it just stopped. One day I could still watch a movie on the TV, but the other day a notification popped up, the player was eitherway broken or I should check the network.
I did nothing to the phone, wifi-direct just stopped working. Now I am using Omega v37 and it still does not work, the little sign to send to TV, when conncted, does not even show up anymore.
Anyone any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Since I am german I hope you all understand, what I am trying to say

[Q] HyDrOG3N-ICS problems, help anyone? :)

Hello fellow XDAers!
Last night i flashed HyDrOG3N-ICS ROM, and i must say it's very impressive... most of the things run smoothly and it has alot of cool configurations. but i have some problems, which is pretty critical cause i need them to use the phone on a daily basis, and i would love to acutally do so. Hope you can help me with these stuff:
- I can make calls out of the phone, but when a call is incomming to the phone, it is automaticly cancled. I can see it in the calllog. I thought this could have something to do with the modem, but because i can make calls and becuse the phone notices that there is a call trying to get in in it porbably isnt. Anyway, I live in Norway, just as u know if there could be something with the net/modem.
- The home button doesn't work. It can wake up the phone from sleep, but nothing more than that. ( i have done the "longpress home action ---> show recents" config.)
- The MHL (HDMI converter) over to my TV doesnt work properly. When i connect it the picture on the TV freezes, but the sound works for a few min before the whole thing crashes and the TV turns black. After this I must reconnect to make it work
- I can't play AVI files with the player. I don't know if this is a bug, but i thought .AVI is a pretty standard format and should be able to be played by the mediaplayer.
Thx for ur attention, hope u can help me!
BTW: here is the mainthread for this ROM:

AVI is not a format its a container so check your format .
AS for the rest factory reset or reflash the rom .
Still not working change the rom .
jje
Did you try to reflash the phone amd did you wiped everything before flashed that rom at first place?
ah, thx! it worked

[Q] Two Major Problems with the S3 (Help)

Ok so I've had the S3 since yesterday and needless to say its a pretty incredible piece of kit.
However I've encountered two problems I can't get around;
1. I can't seem to get my music player onto the lock screen to easily change track, I've tried a variety of players but none seem to take over the lock screen no matter what settings are used? Anyone know a fix?
2. Whenever I use the internet on my phone using desktop mode or any internet browser, when trying to watch videos other than on Youtube I always get the "You need Flash" instead of the video, I never had this problem on my Note...
Are there any quick fixes to this? I don't want to root my device...
For 2) it's probably a case of you needing to go the Play Store and downloading Adobe Flash

I would have thought by the fact i'd posted here it would have been assumed Id already downloaded Flash .
I have Adobe Flash Player 11 with the fix for ICS, however playing videos I could on my Note just isn't happening on the S3 and i'm not sure why!

If there are videos with commercials, it can be that the popup blocker of the browser blocks them.
It happened to me too just because the website I tried, needed to have the commercials downloaded first before it could start the playback.
Are you using the same browser on both phones?
About the first problem it works ok for me so i really dont know. (stock music player)
the above two problems are not major!! i will tell you a major problem and that is an auto focus issue while recording video looses its focus and moves too and fro awkwardly video help help!
I have the same problem as number 1: The stock music player on the galaxy s3 does not appear to have any control on the lockscreen. It's strange because on my Galaxy S it works perfectly.. Anybody have ideas on how to resolve the issue, without going to 3rd party apps/widgets?
It's annoying but at least you can pull down the notification bar and get it there.
Also the headphones do volume but not tracks... F'n annoying.
I find the music player a bit ****, wish I had access to Google Play Music from 4.0.
The only way is pull down the notification bar

In order for you to play the videos using the browser, you need to switch back to android mode(phone mode), the flash player, especially the adobe one, do not support desktop mode.
To sort it, you need a flash player that supports desktop mode which i don't know if there is already existing app like that.
So, there is no way to get it working properly, only notification bar? That's weak..
Btw. I have also problems with flash. Youtube works fine but sometimes it just keeps loading and doesn't play ( from the internet browser). What's the deal with all these issues, I thought SG3 will be flawless..
I wanted to follow up on this, I find the music player extremely annoying. The headphones not changing track I can live with for the time being.
Any solution on how to access the on screen music player besides the notification bar from the lock screen?

[Q] MHL adapter not showing output properly.

Hey guys, I've been trying to get my MHL adapter to work with no joy. It worked AGES ago for a bit but it hasn't in a while.
I plug in the USB power, and then plug it to my phone, and then plug the HDMI in. If I do this while my S2 has the screen on it reboots...I have to have the screen off to prevent this.
Once I've plugged it all in, the lock screen comes up on my telly, but the cursor doesn't blink. When I get past the lock screen, the image on my TV doesn't update. If I start playing Vice City, the intro videos will play, but when it gets to the menu screen the image freezes on the intro. If I click past the intro vids, the image freezes on wherever it was in the intro video, on the TV, while working fine on my phone. If I start playing the game, sound comes through my TV speakers but the video remains frozen.
I've tried different ROMs, and I've read every post I can find on here and tried plugging all the bits and pieces in in various orders but nothing seems to work.
Any advice? Thanks.
Did you try stock rom?
Sure have. What I've figured out is that video files which use hardware decoding will work - they will show on my TV properly with sound. Soft-decoded videos, and any app or menu screen or anything else, will not.
It sounds like you're not on a stock rom as this is exactly what happens on non stock roms videos are the only things to play.
Try moboplayer, when I was on 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 stock rom all videos work fine(no matter if soft or hard decoding).
Now Iam on 4.1.2 leak and I have similar issues.
right, 4.1.2 leaked is bugged like hell when it comes to mhl. hope stable will be good.

I'm on the 4.1.2 leak and mhl is working just as well as in ics
New leak is confirmed working.
I use Neat ROM, works fine there.

[Q] [Fixed] NO video type working

All right . I have a rooted droid DNA running a venom Rom with HTC sense 5.5. I don't know what happened but I was adding a bunch of xposed features last night. All of a sudden, today all types of video players stopped working. My native video player, won't work. YouTube keeps giving me the tap to reload error. Internet videos keep telling me the file wasn't found. Even instagram videos don't work and just display a still image. I have no ideas what is going on. I cleared the cache, restarted in safety mode, rebooted several times, and still nothing will work. Please Help!!!
Edit: I can't even record videos on my phone anymore.
Edit: [Fixed] the app #MirrorEnablor had a option that messed it up .
