Hello guys.
So I got my Xperia P around 3 months ago and I didn't have any problems until today.
Long story short the picture is all messed up in full screen landscape mode.
So I wanted to watch a video and as soon as the video started playing I realised that something was wrong.
Here's the deal, when I open any kind of video (even on youtube) my screen starts going all crazy and you can't see anything, but if you go into the settings the screen becomes clear for a second. Watching videos in a small window on youtube is possible , but full screen landscape mode , not a chance, I don't get it, why is this happening? It looks like it's zoomed in like 500% , the sound is all fine but the picture is just broken. If I try to play a game like GTA SA it works all fine so the screen isn't broken or anything , it's just that you can't watch videos , and that's kind of stupid.
Did you have a problem like this or do you know what might be the reason this problem appeared?
I tried clearing the memory in the apps , but nothing seems to be helping , so I'm asking you guys do you know how to fix this? I'm running the 4.1.2 JB official update.
Thanks
Do a factory reset!
I think it's the only way to resolve your problem

Hey guys im pretty new to this, i have been running my xperia U (rooted) on the old gingerbread for sometime now, finally bit the bullet and unrooted it and upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 via SCC. I quite like ICS its smoother and the phone runs faster (although battery life now suffers) the only issue i am having is I cant play videos on my phone; this includes camera video in the gallery and embedded videos on the browser. I have factory reset about 100 times still hasnt worked and have tried installing adobe air, flash etc still nothing. When i click on a video in the gallery for example i try touching the play button but nothing happens, the thumbnail and video still image is fine just there is no response from touching the play button.
Am i missing something? or am i being a complete tool, iv looked all over the forums for help on this but everyone else seems to be getting some kind of error message, mines just doesnt respond to the touch....
Help please! appreciates
thanks
Chris

hey mate thanks for the reply, everyone has recommended this but i dont like having apps on my phone that i really dont need i should be able to use the stock player, but its unresponsive. this goes for embedded vids too!
ALSO
i tried re installing firmware, got it working again but then as i was using Titanium back up to remove the bloatware it stopped working (also made sure i didnt accidently remove important files or programmes that the video player is dependant on...) im stumped! not a disaster but i like to watch the office before i go to sleep at night hahahahah
UPDATE- Found the problem i deleted the "movies" app in titanium which stops the videos from playing in the gallery, what sort of stupid **** is that!
Hi guys. Firstable I want to say hello, because im new here. I will start instantly:
I've got a problem with my Xperia u. Since i've installed eXpirience v2 (before i was using stock rom and i haven't noticed any video bugs) strange thing happened to my phone :E. When i am trying to play any video using player "films" or "ES Video player" i can see semi-transparent stippes which are more visible when i'm opening gui. I'm not sure if it's caused by damaged phone or software becasue i bought my Xperia a week ago and i have installed eXpirience one hour after my phone arrived to me. I hope you will forgive me mistakes. I'm learning english yet and i can't speak perfectly. Thank you for reading my topic and i hope you will say me what is the reason of my problem and may solution.
If it's just videos, it's a software problem. Try to play your videos with MX player and if there is no changes, try to reinstall the ROM or change your ROM! I find eXperience very uglyyyyy

Seems like it's happening while playing videos only. When I'm exploring websites or menu or even playing games it looks like everyting is ok. I'll try to install new ROM and give a sign here if new soft is the solution.
Edit: MX Player is doing the same : ( I'll try to reinstall ROM and install stock for example, but i will to it tomorrow. After testing i will post here how it's working
We've got a problem. When i'm exploring internet i can see the same strippes but only horizontally and only in one part of the screen. They're also visible only at site. I can't see it on Opera bar or that bar at the top of the screen.

Change the decoder to sw instead of hw..it will work..and untick the 2d hardware rendering option in developer option
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
2d rendering is unticked by default. I have changed decoder and so far seems like everything is ok while playing videos. Hope it will keep actual condition. Thank you guys and got one more question: Why is it happening when i'm exploring websites and only if there's a picture on the screen? What is the reason?
Ho guys, i'm going Crazy with this issue, please help me....
Idk why, but Yesterday(After have bene using my mate 20 pro since August without any issue) the streaming apps won't show images but only sound. I've tried everyting like clean cache of these apps, unistalling and reinstalling them, i've tried to disable the colour correction(as i've found on internet), no everyting Is update... It seams to me like some protection issue, like if the streaming apps blocks on purpose the video playback for a lack of security(? Idk, but YouTube and now tv works fine).
As you know, the mate 20 pro Is certified wilevine L1 the maximum level of protection.
Please help me, i'm getting really annoyed.
Ps: i've Also checked if some app update have been done in the previous day, and the only one was "Google services for AR" or something similar, but disabling hit haven't solved anything.
Have you tried running the app in battery save mode? i read someone else had this issue and it worked for them. Hope this helps
Do you mean the mode you can change in smartphone settings? If so, yes and nothing changed, i've tried everyting less an hard reset that i want ti avoid as much as possible. It seams to me like prime video, Netflix and infinity turn the screen black becouse they think you are recording the screen, there Is a way tu run an app and kill all other process?
Thank you
Hi i have the Same Problem but only with Netflix. Prime is okay. Only Sound with black Screen.
I have solved the problem. Idk why, but switching from"intelligent mode" in the display resolution panel, in settings, to HD fixed the problem. Try to set HD, open Netflix and see if It works, than change again to full HD or quadHD. At Moment i'm using quad HD settings, and i'm no more facing the black screen problem. I've not tried the intelligent mode again.
Hope It can help you aswell.
Ps: try Also to disable color correction in settings accessibilities. For someone It worked, not in my case.
Thanks, the solution was Like you Said, Switch to FHD+ .now all Work. :fingers-crossed:
Hello the Problem is back. After testing a while i found an other solution. I added the 2 apps which only shows black Screen and Sound (Netflix and Amazon Prime) in the settings of Fluid ng .

I also have the black video problem on YouTube or Prime Video. I think it's related to some overlaying apps on top of the video. When I use a speedcam overlay on top of other windows I noticed that the video goes black. I also often use split windows, so I need to clear the split windows and restarts the video for the orientation to go away. The resolution of the phone does not make a difference.
Hello, I've been experiencing this problem since I uploaded to Android 10 and it has been very tedious because when I'm using my phone for watching videos or playing games, full screen stop like working and take me out of the game or when I'm watching something, it closes the full screen video and It keeps working but just minimized. Could someone help me with this problem? I've tried flashing the stock room using Lenovo desktop app and the problem is not solved. Thanks in advance.
I have been experiencing this weird bug where after a day or two, videos inside apps like prime video, youtube, vanced stop working (tested only these). The video works fine when I open youtube in browser but these app seem like stuck in a loading state. Even funnier thing is that I couldn't record my screen when this happens. The screen recording floating window hangs as well. The only thing that I know fixes this is a restart.
Please help me out guys. If you want then I can record the screen using another device.
Haven't faced anything like this on my nord 2. I advice you to do a factory reset and do check whether you are in the latest build or not.
I am facing similar issue please someone help
