Hi everyone,
Has anyone else experienced any video playback issues with their GPE Z Ultra after updating to 5.0? I can't play back any downloaded video using Play Movies. It makes no difference whether I'm storing internally or on the SD card, I get the same issue. No image. A few seconds of Audio. App freezes and crashes. I've contacted Google and they can't figure out what the problem is so they told me to go to Sony. Sony told me to go back to Google.. You all know the drill..
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all very very much.

So I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 phone with the 2.1 update. I've noticed that whenever I try to watch my youtube videos in HQ it'll start playing in HQ for 2 seconds then make a loud noise and it'll reboot my phone.
Can anyone help me with this? I can watch youtube videos in normal quality but not in HQ.. Can anyone help me? Its really frustrating!

Did you try it on wifi??
I have no problems with wifi, but on 3g...its not the best quality.

I have the same problem, at first I thought it was problem of a custom ROM, but after I factory reseted with SEUS, I still get 10 minute reboot loops, cant play games longer than 2 minutes, crash, random reboots all the time, guess i have successfully killed my x10
Hi,
I've got a 2013 Nexus 7 and a Western Digital MyBook network drive. Until recently both have worked perfectly and I've always been able to watch stored videos without problem.
Recently I've been finding that videos keep stopping after about 5 minutes and refusing to restart. Only thing that has changed is upgrade to Lollipop... This the likely culprit? I hear that Lollipop has caused video playback issues, but mine is different to those described online.
I'm pretty sure it's not a NAS or W-LAN fault as I can play vids on my HTC One (M7) without problem (running KitKat)
Anyone got any tips for me?
Cheers!
hello z2 users!!.
recently i bought my z2 in replacement with my old N7000 note1. i used my note 1 in recording video of myself playing guitar and at the same time playing MP3 backing track on the same phone. i have tried that features on other phone like lenovo and its working fine. i like this kind of feature where in our phone is a multi task.
when i test it to my Z2. play the music on the walkman app, minimize open the video camera. and start recording suddenly the music stops. i tried the other way around, open camera app, start video recording, it stop upon minimizing the camera app.
Now my question is:
1. is this a common issue of Z2? is it normal on sony phones.
2. is there a way that my phone can use this feature?
i hope i get reply on my queries as i am hoping to use the phone like this

That's normal on Sony phones. You can try with some other camera app like Google camera.

thanks for the reply man, i have tried the google camera but still same issue. btw i used CM rom in my N7000, its working.
Maybe CM rom of Z2 will work or it may give the same output as the stock rom.

Maybe, but you must try it. So if this function is important to you unlock your BL and try with CM.
i found an app that works

I updated to Lollipop 5.02 and everything went smoothly..
Only issue I have experienced is with Google play movies..
When streaming the movies all works as it should however when I download the movies to my Tablet Z for offline playback I experience sound dropouts and video lockups for several seconds through out the movie making movie viewing impossible...
I have tried clearing the cache in google play as well as doing a factory reset of my tablet and reinstalling Google play all to no avail.....
All downloaded Vudu and Disney movies work perfectly, its only google play that the issue arises...It worked perfectly in Kit Kat..
All my other devices running 5.02 have no issue with Google play just the Tablet Z...
Any ideas on what I can do....
I've had the same exact experience. did you ever find a solution?

Nope...Still suffers from lockups and audio dropouts...Very frustraiting...
Vudu Works perfectly...And my Samsung S6 with lollipop 5.02 has no problem with Google play movies...
Problem has to be with the Sony upgrade....
It never had a issue with Kit Kat..

Did you try a factory reset, to see if it cleared up the issue? I haven't tried that yet but if you did it and had same result, then I'm not going to waste my time.

Tried a factory reset twice ...Still the same problem....
You could still try and see if I helps in your case...
I will just wait for the 5.1 update that is coming and hope it solves the problem...
