Me and my wife purchased z2 together last year. But ever since I flashed my z2 for cm, and get back to stock rom again, randomly my vedios wont play in YouTube and Facebook app. In the browser they play. untill I restart app wont play videos. My wife's one is working fine. I tried crealing cache and resetting those applications, logged out of YouTube and lodged in, tried us, UK, HongKong roms, nothing works. first few days it would be fine, then again the problem keep coming back. Every time I had to restart for the temporary solution or needed to use browsers instead. Any idea/solution?
I had this problem, but the latest roms fixed it, I'm running a ROM based on .264 Firmware and I'm not having this problem anymore.

I had been running official stock 2.2 on my vibrant for a while, but one issue was bothering me. I use Google Listen to keep up on my podcasts and every few days it won't play back anything, it will say error, unable to play file. I then try to play some music with the stock music app or even with Winamp, and again an error. Reboot the phone and its good to go again. This is how it goes every few days.
I've reformatted, via the phone, the internal flash and still had this problem. So I give up and decide to go back to Bionix V rom(I'm using the latest currently at 1.3.1). Again I'm good for a couple of days, yet tada! this morning I go to play a podcast and again it doesn't work. So whats up? Any ideas? Is it my phone?
Though some digging over at the Tmo forums, Twitter somehow has been fingered as the problem.

Hello.
I've had my Motorola [Electrify] for about a year now, and a few months after getting it, started having problems with the camera, playing music, and not receiving notification sounds. For the camera, I it would look as though it was starting, and then go back to the home screen with a flash saying "Camera cannot initialize." (or something to that effect.) When I would try to play music, it would stop and say "Sorry, the play does not support this type of audio format." It was MP3. And I would sometimes not receive notification sounds. I have been researching and battling this issue for months when suddenly yesterday, I read that for people whose camera wouldnt work, they went into the main settings and clear data for the camera, and the gallery. It worked. Camera worked and so did playing mp3s. Well, today it started not working again. This time I only cleared data for the gallery, and again everything worked like it should. I did root the phone several months ago, using Photon Torpedo. First, I wonder if using that method, if I may have messed something up. Anyone hear of this sort of thing? But then again, I am sure I had problems with this before I rooted. Second, I wonder if anyone knows a specific correlation between malfunctions and the gallery app. Third, would freezing the gallery app with Titanium Backup cripple functionality of the phone/media, and would it work to keep these malfunctions from happening?
Sorry for being long winded, but hoping I'm on to something here.
Thank you.
I posted that a few days ago, but in a different forum, (wrong phone forum) but now today I find out that clearing data in gallery was only a temporary fix, as today it did not work. This is the second or third time I thought I found a connection, but was wrong. Does anyone else have this problem and come up with an actual fix? For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the root cause of this problem is. Thank you.
I haven't heard of it. Have you tried a factory reset?

Wifes photon doing exactly same thing. what apps you have installed. maybe we can narrow it down. I did a factory reset, flashed a different rom, then installed all her apps back on. worked correctly for 3 days then no notification sounds, camera wont open and can t veiw videos on facebook or youtube. reboot the phone and all is well for a few days then the problem comes back.
Hullo, chaps
Well, My case is the following:
My Phone screen died because I let it fall too many times, and the last one lits pf people ran over it at a party XD. It was an LG L5 II.
I decided to get a new one, but I wanted the same model and brand beacuse I was really satisfied with it. So I went to buy a new one. I bought and updated its software (At that time I had no idea the update made video fail).
My phone came with YouTube 4.5.17, which works perfectly but I wanted to have the new features, so, a few days later I bought and updated it, I upgraded YouTube app from Play-store (to 5.17.6) and it stopped working, videos kind of charged but never playbacked. I tried everything. Signing in and out, clearing cache, deleting data, rebooting, cleaning ram, cleaning junk, deleting dalvik-cache, delete all app cache, virus checking, even Youtube troubleshouting, checked if played in 3g and so on. Nothing worked.
Then I had the brilliant idea that if I installed an older version of YouTube it may work, so I took my older phone (same brand and model but the screen is not working) and copied the YouTube app (5.7.38), that was working in that phone and has the feature I like (the one you can search while watching videos) but it didn't work, the same problem with playback. I tried everything again, but again nothing worked.
So, thinking it was a hardware problem, I went to the shop and changed my phone for another one. I tested youtube and it worked. I updated youtube app and it worked. So I came back home happy. Here I updated my software... then youtube didn't stop working. And finally I applied two fxcking patches. And after that... the same problem.
Just now I realised that the problem was not the YouTube app nor the hardware, but the patches LG provided through its software update app.
What can I do. How can I roll back those specific patches?
I felt so stupid, but I had no way how to prove it was the patches.
I was tons of hours today at the shop trying to change my device and I won't go again.
Screenshots attached to show the problem.
Thanks in advance.
Hi all, I have purchased a used Tab S3 with the keyboard cover from a local eBay place here in Brazil and it arrived yesterday, the tablet is in very good cosmetic condition and don´t even seem to be used at all.
First thing I did was a full factory restore from the options menu, first boot, when requested to log in my google account, the software crashed a couple of times but ended up working, so followed with all app updates and new installs for what I use regularly on my S9 plus, then I started to use it, every single app seems to lag and then crash, even the options menu crashes almost every single time, same thing with youtube, gmail and other native android apps.
I dicided then, to do a hard reset from the bootloader and well, same results, it crashed in the WiFi selection screen and haven´t got any more stable.
I am using stock rom on android oreo.
Has any one had similar problems?
Here is a link of how it is behaving

Instagram and Penup are very senstive, once I start browsing stories or start coloring the apps crash and closes itself... tried another factory reset and a cache wipe and still, no luck...

Flash the stock firmware with Odin. That will probably solve the problem.

I actually asked for a refund, I still have it with me, but not sure it was worth ta hassle, they haven´t asked for me to send it back, so if I keep it I will try to reflash the stock FW, but I might end up going straight to the tab S4 or an iPad.

I yesterday formated my phone now after finishing posting this post I look my phone it happening again with me, it starts to freeze and begin of endless aching
Same issue
I am having the same problem, at least once a week I need to format and reinstall the ROM.
me too... i have this odd and strange problem!!!! really annoying...
even in stock rom i have problem
Me three! After installing new roms (android 8, 9 and 10) and after a week or so it was freezing, showing system UI had crashed etc. I was thinking I had a hardware issue. I wonder if we all had installed a particular ROM or TWRP version and it caused this .
This forced me to obtain another Z2 to see if it was a software issue - so far its been okay but its been less than a week.
Just so you know, I have always clean installed, and to remedy the situation used 'fastboot erase system -w' to delete everything thinking it was down to bad ram or flash sectors.
I'll let you know how the new one does.
Update: the new Z2 is absolutely fine. The one that kept crashing still does this, but with less usage it takes a while for it to play up. I think the internal memory is bad, where a certain sector is unusable - if that can happen with these mobile flash drives. Apart from writing very big files onto the phone, does anyone know a formatting tool available for android?
Hi has there been any update on this.
I have tried formatting with TWRP but the problem persists.
