On cm12.1, this problem is not happening..can someone help me please..

I had the same Problem 2 or three times, thought it was maybe a corrupt Video file/Malware that tried some stack overflow/ whatever.
This happened also on 264 and reboot fixed it.

The weird thing is, it doesn't happen on cm12.1..did you try on another rom released ie .232 or 575?...when it happen, i cannot play any kind of videos, online or offline including recording a video...this is really frustrating...its kind of somehow the video codec is corrupt after a period of time..its like a timebomb..

It happened only on 264 (Kryptonian Rom), if I remember correctly, not on mm, not on kk and also not on other lp. Not on Cm 11, 12 or 13.
It happened just a few times and then there was nothing like for 4 or 5 weeks, i really blamed the Videos from obscure sources back than.
I am still on this Rom and I didn't experience this for a long time now....

YouTube freeze

I got a freeze of the device.
I was watching YouTube redirected via Opera Mini.
The sound was ON, everything else freezed. I had to restart the phone.
Is this a YouTube issue?
Yea it is, i occured many times, but on other site that were not a problems.

I had the same problem a few times with the stock firmware (.62 I think.. or .63 ) and with the newer .73 I never had that issue. And I use youtube very often!
At mine it was the same: Everything else than sound just freezed, no button-press was recognized -> restart with [Vol UP]+[Power]. I could not reproduce it, it just happened about one time in two days or so..
I had something remotely similar several times:
When watching a video fullscreen and trying to jump back in time the video output would freeze, when rotating the phone back the normal YouTube interface would come back but the video portion would stay the same as fullscreen.
After a while a window pops up asking me whether I wanted to force close, when I choose close only the fullscreen video part is gone but YouTube is still running and responding...
I didn't have the phone freeze from this though.
edit: I'm on .67 Austrian A1 stock firmware.
Same for me :-S
And
even with one stuck,
i can reload another one
So,
"two" in same time
It happened on mine as well. I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue and the web browsing causing the phone to reboot. She said she will escalate it because it is a software issue. For now, I will be returning my Xperia S until they fix these issues. I can live without youtube for awhile but the web browser crashing the phone is unacceptable, IMO.

I had the same issue. Even when I pressed home button while watching one video I still could hear audio from this video and even Force stop wouldn't help.
People do you have same issue as I have in the SKYPE video calls on landscape mode ? People can see me but I cant see my preview? I only can see little square with some of my video

Please help! My Galaxy Note keeps randomly shutting off :(

Experienced this just a couple of days ago My screen will go blank, like it went to sleep but what actually happened was it just simply shut off! I installed two logcat applications, but I don't know jack about reading logs I want to know what causes these shutdowns The latest ones happened between 6:32-6:33AM and 6:54-6:55AM (it's 7:26AM now, my time). Please help

check if you've installed any apps that prompt the auto shut-off of your phone
previously I had this problem before by then I realized it's due to the installation of one of my fault apps.

first of all,i think this is happening because of any new app,try to remember when it was started(maybe that time you installed any app and now that app shutting down mobile? or just go to task manger and clear each app that was running and also clean memory. if problem is gone and its occur again after rebooting mobile its maybe a Rom Bug,you need to change your Rom,but before doing that try to clear apps through task manger. and see what happens
i hope that helps you
Well first of all ...
Are you rooted? What is your Rom/kernel?

Thanks for the replies guys ok, here are some more info and observations.
I was originally using CyanogenMod 9.1 when this happened. At first, I tried wiping cache and dalvik cache. But it was still the same. After a few more shut downs, it got worse. It got to the point that it shuts down after the boot animation. So, I used Clockwork Mod to revert me back to rooted stock ROM. It's not as worse as CM9, but I still get shut down. Now, here are the observations I made:
1. This only happens when my phone is unplugged. It works fine otherwise.
2. This consistently happens when I connect to the Internet, for example via a browser, didn't matter whether it was Chrome or Dolphin. Offline reading via RSS or Pocket is fine. I opened FB unplugged and I got shut down as well, so I guess it's safe to say that connecting to the Internet triggers it. When accessing the Internet while unplugged, shutdown is immediate and imminent. Plugged, I can surf just fine.
3. It also gets triggered when I play a game, but my shutting down is not immediate, unlike the one above. I am playing only one game at the moment (Great Big War Game). And I am able to play a long while before getting shut down (around 30 mins)
It wasn't like this a couple of days ago, and I didn't install anything new outside Google Play updates, this is not counting the two logcat apps I installed this morning to try to diagnose the problem.
Is there a way for me to find out what's wrong via the logcat?

maybe its a cache problem of your Browser,so try to clear cache of your Browser and if its not working Flash a new stable Rom( i recommend you Sweet Rom,find it on XDA,its very stable and smooth)
and flash that rom with Hydracore kernel.
hope that helps you
have a nice day
Hi thanks for the additional info. It seems that you have the issue persisting on a stock Rom?
Have you tried to wipe on a safe kernel (if on ics)?
Do disable any overclocking or any scripts.

Guys, just a quick update. I sent it off to the service center (reverted to stock and hid all traces of being rooted). They reflashed the phone (they say it's their standard practice to do that before considering hardware defects) but the problem still didn't go away. So, I think my issue is hardware-related
This problem is not software related. It is most definitely hardware. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. I am not able to post externally due to not having enough posts yet. However, I have had the same issue on 3 Galaxy Note 2's from Verizon. I made a video that shows exactly what is going on and posted it on the following website...
wwwDOTgalaxynote2shutsoffDOTcom
You will have to paste that link in to a new browser and replace the DOTs accordingly to get to it, but once you see the video, you will be enlightened. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.
Take a look at the video I made here if you can't get to that site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI

[Q] Random Freeze - CM10mini

When i do usuall things, phono randomly freeze. Only solution is to hard reset phone. This happens usually when i watch YouTube video.
I tried to use diffrent types off settings: without overclock, or with overclock, but it still happens.
This happens when i used another rom too.

You're using the nAa-2.6.32.60-jb-05 kernel? It's got some problem with video (be it recording or playing). With the latest MiniCM10 nightly, the problems are less, but expect it to be sorted when nAa brings the next kernel. (He's working on one last one for our devices)

In the starting screen i have 2.6.32.60-nAa-05. It freeze every hour, but only if i doing something.
I found some solution, if I play youtube video on portrait mode it freeze seldom. But I found another bug, there isn't be a camera. When i download custom camera from Google Play, it doesn't start.

Video playback issue

Hey everyone!
I have already posted this issue in my device specific forum (which is the S6), but for a lack of views and replies, I am trying it in the general section too.
So! I am having an issue with my S6 that involves video playback in both youtube and whatsapp, and possibly other apps that I am not yet aware of.
In the youtube app, my phone will play audio, but i only get to see a black screen.
Sometimes, this even changes to showing a picture of the first frame with no sound (or anything happening) at all.
In whatsapp I can click on a video and it opens a player, but it doesn't play anything.
Instead, like sometimes in the youtube app, all I get is a picture of the first frame with nothing happening.
However! youtube works fine in the browser (both chrome and firefox, no issues), and i can watch my whatsapp video's from the gallery as normal too. (but it is still a BIG problem!!!!)
Also! Sometimes when I restart my phone, everything will work fine for a little while (usually for 5 minutes or so) but after a while, it will just break again and goes back to the problem described above.
Lastly! I know on other (samsung) roms that contain an app and framework file called minimode, removing the 2 will cause this exact issue, but these do not seem to be present on my phone. Simply injecting them from other roms won't magically solve it either. (Although I haven't actually found specific nougat versions of these files yet...)
I am experiencing this on different versions of the Stock S6 Nougat AND Marshmallow firmwares, even after full data wipes (including wiping the internal storage).
I have not tried flashing back to Lollipop, but I don't really wanna go down from nougat anyway, so it shouldn't be relevant.
As it does work some times, I find it hard to believe this is a hardware issue...
But I am completely clueless as to what I can do to fix it.
Any help, advice or insight in this issue is much appreciated
Please help me :crying:

Question Really weird camera recording issue

For context, I'm running lineage (19-20220824-NIGHTLY-dre) and this issue happens on every single camera app I've tried.
If I record a video let's say like a 2 second recording and then go to open that video the clip suddenly is an hour long with basically the entire hour being a single frame and the last 2 seconds being the 2 seconds I recorded. What's even weirder is the audio from the video plays during the first two seconds and then doesn't for the remaining time. Overall really weird and frustrating and I've spent hours trying to figure out what would cause this to no avail. Additional most gallery apps won't even open the videos recording and no pc can open them either. Any ideas?
Have you tried update Lineage? It's most recent update is 9/21 it looks like your about 4 updates behind. Not sure if it'll fix your issue though as I did not use camera while using Lineage and have since gone back to stock due to a display bug.
Edit: If you do want to update it SHOULD be fairly simple. You just go to settings>system>update and it should pull whatever the newest update it and install in the background. Note that even though it shouldn't cause any errors, there's always the chance it will so just be aware and ready.

Ah ok, sorry that's all I got. You could always submit a bug report on the Lineage gitlabs and hopefully someone gets to it.
This is why I stick to US OEM Stock rom.
I can de-bloat it and EVERYTHING works.

You got a debloat list or something you follow? I could go for that see if smooths stock a little when playing pokemon go.
I have the latest LIneage, with the same problem, and am completely lost with what it could be. Recording videos in Snapchat works normally, but the stock camera, GCAM, and the GrapheneOS camera all have this issue, probably because they all use the Camera2 API.
I encountered this problem today but the uploads on Google photos came out correct (when I 'free up space' )
I am having this issue as well, just checking to see if anybody might have discovered anything
