Recording video in 720p - time limit? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I tried to search but couldn't find anything about this problem.
The other day I was trying to record video at a kid's birthday party, and the video was somewhat long, around 6-7 minutes. Without any warning, the video stopped recording and went straight to the home screen. I tried to play the video file, but it shows up as a gray box on the phone and doesn't play on either my phone or my computer. I tried various video players.
This happened to me again, I went up to wine country and was taking a video from my car mount of the scenery as I drove down the windy roads. I stopped one video at around 5-6 minutes, the second one I didn't stop it that soon and the phone went to home screen again. Video was unplayable, same as last time.
I tried to replicate the issue recording videos, tried to push the home screen or any other buttons to replicate the issue - all times the video saved if you stopped the recording one way or another. I even tried to send myself an email to see if notifications could stop the video, didn't do anything. I recorded till around 7 minutes, and the phone went to home screen around 6:52. Same result as before.
All the files that were unplayable weren't unusually large, around 300-355 megs I believe. I'm running the stock 8gb card, and I'm rooted with baked snack 9.6. Free space on card was around 3-4 gigs each time, free space on phone roughly 80 mb. I'm using mpeg-4, all other videos I record are fine.
So is there anyways to fix this problem? It's kind of hard to always stop the phone at the right time to avoid this, and I'm wondering what's causing it in the first place. Could it be that the phone's ram is reaching capacity?

[Q] youtube app issue

Not sure why but sometimes when i search videos on the youtube app and click to play them it just says I'm unable to play them. I'll pull the battery out and search the same video and then it will play. Is there any way to fix this issue??

You can try clearing data in the app but my guess it is more stream related. Next time try toggling airplane mode on and off and see if that works. Then it is a 3G issue which you kick start when you pull the battery.
Do you BONSAI?
I ran into this same thing yesterday, and I cleared the data and everything was back to normal. Kenny was right on point, hope it works for you too.
Pulling the battery is a power cycle and seems to be the only fix. I have also noticed that after an unknown amount of time all video playback and even video recording stops working (android system, flash still works) til I power cycle. I'm thinking it has something to do with the in app between video ads. Anyway, I'm back to pulling my battery at least twice a day.
Some youtube videos are unplayable on mobile devices, like android and ios devices. This isn't anything we can control, the makers of the videos (usually music videos) decide whether or not the video can be played on mobile devices. You can try opening the video in the browser and playing it directly on the page, but chances are it'll be choppy as he'll

You pull your battery twice a day? I suggest a few things:
1. Get insurance on your phone
2. Put phone in driveway
3. Run that thing over AT LEAST 12 times
4. Get a new phone
If you're serious, you need to get a new phone because something is certainly wrong. I'm currently on about 120 hours of uptime, as in, time since the last reboot.

The power cycle is to force YouTube app to work. I watch a lot of video. The phone runs perfect otherwise.
Did you try clearing the data in the app?
Yes. Also force closed and cleared from app manager.
I had the issue where it force closed as soon as I opened it and clearing data didn't work. There was actually another entry on my phone that was causing issues. I think it was in data\data. I deleted all youtube entries (searched with root explorer) then cleared Dalvik and downloaded and installed youtube from market. Worked fine after that.
Same here, same thing happens to my visual voicemail, neither will work until I power cycle. Then they will both work fine for a while, then randomly stop again.

There are three different errors, "not available in your country", "not available on mobile devices", and "there was a problem while playing, Touch to retry" that last one is the one that makes the youtube app unusable.

New lg g3 video playback problem!! is it broken?

So I just got my new LG G3, and there has already been issues since the first week, I havent rooted or anything
When I play videos on my phone, it would always pauses for 1 to 2 seconds to a black screen every couple of minutes (1 to 3), no matter which video player I use. I already turned off display auto switch off when flipped and turned on thermal mitigation and daemon in developer options. I even reset the phone to factory 2 times and yet no change.
The other problem is when I play games, I tried playing blitz brigade for 10 minutes and it is already so hot that I could burn my fingers around the camera area. Its like a hot potato! is my phone faulty? Should i get a replacement? Thanks!
Pls help

Camera 4k mode causes phone to crash + get very hot

My phone is stock and updated, purchased day 1 of release. I have videos set to record in 4k but after a few minutes use the phone starts to get pretty warm, few minutes more and its hot and then maybe a few mins more (say 6-10) it will lock up. The only thing I can do is reset the phone....
Does anyone else get this problem using the stock camera app ?

Are you running out of storage space by chance? I read that 4k videos are limited to 5 minutes but I've not tested that myself.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using XDA-Developers mobile app
Loads of space as got the 32gb version of the phone. Its not complaining I'm out of space and I use google photos so just clears photos and videos once uploaded (it pops up and asks when I am low).
The heat lock up issue is the problem, everything else is working fine for me.

Video takes 20 seconds before switching to HD?

I've noticed that, especially in Twitter and Facebook, when I try to watch a video on my 5T, it takes the phone 18-22 seconds to switch to HD. The first 20 or so seconds, the videos play in pixelated Standard Def. This happens on wifi as well as 4G, whereas my old LG G3 plays the same videos in HD right from the start. Anyone have an idea why the 5T can't do that or what I can do about it?
The problem seems to be gone in YouTube or when playing embedded video in the browser.
Thanks!

I've been having this issue since OP3. Hasn't figured out how to fix it.

Problems with Gallery, GPS, slow SD card reading, Video recording, home not loading

after using this phone for 3 months, here are the problems I have found.
After every reboot, sorting of images in my gallery change. Most recent pictures and on top. they just get mixed and match. I use a SanDisk SD card. nothing is in order, I mean nothing. This is the thing I hate the most.
Gallery app updates itself pretty slowly, after taking a photo, it takes about 4 minutes to find that pic. in twitter app.

GPS is not a mess, it is mostly a punishment by a higher being. cursor flips other sides, it requires calibration all the time, when I turn right, it turns to left or doesn't even move. Sometimes it works, sometimes it works backward. This GPS losing me time every single day. Shame on you Xiaomi
-
it takes I'm not kidding, 10 minutes for my phone to load 200GB SanDisk card with 60gb data in it.
To boot the phone back from a reboot, I need to take the sim tray off, otherwise, the home-screen doesn't show up, I just see my wallpaper for 5 minutes. Even though the app I'm going to lunch is stored internally (let's say twitter) I cannot launch it before the sd card loads completely.
-
video recording option on the main camera app makes the phone freeze and brick. Yeah, just wanting to record a video bricked my one once. it was awesome. Had to format everything and start over.
-
Backspace key lags, sometimes doesn't recognize when typing fast. Not sure why, it is very odd.
Rooted with magist, TWRP using the stock ROM.
running Android 9, 128gb lavender
