[Q] Video playback issue - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently have been getting a white screen while playing video, whether it's flash or downloaded videos. I'm assuming it's an issue with the kernel I'm using (netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-bfs-sbc-havs-more-universal-signed) because when I flash to the leaked gingersense kernel, video works. I'm using the VirusROM GengerSense ReV™ B2.
The only problem with assuming it's the kernel is that video worked yesterday while using the netarchy kernel. I can't figure out what I might have done to break it. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I've tried after market apps to view video and it all leads to the same result.

If it works on one kernal and not the other, then it definetly sounds like the kernal is the problem.

Thanks. I suppose it's the price to pay for incredible battery life. I just can't understand why the issue would be intermittent.

Gotta love intermittent problems. There are no 'rules' saying that all problems are consistent and logical,unfortunately. they can certainly leave ya scratching your head.

Hydra kernels problems

Just tried every kernel Hydra has to offer and every one put my phone into a bootloop. Had to revert back to stock.
Any tips to get these working?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I just think some phones can take it, and some cant...thats all i can help
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I used the OC/UV ov, kernel #2 from Hydra. It was working ok but made my keyboard really laggy.
Sent from my rooted Incrediblę
My keyboard is sometimes laggy but usually really fast. I've isolated the issue to the dictionary, I'm sure if auto suggest was off you wouldn't notice it.
Although, after using it for a day, the keyboard lag seems to have gone. Maybe it was repopulating or something.. no idea in this department.
Edit: these kernels are meant only for froyo

What kernel are you using?
Ziggys, kings#11, ztest, and all of netarchys ones didn't work. They worked but they had the line towards the top. Like the frame rate in that line is horribly slow. Possibly sites it have something to do with clockwork?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
OHHHHH i know exactly what you meant, its happened to me once when I flashed a netacrchy kernel. Yea that is definately the kernel, and if you get the lines, switch your kernel. You can try savaged-zen...they work for me nicely.

So you had the netarchy problem too?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well I had the problem running CM7, but yes, the netarchy kernel gave me the same problems, so I quickly flashed a new kernel, and good as new.
I switch the kernel and still havethe line please help
Are you wiping your cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel?
Haven't tried zen yet but all the other kernals get the line through them.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Everything and still
Same thing for me, even switched to amon. Still happens. We need help.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Its not the recovery, its the kernel. The same kernel I run for the same rom may not work for you or vice versa cuz every phone reacts to the differently. And you need to use either a sense/aosp kernel respectively, i.e netarchy won't behave on CM7.
Here is a list of kernels you can download and try : http://home.comcast.net/~evobenchers/downloads.html
These are savaged-zen kernels only: http://mirror.munkibizness.com/
These are ziggy kernels: http://www.ziggy471.com/downloads/
Also give a kernel 2-3 days to set in...you won't see an effect immidiately/
Still havethe line in thescreen ive flash calcukin

When I overclock my g2 it wont allow me to play videos any more

Hey yeah, haha.
A little new to this rooting game but i havent had this issue til now. Just jumped up to virtuous 1.0.2. And whenever i got to over clock it it will not allow me to watch videos any more. Im not sure if im using the right kernal or what but if someone has a idea for me that would be awesome! Thanks.
Are you using advance karnel? Am using the standard karnel and without video problems
Sent from my Vision using XDA Premium App
Right now I am just using the standard kernal. Ill reflash it and see if that fixes it... hope it does

CM7 android system too high.

Okay so I noticed that even with the Tiamat kernal my battery life hasn't been great. I always see above 60% android system usage. I recently did the "GPS FIX" but I never upgraded my pri or NV. I need some help, I may skipped a step.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I would update all of your radios. Also, I think in settings under privacy, unclick back-up. Also, have you considered turning down how often your phone syncs?
It also could be a rogue app stealing resources... Let's start with my first suggestion, radios are in my Sig.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Okay this is weird, I turned off background data and now no system use. Is that saying it's a rogue app?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
How many days was it high android use?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Ever since I flashed the GPS fix but possibly after Google+ app. Either way its at 81% usage.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It's still high as hell ATM. 77% consumption. I don't understand. Wish I could get some help.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
There is a fix for it you'll have to search for it I only saw it once
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Someone had a link for me in their sig but they changed it...and I searched to no avail. Sad cause I don't want to ditch cm7 for something so dumb. Just want my GPS to work without having my android system through the roof. Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo is on the other line. -.-
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I had the same problem. Here's the fixes I did before I finally just ditched CM7
I updated my radios (and everything else).
All my syncs were on 4 hour intervals (except weather = 1 hour)
lowered screen brightness
uninstalled facebook, g+ and gVoice (my 3 highest used apps).
rebooted about 6 times
held it wrong
prayed to the gods of android
flashed Synergy RC2
So if you were considering doing those, don't. They aren't the problem.
Ironically, my GPS has never had a problem on any aosp rom (and I've tried darn near all of them), but like you, even with the kernels my stuff just wouldn't work right. I think it has something to do with our phones just not liking the kernel. Give toastch's "godmode" kernel a try or flash back to stock to see if that helps.
Ok so switch kernals or just switch to synergy?

CyanogenMod 7 GPS Issues.

I'be been running cyanogenmod 7 on my Evo and have been experiencing GPS issues from the start. I turn on GPS and open Google maps and it rarely tracks my position correctly. So of course I can't really use the navigation app because of this. When I revert back to my stock rooted rom I don't have this issue. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is there a way to fix this?

Ummm yea. This is one of the biggest issues with cm7 from the start, and it's on the first post of every thread about this rom.
Is there a way to fix this?

Have you read any of the information about the rom? There are a few things, including the flashing sense rom ##gpsclrx# trick, but most of the time that only helps temporarily. If you want fully working gps, flash a rom other than cm7.
Wow I guess I really missed that point. And I guess videos I have seen incorrectly stated everything works.
Thanks for the answer

Look galandy thread in the dev thread. You find some GPS zips in there. They work great for me

Rope-a-dope had them in the Deck's gingerbread thread. They work great.
