I never noticed this problem before i rooted. when i watch movies using the stock video player, it freezes on me. it doesnt lock up m y phone, it just does play the movie. its more like the movie is paused or something. i can use a different player like playerpro to play the same movie fine, but just not the stock. if i reboot the phone, it would work again for a few minutes or a few times, like 6,7 times or so then if freezes again. i dont know why this is happening. anyone else getting this problem?

So these are two separate issues. One is general and the other more specific hoping for help on both.
1. Whenever I play music on my phone (no matter the app, i.e stock, mixzing, doubletwist, etc) I also get a laggy music/choppy. I am running ATK and I am closing everything and when I do I usuallt get 160-200 MB of RAM left. I still get the lag. Yes I turn my phone off/on occasionally, and yes my screen is off. It is really annoying to try to relax after a stressful day and your music chops up on you.

2. Trying to play a certain anime on my phone but oddly enough it isn't playing right. It is a subbed MKV...but before you start let me just say, that I have watched other subbes MKV's with RockPlayer just fine. But no matter how many times I download the file or get a different version (MKV but bigger or small res or MB) it still with lag. Some will not play it will just freeze, some will be really out of sync. I eventually got it to "work" by using a pogram to turn it into a mp4 and then tell Mobo Player to play it with Soft-decoding.
Are there any apps that would play the mkv better? So far i have tried rockplayer, qqplayer, and moboplayer. Also what are the best settings to use Hand Brake with? Or is there a better program for Evo?
any help? I am still having the issue.
actually i hv suffered from this problem for a long time
it says "sorry, this video cannot be played" in any sense rom if i play any video on it. even those recorded by using camcorder. but i can play them by clicking the thumbnail on the camcorder (on the bottom left of the camcorder after recording)
but still, i can view videos by using other apps
pls help thx
More people got this issue. I had it once, and I think I know the solution.
I had a lot of videos on my HOX. Some of them could'nt be played since I don't have the right codecs/decoders on HOX(example mkv files). Weird thing was they show up in gallery, but every video I played stoped after max 10 seconds of playing (even those that were working before).
After that I deleted the video's which can't play due missing the right codecs. After deleting them I tried again, and suddenly all movies work again.
Don't know if this is the right solution, but it worked for me. And an other work-around is to use a other media player. MX Player does a solid good job.
I have been facing this problem for a long time now. Just few minutes ago I finished watching a movie in my HOX with default media player and also mx player.it playes smoothly without any interruption. When ever any interruptions take place like msg or anything else, I pause the video to check and when I resume the video, it lags. Then I dragged the bar to the beginning of the movie and a pop up msg shows- this video cannot be played. Then It goes back again to the gallery. Then I select the movie again from gallery and then it plays smoothly from the beginning. It happens the same with mx player and vplayer.

try diceplayer. i don't have problems like you described, i do know however that the stock player sucks and may as well not be included with the phone, and vplayer is a similar situation, used to be good, but isn't quite keeping up with the times
Hi all,
I recently rooted my one x and then decided it wasnt what I wanted so I locked the bootloader and flashed back to the stock rom 1.28 on Three UK.
After that I received an OTA update and since then my videos crash in any media player. I hear that by flashing the boot_signed.img it could fix my problems but I dont know which version to use or where to get it.
I am currently on version 2.17.771.3 after the OTA on H3G.
Can anyone help me please as I am about to throw the thing at the wall.
Thanks in advance,
I have the same problem since the latest OTA.
I have tried MX Player, Mobo Player, VLC.
It seems to happen at random - sometimes I can watch 20 mins without any problems, other times it will crash after 5 seconds.
The video playback stops and screen goes back to the player menu.
Seems to only happen on SW decoding?
Stock, unrooted 2.17.401.2

What kind of video file you have play? Record by device or what kind of format? Does this crash only happen in 3rd party player or even crash on stock media player in gallery. Thanks

Ive had this happen on avi, mkv, mp4 files.
All these files worked perfectly before the 2.17.401.2 update.
So far it does not seem to happen in the stock player, but the stock player does not play all of these files and has limited subtitle support.
I have not tried recorded video files yet.
If you look at the review section on the play store for MX Player and Mobo Player, there seems to be many HOX owners with this problem.
might just be some optimization issues as Ive now tried BS Player and it seems to work well so far.
I've been experiencing this for a while now, every now and then when I'd watch movies on my tablet using the stock video player or even others such as MX Player and VLC, a crackling sound comes off that it sounds muzzled and blurry at the same time and the only thing to resolve it is to pause the movie or video then resume It right away then it's gone. The issue is it comes back time to time but rarely happens on YouTube as I recall, now I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue with the speakers, I'm not rooted and haven't modified anything at all, I've had this tablet for 2 months. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I wouldn't want to trade this is for a brand new device but if I really need to I would. Was just thinking if there was a work around for this without rooting the device.

Can you record the sound? Might be the app and the video itself if everything is fine on youtube. For my device I use allstar video player and its all fine. Could be an app issue with the video maybe? I havent tryed those video player apps but stock is fine for me also.
Not sure, thanks for the reply though. I could try recording it. Maybe it's just my speakers, cause I usually use the stock video player for my movies and that's where it happens.
