Hi, I own Galaxy S3 for T-mobile(SGH-T999). It's rooted and runs on stock ROM. I have been using S3 with no problem for few weeks, but recently I noticed that video randomly freezes. Whenever I play any video for about 1~10 minutes, video and audio freezes. However, subtitle still plays and progress bar moves as if the video is playing. I tried playing video with native player as well as MX Player pro. Both with the same result. I tried playing it from SD card as well as on phone memory, and tried rebooting multiple times with no success. I tried the option "Show CPU usage" in Developer option, and noticed blue bar on the top with three numbers when the video froze. I played both 1080p video and 720p video both with h.264 codec. I stored it and played from both phone memory and Class 10 64GB MicroSDXC(Sandisk) which benchmarked at around 10MB/s write and 30MB/s read. I don't see any reason why there would be problem like this as same exact video files played very well with no problem on my old GS2(SGH-T989). If anyone's got idea what might be going on, please share with me.

this is regarding those apps that can download youtube videos onto the sd card to be viewed later without having to stream the videos again and again...
ive noticed the videos are all off sync. the funny thing is i tried different players and they are never consistant. one time yxplayer screwed up my mp4 video so bad i had to not even the default player would play my videos, they would play the first half second then the video will freeze but the sound keeps playing.
has anyone encountered this? i wonder if this is due to the hardware but my g1 can play the same videos without problems.
Got 2.2 from the latest OTA and have been encountering some video issues. Just wondering if anyone else has them, and if there are fixes.
The major issue I have is videos lag and stutter. With 2.1, 720p videos recorded from the rear camera worked flawlessly. Now, those videos have short stuttering pauses every second. It makes it very hard to watch. 480p videos do not exhibit this problem.
Is it because the data is not being streamed off the SD card quick enough? Some evidence to that is that the thumbnails in the Gallery take noticeably longer to show up.
In 2.1, when I long press on a video in Gallery and select Details, it would show resolution and framerate. This info is not present in the current Gallery. Is there a fix for that?
I'm particularly interested in framerate, because in 2.1, I noticed that videos would be recorded at low fps when the lighting was dark. (some vids I have even dropped to 10 fps!) Perhaps HTC couldn't fix the low fps recording problem and instead just swept it under the run by not displaying the framerate info at all.
Videos played through Rockplayer worked fine in 2.1. Now, the audio is just loud static. Is this related to the codec change in 2.2?
When I come across a .3gp video file with Astro, clicking on it will come up with a "3gp file type missing" message. A workaround of longpress-> open will open it, though.
Hi all,
I have an unrooted unbranded Desire on latest firmware.
When I record a sample 30 second HD video it plays back on the computer fine.
However, when I try to playback a HD video from the gallery on the phone it stutters and plays very badly the first time. If I play it again immediately it is perfectly smooth. It's like it has cached it the second time so it plays smooth.
Can someone check this on their phone and tell me if perhaps it's just my card speed (class 2). I think it may be the card because of the fact it only stutters the first time like its trying to read/play at the same time. On second playing it's fine.
any feedback would be great. thanks alot!!!
Would anyone like to try and replicate it? just record a 30second HD video and play it back on the phone. Is it smooth on first playback or does it stutter.
I think it might be the memory card, but don't want to shell out 60euro on a class 4 unless I'm mostly sure. thanks alot
Myself and others have been experiencing much slower SD card speeds in Froyo than in Eclair. See this thread and this one. I think that your problem could be related, and if so buying a faster SD card probably won't help.
thanks Koider
roms ive used cm7 , virtuous quattro and andromadous.
Problem I've been having is the videos I've recorded recently in the past (pre ics roms) have never played back smoothly. The sound plays fine but the video is basically a slide show or a still image at times. The file is not corrupt because transferring the files to a computer ,the video is fine. Anyone know whats up.
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.
