Video not playing - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Here is my problem that I just noticed.
When I try to play a video (doesn't matter if it's a movie, or something that I record), the player is "stuck". It will not play it. Now, if I hit the "floating" screen, it starts playing without any problem, but if I put it back to full screen, it freezes again (like the "Pause" button is always on).
It happens with MX Player too.....
Any ideea what I might have done wrong?
Thanks for any suggestions.
EDIT: I did a wipe for Cache and Dalvik and fix permissions...no luck.
EDIT 2: I forgot to tell you that I'm on Stock and Rooted.

Another issue I just noticed is, the Power button is not turning
the phone off, even if I keep it pressed for 4-5 min.

I fixed it myself! But, because you didn't want to help, I'm not gon'a
tell you how I fixed it!
So there!!!!

I just got back from work.
You got to give us time to respond. After all we are not the Samsung support team as a job. We are people with different jobs and life, like spouse, children, traveling, working,, chores, cleaning, eating, fixing, enjoying media, hobbies, etc...

I was just kidding man. .lol
It was the Nova launcher. I re flashed my backup and all was good, but when I installed Nova again, it was doing it again. A quick change to Touch Wizz and back to Nova fixed it. I have no idea why it's doing that the first time you install Nova, but now we know how to fix it.

get used to it if you intend to use sense, the screen you speak of is sort of like the htc sense/rosie intro. If you dont like it you can go vanilla and use another launcher, like adw froyo,launcherpro, or even the extra launcher thats included....
Sounds like you enabled aggressive handling of apps. Can you get in there to turn it off?

Or just do a factory reset.
also, you are experiencing some isolated problems which leads me to beleive the issue is software related rather than hardware.I have experienced NOT ONE of the issues you speak of. Make sure you update prl. I can vouch for that one. My data was 90% broken till i did. Also try and wipe data, that would prolly fix everything as well.....FYI, i cannot gurantee the problem lies with your hardware OR software. Thats just my diagnosis. Good luck
Thats what it was the agressive handling of processes thanks alot guys feel like a fool.....

Heh...I did that once on my hero. I know the feeling.
some versions of spare parts come with a launcher. the problem is that when you press the home button now, it's trying to goof with /system, which is forcing the reboot. even though you may be rooted, you don't have rw privileges in /system while messing with android.
you may be able to get away with accessing /system and erasing your goofy installed spare parts app. you'll have to do that through adb shell, and the custom recovery. do a search for 'remove apps', you should find it easily enough. i think the thread was moved from dev to general, or q and a.
anything that will call a write to /system (i.e. a rooted app that needs access to it to work right) has the potential to cause the phone to reboot. when i installed adfree, it had the same effect. trying to install hosts (which write to /system/etc) caused a reboot. i had to install hosts through recovery with a push after remount.
hope that helps
Hmm I installed autokiller and it appears to work doesn't mess with anything that is
I really dunno a way of testing that its actually working though if you where looking for a way to manage memory
I was using a task killer but read up on stuff and turned it off just keeping it in case I need it for something that wont close and the phone is running great and battery life keeps getting better and better.

autokiller
People you need to be careful with autokillers!
Make sure that you are not closing down sense items.
Put anything that says htc or sense on ignore.
If not you are shutting down parts of sense. Then sense has to reboot. Witch is why you see the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.

Is this par for the course?

So picked this phone up yesterday and so far the major issues i've come across are:
Random touch screen issue - I'll use the phone normally for a while but sometimes when i'm playing a game (NOVA... which i deleted now) or strolling through a menu (happened in olive tree reader and the amazon store) a small area of the screen will spaz out... it's also happened on the stock lock screen and then persisted a few seconds after I rebooted to get rid of the issue. It's annoying because just as soon as I'm ready to chalk it up as a fluke or some random app issue... it shows up again somewhere else. Now.. this isn't during "one handed operation".. the device is in my left hand.. no fingers on the screen... using my right index finger to do the navigating.
Quite a few apps just don't work - all of my gameloft stuff, Age of Zombies, the video creator app (Samsung... your own freeking app?!?), and a handfull of others either crash immediately, don't start, or crash after seemingly opening just fine. Sidenote... so after a night off it's feet Age of Zombies is working this morning.
signal issues - the reception on this phone it utterly attrocious. I'll go from 5 bars (never the full 6) down to 2 without moving... which means it's a grip issue. I've cupped the bottom portion of the phone (around where the capacitive buttons and the back "lip" are) and watch my signal degrade while removing my hands brings that signal right back... also.. i'm ONE ROOM over from my wireless router and the signal hovers around none to 2 bars on the wifi indicator... HOWEVER... now that I'm at work.. i'm on my corporate wifi.. great reception... cell strength? 5 or 6 bars.... what the feezy.
So.. in a nutshell are these issues normal? should I return this for another unit? I absolutely LOVE this phone... as a pda. It's fast, i dig the large screen, i heart android and touchwiz is actually kinda cool so i may not root this thing with all that said it's just been a little unreliable and I need to be sure that this device will work when i need it to.
Thanks for the input guys.
Reception is a known problem that sprint has acknowledged, they say they are working on a fix.
The screen spazzes out when charging, if it is spazzing out at other times your phone is not normal.
Apps crash sometimes when I start then, but restarting the app usually works fine.
All mobile OS's are beta because they are young. In the 90s windows was even more unstable, and became more stable with time.

Ok.. so the only REAL issue i have is the crashing apps... which will hopefully get better over time then?

The screen spazz thing ( if not on stock charger ) is enough to make me go in and exchange it. Mine has none of the probs you have

If you have probs with apps crashing, try a factory restore. Also check when the app was last updated by the dev, it may just be out of date and written for 2.1

It's not likely to be an outdated app, these were all apps I was using (successfully) on my G2x, until I sold it and bought the GS2 the same day.
I'm glad to know these are KNOWN issues that either have reasonable workarounds or are being worked on. I can deal without games, all of my essentials (productivity apps) are working. Thanks people.

oh yeah... also, heading to the local sprint store in a minute to test out this theory.. i do remember that i was charging while playing deathworms when it spazzed on me... the lock screen as well, but whenever i messed with the in store demo units... no problems. I may get an exchange anyway though. Thanks!

[Q] Huge lag in cetrain widgets and activity keypad

This started happening today just randomly and I've rebooted my phone many times but the problem is still here. My widgets like extended controls and On/Off widgets have a 20 second delay between me clicking them and their function being done.Other widgets are completely responsive and lag-free.
Also when I try to call someone it takes about a minute before my phone starts the actual call.If I try it more that 3 times Activity Keypad crashes and locks my sim card.But when I'm reciving a call,it opens right away.
Please help me with this I dont want to go trough another reflash

[Q] HOX Loosing the plot?

Hi all, heres the story:
At first, I thought I was loosing my mind, I kept checking my phone and the WiFi was always off, which is weird for me.
Anyway I turn it back on and go about my day, check half an hour later its off.
I was like "im sure I turned that back on" anyway same again half an hour later.
So I was watching it this dinner, and low and behold I watch both my WiFi and my network connections restart themselves like someone was switching them on and off, but the WiFi didn't re-connect and stayed off, wereas data re-connected ok.
It goes on ! I then realised that my phone was calling people by itself, which is also weird as theres no buttons to accidently press to call people? (ITS TOUCHSCREEN!!!)
Anyway, today I recieved a text off someone asking me why the heck I'd just sent them map co-ordinates.
So someone or my phone is sending people map co-ordinates....
The ONLY thing I can think of is Cerberus, could Cerberus be causing this?
Is this the phone telling me its on its way out?
Any solutions?
THANKS ALL !
You have kind of answered your own question. Just uninstall Cerberus and see if it fixes it.

As stated before, I will try removing Cerberus but would like any information or suggestions please.
Malware? Maybe you installed an app that's malicious.
Hickory, Dickory, Dox...Snowflake approves of my HOX....

Thanks for all your reponses, thats the thing I'm really picky over apps, and havent really installed an app for months on my HOX, as I generally do everything on my N7 now.
UPDATE:
I un-installed Cerberus, cleared cache and tried to find any left behind data(wasnt any?)
Also deleted my device off the Cerberus app website
LOW AND BEHOLD THIS MORNING CONNECTIONS TURN OFF AND ON?!?!?!
What can be doing this? I only have apps from trusted Vendors such as Natwest, Vodaphone, couple of games, Tasker etc :/
Any ideas?
Can it be Tasker? It's supposed to automate tasks. Maybe there are some causing all this. Try freezing it.

I also thought it could be tasker, but Tasker has been setup for months and months, and not changed for atleast 2/3 months+
I checked tasker, and theres only 3 profiles, which have nothing to do with any connections.
They're profiles such as, plug headphones in and music player appears.
PS - Cannot freeze, stock and un-rooted.
My mate had similar issues with his SGS2. Upon examining the phone I discovered an app called Blackmart Alpha, I discovered it was a program which downloads cracked/patched apps. Did a hard reset of the phone and all was fixed, well not all, he was very pi$$ed with me for losing a heap of apps.

I enjoy supporting the developers that make apps, and if that means buying a paid version of an app then so be it.
I don't download any dodgey things, all my downloads are through the play store.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I've been lurking around XDA for a while looking for a good build about the new CM12 for my i317m and Ive decided to get yours.
You seem to give a good feedback concerning bugs and etc..
I am currently running the latest snapshot of CM11 while writing these lines and I have been pretty satisfied with this ROM so far.
Im an heavy user of my phone since i use it to almost everything concerning my job (highway trucker) so, i believe ill be able to give you the best feedback for the developlement of this CM12!
Ill keep you updated!
Ive CLEAN flash cm12 in my note 2.
First thing first, it looks absolutely amazing!
But first bug that ive encountered, Netflix.
It just wont open.
For the rest, ill keep you updated!
Ok, here's a MAJOR DEFECT on my day 2.
The phone keeps rebooting in this particular order; 3 soft reboot and normal reboot.
And it's keeps on going like that non-stop.
The GPU is ****ing hot right now, dunno if this might help but I'm going to flash the old cm11 on it; im just unable to use the phone...
Keep me updated, thanks.

Don't think there's a need for the info. It's a known issue. Fixes are in progress. That's pretty much the last major issue left. Camera, Data, GPS
all are working.
***** And it looks like he's posted an update with the fix .......
I was just wondering if y'all have tried the 12/20 build... It should help fix the wifi crash/reboot issues. (edit: Sorry disksteele... Didn't see your red text... I really should start paying attention before posting... lol)
When using the gps, the phone will run hot. It shouldn't get hot enough to do any damage in most conditions, but if you're using gps while charging with the phone in your pocket or on the dashboard during a sunny day with the heater on... Who knows... Good luck!
Have a good one!

Awesome Thank you !
Hey guys,
Ive given a new chance to this ROM and ive gotta say that it runs pretty great!
However, despite a minor bug at the charging logo, ive hit 2 bugs that kinda annoy me.
-Netflix: stay on the opening page and calls a fault code after 5 mins.
-Music while plugged on headphone/car audio jack: songs just stops to play all of a sudden for no apparent reason.
Anyway, this build is pretty great while waiting for the official update.
Thanks for this beauty!

I think there's a drm issue with the lollipop builds for now preventing Netflix from working... But I could be mistaken.
The headphone issue is probably the same "OK Google" issue that popped up in the KitKat builds. Disable "OK Google" in Google Now/Google Search and see if that helps with media playback through headphones. Good luck!
Have a good one!

For the record, ill point out something real quick that did happen to me yesterday.
Ive been going kinda far away from civilisation to go at my Xmas party. Ive got to mention it because I wasnt able to get my data from time to time.
Got to mention that went i was stock on my phone, everything was normal. I wasnt getting a full signal but my data was on all the time.
It is possible that Ive got to a shorter signal range with this mod?

I have found that the lollipop builds are slow to switch from LTE to 3G or below, so there can be a fair bit of data interruption while LTE signal is low or drops out. In some areas around me, I have to manually change to 3G in order to have a stable connection, because the LTE signal isn't strong enough to remain stable, and the phone wouldn't switch automatically to the stronger 3G signal.
Have a good one!
Here's a little update concerning certains bugs that Ive mention above.
Music player:
Even with "Ok Google" turned off, there's still a noticeable glitch while a song is playing. After 2-3 minutes, the song would just pause itself. Ive even tried playing with the equalizer (Audio FX in this case), turned on or off, the result stays the same.
Data loss:
Changed manually to LTE to 3G that it worked. I had to wait 2-3 minutes before having it back tho.
Hope this helps!

I flashed CM12 quite a few times already. Here are the problems that I have been facing.
Email app takes a long time to sync. And I cannot use corporate account.
When I touch something, the running application would be interrupted quickly like flipping the lights on and off.
And most importantly, the audio on the phone is too low. I tried many ways and could not get it to go higher. I can't even carry a conversation on it.
So now I'm back to my old rom.
netflix not an issue
just follow this post replace exactly the lib files , rename the old one in the folder as *backup...and netflix will load

Gotta admit that Ive been facing the same issues right here and Ive got some more to add on, unfortunely..
Navigation with Maps/Waze.
I better use it the old way which means, directions by directions. As a trucker myself, this is really annoying since my deliveries depends on it.
Incall volume.
It's low and to fix it, you have to go out of the phone app while calls is still on, get the volume up to keep going. Still dunno if my voice is okay on the other side.
Data/signal loss.
You don't have to go really far away from big cities to complety lose all lf your signal bars.
Plus, the fact of losing data pretty easily and having to switch from LTE to 3G make thing slightely better, doesn't really helps...
Unfortunately, i really loved this ROM on the first sight and wish hard as hell to give a second chance. But right now, i had to go back to my old one.
P.S.: I am posting these informations to help OP/developers where to look at. I dont want this to be seen as some negative feedback from my sorry ass...
Hope this helps once more!
Gotta say I'm loving this ROM. I'm on AT&T i317, coming from AICP Kitkat, and this thing is definitely a daily driver. Been on it for 3 days now. Good battery life, camera works, video playback is good (except embedded within browser or apps sometimes, but that has always made my phone crash while on Kitkat, on occasion.) In Chrome, I get some "distortion" or artifacts when scrolling up on down on pages where images or video are embedded. Have never seen this behavior before. Baseband is good and strong on LTE. I did notice one or two times where it lost signal for about 15 seconds then reacquired. Netflix is a no-go but I will try crislleen's suggestion and posted link above. GPS seems right on, but I haven't done a turn-by-turn trip yet. Everytime I open Google Maps, it snaps right to my location.
I only needed to clean flash the 12/23 ROM and then applied the sensor patch as mine were not working. But working great after that patch. Netflix patch is next.
Is support for this ROM going to continue? Or was it just an experiment?
Big thanks to all involved in development. Great work guys.
