Snapchat video bugged - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hiya, this is my first post on XDA developers, but I am a relatively experienced user. I'm a licensed computer technician and have been using XDA for years.
Anyways, to the point! Currently, I'm using SlimKat on my note 2 ( i317 ). It works great, but theres only one thing that I am having troubles with, and have not been able to fix. When I'm using the app Snapchat and I'd like to record a video it only records for 3 or so seconds before it automatically cuts it off. I searched up my problem, and found a few solutions that worked for other people.
- Disabling hardware keys
- Going into Snapchat settings and change the video quality to low
Apparently this is a problem with all AOSP based ROMs.
Neither of these worked, and I'm not interested in changing ROM's right now. Anybody have any suggestions that might fix this?

What worked for me was turning it to low. Rebooting and taking a video then turning it back to auto and rebooting again. Hope it helps

Cannot connect to camera

When I first start the camera app after a reboot I get the message "Cannot connect to camera". If I try to start the app again it works fine every time until the next reboot.
I've tried a factory reset which worked for a few reboots until the message started happening again.
I'm running the latest stock rom and can't figure out what's changing to cause this.
Any ideas?
Had you got that problem on earlier versions of stock ROM?

Sorry, I haven't had the phone long enough to have an older version of the stock rom.
Even I had this error once, I had to reboot the device to get that fixed.
This was the 1st time it happened.
One thing is it happened while shooting a 720p Video.
I don't think it's software problem, probably camera is damaged, or its flex cable. I had the same problem for a moment after disassembling my Play but I forgot to completely connect flex to the connector.
I think the only way to fix your problem is to bring Your Play to authorized service or (if your phone has warranty) send it to SE.

It could be but it just seems odd that its only the first time using the camera after a reboot. Try the app a second time and every other time its fine.
I would have though if it was the flex cable it would be all the time or happen randomly.
Well.

I'm having an issue like that right now. However, I started getting it after I messed with a ton of system files and the framework-res.apk
Did you do the same? I'm working on figuring out what went wrong, it's definitely a software issue for me.
Possible Problem and Solution
Hey guys,
I noticed something really curious after having an extensive conversation about a few r800's and a Moto Cliq XT about camera issues and I've isolated what might be the problem that people are unknowingly creating.
Status Bar Widgets
Having the LED/Flash/whateveryouwanttocallit light as a widget toggle in Android 2.3.x seems to use the same line of code as the camera. Or something techy like that. IDK. I was about to fix it after a ton of annoying work. But the easiest way (and fastest really) that I came across was just turning the widget off. Removing it completely. In fact, just get rid of that entire feature in 2.3.x and save it for like, IDK, 3.0+
Really hope this helps that random person out there who needs it.

Cerberus and CM 10.1

I've been fiddling with my Cerberus installation, and I've come to find out it can't do anything with the cameras. When I send a remote request to take a picture or record video with the cameras, the phone either freezes or it sends me an unreadable file. It does everything else fine, like display messages and set alarms and GPS tracking. Seems to be a problem it has with the camera. Is this a known problem?
Just a guess dince im not at all sure, but possibly Cerberus hasnt been made fully compatible with 4.2.2?
Otherwise it may be an isdue with CM. Ive seen several posts about camera issues after flashing CM. (Doesnt seem to affect many people, but a few have mentioned it.)

Im having the same issue. Did you ever solve this? I went on the Cerberus forum to discuss it. Waiting for response.

Camera crashes when zooming

I got this issue lately when I try to zoom while recording video the camera app crashes and the recorded video is not saved (is corrupted and not playable). This used to work in the first week I got the phone, I remember using it at least once. I tried clearing data and cache for the app, but no joy.
Anybody else has this issue ?
For me it works just fine on Full Hd - 1080p and UHD - 2160p
This problem appears to be specific to the T-Mobile version. I asked around on Reddit to verify. I too have this same issue. Has anybody found a fix? I'm using the Google camera for right now as I don't need 4k video recording. Maybe a software reimage would help? It's possible they were shipped with a bad image on the device.
I had the same crash in my att device the first time I used it. Exactly the same . video and zoomed and I noticed it didn't refocus then it locked up.

Does it still happen? Were you able to fix it without using another camera app?

I find it hard to believe this phone was even QA'd. Such a basic, useful function was broken out of the factory for almost everyone.
Mine works fine - I will admit I didn't try zoom when I first got it, and now I have updated the media xml files with the ones in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2778570
Not sure if that is making it work or not but works perfect for me.
If I get this same issue will just return my phone...this is crazy!
What I forgot to mention is that I have switched to ART. Could this be the cause ? Anyone with ART enabled on their G3 has this problem ?
Just to answer my own question, I switched back to davlik and still have this problem
I'm having the same issue. Mine is an AT&T LG G3 D850 not rooted and using ART. I was thinking about switching back to DAVLIK but seeing as you tried that and it didn't work for you.... I even restated the phone.
Unfortunately the v10e update doesn't fix this problem we're having
Have you reported it to LG yet ?

My G3 international version D855 had this problem ... i applied a hard reset and it works ... now it's fine with zooming while recording
I hope that may help
Its a bug in the LG Camera App. I just tried it on the LG camera app = crash, downloaded Google Camera = No crash on zoom while recording.
Edit: LG D850
Just got my G3 on Verizon about a week ago, same problem. Zooming in camera works fine but not with video. It did a few days ago, just noticed today that it doesn't work.
Edit: Tried the files that nest75068 suggested, didn't work for me and ended up making the Camera app crash even when trying to start a video. Google camera worked initially with video, crashed when I tried to switch to the front camera and now crashes on start. Focal also crashes when starting a video.
I'm having this on my unlocked UK (2GB) D855 variant. I've only noticed crashes while zooming while taking 4K video however.
Yesterday got a phone call from LG support. He said he was second line support, but I had to spend 5 minutes explaining to him what ART and Dalvik are and another 5 minutes trying to convince him that sending the phone to LG won't help. Disappointed, but no different from Samsung or HTC support in that respect.
If you have this problem please report it to LG, maybe if they have few more reports they will pull their finger out of their ass and do something about it.
I've called them and they couldn't help me either. I also asked them about there wireless charging stand that they announced along side the G3 announcement and where I could buy it... the person I talked to didn't know what I was talking about... they didn't even understand what PMA and Qi wireless charging was! I asked if they could connect me to someone who knew about there products and they said I had to call back to talk to someone else.... ?WHAT!?!?
I wasn't even aware you COULD zoom while doing video, but tried this at all resolutions except the slowmo and reproduced the bug.

about community rom beta 1.1
I flashed this rom to my note 2 on boostmobile mms didn't send cause I had to change the mmsurl I think but it's working now out the box the devil kept freezing up my phone so I tried increasing the min cpu to 300 so far no freezing no lag or anything but issue I face at the moment is playing music it skips through out the song but not very often
Edit: devil kernel still freezing up phone for some reason
Running your ROM 1.1 Stockish For a week now, couple problems.
Hey, I can't post in the regular forum because I have only 4 posts.
I am coming from Synergy rom, which I used for 1.5 years. I recently switched because I got the rom itch. Synergy is 4.1.2, I have never had anything beyond that. When I flashed, I followed the instructions very closely.
Your ROM is very nice, thanks for all your hard work, it is much appreciated. Here are some things I have found, I have read the entire main thread two times, and followed your instructions to a tee, no missteps and the flash went fine, seems fully working. My 4g icon was wonky, and I flashed the fix in the thread and it worked. WiFi worked as did SMS, no problems. Here are the rest of what I have found:
1) "Unfortunately, Soundalive has stopped." When I pull up any music players. I press "OK" and 3 minutes later it pops up again. After that, it will never pop up again until my device reboots.
2) Pagebuddy does not work. On 4.1.2 when you plugged in headphones, it would bring up the context homescreen and put a headphone icon in the infobar. On this rom (maybe the changed it after 4.1.2) it just adds the icon in the infobar, but does not pull up the Pagebuddy context homescreens.
3)Cannot change lockscreen wallpaper by long pressing the homescreen and selecting wallpapers. However, it does work by selecting "Menubutton>Lock Screen"
4) Every time I rebooted I got the "Deviltools stopped working" until I finally uninstalled devil tools, I guess thats becuase deviltools is not needed with the stockish kernal.
5) Power-Off Charge bug. I flashed the fix, but device still powers up when I plug in the charger. However, I did flash the 4g icon fix and the Power off zips at the same time, without restarting (rebooting recovery) Philz 6.07.9 in between flashing them. Maybe that is why.
I never lost root during the flash, but I flashed SU2.02 after the ROM flash anyhow. Battery life is amazing, I have not had any force closes.
Thanks for this ROM and all your hard work. I read that there will be another update on this ROM. Cant wait. Hope this info helped you in some way.

1. Sound alive is an issue you can change it in audio settings.
2. The page buddy you are talking about is launcher specific and is not in the s5 launcher.
3. Did not know about that. I usually use gallery for setting wallpaper.
4. Devil tools can not be used with stockish kernel so removal is the correct fix.
5. The power off charge zip is for older versions. You must flash the newest bootloader via odin to fix it.
Hopefully this helps with everything you experienced. Feel free to ask anything you need.

I'm having music playback issues it skips sometimes not sure why it's doing it and I get a data error sometimes but not sure if it's because I'm flashed to boost mobile or not but I already figured out why when I first flashed the rom it would freeze cause I had to flash the stockish kernel for it to work correctly but so far I think that's the only problems I'm having at the moment

Bluetooth connectivity with car
Howdy, y'all!
I just got a new car last night and I'm having issues with connecting it via Bluetooth to my phone. It's properly paired and handles phone calls just fine, but I'm unable to stream audio. The car manufacturer's website confirms that Note II from Verizon and AT&T are compatible phones and are supported as streaming audio devices; my phone is a Sprint Note II, but I cannot think that Sprint's version is much (if any) different in this regard.
So I am wondering if this could potentially be a ROM issue, which is why I'm asking here. I'm using Alpha 3.2+. I use a Motorola Bluetooth headset when I'm running and have no problems with it. So I know that Bluetooth audio does indeed work with this ROM.
Any and all words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. I will be locked in a padded room if I need to listen to FM radio any longer.
Cancel that request. I found the problem.
My last car supported Bluetooth telephony, but not audio. I had to use an audio patch cable from the headphone jack to the aux input of the car's audio system to use my phone as a media player. This caused a problem, I found, because when I'm playing music from my phone in my car (and that's ALWAYS), it superceded the car's Bluetooth capabilities for phone calls. If I received a call, the other party couldn't hear me because the phone was attempting to use a non-existant microphone instead of the car's Bluetooth microphone.
The solution was an application called SoundAbout. It gives you better control of your Android device's routing of audio output and microphone input. Worked perfectly.
What I had forgotten is that when I'm using my Bluetooth headphones when I'm out for a run, I had to shut SoundAbout down. Music would simply play from the phone's speaker instead of routing it via Bluetooth. So that's all I needed to do - shut down SoundAbout, and now my Benz is connecting with my phone without issue.
It would appear that I no longer even need SoundAbout.

I have been pulling my hair out for a fix and I am currently trying a fix a found in my many google searches...
The gist of it is to set the governor to ondemand and that should fix the audio skipping. It has something to do with phone going into deep sleep and the wake lock not functioning properly. I am doing this now and it hasn't skipped for about an hour now...
Could anyone else give this "fix" a whirl?

stuttering music
Great rom overall with very few bugs that I can live with, except for this one. I experience stuttering while playing mp3 using either the music app or play music. The strange thing about this bug is that the stuttering starts once the screen goes off and stops once the screen comes on and it will never stutter as long as the screen stays on. I didn't add any mods or tweaked anything after installing the rom. Is there any fix for this bug? Thanks and great work on the rom.
I just upgraded from Community Alpha 3.2+ to Beta 1.1 with the stock kernel. Everything works perfectly, JL. Your wonderful work and commitment to the GN2 community will be sorely missed.
One very minor issue, though. My Font size (Settings, My Device, Font size) is set to Tiny. Even that's a bit too big for my tastes, but I can live with it. But some applications - most notably, S Planner and the Internet browser - seem to have a mind of their own with regard to font size. The first picture is of the browser. I'd prefer the address text to be smaller, mostly for the reason that I'd be able to see more of it. The second is of S Planner and pretty much speaks for itself. Everything there is too big. The numbers don't even fit into the calendar squares.
I downloaded and installed a build.prop editor and tried bumping the lcd.density down to 240 from its stock setting of 320. Unfortunately, it carried with it the unwanted side-effect of cramming everything to the top of the screen, leaving the bottom 30% or so completely unused.
Any way to modify this?
How to update profile/prl? Thank you!

Screen goes black watching videos.

So, brand new thing I have ran into recently is that no matter what app I use when I turn the phone horizontal the screen goes black and I can't see the video. Any tips to fix this? I am rooted with xposed.
Is there a screen protector or cover possibly causing this issue?
Have you restarted? (Had a similar issue and restart fixed it)
Sincerely,
ASUS_USA
There is at least one other thread about this. Try the search to see if they found a fix. I had something similar, but only with mp4 files, no matter which app I used. Partial or completely black screen, but the sound was fine. It went away for me with the last firmware update.
No case on there for me.
Hi,
I encountered this problem and have a thread on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/video-playback-issue-ze550ml-2-18-40-7-t3139304). Basically, I had to perform a factory reset in order to fix it. Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Hi, did you managed to fix the problem and how if you did?
I have already performed factory reset with the last update 9/7/15 but still have the same problem.
Is it video files or does this also happen with YouTube and other streaming apps?
Just videos, camera videos that I took and others, Youtube works normaly
