[Q] Video playback issue on ZE550ML 2.18.40.7 - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Does anyone have any issues with hardware accelerated playback of videos (360p and above) on the ZE550ML firmware version 2.18.40.7 (WW)? The video will be garbled or sometimes just blank but audio will play fine. When I switch to software decoding (e..g in MX player), it will work fine. I had to downgrade back to 2.17.40.6 in order to resolve the issue. I tried with stock & rooted 2.18.40.7 but still faced the same issue. Anyone else facing this issue and have a fix/workaround?
Thanks.

Yeah, I got exactly the same on the 2.18 firmware on the ZE551ML. The same mp4s that worked on 2.17, would get partial/full black screen (audio always worked). Since the 2.19 update they work again.

Good to know the new firmware fixed this. I'll have to wait till its available for the ZE550ML.
Thanks.

I'm on the 2.19 firmware and I still have issues with a black screen... any fixes?

Hey,
I have same problem, but i was rooted, when i upgraded to 2.19 i have a lot of problems, so i stay without root now and problem was solved even in 2.18 without root. I installed xpsed freeeze some aps etc. so i guess it's xposed/root problem.

I am rooted and using Xposed and the mp4s that were broken before are all working fine now. I did a factory reset before upgrading to 2.19 though so whatever was causing the issue obviously got wiped along the way. Try booting into safe mode to see if the issue persists.

Hi all,
I've taken the advice of some here & did a factory reset. Video playback is now working even when I upgraded to 2.18.40.7. Thanks to all for sharing.
Cheers.

Microphone doesn't work

Hello! I have very annoying problem with my Desire - microphone doesn't work. Voice Recorder records just white noise and other people can't hear me.
Phone was rooted more than a month ago. Since then, I was satisfied user of RCMixHD. The last changes I've done (on Sunday) were: update system to v0.12 and radio to 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27. I don't call very often, so I noticed the problem yesterday.
I've started solving problem by restoring backup - it hasn't helped. Next I have wiped data, reverted to standard ROM, reset factory data etc. and it also hasn't helped. Next step was downgrading radio to recommended 32.48.00.32u_5.10.05.30 and other older versions. This hasn't helped too. I have tried many times (between the changes) recording voice - sometimes I could hear the recording (with white noise of course) but very quietly.
Today I have unrooted the phone using RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.exe. Microphone still doesn't work.
Maybe, someone more experienced than me can help? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
PS Phone isn't branded. I've got it since June.
The same here
I have unbranded Desire and facing the same problems and no solution found yet. I contacted HTC and they said that since I used unofficial ROM the waranty is voided and I should pay to get it fixed.
Did you find any solution? Thanks!

Yes run a RUU and don't tell HTC that you rooted your devices.
Thanks TheGhost1233 for the tip!
but I am still would like to find a software solution. I am not sure if its hw problem.
If you revert to stock and the problem is still there it's a hardware problem.
Thanks alot man, I am now reverting to UUR. If the problem persists I will send it to service and tell them that I used a modified ROM if they ask me because in this case I am to be blamed :-(

[Q] 4.3 OTA update from rooted 4.2.2. Lost in call sound

Hey everyone,
after trying to keep my root from the OTA I caused some problems and fubar'd my phone. so I did a full restore because i didn't even have a phone app anymore.
I re-installed all my apps and even got Nova Launcher back without root. but now whenever I make or recieve a call. I can't hear anything and the other person cannot hear me. (i found a similar issue on youtube with a Nexus 4 and he updated the baseband)
I think it may be a baseband issue like in that video above, BUT, I do not know what baseband I should have on my Gnex.
Any help?
thank you!
-EDIT- Booting into recovery and whiping Dalvik seems to have fixed the issue. I also let the phone flash the stock recovery (if that matters) but I don't think that has anything to do with my baseband -/EDIT-
still FUBAR

well, no I have sound when using speaker phone, BUT no sound in normal headset operation. HELP!!

Music playing, but no sound

Hey guys, me agian...Need some help
I recently flashed the ARHD ROM on my International version M8, everything works splendidly but, I discovered that when I try to play Mp3s (through the speaker) the mp3 plays but, there is no audio and same happens when using headphones.
I tried searching the forum and came across someone who experienced the same problem, however, their device was Verizon branded and so the solution applied to that specific branded device.
weird though, sometimes i will get audio but if i close the app (I've tried many 3rd party apps, same issue) and try to play again it won't. I checked all my settings all all seems to be in tact.
I am s-off, bootloader unlocked, rooted and superCID with latest 2.2XXX firmware.
Can anyone shed some light on this issue plz?
many thanks in advance
Hi I had this same problem while I was out camping. Luckily had a downloaded Harman Larson adsp zip. Flashed it, wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted...has been working fine ever since

Not sure of there's an option to install harmon kardon audio in AHRD but if u accidentally clicked it, it will kill your sound without updating the ASDP firmware.
See here and flash you should have it working now V4 with ASDP update
thx, i did some research and thats exactly what i had to do...update the h/k.zip

Music Stops with Screen Off (F460K)

Hey guys I've had this issue where regardless of what music app I use, a few seconds after I turn my screen off (i.e. lock the device) the music will stop playing until I turn it back on.
Anyone have any idea why? I'm on version 10e (latest according to PC Suite and OTA Checker), and I'm stock unrooted.
Other than that the phone's been amazing and blazing fast, even outspeeding my M8 GPE sometimes

Also, when charging, this problem doesn't occur. This further adds to the mystery...
Also, it happens if I have music local or streaming, so that rules out network issues.

UPDATE: OK so after messing with about every single setting on the phone, I tried switching it back to Dalvik. Fixed everything 100%. Whole phone is faster, from opening apps to web pages.
Very strange... Not sure why there would be so much ART incompatibility, but I guess it's 4.4.2 and not .3 or .4. If anyone else has has this problem (including an inability to wake the phone up without a few tries), check your RunTime. I'm hoping it'll be better next update, but for now this'll have to do.

Hi there!
I have exactly the same problem since I updated the phone to Lollipop (D85520A) but before that I didn't have that problem. Firstly I found this when I updated to D85519H and then I performed another update to the current version (D85520A) and it didn't help. The smartphone is way better, but this problem is really ennoying me.
ART is not available on Lollipop and my phone went only for one day to ART mode and it was a pain in the ass (when I still had 4.4.2) and then I switched back to normal.
I am thinking about to a factory reset and reinstall Android 5.0 on CSE mode AGAIN and see what happens, but I think it won't help at all.
Do you have any idea of what could I do in order to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Fixed
Hi there!
Just a short update.
Like I mentioned before, I got this problem when I updated my phone with the new Lollipop FW (D85519H) and then I tried to perform another update using the D85520A but the problem was still there. So I believe that the update didn't fix the issue from the previous update so I performed another clean update using the same last one and the problem disappeared.
Thank you anyway.

Oneplus 5t Phone App Crashes if I make a Call or get one !

Hi,
Since I got the latest Oxygen OS update (I'm on Oxygen OS 9.0.4) . My Phone App has started crashing if I make a outgoing call or get one. First the Phone App crashes and then the system UI Crashes. The Phone was working fine till this update.
Thinking this is an issue with the Oneplus Oxygen OS update, i tried to move to Pixel Experience OS. The version I installed worked well but again when i did a OTA upgrade the same issues started recurring. There I also faced crashes if I used the camera app.
Frustrated I moved back to the Stock Rom.. But the Problem of the Calling app still exists. I"ve tried installing alternate diallers but its the same effect. I'm attaching my log file here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nLldKekVd_ZLWRghbPeJP94cdimQpsf6/view?usp=sharing
Can you guys help figure out whats happening ?

try clean flash any beta version of oos , or use unbrick tool to restore all firmware to factory setting.
Hi
Would this be the unbrick tool ? https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012/amp/
Seems like a very old version ?
Hello
I tried doing the clean flash to the latest Beta.. But still getting the crashes. Will try un bricking now.. However is there a chance its related to the hardware ?

no, perhaps its related to software. are u using any mod or theming?
Hi,
Currently none. The phone was on Stock Oxygen till 3 odd months ago and was working fine. After one of the OTA Updates, this problem started happening. Since I could not find any consistent users reporting the same issue on Oxygen, I decided at that point to try using a different ROM and switched to Pixel experience. The phone worked ok for 2 weeks or so post that. Again after a new OTA came and I upgraded it started crashing again.
In the team time i saw another update to Oxygen had come so it thought i'd try going back to stock.. But not avail. Its still crashing.. Its only the Phone App that acts up. Everything else works fine. However the first time this issue came video playback was also freezing.
The logs that i have posted show these crashes but I dont have enough knowledge as yet to understand the reason.
After the above response to try clean flashing the latest Beta. But the issue persists..
Try see if the phone app is set as standard app for handling phone calls.
Hi
Tried that ..it is set as default.. The latest trial I did is cleanflashed an older version official ROM v5x of Oxygen OS... Problem is still the same..
Infact worse.. now I've got the settings app crashing and random reboots in addition to the phone app crashing !
I'd thought if this issue is due to post 9.02 upgrades this would solve it . But it's made it worse..
