[Q] No Video app icon?? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, just got my G4 (international version) today. I had one question - there is no "Video" app in the app drawer. Looks like I can only get to it via QSlide; I did a factory reset and it's still not showing up in the App drawer. Is this normal ?? Or is something up with my phone?
Thanks,
Praz

Seems to be normal mine is the same way

Yeah it appears you're right. I used LG bridge to do a full recovery and bone stock it's like that then. Not a big deal, though a little weird.
Thanks!

Unless you want to install a separate standalone video player, the way to access videos on the G4 is by locating them in your file manager. The video player will launch videos automatically when opening them in other apps. There's just no regular, logical way of opening videos within the app itself.

Leaked next version android music app

I'm sure most of us here have heard of this leaked app that is supposedly an early music app for Honeycomb. Just thought i'd share a link to a site to download it.
Link to download site: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/27/download-honeycomb-music-player-from-google-io/
Youtube video showcasing this early dev build: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZGw8TxCtNg&feature=related
** This is assumed to be a leaked early developer version! I had no hand in developing this! I'm not responsible for any damage that installing this app may cause, just delivering the message!
Enjoy!
Looks pretty sweet, a lot better than the current music app. Thanks for this.
Been running the app for 2 days... no fc's or problems at all... its about time they cleaned up the crappy stock music player.
Teleported with mind bullets via XDA App.
Yeah, i'm diggin the color fade between screens.
Whouda thought Android would have a bit of gangster in it? lol
Would love to have an eq though, unless i'm missing it.
woot thanks for sharing. just installed it.
Just installed, now time to remove the default app, thought this was going to replace it but didnt lol
It replaced my stock music app. But my question is, what is that jumper test for?

How do I uninstall the default player. I have the gold symbol and the original blue. I like the new touches. Especially how it displays the album art. That's neat lol

You won't be able to remove the stock music app without root. You need write access to /system/app to modify the contents.
Whats the additional jumper app for?

I miss this too Was great when I could do it in my SGS1. Load a youtube vid and hit the power button to lock the screen so its off OR even start my browser and surf while playing youtube music Pretty bad decision for Google/Samsung to break this in ICS.

I dont think its an app thing. I believe ICS is codded for it. Kinda like how when you are listening to music and take pictures the music pauses for a moment to execute the shutter sound even if you have disabled it

Does anyone know if theres a way to make youtube rotate to landscape even with screen rotation off ? I remember this used to happen on my SGS

Site Admin, please read: Landing page "Root" video.

So the video on http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1891#root plays automatically in the background whenever you get to the Samsung Galaxy Note II landing page. Is it possible to stop this from loading until I press play? Or I figured it was code on the page telling it to load that video and play automatically.
Seeing as how alot of us are using tethering already anyway on our phones, it takes up quite a bit of bandwidth that we ALL KNOW Sprint doesn't have to spare.
I have adblock already.

I am not experiencing what the OP is describing. The video does not auto play for me.
Go into your phone's browser settings, find Plugins and set them to Click to Play or Disabled etc.

This is on a full desktop browser guys. Not mobile.
I've never had this happen, not on any of the four separate computers I use (at a minimum) every day.

Chrome, almost exclusively, FF on a random occasion. Two of the computers have Chrome (and all ad-on/settings/b-marks) synced. The other, shared workstation...
Try Chrome in incognito mode, make sure it's not a sh1tty extention.

I have this happen all the time. I use Chrome. I haven't figured out how to stop it, but I know it's Youtube video, and somewhere in my settings, Chrome automatically starts any Youtube video. I noticed the YouTube thing on other sites. I just haven't been able to find the Youtube video on the landing page, but I do know the video playing is from YouTube because I have watched it on YouTube.
So it's A Chrome thing then... Simple enough.

Poor Youtube video quality?

Hello, I have a note 2 n7100. I used to have 4.1.2. Flashed 4.3. Everything went well. One thing that's bothering me is the youtube app video quality is low even when I choose HQ. It gets better but it's pixilated. On 4.1.2 it was basically hd. Has anyone else experience the same problem? I can't figure out what it is. The rom?. Or a setting somewhere? Could a custom kernel effect it somehow? Any tips or advice appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Are you on 3G? Because usually the app switches to HQ rather than HD only on 3G.
Also there is an app called Viral .. It let's you choose whatever quality you want, its kinda good, you may want to try it
Thanks, i guess i had a modded youtube app before where it would automatically play hd in 3g. Noe it only has hd option on wifi only. The only solution i foind is the OG youtube downloader. Where you can choose what quality you want when on 3g. But it doesnt have an auto option to go to highest quality when on 3g. Ill check out that viral app. Thanks.

Actually most of the roms have youtube apk as system app and those apks are a little modified for better performance!
If u have system youtube apk then you can remove it by using root uninstaller from play store(needs root).
And reinstall youtube from play store!

Gapless Playback doesn't work on any app?
