I have a Galaxy note II that is rooted and is currently using v5.5.9. I have this problem that is really bothering me... It involves the screen, every time I enter any app or video (any video that is either offline or on chrome, browser, opera, firefox) the screen goes black but the app still works (QR code reader screen goes black but still reads the QR code) OR the video has audio but screen is blank. I can't even watch videos that I have recorded myself! I discovered however that if I change the orientation (portrait to landscape) of the video it gives me a small snap shot before going blank again. How do i fix this and if it is impossible should I go back to the original samsung ROM or a previous ROM?

I have tried everything, it just stays blank and yes I did a full wipe and installed the ROM. I use the GAPPS that they provided... see it was fine at the start but then it just started to stuff up.

I'm not sure if its just my device it was working before, but everytime I video record something and playit back it looks weird. Is thhere anyway I could fix it?

I've noticed the same on CM7: after I record something with the camcorder, sometimes (not all the time) the picture is garbled so that 99% of the picture is white/black/blue lines on the stock player. It only does it when the screen is in portrait. If I turn the phone to landscape, the video plays fine.
Also, playing the videos play correctly on RockPlayer. RockPlayer forces to landscape for playback, so that might have something to do with it. Also, if I try to view the video on my desktop PC, it plays fine. Seems like more an issue with the player playing those particular videos in portrait.
This is how it plays with all videos in portrait mode, but seems to be just fine if you view them in landscape mode. The majority of my screen would be blue with the super-thin white/black lines, but against it's primarily all blue in color. I don't think there's any way to fix it, to my knowledge any way.
Same deal here. I am on CM7 RC2 with 2.6.32.32 kernel. If I shoot a video in landscape I can only playback the video holding my device in landscape. And vice versa for portrait. Half of the video is blocked by a blue screen. Does this sound familiar to anyone.

Yes it does!

This still seems to be broken in the latest CM nightlies. Wonder why it's not working. It's also happening in CM7-based ROMs (i.e. GingerVillain 1.5).
Hey everyone
Has anyone noticed or is it just me, the camera app looks perfect on the screen when its on picture.
If I slide it to video it becomes grainy with a lot of noise.
Its a huge difference between the quality of the two.
The noise is visable in the playback of the video.
I was trying to convert my iphone brother to android and he laughed at how much better his video was.
Any ideas or anyone experianced the same?
anyone or is it just me
I've been having a similar issue with my T-Mobile Note II! For some reason while the camera is running, a photo is displayed, or a video is playing, the screen renders everything kinda grainy. I thought it was my imagination, but when I open up a menu, all the icons and options look different too, they don't look smooth anymore, and the color is off. Kind of like a bad jpeg. It's even more noticeable when I use the pop up player, it effects everything I'm doing on the screen until I close the video.
This only happens while content is being displayed, though. When browsing the gallery or scrolling through my video list everything looks fine, until I open something. What's even weirder is this only happens in Samsung's camera, gallery, and video apps. Using any different media app to display content (I tested Camera Zoom FX, MX Player, File Expert, ect.) doesn't cause this at all. It sounds very software specific. I'm not sure if you've tried using a different video player besides the stock app, but try it and see if it looks the same.
I went to T-Mobile and replaced my phone yesterday, thinking it was just me, but the new one is doing it too -_-. You're the first person on any of the forums who seems to have noticed the same thing, lol. I was beginning to think I was going crazy

Lol ill try some other apps to see if it is software related..

My Acro S is running Beanstalk 4.4.278. Great rom so far but 1080p playback (specifically on MX Player) does not work. Freezes and reboots my phone when I try. 1080p recording with latest Google Camera works like a charm but its frustrating I can't view any of them. I haven't tried playback on any other video players though. I removed the video player that came with KitKat or the rom btw so I can't try that too.
Any help or advice?

Just tried it (since I had never tried it before you mentioned it) and it works fine. The video is a little juttery, but I can live with that.
Running BeanStalk v4.4.285, on the same phone.. Kernel is 3.4.0-Evovle-v1.11+ [email protected]
I think you might want to upgrade to the latest version - that might fix it.

Thanks for answering
Any notable bugs on 4.4.285? I might upgrade if that will fix the playback problem and if there aren't any annoying bugs..

There are two that are a bit annoying (again, not everyone has these though, so you might get lucky).
1. Sometimes when a call comes in, the screen will either stay blank and take a while to light up (by which time the caller has hang up)
2. Sometimes streaming a video online (with any player, not just MX) will crash and force the device to reboot when you try to exit watching the video.
These are the two major issues that I find on my phone. Never the less, I still prefer this version to stock, so I have been using it for more than a month now and I am very happy.
Well, I have read stuff about the Nexus 5x saving upside down images/vids with 3rd party apps that didn't use API correctly, but today I saved a video, which looks OK on the device, but when I send it to the PC.. it is upside down.
Is this common? it has any fix? can I fix the vid somehow?
If this happens to the stock camera... what the **** Google..
I've read somewhere that it's normal, the sensor it's upside-down so it puts a flags for apps to turn it around.. the problem is that I tested any program on Windows (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC, WMP, etc..) and ALL of them show the video upside-down...

Hmm, I downloaded the last version from hpc hc yesterday and it was still upside down. What is that madvr render stuff? Some sort of plugin? This is interesting because if this works im keeping the n5x, if not im returning it (because I want the video reproduced well on pc)
Thanks!
No special settings. Just set madVR as default renderer and launch video by double-click. At least it working in my rig with external GPU. Here is also the feature request in mpc hc trac: https://trac.mpc-hc.org/ticket/2202.
How has google/LG not come up with a better fix for this? Two of my apps that use the camera (Stampt and Chase Mobile Banking) show the video upside down. It is extremely annoying. I realize that the app *should* be updated to the latest API, but if you make upside down hardware YOU should be the one to fix it, not force everyone else to conform.

Works! Thanks a lot!!!! Too bad madVR lags some the video reproduction (specially when returning from full screen) , I don't know why I have to move to such thing just for this device. I hope MPC-HC adopts it soon!!

Google. They didn't even use the API how they say on most of their apps. Google is the enemy of nexus lately.
Another option in MPC (Media Player Classic - Home Cinema) besides MadVR is to rotate the video while playing. Use the following the shortcuts (alt + numpad 3) twice to rotate to 180 degrees as shown in my attached image.
I know it's a pain but this is a workaround for now at least. Along with MadVR.
Guys im the only one who stuck with 720p videos in YouTube app?
Can't change to higher resolution no matter what kind of video
Solution: force close app.
Open app in unfolded screen. Choose high resolution. Fold it back to small screen Now u can set any resolution u want on small screen
I guess its a glitch.
yes so sometimes it detects only small screen and defaults to 720p. Force close the app and then open youtube on big screen it will show full res options again.
I tried the hard reset and it fixed it for some videos. I could get 1440p for some videos.
However, I went onto a different video without exiting youtube and again it's showing only 720p when my note 9 gives me 1080p for that particular video.
I have a huawei tablet and for that I installed a sideloaded youtube that forces all resolutions, but I don't really want to do that if I dont have to for the fold.
I used youtube vinced and fixed this problem
