My S4 screen stucks after playing a video - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
i have bought few months ago a s4 phone i9515 and manually upgraded it from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1. And after two months i started having a problem.
Whenever i try to watch any video doesnt matter where(for example youtube facebook or any other app) my screen freezes after 20-30sec,but the audio continues. If i leave it after 20-30 seconds my screen continues the video,but doesnt sync the picture and the sound and its kinda impossible to enjoy anything like this. I tried by uninstalling youtube and again installing it and the problem is still there.
i hope someone has a good solution for me.
Sry if this is the wrong place for this thread.
thx in andvance. Cheers

youtube show different things :eek:

Hello guys
Every time I want to watch something in YouTube and we I click on the video that I want it show different one. I do factory reset and still the same
Anyone can help
Thanks
I know this is an old topic, but I recently got a tab and I'm finding the same issue. I've searched this here internet, but I can't find an answer anywhere.
Symptoms:
It doesn't happen on every video - sometimes I can go 5 or 6 vids without a problem.
When it does happen, it's basically like this - I select a video, and Youtube shows me some other video. The most common ones are:
a grainy boxing video
a clip from a Rob Schneider movie
some guy loading a machine gun
a group of women doing aerobics;
Others include
a baby watching TV
2 hot girls dancing
2 hot girls kissing
I can get rid of them by hitting the 'back' arrow and then re-clicking the video I wanted. It works the 2nd time.
Additional info:
There's no repeatable pattern. I can select the same video on different occasions - sometimes the problem happens and sometimes it doesn't.
Just in the last couple of weeks, I was seeing the same with the Youtube app on my android phone (a flashed Captivate). I uninstalled Youtube (which didn't remove it completely - just reverted to an earlier version) and the problem disappeared.
As there's no option to uninstall Youtube on the tab, I tried flashing a ROM to see if that would help (Starburst). It didn't make any difference - I'm still getting the problem.
It only happens within the Youtube app. If I watch a Youtube video via the browser, the problem doesn't happen.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks everyone

[Q] Instagram Video Crashes

Hi,
I currently have Liquidsmooth http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039995&highlight=liquidsmooth ROM flashed on my Galaxy S3.
Instagram Video app always seems to crash and restart my phone every time I try to exit out of the video recording mode. Another problem with it is that when I film record and stop and record again, the image distorts and the colours become inverted.
Another problem arises in Snapchat app where it simply restarts my phone, if I try and go back to record a video.
Have you looked around for users with similar problems?
I got the same problem. Note1

[Q] Sony Xperia P problem while watching videos in landscape mode..

Hello guys.
So I got my Xperia P around 3 months ago and I didn't have any problems until today.
Long story short the picture is all messed up in full screen landscape mode.
So I wanted to watch a video and as soon as the video started playing I realised that something was wrong.
Here's the deal, when I open any kind of video (even on youtube) my screen starts going all crazy and you can't see anything, but if you go into the settings the screen becomes clear for a second. Watching videos in a small window on youtube is possible , but full screen landscape mode , not a chance, I don't get it, why is this happening? It looks like it's zoomed in like 500% , the sound is all fine but the picture is just broken. If I try to play a game like GTA SA it works all fine so the screen isn't broken or anything , it's just that you can't watch videos , and that's kind of stupid.
Did you have a problem like this or do you know what might be the reason this problem appeared?
I tried clearing the memory in the apps , but nothing seems to be helping , so I'm asking you guys do you know how to fix this? I'm running the 4.1.2 JB official update.
Thanks
Do a factory reset!
I think it's the only way to resolve your problem

Youtube app no video

Hey. I have a sony xperia z4 tablet. For a while ago i rooted it and installed a rom after a while i found out that they didn't work properly. I then installed the official 6.0 marsmellow. At the time i got that i had a problem that sometimes after watching some vidoes it would say there was a problem playing this video or something like that, i tryed clearing the data and all that stuff but it didn't work. For every time i got that error i had to restart the tablet and then i could watch some more videos. After i installed 6.0 i think there has been 2 updates. After theese the error have changed in wierd ways after the last 7.0 nugat i can hear the sound but no video is showing
On the first vesion 6.0 i think the screen froze after a few seconds of watching but the audio kept playing.
On the second 6.2 i think not sure the error can't play this video try again later.
7.0 nugat there is no video just sound.
The quickfix for all of theese seem to be restart the device but i think its weird and i dont wanna keep doing this.

The only way to fix this problem is to use custom rom. I face this problem since lollipup, and havent found a solution. On custom roms no problem at all.

Thank u for quick reply. Do you know about any stable good costum roms? What r u using?

Question Videos stops playing in apps

I have been experiencing this weird bug where after a day or two, videos inside apps like prime video, youtube, vanced stop working (tested only these). The video works fine when I open youtube in browser but these app seem like stuck in a loading state. Even funnier thing is that I couldn't record my screen when this happens. The screen recording floating window hangs as well. The only thing that I know fixes this is a restart.
Please help me out guys. If you want then I can record the screen using another device.
Haven't faced anything like this on my nord 2. I advice you to do a factory reset and do check whether you are in the latest build or not.
I am facing similar issue please someone help
