I have a particular video I recorded in HD that when played in the correct orientation (vertical) it won't play. If I attempt to hold the phone vertically and play the video it will play the first couple seconds then say "sorry, this video cannot be played". I noticed that if I hold the phone horizontally (but half the screen turns blue because of the glitch in CM7) for a couple of seconds right when the video starts, then turn it vertical, I can continue watching the video fine all the way through. Just as long as I don't start the video holding the phone vertically.. and reasons as to why this is? I made sure it wasn't the file itself so I watched it on my desktop and it worked just fine.

It's a nightly bug, will probably get fixed within a few days at most.

I was at the beach with the dog the other day and found a defect with the video camera feature. It is obscure but...
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the stock video camera.
Record some video.
Stop recording video.
Use power button to turn off the screen. (I did this at the beach to conserve power.)
Close the phone.
Open the phone to expose the keyboard. (I often do this as it saves me a step compared to clicking power and then swiping unlock.)
Record another video.
Expected Result:
Camera would record video.
Actual Result:
Video application becomes unresponsive. Force close about 10 seconds later.

LOL that is a pretty well formated bug
Test software for a living? For what it is worth I can repro this. Nice find.
I think you should hit the back button after you are doing recording the first video so that your phone isn't idling/standingby with the video recorder/camera on.
exit out of camera mode when you arent recording then close your phone.
I cannot reproduce this with my G2.
neither can i. i tried over n over, it records fine.

Hmm, I reproduced it before and after the latest update. An office mate here reproduced it too.
I can't get this to happen on my Desire Z, if that helps
Not sure if the camera apps are the same (I imagine the DZ uses an HTC app not the stock one). Also I turned mine off after the live view started up again, not during the moment where you can view/delete/share the recorded video.
Hi,
I have a problem with my X5 when it plays youtube videos (in HD or not)-I have not used it to watch other videos or movies-.When I rotate its screen horizontally, half the screen becomes white or green with some red lines and the other half plays the video normally.
I have installed the latest Flash player. Is this a hardware or software problem? Is it serious? I have DOA so I can send it back and get a new one.
What should I do?
I have taken a picture of my problem however I cannot post the link here because of the xda policy
me too. found that if you don't rotate the screen until the video starts playing its fine.
Never had this problem. What ROM are you running?
In the Build Number the last digits are B135SP02. So I guess am using B135.Am I right?
Yes right. I'm using 133 and have no problems.
Mine also has this problem on several rom versions (B135, B158, B160), with or without overclock.
I am using x5. Could there be any problem with the hardware?

I first noticed this after I had a very hot lamp too close to my phone while it was in a tripod and recording myself for an Indiegogo campaign video. The video sceen was highly distrorted and before that it was scrolling. Like what you see in older TV shows or movies when they record a computer screen or tv moniter. The screen will scroll up or down.
I was recording mself with my Surface RT tablet on in the background and the screen starting scrolling before becoming distrorted. (NOT the Surface RT screen as viewed on my camera like the example of recording TV moniters or computer screens. The Surface RT screen looked normal through my phone's screen and in the final video.) There is no distorting or problems with the videos or photos I took during the crazy screen or after. So I assume the camera hardware itself is ok. And at that time my phone was VERY hot.
Today I was recording myself agian on the tripod without the hot lamp. It was in the tripod for only 2 minutes when the screen started to scroll up again. This time it wasn't hot at all.
If I exit the camera app and re-enter it is fine. So far this happened only twice and only in the camera app regardless if it is in the video or photo mode.
Did I damage the phone or is this a known problem? Any ways to fix this?
Have you tried any other camera app from market?

No, but I will now. Also, it just did it a third time now. but I was holding the camera vertially and it went sideways this time. Also funny thing is my Google Play freezes 50% of the time when I click on an app to view it before I download it.

I had this problem when I flashed a kernel that was JSS for a ROM built on JWR firmware. Have you flashed any kernels? If so double check with your ROM provider about what base was it built on, JSS or JWR. Then double check with the kernel and flash the appropriate one. If you haven't flashed a kernel then i have no idea what is wrong. You may want to reflash the ROM assuming that you are using a custom ROM.

Stock voice recorder stops recording when the screen goes off. I used to let it record bird sound for up to20mins now I don't even get 2mins record time. I tried all day. Lots of great bird sounds I could've had. I notice it usually stops when the screen goes off. Sometimes it exits the file and goes back to the record screen.
edit: I think i fixed the problem I had a live wallpaper for the lock and home screens. I don't know if it was the wallpaper on the lock screen or home screen or both that was the problem. Anyone else have issues with live wallpapers? I never used them till now.

I have noticed an issue with the new 2019 Fire HD 10 tablet when using the Youtube app. While watching a video the screen randomly goes black like the screen timed out but the sound continues. Also if you use the power button to lock the screen while watching a Youtube video, the screen turns off but the sound continues. I've tried this on two different 2019 HD 10 tablets with the same result. My old Fire HD 8 2017 does not show this issue. Has anyone else noticed this issue or have a solution?
I've already contacted support about the issue with no fix. This is actually the reason I've tested it with a second device.
The screen timeout is set for 2 minutes but it randomly turns off in 2 minutes or longer, or sometimes doesn't turn off and works normally. It seems like most of the time it doesn't recognize a video is playing at some point and turns the screen off while leaving the video playing and you hear the sound.

That causing an issues from OMX codec or screen timeout. Can you enable stay awake in developer options and connect charger to work.

I'm sure I could turn screen timeout off in order to force the screen to stay on but that's not a fix. I would be more likely to damage the screen by forgetting to manually turn it off at times. Also, that wouldn't fix the issue with when I want to lock the screen using the power button and the video continues to play.

Yes it seems to not have the issue. I did have to turn background play off to avoid the power button lock, continued play. It's strange because that could be the issue with the original Youtube app but it shouldn't have background play since its not a premium account. Nor do I see an option to turn background play off in the original app if it was on, only the Pip on/off option.
The other issue is getting the Youtube Vance to show in my kids Freetime profile. I havent found a simple way besides a folder app which shows all apps.
