cant play videos in stock players

When selected it only darkens the screen...but nothing
Plays fine on mobo player.
Tried recording and playing, but get the same issue. I can open and play it on the movie editor app..
So much for being anxious about the damn update

Are you updated to 3.2 ? Sounds like some people had problems with the 3.2...

Nego_0, it works UNTIL you restart your TF. Once you restart, it is back to needing to apply your fix again. Again, it is fine until you restart. Try it.
The problem seems to be when it needs to load the "complete action using" screen for the user to choose the program, the screen does not show up. If you apply the fix Nego_0 is suggesting it will work. The you can choose the default player such as Moboplayer and then it will always load through Moboplayer as you select your file even after restarting. This bug is reported and members are actively looking for a solution. For now the work around seems to be choose a default player.

I was reading a lot of TF users about this bug after the 3.2 update, I have a WW version and just updated to 3.2 a few hours ago, hoping my TF will not show this kind of bug, BUT to my dismay I am now one of those experiencing videos not playing in the gallery, I just have to dismount from the dock and rotate my TF everytime I boot up from now on or have to choose another player as a default to by-pass this issue. But I was wondering why others did not experience this bug. I updated mine attached to the dock. I am just wondering those who did not experience this video bug maybe they updated to 3.2 without the dock. If anyone who doesnt have this video bug can please confirm if you updated to 3.2 attached to the dock or not. Thanks.

This is not a TF specific bug. The issue also occurs in the XOOM version of 3.2.
If you select a default video, image, browser, etc app you will not experience this bug since there is no need to ask you which application to use to complete the task. This is why some people see the bug and some people do not, and why it seems to only happen with certain types of files.

still no love here. I just upgraded to 3.2, and got the latest skype; there's no video option in settings. Boooo.

true! skype video calling works for me too.

it works! the quality is not as good as on my laptop... but it works.
just the "enable video" option can be enabled only when there is no active conversation.

Sweet, been waiting for this since I got the tab. Damn annoying the way it used to restart in the background all the time. Says it has been fixed, I hope so.

Woohoo, works. Excellent.

The video calling works for me now, but the only issue im having is that i cant control the volume of which the voice from the other person is played. Even if i plug in my headphones i still cant contol the volume. iIs anyone else having this issue?

mine isnt working...is it because i use custom 3.2 rom?

works on HoneyVillain 1.2 and Taboonay 2.1 - confirmed.

Skype isnt working? or volume control isnt?

Im seeing an issue where whenever I send a message, I get the notification "Skype has signed in" which causes video chatting to not work, as its constantly signing in and out...
wifi signal strength was good at the time
currently using HoneyVillain 1.2 with Thor's 3.5 kernel

How do I make video call? I enabled video call under the Skype setting. but don't know how.
Thanks!

Can anyone confirm weather they can adjust the volume or not?

-Mic volume has always been an issue, i've nevet been able to adjust it. Not sure if there is a fix available.
-As for video, check the thread of the rom you are on. If it's the same as mine (rooted 3.2 something...) There is a fix in the second post. The problem was with the certs in the rom. Flash the fix, and video will work.
-Disabling status notifications fixed the sigm-in bug for me.
Hope this helps

Could you point at the post with the fix ?
Sorry...found that myself - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18017326&postcount=143

I tried flashing that fix, and the ZIP wouldn't work in CWM. I have a video option in Skype, but when I start a video call, the video flashes for 2 seconds and then reverts to a voice-only call.
Is it solely because I'm on a custom ROM?

I'm aware of the age of the thread - however, I am still having an issue with Skype video, so...

Wow - this is super frustrating! I've tried new and old versions of Skype with my A501, and I can not get video to work.
Can anyone confirm they've been able to get video chat to work on their A501 (notice the 1)...?

[Q] Vegacomb dim when more browsers or video players installed

Hi guys,
I have a problem running Vegacomb 3.2 Build 9n Update3. When I have multiple video players installed, when I press on a video (either in gallery or OI file explorer), I do not get list of installed apps to choose from, but the screen is just dimmed (until I press back). Same when I installed Dolphin browser and clicked on link. With one browser/video player this doesn't happen. I was looking if there can be something cleared (like defaults) but couldnt find anything.
Thanks

Try to rotate the tablet to a vertical position, the menu with your options will show up.
This is a known bug...

Changes in Update 3.2

Hey guys,
So I recieved the new 3.2 update today on my US Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and there's a few changes that I have already noticed:
1. Samsumg removed the bouncy effect (similar to the one the was in Apple devices) that was in the browser, settings menu, Android Market, and anything that scrolled and has replaced the effect with the normal Android effect of a blue highlight that gets bigger as you try to scroll more at the end of the page (Possibly has to do with Samsung vs. Apple court case?)
2. Now when you're watching a video on youtbe and using full screen the bottom bar is fully gone and there isn't that random line that was there before !
3. The menu button looks a bit different in the Android Market and Youtube app, almost bolded or popped out (no new Android market btw. It's the same old one so we still don't have access to the music store from the Android Market).
4. Now when you click on a contact icon, when the list of all possible things of contacting them (Google Voice, Google Maps for directions, Gmail, Twitter, etc) shows up entirely and you don't have to scroll left and right).
5. QuickOffice HD seems to have been updated (but not to the newest 5.0 version that is on the Android Market). The icon has also changed and now it says "Pro" and "HD" on it (which is what the Android Market version icon is like)
6. Browser seems a bit faster but I'm not sure about that. And the tablet in general feels overall faster.
Anything else that you guys have noticed? (Besides the button that changes app screen sizes that normally comes with 3.2)

Aboutebug settings changes now seems to stick.

all share is available.

Web browser seems alot snappier. App drawer and pages scroll smoother aswell.

Good morning all!
I'm glad that you got the update on your Tabs. Can I ask you what the better if I fill up its batteries and then update it, or if I plug it in and until filling up I'm updating? Did you notice any problems while updating? Is this update deleted anything from your device? Or everything stayed the same?

There's a little icon next to the clock to turn an app into full screen

This update was for the WIFI version only right?

Allshare is present now

does the screen shout button function can be changed? , like in galaxy tab 7.7 its function can be changed and also the mini apps can be edited or even removed in the 7.7 ?

how is there no updated market YET??

The browser definitely is faster.

Has anyone had issues with home screen auto rotate lag? I updated to 3.2 and it now takes 2 - 3 seconds to rotate. With 3.1 it was almost instantaneous. I also tried the widespread fix by long pressing the home screen and choosing a section other than add widget with no results. This is very frustrating.

Yes, it is especially noticeable when you turn your tab 180 degrees in one motion. ( top becomes bottom)

OK, so I decided to change my wallpaper from a static image to a live wallpaper and the rotation improved immensely. That is so counter-intuitive, but see if you can re-create it.

The Market update comes with Android 3.2.1.

I just noticed that Swipe is present after 3.2 update. Was it present before 3.2?

Yes. It was present in the Touchwiz 3.1 update

Dice player compatibility, anyone? 3.2 wifi user reported diceplayer broke in this ver. I'm on 3.2 3g and it fixed video playback with diceplayer. I was having issues with 3.1 previously.

Id like to add.
Previously on 3.1, 180 degrees rotate will make a 90 + 90 rotation
With 3.2,it fades out and inverts the screen, and fades back in.
Hope this information is useful.

Agreed with all of the above.
However, I get a lot of gapps Force Closes. Can anyone suggest anything besides a full wipe?

[Q] latest youtube update issue

After getting the latest youtube update i noticed that there is an image in the middle of my screen. (I think its the screen mirroring image) and it will not go away and is annoying when watching videos
is there a way to get rid of it without having to uninstall the updates?

I think this might be the issue as well, I'm running the latest YouTube app and my screen mirroring icon is the proper location. Is there something preventing you from reinstalling the app? or perhaps clearing the it's cache and seeing if that fixes it.

I'm having this problem too.
It only occurs when using bluetooth speaker or headphones.
The icon is at the correct location when not using bluetooth though.
Any help?
