Here are some issues I've noticed with Media on my phone.
It happens completely at random.
Occasionally I will attempt to play a video file, or an MP3 file using the built-in software. The device will say "unable to play this file type". If I completely shut-down the phone, restart it, then I am able to play the files again. Like I said, happens completely at random, but I will usually have to reboot at least once every 3 or 4 days to resolve this issue.
Also, sometimes and also completely random, my ringtones will simply stop working. I still get a notification on the notification bar, and NoLed still gives me a notification, but no sound. Again, I have to reboot the phone to correct the issue.
Any ideas? Anyone else experience this?
My phone is the Bell 19000M on the latest factory Bell Froyo build with no root or lagfix or anything non-standard. I also noticed this behaviour on the last Froyo build (the one just before Christmas the bricked the phone).
TIA!

I've done this several times, each time I don't even restore a backup, rather I manually drag and drop necessary files back onto the device, and manually re-install applications as necessary. But I appreciate the reply.
I can confirm these issues on a i9000 european uk with jvk gingerbread.

Dammit, that's not good news!
This happens maybe once a week or even more infrequently. I had the media not playing twice in 6 weeks and going out of video, closing with task manager and then back in fixed it.
I had the ringtone bug last week and going in to sound and checking which sound was selected showed the circular icon was blue, sound played ok when I selected it again. On froyo, sometimes I could not select any ringtone that was my own, the blue icon would not work.
This happens very infrequently but it is annoying having missed calls with no ringtone played to alert.
I still have the wifi stopping working in perfect reception at times too.

When this happens on my phone, I had tried going into Task Manager to end all active applications, and clear Level1 and Leve2 memory, but it didn't seem to make a difference for me. Only rebooting the phone did.
I am also experiencing this issue.
I am running stock AT&T Captivate.
I have google music, double twist, and mypod installed as well.
Note: I also notice a problem when I unplug power or headphones it sometimes starts playing music.
Folks, I had the same problem with the media files (video and audio)...occasionally had to reboot to play anything on the phone....scoured the internet and found an obscure reference to the official Twitter application causing this issue (was buried deep inside a forum post). It didn't make much sense to me, but I had the application installed, so I decided to take a shot anyway. My media playback problems disappeared after uninstalling it. Haven't had to reboot my phone even once for this problem ever since. Thinking back, my issues started right about the time that I installed the application.
Anyway, I'm no expert so can't guarantee that the source of your problem is the same, but that is what was definitely causing my problem. I switched to a different third party twitter app, and all has been good ever since.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I am also with Bell Mobility and have an unmodified SGS with the latest firmware available to Bell customers

Hi,
Few weeks ago, around EB13 days, my epic on bonsai rom went haywire. After an unexpected reboot (phone froze so I had to pullout the battery), the phone had FC all over and had boot loops.
I had to odin couple of times and flash roms couple of times to get the phone working. During that time, SD contents viewed from my phone had all the letters corrupted. But after odin EC03, thing went back to normal.
Now, I am running nicely in SRF 1.1.0 in EC03. Everything works well but stock music app freezes whenever I tried to skip a song.
First music selected works, but it freezes when I select different song.
I noticed this with winamp and new federico WP7 music app.
But poweramp works, so I use that for now.
But I want to use new federico's WP7 music app. Anyone have ideas I should try?

I would say one of the 3 DRM files have been removed, but if one music player works, they should all work...
Im getting tired of changing this...
I do have 2 drm files frozen. Maybe that is the reason? I will try after I thaw those two files.
Edit: nope.. not working... I will try backing up sd and format it.

Who cares, use DoubleTwist. It's free and awesome. You'll thank me later

The default music app is a drain on battery, cpu, and resources. It's junky.
Google music.
Use PowerAMP.
Or Fede's Music.

So I set up my Wifi only nexus 7 using a mobile hotspot from my phone and everything went okay. But when I got to my home network I was unable to download or update any apps from the play store as I kept getting an error about the package file being invalid. Trying all the trick I could find to fix this.(without using recovery)...
Removed Google account...
Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates on Google play and framework.... Rebooted and still have the problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Started yesterday. I thought it was the update I was trying to do, but I'm getting it on my Nexus 7 and my GS4. I've tried everything you've tried, and it still isn't downloading the updates to Facebook Messenger or Instagram.
Im having this exact same issue with google apps on the playstore. Cleared cache and data from Google Play and was able to download a few updates but issue still persists. Yesterday my tablet was going crazy saying something to the effect of a UID mismatch and it would just keep looping between that and the boot logo. Reset to factory via TWRP and the error went away but the package file invalid persists. I had been getting various force closes with google framework, launcher...etc fresh out of the box without installing a thing. I really want to like this device but all these errors are making me regret giving my original nexus to my son.
I am having the same issue trying to download the Kindle app over wifi from the play store. I was thinking that I could take the app from my old tablet and then move it to the new tablet. Is there an easy way to do this? Both tablets are rooted.
Thanks, Dennis
I posted this in the thread I made but I have found two solutions to this problem.
1) Install tunnelbear vpn, make an account, and connect to US network.
2) Tether your phone's mobile connection to your tablet. However, I would only do this if you aren't worried about data limits or the app isn't that large.
These two methods have worked for me and I have tried just about everything else. Factory resets, changing DNS settings, clearing data, etc, etc. Nothing like this seems to work since it seems to be a problem on Google's end.
I had this issue but only with one app...
I tethered with my GS3 and it worked

I've tried every "fix" I've seen and nothing works for me: will likely have to wait for a fix from Google. In the meantime, the Amazon app store has many of the same applications and it is not having this issue.
EDIT:
Sideloading also seems unaffected.
I am having the same issue tons of apps not updating. Error 497 and package file is invalid. Also having issues on my Verizon Note 2 my brother on his S4 on Sprint. WTH is going on with Google.

Same issues here. Only thing I can do to get around it is tether to my phone. Driving me crazy. Hoping for a fix soon.
Having this issue for a lot of apps too. I've downloaded quite a few just fine but whenever I go looking for a new one I get this error for things like Google Play Books and Light Flow.
edit: I decided to turn on my phone's hotspot and connect to that instead of my apartment wifi, and it worked then. This is such a strange issue.
Tried both WiFi and my phones tether, no dice when updating hangouts or downloading certain apps. Ughhhh. Such a pain

I guess I should note that I tried other methods first, like clearing data/force stopping Google Play and Google framework services, and then restarting.

same error. tried everything I found on the web. can't even connect to my phone anymore...
This has nothing to do with the nexus 7..
Think this could be related to network setup? I have a static address and I use a default gateway. Anyone else seeing this have their router set up this way?

It's a PlayStore thing.
Have seen reports of devices of various types on everything from HC to 4.3 with the same issue.

Yep. And in fact, here's the weird part.... On phones if you're having the issue on Wifi, try the download over Celluar and it'll likely work.
Weird stuff.
AT&T 1337
Pretty much as the title states
Rooted phone with motochopper, superuser stuff is all good
Downloaded and ran ROM Manger off the store
Recovery setup
installed recovery
successfully installed, rebooted phone
loaded ROM manager again, checked recovery setup, shows current recovery as ClockworkMod Recovery..
so.. yea, everything went off without a hitch.. except when I try to boot into recovery, be it via rom manager or manually, it still just boots into the stock recovery..
I re-read the directions (went off cyanogenmod wiki)
I know Im missing something, but.. what?
EDIT: Well crap. I noticed the install directions I was going off of were for I337UCUAMDB or I337UCUAMDL
I have 1337UCUAMF3
IM guessing I probably need a different version of CWM.
With MF3 you can only you safe strap. Get acquainted with that thread and how safe strap works and unfortunately you can only flash stock based ROMs with stock kernels. No custom ones like CM or AOKP.

Yea, I just found that out..
Let me tell you what kicked this off, maybe you have a suggestion..
Ever since the last update (4.3) the (long stream of expletives) Samsung music player has developed a mind if its own in regards to bluetooth.
There are similar gripes all over the web, but my specific one is that whenI sync the phone to my car OR to my bluetooth unit in my motorcycle helmet.. The samsung music player has decided that IT is the default media player, and there is no way to change it.
So when I hit the play button in my car.. instead of iheart radio, or pandora starting IT starts... and IT just randomly plays any and all audio files on the phone, it doesn't even limit itself to a directory.. I have to unlock the phone, and turn it off... not bad right?
Well on the motorcycle helmet is where its a real bastard.. my SENA unit has 3 buttons VOL+ VOL- and FUNC
the function button by default pauses or plays audio from the default audio player on the connected bluetooth device.. my default being Pandora radio.
Now.. I fire up pandora, put the phone in my jacket and off I go... happy times... vroom vroom.. well a call comes in... the unit pauses the audio player for the call, and resumes it when the call has ended... which has always worked fine... but NOW instead of pandora just picking up where it left off, the goddamn samsung music player starts instead, playing whatever random sounds or recordings are on the phone, actually to be more precise, what happens is pandora starts, then samsung music player starts, which pauses pandora...
So I have to pull over, dig my phone out of my pocket, close samsung music player and start pandora... every single time I get a call, or if I just want to pause and resume the music.. this happens.. Im sure you understand the frustration.
You cant disable it, you can force stop it but it will start again the next time any bluetooth device is connected... Its an unstoppable pile of **** and I want it GONE..
thats what started my cyanogen odyssey..
Ive searched quite a bit, found many people with the same problem, all asking how to disable or remove it.. no solution.
Well, I did (hopefully) find a workaround, an app called bluetooth connect and play. Playing with it on my helmet and it works perfectly.
Still wish i could get rid of all the ABSOLUTE CRAP that Samsung and ATT have piled on this phone..
I don't know if this is going to work for you but it seems to work for me. MK2 / SafeStrap 3.71 / SHOstock v3 on stock slot

I've lost root access, and strangely now cannot get it back, superuser says KNOX is detected, and cannot be disabled. Root checker now says I no longer have root access. A few hours ago it was fine, no issues.
Can't believe you buy a device, and are forbidden from having control over the programs on it.
It's like buying a house, and the realtor telling you what curvature you can and can't have.

How did you use motochopper and the Loki exploit if you were on mf3? Are you sure you were ever actually rooted ?
I'd suggest you try the Kingo root option and see if that works to root.

I have a completely stock XT907 that's been working fairly well for over a year. Completely unmodded, just a 32GB SD card for photos and music, no roots or anything, and the phone is Wifi only with no plan, but as of a few days ago a few problems cropped up. Video playback in the YouTube app, Instagram, Chrome, Dolphin browser and more have been acting weirdly, with browsers reverting several pages back, to the homepage or crashing entirely usually under a minute after a video starts playing. The YouTube app randomly pauses videos about every 30 seconds, and Instagram, even just looking at photos, randomly switches back a page or two after a few minutes of browsing images. Even the Android photo gallery acts strangely, switching back to random photos when I'm browsing through them.
I've done a factory reset on the phone (the SD card didn't clear, however), and looked through settings to see if anything had changed. Nothing. My apologies if I've come to the wrong place, but this seems like an extremely particular issue that I haven't seen anywhere.
