Anyone know of a ROM with no video playback issues? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's going world.. I'm kind of getting really annoyed at the fact that no matter what KitKat ROM I flash on my phone I ALWAYS run into the same issue.. Video playback is unstable.. Whether it be on Chrome browser or YouTube.. Two apps I use ALL the time! I'm running latest Mahdi ROM and still the same issue and I always find my way back to LG's stock ROM because quite frankly it is the most stable of all ROMs.. Any suggestions on a ROM without this issue? This is truly annoying to me.. Thanks in advance!

What are you're specific issues? Its hard to help without more info to you're problem.

The video playback on each and every KitKat ROM I've flashed always have video playback issues.. It takes a bit to load videos here and there and it usually force closes on both YouTube app and through Chrome browser.. Also every now and then(not often) even videos on my sdcard won't show the video it will just be a black screen. I'll have to reboot phone and then it works again.

All the kitkat roms are based on cyanogenmod kernel. All aosp roms will have the same issues as cyanogenmod. This has been the case on most phones for a while

Any clue if this will be fixed? I don't know if I'm being a bit ignorant but shouldn't it have been fixed by this time already? Been quite a while.

Been using this ROM and Youtube seems to work fine for me:

Universal fix to everything is to reflash. Sucks to lose a lot of data but good thing we got titanium backup.

If you want the newest YouTube app you have to be on 2.2+. I think there is a apk floating around but the last time I tried it I was getting FC issues when logging in. Maybe try searching the general section of Android games and apps to see if it has been fixed.
Good luck and let me know what you find.

Sure will give it a try but i think it doesn't have anything to do with 2.2 since stock rom has the updated version of the apk

Desire HD camera not working

Hi everyone I need help, I am not a noon to flashing etc. However my camera and camcorder have suddenly stopped working, everytime I open either one it just freezes at a backscreen. I thought it would be a bug in a Rom so I switched but It's not working. Tried everything ...if anyone can help it would be appreciated

If you tried another rom with full wipe and the issue is occurring the next think to do is to flash an ruu file.

Fixed...for now...I switched to stock sense and it wasn't working, I turned my phone off for the night and when I woke up in the morning it was working. Will have to see if its working on other roms, thanx for the tips though
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Have you concluded that the fix was leaving your phone off over night? I have the same issue and have tried a few different rom's none of which have fixed it. I was at the point of returning the phone to be repaired.
I guess I'm really asking, did you do anything else? Remove some software, try a specific rom?
It happened to my camera...but that might be due to the fact that the plastic cover in front of the lens has broken orf and the actual camera unit has taken quite a beating! Works now, I went for a run and when I came back it was perfect
Maybe the running jolted it back into position? Try the same thing xD
Could be that you need to go back to stock and make it like it came from the factory. I wonder if overclocking can damage the camera unit?
I just full wiped and went back on the stock rom, turned my phone off and woke up in the morning and the camera was working switched back to other roms and it was working on all of them.. Hopefullly this will work
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
if you have changed rom and the problem persists chances are it's hardware related. I have seen a dhd with similar problems, aswell as wifi problems and it was due to overheating. If you took out the battery it would work for a few hours but then it would do the same
Anyone still having any camera problems??

Im having this problem as well. Exactly like the OP. Not too keen on flashing back to stock rom however.
I did see someone mentioning problems with wifi in conjunction with the camera problem. I have this as well.

I never understood why some people had those problems after the update and others had none. I wasn't one of the lucky ones either. Try the Revolution HD ROM. It's cleaned up stock so it looks the same but runs faster and has none of those problems. Everything just works.

Good question. The number of people having problems is quite small percentage wise though. I just picked up a pair of TF's from a guy on Craigslist for $200. After restoring them back to 100% stock, they've been up and running for a week now for testing, without issue. I'm about to flip them on eBay. I still use my TF everyday too, but not as much as I used to. My N7 gets used more now.

I had the sound bug and Google Maps crashing on me when I first did the update - and tried all the different solutions posted in the forum to no avail.
I know it's not what you want to hear - but a factory reset sorted all the problems out for me and everything works much more smoothly now.
Flashed reveloution Rom no issues so far

Try Team EOS 3 *JELLYBEAN* Nightlies combined with K.A.T. kernel and app. Works like a charm and no sound issues at all.

Hmmm. I never had to worry about the sound issue with Mike's ROM, but using Volume+ from the Play Store seems to have solved that same issue on CM10 for some reason, so you might give that a try. No idea why it's working exactly, but no complaints, either.

nobody cares about the call ended issue on aosp roms???

I see a lot of people using this typeof ROMs and they don't seem to care about this issue...this is the only thing keeping me away of this ROMs.....is this ever going to get fixed or can anyone try to report it the right way???
I care about it bc I make a lot of calls and use the actual phone feature the most out of everything on my phone. this is a known issue with the s4 which I've never had on any other phone. some people report never having the issue. regardless I'm gonna leave it to the pros

I installed the Avatar ROM. All was going well until I needed to use my phone. Yeaaaa. NO. I can make the call...and even receive calls. But no audio whatsoever. Whats up with this? Im not sure if Avatar is an AOSP ROM but...it sukks. I had to flash back to PacMan. I was hella diggin Avatar too. I had installed the Optimus Prime theme and set up my entire phone. Only to have to delete it all. FAIL

Note 3 stock browser peformance

I seem to have an issue an I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing a similar problem or knows a fix. Basically the stock browser keeps hanging while loading Web pages. It seems to wait a bit longer than normal before loading pages more often than not. It happens both on wifi an hsdpa. I've noticed chrome doesn't have the issue at al. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
Slightly off topic but how the heck do you do a rollover on a button? In any browser? I like the stock browser but I hate having to long press on a button then hit back on the soft key to get it to work! I'm no iFan but I do have to commend apple on getting that one thing right. Why does it take these android devs so long to figure this out lol.
I think the main issue is with android fragmentation, where as Apple only have their iDevices.. Gives them more control.
Op I get my note 3 later, will test it out and try a few solutions.. Hopefully there's a silly fix somewhere as I was planning on using stock browser as it's always performed well!! Have you tried dolphin? That's a quick snappy browser imo.

I've been playing with the stock browser for the last day or so since getting this phone. Super smooth and fast. No hiccups or laggy periods. And I also agree the new tab switching is nice compared to older versions I've used (I came from a note 1). The only gripe I have is that you can't seem to load new tabs in background. Now, every time I open a new tab, it loads upon top. Irritating, although I'll have to get used to it.

What about kinetic scrolling? Is it as responsive as note 2? Also I am experiencing this annoying issue when I click on a picture on facebook mobile website it is displayed in very small size. Chrome does not have this issue neither does the stock browser on note 2

Also something that anoyes me a lot in the note 3 is the auto fit pages.. It seems to have disappeared even in chrome. Really a bummer .. With this gorgeous screen you are left out with pages that you have to slide from side to side to be able to read a zoomed page :banghead:

Step away from the Stock Browser would be my suggestion. Ive been using Chrome and havent had any issues. There are other browsers that have been tested and proved great performance
