Hello beautiful people.
So, what happened was, I recorded a video, i did press pause a few times, to keep the video in one file. The location would be on micro sd card.
After some time (some time did run by), then I somehow hadn't noticed that the battery might be running flat. NExt thing is, the phone shuts off/down. I was hoping that it did save the footage. But alas, the only thing I can figure, is that there are 2 files in a 'thumbnail' folder, sized 600-800 MB, these seems to be interesting because of the timestamps. A thumbnail can hardly be of those sizes ?
I copied them to the PC and renamed them to .MP4, however, because of a missing 'header' or something they don't seem to be playable, I checked them with IrFanVew, SUPER, and other programs. They don't seem to recognize the files.
And year, its the i9505 model, rooted, with hm, omega rom (v19 on 4.3 jelly-cream-cookie-icing-on-the-cake or whatever)
before the next 20 replies tell me to use search function..i have searched in vain for vast amount of time, and nothing seems to help.
I hope I have explained the problem well. I assume, as the video recording can tell the used space (I figure 600-800mb is the size used, or like 5-7 minutes in fullHD), that the footage is saved somewhere.
Would there be any hope in using recovery programs ? I haven't have luck using those in the past, as they find all kinds of junk (including tons of thumbnails and logos etc), and I suppose, the actualy <temporary?> footage isn't classified as an .MP4 video file.
What do you think ? The problem lies not in, forgetting to save the footage, or pressing the back button. the footage/ the recording may very well have been on pause, while the phone shut off because of lack of battery power. THough I haven't checked the battery, as I replace batteries, when one battery is low. WIth a dock, i simply switch out the battery.
Thanks a bunch in advance to any good tips and help you can come up with. If anyone has a good understanding of how the standard camera app works as for saving footage in terms of temporary file locations, and/or how to handle said temporary footage files, I'd be grateful. Maybe I can check up on whether there's any temporary files that hopefully can be converted in to working video viles ?

Dear all,
I have the HD2 and 16gb SD card. When I pair the device to my bluetooth headphones (Motorola S805) the device freezes for 3 minutes and trying to get the thing to play audio takes 5 to 10 minutes. I noticed that the device spends its time trying to scan through all the music on the card (12.1gb) and then eventually the audio manger crashes. Has any encountered this and also has anyone found a fix for this??? I am about to send the device back for a replacement as I have owned mine for less that 2 weeks and they wont take it back or cancel the contract so a replacement is all I can achieve at this stage. i previously owned HD, Ted Baker Needle and Tytnii and have never had this issue. I also noticed that HD2 does not offer a voice dialer???? Is that right??? Please help
I am having the same problem guys. I am ex-3GS user and I'm really mad a great hardware like hd2 can not play my music library(10 gigs). this also leads to very slow performance in my device in general when i choose to play any piece of mp3.
does any one every had the same problem ??!!
Thanks.
Fine with 7 gigs of music here. Ofcourse it takes some time to scan the card but then everything´s working fluently
I've seen a crash or an endless loop of library scanning a couple of times right after adding new music. A simple soft reset solved it.
The library file is "Application Data/HTC/AudioManager_Eng/AudioManager_Eng". You could try and delete or rename it and see what happens. Wait for the Audiomanager to start rescanning your files, and when it's scanning, wait untill it finishes.
If that doesn't work, something in your library is causing trouble. A corrupt mp3 file maybe, something the Audio Manager wants to read but can't.
My library is about 12-13gb, so size shouldn't be the problem.
Most of the times the audio manger crashes because it contains illegal characters (characters that it cannot read by default). Make sure you're files do not contain any special characters and language specific characters.
I have similar problems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6110471#post6110471
Will try to avoid language specific characters in filenames and report back.

HTC itself do help
hi, lets us trust the one and only HTC itself.
got 1 best solution. no need to figure out other method to fix it. i done mine and it works! my MUSIC player working normal without any bugs. yayyy!

sort out your music into different folders try to have at most 30 songs in a folder, yes the hd2 is a powerful device but it still has limitations oe of which is the filesystem if all your songs are in one folder the filesystem would crash or make the whole device run slowly
Hi guys. I tried looking for a review that spoke specifically about how the TF300 works with ICS, but I didn't come across any. Maybe I didn't look hard enough . Anyhow - here are some newbie thoughts on the device. Having had it for three days. But I will try to keep this more software, rather than hardware oriented.
I got the dock as well. Initially, the power mode was set to balanced, but I felt like the device was a bit slow in response, so I set it to full performance mode. With that on, the power on the dock drains fairly quickly. I lost about 20%+ dock charge to the tablet in about an hour of light use: browsing with streaming radio in the background (via TuneIn). GPS off. Low brightness setting.
The browser is just ok, but not great for me. Many sites default to the mobile version though (as to be expected). Haven't figured out how to change the home page from Asus as yet. Pages seem to load a bit slower than on my Motorola Milestone 1 on gingerbread (CM7) or on my iPad1 on the same wifi connection.
I tried to maneuver between Maps, Browser and Polaris Sheet without an external mouse - and this was a bit tricky. I had problems selecting, copying and pasting text from one to the other. It doesn't seem to accept the typical Ctrl+C or Ctrl+V functions either. Using Polaris Sheet is not all that intuitive, and responds a bit different from traditional excel, but still useful.
I installed Netflix on it. On both my phone and iPad, scrolling left-right or up down is alot more fluid, while on the TF - it's a bit choppy. This is on a 5meg DSL connection. When I click on videos on the TF300 it sometimes take a few seconds or a few tries before it does anything. Also, during playback, when I try to scrub, it doesn't show me frames as it does on the other two devices (or as it does on a PC). I also do not see the language selection pop-up. It might be that Netflix itself is not optimized for ICS?
I inserted a standard 2GB SD card from a Canon digital camera into the keyboard slot. It saw the card and the first two folders in the hierarchy. However, when I tried to access the folder with the pictures (DCIM) - it just sat there thinking.....and thinking. I tried to access from File Manager and Polaris - and neither way worked. . I didn't try another SD card from another camera or device as yet.
I tried skype on it as well. The self picture compensates the exposure a bit too much if it detects a bright area behind you and you find that your picture (and resulting feed to the other end) comes out rather dark. There should be some way to adjust that, without having to point the thing downward or away from any background light source. A workaround will be to turn of any lights behind you (if you're indoors). If you are outdoors, I don't know how it will behave.
All in all, it's ok so far, and I still need to use it some more to see if there are tweaks to help with some of the problems I've encountered so far and review some of the tips that are out there. I will update this thread later on too.
I have a SM-900V that is running a rooted stock version of MJ7. I removed most of the bloatware, but I noticed that my battery drains much faster than before.
Below is a screenshot of my battery usage by app. I see that the index service is using more battery than ever.
Can I uninstall this application? What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing this? What can I do to change the indexing settings?
Thank you all for your help

I noticed the exact same thing was happening on my Verizon Note 3 last week sometime as well. Usually when I'm at work all day, I leave work around 4 and my battery is still 90-95% full, but all of a sudden one day after work, my dang battery was showing like 45-55% !! I was like WTF??? So I did the same thing as you and checked the battery stats and found the exact same thing, "IndexService," was EATING MY BATTERY ALIVE! It was practically dropping percentages in front of my eyes..
I did a lot of research on xda and all over the web and there's a TON of info about it. LOTS and LOTS of people have experienced this problem besides just us, so I didn't feel NEARRRLLLYYY as bad lol. The general consensus from others experiencing this is that it has to do with the "IndexService" scanning the files on the phone and "getting hung up" on a corrupted/bad .pdf file(s), thus stuck in some sort of loop of trying to scan/analyze the culprit .pdf file(s), thus eating your battery alive. From what I've read, there's not really any way to really determine what the specific file(s) is/are, so most people have just removed the last few .pdf files that they've downloaded/transferred to their phones. I guess your options for that route are either deleting the last few(or all new ones) .pdf files, sending them to cloud storage, transferring them over to another form of media storage(different sd card, pc hard drive, cloud, etc.), formatting the external SD card(if that's where the file(s) are located), or removal and replacing with a different card altogether. After you remove whatever is the cause, just try to avoid downloading any .pdf files at all.
I, on the other hand, didn't feel like getting rid of any files, so I just used the donation version of the "Greenify" app and greenified "IndexService" as well as "S-Finder"( "S-Finder" is a Samsung search app that's a co-conspirator involved in all of this mess!! ). By using "Greenify," it seemed to solve my problem almost immediately, as over the next few hours after "Greenifying" those two, it was almost like instant gratification! I haven't tried using TiBackup to freeze them, but I'm pretty certain that I read of that also being an option. I don't see why it wouldn't work just the same, if not better than the methods I just discussed.
Good luck and I hope this helps a little bit!! :good:

Thanks. I did just load a bunch of PDFs onto my phone. I'll remove them and see if it helps. I'll move them to the cloud, as you suggested.
Any other tips?
Removing all of the PDF files and putting them into the cloud vastly improved my battery life back to what I was used to! Thanks for the tip!
I'll have to try Greenify.
I noticed this same thing, but not after putting PDFs on my phone, it happened after using S-Note.
Hopefully this works, kinda bad to have a Note 3 and not really be able to use my S-Pen to take notes on it because the indexing goes mad whenever I do, especially now that I have 4.4 and the other major selling point of this phone has been gimped.
So from some research I've learned that I cannot root my phone because of the Marshmallow update, which is unfortunate to say the least because I want this exact mod:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-hx-camera-mod1-0quality-t2816831
Primarily I need it so I can record video for over the FAT32 HDD limits. Mucking about with quality, focus and all that is a bonus at this point basically. All I want is to record video to a micro SD on the phone without having to hit the record button every twenty minutes! Preferably it would run for about three hours for my needs. Attempted to use Autoboy dash cam because reviews stated that it would simply stop and start recording for you, essentially just hitting the "record" button for you when a clip reached its maximum file size--but this hasn't worked for me. The video listed under Autoboy's internal file directory shows the clip at 48 minutes, but when accessed through the file manager the clip states 28 minutes, and plays at only 28 minutes regardless of how the file is accessed.
Basically:
1. Is there a way to root this phone yet? (I would do anything at this point, but I know there isn't.)
2. Is there a camera app or hack that will do this for me, without being majorly unreliable or downgrading quality immensely?
Thank you for your time, I've tried researching this on my own but have continually hit a number of dead ends it seems. Hope for a quick and helpful reply (the answer that this is impossible is also quite helpful)!
Hello,
Hello everyone, I have googled this question with no luck.
I am a musician. I use my lhone to record performances. When I finish, the video is cut into segments are are about 33 minutes long. Is this a "feature" that can be turned off?
Thanks.

I believe this is an Android limitation, I think there are a few camera apps that can record continuously (think they just rejoin videos together,but result is the same). Maybe a XDA guru can help with that.
Ive used this to join videos together that Ive already recorded with decent success. Hope this helps

My HTC M8 records overr 3 hours of continuous video.
That's what I usually use to record our gigs, but I borrowed it to a friend who dropped his phone in a toilet. Ha.
I guess I could try 3rd party camera apps, but I feel like I shouldnt have to do that......sigh.
Im honestly shocked this was still a thing with your post, my old Galaxy 2 from many years ago is when I 1st discovered this. I haven't had a need for long video's since but multiple scenes becoming 1 video has been needed (kinda how I found that app). Im wondering what is HTC doin to make it all work together.
I'm not sure why, but it seems like it's a file size thing. For example, if I record in max resolution, I get about 11-ish minutes before it splits into a new file. Makes me wonder if it's going on file size, not so much length? granted, would have to test by recording in different formats to see. But it sure is a bother having to go use a 3rd party to join them back together afterwards.
Hmmm,FAT32 file size limit is 2GB so maybe your on to something. I can't recall if I tried to put the SD Card in NTFS format back in the day but hey its worth a shot to OP.
