[Q] N9005 note 3 won't play any video/music files! - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've had this phone for over 6 months now, my first (and last) samsung device - great phone, but terrible build quality and it seemingly won't perform some of the basics my old Xperia Z used to do. Such as playing any of my music or videos! I've had no problem playing them on countless Sony Ericsson or Xperia phones over the last 15 years, or any apple device. For some reason nothing will play on the standard music or video player on the note 3. I've tried the standard players, along with poweramp, cubed, mx player, vlc player, plus a few more. The music and videos play fine on my laptop too, I've done a transfer via kids, via media go, I've dragged and dropped straight onto the memory card, I've taken the card out of the phone and done the same. I've also tried re ripping one of my dvds, using the special 'samsung' option in case it's an encoding issue.......nothing works at all. I'm at a loss, just wondered if anyone else has hit this issue and how they fixed it?
It's a rooted UK phone, but running the standard samsung rom so nothing very fancy there that could cause a problem I would imagine.....

How do they not play? Do you get an error? Have you tried a factory reset?
The Note 3 line itself isn't at fault, I use mine all day as a music player and 4 hours a day as a videoplayer with everything from avi to mkv. The only issues I've encountered are copyright related, because there are a few codecs that were removed from most players.

Did I just have to download an Apple program to play the video this thing creates??

My wife recorded the 5 year old's ballet routine so we could put it on the computer for her to practice. I thought it was an ingenius idea, and was very proud of my wife for using it as something other than a phone.
Sure enough, it took 3 damn days to come to the conclusion that the only way to play it correctly on a PC is via quicktime. WMP won't play it with sound. It was recorded on a windows device for crying out loud!?!
Gee whiz, I wonder why WinMo isn't even mentioned anymore when they talk about new apps and concepts coming out. I have never owned an iphone and never will, but this was about the last thing keeping me from Android. WM7 is dead on arrival IMHO. I have had nothing but WinMo since my Blue Angel, but MS has just missed the boat in breathtaking fashion these last few years.

			
				
Get VLC media player.
I got it originally years ago to play vids off my phone, but now use it for everything
VLC was the first thing I tried when I determined that WMP wouldn't work. It gives me this:
No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "samr". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

New Video Problem

Alright here's the deal, I got my HD2 when T-Mo had their sale on the 19th, so I'm pretty new. I've searched the forums, and I found several threads on the audio/video sync issue, but they don't help me too much with the problem I have. I used Red Kawa video conversion software to convert my MKV files to MP4, and while most people were saying the HD2 is the cause of the delay, I will note here that my videos were out of sync before I ever transferred them to the phone, so I had to delay them from the get-go. That's not my problem though. Now that I have about 10 videos in the correct format for the phone (800x480, video 1024kbps, audio 192kbps, -200ms delay) once I actually place them on the storage card and play them, they look fantastic until 7 minutes into any movie I play and the phone freaks out. Regardless of whether I'm in Album or WMP, and TCPMP won't play them hardly at all. I also can't use the slider to select any part of any video or the same thing happens, complete freakout. It's the weirdest thing, and there are videos I put on the phone without the delay that worked fine 2 days ago, but these mess up like clockwork EXACTLY 7 minutes in! Any advice here would be much appreciated. I haven't used Windows Mobile since the 2003 version, so I'm new to a lot of it.
Just wanted to add that the videos play perfectly on my computer, and I can use the slider on here to change spots...
Whoops! I thought I had both Anamorphic and Widescreen profiles set up the same, turns out one was on the Baseline Profile and another was on the Main Profile. As a result Anamorphic (Main) movies play fine, they're still not really slideable, but they don't jack up at 7 minutes.

FLAC playback on Galaxy S

Hi all. I'm a long time lurker and 1st time poster. Having been a long time WinMo user (O2 xda2 mini -> HTC Tytn II -> HTC HD -> HTC HD2), I finally made the switch to Android with the Galaxy S (16GB, baseband version I9000ZSJF7) last week. I bought the phone mainly because of the fantastic looking screen and (supposedly) out-of-the-box FLAC playback. With much anticipation, I went to buy a pair of Westone 3 yesterday. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned as it seems like FLAC playback is broken on Samsung's Music Player that came with the phone. It seems like the Music Player is unable to finish playing a track w/o crapping out, and it would appear to crap out at the same location of the track every time it is played. When that happens, the music would stop with a popup saying that the Music Player has stopped unexpectedly, and I'm told to force close the application. Some of the things I've tried include:
1. Moving the FLAC from the microSD to internal storage. Same issue.
2. Installing andLess which would give me an "initialization error" whenever I play a FLAC file, regardless of whether "direct h/w access" (performed power cycle after change) is enabled or not.
3. Installing Meridian Player which simply fails to play any FLAC file.
The same FLAC files have always been fine on my HTPC (foobar2000), and appears to be working on the HD2 (CorePlayer). Also, I was able to replicate this FLAC playback issue on my friend's Galaxy S with the default Music Player and same basedband version as mine.
Has anyone successfully played your FLAC on your Galaxy S? What kind of software/setting do you use?
It'd be much appreciated if you guys can enlighten me! Thanks.

No problem with tested 43.79M 5:01/5:01 flac song.
Hi Dexter, thanks for your response. I guess you must be using the stock Samsung Music Player? I suspect that the FLAC playback issue I'm having is related to the stock ZSJF7 ROM. This same issue can be replicated on my friend's phone with the same ROM and I couldn't seem to find another person having this problem after some Googling. Maybe I should bring the phone back to Sammy's service center for them to have a look at it.
Haven't had any issues myself.
Been playing Tupac's All Eyez On Me album (2CDs/27 tracks of epic lossless ).
Tested on a few firmwares - JF1, JFB, JFF, and now JG1.
I have had music player crash once though (when I was downloading about 5 items at once.. and running a bunch of apps in the background, phone mega lagged and crashed lol)
The fact thats crashing on the same spot suggests to me that it might be a problem with your files, ie. they might be corrupt. I'm not a flac expert thought, but I've had similar issues with MP3s that are corrupt or imperfectly conforming to the MP3 standard, where some players would play and some wouldnt.
IIRC mixzing player might be able to play flac (free version can be downloaded from market)

Thanks for your response. Are you using the default Samsung Music Player?
I initially thought that my FLAC files were to blame but I have run into the same playback issue with every single FLAC I've tried so far while playback of the same files is absolutely fine on the HTPC. I'll try to play these files directly from the microSD card when I get home. Another thing is that my friend was playing his own FLAC on his Galaxy S and we still run into the same issue on different phones. I think it's a bit unlikely that we both have corrupted FLAC that would otherwise play without issues elsewhere. As for andLess and Meridian Player, they simply won't work at all so the primary suspect would appear to be the Hong Kong ROM that we both have. As far as I know, andLess and Meridian don't require rooting, no (my phone isn't rooted)?
Anyway, I'll bring the phone to the service center and see what do they have to say about this.
No problems playing FLACs here with standard Samsung Music-player, on XXJF3.
Except, it doesn't read the ID3-tags, so they all appear as unknown artist - which is quite bothersome.
yes, using default samsung player.
Like I said, I think there are some free players which can play flac, like mixzing if i remember correctly. You should try them
You said they all freeze at the same spot right... what spot is that?
Are you getting all your flacs from the same source/software? Are all the files the same length? Surely if say.. they all freeze at 1min mark, can you try a 59second song cut?
I'm a little skeptical I guess... it sounds more like software problem than a hardware issue.
I'd flash to a newer firmware if I was you, but I understand if you don't want to flash (the risks + data loss etc).
..been playing FLAC on my unit from when it was on stock firmware and now JG1.. no issues whatsoever.. yup, using the default player.
..weird that you are having issues on playing flac files.. it might be the case that the file is corrupted during transfer.. but i might be wrong.
..providing the details of the flac file here would help other experienced users assist you with your case.. just a friendly advise.
Many thanks for the replies. I was at the Samsung service center earlier & their suggestion to me was use MP3 instead as FLAC takes up too much space & requires too much processing power! I don't buy that bs and I wouldn't think that's an ideal solution. The dude then "hinted" at installing a custom ROM or wait for the 2.2 update. Wow...
I've installed Mixzing which has FLAC support but unfortunately same issue as before. My FLAC collection consists of *cough* d/l'ed stuff and a few EAC rip of my CDs. What kind of FLAC info can I post? Anyway, I'll try to rip a few more CDs when I get the chance. Btw, does Android have native FAT32 support for microSD?
I know I need to make sure the FLACs aren't corrupted but I'm inclined to think this is an issue with the Hong Kong ROM which me and my friend has. And it seems like no one else is experiencing this issue! I know a third person who has this phone so perhaps I can try to verify with him also.
Thanks once again and I shall report back with any new findings.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
edit: the playback would crap out at the different points for different track but always the same point for the same track. So I suppose that would indicate that something is wrong with the FLACs themselves.
What happens if you put the flac files wich are on the phone back on the pc and play them with an other device? That way you can at least determin if the fault may lie in the transfer of the files? I had some avi's corrupting while putting them on the phone, reinstalling the usb drivers (and kies) fixed that for me
Ok, I took the microSD card out and played the FLACs directly from my HTPC with foobar2000. Just to make sure, I'm also playing the FLACs now directly from the microSD card on my work laptop with Winamp as the player. I didn't encounter any problem when playing these FLACs from the HTPC and the laptop with two different players so I am quite confident that the files and the microSD card are fine. I think I've also mentioned before that I have already tried to play the same FLACs on the microSD card with CorePlayer on my HTC HD2 w/o any issues.
During the encounter with a certain "individual" yesterday, he has suggested that the Samsung Music Player was poorly written and was maxing out the CPU when I try to play a FLAC on the phone. That was contrary to my knowledge as I don't think FLAC decoding is something that the Hummingbird with 512MB of RAM can't handle. So I loaded TaskManager which seems to indicate that the Music Player was at most using 3% of the CPU while playing a FLAC.
So, from what I have gathered so far:
1. AFAIK, this FLAC playback issue has only appeared on 3 phones (mine, my friend's, and the Samsung tech's) all with stock Hong Kong ROM. No one else with other ROMs seem to have this issue I'm currently experiencing.
2. The same issue shows up on 3 different players I've tried on the Galaxy S.
3. I have used the same microSD card and successfully played the same FLACs on my HTPC, laptop and HTC HD2 with no issue at all.
4. The Sammy tech seems to have acknowledged that there's an issue with FLAC playback on our phones, but doesn't seem to be in a position to do anything to fix this.
Do you guys reckon this issue is caused by the HK ROM? I'm ready to flash to a different ROM (preferably with Chinese handwriting input as I occasionally use that). If flashing is indeed necessary, where can I get some step-by-step guide and more info on ROM selection?
ps. As a thing that's somewhat unrelated to my problem, I want to say that there is massive difference in sound quality between the different players. I was at my friend's place testing the Galaxy S with his two monoblock tube amps hooked up to a pair of B&W 804s. We tried the default Sammy Music Player, Mixzing and some Chinese music player app which the certain "individual" advised me to try. It turns out that the Sammy player sounded the best while there was a very noticeable drop in sound quality with Mixzing. Now how that difference in SQ translates into earphone application is I guess an entirely different story.
After the test, my friend concluded that the SQ of the Sammy player was so close to his HTPC (his main audio source equipped with an X-Fi XtremeMusic) that he is now seriously considering a Wavelength USB DAC to replace the X-Fi...
EDIT: Just found this thread on ROM flashing. Now I gotta find a ROM that fits my requirements.
No idea if a ROM flash would fix it, but since it doesnt seem to be hardware related AND the only correspondence in ROM's wich give this problem are the HK ones, I would say its at least worth considering.
Well, I ended up flashing to a South East Asian DXJF4 ROM and guess what? I've gone through 4 or 5 FLACs with no problem! So the problem is definitely caused by something on the HK ROM. I guess I should report this finding to Samsung so that they won't screw up the 2.2 HK ROM.
I went with a SEA ROM hoping I can get decent Chinese handwriting input with it. Unfortunately, it uses a different Chinese input from the HK ROM and I'm having a tough time to even write my own name lol. Another thing is I still can't get the Music Player to recognize WAV files
Oh well, at least I've got FLAC playback sorted out and that's the more important thing...
I also have a HK SGS and am having problems with flac files, sometimes they stop, sometimes they skip to the next song.
I have a UK SGS which started out on JF3 and is now on JG3. I've got one particular FLAC track that stops a couple of minutes in and i have to bump it forward 30 seconds or so and it then caries on. Other than that i've not noticed a problem with FLAC playback on the stock music player.
I'm a bit late to this thread but I've had the same problem as the OP when on ZSJF7 firmware. Had to revert to DXJF4.

I have several tracks that do this as well - doesn't matter which firmware the phone's running on (haven't tried JG5 yet). There's no problem with MP3 playback.
Westone 3's??? Nice OP
btw i saw on another forum a similar issue of FLAC tags not being read. Has anybody found a solution to that, cuz that sucks big time, having hundreds of files in "UNKNOWN" is a real pain. I'll keep looking.

I have a problem with the FLAC tags, I have the Korean Galaxy S SHW-m110s I haven't tried to reupload since getting to firmware updates. I did dl flac tag conversion software that mostly improved this, but for whatever reason the last letter cut off and now I've just thought of also adding a space after the last letter...hmm...anyways...I'll put new FLAC on the phone and hope there is a better answer to this.

Where'd you download the conversion software from? Even if the last letter's cut off it's better than nothing
The FLAC problem seems fixed in the latest offical ZSJG4 firmware from Kies. I already listened for 8 flac songs without stop or program crash.

Music player glitch on i9000m... absolutely fed up... solutions?

Hey all,
I typically never register and make my first a complaint/help post, but this problem has been plaguing me ever since I first got my Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell (i9000m) a week ago and now I'm pretty much desperate in looking for a solution, as music listening happens to be a HUGE part of my Smartphone experience. I love the phone with everything else thus far after coming over from iphone 3G and definitely wouldn't want to change the phone just because of this problem... but it's becoming way too persistent for me that I'm actually considering switching back to Apple (even though I don't want to).
Here's the problem: The music player seems absolutely incapable of smooth playback of music for whatever reason. In my ~10 years of music phone experience (I got the first ever mp3 phone released here in Canada - the Samsung Uproar, many years ago actually), this phone is the first to have such problems. Here are some symptoms and settings, music playing on both the stock music player as well as btunes that I downloaded and paid for:
- MP3/AAC files stutter/skip seemingly at random. Not majorly but for half a second or so at different parts of the song. Happens somewhat consistently, every 4 minutes or so, but at random.
- Here's an interesting thing; the ability for FLAC playback is one of the main reasons why I purchased this phone, and so far it's incapable of doing so properly. EACH AND EVERY FLAC song I have stutter/skips at a certain point for 3/4th of a second... and the funny thing is that this seems to occur at exact same point of each song.
- Before any of you question the point, 95% of these are self-ripped FLAC/mp3 files from my own cd's, using EAC. I'm an audiophile and know well how to rip songs properly, so I know this is 100% NOT the problem of the files itself... especially since they play perfectly in every single music player software/mp3 player/cellphone that I've ever used.
- This happens in both stock touchwiz and launcher pro UI that I'm currently using.
- Happens in both stock player and btunes as mentioned earlier. Interesting thing about FLAC files; I mentioned before each files skip at same parts of the song... interestingly the stock player and btunes seem to skip with these files at DIFFERENT parts of the song, yet the part where they stutter/skip is still the same for each player. So for example, Song A would skip on stock player at 3:31 point of the song each time, but that same Song A would skip on btunes at 2:23 point of the song every time...
- I do have beautiful weather widget running, and will test it out soon to see if this is the problem (haven't got around to doing so yet and don't have headphones with me atm)... but even if it is, it would seem appaling to me that a widget and a simple resource-light music player can't coexist... doesn't make sense to me and kind of misses the point of a high end smartphone.
- I'm not going to use Airplane mode as a solution, since this pretty much misses the point of the smartphone as I've said above. Besides, I've tried it already and music STILL stuttered/skipped!
- As I have high end headphones/IEMs such as Audio Technica ESW10JPN and Shure SE530, it's definitely not the headphones, and they work flawlessly in any other player.
- Drag and drop, media player, Kies, you name it... every method of transfer of songs gives the same problem.
- Internal SD card, External SD card... doesn't seem to make a lick of difference either.
- I have the stock JG9 firmware that my phone came with. I would download the new one that is apparently out for my i9000m version (JH2) if Kies ever detects the damn thing (it's never there as an update)...
So any clues on how to solve this annoying problem. As I've said, this is the ONLY problem I've had with my unit (my GPS is fine, and phone runs lag free) and its a darn shame because music playback is a huge part of my smartphone use. Is this likely a firmware problem? Or just a problem with memory use? If I don't have to I'd REALLY rather not root the phone but if that solves it for certain then I'm actually willing to look into it... that's how desperate I am to solve this problem.
I'd appreciate any input in this matter... thanks in advance.
I had the same problem, and pinned it down to one of my widgets hogging all the resources. As soon as I disabled the widget, playback was fine again.

disable media scan

Just a guess but this would require rooting, won't it?
yes, as you need to install another piece of software to do the trick
but you can always Un-root, if you ever need to send your phone for warranty

Probably more bad coding of the free widgets rather than the phone not being capable. I can write a 4 line .vbs script that will cane most PC's and drag them to their knees.
Have you done a factory reset? No problems here, love the music player. I have beautiful home also
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
mine doesnt skip at all even while using gps.. i would recommend that you check your sd card.. maybe bad or too slow..
that is indeed a posibility.
in older devices low speed SD cards can cause data skip
but now in days most SD cards are pretty fast, so the problem shouldn't be there, yet you'll never know, so that's the posibility
Nah. My external micro SD is a class 6 Sandisk, and I'm sure the internal one isn't all that bad either... comes with the phone after all. Pretty sure it isn't the SD Cards as the problem happens on both. Tried the music player without any widgets running, with the phone connected through headphone jack into AUX of my car for about 6 minutes at lunch... and it actually played pretty smoothly... but I'll have to try that out more extensively later, plus try it with FLAC files as well.
Haven't done a factory reset (apparently it doesn't do much for ppl who's had same problems), but I'll be flashing to the JH2 later on today so I'm guessing that'll be more or less the same thing... hoping that it makes some sort of difference.
Alright, I was able to install JH2 firmware and play around with turning off the widgets and such... and it did not do ANYTHING with the FLAC Playback problems. The same tracks always still skip at the same place in the song, and no FLAC files seems to play 100% smoothly... and the tags are still broken. Turning off the widgets don't stop these glitches. MP3's on the other hand seems perfect for the most part unless I missed something... At this point, I'm just inclined to believe that FLAC support for Galaxy at this time is heavily glitched. Does anyone else here have perfect FLAC playback? Totally smooth with perfect tags and everything? If you do, please post the firmware and settings and all that.
Ugh, at least even iphone 4 had a perfect music player and a perfect lossless support, although it's ALAC instead of FLAC... strongly considering it now if the player is going to remain glitched like this. The phone is so excellent besides this, that I'd hate to do that... but music listening just happens to be a big part of my smartphone use.
other users have reported the same findings about FLAC
this is just a software thing, it'll be fixed in no time

I have the same thing too.. I suspect its a scheduling issue or buffering issue. Not sure about your tag issues though, as they work fine for me

My biggest concern is that FLAC playback is solely Samsung's responsibility apparently (Android apparently doesn't natively support FLAC, so I don't expect Froyo to do much), and I really doubt that it's one of their priorities for fixing at the moment (especially with the whole GPS issue). It's up to Sammy to fix it, but I can't say I have too much faith.
Well, since I've got an android phone and all I think I'll root this phone and play around with the setCPU stuff, and see if that helps. This fixed it for one of the users from what I've read.
I've got no problems playing any FLAC file on my default Samsung player very smooth. I haven't rooted my phone or ever installed custom firmwares. I am running the new official UK firmware XXJM1.
Details
Sandisk Class 4 4GB card.
FLAC Bitrate: 1411Kbps ~ Lossless Audio Codec File
Wow... well, it's at least a good news that someone else can playback FLAC smoothly without any problems... and it also means that if this is true, then its more than likely that this is purely a firmware issue... which means it's more than possible for Samsung to fix this.
Factory reset solved media issues for several people I know of. So if you didn't reset your phone when you got it, do so now and chances are you are rid of the problem.

I've flashed to a new firmware since I first got it. Wouldn't this technically be the same thing as factory reset since the initial firmware/contents got wiped out clean and replaced by a brand new one? And even after that unfortunately the audio problems still remain for me...
Try putting the music onto external sd card. Had audio skipping problems after installing one click click lag fix and went crazy trying to figure it out.

It's been on external SD card since the second day. Doesn't seem to matter for me at all since the files skip the same way on both internal and external card.
I'm going to go to the Bell Store anyway today (to discuss phone plan stuff), so I think I'll take my SD card with me and try the demo models to see if there are same playback problems on those. I really doubt this is due to hardware but hey, since I'll be there anyway, why not.

[Q] Performance Degredation

I've had my u8800 for about a month now and in the past two weeks I've noticed an odd performance degredation; Youtube HD videos will now no longer play properly, instead they will stutter, skip and sometimes just won't display anything at all. I've uninstalled the new programs that I've chucked on in the past couple of weeks (I've been trying out a lot of media players) yet youtube is still failing.
Is there any chance one of these media players (V media player, rock media player lite were a few among the number that I tried) have left behind something that is messing with my youtube HD video playback ? Am I going to have to re-flash?
Thanks, William =)
Ps. I'm running B136SP02 Australian update, rooted with Z4root
Sounds like you might have to flash the Rom...Try one of the latest, perhaps 138, you'll notice a lot of improvements.
Thanks - will do =)
