Leo cant playback a 2 mintue clip -_-

I did some recording, of nothing in particular, just around the house and after I finished I went to play it, and after about 5 minutes I assume it must of frozen or something as it was still on that loading screen...
Another faiure by htc -_- , has anyone had the same problems and/or found solutions?
Thanks

My HD2 has no problems as you're describing, so your post title is completely misleading.
However, have you tweaked the recording settings? Are you storing the footage on your Micro SD? What speed is it?
We need more info to try to help you

Yeah I am saving it to memory card, but Im not sure what speed it is, theres a 2 with a circle round it, does that help?
thanks for the response

That's means it's a class 2 card, which is slow, trying changing where it stores to say like the internal memory and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then buy yourself a class 4 or 6 micro SD card.

ahh ok, well that sucks
Hopefully amazon will do a full return, do they sell them as class 2/4/6 or is it just random?

I just made a video of 4:45 and it played back instantly. Took about a second on the loading screen.
Do us a favour - stop finding faults and then posting them and instantly claiming a fail on the part of HTC. You need to investigate issues a little more before start complaining. How about starting with the attitude that there may be something wrong, rather than the attitude that there is something wrong.
I am using a 16GB Class 2 SanDisk card, and saving vid directly to the card, so unless your card is faulty, I can't see it being that.

As johncmolyneux stated it's probably just your sd card is screwed, you could try just reformatting and see if that helps. If you decide to buy a new SD card, they will clearly state their speed, whether it be class 2, 4 or 6. Obviously the faster you go the more you'll pay.

Yeah maybe I'll try formatting, if not I guess I'll have to return it

I have tried formatting it, yet t still cant seem to play even 13 seconds worth of video. I switched the save locations to the device, still nothing.
I do however have a hunch, there is 1 video that I recorded that I can play on there, and its one I took the night I got the phone, before switching my settings and installing extra modes from damien123_666, so maybe the settings are too high quality and the phone is strugging with them? Maybe when I update the rom it will be more able to cope with higher quality videos
thoughts?

If you can bear it without too much hassle, do a hard reset and see if the problem persists. It sounds like you could be on the right track, but I'm sure there's a lot of people who have done the camera tweaks. Maybe ask in the thread in question to see if anyone has noticed this problem.

gallery bloat

Hi if anyone can help me... Basically my gallery on stock no root s4 running 4.3 it showing a gallery data of 56G + that can't be right. Is there anyway to decrease it as its swallowing up all my memory. I have all my photos and vids on my memory card so no idea why its so large considering my stock mem is 16GB and the members card is 64GB I'll attach screen shot if poss.

You could try the below app to try and get an idea of what's taking up all the space, I find it a great visual help. Sometimes it can be a thumbnail folder that's hogging it.

[Q] Moto Camera - Save to SD Card?

I apologize for not researching this before posting - have a bunch of other stuff I'm doing.
But ran into some space issues.
What is everyone's favorite method for forcing the stock Moto Camera to save pics & vids to external SD Card? I couldn't find an option in the settings, so I'm assuming there is an Xposed mod out there for it.
Not sure what the best one for Marshmallow is though?
I'm on MM AOSP Dirty Unicorn ROM using the Moto Camera from Play Store (because I love the Moto camera interface).

Are you using adoptive storage? If so you will not get the option for a storage location as your device will tell apps that it has only internal storage.

My camera saves pics to my SD card. I use the Xposed module "Pictures2SD". Works like a champ.

It doesn't seem to be working for me.
I enabled this Xposed module and rebooted.
Took a few pics and videos.
But all were stored on the internal SD along with my old pics.
I searched the Pictures2SD thread but any mention of Moto is from 2013. lol

I just did it in the settings... With camera open swipe right from the left of the screen, this pulls out the settings. After that swipe up in the same circular fashion that the settings are placed till you see a sdcard, tap on the SD card and it will ask if you want your pictures saved to phone or sd card.

Yeah, yours is probably the stock one, not the one downloaded from Play Store. They both identify as the same though.

I know at some point I upgraded the camera from the Play Store. It may have been replaced with the latest MM stock odexed rom though. I checked in the camera settings and there is a setting to pick the SD card for saving pics. So maybe the Xposed module isn't doing anything.

Go to storage click sdcard and then click the 3dot menu top right and click migrate data, it will now save photos and videos to sdcard

It's a dirty workaround, not a solution. I would still like to achieve it some normal way. The same app had that option in stock Motorola ROM, even in the latest one. The app from Play store doesn't.

sony z2 in 2018.

any one will and still use his sony z2 in 2018 , and why ?

YES because it works perfectly fine and has the developer community support

of course, I actually just upgraded to it from Xperia SP, it has a great CPU, a decent GPU and it still has amazing support here on XDA, we are getting a stable Oreo soon, and I bet we will get android P as well. It even has a very stable MM stock ROM (6.0.1 is the most used android version as of today) the only downside for me is the front facing camera, which was a good choice back in 2014, but now it's definitely not a good selfie camera, I will keep using it I guess for at least a year (or two) before getting enough budget to buy a year flagship...

Yes
Of course because it works like charm even in 2018 and it has brilliant developers that keeps this phone alive with their support

SURE
Cuz power enough & live community

Sure man.I have Z2 for 3 years.Still can't find reason to exchange him for a new phone.Z2 is still fast,good quality photos(main camera) and We have there great developers that keeps this phone alive.

Yeah, cause my wife knocked my XZ out my hand and the screen shattered ?

My z2 got stolen last month. Just bought hTc U Ultra few days ago...

any way to root it without downgrade or use flash things ? like with a soft in my pc like i did with my dead LG G2 ?

tried KingRoot_pc_en but it says conect to internet I HAVE INTERNET !!

I have had mine since it came out. People are still amazed by it. Sure it has drawbacks but for what it was when it released it has aged extremely well. It's the best phone I have ever had for sure.

Me I have one I rooted it and unlocked bootloader and have existenz rom on marshmallow 6.0.1 and I have a 32gb external SD as internal storage so I have 48gb of free space for apps but 11for OS so its 37gb. And my camera is very good and my phone just blazing fast. Why do I need a new phone? This will be my beast for few next years. I may change it when I feel the need of it or just a big change in phone market happen.

how did you make external as internal storage ?

Easy but not very good. (*DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK*)First you need a rooted device second you need app2sd I found it on Google play. The one with a blue droid and an external SD image behind the blue droid. Anyways. I just made an adoptable partition of 25gbs because I can't make more than 95% of the SD card as internal. After that you need to reboot and next you need to repair it the same way you created it but this time select repair. NOTE: creating the partition will erase everything on your SD Card even if it was 1 gb partition. Anyways after repairing you can go to storage in your phone settings and tap on the internal storage partition of the SD card theb tap the options menu and migrate data and confirm it. And now you have more storage than normal but not 100% of what you have for example I have 25gbs from the SD and 16 from normal storage. But I don't really have 41gbs of usable space. But I'm sure that I'm using more than 20gb for my apps only. Anyways some apps may get fps drops or stutter you can move them manually to internal storage (not the partition) to get rid of any stutter in that app. It's not necessarily heavy apps that gets that stutter. For example I had a light game that has stutter and gta sa hasn't any of it.
Thanks, (*DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK*)
If you want to know where did I get that knowledge it started from rooting the device which was from Android doctor youtube channel and I asked him about that and he suggested me to try app2sd it may help and after i've tried it I could make it real that my external SD card works as internal without downgrading to Android 4.0 kikat just wanted to say thanks to him because he helped me in an important thing of mine. I can still type but you'll get bored, good bye my friend.

I used this guide to root stock .291 https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/recovery-root-mm-575-291-lb-t3435214
You will need to install flashtool on your PC but it's easy enough - the only issue in regards to that is you may have to "disable driver signature enforcement" to install the drivers depending on which version of Windows you're using. If you need any help just ask.
Right now I'm running latest eXistenZ ROM (had to do a fresh install from Stock as was having issues) with EliteKernel v3, kernel UV -50mV to reduce some heat and give better battery life.. Also some tweaks to make it more like my XZ which had stock Nougat - latest Xperia Home app + Serajr Xposed + DPI changed to 400. Finished off with Cyberian camera mod and Viper4Android and my Z2 is probably better than the XZ!

but mine its 6503 those are 66** ...

i thought it was a mod done by developers , any way i stay away from those apps , they may slow the device.

They do slow the device and those apps also contain annoying ads when you're in the app but if you have low storage you can use them to benefit of external sd cards with lots of storage. i think my problem is only with migrating data which makes everything primarily installed on the external sd which slows the phone because its acting like its holding the OS. Or its mainly slow down caused by the app.

Maximum micro SD port speed for this model?

I tried to use some micro sd cards I haven't used for a while, but when I switch my micro SD as internal storage the OS says: the speed is too low and my phone would become pretty slow. Before I to find some high speed micro SD card in amazon my question is this:
What's the maximum reading and writing speed the micro SD port in this port can handle?
Which micro SD card model should I buy as internal storage for this phone if the speed supported by the port is beyond 20 mbs/s while reading?
Thanks in advance.

Never use a SD card for running apps.
Use as a data drive only.
Use a V30 rated card from a reliable manufacturer.

Move the DCIM folder to the SD card.
Weed out the trash apps if any.
Find better coded freeware apps that use less memory.
Clear browser data as needed.
Clear any large caches as needed.
You need at least 1 gb of free space.
I have a S4+ that has 16gb internal memory so I know the feeling. Probably getting to be upgrade time.

I'm getting my second new 10+ N975U today.
One reason a searched high and low for a new one was a guarantee it be loaded with Pie not Q!
Twins. Hell yeah. I will see how fast I can load the new one up. Give SmartSwitch a test run.
With the way Android is going downhill with scope storage and bloating, Pie will remain viable for years to come unless you're into gaming perhaps. Older valuable apps that can't run right on Q and above will continue to be usable.
No gross security issues at all... I know as I've ran with this OS on some of the worst websites there are using Brave and Samsung browser. Various adblockers are running.
No malware has made it through in over a year in spite of its "security issues". There have been a over a dozen maybe two of app samplings that were uninstalled with no damaged.
I'm careful with bt and keep wifi disabled... other than that I use it without concern.
At 16 months old it's my longest running OS load ever. It's been heavily used.
Still fast and very stable... no need to reload it yet. That impresses me as well as the fact it continues to fullfill it's mission and remains 100% functional.
Upgrading it would only cause trouble and lots of lost time.

If your SOT has diminished greatly, replace the degraded Li before it fails.
If you get a newer phone don't get one running on Adroid 11, it's a dog.
Unfortunately the new 10+ was loaded on Android 10. That OS doesn't seem bad but caused me scramble to accommodate it. I should have seen that coming
