About 20 seconds into recording a video the screen will look like its frozen. Then if I back out half the camera app and half the Home screen is showing..
It happened on stock rom and now also on Kumars rom.
It also seems to freeze every now and again watching youtube videos, but the video recording like everytime...
Any ideas?
I just noticed that after the OTA my video playback is not showing any picture, just sound. I've tried double twist, gallery, and vplayer to play a movie from the gallery to no avail. From within gallery does your video work? I've noticed that if i move the placement further along into the video the picture will show, but not from a dead start. Can anyone else check and let me know if theirs is working fine.
This only requires you to see a video from you gallery to reply.

I am having this issue as well and I have not gotten the OTA yet, before the video I shot would play fine now I just get the audio. I tried movies, rockplayer and vplayer and none work.
Edit: I powered off phone, removed battery, pulled out my sd card and then reinserted it worked and now I can watch my recordings again
Im getting the same issue. The videos will play fine at first but then issues come up mainly the blank screen. It will get fixed by rebooting the phone but then it will happen again later. The problem mainly happes when I'm watching a video then pause it for any reason or if I don't pause and back out, when I try to go back to see it again, the screen is blank with sound.never happened before the ota
I just did a simple reboot and it worked fine again.

i know a reboot fixes it but the problem comes back. watch if it happens to you again, remember what you did when it happened, do a reboot, then do what you did before, if nothing happens, then theres no problem, but if the screen goes blank again, then theres a problem.
at first i thought it was cause i was using rockplayer, but the default movies player would mess up also. but its interesting, because in rockplayer, is i choose software decoding, the video will play, but will lag badly. the sound will be way ahead of the video. but if i switch back to hardware decoding, it just plays sound with a blank screen.
I've got a strange issue with YouTube thats causing all video files on the phone to stop working (playing)
YouTube is working ok, but if I pause any video thats playing & let the screen time out (turn off) when I return back to the phone the youtube video doesnt 'unpause' & then youtube freezes. I get the 'Youtube isnt responding' dialog box & I can kill the application. The samething happens is I try to skip through the video using the slider at the bottom.
The really odd thing about this though is that after this freeze happens I cannot play ANY video on the phones (avi, mp4 etc) using MX Player or the normal player. I just get the 'waiting' circle. I need to restart the phone.
Anyone got any ideas whats going on?
Cheers.
It could be the ROM you're on.

Using stock ROM, 4.2.1
Happens to me too, but I'm not sure about other videos stopping working after youtube crashes. Usually have to reboot my phone to fix it. It also happens (always) when I'm playing a video from my data/wifi and then switch from data/wifi to wifi/data, if that makes sense?
Hopefully will be fixed soon.
Happens to me too on my stock N4, very annoying especially if I want to seek half way through a long video. Seems to be OK on wifi. It also happens if I try and play an HQ video over my data connection. So seems like there's no fix for this yet? Argh!
My nexus 4 has started to develop some issues. The most annoying one is the frequent failure of the camera to record video. I press red record button which registers the touch but no recording starts. It will work for a while after a reboot but always happens again.
When i try to use an alternative camera app to record video i get a message saying "oops video recording is not currently working on your device" so its not just the camera app playing up.
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it. Running stock and unrooted.
Edit: so playing about with this a bit more and ive discovered it only happens after i try to watch a video from the gallery. So i boot up my phone, record a video and its works ok. I can record videos fine. However if i go into the gallery and try to watch one of the videos playback fails. If i then go back to the camera and try and record a new video i get the issue as described above. BUT if i do the same thing but view the video outside of gallery (i used mx player) the video plays fine and the camera recording continues to work.
So it seems its an issue with gallery playback of the video. I have forced stopped the gallery, cleared data and cache but that didn't help.
my grandson just got this phone and whenever he tries to record a video the screen goes REALLLLY dark.. the videos made come out REALLY dark.. is this a bug a broken phone or anyone have any ideas??
