[Q] HTML5 Video Playback/Seek Error [SOLVED]

For some reason, this problem doesn't seem to be addressed in this forum much so I'm posting again.
Using Chrome/Chrome Beta on Note 4, whenever I try to watch a video on HTML5, the video starts playing normally but when I try to drag & seek, it will pause for a second and say "Sorry, video Cannot be played" Does anyone have a solution for this? It is driving me nuts and I can't find a solution. Please [email protected]#$!#
Problem occurs during 4G/LTE usage. No problem when using wifi. (This doesn't make sense to me)
*just confirmed that my brother, who uses the same phone, has the same issue as well.

Alright people, I finally got it solved. So if anyone else has this problem, try this method.
SOLUTION:
1. Go to Settings>Application Manager>Chrome>Uninstall Updates
-----This process uninstalls all updates applied to any factory installed apps (Evernote, Chrome, etc.)
2. Go to Play Store>My Apps>Update All
3. Open Chrome
-----Settings>Content Settings>Website Settings
-----Erase all settings.
Try now and it should work without any problems. Hope this helps everyone else too!

S7 Edge Notification Delay and A Lot of Other Problems

Recently I am having notification delays with my S7 Edge G935F. I have read through some posts on this forum and other sources and can't figure it out.
Here are some of the problems:
1. notifications are often delayed for more than thirty minutes
2. if I want to manually check notification when it does not pop up, unlocking the screen does not make the notification show, I have to actually launch the specific app to see the notification
3. It is more than just not showing the notification, when I am using some instant messaging apps (like WeChat), I can't see new messages coming in while the app is running in the front. I have to press the home button and get back to home screen, then re-enter the app, then the messages show up. This happens to many other apps as well.
4. Other things go wrong as well. For example, my Android Auto was set to launch whenever I get into my car and car bluetooth is connected. It is also delayed, by more than hours. It often launches long after I finish my driving and get back home sitting on my couch.
5. Downloading new apps from Play Store has problems as well. It downloads to 100% and just stops there, it does not start installation. I have to use Settings->App to kill Play Store and re-open it to "refresh" it, then it starts to install.
6. After installation of new app, it does not show up on my screen or app draw inside my launcher. I can see the app installed in Play Store. I have to kill launcher and re-open the launcher to make it "refresh" the app list then I can see new app inside the app draw.
I have also tried a lot of ways to fix it:
1. change app to not battery optimized -> didn't fix it
2. update firmware -> didn't fix it
3. factory reset -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
4. flash to a different firmware (official ROM in different regions) -> works for the first day then it goes wrong again
5. use third-party ROM (Lineage OS) -> completely fix the problem, but too buggy to use
I can see the general idea of what's going wrong, some events happened (connected to car Bluetooth, new messages coming, app finished downloading, new app installed, etc.) and the system is not responding correctly. I am not very familiar with Android development but I feel like something is wrong with the "event handling" or "event raising" inside Samsung's Android system.
Please post reply if you have any idea or are facing the similar problems.
EDIT:
The phone is on Android 7.0, Build Number NRD90M.G935FXXU1DQER

You've stated that flashing the custom ROM solved the problem, so maybe you should try flashing a different rom that's a bit more stable.
From personal experience i can recommend the SuperStock rom. It's stock (obviously) and it's debloated and very stable with pretty good battery life as far as i remember.
there is some info about it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/want-to-root-custom-one-stay-stock-t3631098?styleid=18 (ignore the root part).

Hi,
did you find any solution to this problem ? cause i got the same problem, and i'm going crazy... few months already and can't figure out what is the problem...
the temporary fix i've found is disabling the "google app" in application manager... it fix the problem but i can't use any Google app features (and i like using them...).
I've found few ppl experiencing the same problem searching on internet but no one with a real fix...
if someone more experienced can help debut this it would really mean a lot...

I think it is the battery optimization setting. You may check the settings>battery>advanced settings>optimize apps. You need to keep the apps un-optimized if you want the notifications and sync.
Also, you may check if Sync is on or off.
If these two does not solve, factory reset if you are on stock ROM. If on a custom ROM, you may check a different ROM

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually none of this works... The only thing that "fixes" the issue is disabling the Google app in the application manager... That's why its so weird...
The problem started around July/August 2017 for me...
As i discovered that disabling Google was fixing the problem, i assumed that they'll correct it by updating the app... But only one update of the app was ok, all others would make the problems reappear...
Messing with battery optimization settings doesn't change anything for me... Factory reset as well... The problem comes back as soon as the google app gets updated...

Try clearing cache and deleting data from the Google app the time the problem occurs

already tried... doesn't help at all...

B07 MiFavor 5.0 Issues

Hi everyone. I've used for a while MiFavor 5.0 on my U device. But I have some issues. Maybe you have same ones and you find a solution..
1. Root Explorer is not working.
2. Fun Run 2 is not working. (It works after installed but it is not working anymore if you close from recent apps.)
3. Sliding is not smooth on Google+ & Twitter.

I've upgraded my Chinese Axon 7 to MiFavor5.0(A2017V2.0.0B08) And it has some bugs and glitches associating with google apps especially google play games, it doesn't sync and it is stuck on this page(see screenshot) .It also doesn't sync to Chrome. Another issue is that if you go to settings/google/sign in and security it gives this error(second screenshot).Please help if you know how to fix these issues. This update has really messed up my Axon7.(I have reset factory both before and after the update)

I don't experience your issues.. the only thing that bugs me is when I'm using VPNs. previously on B01, when I close the vpn app on the tasks, it also closes the vpn connection. But on B08 when I close the app, the vpn connection still remains.

Freezing when using any Google app?

I have been experiencing a very annoying issue with my moto g5+. Every time I enter the Google search app (swipe right on home screen, tap search bar, enter from recent menu, etc.) there is about a 5-10 second delay where the entire app will freeze. The app will become completely unresponsive, and after the 5-10 seconds everything I've been doing will happen all at once, like typing or scrolling.
This issue is very annoying, and perplexing to me as everything else with the phone is buttery smooth. If I initiate a search from Chrome instead of Google app, I have no issues. This issue has cropped up for me right around the time I downloaded the US OTA security patch, but this could be coincidental.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any ideas of how to fix it? So far, I have tried clearing cache in recovery menu with no avail. Phone is stock US non-Amazon without rooting or unlocked bootloader.

I have experienced the same issue. Same phone and rom. Are you using an SD card as adopted memory? I haven't yet tried removing mine to see if that could be a factor.

Same here. I had it a couple months ago and then something recently caused it to reappear. I thought maybe a system update had resolved this but it came back again this weekend. I don't have an SD card at all.
Most success I found from clearing cache+data from the Launcher3 system app then restarting the phone. Settings --> Apps --> Show System. You lose your app icon placement but it immediately sped up the Google app.

No notifications and other problems with my Nubia Z17

Hello. I recently bought the Nubia Z17, really really happy with it. But there is issues with it which I have tried to solve but haven't suceeded.
The biggest issue:
I do not get notifications constantly, just sometimes. Snapchat, Messenger and Facebook pops up when they want to, but its very rare. Gmail never pops up, and never syncs in the background. I have tried to fix this by changing the settings in the NeoSafe app, but it doesnt want to work.
An annoying issue:
Also, a problem that happens when the phone gets cold. It feels like its pressing the left button by it self, the ''open app-drawer'' pops upp all the time and when i press it down it pops up again. I live in Sweden, and its currently only -5 outside, and China have that weather too, so why is it a problem?
An issue which I can't understand:
Also, I sometimes having trouble downloading apps from Play Store, I have tried to solve this and it is mostly solved by removing cache from the app, but same thing keeps happing after a while.
Anyone got any tips or solutions? I think I have the chinese rom with google services installed. Works great overall, fast, smooth and nice screen. I would like to avoid flash another rom into it or restore it.
Thanks.

i got the same problem on my z17s.... i have to let the app opened in multitask to have the notification, lucky i have 6gb of ram....i tried with neosafe and app settings but still the same...

if you have your phone rooted you can convert the apps (WhatsApp ...) as Systemapp. I did it with LuckyPatcher. With Titaniumbackup works that too. But I have had problems that the app was gone.
Give it a try

Here the same problem with my Z17s ... also tried to enable the apps in the "performance mode" in the power management, also no luck for some apps (although whatsapp works fine).

more problems than you. keep auto reboot. .. thıs phone ıs builshitt. ı give ıt away to my 3 age son for broke ıt LOL. ı will never ever buy nubia ın my life . Lg and samsung ıs the best

same problem....
Hi, I also recently got my z17, I was very excited to finally have a "flagship" phone. I encounter the same problem. I have tried everything said here, but what I did kinda worked. So I did a factory reset. Once reset and log in in the google app 1st, and then the play store, I downloaded the apps, but before opening the apps for the 1st time I went directly into the permissions section in settings and allow just about everything, I did the power performance and the network performance, then I opened the apps and I went into the apps settings to allow notifications. Like I said, it kinda work. I don't get FB notifications as often, but I do get gmail.
I had thought that it was a restriction of background data, but apparently is not.
Now, I cannot sync my google calendar with my gmail account in the phone. When I download the app and I open it it has a [email protected] account...and that is not me, I cant change it or anything. Do you know how to fix it?

Check if you have Neo Safe or something named like that. It acts as a security manager for your device. Its also able to block notifications. I think I changed some settings there and then it started to work.
