Camcorder problems

Has anybody had a problem with their videos recorded on their camcorders not playing back? It records the video but when I stop it, it stops responding and then I press the home button to exit it and try to play the video and it doesn't open.
I tried sending the video to my brothers n900 through bluetooth and it works but it stutters towards the end.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? The camcorder was working fine when I got the phone.

I tried to do a hard reset which seemed to fix it until I installed the hotfix from HTCs website. It is again not working. When I'm recording I notice that the picture stutters randomly and when I stop the camcorder settings stop responding and videos cannot be played back.
Can someone please let me know if there is a fix for this?

I just found out the cause to my problem. I'm on T-Mobile and as you may know that they don't have the youtube app pre-installed on the device. I manually installed the app myself and it turns out that this was causing my camcorder to not work properly.
This was probably the reason why T-Mobile took the youtube app off the phone. Has anybody else had this problem? It annoying now that I cannot use youtube.

Hello
I have the exact same problem, it seems that the youtube client is the culprit indeed.
Here is a somewhat of a solution, when you want to playback your videos use coreplayer.

That is really useless.... rather than fix the problem T-Mobile just strip out YouTube... one of the key apps...
I also have had problems with video but had not realised that the Youtube client was the cause. Recording seems fine but as has been mention playback is necessary using for example Coreplayer... not ideal but at least it is an option.

Performance issues on Moto X Style

I have been using a Moto X Style (also known as Moto X Pure Edition in the US) for a couple of weeks now. I have been using it since it got the Marshmallow update and don't know much about how it was before on Lollipop.
I have noticed some performance issues with the device. The first one is more easily noticeable. Scrolling is just isn't great in many apps, such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. You'd think a powerful phone like this would scroll smoothly, but it just doesn't and many older phones such as the Nexus 5 seem to do a better job in comparison.
Second one is a bit more odd. If you have a recent Motorola device and have watched YouTube videos on it, you'd know a sort of filter kicks in a couple of seconds after you make the video full screen. The same thing happens on this phone as well, but when it does the video freezes and only the audio keeps playing. This doesn't happen on all videos and only happens at 1440p resolution, but I can reproduce it easily with multiple videos (like the latest MKBHD video on YouTube gear, for example).
I personally find the filter kicking in annoying enough as it is, because it tends to use dynamic contrast nonsense to adjust the display brightness according to the screen contents in the video but if that wasn't bad enough it is now causing the video to freeze every time it kicks in.
Anybody else noticing these issues on their device?

I also had the scrolling issue.
Im on 6.0, too.
Yesterday, I made a factory reset and this problem had gone away.

I just noticed that exact same issue also only in 1440p and also watching a MKBHD video and it just gets stuck while the audio keeps going, I tried force closing the app, clearing cache and app data and also disable all xposed modules to do with youtube (Youtube background audio playback module and no ads module enabled) it still didn't fix the issue after reboot.
Any ideas?
Also noticed since marshmallow that Shazam and Soundhound both can't hear any sound via microphone to identify songs playing.

Marshmallow definitely broke the Truecaller app for me. Not sure about Shazam and SoundHound.

Problem with Videos

Hi everyone,
I have a weird problem with my S8, indeed everytime I try to read a video with the Netflix's Amazon's video app, my phone kind of struggle and then only display black screen with only sound and then when I touch the screen he crash and the only way to make it work again is lock the screen and then unlock the phone. It works normally with Youtube. But I also noticed the problem with Molotov TV app which is a french TV app.
Anyone would have an explanation?
Thanks in advance.

Does this do the same with Google movies?
I had loading app issues with Netflix and Amazon video, plus Google movies won't load but wouldn't play movies. Like you YouTube worked fine. Only thing which fixed it was too restart the phone.
Had conversation with Samsung and everything they suggested didn't work. I eventually did a hard reset which fixed the issue. The only thing different since the reset I've done is not turn on video enhancer back on. I'm sure that might be the issue.

Nope it doesn't, guess I'll have to do 1 reset then ?.
Thank you?
Edit: it worked!

Netflix Issue with MirrorShare

Hello, i'm trying to watch Netflix from my MLA-L11 EMUI5 to an LG smart TV. Everything works fine until the movie starts, and i get only audio, subs, but no video at all. That happens with every movie/tvshow on Netflix, but, for example, i can normally watch a YouTube video with no problems.
I've googled and in Nflix support page they assume you have colour correction on, or eye protection etc.
But that's not my case. Hints?
Merry Christmas

terrible screencast quality - screen casting not optimised for this device error -

I have Chromecast set up on my Sony TV. I regularly cast screen from my Moto x, picture quality is superb.
On my new 6t, upon connection of the screen casting, I get a toast that says "screen casting not optimized for this device.". . I can see my phone screen on the TV but it looks very pixelated and just general awful quality - nowhere near acceptable.
Has anyone else had this issue and if not, what method do you use for screen casting? My TV also supports Miracast which is screen mirroring(the 'enable wireless display' option under cast menu) and that fails to connect whatsoever with this device (6t).
Any input would be much appreciated, thank you
&Mod please move to q&a if you can. Accidentally posted in wrong section

I don't have any issues and I cast everything. I have a TMO 6t and I don't have regular cable. It could be an issue with your app? Have you been tied uninstalling and reinstalling? Make sure you are using the official Google app for screen mirroring. It works a lot better than other apps out there

I'm not using an app .I'm using the cast option under connection settings..

Yeah. This is something that has been bugging me since I noticed it a week or so ago. I have a Vizio 4k TV with a Chromecast built in. When I cast the screen of my 6t using the Cast button in Quick Settings, my TV reports it's only receiving a 720p signal. If I cast from YouTube Vanced, Netflix, HBO Go, the TV will report 1080p. If I cast a game from the NHL or MLB app those too are only 720p, although they do appear to be higher quality. However what bugs me the most is when I try to view photos or video taken with the phone's camera. I took some video at 1080p/60fps and when I cast it to the TV using Google Photos it will only cast at 720p and the video looks horrible. Same with pictures.
I tried VLC and it would cast in 1080p but 60fps video was really choppy. Also, if the video is recorded in portrait, it's rotated to landscape on the tv.
I tried AllCast and it cast in 1080p and was smooth with 60fps video. However, it doesn't handle videos in portrait properly either.
Any recommendations for an app that can handle casting local files at it's full resolution that also handles portrait video properly?

I tried it after seeing you having problems, but it works fine for me. It's not as smooth as regular casting (as in streaming via Chromecast, rather than screen mirroring) but there's not much in it. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, so I was pleasantly surprised.

Hmm interesting..well thank you for the input

My new Oneplus 8pro China 11In2020 build has problem too. Cast quality very poor. What to do? My recent Poco F1 was top notch with little delay. But 8 pro, I did not expect.
