Galaxy S5 :: No Controls When Watching Video Or Movie
May 11, 2015
About a week ago my phone started having an issue with the video player. When I watch a video or movie, I lose all controls. I have to lock the screen and then unlock it real fast for the controls to pop up, but they go away within a second and I am back to no controls. I cleared the cache on the video player, force stopped it and rebooted it, the phone reboots on it's own all the time so that is taken care of. It is really annoying not even being able to change the screen brightness now.
Is there a good app to watch movies on my BB 8330? Free would be great! I hate stopping a movie and then having to start over and not being able to fast forward it. Can you fast fwd on the movie player that is installed on the BB?
Starting last week I noticed when I watch a video that my controls are gone when I have playback. I found out that the phone locks the controls away so I have to press the power button to unlock but my question is how do I turn off the lock all together. It's really starting to annoy me. And save the why don't you install a 3rd party comments.
When I was watching a movie yesterday I noticed how all dark colors have a kind of brown/orange tint over them. It doesn't look right. For example the "Tron Legacy Visual FX trailer", which is very dark for the most part, looks extremely brown... Compared to my TV/computer monitor/iPod touch it looks very bad.
i have an issue with my torch 9800 locking itself while im watching videos from the phone or on Internet. i have a password set on my phone and told it to lock itself after 1 minute but surely the phone should know im doing something that i need to see the screen for and not lock itself?is there a way to fix this without turning the password off or the auto lock time?
I purchased my AT&T branded Lumia 950 last Friday from the Microsoft Store. When watching videos triggered from both the browser (YouTube) and apps (i.e. Disney Jr) my phone will sporadically restart.
Is this an issue with the OS, or bad hardware so I know if I should exchange the device.
my husband has an iphone 4 and he records video of our daughter sometimes and emails them to me. I have problems watching them in the xperia x10. I can watch the videos but i can't hear the sound even when i turn up the volume.
I was recently watching a YouTube video in my room and suddenly my phone stopped the screen flicker'd 3 times and shut down, now it wont come back on even when i plug it into the charger...????!
So, how to get it working again? without taking it to the ATT store...? since it shutoff and won't come back on my Snap chat, Hot or not, Facebook, and all my numbers are basically Gone if this doesn't work
I was given my nokia lumia 800 as a Christmas present last year so I've had it 9 months now as up until this problem its been a great phone. Yesterday I went to watch a video and there was no sound, I checked the volume settings, made sure the volume was up to fall and I even reset my phone. If I put my ear the speaker I can just about hear it. If I make a phone call I can hear the other person fine but if I put them on loud speaker I can't so its the speaker on the bottom of the phone.
I am trying to find out which of the follwing uses the most data or if it is the same: Watching a sporting event on the app Watch ESPN on the phone or using the phone as a hot spot and viweing the event on my laptop?
Just been wondering about the stupid border around the screen when watching a YouTube video in landscape mode. It's the border with the 3 dots on the right which indicate home, back, and previous tasks button, and the top border with the time and everything.. It's annoying because it blocks some of the video of there something going on on the top or right side. Sometimes I can sail it away and it'll go away. Other times its stuck there..
Is there a specific setting to disable it, or a certain gesture?
when watching tv apps on my IPhone 4S it keeps going blurry streming fast enough but still blurry any ideas anyone or should i be sending it back its one direct from apple so unlocked but running on 3 .
I have an iPhone 4s and an apple id popup that asks me for my apple id password keeps popping up whenever I play a game, text, or watch a video. I've already tried logging out of and back into my apple id but it still pops up. What should I do?
ever since the 2.3.4. update i found my button hard buttons stay lit when watching videos. they used to time out after a min or two but now never time out. is this normal now and is there a way to shut them off when watching videos at night. it is annoying that they stay lit especially at night. i do not have the dx2 in a doc when watching the videos. just have it on wifi and watching cnet tv and Internet stuff.
i can't transfer a video i took from my iPhone to iPhoto on my macbook pro ... is it not possible? i do have cloud but i can't seem to work that one out either re the transfer my wifi is all on... as is my photo stream.. i was sure it could be done.. the photos go straight over.. but i cant see where the movie is.. if it IS there..
I rented my first movie from the android market today. I downloaded it to view offline. (I haven't had a chance to play the movie yet.) Have to charge up my phone. I was wondering were the file is stored. Neither the internal memory or SD card appear to have used up any space after the download. I know it downloaded, because my data counter widget indicates over 1.5 GB downloaded by the video app to view the movie. (I bought an extra SD card for the purpose of downloading movies so to not take up space.)
My Samsung Galaxy S5 keeps locking whilst I'm watching videos. It never used to do this but now all of a sudden once the lockout time is reached it locks me out mid video and I have to unlock my phone to resume watching.
I am unable to turn on remote controls (and reactivation lock for that matter),I can toggle it on, but as soon I leave and comeback to it, its on off again, I have tried turning on/off location, relogging into the Samsung account etc?
So on stock lollipop u can long press on music controls and fast forward and also it puts the album art as ur lock screen wallpaper, is there anyway to bring this back?
Easiest way to control music/podcast audio while driving and having another app open?
I like to listen to a podcast during my commute (using Podcast Addict for now), usually while Waze is the active app on the screen, but I've been having trouble pausing the playback or hitting fast forward (to go through commercials) while driving. Seems like the controls on the notification bar are too small and there is no skip ahead button there. Maybe I'm just getting used to my new phone, but I'm coming from a Windows Phone where it seemed a lot easier/safer to do.
Anything that can make the controls overlap the Waze app? Or make buttons larger and more useful after flicking on the notification bar?
I just switched from iPhone and on that had the capability to see spotify album art and controls in lock screen, can I do that on my s6 edge? Or suggest a lock screen that can. I don't like having notifications on for spotify because I don't need to be told everytime a song gets added to a payload but so far this is the only way to get controls on lockscreen and it's tiny. Was android always like this?
Ever since the latest update last weak the pause play button on my bluetooth headset and the pause play button on my earbuds have not worked on my Samsung Galaxy s5.
I have many apps frozen and I have tried unfreezing many of them one at a time to try and set multiple lock screen wallpapers but every time I hit Done after selecting the wallpapers, I get a message saying "App not installed".
If I only choose one wallpaper, I can change it just fine, but multiple wallpaper selection doesn't work. Which app controls the lock screen multiple wallpaper selection?
When I try to delete a 600 mb file with only 620 mb of space left, it fails to delete it, it literally says failed to delete file. I deleted the app, rebooted my phone, and nothing, it won go away no matter what I try! I have a galaxy s5 rooted so how to force a file to be deleted no matter what the system says about it? It's a movie file so it's not anything the phone needs to work properly.
I recently bought a movie on my computer and want to view it on my phone. I converted so that the file is compatible with my phone. How can I transfer the file so that I can view it in the Google Play Movies app, rather than the Samsung video app?
