A new Android version wouldn't be complete without its own Easter egg.

I am having the same problem with some differences on a brand new Galaxy 9. Not all of my photos are affected - some turn out fine. The affected ones are not always completely covered and are not always gray. They are various colors. Also the thumbnails of the affected photos are sometimes covered with a solid color or sometimes with what looks like a transparent colored filter. Only one of the photos comes up with the transparent covering when you open it but the rest are covered with a solid color. I tried to attach some samples of the affected photos but was unable to edit them - kept getting a "corrupted jpeg file" error. So I've attached screen shots.

When i tried to play the above video "test.mp4" it's having the same codec not support. Another thing is while i sent videos from my iphone (recorded) then also it's show the same codec issue.....

I'm not surprised that test.mp4 file is a problem, while h.264 has a really wide range of support, h.265 not as much. Playback involving h.265 is often software based so it'll be app-specific (the issue being default media players tend to focus more on basic support for most commonly used situations).

So is there any specification or combination of resolution and codec for samsung devices.....
/QUOTE]
I don't think the codecs being used are this particular issue. AAC and h.264 are almost generic at this point, and have been for several years. As for resolution, I tend to doubt that's an issue either since screen resolution and aspect ratios are such big variables. Most of the time whatever we're watching is being scaled up or down in accordance to the display at the time.
... and anecdotally, out of curiosity I just fired up a very dated but still kicking Galaxy S3 (KitKat) and that 'renderExportVideoNew 5' file was viewable using the MX Player Pro and the VLC apps, but the default video app just showed a blank screen with a very brief (two second) audio bleep. No clue as to whether this does or doesn't add any useful input but given how common those codecs are it just doesn't seem like either is directly related.

Not working case in general
Case 1 : Send video form my iPhone to Samsung device via firebase
Case 2 : Send Generated Video from my iPhone to Samsung device via firebase

So dose firebase change any format of video or codec or supported type to videos ? because in general i see that audio(s) are playing well

Looking up info online for Firebase, file transfers go through their online servers so it would highly unlikely there are scaling/file alterations involved when you're uploading or downloading on-the-fly. Again, it's the carriers taking it upon themselves to scaled down higher res photos and videos when they have to interact with other, when you're interacting with Firebase that's a different matter. Online file storage services like Firebase should not be altering any archiving/backing up as you use them. You can confirm this by simply checking the original file size of a file, to the file size of that same file uploaded to Firebase, and then to the file size of a downloaded copy of that same file -- the original file size should be bit-by-bit the same as the copy. (Use bit size as opposed to something like megabyte size, a really subtle change might not be noticeable using MBs but even a few changes in text will be more evidence using bits)

Odd that a security update apparently messed up something like voicemail. (A version upgrade maybe, but even that is more of an isolated issue) This probably won't solve your problem either but when a version upgrade that results in some kind of quirky behavior it's often recommended to wipe the system cache partition so you might want to try that. The system cache partition is separate from your data partition so this won't affect your data at all, even if it doesn't help it doesn't hurt to at least try. You need to restart your phone into its Recovery mode to wipe the system cache. This guide walks you through the process:

Good catch. Here's the play link to the app where you can see it is the same icon.

I replaced the battery, and now the phone is working fine. I replaced the battery with a spare I had because the battery in the phone was draining very quickly, so I knew it was worn out. I want to keep the phone for now because my uses are so basic.

Google search, Google maps, Gmail, etc. are all working fine now, but I am still getting the "Item not found" message when I try to install the new version of Youtube. When I tap the Youtube icon I get the message "A new version of Youtube is available. Install it now from Google Play". Then when I tap on "Install Now" I get the message "Item not found". I cleared the cache and data for the Google Play app, but I still get the message "Item not found" when I try to install Youtube.

I am trying to understand how the authenticator.requestpasswordauthenticaion() method works. This method is part of the class Authenticator. It says in the official documentation that "it asks the authenticator that has been registered with the system for a password".
What is this authenticator that has been registered with the system? and where is the password actually stored? Where does the method get the password from?

The U.S. carrier minority variants tend not to fair very well in other countries. For instance, the G900A would not be compatible with most, if not all, of the African 4G/LTE networks.

I would recommend skipping the Galaxy S5 phones in this day and age as they only sport 2GB of RAM and struggle with a lot of heavy usage. You might do better at looking at Huawei, Honor, OnePlus global models of phones with 4 or 6GB of RAM and say, dual, cameras. Since I am based in the U.K. I cannot say what the used phone market is like in the U.S.A. Here are some suggestions... https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8514&idPhone2=8416&idPhone3=8938#vtr-l29,usa,usa

@ironass you've been a great help.

probably the problems are.... usb port which is dirty.... the charger cable which is unsuitable for the device..... or the battery stats was error due to uncorrectly charging method. If this happend.. just calibrate your battery stats.

Oppo phones and Oppo chargers use a proprietary fast charging method they call "VOOC", and any other chargers will only charge Oppo phones at normal or slower rates.

No worries thanks for your replies!
I've only been using it for a year though which is so weird that the battery may be the problem. I was thinking about this possibility too.

But I dont think Oppo find x's battery can be replaced though?? SO SAD!! I really hope its not the battery problem.
Maybe I'll bring it to the shop but I'm not sure if they can check??
Google suggested factory reset (to see if its really the problem with the update) but I'm reluctant

I think it's worth trying a reset, in-case it is the Color OS update just made something go funky in the software.

Zedge does not seem to be the solution to my problem. It does not recognize the ringtones already on the phone, which are the ones I want to use. Rather, it wants me to choose from its own library. Not the mechanism I want to use.

marctronixx · Nov 20, 2019

the phone is not defective. i would not use any other 3rd party apps that take control of your notifications until you sort out the issue.

i will admit I dont use alexa's sound notifications but i do many other apps and they all have their own sound profile separate from the main "system sound". maybe what you are asking fro the alexa app is not possible in the latest build? you may want to reach out to amazon (there is a good subreddit r/amazondev but dont quote me on the exact spelling) and see if they have changed the app. you seem to know how to change the sound settings and I was able to change the sound settings for one particular routine , but i did not try other settings on that app. it may be just an issue with that app...
