Hello xda!
I'm a new member and I thought you guys could know about the issues I have on my Z3 Compact.
After using my phone a little while, I decided to root it so I unlocked it's BL. Then I tried rooting but couldn't. Well I could root it but I didn't want Kit Kat so I used it without root but with UBL for a while. Then I decided to root it. I rooted it successfuly and now I am using Wajk's 5.1.1 Stock Slim Rom. Ever since unlocking my bootloader I'm having issues. I turn on my phone, use it for sometime, then I can't watch videos from YouTube app. It says "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry.". When YouTube stops working, I noticed that I also can't record videos with the camera and I can not play videos from the storage of my phone (any video). It says "Can't playback video". Only fix I found for this is I hold the Power Button + Vol. Up button to wipe dalvik cache. After that problem goes away. But still, after a while, it does the same thing. Any ideas what it might be?
Appreciate every effort from now...
Up Up!
Any answers?!
Try to find the dev and ask if there is an update if not find a new rom

Not entirely sure why you would unlock your bootloader to root your phone. Have you tried re-locking it with the backup you made of the TA partition? That might fix your problem.
Another solution suggested is to go to settings\apps > Youtube > Force stop & Wipe data. Then restart your phone into recovery and wipe cache.
Have you tried re-installing flash? There is a youtube video that claims to fix it.
Have you tried enabling Use AwsomePlayer in the developer options.?
The video not working on your camera is broken bootloader symptoms. There is supposed to be a flashable fix but I don't know if it works or not.

First of all thank you for your reply. I've tried everything that you stated and it seems to be a lollipop issue. I wanted to try custom ROMs and such that was the reason for me to unlock my bootloader, also I didn't know you could get root without unlocking BL, so I had done it without a backup or anything . But since I started using 6.0.1 the problem disappeared. Thank you for your kind efforts.

Hi All,
Running stock but rooted (with Xposed modules) 4.4.4 on Verizon Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. (Flashed this stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829123 )
Any time I try to do any activity with voice I get the error, "Can't reach google at the moment."
I get this error if I click the mic in google now and by clicking the voice text mic on the keyboard. Also, Touchless Controls doesn't respond.
After searching around forums I've tried some suggestions that worked with similar problems on other phones, but to no avail. I've tried:
- clearing data and cache of google search app and force stopping (lost my google now launcher set up in the process)
- removing my google account from the phone, rebooting to recovery, clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting and adding my account back
Thanks for any suggestions.
hi, had the same issue with one of the modules in xposed, ended up wipping the device and started fresh, installed xposed and gravity box, no other modules, all is good now.

Hmm, interesting...
I'm thinking it's not a specific Xposed module... I just tried uninstalling xposed framework altogether and then wiping cache and dalvik for good measure. No luck.
But out of curiousity, these are the modules I have installed: GravityBox, Exchange Bypass For Xposed, SingalIconsAOSP, Unicon. Besides GravityBox, did you have any of these installed when you had the issue?
I hope this doesn't come down to just wiping, which it most likely will.
My droid maxx has had the same problem since the update to 4,4,4 I have tried everything including a fdr ( through twrp ). Nothing has worked ! Moto has offered me a new phone but I don't want a new one as mine is unlocked and rooted ( otherwise stock ). I think I'm going to unroot it, put back in the stock recovery and try a fdr through that...POS !!!
This may not help at all....but maybe worth a shot. If you try and it doesn't help, post back here and let everyone know so nobody else tries it.
You might have some luck by erasing baseband cache with fastboot:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You might have to re-activate afterwards. It is the only suggestion that might be relevant that you haven't tried already...
Good Luck....that would be a frustrating issue... :good:
Unfortunately I gave up and just wiped and did another clean flash and its working again. It was very frustrating not having touch less controls or voice to text...
Thanks for the help though anyway.

I agree touch less control wasn't something I cared about when I got the phone. But after getting used to it its hard to go without.
When you say you wiped and flashed. Can you elaborate. I tried fxzing ( saving data ), 2 FDR's everything .. Did you unroot then use HOM ? I will try anything at this point . Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked so I was able to simply factory reset and reflash the stock 4.4.4 ROM from the thread I linked to in the OP...

I will try both methods and post back. Thanks for you help !
So I took both suggestions tried them 1st. I tried erasing the the baseband cache's via fastboot. No luck. 2nd I reflashed the current 4.4.4 stock rom via HOM, Full FXZ ( no data saved). !st off what a pain in the ass it is to reset up these phones from scratch. I setup my Google account but I didn't let Google reinstall all my previous apps and there data. I then went into settings and arranged things how I like them. Cleared off my home screens, put a few of the apps where I wanted them. I then went into the play store and allowed all apps ( preloaded ) to update. I then went back into settings and went to touchless control. To my surprise it worked ! I then went about loading all my apps.The usual 1's everyone has ie: Elixir2, FX filemanager,Poweramp, MX Player,Chromecast Panasonic tv remote 2, Google Wallet, UE Miniboom and Few other nondescript. Then I checked touchless control again and It was still working. Then I decided to install twrp and its recovery via fastboot ( 2.6.31 ) let it root the phone for me. Here's where it gets dicey.. It was late and I had had it with this friggin phone. I went and loaded all my apps that required root,Superuser pro, Dsploit, Busybox pro,Android terminal emulator, Wakelock(full) all the usual's. Then I went through and disabled all of the bloat. Rebooted and switched the phone to ART The following morning I went to show a friend how I had fixed my phone and It no longer worked ?
So I FXZ'd again not saving any data. Reinstalled twrp , rooted . Then 1 by 1 I reloaded every single app back into the phone and checked google now between every single install. Also this time I didn't let any of the bloatware update. I planned on disabling it anyways so why bother. I didn't install any apps that require root except twrp, busybox, Dsploit and #mirrorenabler . Also it's currently back on Dalvic. So as my phone sits now touchless control and all of its functions are working again. It's obviously a rouge app or ART Runtime that did this and I will narrow it down in the next few days and report back.
Hey guys, Idk why but recently my phone is going crazy
I first noticed this a few months ago, I was playing Injustice and it kept pausing. At that time my internal memory was 75% full, so I thought that might be the problem so later I uninstalled the app
But recently all my other games and video streaming apps(Twitch ,YouTube etc) keeps pausing, my Album app is bugged (though the Movies app works fine), camera force closes. Even my keyboard acts buggy sometimes. I tried formatting my phone memory, still no effect.
I think it could be a virus but I tried Clean Master (I guess this isn't a good choice) and it shows nothing is wrong
So do you think it's a virus? If it is, what should I do and if not, any particular solutions?
Thanks in advance guys and I hope I posted this thread in the proper section

If you're rooted, try clearing the cache and dalvik cache. Or maybe reinstall the ROM, that's what I usually do when my phone starts acting up. It's annoying, but worth it. What ROM are you on BTW?

Well Actually I'm using the stock 4.3 ROM and I haven't even rooted my phone
I tried rooting it, but couldn't unlock the bootloader
You don't need to unlock the bootloader to root Try TowelRoot. My advice is to do a fresh install with Flashtool, with a non-carrier specific ROM (no bloatware). When I was on eXistenZ Ultra, my phone slowed down after a few days. I think this happened on the stock ROM too, it might be a bug.

I tried TowelRoot, it shows that my phone is rooted but when I use other apps to check my root status like Root Checker or Titanium Backup it shows "The phone isn't rooted"
Damn, I suck at this
Did you flash a superuser app after rooting?
You can check root with the app 'root check' (appstore)

Maybe TowelRoot doesn't work properly on .207 (if you're on that firmware). Have you followed the instructions in this thread? You might have missed something - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783885
Hello everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active running the latest Android Lollipop. When I watch videos on the official Facebook app or YouTube via any browser, the videos are freezing after 20 sec but the audio keeps playing. I tried to play around with the GPU settings in the hidden developer section, but still no solution. Does anyone know how to solve this anoying problem? Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't lose any data, but the first boot after you do this will take significantly longer. Just make sure your battery is at least 50-60% before doing this, and just be patient for that first boot, it probably will take a decent while.
I cleaned the cache and the promblem is finally over now :thumbup:
What recovery have you got ?
Hi folks,
I have recently had an issue with the Moto G 2nd gen ONLY since yesterday with the Camera (Moto Camera app). I had been able to use the camera in the morning.
I tested with other apps which access the camera such as Instagram. Instagram could not start taking photo at all.
I don't know for what reason, the camera cannot start any longer. I tried to wipe the cache but it did not help at all. I am running standard Moto Android 5.0.2, with no custom firmware installed at all.
Does anyone know what is happening to my phone?
Thanks a lot for looking.
Try going to setings-->apps-->all, choose camera,delete cache,delete data,uninstall updates and stop the app. Reboot the device,try if camera app works. If yes install updates from playstore. If this doesn´t work boot the phone into recovery and delete cache partition. Maybe try first procedure again.If you are rooted you can try to uninstall camera via Titanium and install again.

Thanks for your suggestion :good:. I've done all of those steps. Even, I came to a point wipe all data and factory reset. No app installed rather than what comes with the phone. I still have the same error. Does it mean the camera has been physically broken?
Alright guys, I had to talk to Motorola Support about my case last week. After a long chat, I have it repaired under the warranty policy. I just received it back now. The camera was replaced due to hardware issue. Case closes here guys, thanks for the help so far.
This is what I get from the built-in camera app of my about one week old XP. Drives me nuts. I have defrosted all the bloatware I had freezed with Titanium, because I thought that may have been the reason. But it wasn't. I have tried with a third party camera app from Play Store, and that works without problems. So does the Snapchat camera. So it's nothing hardware, it's something that ties up the app. I have tried to reset the camera app, wipe data for the app and wipe dalvik and regular cache from TWRP. Any ideas what else I can do?
Could you find any solution?
Apart from using a third party app, not so far.
i have same problem
how to fix it? still waiting
I think it's the rooting with Magisk! I will see if I can find the developer. Have you two rooted?
Oh, it's not the rooting in itself, it must be Magisk. I have now rooted with SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip, and that worked as it should. No camera malfunctions.
I have reported it in the Magisk forum.
I have done a full repair using xperia companion and it still won't work. I believe Magisk is still installed, but I've already tried uninstalling it so how would I make sure?
Once you've unlocked the bootloader, it must be unlocked in order to use the stock camera app on an official ROM
use custom kernel to fix the problem

The problem is that the camera doesnt work with a RE-LOCKED bootloader , flashing a custom kernel is not possible with a LOCKED/RELOCKED bootloader.
