Bug in native video player: turns off (disables) the screen

Using Android 4.3 on an eXcite Write. I don't remember if this was an issue with the original Androind 4.2.1, I do know that the problem is not present on my old Asus TF700T which has 4.2.1.
Description: When playing a video with an application that uses the native (Android) video player, for instance Toshiba's own Media Player, when the video has a section with a black screen, the tablet screen is turned off, including sensing. Audio keeps playing, the only thing you can do is turn off the tablet.
This happens only once after boot, its repeatable (as long as the sequence is the same: boot, play, dark section, it doesn't matter when that section is).
I've reproduced this problem with Media Player, Plex (when it uses the native player, which is not always), and BS Player.
This is a bug report, not a question or asking for support (I don't see the point of calling for something that will no be changed, but if required, I can provide the log). If there is an Android upgrade, I hope this bug is corrected.

Thank you for the information. I'll report it. I don't know that I'll have more information about it, but I'll certainly tell the engineers.

My mac wont turn on. It is charging and the on light is on when the computer is shut but once I open it the light turns off and the screen is black. I turn it off and then on again and the start up noise goes but it is still black - Help!?

Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

I've tried that. It doesn't work. The only thing that happens is the apple comes up. I've tried holding the home as I'm plugging it in and keeping it held for a few minutes, but nothing happens. My iTunes doesn't even read that it's connected.

How do I make my iPad turn off when the screen is covered?

My old iPad would turn off when I closed the cover but I cannot find how to make the iPad air turnoff in a similar fashion?

Yes it is a proper cover
If it is an APPLE COVER, perhaps it's not the one for that model. But, if it's not an Apple cover, then maybe the manufacturer hasn't set up the magnets the way they are supposed to be.
I'm going to quote from another post elsewhere ...
Are you using a genuine Apple cover or another third party cover?
It's the magnets in the cover which activate the lock/unlock feature to appear in your settings. In earlier iPads you could slide a magnet down the side of the iPad to find where the magnet activates and turn the feature on.....Apple have now changed how this works with the iPad Air. Whereas before there was only 1 magnet positioned in the cover for earlier iPads, it is now thought there are 2 with alternating polarity.
So if you want this feature you will need to buy an Apple cover or wait for third party manufacturers to get their magnets in the correct position.
If you do have a genuine Apple cover then there is something going wrong here....

HT4993 Since i downloaded the 7 my phone turns off randomly, the screen freezes and it closes apps randomly

Since downloading the ios7 my phone will freeze or just randomly turn off or an app i'm working in will randomly close. Anyone else having these problems?

I would restore your device. Preferably with Itunes through a computer if you can. If not then settings>General>Reset>erase all content and settings. Save a backup if you need to through Icloud. That should clear up any software related issues.

Help, my ipad wont turn off and the screen is blank with the circle that goes around and around. Should i let the battery die? Was I hacked?

Help! My ipad wont turn off and wont open a screen. Just blank with the circle going round and around. was I hacked? Should I let the battery die? I am lame at this stuff.

Have you tried holding down the power and the home buttons until the slider bar shows up to shut down the iPad?

How can I turn off "Find My IPhone" when the phone won't turn off but the screen doesn't work?

My IPhone has water damage so the screen has stopped working, even though the phone is still on. I need to restore the phone to send it back to the company, however when I try to restore it on the computer, it prompts that I need to turn of "Find My IPhone" in order to restore the phone. How can I do this on the computer with out use of the IPhone??

You can't.

Does wifi turns off when the screen is locked?

I just wonder if it does. I want to know cause I want to save some battery life.
If it doesn't is there a way on the setting to turn that feature on?

HI. WI-FI is still on when the screen is locked. Unfortunately there is no such feature. You may find all info about WI-FI settings hereiOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support
You may also find some useful info here:https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

My phone will not turn off and the screen is frozen

???

No I mean don't use the "Slide to Power Off", just hold down the Home and Lock buttons until the screen goes black.
That does work if your device is frozen, unlike Slide to Power Off.

Raise your hand if you want better Native Video Player support on iPhone!

Please submit a bug/enhancement report to Apple if you would like them to remove the restriction on iPhone's ability to playback native video inline (as opposed to ALWAYS going fullscreen). This is handy for a number of application:
1. Using actionscript and stageWebView, you can control the native video player by issuing javascript calls to content embedded in an html page. (see http://www.yeahbutisitflash.com/?p=3968 for a good tutuorial)
Likewise, you can have your movie react to events happening in the native video player (time index, finished playing, etc.) by doing the reverse (again, http://www.yeahbutisitflash.com/?p=3996 is a great read for how to get started doing this)
2. You can allow the user to send video content to an Apple TV (or maybe a future iTV?) without releasing app functionality. ie: the user doesn't get locked into a full-screen state on his or her device.
The ONLY reason AIR lacks interactivity with the native player on iOS is because the Obj-C UIwebview webview.allowsInlineMediaPlayback property is set to "NO" by default on the iPhone (it is set to "YES" on the iPad and everything I described above works beautifully!)
From what I gather, in Xcode, you simply set this UIwebview propterty to "yes" along with adding "webkit-playsinline" to the html video tag in order to permit an app to play back video inline on the iPhone. I suggested to Apple they remove the restriction, perhaps requiring the html tag alone for inline playback.
If you agree that AIR should have improved native video handling, please submit a bug/enhancement report to Apple bugreport.apple.com Having this "restriction" lifted will ensure we can produce quality Universal media apps with identical functionality on both iPad and iPhone platforms.
Thanks for reading!

What's an ECR?
I filed a bug report with Apple. I guess I'm satisfied with the response (is all I can say due to standard NDA) But from what I've read elsewhere on the 'net, the more reports that come in regarding an issue, the more it gets escalated.
Do you have an iPad example demonstrating these capabilities? The StageWebView videos players I've seen always had limited control over the video.
I have an app in development with these capabilities fully functional and very stable. Unfortunately, javascript control of native video in a stageWebView is hobbled on the iPhone due to the restriction I describe above. Specifically, the functions all work except for the vid.play() js command, which will always trigger a full-screen playback. Poop. I guess I will go for an iPad-only soft launch and put the iPhone/universal version on the back burner.

"Your video is turned off" on Skype for Mac

Recently, my iMac is displaying "Your video is turned off" when I try to videoconference with some other Skype users. I have Skype 6.3 installed. My wife is overseas for 6 months, and she is using a MacBook with Skype 2.8 installed. She refuses for personal reasons to upgrade to another version. Video doesn't work between us. Has the source of this problem been isolated yet, and is anyone trying to fix it?

I have contacted Skype through several channels, and visited lots of online forums. The Skype rep I chatted with seemed little aware of this problem, and gave me several useless fixes. Some of what I read led me to believe that this problem is more difficult to deal with if you are using more recent Macs with the newest OS's. So, I was trying to find out if the problem is all Skype's, or also some part Apple's. Most of what I read online also was of the opinion that Microsoft was not making any effort to fix it (if it can be fixed). I have an open mind on that issue, but I would like to know more precisely what is going on.
Thanks for your suggestion, though.

Android player freezes native video player

On using some Android apps on my PlayBook, such as download managers and TubeMate, the finishing or starting of a download will freeze the native video player. Once this happens, the only way to salvage the situation is to switch to the Android app and then switch back to the video player without hitting any player controls. If the video app is closed or paused, the media service hangs and nothing can be played until the PlayBook is restarted.
Is there a way to keep this from happening or restart the media service without restarting the PlayBook?

I'm having problem with my iphone4S first when i updated software to 7.1 after a month or so wifi turned grayed, second when i tried to turn off in the night as soon as i turn it on battery empty now its totaly dead. What should i do with it?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Any way to turn off only the parallax effect while enabling the home screen/folders zoom in/out animations?

I've just updated to iOS 7.1 and I had thought that there might be an option to turn off only the parallax effect while keeping all the home screen animations (the zooming effects) effective?? Is there a way to do that, or are the parallax effect and the animations come together under the "Reduce Motion" option?

Now I'm enjoying the zooming effects(animations) while at the same time, extending the battery life to some extent by doing some little settings! Thanks to the valuable answer provided by Ralph (see above).
The procedure is:
Settings > Wallpapers and brightness > either choose a new wallpaper or tap one of your existing wallpapers > you can then turn on or off Perspective Zoom > tap Set
(If you turn Perspective Zoom OFF, you won't be getting the parallax effect or vice versa)
And after you complete the above steps successfully, you can say Goodbye to the useless (to me lol) and battery hungry parallax effect and enjoy the zooming (pretty amazing thing which looks good while working) at the same time!!!
But even after doing that, you can notice some parallax effect left over in the home screen, but I think that's normal (Or maybe even a bug lol). And the best part about that new option introduced in iOS 7.1 is, you can choose where you want the parallax effect to work (I mean you can either experience parallax effect in the lock screen or in the homescreen or both) It's your wish, buyt while doing the above steps, turn "OFF" the Reduce Motion in Settings>General>Accessibility>Reduce Motion>OFF
Try it @GetVladimir.com !!!

Paneesh.

Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs are turned off and the settings shuffle is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?
