HTC EVO 4G : Way To Get Working Video MMS?
Jul 19, 2010
Is there a trick to sending a video MMS? Nobody I send them to receives them for some reason. I don't get any error messages or anything, but they never receive the message.
I haven't got any for a while either. Not sure if I have missed any or if nobody has tried to send me any. Anyway, what do I have to do to get working video MMS?

When I click on the camera or video Icon. It goes to load it to where you see the black screen with the white camera and then quickly goes back to the home screen.

I have tried 1.5 video API. I could not make it work. It even can't do preview. Following is my code:
private boolean initializeVideo() { Log.v(TAG, "initializeVideo");
if(Common.mRecordedVideo!=null && Common.mRecordedVideo.exists ()) Common.mRecordedVideo.delete();
File sDir = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
String baseDir = sDir + Common.BASE_DIR;
File sampleDir=new File(baseDir);
if(!sampleDir.canWrite()) // Workaround for broken sdcard support on the device.
sampleDir = new File("/sdcard/sdcard");
try { Common.mRecordedVideo = File.createTempFile(PREFIX, EXTENSION, sampleDir);
} catch(IOException e) { AlertDialog.Builder ab = new AlertDialog.Builder (VideoRecord.this);
ab.setTitle("Error"); ab.setMessage(" can't write audio data to storage");
ab.setIcon(R.drawable.error); ab.setNeutralButton("Close", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener()
{ public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) { } } );
ab.show(); return false;
} Intent intent = getIntent(); releaseMediaRecorder();
if (mSurfaceHolder == null) { Log.v(TAG, "SurfaceHolder is null");
return false; } mMediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mMediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoSource (MediaRecorder.VideoSource.CAMERA);
mMediaRecorder.setOutputFormat (MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.THREE_GPP);
mMediaRecorder.setMaxDuration(MAX_RECORDING_DURATION_MS);
mMediaRecorder.setOutputFile (Common.mRecordedVideo.getAbsolutePath());
// Use the same frame rate for both, since internally
// if the frame rate is too large, it can cause camera to become
// unstable. We need to fix the MediaRecorder to disable the support
// of setting frame rate for now.
mMediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate(20);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoSize(352,288);
mMediaRecorder.setVideoEncoder (MediaRecorder.VideoEncoder.H263);
mMediaRecorder.setPreviewDisplay(mSurfaceHolder.getSurface());
try { mMediaRecorder.prepare();
} catch (IOException exception) { Log.e(TAG, "prepare failed for " );
releaseMediaRecorder(); // TODO: add more exception handling logic here
return false; } mMediaRecorderRecording = false;
return true; } private void startVideoRecording() {
Log.v(TAG, "startVideoRecording"); if (!mMediaRecorderRecording) {
// Check mMediaRecorder to see whether it is initialized or not.
if (mMediaRecorder == null && initializeVideo() == false ) {
Log.e(TAG, "Initialize video (MediaRecorder) failed."); return;
} try { mMediaRecorder.setOnErrorListener(this);
mMediaRecorder.setOnInfoListener(this);
mMediaRecorder.start();
// Recording is now started } catch (RuntimeException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Could not start media recorder. ", e); return;
} mMediaRecorderRecording = true;
mRecordingStartTime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
updateRecordingIndicator(true);
mRecordingTimeView.setText("");
mRecordingTimeView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(UPDATE_RECORD_TIME);
setScreenTimeoutInfinite();
} }

Im having an issue sending a video on my incredible. i dont understand whats going on and i dont think im doing something wrong but who knows...
I went into camcorder, changed everything to defult. i changed the resolution to the 640 and was able to send up two a 2 second video. then i went to the lowest resolution which was like 320 or whatever and was able to send up to a 5 second video. thats about it... i sat on the phone with verizon maybe...2 hours? THEY could not figure it out. they said they has to borrow another verizon enployee's phone to mess with it and she kept getting the same issue saying the file is two large. its set for 30 seconds, then 20 seconds, 15, 10, all of them will not work over 5 seconds of a video to send. they said they dont understand why there is nothing in the settings saying switch to mms or sms or something and contacting someone to update that asap because it made no sence to them. i dont understand this and its getting annoying.
So then, i tried downloading some app called youcast or whatever, and it kind of worked. it says it bypasses the size limit or whatever. i sent a video to my friend and it says he got it, but needs to download the app first to view it. im waiting to hear from him if he downloads it and is able to view it. but that still sucks because what if you dont have an android? then youcast wont work.
And not only is this issue with me, but 6 of my friends with the htc incredible are not able to send videos either after they messed around with it all.
So my questions are...
Is there any other apps out there like youcast that might work or be better too?
My settings right now on camcorder are...
white balance: auto
resolution: QVGA(320x240) and i tried switching around between that all the way to 720p(1280x720)
storagehone storage and i have switched to storage card
encoding type MPEG4
Recording Limit: 30 seconds. again i tried all other settings.

I have been having some issues with the Qik app. It has worked then stopped. I uninstalled it, then re-installed it. Sometimes it just loads the camcorder app, not the qik app, which is really odd. I figure it is built using the camcorder api but still very odd.
The customer service from qik has been poor as well.

When others send me a MMS video the video does not play. It shows up as a still image with no audio. I tried taking a existing vidio that I took from the phone and sent it to myself. It did the same thing? When I go to save the MMS it says there is a .jpg file and a .qcp (audio) file?
Does anyone know what is going on any why I cant view MMS videos?
I am using Handset SMS. When I go to the MMS program that came installed it is doing the same thing?

My phone's video isn't working properly, no matter which player I use. It was working fine, and at first, asking which player I would like to use for the playback. That has since stopped. The video seems to take longer to load and will play for around ten seconds, then stop for a while, then play for another few seconds.Should I do a default reset?

after updating (the official update) my HTC Desire to Froyo 2.2 I cannot capture any Video (any resolution). It happens that I press the trackball and the timer (on the upper-right corner) disappears and nothing works anymore (menu, etc...), only the Home button allow me to go back to the home panel. After doing that, the battery die in a few minutes and the phone is very slow: i.e. some video camera service is still up and running and consuming battery.

When trying to do 720p recording the camera freezes, turns black and requires a battery removal. I got about 3 seconds of 720p recording but even when I go in to view the video it freezes or lags severely to the point I need to remove the battery.

I have Skyraider 2.5.2, and my whenever I try to record video, my phone reboots. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I was told I need to update my radio. So for 2.15, I need to do unprovoked Forever. How do you do any of the other 2.xx radio updates. I remember something about unrooting your phone or something, but I can't find it anymore.

i don't record video very often, so i just noticed this problem after having my droid for almost a month. does anyone else experience this? it's a little difficult to explain, but it seems like the automatic brightness of the video recorder is not working correctly. in low light scenarios, instead of the video getting brighter so you can see more, it actually gets DIMMER. i can tell this because i set up a scenario where half the room is regular light and half is low light.
things look fine in the regular light. additionally, things look fine when i have both sides of the room in the picture, and i can tell the droid adjusts a little because the the picture will get brighter, causing the regular light side to be very bright but the low light side to be visible (that's the expected behavior). then, when i pan to the low light side, i see the camera make a brightness adjustment again, but it gets dimmer rather than brighter, making it almost impossible to see anything. the screen basically turns black. i'm sure this is not how it's supposed to work, but what i'm wondering is whether i have a faulty unit and should exchange or whether everyone has this issue. did anyone understand this post?

My YouTube app isn't working, when I click on the video that I want to watch it gives me an error message stating that the video cannot be played. I've searched on the forum and other models have reported similar problems, but as far as I can see this hasn't been discussed specifically for the tattoo

I have taken videos with the Droid in the past, but the past few days, as soon as i toggle the camera switch UP to capture a video, it gives me a force close screen. i have restarted the phone a few times, but same thing..
also, sometimes the camera button does nothing when trying to use it to bring up camera , i have to manually go to drop down list of apps to get to it. not a HUGE problem, but still a problem when it doesn't do what its made to do.

Note 10.1 (N8020).
Allshare video playback from other devices over wifi just stopped working. It was totally fine and I have absolutely no idea what happened. It still plays music and shows photos and all the files stored on external devices. The only problem is that it won't play video. It plays video stored locally or on sd card just fine, but when I want to play anything from my note 2 (n7105) or my pc's allshare app, video player shows error message: "Cannot play video. This video cannot be played".
It plays the same files just fine, when I copy them to the device, so I think it might be the case of some transcoding error. It is not a case of network settings - I've checked on 4 different wifi networks and it's the same everywhere. My note 2 works just fine on any wifi and plays all video from tablet or pc. Here is what I tried so far, with no results:
1. Restoring to factory defaults,
2. Wiping cache and dalvik cache,
3. Flashing fresh stock rom,
4. Erasing all allshare apps and video player data
N8020 & N7105 (JB 4.1.2 rooted + stock)

I'm using the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 on 4.2.2 with Nova Launcher and just recently after disabling apps, etc. my Video player app no longer opens. I press it and it freezes for 15 seconds and says unfortunately it has stopped working. On top of that every time I delete a contact, it deletes the contact but gives me a message like "android.process.acore" had stopped working and exits the contacts app.
I've tried enabling any potential function that I may have disabled to have that issue and no luck. I also cleared cache and data of the contacts list and contacts storage but no luck. I honestly do not want to format data as I have already done it 3 times prior to this issue and it is tedious. EDIT: Fixed video player by enabling picasa uploader and cloud Agent. Still no luck with the error message after deleting contact.

I am using the Alcatel OT-918d (stock rom, root access enabled) and while playing videos in the browser, I do not get an action prompt to choose from the available video players and browser plays the video using "default video player".
The so called "default video player" has been uninstalled though. Have cleared cache, clear defaults, clear data for the browser but still do not get a prompt to choose a video player while playing videos from the browser.
Also installed the "Default App Manager" to check for the default video player. However, it indicates no defaults to play any videos (either from file or streaming videos).
(If I play a stored video from phone or SD card, I do get the prompt to choose a video player. But do not get a prompt if playing any video in the browser.)

I am trying to develop an android application which will be able to record a video and send it in real time to a remote computer. The computer then will play it live. I have managed to establish a connection between the android and the computer, and to record a video on the android phone. My problem is, how will I be able to send this video to the computer? Does anyone have an idea?

I've only had my EVO for 4 days now but I can't open any videos sent to me via messaging. My husband has an Instict and sent me a 20 second video of our daughter and when I tried to open it, I got a photo that said "Video too large to view on this device". The video is not that large so I'm not sure what's up.Is there anyone else that is having this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? We send videos of our kids all the time and I hate to think that I can't do that with a "state of the art" phone.
