Whenever I watch ANY video it will crash after roughly 30 mins of playback, the phone crashes completely and I need to force a restart by holding down the power button

I've tried using MX video player, Mobo player and the stock android one, The HW, SW and SW (Fast) decoders all have the same problem

Iv'e had this problem on all CM7 and CM9 builds that I've installed

I've tried clearing the main cache and the dalvik cache, doing a full factory reset and formatting the SD Card

Are other people experiencing this problem?

Thankyou

Sorry I can't help you, but I can only tell you I don't have the problem. I mainly play divx videos of that length though, if that makes any difference.

Try to use a different DVD to video Converting software like DVDFab, AnyDVD or Any DVD Cloner Platinum or Any Video Converter Freeware. Try to convert the DVD to video like MP4 with H.264 video codec, that is the mostly widely used video codec nowadays, which is suppportable by all portable devices or media players.

When you mentioned everything you wiped, you didn't mention the /system partition. This is not done with any other wipe and you have to do it manually from within recovery under the mounts and storage menu. Once you are done, reinstall CM and gapps. Hopefully this will fix your problem.

i'm having this problem to, and my instalation was, with the full wipes including system...

[dj_suca]

This is solved with full instalation of the rom..

Cm9 via odin
Gaps 20120417 is recomended
Wipe cache and dalvik
Reboot and then the nightly update

Tapatalking From The GT-2 Powered by ICS

In response to @bassmadrigal, would like to point at that the nightly updates appear to delete everything in /system for you. At least in update-cm-9-2012-0513-NIGHTLY-galaxys2-signed.zip. The updater-script has:

[...]
unmount("/system");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "0");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p9", "/system");
[...]

So there is no point reinstalling and manually deleting the system partition.

This would explain why the wiki doesn't include this step, it isn't required.

for my case it only solved like that..

i came from Ressuraction and getting this problems,,, but after all that..

First time installing CyanogenMod 9 to your Galaxy S II, or coming from another ROM:
- READ FAQs: http://teamhacksung.....sked_Questions
- Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)
- make sure you're running a proper working CWM like the one from CM7
- Copy GApps and CM9 ZIPs to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM9 zip
- Flash GApps zip
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your calendar sync will not work)
- Reboot

it solved.. :s

They have always performed a format of the /system, but the installer is also designed to carry over certain things (like gapps), and this is usually where problems will end up occurring. It doesn't happen all the time (in fact, it isn't all that common), but when strange problems arise, formatting /system is usually my first fallback, and more than half the time, it solves the problem.
