The built-in movie player for the Samsung Galaxy Y is only good for watching videos taken by its camera. If you want to view movies and videos downloaded or converted from DVD's, you will need to have a third party video player, which luckily is abundant into the Android market for free. At first I tried the Mobo Video Player which is so far very popular in terms of landing at the top of the heap when doing a search for video players in the Android market. Said app failed miserably in my Samsung Galaxy Y as it keeps on freezing and making me stop it using the task manager almost all of the time. I am just trying to play flv or flash files downloaded from youtube and it cannot play it decently without having to freeze first.
In my exasperation and disappointment with the Mobo Video Player, I downloaded the MX Video player and took it for a spin. Boy I was so surprised by the performance. It was so awesome. The MX player let me enjoyed the videos in a breeze without any hang-up. It was just so cool that I am highly recommending it to everyone who has a Samsung Galaxy device. I'm yet to try this with my Samsung Galaxy tab and I'll tell you guys how it performs with the Galaxy Y's bigger brother.
where do I get the MX player and how do I download to Galaxy Y? thanks

ReplyDeleteThanks for this post. I downloaded MX Video Player on my Samsung Galaxy Y and it played well where Mobo Player and Rock player wouldn't work. Video lags a bit from it audio but nothing that's irritating.
ReplyDeletewhy it says "there are no android phones associated for this account" when i'm trying to DL the player? i already connected my phones to PC using provided usb cable. it says "please sign -in with diffirent account".. sigh!

ReplyDeletehow to download movies using mx video player? Thanks and Godbless
ReplyDeletemx movie player is not for downloading movies. you can download an app from.the play store (formerly android market) specifically made for downloading movies for your android device. it's called "atorrent". it's free and you can download movies just like you do in a desktop computer. I use it and it's just amazing! :) I'll post a review of it later.
