xperia tablet z Hw accelaration error

Spijker — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 12:35:05 GMT

I Recently bought this tablet for watching movies. Bsut when I start playing a movie, an error will occur

after 3-5 minutes. It says "hw accelaration error", and the movie stops playing.

I have restarted, set back factory settings and updated the software. Nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Kind regards,

Spijker

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

Could you please elaborate? Where do you watch movies? Is it from a webpage or from an application? If it's from an application, which application do you use?

I can try.
If you go to settings and click the "about tablet", scroll down to "build number". Put your finger on this and hold it until it says "You are now a developer"
In the settings menu you should now have gotten a option that says "Developer options".
In here there are plenty of setting options but the one you're looking for is probably "Disable HW overlays", try to cross this box and see if it works.
