Have you tryed to use VLC? Install it with this command:
Open a terminal by hitting CTRL + ALT + T
Insert and run this command:
sudo apt-get install vlc

Now start it and try to open 3gp and other videos

If that does not work, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats. If that doesn't work, try installing the w32codecs if you are using 32-bit Ubuntu or the w64codecs if you are using 64-bit Ubuntu (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu). If that doesn't work, then please post a reply telling us about what you have done and what has happened. In particular, you said you faced a lot of problems--in order for us to work on this further, we would need to know what those problems are.

Can you help with this problem?
