My YouTube app is behaving horribly. When I try to search and watch something it plays a random video...Most notably its been playing like lil Wayne videos instead of something like a video from machinima.
Is mine a defect?
Noticed that with the display model too. Nexus S sitting next to it when both pushed at same time took like .5 sec for Nexus S and 7 or 8 sec for the 3D...same once list loaded, selected the same video at same time and it was about 10 sec behind the Nexus S, and yes both were running on 3G mode not 4G. Needless to say I didnt buy one today even though I drove 60 miles round trip to do so
Did u do the ota I haven't had that issue been having fun on YouTube and the net haven't done the ota update yet.
I did a reboot and it seems to be working fine. This time though I am on WiFi instead of 3g.
clear data in app manager.

Yeah, I updated whatever HTC gave me.
Seems to be a problem with being on 3G. The same videos loaded up fine and played the video I wanted in WiFi, while if I was on 3G, it loaded for a while and then played a random video completely irrelevant to the one I chosen.
Argh. Anyone know Bestbuy's exchange policy?
Similar issue here. I went to market and searched for youtube. It did not show as installed so I installed youtube from the market (even though it was on the phone obviously) and everything works fine now. BTW...I had the problem after the OTA. Didn't check before.
I tried that and it still does not work properly..
It's perfect on WiFi while it plays a random video over 3G..

The new update broke YouTube again for me. The issue I am having is constant buffering on the YouTube app while using the "hd " setting. Right now I am on .13, before I was on .11 and still had that issue. When I upgraded to .11.1 it fixed the YouTube buffering issue and now that I am on .13 I have that issue again . Gary can this please be addressed.
I can't have the upgrade yet (ww version here .11) and youtube was broken too. Yesterday, Youtube gave me an error every time I opened it. Today, youtube works but slowly, very slowly.
My tf201 is not upgraded so it is not upgrade's fault.
Please, use the search engine before posting
It seemed like on ".11.1" they fixed youtube, not on .11. Now on .13 it seems like youtube is broken again. Also I ran a speed test and i am getting worse speed with .13 then i was using .11.1. I have a 40M connection down. On .11.1 i was getting around 5Mb now i am getting about 3M. My upload speed doesnt seem to be affected because it is getting 5M.
I don't think its the update. My Droid x is having issues aswell. (On same wifi connection) so its probably a YouTube server issue.

This is a YouTube back-end server issue that Google has been working on for two days. It happens on every ICS device I have tried with the stock browser. You will probably see this up and down availability for the next couple of days from YouTube. Any coincidence that it started occurring when they rolled out the last version of Chrome.
Just tried and no issues here runs smooth

I watched a couple of YouTube vids today w/no problems; I did take the 2/8 update. I do think the update affected my battery life though, but I'm giving it a few days to shake itself out.

Yeah, I concur.
From what I've read here and there, it would seem that Google is aware of the issue, and this doesn't necessarily pertain to our latest update on the TFP.
However, that is not to say that I want to quit pointing the finger at ASUS for my issues on this particular piece of hardware.
I think it's just habitual and somewhat human of us to immediately associate all issues with the hardware manufacturer.

I also had issues with youtube flickering and making it difficult to search. I just tried restoring youtube in Titanium and then reinstalled it from Titanium, selecting "App only" instead of "App plus data" and all seems well so far
edit - uninstall then reinstall using titanium
Its not the back end its the way the YouTube app buffers. It buffered correctly in 11.1 but not in the new update. It seems like its not caching. Properly
Anyone else having this issue? Can navigate app, but when u go to stream it gets stuck on red netflix loading screen endlessly.
Left it there for 1+ hour. Works okay on 3g but quality is horrible for me since data is so slow.
Downgraded to 1.8.1 and it works great. Guess I can stick with that for working movies.

My WiFi is crap here so I mostly use 3g, I notice a bump in quality with the newest update. I have yet to try using WiFi

I am having the same problem with mine. For some reason the update to 2.0 has stopped all of my android devices except my wifes gs2 from working inside wifi. So weird.
Working fine over 3G and WiFi.... Not sure whats going on with you...
Finally got an error. 29 or 39, I was asleep when it finally have me an error after 2 hours or so.

I have never gotten netflix to work on my phone. I can get to the log in screen and it will never accept my user id or password.
Rooted EVO baby
Just rooted and s-offed, flashed New firmware and rom based off new firmware. Cleared all caches and netflix 2.0 still not working over WiFi.
Thinking maybe it is just my work WiFi since it has been funky with other stuff. In changelog it says fixed WiFi optimization or something of the sort. That has to be it since 1.8 works perfect.
Will have to try another WiFi spot but I don't really go anywhere but work that has WiFi for more than a few minutes.
Anyone got any other ideas?

I don't know if I am just setting this up wrong but so far I have tried:
Energy Blue
Energy stock
Android revolution
stock
jelly bean fusion
and all the them slacker don't work right.
Just hangs on songs randomly after about 2 songs and won't go any further.
Are there any roms that have this working correctly?
Anyone?

It was figured out in another thread... You have to set your min processor frequency higher. If its to slow then the app will act weird when the screen is off and the phone deep sleeps

Yeah I saw that guys post too and posted there.
set mine not to go below the 400 range one and still had the same issues with no change.
Yeah, I've noticed this too. I've got a ticket open with Slacker. I noticed this right after the update to ICS, Slacker stopped working. Slacker customer service sucks, big time. Tons of reviews on Google Play say it hangs after a couple songs. It hung with stock after ICS update, stock after ICS update in safe mode, the 3.2.2047 hangs, and even the just released 3.2.2058 (which is supposed to fix connectivity issues), still hangs.
I've had two tickets open with slacker, one a couple months ago, and it took forever to get them convinced it wasn't my WiFi. I told them on the same connection, I could sit and watch Netflix all day. It's clearly a problem with their app. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't like the service so much.
I've given the app a single star review along with my several trouble tickets.
It's inexcusable for the app to not work, since it's a bundled app.
I just did a clean flash of CM10.1 on my SGSII. After I booted back up and things started downloading, I noticed that everything was downloading at under 1kb/s. Yes, under one KB per second. Streaming media is fast as ever but this is SO slow. My Nexus 7 and Acer A500 are fine on the Play store but my SGSII is painfully slow. Right now, Facebook says it has 35 minutes to download.
Anyone else having this issue right now? Or should I go back to the CM10.1 thread and continue to get flamed for blaming the ROM?

The Play store is also super slow for me, on both my SG3 and TF300. I haven't updated to the Play store 4.0, so I don't know if that's what's causing it.
Try this play store. It is the 4.0 version.

I'm dealing with the same thing, I just rooted my Sprint Galaxy S3 and now the market is super slow, it's also slow on my rooted Nexus 7, but just fine on my rooted EVO 4G LTE. it's gotten somewhat better overnight..
Here goes again. This time on my Nexus 7.
until the play store updates it will be slow . so allow it to update ( install play services , Google settings , latest version etc) then it will work properly

I updated the Play Stores manually.
Yep, things have sped up and acting normally. Updated manually to the new play store, went with the modded black version.

Doing it again on my Nexus 7 and Acer A500. The Play Store is crap lately.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but the Play Store has been incredibly slow for me for days. I have a stock Galaxy S3 and Play Store v4, but it was equally slow on v3 of the store. I ran a speed test and everything is fine with the wifi. I'm downloading a test file at around 1-2 MB/s. When I try to update an app in the store, my download speed appears to be around 150 KB/s. These updates should download in a few seconds and did a while back, but somewhere along the line it has gotten stupidly slow. I have no idea what to do about it. My wife has a Galaxy Axiom with v3 of the store and updates run just as slow on her phone. I've rebooted the phone, and power-cycled the router and modem. The speed of everything else seems to be fine though, it's just the store that is ridiculously slow. Tried clearing the cache too, didn't help.
Mine is off and on with issues. I think it's something to do with the farm of servers your account is on, maybe some issues or something in that server farm or something. I dunno. Just a thought.
Appears to be slow again. So slow I can't even download anything. I'm on an 802.11n connection, running a 75mbit fiber connection to the internet. It's not on my end. Especially because everything else is fast. How do I even report this stuff?
Well my v10 stutters on 1080, 2k, 4k, 60 fps videos on youtube. Where my wife's does just fine. But as far as gaming my phone blazes just as my note 4 did no issues at all. Just with the youtube app it freezes/Buffers conatantly. But watching them through the browser no issue only happens with youtube app for my phone, hulu nor Netflix have issues. There have been updates pushed to AT&T from what I have heard that fixed the fingerprint, an youtube as well as a few other issues. I have tested both wifi and LTE. Anyone else have this issue? Found a fix or work around? I am rooted stock everything else except I removed all T-Mobile bloat.

Pretty sure you guys have noticed that well we all have youtube issues as well positive that you have heard of Binge on Demand that T-Mobile offers well one thing they don't say is hey we have already added it to your account while it does not add to the cost of your bill it does slow down your data for things like youtube or what ever streaming service you are using. By simply going to your account plans and services then other you will see you have the option to enable or disable. Select disable of course and voila. You should now be enjoying your high def videos on YouTube and whatever you watch and have issues doing so. Now I have tested this on both of my devices an have had positive results.
I'm on the same boat man, i freaked out for a second because i thought it was my phone, it's an app issue and a lot of people are mad about it.
I updated my review last night at the play store.
It's insane that it is taking this long for them to address the issue. Even if they have begun to or what ever I don't have a clue. Thanks for your response
Ok well I decided to uninstall youtube updates. It started running fine. Woke up this morning and it updated by itself I can now watch youtube like normal.....kinda weird but hey it worked for me
Thanks for the tip
Did it work for you as well?
Yes it did it really helped a lot, now it's cruising through 720p videos and just right behind the buffer on 1080p, 1440p is still a no go. I've been reading and searching about the issue and what i have understand so far is that they optimized the app for marshmallow and is not playing nice with lollipop. The quick workaround so far is the tip that you posted so thanks again.
No problem, that's insane why isn't it optimized for all lol
Just found out that if you have Binge On it will cut your data speeds up to 3 quarters of you don't use the Binge On apps. I have unlimited everything so i turned the Binge On thing OFF and voila i can stream 1440p videos with no problem now.
How do you turn binge off
Go in to your account online go to profile and then media manager
