youtube app issue - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok, i searched this thread and didn't find anything on this, though i could have sworn i read of others having similar issues before while keeping up on the thread. anyways, my youtube won't work. it will load and search, but when i try to load a video, it says "There was a problem while playing Touch to retry". i've tried multiple times, over multiple wifi's and over the normal data network, it always says the same thing. i decided to uninstall youtube and try reinstalling it from the market, but the market says that your device is not compatible with this item. i was able to get it from mobilism and reinstall it, but i'm still having the same issue. should i try reinstalling the rom? and if so could i do it without wiping the data or would i have to wipe the data in order for it to hopefully work? its worked through opera for a minute, then started giving me the same issue as the app

Use Youtube 4.5.17...

A few weeks ago, I found both my Atrix (latest MROM) and my wife's (latest stock 4.5.145) had this issue. To make a boring story short(er), I found that this started with v5.1.10, so I found a download at androidpolice.com for 5.0.21 (using appbrain.com to find the release versions) and it worked.
However, after I did this, I found the battery life on my Atrix had severely deteriorated. I tried a reboot to no avail, and waited to see if a Youtube update might fix the original problem (using the wife's phone to test). After a couple days, I noted that the CPU would normally run at 912MHz or 1GHz and occasionally drop lower. So then I removed Youtube...and voila...CPU was then running at 216 or 312MHz, and rarely jumping higher.
In the meantime, I had found a couple alternatives for the latest v4.5.17:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340691
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2398322
The first one has a modified name, so it could be installed alongside Youtube to prevent update-nagging (and to see if a future update fixes this). So I installed it, and all is well; battery life is good and CPU throttling works properly.

first option didn't work for me but the second works flawlessly. Thanks jeremywh7!

Hi, what ROM do you use? Actually I found the same issue on TopSmart's 2.3.7 ROM which is CM9 based and with the recent youtube updates after like Christmas youtube had the same issue like yours. (sorry, I'm not aware of youtube versions). Recently I installed epinter's CM10.1 ROM with android 4.2.2 and there is no such issue.

Terribly sorry, TopSmart ROM is CM7 based. However the rest is correct.

Yes, the rest is correct. Youtube app has problems with all GB ROMs, we already knew that. It's a hit and miss at best.

I beg to differ, Youtube didn't have problems at all on GB 2.3.4 of my SK17i (Adreno 205), it's Motorola's firm problem with the outdated codecs and drivers for the TEGRA ARMv7.

Right; GB needs Youtube v4 to avoid issues (see post #2). I was just pointing out that its not a Motorola/Tegra2 issue perse, but a Motorola's* GB Tegra2 drivers issue. I was surprised that it worked, actually.
* - Out of curiousity, does anybody know if other Tegra2 devices (Moto or other) running GB have this Youtube issue? I seem to recall they did...

[Q] Browers closing when watching flash vids with new firmware 2.1.2

Since doing the upgrade to the new 2.1.2, i can no longer view flash heavy sites like IGN.com. When i try to watch a video review, the video will play for a while, then the browser closes out on its on. Its not a memory issues as i always have 110mb free before launching my browsers, and i have tried both the market version of flash and the droid X version. This same situation happens with every browser that i have tried so far. This has never happened with the previous firmware upgrade. Anyone else experiencing this issue??
Yes I get the same with my A70. Firmware 2.1.2, stock browser and droid x flash.
Mobile or full site? Just getting to the page or actually trying to view a video?

Yup, just went over to ign and tried watching a video review, after the commercial of dr. Pepper which played stuttery, it tried to load the video review and then force closed the browser.
And I'm using Droid X version.
Did you let Archos know? They will work on bugs, but only if they know of them.
My 70 is doing this before and after the update. Most frustrating.
Please guys update to2.1.3 actually works very good with flash! And i was just on ign.com and watched a vid very smooth.
I actually have default browser jumping out to desktop even with the old 2.0.71, this happens whenever there is heavy flash video content. The flash either caused the browser to jump out to desktop or it'll just display a "!" sign after playing the video for a while. I think both are a sign of out of memory.
i have this exact same problem, have no idea why
Update to 2.1.3 [as newfierideout said] it is worth it, And will probably solve all your problems.

Edit: weirdest thing, i overclocked to 1200 and installed auto memory manager, set that to aggressive, and ign video review played, stuttering a bit seldomly with the speaker cracking sound. Then i tried a second ign video and the device crashed.

Same situation... agfer upgrading to 2.03 all works smooth with standard browser and Flash.
Some problem with Dolphin and flash... sometimes it closes.... but ... only sometimes...
I uninstalled the Droid version of flash and installed the one from the market, now I can watch ign videos! But it pauses/jerks sometimes lol don't know why.
I had trouble finding it in the market, even with the market fix, which I did many times.
Found this solution in archosfans:

I upgraded to 2.1.4 today and still get the odd web browser shut down when playing flash.
I think its more an issue of the flash not being the right one. Archos still hasnt released its verison of 10.1.
Meantime what versions are you guys using?

[Q] calkulins Rom

i just noticed that the "My Apps" button in the market now looks like a phone and says "sprint"
If i click on it it doesn't take me to my apps.
Anyone else having this problem?
That's normal for this build. If you click on your Menu, you'll find My Apps there.
Thanks you were right
Best ROM on XDA
+1
I'm really enjoying this ROM. The speed of the machine is phenomenal.
Love the Rom ad well but can't seem to get the market updated or to show all apps. Any thoughts?
I've tried market enabled to no avail.
Issue with ROM or with G-Tab?
I've noticed that if I let the g-tab go to sleep, I'm having to reboot it get it to wake up.
Is anyone else having this issue? I've had my tablet since x-mas, but have nto used it much. It sat in a desk drawer for about 2 months, and I'm just now getting into using it.

I have this issue with every rom ive tried on my gtab. So now I pretty much just install clem's kernel everytime. Plus it gives me CIFS so I can stream media from my windows pc .

Yeah, again it's just the build. There are a ton of hacks that will get you more of the market, but I doubt you'll ever get "everything". Considering that the GTab wasn't blessed by Google, we're lucky to have the devs here to get the market at all.

Another issue with this ROM. Some have fixed it by going to Clemsyn's kernel, others to Pershoot's and still others by using CPU Master Free. Personally, I just set my tab's Screen Timeout to Never. What can I say...I like simple.

I agree. The only problems I see with it are no news and weather widget like on tnt, and the horrible photo album (I think it's from stock?)
Fireware
This may be a stupid question, so I am sorry if it is, but Calkulins v1.1 says it is "Based on rooted 2.2 / FRF91 - TnT 3991"...
so can you run it on the 1.1-3588 firmware, or will that brick?
Again, sorry for my ignorance...
Thanks!
ROM's and Firmware are the same thing. If you're asking whether you can use ClockworkMod or standard recovery, the answer is yes. Calkulin's ROM is a hybrid using the newer 3991 build for features but the older bootloader and recovery. It shouldn't cause you any trouble loading it over 3588.
Thanks! Sorry, I confused the firmware with bootloader, thanks for straightening that out!
No problem. Just want to make sure that I understand the question correctly. Happy modding!
All Done!
Woot!! I will say, I bought this on the woot! deal... and although I consider myself very computer savvy, I have never rooted/hijacked/whatever a device before...
Happily this was super easy! I wanted use the stock ROM for a bit to get familiar with it, but I just couldn't stand how slow/unresponsive/just crappy it was!!
So I jumped the gun and started in... luckily I did a lot of reading first!!
Loaded up Clockworkmod - and made a backup first!! lol
Used clockworkmod to install Calkulins ROM---OMG is it fast!!
The found that I was having the sleep-death issue... so I loaded up Clemsyns Kernel Too!!
Not a single hiccup! Even for a noob- this is super easy! Just follow all the great advice on the XDA forums (and don't skip steps!) and you can't screw it up.
Thanks to all the great people on here, for the hard work, and patience... I love seen good communities like this!
DeadEnd
Which version of Clemsyns is recommended?
Hi,
clakulins ROM is my prefered ROM so far
But, it needs some issues to be addressed to make it my daily driver.
1- sleep-to-death
I know we can use another kernel to fix this (so I keep this fix for later if everything else can work)
2- Settings/Family accounts/add member
This FC every single time. I definitly need this functionality. My Gtab being a family device....
3- Photos is horrible as previosuly pointed out in this thread. I want a centralized place for all my photos, or at least for local storage + picasa. With this gallery, we can only access picasa public albums. What about my own account !!!
4- Photos started to display pictures roatated one quarter to the left. It doesnt let me re-rotate them back to original. It does that for evey single picture, i cant fix this. Photos is now unusable
I tried a few Photos gallery apps from the market (6-7 so far). None of them works to my liking.
I just want somethings simple that get access to all my pics.
5- Cant play videos anymore. Not even the sample 'car' and 'king kong' that came with the Gtab.
If I can fix all of the above, calkulin will be my only and permanent ROM.
(ps items 4 and 5 were previously working ok in this ROM, this started yesterday)
Also, another things that is on my whish list:
- Have bluetooth HID
I have this blutooth keyboard collecting dust on the used parts shelve that I would like to use with the Gtab
thank you calkulin for all,
So, I decided to install clemsyn kernel to fix this sleep-death problem.
No problem installing, everything went well.
But now instead of comlaining that it cant play videos, it just FC on every videos I try to play.
I feel a complete reinstall will be necessary.

[Q] Has anyone installed Honeycomb a2.1

If so have you found anything that was not working on it? I am currently running VEGAn Ginger and want to try the HC but I want to know what is not working before taking the time to nvflash and install new ROM.
No, but
Many things are still not workin, but there are great improvements daily. I think it wont be long to say a stable beta version.
So i would suggest to be patient and wait till the beta is out
Thanks, I will stay with VEGAn for now until then.
I loaded a2.2 and it is pretty good. They updated the email apps in a2.3. The only things now not really working are hd video, camera, flash (not sure if flash is working in further updates). Overall, for me the things that are missing are already missing in vegan rc1 (hd video and camera) so I am gonna stay with honeycomb and continue updating as new updates come out. It is nice and streamlined.
Been running every iteration. I've stuck with a2.1 now for a bit.
After this update, they have the overclocking kernel back in place and my gtab hates that. So I reverted back to 2.1, and then just copied the working email and gmail apps over.
Just missing the flash, who cares about the camera.
Came from Vegan Ginger, so the only thing this doesnt have over that is the working flash. But to be honest, its been a lot more stable than ginger ever was.

I installed a2.2 and it is crazy fast. 1900 quadrant before OC 2900+ after OC. Only caveat is the wifi crashes and the camera issues. Waiting for RC now.

You need to update to 2.4 - a good bit was fixed. Still no camera or OpenGL, but almost everything I need is fine as wine!

Pretty sure that is just running the Adam or Bottle of Smoke ROM.
The 3.01 they reference is the Honeycomb version, the 2.X referred to here is version of the Bottle of Smoke mod by Roebeet.
Bottle of Smoke
Just got it running today. It took me several hours to figure out the process, but I have successfully loaded the software. I am running Smoke Alpha 3.3. I am experiencing problems with wifi which seems to only be available for about 10-20 minutes. Once it stops working I have to restart the system. I can't scan or restart wifi from with in settings. I did get vulkano to work but it to locked up when I tried to change channels. I couldn't get Dolphin HD to work -- it loads but won't render any web pages, but Firefox beta (5) seems to work just fine. For some reason I can't download opera 11 from the market but other apps install with not problem. I have tried a few basic games (for the grand kids) and they seem to be working ok.
Does anyone know if Netflix is working for Bottle of Smoke??
Not on my viewsonic. You can access your queue but you can't view any videos.

Except for Opera, all of those are (well) documented issues. Read through the last 10-20 pages in Roebeet's BoS thread at Slatedroid and you will see many other people talking about the same things.

[Q] GS2 and 4.2.1, video, keyboard and bluetooth issues

I've done as much searching on these issues and I cannot find anywhere that references my particular symptoms. I've tried both AOKP 4.2.1 latest release and supernexus 2.0, and the fact that the exact same issues happen on both roms I would assume it's either a 4.2.1 problem or just some particular issues with my device...
1.) just about every video playing app has some sort of problem. Biggest example being the Twitch tv app only playing audio, screen is black except for menu options. Trying to go back crashes the app. flash video embedded on Web pages (installed flash so regular browser supports flash) works until you try to watch full screened, which makes the browser lock up until you force the process closed. youtube, like the twitch tv app, will only show a black screen where the video should be, however everything else shows up fine (examples being menus and, most interestingly, the preview pics that appear as you scroll through the video show up, but when it buffers it's back to black screen) For the record, I had to install the fix here to get netflix to get even that far, as before it would just stick at the loading screen when trying to play a video.
2.) SwiftKey loses its languages after each reboot where typing does not bring up any predictions (boxes where they would be are blank), and the only way to get it working is to go into languages in SwiftKey settings and updating them. I saw some other places describing the same issues with jellybean but i couldn't find if there was a solution.
3.) connecting to my car via Bluetooth and listening to music (power amp currently installed), if i get a call while music is playing the device will lock up for several seconds and the only way to get everything back to normal is to turn off bluetooth once the phone actually starts responding, call the person back on the device, and then reconnect via bluetooth and continue the music only at that point.
Any help or guidance or info on any of these issues would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Why not drop back to 4.1.2 rather than ICS?
Bluetooth is a know issue with 4.2. Never seen the swiftkey issue before, but quite a few apps are not compatible with 4.2 yet.

the video issue is the biggest issue in terms of affecting my day to day use, as i like to watch streams from twitch.tv as well as having netflix that works (has anyone seen or heard about the netflix issue i described? thought that was particularly weird...). I guess I could try a 4.1.2 rom before going all the way back to ics, but if it means more apps/features are stable and compatible compared to either version of jb, then that's the way i'd probably go. thanks for the replies

if you're referring to the fix i linked in the op referencing the stuck at loading issue where the fix is to install xposed, that was the only way i even got past the loading screen initially which brought me to the issue I described. if there is another fix he provided for the issue, i'd be interested in seeing the link if you could provide.
I switched to shostock3 using 4.1.2 and everything is working perfectly fine, so I guess all the issues, officially confirmed as problems or not, are 4.2.1 related. I'd still be curious to see if any further fixes exist as I definitely liked the supernexus rom and would love to use it if I can get everything working.

I'm having similar issues:
- SwiftKey works fine
- Google+ Hangout during a call video rendering is all glitchy, often freezes and crashes.
- Skype calls work fine
- Chrome freezes and crashes often
- Gmail Reply All either adds me to CC (if not updated to the latest version) or removes one address from the list (if updated). Saw other threads on this issue but couldn't fix it.
- Automatic timezone switches to GMT
Feels like most of the google apps aren't working for me, but rather than that the rom is cool would definitely want to fix the issues.

youtube 5.5.30 reboots when going back to menu from video

Hi,
I have two SGP 4.2 players, both running the enhanced stock ROM. Recently, my daughter and I have had issues with the Youtube app on both players where it causes the player to reboot every time you try to go back to the app menu from a video. Has anyone else experienced this?
On one player, I tried uninstalling the updates to get it back to the factory version, but then the player said youtube was not installed even though the app icon was still present. A reboot made it disappear and then I could reinstall, but the issue persisted.
On the other player, I uninstalled the app completely via ES File Explorer system apps. The issue persisted after the reinstall of the app.
I have tried clearing the app storage and cache. I have tried, via recovery, clearing the system cache and dalvik.
None of these options resolve the issue. A number of reviews in the Google Play store indicate that others are having the same issues, but nobody seems to have suggestions on how to fix it.
I've search the SGP forums here at XDA, but can't see any reference.
The next thing I will try will be to pull the youtube.apk from the original ROM zip file and reinstall it that way. The original ROM version did not crash.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or success resolving the issue?
Thanks,
C.
EDIT: I pulled the apk from the ROM zip and it seems to work fine. Over the holidays I plan to dig into an apk archive to find a newer version without issues.
I have the same issue, although it doesn't happen every time. I confirm that it didn't occur with the older versions of youtube, and I've never found a solution for this

Resurecting this. I tried all of the 2.3.6 compatible versions of Youtube I could find at apkmirror.com including 5.0.21, 5.1.10, 5.2.27, 5.3.23, 5.3.32, 5.5.26, and 5.5.27, all with the same issue.
I am still looking for versions in the 4.xx series. The version contained in the ROM that does work is 2.4.4.
I know I've had a version that's worked that's newer than 2.4.4, I just don't know which one! I'll keep digging when I have more time.
EDIT: I've also tried androidsandwich.com, but can't seem to d/l any of the apks from there. I'll try later with a different browser and keep digging for an alternative source.
EDIT-2: v4.5.17 from androiddrawer.com seems to be stable.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 this one has given me no problems. You get the extra benefit of being able to select 720p (The regular app won't let us, since our device's screen is not 720p. However, 720p on our devices looks much better than 480p because it streams at a higher bitrate. Plus this has off screen play back.

That's the only one that has worked without restating my player. The 720p option is awesome but I feel that it lags to much with my 4.2 player.

Jan 29, 2015 version of 5.5.30
A new version of 5.5.30 was released Jan 29, 2015. I don't know why they didn't give it a new version number. I installed it today and all seems OK. Hopefully it stays stable!

So, 5.5.30 seems to work fine on my SGP4.2, but not my daughter's. I've had to revert hers back to 4.5.17.
Weird.
