Youtube lag - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So when I watch youtube video (just trough the youtube app) the clip will freeze half a second or less like every couple of seconds. This is not always the case but it happens a lot.
It might be only when the movie is still loading but I'm not sure.
Anyway, is this normal?

No, that is not normal, I've never had any problems.

Anyone got an idea why this is? Still having this. I'm on android 2.3.6 btw.

MX Video Player

Anyone here have this installed and now having issues since the last update to this app?
I ask because I don't want to give bad feedback to the developer of the app is it's just me and specially since it's free...
Thanks for reading and posting

Update to anyone that may care send email to developer hope for a reply or that more people have the same issue to get a fix.

Maybe if you gave us a little more information as to what "issues" your having, someone can try to replicate them.
The issue im having is the following ever since the last update came out for this app about 3 days ago.
If I click on the video I want to see and it will show for a second and then the screen goes black. As if the screen times out. So then I have to click the power button to turn the screen on and see that the video is still running yet I only see it for about a second again before I'm kicked out and again screen goes black and I press the power button and unlock the screen again and after that hope the video is almost over or have to turn off the phone because it wont let me do nothing unless the video is done. Not even the captive buttons respond once the video is running. It's almost as if it was a force close but the thing is still running. Also I have tried same videos on the stock player and double twist and they play just fine no issues.
I have since removed the app till I hear from developer or see that the app has been updated. It's also a shame because I had just come put with a Pro version and was willing to buy but wanted to see what the update did before purchasing it.

The issue is absent in my experience. It seems to work fine. My phone is rooted though, that might have something to do with the permissions needed to keep the screen active; but i doubt it.
I assume you have the correct codec installed.
Maybe there is a glitch only when updating... I installed mine after the update so it was a clean install.
Are you streaming or playing the videos locally?

I'm using the right codec and the video is local on the 2 SD card those same videos worked fine before the update. Also I did try removing both app and codec and then redownloading to same old story of it not working. I do want to point out I'm not rooted ... But don't see how that would have anything to do if it use to work right before the last update...

Update:
Just got email from dev and he said the following
" did you use a brightness control utility? similar problem has been reported when display brightness is forcibly lowered."
I replied to him telling yes that I downloaded a Brightness Toggle Widget and had it said to 0% and after I got his email re DL the app and codec and now it's back to normal
Anyways i want to thank the dev of the app and anyone that try to help out. Also hope this helped anyone and let's support great apps like this one and many more with great developers that reply back and don't just see you as a quick $.

[Q] Youtube widget

Anyone having problems with ther youtube widget not loading correctly
anybody? must be just my phone
I am having the same issue. I thought it may be something to do with Launcher Pro, however, I went back to the stock launcher to test it out and it is happening as well.
Every once and a while it works.. More often than not, it does not.
I'm having the same issue with my spark 360 live widget. Some times it works sometimes it doesn't.
Maybe your sex tube is conflicting with it hahahaha

Same issue.......don't know what's the problem.....
Mine just shows loading symbol as well...
Also when I get advertisements before the music videos shown by Vevo it takes a long time to load the advertisement and constantly skips, but the video itself plays smoothly.

Instagram for Android is out.

So Instagram is out for Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android

Great app, glad to have it; however, it drains your battery during use like CRAZY. I used it for 10 minutes and noticed a 5-10% drop in battery. What?
Is anyone using it on the Leaked ICS rom for the AT&T Note? I can say that I can log in and see but everything goes to hell when I take a picture and try to change the filter, the phone goes install crazy, Starts to vibrates, and front buttons are non responsive. I have to do a hard reset. Anyone else experience this?

Yup, I can do everything on Instagram except upload a pic. On official ICS leak.
How can you expand the working space to fit our note? It always crop out a square and I can't expand it into a rectangle?

[Q] Facebook App?

Alright...so I just downloaded the Facebook App for my phone, and when I attempt to upload a new status message, the app just force closes itself. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this and if there is a fix for this?
I am not sure if this makes a difference, but I am currently running on Slim ICS.
Facebook has been...and probably will be the single most hated app ever created that everyone has.
Every single version made never works right.
I've actually sat my phone on to of my router...with all other processes off......and still took 4min to even open the app

Yeah, I am starting to hate it myself now, however, mines does not load that slow. My only problem is I cannot post status updates..and I don't feel like using a web browser to log on and do it.

Friend of mine using samsung 7plus on stock rom also having the same problem..still cannot resolve...if u dont mind..u can use other facebook apps..such as friendcaster..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsInVrLmNvLnNlbmFiLmJsdWVOb3RpZnkiXQ..
i strongly suggest this. its not perfect, but i would say its the best facebook app out there. def better than the default. one major feature that makes it stand out is PUSH notifications for EVERYTHING...not just messages, friend requests, etc.

I'll try it out and see if it would work for me. If not, then I guess I am stuck using the web browser method.

Haha, but mines does not work at all ever since all the updates. Has been really annoying having to log on to FB using a web browser (I use Chrome Beta or Dolphin. Either works for me) and having to update my status like that. Mines does not FC, but only when trying to update my status. Otherwise, I can basically do everything else, just cannot write a new status update.
It seems to work perfect in diferent roms. I been using euphoria for a few days and it works like a charm

Mine makes my battery its biznitch. I'm talking like losing 8% in about 2 minutes. I just don't use it. Twitter on the other hand...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
Yeah, I know what you mean about the battery thing. That's why I just stopped using it, and from one of the suggestions on top, used Friendcaster up until when I deactivated my account about 5 days ago. I agree with that person that it is not perfect, but at least it gets the job done.

Laggy pop-up play

When I use pop-up play with self captured vids it makes my phone lag quite a bit which renders the feature pretty useless imo. Why is this? And is it even normal?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Also, when I push the vid in the corner (so a little part isn't shown) the lag goes away completely. It doesn't get better when the part not shown is bigger. The behaviour isn't present at all when using the example vid. Also I'm on the stock LFB rom.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ok it has something to do with the vid being 1080p otherwise it wont happen, but as only the slightest part of the vid has to be covered by the edge of the screen it shouldn't be a matter of processing power. It has to be some kind of bug. Can anyone else confirm this bug?

i dunno why yours lags but did you ever try this app i find it much better does the same thing with many more options including resizing

I don't really like that app. I prefer the stock one. Also, the video itself doesn't lag but my phone does while playing it. For example while swiping trough apps or homescreens. But only with 1080p as I said.

No lag here, currently writing this while watching a self captured 1080p vid, which rom/kernel are you on?

I really hope the jelly bean update will fix this.
i am running the i747 north american galaxy s3. I get almost the same symptoms. It will lag with any video, but if i put a little bit of the edge off screen then it stops lagging. I have tried the jellybean leaks and pop up play runs perfectly smooth so it seems like it is something to do with the vsync.
