Searched through the forums and I see where everyone is having 4G YouTube issues, but I don't see a fix for it.
Has anything developed?
Right now I am using a work around and playing all my YouTube videos through NextVid.
It's a nice alternative. Still, it bothers me that one of the most popular stock apps doesn't work.
Don't have this problem. Just watch 2 videos on the YouTube app.

I am having issues to. A brief search shows that some are and some arn't. HTC is trying to find some correlation but no luck from what I can tell. Others have reported that it cleared within a few days, while others has worked fine then about two or three days ago it stopped.
I openned youtube about 30 minutes ago and clicked a video and let it sit. After about 3 minutes it started playing. This is very frustrating as I use youtube a ton.
BTW: I am in North Alabama on 4G.
What is NextVid?
YouTube 3rd party app. Has a little viewer that I think just renders the webpage. Not very impressive but works.
By any chance are your running a different rom. I installed a few last night and the ics roms worked fine. The GB rom i tried did not work.
What exactly is the issue?

When on 4g it can take up to 5 minutes to start a video. I have not had this problem with any of the ICS Roms, only the GB Roms. Videos start right up when on wifi, 3g, or 1x but when on 4g the app starts but when you go to launch a video the spinny ball thing (technical name) comes up for 3 to 5 minutes and just spins. The video will eventually start but 5 minutes to start seems like a long time. It still buffers the video when when it starts so it is not like it is doing a complete buffer before it starts.
I have wiped the app, deleted cache, reinstalled app, etc. Nothing works. Only thing I know works is going to an ICS Rom which I was not extremely happy with.
Besides this issue, I have no other problems with 4g.
Issues have been fixed with the latest update, I believe
I watched at least 20 HD YouTube videos last night via 4G with no apparent long delays starting up using the newly updated YouTube app.
I bought on launch day and had YouTube over 4G problem where the stocck app didn't work but It was fixed by VZ in like 2 days. It was some kind of network block not the phone or the app.
This was not network related. It had something to do with the app. It worked fine on ICS roms but on GB roms it took for ever to load. After the last youtube update, all is working fine.
Do you have the same problems with the video load times going straight to youtube.com VS using the APP? The Youtube APP for me even with the Droid X was always buggy but going straight to the website loaded vids alot faster for me
web site had the same issues. Only nextvid would work.

I have had to restart my phone twice daily in order to get my audio files and you tube to to work. I have been looking for a solution for months. This problem has manifested itself in several forums here and elsewhere under many different titles (mp3 issue...odd problem...you tube not working...).
Some have had suggested that the Twitter App is the culprit, and after one day of testing I believe this to be true. I think it is true for everyone that uses the twitter app, and on most ROMs (which I think is a lot of people). I am not taking any credit for solving this, but I do want to confirm that this is true. Major bug, no?
I will keep an eye on this. Mine doesn't happen as often as yours (usually I can go a couple of days without media playback problems). I'll subscribe to this thread also and make sure to keep testing media playback. I'll report back in a week or so. Reason is, this is a recent issue, and I installed Twitter recently, but never made the connection. Who knows?
Answer: has to be. Since uninstalling it, no more media playback issues. Youtube is fine, video playback is fine, audio playback is fine. How weird.

So, decided I'd register here as I've been having this issue as well since the official Twitter app hit the 2.0 version I think.
Someone on the t-mobile forums did in fact pinpoint the official twitter app as the cause, but why? No one seems to know.
I'm curious if anyone here could find out why this happens and/or a resolution. For what it's worth, you don't have to uninstall the app for media to work, I just turned off all notifications and sync, and my media works fine ever since. But once I enable all that, in less than 24 hours, mp3's, youtube, videos/streaming all cease to work until a reboot (and repeat at least once a day).
Hi, after upgrading to ICS everything is working much better, except for the youtube app. Pretty much every time i click on a link it says "unfortunately, Youtube has stopped" especially when you use the search function...
Is this happening to anyone else, or can you offer a solution?
I've rebooted, cleared data etc....
Any ideas?
Mine does the same thing.

Yup had this too. Not with all of them though. Some it shows some it doesn't.
Settings, Apps, ALL, YouTube... then force stop, and clear data! Mine was doing that until I cleared the app data and now it works fine!
If you're rooted, you can just use Titanium Backup and "WIPE DATA" on the YouTube app!
mine works fine without clearing any data
nup, mine still likes to troll me ...
mine seems to still be working fine. everything loads up alot faster.
YouTube does that on my phone running ICS too. It is an issue with ics and not the tablet.

Did a Force Stop/Clear Data, and so far so good, but I was only seeing "You Tube Stopped Working intermittently, so I cannot verify this as a valid fix until I test it some more. Seems promising, as quite a few app issues get fixed this way after updates. Sure beats the early TF101 days when you needed to jump though all kinds of hoops to fix YouTube and NetFlix
THe crashing happens only for HD videos , for other videos it works fine for me .
Even clearing data doesn't help with HD videos.
Even the glowball app crashes as soon as i open , this used to work fine with honeycomb.

Update: i was able to update the glowball app from market and that fixed it
tried to do the same for Youtube, but couldn't find the youtube app on the Market.

Hi there,
I am facing the same issue as yours from today evening. I am however facing it on the Galaxy Nexus running ICS 4.0.2. The YouTube app is constantly crashing, regardless of whether I play videos via the widget or via the actual app. I am also unable to see my videos from subscribed channels in the widget or the actual app. Only videos from Most Discussed or Recommended are being displayed.
The app was working fine until last evening and I have force stopped, cleared the cache and all saved data + restarted phone several times. No effect. It does not matter whether I am on 3G or WiFi.
Any suggestions?

Yeah, like for me. worked fine yesterday. Have no problem with the stability, just the sync don't work
And just now it's started to worked little. can now see my subscribe channels if I go under account.
on the start, main screen most discussed and recommend are showing. here is used to see the newest from my subscribe channels
Start to think that Google are doing maintenance or upgrade and there for its not working as it should.
Have we been able to watch live video with the app before???. and movie categories?? all this under the search button

Whats up people Iam loving my Prime now rooted with Vipermod. I started using the youtube app today and noticed non of the problems posted here but did see that when I scrolled the mouse across the screen it flickered at the top and that when I stream with bluetooth it takes while for it to load and keeps on reloading the video after a couple of seconds even if the video has loaded already. The second I take off bluetooth device video streams fine in HD with no reloading. Wanted to see if anyone else can test this out as well.
Yeah, mine started working again... i played with the HD settings and turned it on and off before it crashed.. and now its working. Hmmm

Are you talking about the Youtube app Hd settings and that when your turned off Hd the it would not have a problem streaming youtube. Dont think you were referring to my post but wanted to ask.
i just turned off hd in the bottom left corner of the video before it could load... then watched it for a bit... then turned it back on and it all started to work again, in both standard def and HD. I have no idea why it worked, but it seemed to
this, unfortunately, does not fix my problem. Ironic enough, everything else for this tablet WORKS so far.
Also, not sure if it's truly fact that ICS is not supported, or ASUS messed up somewhere... Either ways, here's the problem: (click the screenshot provided)
It clearly says on my other devices Youtube is already installed. However I went to Market on my TFP, and it won't show up. I go on site and the screenshot is what I get.
So, who exactly is at fault? Google or Asus?
Also, I had this bug since first ICS rollout.
On my Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, my Youtube app all of a sudden stopped showing my subscription videos on the home page. I tried factory resetting, flashing a new rom, wiping the data for Youtube, nothing. Instead whenever I launch the Youtube app the home page shows me Recommendations from 2007. It also force closes on every other video I try watching This issue just started today, and its very annoying. Any help?
Edit: So I checked the comments on the market for Youtube and it appears that many other people are experiencing the same issues I am ugh I guess I just have to wait until Google fixes this then. Mods delete this thread please >.<
Is there a fix for this as yet? I started getting it within the last few hours as well. I'm practically pulling my hair out

Hi Everyone,
I need help on my nexus 5/Android 4.4.2. I want to be able to troubleshoot and figure out why my nexus 5 is acting strange -at least the OS part of it.
A BIT OF HISTORY: I just recently purchased this phone in the US through a friend.
THE SITUATION/ISSUES:
- When I go to the app drawer, sometimes the wall paper in the background turns black and comes back just after I tap a an app
- When I use the chrome browser and surf the web some something, it reloads the page I am viewing without me triggering reload. It's kinda annoying that it reloads pages i am viewing. Quiet a few times chrome crashed.
- When I use youtube and tap the voice command to search for videos, it accepts the command but it doesn't load the videos I wanted to search.
- Sometimes, when I tap the home button it kinda reloads the home screen.
I thought that it might be just the OS and maybe a glitch or something. I tried factory reset (vanilla android) a few times but it is the same. I have tried cyanogenmod 11 on it and it is still the same issues.
I am a newbie. This is my first nexus android. I have used HTC desire HD for a month and it doesn't have this problem.
If I am unclear with describing my situation/problem please let me know.

Since it persists in different roms looks like a hardware issue.. More of an ram issue is what I can make of.. Take a logcat and send it my way and I'll look at it.
The last 2 errors are pretty common. The last one is because your launcher is not locked on ram.

Thanks for the reply MasterAwesome.
I have just downloaded aLogCat to log issues on my phone. Once I've gathered enough activity/issues, I'll send it your way.
Are issues likes these common in Nexus 5's? I've reverted back to my Stock Android.
YouTube issue: I didn't update the YouTube app and the voice search feature on it worked fine - at least for now that seems to be the fix for it.
Chrome Browser reloading issue: I haven't found a fix but Chrome Beta seem to work fine. Still reloads but not quite as often. I think this reloading issue isn't just contained in Chrome Browser.
Skype Video Call issue: I forgot to mention that I used Skype for a video call once and every 1-3 minutes the video drops (but not the call) I would have to press back to go out of the call without hanging up and get back to it. That seem to reload the video again.

They are common? I have an N5 and have a few friends with them and hang out in the Nexus 5 forums too. It's definitely not that common. I've flashed dozens of roms on my phone and have not experienced any of these problems besides Chrome reloading a few times, though even that only happened a few times. I also use Nova Launcher and have never seen it reload (besides waiting for a new theme to load) or flake out once.

Oh my, I wonder if we still have any photon 4G users around here... I'll try with some wishful luck :laugh:
Stock ROM, 2.3.5, Sprint, Root Only.
Youtube Version : 5.0.21 = videos play fine directly via the app when connected on 3G/4G but never on WiFi, error : There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry. - this error just started last month. Cache/Data clears did nothing. I have a Nexus 7 Stock Android 4.4.X tablet that also connects & plays youtube videos to the same Wifi network without a problem. Other data-related apps (e.g. gmail, browser) work fine.
Interestingly, I can still view youtube videos on other apps like Reddit News, PVStar+ Pro (both on Wifi + 3g/4g). It's just when directly loading the youtube app, this error appears. I can search and see content but all I get is that Touch to Retry" I tried uninstalling back to the original stock version of youtube that originally came with the photon and it was able to play via WiFi, but I lose my option to view embedded videos on Reddit News app (needed v5.0.21 to do that).
So I'm rooted + have my MSL if needed to edit anything. Has anyone experienced this or found a better apk version that works?
Yep!
Getting the same issue on my end.
Honestly stopped using my phone to do anything like game or watch videos since I got it.
Much rather buy a new phone than bother with all the problems I've gotten using this one.
I know this is offtopic but I just found this post on the atrix forum about a photon user flashing the atrix's 4.4.4 kitkat rom on his phone. The thread is titled "MB855need some help". He states that everything seem to work fine but, the camera, light and distance sensor, and button's light don't work. He was trying to get attention from devs to make it work on this phone but it seems they are already too busy with other projects, so I was thinking if we could get some attention from a dev for this phone we could get an almost-working kitkat rom. You can find the 4.4.4 kitkat rom in the atrix's development forum.

I am temporarily back on my Photon. My use of videos on WiFi has never been an issue. I am using GSM on a formerly Sprint CDMA model. I had the update that prevented full unlock, but I was able to modify everything necessary regardless. So, I don't know if my configuration is standard, but I have my old files on the SD card. I'd be glad to help if I can. I can look at this more tomorrow sometime. I was just wandering by as I was working on my new phone... it's late.
I used the one out of mof 2.3.5 ish rom and it works perf3ct. If I update I get the error again

Bringing this topic again for 2015 as it seems like it's still never been resolved for the photon 4g to install the latest youtube update on google play (it's been like this for such a long time, and the only version that still seems to work with some functionality at least if playing videos via the in-app embedded view feature on the reddit news app, this is youtube v5.0.21) - That same version won't play anything if you launch the youtube app on its own - would love to hear if any Photon 4G CMDA survivors have found any workarounds in getting this to work or if you have another higher/newer youtube apk build version, please let us know what that is - thanks
Everything else on the Moto P4G is still working great... for regular voice/data-mms-text/gmail/.web browsing on firefox app, it's still doing fine.
Also, looks like PVStar+ Pro/Regular have been taken off the Google Play Store... which was really the only viable alternative to youtube + the photon 4g. If you know of any other apps that still work for gingerbread like this, it would be good to just know too.
p.s. emailing youtube developers has yet to ever get a response (e.g. been trying around 1x a month).
