YouTube freeze - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

I got a freeze of the device.
I was watching YouTube redirected via Opera Mini.
The sound was ON, everything else freezed. I had to restart the phone.
Is this a YouTube issue?

Yea it is, i occured many times, but on other site that were not a problems.

I had the same problem a few times with the stock firmware (.62 I think.. or .63 ) and with the newer .73 I never had that issue. And I use youtube very often!
At mine it was the same: Everything else than sound just freezed, no button-press was recognized -> restart with [Vol UP]+[Power]. I could not reproduce it, it just happened about one time in two days or so..

I had something remotely similar several times:
When watching a video fullscreen and trying to jump back in time the video output would freeze, when rotating the phone back the normal YouTube interface would come back but the video portion would stay the same as fullscreen.
After a while a window pops up asking me whether I wanted to force close, when I choose close only the fullscreen video part is gone but YouTube is still running and responding...
I didn't have the phone freeze from this though.
edit: I'm on .67 Austrian A1 stock firmware.

Same for me :-S
And
even with one stuck,
i can reload another one
So,
"two" in same time

It happened on mine as well. I called Sony Mobile Canada to report this issue and the web browsing causing the phone to reboot. She said she will escalate it because it is a software issue. For now, I will be returning my Xperia S until they fix these issues. I can live without youtube for awhile but the web browser crashing the phone is unacceptable, IMO.

I got this same problem wit You Tube app. I know this is an old thread but is there any solution for that? Does firmware 73 will fix that?

I had the same issue. Even when I pressed home button while watching one video I still could hear audio from this video and even Force stop wouldn't help.
People do you have same issue as I have in the SKYPE video calls on landscape mode ? People can see me but I cant see my preview? I only can see little square with some of my video

[Q]Music suddenly stops playing

A lot of times when I'm listening to music and the screen is off, the music stops playing. Pressing the headset button does not resume the music, I have to turn on the screen and press the play button.
I had this problem on KE7 as well as I have it on KF2, my phone is rooted, currently I use PowerAMP, but if I can remember correctly, I've encountered the issue using Doubletwist as well. I even tried hard resetting, but the issue persists (I didn't really start from scratch but rather restored my user apps from a Titanium Backup).
Before I go through the tiresome task of uninstalling all the apps and installing them back one by one, I decided to ask for your help. Maybe somebody already managed to resolve a similar issue...
Settings> Motion> disable it... It may be because of the motion sensors... If you tilt the phone in a certain angle, the music stops playing...Just try, if it didn't work, then there is a problem...
This seemed to be happening to me when using PlayerPro. However, I had the trial and paid for versions installed, and it seemed to be the trial version doing this. Switching to the paid for version stopped the issue.
Could PowerAmp be behaving the same?

I have bought the full version, so it can't be this. The motion theory is interesting, but the phone was sitting on my desk when it happened today. Will try disabling it anyway.
Setting motion control to off did not help either. ;(

Hey man, im experiencing the same problem.
Glad to hear im not the only one. Ill be following this thread for answers. Im using PowerAmp as well.
Well, nice to hear I'm not alone.
I will try using doubletwist for a day or two, to see if it's a PowerAmp thing. But if memory serves me well, I already expirienced the same issue before buying PowerAMP.

Just came across this thread:
http://powerampapp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1274
Interestingly somebody mentions Google Listen as the culprit. I do use it a lot. Will try removing it and report back. BTW: Pocket Casts is free today on Amazon Appstore!
Freezing Google Listen defenitely helps.
I'm having the same problem, both with the stock player, and BBC iPlayer.
I'm also using Google Listen... so it'll be a shame if it's that which causes the problem.
I've just checked my Listen settings: it's set to check for new updates once a day, but I've had the players stop more than once in one day. I also had 'send anon feedback' switched on. I've turned that off.
I'd really like to hear if it's the confirmed culprit (and how to remove or freeze it) - cheers
I've also heard the problem could be when the phone is switching between 2G and 3G mode: as I'm in a basement office, I have poor signal quality, so there's a chance that's to blame...?
Well I use Google listen on my nexus one for a year now, and it never shows up in my apps list using battery, nor does it ever appear in system panel lust using no CPU. Its been just fine.
I've found the music is stopping when I get Gmail messages (though not every time)... so it's one of my Gamil widgets, the Status bar (though I have notifications turned off) or the Social Hub.
Once I've backed up all my data I'm going to do a Factory Reset
Update:
I've done a factory reset, that didn't stop it.
I've removed the Gmail widget, that didn't stop it.
I've gotten a brand new replacement phone, that didn't stop it.
I've tried a different music player (UberMusic), that didn't stop it.
Anyone got any more ideas?
sorry to bump old thread, but Im also facing this issue and couldnt find it anywhere except this thread.....
Currently on resurrection remix rom 2.3, not too sure what gives

Browser crashes

I've tried two Rezounds this week, and get browser crashes on both. It seems pretty random, but usually happens after using the browser for 5-10 minutes.
It's happened a few times in here and when browsing through Howard Forums.
I guess I'll need to download Dolphin browser and see if it crashes too.
I've had Dolphin crash on me a few times.
Has not happened to me yet on Opera.

Hasn't happened to me yet on Dolphin. (Knocking on wood)
Check your browser cache in Settings>Applications. My browser crashes on my DInc if it goes more than a few days without a restart. Clearing the cache often helps.

i haven't had the browser crash, but i have had weird things happen...
sometimes i'll click on a link, and nothing seems to happen.. i'll think 'huh? did it not register?' and then all of a sudden it's on the new page fully loaded.
also, there's times when i'll click on something and it'll think i clicked on a link right above where i actually did click. (and yes i've tried calibration & also using the gingerbread keyboard)
well, considering mine has a dead pixel anyway i'm just going to exchange it.
I went to dolphin h d browser soon as I could, I couldn't stand the original browser the way it cut off the notification bar.

The 1st Rezound I tried also had a dead pixel almost right in the center of the screen, but the 2nd unit doesn't have any dead pixel.
I have also noticed when using the web browser that when I click on link, it may just sit there. When I click on the link again, nothing happens. I have to go back one page and then forward for the link to open.
After using Dolphin browser for a day, I've had it crash and close unexpectedly a few times. I'm starting to think it may be an underlining issue with the phone it self.
Had my phone for 4 days now and the browser is yet to crash with extensive use.

Another issues I've noticed is that sometimes pictures don't load in the browser and show a question mark. Pressing on the Refresh icon usually fixes it.
But this has also happened when using the Facebook app, as some pictures just don't show unless you exit and restart the app.

[Q] ICS and Youtube app = not working?

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.

yea does that for me too. youtube app is unusable. until they fix it i will just use youtube.com
im also rooted and on ics.

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.

[Q] fullscreen videos wont work since ics

Hi, first of all sorry if this post is hidden somewhere but since i upgraded my tf201 to ice cream sandwish igot this problem : I can't play megavideo videos in fullscreen it just lead to a white page, on stock browser video works but after 5-10 mins the browser shutdown im kinda out of ideas. I tried uninstalling flash, dolphin browser hd, reinstalling both and tried iphone,ipad,android and desktop mode everytime with same result video hang then whitescreen gotta restart browser. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anyone had this problem???
Have you tried with the Flash update that came out today for compatibility with ICS?
Is it a different version than the one from market? I just uninstall/reinstall flash and dolphin hd tonight from market thx for reply
So nobody got this problem since ics??
Try using a 3rd party app such as Mobo or Rockplayer. If that doesn't work try a factory reset. Also ask Jerdog to move this to Q&A as this is a question.
I am also having this problem on my tp running ics dolphin and adobe. everything is up to date and says that it will fix the problem, but it does not. it happens on random videos, some work in full screen and some white screen. I think it has something to do with the flash player because I did not have the problem until i installed adobe (it was needed to play some videos that are now white screening). Videos work fine until they go fullscreen. My stock browser works fine and rarely crashes. I just like dolphins ui the best.
Any fixes found?
I am also having this issue, have tried 10 browsers, it is happening in all of them when you try to play embedded video and full screen videos. Frustrating as hell. I am sure an update is coming that will fix it.
No Problems Here...
My TFP is working flawlessly since ICS, the HD video play pretty well without any lag. I have a bunch of them... try a clearing the data from the app.
You know, you should give us some kind of link or example so we can try some specific thing ourselves instead of just asking whether "videos" work for us or not.

Right, for example give use the Hd Video type you are trying to play...
It happens to me. Here's an example: if I'm at a page that has flash video, I will start seeing the video, hit the button for full screen, and the whole screen turns white, the video does not play.

thanks alot for all you're answers, i tryed a system restore yesterday with no success i already tried to push back and retry fullscreen didnt work as for the 3rd party i'll try that tonight same goes for the link ill post it tonight since im actually at work. Anyway the videos i tried was from animefreak website i tried using a different mirror (different player than megavideo) with same result. Ill keep you updated, thanks
Hitting back does nothing as the prime will freeze on a white screen. App must be rebooted to function properly.
I have seen this problem on pc due to the hardware acceleration option, i wonder if that might have something to do with it. Although it would be weird to have hardware acceleration on a flash player meant for a tablet. I tried to mess with the player settings but found nothing that would help.
Although the stock browsers is not so fun it seems to work so I would just use it until the issue is fixed.

I have the same probleme yesterday. But i have an fix that works for me.
1. First deinstall over Apps the Flash Player.
2. Then install the flashplayer 11 over the market!!!
This is important because, if you open the browser without flash it ask you to install flash and with this package it doesn't work. I dont know why, but only the package in the Market work with fullscreen flashvideos!
I hope i can help you
EDIT:
It work for the first time, after it shown the with screen you describe
EDIT2:
It works, but only in the AndroiBrowser! In the other Browser only a white screen is shown.

I too thought it was my phone..I had still have this issue, three phones later, and it still exists..I use Chrome Browser now and Facebook works fine but wouldn't you think there would be a "fix" for something like this..Problem is, not enough people give a sh*t about this..Just sayin'...
Experiencing same problems with Dolphin Browser HD... anytime I try to go to a specific post (e.g. a status update or a photo) Dolphin freezes up.
Haven't had the same trouble with Chrome; however, for some reason on Chrome all photos are tiny. As in, "I can't identify people" tiny.
