Hullo, chaps
Well, My case is the following:
My Phone screen died because I let it fall too many times, and the last one lits pf people ran over it at a party XD. It was an LG L5 II.
I decided to get a new one, but I wanted the same model and brand beacuse I was really satisfied with it. So I went to buy a new one. I bought and updated its software (At that time I had no idea the update made video fail).
My phone came with YouTube 4.5.17, which works perfectly but I wanted to have the new features, so, a few days later I bought and updated it, I upgraded YouTube app from Play-store (to 5.17.6) and it stopped working, videos kind of charged but never playbacked. I tried everything. Signing in and out, clearing cache, deleting data, rebooting, cleaning ram, cleaning junk, deleting dalvik-cache, delete all app cache, virus checking, even Youtube troubleshouting, checked if played in 3g and so on. Nothing worked.
Then I had the brilliant idea that if I installed an older version of YouTube it may work, so I took my older phone (same brand and model but the screen is not working) and copied the YouTube app (5.7.38), that was working in that phone and has the feature I like (the one you can search while watching videos) but it didn't work, the same problem with playback. I tried everything again, but again nothing worked.
So, thinking it was a hardware problem, I went to the shop and changed my phone for another one. I tested youtube and it worked. I updated youtube app and it worked. So I came back home happy. Here I updated my software... then youtube didn't stop working. And finally I applied two fxcking patches. And after that... the same problem.
Just now I realised that the problem was not the YouTube app nor the hardware, but the patches LG provided through its software update app.
What can I do. How can I roll back those specific patches?
I felt so stupid, but I had no way how to prove it was the patches.
I was tons of hours today at the shop trying to change my device and I won't go again.
Screenshots attached to show the problem.
Thanks in advance.

since installing the new market i've noticed that after reboots sometimes i have to reupdate apps that i updated maybe even days before.
anyone else?
Are you sure the apps are rolling back are you "have" to "re-update" them or is there just a new update available for these apps? It isn't uncommon for a developer to have an update pushed out then realize (after it's running on a large sampling of phones) that it broke something else or a new bug has popped up and, therefore, release a new update.
Check the version number (bottom of the market description) and see if you are in fact needing to reinstall the update.
positive.
today after a reboot i had 10 "new" updates and they had all been updated either earlier this morning or in the past 2 days.
and some of those had already been updated twice.
and when looking at the recent changes nothing was newer than the last update.
I've noticed the same thing as well. Thought it was just groundhog day or something! Tried clearing the Market's cache and it didn't make a difference.

another problem.
it seems to also lose saved contacts that are new if you haven't had them backup over google yet.
some real issues with internal storage somehow?
Hello.
I've had my Motorola [Electrify] for about a year now, and a few months after getting it, started having problems with the camera, playing music, and not receiving notification sounds. For the camera, I it would look as though it was starting, and then go back to the home screen with a flash saying "Camera cannot initialize." (or something to that effect.) When I would try to play music, it would stop and say "Sorry, the play does not support this type of audio format." It was MP3. And I would sometimes not receive notification sounds. I have been researching and battling this issue for months when suddenly yesterday, I read that for people whose camera wouldnt work, they went into the main settings and clear data for the camera, and the gallery. It worked. Camera worked and so did playing mp3s. Well, today it started not working again. This time I only cleared data for the gallery, and again everything worked like it should. I did root the phone several months ago, using Photon Torpedo. First, I wonder if using that method, if I may have messed something up. Anyone hear of this sort of thing? But then again, I am sure I had problems with this before I rooted. Second, I wonder if anyone knows a specific correlation between malfunctions and the gallery app. Third, would freezing the gallery app with Titanium Backup cripple functionality of the phone/media, and would it work to keep these malfunctions from happening?
Sorry for being long winded, but hoping I'm on to something here.
Thank you.
I posted that a few days ago, but in a different forum, (wrong phone forum) but now today I find out that clearing data in gallery was only a temporary fix, as today it did not work. This is the second or third time I thought I found a connection, but was wrong. Does anyone else have this problem and come up with an actual fix? For the life of me, I cannot figure out what the root cause of this problem is. Thank you.
I haven't heard of it. Have you tried a factory reset?

Wifes photon doing exactly same thing. what apps you have installed. maybe we can narrow it down. I did a factory reset, flashed a different rom, then installed all her apps back on. worked correctly for 3 days then no notification sounds, camera wont open and can t veiw videos on facebook or youtube. reboot the phone and all is well for a few days then the problem comes back.
Hi there,
I really hope I posted in the right section, as I'm new to this place and, even though I read some of the guidelines around, I'm still not sure. Anyway, I have a problem with my phone, an Alcateo OT 6030X (which is known around here as Orange San Remo - I'm from Romania). I just bought the phone a few days ago from someone, and while everything seemed fine at first, I came across a problem with its video camera.
When I switch to video, I get an icon on the top of the screen that allows me to select some video effect [big moth, big eyes, stretched face], but when I activate one of them, the camera just freezes, and sometimes the whole phone too. I tried a full factory reset the other days and everything worked correctly until last night. I even checked that specific feature yesteday morning and it was working perfectly, but last night it just froze again. I did install some apps I commonly use yesterday, so my suspicion is that one of the apps is to blame. I have attached the details of my phone, as well as all the apps I currently have.
Any help is apprecieted. Thank You!
Nobody?
Me and my wife purchased z2 together last year. But ever since I flashed my z2 for cm, and get back to stock rom again, randomly my vedios wont play in YouTube and Facebook app. In the browser they play. untill I restart app wont play videos. My wife's one is working fine. I tried crealing cache and resetting those applications, logged out of YouTube and lodged in, tried us, UK, HongKong roms, nothing works. first few days it would be fine, then again the problem keep coming back. Every time I had to restart for the temporary solution or needed to use browsers instead. Any idea/solution?
I had this problem, but the latest roms fixed it, I'm running a ROM based on .264 Firmware and I'm not having this problem anymore.
When using the front facing camera for video, the app will record while pressing the button and as soon as I let go, it force closes. Once I re-open the app and go to the next page to play the video, it's upside down.
I have gone to extreme measures and completely wiped the phone and re-installed Instagram and it does the same thing. It doesn't seem to be a conflicting app issue at this point so I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue? Thanks.
I had every app the used the camera (Amazon, facebook, snapchat, instagram, camera, etc) force close on my. I replaced my phone through T-Mobile after they thought it was defective since performing a factory reset did not do anything to correct the issue

Did you get the new one? How's it working? Mine is T-Mo too. Out of curiosity, was yours a pre-order and what color was it? Want to see if there's any trend.
Mine was a black preorder. The new one comes today. I'm hoping it just works. I've read a few reports here and Reddit about camera issues so hopefully its isolated to only a few units. Seems like most of the people on here like the phone and its working for them.
I'm in the process of downloading the stock firmware and reflashing to see if that works. I'll update when complete.
I tried to Odin with the firmware I found out there and the latest version of Odin. I got to the the part where Odin said passed, then phone went to update and aborted. So I did another factory reset and now it seems fine. Slowly installing apps to eliminate conflicts...let's see what happens.
My new one was just delivered. I was going to try to smart switch again tonight. If that does not work I might skip this upgrade.
With the replacement (new) S9+ i received yesterday I have not had this issue yet. I've only been using the phone for about 12 hours so far.
After the factory reset from the update menu (power button+volume up+Bixby) instead of the one in the pull down tools menu, I'm all good.
Now I can go back to making annoying Instagram posts. ?
