Does the menu appear sluggish to you guys when watching videos on youtube or the stock video player? It doesn't pop up smoothly like when you press the menu button on the phone in other apps. I'm running senseless 1.1. Thanks for any insight into this.

interesting .. i haven't had this issue but i've also only been on the stock rom. i know on previous android devices, streaming video is generally one of the more intensive tasks performed on the phone. if there are any bandwidth issues it could cause studdering/sluggishness. the best way to limit the possibility of a bandwidth bottleneck would be to test it over wifi.
another possibility is the ROM and i'm not familiar with the senseless rom. perhaps in that specific rom's thread, you could pose the question and see if others on that specific rom experience the issue as there might be a bug or some overlooked tweak causing it.
best of luck and hope the issue gets resolved!
When I use the Youtube app on my 3vo, it scrolls smoothly and all, until I begin playing a video on it. Once a video begins playing, when I try to switch tabs when holding the phone in portrait mode, the transitions suddenly become choppy and laggy, whether it be scrolling through comments, or pulling down the notification bar, the entire phone seems to lag once a Youtube video is playing, regardless of it being HD or not. Is anyone else having this issue or have a possible solution? Thanks (Stock ROM)
Maybe upgrade YouTube app.

I believe it already is the newest. 2.3.4 from the market. Do you think it could be a device issue? I've tried wiping 2 times, and the same issue is happening.
No its not device issue. What r u streaming YouTube videos 3/4g or WiFi??

I use WiFi and 3G mainly, but I've experienced the issue regardless of the connection type, and also whether it be in HD or SD format.

Ok are you rooted? Have you cleared cache and data on the app??

I am not rooted, I also cleared the data and cache as you suggested, but I have the same issue. I noticed that when I pause the video, however, it seems to respond faster.. Not as fast as no video playing, but a noticeable improvement over when the video is playing and I attempt to scroll.
I hate to be a downer but this phone does not handle a few things very well, namely the youtube app and it also is slow as hell when you get thousands of texts. I think this is a sense issue personally.
I thought Sense may be the cause to it. I'm not sure if other people are experiencing the issue though, whether it be that a custom ROM solves it or my device is just 'special'..

The problem you are experiencing is universal. Scrolling while watching a video causes lag in the youtube app.

Thank you. I thought it was just my device that did this, because there were no other threads which mentioned this, which I find strange because my old HeroC did it smoothly, and now the 3VO is struggling with it. Do you know if a custom ROM or kernel resolves this?
I have the same problem as well. When playing videos in the youtube app, I get a lot of lag.
I can actually navigate the desktop version of the youtube site with less lag than the youtube app.

I've experienced this problem on numerous ROMs. In regards to kernels, I don't even know. I doubt that a kernel will eliminate the lag, but I'm not one to say.
I am also getting this issue with both youtube and vevo app. When i play videos from my sd card with mx video player, they play flawlessly. So hopefully when ics comes out this problem is fixed.... :/

This is normal and I think it has been posted a few times. Basically it's the lack of gui hardware acceleration on Android gingerbread. If you try out an ICS rom you will see its smoother. Probably not as smooth as you like but smoother than it is on gingerbread.
Don't think its normal. YouTube works fine for me. HD and normal videos play without an issue. Upload and download works fine as well. I'm running SteelH's rom with Chads#50 kernel. Youtube has never giving me a problem in the app or VIA stock browser. So I don't think it has to do with the hard ware acceleration at all. My wife has my old hero and YouTube works fine for her as well. Also my sister and brother both have the EVO4g and youtube works fine for them. Have you guys tried a different version of the app ??? Like an older ver?? Or a newer one ??

I get this issue too, no way is it normal as this is the first phone I have used to have this strange behaviour.

Yeah its weird for me because all my movies and videos that are loaded onto my sd card work great. No lag or issues but when it comes time to YouTube or vevo and even vimeo.... It will lag or skip the video around the end or halfway but the sound keeps playing.. Very frustrating.

If you try the YouTube app on ics it works fine and no lag...
I wish I could go on ics.... But I use the camera and 4g a lot haha

Hello,
I flashed the new, official build of ICS for my U.S. Tab and Netflix has been having issues since I did it. It never had problems before, but now the video consistently freezes when I try to watch. Things run fine at the beginning, but the video stops after like a minute and the audio continues on as normal. This is the only problem I've encountered so far. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
There are a cpl of threads open on this one...have a look around for details. One work around if its freezing on HD is to lower the quality in the app...you could also try clearing cache. Search the forum and you'll find the threads...sorry I'm being lazy, about to run out...good luck!
For me nothing worked but switching to "better quality" in the Netflix account settings (Manage video quality). -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29623239&postcount=40
Ho guys, i'm going Crazy with this issue, please help me....
Idk why, but Yesterday(After have bene using my mate 20 pro since August without any issue) the streaming apps won't show images but only sound. I've tried everyting like clean cache of these apps, unistalling and reinstalling them, i've tried to disable the colour correction(as i've found on internet), no everyting Is update... It seams to me like some protection issue, like if the streaming apps blocks on purpose the video playback for a lack of security(? Idk, but YouTube and now tv works fine).
As you know, the mate 20 pro Is certified wilevine L1 the maximum level of protection.
Please help me, i'm getting really annoyed.
Ps: i've Also checked if some app update have been done in the previous day, and the only one was "Google services for AR" or something similar, but disabling hit haven't solved anything.
Have you tried running the app in battery save mode? i read someone else had this issue and it worked for them. Hope this helps
Do you mean the mode you can change in smartphone settings? If so, yes and nothing changed, i've tried everyting less an hard reset that i want ti avoid as much as possible. It seams to me like prime video, Netflix and infinity turn the screen black becouse they think you are recording the screen, there Is a way tu run an app and kill all other process?
Thank you
Hi i have the Same Problem but only with Netflix. Prime is okay. Only Sound with black Screen.
I have solved the problem. Idk why, but switching from"intelligent mode" in the display resolution panel, in settings, to HD fixed the problem. Try to set HD, open Netflix and see if It works, than change again to full HD or quadHD. At Moment i'm using quad HD settings, and i'm no more facing the black screen problem. I've not tried the intelligent mode again.
Hope It can help you aswell.
Ps: try Also to disable color correction in settings accessibilities. For someone It worked, not in my case.
Thanks, the solution was Like you Said, Switch to FHD+ .now all Work. :fingers-crossed:
Hello the Problem is back. After testing a while i found an other solution. I added the 2 apps which only shows black Screen and Sound (Netflix and Amazon Prime) in the settings of Fluid ng .

I also have the black video problem on YouTube or Prime Video. I think it's related to some overlaying apps on top of the video. When I use a speedcam overlay on top of other windows I noticed that the video goes black. I also often use split windows, so I need to clear the split windows and restarts the video for the orientation to go away. The resolution of the phone does not make a difference.
I have been experiencing this weird bug where after a day or two, videos inside apps like prime video, youtube, vanced stop working (tested only these). The video works fine when I open youtube in browser but these app seem like stuck in a loading state. Even funnier thing is that I couldn't record my screen when this happens. The screen recording floating window hangs as well. The only thing that I know fixes this is a restart.
Please help me out guys. If you want then I can record the screen using another device.
Haven't faced anything like this on my nord 2. I advice you to do a factory reset and do check whether you are in the latest build or not.
I am facing similar issue please someone help
