this.
the streaming audio fix (for pandora and whatnot) breaks youtube mobile, but the app should still work fine.

It's actually via both. I've tried restarting the phone, deleting the app and re-installing with no luck.

reinstalling from market, or TB?

Via market, not to sure what tb is.

TB = Titanium Backup; for restoring apps
Been having a similar issue. Youtube plays but sometimes stops halfway and says that it cannot be played.

Man I was trying to show off the video quality using the youtube hd functionality and it made me look bad lol. I guess ill go with the YouTube broken thing the other guy suggested.

Market problems?

Alright I have no clue what's going on here... My market isn't opening at all, it's not even force closing, it just automatically closes. Here's the scary thing, this even happens after flashing a recovery that's known to work fine. I have reinstalled gapps, I've wiped data via TB, I have tried everything I can think of to fix this and the market still closes. I have no clue what to do. Help? TIA
And I just tried going to market.android.com to see if that works and it now says I don't have any phones connected to my account (this feature has worked fine before)

This happened to me last night. It happened to me after I did a full wipe and flash of build 35, so I nandroided back and did a nowipe flash of build 35, and it oddly worked fine. Try using an earlier build, I would say 33/34 and before.

Alright, I'll try that tomorrow (currently studying for an insane strength of materials exam) and see if it works. BTW, this happened shortly after I flashed the latest CM nightly. Shortly after (about 10 minutes) two things happened: I got an error saying google talk couldn't be authenticated and then the market wouldn't open (although I downloaded and installed a few things before that with the same rom).

I hadn't tried google talk when I had the issue so I don't know. Do you by any chance have custom mtd partitions, say, with a 1.5 mb /cache?

Nope, stock partitions

Hmm. Some market issues were caused by a practically nonexistent cache partition. It's probably just a bug, I would try earlier builds or restoring a nandroid or something. It'll get resolved before it's released as a release candidate I'm sure.

Well here's the thing, right now I'm on build 23 which has been very stable for me. This problem happened on build 37 and then I nandroided back to this backup and its doing the same thing. I'm going to try to flash without wiping data and see if that works

That's incredibly strange. Maybe it's something going on with google's systems. Try flashing cm6.1.1 stable and see if the market works there, then wipe and flash build 23 again and see if it does it. If it still does it, check to see if the market auto updated, go to settings>applications>manage applications>all apps tab, scroll to market, and see if there are updates to it. If so, press uninstall updates. I read about a week ago that the market had an update that broke functionality, but it was only supposed to affect 1.6 devices, not 2.1+. Weird.

FIXED! Here's what I did:
Full wipe
Reflashed build 37
signed in as [email protected]!!! I was lazy and only put my username, which was not linked to the market, so it had no clue what to do when I tried signing in to the market. That was all. Just an FYI to fix this you MUST run the start procedure again, that's the only way to fix this.
What a pain in the butt...

Nevermind, I restarted and it came back... weird. It might have to do with TB, actually, because it didn't happen until I restored my TB backup... Looks like I'm going to have to start over in the world of android.. oh well

Yeah it's not a big deal, as long as I can still download apps and use chrome-to-phone I'm good (oh and gmail... geez if that was down I don't know what I'd do, lol). Thanks for your help regardless!

Chrome to phone hasn't worked for me since cm6 :/
In fact, I'm experiencing battery drain and the broken download manager is beginning to get to me so I MAY go back to cm6 for a few days but it's just so irresistible to stay on cm7 with the added features and such. Plus I don't feel like redoing my settings.

Can't stream videos

Hi. I have a problem with my GIO: Anytime I try to stream a video from YouTube, it works fine for a 2 or 3 minutes and then it locks up. I know it's not a bandwidth issue, as this happens even when there's still plenty of buffered video left to be played. It simply freezes. I can move the seekbar for a few seconds, and then it locks up completely. Not even the back key works. The only thing I can do is press Home and then use the Task Manager to kill the app.
This happens in both the stock browser and the YouTube app (latest version). I tried another YT player from the market (Freedi) and it performed the same.
I'm currently using stock firmware XXKTK (the latest for my country - Romania), but I was having the exact same issues with the factory XXKPA and the Open Germany XXKTF.
Has anyone else had this issue? Thank you.

Anyone?

Bump...
Anyone? I can't be the only one having this issue...

Downgrade your Youtube App

Clear cache/user data and then try

Mind.BLOW, I already tried that, nothing changed.
@avilove4u: It was the same on several (stock) firmwares, so I doubt that's the issue.

UPDATE: I just installed the most recent official FW (Taiwan I think) and the EXACT SAME happened. I really don't understand why.
Hasn't anyone else had this problem?

No, it's clearly not the bandwidth. As I said i my first post, it often locks up when there's still buffered video to be played. And then the app locks up completely. I can't even exit by normal means. So it's not the connection.

I'm already running the stock FW. And yes, I've reflashed it with Odin. I also tried 3 other different versions of stock FW, without installing anything else. EXACTLY the same...
I also tried clearing YT's data & cache. You guessed it: same thing.

I've also tried a CM7-based ROM (Touchwizzed) and it didn't improve at all...
I really don't understand what's wrong with it.

Thats just the youtube app being buggy

You have the problem when using wifi and 3g?
Because I had a similar problem with my HTC magic (there was also a buffered part loaded but stopped playing). I was always fighting with the wifi connection of my router.
You can try to test on an other wifi connection.

Facebook (build 132866) won't stop downloading

I get this notification that says it's downloading. But when I go to app info. It's from downloads instead of the Play Store. I don't know what it is. When I disable the app. Everything stops working; Play store, Chrome, Facebook, etc. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem?

I didn't download anything. I noticed it on my way home. It initiated randomly. And it won't finish, or even stop. It isn't showing in the downloads either.
****edit
I found it in the downloads a couple hours after the problem started. I don't have a full solution, which sucks.

Might be it is sync ur gallery with fb photos. Uninstall app and reinstall.

I'm experiencing this exact problem, also initiated on its own. I uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook but that did not affect the perpetual downloading of this. Nor have several phone restarts, etc.

solution!!!
I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.

Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?

I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.

Easy fast simple solution when this occurs and usually after an update. Just uninstall the app completely and then go back to google play store and redownload the app.
Have a great day!

I have been tried all the way ( clear, uninstall update etc) but still error... I tried to install other program 'tubemate' still cant connect /play the video, but when i download the video first and play later is no problem..
Maybe something wrong with my data package on my carrier??? Hmmm..

:good::good::good::good::good::laugh:

wow thanks for this. It's been driving me insane. I removed Adblock Plus and it worked. So I installed AdAway and rebooted. Seems to still work fine also. So try that ad blocking app out. So far so good.

Solved ! ( apparently not related to AdBlockPlus)
To make a long story short, I don't have AdBlockPlus but i DO have DroidWall installed.
just forgot I had to allow "MediaServer" to access the internet (as well as YouTube of course) - problem solved.

This has been happening to me. I fixed it by going to manage apps. YouTube, Delete cache, delete data, uninstall updates and I clicked the turn off button. Ran cleanmaster app and removed junk files. Then I rebooted and turned youtube back on and now videos will play. I'm on the Galaxy S4 stock.
Hopefully this helps someone
By the way Facebook wouldn't play any videos it would say "can't play video" and now Facebook is playing the same videos that it couldn't before.

It's happening to me now too. But since mine's installed as a User App and not a System App, I can't just uninstall the updates, although I did try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling. No joy.
I've tried a dozen different things. You should know that lots of people post lots of "solutions", but for 95% of the users, none of them work.
I'm hurting especially bad, because it happens to me on both types of connections (4G & WiFi). I even tried a 3rd party YouTube app and that wouldn't work either.
All this since today's (or last night's?) v10.25.57 YouTube update!
I am running a Samsung.

Hi,
I tried disabling AdAway and reverting back to the original Hosts file, but no joy.
This time, it's affecting both my 4G & WiFi connections. When this happened before, I could at least watch it on 4G.
The weird thing is, that if I'm not signed in, I can watch videos. But once I sign in, EVEN WHEN USING A 3RD PARTY YOUTUBE APP, I have the problem!
Yes, eventually a YouTube update will come through that will fix it (could be 6 months or so), but I'm thinking that something "underneath" it all got updated/changed at the same time, because otherwise;
Why would it affect me only when I sign in?
And if it was limited to only the YouTube app being updated and there isn't anything else being changed at the same time in the background where you don't see it, then how could 3rd party YouTube apps be affected when you sign in to them with your Google (Gmail) account?
See what I mean? Something else, "under the hood" simply must be going on, amen?
