Anyone have else have utube problem
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Thats a pretty vague question. What problem in particular are you wondering if anyone else is having?
I have zero problems with my ET4G and youtube, but a friend bought one after playing with mine and his phone wouldn't load any youtube videos. It would just sit there with the circle/loading icon.

Mine sits at the beginning with the circle spinning for a long time and then when it plays a lit of times it craps out about 50-75% of the way through the video. It kinda sucks.

Touchscreen ghost?

Hi guys,
I've had my G-Nex for a few days, and mostly love it - but on two occasions now, the touchscreen has acted up. I'd put the phone down, and for a few minutes, it'd randomly select things on the screen with me nowhere near ( the other day it kept opening the People app). But a minute later, it'll be fine. Touch inputs are flawless when I'm actually using the phone. It's totally random.
Anyone else with such an issue?

I never had any problem like that. It's just a thought but do you put your phone where there might be magnetic interference nearby, like another electronic device? I'm not sure if this can happen with phones but some types of touch input can go crazy because of that.

If you are telling me next that it only happens while 2G is being used..
I had the same thought, but both times the phone was on WiFi, in my house. I've not once had the volume problem, and am also on Orange (1800mhz)...which, so far, seems unaffected by the volume ghost.

I don't want people to think that i am a general moaner, but it did happen to me the first day i got it whilst i was viewing cached apps is the settings menu. Its like your finger is still on the screen. I haven't experienced it since though.
Something like this happened to me with the Nook Color. As far as I know, it's not a known issue for that device so I'm guessing there was some interference I was not aware of. UFO's maybe.
My Palm Pre+ is doing this constantly. I will be pretty upset if I get the Galaxy Nexus and it does the same.

[Q] Temperature

Hi Folks.
Does anyone have any idea what a safe operating temperature for the Samsung Epic Touch 4G is?
I most recently have been using the usb to hdmi converter to play shows to my TV and then running a VNC Server on the phone so I can control the Epic from my laptop to pause, play, etc. while the phone is setting by the TV.
This works great, but with the video and the server running the Epic gets up to 42 to 46 degrees C.
I have felt phones get hotter, but I don't want to damage my phone either. It cooled down to 32 degrees C pretty fast after using it as a media center.
Any opinions or technical knowledge? I ran it for a few hours, and am hoping I did not cause any permanent damage.
I know epic 1 shut down at like 110° f. might be too low, but mime got so hot on halloween after using as projection for our haunted house. Bricked the phone until I factory reset it...played movie fine, just boot lopped.

I think I took the Touch to like 114F. I did not notice the phone misbehaving at all, and it cooled down fast enough. (Well not entirely true. It kinda froze up, but that happens everytime I unhook it from the TV, seems my ADW Launcher gets glitchy when using with TV, don't think related to heat.) I think the reason it really heated up was due to using as vnc server, would not even gain charge. Yesterday when I just streamed the video to the TV without vnc, it stayed charged and seemed cooler.
The phone you used for a projection, was it the Epic or the Epic Touch? And after doing the factory reset, did you notice any issues? Slower, freezing, etc.?
Just Bumping this...
Hoping to get some more incite into the Epic Touch temperature specifications.
Thanks in advance
Bump one more time. Anyone?

I think that the phone shuts down beforehand but it would be nice to know what that number is.

Thanks for the reply John.
I would think so too. Just curious as doing the streaming etc to the TV is very convenient but not worth damaging the phone. I really think its ok to do so though, the phone has been at 40-42C with normal use. Running a bit above that has not seemed to harm it.

I think I had a run in with a rogue app the other day. My battery was draining unusually fast and I plugged it in to charge, but it was charging very slowly and the temp got up to 120F according to the widget I'm using. I rebooted and everything has been fine since.

Often times (I mean, very often) when I go to grab and use my phone I can tell by touch that it's hot and check the battery temp - those times it's usually 106° F and higher. I could tell you now that seeing my temp at 110° to 115° F doesn't surprise me at all. What kills me is that most of these times I'm not actively doing anything with the phone - I've just pulled it out of my pocket and think, damn, it's hot again.
A couple of weeks ago I updated the Widget Locker app to the latest version to try out the Honeycomb and Ice Cream lock screens, so after updating I played around with it for a while. My phone started getting hot - as in HOTTER than I'm used to. I checked the temp and it was screaming hot at 122°. What's worse is that it kept getting hotter and when I checked my battery monitor app it was definitely Widget Locker that was driving it up there. I powered off, let the battery cool a bit then rebooted. I plugged in the phone to regain some charge and checked it a little while later to see it was really, really hot again. Now at some point it was so hot it would NOT charge - stating this explicitly. I pulled the battery to let it cool and tried again later. This happened about 3-4 times before I said screw it and uninstalled Widget Locker all together. Hasn't done that again since.
So, if it helps you at all, temps around 110° - 115° have been fine for me. Over 120° would start to concern me and I think it stops charging and gives you a warning at 130°.
I've attached some photos of that particular instance. The last photo shows my temp distribution... I'm assuming all the time, and it surprised me at being an avg of 88°.
Thanks Beans! That was very useful information. I feel mich better now. Thats to bad about Widget Locker. I have used that app on occasion. I have not had a problem yet with it getting to hot on its own. But if it does I will assume its a troublesome app. Thanks again!

I used to have a problem with Widget Locker in earlier versions but the updated versions have been much more battery friendly and my phone doesn't seem to get hot from it. I am using a custom slider that someone from XDA made though but I don't think that should matter

problems when charging.

so I am on stock rooted el29. I seem to have lines moving up and down my screen sometimes when charging. they are very faint and best seen on a white background. anyone else have this happen? I have had other people check to make sure it wasnt just me. and its not thankfully. just wondering if someone else had it and got worse. this is already my second one.
Never seen that before.

ya im thinking it might be a defect. but it will be hard trying to show the guys at sprint. it only happens sometimes and its while charging.

Home buttons color

Alright guys and girls here is the problem....
On my gnex basically the three on screen buttons are purple when I press them. The home button...the multi tasking and the back button. It isn't just the buttons but the whole little strip of screen where the on screen buttons are located turn purple. I don't know what has caused this...I have had this phone for about eight months now and I have been using the phone a daily basis everyday.
Now recently I had downloaded this game called "shadow gun: deadzone" and I have noticed that after a few minutes of playing the game the device gets really hot... Especially the screen... I'm having a feeling the over use of the phones digitizer is causing the discoloration of the lower part of the screen. Any ideas will be of great help, thanks.

Alright I figured out that after a while of just using the gnex, the screen just starts overheating and miscolors in places... This usually happens when playing a lot of high-pixilated games. If anyone else has similar problems please report.

[Q] Low brightness screen flicker

I got my nexus 7 today, but around 30% brightness the screen will start to flicker like a candle and it's pretty unbearable. I was wondering if this was a softwarw problem that could be fixed or whether I should just exchange it for another one.

Same problem if the environment light is not stable, the light sensor is so sensitive that will make the problem happen. The Nexus 7 1st has this problem too. The AUSU' offical explanation said that the problem is normal situation. Unbelievable!!!
hmm.. I dont see to have this issue? Are you able to provide steps to replicate it?

No I'm not, it happened today while I was visiting a friend. I just dropped my brightness down to about 30% and this horrible flickering just started, I got home today and I can't seem to replicate the problem.
Taking it back on Saturday anyways because I was watching a movie and oh god, I got some BAD light bleed.

I haven't seen a lot of this reported at all really. Before you return, if you could, take a short video of the issue happening. I'd be curious to see what it looks like. It does sound like a bad panel, though; so definitely let us know how the new one works out.
I just got my nexus today and have experienced this flicker issue within 10 minutes of use , I'm happy to say I immediately came to my trusty xda app for answers and as usual found one !! Seeing that I'm not the only one having this issue I'm thinking its a hardware problem.

I read about this here or some place else and if I remember they said not to lower brightness below 40 for those with the issue.

This is exactly what happened to me, also I can reproduce it while having my brightness in the 20-50% range while having a subpar wifi signal.
