Tonight I was trying to watch some videos on YouTube. I was able to watch some videos, but others force close as soon as I click on the video. It seems to be specific channels, but I can't say for sure. I tried clearing the cache and data with no success. I backed up the app with Titanium Backup and uninstalled and tried to download from the market but it doesn't show up for the Nexus (or my Xoom running or ICS so I guess its an ICS thing).
When I tried to restore with titanium, it took forever longer than normal and didn't restore the app, it just stayed at the screen saying restoring. I ended up having to restore my nandroid from the other day.
Has anyone had similar issues in YouTube? What about with restoring apps in titanium? I also had similar behavior with titanium earlier today when I tried to integrate the Google Maps update into my system ROm. Titanium stayed in the operation screen for a long time and never seemed to finish. However, after a reboot, it was no longer listing Google maps as an app with an update that could be integrated into the ROM, leading me to believe the operation actually did finish.
Edit: it appears the same videos are crashing YouTube on my Xoom too. Still no idea why the titanium backup issues are happening though.
WAIT ITS NOT JUST ME?
Thank god. I think its a problem on Youtube's end. I can't even get my subbed videos in the Home tab.
It FC when I click on HD videos.
Same thing happening here. The app also does not recognize my subscriptions, but my favorites show up fine.

yeh happening to me too
first my subscriptions were gone
then videos were crashing when i was searching for tennis videos (search term was 'wta') and a lot of videos were crashing from that result.
will watch this thread with interest
thanks
Am experiencing the same problem on 4 different mobile (galaxy tablets & phones) devices.
Subcriptions not showing up
Some Videos force closing etc.
All was fine yesterday.
Googled the issues and discovred that Youtube are forcing some changes.
It's happening to me also. First I thought it was a new mod I was testing out but it's also happening on my wife's stock Incredible.
I thought I'd be happier knowing it wasn't just my problem but the truth is, I'd just like to watch some videos.. lol
wow, while it's nice to know it's not my device kirking out, it would be nicer if it would just work. i don't have any solution, so just hoping youtube addresses it soon. maybe this is why youtube app isn't in the market for ics devices--it's not compatible yet. Although I am fairly certain that it was working just a few days ago.

Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with newest version of Youtube app, that has GUI same as on ICS. The problem is, sometimes, when scrolling thru vids, it lags, the scrolling isnt smooth and when i sometimes click on video, app says is fell down. So i'll have to downgrade. Someone got the older APK with the old gui?
Everything is fine for me. Have you tried reinstalling? :/
Yeah, happened on many roms i used.
I too have the same issue. I just deleted it. Then reinstalled from market then us titanium backup to restore data only to it. Solved my problem

I am starting to lose my mind on this one. I know about the whole TB issues when the phone first came out. But I can not get a couple apps to just work. Candy crush, Siriusxm and probably another one somewhere just crashes.
I have completely formatted the phone and started over with fresh downloads from the play store with the same results. Everything else on the phone works fine, just a couple of apps just crash.
Am I missing something? I am about to smash this thing.

This is actually a simplier fix than you think, but still annoying. It's a problem with the old data. THIS is how i fixed it.
Ran TB. Put all my note 2 stuff on my note 3.
Waited for apps to crash and made note of which ones crashed.
Went to the play store, uninstalled and installed the apps one by one.
No more FC's.
Hope this works for you.

Ok, now i see why you are so fustrated. Sorry I was of no help. wiped dalvik and the apps are still crashing after dl from the store, shouldn't happen period. Reboot your phone and see if you can get a logcat of the crash.
I have some that crash too. Hanging with Friends is on that always crashes on first open, then I have for FC, and if I open it right away after that it works. I've also noticed that some apps from the Play Store say they are not compatible with the phone. When I go to all apps, and go through my list I can't install some. The strange thing is I know it's not because of 4.3 since I have the same app installed on my GSII running 4.3, so maybe it has something to do with the proccessor, or screen size? Got me, but you're not alone.
Have the apps been updated to support 4.3?

I have the Note 3
I am having crashing problems with Google store, FB messenger(aka chat heads),google +,Kingdoms of Camelot and some others but not as much. Cleaared the cache and data and helps for a bit. I really dont want to factory reset this and it ends up doing nothing.
Any suggestions, please
Allan
What apps and crashing as in you get notice that the app has crashed?
NOTE 3
Xscope Pro browser crashes alot.... its totally random tho, it'll crash on a site but when i visit the same site again its fine. unfortunately it hasn't been updated in a long time so its probably not playing nicely with 4.3.
not really getting any other crashes
Ok so I'm using my free trial of play music all access and I love it but question, when I select to "Keep Music on Device" and it says it's downloading, does that mean I get to keep it permanently? Even after the trial is up?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
No. Only music you buy is kept. However, if you are a music addict like I am, the 9 bucks is worth it. If you don't renew your subscription, your music will disappear. If you start using all access again, your music will come back.

Is Google Music finally working properly on stock ROMs? I remember the app was plagued with the "Music Cannot Be Played" issue, no matter what sort of connection you had. I've switched over to CM 10.2 and it works flawlessly now, but just wondering if any of the updates Google's released has fixed the issue.

Worked well when I was on stock zvc and Optimus. On KitKat now and works well too.

I just flashed back to stock today, and I have noticed that Play Music is better, but I still have issues. It will let me play a few songs (I got through 5) and I get the Music Playback Error. When I try to resume, it gives me the error immediately, but if I rewind the song, it allows me to play a few more songs.
I am going to try and disable caching and see how that affects it.
All of my testing thus far has been on Wifi (20Mbps fiber connection), so it definitely is not an internet issue.
Yeah the errors started up again for me too, but much more infrequently. Still frequent enough to be a huge nuisance though

I have logged a case with Google Play Support. They had me go through clearing app data, etc. Of course, this didn't work, so they asked for a logcat. I sent them two logs showing multiple occurrences of the error.
So far, they have been very responsive. I sent the ticket in yesterday evening and got a response within 15 minutes. Hopefully, their engineering team can figure out what is going on from my logcats.

Something similar happened when I logged a complaint... 4 months ago. Not to be cynical, I just can't help it.
Hm yeah I think I'll stick with CM10.2, it's extremely stable at this point for me, zero issues, and Google Music works flawlessly.
I had this problem as well. Ended up switching to rhapsody until the issue is resolved,

How the Netflix app running, smooth?
Netflix runs great on mine. Depending on your connection. If I use my phone for connection and in Sprint spark territory I receive HD content. Same for home network.
Yes Netflix is gorgeous on the 10.5. Give it about 30 seconds or so for the HD movie to buffer and it looks incredible.
The Netflix and youtube apps have been optimized by Samsung for this device. They look spectacular. It's third party video apps that suffer with extreme Pixelation and ghosting in dark scenes. Such as Crackle, Cable Provider Apps and other streaming services.
Mine doesn't even let me activate it, I mean, I'm just entering the app for the first time, when I enter my Email and password is telling me that the device can't be activated, I called Netflix and the only thing they told me was to uninstall it and reinstall it and when I told them that this one came pre-installed that I can't uninstall it just turn it off, he didn't even know what to tell me.
They are telling me to contact Samsung, so go figure...

Please call Netflix and/or Samsung so they know that this isn't an isolated problem and worth together to fix it.
I called Samsung and basically told me to reset to factory, I asked them if they guarantee me that doing that will fix my issue and they couldn't, so I told them that I wasn't in the mood of just wasting hours that took me to set this today just to see if that fixes it and if at least they have a reliable backup solution where I could simply reset and restore I'd do it, but not with the joke they call Kies, and that I have had all their Galaxies s, both Gears and now the Tab S, so I do like them but must admit that their backup solution is a joke and is a shame that they seem to not care about do something at least like LG has.
I called back Netflix and this time they were asking and escalating the call and in waiting for a call back.
Just for curiosity and trying to cover all the bases, are you on the Continental US? I live in Puerto Rico and I'm just wondering if this could be some Region issue.
Just to let you know that after trying all day at the office where I'm the System Manager so I have full online access as usual with all my previous and actual android devices, and after talking to Samsung and Netflix guys I just cane home and guess what, I could activate Netflix without a hiccup, so what can be different with this Netflix app on this Tablet that is the first device that I couldn't activate the Netflix app but everything else was working perfectly, even more, I used the OEM browser and Chrome and went to Netflix and login from there and saw everything perfectly, so the proviene was always the Netflix App.
Let me wait for Netflix call as they haven't call yet and see what they think after I explain this to them.
The Netflix app has worked flawlessly for me from day 1.
Netflix worked for me right from the get go and it was one of the first things I tried when I got my 8.4".
The picture looks great, I'm not even sure what the highest resolution one can stream using Netflix.
I was able to get it working as well. I went into the application manager and uninstalled the update. Then, let it reupdate from the Google Play store and it worked fine.

They never called me yesterday, but after trying at home and worked I'm sure they just re-adjusted something on their end, that's the only explanation why suddenly it worked after not working for a full day, I'm assuming that they just changed something and let me try it again by myself instead of call me, that can explain why yours is working now also. I did what you are mentioning here about 5 times and nothing worked before, so if now is working then maybe something was changed after my couple of calls.

Netflix streams 4k video now, breaking bad, and ghostbusters I know for sure are 4k. I don't know if it will convert or look better though on the Samsung tab S? Let me know if you notice any difference?
I picked up the 8.4 S yesterday and I think it's clear that this is the best device for Netflix I have ever used. I checked out both the 8.4 and the 10.5 at the dealer and felt that the 8.4 was superior due to the pixel density giving it a sharper look.
To some extent I didn't feel the 10.5 was any better than the Note 10.1 2014 and I have always felt that video was a bit blurry on the larger screens. The display density on the 8.4 is just perfect and Netflix and Youtube are impressive.
I got the 10.5. 32Gb. Love it. No problem seeing up Netflix. When I started the the stock Netflix app it requested an update. After that it run smoothly.

I noticed some of you said that Netflix was already installed. For some reason mine wasn't.
I wonder why?
As I thought there was an exclusive Netflix app for the tab s. If I download Netflix from play store is it the same app?
Also for those that have the Netflix app pre installed is it not deletable then?
Mine came with Netflix pre installed. I can't delete it, only uninstall the updates.

For some reason my YouTube stopped working after I think about 2 updates ago. When it first stopped working I wasn't worried and figured the next update would probably fix it, but that hasn't happened (I currently have v5.9.4.9). It starts but nothing loads it just continually shows the loading icon (I also tried searching thinking that may work and didn't). I tried clearing cache and data and force stop then re-opening but that did nothing also.
Any ideas?

@Paulx777 the current version of Youtube app is 5.9.0.13 - update it and see what happens.
Tbh the Youtube app has never been bug free on my tablet, at first it had exactly as you describe nothing would load - I did all sorts and finally figured out it was my wifi router being the problem so try a different wifi connection and see what happens.
Once that was fixed it would take ages to load and now it no longer updates my history. I just think this tablet and youtube aint the best of friends haha.
P.s. is 777 in your name refering to Boeing 777? Jus curious lol.

It's definitely something wrong with the YouTube update because I went in and clicked "Uninstall Updates" and whatever version it reverted back to worked perfectly. Plus, if you look at YouTube's Google Play ratings/reviews, a lot of people have been giving the update one star our dropping their rating from five stars to one for the same reasons...YouTube doesn't load, they get no picture and only hear sound, etc. And there's a bunch of complaints, they can't all be from Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition owners.
P.S. no, when I created the sn I put in Paul7 (I play baseball and 7 is my number) but it wasn't available, so this was what was available.
