Youtube App/Browser - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I am running ParanoidAndroid 1.9.8 in Tablet UI mode. I downloaded the Youtube app from the play store and when I start up the app all looks fine. I understand that there are some issues playing HD videos on a mobile devices, but if I play a non-HD video the video starts playing as normal and after about 15-20 seconds my phone crashes. And by crashes I mean the JB loading screen appears and the phone starts up. It does not do a complete reboot where the white HTC screen appears just the JB screen appears. And this happens whether I am in the app or in the browser. Keep in mind I am fairly new to Android (converted from iPhone) 3 months ago, and just rooted a couple of weeks ago, so I don't know all the android jargon yet but I am learning. I have been searching for anyone else with this same problem to no avail. So after all that rambling, my questions would be: Is this a rom issue or a known app/browser issue that I can't find a resolve on? Has anyone else had this issue on this rom or any other roms? Or can someone point me in the right direction, since I can't seem to find anyone else describing the same issue I am having.

This is an issue with all the jb Roms as far as I know, like most other new systems it takes a little bit for all the kinks to be worked outbut with all our awesome devs I'm sure it won't take long

Got to Settings ->Developer Options and disable the HW overlays. You will have to do this every reboot but it should help YouTube performance

youtube constantly failing to play.

when froyo ota was first released I installed it and everything was fine but I kept having problems with youtube. some videos would play but most would say sorry this video cannot be played. I did a factory reset and still got the same problem. the only change i have done is the move any apps2sd mid. could this be the cause. as anyone else experienced this?
Same thing here. I don't think it's anything you have done, the app just sucks. I had a HTC Hero with 1.5 with this problem. Then, upgraded to 2.1 and the problem was gone. Now, with HTC Desire I'm having the same problem again with 2.2. The videos usually start playing if you keep hitting 'play' for a few times, but they might also stop while playing.. Very annoying.
I wonder how widespread this problem is?
Looks like almost everybody with 2.2 have this problem (including me)
yeah me too
Same here...

has anyone tried using a 2.1 youtube.apk on a 2.2 rom?
Try turning off HQ. Anything I wanted to watch on youtube kept throwing up the same error but once I turned off HQ it worked fine for me.
At least its not just me then. Disabling high quality is no good to me. It helps to play the video but it looks and sounds a lot worse.
I hope they fix this somehow.
Yup, HQ disabled fixes this, but its not very usable solution...

I would try if you tell me where to get it.
I have the same problem and after observing it it seems it tends to happen when the data connection is not so good.sometimes my wifi drops and I can see when it happens looking at the lights on the modem.when I am on gprs videos don't play generally when the signal bars go down.

My connection is perfect. But it still happens so I'm certain its the app.
I dont think that its because of the connection too. In my case it always happens at the near end of a video that it stops playing and an error appears.
Is it just me or have this new radio rom 32.46.00.32U_5.10.05.17_2 fixed this playback problem? Just flashed it in my LeeDrOiD 2.0a and tested few videos. Not a single fail/errors yet after 10+ randomly selected videos. Can someone test this too?

I was already running this rom with 2 older radios, and both had this issue. I'm not saying this new radio fixes it, but I really hope so.
Anyways, I continue testing and will report if there's errors or not.

I dont think so currently. Youre going to have to go without sepia on your pics for a while. Its hard to be artsy on android.
Instagram is a app issue with "all" ICS ROMs. It hit and miss as very very few have said it worked for them but majority it does not work.
The app is fully working for me using NexusMod ICS Zero. I admit it wasn't working and was freezing trying to use the filters. But once I did the Fix Permissions Workaround for ICS it is fully working now. It does lag a little on some of the filters but it no longer freezes up the phone or reboots the phone.

Which ROM are you on? Mine uploads fine after the fix permission fix.
Crap...I just updated to the latest Instagram and now mine are pitch black now...lol.
I'm on Racings UCLD Skyrocket ICS, and Instagram actually TECHNICALLY does work now, but it's far from perfect. I've only had one FC though so that's good.
In general its just slow applying the filters at times, and just seems a little "buggy" on my ICS rom. But it does work so I'm not complaining (on the old ICS roms it would just freeze up the entire phone and FC constantly)

On Racing's newest UCLD Skyrocket Rom it seems to work, not great but good enough for me (I was so against going back to Gingerbread that I was prepared to live without Instagram so I'll take what I can get) lol
1/5 times or so, is how often I can get it to work.

The same one as you dude, maybe the next update will fix it.
So how can any of you say it's working when using words like (1 out of 5, lagging, black picture, freezes often)....That my friends is not working so again to not create false hope for any newbies running around trying to get a fix for instagram - It's an app issue with ICS and does not have anything to do with ICS Rom's. Period.

Lol very true. After playing more with instagram I can go ahead and say it doesn't work well enough to warrant using. Mine Freezes on applying filters and when attempting to export photos.
Also the pics that I was able to get edited/uploaded through instagram (after a lot of waiting and semi FC's) I noticed that the quality is severely degraded after it gets uploaded I freely admit I haven't spent much time with instagram (I have a real camera and use LR3 and CS5 when I want to do some photography) but is it normal for it degrade the quality so much?
After my pics were uploaded they looked they were shot with the front facing camera on my T-989 lol
I wonder if we all wrote them. Maybe they can help resolve the issues. Here's the link.

Jb roms here are all having the similar issues.. Either screen flickering or random reboots / sleep of death.. That is when your phone reboots on its own but never completely boots and need to be manually restarted.. If you can deal with any of those problems then you've ill be very happy with any jb rom you try.. I am running aokp and am very happy with it atm

I've been running the aokp since build 1 and i haven't switched back to gb or ics since i think it's a huge difference from both. I like it a lot, it's very smooth, the flicker can be get rid of by choosing a few options in settings like disable hw overlay, which completely gets rid of the flicker for me. I don't use google now but the search works yeah. I get random reboots and either pull the battery or wait a few seconds and then hold down the power button until it restarts, but it doesn't bother me as much it rarely happens at important times, usually it happens after i lock the phone and put it in my pocket. Also it freezes sometimes too but not too often.

I've been using AOKP as a DD for a while now I love it. I would suggest flashing the newest nightly (9-18). It's all about preference with ROMs, I love all the ways to customize AOKP.
It's like I tell everyone though, just flash it and test it out for yourself. Always make a nandroid just incase if you don't like it you can always flash back... no harm no foul. Ever since JB leaks I haven't gone back to anything else.
You won't be disappointed. Just follow the instructions and read up on the threads before posting questions/problems because if you experience an issue chances are other people have as well and there's a fix.
Have fun!!!

Reflash... sometimes these things happen don't sweat it your phone isn't broke. I flashed an earlier build 5 or 6 times until it worked correctly.
If at first you don't succeed.....
I've just switched to ericwill's CM10 build from AOKP due to SOD issues and battery life issues.
No RR or SOD yet and greatly improved battery life so far. Been running for about 18 hours.
As a side note, I much prefer AOKP for its customization, but I'll take stability over customization any day.
Of course, YMMV.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
I ran CM10 09_17 and AOKP 09_18 got RR on both and SOD on CM10, then i tried Paranoid 2.13(CM10) and its been great!! atm am on 26hrs uptime with no issues.
I've run BinaryBishops, AOKP, CM10, and now Paranoid 2.13 which I've been running around 27-28 hours uptime. Only one I haven't experienced any reboots or sod or any of the like was Binarys' but Paranoid is the smoothest by far. Camera, music, keyboard all super responsive, no lag I've noticed at all. Running stock Trebuchet and haven't gutted it like I normally would, delete what I don't use and the like. Binarys night lies seem to be on hold for whatever reason

Screen Sensitivity

Has anyone else noticed that the screen seems to lose/gain sensitivity? For example, when I'm scrolling through my contacts it will randomly select one of the contacts. Or it will all of a sudden scroll really fast down the list. This is my third one, and they have all done it. The selecting of random stuff while scrolling is very annoying. Happens in all apps..

I rooted right away, but haven't flashed a custom Rom yet. I use my phone all day long for work, and it started getting to be too much always loading custom roms, not knowing what might bug out on you half way through the day. Don't get me wrong, I have been a flash addict for years lol but I'm trying to hold myself back for now.
But is this a known issue with stock? I would think it would have to be if it's fixed in custom Roms, wouldn't it? Because it would seem to be something that is intentionally fixed.

I honestly havent noticed this happening. Have you checked to make sure you dont have anything eating up your memory or processor? You said its happened on multiple phones, all GS3's i gathered, but its possible you may have an app that just isnt playing well with others....

It boots, but once you choose language it just jumps back to the CM boot logo and does it over and over. Maybe next build will go further.
Sent from my T-Mo Note 2
I see. Thanks for the heads-up.
Cool, keeping my eye on this, thanks for the info.
I gave it a shot. It was able to boot into Android just fine (upgrade from CM10.1), but trying to do almost anything like going to settings or opening phone caused the UI to reload. (boot animation for 3sec or so) Also, there was no cell as it was a N7105 ROM. Doing a data wipe and installing 4.3 GApps, which I found on page 2, had the same result, only you couldn't get past the welcome screen. It's nice to know it's booting at least, even if it's unusable. (I didn't do any further reading, as I needed my phone working quickly.) I would looove to see a 10.2 with Focal for T-Mobile. Losing the touchwiz framework for the camera has been the one thing holding me back. Focal in 10.1 seems to be doing a lot better, though still not the TW results.
Build 7/31 boots and runs pretty good although there is no data so you have to connect to WiFi. One problem I did notice was when browsing the internet the screen tends to jump and the web page bar blacks out from time to time. That's the one bug I did find. I didn't really fool around with it too much. My old lady kept telling me stop playing with my damn phone.:sly: Focal is pretty cool, not sure how it really differs itself from Google and Samsung camera apps, but hey it's something new and it's from CM.
Sent from my T-Mo Note 2
I just downloaded the latest 8/1 build and its running pretty good!
Edit: So far, everything seems to be functioning, including data. Only thing that's not working is the stock aosp keyboard, but installing a third party keyboard fixed the problem. Overall it's very nice, definitely getting closer to a daily driver.
