HI , I have a Verizon Note 4 - Latest firmware.
I've had a few problems, one is the embedded Youtube Videos inside of Chrome Browser will not play audio. I can go into the application manager and clear data then it works. But after a day it goes back to no Audio. Resetting the Data every time is becoming a pain,. has anyone else experienced this issue, or any fixes?
Also, the "Contacts" app keeps force closing, It usually pops up Force Closed 2-3 times, then finally will open.
Any help ? thank you guys

I'm having the same problem on 4 different mobile devices (2 phones, 2 tablets) al of which were working fine yesterday.
The problem is obviously from youtube.
They are making horrible changes.
Subscriptions don't appear on the home page anymore. We are now forced to see what they choose to throw at us.
Very sad!
same here, then is not my tablet, hope they fix it
I see, i thought it was my tablet, it does look like they're doing changes for the worse :/
same to me.
I'm having this really weird issue with these two apps for a while. Basically I would keep getting connection error in the Play store or on Youtube every few minutes or so, then I would retry and everything would be back to normal. Odd thing is that I can have a browser open in a side window and go to google or any other website just fine while this issue happens. I'm not sure if there's more google apps affected. Hell one time it was so bad that Youtube refused to load for a good minute or so, I opened a pen window for the browser, loaded up the same youtube video in there and it started playing before the app even loaded it (kept giving me connection error).
I have Adblock Plus running in the background so I wonder if that's what's doing this..but it seems odd for it to affect these apps.
Any ideas to fix this?

I don't have Adblock but I have issues with YouTube App aswell. It works most of the time flawlessly but sometimes like you it seems to take to long to load so what I do is close the app fully then launch it again and it works fine, I also had another weird issue of whenever I played a video in full screen and changed the tablets orientation it would dim the brightness to 0% (even changing the screens brightness to 100% wouldn't cause the app to brighten up) and hoy a "small weird box with what looked like signal bars next to it", this hasn't happened the last few times I used the tablet but its just bizarre so deffo something is up with the App that's for sure.
Hi all,
First time poster so please go easy on me..
Basically since the lollipop update (stock unbranded HTC M8) my stock HTC music player app has developed a rather annoying bug which involves the music song displaying its length completely wrong (please see attached pics). This causes the track to skip and jump to another track completely. It is very annoying!
It is not just with the HTC Music app either, I use a podcast app and the problem is also persists on that app too.
I have cleared caches, deleted and re-installed the podcast app. I don't know what to do apart from factory resetting the device hoping that will fix it.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading
Andy

Another one here with exactly the same problem. Unrooted, stock UK M8. Only happened since OTA update to Lollipop. Also noticed this (or very similar) issue appears to sometimes affect my Pocket Casts podcast app as well. The only time I've ever seen anything like this in the past was an old MP3 player I had that displayed incorrect times if music was encoded with variable bit rate. However all the music I have on my M8 is fixed bit rate so it's not that...
Does no one have any idea yet why this is happening or any suggestions for a fix? I've found that clearing the cache under Settings > Apps > All > Music can sometimes fix the issue temporarily. Soon comes back again though.
Ok this seems to have resolved it on my phone for now:
- Eject SD card (all my music is stored on SD)
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music > Clear Cache
- Go to Settings > Apps > All > Music Enhancer > Clear Cache
- Reinsert SD card
- Fully reboot phone by holding Power + Vol Up for 10 seconds
I'm still seeing a few isolated little glitches with some song times but they seem to be resolving themselves after a few goes, and the majority are currently displaying correctly.
Regarding the podcast side (using Pocket Casts app), I think I may have fixed this incidentally a few days ago when I moved my podcasts from using phone storage to SD. Taking this into account, it looks to be some kind of database corruption after the Lollipop upgrade, hopefully all ok after letting the phone rebuild its relevant media databases from scratch (I suspect a full factory reset would also fix it.) I wonder if the update included some kind of change to the MP3 decoding codec used which somehow misinterpreted the cached time info?
Same issue .. and lot of issues since lollipop
I did exactly like you said .. but I still get the same annoying bug .. and also there are many bugs after lollipop . like if you cleared recent apps and soundcloud was one , you see soundcloud's notification in the top left , when you slide it down , you see the latest song you have been playing , and it is frozen you can not clear it . and when you touch it , it opens again soundcloud .. you cannot fully close the app .. only if you did that in running Apps and force stop it .. EVEYTIME .. is that normal ? please help . and is it also possible to get back to Android kitkat ?!
I too have a similar issue... When playing, if I pause the song or audio book and exit the app, when reopening it forces the song or book to reset back to the beginning. Before it would resume from the place it was paused at.
Any ideas?
Audio messed up by lollipop

Does it play the full song inspite of showing the wrong length, or even the song's messed up ? A hard reset helps sometimes
Same problem here. Audios received by whatsapp have the same problem sometimes. I reverted to kitkat and the problem is gone, upgraded again to lollipop and problem is back. My music is on internal storage. Poweramp do not have this problem.
Hi,
I had same issue, it turned out that it appeared after turning off Nuplayer option in dev settings. When I turn it on again, as for now (2 days), works as expected.

i will try turning it back on to see if problem persists here.
EDIT:Turning nuplayer back on solved the problem. thanks.
I'll give that a try too. I can't remember why we turned off NuPlayer in the first place, but isn't there some other issue?
Guys the problem is caused by enabling dev options then turning it off
Just head into bev options and enable Nuplayer.it worked for me
Turning nuplayer on helps but than Messenger lags very often. Any solutions about that?
Thanks, turning on NuPlayer worked for me too !
Hey guys, over the past 5 days of using this phone I have noticed a few odd things. One that is really annoying is some apps just close and open again. Not an Android force close, there is no notification, the app just stops and instantly restarts. Apps this happens the most with is The Chive and Gmail. I've used a lot of other apps but these two are the worst. And Gmail is an important app, I use it a lot.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas what could be causing this? Along with the poor battery, this is making a great piece of hardware unusable. Any info on this would be appreciated.
Cheer's!!!
I haven't noticed your issues, but I have had very inconsistent results with video streaming apps from TV and cable networks and my cable provider (xfinity from comcast in the US) that range from force closing to just not being to load videos.

Has never happened to me in Gmail. I use it a lot with 3 different accounts. But force closes are closely related to memory leaks that are very abundant in 5.0. But since others dont seem to be experiencing this issue, I'd recommend a flash of the latest firmware and a complete wipe (if possible). Do you have any memory manager apps? If so that could be an issue too.

Yeah I've had odd reactions with videos too including lags which shouldn't happen - given the hardware specs.

Having the same issue. looks like it happens like once every 30 minutes to me, no matter the app. going to wipe data and do a firmware update, let's see how it goes.
I have this issue (crashing apps randomly /w no error) in particular music apps like DI.FM, Google Music, and Audible while driving. The phone is not (directly) in use by me as I use a 3.5mm or Bluetooth an initially pressing the pay button before starting my trip. This is frustrating because it randomly crashes (no notification) while I am busy driving and I have to pull to the side of the road and start it again (safety). Sometimes the crashing will not happen for hours at a time (and I enjoy the audio), other times it happens every few minutes (and I get fed up and give up on the phone wanting to put it under the tire).
I was trying to find a good way to log the error but I am too inexperienced and just go frustrated after a while as I could not find a way to log it while it was in use (playing audio) during my transit.
My Note 4, even with a factory rest and fresh load, is having problems. The most painful one is with Pandora.
If I don't have Pandora as the active/front app, it closes.
Anyone else experiencing this? Suggestions for fix?
The other one is I can't get any text reading app to consistently work when on BT. Samsung Car Mode doesn't work at all.
Becoming pretty frustrated with the Note 4.
