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.

[Q] Youtube quality not sticking

Hey, when the Youtube app update that enabled 1440p quality playback came out i had the same problem, when you select a resolution it doesnt apply it, its like the app is always in auto quality mode. I read that you should uninstall updates and then install the newest version and that solved the issue for some time but now i have the same issue again. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Same issue here. I hate that I can't use 1440p. I've tried to uninstall updates but that didn't work. Anyone out there who knows how to fix this???

The app itself updated today but the issue is still there.

Hey guys, I found a solution for my tablet at least. The problem for me was Viper4android, I had changed the driver from power saving to high quality, reverting to the power saving driver seems to have solved the issue for me.

try to clear the apps data in setting application youtube and see if it stick.

Clearing those didn´t help.

Last time's solution (Clear Data and cache, Uninstall Updates, turn off and then turn on and Install updates from Play Store) is not working this time, very frustrating.

My solution didn't seem to stick and now I have the same issue again.

Mine suddenly began working, at third attempt. I cleared cache and data, Uninstalled updates, force stop, then I went to the play store and download the new updates, when I tried the first video it didn't seem to have worked, but I exit YouTube and the next time I tried it worked.
Only thing I think I did different is that I didn't disable the app before download the updates.

I found that it didn't stick when I selected it but after a few seconds of the video playing it changed to the new setting.

Here's a quick fix: after you tap the 1440 display button drag the time bar back to the beginning of the video and it will begin playing in the higher resolution.

Sorry, best I could do.

I'm trying the newest YouTube version, 5.10.3.4 (not yet in the playstore) and the issue is still there.

Touchscreen freeze

Hello !
I made the march update yesterday, and now my touchscreen freezes if I don't use it for a few seconds. To make it work again, I have to lock/unlock the phone, or to tap the screen until it works.
It's probably a software issue, because it happenned just after the update. Does someone have the same problem ?

I'm having the same problem. It's the right 3rd of the screen that becomes unresponsive. If you swipe over on the left side of the screen, you will be able to use the right side again. This is my second day with this and it's becoming incredibly annoying.

I just realised it ! For me, the only responsive part is the left 4th of the screen. I hope Google Will fix it soon. I don't want to reset my phone.

I'm not seeing this issue... how long is it taking to freeze? also what are you guys running? stock or stock rooted?

I'm running stock. If you wait 5 seconds after the scroll bar vanishes, the right side of the screen is unresponsive. If you swipe the left side, it works again. It's really a problem when I'm doing remote desktop to my computer and when I'm playing candy crush.

You should post any post March update issues you are having, here. https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/nexus/other-discussions/2HXGtYoPwa4

I'm running stock too. It takes aproximately 6 seconds for the touchscreen to freeze.

I just tried to reboot in safe mode : it doesn't solve the problem.

Does it happen in recovery or bootloader?

I just received the update this afternoon and I'm encountering the same issue. Quite frustrating.

I got my Nexus 5X yesterday with exactly the same issue.. Flashing any older factory image did not help. :/

I wonder if opting in to the Android N beta would have any effect. Not sure I'm ready to commit to running beta on my only phone; but I am tempted.

On my phone the problem existed on stock rom (I tried 3 drifferent versions), cm13 and N preview. I do not think that flashing any other Rom would make any difference.

Appreciate the information on your experience. Hopefully this is something Google can track down and is correctable in software.

Exact same issue for me since MHC19J. This is driving me nuts.

I've tried all versions except a full CM ROM. So stock, beta, and a few different AOSP builds. I cannot reproduce any screen issues being reported here.
Is there maybe a common app that you all share? No one has mentioned whether you are rooted or not.

another day (not) in paradise

the best example: Open Wifi Analyzer (in Listview) wait for results and the tap the "Back" Button. (not taping or swayping around during the wifi scan process).
Open Wifi-Analyzer (Listview) wait for result and tap the Backbutton. It took 34 seconds and 34 tapps on the backbutton until the screen turns off, but no reaction until i activate the screen.
Nexus 5X
Stock
Build MHC19J; OTA
No Root Access
for me it's beginnig on entering the SIM-PIN. It takes a few tries to enter my PIN.
Sometimes it's the Back-Button (Back - Menu - Switching Apps)
And it seems to be on the left side of the screen

I'm running stock without root.
Reviewing the previous posters list of apps, the only things I have in common are the standard Google apps.

Stock without root.
The issue is still there even when rebooting in safe mode, so it seems to be unrelated to any installed app.
Time to RMA I guess.
Edit:
Just read this in a reddit thread:
Update: I've managed to fix my issue by reverting back to a 6.0.0 build and formatting the cache,system, and userdata using the fastboot tool during the new rom install.

Same issues here.. Just found that thread.. Got my phone yesterday and thought it might be a hardware issues and thinking of shipping it back.. But now..
Tried newest factory image unrooted, CM13, Bliss, DU every single ROM has it.
It also appears directly after bootloader I think, where you can lock your Phone before booting the real ROM.. It's a pain in the ass!

I have this too on my wife's phone. My 5x is fine. March update caused the right side of screen to go dead to touches after 6 seconds of non use...
So annoying ..

I just had Google send me a new pixel 3 xl - for one my phones suffers huge memory management issues also the new camera update screwed my device up. Camera app launches then does not launch lens so it is black, snapchat will not work as well- $1000 I should not have this many issues. I have never had any of these issues with my pixel 2 xl

yeah, i talked to Google yesterday they will or issue a refund or send a new device. the problem is i love the phone, but these issues are so bothersome, especially now with the camera problem

Complete joke - I mean we have these devices fro Phone/Messages(email etc... ) and then Camera and Social Media - my wife and daughter have been gone three days and I have to reboot my phone every-time they call me on Duo for it to work. By the way my whole family except me uses Iphones so now Google has a horrible name in my family.

yeah! i actually did a factory reset hoping this would fix it, but nope. It is the worst experience i had so far with a google phone. i will just ask to return it and get my refund, its a 1000 euro device that can't take a picture.

I am back to my Pixel 2 XL - my Pixel 3 Xl phone is unbearable.

it is horrible! they are making it a hassle just for the warranty replacement! Google is ridiculous. ill never have another pixel again

I just got my replacement today - as of now no issues

I've never had an issue with it. They do what pretty much everyone does. Make sure you have a hardware problem, then if it is they send you a replacement.

I decided to return it. Running with 6t now

Camera app keep crashing

Hi, just bought my Pixel 3a XL 3 days ago, updated to Android 10 December, the camera was fine and working correctly for few days.
But starting from yesterday. The Camera app keep crashing every time I open it, not able to take a single picture. I do everthing I can even clear storage, factory reset but the same problem.
I uninstalled the update for the Camera app on Play Store and use the pre-installed one, than the camera work normally, but cannot switch to front-camera.
Is anyone else have the same issue?

First time I read about such an issue.
Maybe a hardware malfunction?
If you have an unlocked bootloader I would flash the latest stock factory image, and since you have had it for only a couple of days if that does not work I would get it exchanged.

I knew many people have the same issue like me if you read the comment on Playstore for the Google Camera app latest version. I don't know if it's hardware malfunction or not, but I can use the rear camera as usual when uninstall the latest update of Google Camera and use the factory version of December update.

I use camera px and I have never had a problem with it it's Google camera but with extra features enabled from the newer pixel phones give it a try it isnot on Google play store it is her on xda
