[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 ..

camera became super slow

Hello guys,
I'm writing here because I've been running some frustrating problems with the htc camera application on my M8.
I run stock firmware, stock rom. never did any kind of flashing-modding or whatsoever, although I am not completely sure since it is a second hand phone. When i got it, it came on kitkat. I then upgraded directly to marshmallow.
Here are my actual software information: Android 6.0 / Software number: 6.16.708.1 / Kernel Version: 3.4.0 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT. Build number: 6.16.708.1 CL683910 release-keys.
I used the phone for one month without a problem. Then, for roughly two weeks my phone run minor random crashes with a very weird soft reset of certain application setting after the reboot. I.E: I had to log back again on all my app which required log in: spotify, wechat, even whastapp once, etc. Every time the home screen would show me the "how-to-use" tips as if it was the very first time I run the phone.
The camera became unusable: once opened, every button on screen was unusable. It didn't take photo, it didn't go to settings. nothing of nothing. It couldn't even show the bottom buttons for returning back to the home screen or managing the multi task. The whole interface seemed to be completely unresponsive.
Two days ago, I decided to factory reset through the recovery and reinstall everything.
Everything seemed fine.... but the camera.
It takes litteraly ages (7s more) to save photos. The interface is super laggy, I have to wait sensible seconds to go to settings or switch the camera mode. It is not as bad as it was before the reset, but it still unusable.
I have to mention that I have an sd card formatted as internal storage. However, since the problem persists, I formatted as portable and eventually I removed it completely. Despite this, the camera still does not work properly.
I tried to wipe the cache of the phone from the recovery. Nothing changed.
I also tried to run the phone in safe mode to see whether it was due to some application conflict. Problem still persists.
I am so frustrated, I really want my camera to work back again. I mean, I need it because I love taking picture with this phone ( I often go for photo shooting at night) and the htc camera application gives you a great Manual Mode which I cannot find in other 3d party applications.
Do you have any idea of what it might be?
Many thanks for having spent time reading this post.
I hope you can give some good feedback on this.
Cheers!

I have ran into the same problem. I even did a fresh install of viper rom. And still very slow.
This started happening less than a week ago.

Good afternoon,
The same problem occured to me last week.
This problem started after I restored apps from titanium backup.
I can point our how.
But.. After fresh wipe, all caches cleared. Camera seems to work fast again, no lag.
So check your phone space.. Free ram available.. And your use of titanium backup.
That helped me.
Let me know if this does something.
Regards,
WyCkson

I have the same problem it just started yesterday.
at the moment im using a another application to use the camera.
i want the stock camera working.
i have enough space and enough Ram.
why is it that the camera is so laggy.

OK a fresh install of viper and camera works fine, after updating from the play store the camera is slow. I don't think this is a titanium backup issue, I think it's a new update for something on the device that's interfering with the camera

Fresh install again, removed Titanium Backup. Downloaded selected system Google apps and all HTC apps except for sense home. Camera worked fine. Restarted for the lock screen update and now the camera lags. Trying to figure out which app is doing it.

After some 'auto updates', my camera started lagging huge ammount ~ 6 secs. plus other stuff. . .
Sounds like the same problem. Please post if you find out what's causing it.

same here

I just noticed crazy camera lag this morning (seemed to be working fine just yesterday). The Camera app was updated 6/23, so I assume its that. Can't find any other HTC apps that have recently updated; and no recent changes to the phone (Titanium restores or anything like that). Been on the same build of S.ROM for over a month, with no previous issues.

same here! ...

Hey guys I found your page during my research, since last night I cannot use my camera properly as you said huge lags occur and until that moment I cannot find a proper solution. But at least I found! The source of our problem is HTC SPEAK app. When I uninstall the app's updates camera became more stabyl and my phone's getting warm issues solved!
Good luck.

Found Solution(s)
For me, its HTC Speak app. If I uninstall updates for this App, Camera is back to normal.
But there is workaround even when recent update for this App is installed.
Turn On Camera App, go to Settings-Camera Options-Voice Capture. Turn it ON, download language pack when asked and than use Speak App for Camera or turn it off (as I did). Camera is working like it should either way

Thanks, this solved my problem with the camera lag.
The same thing effects the 'Motion Launch Gestures' in Settings (Display & gestures). For some reason, it also uses language pack, same as camera app.

Are you trying to uninstall the Speak updates, or the Camera app workaround in Post #12?
If you are trying to uninstall updates, you can find the app in phone settings under Settings>Apps>Speak. But for me, the option to uninstall updates is grayed out, and cannot be selected.
For the workaround: when you select "Voice Capture" in Camera app Settings, it will ask you to update the language pack. Select to update it. Then, once that is updated, the camera will work fine. You can leave "Voice Capture" on, or turn it off in Camera app settings; either way, the camera should work fine now.

The option to uninstall updates was also greyed out for me, but you can select the menu icon in the top right corner of the Speak app settings to make that option available. I did this and yes it did fix the laggy camera issue but did not fix the non-functioning gesture control. The workaround that 3alfa3 provided fixes both issues.
Thank you to everyone who has helped resolve this issue as HTC support were as much use as (insert your own witty line...)

I can confirm it worked for me too.
Enabled voice capture after couple of lags, and just hit the download button. Couple of seconds later baaam! Solved.
But Its really strange reason to lag. Curious about how you figured it out tough..
Many thanks.

Just uninstall HTC Speak ... i test this on 3 devices ...

Same problem here.
Turn On Camera App, go to Settings-Camera Options-Voice Capture. Turn it ON, download language pack when asked <--- did the trick for me as well.
When will HTC wake up and fix this?

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

Many apps have stopped working

Android 9. Last night several apps stopped working. So I started deleting recent apps, rebooted, still same problem. Then I started deleting unnecessary apps, rebooted, still same problem. Any known issue that may cause this?
Some apps I try to open, and just get a plain white screen. Others, start to open, then just go back to previous screen. Sometimes, it gives me the error (App name) keeps stopping. App info, Close app, Send feedback.

Well, a coworker came in and told me Android is having a big problem (since last night) with something Google Chrome related. I disabled Chrome (for now), and all seems to be working again.
