New YouTube App causing G2 to crash

Is anyone else having issues with the new YouTube app that was recently released?
Every time I press "back' during a video playback the phone freezes & crashes on me - is this happening to any of you??

yup. Happens to me each and everytime. I can only remedy it with a damn battery pull

Same happens to me, I had to force a reboot though ADB (It didn't fix anything when I uninstalled Youtube from ADB effectively killing its process).

It crashed once while watching a video and I pressed the back button. However, I've tried to recreate the issue and I can't get it to crash at all now.

Nope, working perfectly fine here.

It locks up on me when pushing the "back" button, too. Battery pull required. Boo.

Looks like I'm not the only one having this issue.... I hope they update it soon, the new apps pretty sick!

The same thing happened to me today. Had to pull out the battery to restart.

Same here on both of our g2's. One rooted and on normal. When hitting back it locked the phone up tights. Have to pull battery to restart.

Works fine here

Yeah push the back button then it gets all messed up... what an update.. I'm sure it'll be fix but not right away.. plus its really just the UI, just uninstall until its fix
Meaning about the UI isn't that the only real update?? Everything else seems the same..EXCEPT for the video playing on the spot once instend of extending the info

Yeah, it's good to see it's not just me. It's happened at least half a dozen times in the past couple days to me. Personally, I loathe battery pulls so I just sit and click back and home a few hundred times to get a fc option.

Happens to me too... Though not every time. But most of the time.

Yea this is VERY annoying. Sucks too because I really like the new UI.

yes same here because the rent is to damn high

It freezes on me as well

Hmm.. seems like I'm one of the few for whom the new Youtube is working perfectly.

It does the same thing for me - near frozen when I hit the back button on a video. The first time I did this I had the patience to eventually go through a power-off sequence (15-30 seconds between hitting buttons and getting a response). The second time I just did the 3 finger salute to reboot it.
Note that you don't have to pull the battery. Power-VolumeDown-Trackball is an instant reboot sequence (though it did take 5 to 10 seconds to perform it when Youtube was acting up).

Just a question here... most of you with issues do you have 1st batch/pre-release G2's? I only ask because I had a pre-release G2, and I had a crap load of issues with it. I sent that one back for an exchange to Tmobile, and got my new one yesterday. I have zero issues at all. New YouTube works great, I have full signal now, and, well the phone works the way its meant to work.

Laggy after 4.010.13 update

Has anyone else had lagging like turning up the volume the volume bar would lag?

If this is the 2nd update, then yes I am noticing some lag. Especially when doing things like you mention which totally frustrates me 'cause it was these types of activities that got so much better with the 3.1 upgrade... at least for me. Smoother swipes between home screen, moving widgets and a few others... sigh
Oh well, just hoping 3.2 will fix these. Asus is getting it this week, please Acer keep up with the Jones on this stuff!

Mine got it a few days ago. During the 2nd reboot, it was stuck with the screen backlight on, but nothing showing up. I had to force it off, then back on. I did get the "update was successful" message after unlocking it. Since then, it seems to be a little slower, especially with screen draws. It still plays videos fine, but the more apps I have open, the slower it changes screens, for example.

I noticed mine was laggy after the update... I thought maybe I installed something that was eating up the CPU, but I think it was probably the update that did it.
It's not horrible, just annoying.

Me too I have been some FC with launcher in addition to the laggyness.

I've had some lagginess, but only after I installed several apps. Skype was one that kept running, so I uninstalled it. Not sure what happened, but I only noticed lag after a few days of running and installing several apps, so I'm having trouble pinning it down.

I just went and backed up my apps with TB and factory reset and restored my apps back and no more lag

Unresponsive/rebooting tab

Soo ever since friday my tab has been going wild..
Itll just randomly become unresponsive and then reboot.
It started once i hooked it up to charge on a ferry... which makes me worry. however, i do have chrome on it. I figured after it came out of beta itd be fine, and its run fairly well up until recently.
Im stock rooted, running latest ota. Locked boot loader... though I tried to unlock before, but since im a c4okct there was a time where my sn wasnt recorded, and that's when I attempted to unlock.
Now, im worried that my tab is possibly fried, and im stuck without warrenty.
Does anyone have any ideas either way?
Thank you in advance and sorry for the rambling, i just tried to cover all the bases.
Ps - isnt ics supposed to be built off 3.0 kernel? I just noticed that this tab apparently is built on 2.6

When I reset my tab it at first works well. Then as it goes on it just goes to hell. Its main problem is graphicly demanding things, like gmail animations make it crash, and so does Google Music. Google Play store also is pretty laggish (I notice a trend with google products). I want to unlock it and install CM to see if it fixes anything, but I'm worried about losing warranty. Any thoughts?

Tried reset but still have the issue. The power off icon randomly pops up and then it reboots. 3 times today so far. Followed the guide in this thread and hope it's fixed with updated firmware. Regret buying now, dull screen with horrible bleed, poor io performance, and reboots make it super unreliable.

Nexus 10 freezing and rebooting

Anyone else experiencing this? In the 24 hours I've been using my nexus 10, this has happened at least 10 times. All of a sudden the device becomes unresponsiv, the screen dims until it turns off, and the only way to get the device back on is holding down the power key multiple times until it boots back up. Needless to say, quite frustrating. Otherwise, love this device.

Not quite sure how one loves a device that forces you to reboot ten times in the last 24 hrs. It's like buying a new Honda and loving it even though it stalls ten times a day.
Too many people apparently buy their device to adoringly stare at like a trophy or a collectors item than actually use.

Those all seem like pretty legitimate apps to me. This would suck but I would suggest deleting one app and using the tablet till it happens then rinse repeat till you find the offending program.

Try the secret magic spell: a full wipe

Add me to the list of people with random freezes and reboots. It's happened to me 3 times since I've gotten the tablet a few days ago, and I was using a different app each time. I suspect it's an OS bug rather than an app that's causing it. It's a little disheartening that Google let their new flagship 10" device get released with such a bug. Hopefully they release an OTA update sooner rather than later.
For the record, I rooted using the flashable CWM SuperSU file - I did not use the toolkit.

I have had my 16gb 10 now for almost a week - currently stock and non rooted. No problems whatsoever and I have been working it pretty hard.

Mine has frozen 2-3 times in the past few days. No idea why either. Audio continues to play, and the device responds to button use, but the display stops altogether.

I got mine like a week ago and it's been frustrating. I debated whether to return it or not. I really like the Nexus 10 but this has been really inconvenient. Does CM10.1 have the issue coz I am planning on rooting and flashing CM10.1 if it resolves the issue. Just trying to get an input.

Happened to me several times as well. Last time the screen went black (not off) and the tablet was extremely hot, to the point of burning my hand when I touched it! Seems it was stuck that way for several hours and didn't reboot itself.

I've been having random rebooting and freezes since getting this tablet i've replaced it three times already so i'm tired of calling google about it don't even think they have a solution because we've been waiting since November for them to fix this problem so i decide to turn off location and took HD widgets out and so far my tablet has not frozen or rebooted in two weeks it been working really well hope it continues to perform this way.

Chrome has major stability issues as far as I can tell. It crashes very frequently and causes a complete system lock-up when it does. I've resorted to Firefox. To me, this is absurd on a core first party app. Google: get your act together on Chrome.

I recently noticed this issue and have been reading what a lot of others here have had to say and so far it seems to be related to wifi. I would bet it's a software / kernel / driver issue because others have reported not having the problem before the latest update.
If I think about it, I probably had the lockup/reboot happen once before now and I can't really tell you what I was doing at the time. But I thought nothing of it. I have however found a way to force it to happen. All it takes is a large download (1gig'ish) in uTorrent, the download works fine for about 10 minutes and then the tablet either just restarts, or it first becomes unresponsive to input (screen or buttons) but is still functioning, followed by a hard lock up that can only be fixed with a forced power off.
It may be a buffer issue, or memory leak, I've been able to prolong the lockup by throttling the uTorrent download speed and minimizing the number of active apps running. As suggested in other threads I've disabled location discovery and it may have bought me a little more time but if so it's not much. I can't tell if it's because of the amount of constant data flow coming in, or the number of active connections to different seeders, or more likely a combination of the 2. I can also say that if I attempt to browse the web with either chrome or Dolphin while downloading in uTorrent the freeze or reset happens much quicker.
So for now I'm hoping that in the next update they resolve the issue and will just use my pc for torrent downloading.

T.D.K,
It may help Google resolve this issue if you reported your obvervations in this bug report thread:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39879
I think the wording you used in your post would be sufficent. Nothing helps identify where a bug is more than a repeatable instance of the issue.

Turning off the location services and uninstalling HD widgets sorta worked for me... I still get random reboots though but mostly when I'm using Chrome. Google should have just left the stock android browser and made Chrome optional.

Nope, the problem was submitted to Google months ago and is listed to only receive medium priority. A total system failure that affects every single Nexus device is only given medium priority. Makes me ponder what in glory be would be considered high priority. Maybe if the tablet reached out and kicked you in the balls whenever you looked away from it

Couldn't take it any longer... New N10 owner

I couldn't take the reboots, freezes or general crappieness of the TF101 anymore. I broke down and bought a Nexus 10 and its amazing, I have used it for an entire 10 minutes without it rebooting on me once (which I cannot say for the TF101).
So long guy.

You should have spent a little time on custom roms instead of so much money on a new device

Congrats on the new toy. I agree that custom ROMs make the TF101 an amazing device, but enjoy!

Seems to be bad luck. My tf has been free of SoD or RR for months and months... Using megatron and guvevor's kernel and now with tim's rom and kernel it's even better

I installed numerous custom roms, the best was the EOS which is currently on it. The freezes would either happen within the first 5 minutes, or wait for 15 minutes or 35 minutes. It also had the death sleep, if I left it alone for more than 20 minutes with the screen off I had to hold down the volume button and power button because the screen wouldn't come on. Its a very frustrating device to say the lease.

Well i never had any reboots\freezes since JB roms
But still The N10 an excellent device congrats!

I think I had maybe a handful of RR's since the last rendition of ICS. Got even better with EOS 3 and 4. It's been ages.
I had SODs way back in the earlier ICS days, too. But I almost forgot what those were since .27. None since JB. Once in a blue moon I'll get the pop-up window giving me the option to wait or force-close an app, usually during a file transfer, hitting wait always solves the problem. Happens so infrequently that I probably shouldn't even mention it.
My only reboots lately have been to flash a new version of the ROM. I too like the thing better now than I did when I bought it, and I was actually pretty pleased with it then. I still use it 3:1 over our N7. I am expecting my next tablet to be 16 cores @ 3GHz.

My experience with custom ROMs wasn't as smooth either. I tried latest Cyanogen and EOS4 on my TF101G in hopes that it might fix it, or that I might find out why these symptoms occur, but no. A few days ago, I went back to stock ICS and it seems semi-stable right now, but I'll wait and see.
Either way, the case of SODs seemed more prominent on EOS4 for me: I'd want to turn the device back on to do something on it, and it won't, so I had to hold Power until it restarted itself. Happened about once in 1~2 days.
Another symptom that was annoying the living hell out of me is the launcher disappearance: at some point (probably when memory usage reaches high enough), the launcher (ANY launcher - I tried them all!) would just disappear and leave me with nothing but a background. I could still tap on things and they would run, but I wouldn't see any context menus or the app drawer, or anything else launcher-related, not until I kill all the running applications to free the memory (helps for a short amount of time), or plain reboot (helps for longer than that). This problem is also apparent on ICS, so I didn't quite get rid of it by downgrading...
Anyway, congrats on the N10, spotdog. It will probably rid you of this mess. Me - I think I'll stay for a while. The dock is comfortable in a way for what I do, which is the only reason I got this device for a relatively cheap price. Other than that, a part of me kinda regrets doing it.

I have rooted and flashed pretty much every rom available for our transformer and every single rom is the same. Constant lag and issues. I don't know what's wrong with this tablet, the transformer I had before this one never lagged with any rom.

Same experience that drove me away from purchasing another Asus tablet. That is also the main reason I didn't go for the Nexus 7 was because Asus manufactured it.
