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.
I am using a replacement g2 that I got from tmo (originally bought a brand new g2 but it came with 2.3.3 so I asked them for an exchange and got this one with froyo). I have an issue with videos not playing properly on the youtube app and on m.youtube.com. When I open the vid, the sound works fine but the screen is just black. Sometimes, the video starts with a picture but doesn't go anywhere from there. If I try to skip to a certain time frame, sometimes it switches to a different picture and gets stuck again or just goes black.
Has anyone else had this issue? I never had this happen on my original g2 with gingerbread. Could it be a pre loaded app that's interfering with it?

try uninstall and re download YouTube from the market
I tried that already...
Should've never asked for that exchange :/
the battery life seems even worse on this one and I'm having problems that I never had with gingerbread.

Bummer dude. Ask for another exchange lol
Lol what should I tell them
Have you tried a factory reset? A lot of times that'll fix whatever weird kinks are in the phone.
Yup that fixed it hahah. thanks.
Sweet! Glad that worked
Anyone else?
Every game I have tried playing, causes the player to reboot spontaneously. No single thing seems to trigger it, just reboots at some random point while playing games. Using the Asus controller.
Everything else seems to be smooth.
Games tried:
Badlands
Riptide 2
Minion Rush
Sky Force 2014
BombSquad
Hungry Shark Evolution
Beach Buggy Racing
indeed
Hi.
Yes I have the same problem. Clearing the data worked for beachbuggy and bombsquad the first time i ran into this issue. Yesterday, bombsquad crashed no matter how many times I cleared data or uninstall/reinstall.
I'm trying to find out where to report this to google.
Crazy thing, but is the power plug /really/ jammed in deep and something put on the cable to make sure it doesn't wiggle loose?

I tried using online chat from the nexus troubleshooting page, but it never loads.
I have also used adb/fastboot to re-install the factory image, it didnt help.
May try using the call option on troubleshooting page when I have more time.

Well, in a word, no, its not the power cord.
I could understand if it happened at just any random time, but it happens only when playing a game.
I can stream movies for hours at a time using plex, stream music, etc. never reboots. Play a game, and it can happen within a second, or 5 minutes, but only when playing a game.

Thank you both for reporting, I finally have time and am requesting a call from them now as well.
Glad to hear it is working, its is extremely frustrating trying to use it now.
Well 45 minutes later on phone, I got RMA, just waiting on new one to arrive now. Says it leaves on the 25th, hope it is sooner.

Just to follow up, replacement arrived today.
So far not a single game crash. Also not had the audio drop-outs yet either.
Plex still will freeze on some movies however. I suspect this is more plex's problem as opposed to the player itself.

Mine still crashes in games quite a bit. I'd be interested in your experience over the next week or so, specially if it indeed has stopped crashing in games over the mid-term. Thanks for the updates.

Hi, is your crash before RMA or after RMA?
I am facing crashes and reboot issues on Nexus Player, while playing Asphalt 8 and Air Race.
Still contemplating if I should RMA or wait for OTA software updates which may or may not resolve the issues.
For those who have RMA, did the help desk say it's a hardware or software problem?
Seems to be memory overflow issue, the 1GB ram is overloded, causing some memory leakage, and as a result the unit rebooted?

I haven't RMA'd... some other gentlemen above have, however. I'll be waiting for the next update and see if that fixes things as games are not my priority with the box, streaming from my nas and the net is. For those purposes, my NP is solid.
Thanks for the reply. I read from other forums that Lollipop has a reboot apps bug due to memory management. keeping my fingers crossed that the next software update will solve the games rebooting issue too.

They didn't say what the bug was, but I can tell you my new one is flawless

I will second that. My RMA'd unit has yet to reboot while playing games, or at all for that matter.
I was also getting spontaneous reboot and audio dropout. Problem was solved by getting a replacement unit. Could hardly start a game of Asphalt 8 or play it more than a few seconds without it rebooting.
There is definitely a pattern here - that some units are marginal.
I've been having the same problem with the following games:
Asphalt 8
Beach Buggy Racing
Sky Force 2014 TV
God of Light TV
Games that I haven't had a problem with:
Badland
Bike Rivals
Called Google today and talked to a rep who hadn't heard of this issue before, but said it sounded like an issue with the apps and suggested I contact the developers. After reading about the RMA success stories, I'll be calling back tomorrow and pushing for RMA.
I thought it might be a good idea to come together and list issues we may have found.
I have to say that I love this phone.
Issues list:
1) Apps/widgets that need to access the secured/encrypted storage either crash or report that there is no sd-card, or the sd-card is unreadable.
2) The screen turn on sensor seems a little too sensitive. For instance riding in the car with the phone sitting on my leg, the screen would come on any time the road was bumpy or coming to a stop quickly.
As this will be a running list, please chip in. I am hoping we can track these as well as if fixes are released, or we decide to take them on and fix them ourselves.
I do not want any of the junk like have been in other threads about weight and size, etc. Please keep these to real issues with the phone or the software.
Well.... the app/widget issue is probably more of an issue with the app/widget itself requiring an update for better Lollipop compatibility.
As for the ambient display.... pretty sure they wanted it to be something that's convenient and easy to use. Not something that would require you to violently shake your phone to get it to turn on. I can pick it up off my desk without it turning on, then put it into my other hand, only letting it fall into my hand ever so slightly, and the ambient display turns on. Of course it's going to turn on if you're going down a bumpy road with it on your leg.
Has anyone experienced a crash and reboot yet? It happened to me a few minutes after installing the software update.
Can't connect to Moto360 watch. Thought that was very odd. Seeing if anyone else is having issues with android wear

Negative on the reboot part. I did have cloud print crash a few times when I first got it this morning, but no longer.

I had an issue getting my 360 to connect at first too. Ended up having to factory reset the 360 to get everything working properly.
Thanks! The reset did the trick. Must be a bug somewhere

That's actually the intended method to pair an Android Wear watch with a new phone. Not a bug.

Anyone getting strange whining feedback through 3.5mm headphone jack? I'm at work and can't try it with my Piston's but my car audio jack had crazy feedback. Same cable worked fine with my nexus 5, OPO, m8 and any other phone I've tried ?

Are you charging the phone at the same time? If so unplug the phone from the charger and see if that solves the noise.
One thing I've noticed is that when wireless charging, when it hits 100%, it completely stops charging. You'd think this would be a good thing, but with my N5, it would drop to trickle-charge mode, but would at least keep the charging indicator active. Since the N6 stops charging completely, daydreams will stop functioning, and you'll go back to the home screen. Depending on the charge cycle, the phone may come awake or stay awake most of the night. in addition to making it worthless as a bedside clock, this also makes me concerned of burn-in. This is, after all, an AMOLED screen, which is prone to burn-in issues.
I will say that every now and again, my phone will make a static noise from the top speaker even though there's nothing audio playing. It did it significantly more before I installed the update and barely does it now.

It did it the most during setup when it was restoring my phone, then for a while before I installed the update, and barely now. I've only been using the phone about 12 hours now and I'm pulling it off it's first charge now. It may be a total non-issue but it's something I'm keeping my eyes and ears on.

This actually sounds like a hardware defect I would send back ASAP. Thank you all for posting your issues for those of us who are on the fence this helps what we maybe walking into when purchasing this device.
I have seen the restart issue once or twice and it seems like my GPS doesn't get a complete lock on me while using maps, it did at first and after 10 min or so it would no longer zoom in on you in google maps when it locked on your signal. Not sure if this is a google maps issue or a GPS issue though.

Well, I got mine from T-Mobile so I don't think it's just as easy as getting another one. I freaking love the phone though. My biggest and only real gripe is the button placement. I hit the volume rocker almost every time I try to do anything on it. Lol.
My fiance bought one of these for us, and she said shes noticed the longer its used the pseakers go bassy and fuzzy. only corrected with a restart. ive searched and cant seem to see a mention of it
anyone had this issue

Yes, I've had this as well.
I don't know what causes it, but during a film, about an hour in, it started going fuzzy, as if someone added a "static" track in there. It becomes all static-y...
It's resolved by rebooting.
Anyone have insight on this?

A ROM bug maybe?
No, I have stock and the same problem after a long gaming session. Closing and re-open the app sometimes works, but sometimes indeed only a restart works.

If rebooting fixes it, it sounds like it may be a software issue. Have you tried doing a factory reset?
Mine has done something similar a few times, only while playing Adventure Express. I assumed its just a bug with that game, but it affects all audio running on the tablet until I clear the game from Recents. Stock 5.0.1 rooted
Sounds like your devices are haunted
Anyway, never experienced anything like it
I get playback issues with the Comedy central app that are fixed by a restart I have a feeling it has to do with some of the lollipop memory leaks.
I have had no issues yet but for this to be a HTC tablet I would think it would have better sound like on the M7 and M8. Still sounds good and love the speakers on the front

I've had it happen straight out of the box. Then a couple time times later on, completely stock. Have yet to experience this on SimpleAOSP, but I'm sure the bug is still present, just haven't noticed it yet.
Edit: This is not a speaker issue, but more a software issue. It happens with headphones as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...e-sound-using-earphones-t3032098#post58898735
Reboot
I have experienced it one time only. A reboot fixed it. It looks like a SW/driver issue to me. Not a huge problem, but taking the price of the Nexus 9 into consideration, it would be nice to have it fixed
