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

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.

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.

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 was using Torch to help my friend install his car stereo and I guess I had it on too long, because when I went to use it again the LED wouldnt light up anymore. I tried taking a picture, recording a video, different settings in Torch, but nothing works. Is this something that can be replaced/fixed or do I have a phone without a flash now? I thought LEDs were indestructible...
LED flashes can overheat and burn out.. Oddly enough, their normal lifespan is 20,000 hours. :O So either you were doing some serious lighting, or it was a manufacturer's defect.
try flashing a different ROM and see if the flash works afterwards, if you've been using a custom ROM and are rooted.
If either it does not work after a different ROM, or you have not rooted and flashed a different ROM, i would recommend backing up your stuff and getting a replacement phone. A burned out flash after little, if any heavy use, is a reason for a factory exchange. Definitely.
Good luck, there.
I have the same problem. I will be getting my phone switched out soon. I guess I won't use death ray anymore...

Have u tried reboot?? Sometimes reboots fix this kind of problem..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I tried reboot. I am rooted and using a custom rom (Villain's gingerbread 1.2) so I'll try backing up my current setup and restoring a backup from when I know it actually worked. I really dont want to send my phone off, its my only phone line but I may have to.
I think you should just exchange it.
Keep in mind that when you exchange a phone with t-mobile they send you the replacement before you have to send back your own, so there's practically no downtime.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
Oh I didn't know that. I'll get it swapped. The flash makes the camera so much better.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Damn, but torch clearly gives you the warning that after 45 minutes the LED started glitching. I guess you shoulda thought of that before.
The lifespan of a product might be of many many hourse, but not on one use, just like a normal bulb.
I definitely didnt leave it on for 45 minutes, maybe 5 continuous minutes at the most. I'm thinking its lose or it was going bad anyway. It went out once before randomly (not using Torch that time) and just started working again on its own, so I ignored it. It still hasnt come back on, so I think its dead this time.
I've left mine on strobing at several house parties for at least 3 hours each time (while charging). Now I read this... I'm scared to do it anymore!! Lol

I have found that different apps produce different levels of brightness. For instance, the app "Tesla LED Torch" uses the full brightness of the flash compared to "LED Light" which uses a much less intense and most likely more sustainable level of brightness.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
The Torch app that comes with most Roms now has 2 different levels. Death ray, and normal. There's a disclaimer when you select death ray because its inviting impending doom upon your phone.
Tmobile has a new one on its way. They were really good about sending me a new one, I just had to follow a few troubleshooting steps and pretend like it wasnt rooted. I told her (helpdesk lady) my original G1 was rooted and custom romed and she started going "nahnahnahnah cant hear you!" Probably the funniest thing any customer support has done with me on the phone.

I haven't gotten a new one yet, but I could have sworn that yesterday it turned itself on for a few seconds while I was a few feet away from it lol. I know I saw it, buy I removed all traces of the torch app from /system so i don't know how that's possible. I haven't been able to reproduce.

Anybody know where i can buy G2 parts such as the flash, (i know its a led but i dont wanna sodar) my G2 went swimming with me in vegas (5 minutes under water in a swimming pool) and has sever water damage (all stickers are pink) it works fine and the LED lasted forever, (allways used deathray) but it went out a month or two ago and i been waiting to find parts for it on http://www.cnn.cn but doesnt look like they will have them any time soon.
Thanks.
I can't seem to play any videos through the youtube app.
Every one gives me the same error:
"there was a problem while playing
touch to retry"
Embedded flash plays just fine, but the app doesn't work worth beans. Anyone else experiencing the same problems?
Mine does the same **** i have to restart the phone its the froyo update ****in **** blows
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
youtube put up a statement on the site saying that it's something on the backend the changed and now have to release another update for the app. It's not just the epic that's having the the problem. A lot of phones with 2.2 are. You can still go on the full site and watch the videos in flash if you want to.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yup, tried that and it worked. However, on some vids, now goofy youtube says I need a flash upgrade. Argh.
Dolphin browsers to watch flash.
I wish they'd fix this **** already, getting tired of rebooting my phone all the damn time. Seems to trigger by the phone dropping to below 50% battery then charging back above. At least I've read there seems to be some correlation and it seems to be the case on my phone as well.
No problems here youtube works fine for me
Only problem I seem to have with it is it keeps telling me my account isn't linked so idk I guess when I get to a computer then ill see

Here's mine:
It's annoying, but also funny, sort of. Okay, not really.
I had similar problems, went through warranty - the replacement device they sent me is flawless.
And i thought my one is unusable.
But in fact its not even close to your problems lol.
By the way i found that if you put all ten finers on the screen and make them touch the highest and lowest part of screen at same time, the screen will automatically turn off as on the 2nd video.
And in the logcat it says that it was turned off by user, so its definitely hardware problem
Here's mine when I was still on 4.3. It's not as bad now after I let ASUS take a look at it but it's still no where near perfect:
Hi there, I'm having trouble with my Nexus 6P. When I record a video using the Google camera, Snapchat or Instagram there is no sound in the video. Well, there is but it's like a Shhh sound, like a damaged mic. The thing is, that this only happens while recording video, the mic works fine during phonecalls, recording WhatsApp voice notes or using voice command in the Google App. I don't know if this is a hardware or software issue. I think the mic that is right below the camera may be damaged (recently my phone got dirty with Engine Oil, I cleaned it right away but I don't know), but since I recently also updated to the latest beta 7.1.2 it may be a software problem too. I hope you can help me out here, not being able to record videos properly is killing me. Thanks in advance.
I think it is a software issue. I have the same problem and I just updated to 7.1.2 as well.
OMG I'm not the only one! I hope it's software then... Have you tried to fix it or you're planning on just waiting for an update?

Well! It looks like I'm waiting. I just tried to flash back to the official update and the recovery mode said "Cannot flash back to older build." Looks like we are pretty much stuck with a phone that cannot make phone calls unless we completely wipe all data.

Oh really? Mine is jacked up across the board. I don't have audio in videos or calls. I should've noticed you only mentioned videos. That's interesting.
Same issue
Hey I'm actually in the same boat as the original poster. Ever since the 7.1.2 beta I have no sound to my videos. If I hold the speaker to my ear I can hear the "ssshhhh" noises though. Everything else seems to work fine. Ex. Calls. Google. Voice recording. From reading online I was really scared my mic below my camera blew or was damaged but I'm really hoping it's just a software issue. If anyone has found a workaround or solution to this problem I would love to hear it.

Have you ever opened up the back cover? I have the same issue and the problem in my case is that I never tried to record video on the phone until after I've replaced the back cover so I don't know if it had something to do with my repairs. I plan on opening up the back soon to replace the battery and will wiggle the wires around when it is open. I think this is a hardware issue as I've tried every software fix. Might be just a bad batch of phones because we've come to realize the QC might not have been the best as seen with the early shutdown and bootloop issues.

That's for suggesting Cinema FV, I changed the audio source to external and was able to record video with sound. But agreed that it sucks to have to purchase an app to make it work.

Did starting fresh fix it for you? I switched out my battery and inspected everything while I had the case opened and also couldn't find any sign of issues with the mics. So as you suggested, it is most likely software related.

Repair shop
This happened to my 6p about 6 months after I bought it. I took it to the Huawei official repair shop in Singapore and they said it was water damage (I have had no incidents with water). Even better, they said it was not under warranty because of the water damage and that it would cost US$700 (more than the phone brand new ) to replace the screen and motherboard. I am suspicious that they had no idea what the issue was and were going to try and replace everything in hopes that it would fix it. I mean why else replace the screen when the audio isn't being recorded in the camera app only?
Hardware issue
If there is no audio in video, its probably because the audio mic for video recording just below the camera bump is damaged. The device has seperate mic for video. And a mic integrated with the lower speaker is for phone calls and ok google hotword.
