You tube issues - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having trouble with the you tube app. I can only view one video, after this in order to view another I must close the app and reopen it. It's like I lose connection or something. If I click on another video or search the little circle just turns and turns forever never loading anything.
I'm running the latest paranoid android, but this has been an issue for a while and I've just been ignoring it.

Try wiping the YouTube cache/data.
If that does not help try removing any changes you did to the PA Settings to the YouTube app.

Youtube crashes my phone.

Not sure what is causing this, but today when I watch a linked Youtube clip my ATRIX will lock up and reboot. It appears as if the youtube mobile site and the app are fighting for video rights on my phone. Any suggestions?

You have the updated version right? Mine did that before and then once I updated it from the Market it never crashed again.
Current Youtube app is installed.

Being reported across all makes and models, not just Atrix
"Uninstall upgrades" from applications menu and you should be fine.
Uninstalling the updates to Youtube worked. Thanks.

Were you using a short-cut to access YouTube? If so, trash the old one, upgrade YouTube and create a new short-cut. That worked for me.

[Q] Problem with pictures not displaying

Hello,
I have a problem with pictures on my N4.
After flashing Cyanogen yesterday, I noticed today after trying to take some pictures, that they don't show up in gallery, they only show up as grey boxes. Same is true of any other picture in the memory, however picasa pictures are shown.
The picture problem also extends to some other apps, for example the official Twitter app or the 9gag app. Some other apps show pictures, such as Facebook or Google+. QuikPic alternate gallery app also shows pictures correctly.
I am on latest nightly of CM.
FWIW I also have a problem with camera app that shuts down when I change mode to video recording, but I wouldn't say it's connected and I accept that in a nightly.
Could anyone help me? Thanks

Interestingly enough, if I use edit option in the gallery, it shows the pictures just fine.
Tried flashing latest nightly and wiping cache, didn't help.

Seems like a fair bit of Job Limiter warnings in logcat. Off to read about it a bit.
Can I somehow attach it here from the xda app by the way?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
When grepping Twitter from logcat I ran into the oh-too-familiar "Permission Denied".
I tried chmod to triple seven and fixing permissions from TWRP. Didn't help, but the next thing did, I did a backup and restore of data/media, and the process remounted the filesystem with proper permissions.
Now, all works.

[Q] Why does android videos(youtube) have to redownload?

i just dropped the iphone 5(sad face) to try this s4 active out(ready to go fishing). So its been a year since i've had a top of the line phone, so here it is the S4. I'm watching a youtube video/ hit the home button to send a text but the video has to RELOAD instead of resuming where it left off at.
Like is there a way around to having videos to redownload after you switch apps on youtube?
My YouTube doesn't have this problem, it may be some rare bugs. You may also try the preloading feature of YouTube Android.

Can resume here. May be you are out of ram or have some app kill it when you switch to other app
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
nor does it occur here

I never had this problem. Could be ram, click home do what ever you have to do then hold down home button wait for recent apps to appear click on YouTube should just resume from where you left off.
Yeah but it has to buffer then it resumes where it left off.... On iPhones you can go into other apps then come back and and hit play. Androids you have to hit play then let it redownload the remaining video. So like if you are on a data limit it sucks since it downloads the remaining video after resuming
I have the same problem.

And WTF is this?

I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.

That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Don't sync photos is already selected. This is new. It's not syncing my photos it's just suggesting photos from my gallery (the last 3 taken) for me to post. Very annoying. I will definitely check out the other app you put on here. I apologize I couldn't quote because the XDA app kinda sux.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)

No I didn't. I've tried alternative FB apps in the past. Haven't generally had much success but maybe I'll give it another go..

Fb app is the worst app ever, I started using fb on browser and all kinds of wonders happened, like improved battery life

The facebook app is becoming worse and more invasive after each update, i think it's time to switch to an unofficial app for it

So it ends up looking like this. I tapped on my post, so I could quote your post. Because it always highlights the one above it. Don't say random stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. Obviously if I could have quoted I would've done it. Been doing this a while....

Yes that is a bug. However if you tap the time at the right hand side of each post, the corresponding post is highlighted, not the one above it.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Sorry for being abrasive. Just been very frustrated with the XDA app lately. It used to be so much easier to use.
