Problem with youtube - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all the YouTube app always shows me Connection to server lost touch to retry when I try to play any video. I decided to resort to chrome but even chrome failed me. When clicking a YouTube video instead of the usual instant full screen video, nothing happens. I hear sound but the video hasn't started, only the thumbnail is showing. Anyone know a fix? EDIT: Seems videos other than YouTube also don't work on chrome
Thanks!

YouTube won't stay signed in?

Every time I close the YouTube app and then go back into it it starts to sign me in again. It won't stay logged in. Anyone else having these issues. On stock 4.2.2 and Franco r90.

I did those steps and it worked until YouTube updated again. I think its just the latest update.

I'm having issues with not only the sign in issue, but also videos buffering only for a min or 2 then completlely stopping and freezing the app.
It's a youtube problem.
Happens on the gs3 too.

Has anyone noticed a huge buffering issue with YouTube? Disabling HD doesn't help neither. Almost impossible to watch an entire video uninterrupted

YouTube app constantly stops playing to load

So the YouTube app constantly will play, then load, then play, then load again. It doesn't seem to matter what WiFi connection I'm on. The video will sometimes preload all the way but still do it. Is there any fix for this? Thanks!

Ye, it happens, I think it's a problem of the app itself. It kind of happens to me too, but I haven't used the app lately.
Happen to me too.. worse part is I have to sign in all the time, when I launch youtube ._.

Same here as well! It gets annoying

After the last update it keeps needing to signed in. And I hate the loading issue, A video will begin to load, You can watch the video loading slowly staying just far enough ahead that it plays until the loading stalls and eventually the video stops to buffer. :crying:

Error when downloading from browser

When using any browser except opera the most downloads gets corrupted/don't finish the full download. Any clues?

Just to keep from typing all of it again. If this is what you're experiencing and you're rooted try the ROM I posted in the last post

It's the app. Try in the browser and it will be faster

YouTube problem.

My YouTube won't play while on 4G. Whenever I'm on 4G I get the "connection to server lost. Touch to retry" message when trying to play YouTube. I have no problem while on 3G or Wi-Fi. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked. My phone is rooted, stocked. Only mod I have is the hotspot mod. Any ideas?
Thanks

Could just be a YouTube problem. It should work itself out eventually.
Love the 90s good times
Is the issue only on the app, or on the browser website too?

I hope so. I won't know until I go to work. I don't have 4G coverage at home.
