[Q] Why does android videos(youtube) have to redownload? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Swiping apps from multitasking

So I know this isn't nexus 4 specific . but I am using one ..
People have always told me that swiping away apps doesn't close them. I disagree.
If I open an app . then swipe it away . you can watch it reload .. Also open an app and go to running apps or cached apps and you will see it there
Now swipe it away and it will disappear from running or cached .. Surely its closed now ?

It closes it as much as Android needs it to?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yeah, it basically says to the app "Please close?". The app can agree politely, ignore it entirely, or anything in between
Swiping is similar to a close with the back button.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Its more like killing the app ONLY if the app I unnecessary. For example, if you clear the browser after the use, android will get rid of it from ram but if it is light flow or setting app which needs to be ran the whole time, the app doesn't close.

Scrolling Bug

I'm on my second nexus 10 device now and most of my previous issues have been resolved except for the scrolling problem I keep experiencing. Every time I scroll down slowly on either chrome or YouTube through the YouTube app the screen automatically jumps up back to where I started on the page originally. For instance if I start at the top of a page and scroll to the middle the page goes right back up to the top as I'm scrolling down so I have to scroll back down to get the content I was trying to view. This issue pretty much happens every single time I view a new page, it's consistent. Any one have any suggestions for me?

So, same thing in email eh?
Stock email app; open email, touch screen (such as to click a link) and it jumps down just a bit and suddenly you're clicking on empty space

You tube issues

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.

Facebook videos don't play through. Is it smart pause?

I have the issue where Facebook videos don't play through fully. It will play some then quit. I start it again and play it from beginning and get to see a little more.. Etc etc. I mentioned it to my hubby and he said it's smart pause and showed me it was disabled in his notification center. I don't have that option (is it in the bloatware I froze?). Is it the difference between his mf3 and my mdl? Its also entirely possible he's confused and it's not that... I'm the geek in the family and he is sooooo not.
Anyone have an idea what it is?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
is it stopping or pausing? If it's pausing, that could be it. I know it's a neat feature but it's buggy to me. It'll pause even if I look at the bottom of the screen. To me it's just a worthless selling point. Now if it's actually stopping it'll need more troubleshooting. Does it just happen with Facebook videos?

Yes Facebook only. YouTube, etc works fine. It closes out the video and goes back to the post with the video. I thought it was a glitch with the app and I would just need to deal (like I said if I go back and hit play enough I can see the whole thing) but my hubby saying he had the same issue but solved it made me wonder what the fix was.

Google Play Music crashing

Having seemingly got rid of my alarm clock freezes and other weird stuff I still get problems with Play music on my note 3
It hangs with app not responding. I use all access and the crash occurs when browsing around albums etc, whilst playing a track.
The log report shows caused by:
"ANR keyDispatchingTimedOut"
I've looked at comments on the Play store and searched around, I can't find any recent threads on this issue.
Not sure if this is my note having issues again or is it common?
** my note has been factory reset recently with minimal apps installed **

Well I'm glad it's not just me, although sorry you have problems too. I'm amazed there are so few with this problem, that or they don't use xda. I was beginning to doubt whether people could be bothered to comment on my bug finds lol
Just wondering about your settings. Could be a crash caused by our specifics.
I use high quality streaming on 3g, internal memory for cache. Cache during playback selected. stream and cache via wifi only are unchecked.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well , I use almost the same setting than you do , except "download via wifi" is checked.
I think it could be something with cover arts , do you download the albums that you have uploaded on Google servers?
I 've a couple of albums I've uploaded , and I like to see nice covers , maybe if you tag your MP3 with a cover "too big" , it could make a problem with that "java.langOutOfMemory error?
Really it is only an assumption , I don't know too much about programming and stuff like that...

I do have a few albums that I uploaded a while back. Some don't show a picture as it can't find any cover art. I'm going to delete all my uploaded stuff and see if that makes a difference. I have most of it on Dropbox or my sd anyway. I'll let you know.

Actually , I've deleted all my music cached on my phone , and just by browsing my collection online it crashes...
Also , I've found a micro SD card , so I've tried to insert it in the phone , and chose to cache the music on it.Guess what , crash
Must be a memory leak or something like that , since when I restar my phone , it works for a couple of minutes before it crashes.
I've sent like hundreds of crach logs to Google , emailed the support , and I see I'm not the only one to have the issue.
If Google doens't push an update of this application , I guess spotify will get my 10 euros/months.

Yeh I've sent loads of logs and tried to email support. I haven't even had a reply back.
It's not good having to pay for such a crap service. I notice they have made it harder to contact them now, took ages to navigate all the useless forms/topics to get to send an email. In the end I emailed them on an address I used over a year ago. Still not heard back. Going to try calling them on the nexus sales line and see if they can give me a contact.

I tried something , that could be totally wrong but it doesn't cost anything to try :
Go to Setting - Application manager - Running - Google Play Music.
Then you should see 2 services , and one named something like "Art download " or something like that.
I turned that service off , rebooted the phone and played 10 minutes only with the application without crach
It could be only a coincidence but who knows?
EDIT Don't even try , I just had another crash.....OK Google play good bye for good.

I'm sure you probably haven't but have you had problems with:
A: The stock alarm clock failing and crashing. Ok since my last factory reset.
B: Google maps crashing randomly
C: Blurry pictures with low-med light and black lines in video recording with wifi enabled.
D: Is your note a new build or one of the first released?
Just wondering if the first batch of note 3s have faults with memory etc.

I have none of the problems you describe , everything's ok except that Google Play app.
I've purshased my Note 3 the 10th of October last year , from a big french online store , I'm not sur if the phone is part of the first release or not , how can I check that?
Not sure if serial numbers mean anything as the nexus devices do, but what firmware did it come with ?

I'm sorry , I can't remember , there was a firmware update as soon as I unboxed it , and now I'm on stock XXUDMK2.
I'm just amazed this phone has 3 GO of Ram , and I only have 10% left.
I'm pretty sure this is because all that Samsung bloatware that eats all the Ram.
Are you on stock firmware? Maybe Cyanogenmod could do something for us ?

Problem is Cyanogen = no warranty if I do have hardware issues :/
That and unless I'm wrong the stylus would be useless without touchwiz

That is true.
Maybe this new kitkat firmware will solve the issue ?
I'm at work at the moment (well for lunch break) but if you have time and want to flash the new one, could you tell me if Play Music works ?
Thanks !

Mine crashes while Im doing extensive searching meaning. I find a song I like, and I go to "similar artists" at the bottom, and go to a new artist. I repeat this many times until the actual app freezes the phone, and force quits eventually.
Lame because I like to play random trivia with my gf so she expands her music horizons
Yeah this is what happens to me too, I Think this problem does'nt come our Gnote3, but from this application. If you search on Google we can see this problem is there since à good while, and the updates didn't fix it.

Yes you are right that's exactly the process that normally makes mine crash. Looking at similar artists, albums by same artist etc.

I've just flash the new kitkat firmware , unti now everything OK.
But usually it takes some time after a reboot before it crashes , so let's wait a bit....
EDIT OK one crach already , but this time it does not ask me to send a log , just "Google play music has stopped working".
Humm I think I'll stick with Spotify then , after all it is at least as good as Google Play.
