Facebook videos don't play through. Is it smart pause? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

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?

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.

Dear Google

Hello, my name is Tommy.
I like your new 3.1 update. Everything runs sweet.
However, you changed some things, one in particular I am upset with. Its in your YouTube app. You seem to have changed the controls with play/pause/restart. Restart now is the forced control for when a video ends. Basically my issue is that when I just streamed a video and it ends, I can not rewind to any part of the video and hit play, because the button only displays restart. Now with me basically surviving off of the verizon network for my xoom, this has become an issue. Especially with longer HD videos. I don't understand why a video just streamed can't maintain its data for long enough that it can't be played again without restreaming it, especially since I've been doing it since I bought my Xoom on launch day. Any thoughts you might put towards this issue would be greatly appreciated by me.
Thank you.
Now where should I send this? If you agree, please help me and send one also.

Don't download Youtube from Market, it's the phone version. If you already did, go to settings - all applications, find Youtube and click remove updates.
To fix the no youtube problem, go to settings - all applications, find Google Partner Setup and click Clear Cache, restart your Xoom and Youtube app will appear magically.
Hope this helps.
Ha sweet just did this and worked perfect! Plays so much better than on the website! Thanks

Youtube

You guys,
i was messing around online and i got the Froyo build of youtube to work on the continuum. all you have to do is,
1. Get astro or something simalar and delete (or rename) the stock youtube app.
2.Download the attached apk.
3.find it in astro and install.
4. reboot and enjoy!
feel free to post if there's any problems.
What are the advantages of froyoutube? Is it working 100%?
well , it is mostly just a ui facelift, its a little easier to navigate. the only issue that im aware of at this point is that if you login to your youtube account, it throws you into a force close loop.
I signed in and I'm not having any force closes or anything else wrong so far

Noice. i have no idea why its doing that to me, maybe youtube cant verify that im running Froyo?
Damn. I was hoping that maybe it would support the Shows on youtube There's a butt load of funimation anime on there as well as quite a lot of other things I'd love to watch, but you can't
Wait. Never mind. It started force closing after I restarted my phone :/
Grr. So frustrating.

Yeah, these issues are known for this build.... I would wait until we are on froyo to use this

Apps that don't work for you

So far I have two. No biggie, I know there are some that don't work with ICS.
My Harley Davidson screen app w/ Willie G spinning Icon -intend to contact developer.
And Grand Theft auto(latest?) hosed. Screen went grey. It may have just been processing. I did not wait long. I deleted it 'cause I'd never even played it before and could not be bothered.
Have not played with a whole lot of apps yet. I don't do a lot of games. But I have a ton of camera and photo apps.
I'm liking this phone.
Scrabble is completely unnusable. It was a crap app to begin with, but it loads like 9 repeated frames lol.
Need For Speed - Shift...for some reason, it will not d/l
Asphalt 6 says that the device is not compatible request a refund.
Netflix app is working, but soft key buttons stay on while watching, which is annoying.

Max Payne. It sorta works. Graphics are fine. But the user interface hasn't been setup for our phone making it unusable. I am sure it will be updated soon.

I have no such issues on mine. Just touch the screen again after the video loads, and the software buttons go away.

Mass Effect: Infiltrator.
Downloads the extra data fine, but crashes at different times on the headphone screen or in the opening movie.
Light Flow is completely forked on mine.. LED stays on randomly, the phone announces when you're opening & closing folders.. very odd.
Can anyone confirm whether or not fifa 12 shows up in the market? And for anyone who has bought it does it work properly?

I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the new update when you have Bluetooth on. Try uninstalling updates to You Tube

Yes, it's a frequently reported bug, especially - but not exclusively - to Note 3 users. Google will figure it out but until then do as teejaymarx advised and go into Settings/application manager/YouTube and uninstall updates.

Downgrade your version of youtube until they fix the issue, if you can unistall the update, good if not then delete it, then look for the youtube.apk 5.1.10 I found it on androidpolice.com

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?

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.

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'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 ?

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.

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.
