Hello guys,
I'm having some annoying problems with Youtube after the Kitkat update.
I'm getting a lots of framedrops while using the official YouTube app. Before I updated to Kitkat, I had the same problems when I updated the app, so I always had the YouTube app on the factory version. But now, Kitkat has the newer version of the app and the problem is back...
I've done a factory reset already, and it didn't solved my problem. Does anyone know what this can be?
It's just on the official app, when I use other app, like Viral, the playback is smooth as it should, but I kinda don't like those alternative apps for YouTube.
Thanks!
Someone? :crying:

I've did that already, I'm on the latest version of android, I've got it from OTA 3 days ago.
same thing ive just noticed on my Moto X. It's 4.4 kitkat. There is a study that proves this version degrades HD video playback heavily to a point where it cannot render 720p or 1080p videos at 60fps. http://www.optofidelity.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/OF_VideoMultimeter_Nexus7-_EN.pdf

Hi.. i have been running eyecandy JB rom on my kindle without issue.. and i do some streaming flash audio, which wasn't a issue after i installed flash, until this morning.. dolphins latest update disabled flash in the app itself, and i had deleted my older APK's of dolphin.. was curious if anyone might have one laying around from a day or 2 ago? thanks...
Or any other browsers that still support flash?
Disregard this thread (can't seem to delete it..) The built in browser in JB still does flash fine
Ever since upgrading to 4.3 I have been unable to watch any flash video on my nexus 7. I've upgraded to the latest version of adobe flash and have tried firefox, its beta, boat, aosp browser, and next browser. It always crashes as soon as any flash content begins to load. Anyone know how to dfix this? I'm incredibly frustrated with this.

this is a known problem and there really isn't a consistent way to fix it. mix and matching browsers and flash versions seems to only have a hit and miss effectiveness. it is a problem between android 4.3 and flash and there hasnt been a real fix for it. the only browser that i've been able to get to work consistantly with flash on 4.3 is UC Browser. there's a lot of things i dont like about it but it gets the job done when i need to use flash.
Firefox BETA also seems to work fine with flash... I had no luck with other browsers...
4.2.2 flashback fixed my 4.3 problems.

I have v4.3 JB. I installed Flash Player 11.1 and it works perfectly with firefox browser. I went to firefox setting and enabled the plugins. I tried to make the latest Dolphin browser works with the flash player but no luck. I don't understand why Google hates so much Flash player that they prevent people to install the plugin (not available in play store and need to check "unknown source" to install the plugin).
I got the update to KitKat but Flash in Firefox stopped working, as you all know.
I did install the hacked Flash Player, that which works only on Dolphin.
In fact, I hate Dolphin. But the support to flash is half-assed to say the least, 50% of the time I go to see a desktop versione of a youtube video, it has some problems: hangs, goes too fast, can't skip, It's a pain.
Is there any other better workaround available ATM? Non-rooted preferrably. At least to get flash working with other browsers.
Otherwise it might be soon that I have found a reason for rooting.
Thanks.

My country got KitKat update last night. After searching, thanks to the XDA Nexus 5 site, i am able to have flash again. Basically I just installed Firefox Beta and re-installed the same Flash player i had before. And it works. Ah yes, I am not rooted.

Great!!! Just did as you suggested and work perfectly. It's Firefox Beta that made the trick. Firefox standard doesn't work.
Thanks a lot!
Hey guys,
So my problem is that my YouTube app is lagging really bad. Every other video app is just working fine. I updated the app everytime when there is a update. I even completely installed ota and the stock as well. Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be ? Or does anybody have the same problem ? The Android version is 5.0.2 right now.
Hey guys
I'm new to this forum.I have G2 D802. My instagram app started to freeze processing videos just when I updated to version 8.2.The app doesn't let me skip videos until they are fully downloaded and if try scrolling it stops suddenly.I cleared cache and data but it didn't help.
I've tried reinstalling or installing previous versions event reseting my phone to factory but still get the same problem.
Please help
I have the same problem but happens when my phone got kit kat 4.4. I update at lollipop and never do this again, but cant fix it in KK. I recommend you to download an alternative app, Imagine for Instagram is good, i was using imagine.

I had the same problem but installing an older version fixed it for me.
You can search this version on Google: Instagram 7.9.0 (15997156) (arm) (nodpi)
