Youtube not playing on WiFi solved for me. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

For a few months I had not been able to get YouTube to play on my home network. I tried about every thing that I read on the internet. Last week, I decided to flash a new kernel on my GS4, cleared dalvik and all that good stuff. When I rebooted, I noticed that I wasn't connected to my WiFi anymore. I checked my settings and found that my saved static address was no longer there, so I simply chose DHCP and connected with my password,,,,, now YouTube has been working ever since.
So, if anyone is having the YouTube problem, try forgetting your Wifi settings, boot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik, then try re-flashing your kernel or new one. Let me know if it works.
Hope this might help someone.

Thanks for this, I just cleared the cache in recovery and now YouTube on WiFi works.

Downloading from market, still having problems here!

this doesnt work for me anymore. i cleared cache, restarted, mount and unmounded
but nothing works anymore
this doesnt work for me anymore. i cleared cache, restarted, mount and unmounded

and what do you mean: check the folders?
The same problem with Samsung Galaxy S. Sometimes works, sometimes does not. Sometimes clearing cash helps, sometimes not. Sometimes restart of the phone helps, sometimes not.
I think this is the general problem of Android 2.2 devices.
For me, it has actually turned data off. I have had to go to settings and turn it back on.
Today, I had to set WCDMA only for it to work. On GSM or WCDMA it showed a 3G connection, but no data would actually pass... how can that be?
I read other devices and ROM's are facing similar issues currently so I really think the Market is just unstable right now
I have try everything as well and no luck at all? It is the system problem or the market is down??
I've tried all that and still can't download. Was working fine earlier this morning, and yesterday
One app got installed a few hours back. However, just tried another app which does not get installed.
Glad to hear more people have market issues, that makes a general market problem more likely...

Same here to market issues
I've tried WiFi on and WiFi off some days and I really can't see any difference. With my hero I could see a definite difference.
As far as GPS goes, i thought it was only used when called upon by certain programs?

Google Services Framwork force close?

For the past 3 days, periodically throughout the day, I get a notice the Google Services Framework is unresposive and must force close. My question is...
1. Is it something important I should be worried about?
2. Is anyone else getting this?
3. Is there a specific app causing this?
3a. If not, I there a known cause?
4. Is there a fix?
Btw, I am using a nonrooted Epic. I did search. And all help is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem after dropping my phone and having the battery pop out while running.
I went into Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All, then I found Google Services Framework, opened it and clicked "Clear Data", and that seemed to fix it (note, it took 2 days for the Android Market to show anything under "My Apps")
Note, I'm rooted on Bonsai 4.1.3. This "google services framework" FC occurred even after restoring from a prior CWM backup oddly enough which is why I decided to try clearing the data in Applications.
Good luck, hopefully you have a backup in case my idea blows up your house.
I have been getting random vibrate, pause then three more vibrates like something is force closing but nothing shows on screen. I also have had maps force close several times. I am on eg22 rooted.

I have gotten this force close a few times and wiping everything 3x and restoring a nandroid didn't work for me 9 times out of 10. I ended up having to use Odin to get rid of it. Hopefully just wiping the data works for you otherwise Odin may be the only way to get it fixed. So, try wiping cache and Dalvik 3x first. If that doesn't work, try wiping everything 3x and restoring a backup. If that doesn't work, try re-flashing the ROM and finally the last resort is Odin

I am not using any roms, nor is my phone flashed with anything. Its stock EC05. It appears to have rectified itself but I'd still like to know what's happening to prevent it again.
Someone I know had this same exact problem a few days ago. Wiping the data for Google Services Framework fixed it.
This happened to me a few weeks ago. Clearing data is the best fix for some, for me however it just made my launcher loop-crash. If clearing data fails, go into cwm and 'fix permissions'. This got me back on my feet

Happened to me last night and Odin was my only fix. Tried fixing permissions, clearing data, neither worked for me. Issues still remained after a nandroid restore

MY phone tends to overheat when on calls outside at lunch and 20% of the time this is the result when I reboot. And sometimes the fix permissions works and sometimes it doesnt. If it doesn't I was reodin'ing to fix it.. Sucks for when you are not around a computer when this happens.. My fix to a computer free solution was to keep a copy of the ec05 reRFS.zip on my sd card. I can hop over to clockwork and flash this and it will at least take me back to a stock rooted and working phone until I can get back to a computer or whatever....
I have also experienced this annoying issue and my only fix was odining as wel
So rooting my phone is the only fix if clearing the data fails?

No you don't have to root. Just odin the ec05 tar. You will lose all of your data because it basically reinstalls the os it's like starting over. If you do root you can use titanium backup and that will save all of your apps and data.
My epic does this on every custom rom. So I went back to stock no more problems.

Youtube freezing

Hi everyone. Im trying to find out if anyone has any suggestions for a problem my wife is having on her Atrix. Her Atrix is completely stock with the most up to date updates installed.
She often lets our son look at youtube videos and sometimes (actually often) the phone will completely freeze. The only way to get it back to normal is with a battery pull. My son uses my phone for youtube also. I have an Atrix unlocked and rooted. I dont think that mine has ever froze while he is using it.
Can anyone say why this might happen and how to correct it?
First thing I'd try is clearing the YouTube data in settings.
Then go to the Android Market and search "YouTube". Sometimes they have a "manual update" hiding in there.
If that doesn't work I'd clear the phone cache, then dalvic cache if the phone cache doesn't work.
Finally if all else fails (and you have no 3rd party security App installed to cause any conflicts) then I'd go for the factory reset...

[Help] Package file is invalid error.

So I set up my Wifi only nexus 7 using a mobile hotspot from my phone and everything went okay. But when I got to my home network I was unable to download or update any apps from the play store as I kept getting an error about the package file being invalid. Trying all the trick I could find to fix this.(without using recovery)...
Removed Google account...
Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates on Google play and framework.... Rebooted and still have the problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Started yesterday. I thought it was the update I was trying to do, but I'm getting it on my Nexus 7 and my GS4. I've tried everything you've tried, and it still isn't downloading the updates to Facebook Messenger or Instagram.
Im having this exact same issue with google apps on the playstore. Cleared cache and data from Google Play and was able to download a few updates but issue still persists. Yesterday my tablet was going crazy saying something to the effect of a UID mismatch and it would just keep looping between that and the boot logo. Reset to factory via TWRP and the error went away but the package file invalid persists. I had been getting various force closes with google framework, launcher...etc fresh out of the box without installing a thing. I really want to like this device but all these errors are making me regret giving my original nexus to my son.
I am having the same issue trying to download the Kindle app over wifi from the play store. I was thinking that I could take the app from my old tablet and then move it to the new tablet. Is there an easy way to do this? Both tablets are rooted.
Thanks, Dennis
I posted this in the thread I made but I have found two solutions to this problem.
1) Install tunnelbear vpn, make an account, and connect to US network.
2) Tether your phone's mobile connection to your tablet. However, I would only do this if you aren't worried about data limits or the app isn't that large.
These two methods have worked for me and I have tried just about everything else. Factory resets, changing DNS settings, clearing data, etc, etc. Nothing like this seems to work since it seems to be a problem on Google's end.
I had this issue but only with one app...
I tethered with my GS3 and it worked

I've tried every "fix" I've seen and nothing works for me: will likely have to wait for a fix from Google. In the meantime, the Amazon app store has many of the same applications and it is not having this issue.
EDIT:
Sideloading also seems unaffected.
I am having the same issue tons of apps not updating. Error 497 and package file is invalid. Also having issues on my Verizon Note 2 my brother on his S4 on Sprint. WTH is going on with Google.

Same issues here. Only thing I can do to get around it is tether to my phone. Driving me crazy. Hoping for a fix soon.
Having this issue for a lot of apps too. I've downloaded quite a few just fine but whenever I go looking for a new one I get this error for things like Google Play Books and Light Flow.
edit: I decided to turn on my phone's hotspot and connect to that instead of my apartment wifi, and it worked then. This is such a strange issue.
Tried both WiFi and my phones tether, no dice when updating hangouts or downloading certain apps. Ughhhh. Such a pain

I guess I should note that I tried other methods first, like clearing data/force stopping Google Play and Google framework services, and then restarting.

This has nothing to do with the nexus 7..
Think this could be related to network setup? I have a static address and I use a default gateway. Anyone else seeing this have their router set up this way?

It's a PlayStore thing.
Have seen reports of devices of various types on everything from HC to 4.3 with the same issue.

Yep. And in fact, here's the weird part.... On phones if you're having the issue on Wifi, try the download over Celluar and it'll likely work.

Flickering screen only when playing videos

Hello everyone,
I have my i9500 for about a year and had no problems until now ... the problem started around two weeks ago. whenever i play a video (it happens on any player including youtube app) the screen starts flickering (it never flickers when you do anything else!). I wanted to know if anyone has seen this and if there is a fix for it.
thank you for anyone who can help
I have seen it before and reboot the phone fix the problem.

Go to Settings, More tab, Developer options (if it's not enabled please google how to enable), Force GPU rendering
I found this fixed it in my S4 Black edition.
If this solution doesn't work for you then also try to clear the cache partion.
To do this, Hold power, home and volume up until the phone shows [Samsung Galaxy I9500 blah] then release only power button. you are now in recovery mode. use volume buttons to scroll to the correct option (clear cache partition, i think) and press power to select it.
Then reboot. Hopefully this will work for everyone.
Fix for screen flickering upon video playing
I just got a brand new s4 i9500. And when I play videos from YouTube, whatsapp through Samsung player or vlc etc my screen starts flickering like crazy and then blacks out.
To fix I went to developer settings and enabled a function called " Turn off hardware overlays"
This instantly solved the problem of the flashing screen during video playing.
Hope this helps.
