My nexus 10 is freaking out all of the sudden. The keyboard is disappearing after I type a few keystrokes. I thought maybe swift key was the issue. Tried two other keyboards and it is still happening. In addition, my browser is force closing so much. It started last week after watching lots of video on it. Not sure if it's related. I thought the specific browser may have been the issue so I tried surfing in dolphin, Firefox, chrome, etc. It is crashing every few minutes. It is very frustrating. It sometimes seems related to the keyboard issue and sometimes seems totally independent. I literally had to post this from my phone because the tablet force closed the browser on me 5 times while trying to post. Sorry if this post is redundant but I couldn't find anything in my searches. Any suggestions would be welcome or help in pointing to where I might read about troubleshooting in a different thread.
Thanks!
Update: this doesn't explain the keyboard thing but I have noticed that when the app crashes, the wifi bars go from blue to grey. Is there a fix for that?
2nd update: it's quickly getting worse. Every app is crashing every few moments. Even gallery! Ahhhhh! Someone please help me!
I have been experiencing the same issue. Just recently started about a week ago. I have stock nexus 10. My browser of choice is Dolphin. I'm thinking the issue is with the keyboard not the browser.

I have the same problem with my nexus 10 same issue with wifi also, when the keyboard drops out so does wifi. I also still have issues with Youtube refreshing half way through a video. Love this tablet but if it keeps it up iI'm selling it.
Same here. I'm having the exact same problems. All of them. The keyboard, apps crashing, Wifi bars going grey. I'm even get problems with YouTube, Play Store, and Feedly saying, "Tap to reconnect", and I have to press it like 3 or 4 times then it works. I think I know what the problem is though. If anyone is using Flash player. That might be causing the problem, because when I was using Adblock. I was getting horrible internet connecting then I disable it and then worked fine.
Hi!
Does anyone have problem with Google Play Music after the KitKat upgrade?
After the upgrade when i try to play a song, it gives me an error after a few minutes: "Music Playback error. Can't play the track you requested,"
I tried to remove the updates from Play Music, clear data from Play Music and Media Storage, nothing helped.
It happens on wifi and mobile connection too, and with the songs that i made to offline.
I haven't found a soultion on the forum.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
Sorry for my English.
That might be a result of Google releasing Google Music in your country. Have you registered your account through a proxy before?
If so, you probably have playlists with tracks that is not available in your region that your account now is associated with. Try search for the songs again and see if you can play it from there.

Thanks for the tip. Play Music All Access released a half year ago, and before I didn't used a proxy to use the service. On 4.2.2 it worked well. Only on KitKat is this problem. I'll try to fix the update errors from the PC Suite, and a hard reset. I'll reply about it's success.

I had the same problem on 4.2, in my case clearing data uninstalling installing helped though... or it got fixed few days later... or I found a solution which I forgot.
I do realize that this won't help you much, just wanted to point out that it had nothing to do with the android version.
Also that the proxy stuff someone said is needed only to set it up... after that there is no need for any proxies. So I would say has nothing to do with it.
Also I am in a country that got play music just now and I had it since all access began... so again I think even that would not be a case.
I am a bit angry because in my country the all access is cheaper as in the US and I am not sure I can switch to the action price and if I will have the same songs as in US market...

I have this problem and I haven't found a solution. It's really annoying. It seems completely random. Sometimes every song I play will give me the error.

Thanks for the information, i think it's not about the Android version too. I think LG made some changes, because on my Nexus 7 on stock 4.4.2 it works fine. I found some forums about this problem, but on the Optimus G model, and without a solution. So I think the problem is on LG's side. I wrote a mail to them about the problems after the update, and they replied they are working on to fix them. I hope they will fix this too.
Running out of things to try
I have had the exact same issue since updating to 4.4.2 on my LG G2. I had to reset the Google framework app to finally get the update after weeks of trying. So initially thought the error was due to that. So I factory reset my device & still get the errors.
I have tried clearing cache, data, uninstalling all updates to play music. Still the same problems.
Updated the play app & still no resolution.
When I'm on mobile data I get the error on every song I play. On Wi-Fi I can go 5 to 10 songs before the same error pops up.
I have contacted T-Mobile & they confirmed that a lot of users have reported this after the 4.4.2 update me not just with the G2 but also with the galaxy S4 & note 3 after updating to 4.4.2 as well. I told them all the trouble shooting I've done & they told me to contact Google to find a solution.
Google play music support was unaware of this issue & after running me through the same steps told me to contact LG
LG once again was unaware of the issue & tired running me thorough the same steps again. Their conclusion was that my phone/the app was having trouble communicating with the Google servers. & directed me back to Google or T-Mobile.
So it's really frustrating since 4.4.2 has fixed a lot of my other issues (GPS, Bluetooth meta data, etc) but has given me a different & so far solution-less problem. :banghead:
My wife's G2 is doing this as well.
I did dig up a thread from Android Central from last year where some people suspected some process needed for their Chromecast was somehow interfering.
Just curious, how many of you with this issue also have a Chromecast?

I have a couple of Chromecasts. Before the 4.4.2 update my G2 would not cast a full song or two onto the Chromecast. But after the update it's the other way around. It will cast fine with no errors but won't play a full song on my phone.
Did you know what about the Chromecast was causing this issue? Was it the Chromecast app?
---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
I tested out a couple of scenarios for at least playing songs that were cached on the device.
Had the same problems with data turned on & off. & even in airplane mode.
The only time it played without the playback error was when I took the SIM card out. It's a bit strange I know, but I'm going to see if maybe getting a different SIM card form T-Mobile does anything to this issue.

No, I had just find a whole bunch of other threads for different phones from last year where people started having issues with google music who used Chromecast. It occurred to me that we have a Chromecast, and my wife uses it. I haven't used once, we both have T-mobile, but I have a Nexus 5. So I was just wondering if everyone else with a G2 and the same problem also had a Chromecast.
Maybe there's some service the Chromecast uses that foobars something Music uses. Someone else had mentioned that when Music errors like this, they restart their phone and if works properly. Maybe that Chromecast service doesn't start on boot, and so it doesn't cause an issue until after it is used.
*shrugs* just a theory.

I don't have a Chromecast. I wrote to Google, and replied they consulted my case to a higher tier. I hope they can fix it in the Play Music app. I'm waiting for newer informations.
I also have the same problem andere its gettin worse everyvday. I tried it with an older version of play music but with no luck.
I hope they come with a fix soon because its getting really frustrating.

Same problem here. On my old SGS2 all was fine. With my new LG G2 I have this issue too. Sometimes all fine, then it stucks every minute/second.
Android 4.4.2
really annoying bug
Same error here on T mobile LG G2 running KitKat. Sometimes Google Music just works but then it wont play a thing for a while. Especially frustrates me when I am driving or when at the gym.

im having the same issue.. if i am on mobile data or wifi. if i turn them off i will get the err less, like 2 or 2 songs. this is my primary source of music!! please help
Finally managed to get a Logcat with all the details of the crash. Lots of information in this... The process "Nexstreaming" goes haywire when the crashes happen. Lots of A2DP references as well. Hopefully somebody can make heads or tails of all of this.
I had one song playing on loop during this Logcat. This particular song crashes more often than any other in Google Play (for me anyway) . I'm wondering if the audio subsystem is getting flooded with too much bandwidth for the BT codec to parse?

Such an annoying issue.
Even with pinned music it won't always play
Funny thing I'm noticing is that - especially with pinned music - if a song crashes the player, it's highly likely that it'll crash the player again at the same point in the song. I have several songs that I can predict the exact places where the song will quit. It's not consistent from play to play though.

Hey so I decided to come here and take a look, what exactly is the problem you guys are having with Google play music app, is it only while streaming with Bluetooth or on both WiFi and Bluetooth, are songs bought from the play store or from you computer? Any details will be appreciated

On G2 where every MB is precious(16GB) no way I gonna put on it music. For me it's the streams. I am feeling lucky radio to be precise. And problems I get sometimes as the good ppl have described. (Finally joined the KK ranks with all its faults... woohoo)

I've noticed that for the past few days this bug keeps happening. I try to use the Nexus Player remote to navigate and sometimes it gets stuck on trying to perform an action I didn't want to do (selecting a video repeatedly/using the voice search function). The light on top of the mic button also keeps flashing when this happens.
The only way to fix this problem is to take out the batteries on the remote. This sometimes happen outside the app but it is a lot more frequent inside the app. I'm currently running the latest Isengard 15 Beta available from the Play Store.
Does anybody else have this problem? Is this a Kodi-related bug or is it a software problem that Google can patch? I would also like to know how to stop this from happening.
I think Ive experienced this and outside Kodi. I have a feeling its Nexus Player problem. Others?
Use the app yatze for controlling kodi it's a great app and free. I also use the nexus player remote app my kids have the NP remote and I haven't seen it for months but the apps work great on both my wife and my phone hope that helps
Using "Netflix for Android TV 2.2 build 636" from the Sony TV APKs on my nexus player
Keep getting the error
"It looks like Netflix has been deactivated on this device"
have to re-login very frequently
Any ideas on how to solve this?
2.2.1 build 643 is on the Play Store, I've only had one forced reactivation with it so far.
But yeah Netflix for Android TV is quite buggy - a lazy port by the looks of it.
I got this Bs twice tonight.. like seriously? wtf is going on
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk.
Just got off the phone with netflix
had this happening, literally after every episode tonight. after troubleshooting everything at my house, thoroughly, I spent about an hour going through things with netflix support. apparently this is a known issue and for now there was no resolution. he said give it some time and check back if not resolved after having been escalated to tier 3 support.
Yeah it was quite bad, I noticed it seemed to be triggered consistently just after autoplaying a new episode - always within the first 30 seconds - but not after manually picking the next ep.
yup same here. honestly, I bought my dad a fire TV and myself a nexus and this nexus is garbage compared to the fire TV.. especially since I'm a prime member. I might just buy a fire TV and sell this pos.

Really annoying.
Thought it was because I'm using it through a VPN / UnoTelly DNS but seems like it's just their terrible, terrible app being terrible.

I have a Nexus Player and started getting this about 48 hours ago. It's annoying. Thanks for the workaround... I'll have to try that! I'm sick and tired of having to login after ever darn episode!!!
I do have the same problem, but i use dns4me.
on the help center (for xbox), it says that you should put dns settings on automatic.
Same issue here. Could it be related to IPv6 DNS? I have IPv6 6to4 turned on in my router and the IPv6 DNS is visible in the settings but no IPv6 adress is assigned for the device in the settings. Also in contact with the Netflix support here in Sweden, they called to US and they will investigate an call back in a few days. What ROM do you others guys use? Stock? I installed CM to be able to mount USB for Kodi.
This just started happening to me last night as well and now I have to keep logging in after every show. Time to hit them up....
I'm in the same boat guys.
I guess the bright side is I finally got around to installing cyanogenmod which of course didn't fix the issue.
I'm having this issues since a week or two. It must be a problem on the apps side only. More and more Playstore reviews and forum posts are coming up about this.
In a netflix support chat, they said that they are already working on a fix for this ... I hope so, because that's really lame.
Just came by to say the same thing is happening to me. Spent an hour on the phone with Netflix tech support, tried everything on my end, still having the same problem. Hope enough people call tech support so they know this is an issue.
i dont watch netflix often on the player, but i have this build and just fired it up and ran a few random videos. i had no errors or forced reactivations. it recognized me from the last time i ran it so it went right to the last played video i just played on my htpc...

The bug is triggered when autoplaying episodes, not when manually selecting them.

Same thing, asus nexus player
Got the exact same thing with my Asus Nexus Player.. 2.2.1 Build 643 of netflix app..
Need to reactivate every time it autoplays i to the next episode.. Manual select seems to br the workaround atm, tho quite annoying
I also have this problem, latest netflix on nexus plater stock rom
Me too. Netflix support just ask to sign out of app, power down the nexus player for a minute, power it back up, sign back in. Seemed to fix it, but then it was doing it again as soon as I actually watched an episode rather than just fast forwarding to the last 30 seconds.
Tried a clearing of the app data, didn't help. Tried a factory reset, that didn't help either.
longer explanation...
ok besides the fact the original episodes of mission impossible and knight rider are no longer on the site (expired licenses), i played one full episode of star trek, the original series (these shows are great background flicks whilst one is doing other things) and i was not forced out or required to sign off/on.
a bit of an aside, i have an ipad i have on my elliptical that i view whilst exercising, and when i would switch from that to the htpc i would sometimes have to re-log back in on the htpc. the error would say something to the effect of i cant be logged onto two different places at the same time, even though both devices (the htpc and ipad) are on the same network and subnet. i just figured the apple app has a different way of signing in. this error just started happening a couple weeks ago (i was using the ipad for months prior), so now i just turn on the television that the htpc is on and just view that whilst working on the machine and not had to re-log into the htpc (which is just the website netflix.com).
I've never really had a problem with hulu in the past, but within the last week, the Hulu app on the Shield has been giving tons of problems with buffering content.
Almost every show on there now seems to lock up and buffer like crazy. The only way to get it to stop is to force close and clear cache for the Hulu App.
Anyone else having this problem or am I going crazy?
Have you recently performed any updates? Try clearnig the cache and possibly data of the app. If that doesn't fix it, it's a problem with the app version (possibly updated itself, I've noticed the market updates sideloaded apps) or the 1.4 rom update possibly giving you problems.
I'm on the 1.4 Update. I noticed it a day or two before the update though.
I've already updated the Hulu app and I've tried clearing both Cache and Data. The only way to get it ot stop stuttering and freezing is to clear the cache each time before loading the app.
I've been running into this with my Nexus Player and Kindle Fire HDX tablet lately as well. I think a recent update has caused some issues.
Hi '
This problem is nothing but a timing .Sometime it occurs so you should update and clear your device.and then will be ok.Go to the playstore and download latest and update browser.
Hulu locks up or goes to black screen!!

I have the same issue!!! Using Shield TV Pro on Android 6 (Marshmallow) NOT Rooted... I have to clear the cache as well, but it's something wrong with app. I don't know what, but a previous version doesn't have these issues. I'm a network engineer, so I'm pretty sure it is not an issue with my internal LAN, but can't fully rule out the WAN because of access restrictions past my service connection...lol. Well not legally that is...lol
