youtube app

is it just me or does it happen to everyone when playing videos through youtube, an if you change hte volume it stops the playing kind of like a mini crash?
anyone else get this?

Hi,
I don't have the issue you mentioned but I seem to remember that when I first got my HD2 in November that the hardware volume button (there's no software volume level in the Youtube app I believe) also worked as a kind of skip feature when I was watching a movie on one of the video players. I don't remember this happeining in Youtube or which video player as I mostly use a stereo Bluetooth headset to control volume levels. I've just tested in but the volume button just operates as volume in all my video apps. This "feature" may hav been lost when I updated to the 1.48 ROM. Or perhaps I just confused myself when I was getting used to my new toy.
Regards.

nah it is a problem as i hardrest and it works..
also when i did press the volume button it didnt show on the screen....
but it does now after i hard reset =-/

Doesn't happen for me mate. Youtube works flawlessly for me, on either 2G, 3G, HSDA or WiFi.

Today I tried the YouTube app for the first time. No issues at first but after closing it, the phone went incredibly slow, Skype didn't load and had to switch it off and on again.

when i press the volume button while playing a vid in youtube, it works as the fast forward and rewind function..

I have seen dozens of vids on the youtube application already, and I've never encountered any of the issues you guys mentioned here. The volume keys work exactly as supposed to.
Btw, I use Rom 1.43, and only installed the 4 official hotfixes, plus some minor tweaks shown in one of the stickies on the forum. I'm not much into ROM updates, unless they are officially released, especially when things are working fine. And I can say my phone has behaved very stably after my first month using it.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but since my question is about the included YouTube-application, I thought I might post it here....
In the HTC Account Manger, I can set my user-name and password for YouTube but whenever I use the YouTube-application, I just get to a normal page. I don't see my favourites and so on. Perhaps the YouTube-application does not support user-login, uploading of videos and so on??
Anyone who can help me out or shread some light?
PS: also Facebook never takes into consideration my user-information inserted in the Accounts Manager. When I launch Facebook, I always must insert my password. Any help?
Thanks!
BTW, to whom it concerns, a Happy New Year!!

How to fix lag on transformers movies?

hey you guys, ive noticed that whenever i watch transformers 1 or 2 on my hd2 it plays fine then every 10 seconds or so it lags for like a second then starts running fine again, does anyone have a cab or fix or something to fix this issue? or does everyones hd2 do this? thanks

The simple "fix" I have found is to watch the videos in the Windows Media Player. The playback is smooth with no hiccups. I also noticed this odd lag with TCPMP as well. I use Window Media Player for both music and Videos and have disabled the music tab too. Sure it is not as pretty as the HTC album or HTC music player, but the quality is good.

Hmm, never seen nor heard about this.. TF movies should play uninterrupted with no skips or bumps. Perhaps try disabling any auto updates during viewing, close all other non-essential running applications, and run a cleanram sweep before playing movie. Shouldn't really have a problem after that, but if you do I recommend a hard reset.

I haven't had any issues with TF. Make sure you don't have too many things running in the background. Also turn off auto updates for twitter, that always slows my phone down.

There is also a quarter second lag or so between the video and the audio. Have you noticed that? It also occurs on youtube.

Yes that is a long documented issue, take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=658136&highlight=250ms

[Q] music playback stops when screen is turned off.

I've seen similar issues addressed elsewhere but with no explicit solution:
When I play music on any player (i've tried 3 of them so far) the playback stutters and stops only to resume when the screen's turned on again. Similar posts said the issue happened at the end of the song but not in my case. The playback sometimes restarts with long gaps an stutters.
Has anyone had this issue? Found a fix or a workaround?
Ps: Stock hc 3.2.1.

player
i had this issue too with google play music and some other players
i now use n7player and it works fine for me
its so light beautifull and usefull
u can use handsfree buttons with it and lock screen controls
its available on play store

thanks, in the meantime I had also found out that double twist did the trick as well, unfortunately it didn't work with zimly which is by far my favorite player on a tablet. Double twist is nice on a phone but ugly when stretched to fit a tablet's screen and n7 is really nice too but you have to pay to get features you can get for free elsewhere and it's missing a landscape orientation which is the one I most commonly use on my tab.

[Q] Google Music prematurely skipping to next song

When playing music via Google Music, sometimes the app skips to next song before the current one is done. Any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?
My observations:
This happens during good internet connection (both on WiFi and 3G)
It happens to both "pinned" songs (cached) and the ones that are streamed. This happens even when the whole play queue is pinned (so there isn't a problem switching from cached song to streamed song)
All my music is via All Access subscription, so no songs are uploaded by myself (this eliminates the possibility of having a corrupt mp3 file)
After the music skips to next song, if I go back to the "problematic" song it plays fine to the end
This happens randomly to any song, and if a song skips once it doesn't mean it will skip again (this I find the most confusing)
Any help would be appreciated, this random skipping is frustrating!
P.S.: I have stock, rooted Nexus 4 running 4.3.

You could try to uninstall app or wipe the app data.

Are you using earphones or headphones?
Because it might matter.

I'm using Audeo PFE 112, so ones without any controls.
I've reinstalled Google Music, let's see if it helped..

Did you manage to get a solution to this? I've had the same problem on my N4 and previously my S3. I have noticed that it seems to happen when connected via Bluetooth. It seems to also be worse if I receive a notification, even if the notification sound is muted. if I use PowerAmp it's fine. In PowerAmp there are more options available to set the audio priority and buffer size. Could be down to that but obviously we don't have those options in the Play Music app.

I've got some more info that may be of use. It happens when I have an unread notification. It may not just be on Bluetooth as I don't read the notifications whilst driving obviously. This used to happen in PowerAmp when updating to Jellybean, however they fixed it. Makes no difference if notifications are on silent or if you swipe it from the notification bar, it has to be marked read.

I still have the problem. I will try to find out if it happens more when i get notifications and will report here..

This issue has been annoying the hell out of me for a few months now on my GNex on 4.3 (running AOSPA 3.99). Every time they push an update to the Play Music app I think "Finally!" assuming it will fix this issue, but no dice.
Mine is always on Bluetooth, and happens with streamed or pinned music. It will play whatever song I left it on when I last exited the player, completely, then the next song that comes up in the queue is the one that will skip after partially playing. I haven't timed it, but it's something like 20s or so. If I manually go back to the beginning of the track it skipped, it will play it completely to the end with no issues. I have found, from messing around with it, that if I proactively skip back/forward to another track manually before hitting "Play" it doesn't seem to happen. It's acting like when the player starts up, it "thinks" it received a "Next" button press via AVRCP and advances to the next song on its own.
Is that description consistent with what you guys are experiencing?

This is what I'm experiencing. Since it doesn't happen outside of that I'm not too upset.

This latest Google Play Music app update (5.2.1224L) seems to have fixed the issue for me.

Did anyone else have this fixed? As of today, the songs still skip for no apparent reason. Its happened on my GS3 and Nexus 7 2013. Both rooted and unrooted.

Same Issue
I'm still having this problem using my nexus 5 and Nexus 10. Both are running Android 4.4.2 and app version 5.4.1413N.1048534.

I'm having the issue too. I was originally using power amp and thought it was that. But i went back to Google play and it's more prevelent there. I not only get songs that skip, i get songs that play with the wrong name( songs father down the playlist play ontop of another song name) or it adds sounds that arent supposed to be there. Ive even had a song playing in slowmotion. I used to never have this happen. Last time i did a transfer of music ( pc to phone) was almost a year ago.
I'm using the LG L90-4.4.2

I have the same problem on my head unit 4.2.2. Is it possible to force the PRIORITY for google music app?

Same skipping problem
I am having the issue quite a bit on my home wifi with sonos system playing through sonos app. Every 30 minutes or so, 2 or 3 songs in a row will play about 5 seconds and skip to the next. Really annoying when you actually like the song it is skipping. I'm using iPhones, iPads and windows computer with the sonos and it does it will all computer types. I am not hitting buttons inadvertently. Did anyone figure this one out?

I have the same problem on my ZTE Z820 Obsidian.

I have this problem, but not with this phone. I think it is related to some aspect of Google music. I am using BubbleUPnP to stream to a Raspberry Pi 3 running RuneAudio which has the Debian standard MPD player embedded in it. BubbleUPnP runs on 2 Android phones - Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (4.4.2) and Moto G5 (7.0).
When I stream from my own UPnP server, fine. When the streaming source is Google Play Music, I get these symptoms. No internet issues, no mobile data, just domestic broadband and ethernet/wifi LAN. Every 3 or 4 songs it just skips to the next track half way through a song. Maddening.

Hi guys, I have the same issue with my One Plus 5T. Did you find a solution?
thanks in advance

The problem went away, but I can't remember why. I think it may have been to do with the buffer in RuneAudio which was too small/big. Or maybe a new version of Play Music came along. Sorry.

Song skipping while using bluetooth

i am facing this issue that when i play songs using google play music or retro music ( if you want find it on play store) it skips a few second of music , i have tried different ear phone , head phones and speakers , this issue is only when playing with bluetooth connected devices.
Also i have a song app called savan , it is kindof like spotify+ and when i play songs with it , it works fine without any skipping.

It skips while music is playing?

when i change the track or press next track it skips a little part and starts playing

Hi, I know this thread is a bit older, but I just want to mention, that I have the same issue on a OP5T.
It happens on every music app I've tested - Shuttle, Google Play Music, Phonograph, BlackPlayer, Impulse, Retro Music, Eon, Pulsar.
But it only appears when I skip the song with the apps 'skip-song-button' and when Wifi is turned on.
That means with off-screen gestures or Wifi turned off it works as it should on my side, that's not a fix but a rather a bad workaround.

It is due to the devices not being completely compatible with bluetooth 5.0. Its hardware sided dont worry about it. Just wait for BT 5.0 devices such as this: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/...i-true-wireless-headphones-audio-technology#/

mine skipped the song with gestures as well !! and it doesn't matter if wifi was on or off ... but now after the oreo update it is working just fine ...maybe the other music player that i installed did some changes in the library to get gapless playback and when i upgraded the device the libraries got back to normal !
