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!!

Nexus 7 mutes itself and won't un-mute

My Nexus 7 keeps muting the speakers and I the only way I can get it out is to turn it off and on again.
When its muted itself (I don't even know how to mute it) the volume rocker display shows the speaker with a line across it (muted).
Sometimes the rocker won't change the the blue volume level bar and sometimes it will allow me to increase the volume level to maximum but the speaker stays in muted mode.
Anybody have any idea what is going on?

I just got this too. I was playing with Tasker at the time, not sure if it's related.

maybe it is a rogue app
I had the same problem (Google brought me here). I was able to fix it by killing media related programs until the sound came back. In my case the culprit was Netflix. As soon as I killed Netflix, the sound came back and I was able to change the volume again. Hope this helps.

I don't have netflix and it still mutes itself? any other ideas?

Does anyone know if it's a specific version of Netflix that causes this to happen? I wonder if it's something they know about and are working on.

Hold down power until you get the power off menu. The last option is called silent mode and it mutes and unmutes the device. Hope that helps

Hi, could you please give instructions on how to "kill media-related programs" as you describe above on the Nexus 7? I would like to try your suggestion, as my Nexus 7 has no sound. I don't have Netflix installed. Thanks.

[Q] Sound Troubles! (volume goes "mute")

I have noticed a problem with two of the three Nexus 7's in our household. After updating to 4.2.1, the sound periodically simply stops working. (no sound at all, and the volume button is completely unresponsive) The volume bar shows "mute". The only way I have been able to get it working again is to reboot. It happened on mine one day, and the very next day my wife had the same issue... twice; once while on You Tube, and again while watching a movie on MX Player. My daughter's N7 does not have this issue, though she has yet to install the latest update. I have been looking online for answers, but I don't see any mention of others experiencing this.
Perhaps some of you have had this "mute" issue, and can offer some insight?
Thanks,
Glen

Hey Bro it's NETFLIX if you have it installed on your guys NEXUS 7's that was the same problem I had and I had to go into settings then apps to NETFLIX and clear cache and if you don't have NETFLIX do the same on your video player app clearing the cache and also check for updates GOD BLESS YOU BRO

Volume Toggles Getting Stuck

Is this a known bug? My media volume usually gets stuck where I can't move the volume higher or lower and the same for my phone volume and can't set it to vibrate and I have to reboot every time.

I've had this happen a couple of times too. Not enough to notice any pattern in when it happens yet.

It happened to me few time after installing power toggles few weeks ago. I uninstalled it and have not had any more freezes.

Mine is still stock and unrooted.

It happened to me but then I realized my Netflix app was holding up the audio. I watched something but didn't exit properly. I just had to bring up the multi tasking window and swipe out Netflix. Maybe you have another audio app you opened just before and it hasn't releases the audio control yet

I've replicated the problem. When spotify is playing and I yank out my headphone without stopping it it meses with the toggles. King of annoying really. Never happened with my GNex.

But if you close out spotify on the multi-task bar do you get control back?

No I had to reboot. Now I have to hit pause to remove the headphone because if I don't it would continue playing through the speaker instead of pausing like it should.

Headphones music control

Here's another problem I encountered using s4. When using the button on the headphones that came with the phone to switch to next music track I noticed that it only works about 50% of the time and other 50% it recognizes it as play/pause command which is really annoying and makes headphone controls practically useless. Anybody had same problems?

nope yours are probably faulty

But it seems as software problem not hardware because if I only press the button once, music stops and resumes every time.
