Z1s YouTube issues, anyone? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just recently got my xperia Z1s and it's also my first Sony phone period. I'm really enjoying it but all of a sudden my YouTube videos play about half way through then stop and go back to the beginning again? It never makes it past that half point. I've only noticed this with YouTube so it could be an app issue, vevo plays fine, but idk cause YouTube was working fine until yesterday and today as well. My other devices are playing videos from YouTube fine so I'm puzzled as to wether this is an app problem specific to the Z1s or if it's my phone itself maybe?? I don't have too much longer to make a return. If anyone has this issue as well please let me know, or any suggestions? I already tried clearing cache and data as well. That's about all I can do since I'm not rooted of course.

I open a thread about this since 4.3 rollout but no one cared/had this issue..I cant skip to an unloaded part of the video, only way to do this is restoring to factory version on YouTube

So you wouldn't say it's a problem with the phone itself then Right? Most likely just YouTube or some weird YouTube bug?

I hope its the youtube app, since I noticed the issue there's been like 4 updates but bug still there, my other devices have no problems. Also worth noting that in-app players (for example when I open a vid in flipboard or pocket) don't suffer from this

Its the youtube app.
Read the comments about the app...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube&hl=nl
I reverted back to the old ap by removing the updates in "apps" and the problem is gone.

I have the same issue. I try to reverted back to the old one

Reverting back to the old one does work, but still it kind of grinds my gears America! Lol. We should be able to use the latest version of YouTube on a high end phone like this. YouTube needs to fix this ASAP.

Hi,
I get FC every time I enter my subscriptions list in the youtube app. Anyone else got the same?

Never seen this problem.
OK, thanks.
I guess I have to try a hard reset then or wait for an update.
I get a lot of FC in the stock browser also. Generally I'm not satisfied with the stability of this tab so far.

what device and what ROM? no problems here...
Maybe you have a very old firmware on your device? Whats your build number?
It's all stock for now. I had the same problem on my phone also and could see lots of comments on the app in the market indicating the same problem.
Went on youtube on the pc and deleted a few subscriptions but it did not initially help.
Today however everything is fine both on the phone and the tab.
Guess I had some sort of corruption that got fixed.

[Q] Sky Go on ICS?

Basically,
Sky Go came out today and it says that the Galaxy is is supported. But, when I try to load it up, it says your device is not supported and I take it that it's saying that because I've got AOKP ICS on there.
Would anyone know a way of fixing this?
Thankssss
Send them an email mentioning this

The resolution is fine after a minute or so.
Current problem appears to be that no other channel other than Sky news works, possibly because it is non encrypted.
Possible issue caused by rooted phones not being supported but that is a little unclear as people with unrooted phones are also experiencing the same issues, ie, the app is sticking at the buffering screen and shows no pictures.
Apart from that, its fantastic
I see there is a discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22781731
They talk about apps that temporarily revoke root access to the phone to trick the Sky Go app into thinking you have a stock ROM. Sounds like too much effort for one app tbh, but I thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen it!

Spotify question

I got my AHD yesterday. Had wifi problems at first but I seem to have figured that out. Now I'm having problems with spotify. It fc's like crazy, will freeze up and stop playing. And especially if I use the lock screen controls. Can anyone else test and see how it acts on your phone? I'm wondering if it's my phone or the AHD in general.

I have the exact same problem :/
Except it's on my phone.
It started after the new radio spotify update.
Just because I wrote this and I rebooted my phone it seems like it works again ^^

There are a few apps that probably haven't been tested on the AHD yet. Spotify and Hulu for example.
Until the company tests them, there will probably be issues.
My Spotify basically doesn't work on my AHD.

Yea its pretty tricky. I found that if I get it to play and immediately leave the app it'll usually continue to play through my list. As soon as I try to select songs or do any basic action in the app it just freezes up and fc's.

Fixing 'speaker is used when receiving a call'

This seems not to be a bug of sony, LG users have this problem too. It is caused by the latest version of chrome browser, although I don't know why…
So, Uninstall update of chrome fixes the bug.
If you want to use newer version of chrome, it is confirmed that chrome beta do not cause the bug.

That's interesting, could you provide link to appropriate topic/site?
It doesn't work me. It's a fake in my opinion, i'll try install beta version of chrome and then i'll see - maybe it can help, but i dont think so...

That's most stupid thing I've read on XDA!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Though it works for me, as well as many other users, there are many comments about that on play store. Then try disable it.
Sent from my LT29i using xda app-developers app
This definitely works, uninstalling chrome updates or disabling it stops the calls starting in the speaker.
Read your own post back then buddy cos that's looking pretty stupid to me. Not as stupid as some of these bugs on 4.3 though
Moving on, 100% confirmed. I never even knew about this bug using peetr's hybrid ROM which has chrome replaced with AOSP browser. Soon as I installed chrome the first call I made came blaring out on speaker. Wtf sooner I can upgrade this nightmare of a phone the better.

YouTube freezes

A really weird problem here, guys. Official YouTube app freezes very often, once it happened, it doesn't work properly until reboot. No other problems with another similar apps. No root. SM-T715. Stock MM. MM came at the beginning of June (via wi-fi). Any suggestions, folks?

Happens on HTC 10? [emoji33] can you please show the list of apps installed in your HTC 10? I think we can figure it out.

No I was just sending my reply from HTC 10. Happnes on my Galaxy Tab S2
This is happening on my S2, but not just youtube, any video app I use. Anyone ever find a fix?
Thought I was the only one, happens quite often and have to reboot to fix the issue.
