Hey,
I just picked up a new HTC Rezound from Amazon and it arrived today. It's crazy but I'm noticing the same Audio/Video out of sync problem with Youtube that I did w/ my HTC Droid Incredible. To be fair I do a lot of video editing so perhaps I'm more perceptive to this than some but it's clearly off by at least .250sec (Video ahead of audio). This is happening in both the youtube app and flash through the stock browser.
When I first got my Incredible two years ago I had the same problem. After rooting and using different roms/kernels it became less noticeable w/ certain combinations. However I became content with not really using my phone to watch videos just for fun. Having a phone that could play youtube properly was one of the main things I was excited about w/ this upgrade to the Rezound. Turns out it's clearly worse than my Incredible rooted w/ OMFGB and Chad's Kernel.
This is occurring right after taking it out of the box and using WIFI. Haven't even activated the phone yet as Verizon needs confirmation from a family member who's in FL (and asleep - I'm in CA). I'm surprised I can't find one other thread about this.
Anyone else notice this at all? I don't see how this could be a "bad phone" issue. I do plan on rooting so perhaps after removing the bloatware it'll be better. Really hope someone can reassure me......

Just happened to notice this watching the new Busta Rhymes video on the Market Place. It's annoying as he'll.

How long have you had your Rezound? Has it worked fine w Youtube before? Perhaps they're having an issue (hopefully).
I'm a big youtuber....
I noticed it before but thought it was the. Video or my connection. I've been watching "Drunk History" since my last post and all but one episode was synced properly. Go check it out...... If anything you'll laugh your ass off a little.
So for me it's not consistent.
I was using Wifi by the way.

Hello Folks,
I just replaced my old Droid Eris (that I took swimming) with a Samsung Fascinate that I bought from a guy on Craigslist.
The phone is in pretty great shape, and it is wonderfully faster than my old Eris was (especially after it went swimming).
The stock rom was disgustingly hogged by VZW and M$, as I'm sure you all know. I am currently running PowerWashedGB on it, and it is fabulous.
I am having a problem however with audio dropping out during streaming, and am trying to decipher whether it is software or hardware related.
Does anyone else have problems with audio dropping when streaming? Works great when read off a disk. I went back to the VZW stock rom to see if it had to do with PWGB, but the problem persisted.
Does anyone know a way I can pick this problem apart, and if there is a different radio/modem I could try flashing? Everything else on the phone works great, even data for the most part, just not stable enough to hold a steady stream (drops every 30 seconds or so for about 5-10 seconds).
Thanks guys.

Do a *228 options 1 and 2 and let the phone reset. If the problem persists: does it happen with only one streaming app or with all of them. If it's all of them try streaming with the charger plugged in to check if it's a voltage issue with the screen off. Lastly, does it happen with the screen off or on or both ?

Thank you for your quick reply. Setting the phone to reprogram seems to have fixed the issue, I've been streaming about a half hour now with no problems, which is far more than was working previously.
The new update broke YouTube again for me. The issue I am having is constant buffering on the YouTube app while using the "hd " setting. Right now I am on .13, before I was on .11 and still had that issue. When I upgraded to .11.1 it fixed the YouTube buffering issue and now that I am on .13 I have that issue again . Gary can this please be addressed.
I can't have the upgrade yet (ww version here .11) and youtube was broken too. Yesterday, Youtube gave me an error every time I opened it. Today, youtube works but slowly, very slowly.
My tf201 is not upgraded so it is not upgrade's fault.
Please, use the search engine before posting
It seemed like on ".11.1" they fixed youtube, not on .11. Now on .13 it seems like youtube is broken again. Also I ran a speed test and i am getting worse speed with .13 then i was using .11.1. I have a 40M connection down. On .11.1 i was getting around 5Mb now i am getting about 3M. My upload speed doesnt seem to be affected because it is getting 5M.
I don't think its the update. My Droid x is having issues aswell. (On same wifi connection) so its probably a YouTube server issue.

This is a YouTube back-end server issue that Google has been working on for two days. It happens on every ICS device I have tried with the stock browser. You will probably see this up and down availability for the next couple of days from YouTube. Any coincidence that it started occurring when they rolled out the last version of Chrome.
Just tried and no issues here runs smooth

I watched a couple of YouTube vids today w/no problems; I did take the 2/8 update. I do think the update affected my battery life though, but I'm giving it a few days to shake itself out.

Yeah, I concur.
From what I've read here and there, it would seem that Google is aware of the issue, and this doesn't necessarily pertain to our latest update on the TFP.
However, that is not to say that I want to quit pointing the finger at ASUS for my issues on this particular piece of hardware.
I think it's just habitual and somewhat human of us to immediately associate all issues with the hardware manufacturer.

I also had issues with youtube flickering and making it difficult to search. I just tried restoring youtube in Titanium and then reinstalled it from Titanium, selecting "App only" instead of "App plus data" and all seems well so far
edit - uninstall then reinstall using titanium
Its not the back end its the way the YouTube app buffers. It buffered correctly in 11.1 but not in the new update. It seems like its not caching. Properly
I don't know if I am just setting this up wrong but so far I have tried:
Energy Blue
Energy stock
Android revolution
stock
jelly bean fusion
and all the them slacker don't work right.
Just hangs on songs randomly after about 2 songs and won't go any further.
Are there any roms that have this working correctly?
Anyone?

It was figured out in another thread... You have to set your min processor frequency higher. If its to slow then the app will act weird when the screen is off and the phone deep sleeps
Sent from my epic amaze 4g
Yeah I saw that guys post too and posted there.
set mine not to go below the 400 range one and still had the same issues with no change.
Yeah, I've noticed this too. I've got a ticket open with Slacker. I noticed this right after the update to ICS, Slacker stopped working. Slacker customer service sucks, big time. Tons of reviews on Google Play say it hangs after a couple songs. It hung with stock after ICS update, stock after ICS update in safe mode, the 3.2.2047 hangs, and even the just released 3.2.2058 (which is supposed to fix connectivity issues), still hangs.
I've had two tickets open with slacker, one a couple months ago, and it took forever to get them convinced it wasn't my WiFi. I told them on the same connection, I could sit and watch Netflix all day. It's clearly a problem with their app. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't like the service so much.
I've given the app a single star review along with my several trouble tickets.
It's inexcusable for the app to not work, since it's a bundled app.
OK so I've had my HOX+ for about a month having moved on from the Apple empire and for the most part I love the phone. There are a few annoying things I've noticed and after much time searching forums, contacting HTC and all that jazz haven't found a good answer yet. So I figured I'd just try asking and getting some opinions here. My disclaimer is that I'm still 100% stock and not quite ready to dive into root and custom ROMs yet
Issue #1 - that damn BT call audio issue - Has anyone found a fix for the BT issue so everyone I talk to in my car doesn't sound like they are talking with their phone in their mouth? I spent a week working with HTC on this and all I ever got was the standard "we're sorry to hear about your issue, working to resolve, blah blah blah"
Issue #2 - I've recently noticed a issue with audio pausing and the phone being slow to respond from unlock when playing music. PowerAmp seems to be the worst culprit but I've noticed this a little with Double Twist also. I've tweaked my audio settings in PA to use the "huge" buffer and highest thread priority. Turning Beats off didn't seem to help either.
Any feedback welcome, thanks.
Gonna have to root to fix Bluetooth audio issues or wait for a ota threw your service provider

Kinda figured root was the common answer on the BT issue, any thoughts on my spastic audio?

For the audio issue i also do have that problem.. little minor pauses.. but quite annoying.. tried different music players but there was no difference.. I also have a bigger problem actually.. the headphones output are not equal.. one is higher than the other.. tried different headphones.. but na.. nothing has changed..

Yeah that sounds almost exactly like my problem, little minor pauses most of the time (which to me is kind of annoying) and every so often a longer pause of like 4-10 seconds. I ended up having my phone go into a sleep of death last night so I rebooted and also ended up removing the Double Twist widget I had up when I was checking out different players. Today the pause issue seemed better but still not 100% so I'm starting to suspect something (widget or otherwise) I'm running is maxing out the CPU or something.
Haven't noticed any balance issue though, what player are you using? I know in PowerAmp and I'd imagine others there is a balance control...could just be off a bit or if nothing else you might try adjusting it to compensate till you find a solution.
Stock based and aosp roms have Bluetooth fixes.
You can't fix anything yourself unless u root, otherwise wait for a carrier update that may never come.
Will also fix any slow performance issues you might be having, even more so with a custom kernel.
Never experienced issues with Bluetooth myself tho.

So as an update, rooted yesterday and installed ViperXL. BT fixed, just got around to getting all my music back on today so I havent tested playback yet.

I am having the same audio issue. I'm using N7 player. It sucks. I thought it was just the player but then It started happening on pandora too. does this quick pause only happen on AUX? I haven't tested to see what happens with bluetooth audio streaming. Only happens/has been tested happening with AUX.
This happens on the latest viper rom for one x+ att
We should fix this!
use Zplayer

I have had same problems with music, tried Zplayer which solved the issues... my phone is on stock rom ...
Had a chance to do some heads down work and played music for the better part of 4 hours. The pause issue is still there with Double Twist, but nowhere near as bad when I was running stock. Very minor now bit still apparent. My PowerAmp trial ran out so I can't test it. Might try Player Pro even though I'm not crazy about it.

I have noticed minor pauses in music at the same spot when walking down my road towards my house. Due to it happening in roughly the same spot, I have put this down to my home WiFi connecting and/or my Vodafone Sure Signal signal booster being picked up as the primary network connection for calls etc.
I have no idea if my thoughts are correct, but is this something anyone else has tried or even thought about? My phone is currently fubar'd so I can't test it atm.
I hv tried few ROMs and concluded that its the stock kernel's processor settings on sleep mode, I installed cm 10.1 with blade kernel and changed minimum CPU frequency at bit higher level and music plays perfectly fine... I hope this could help others.

Yes, I have found that the audio pause issue seems to be related to connecting to a wifi spot. It still happens when wifi is turned off though, so although they are related, it's not the cause.
I definitely think it has to do with the clockspeed of the device when it is idling.
I notice the audio pauses when,
The screen is left on and the orientation changes
pause frequency changes depending on the player
When connecting to a wifi access point/scanning for one
Someone take this information and e-mail HTC. I was going to call them, but I don't have the time to deal with all of this stuff right now. College finals are next week.
EDIT: managed to give HTC a call. They suggested poweramp and said that they were working on a proper fix. I don't have the time to test to see if power amp solves the issue just now, but it's always good to hear other people's experiences/devices specs. So let me know your device specs and what you know about this issue!
Well my v10 stutters on 1080, 2k, 4k, 60 fps videos on youtube. Where my wife's does just fine. But as far as gaming my phone blazes just as my note 4 did no issues at all. Just with the youtube app it freezes/Buffers conatantly. But watching them through the browser no issue only happens with youtube app for my phone, hulu nor Netflix have issues. There have been updates pushed to AT&T from what I have heard that fixed the fingerprint, an youtube as well as a few other issues. I have tested both wifi and LTE. Anyone else have this issue? Found a fix or work around? I am rooted stock everything else except I removed all T-Mobile bloat.

Pretty sure you guys have noticed that well we all have youtube issues as well positive that you have heard of Binge on Demand that T-Mobile offers well one thing they don't say is hey we have already added it to your account while it does not add to the cost of your bill it does slow down your data for things like youtube or what ever streaming service you are using. By simply going to your account plans and services then other you will see you have the option to enable or disable. Select disable of course and voila. You should now be enjoying your high def videos on YouTube and whatever you watch and have issues doing so. Now I have tested this on both of my devices an have had positive results.
I'm on the same boat man, i freaked out for a second because i thought it was my phone, it's an app issue and a lot of people are mad about it.
I updated my review last night at the play store.
It's insane that it is taking this long for them to address the issue. Even if they have begun to or what ever I don't have a clue. Thanks for your response
Ok well I decided to uninstall youtube updates. It started running fine. Woke up this morning and it updated by itself I can now watch youtube like normal.....kinda weird but hey it worked for me
Thanks for the tip
Did it work for you as well?
Yes it did it really helped a lot, now it's cruising through 720p videos and just right behind the buffer on 1080p, 1440p is still a no go. I've been reading and searching about the issue and what i have understand so far is that they optimized the app for marshmallow and is not playing nice with lollipop. The quick workaround so far is the tip that you posted so thanks again.
No problem, that's insane why isn't it optimized for all lol
Just found out that if you have Binge On it will cut your data speeds up to 3 quarters of you don't use the Binge On apps. I have unlimited everything so i turned the Binge On thing OFF and voila i can stream 1440p videos with no problem now.
How do you turn binge off
Go in to your account online go to profile and then media manager
