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.

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

My YouTube app is behaving horribly. When I try to search and watch something it plays a random video...Most notably its been playing like lil Wayne videos instead of something like a video from machinima.
Is mine a defect?
Noticed that with the display model too. Nexus S sitting next to it when both pushed at same time took like .5 sec for Nexus S and 7 or 8 sec for the 3D...same once list loaded, selected the same video at same time and it was about 10 sec behind the Nexus S, and yes both were running on 3G mode not 4G. Needless to say I didnt buy one today even though I drove 60 miles round trip to do so
Did u do the ota I haven't had that issue been having fun on YouTube and the net haven't done the ota update yet.
I did a reboot and it seems to be working fine. This time though I am on WiFi instead of 3g.
clear data in app manager.

Yeah, I updated whatever HTC gave me.
Seems to be a problem with being on 3G. The same videos loaded up fine and played the video I wanted in WiFi, while if I was on 3G, it loaded for a while and then played a random video completely irrelevant to the one I chosen.
Argh. Anyone know Bestbuy's exchange policy?
Similar issue here. I went to market and searched for youtube. It did not show as installed so I installed youtube from the market (even though it was on the phone obviously) and everything works fine now. BTW...I had the problem after the OTA. Didn't check before.
I tried that and it still does not work properly..
It's perfect on WiFi while it plays a random video over 3G..
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.

Just wanted to ask you guys if you noticed any difference in your flash player performance since you updated to .14.
It is slower on certain pages for me. For example the VODs on gomtv.net in high quality are very laggy, before they played totally smooth. Could be related to the new tegra3 drivers? Youtube 1080p is still totally fine though... Not sure whats the problem. Do you know some other sites to test flash?
Before you asked i tested all performance settings and uninstalled/reinstalled flash player.
Flash player updated a few days ago. If you on latest version not sure what it could be then. Maybe just that site or network acting kinda funny. Haven't noticed anything different specific to new update though.
Yeah i tested some other pages and streams, everything seems fine except that site. Must be related to that homepage. Sucks, but i'm pretty sure it will be fixed (through prime update, flash update or site update) in the future because i know it can run perfectly smooth (as it was with .11).
Is there any way to disable flash? I just want to test browser results with flash disabled.
Flash was always slow as molasses. Just slow, not slower.

thx for your answers. Its still bugging me though. I tested about 10 streaming sites now, all of them are smooth except gomtv.net. There must be something different because this definately started with the update to .14. Hmmm.
Has anyone else had random reboots on 9.4.2.21? If so, any solutions? Will the next firmware update take care of this? Will installing a stable custom rom get rid of this problem (assuming it is software related)?

Read this, it is very likely related.
In my experience this happens while on ICS playing video. Either during playback the video will appear to be in a loop with the video just fine, and then the unit will just reboot.
I downgraded to Honeycomb and played video and had no problems. Overall stability for me was better in HC but I have a few apps I prefer to use that are not supported under HC.
yes it occasionally happens. hopefully the next update will fix all these issues.
tried every rom out there and every rom has random reboots and strange lockups, and most of them have SOD also.....
currently on Androwook, it has the lockups (I/O caused) but no SOD or Reboot so far..

Yes. Put mvideo player to pause and let it be for few minutes. Press play and see the device reboot.
I get frequent reboots when I use a remote desktop app a lot (usually Jump Desktop).
I did try enabling the force GPU rendering option the other day and while it's a bit too early to be sure it seems to have helped. Prior to this, I was getting at least one a day. This was just a theory I decided to try given that I always get this issue and think they must be related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25381326&postcount=14 Unfortunately, there is always some app that this introduced problems with on my phone. Just haven't figured out yet what that will be on the prime...
Before that, I even got a reboot last week when the screen wasn't even on. It was sitting on my desk at work, when all the sudden the screen came on w/ the boot up logo. Ugh.
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

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.
