Hello,
I have had my nexus for about 5 months now and really love the phone.
One big feature that I use is flash video online and I watch streamed TV channels. A few months ago, when 2.2 was originally released I was able to watch any stream I cam across.
However, within the last month, certain video stream will result in my phones browser crashing immediately. The browser does not force close, and there is no error message, just immediately booted back to home screen.
The funny thing is, 2 of my friends who have the HTC desire, are unable to view the same streams. The browser crash is 100% repeatable without fail.
I am currently running STOCK 2.2, with stock recovery, stock (non-korean) radio, stock everything. I reverted entirely to stock from CM6 to see if it would fix my problem but it has not. I have tried CM6, Enomther, Kang and stock roms, Tried the froyo 4.06 radio and the Korean 5.08 radio, all of which have the exact same behavior.
A specific stream that does not load for me (there are others) is The Poker Channel, over at atdhe.net
I have tried both OnDemand and always on for flash settings but nothing seems to help.
If anyone has any ideas or also experiences these problems I would love to hear it. If you need more information or a video of the problem I can provide whatever is needed. I desperately would like to fix this problem.
I have been having the exact same issue with Justin.tv streams it was working when I was on the beta flash and right after the official flash was released. Very recently I want to say two weeks it crashes my browser. The only thing I can think of is maybe its being blocked from there end? I also tried wiping and installing the beta again and same crash

Well that is good news and bad news Im sorry to hear you have the same issue but its nice to know I am not alone.
I would like to get it fixed but I have no idea how to go about it. I have tried almost everything I can think of, including changing User Agent and all that stuff.
If anybody reads this, Is anybody able to watch the Poker Channel from atdhe.net on your phone? Other channels dont work as well, I dont even like poker, but I know that channel is a for sure browser crash for me.
So there is a new flash update that I just downloaded on my phone. Flash Player 10.1.95.1. This seems to have fixed my problem 100%, as every flash channel now works flawlessly.
If only I didnt revert everything back to stock... hahah At least I am happy to have my issue resolved.
I made sure mine is up to date and it still doesn't work it might be my build

Actually I came back to post that upon going through more channels I find that some still don't work. A majority of the ones that didn't work now do work but I still experience some channels on atdhe that crash my browser immediately. This is while using stock 2.2 still.
That changes my thoughts a little knowing your on a stock build it might be a problem with the stream itself I notice it does it only on Justin.TV streams the ones work great still

I had the same issue today. I was trying to watch a steram from atdhe which I'm pretty sure is linked to Justin TV. Just keeps crashing my browser .
Another issue I've had is watching Colbert report on CTV's and comedy centrals website. The audio plays in slow motion but the video plays normal. Everything else on those sties work for me.
I'm using CM6 nightly build.
Could someone test this for me?
Ive got an i9000m, 10.12 hw date (3rd back from bell repair).
I remember with my previous phone being able to play (smoothly) flash video from sites such as tsn.ca
I was trying to watch the world jr game last night (first time trying flash video with the new phone) and it was extremely jerky. I was on a wifi connection which was more than good enough to stream video. This was with the stock JL2 firmware.
Knowing that flash worked great with the previous phone running a beta 2.2 version, I installed darkys v8 this morning, thinking JL2 may of been the cause of the issue, and im finding the same results.
Could it be my new phone? Could someone else load up tsn.ca and see if the video streams smoothly.
Thanks
some videos are not optimized for mobile and will be very jerky and other flash vids that have same or even better quality will run fine. don't ask me why
I get that, but its just odd, as it worked fine before.
as well, sites like atdhe.net streamed flawlessly before, now they are extremely jerky (basically unwatchable)
Updated Flash Player v????
jje
Yes I have,
flash is updated to latest from market.
I have the exact same problem with www.tsn.ca full site along with several other sites like www.ign.com. Did anyone find a solution? Thanks.
Hi guys;
I bought an optimus 4x hd, unfortunately there is some connection issues, actually its connect wifi and surfing web without problem, but when i watch any video on web its stop after a while. For example i can't watch TED talks, because videos stop streaming after 01:30 usually, same as at TED Air and Youtube videos.
Weirdly its not happening on 3G connection, its happening only on wifi.
Does anybody have same issue? What is wrong about my phone? Thanks...

Some pages require "Flash Player", even if they said that we don't need it or not compatible with ICS 4.0.3...
You can try install "Flash Player" and "Adobe Air", probably will help.
To see youtube videos its better to have the youtube app. You can find it in PlayStore.

MIght be a problem with your Wifi? I have never had such issues. Is it on any Wi-Fi?
no problems here also , working perfect on wifi and 3g, i can watch a whole movie on youtube. Using V10f ,rooted.
I already have flash player and adobe air, helps nothing. Yes, its happening only on wifi, 3g connection is fast and perfect.
My modem brand name is "Airties", maybe its because of my modem type. Also i've learned that this problem is common issue at phones with İCS 4.03.
Thanks for replys though.
Despite the 4x HD i have Samsung Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 ( known Galaxy Player) too, Gingerbread 2.3.6 on it, there is no wifi or video streaming problems, so i think its must be something with ICS.

Hello,
I seem to have this problem with my HTC One rinning ViperOne 2.7.0. The phones takes a LOT of time starting a download over wifi, and by a lot I mean minutes. After that (if it starts) it still downloads very slowly. Over mobile data network the problem isn't there.
I have tried other ROMs, such as ARHD or CM 10.2, same issue.
It may be a problem with my wifi network, but it goes at full speed on every other site/app I run (except Youtube and Play Store... Google services?) and I get 60ms ping and full DL speeds in speedtest.
Here is a quick video to show you the issue: clicky me ([YOUTUBE] tag didn't work)
I tried restarting the router with no luck. Is there any port I have to manually open to make it work? I didn't have this problem a month ago, it just randomly started to act like this.
Hey guys,
You can find a summary of what I've done to my HTC One in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48582638.
On top of that, I've changed my Cell ID to the Google Play version (GOOGL001), I flashed the RUU with the Google Play version RUU, and I've installed the 4.4.2 OTA update from Google's servers.
Everything else works fine. Just when I'm connected to WiFi, videos don't load on the YouTube app (Vevo as well, but I'm assuming it's the same issue). I've tried connecting to three different WiFi connections (my house, my work, my parents') just incase there was an IP conflict or something; and still the same problem.
Do you think this is a problem with what I've done to my phone, the 4.4.2 OTA update, or the YouTube app itself?
*UPDATE* - I found out that when I take out my sim card, streaming videos works on WiFi. It only doesn't seem to work when it's connected to both a mobile network and WiFi
Thanks.

I have exact same problem on my HTC with 4.4.2. I also converted my HTC to Google play edition. And did 4.4.2 update. YouTube app Dr doesn't work on WiFi.. It's so frustrating..

I am having the same issue. I think it has to do more with wifi speeds than just YouTube. I have really poor Wifi down speed (less than 1mbps) and really fast upload speed (10mbps). There is something wrong here and it doesnt matter what rom I run, and I've narrowed it down that it is not my wifi router or service provider, I recently switched internet providers, and I doubt it is a hardware defect in my phone because my wife has consistent speeds to me on her One.
Long story short, I'm at a loss here on trying to figure out what is the root of this issue. Hope someone may figure out an answer.
OMG i have the same problem. I converted my htc one's CID then flashed the google RUU. I noticed after the 4.4 update youtube videos will not load on wifi. I tried in chrome as well and they dont load their either. I just get a message saying sorry video not available or something.
This is what happens
1. click on video to load.
2. video will start to load
3. youtube app shows loading of advertisement
4. app locks up for a couple sec
5. app comes back, but it just shows the loading circle indefinitely
I thought the update i sideloaded was corrupt or something so i reflashed the 4.2.2 RUU and then manually updated using OTA and it still did not work
Videos load flawlessly over my data connection. This issue has gotten me so frustrated i was actually trying to go back to a sense rom.

We should let this issue be known all over the web so it gets more coverage. Let's all try posting this problem on different websites and forums, so somebody will find a fix. Once a fix is found, we should post the solution back here.
I found by flashing the firmware over a new rom it will work until the phone is rebooted again (running 4.06 firmware, 4.2.2 rom)
Same problem since 4.4.2 update
I deleted the application data, clearing the cache and reinstalled the apk from the market but youtube is still stuck on the loading videos (over data or wifi both with good speed).
IDIT : it works after a reboot with wifi disabled!
Took so much effort to convert phone to GPE.. with 4.4 RUU.. updated to 4.4.2.. and youtube don't work on wifi..
That is my 75% used app.. It will send video fine to chromecast.. but won't play on phone..
Wifi only issue.. On mobile data works fine.. Tried all what i could.. reset phone.. delete data for youtube.. uninstall update for Youtube..
After two days of struggle.. restored my stock sense rom.. cant live without youtube..
It really sucks..

Yeah, lol. Tell me about it! If you look at my link at the top of this thread, you will see all the trouble I went through to get my HTC One to stock Android, and now video streaming doesn't work on WiFi.
I'm not switching back to HTC Sense UI though. I hate any version of Android that's not stock. Thankfully, I have a Nexus 5 I can use while waiting for a fix. I'm not completely switching over to a Nexus device because I like the front stereo speakers as well as the design of the HTC One.
I have a similar issue:
Youtube works after a complete reboot (and with wifi connected), but if I go off this wifi and back on again, it won't work until I reboot the phone again.

I think I have found a solution to the problem. The ones of you that have root, try and install Adblock plus. It seems that everything works fine now. Please reply with your results.

Whoa, I didn't think this would do it, but it worked. I had AdAway installed and installed this alongside and it works just fine.
I'm just curious as to why it works this way now.. ?
I changed nothing it works now (no adblocker)...
Ok it stopped working? WTF!!!!!
It's stil working for me. The thing is I have only one Wi-Fi connection to test on.
Same problem converted gpe OTA 4.2.2 stock I have multiple WiFi and 2 different ISP no change. hope someone find a solution

I installed adblock plus and I still can't stream videos while connected to WiFi.
I dont think this is a wifi speed problem. My connection is 45/4 so i should have no problems with youtube. Mine still does not work
This was bothering me so much that I decided to install a non-GPE rom instead. I went for the Omni Rom 4.2.2 and it works just fine with the videos.
I will switch back to a GPE once this is sorted out, but I am ok with this setup now. Good luck!!
