Whenever I click to watch certain videos for example a comic video from raywilliamjohnson, the app will load the right title, description and comment section but the video being play will turn out to be something else like a cooking video or a game show.
I noticed the problem first happened one night when I marathon-watched subscription videos from raywillamjohnson on youtube app (2.0 version) After an hour, the app started to play wrong random videos. And the problem has been permanent ever since.
It seems like a cache issue and I have been trying to fix and the following is what I have done but nothing solves the problem permanently.
- I factory reset, deleted cache partition, deleted catch and data of the youtube app, formatted phone memory. Still the same.
- The problem only happens with wifi connection, 3G connection will load correct videos.
- Youtube on browser plays the videos perfectly. Problems only with app.
- The problem happened first time with the 2.0 youtube app that I updated. I tried the 2.1 app but still the same problem. Downgrading to the stock 1.6 youtube app solved the problem. Videos loaded correctly. Perfect.
- I had been happy with youtube 1.6 however, the latest firmware update from Samsung includes 2.0 youtube as stock. And the problem comes back again. I found youtube 1.6 apk from the internet and replaced the stock 2.0 with 1.6 but once I reboot the tab, it will install and replace with 2.0 youtube app. So this doesn't solve problem permanently...
- I believe this is a cache issue hidden somewhere (maybe I'm wrong?). I didn't root the tab so I tried to clear the cache and data of every running app and somehow the youtube app played videos correctly again. But I lost all other settings and this messed up the settings of the whole phone and I finally had to factory reset again... and guess what.. the problem came back :S
I'm really at loss what's going on behind the system that causes the problem.
I googled and searched the forum and seems like I'm the only one in the world with this weird issue. Please help (T.T)
Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks.
Same problem, running on an Evo 2.2. Happens for me on 3G & 4G.
My temporary fix that should work for you, is once the video starts, click the HQ button. The video will pause a moment and reload and it should be the correct video. You can then click the button again, and go back to whichever viewing mode you were at before.
I had this happen last night. Was watching a news broadcast on Youtube and all of a sudden the video switched to a hunting show, but the audio stayed the same...
Was very odd, but I didn't find a solution..
Same goes here, I have been facing this annoying problem with my "HTC Desire HD" and other devices!
I believe the latest youtube app is missed up. Also I like the previous Youtube app which I had been using on my previous device "HTC Hero" I think it was 1.6 version.
Moreover, I agree.... clicking HQ tap immediately just before the video plays will prevent it from playing different thing and taping back on HQ will plays it back as HQ I'm assuming.
Now how can I make the old version permanent even after rebooting.
I am facing this problem with three devices.
Desire HD
Acer Iconia a500
& HTC Flyer
All of them are linked to the same youtube account.
It might be a subscription issue. I think I have read it somewere.
Thank you
OMG, so this issue has been there since 28th December 2010
since it still happen to many people until now (24th Oct 2011) at lease 2 people I know just asked me about it and how to solve it.
I found a link under google's Help forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=06b3f1a933950603&hl=en
the only solution now is to click on the HD icon when the video starts playing, or to use the browser.
Not sure why it is taking google that long to solve it, or they are not yet aware of this issue!!!
YouTube for Android plays the SAME VIDEO no matter what I choose
Instead I see another video, I've rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared the app's cache, data, whatever even factory data reset .. Can anyone help! Advice! Thanks

Try changing your default search engine to something else (android device) and or allow 3rd party cookies (windows 7). The problem is actually with your internet service provider. You can change this as well for a more perminant fix, but first test it at a friend or family's house.
Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there's a known reason for it or solution to fix it.
A couple of days ago, my Chromecast quit playing links from Showbox and I can't figure out why. I used to get a show or movie here or there that Avia would say isn't compatible but now it's suddenly showing the error for literally everything I click, even episodes I successfully played a couple of days ago. It's not a shoebox issue because Avia will play the video until I hit the cast button.
Thinking it was my phone or Avia, I tried my wife's phone and Allcast with no success. I also thought maybe a Chromecast OTA broke compatibility, but I'm still on 15250. I even tried a factory rest on the Chromecast and wiping data on the apps involved.
I'm just out of ideas at this point. Anyone know what could be going on?
My wife and I both have Nexus 5's. She's stock and I'm on Paranoid Android.

That app isn't talked about here and a Mod will lock or delete this thread.

Sorry but showbox isn't allowed on xda because it violates copyrights and posting about it may get you and xda in trouble.
My son has this tablet, and he asked me to put a new game on it yesterday. When I opened up the Play Store nothing would load. The Store acted like the tablet had no network connection, but I was able to use the browser and tried a different network as well.
I manually updated the Play store to v5.2
Tried rebooting
The only thing that is any different is that I just performed the firmware update to 4.4.2 (I think).
Has anyone else seen an issue like this? I really don't want to wipe and start over if I can help it.
After further playing around it seems that not all was ok with the OS update. The tablet turns itself off when sleeping for more than 5 minutes or so as well as the Play store issue.
Hi All,
Ever since I upgraded to Lollipop I'm unable to play downloaded music in Rhapsody while in offline mode. Sometimes it'll play several dozen songs, other times it'll play just one. In all cases it stalls trying to load the next track. Anyone else using Rhapsody and seeing this?
I'm considering doing a factory reset but if anyone else is seeing this then I won't.
Thanks,
Ken
So, here I got my new Mi5 32GB. Was excited to play Marvel's Contest of champions(The only game I play !!). However when I tried to download and install the game, it just crashed while loading the game. Was connected on WiFI in home while playing the same. Now tried to play the game on mobile data, still same. However the weird thing here is, it loaded and worked just fine while I was on mobile data in my office. Thinking it was a coincidence, tried the same multiple days to same pattern.
I have tried disabling the battering restrictions and other from security manager, even have reseted the phone itself, still same issue.
Am running on MIUI 8. Please help guys.
