I couldn't find any other post with this issue I am having. I just got the HTC One yesterday and it is an Amazing phone. But I am having some problems with the YouTube app. When I try and watch videos the page loads and the video starts to buffer but it will not start playing. I've waited several minutes and it just sits there with the circle icon loading. I click back and reload the page a couple times and every once and a while it will start the video normally. Everything else loads up fine in the app and the search function works as well. I'm curious to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

I was on Youtube for a good while last night before bed, and I only really had buffer problems at the beginning of some high def vids that took a bit longer to load. Are you using mobile data or wifi?
I was on my WiFi. I just tried again later and it seems to be working better. I think it might be a YouTube issue.

Hey all, just a quick problem I'm having with pandora. When I'm driving around listening to pandora it will randomly stop playing a song and I'll have to skip to the next song and it will play fine again. Anyone else have this problem? I've tried reinstalling from the market, and it's persisted over several roms and 2.1 and 2.2. Any help would be great! Thanks.

I'm a bartender and I plug my phone into the sound system to play music for the whole bar when I'm working, and I often stream music. For a while, I used Pandora but it would stop like that and/or freeze up and I would have to force stop it in task manager and re open it, which takes at least a minute (and in bartending, is a lot of time not spent making money). It got to the point where Pandora would stop every 4th or 5th song. Mind you, this was the same whether I was on wifi or 3g. Anyhow, I switched to Slacker and it's been almost flawless. It also actually plays the ****ing artist that I create the radio station around.
i also had this happening to me a while ago but it seems to be sparatic with my phone, lately it has been working great with wifi and 3g. It usually happens to me though when i am on a 3g network when i want to listen to something other than my ipod. Then other times i can be at school just sitting doing my hw while listening doing hw and it starts stopping on me. Unlike you though mine seemed to stop when the screen shutoff and i would have to press play again and as soon as i did that it would stop again. Think the problem was due to ATK but dont really know if that was true
screw pandora now.

I have also switched to slacker in the last couple weeks and will never go back to pandora. You are correct in that you actually hear the artist you chose quite often.
My wife and I notice that a lot when we are driving home from work listening to it via bluetooth. Every 3-4 songs it does that. In the middle of the day I never have a problem. I'm pretty sure their servers are likely just getting overwhelmed.
Was beginning to think it was my phone doing it...will try slacker now.
I, too, am glad to know it's not just my phone. Everything you guys describe happens to me also.
I never heard of Slacker, but will check it out now.
This has been an issue since version 1.5 of Pandora. It's very lame.
If you can find an apk of version 1.4.x, supposedly it was more reliable.

Pandora 1.3 --->https://www.box.net/pdn-android-apps/1/46972990/467842722
Downloaded the 1.3 apk..installed...froze on first song! I give up.
I think I'm done with Pandora. Anyone have any advice between Last.FM and Slacker? I'd probaly go with the premium on which ever one I decided on.
Cog 4.1 btw
Just chiming in to say I have the same problem. I only get a few songs then Pandora stops playing. Not sure if it has to do with the phone going to sleep. I have seen some posts about "Mobile Data Always On" option but I have yet to find that on the Captivate.
No its pandora! I just downgrade to 1.3 and been fine since.
My Favorite app spotify apparently doesn't work properly on the ATRIX HD. After using it for a few days I noticed it is freezing and I have to re-select the track I want to play again. It locks up and when i go to the now playing section it shows the current song as only 1 second long. I have been experimenting with every setting I can think of but it still does this. Has any other ATRIX HD spotifly user ran into this problem or a possible fix??
PS I tried my buddys and same problem. :-(

I too have noticed a lot of market apps dont work right.
The phone came out on the 15th so give the market sometime to update some apps to work right.
I'm waiting on Zumocast to work right.

Help app developers fix the problem. When it crashes, send them an email with the details.

Have you used spotify extensively? If you switch tracks enough times it freezes up. Happens every time I use Spotify.
I tested it and it was working for me actually for your sake to see. But I personally like using Rdio so much more. UI is just awesome plus it works perfectly for me.

It got a little jittery for me after skipping 2-3 times aggressively.
I guess it's trying to load the song information and it bogs up.
Iheart Radio has problems loading stations at times.
I also get a weird preference error that dose absolutely nothing. Just pops up a window saying it cant load my preference.
I noticed there are some apps not available for the phone yet. I really want my Zumocast working again.
I used to stream my movies and music from my PC to my car, now I gotta wait for them to make a Zumocast client for Atrix HD
Until then I'm using drop box to download & save stuff.. but no streaming

For me it completely stops. Ive tried using it on wifi at home and same thing within the course of one album if you press skip within about 10 tracks it always ends up freezing. Tried 2 other peoples phones so I'm pretty sure everyones is doing this. Dosen't make sense because it works fine on the GS3 and all other android phones I've tried?
Finally as much as I love my spotify(it's probably my favorite app) I resorted to using RDIO we'll see how it goes.
Although Zumocast isn't working, Motocast (the replacement) seems to work very well!
EDIT: nope. Still not working.
Does anybody as this problem: my lg 4x hd is with rooted with cm 10.1.2 rom.everything is fine except when i listen to music...when a song is playing i hear these pops and click and sometimes it freezes for a fraction of second..
Is there a fix for this?i didnt want to download another music app.
Ps:the music app is cm 10.1 stock-apollo
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
Install a different music app and see if the problem goes away. That way you'll know if it is the ROM/your music or the app.
Troubleshoot it yourself by elimination.
Oh yes ... this has NOTHING to do with DEVELOPMENT - belongs on the Q&A forum so please report it to a moderator to be moved as I'm mobile and can't.

My phone has developed a similar problem over the last couple of days. Flashed Cm 10.1.2 on Friday (from stock) and everything worked great. Music played with no problem. Yesterday started to have a problem where music playback started to stutter and eventually stop, but only when the screen is off. Tried Poweramp and Google Music, same problem.
I think there is some issue with the system when the screen is off , as notification sounds are also disrupted, and the lock screen is very laggy when trying to wake the phone up. When the screen is on there is no problem with general operation, music playback is fine, as is video, streaming,etc. This problem has resulted in the phone freezing entirely a couple of times and I've had to remove the battery to reset.
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone found a solution?
I updated to 10.1.3 to see if this would make any difference, but no change. I am going to reflash to see if that cures it and will post back if it does.

I had the same issue, until i stumbled over this easy solution. If you are using poweramp or any other music player where you can change the audio buffer, just increase the buffer and the problem should be fixed....
While trying to watch YouTube it randomly stops dead. If I tap a spot on the time line the video quickly starts again. I've had this thing about 5 hours and it is seriously getting on my nerves. Add to the fact that the chrome browser isn't mirroring I'm about to smash this thing to bits. Any help!?
Netflix seems to work flawlessly.
I've tried improving network connection but that hasn't helped.
YouTube has this issue even when played from the browser on pc.

Exact same problem on my chromecast and is happening only since last evening. As you said, Netflix is flawless and its only With YouTube.
Thank god its not the device but seems like software or YouTube server support for chromecast. Hope it will get a fix pretty soon
This started happening to me last night. Youtube will freeze after about 2:20. It will start again if I skip forward or back, but only for another 2 mins. Have never had a problem before and Netflix works fine. I'm glad it's not just me.
Are either of you able to cast your tabs to your TV screen? Because I am also unable to get that to work from my pc to the Chromecast.
I had the same exact issue last night when watching YouTube. It would stop dead, and the only way it would start back, was when I tap the stopped point on the timeline as well.

Even casting the chrome browser tab had issues.... but after a while it worked... I am pretty sure even the chrome tab cast is lill messed up... Looks like the chromecast got a software upgrade which is causing these issues....
Does anyone know if there was a software upgrade yesterday?
Update:
I just exchanged the unit I had for another one but unfortunately I'm having the same issues. The unit itself force updates on startup which is a shame. It would be nice to do a revert and see if the old software functions correctly.
Youtube freezing
Same problem with me. I have two Chromecasts and Youtube stops on both of them roughly every 2.5 minutes, from both a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 7. On 14th November around noon ET they were fine, but by the evening the problems had started. My Youtube app is showing as having updated on 14th Nov (although it's not showing up in the 'Recently updated' section in the Play app). Rebooting the Chromecasts, the android devices and the network all failed to eliminate the problem.
I have the same problem!!!
Mine seems to be fixed now.
Same here, YouTube was freezing yesterday at about 2 mins into any video. Tried it again tonight with zero issues. Happy, happy, happy...

I just watched a bunch of videos tonight without any issues. I'll try tab cast tomorrow and see if it works. I'd like to know exactly what was wrong. Did Google do an auto update.?
Its seems like Youtube works for non HD videos without problem. HD videos is not playing properly (shuttering, no voice, etc). Shutters more for music videos.

I'm still having problems too, no sound and stuttering video. I have two Chromecasts and they both do it. I'm in the UK though. I'm glad it snot just me, but slightly concerned yours all seem to be working now and mine doesn't
Everything else works fine.
This stuttering on hd videos really aggravating. My 3 year old is unable to watch lungi dance, so now I actually have to be a good parent early on a Saturday morning. Damn you Google!

I just tested a few HD vids and yes there was stuttering, almost If the Chromecast couldn't buffer properly.
same issue here in germany, tested with Nexus 4, 5, 7 and chrome on Pc
From today morning YouTube app is not loading from the chrome cast. From mobile app, I am getting no network try again message.
I have a feeling that Google is going kill the device silently.

Ever since I bought my Nokia 8, I haven't been able to play any Facebook videos smoothly. I click on the video, it starts and stops. Then I have to hit the play button over and over. Sometimes it pauses, shows the loading thingy but audio keeps going and finally it crashes the app and re-opens it at the beginning of my timeline. I am hating this problem so much. I contacted Nokia support twice and after making me uninstall and reinstall the app again they came to the conclusion it's FB's fault. They say it may be also my internet connection which I am sure is wrong as I use other six devices at home and work and all work perfectly but my Nokia. I submitted a report on Facebook but they haven't responded yet. Does someone here have a similar issue? Should I take it to warranty to have them check it out? Thanks!
Hmm strange I have no issue like that. Have you tried some other app like YouTube or Vimeo.
Try the Facebook web page also.
I used to have that issue but not noticed it so much these days. Specially after going to oreo beta. Videos used to stop like a thumbnail and audio used to play in the background. Worked only is full screen till I moved the slider to rewind or move forward and that used to crash the app every single time. Multiple feedbacks given to Nokia and FB and I am not sure which one fixed it but it is working AOK now.
Calm down. It's an issue with the facebook app, not with the phone. A lot of people including me faced this issue regardless of the phone make.
