(Survey) Attention Android YouTube App Users - Android Apps and Games

Dear XDA-Community,
It has come to my attention to all the dislike comments on the YouTube android app in the marketplace and somewhat on this forum. After countless problems in the app ( stops, freezes, crashes etc) I decided to take charge of this situation. Instead of blasting the developers of the app, I decided to help them... With that said I have created a video explaining the problem I'm personally having with the application, also I took it a step further and created a web-based form with a series of questions. This is was all done 3 days ago and believe or not the YouTube team has responded to me and thanked me for my work. They also wanted me to send the data I collected from my form. So by filling out the form from the link below, I'll be able to send it to them and they can access the problem.
So what I'm asking you guys to Do?
1) Please visit the form and answer all the questions. (Click Here)[est. 35 secs]
2) Watch the video I posted and comment on it. (View Here)
3) That's all, watching the video is completely optional, but filling out the form is required.
Without them knowing our problems how do expect this situation to be fixed? Let Us Help Them Help Us

Thanks for taking up the case with Google regarding the new app.
Will keep an eye on this, Sam.

I find it strange how some people have major issues with some apps and others don't. The youtube app works great for me.

I guess that's absolutely fine. People are different from each other after all

Very cool!

Great Idea! good job =P
maybe now they'll start moving their a**es and fix the damn app..

this is what I like, people who doesn't just talk and complaining but do something useful.
I like your style man. Willing to fill in the form, but I'm not having any problems with my YouTube App (which I use on regular basis)

Its a good initiative!!! althought I am using the app over wifi.. i didn't see any problem yet.. I still gave the survey

Dear Forum,
Come on and help pass this post around and get memebers to complete the survey. Youtube can't do much when they have less than 20 submits. For them to actualy get a good feedback there needs to be at least 50 survey respnses. I'm kinda disappointed becasue everyone sits and complains but, when theres help or a way to fix the problem nobody likes taking action.
PLEASE TAKE THE SURVEY
Survey

filled it in
free bump!
maybe we should get this onto the XDA portal; pass this onto the news crew so they publish it on to the XDA front page

Yes we should. Thanks Again!

Great! Thanks!

That would be fantastic if you could, I need to get as much exposure on this as possible I should probably mention that it runs on Froyo & Gingerbread, requires an ARM7 processor and also works nicely on my Vega Tegra2 Tablet...
I am about to start on my second game now and am anxious that this one helps pave the way for gaining a reputation for quality pick up and play games...
Game instantly force closes when launched on my Droid X.
Very funny game, thumbs up. How log did it take you, to code it?
graphics could be more refined. Loading times are long and I kept thinking that it hung but it eventually started. Good start though. Played on HTC Desire Z.
21mb? We need a move to SD option please.

All sorted : check the game again - it should want to update to allow app2sd
Following the link i get "The requested application can not be found". I thought it was blocked in my country (Romania) so I installed Market Enabler and faked TMobile USA.
Any other sugetstions? Can you someone post .apk?
My phone is LG P500, CM7.
Strange tudorsirb,
I have it set for all regions in the market, please try again. Otherwise I will sort out a copy for you...
Regards,

Feel free to post reviews guys and girls. Good or Bad. I can handle it... Although that does mean you have to download it too
Runs Great on my Epic 4g!! Pretty interesting, will have to play more and see what i think of it.
So Far:
1. Nice Graphics
2. Good accelerator Controls
One thing i noticed is it froze for a second when i first turned using the accelerator i waited a few seconds and unfroz and played fine.
just a note.
Look forward to playing it some more.
Any suggestions for getting this to work on my Droid X?
Ok played a couple more levels preey good
Things that need improvement:
Freezing every so often right as you start a new level, then no freezing til another level starts
Accelerator controls need to be a little more responsive.
Other then that it is pretty fun!!!
Im getting irritated i keep running into fences and losing 75 pts
lol
Im installing it right now on my sister's Droid Incredible. I'll let ya know what I think. But may I ask one question? How did you start learning about programming? I just started studying Java this week. And im watching the Programming methodology lectures on Stanford's Youtube channel and reading "Head first Java". I would just like to know how you approached learning to make software and if you"re more of a self taught programmer or if you took classes.Thanks.
Larry,
Firstly, I am completely self taught... it took a lot of late nights and banging my head against the wall to complete Honeyrun HD!
And davidrules,
The stopping at the start... to be honest I'm not sure, I noticed it on my Desire HD but it doesn't happen on the tegra2 tablet or the iPad version... I will look into it again soon...
also, can I ask you all to tweet or Facebook the free link...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mspacemedia.honeyrunFree
I'd ask you to do the ios version but I would get flamed

This feature should have been there from beginning ... So others can see if a developer answers to a doubt or fix who are in same situation

Honestly I'm the same.
It should've been there since the start. But then again, iOS doesn't have it. So it seems like were not "late".
It would be good if the user got an email notifying them that the Dev has replied to them.

Wish they could let other users reply to reviews as well. I get really annoyed when I see someone leave a bad review for an app due to their lack of knowledge. For example any popular app that clearly states it requires root will usually have some 1 star reviews saying it doesn't work on my phone.

Don't get me started on that. And also the "how do I root my [email protected] <insert phone here>???!!!?!" comments. They're just utterly childish. But we do have the option to rate the comment down.
Haven't seen any other Developers using the new feature yet (better give them time, it only came out yesterday ), but hope the use it soon. It's useful.

Same. developers have to feed all users even if the requests are stupid, otherwise they will get 1 star. Why not also rating to users?
And this is only offered to TOP developers at this time.
come on devs give this to normal devs already

15th of August 2014.
Cordyceps has a foothold in humans across the globe. This fungal-based infection rapidly reproduces in the brain of the host, influencing their actions and eventually resulting in physical deformation.
You're a survivor. You don't know if there's anyone else.
Over the past month you've noticed something strange in the behavior of the infected, they appear to travel in packs; although packs may be the wrong word. A 'Swarm' is a more appropriate way to describe the hundreds of infected pursuing lone survivors.
You don't know when the people you used to call friends are going to come for you but you do know that they will. Armed with nothing more than your own two feet you have to delay the inevitable, but for how long?
This is Swarm.
Please message me about any glitches or errors that occur and I will gladly fix them!
I'm also willing to take any suggestions you have, and will include ideas for new zombies.
A review or a share would help me out a lot, everything in the game including the 'artwork' (I use the term loosely) was produced by a single developer.
-----Copy and paste from the Play Store, and yes I'm hopping on the 'cordyceps' hype train after experiencing the brilliant 'The Last of Us'. Everything in this game was made by one person who is fairly new to it all. The game is somewhat a work in progress and I will no doubt add more feature and more types of zombies in the coming days. The game is struggling at the moment so I appreciate any buys I get, hence the lowered price to £0.50, this may go up as the game becomes more polished and sells more!
Thanks a lot for reading, I'd appreciate any ideas, and would love your 50p's
If an experienced member of the forum wants a review copy I'd be happy to issue one!
EDIT: Screenshots!

I've got them both.
Concerning the game: It sounds interesting, but have you thought of providing a trial version? And some more pictures in the Play Store showing off more of the game would be nice, too.
I'm not gonna buy an app, no matter what it costs, out of the blue sky, without trying it first. You cannot rely on your reputation as developer, as we all don't know you.

The link is now for the trial version
Atm is exactly the same as the paid version is, however once the trial version in finished I will being taking a more RPG style approach with the paid version and it'll have things the free version doesn't. I don't know if I described that well but its all explained on the store page.

techhelpfox appearing in many searches

this doesnt exactly have to do with mobile devices , but im sick of techhelpspot results appearing in most of my google searches that would otherwyse send XDA results, the only thing that site does is steal the info here in the forums, and then giving you a link to xda (and other tech sites)
i cant see a way to block it , so i wanted to make sure its not something in my pc hijacked or anything else.
example using google.com (us) example search: galaxy s3 clock aokp
here is an example image with results:

another one: atrix hd swype apk
any idea why is this happening or if its only me?
i hate to go there just to click on a link that will bring me here, i think that site is new, xda results used to come on top before.
*MODS if not correct forum section please move or delete. thank you
Happens to me too.. hate it. It's just spam search engine designed to steal ad revenue :/

It's basically a search engine but designed for finding similar questions. Kind of useful, but also a bit annoying.
When you do a Google search, just include
site:forum.xda-developers.com
At the start and it will only search within the XDA forums.

XDA wasn't even on the first page, yet all the information on techstupid was from XDA...
After submission, Google suggested this add-on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-webspam-report-by/efinmbicabejjhjafeidhfbojhnfiepj , which I have to say I will use relentlessly, and I recommend you do the same. It allows you to navigate to the webspam site, then click a button and have the form auto-filled for you.
Maybe even better though, is this add-on, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/personal-blocklist-by-goo/nolijncfnkgaikbjbdaogikpmpbdcdef which allows you to click "Block xxxxx.com" from the search results. I think I'll report a few hundred techstupid pages and then click the blocker.
Hope this helps someone else!
Reported to Google! Hate this site so much, waste my time on every search. Hope this stupid techhelpfox.com site to die soon.

Xiaomi note 10 pro - cc9 pro - Mi 10 edge screen problem

Samsung does not have this problem. xiaomi and huawei completely reduced edge sensitivity. It does not rise. There is software blocking.

Here, fw and patch shares are made. There are developers here. There are suggestions and requests. People who receive other phones every day are not here. They are using Amazon .com only.
If you don't like it, go. The camera of this phone is very nice. that's why I bought it. But this screen is tiring. I am having problems with all the graphics programs I use. If it is an uncorrected problem, I will sell it.

My point is that you already wrote about this, and it's 3 thread about this, and you spam another thread also, and it's look like you are the only one who has that problem. So maybe try to send back your phone if you have warranty?!
There's a lot smart people here but is free will community work, and if this is not common problem no one will sitt and tray to fix your problem, that is probably hardware issue. If you have a knowledge a time and resources to fix this problem, then do it and share it if you want to share. Don't spam the forum.

this is a different video. a different content.
You're wrong when they say other things.
There are articles on reddit and many sites that have this problem.
People who draw, those who use apk using the edges are uncomfortable.
My habit of using screens doesn't concern anyone.
Joyful ; Maybe you just watch movies and just take photos.
I do not know.
There is no hardware problem on the screen.
Understand this, please.
This is a fw problem.
Hello.
