Check your wifi connection

WiFi is fine for everything else. I can play video from other web sites just Youtube does not work via the app or website. The three other phones the rest of the family has have no problems

What type of router do you have? Does your router have QoS? If so log into the router and bump up your phones priority in QoS. alternately you can power cycle the router when no other devices are present except yours, and see of the problem persists.

Ok i got its working. So here is my fix incase any one else has this issue.
I pulled up the app click the wifi button to turn on tethering and As the screen was up saying its was turning on i hit the back arrow to back out. Then turned tethering off and back on, boom it works
Weird fix but good to know just incase

This helped my problem too, thanks

Sometimes wifi tethering is inconsistent for me too. I usually try switching profiles between generic ics to galaxy nexus cdma/lte.
Also lately I've been using the widget to switch on and off tethering rather than opening up the app and so far its been working more consistently

Google Play on slow internet connection

Hello xda forums,
When I try to connect to google play it says "connection timed out". I think the cause of this is my slow internet connection. I bought 1 GB unlimited internet service from my provider and after I used the 1 gb with speed they cut my internet speed to 96 kbps (as I agreed to that). I was able connect just fine before I used the 1 gb. Anyways I think thats the reason. I tried to remove updates on both hoohle play app and service, still, none helped. I wont be able to connect to a strong wifi until sunday and it is really bad that I cant download any apps or in app purchases. Is there any way I can pass this? Is there any way for me to connect to google play with this connection? I can use the internet (obviously -.-) just fine, its just a little slow. Any ideas?
Thanks..

I've had the same issue on slow internet connections. I'm not sure you can do anything to make the connection faster than it is. Do you have a data plan, or is there a coffee shop with free internet somewhere near by? Those could be possible short term solutions.

Disable background data and ads.
Internet connection speed may increase. Use Firewalls.

If I were in the city I would solve it by going to a place with internet or my home internet but I'm in a country-side place so no internet cafe's or shops with internet is present.
And yes ia have a data plan, but my data plans speed is slow giving me 96 kbps speed (around 12 kilobytes/second) but I'm free to use it unlimited without any extra charges and background apps wont help it..

I fixed it, found out that it was "freedom" somehow blocking google play.. Disabled and re-enabled, works like a charm....

Glad you got it working, I was gonna say, at 96kb/s it should still work fine.
I have a similar plan that after 600MB it goes from max speed down to 128kb/s and it still works fine albeit slower.

[Q] Laggy Youtube App

Hello there,
I compared the Nexus 5's YouTube playback with a Nexus 4 and an iPhone 5s, and it feels as though the video on the N5 is pixelated and choppy. Are any of you guys seeing problems in YouTube quality?

Yes I do. YouTube seems choppy.

It probably needs to be updated

Are you on WiFi or 3g?
I noticed a similar problem when I was on WiFi.
Then I ran a speed test on my network... Now, I usually get around 38 Mbps on my laptop... but my N5 was like 1.5mbps max... I went in to advanced wifi settings and changed it from "auto" chanel mode, to just 2.4ghz mode, and then changed my wifi routers chanel... I'm now getting around 27mbps on wifi and youtube is great

Thanks for the reply. I am on WiFi, and I changed to 2.4ghz mode to see if it made a difference. Sadly, it didn't help at all.
NOOOOO! I get all OCD over things like this.

I hope so. My next door neighbor also bought a N5, so i'll compare share the results.

[Q] Wifi Drop

I have a rooted Nexus5 which aint running any custom rom. I have noticed that my wifi drops . the icon shows active on the status bar but there is no data transfer.
i thought it could be one of the xposed modules which might be interfering so i unrooted my phone and put it back to stock. The wifi signals were fine for a day or so and i am now facing the same problem again.
I downloaded the Wifi Analyser app from the play store to check if there is any interference from other routers in the vicinity. I have changed the channels multiple times but to no avail. At the same time my laptop & desktop connects fine to the router.
I am currently running stock 4.4.2 build # KOT49H

Try an app called "Root- Push Notifications Fixer". There are two versions one that requires a rooted device and one that does not I use the rooted one and off hand cannot remember the difference. Below is the playstore link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer&hl=en
This app resolved a WiFi issue I was having. I originally blamed my router/device but it was neither. I use it on both my Nexus 5 and 10. Read the app description for the issue it addresses.
Good luck.

I had something similar on my Nexus 5. The wifi speed would drop dramatically at random and it looked like web pages had stopped loading. My connection is 25Mb but the N5 would drop to 1-2Mb. I'd then have to turn wifi off and on to get the speed back up.
After searching around for the same issue a few people suggested turning off mobile data while using wifi. After doing this the speed has never dropped. I've since set up a Tasker profile to turn mobile data off when connected to wifi and back on when wifi is out of range/off.
Might be worth a try.

Its helping mate . will try it for a day or two to see how it works .

Me, I've tried everything and nothing helped at all. App Wi-Fi Analyzer tells me no signal. Tried a few kernels also. Waiting for rc of cyanogenmod to see if anything will change.

guys , looks like i have finally sorted the problem. I called my ISP and he suggested that it could be a looping issue with the router. He advised a hard reset which i have done now. i can now connect to wifi with my phones

sometime my Wi-Fi lost data even the connection is still on. I'm using Franco kernel r32. I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
