Youtube On new Nexus S not working

Hello,
We have a brand new Nexus S (model GT-I9023FSAXEN). Everything works only the youtube app is not functioning.
The app is installed but we can't stop it or clean cash in manage apps( butons are all greyed out)
New install from the market is not possible and a factory reset brings no solution?
Please advice.
The weird thing is that there are more people with this new model and a non working Youtube app.
Thanks

You can root the phone and delete/uninstall the Youtube and then reinstall it.
How exactly is the app not working?

Root is not an option
Youtube is not vissible in the app drawer, in the market it says it is installed, in manage apps youtube is visible but all the buttons are greyed out (so we can't stop the proces or clear cash)

If root isn't a option the youtube isn't a option then. Because you're unable to make modifications to /system/ your only way out of this is to exchange for a new phone. Or root it

I have exactly the same problem! Very odd. Accessing the Youtube mobile site is fine, but clunky compared to what an app could provide

I have the same problem with the nexus s youtube app. Would it be possible to root and re install a working version then un root and go back to stock?

Try clearing data from Google partner setup.

This same issue was just discussed a few day ago. This is how they fix it.

[Q] adfree app is blocking flash vids on my captivate's browser from cbs.com??

When I go 2 cbs full web site and try to click on video, I get a message saying that this video is being blocked bcuz I have an ad blocker or the video is no longer available. I went 2 my apps & uninstalled adfree & rebooted but still get same message. The app is showing up in tb still, but it is showing up as crossed out cuz I deleted my backups of the app there. Can someone please help that knows anything about adblockers cuz I have no idea what 2 do. Samsung advised me that I should probably master clear my phone, but that would b a pain in my azz.

You will need to down adfree again. Open it up and hit the "revert" button. That will restore your hosts. Then reboot and you will be fine. Even though you deleted the app, it still changed your host files. After you have reverted and rebooted, you can uninstall again.

Thanks jayharper...I did a restore of adfree from TB, then hit the revert button in the app & rebooted & CBS works like a charm! Now do I still have 2 uninstall adfree or can I leave it as is since my flash vids r working on CBS?

Sorry, just realized you responded back You will be fine either way, you can uninstall or leave and you will still be good.

Phiremod ....- Video, Netflix, Facebook
Running Phiremod 7 Test 2. Constantly getting "android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly." It interrupts my typing. Comes up every 5 seconds! Also, Facebook, Netflix not working. Plus, video on CBS won't play and says "Video is unavailable or is being blocked by an ad blocker on the browser.' Could REALLY use some help!

Running "fix permissions" from recovery could take care of your force close problem.

Thanks, I had already run Fix Permissions and rebooted. The android.process.media error does seem to have stopped. Any ideas about Facebook or Netflix not operating and force-closing? Thanks again for the reply.

I would "clear data" of both applications (via manage applications), reboot to recovery, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, then reboot (it will take a while to boot).
Sent from the most interesting device in the world.

Thanks again, but now again android.process.media is popping up every 5 seconds. The 5 icons at the bottom are now + signs. I found a way to change the icons and have them operate for various functions. I will attempt Fix Permissions again for the error popping up. And Netflix and Facebook still don't run. I just flashed to Phiremod 7 two days ago & haven't been able to get them to run. Re-downloaded them but no luck... : (

That's weird. Did you wipe data when flashing?
Sent from the most interesting device in the world.

I did indeed. So, I re-flashed and got the icons and functions back. Still no Facebook, Netflix, but now oddly, YouTube is working. : ) I'll leave well-enough alone. Would love to get online video running and especially Netflix. But thanks for the replies.

That would've been my next suggestion (re-flashing). I'm not sure about Netflix, but I'd expect Facebook to be working. Hm, idk. I've uninstalled mine because it was holding a wakelock longer than I'd prefer.
Sent from the most interesting device in the world.

Hm, I replied to you but don't see the post. I did wipe data when flashing. It was part of the instructions. Anyway, I'll be happy with things as they are for now, but would really like to get video online running and especially Netflix. Thanks again for trying to help.

No problem. Maybe someone else will know how to completely work out your kinks.

Apps installing by themselves

Hey I was wondering if anyone else has had apps install by themself, over the past few days a couple of apps have somehow showed up on my home screen. They don't show up under the app drawer or under apps in settings. Also ever since these started coming thru I keep getting notifications for other stuff like "lose belly fat" and "job offers starting at $325 and hour". I'm currently running aokp m6 if it helps. I've done a full wipe and it stopped for a day and then came back. I'll post some screen shots of the apps.
P.s. the ones installing automatically are the last three above the PayPal widget.

I too had some Apps install on their own. But they were apps I had before I attempted a NANDROID Restore, which for some odd reason failed and killed my Boot. So I was forced to re-flash my stock boot/ROM on my S3 (AT&T Flavor) and repeat the Rooting process. But once I started looking through my app drawer, some of these apps were being re-installed. Odd, perhaps some internal back-up that I'm not aware of on ICS.

Yea these are random apps that aren't even from the play store. When I click on them they open the browser and take me to a page to sign up for a subscription.

Have you installed recently any pirate app? An app not bought or downloaded from Android market?
I saw some apps that installs a patch that brings/installs apps and shortcuts on your cellphone. Tô solve this Just delete the program or patch and use an antivirus Just in case...
Good luck

same issue
I'm having this issue but its legit apps keep "updating" themselves baxk after I uninstall them
ie: bbm, flashify, (more I can't think off atm)

Some of the apps has Adware build in it, which means if you download the App, it will spam your Home screen full.
You can fix this problem by manually delete it everytime, to fix it permantly you need to delete the app.

Are you sure you uninstalled the right one?
also do you have any virus on your phone? I don't think this is the problem though.

Yes multiple times
Today I went as far as deleting history of them being installed in the app store... Waiting to see if they are back tomorrow
Update: still happening. Resorting to auto update off and still having to stop installs... Something to do with rebooting, or its triggering it

Hello.
I've been having an issue with Youtube. It gives me this error with the app and the website doesn't work. Any advice?
Here are my specs
- Phone: HTC One V PrimoC
Carrier: Virgin Mobile USA
Rom: Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta
Kernel: Supersick 1-21-13

Do you have an actual data connection going? (that may be WiFi or a GSM/CDMA data connection)
Can you load other websites, and use apps for online services like Facebook & Twitter?

CDMA and everything loads fine. Wifi and 3g work.

You could try to clear the data of the YouTube application:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Youtube -> Force Stop -> Clear Data
Other than that, do other applications that stream video work?

Hello had this issues before an hour and deleting and reinstalling youtube helped
clean also the catch to be sure.

Fix
For me nothing worked until this:
For youtube tried to clean data restart and so on, till I uninstalled update and now it works. I think they try to implement something so you can't watch from other country as my phone think I'm from US but I'm in Europe or they made really poor app.
Crappy version: 5.1.10
My version: 4.4.11

same here..youtube videos cant be played with other apps like supertube as well..have uninstalled all ad blocking services and still the same error. the only thing i did few days ago was deodexed my rom..could that be the reason??
Edit: solved by reinstalling flash

Clear the data of media storage and reboot. This should definitely work.

I accidentally blocked the Android media server with a firewall, re-enabling it solved the problem. Using the newest version of the YT app.

Camera problems

Since the recent camera update I've had nothing but trouble with the built in Google camera app. After I take a picture the Nexus 5 will often freeze with all 4 cores of the CPU churning away. The only way to restore the phone is to reboot. I don't know if it is a bug in the program or a conflict with another app or something to do with my xprivacy settings.
I tried settings / apps and "uninstall updates", reboot, but that didn't help. I finally gave up and now use "cameraMX" app which lets me take pictures without freezing the phone. So I'm OK but I wonder if others have had the same experience. I also would like to get the apk of the kitkat camera app before the latest update to install and try. Anyone have it?

For OP,
u using what rom?
n mostly your's camera apps have bad GAPPS sectors
send my signature phone to XDA w bad grammars via Google Chorme

Stock kitkat.

Turn off location in the app
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Location was already turned off.
I am now using version 2.0.002 which I think is the older version. Just used the camera now to test it and it worked fine. Yesterday using the updated camera, it constantly froze so I could not even take one picture and needed to reboot constantly. I assume location was also turned off in that updated version too. Will not update again to find out.

What is GAPPS and how do I fix bad GAPPS sectors?

Google camera continues to cause me problems! I've given up on it. CameraMX works fine and even takes clearer pictures.
