Hi,
Probably this thread reports the same issue.
Basically when watching or starting to play a video on Youtube, immersive mode stops working or partially stops working since some icons do disappear but battery icon, and screen bottons become dots. Also a dot its visible on the left side of the notifications bar. Here is a screenshot . Bug fixes temporary after closing the app on the multitask button.
I am not rooted, phone is up to date.
To solve the bug I have tried:
- Play the same video after closing and opening Youtube, is not video specific since immersive mode worked fine.
- Disabling Lightflow, only app with permanent notification I use.
To reproduce the bug I have tried.
- Switching between home screen, youtube and different apps to try reproduce the bug.
- Sending me a gmail notification during the video.
No luck trying to reproduce it.
It's not the most problematic bug, but it gets annoying.
Any ideas on how to fix it or reproduce it?
Thanks

I have had the same issue in the past - to be honest, I thought the last update (5.6.36) had made things better but maybe not.
Like you, I could never work out a way to reliably reproduce it. It seemed if you watch 4 or 5 videos back-to-back eventually immersive mode gives up and you have to close and re-load YouTube to get it back.

This is an issue I have consistently, and it's very bothersome. I've searched everywhere for a fix and I can't seem to find anything.
Stock lg g2 will randomly show the notification bar when full screen in youtube app, until I force close the app this issue will continue.
Any way to fix this? It cuts to top and right side of the video and is very annoying.
I've attached two photos of the app in immersive mode and when the problem happens.
Why is that sometimes when i play youtube videos in full screen then all of a sudden it shows the nav bar blank and status bar with the time on it. It looks like its exiting the full screen mode. Sometimes its ok sometimes its not. Looks like a bug to me. Im experiencing this since 4.4.2.

try deleting cache..
First of all, I am not sure whether this is a device issue or an app issue but here's my problem,
When I download snapchat and open it for the first time, it opens in fullscreen and takes fullscreen pictures. The navigation bar is also translucent at this time. However, when I close snapchat and stop it from running in the background then reopen it, the navigation bar is solid black and it no longer takes fullscreen pictures. I have tried uninstalling all other apps to see if they were affecting it, but the problem remains. I have asked everyone I know who also owns an S8/S8+ is they have also experienced this but none of them have. The only solution I have found so far is to uninstall the app and re download it so I'm hoping that someone here knows what is causing this and can help me.
I've never had SC take full screens photo's. Always the black bars.

Upgraded to S7 from S5 - everything is great, except I experience one very annoying issue: many YouTube videos I download for offline viewing (have YouTube Red) start freezing after a few minutes of watching. Sometimes they freeze right away. If I clear the YouTube cache and restart the app it works for a bit and then starts freezing again (the light circle in the middle is rotating and the video keeps frozen).
No freezing happens when I watch YouTube videos over the internet. Some offline videos work fine. But some consistently do not. Never had this issue with Galaxy S5.
Here is what I tried to fix this issue:
- Wiped cache partition
- Reinstalled YouTube (disabled, updated to new version) and restarted the phone
- Enabled Developer Options and Selected Force GRU rendering - this helped a bit, but did not resolve the issue
- Turned off hardware overlays in Developer Options.
- Turned on 4x MSAA in Developer Options.
- Cleared cache in Google Play app
- Switched download storage from SD to phone to eliminate any SD issue
Any ideas?
Hello,
my only idea is that there is not much to try when app crashes, all you can really do is check in the application settings (in the system settings of the phone and then "applications") if it has all the necessary permissions, clear cache as you did but I don't think it has anything to do with developer options like forcing GPU rendering.
So, all I can think of is:
- Write to Google to explain them the bug you encounter, they might have a solution or may release a fix in a future version of the app. As you use Youtube Red, you pay for a service, in the PlayStore you have been able to install the app so it means it's not incompatible with your S7, so you have the right to ask Google for a solution or a refund.
- Try to go on apkmirror and to get an older version of the app, maybe that bug wasn't there in earlier versions.
- Try to download offline videos with LTE, or with Wifi, to see if that change anything. Maybe your LTE connection or Wifi connection isn't stable and cause downloaded files to be corrupted.
Sorry, that's all I can help you with...
EDIT: I don't know how Youtube Red works about downloading videos, but can you choose the quality? Like 360p ou 1080p for example? If yes, then maybe try different quality settings to see if that has any influence on your bug.
In the end, I would probably it is a problem of corrupted files, or a codec problem maybe. I guess you can only read those videos with the Youtube app? If ever the videos are downloaded really like video files in your phone's memory, then maybe you could try an alternate video player to read them (but my guess is that they can only be read from the youtube app).
I'm noticing that on YouTube, after I close the app, and open the app backup, the video plays in a semi full screen mode where I cannot see the content on the side where it normally is. Obviously the workaround is to change it back to portrait mode but that defeats the point of trying to use the app in landscape. What I have been doing so far to alleviate this problem is clearing out the data and cache of YouTube before I open up the app, but as you can tell that gets annoying. I have attached two screenshots. One of them is YouTube the way it should look, the other is showing the problem. Notice the white bar at the bottom. Any fix? I am using a 8013 with 8010 stock rom flashed on it because I wanted KitKat.
