Can't connect to YouTube videos or Google Voice - General Questions and Answers

Galaxy Note 2 running CyanogenMod 10.1.3 has been working fine for weeks but for the past two days the problem started.
This is really odd because I've made no changes to my device. , but suddenly I cannot connect to Google Voice search, nor can i download and watch any YouTube videos. This doesn't happen intermittently, but of all the times I tried I haven't been able to connect.
I can still visit any other websites and on YouTube the comment section as well as video thumbnails all show up. I tried different WiFi networks the same behavior occurs.
What makes it more strange is that at the same time this occurred, I also started getting similar errors on my other device a Dell Venue 8 Pro. On that device I can watch youtube videos on Firefox browser, but they do not load from internet explorer and I cannot start Google Chrome browser.
My other devices work perfectly fine and have no issues watching YouTube or using Google Voice Search .

using ultimate 2.2 rom
This really pisses me off. I watch YouTube like all the time. I have a G2 and that has no problems.
G2x just has issues and this YouTube debacle is like the final insult. Browser has stopped forced close on 174 but was forced to stop browser. Its is only two.issues affecting cm 2.3.7
Switched back to nightlies
also Netflix stopped working so went to a backup. No video just audio
miui is a cyan base rom
and the browser version works ok but the youtube app is giving loading issues
so y u just open youtube from browser?easy and same as youtube app
or u can uncheck option that force u to use mobile site
so u can open youtube as desktop site
much better really couse u have all feature of desktop site
full screen
like comments while watching
playlist etc
Yeah my YouTube app takes way to long to load. The browser works fine for me though

Try using the latest cm nightly.
it's the rom.... i also had the issue and i still do even with EB 2.3.5 and as well as the cm7 stabled Gb version.... not only with the youtube app but on some of the websites had flash issues where videos were just green lines. so i switched back to EB 2.3.3 stock Gb version. Devs are working as to finding out the problem but still no luck.
I tried the latest nightly 174 and loaded videos instantly this morning.
Will keep trying the Nightly ROMs. Will report back if I encounter the issue again.
Prefer the Youtube app, just faster.

Youtube Slow issue found
What I did I uninstalled both adobe flash player and youtube app and using dolphin web browser for youtube. I tried all those videos again through dolphin and got the instant response on my almost 2mega Byte connection. So, I guess I have to live without youtube app.

Well I recently switched from LG Stock Rom to CM7.1 stable on my P990, and have the same issue. I'm glad that its not just me having slow loading of YouTube videos on the phone. Thanks for sharing the information that the nightly build of CM might help solve the issue. How many others have been successful with that build?
I can confirm that recent nightly builds are no longer causing slow loading of videos in YouTube app. I installed CM7.1 #204
I'm happy

I'm on the same boat,
Hello Fellas,
I spent hours today trying to set up video chat applications in may N8013.
I found and installed 5 different apps from the market, One of them has a video that shows you how to set it up, it last 35 minutes,,,wtf? That's longer than flashing my phone and installing all my apps,,,and the video app is older than the new app and it's sooo confusing.
Is there any way to have FACEBOOK VIDEO CHAT WORKING that doesn't take all day?
Thanks a lot in advance, i hope this thread help other too.

Can't watch videos

I installed an unofficial cm rom on my note 10.1 n8010 for about three weeks ago. Everything worked fine except for the videos. I cant watch any videos at all. On for example youtube I get an error that says "There was an error while trying to play the video". Gallery videos wont play either.
Ive searched on Google and it seems to be that the hardware acceleration is broken. Ive tried to do a full wipe and I have even installed another cm based rom, but still no success.
Does anyhone else have this problem or is it just me?
In desperat need of help. Dont know what to try next...

hi,
i have issues with video playback on the 8013 running gnabo and omni.
the workaround seems to be tubemate and deselecting the play in page option.
you will need to download it on your pc though since the site download
from within android fails.

Can't Play Video, Video Not Found - Google Photos and Google+

Awesome phone so far. I've had it about 2 weeks. This is the first real issue I've had:
When I try to play a video in a Google+ post I get "Can't Play Video". Embedded Youtube videos in Google+ work fine though. When I try to play a video in my Google Photos collection, I'll get "Video not found." and then a few seconds later, "Can't play video." The exception to this is videos that I've recorded with this phone and backed up to Google Photos. Those play fine but the phone can't play any of my older videos.
All the Google+ and Photos videos play fine from my old Android phone and my PC. Any ideas?
So far, I've tried clearing the app data and cache on Google+ and Google Photos. I also tried enabling Nu Player in Developer Options.
Edit: I just tried using Chrome instead of the Google Photos app and the videos played fine. For the Google+ videos, Chrome can't play them, but Firefox can.
I discovered the same "can't play video" issue in G+ videos but YouTube ones play fine - I have reported this numerous times to Google and I also tried switching from awesome player to Nu Player in dev options - the only solution so far I've found is to go to Apps and uninstall G+ updates to the stock version - then they play perfectly again - I assume this is a glitch in the 5.0.2 lollipop version, so hopefully we get 5.1 ota or Marshmallow by Christmas as I've seen rumored, I have the carrier unlocked 6045i which I put my $30 a month Tmobile sim in.
I also noticed there seems to be no Minutes used section under mobile and whereas I can set the date range for billing in mobile data, I can't set the wifi usage date range, haven't tried any root yet as I'm hoping for ota to solve these minor bugs, otherwise love the phone also.
Fixed with today's OTA update!
