I've noticed one annoying problem with youtube. If I am not watching a clip, just browsing through my subscription list and switch to another app and back to youtube, the list just defaults back to top to the first clip. Every time. It's as if there is no multitasking of youtube.
Sometimes after watching a clip and going back to the list the same thing happens.
Everything is stock, Z3 unlocked version.
Anyone has this problem?
I've found almost every app I used restarts barring games.

Its common android problem, not sony.
Is it a YouTube problem or more generalised?
YouTube and android in general.
Go to google play, my apps or anywhere, go to main menu of phone and go back go google play with multitasking you will see that you are back at top..

It's more of android. I had like that on my nexus 7 2013.

Which method of downloading and searching for apps do you guys use most now since theres finally a first party website for apps. Do you still use the market place app OR the website?
I've found the website to be unreliable. It never shows my installed apps correctly. It won't show even half of what is installed but it will show apps that I uninstalled three months ago. I've tried downloading six different apps from the site, none ever downloaded. Plus, I rarely use my laptop anymore since I can do most of what I need to do on my Evo just as easily.
So... the app.

Not sure why it matters what we used but I am going to guess both for most people. On your computer lets use the web. On your phone lets use the app. Since I use both I can't vote.
Website (mostly)
Reason:
1. Easier searching and browsing
2. Much easy to understand what the app is doing
3. No big issue in terms of installing, it's real fast, once I click ok in browser, the phone start to download near immediately.
Website when i'm at the computer. So most of the time.

Plainjane is right, the site is really unreliable, but only if you check your instqlled apps. I prefer the market on my phone, but it is easier to use the website's push install (especially when you want to install a lot of apps in a short time)

The list of installed app on the website for me is broken beyond broken (shows every app I have ever installed instead of which ones are currently installed)
But I do use the website more. As much as I love my vision, I like the bigger screen size on my monitor
i use the web market of cause because it is so esay to use and totaly somoth
ya like others, i don't have any big issues with the web market. i like it & its UI. i mix it up from time to time tho

Market on the phone. Mostly when I install the app I want to use it immediately. When going to the website it takes about 5 minutes between the time I push the install button and the installation actually happening on my phone.
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.

thanks. that worked for me.
I want to run Google maps and YouTube apps rather than the browser versions, but there is no option I can select like my p1000 had when I clicked a link. Any way to do this? The browser versions suck.

I have no trouble running the apps. In fact, I think it came with the YouTube app installed.

Yes they're both pre-installed it just doesn't goto the app when a YouTube link is pressed, it just plays it in the browser and no choice to use the app instead

I don't have my Tab at work, so I'll check when I get home, but I didn't think that they opened in the browser. Youtube may (I don't remember for certain), but I'm almost certain Google maps does not. Of course, I may have just be oblivious to it, so I'll have to check to be sure.

Have you tried updating or reinstalling the apps from the Marketplace?
Just took a closer look. Maps is a standalone app (I think it was around 30 MB). YouTube doesn't open in the normal browser, but i do think it's possibly just a link that opens the browser with certain functions disabled as it's only 68k, but doesn't have the normal browser menu options.

I don't think I am getting my message across clearly. This is an example. If you install a new browser and then do a Google search, it will then ask you which browser to open up the search with. This is how it is on my p1000 with map links and YouTube links when browsing and pressing links. On the p6200 it is not giving this option. It just runs them inside of the browser.

YouTube is pre-installed and not on the market here with Honeycomb. Maps is up to date and reinstalled. I just think its something usefull that has been removed from Honeycomb. Maybe Google think the web versions are just as good on honeycomb which I would disagree with.

Seems to only be from the browser. If I open a link outside of the browser it gives me the option for the apps..Its odd why they have made it this way.
OK, I did misunderstand you. I see what you're saying now, and I think mine does exactly the same thing. Not sure if there's an option to change that default behavior or not.

Weird. Mine works exactly as it should. When I click on a YouTube link from the Dolphin browser (don't use the stock browser), a pop-up will ask me what I want to open it with and the YouTube app is one of the choices. Same thing with Maps. Maybe it's a browser setting in your tablet? What browser are you using? Or is the problem that you have a non-US tablet model (different stuff set up for international models)?
Yes it's a browser issue, I use stock. I've tried dolphin browser and it works fine with links to external apps.

This morning I was checking my Gmail on my Nexus 5 (running 4.4.2). While I am annoyed but accepting about the ad-mails in the promotions folder (that's basically what it's for, right?) I was scared ****less.
Still half asleep, my phone suddenly blurted out loud:
"YOU HAVE WON A FREE APP, SHAKE YOUR PHONE TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE"
wtf? we get voice ads now? Is this actually Gmail or some other malicious app?
Can I turn it off?
Had it again. Last part of the message was:
shake your phone now to get your free app
anyone have this too? I was running Kik now...
Sounds like a dodgy app that, as it doesn't appear to be singled out to gmail. When did it start and what did you install recently that might have caused it?

I'd fully agree, but i can't find any weird apps.
I did install an app to look for backgrounds, but deleted that again. Other then that, nothing I haven't had in a while.
Is there any way I can dump a list of processes or apps here?
Try OS Monitor, a great app that's supposed to show all running tasks.
Hey everyone,
I've had my Nexus 5 since its initial release on CyanogenMod or various other stable ROMs. Anyways just today I began seeing these small, but obnoxious ads in-app. I don't download random apps, click on random bs links, or visit/browse through shady websites.
The ads are a wide rectangle near the top of the screen. There's a little x at the top left and an 'opt out' on the bottom right. It leads to a web page that essentially wants you to submit your IMEI, device ID and other information...or download/install an apk to "automatically" opt out of the ads.
I installed a few different antivirus/security apps to no avail of isolating any sort of virus/malware. I then ran the optout.apk through said antivirus apps and it came clean. So against my better judgement I installed the app and opted out, then deleted the application as instructed.
The ads still populate over my screen while using most apps - Google Play, Candy Crush, Whatsapp, Facebook, Snapchat, etc.
I've had Android devices dating back to the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I have not come across anything like this.
*Anyone else having this issue or know anything about it?*
P.S. While writing this post, I tried to include a screen shot but of course now the ads aren't showing themselves. I'll update the post when it inevitably returns.
Thank you all for your attention.
Sounds dodgy mate, I recommend you clean wipe and flash with no app backups restored.
I too had this. i wiped my phone clean, everything. then installed new rom and started afresh. i tried alsorts too but it became a joke.

My friends this happens having installed some apps related to wallpaper and backgrounds ... you maybe installed "aquarium 3d" or "backgrounds premiumHD" of "Pixign"? still come this way ...
What above comment says is true. There are some apps on the Play Store that enforce random ads around your daily usage.
I would recommend clean flashing, using AdAway(you can find on Google) and lastly, keep a close eye on what happens after each app is installed.

Only type of wallpaper app I had was "Premium Wallpaper HD." Looking at its reviews this app is the cause of these popups! . Obviously got rid of it but I will continue to assess the situation in case there are any other apps causing issues. Thank you!

Turned out "Premium Wallpaper HD" was causing this mayhem. I've deleted all traces of this app and will continue to monitor the situation. I'll clean flash a new ROM over the weekend, just in case. Also installed AdAway for any further issues. Appreciate the help. :good:
