[Q] Youtube app

My youtube app doesn't work and shows in settings as 0.00kb, what can I do to fix this problem?

I'm having the same issue. When I search for it in the market, it says "Open" as though it's installed, but when I click open, it brings me to the install screen. I hit install, it shows the progress bar for a second or two and then goes away. I can see Youtube in the manage apps screen, but not in the app drawer. If anybody has any suggestions here please let me know.
If it's just a select few of us, then maybe I'll try a factory reset. I'd just hate to lose all the setup work I did on it today.

It probably installed the "phone" version of YouTube. Uninstall youtube through settings and that will fix it. It is factory installed as part of the moto rom. Installing the market version conflicts.
It is nice that it preinstalls all the apps you had on your phone, but this has caused issues for some people. I uninstalled every app that was auto installed and then manually installed the apps I wanted.

I did a factory reset and it's on there now. Not the most subtle solution, but it worked.

Anyone with the wifi xoom test the youtube HD playback? Whenever I load an HD video in youtube (fullscreen) and click on the screen to bring up pause, seek bar etc the frame rate gets cut in half and I get massive lag. Is this happening to anyone else?

Here's a sample video.. is it supposed to lag/freeze when you tap the screen to bring up the youtube controls?

It happens when I don't touch the screen sometimes too, even after the video has been fully loaded.
Thanks..

[Q] Q Gmail app won't launch Youtube/Browser

I need some help with my Gmail app on my Xoom.
Yesterday I was watching a Youtube video when my Xoom wouldn't stream any more. I rebooted it and it worked fine except when I try to launch the Youtube or Browser app from Gmail.
I got an email that someone uploaded a video to Youtube and when I click on the video to see it, I should get a pop-up asking if I want to launch it using Youtube or Browser just like it did before my reboot.
Now that never happens, the screen turns grey just like it would launch the pop-up but it never appears. It doesn't block the tablet because if I click on the screen it just goes back to Gmail like I didn't select anything.
Any ideas how can I fix this?
Thanks
No one? Absolutely no ideas what I should try?

I still need some help on this one...so if you've got any ideas please step forward

Having the same issue... and... it seems that clicking on a short cut from anywhere on the xoom produces the greyed out screen. Tried fixing permissions... no luck.
Edit: I found reference to rotating the screen when this happens, which then allows a selection. Fixed my issue.

[Q] Gmail & Youtube apps; no longer multiwindow enabled

Has anyone else had this problem just recently? I noticed that a new app called "Google Settings" randomly appeared on my Note this morning and since then, Gmail and Youtube are no longer able to go into multiwindow mode. I tried using MW Manager to fix Gmail... but it looks really weird in fullscreen mode. There's just this huge empty space on the right side while all the content is squished on the left side, as if it's still in windowed mode. I have not tried MW Manager for Youtube, yet.
I am running on stock Jellybean 4.1.2 and I'm rooted. I have no idea what's going on, since I've only had the tablet for 2 weeks and I barely downloaded anything (just some apps like LectureNotes and Layer Paint).
Any info/suggestions is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Sorry I have no idea why your youtube isn't multi Window anymore mine still is but I did notice the Google settings app randomly appear this morning, I was changing the lock screan apps at the time when it happened don't know if that had anything to do with it?
Update: seems google has installed a useless settings app on all of our devices overnight personally I dont want or need this so I would like 5o disable it but it isnt a listed app in application manager.

Recent apps view

Several of my apps does not show up when I hit the recent apps soft key. Of the apps I frequently use that does not show is Facebook, Messenger and Dolphin Browser..
Anybody else experienceing the same issue?

This is quite annoying... Am I the only one who have this issue?

I couldn't tell you (don't remember) what apps were guilty but I've noticed the same thing with several different apps.

I did a check just now, and actually most of the apps I tried did not show up when touching the recent apps soft key. It's also not consistent which apps does not show ?

The recent apps is literally the apps that you accessed most recently (not most frequently). Depending on your Chrome setting (if you are using the Chrome browser) you may have your tabs out in the recent screen as well.
The list will always change, depending on what you looked at last and in what order

I just went to the three apps you mentioned in sequence, and they show up on my recent apps screen.

I know how the recent apps view is supposed to work, so that's not the problem.. As I mentioned in my last post theres some inconsistency in wich apps does not show, but some of them never seems to show. It also sometimes happen that I'm unable to remove all apps from the list. They show up the next time I hit the recent apps soft key.
I'm on build number:
MMB29K.G930FXXU1APB4

I see, that's odd. Not sure what to make of it. I am build APB5, maybe that matters. Verizon pushed out an update last week for March security and to fix wifi issues, if you are on Verizon give it a shot and see if it helps.

I'm from Norway and my phone is not tied to any operator. I am also on the latest update available in my region. I guess I could try to do a facory reset, and see if it helps. But I don't think I'll bother anytime soon..

Problem solved
It seems like i finally found a solution to my problem
After investing a whole day doing several factory resets and installing of apps and settings in different order each time I tracked the problem down to an app I use, called Sidebar Plus. I installed this app and its settings with the help og Helium and all of a sudden some of my apps refused to show in the recent apps view. I then uninstalled Sidebar Plus, did a reboot, and all of my apps now show up in the recent apps view as they should
I now have installed Side Apps Bar - Edge Sidebar instead, and everything seems fine :good:

Full gesture navigation on Android Q issue

I'm running Android QPP4 in full gesture navigation mode. Recently an issue started: whenever I swipe up to go home, or left or right to switch apps there is a brief flash of the previous app, so whatever app I'm switching from will appear on screen for a single frame immediately after I've left it.
I toggled to the two other navigation modes and the issue disappears, this only happens in full gesture mode.
Anyone else seeing this or have a way to fix it? As I said it only recently appeared.
