Problems with youtube on pixel xl - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Is anyone else having problems with youtube crashing on launch? Mine crashes each time on initial launch and is then stable.
Any ideas?

I'm me too. Always have to close it and re open

I have force closes probably every 4th time I open the app. It'll probably be fixed soon.

Someone on reddit or here mentioned that in dev settings, turning on disable usb audio routing fixes this. try it out..

Interesting. I haven't seen this problem once and I'm a heavy YouTube user. I also have YouTube Red, which may or may not be why I'm not having the same problem.

Happens all the time

I tried a bunch of different videos and had no crash.
Make sure you are on the latest firmware with all apps up to date :good:

Got a new YouTube update today. So far so good.

It happens if you don't use the app for a while. I'm fully updated and it happens.

I haven't had any issues with YouTube either and i spend atleast 2 hours on it every day. Not a Red user however.

It happens with me, usually when I'm opening a link from another application.
It's not just the YouTube app, either. It's not a big deal, just re-open and it works. It is an annoyance however.

Is anyone else having issues with YouTube FC whenever you try to open it? Is it global or just me?

Do you use Xposed? Adaway eg? If so, update this module.
Me too!
I'm also experiencing the same man! I thought it's my device, but others are also experienced some FC
Well, as a matter of fact, it is your device and your setting to cause FCs, not a general problem, therefor no solution as long as you give no further information about system, apps, framework, moduls.
Please update YouTube adaway xposed

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 On screen controls, Netflix, BBC iPlayer

There is definitely an issue with the on screen controls and Netflix, BBC iPlayer, TV Anywhere (Virgin) etc
Many people have complained on Netflix's Play Store page by giving 1 star and saying since the Netflix update you are not able to pause, scroll forward or back as the on screen controls appear for a split second and then disappear, but it isn't Netflix's fault as the same issue exists with BBC iPlayer (downloaded content playing back only - not streaming) and Virgin's TV Anywhere.
This only began after the OTA upgrade to 4.4.2.
Apart from my feelings that the battery is draining quicker, the navigation is not as fluid and the native video player sound is not as good, this update has proved to be a failure in my view.
I read that the bootloader was locked so custom rom is out of the question at the moment (I think, not that clued up on such issues) - but I wouldn't want to root anyway as it renders Sky Go and other apps useless.
Can someone shed some light as to what is wrong and how to fix?
No problem with BBC I Player. Don't use the other two. I'm rooted and been able to get rid of some of the Samsung junk. Can't run apk's as reported in another thread. Have you a link to the bootloader issue?

So if you download a programme on iPlayer and watch you are able to pause while watching?
The thread I saw the locked bootloader info was here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2788770 - but I am not sure if this is referencing a different rom?
Sorry for delay in replying. Yes I can pause. I'm also note on CM11 4.4.4. And extremely happy

Netflix is still broken, there's been about 3 bug fixes lately & not one of those fixes the controls.
Yep still broken.

Here is the android.policy.jar from my deodexed rom. It has the fix built in, but you will need be using deodexed rom for it to work.

Whats your default gallery app?

So, my question for you today is: whats your default gallery app? Do you guys use the Google Photos as default? Im asking this because my opinion about GPhotos is that its not a quickly and fast app, I have 4.000 pics on my N5X and on GPhotos it haves some lags maybe due to this amount of pics.
If is another app, tell me what is, I would like to test new ones.
Thanks.

Quickpic.
Piktures is my new favorite. Stumbled upon it the other day. Really like it so far. The secret drive is a pretty cool feature too lol
I used to use QuickPic and Google Photos but went minimalist and using just Google Photos now. Mainly cause I don't keep as much hard copies on my phone anymore with everything backed up to Google Photos now. Including all my photos on my computer.

I use quick pic but an older version before it was sold to cheetah mobile. And resigned so it doesn't show updates.

The Cheetah Mobile version is still really good actually. Have you tried it recently? The only ad-like thing they added was an album looking button for their cloud storage which can easily be hidden.

No. I won't use anything they release. They have the worst rep around for a reason.

For Clean Master and their own stuff yes, I agree. But QuickPic hasn't turned into one of those.

We can agree to disagree on that. I have been watching the app and watching what others have had to say about the latest updates and to be honest I see no reason to update. The cloud storage options are useless to me, nor would I use servers from that part of the world.
For me and thousands of others there is no reason to update.

Bug with Instagram Camera Zooms In?

So I'm using my pixel 2 XL and on the Instagram app camera when I take the picture it zooms out. So when looking at the view finder, by default it's zoomed in and then when rendering the picture it zooms out.
Is there a way to fix that or has anyone else experienced this?
No, Instagram is just the worst app for Android out there.
My friend has that issue but I don't. I never use the camera in Instagram for the feeds but I will use the story camera on occasion.

Oh hmm, I get the issue on both for feed and story camera.
I didn't use to have that problem and just appeared out of nowhere. Even when they activated the chip on Instagram it still worked fine and then it just started zoomed in and the final pictures are zoomed out.
My main bug I have with Instagram is the frozen story video when adding stickers. It still plays when published but you can see how it is before sending.

Oh wow that's crazy. I don't have that bug at all. Was trying to make it happen right now and it works fine. It's really weird that each pixel device experiences different bugs with the same app.
Yeah I've had this since DP2 I think. Did the usual clear app data and uninstall, reinstall.
Oh and another bug I have is I can't add a soundtrack to stories nor can I play the music. I get a "Can't be played in your region" message. But I was able to do both when the feature first came out.

Photos permanently/randomly deleted from device (Camera) folder on my Pixel 2 XL

Hi guys
So i have had my pixel 2 xl for about 8 months and was initially on Android 8.0 then joined the beta program for pie and have been on it since.
About 3 months ago i noticed that photos on my device (DCIM\Camera) went from like 600 photos to 150. I did not delete these and i could not find them anywhere on my device. Luckily as all my photos are backed up to google photos so i didnt lose anything. However 2 weeks ago the same thing happened again where by more photos got deleted and yet again i did not do anything on the device.
I am planning on doing a hard reset and starting again but wanted to throw this out there to see if anyone else has seen this or may know if this is software or hardware related. There are other users with similar issues but no answers.
I use Quickpic for Gallery App along with the google photos app.
Many thanks in adv for any input....

You probably have intelligent storage activated. a lot of people don't know about this lol.
It basically deletes photos and videos which haven't been used for 30,60 or 90 days.
You can disable it in the settings app under storage.

It's probably this. I set mine to 90 days so I don't have to deal with micromanaging my storage yet I have it's enough for me to keep locally.

No, just the one from playstore.

Yes i think it was because of the Smart Storage was "on" under Storage. It was set to "remove backed-up photos/videos over 60 days". So i have turned off this setting, this should hopefully keep all my photos.
I have also removed quickPic from my device after reading that link you sent.

You could try Simple Gallery (or it's Pro version), instead. It's simple and efficient.
