I have the AT&T G4 and I'm using the latest firmware and the latest update for YouTube. I've noticed this for the past few versions of YouTube and I haven't been able to fix it. I can watch videos for roughly 20-30 minutes and then the video starts freezing and acting like it's loading but it's already loaded most of the video (100+mbps wifi) and it doesn't stop, I can close the app and reopen it and it continues. I have to set it aside for a while before it stops doing it. I don't think that its a ram problem and I'm thinking that its a overheating issue, I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem and are there any fixes or workarounds?
While watching Netflix, sometimes the video will freeze but audio continues. However, once I tilt or move the phone it will begin playing again. If I leave it still the video will not resume on it's own. I did not know how to begin to search for a similar problem to this without looking through every "Netflix freezing" post. Anyone else with something similar and a possible fix?
Happens to me... I think it's a Netflix issue for sure. I've been noticing this odd freezing across many devices lately...
Yeah like the previous poster stated there have been issues with Netflix on many devices. My fiance's note 8 has random freezes of video, my Pixel 2 XL, and Shield all have it too. It's not the phone, just a buggy Netflix app.
I've noticed that, especially in Twitter and Facebook, when I try to watch a video on my 5T, it takes the phone 18-22 seconds to switch to HD. The first 20 or so seconds, the videos play in pixelated Standard Def. This happens on wifi as well as 4G, whereas my old LG G3 plays the same videos in HD right from the start. Anyone have an idea why the 5T can't do that or what I can do about it?
The problem seems to be gone in YouTube or when playing embedded video in the browser.
Thanks!

I've been having this issue since OP3. Hasn't figured out how to fix it.
Its been a long time since I have posted something on this site. Got myself a RM 5G, its been great so far. Noticed as of late when I am gaming or watching a video of any type youtube, netflix, facebook etc it will freeze for anywhere up to 3 seconds then continue playing.
It might not sound like its a big deal or anything, more annoying if anything. I have replicated this on lte and wifi in multiple locations. First i thought it may of been the android system viewer thing that was happening recently but I dont think it is now. Considering a factory reset to see if this works out.
Non rooted device, just seeing if anyone else has experienced this with there RM's? If so what did you do to fix the issue?
I have a section in this video that I was recording start the video from minute 18:40 and you will notice the lag to illustrate what I am explaining. This would happen while watching videos.
Cheers in advance.
Hi, anyone has this issue with pixel 6 pro. It only happens on video from YouTube and very intermittent. Does not happen to the same video. Have not seen it in full screen or on other apps. Very strange bug or is it hardware issue in which case I should get a replacement

I'd suggest to use safemode and see if it still pops up then, in that case I'd contact Google. Of course you could always try a factory reset, but that's a heckload of trouble and wasted hours...

The hard part is that it happens only once a day or so that I struggle to capture it. So I'd probably have to run on safe mode for a long while, I'll see if I can get Google to replace. Cheers
I've never had that, I'd RMA that if I were you!

I definitely had that happen last week when I was watching Youtube! This was after a factory reset too so I wasn't sure what was happening. Same exact thing, lines flashed across the screen just like yours. I have not seen it happen since or perhaps I haven't been watching enough videos on the phone since.
Have you contacted support, and what did they say? I'm kind of scared to contact them with all the outsourcing now and other stories I've been seeing about them not being as helpful as they used to be.

I also had this problem happen only once, watching a youtube video. maybe it can be a software glitch?

I'm not sure but am wondering the same thing. I was not able to get a hold of Google support but will try after the new year. If the OP can see it happening randomly I bet it is happening randomly for us too but we haven't caught it again. It looks like those old CRT TV's. I unfortunately was not able to get screen recorder open in time to capture when it was happening.

There is no need to record your screen. you can send google the op recording
I hope google will fix this phone.. I guess that is what you get for being a Tensor early adopter.
I just had this happen too for the first time, happened to quickly to get any recording of it. Also on YouTube as I was adding a video to my watch later. Are you using Vanced by any chance? Maybe it's just the software glitch with that?! Hope there's no hardware fault going on here...

I am using the regular Youtube app since I pay for premium. I don't think its related to any app as the OP said it also happened on other videos.
Also have this happen to me somewhat often (once or twice a day), but it's only ever in the youtube app. I'm using the YouTube vanced app and It's never happened in any other app.

Interesting.....let's hope a fix is on it's way at some point...
Have you guys noticed a graphical glitch in Google photos? When in landscape and the video is paused and you scroll up from the bottom of the screen for your settings, a glitch appears!
It was first mentioned in Reddit.
I've had the same thing, but it appears at the bottom of the screen (it's happened a few times, maybe 5 or 6) - and for mine it was about an inch high. It was really odd - never seen a glitch like that before. usually you can tell if it's the display or software but this was very similar to op's - and it stayed for like 10 seconds. using Brave Browser, not watching a video (pixel 6 pro on december build)
YES YES YES! Thank you for the post, OP!
This wasn't an issue till about five days ago and it only occurs in the YouTube application! It's difficult to reproduce, but usually having a video running, opening the comments section then successively minimizing and maximizing the video (in Portrait mode) can trigger this error.
I suspect it has something to do with a change in refresh rate, since this particular change causes just that.
It's not annoying to the point I have considered turning the phone back, but it's mildly concerning especially since the first time it occurs, you're unsure whether it's a hardware or software issue.
Same here with YouTube Vanced in the exact same Spot, never seen in another app
Try newpipe instead. Hint: no ads
