Anyone else experiencing YouTube constantly freezing up until you clear cache/storage? Then if you reboot, or the app closes after a day, you have to clear cache/storage again for it not to freeze? Specifically on this phone? I REALLY don't want to do another factory reset.

Hi all,
I've had my Bell G3 for a few days now, and I've run into a weird issue. I don't play many games on my device, but the two I do enjoy are crashing on launch.
Up first is Timberman. This one has never worked. I start it up, get to the very first company screen, and the app crashes, asking me to send in a report.
Up next is Clash of Clans. The weird part here is that it was working fine. Then suddenly I go to start it up, and nothing. I just get a black screen. IT doesn't seem to have been updated, and I haven't done anything recent that I can think of that would cause this.
I've tried restarting the device. Deleting data. Uninstalling and re-installing the apps.
I switched from Dalvik to ART as soon as I unboxed the device, so that may be a factor, but I was running Clash of Clans perfectly for a few days before the trouble started.
I've run out of ideas and was wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems?
Thanks!
ART causes this kind of thing with a lot of apps. Try it in Dalvik. I'd be surprised if there were a compatability issue with our phones with Clash of Clans because it came preinstalled on my Verizon version.
The one I've experienced this with is SMASH HIT. I noticed it only happens when there's a poor or nonexistent signal/data connection for the cell network. It may be just a bug in the specific app which calls out for data when it starts, I emailed the publisher.
ETA: I do not have ART enabled.

I'm guessing that it is indeed ART being a bad boy. Essentially I had to switch back to Dalvik, delete data, uninstall and re-install. Both Clash of Clans and Timberman are working now.
Thanks for the advice. I was kind of afraid that it would be the case. I guess ART just isn't ready for prime time as of yet.
I tried searching, and couldn't find any threads about this.
When browsing in the app, YouTube displays fine. However, when I load a video, it cuts off quite a bit of the video. An ad will play fullscreen, but the video will not. This wasn't a problem before. It just started happening today. I tried rebooting the ATV (center click + play button hold) and that didn't help. I cleared YouTube's cache, that was of no help as well. I'm wondering if I'll need to try reinstalling Youtube.
Picures of what I'm talking about are attached.
I'm not sure if it helps, but I am rooted on Software Version 51.1.1.0_user_511070220
Thanks for your time.
Uninstall youtube and update latest root firmware., then reinstall youtube.
I noticed this exact same thing last night however it wasn't on every video, only some of them.

I have started seeing the same problem with my FireTV Stick YouTube App. It did not happen earlier.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing YouTube App, but it did not help!
Anybody know how to fix it?

it did and i also adjusting the screen resolution on dispaly panel in settings.
I found one workaround.
When the video is cut-off, press menu button (three horizontal lines) on the remote once, that will take you to the search screen. Then press back button to go back to your video which should be now be either less cut or full screen. If its still cut-off, repeat the steps one more time and it will be full screen.
Annoying but works for now!
If you don't want to update to the latest pre-root, then completely uninstall YouTube and reinstall. Most people believe that simply uninstalling then reinstalling works, but doing so often leaves traces. You must clear the cache and dalvik to ensure it's cleaned from the system. Here is how to do it.
Uninstall the app through the settings. Reboot to CWM and clear cache and dalvik. Reboot. Then reinstall the app. If this doesn't fix the screen issue, then you might want to try updating.

Yesterday this started happening to mine also, strange it only affects certain videos.
My AFTV is unrooted and uses standard app, only posting to re-enforce that the problem seems to have suddenly appeared.
I will just keep an eye open and try and narrow down which are causing a problem.
This recently has been happening to me and it's on all videos. The YouTube app has been acting weird on my tablet as well, but less frequently.
hm, I left it alone for a while and now it seems to be working. that's fine and all, I would just like to know what caused it so that we can fix this if it happens again, or is still happening for others.
thanks for your input everyone.
HI , I have a Verizon Note 4 - Latest firmware.
I've had a few problems, one is the embedded Youtube Videos inside of Chrome Browser will not play audio. I can go into the application manager and clear data then it works. But after a day it goes back to no Audio. Resetting the Data every time is becoming a pain,. has anyone else experienced this issue, or any fixes?
Also, the "Contacts" app keeps force closing, It usually pops up Force Closed 2-3 times, then finally will open.
Any help ? thank you guys
So, i have a TA 1043 in Romania and from time to time, apps freeze. The phone is on 8.1. After the update to 8.1 i did a factory reset, but the freezing continued. And also it randomly restarts. Anyone experienced this?
I have no issue with restarts, but sometimes my phone is really slow, when I update apps from the Play Store, maybe when I enable Wi-Fi, or something, I don't know...
But, my Google app crash often, I also tried to delete data for it and set it up again, but the results are same.
Mostly the stock camera and facebook get stuck. Sometimes chrome. It's a strange behavior
Hi guys,
I've been experiencing occasional lag in almost every app for about 2-3 second and no it's not because of the ram or anything because it has happened to me randomly in random apps. I've recently installed only Acu battery app.
I'm not rooted and completely on stock.
Can anyone offer some help or assistance?
Hi
Try to remove the Accubattery app and check if the lag is gone. If not, backup your data and do a factory reset and check again.

I uninstalled the app but it still randomly happens. I don't really want to do a factory reset. I will probably do it after the next Pixel feature drop but not sure what is causing it.
I have removed all beta apps as well.
Hm, then try to boot your phone in safe mode and see if the there is still lag or no, just to know if it's caused by a third party app or just the system itself.
