I'm on the gs4, t-mobile. Slim Kat 2.5 rc1
After some update on the slim Kat release I've begun having problems with YouTube. After watching for a bit the video seems to hang often, and then it hangs for more than 20 seconds at a time. I thought it was just the app but after clearing all data from the app, using minimal gapps, original google gapps, pa gapps, YouTube crashes this ROM. I tried replicating the problem with other roms but they ask seem to be stable with YouTube.
What YouTube does before it crashes the phone is it usually hangs, the screen goes black and after a split second white boxes appear, then the phone crashes and restarts.
This bug report is just made after it began to hang a lot.I'll be trying to get the phone to crash again and i will post that when it happens.
Thank you!
Just updated the report, this one is right after crashing.

So I've got a rooted AT&T Note 3. It's running the original ROM but modded like crazy. For the past couple of weeks, Snapchat has been horribly laggy. Every action takes a few seconds. The camera takes 10-15 seconds to load, and then freezes for up to 30 seconds before loading again. I have uninstalled, restarted, and reinstalled many times. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Nothing else is laggy or buggy at the moment on the phone. I have not subscribed to the beta either. When the keyboard finally loads in snapchat, it types fine. I've got a OnePlus One coming in a few weeks, but I'd like to get Snapchat working normally again until then.
Thanks in advance.

My Snapchat done this exact same thing, it was on my Nexus 5 though. I put it down to the ROM and /or Xposed (was using keepchat). Sure enough once I reflashed and reinstalled it worked fine. Not sure why it does this but it was the first time it had ever happened to me.
Try dirty flashing your ROM. And don't use so many xposed tweaks. See if it resolves, then wittle down which mod is messing with it.

I have a Canadian Note 3 (SM-N900W8), it's KNOX 0x0 rooted and I have CM11 M12 installed. I have been using only the M builds since I got this phone, I didn't even set up Touchwiz when I got it, I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod out of the box.
Now, with the new CM12 builds coming out, what happened to CM11, are they going to fix the remaining issues? Or did they just bail on legacy KitKat users because I'm having TONS of problems and I don't want lollipop, it runs like absolute crap for the nightlies right now and CM11 M12 isn't much better. Bluetooth takes a couple of attempts to connect, when it does my phone runs super slow to the point it force restarts. For instance, if I'm driving around, listening to music on the car stereo, pull over some where, find a new album on Google Music, start playing that, it's all good, do this a few times, every time I use my phone it gets slower and slower until it force restarts and then bluetooth has trouble connecting again. I've tried this on a few other vehicles of different brands and aftermarket stereos and it's the same result.
Audio is all funky when bluetooth is on too, it sounds like robots for the system sounds and if bluetooth drops while it's connected the music starts playing from the phone and sounds all roboty. I always do clean flashes too and the latest Paranoid Android GAPPS every time I reflash, the ROM is fine out of the box, works flawless for the first few days but after awhile, it becomes so bad I have to backup, wipe, reflash, and start over for another few weeks.
Another issue is somewhere between M8 and M12 one of the builds corrupted my SD card, I tossed in a second new card, it was corrupted again, FutureShop won't give me another one and said my phone is breaking them so I'm SD-less right now.
There are also quite a few apps that force close, but always at random, it's never when doing the same thing over and over, for instance, I can be scrolling through G+ and it tells me settings has stopped working, wasn't even using settings, didn't even have it open, haven't clicked it since booting my phone, just randomly stops working for no reason, this also happens all the time with the Camera, it says it just stops working when I haven't even used it and then if I try to use it, it says the camera is disconnected and won't work until I reboot.
I turn my phone off every night while it's charging and turn it back on every morning so every morning it gets a fresh restart, and I have to restart my phone probably 5ish times a day, if I'm using bluetooth more then normal then there's quite a few more unintentional reboots in there as well.
The last issue, which is a known issue is NFC not working, is there a fix for this yet? I kinda miss this feature and with how flawed CM11 is getting I don't know where to turn since they always seemed to be the most stable out of everything I've tried.
Any before anyone says Temasek's CM builds, I tried it, the final for CM11, it was worse then M12, it's exactly the same as M12, but every issue happens more frequently. Also, the pull down menu (when pulling down from the top right to show toggles), the bottoms of the last row was cut off so it didn't look very appealing either, it also used WAY more battery life, I usually get a full day out of one charge, so around 18 to 20ish hours on one charge, with temaseks cm11 I had to charge my phone half way through the day, sometimes my phone would just die on me without me knowing, the battery usage was always Android System.
A new problem that just happened lastnight was Google Keyboard was deleted and only the voice search would work, but "voice search can't be reached" so I couldn't search for another keyboard app from the playstore. I also used the stock GAPPS so AOSP keyboard is replaced with Google Keyboard, I had to reflash again this morning because I couldn't figure out the keyboard thing, there wasn't even a keyboard under languages in settings so I had no options to pick which keyboard to use. When I reflashes this morning I used the Modular GAPPS to it keeps the AOSP Keyboard just in case this happens again but I'm getting really tired of only having a reliable phone for a few weeks.
So, are there any fixes for these issues?
Bluetooth taking multiple attempts to connect
Bluetooth forcing random reboots
Bluetooth making audio from device all funky and sounds like a robot
Corrupting SD cards
Random system apps stopping without me even using or opening them
Google Keyboard vanishing
Are there any stable ROMs I could try for the HLTE? Maybe one that has working NFC? I'm almost thinking of going back to stock *throws up in mouth* but I don't know what else to do with how many bugs there are and Lollipop is only getting worse with the issues.
I'm also trying to avoid Lollipop because everything is white, Note 3 is an AMOLED display, each pixel illuminates on it's own so white screens use WAY more battery life then black ones which was a feature of Temasek's CM11 that I liked, had the option in settings to make everything black like the good old days.
So guys? Really out on my luck here, not sure what the next step is, any fixes for these problems? Any other ROM's I could try? Would flashing a new recovery and reflashing CM11 M12 fix some of these issues? I'm using Xiaoli CWM v6.0.4.7(20140125). Would the fact that KNOX isn't tripped have something to do with this? I really don't understand why there aren't more posts for these issues which leads me to believe I'm one of the only ones experiencing them.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that when recording audio or video, it's as if the mic gain is set on full so even the slightest sound is pure distortion, normal talking volume and it clips, I found an app that lets me choose between the mics and when I pic the external mic, it's all muffles as if something is covering it but my phone wasn't in a case while I was testing so I'm not sure what the deal is there but I can't record any decent audio with this and when I record in 4K using Cinema FV-5, all the videos turn out looking like Anaglyph 3D but all pink and green, it's really weird and I don't understand why, but 1080p at 60fps works fine.
I am on CM12 and luckily have had no issues at all. I came from KK 4.4.4 and still have the NB7 BL and modem. I tried one of the guys slim ROMs alpha builds but had issues (probably operator error) but I've tried Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi , LTE etc and everything is good. Not sure what to tell you. I do however always wipe internally and d/l all my apps again through WiFi. A bit cumbersome I know but it won't give me any residual data.

It worked fine for a lot of time, but now the app is unusable. I can't open it, it takes me back to the home screen without any errors. I tried the beta too, nothing.. Any helps? SM-G900F Android lollipop
Same problem here too shows no errors or fc. Can hardly watch any videos or look at pics without it crashing. Tried contacting the Dev of the app but no go, clearly doesn't give 2 turds
Same here, aint that some ram leak problem? Fb app takes 200mb+ now

Bummer
Same issues here. Was running CyanogenMod 12.0 for the longest time and just switched to Resurrection Remix to hopefully have it stop crashing...but no dice. Crashes with 30 seconds any time I do anything in the app. Sucks!
Hi,
since the latest update 5.1.1 LMY48M I noticed that I have a really annoying issue when watching YT videos. It's like this:
I start the video. normally it would start with a full hd resolution, means 1080p but it doesnt. Instead it lokks like 144p (or what is the smallest resolution?). Thios goes for 10 seconds then the system freezes and reboots.
I try to start the video again. Same thing all over again. again the reboot. The third time it works fine.
The tablet is rooted, Xposed with some modules like YT background, addisabler,..
Always worked fine with the previous update.
Someone noticed something like that?
Same thing here. It has smth to do with 1080p. Every other resolutiion does not cause fc's

This has been happening to me more frequently recently. Really annoying. I'm just rooted on the stock OS. Don't think this anything to do with it though.
Same issue here. It also freezes and shutdown when you try to change the resolution up to 1080p or whatever is max. Only in the YouTube app. No issues with Netflix or browser video. Or ever the YouTube website
Yes tablet freezes, makes a buzzing sound then shuts down and restarts. I think there was a YouTube update recently.
So it was not just me after all. I use a Nexus 10, 5.1.1, stock unrooted. It mostly won't happen, but I know exactly when the crash is coming: the YouTube video starts playing at an apparent 144p, and some 10 or 15 seconds later the video freezes, the last sound sample keeps repeating creeply, and Android crashes and reboot. If this problem isn't limited to my Nexus 10, then it's the YouTube app's fault?
Uninstalled YouTube then installed older version, will report back if that helps.

I just did this and can confirm that it will stop that problem. It took me several roms both lollipop and KitKat to figure it out but I final decided that it was a YouTube issue, as stated in previous post, and downloaded an older version. It is working great now.
"Chance Favors the Prepared"
I can also confirm that rolling back to a previous version fixes the problem
Trying newest version of YouTube http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...43-58-android-4-0-3-5-1-android-apk-download/
Only used it a short time but no problem yet. This version was uploaded 10/31.

That version seemed to work then a newer version came out, figured that would be the one so I installed it. Froze up again so I'm back on version 10.21.57, frustrating.
After putting an older version started having problems with sound sync so went to latest version from play store and turned back on awesome player from developer options and so far everything is fine
Same problem. Nexus 10. Latest firmware, latest version of youtube.
Haven't had the problem since two weeks. And I always have the latest version from Play Store installed. Maybe it was a bug in the last versions.
Ok it used to happen once in a blue moon now it's happening all the time! It reboots, try to watch another video then it reboots again....
Same problem
Have the same problem, latest firmware and latest YouTube app uppdate :\
It's definitely the YouTube app because no other streaming app does this and not even YouTube through the browser.
Same here since some weeks.
Nexus 10 stock and unrooted, 5.1.1 LMY48X. Youtube 10.43.60
Google Play Services v8.4.89 (2428711-236) and Play Store v6.0.0
I can read videos for 10 to 15 secs until tablet freezes with sound, then turn off and reboot.
Then I go to Settings -> Apps -> Youtube, I clear cache (always about 267 Mb) and erase data. And then I can watch about 5-8 videos before it crashes again.
Edit : found 10.47.54 on apkmirror, I'll try it and be back here.

Same crash with 10.47.54 and always at the same frame in the video. Seems incredible :/
I'll try to downgrade Youtube.
---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------
Downgraded to 10.21.57 and... it works.
No more crashes at that same video frame.
Hope this will be OK for others videos... and that Google will solve that bug.
This issue made me get off my butt and put CM12.1 on it.
Will try the downgrade and report back
Has anyone got 1440p working? The freeze and no audio thing hurts when it has such a good screen.
Same problem. Stock N10, unrooted, latest updates and get the crash.
Hi, so mine is MaxPro M1 3/32 variant. Few weeks ago i flashed DerpCaf ROM with Pico gapps. Everything went great, i have no issue. I decide to install Youtube Vanced via Magisk and it's been working flawlessly. Until recently, it started to force closing without any reason. It doesn't have any notice like "Youtube has stopped working" or something like that. The video just freeze for a few second, and the screen goes full black then i'm back my home screen. I tried re-installing it but no luck. The weird part is, now it's also happening when i'm playing video with other app like MX Player or my browser like when i'm playing a video on facebook. (i'm using Mint browser btw).
I have the log when the force close happen in Youtube Vanced if it make any help to identify my problem.
Exactly same problem persists in my phone running on Havoc OS. Yet to find what is causing it.
try non-root method of vanced youtube
