Are you using non root with microG? If yes, login is normal.

The rest is very well documented and asked and answered in the Q&A section. Sometime caused by additional adblocking solutions you have installed and need to whitelist YouTube.

Or you have more than 1 YT account (brand) and need to merge them.

Such a long post, and didn't read the q&a section.

Q. Is history working ?

A. Yes! Make sure you whitelist *s.youtube.com in your adblocker and also make sure your account is merged properly if using nonroot due to microg
[Android Apps and Games] huffmybrd:
Just an fyi, for anyone updating from v12 to v13, you may need to reinstalling microG in order to login.

Also, thanks devs for all your work!! Using the newest v13 no-root on my s8 and it's amazing!!!

Here with a Huawei Mate 10, no HDR option in menus , only vr9 option. I tried 12,49 and 13.07 versions.

is there any fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It's in codec override.

Try going into Vanced settings and tapping "about" a few times. Then check in codec override.

Some of you guys use the word "fix" so oddly.
[Android Apps and Games] Gu57avo:
Ok, I know what he meant, it happened to me, whenever I minimize the app it stops the playback when it should keep playing on the background, and when i get back into the app it's frozen forever. Btw I can't get the log file to get uploaded, so I spent 10 looking for the new app folder for nothing:mad:
[Android Apps and Games] rexstor:
Tried the method. Already enable the s+ hardware and refresh. But still no hdr option when playing youtube hdr video
[Android Apps and Games] mrsubway:
Seems like a bug. My background audio is fine now. Weird, as only some people seem to be having the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Or maybe the devs are choosing to ignore it. Just MAYBE.
[Android Apps and Games] nick491:
I had two Nexus 6's that had similar issues. It was a hardware GPU issue. Had to return them to Motorola twice.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Not sure how it could be a hardware issue on the Mate 10, it's still a fairly modern flagship and my one is on stock firmware. The devs addressed the share/copy link issue I mentioned awhile back but they've ignored this one for a few releases now, despite asking politely. My assumption is it either can't be fixed, trying to alters something else or they don't care.
[Android Apps and Games] Chlorophyll:
Oneplus 5T here. After updating everything works fine as usual lik past versions. Thanks for the update OP
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
N9005 on Android9.0. Upgraded to last version. Works perfectly as previous ones.

:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Wierius:
I'm facing the same problem, no matter what, the app crashes if I try to enable something in "Vanced settings", I'm keeping this version just to help (yet is very annoying).
[Android Apps and Games] theArhar:
I had to install 13.37.52 because of this issue, 13.43.50 pull to refresh is not working
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Works fine for me in latest version.
[Android Apps and Games] calvinjstev:
Pull to refresh ain't working. From a Mi A1.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
What the hell have you people done to your phone for that basic feature not to work? I doubt this is a dev issue.
[Android Apps and Games] ahb83:
Is there an option to have yt go into full screen mode when phone is out into landscape mode?
[Android Apps and Games] calvinjstev:
You simply swipe up on the video
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
If it keeps crashing then you need to add logs for crash in yoir post. No issue on my ohone with any vanced settings. Without logs your post does not help at all. Neither to you nor to dev. If it was a universal issue, then it would not work on any device. But it isnt. So you need to provide info and crash logs.

Pull to refresh is working great on latest version. No problem at all.
[Android Apps and Games] sohailthebeast:
Thanks this solved the issue for me as well, but I didn't disable YouTube app since it isn't necessary.
[Android Apps and Games] theArhar:
when multiple people says its not working - probably it is really not working and developer should look into it
[Android Apps and Games] shadowstep:
Yes, it's not there on the new website (https://vanced.cf/) but it's there in the MediaFire folder linked in the OP. You can download it from there. :)
[Android Apps and Games] just4747:
Couple things, on my Pixel 3 XL, just downloaded non-rooted v13.43.50 build 01.26.00 with vDark theme and MicroG v0.2.4-105 and:

Not all videos clicked on show up in history (like, I just played a few seconds of about 5 videos and not a single one showed up in the refreshed Recent or History screens... And history is not on pause btw)

Can't get background or screen-off play to work (just normal PIP) I think I figured this one out: you have to press the little headphone icon in the PIP window to put it in the background??

I see no ad-blocking happening (didn't find a setting for it)

Can anyone enlighten me on these things? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] stek-kravari:
Here is crash log from my device on latest youtube vanced 13.43.50 no root, crashes after enabling auto repeat and auto repeat-background play
[Android Apps and Games] shrtrnd:
Hey I just installed YT vanced through magisk on my pixel 3 and so far the app working flawlessly. One question though, I removed the youtube.apk from my sytem/apps folder before installing yt vanced. But if I go to the playstore it shows me that the youtube app has an update, is there any way to stop it from doing that? I can't use auto update (as stated in the how to) but now I also can't use "update all" because that would update the youtube app thus overwriting yt vanced correct? This is kinda annoying because I have quite a few apps on my phone and I don't check the play store everyday for updates, so after 2 weeks I have a ton of updates and have to download them all manually.
[Android Apps and Games] AxiK.:
What kind of answer is that? By your logic, then google should stop upadating YT, either way every version works, why get into trouble updating:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] vertedintro:
It doesn’t really make sense to update unless it needs to be. E.g. certain part of the app doesn’t work unless updated. YouTube has a team paid to do this, but this is something done on someone’s free time.
[Android Apps and Games] garylawwd:
look at the screenshots.

First just unchecked the auto update box like in the first picture

Then just press skip when you press update all in play store
[Android Apps and Games] Qwerty182:
Pull to refresh didn't work on my phone
[Android Apps and Games] shrtrnd:
Ah got cha, thanks. I'm somewhat new to android. been using iOS for the past years, a lot has changed since my HTC Hero days ;)
[Android Apps and Games] gast12:
log out is not possible? I have tried reinstalling (magisk) and deleting data. the app logs me in automatically.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Tap your account in upper right corner. Tap switch account, log out.
[Android Apps and Games] gast12:
I've been there.

Switch account: Only gives me 4 options: 1 my account, 2 my channel, 3, manage accounts (which leads to accounts in android settings) and learn more about account options (which opens help). no log out option.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Seems you can only sign out globally in android, not in youtube seperately. now that would be a nice feature YTvanced: Sign out option, permanent / sticky incognito mode!
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
Gives me log out option. I forgot I switched to non root. That's probably the difference.
[Android Apps and Games] ballp0int:
Swipe down to refresh doesn't work on my home page but works on trending and subscriptions.

Reverted back to the previous version for the time being.
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
get the non-root version.

it uses a separate account through microG, so you can log out separately or just use it without microG.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Well, people write only when they have issues or complaints. Do you think only 20 people are using YouTube Vanced? I dont think so too. Unless there will be infos and logs shown, I dont think there is anything to do about it.

Sorry.

I updated and I have no issue with background playback...with swipe to refresh...with black theme...with anything at all.

Everything works perfectly on last version as it was on previous one. Sue me

:eek:

Flashed 13.43.50 build right now and after configuring it, when I restart YouTube Vance it crashes. Here are logcats to help solve the issue:

Can anyone tell me where I can find changelog for this project? The vanced.cf site doesn't work for me.
[Android Apps and Games] theArhar:
How can I detect/write log for this exact situation when nothing crashes and nothing happens?
[Android Apps and Games] firestickian:
Newest version wil not work on Fire Tv gen 2, just shows boot logo then closes. Previous version worked great.
[Android Apps and Games] madbat99:
It may be something with your particular device. Everything is working fine for me too.
[Android Apps and Games] Txatxiquesi:
Upgraded previus version with the new, for the non-root app.

No problems so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Tomatot-:
Updated to last version with magisk and absolutely no issues as always with this app/module. Thank you so much Vanced team. :) :highfive:

Edit: brightness swipes wouldn't work but after clearing the app data all good! So for people who have bugs I'd suggest you to try that.
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
Edit - typos

Just updated to 13.43.50, non-root, black.

After update, app could not open. Cleared data and it's business as usual after setting up.

Ulefone Armor X running stock Android 8.1.0 with Magisk 17.3.

Thanks to the devs!
[Android Apps and Games] ahb83:
That requires a swipe, I'm talking about yt automatically goes into full screen when I turn it
[Android Apps and Games] chooks06:
I'm currently on non-root v13.43.50 black.

When video is playing and I change to landscape, video goes full screen.

If I'm in landscape mode, it starts in full screen.

I didn't find any specific setting to control this behavior.
[Android Apps and Games] oolikers:
14.43.50 black version ? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
I am saying if you want a diagnosis and troubleshooting, then you HAVE TO provide both info and logs. Logs do not mean crash/FC/reboot. Logs are generated ALWAYS. Even when your device is standing still with NOTHING going on.

I am using black version. And there is no problem with pull-down to refresh home feed.
[Android Apps and Games] PaMa69:
after updating to 13.43.50 dark version, I can't swipe down to refresh home page.... my device is S7 Edge and OS Oreo 8.0

i have tried uninstall youtube vanced and restart my phone, then install again but same swipe down to refresh doesn't working

how to fix it ?? thanks before
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
It is NOT pointless to say "I don't have a bug".

Because it means the issue is NOT a module/app problem. Because if it WAS module/app problem, then we would ALL have the same issues. If only 10-15 users have issues (that have reported so far) and other hundreds of users do not (that haven't reported), this means it is MOST probably not app/module problem. That is why waiting for devs recognition should be the case only for when everybody has issues.

If you want to help dev, then you should provide as much info as possible. In this case, we can see a pattern (e.g. all MIUI users have the bug, or all nougat users have the bug). If that would be the case, then dev ACTUALLY might recognize and fix it. That is why we say BUG reports always have to be with FULL DEVICE INFO and LOGS (to be able to replicate the issue).

In such cases, each user that has the issue, should try cleaning his phone from any ad/vpn blockers, disable all xposed and other magisk modules, and if possible, clean install the app. Such issues may persist if some modules have smth that disrupts functioning, or some app data/cache that doesnt allow newer app to function.

It also can be an enabled function, e.g. accessibility function, that disables the YouTube swipe action. That is why you need to have a clean app, with no residue.

About logging, as I said on my previous post, logs are generated always.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Alright you screw-heads, listen up! You need to stop spamming up the thread and wasting the devs and everyone else's time with the whole pull to refresh issue, mkay? So far I've tried the non-root version of YTV 13.43.50, both white/black and white/dark on three different phones with three different versions of Android because your complaining is driving me nuts, and so far I haven't experienced this pull to refresh issue y'all keep *****ing about.

Now ask yourself this: if I'm not experiencing that issue on three different phones with three different versions of Android is there a chance that there is an xposed module on your phone that is making the app play up? Or maybe you're running crappy firmware or you're using the rooted version of YTV? Because from my testing this sounds like a you problem, not a YTV problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
Have you actually tried it on three different phone's?

If not, have you tried running YouTube Vanced (the non root version) on a clean installation of Android? Because I can't replicate this issue no matter how hard I try.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
The root or non-root version? Specifics, man.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
And you tried the unrooted version on a clean phone, correct? No Xposed modules, root, custom firmware or anything like that? We need to rule out as many possibilities of what could be causing it.

In addition, have you tried using Vanced on a different Google account? If so is the problem still present?
[Android Apps and Games] theArhar:
for now just use 13.37.52 and join our whining army

also seems to be 8.0 problem
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
It's not an 8.0 problem because my Mate 10 is on 8.0 (stock, no mods), and I'm not experiencing the pull to refresh issue with a latest unrooted version of Vanced.

My only explanation is that the problem has to be user error, what else could it be?
[Android Apps and Games] Supermatt01:
Still has ads

This app is great but it still displays an ad. It's not my fault. I didn't update the app from play store, it just can't get rid of the ad properly.
[Android Apps and Games] Grumpy Cat:
From what the devs tell me the ad issue might be linked to your region, that's something they can't fix on their end. If you want to attempt to get rid of ads completely yourself install AdClear and Parallel Space then run Vanced through the latter, it's worth a shot.

I've never experienced the other issues you've had on other phone's, versions of Vanced or Android (KitKat to Oreo), so I can't help unless I can replicate the issue(s). Best to send your logs to the devs.
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Dear Sir, Madam,

I think I read all your posts in this thread and it seems you're trying to report bugs, so please let me quote the second post (that you will have already read for sure) :

Let's check the list :

Make sure you are being enough descriptive of the problem.

Descriptions of the problem are there, you use the non-root version and you mention also having tested on 3 phones (Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy A5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 9). But where are the versions of Android you use on each phone, which ROM you use, which of them are rooted,...? Do you think devs can guess that, or that these kind of information are not important for bug solving?

Take a logcat (Google search if you don't know how). Especially if the issue is a crash.

You provided none despite having been asked many times!

(please find here an example of a logcat of my phone when I just open YouTube Vance, do nothing, and exit app, does it look empty to you??)

Taking pictures of the problem doesn't hurt.

Optional, but did not see any in an effort to help others investigate or solve your issue...

If the report is vaque (missing information) it will most likely just be ignored. If you are not going to show any effort in resolving the problem, why should I?

Does that need clarification? If not, why are you wondering why your report is not taken seriously?

Just a last thing, a lot of problems can be solved without the help of the devs who are normal human beings like you and me and can be pretty busy with other things that actually earn them a living.

Please take all that as informational and just know that you have earned a special place in my ignore list, just so you may choose if you bother answering me (last tip: you may want to make better use of your time and post a complete bug report instead, it definitely has better chances of solving your issues...)

I am using a brand account. Is the history still NOT working with the microG_YouTube_Vanced_0.2.4-105.apk ?

I am also concerned about the security: Can someone "hack", steal, or somehow compromise my Google and/or YouTube account/channel ? Somebody can even delete my Google account and YouTube channel !

What do you think ? The app itself requires no additional permissions, but still ...

Thanks in advance.

Unless you give the details to someone un-trustworthy, your details won't get stolen. You're at the same level of risk as the rest of us using Google accounts are.

[Android Apps and Games] calvinjstev:
For the sake of providing details to the developer,

YTV 13.43.50 (White/Black - Non Root) running on my Xiaomi Mi A1 (Non Root - Android 8.1 - Nov Security patch) has this issue of the homepage not refreshing with a swipe down gesture. As a side note, I do not have any Adblockers or others installed.
[Android Apps and Games] tassos_chry:
Which means he never read the OP
[Android Apps and Games] calvinjstev:
I tried using YTV logged out and the refresh issue persists.
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
That is the whole reason of FORUM. To help together. As a family. You ask for fix but dont provide info, and that is why WE are trying our best to help DEVs to get the info they require.

From what I observed, non-root ones are mostly the ones that have issue. I am on magisk module and dont get the issue.

Either way, I was trying to help USERS that had issues. But if they are so much stubborn. I'd better leave them with their bugs

Couple things, on my Pixel 3 XL, just downloaded non-rooted v13.43.50 build 01.26.00 with vDark theme and MicroG v0.2.4-105:

Not all videos clicked on show up in history (like, I just played a few seconds of about 5 videos and not a single one showed up in the refreshed Recent or History screens... And history is not on pause btw)

Anyone have any info on these things? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] lodk:
Maybe a repeat question and I am sorry if so, I searched but found no definitive answer.

I upgraded to the latest YTV apk13.43.50 then started getting an add on my home page. I uninstalled and reinstalled the YTV apk I previously had and still have ads. I have attached a screen shot. And if more info is needed I can hopefully get it. Presently running micro g 0.2.4-105 and YTV 13.37.52. My phone is note 9 oreo 8.1 snapdragon. Non rooted . Thanks in advance.

I should add I do not have ads during playback..
[Android Apps and Games] irasek85:
I have non-root versions. everything works ok, and there is no background playback. I deleted the original youtube. but I left it turned on. and I've uploaded the latest vanced.
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
Hello,

regarding your issues with History, here is an article about it in the FAQ (second post) :

Did you try this already?

You shouldn't "see" any adblocking happening as the purpose of this is not displaying ads at all (not replacing them by placeholders). There is no settings for disabling/enabling adblocking either: if you use that app then you don't get video ads, if you use original Youtube app then you get video ads. Do you have video ads playing before a video when you use YouTube Vanced?

If you do then you're probably using the normal Youtube (because of installation, upgrade or other kind of issue), how does the app icon look : like the official red&white YouTube icon or like the YouTube Vanced icon (as visible in OP)?
[Android Apps and Games] just4747:
Thanks so much. The history problem was in fact the brand account thing. I wasn't even aware of that or that I had my account set up that way. I "merged" them or whatever I just did lol..and the history seems to work fine now!

For ad blocking, I will keep an eye on it. Maybe it is working but I swear at first I was seeing ads. Now I can't seem to get any to play before a video.

FYI - I still have original YouTube still installed alongside Vanced. The Vanced app icon is the Black background with red striped arrow inside.

Also, to enable background/screen off play, I have to press the little headphones button in the PIP window right? No other way to activate it?
[Android Apps and Games] bafforosso:
For background play, it seems users of the non-root version are experiencing issues with recent versions from what I've read.

Using the root version (and on Android 9 Pie), I simply need to go to Settings > Background > Playback and choose either "Headphones or external speakers" or "Always on". Then when I'm playing any video (with my bluetooth headphones connected if on "Headphones or external speakers"), if I simply press twice on the "back" button it goes to background playback too.

P.S.: You're welcome, but If F.A.Q. contained the solution to your issue it means you haven't made much effort in searching for a solution. Next time please consider starting by making an effort yourself before requiring others to do so, our time is not less precious than yours. (This applies for all projects everywhere, not just this thread and not just on XDA...)
[Android Apps and Games] Pseudonym:
There's something wrong in latest version. Offline downloads always get reloaded after a few hours or after clearing youtube in memory (force close). Not major like redownloading all of it. It just says refreshing thumbnail. Other versions don't do this. Minimum is 2 days before they get refreshed.
