Does anyone else have this bug?
If I am watching a video on my mobile, while connected to BT headphones, the screen darkens and an annoying symbol appears, so you can't watch anything because this stupid symbol is in the way. Apparently it appears when Wi-Fi is enabled too.
People are giving the youtube app bad reviews on Play Store because of it and Google seems to be blocking references to it on Google search.

Any advice on how to get rid of it would be very welcome. Thanks.

Mine is fine on my Z1 it's not doing that anyway.

It's ok from the Galaxy Nexus. I'm currently watching a video over wifi.

It is a connect symbol. Probably because you are connected via BT. On my Note 3 the symbol is visible in the upper right corner and gives me the option to stream you-tube content to my tv.

Still haven't found a way to disable it.

Have you tried clearing the cache from the App manager??
Posted by goldenface
Yeah. The only way I can get rid of it is to uninstall youtube updates but then youtube automatically updates stuff again. There must be some other way.

for those interested.. google is aware of the problem and is working to fix it.
does it only happen with the youtube app? have you tried using chrome or another browser app (e.g., dolphin) to visit youtube?

How to go to home page of YouTube, in newer versions of app, after watching a bunch of videos?
Posted by goldenface
Not sure. Don't you just swipe down?
Posted by emporium
Swiping down does not do anything for me.
