It also happens on my Note 3 and I don't know why. My solution was to go back to the YouTube version that came with my phone when I first got it. I don't know which Android model you have but if it was released sometime in the past year then the YouTube version shouldn't be too different. If it is older you could uninstall to the stock version of YouTube, then download and install an official YouTube apk that came out sometime between September 2013 to June 2014 and see if that helps. Hope that helped

It happens on my Note 3 as well but only with low quality videos. The easiest solution is to go to your Application Manager》YouTube》Uninstall Updates and you'll be fine.
