Solved ! ( apparently not related to AdBlockPlus)

To make a long story short, I don't have AdBlockPlus but i DO have DroidWall installed.

just forgot I had to allow "MediaServer" to access the internet (as well as YouTube of course) - problem solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] i7vSa7vi7y:
This has been happening to me. I fixed it by going to manage apps. YouTube, Delete cache, delete data, uninstall updates and I clicked the turn off button. Ran cleanmaster app and removed junk files. Then I rebooted and turned youtube back on and now videos will play. I'm on the Galaxy S4 stock.

Hopefully this helps someone

By the way Facebook wouldn't play any videos it would say "can't play video" and now Facebook is playing the same videos that it couldn't before.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Two_byte_Four:
:good:

Thanks that did it for me as well. Have been searching on the internet but no real solution for people with a firewall or a privacy app (pdroid/xprivacy etc). But this made it work on my S4.

Thanks! :laugh:

Hi i have the same issue

first i dont have adblock or droidwall but still the problem persist, and only on my wifi connection, even on browser the m.youtube wont work, i tried everthing ,clear cache and data,restart,pull the battery,change rom,update the app,restart,google,seek help, i gave up, please help me it has something to do with proxy thing but, i dont have a proxy setting on my settings im using gingerbread 2.3.6, i also tried apps like proxydroid and all of its kind, still doesnt fix my problem, im so frustrated with this thing. I cant watch youtube videos anymore please help to fix this, i just saw this "All you need to do is ensure that Proxy settings is set as None and not Manual. That’s all, my best bet is that you will now be able to play the videos in the YouTube app." but i dont have setting like done, please help me, thanks in advance :(

No AdBlock, Firewall, root or custom ROM

I have stock device 4.3 android (not Samsung btw.). As i said, no adblock/firewall/custom rom etc.

When I updated YouTube app, I got that connection problem.

I've tryed reinstalling, changing DNS1 and 2, clearing data... Nothing helped...

Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zeuszoos:
That doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 AM ----------

It's happening to me now too. But since mine's installed as a User App and not a System App, I can't just uninstall the updates, although I did try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling. No joy.

I've tried a dozen different things. You should know that lots of people post lots of "solutions", but for 95% of the users, none of them work.

I'm hurting especially bad, because it happens to me on both types of connections (4G & WiFi). I even tried a 3rd party YouTube app and that wouldn't work either.

All this since today's (or last night's?) v10.25.57 YouTube update!

I am running a Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy (SGH-M819N) Mega

KitKat 4.4.4 (Stock), Rooted

Thank You.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zeuszoos:
Hi,

I tried disabling AdAway and reverting back to the original Hosts file, but no joy.

This time, it's affecting both my 4G & WiFi connections. When this happened before, I could at least watch it on 4G.

The weird thing is, that if I'm not signed in, I can watch videos. But once I sign in, EVEN WHEN USING A 3RD PARTY YOUTUBE APP, I have the problem!

Yes, eventually a YouTube update will come through that will fix it (could be 6 months or so), but I'm thinking that something "underneath" it all got updated/changed at the same time, because otherwise;

Why would it affect me only when I sign in?

And if it was limited to only the YouTube app being updated and there isn't anything else being changed at the same time in the background where you don't see it, then how could 3rd party YouTube apps be affected when you sign in to them with your Google (Gmail) account?

See what I mean? Something else, "under the hood" simply must be going on, amen?

[Xperia Z1 General] techguyone:
Of all the sites, I find GSMArenas review process to be one of the most thorough & reputable

Here's their take on the Z1

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1-review-987.php

It's all pretty good, right until you come to the frankly bewildering browser & video playing battery life.

Hopefully it's something that can be addressed in firmware as the talktime & standby time are pretty good.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mi|enko:
Note, they call out the lack of HDR for images. HDR isn't an option in Superior Auto, or when you go manual and bump to full resolution; however, if you drop the resolution in manual to 8MP, HDR is indeed there. With how fast the images take, I'm surprised they didn't leave HDR as an option for the 20MP resolution, but hey, they probably have their reasons.
[Xperia Z1 General] gavinfabl:
There are 2 HDR modes as well. Just shows how unthorough the review was.

I dont understand why companies think it is ok to release buggy phones. The Z1 really needs an update, espcially on the camera. Battery life is excellent
[Xperia Z1 General] thelittleidiot:
Generaly I like the test of GSM Arena but not this one, because they fail on the 2 major point of the phone, the screen and the camera.

For the camera they said that they're not impressed. Yes but they couldn't make a good with the default of the lens of the pre-unit they had. So they can't juge this point.

The second one is the screen. It's maybe not the best, the HTC One or the LG G2 are maybe better. But the S4 screen isn't better than the one of the Z1. I have both and I made some test. When the contrast is better on the S4, the color are false. When the color are right (in video mode), the contrast and the brightness is better on the Z1 screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] Mi|enko:
It's hard to compare side by side. It's like buying a TV at best buy or Fry's. You're in the showroom and you can nitpick from one TV to another. Get any one by itself and you probably wouldn't have any problems with any of them (beyond defects and/or missing features and whatnot). Most users wouldn't know the difference.
[Xperia Z1 General] jezaster:
I dont trust gsmarena, they are too biased towards Samsung, ill wait until technobuffalo or someone else review the z1
[Xperia Z1 General] sachinaik:
It looks like Sony rushed the product.

Battery life : lets hope firmware update improves it.

Camera : lets hope blah blah same as above

Screen : not guaranteed. Lets hope blah blah

If this is the case then why not lets see if the z2 is better and then buy that.

They haven't put s-master audio chip/amplifier to boost volume level.

I was looking for a 5 inch phone which bests my One. But m sure Z1 is not that phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] vapotrini:
A firmware update is not going to fix the battery life. Otherwise the Z wouldn't be as anemic as it is. Weak video and browser times.
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
Yeah the battery life had me scared the most since my phone is on its way in the mail.

How can they make a phone with the same SoC as the G2, same batterysize, and a smaller screen, and it gets half the browsing and videotime as the G2. Sounds like software to me.

Also when you pull up the camera comparison on gsm arena, the Z1 pictures doesn't even stand a chance against the S4 or G2.
[Xperia Z1 General] Tizza:
I'd say it's the screen.
[Xperia Z1 General] ajftl:
g2 uses a new battery technology .. z1 didnt
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
Darn, Now I'm really thinking twice about buying this phone...

The Battery Life is very important to me... 6 hours of web browsing and 6 hours of video playback is quite pathetic for a 3000 mah battery...

I was at least expecting 9 hours each... :(
[Xperia Z1 General] Apoxx:
weird since IPS screens are less battery efficient than TN panels.
[Xperia Z1 General] Morlock O:
This really sucks by sony...

How can a bigger phone with bigger screen Z Ultra have more video playback than a smaller phone Z1?

both uses same software, battery and same screen....

I cannot understand this...
[Xperia Z1 General] Choriandus:
GSM stated that their xperia z1 is a pre-production one so it probably doesn't have the latest software :eek: . Therefore their statements on the phone are probably not accurate :p
[Xperia Z1 General] paranoid2007:
Dream on...

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk 4
[Xperia Z1 General] tom369:
Reviews based on pre-production units only make confusion because you'll never be sure if they changed something in the final unit or not. There might be a small update in the firmware for example that changes how the phone performs. I'm surprised Sony Mobile gives out pre-release devices for reviews.

And based on this GSM Arena review the battery life is very poor, half of what other competitors achieve (LG G2).
[Xperia Z1 General] lee480:
In terms of sales, definitely.

Oh, camera, speed too.
[Xperia Z1 General] Tizza:
Perhaps it is weird. I can't say I'm a tech guru but it just feels like it's a power-hungry screen. Did Sony spend so much time beefing up screen quality that it neglected (or felt it warranted the sacrifice of) battery life? I don't know, but I get the impression that this is the case.

I doubt software optimisation is going to change much, but I do accept the possibility that I could be wrong.
[Xperia Z1 General] techguyone:
Agreed, although I add the caveat that if there's any firmware change or a new unit, GSM Arena are likely to redo those parts of the review and update (like they did on the HTC 1 when that too had non final software)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamhot:
Hi people. I have been running a rooted phone for a while and decided to go back to unrooted recently. I decided I would like to use the barclays app and apply the new updates that samsung rolled out recently. However when I flashed the stock firmware I found that the screen no longer worked. The phone seemed to boot up and play the samsung startup jingle but no splash logo. just a black screen. To test I decided to call it and the call came through ok and answered with the home button, speech all functional???!! Just no screen ... completely black??? Would this likely be a fault with the firmware or is it just uncanny timing with a faulty screen??? confused and wondered if anyone else has come across this before I go but a new screen. I downloaded the firmware from hotfile "I9505XXUDMH8_I9505OXXDMHA_I9505XXUDMH8_HOME"

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
i would say to stay away from new firmwares at this time....you are stuck in the locked bootloader.

can you boot in recovery or odin modes and see the screen?

wipe data and cache and reflash the MH8 then do the wipe. see if that works

can not determine if it is a HW or SW issue.

if you want to use app that doesnt require root like Barcley and you are rooted, you can hide the root with some available app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamhot:
It seems I am able to get the device into download mode, although nothing comes on the screen. I just have to do the procedure blind. No matter what I do nothing comes up. It also seems I can only get the phone to read the internal memory through USB once a flash procedure has completed. It seems to force a boot up but when I try to restart manually it does nothing but vibrate and only seems to be able to put into download mode while blind. I find it very unusual that the screen should suddenly stop working the moment I try and flash the standard firmware. Getting worried now. nothing seems to work
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamhot:
Can anyone help here??? I have tried flashing several times. Just vibrates and does nothing. I can get it into download mode but I don't get any warning screen up. I just go through the button combo's blind and it manages to get into communication with a odin com port. I have tried doing a PIT download. What I was then finding is that the phone can bring up a recovery screen with option to reset, I reset but the phone will just be a black screen and play the samsung start jingle without the splash screen. It then seems to boot and receive notifications with a totally black screen. completely unresponsive.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
If you can't see a splash screen or even recovery and download mode screens, then I'd say its a hw issue and no ROM is going to fix it, because those mentioned things are not even tied to the ROM.

Your screen has broken some how, it could be as simple as a flexi connector falling out or as bad as your screen being totally gone. :(

It doesn't look like hardware problem

[HTC One X] fuad541:
so i was just wondering is there going to be any touchwiz port from galaxy s4/s3 to hox?

, and i am not asking for a cm rom with mrmadd theme or a launcher, but an solid touchwiz port.

and its not like why would i want a touchwiz port or that it sucks , but its quite the contrary why shouldnt we have it

i would totaly enjoy it and i know many of us would .. :)
[HTC One X] HTC Venom:
My brother has owned a S3 device at the time I owned my One x . so here couple of points I would like to share

1-My brother always liked the Sense ROMs and disliked the touchwizy thing ,so people witth sense phones (HTC) are always lucky to have sense experience and not the wizzytouch thing

2-porting a touchwiz isnt that hard in my opinion , but porting to our device here has no need because we already have the goodness of the best of 2 worlds the Sense part which i consider to be the best Interface we had from all phone companies and AOSP part which has been ported successfully to our device
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
No.

NO Samsung device has the Tegra chipset, and unlike many Android open-source UI's the likes of Sense and Touchwiz are proprietary with no access to source from which to even base a port.
[HTC One X] fuad541:
Hmm so that means no touchwiz port will ever be availible on our devices thats sad , and i know that sense is realy on a whole better level than touchwiz but i just kinda thought that i might some time enjoy a funny-like-toy rom to play with in free time anyway thanks guys for your answers.

I'm planning to buy a BAD IMEI galaxy s3 from a seller on craigslist. My goal is to use it overseas in China. Can it be unlocked when it has a Bad IMEI? The seller told me it has a bad IMEI because he wasn't able to pay his bills. If it can be unlocked, does anyone know how? I know how to flash roms on phones but not sure how to unlock them.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Wow! At least the guy was honest about it. Surprising. (Then again, he may have reported it stolen, so he could get a replacement through insurance, then sell the other) You can probably unlock it, but I can't say for certain as I've never known anyone to try it.

But please consider this before buying. Even though the guy was honest(?) with you about it being blacklisted, it doesn't change the fact that you will be knowingly purchasing stolen property.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEUUEAUGH:
My KindleFire HD won't let me type anything anymore. This problem started two nights ago. I was on the Internet browser, writing a review for Rotten Tomatoes' new TV section, when the device shut down completely dead. I left for a few hours to go to a birthday party, and when I came back and plugged it up, I tried to start retyping the review again. However, the tablet only lets me type numbers and symbols now, and whenever I try to type a letter (the things I need to type my review), the screen suddenly freezes for about five seconds while the letter key holds down, and then the keyboard just simply disappears like I never tried to type anything. This is very unusual, since the device is only around a year old and in great shape. I've tried restarting my KindleFire many times over the past two days, which usually works in this type of situation after only one restart, but this time, it feels like this is going to be permanent and unfixable. Until I can type again, I've resorted to using my slow, old laptop. Is there anything else I can try? I appreciate your help greatly.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Hmmm... I don't know how prone to data loss an emmc chip is compared to a hard drive, but maybe something in the system corrupted related to the keyboard when your kindle just shut off like it did. You could always try putting it in fastboot and reflashing the system partition, it wouldn't wipe any of your data. If it is rooted it is a lot easier to get it into fastboot, unless you have a fastboot cable.

I saw this one out on SlickDeals: http://slickdeals.net/f/6286522-mot...upgrade-2-yr-contract?p=62013376#post62013376

Direct link here: https://www.cartoys.com/products/product.cfm/Motorola/ATWI_ATNEXTBLK

I don't know anything about Car Toys and the product description page was a little messed up (some details for the S4 Active - which made me a bit nervous), so I placed a call to Car Toys and confirmed it was the black Moto X (which is all I wanted anyway).

No tax and $100... I decided to go for it. I'll let you-all know how it goes.
[Moto X General] DarthSudo:
Only one complaint, for some reason Car Toys had to activate my SIM before sending the phone. They were kind enough to overnight it to me for free. So I was only without a phone for less then 24/hours.

Other than that, it was a great experience. Just a standard 16 GB black woven, for a great price. They left my unlimited data plan alone (the only reason I'm still using a contract AT&T phone anyway) and everything looks good.

This is a great deal, if you are looking at making the jump to Moto X.
