[Android Apps and Games] Zeuszoos:
Hello,

Samsung A716U1 Unlocked (Hers)

Samsung S20 Ultra SM-G988U1 (Mine)

Both with Android 13

Neither phone is Rooted

SORRY FOR THE LENGTH! I know it's long, but PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY? I promise, it's not going where you'll think it is and the steps I took will probably eliminate a lot of the common answers that will pop into your head and thereby save you the typing time. :)

First, "Retrial's" work on the PreMade ReVanced YouTube had been working fine on both my wife's phone and mine (each signed in with our own Google accounts) for months and we love it! Awesome app!!! 🙂 Both phones are Samsungs with Android 13 and we were running the following (PreMade Apk):

ReVanced YouTube v18.38.44

microG v2.227.230755

(See Update done further down)

Yes, the Preinstalled YouTube is Disabled on both phones (remember, all was great for months). Plus my wife doesn't even know how to get to the "Settings", but I did double check everything anyway.

She's having a weird problem…..

My wife's stopped being able to play Full YouTube videos in the app. It would only play the ones called, "Shorts". Mine still worked fine.

So just to see what happened, I downloaded the newest PreMade ReVanced YouTube v19.04.37 and installed it on mine first. It works fine. 🙂

Wife's Phone: Updated, but she still had the same issue. So I Uninstalled Revanced YT, Removed Account from microG, Uninstalled microG, Rebooted.

I then Enabled the Preinstalled YouTube and the full videos played fine. So I Disabled it again and Rebooted again.

I then installed microG again and signed her in with the same Google account that she always uses, including for the preinstalled YouTube. Then I installed the ReVanced YouTube v19.04.37 and Rebooted again.

I opened the Revanced YouTube app, went into the Settings for it and the ReVanced Settings within it as well and did the same on my phone and matched hers to mine, setting by setting for every single setting. I even exited the app, restarted it, exited it again and Rebooted again.

When the phone came up, I tried it again, but once again, the SAME PROBLEM!

This was when I started to wonder if it was somehow related to her account, even though her account worked fine with the regular Preinstalled YouTube. So I grabbed her other phone, a Motorola (Android 13) that isn't on a Cell network, but does connect to the Internet via WiFi.

Motorola: I Disabled the Preinstalled YouTube, installed microG and ReVanced YouTube v19, but had the same problem on that phone.

So I ran an experiment: Added MY Google account into microG, opened up ReVanced YouTube, Switched to my account and Yes, it DID work! It played full videos fine.

Can anybody please explain this to me??? And how to fix it, please? If Google was somehow punishing her account, then it wouldn't play the full videos in the regular, preinstalled YouTube either.

FYI, under her account, it'll say; "This Video Is Unavailable" and some other nonsense. But my account plays the same videos fine. And it's not the microG needing to be updated too, because it worked fine on the same phone, with the same exact videos, by just switching to my account. So what gives???

I've attached 2 Screenshots.

#1 from the Samsung

#2 from the Motorola

Thank You!!! 🙂
