you gotta go in manage applications in setting and delete com.google.youtube.apk or wutever from there, then reboot and install.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Frogacuda:
Same deal here, worked for 2 or 3 days, now just force closes all the time. Anyone isolate the cause of this yet?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] defconoi:
logout of youtube after you close it down, when you reboot after its still logged in it causes the issue I have found
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Frogacuda:
I didn't reboot the phone between when it was working and when it stopped, but I DID log in to view a non-public video. Or by "reboot" do you just mean exiting Youtube and starting it again?

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes this issue, of course, but it'd be nice if there were a more elegant fix.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SeanFloyd:
yep, hella force close issues
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] MitchRapp:
how come you guys are calling this the Gingerbread Youtube ... isn't this the youtube that any 2.2 user can get from the market?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lbingham:
Force Closing

I'm having the same issue, but I just used terminal emulator to do the file moving; I never deleted com.google.youtube.apk; I just deleted the old one and renamed the new one to YouTube.apk and placed it in system/app. Used it a few times and it worked great. Then, the next day it would only force close. I cleared caches and fixed permissions, but it didn't help.

Just now, I used adb and followed the directions exactly and it fixed it. So far, it's working great. Will repost with new update in a day or two.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Roadmasta01:
Thanks a bunch!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lbingham:
Well, its been a few hours, I watched a couple videos, logged into my account and watched as video there. I haven't restarted my phone, but it's broken again...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
Just dont log in
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lbingham:
Ok, so, I just through Menu>Settings>Applications and then I did a busybox copy through terminal emulator and put it in system/app and it works again... For now.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] McHale:
absolutely retarded word choice from the OP and for some ridiculous reason or another, people are continuing to use it and invent creative stories that this version is leaked from the upcoming gingerbread.

Will SOMEONE fix the thread title?

THIS IS A HACKED VERSION OF THE YOUTUBE APP WHICH IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET.

jeeeesh!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] betterment66:
ok i got to the adb shell thing and then it shows a $ sign..after i type adb remount like it says to do i get this "adb: not found" can someone help please
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] freddiehillz:
ahh

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
Reading the OP helps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] freddiehillz:
can i just install it again in the market? the original one?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] sl0play:
Thanks! Renamed app to youtubehd.apk and replaced with root explorer.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] djkdawg:
mine only messes up after i sign in, so i imma try it for a few days without signing in.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Deltido:
I'm sure your question was already answered. But I would first go to (from the home screen) Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>and force close the youtube app.

then I personally just renamed the youtube app in the system/app/ directory to youtube.bak. Then went on to install the new youtube application with no problems.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eduardo.sch:
It stopped working for me...

I try to open and... FORCE CLOSE... Always!

Issues

Hey,

Does someone have the .apk for the old app. I tried the steps and failed horribly. I'm without the app now and pretty upset I can't get this to work. Lesson learned. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] briankao1992:
the apk is from fusion 1.1

http://66.79.160.84/ftp/kaokao/YouTubeHD.apk
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bigbass12:
Lesson Learned

Thanks Brianko,

I found the apk file to help it get running again. I run LauncherPro on top of my stock ROM and don't really ever use Root Explorer. My error was following the below instructions:

Even after I removed the files, I kept getting the message "Application not installed".

Maybe I should go through the ADB setup, but I don't know how to do all that. I just want the steps broken down to stupid level because clearly I don't understand all the multiple steps or methods everyone is saying "works".
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] briankao1992:
just do this in adb

adb uninstall com.google.android.youtube

adb install *whatever your apk is called*.apk

worked for me
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bigbass12:
Worked. Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Rodriguez92:
Stop working smh force closes.. This sucks I love this new youtube
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] eunkipark92:
Did u read op? Dont sign in or its gonna FC
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] vitalik228:
The reason why it says application cannot install is because after removing the stock YouTube app you have to go into manage applications in setting and uninstall a YouTube file there too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] loogielv:
this.

read this entire thread and you'll find the instructions on how to remove it. something about setting filter in manage applications.

the answer is here somewhere.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PaiPiePia:
Is the OP still actively fixing the Force Close problem due to Signing in?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ensonnosne:
I don't think he is going to fix the fc. He probably found this app and the Op story was bs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GLAMAZON:
im new to this not a tecky at all i downloaded the you tube app on my mac... now what do i do. how do i get it on my phone?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ensonnosne:
Now throw it in the trash unless you don't plan to ever forget to sign out of youtube
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Spartoi:
I can sign in fine and use the app even after rebooting and whatnot. What gives/gave me FCs was when I would kill the app with Advanced Task Killer. Ending the app with the default Samsung Task Manager doesn't give me any FCs though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] BeeDubs:
Ok, I used Root Explorer to delete the old apk and ALL references to YouTube.

Then, I tried to install the "Gingerbread" apk package. I get "Application not installed." with a red warning triangle and a button that says "Done" at the bottom.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] BeeDubs:
I don't see a YouTube file to uninstall there after I deleted the original apk and reference files in Root Explorer.

EDIT: Oh, it's com.google.android.youtube (or something like that). It was listed as 0.00 KB and I uninstalled it then installed the Gingerbread YouTube.

Thanks, OP!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] chichu_9:
Works Great, Thank you for Sharing.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aeok18109:
will install when someone who knows wtf there doing fixes the FC issue
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] thecarter91:
whats the adb command for the uninstall
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rolle3k:
I had a cat lag (yes my cat walked over my keyboard) and I lost my Android 2.1 emulator image that came with GApps. Does anyone here can link me to a Android 2.1 Emulator image that comes with Google Apps? I can't sign into my youtube account without having those installed so I can't fix the FCs when logging in.

All the best,

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] trustinhate:
omg thank you. i didn't even think to look in there after i removed the program with root manager. lifesaver lol.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Blkegk:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Gigabytex:
Alright.. I'm new here but I've been doing a lot of reading and learning, but I guess my mistake could have been uninstalling with Titanium.. I did that, tried to install apk and nothing, I got adb but it wont work, i tried Droid Explorer but it crashes... I'm running Bionix Fusion 1.1 with The Core v1 1.2 GHz and have no YouTube app.. Is there anything I can do?
[XPERIA X10 General] deconfrost:
thinking of getting a x10, found a guy selling a new in box for very little, he bought it on upgrade, so Im paying €250, never used.

I'm happy with the x8, and I really like the x10, can have my x8 gone as soon as x10 is collected so really I'm paying €70.

any ups and downs on the x10, if I do get it I don't intend to change it for a long time :)

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] needmoregigs:
The X10 is nice in the hardware department and not too different in the software. You might want to hold out until both phones have been upgraded before you make the jump. SE might do something to differentiate the software. It's pure speculation on my part so don't give too much thought into it.
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Go for it! Four inches screen is much nicer to use than 3 inches. I have a 3.2 inches as well, but I don't use it now. I use only the X10...

[XPERIA X10 General] Puck24:
It's really a no-brainer. X10, definitely.
[XPERIA X10 General] deconfrost:
yea I think I go for it :) isnt 2.1 launch already on x10, I'm a bit frustrated with 1.6 on the x8 since more than half the apps I want to use are 2.x up :)
[XPERIA X10 General] tookieboy:
yeah definitely x10.. i mean (x8 wtf?) and x10 is not on 2.1 yet. read the 2.1 thread.. but we'll according to SE, x10 will get 2.1 before x8
[XPERIA X10 General] pshdo:
X10 don´t have FM radio, and not the color depth, nor has it got the one finger zoom eigther...

So depending on what you are going to use the phone for, there is a different answer to your question...;)
[XPERIA X10 General] roaringhere:
Don't listen to the guy who misses his X10, and keeps hanging out here...
[XPERIA X10 General] deconfrost:
I dont mind not having FM radio, I've never ever once wanted to listen to the radio on the phone in my entire life :D lol what about the color depth? as to zoom, thats another thing i dont use much and Im sure the camera is better than the x8, I like the x8, its a nice phone, but the x10 just keep pulling me to itself :) lol

Performance, power, speed, capacity, bandwidth, these would be most of my usage, and the terminal ofcos :) oh forgot, also works as a normal phone is very important :)

lol

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eric12341:
see screenshots below. it seems that between 24 and 48 hours of uptime the top right corner of the screen freezes and fails to refresh along with the rest of the screen. in the screenshots is a piece of the htc website when i rotated the screen to landscape then back to portrait to make the problem more visible. so far the only way ive been able to fix it was a soft reset. this has happend to me on every 6.1 rom available and now on stock for the 2nd time so far that ive experienced this. any other fix?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
Is it still under warranty? See if you can get a brand new phone out of it. I have no idea, though. If it's spanning multiple ROMs, then it is likely to be a problem with the LCD refreshing (or not refreshing).
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eric12341:
its under TEP with sprint, its not doing it on any 6.5 ROMs and a soft reset fixes it. its just annoying having to do that because it interferes with my uptime
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cajunflavoredbob:
If it's under the warranty, I would still suggest seeing if you can get it to happen on the stock ROM and then calling for a replacement. The only thing I can think of is to do a task29 and then flash a different ROM to see if it still happens. The conditions you're describing are baffling. It's happening on 6.1 ROMs only after one to two days, and a soft reset fixes it. The task29 suggestion is the best I can come up with here.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eric12341:
im trying a different theme right now. it would happen with the sprint theme on. now i switched to the windows default theme. ill be back in here tuesday to see if it happens again
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] eric12341:
didnt happen when i was on the windows mobile 6.1 default theme, seems to be linked to the sprint one, but it looks so simple and sharp
[General Questions and Answers] keyo:
I haven't found much on this by searching so I'm posting here.

Basically I rooted my phone with the one click application for OSX. Then downloaded OCLF from android market and used "OneClickLagFix V2+" to fix the lag. It worked and quadrant scored over double the previous score.

I uninstalled the lagfix via OCLF as I was about to do an upgrade on Kies. OCLF confirms that the lagfix is not installed.

However I did a quadrant benchmark to check if it worked and got 1718 for the score. This seems way to high for the lag fix to be removed. Stock phones are meant to be around 800.

How can I make sure the lag fix is removed/disabled before I proceed to flashing roms?

Thanks for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] keyo:
What I did to fix this was put a file named "disable lagfix" into the Voodoo folder using an app similar to rootexplorer. Reboot and the lagfix was removed with a robotic voice announcing the progress.

I have been on a GSM network in South Africa for ages.

I have had HTC devices for the last few years.

I am now resident in the USA using my TP2 with an AT&T prepaid card.

The phone is getting a bit old and I want to get one of the newer HTC devices offered by Verizon/Sprint etc.

Is the only way to get these phones at a reasonable price to tie oneself to a 2 year contract with one of these operators?

If I go CDMA will I miss GSM?

How do most of you USA residents get your phones??
[General Topics] twitch351:
If you want to get a good phone at a reasonable price, either check here on the XDA Market forum, ebay, or you could go for a two year contract.

Honestly I believe that GSM is much more convenient to use than CDMA for the simple fact of being able to put your SIM in any phone without having to worry about paying flashing charges like you would have to do for a CDMA company if you wanted to have your phone number working on one phone or another. It's all preference. Do what you like best and enjoy your phone to it's fullest :)

yes this is true, its the original OTA 2.2 file. OTA updates will come to your phone.

Yes, I have tried that too before but it doesn't work on my phone. It only works on Cyanogen and hiapk ROMs :(

Any more ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mercianary:
Try this from 'adb shell' or a terminal emulator on your phone.

su

cp -rf /data/data/dirtocopy /sdcard/diryouwantyourfiles/

I think you'll need busybox installed as android doesn't come with cp.

I am using Hastarins 7.6 kernel with ext batt support and Froyostones 3.2 build (Most recent as of Oct 23)

I have done some extensive research, although, i have not yet figured out a way to get an accurate reading, in android, of my extended battery (life percentage)

I have calibrated my battery (charged to 100% w/ phone on, shut off phone and charged until green light, then booted android, then turned off and charged again until green, then turned on and booted android) only to find out that the battery discharges at the same rate as with the original battery all the way down to 0%.... but does not recognize that the battery holds twice as much power. so really, the 100% battery drains to 0% on extended battery but does not recognize that the battery still holds 50% of its power left

i have never deleted my "batterystats.bin" Because i can't find the file anywhere using a root explorer and even recovery, although, i was told that this step is not necessary in calibration.

I have current widget and my draw is around 60mA on standby with BOTH original and extended batteries but It seems the android OS cannot get accurate readings on the extended battery? It cannot multiply the battery meter by 2 so that the drainage is reciprocal to the larger battery, thus resulting in a slower drain (like 10%/hour drain with original battery would equal 5%/hour drain on extended) ?

correct me if i'm wrong somebody please, or am i missing a step (besides deleting the batterstats.bin which i cannot find out how to do even after downloading recovery)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jogden:
anyone have any information on this ratio?? battery percentage reading and the extended battery? will they ever be compatible for correct readings??

i've got the same problem with a cameron sino 2400 mah battery, but not only on android! i also got the problem on windows mobile (on every radio and rom version).

after removing the battery out of the device, it will show the right percentage of the remaining batterypower, but the batteryindicator is still falling in the speed of the normal battery.

i couldn't find any solution yet, but maybe it's a battery internal problem of the chip inside the battery.

it looks like the device is reloading the battery-chip-data only when plugging in the battery.

can you tell me, if your battery also is a cameron sino battery? or is it an original?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bountygiver:
have you recallibrate your battery? Let it drain till 0%, and keep try to turn device on until totally no vibrate, then charge to 100% after 100% turn phone off and charge till green light, unplug and charge with phone off for a few times.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schildzilla:
i already calibrated mine many times, but no change in the result.

i have read from anywhere else in the internet, that most people got that problem with chinese extended batterys.

one of that guys ordered a 2300mah extended battery from the manufacturer leicke - looks like it is maybe the same as the original one and he said, the new battery dont have the problem anymore and is working correct.

i ordered the same battery yesterday (for 21,- euro) and i will test it myself. i think the problem is the chip inside the chinese batterys, that will tell the device its a small one.

by the way, my cameron sino 2400mah battery is made of two small batterys that are linked.

i disassembled it!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seVIIen:
Thats guy is me ^^ . But I i really dont see the big different between extended and the original . Must i really do the "recalibrate thing " ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schildzilla:
update: now i've got the leicke 2300mah battery with backcover and metal kickstand.

cover is fitting 100% and all looks and feels like its made of high quality.

the batterydraining ist detected correct and i dont have to remove the battery to see the current chargelevel.

the problem was that chinese crappy battery!

only one thing for androidusers: because of the most kernels don't support the extended batterys (temperature is reportet wrong and android is shutting down after booting), you need to change to a kernel like hastarin 7.7 or 7.8 that is supporting the extended batterys.

overclocking of the hastarin linux kernel work with overclock-apps, so there is no need for an overclocked kernel.

i'm very happy with that battery and it cost only 21 euro over amazon in germany.

i will never get a cheap chinese battery again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Shaddai's Wrath:
