Omg , i searched the whole internet for a simple fix for this problem, but guess what... there is no solution. I hear a lot of people complaining about this ... but that's all . No solutions.

Problem is that useing Flash , i can play videos. But useing youtube app , well .. it fails. [ tip: Open the youtube page in full desktop version , and click on a video , it will ask you if you want to use Flash or Youtube. ]

So Xda, is there any solution? C'mon , you make Costum Roms , software and other complicated stuff , and still , you can't help us with a little fix? :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
This is so stupid. Me and my cousin bought the same phone , from Vod. and i have the youtube problem , and he doesn't . I can't see new videos, only old ones. And we didn't instal any aplications. The phones are pure stock.

More then 1 Year , and still there is no fix for it. :|

( HTC Wildfire , Android 2.2 , both )

rooting and flashing new rom did the trick for me
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Yeah .. well i brought this phone for less then 2 weeks, and a have a 2 Year Warranty at Vodafone , so flashing and rooting is out. I don't wanna lose my warranty.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] djdevine2:
You can unroot! Just flash a RUU when you want!!!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] unstoppable_punk_brainiac:
Wait , what do you mean unroot? Is even that posibile? From what i've read it's imposibile.

And i don't know if i understood correctly but an unroot android can't be backup.... Corect me if i am wrong , i'm new with this , and i will appreciate your help

Any news on this? I am getting "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry" message for almost every video, i think i am able to play some old ones which doesn't help me too much...

Root and flash a new rom on your device.

I'm on CM7 an got the same problem, it's driving me nutts, some videos (rare ones) play normally, and the majority gets their gorgeous black screen with soundtrack :(
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] -Howard-:
Turn off HQ and video should work
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Dis86:
Already did, no change.. I even tried changing the VM heap size and nothing
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] luunatiq:
i had the same problem , i've rebooted my phone with cm 7.0.3 for two times and then it worked normally
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Scratch0805:
I used to get this problem all the time, i suspect it may have something to do with signal strength and possibly a few other things as when i was at work using wifi it never worked but if i switched to 3G it would work perfectly....... and when i was at home it wouldn't work with 3G but would on my home wifi network.............

since i rooted and installed cm7 though, slightly overclocked and keep the memory clean and it seems to work perfectly on both 3G and wifi for me now!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] muzab a:
Youtube format

to clarify

any youtuve video after 2010 will not work on HQ (try this yourselfs)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] :
Go to settings, disable hq quality of videos and u should be fine.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] swotr:
I've done this and the videos still try to load in HQ. I have to click the HQ button on the actual video so that it doesn't load in HQ. Any way I can get it to never load in HQ? That's the only way my videos are loading.

[Captivate General] jay.adey036:
Hey Guys, I'm a little bit of a noob here. I have had my captivate for about 6 months now and I started to get a little frustrated with the way the Captivate was set up compared to my old HTC Hero. I didn't have to root the Hero and could do anything with it I wanted. With the captivate it was another story. I rooted the new Captivate and it has been a wild ride. I follow the forums to see what is available after having Super User installed. I have to say I went a little crazy into the exploration of what i can and cant do. I learned what I cant do the hard way and spent almost 3 day's having problems with odin3 one touch flasher. Once i got everything back running to factory settings I decided to just set up the phone the way I like it and updated the config. for example I added the root access and updated the settings.db file to allow 3rd party apk installs. I than also deleted the wealth of useless crap At&T Preloaded onto the OS such as the apps and the 20 AT&T contacts. Fortunately now my phone and layout is exactly to where I want it. Unfortunately now I am afraid to perform other root mods on the phone and have to re flash the original factory settings on it and have to set it up all over again. I am not much of a programmer but do know end user support very well and was hoping that there would be a way to create a backup of the root directory so that in case I brick my phone (happend twice when I tried to replace the launcher program) I can just flash my backup so that I don't have to install apps, configure settings, and adjust the layout all over again? I was thinking of creating an update.zip would do it that i could keep on my sd card and flash it from recovery.

Can Somebody please Help!!!

Thanks,

Jay
[Captivate General] fatbas202:
Generally speaking, unless you use the same ROM, it is a bad idea to restore system settings.

Check out Titanium Backup from the Market. It works really well at backing up apps, data, and system data. Be sure to get the donate version so you don't have to manually install every single app (huge time/effort saver). It won't give you an update.zip file, but if you reinstall it and point it at it's backup folder, it can restore all of your data with minimal effort.

If you are prone to bricking your phone, back it up to an external SD card by entering "/<external sd>/Titanium Backup" as the backup path, replacing <external sd> with the real path (it's different on 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs).

Good luck.
[Captivate General] jay.adey036:
Thanks, I actually already have Titanium Backup lite and i backed it up using the batch Backup all user apps + System Data but have no idea how to restore these backups if my phone bricks. I dont necessarily want to flash the phone to try it out. Any chance you know of where i can find out a little bit more information on how to restore backups with this app?
[Captivate General] jay.adey036:
I also have the ClockworkMod Recovery where i have backed up my phone to an SD card. It says during the process Backing up system, data, datadata and than generates an md5sum. After this the phone boots back up and I was wondering if recovering using ClockworkMod is the same as flashing an update.zip rom but instead of using the stock version? Also this app seems a lot easier to use at there is an option to reboot into recovery and select roms
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
Running CM6.1 RC2 currently.

Not sure if exchange is possible to get running or not but here's my situation:

Company has firewall and domain. I have VPN access. The exchange server requires you to be on the VPN to access it since it's behind the firewall.

I can connect to the VPN just fine but when setting up exchange info it errors out in the final steps and it cannot retreive anything. Does exchange support only work for servers not behind a firewall? I'm guessing the VPN access is throwing it off.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mr.Kakarot:
So long story short... I had an iphone 4 and an ipad... now I am on a desire hd... and considering the android tablet...

Both me and my wife are on rogers (captive, dhd). Can we just take out our sim card and put it in the tab and have 3g?

Is there anyone here that went from the ipad to the galaxy tab? If so, any regrets? I do like having the best of both worlds.... but apple bores me.... I would be rooting the device....

any screen/body protectors that anyone can recommend?

now I am going to read some of these threads, thx!
[Galaxy Tab General] utrx:
The Tab uses a regular sim, not micro like the iphome 4. So yeah u should be able to use a regular sim.

I like the tabs flexibility over the ipad. Not tied to itunes. Can play any video. Full free office suite........

I have am ipod touch, so i get my app store fix from that when i need it.
[Galaxy Tab General] murderinc:
I too went from an Ipad to the Samsung Galaxy, so far I love it!

The Ipad is to bulky to really take with you most places. Might as well bring a netbook at that point. Even jailbroken the Ipad lacks much of what I really wanted from a tablet. I sold my Ipad and picked up the Tmobile version of the Galaxy, couldnt be happier. The main things that really kill the Ipad are, the ability to root and make the device "yours", the size, NO ITUNES!, numerous media formats, did I mention NO ITUNES!, and the hope that we will be able to use the voice with 3g data.

The way Android is starting to take over the market share (on phones) it wont be long and there will be tons of exciting apps for these tabs.

Give these guys here a little time and they will have voice and 3g working on the Tmobile tab. (ATT tab is already working)

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab General] Mr.Kakarot:
it does thanks....

I will probably get it tomorrow... I do like the ipads size though....
[Galaxy Tab General] Mr.Kakarot:
To get voice working, do you need a headset? What software would Samsung use for video calls? Thx

I use skyfire browser on my mini and it plays flash video's fine.. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on your device.. :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] robsaw:
It works with skyfire because that browser routes traffic through its own servers that pre-render flash and assorted other things before delivering it to the browser.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gorunn:
Correct me if im wrong, but isnt a flash player one of main highlights of Froyo update (android 2.2)?

But since SE stated that there will be no Froyo update to x8 and x10 series, yea.. no flash for now, but not due to processor or model support.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] axy_david:

Just let me know..

Megavideo.com if it works does it also bypass the 72 min limit?

Animefreak.tv they have lots of embed vids tryit please and tell me which hosts work

and also an extra question does skyfire work with embed vids

and is the quality of the video good? Cause when I tried youtube the quality was very bad
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
Skyfire is lame. Can't really compare with real flash.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kiwiBratwurst:
well.. there ya go, I couldn't get either of these sites playing video on Skyfire.. the first one kept going to a online games site (of course flash games are not going to work)

and the second one didn't load the videos..

Of course the sites I tend to use are mostly News sites with short flash video clips and they all seem to work.

So.. sorry to say I don't think you are going to get much Joy from Skyfire.. even though it works fine for me.. :o

Sorry I couldn't help.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gorunn:
Sorry, you didnt understand me right ( or i havent say it properly)

Main issue is that our bootloaders are locked, and since SE stated that there will be no Froyo for us, its not just the matter of hardware compatibility its firmware compatibility too.. But i reded somewhere that ppl manage to make it work on 2.1 phones, i even found few cases where they manage to make it work on x10 Eclair.

Read this... I personally didnt tryed, but just to say:

Adobe Flash Player for Xperia x10
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
Skyfire 3 is a full html 5 browser, how else do you think you're able to watch video?? All skyfire does is play H.264 formatted video which is accessed via cloud servers throughout the world.

Flash, on the other hand, is a completely self contained program based on an object oriented language called ActionScript. Therefore, anything developed in Flash must be played by Flash. This is why browsers have Java based plugins to handle Flash content, but unfortunately Adobe have developed the program to run on certain hardware only, for example an A8 processor.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] axy_david:
i agree the divx videos are working

also veehd is working but i need the plugin in order to watch more then 5 min

but anyway ALL DIVX VIDS ARE WORKING

....

anf our phone will not be likely sble to play flashvideos lagless

however i hope that grooveshark works :)

its almost fully html5 but they are still using flash for sound and logging in

so i have been looking around a lot for a decent yet solid case for my evo..js love the device...i have my mind on the otterbox commuter as of now...but i will wait for ballistic HC to be released..looks freaking awesome IMO.

but my serious concern is ..doesnt the phone get heated up like hell when u have such thick layers of protection over it ?

i remember when my first gen iphones commboard got burnt due to overheating of the device js because i kept it in a thick leather case

i cant afford to do the same for my evo....so u guys who are already using commuter..defender or rugged or plannnig to go in for the Ballistic for that matter...do u see any heating realted issues in the phone...?? does ur phone cool like it will normally do without the case on ?

Pour in your experiences !
[EVO 4G Accessories] durandetto:
So far with my Rugged I haven't had any issues. At least no more than I had before I put a case on it. If anything it might insulate the phone from body heat.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
I also have the Seidio Rugged and have had 0 issues with heat. Even when under heavy use, or online gaming when the battery heats up, it is no worse than before. So no worries for you, buy the case you want and enjoy it...
[EVO 4G Accessories] edlex:
I own both the rugged and the defender and have seen no upward change in temperature. I use systempanel to monitor the temp. I'll be getting the ballistic case as soon as it comes out so I can see if there is any difference with it as well, although I doubt it. I guess since these cases are not waterproof type sealed they still allow for heat to escape.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
The temp is the one thing that didn't suck about the Seidio Rugged.
[EVO 4G Accessories] techspark:
Thanx every1 for the useful input :)... gonna go ahead and grab the commuter..:)

yeah they arent sealed but very tightly packed so i thaught they may lead to certain heat related issues(as far as i know silicon and plastic both are bad condutors of heat..so they dont allow the heat to come out of the handset..and so handset cannot pass heat thru the covers and thereby resulting in improper cooling....right?)...may be these issues are not noticable at first..but in the long run u neva know ?

[HD7 General] MartyLK:
Excellent news! This is exactly what the market needs to hear. People who are upset by the initial release and believe it is all WP7 would ever be will be able to ease up a bit on the nay-saying.

The forces opposed to WP7 will be active all the way to the release of the update. They will actually be even more pronounced because of this information. So I hope MS does impress. Because if they don't, the system will suffer massively because of the heightened opposition.
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
Great news indeed :D

Hope to see this for real in January.
[HD7 General] emorej:
no one can exactly says that wp7 is selling poorly in the market,, i read an article that android is outselling wp7 by ratio of 15:1, and by symbian at 3:1.. but this is only on their stores or he maybe a android fanboy!

i am monitoring a facebook page of windows phone 7, the first day i monitored it there where 250,000 plus people who like it that was 3 weeks ago and now it grows to 500,000 plus likes, from this we can see that windows phone 7 is getting lots of user or maybe people are liking it and waiting to get their own in the future.
[HD7 General] alabij:
I don't think your comment is fair. I've been using MS products since MS DOS 2.0 right up till Windows 7. Never missed a release. Likewise the same with Windows Mobile or Pocket PC 2000 as it may be and as you can see from my sig.

All that being said WP7 was abysmal for a 1.0 release. It's nothing to do with nay-sayers. They released a great OS with too missing out of the box. This update if it comes to fruition would prove those 'nay sayers' as you called them right. In fact we may need to thank them because if MS went with people like you (no offense intended) who thought it was a great 1.0 release we may never get that update.
[HD7 General] efjay:
What exactly makes WP7 in its current state "abysmal"? And MartyLK's statement is spot on, WP7's detractors focused solely on the missing features and completely ignored the things WP7 does well OOB compared to other OS's, like multimedia playback, Office, gaming, new UI that doesnt clone the alternatives and dont forget making phone calls (which some high profile phones struggled to do when they were released). So where exactly is the "abysmal" part of WP7?
[HD7 General] alabij:
LOL! You seem to have answered your own question buddy. You've got to understand that no one is calling WM crap; nor am I comparing it to other OS's. I'm actually comparing it to PPCPE; the first generation.

If you feel WP7 is better compared to other OS's then you are probably right. My 2nd cellphone that I owned in 2001 was the Pocket PC phone Edition. Even that iteration had more functionality and features than WP7.

What people are upset about is not the promising factor of WP7; its going to be a great OS no doubt about it but that doesn't elude the fact that significant features were held back till an 'update'.
[HD7 General] efjay:
Whatever its compared to, PPCPE, android or ios I dont see how adding features later in its life cycle makes it so abhorrent. Doesnt account for your statement that its "abysmal". Lets not forget, previous versions of WM were feature packed but for various reasons performed poorly so they are hardly a model to compare to WP7 which seeks to put performance first.
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
You must be one of the few who never kept up with the news about WP7 from before it was released. It was widely known that the features absent currently would not be in the release version. I knew that and a great many knew that. I also know that what WP7 is currently is pure quality. I also expect future features for it, as well.

The ppl who are crying and moaning that WP7 is short-lived and bad because of the lack of these features are the ones that are referenced. They have zero excuse for saying what they say, if they are in-the-know. They are vocal and heard. How is it possible when someone like myself, who is nothing in the industry knows more than the ones who are centered in the industry? How is it possible that I and the multitude of XDA'ers know these features would be missing in the release version and they do not know that?
