Youtube App doesn't work for me (Sprint + MR)

supdawg · #1 (**permalink**) 11-06-2009, 12:00 AM

Need some help. I cannot get the Youtube app to work. I open the app, it downloads the thumbnails of videos like normally, but when I click on a video to play it, it loads for 5 seconds and then pops up with Error, This video cannot be played.

Also, when I open up a youtube video via opera, it opens the streaming media player, but it gives me an error as well "failed to connect".

Sprint by the way... Firist time trying the youtube app. Been running this rom since day 1.

Anyone got any ideas?

I know it should work. For some reason it is not. Just trying to figure out why before I hard reset as a last resort.

sae thing happenned to me to. I figured out that youtube stopped working after i ran the sim unlocker. Luckily i did a spb backup beforehand. I just did a hardreset and restored and youtube works again.

I've never ran the sim unlocker, just the HSPL. I guess when the next mighty rom is released, I'll check everything before I starting going bonkers installing stuff.

don't install anything else.. it will work eventually... it happens randomly.. maybe service interuptions? doesn't make sense.. but if you give it a few hours.. it will work.

I've been trying it now for hours. I'll continue to try, but I don't think it will work.

Downloaded the app.... Good news is that it works...

Bad news - That app sucks compared to the one that comes with the phone. The quality of the videos are terrible and the GUI is severely lacking.

Any other ideas?

if ur on stock rom go to upgrade section and flash the stock sprint rom. that did the fix for me. had same thing happen to mine right out of box. i feel that the stock rom i flashed off here is snappy and less buggy then the one that came out of box. weird yes true indeed. give it a try !!
