"error - connection failed"

Started getting this message while trying to play videos through the youtube app after flashing with Juggalo's ROM.

Web browsing isnt a problem.. Any ideas?

After soft-resetting the device a few times the youtube app seems to be connecting as it should.

When I connect my phone to my PC, it can download videos fine, and then when I pull out the USB, it still continues to buffer.

But if I try to play a video from scratch without being connected to my PC I get that darn error.

Hmm..

It's you, your service or your phone. I have Juggalo's most recent rom and my Youtube works just fine..well as fine as it always had with no connection errors.

I understand its me. I was just hoping someone would have some troubleshooting tips that would help resolve, or even isolate the problem.

Thanks.

Edit: After a few soft-resets the youtube app seems to be buffering on its own again.

Sorry, guess I misunderstood both of your posts. It's probably a Sprint problem or your area. You could hard reset to make sure the flash went well. I would check those first.
