[Q] youtube wont work on stock hero gsm

Hi. I have 2 hero phones and a desire hd, so I love HTC. Anyhow my dad and wife use the hero phones and recently my wife complains that YouTube won't work. It says this video can't be played. Almost all videos are like this. My dads says he thinks his is the same but I will need to check.
The phones are not rooted and run 2.1. What can I do to fix this. All YouTube used to work fine when the hero was my own main phone. Would rooting and custom roms fix this.
Cheers des
Just a update. Videos older than about 1 year ago play fine, but newer than that won't play. I have installed tubemate and I can use that to watch newer videos, but it isn't as good to use as YouTube app. Also YouTube on the internet brings up a yellow ! when I try to play. Cheers.
Is this normal or am I missing something. Thanks guys.
It is because the new videos are played in HD. If you turn the phone to landscape, there is a HD button at the bottom. Press that and you'll be fine ... I hope ;-)

Ok I tried this on both the hero phones and still the same problem. I can't play videos less that about 1 year old. What am I doing wrong. Cheers
hix
same me
i sometime i can play on youtube, now,i cant use flash play video
No one can help us ?
Try running the videos through Flash from browser m.youtube.com not Youtube app
Normally these kind videos run if you un check HQ option in the landscape mode
Post the video URL here, we can check if it works with an updated rooted phone.
This works for me. Where you see the HQ thing shows up just tap on it and it works.

the (adb install YouTube_signed.apk) should be (adb install signed_YouTube.apk). Good luck.

[Q] YouTube App Lag?

When I use the Youtube app on my 3vo, it scrolls smoothly and all, until I begin playing a video on it. Once a video begins playing, when I try to switch tabs when holding the phone in portrait mode, the transitions suddenly become choppy and laggy, whether it be scrolling through comments, or pulling down the notification bar, the entire phone seems to lag once a Youtube video is playing, regardless of it being HD or not. Is anyone else having this issue or have a possible solution? Thanks (Stock ROM)
Maybe upgrade YouTube app.

I believe it already is the newest. 2.3.4 from the market. Do you think it could be a device issue? I've tried wiping 2 times, and the same issue is happening.
No its not device issue. What r u streaming YouTube videos 3/4g or WiFi??
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I use WiFi and 3G mainly, but I've experienced the issue regardless of the connection type, and also whether it be in HD or SD format.

Ok are you rooted? Have you cleared cache and data on the app??
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I am not rooted, I also cleared the data and cache as you suggested, but I have the same issue. I noticed that when I pause the video, however, it seems to respond faster.. Not as fast as no video playing, but a noticeable improvement over when the video is playing and I attempt to scroll.
I hate to be a downer but this phone does not handle a few things very well, namely the youtube app and it also is slow as hell when you get thousands of texts. I think this is a sense issue personally.
I thought Sense may be the cause to it. I'm not sure if other people are experiencing the issue though, whether it be that a custom ROM solves it or my device is just 'special'..

The problem you are experiencing is universal. Scrolling while watching a video causes lag in the youtube app.

Thank you. I thought it was just my device that did this, because there were no other threads which mentioned this, which I find strange because my old HeroC did it smoothly, and now the 3VO is struggling with it. Do you know if a custom ROM or kernel resolves this?
I have the same problem as well. When playing videos in the youtube app, I get a lot of lag.
I can actually navigate the desktop version of the youtube site with less lag than the youtube app.

I've experienced this problem on numerous ROMs. In regards to kernels, I don't even know. I doubt that a kernel will eliminate the lag, but I'm not one to say.
I am also getting this issue with both youtube and vevo app. When i play videos from my sd card with mx video player, they play flawlessly. So hopefully when ics comes out this problem is fixed.... :/

This is normal and I think it has been posted a few times. Basically it's the lack of gui hardware acceleration on Android gingerbread. If you try out an ICS rom you will see its smoother. Probably not as smooth as you like but smoother than it is on gingerbread.
Don't think its normal. YouTube works fine for me. HD and normal videos play without an issue. Upload and download works fine as well. I'm running SteelH's rom with Chads#50 kernel. Youtube has never giving me a problem in the app or VIA stock browser. So I don't think it has to do with the hard ware acceleration at all. My wife has my old hero and YouTube works fine for her as well. Also my sister and brother both have the EVO4g and youtube works fine for them. Have you guys tried a different version of the app ??? Like an older ver?? Or a newer one ??

I get this issue too, no way is it normal as this is the first phone I have used to have this strange behaviour.

Yeah its weird for me because all my movies and videos that are loaded onto my sd card work great. No lag or issues but when it comes time to YouTube or vevo and even vimeo.... It will lag or skip the video around the end or halfway but the sound keeps playing.. Very frustrating.

If you try the YouTube app on ics it works fine and no lag...
I wish I could go on ics.... But I use the camera and 4g a lot haha

This happened yesterday. But today,everything seems to be working fine. I didn't see the youtube app being updated today.
Very weird...
I have had some problems with YouTube app as well. Tried WiFi & 3G. Plus I get a lot of force close errors.

video lag in browsers

hi guys,
looked through the fora but could not find something maybe someone can help me out.
I have bad lag when i watch flashvideos in my browsers. all of them same lag. standardbrowser, skyfire, mozilla, dolphin.
Anyone with the same problem and even better anyone a solution?
Yeah I started thread couple week ago. It's in a q& a section. Unfortunately, there's no solution as of yet regarding video freezing but sound keep playing when streaming on network. Playing on wifi works fine.
One thing I found helps is restarting phone before starting Netflix for example or watching from browser.
Also note YouTube app does not suffer from this, so sometimes if it's a YouTube video embedded in the Page I just click on video link to be able to watch in the app instead of browser.

mine does the freezing on wifi too.so i am not the only one out there. i got to call samsung holland i guess. can not keep restarting the phone. but tell me what is this Jkay mod? can i do it on a non rooted phone?
Yes I'm also suffering this problem. On network or WiFi on all browsers. Pain in the arse!

Flash doesn't lag on the GS3. But it does freeze frequently. If it lags then very likely you aren't actually using flash but the html5 player instead.
Netflix app does not actually use nor is dependant on flash. Also uninstalling flash completely, so that videos that do play, default to html5, still freeze while sound keeps playing, which leads to conclusion that it's not flash issue.

Try ICS Browser+ from Google play...
Flash videos did lag for me initially, so I tried clearing the application data but that wasn't possible. So I installed flash 10, which was incompatible, then updated it using Google Play to flash 11 and it seems to work better now.

[Q] Can't watch any internet videos anymore, why?

I have an HTC Thunderbolt running Liquid Gingerbread v3.0 ROM version liquid.mecha.20111007.150023 with a kernal 2.6.35.14-imoseyon-4.1.2AOSP
My problem is that videos from the internet will no longer play, they used to play. I have tried both the stock browser and Dolphin browser to no avail.
Youtube videos in either browser will play audio but no video, just a black box. In the youtube app, no audio or video will load, just the spinning loading wheel.
In Vimeo I get vertical colored bars in both browsers with audio.
Videos from other sources either won't load or will play only audio with a black video box.
I had this problem a long time ago when I first installed this ROM. There was a Flash video fix I had downloaded from this forum that I can no longer find. Anyone know what I am talking about?
I fear I have installed a Flash video update that has broken video on my phone, that is the only theory I have. Please help, I would like to watch video again.

Yea this version of flash worked for me too when I was running liquid 3.2 gingerbread
Also jesman you should update to liquid 3.2 and imoseyon 6.2.1 kernel if your gonna run liquid
To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.
I claimed no credit for this post. Read it in a cyanogenmod forum credit goes to OneLikeSeaBass

Deleting the config.data file also seems to have the same effect. It rebuilds that after you delete so there are no I'll effects.

Ok, wow thanks guys for the feedback. I am going to give these a try later tonight and I will post back the results.
This forum is great!
The solution from heath2805 worked. Deleting the config file only fixed the youtube app. Thanks again!
