[Q] YouTube app broken - "There was a problem with the network [500]" - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After one of the recent updates to the youtube app, I haven't been able to watch any videos. No matter what I do in the app, I always get the error "There was a problem with the network [500]" and the loading icon just spins forever. This happens on launch, when searching, and when being linked in from outside the app.
I've gotten this error before on older versions of the app, but it never prevented me from using the app. I have a feeling it has to do with my youtube account/email associated with my google account being suspended (happened years ago for uploading clips from a concert I went to, which is BS since youtube is full of them now).
Anyways, does anyone know what I can do to make the app work again? Is there a way to add an alternate youtube account? The "sign in" option does not allow me to specify an email.
I'm using a Nexus 7 on 4.2 and a Razr Maxx on 4.1.2 and Youtube app version 4.2.16

Figured out how to associate the app with a different account. Add another google account to your device, then clear data for the youtube app (or un/reinstall if it's not a system app). Launch the app and it will let you select which account to use.

Works perfectly

[Q] Facebook App

Instead of setting up facebook as part of motoblur, I simply wanted to install facebook app and let it sync with my contacts like I had it on Nexus One.
However, when I go into accounts, I see 2 facebook icons, one as part of motoblur and other under "Other accounts".
Only the motoblur facebook account setup works, the other one does absolutely nothing. Tapping on it yields no results.
Is this intended behavior or am I missing something?
Don't know much about this yet. I'm currently using the installed app that's on the Atrix, will let you know more further, just bought the phone last nite.
Alright, thanks.
Im not sure whether yours has a problem or not but I've been using the Android app since day one and it has worked fine. I haven't used the motoblur facebook but I imagine it's not too different.
I just didn't like how the motoblur facebook app synced and the regular facebook app doesnt set up appropriately. I guess I'll try uninstalling and going it again.
Did you stated you installed the actual facebook app? and setup the atrix facebook app before hand?
ok I just installed the FACEBOOK APP THROUGH ANDROID MARKET, tried to SIGN IN, and stated "AN ERROR OCCURED......" but when i signed in a few times, it let me in, it could be a server issues, but I'm in and working. Try to sign in a couple times.

Did that, it worked, but now it doesn't show up under my accounts within settings. This is definitely broken.
Yea that is broken then, try to uninstall and reinstall the program.

"Automatically sign in" is for signing i automatically when the fone starts or when connectivity is established.
it is not like a desktop application since the app is linked to the gmail account on your fone.
alternatively you can choose nimbuzz as an IM client if you dont want to sign in always with the same credentials..
The one thing I was trying to do was make it so it doesn't show that I am always available. No matter if I log out or kill the app it always shows that I am available on gtalk.
Is there a solution to this?
Have you considered meebo or another app instead of using talk? I don't use chat apps but it might do what you are looking for.
I use ebuddy, but that is besides the point.
Here is the thing- since the gtalk is set up with the original google account (the one when you originally set up the phone) it does not let you delete that account off gtalk. But on top of that, no matter what I do i.e. sign out or kill the gtalk app (and even if it shows gtalk is not running), it always shows that I am available and never truly logs me out.
So with the original google account on the phone, I am now always available on gtalk and I can never log out- just really bothers me. Anyone have solution?
Thanks
Looks like the always available is an ongoing problem, I haven't found a solution yet...

Got it so ebuddy is no longer holding my gtalk hostage (I no longer show always available). I used the solution at the end of this forum:

[Q] Play Store/Account help

So I have an odd issue with the Play Store. I have 2 Google accounts. The main one I use does not show my apps in the market, in fact it shows nothing. When I try to download any apps, I get error code 927. The only way I can download an app through that account is using the web page to push the file to my phone. I added my other Google account to my phone and can download any and every file with no problems (except my purchased apps on my main account). Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried numerous ROMs and Android versions but I don't know what else to try.
I also have a Nexus 7 at home and it is having the same issue (927) on my main account as well.
EDIT: fixed it. Download Manager was being buggy. Force stop/clear cache/clear data in the app did the trick on both devices.

[Q] Play Store still shown as Market

Hey guys,
I got an HTC Jetstream as a gift recently and its lovely! I was successfully able to connect it to my WiFi and browse the internet and stuff but for some reason the Play Store is not available. It still has the old "Market" app which does not connect to the internet even if I put in my Google ID and password.
It comes back with an error stating my Internet connection is not reliable. However, I am able to download stuff and video HD quality YouTube videos. I am not able to log in to any Google apps as well.
What seems to be the problem?

Does it let you log into a Google service (i.e. Gmail) via a browser on the Jestream? If not then you might want to troubleshoot using Google Dashboard on a different computer.
Otherwise, this might be a time when performing a factory reset fixes things. Is losing all of your data acceptable?
Search google: google play apk download. Install the latest market app.

Sonic Sender Alternative (Whatsapp Auto sender)

Hi,
I bought Sonic Sender and due to some changes in Google policy, App Developer has to taken down the app from Google Play Store. This app is very useful since it send automatically message oon whatsapp to selected contacts (For example I need to send New Year Wishes to 400 people out of my 700 whatsapp contact). I have to choose contact, select media and text and click on Send. It send automaticllay one by one to selected whatsapp contact and thus saving my time. I was using the app even after removing from play store but yesterday due to some reason I uninstalled and reinstalled app. App Version 2.0.6 which is readily available on many website crashes after opening of app (I guess due to non-availability of same on Play Store) and Version 2.1.1 stuck with Google Login and when I select account it throw error Failed to Authenticate.
Can any one help me getting the app working again or can some one suggest me any alternative to said app.
Thanks in Advance....
