youtube not working since updating to jelly bean - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

I updated my l9 to the official Indian jelly bean few days back and since then youtube app fails to play any videos over wifi. Wifi and internet otherwise works perfectly fine on the device. Even in the youtube app I can search, look up videos within my subscriptions fine , just can't play anything over wifi. I get the error - "problem while playing touch to retry". Works fine over 3G though.
I have rebooted the phone and wifi modem/router multiple times which didn't help. I also uninstalled all the updates for the youtube app still no help. Reinstalled the youtube updates still same problem
Has anyone else faced similar problem since updating to jelly bean?

Try doing a "Force stop" on the app, "Clear data" and "Clear cache".

Are you rooted? If yes, XDA will help, if no LG Service Center will help.

I haven't rooted my phone yet. The only reason I am reluctant to contact lg service center because I think they may not consider this as a phone/device problem. But I will try that eventually.
I feel if I could reinstall the youtube app it might help but then I'm not rooted and this app came pre-installed.
is there a way to remove pre-installed apps without rooting?

As I always say, XDA is not for lion-hearted people. Others should not even come here. :laugh: I am not rough and tough user and take good care of my phone, therefore I dont care about LG's warranty and thats because I am here on XDA.
Even if anything happens to my phone in future, I will take it as bad-luck, but till then my phone will live life to the fullest. :angel:
You can update YT, if it shows Update button. Otherwise No, if not rooted.

Same problem here. Literally tried everything. I'm gonna root the phone tomorrow and try removing with Ti Backup and installing separately. Hope that works...

Anyone found a solution? I have literally tried everything from flashing numerous times to contacting LG 5 times, changing WiFi settings, etc.
However, for me YouTube works on ICS and CM10.1. But ICS is too old for me so I'm forced to be on 20A. Roms from other regions don't work too. So hopefully LG will release an update soon or CM gets stable.

Well if the YouTube app isn't working. I quick fix would be to install Adobe flash player and use naked Brower, dolphin Brower or other non stock Brower. And view the page in desktop mode (YouTube.com)
Use this link to get the latest flash player

I just tried it and it worked fine with naked browser.

youtube is working again over wifi on my p765. I have been using the default router+modem(huwaei) provided by my ISP for last 7 years. Since it was an old model (54mbps, only b/g) I was planning to get a new one and finally I bought and configured the d-link 2750U and youtube started working again.
I still can't figure out what exactly made the difference because the old router was working perfectly fine all these years with various devices including my p765 before the jb update.
Anyways, alls well that ends well

So the router doesn't like jelly bean. We bought this router almost a year back. I think there's an old configuration which ICS and Cm are okay with but not stock jb. Thanks for updating.

i too am having issues with youtube on jb. I have tried reinstalling the app several times, deleting data and cache, wiping dalvik cache etc and it still doesnt work right. It doesn't work at all with wifi and when streaming with my mobile connection videos buffer and just stop loading. im rooted and have the tmobile variant if anyone has any ideas were to go from here that would be great

I'm gonna try something soon, will report back if it works out.

So has it been like this from the beginning or it just happened? Have you tried it through a browser? Download flash player and try it that way. I'll try to upload mine when I get a chance.
You might not what to hear this, but try flashing a freshly download 20d, or flash the v21d

Android app market not working?

What the hell... just tried opening up the android market app and I get an application error.

Full battery. 3G/4G internet works fine. All other apps working fine.
Also tried clearing the Market app Cache.
I keep getting "Attention: an error has occurred. Please try again later."

How do I update it if I can't even open it?
I tried going to the Android market via the web browser, but it won't let me download anything since it will say "application error" again.
WTF... this is a stock phone with all updates applied. The app was working about a week or two ago...
Try clearing the data and cache then reboot and see if that helps.

Find an apk download for android market 3.3 here on XDA,.I'd post one but I'm away at work... Please wait a bit if you wish so I may post an app that let's you switch to new market without much hassle.
Edit: nvm.. can't upload it since it requires root I think a hard reset might be a choice to consider.

same here, it force closes after using whatever camera app (I used stock camera and Camera 360, both resulted to FCs). I'm suspecting that it's a ROM compatibility issue. Haven't tried it yet. I'm on MotoGinger II.
Anyone else having same problems on other ROMs?
it worked like charm for me

Google Now on Stock Rom.

Alright, following This Guide I got Google now working.
To summarize what I did
1. Root phone using the Korean Root method
2. I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM using Project FreeGee
3. I booted into CWM and installed This zip.At the I was writing this guide, I freegee was on version 0.5
4. My phone restarted and froze up about twice before finally staying booted. It seems to have normalized now.
edit:Right now most things seem to work.
If anyone finds a better version of Google now, please let me know and post the how-to.
I didn't make the zips and all I have done is follow the instructions and write down my personal experience. I give full credit to the author of the original post for their instructions/work they did. However, since the LGOG doesn't need project Butter, Google Now is the main thing we are missing from 4.1 and it should help ease the wait for a stable AOSP ROM. If anyone has any issues let me know and I'll make a list.

THis is great news. Right now I'm pondering whether to get this phone or the Note II, and Google now (which I have on my Captivate running SlimBean 3.0) is the one thing I really cannot imagine giving up.
Question: when you say that Calendar/settings alamrs don't work, do you mean that they don't work at all, or that they don't show up in Google Now?
I was referring to not working in Google now. Although i did manage to set an alarm with it shortly after this post.
Also fwiw I had the captivate too. I try to stick with nexus hardware.

Edit: Works most of the time but I also have issues launching links. I still have chrome and the stock browser installed, it will launch them I just have to click on them multiple times. I'm also occasionally having issues exiting to the home screen using either the home button or the back button.
Links can be a little stubborn for me but, usually open.

Uninstall stock voice search with titanium backup or you will get problems with android keyboard. It makes it try use them both for voice typing. I'd assume it may be the cause of any and all problems.
Edit: scratch that... Since installing Google now I get all kinds of freezing reboots. Caca. Then again it just be saying f u to nova launcher. Clearing cashes fixes it until it happens again.

One of the cards says there's an update available in the Play Store. When I go there it says my device is incompatible. Is there something we could tweak to the build.prop in order to get this update? Or will that mess things up due to the nature of how it was installed?

Skype :@

Hey guys since the day I bought my s3 it was from july .. till now skype never worked with me I mean I can open it but it never loggs in .. anyone has this issue I really need it to work . Thx guys ^^
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Skype works well for me, no problems at all - even while plugged into my TV via HDMI or on mobile network.
First check your account details by logging on at the Skype website, if you're using it on a mobile network try wifi - some carriers don't like you using it instead of their calls.
Next try clear the app data in app manager, if that doesn't help then uninstall and reinstall the whole app.
Failing all that you would have a problem with your particular phone, have you applied all the Samsung updates released in your country and not disabled any vital services? Return to a fully stock ROM, factory reset etc.
and keep in mind that Skype takes a painfully long time to load

Problem connecting to Google

My problem started yesterday, Play Store won't load anything just times out, maps won't load, can't even do a Google search, any other search engine such as Yahoo works. YouTube and Gmail work as well. It shows I am also connected with lte. I was on Omni ROM so I decided to Odin to stock. While on stock I checked to see if I could preform a google search and I could. Proceeded to load up an older version of Omni and it worked until I signed into my Google account. No matter if it is PAC ROM or Omni after I sign in, everything mentioned above stops working again.
Any suggestions?
Edit: Forgot to mention when I'm on WiFi everything works, even while signed into my Google account. Its only when connected to to Verizon network that the problem happens. I have already called Verizon and they said no problems in my area.

So far all AOSP Roms. I have tried omni, PAC, and cm11. Ran out of time last night so I will try Touchwiz tonight.
Edit: Another update. Still haven't been able to test out Touchwiz roms, but I have found that when I try to do speed test using either speedtest.net app or a no plugin based test in a browser upload test just sits there and does nothing. Download speeds are fine though. And yet I'm on mobile data right now and can obviously I can send out request to servers to get data. And send out data to update my post here.

Finally was able to try Touch wiz roms. They seem to continue to work. Looks like I will be stuck on Touchwiz. I even tried to flash another aosp after running Touchwiz for a bit and problem came back.
Just a bit of an update. After a month of running Alliance rom 26 I decided to give aosp rom another go, hate touchwiz. Now I didn't do anything different than I used to, but I'm happily on Omni rom again and everything is working. Still don't really know what the deal was. At one point during this past month my desktop computer stopped working with Google services just like my phone did, but I was able to restore it by flushing the dns cache.
