YouTube problems - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

OK I've been having YouTube problems for the last 3days, either its plays the video slow or I get errors when i try to play a video at time. I look at the market to see if there any updates and there's no YouTube app on the market. My phone is not rooted yet and I have full signal too. I was going to do a hard reset to the phone to see if that help, but I was wanted what you guys thought first.

A reset might work. I would recommend updating your profile and your PRL in settings > about phone > system updates.
Or, try going into settings > applications > manage applications> go under the "all" tab > find YouTube and click "Clear Cache"
Let me know if it works!

Yeah I just found out that youtube is not compatible with out e4gt

That's odd? I have a E4GT and I have no troubles with youtube, except occasionally when I flash a new ROM it won't load videos until I update my modem and flash the ROM again.
**update your flash player if you haven't done so
I have Youtube 2.3.4 installed on my Epic Touch, if you don't have that version here it is:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.youtube&feature=apps_topselling_free
I attatched some pictures of it running on my Epic Touch, you can see in one that the video is loading, but you can't see the image because it is a screenshot and the video is Flash based.

This is what I got when I look on the android market with the link you provided

It might take me a while to find a solution, just know that I'm still looking for one.

You have to download the Youtube apk separately and just install it, http://www.mediafire.com/?sbuttqtx8xi74f2

I have the 2.3.4 apk hosted on mediafire, but I uninstalled my YouTube 2.3.4 and tried to install from the one I hosted and it said install failed.
I think it may have to be flashed through a zip as a system file or installed through something like AC-SWM or Droid Explorer.
I couldn't get either of those programs to detect my E4GT though, I went trough a bunch of drivers too, including those from Kies.

I got YouTube updated and working. Here's a link for anybody else having the issues with YouTube:

Hulu on stock 2.2

I installed the mod for hulu from the skyraider extras on Rom manager and it doesn't work. Any ideas why?

because you posted it the wrong section...
Hmm seems like if its not working it will take development to fix it. Seems like the perfect place but thanks for your input.

I've been searching this one for a while and here is what i've gathered...
you must be deoxed (which skyraider is) and obviously you you need 2.2 and flash 10.1, the Nexus one can do it
Whambam I've got it! You don't need to be deoxed and all that jazz. To use the hulu app you will need the modified version of flash. But to watch on the browser you can use the newest version of flash.
Step 1. Open the browser app
Step 2. Clear the url and type "about:debug" then press go (if you did it right nothing will happen)
Step 3. Press menu>more>settings
Step 4. Scroll down UAString then select" desktop"
Tada!!!!

Wisenick,
Doesn't work. I tried that change and went to hulu.com and tried to watch a video and the embedded player on the site says that the browser is not supported.
I'm running the stock 2.2 os (4 day old Incredible and no root).

try using these apps
If your still having issues running Hulu on Skyraider, run the 3.1 patch. If you ran it, do it again. Fixed it for me...
I am running stock 2.2 as well with no root. I downloaded that Hulu pack, tried to watch a TV episode and it said platform not supported. I then tried to install that modified Flash install file and it said that it would not install. I am currently running 10.1.95.2.

HULU+ apk

Yippee!
Install this sucka and enjoy your HULU PLUS account as you should on your device, trouble free.
If you do have trouble with the never-ending buffer, as shown in attached pic, unblock ads via host files.
Just open up Adfree and click revert. And there go you ;] took me a day to figure that out hehe.

Credit goes to jase33 for this Titanium Backup method if the apk does not work for you. Just extract into the Tianium Backup folder and restore =]

Correct, TB needs root to operate. If you want the best way to root, completely stock with root, and keeping your own kernel,

I'm rooted and have super user running but it says not installed also. What am I doing wrong?

Got it to work. The Hulu.apk did not install. If you have super user installed and Titanium working properly then do the following:
Extract the 3 files in Hulu Backup-1.zip to the location of your Titanum back ups and then restore.
I had to use the task killer to kill titanium, it was stuck in the restoring screen. Hulu is working like a charm!

Yup, just extract the files into the titanium backup folder in your SD and search for it inside Titanium.
I got it launch the app after using the restore method. However, when I try to watch anything it says buffering and then after a bit it says that I am having network issues eventhough I am connected via my wifi and browsing hulu to find the show I want to watch. Any ideas how to fix this?

The restore method worked perfect for me also. The buffering is caused by the ad block on your phone. You will need to delete the hosts file in system/etc.
Do you need a certain rom?? I can't download it from my phone and I downloaded it to my computer end then to my phone and can't do, any thing from thst either....

Hmm fresh wipe of what, data/cache/dalvik? Even if you had adfree before, blocking ads, it would still be blocked without having the app because the host file is in /system so anything short of factory reset/Odin wouldn't change this.
Download again adfree and press revert.

tried the apk from that thread.... made some progress, now i can watch movies that have no commercials. oddly enough, tv shows will play the commercials and then crap out when it comes time to load the video.
I had a stock hulu apk working with a stock/rooted rom, no such luck after moving to a custom rom.
Wait, I thought I flashed the landscape version, reverted ad free and it was working...let me double check

so an update in case anyone is wondering. After clearing cache/reflashing the bare 2.8.1 calks rom i installed the stock apk (from the link I posted above) and it works fine now.

[Q] adobe flash

everytime I try to play a video on espn or anywhere ofr that matter, it keeps coming up, unable to play..do I have to change settings on this somehow? I am currently using calk's el029 v2.9.2, please help..
They may be incompatible as flash development has ended for mobile phones....everything is heading to html5
Edit ... I just checked and mine played fine so it may be your ROM or need to update flash etc... I am on ics viper

Having some issues with last three updates of task aokp

I can't seem to get Google now to work anymore. It keeps crashing as soon as I give it a voice command.
For some reason now, it seems like my phone lost compatibility with lots of apps. I can't update top the latest versions of the apps and download apps directly through playstore app. On my laptop, the playstore site says the apps are compatible and "downloading" but I get nothing on my phone.
I ve done a clean install of the latest update and cleared data for the individual apps that I've had problems with but I'm still not seeing any changes.
Any idea what's going on here? Is this something everyone else is experiencing?
(Didn't want to post this in the Rom thread since these issues are not just about the Rom, i think)

I've been running his ROM for a long time and never experienced this issue... It might be your play store or gapps. I would download and flash his gapps again see if that fixes it.

Are you using a different dpi?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
It's the gapps that you flashed.. he posted an earlier build shortly after which fixed the issue (just have to update Google Search app in the Play Store). This was posted in the OP.
I'd probably fully wipe but at least system and both caches and reflash the latest ROM and gapps posted.

I am. I changed it by editing the build.prop file. but even if i change it back to normal dpi, i still have the same issues. i just did a clean install of 5.5.13b update and still having same issues. im back at normal dpi.
is there a way to fix this?
explain clean install. i would recommend wiping data cache, dalvik, & formatting /system, /data & /media then flashing ROM/gapps. completely fresh start. what recovery do you use and what device was the version for (d2att, etc)?

clear data from play store and google services framework after reverting to stock dpi. then find a multidpi play store and flash it. then you can freely change the dpi.

You can try to install the apk file (HERE)
Or you can uninstall Youtube with a root uninstaller or with Titanium Backup then you install the apk file or download from Play Store.
Just after posting this question, I did one more search on the forum and most of treads orients to remove the youtube.apk
As my note 2 is rooted, I deleted the apk from /system/app. After that I tried to install from google play and got an different error.
So I restarted the device and then It could be installed from google play.
So I had no chance to test your link. But thank you anyway.
If someone is facing the same problem I was, try downloading the apk Primokorn posted and tell us your results.
