YouTube app - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone one on the stock GB ROM (2.3.4) been experiencing problems with YouTube? App version is also 2.3.4 and this just happened 2 nights ago. The story goes: was watching some videos answer after a short while of browsing the app force closed and now everytime I try to launch the app it launches the system settings instead. It does this when I click on it from the home screen or the app tray, I have already uninstalled all updates and prior to doing so I wiped all the app cache. After re-installing all updates it is still experiencing the same issue. The only way I can launch the app is to use my browser and find a video I would like to watch, upon launching said video I have the option to tell it to open in the YouTube app.

Are you rooted? If so uninstall all youtube updates, then use a file explorer to go to /system/app, and delete the youtube apk. Then go to /data/data/ and delete the com.google.android.youtube folder. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache and then reboot. Once booted install the youtube app from the market again.

Sure am, I'll give it a shot. I'll post the results. Thanks for the reply!

Had to install root explorer but I got root access and deleted the files. Dinc kept restarting and the files would automatically be restored, didn't get as far as wiping dalvik cache because I wasn't able to get into recovery for some reason until reflashing using rommanager. I did re-install the updates and now it is working again.

[Q] Market Problem

I am having a problem with the Android Market. When I download an app from the market it will download just fine but then once it is downloaded, the app is not installed.
I am rooted, running SkyRaider 3.0 (Vanilla) please help.
Thanks.
cleat cache, restart app¿

It's a common issue with Froyo on the Incredible. If clearing the cache doesn't work for you (didn't for me), you'll just have to cancel the download and restart it for the problematic app. It can be annoying, but at times it will take ten or so attempts for a successful download and install. Also, be advised that it's dumping a series of download.apk files into your downloads folder.
Man this market thing is annoying, I cleared cache and nothing... after the download, it just stays at 100%, the file does download and can be installed with astro...just select the .apk

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked

Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped

Downloading from android market question (easily the weirdest problem you'll see)

Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian
Any other apps not working?

Everything else works fine.
Have you tried fixing permissions?

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.
Did you download the Google apps zip with cm and flash it too? You never mentioned that part. Might be the problem

Mildwild and Google Play Store

Hi all
I've installed Mildwild on my desire and I'm loving the rom.
Only problem is that the play store app crashes every time, think its a force close error but it disappears so fast I can't see it properly.
Any ideas?
Have tried some modded play store apks and the original a couple of times. When I install them they work for a few minutes then the error occurs again.
Its a strange one and I'm stumped!

Have you tried uninstalling updates and clearing the cache? This method worked for me.

Which cache would I be clearing here?
Will uninstall everything related to play store and try again.
Thanks again.

By uninstalling updates I meant for the Google play app not the apps downloaded from the play store. Clear the cache and uninstall updates through Settings > Applications > Manage applications ( or something similar ) and tap Google play.

Check the attached images if you need help. Currently I'm running ICS but it should be similar.

Hey, I've got the exact same problem with the current MildWild 4.4.
I'm doing a completely fresh install, partitioned the sdcard with 4ext (newest version), did the factory reset + cache/dalvik wipe, flashed MildWild, linked my google account..aaaaaaaand.. play store crashes. Undoing the update + deleting cache didn't help, sadly.
I've read about installing the 3.7.11 version and downloaded it, but I can't just install it regularly and am not sure how to do it via adb or anything :/
edit: Nevermind, got it. Turns out root explorer isn't as scary as i thought

YouTube help!

I switched ROMs from AOKP to AOSPTW or whatever its called. YouTube in the market said it couldn't update because the file was signed incorrectly or something. I uninstalled YouTube using titanium backup and now Google play says "incompatible update" or something. When I try to restore my backup it keeps going and never restores. Any help in getting YouTube back without having to flash anything, or reflash anything?
Use a file browser, open up the ROM zip, navigate thru the files until you get to the system/apps, copy the you tube all and paste it into your system/apps. Make sure you fix the permissions. Reboot and you'll have it back. It was purposely signed the way it was to make it work with the ROM. If you read his thread he explains it several times. Or, you can reflash the ROM wiping only dalvic and cache.
