Youtube on TMO TP2 not working?

I have the right services but for some reason youtube has ceased to work on my TP2. Has anyone else experienced this? If so any fixes or suggestions?

Mine is working fine. I am assuming that your worked before and now its not working. Maybe try retracing your steps?. You might have installed something that broke it.

the only thing I've installed recently is the Midomi song recognition program... Would that of caused this issue?

on mine it didn't

Thats funny, I have installed Midomi, and noticed that if I go to youtube through it, when I click the links/pictures, nothing happens, if I go direct to youtube it still works. I had been meaning to post, but you beat me to it!

Sorry to go off topic, but is that the best software to identify a song when you don't know the name? What about Shazam?

Tried uninstalling Midomi but still can't access youtube

Sorry for the bump, but i was searching the forums to see if anyone else is having troubles with youtube.
Got my unlocked tp2 yesterday. None of my videos load. I'm connected through wifi. I can see the vidoes but when i click on them to play it just stays at the "connecting" screen and eventually says "connection failed". I've tried multple videos.
I have not installed any applications, this was not working right out the box.

hmm, slightly different here - my 'out of the box' tp2 on tmobile does the youtube app fine via wifi but not through the 3g connection - just comes up with 'no videos' found when doing the initial search.
Do I need a specific data package with TMobile for it to work?

Mine doesn't work with wifi or data. I tried both. It might be the application. I'll look for another one and let you know.
Is there a way to uninstall this one?

I have been having the exact problem with my AT&T Tilt 2. The pictures of the videos in the Youtube App show up fine, then when I try to play one it keeps saying 'Connecting...' then eventually after a minute or two throws up an error message that says that the 'Connection failed. Please try again.'. Has anyone else experienced this and/or fixed this.

My Telstra T7381 used to work just fine with YouTube videos on 3G, now it only shows "Connecting....." then stalls out after about 4-5 minutes with "Connection failed. Please try again." It was working on stock Telstra ROM, now not working with the Energy ROM in my sig. This only happens using 3G, not WiFi - with WiFi, videos load perfectly.
I tried watching very short videos, under 10 seconds or so, and they connect and play, so that would mean it has an issue with the video file and not an actual connection, right? I just loaded a 42 second video in NO time once it connected.... it showed "Connecting...." for a few seconds, then 0% then 92%, and the video started playing! Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the issue I have with videos that are 2:30, 4:10, etc - they just won't connect using 3G!
EDIT - here's a link that should help some people out on AT&T. THIS WORKS, follow the steps and get YouTube working again!!!

It's becuase the app doesn't know which connection to use for "The Internet" go to the connections tab and rename your ISP to "The Internet" that should do the trick.

YouTube stops playing on longer videos

I've had this issue on every touchwiz based rom I've run. I would guess that most of the time I can watch a video that's as long as about 2 minutes most times. If it's longer than that I'll usually make it about 50% of the way through the video. When I was running cm7 on this phone I didn't have the problem. I've tried searching bit my terms seem pretty vague and I can't really find anyone else having the problem, or any solutions.
Anyone else ever experience this kind of trouble with the YouTube app? I'm currently on the latest blazer rom but have also tried Caulkilins (I never know how to spell it or pronounce it...but you know which rom I mean ;-) )
Thanks

Had this problem with the Evo and Evo 3d. Also got it on this phone stock when I first bought it. Somehow it just went away since I've flashed Calk's. I think its a problem with YouTube itself.

I never really had this problem. Hopefully you find a solution.

Lately YouTube app freezes on videos and on epic 4 it foreclose altogether now
.: sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch :.

It doesn't fc, it just stops playing. I just tried to watch a 3 minute video and the (god forbid) a 10 minute. Nope. Not even close to 2 minutes in on either. Is YouTube that bad now? I don't seem to have this much trouble on my PCs,though I do occasionally have some.
This REALLY bothers me. But others are able to watch videos no problem, eh? This isn't an epidemic ....
Really weird. :-(

Are you on the latest Youtube version?

Try that if not. Once again good luck on the find.

I've been on every single rom. I never had this issue. Are you using ics leak or gb el29? Also do you have good data speeds or a reliable wifi at your house? And did you update your flash player via market?

I'm in your boat my dude. My youtube will just stop playing randomly. It could be 3 mins or 10 mins into the video and it just stops. It really started annoying me until I realized that it was an automatic pause. So I when I touched the screen, it would resume. I don't think anyone is working on a fix though with it being a seemingly small issue.
Mi nuh tek intimidation

I was complaining about this to someone at work the other day...and when I went to show them, it worked fine. I SWEAR I've had this problem at work..but maybe I got my facts confused and just didn't look @ youtube at work beause I didn't want anyone to see how flawed my awesome device was.
tried a few more....everything was good.
Go home....no go. So now I'm wondering if it's my old Linksys WRT54Gv8 running DD-WRT. I upgraded the firmware to the newest stable (mine was from 2008 and upgraded to one that is late 2009). No Luck.
at work I was on wifi also, so...it's not the phone's WiFi.
it works better on 3/4g but freakin wifi should rule them all. my cable is fast as F and other devices in the house don't have issues...weird, eh?

OK so this is a troubleshooting thread at this point. It's a problem with my home wireless.
I tried upgrading the firmware on my DD-wrt router and I think I bricked it. Oh well. It had a decent life. The firmware was from early 2008 and I don't remember when I got it.
So I got a new Linksys/Cisco e3000 and set it up. It doesn't hand out IP addresses or anything. All it does is share my internet connection. Dhcp and DNS is handled by my old windows 2003 domain controller. I get an IP and all seems fine but I've done quite a bit of testing tonight and wireless is slower to begin things (like market, YouTube, etc) than 4g.
My speed test results are great thoughf on wireless. Like....stupid fast. Almost as fast as my connection is. ~25mb.
The initial post was obviously about YouTube and what I'm seeing is on Wi-Fi a video will cache up much faster but it stops at some point. When the playing video reaches that point the video stops and will not start again. When I watch a video on 4g it caches up more slowly, staying just ahead of what's playing. On the rare instance that it catches up I'll get the spinning circle for a second or 200 and it'll start playing again.
The behavior is quite different and I'm not sure what would cause it.
Hoping someone might have some insight here or suggestions .....pretty irritating to not be able to enjoy this awesome phone as much at home as I can at work. I have a lot more time to f off on my phone @ home.

For my home wifi I got the Asus n56u, and also bought a range extender that plugs into an outlet. I have had no connectivity issues and setup was a breeze. Its either your router or your service at this point.

i'm having the same f***ed up issue. after playing vids for 5 mins, it stops suddenly. and its annoying as f** !!! theres got to be a solution to this.

My setup is just overly complicated. I had a 2003 domain controller that does dhcp and DNS, then goes through a virtual machine of a Linux firewall called Untangle. The VM was running within a 2008 server who was also supposed to be a domain controller.
I hated 2008 and wanted to go to R's anyway so I demoted the 2008 server blew away the old untangle install and just started over with 2008r2. Also upgraded from the old free vmware server client (no longer available or supported) and went to vmware workstation and now everything is working great.
I doubt you have the same things.....but....I don't think it was a problem with android or YouTube, but its still weird that no other devices at my house had this problem ....

WIFI Data Black Hole...

So i can stream HD on 4 computers while playing Xbox just fine... but the second i turn on the WIFI on the GS3 my data speed dies on most all of my other devices and i can barely stream a SD video without it buffering every 10 seconds.
Anyone else have this issue? Any good ways to track this sort of WIFI vampirism?

Could you have a rogue app that is downloading non-stop? I would go to data usage and see how much data you are using on WiFi. You can enable WiFi usage by hitting menu after entering the data usage under mobile options (I think this is still there on stock ROMs). That may tell you something. Then it gives you a list of apps using the most data and may find your culprit. Just a possible hunch. Either that or your router hates your S3...I've heard/confirmed more unusual things doing tech support.

There's another possible cause.. it might not be the phone at all, but instead your router doing some funky things, especially if you're using DHCP and custom Router Firmware.
I typically make sure all my inhome devices are using a static reserved IP, that way there's no issues ever.
I've also seen issues where routers cannot handle certain security protocols properly, and when a new device connects using one of them, it just stops working entirely.
What I would suggest for the moment is this:
1) First turn all all but ONE device.. say your Xbox for example and see if you get the slowdown with only one device + your phone...
2) Assign all the devices a static IP in your router.. depending on model there are many ways this might be accomplished, google your router's model for info if you've not done this before.
3) Turn off all WiFi encryption for a bit and see if the problem still occurs.
If things get better with any of the above, you can then take steps to figure out if it's a bad router, or just bad settings somewhere.
This is all of course assuming your phone isn't the cause...or you cannot tell from the list of apps.

[Q] Choppy Video Playback If Not Using WIFI?

Hey Guys and Gals. Okay, I just noticed this today when trying to watch The Avengers after using the T-Mo free download sneaky sly-boots buildprop trick. If I turn my WIFI off while trying to play it the video is crazy choppy. No audio lag. Just video. I was trying to watch during my lunch break and I was out of range of the office WIFI so I toggled it off to save a little juice. When I got home I tried to play it again and it worked flawlessly... but I was connected to my home WIFI. I found that curious so during the movie I toggled it off again and low and behold, choppy video. One would think with all of the horsepower this phone has it would be able to handle HD movie playback without packet streaming from WIFI. I haven't seen any mention of it on here anywhere. Is this an annoyance that will be fixed with Jelly Bean or is this just how it is with this phone? Is TWiz murdering playback? Honestly I haven't tried it with any JB Rom other than Drew's 3.5, but playback simply doesn't work on that rom's current version. I tried it on just bone stock rooted and on Wanam.
So has anyone else experienced this or have tips?
Also I downloaded MX and Mobo to see if their hw acceleration was better but got the same results.
WonderDroid Gurus activate! Form of... Tips and/or knowledge? Idk.

Hardware specs don't enter into streaming much. Its choppy likely because the network is congested.

Well alright then. I guess my next question is if it is the network shouldn't it not happen if I shut off data and WiFi? If it is a network only issue then shutting off data should help right?

[Q] WLAN_RX_WAKE wakelock preventing GNex from entering deep sleep

Really odd problem here - as of a couple days ago, everything was working perfectly with my galaxy nexus. I decided to jump over to CM10 (was on codename android, IIRC), right after I think there were some new commits to AOSP.
From here on out, my phone would never enter deep sleep when connected to wifi. Any wifi hotspot - the ones I've been using, a hotspot I created from my desktop - the icon would show the phone constant receiving data via wifi. Using better battery stats, over about 5 hours on my desk, 4.5hrs were spent with a WLAN_RX_WAKE kernel wakelock with my phone sitting at 350MHz instead of deep sleep for that time.
I tried a bunch of different kernels (stock CM10, franco, imoseyon, etc) both new and old versions, but the problem was still there. I tried clean flashing a rom, and only installing better battery stats. Same thing with all kernels.
Factory restored google stock images to BOTH ICS and JB. I still have the problem. Tried disabling google location services. No dice. Tried a couple basebands, but I'm pretty sure that only affects cell/data performance, right?
I honestly have no idea what is going on. I've been on this hotspot (campus wifi) for months now without a problem, and now this. Some threads say that this is caused by DHCP requests from the router, but why would I have not seen this until now? My idle drain was at about 1-2% per hour before this, now it is close to 10-15%.

This is literally the EXACT SAME problem I'm having...I wish someone could properly explain why this is happening and how to fix it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Not sure if you've tried this and it helps but maybe you can try Network Log or Shark from the store to diagnose this?

Network Log doesn't show up with anything, so the wakelock shouldn't be caused by a rogue app.
Shark, on the other hand, after about 10 seconds of logging, netted me about 300 DHCPv6 'solicit XID' requests. There a bunch of different sources from these requests, they just seem to be other devices on the network pinging my phone to see if it's a DHCPv6 server...?
I've seen some suggestions on other forums to mess around with the router settings, which I can't do because it's campus internet.

Since you've tinkered with rom/kernels etc on phone without any seeming change, it's feasible that there's been some change recently on the other side of the equation namely the network settings of your campus wifi? Maybe your University's tech department has implemented something new etc? Have you tried asking others with wifi enabled phones if they are experiencing this as well?
Found this here (pretty sure you've come across this if you've been googling abt this issue but posting anyways)
"Another more elaborate solution if you rely on that network a lot, is to purchase a wireless bridge or gaming adapter and connect it to your apartment wifi and then connect your own wifi router to that. Then the gaming adapter would get the dhcp IP from your apartment (so who cares if it is renewing it constantly) and your router would treat the connection just as if you were connected directly to an internet connection. Then configure your router for static IP addresses or if your router does not cause issues with DHCP then you don't need static IPs."
from http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16134-kernel-wakelock-wlan-rx-wake/
I know I had an issue with some wlan rx wakelock thing last year but I cannot for the life of me remember how I got rid of it or what changed

Hmm, seems like an okay solution but my friend's devices don't seem to show the same symptom, and since I roam campus alot, a wifi extender wouldn't be ideal.

Bump. Any other ideas?

I am seriously ripping my hair out from this goddamn wakelock ****.
I wake up at 9am and have to charge my phone by 4pm because it's at 16% with 40 minutes of screen on time. Seriously? This is a JOKE.
I've checked with BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy. Both confirm the phone keeps sitting at 350MHz when it's supposed to be sleeping, as well as wlan_rx_wake keeping the phone awake.
I've set my phone to receive a static IP from my router (DIR-655) but it doesn't help. I really don't know WHAT to do. I've downloaded shark to my phone, sniffed packets, but haven't been able to get anything useful out of it since there is a LOT to sift through (unless you know what you're looking for - which I don't).
This is by far the worst bug/issue I have ever encountered with my phone and it is seriously getting on my nerves. I will be forever greatful to anyone who can help me pinpoint the issue and make it stop.
Also, i REFUSE to "go buy a new router" as it's bull****. This is a bug people experience only sometimes it seems and NO ONE has a fix for it. I read somewhere about a fix being implemented in some kernels but they were for other phones, never found anything like it for the GNex. If anyone knows anything about a fix like that, please show me the way.
I already checked for rogue apps, there were none keeping wifi awake. I've even tried with a totally stock, newly flashed phone with stock kernel and everything. NO extra apps installed except shark, CPU spy and betterbatterystats sideloaded. I didn't even input my GMail to stop the syncing. It STILL KEPT MY GODDAMN PHONE AWAKE.
I am SERIOUSLY desperate. Considering just selling my phone and opting for something else if this continues, it totally cripples everything.
/rant over

turn on WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS, for about 30seconds, then turn them off. put your phone to sleep, then check if you're going into deep sleep. CPU spy is a good app to check if your hitting deep sleep.

Change wireless network encryption? Wpa2, tkip+aes, aes only, tkip only? Wpa?
Change wifi channel?
Edit: scratch that. Try disabling 5ghz band.

I had a similar issue, it turned out it was Dropbox LANSync in my home LAN. I used an experimental forum build on my PC, so it could be this, but in the end I turned LANSync off, since Android doesn't make use of it anyway.
So try this if you have Dropbox running on your network clients.

A quick update, I just tried all the suggestions in the quotes in my previous post but to no avail, still getting the wake locks. I'm seriously going crazy.
Turning wifi off did let the phone sleep, but that was expected as the wake lock is related to wifi. Nothing else has worked. NOTHING.

This issue appeared again for me, it obviously also helps to disable the NETBIOS on your Windows PC network adapter. There are guides for that online. Also get the "Network Log" app in the Play Store, it shows the traffic so you can see which one's are for the kernel (wlan_rx_wake is a kernel wakelock).

Also uPNP feature in router can cause all kind of weird behavior. Better block it from router's firewall.
Sent from my slimbeaned GNex

What baffles me the most is that all of this shouldn't be needed. I shouldn't have to disable netbios and do things to OTHER devices just so my phone sleeps. This is a jellybean issue imo, I never had these problems on ICS.
The experiments continue, updates incoming.

I also suspect the major issue was that my wifi channel was the same as the ones around me. When I changed it, the wlan wakelocks went down significantly.

5 Ghz band is disabled when you enter Wi - Fi - advanced - Wi - Fi frequency band ... It's set to auto by default, you try either 2.4 or 5 ghz on manual and check if that helps ( incase you didnt already )

Does anyone have any news about this issue? I have the same problem and I can't find the solution. I made several test without any good results.
