Another problem just appeared...or is it a problem? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Whenever I try to click a video on YouTube, a pop-up appears asking me to save the video, rather than viewing it on the phone... not sure why it's doing this.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks

First off. What ROM, Kernel, and recovery are you using?
How long has this been happening or when did it start happening?
I just checked my YouTube and it's not doing this. I'm on the latest AOKP and using Datkside Kernel and TWRP.

Youtube app or web?

Not n issue wit the phone it n application, had it a few times actually, my guess is youtube isn't installed, & ur either using a different browser, or what video application do u use? (Moboplayer can actually override browser settings & automaticly play youtube on low through it, another (can't remember name) does this exact thing,) reinstall youtube should fix

Using Darkside Evo 3 (no kernel flashed).
Both on YouTube app and web which I use Opera Mini Browser.
I wonder if it's something I froze on Titanium app, but looked through it today and can't see anything that would be affected by it.
I'll just re-flash the ROM, no big deal, see what happens from there.
Thought I'd toss the question here since everyone is pretty knowledgeable and helpful, maybe someone had the same problem at some point.
My bigger issue still is the battery life which blows.

Wierd market and youtube bug

My phone had been working fine all week and today it did some really wierd things. I am on srf 1.2 and genocide kernal.
First thing I noticed was that the market chanhed looks on me, I like the old style of market. The one that has green borders all around. I booted the market up and it was all normal. I then downloaded an app and I noticed it was going very slow so I cancled and loaded market again and just like that the market appearence was totally different. It had grey boarders and all the apps were lined up in a grid pattern. You dif not have to scroll down to look at the list of apps. It also seemed alot slower.
The second thing is I use opera mini browser for my internet. Youtube vids were working fine then all of sudden it said that the vids were not compatabe or somethong like that. It was just not one video it was all of them.
So I went to cwm and wiped cache and dalvik then restored. This fixed the youtube problem, but the market switched again later for no reason.
Any suggestions? Thanls
Both apps updated today. You could try uninstalling updates in applications.

Well with the market they pushed out a new version, as you can tell. Youtube, I can't help you on that
Posted from my pedo van.
I like the new market.
Posted from my awesome EPIC.
Lol, you're talking about the market that everyone (most of us) had weeks back before it was updated to the public. =P as for the Youtube issue, all with epics and many other phones share your issue, just go to settings, manage applications, select youtube, and uninstall the update for now.

I am not using the youtube app. I am using opera mobile and it will not let me watch videos. I have cleared data in opera but that did not help.

Where is Opera getting that address from? It is not a valid address. Is it some type of redirector? Rather than drive yourself crazy wouldn't it be easier to switch browsers? Like to Dolphin or Miren?

MMS & Pic Issues

I'm having an Issue with my Evo running CM7 Nightlys.
Lately when I try to dowload a pic from either MMS or emails ect. Hell sometimes even when I take a pic when I go into my gallery it shows the new pic that's supposed to be there but when I open it it comes up another pic usually one that I had deleated but sometimes it's of a pic that I have in another folder somewhere. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue, and better yet if anyone has figured out how to fix it this issue is driving me nuts.
Thanks
Try fixing permissions via rom manager. It fixes tons of things. If that doesn't work clear data in applications-all-gallery

Tried both and still the same result. Nothing changed at all.
Might have a bad download. Try redownlaoding flash the rom and gapps. Are you using a specific kernel?

try clearing data for gallery and media storage, rebooting, opening gallery and letting the thumbnails reload.

Wow that's quite weird! For cases like this I ussualy go for a fresh start. Do you have the stock SD card?
Format it on your computer with fat32. Remember to back up necessary pics, videos, backups, etc.
Then follow my little guide below as much as you prefer. (You don't have to follow exactly) my setup will get you that fresh clean slate.
If your problem is still there, let me know.

Rather odd. Have you changed your LCD density at all? That will cause some market apps not to show up if they are designed for '240' density.
If you haven't, try going to Settings > Applications > All > Market & uninstall updates and clear your market cache. Reboot your phone and give that a whirl.
Yeah i already tried that with the same result. Its super weird i dont know why i cant see it in the market its like its hidden or something.
The YouTube app has been acting very weird lately, as of last night it would crash randomly and not show my subscriptions. I guess the last update they made screwed it up as I have been seeing more and more postings about this.

Yep, I noticed the exact same thing. I noticed that my 'Home page' was cluttered with stuff that is not relevant to what I watch as well.
For some reason youtube in the market does not support our phone. Maybe its because of us having a bigger screen? If you have appbrain it will show it as in need of an update if you go to update thru appbrain it will take you to the app on the market but at the top it will say device not supported. The only work around to this I found was to find out what was the latest version and I googled the apk and installed it.

Screen Flicker - No OC or UV

I have not had this problem at all...until maybe a week or go, when it started.
I have screen flicker, sometimes quite bad. I thought I read somewhere that GPU settings may have something do do with it.
Thing is, I haven't changed any settings, or kernels. I'm no what is listed in my sig, and have been for quite a while.
Any thoughts?
You could try disabling HW overlays under developer options in the settings menu.
Disabling hw overlays won't help (much anyways). Turn off auto brightness. Just set your brightness to a usable level. I didn't notice a single flicker the day I turned off auto brightness. The only tradeoff there is you're gonna run through your battery a little more quickly in lower light levels. Wasn't worth it for me, but whatever makes you happy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Neither is a go for me.
I never use auto brightness; I've tried both having Disable Hardware Overlays set and not set.
It's strange...I never had this problem until recently.
But, another thing that seems to be the case: I"m not sure it's happening in any app other than Samsung Email.
...
Just went and tried something: opened an email and scrolled in Samsung eMail, and it flashed. Did same in GMail, and it didn't. Maybe it's just something about a recent upgrade on that app. Maybe I'll post a topic on that app and see if anyone else is seeing it.

It's listed in my signature. Stock/Rooted.
I do have an update: I also was having pretty severe flicker/flashing when reading in Aldiko.
Last night I did a TWRP backup; factory reset; restore Data partition. Flashing is improved quite a bit, but still there.
So again, it seems it is happening, for the most part, in just a couple apps: Samsung Email, and Aldiko.

Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. I didn't know sigs don't show up when viewing in mobile. I put the info in the sig in order to prevent people from having to ask, and to prevent from having to type it with every post. I appreciate your telling me it doesn't show up in mobile apps. I never use mobile for forums...typing is to laborious.
IN answer to three, yes, have tried different kernel, although it's been quite a while.
It's ok.
I've had this issue on AOSP ROMs. Only way out was to change ROM.

[Q] Default Gallery app

Has anyone had any problems with the Samsung Gallery app freezing or being unresponsive? On mine, (no root, all stock) whether you go straight to the app or view a picture through it, it just freezes. I'm not able to select pictures, zoom or anything except for scrolling.... I can scroll up and down, left and right to view more pictures but that is it.
I know downloading another gallery app is a kind of fix, I just want something that will run vanilla with the camera app.
Thanks in advance!
I don't have this problem, but had other problems before. I've tried so many things to fix my problem but to no avail, so I just went ahead and reset the phone, my problem was fixed. I've been using the quickpic app for some time now and never looked back to the stock Samsung.

I haven't used my stock gallery in any of my phones for the last 3 years. Quickpic is always much faster.
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
Downloading a new app is definitely a fix, although it's still very annoying to me when switching in between the camera and the gallery app. I still haven't found a solution even from doing a factory reset. I found a video that shows exactly what it's doing (can't post link yet, but if you search "s4 unresponsive gallery" into Youtube, it's the first video)
Is there a way to get the gallery/camera apk to resinstall it? Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
