Recent development...cannot watch videos on any medium... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running tommytomatoes classic rom
Everything has gone great for some time now until last week when I tried to watch a youtube video with no luck
The same thing happened when I tried to watch a video ANYWHERE
It says "Cannot play video unable to connect to server"
Any ideas? Other than the obvious...
My friends with unrooted and rooted phones are doing just fine...mine however is not.

Is this happening over WiFI , 3G , or 4G ? Is Data connection working correctly on other programs ?

Try uninstalling youtube,clearing cache and delvik and then reinstall it through the playstore,so its the most recent version,see if that works for you,the apk you have installed now could be corrupted.

Data connection works fine
It's not only YouTube though. It's any streaming video.

You sure you didn't change any settings? I've heard that zeroing out the proxy settings to try and speed up data can sometimes have this side effect.

Not unless it was totally by accident because I honestly have no clue what that even is...

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.

No Data Connection rooted evo4g

I've had my Evo rooted for quite a long time now. All of a sudden I have lost my data connection. It happened maybe 3 days after flashing MIUI 1.7.8 I can browse the web just fine, every website loads perfect. Only thing issue with browsing is that embedded flash videos will not load.
The Netflix app, NHL gamecenter, ROM Manager, and all other apps that use data do not work properly. They say there is no data connection and will not work.
I tried flashing back to CM7.1 and have the same problem. Has never done this before. All mobile data settings seem to be ok.
If I go to mobile networks and turn data off and then right back on, data will work for maybe 30 seconds to a minute then not connect anymore.
Anyone ever experience this problem before?

I lost data on my Hero once, I simply called Sprint and told them my situation, leaving out the fact that I was rooted, and they reset my data profile over the air. Had me reset it on the phone, and everything worked perfectly again.
Yea Just call Sprint. They need to reset ur profile.
lost connection
Same problem but I have been on metro pcs for about a year.

Google Play and Youtube connection problem..

That's my problem, Google Play can not connect "try again" and sometimes it shows me two erros: 495 y 923, and YouTube can not connect. But if i use 3G connection yes, It works!
*I already read the following things and i´m still with the same problem:
- "Reboot Mobile"
- "Clear cache and data from Google Play app and Market"
- Yes.. Gtalk works form me and i can talk with others..
- "Reinstall Google Play and Youtube apps"
- The date and hour its ok
In 3G connection it works, but if i change to wifi doesnt works. I can use internet with the wifi but google play and youtube dont. I've used the wifi connection since I have this phone and suddenly i have this problem.
Any ideas?

Androi Revolution HD 6.3.2 and i have this rom since 4 months ago and never had this problem, the only diferent thing i did was install NQ Mobile Security and its unistalled now.
Also installed "Signal Booster" and now its unistalled too...
Same problem here
Today, four hours ago happen you me same thing, market and YouTube stops working.
But just on wifi, I tried everything but notHing works, my phone in rooted, rom rooted but stock, any ideas?
I got the same problem but i have samsung galaxy s2 tried to use market enable to flash the ar&t service and my date was ok tried with wifi apps but nothing its imposible with wifi
Nobody?
ROM's go corrupt over time, esp custom ROM's, try a factory reset and see if you still see the same issue...do a backup though before you do factory reset.
Nothing, i did a factory reset and google play and youtube have not conection to internet.....

Problems with streaming video over WiFi [Solved]

Anyone have any ideas on the cause of this?
I can watch videos on youtube and facebook while on 3G, but when on WiFi youtube and facebook videos errors out. I can watch youtube fine using a PC on the same WiFi network. I am on stock rooted LG8.
Things I've tried.
removing all youtube updates, reboot
clearing youtube data, reboot
uninstalling busybox, reboot
removing adblock (restoring original hosts file), reboot
I don't want to do a full factory reset. Anyone got any ideas?
I get this issue sometimes on my phone. I find that restarting the phone makes the problem go away for awhile. Also, try resetting your wifi connection. Hold your finger on the connection in wifi settings and select "forget"...then add the hotspot again. I think this is a bug within the stock LG8 ROM. Install BlazerROM, haven't had any issues since I did this.
Well, I have restarted the phone numerous times without any improvement, but I never thought of deleting the WiFi connection and recreating it. That did it. Thanks.
i'm having this same problem.. youtube works over 3G but i get "connection to server lost" when i try to stream a video while connected to wifi.
already tried several methods and same problem. i'm stock and unrooted.. i wonder if having wifi setup with static IP (no DHCP) has anything to do with it..
really hope they fix this problem because it's really lame.
Edit: it looks like it does have to do with having wifi setup as static IP.. found this thread with someone having the same problem, yet no fix.. pretty ridiculous Google/Samsung, not sure which of the two is to blame..

[Q] Wifi Nightmares

Hello i have a HTC M8 on Telstra (AUS) and im having nightmares with wifi not allowing me to access the play store.

You can connect to everything else on WiFi? Maybe try restarting your router or if worse comes to worse reset it.

Yea everything else works on wifi. I have done a full factory restore on the router and it still doesn't work
You should connect to a different WiFi network (like at work or a friends house) and see if you can access the playstore that way. If you can you'll know its an issue with your router. If you can't it's a problem with the phone.
