[Q] Youtube Links won't Open in Youtube App - LG Optimus G (International)

So since I got the 4.1.2 update on my Optimus G (Bell) anytime i click a youtube link it wont load the app anymore. It loads it in a browser and plays in the tiny window. It used to work seamlessly before, and now I can't figure out how to get it working again. Any ideas?

You should try going to settings->apps->all->The browser in question->Clear defaults. You'll get up all those choose default app boxes again, but maybe this will let you choose?
Btw, I've noticed that youtu.be links seem to always open in my browser (maxthon).

yeah ive tried that both with youtube and the browser. when i click a youtube link it gives me the options of loading it in browser or chrome, but the youtube app isnt on that list.

You could try "Redirect for youtu.be" on the play store, app description also gives an idea what your problem is. It seems to be helping for me!

Edit: Just tried opening a youtube link, got up the choices of "internet or redirect", seems to have fixed my problem

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

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?

[Q] Where did the app chooser/picker go?

So, this Q Slide feature.....it's nice, but it only works on local videos.
On my Galaxy Note, and My ASUS Transformer, my for-play-only GS3, and every other Android device i've ever owned or used, has an App Picker....if you open up a file, it will ask you what app you'd like to open the file/stream with.
With youtube videos, maybe you want to use the youtube app....or if the youtube app doesn't have a 720p option, maybe you want to use the browser and flash. Maybe you have an app that download videos, or downloads the music from a video....but it's GONE from the LG ROM. Or at least, clearing the defaults for every app on the phone (it's brand new, and i didn't even choose a default app for anything--i never do, because my needs vary so much, and i sometimes use obscure apps), uninstalling, and then reinstalling the app didn't work.
What am i missing? Does LG seriously lock down their devices so much that they only allow you do open certain types of content with certain apps?

Problem with selecting default apps

Hi there.
Has anyone have a problem with system constantly asking which app to use to open a video? Lets say I'm clicking a youtube link in the browser and it's asking me whether to use a browser or mxpayer or youtube to open it. Every single time I want youtube app to deal with it by default but it keeps asking.
The same thing with opening links, it asks to choose the default from browser, tapatalk or tapatalk based app. Even when the default action and app is always selected it doesn't remember it. Any ideas how to fix it? I have D855, UK Three branded, still running 10a soft, rooted.

[Q] Default app woes when browsing reddit

I have a huge problem with my galaxy note 3. When I am browsing Reddit and tap on a link I am almost always prompted to input what app I want to open and if I want to make it default. I have clicked always a bazillion times but I still get prompted with other link tap. It is super frustrating., What can I do to fix this. I do have T-mobile with the latest 4.4.2 build (stock).

If your using Chrome your gonna need to get the support plug-ins via play store. As for default browser don't know work around. The link for play store below. Let me know how it goes.

PS you can thank Samsung for the issue ?

Unable to save images in Chrome browser

For a while now, I am unable to save images in Chrome (no matter if regular, developer or beta. Even NoChromo displays the same behaviour). I cannot share images either, for example via Viber, but it works via FB Messenger. I rooted the phone 2 days ago and reinstalled everything, but the problem still persists! Strangely enough, some images do appear in the gallery after a while, some don't, but if I try to open it immediately in gallery, I get an exclamation mark logo, and google photos says "could not load image".
I am aware of at least two more guys with the same problem, so I'd like to know if there is more of us and if there is a fix (except downrgading to a really old chrome or an alternative browser, eg. LG stock browser does not have this issue).
Hi, you are not alone I faced this issue lg g4 recently following updates to the google chrome browser. It used to work fine but after the updates I have the exact same issue as you with the images. The way I fixed this is I go to google play store and go to the chrome browser. Click uninstall and it will remove all the updates. Following this I have also turned off auto updates for this app. Now I am using it fine with the stock version.
I didn't know it could be fixed. I'd prefer to have the latest Chrome browser though. I just download the image and then share through Quickpic or any other gallery app.

well, I did say "except downrgading to a really old chrome". I tried that already, but really, that's a no go for me.

does quickpic see the image immediately after downloading it?

Yep instantly. Tested it four times and it works for all websites.
If you don't currently have quickpic, then download the version 4.5.2 apk as their latest has bloat and junk since they were bought by a company.
thx!
Still, too bad that there is no proper fix for newer Chrome. Now, when I want to just share some goofy pic in Viber, I have to download it, open QuickPic, share photo and then delete it... It's a drag!
Guys! Same for me. I download the file, but it seems that there is a problem when file is saved. I tap the notification and stock gallery/album app give me a black screen with an "!" mark. If i choose to download the file again, Chrome says the file already exist... random bug.
Doesn't bother me that much since I don't save a lot of pics from the Internet, but it's still a pain.
I have the same issue but with stock file manager i can see and share them...
