Is anyone else experiencing this?
A YouTube url from anywhere, text, email, website - it will launch the YouTube app but I just see the home page and some ad at the top. Eg, the video I clicked to see is not there
Solution?
Thx

Hi.
Recently my unlocked unbranded desire has refused to upload pictures to picasa, or videos to youtube. All I get is the message "Failed to retrieve account information".
Running 2.2 from ota update. Not rooted. Tried a factory reset at the weekend and the problem persists. It worked fine on 2.1.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I have this same problem on a brand new HTC Vision G2 on T-Mobile. Tried clearing cache and data for YouTube application -- no dice. Seems to be a widespread problem.
Same issue on galaxy s vibrant. Did quite a few searches. Lots of questions, but no solutions yet.
Just tried the @youtube.com account in the youtube app, and it logged me in. I was then able to upload video to my actual account problem. Weird.
Logging in into You Tube app with @youtube.com instead of @gmail.com fixed the issue. Thank you stikk.

The application My Uploads Process com.google.android.apps.uploader has stopped unexpectedly.
--edit again---
Ok its working this time. ^_^
I had to choose to use gallery to select the file i wanted to upload. If i selected es file explorer, it would crash the uploader ... Strange.
Anyway, Its working now. Thanks!
Hey folks,
I have a strange problem with the YouTube application where I cannot get preloading to work. Essentially, I am simply checking the "Preloading subscriptions" and "Preload watch later" under the "Preloading" menu in the Settings. I understand it will download my videos once I am connected to WiFi and charging. The interesting thing is that it initially works and starts downloading the videos, and I see the green and white arrows on the videos in my channel feed indicating that the videos has been downloaded or is in the process of doing so. However, the preloaded videos will end up clearing (whether I watch them or not) at random times. I have tried different iterations of things to determine what is going on and the one definitive thing I notice that is happening is that the YouTube application is randomly signing me out. Every time I notice that the videos are gone (memory on the SD card gains about 500MB), I go into the YouTube app and the "Signing In" screen appears, and then my Channel Feed shows. Usually, YouTube is always signed in (never see the Signing In screen) and this random signing out only occurs when I enable the Preloading features, oddly. I understand why the preloaded videos get cleared, as YouTube needs to have the account logged in to know your Subscriptions and Watch Later list. Once logged out, YouTube starts cleaning out the preloaded data. This is logical, but counterproductive to this feature and seems like a bug. Yet, in my searches I have not found anyone with this similar issue. Also, I have had my device and using YouTube for a year, but never used the preloading features until last week as I just stumbled on this helpful feature.
Sorry about the long-winded description. Basically, the bottom line is that when I enable the Preloading features, it causes the YouTube app to log my account out at random times, which makes the preloading features useless. Has anyone ever had this issue and is there a solution?
I have a T-mobile Galaxy SII with the Stock non-rooted ICS 4.0.4 ROM (baseband: T989UVLI4). I have tried clearing the data on the YouTube application, uninstalled and then re-installed the updates, but so far the same behavior persists. Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Did you recently update the Youtube app, because the app has had quite a bit of bugs lately. And you could try a substitute app: Tubemate that you can download on their website (google it). Tubemate lets you download youtube videos.

Ah, actually that is interesting. The latest update was on 2/22/13, which I have done, and looking in the reviews on the Play Store, I see folks are having some different issues that were not present before the upgrade. One recent post from a Galaxy S3 user posted about the application randomly signing out after this update. So, perhaps that is the issue where it is just an introduced bug in this latest version. I have just noticed this now since I was just trying out Preloading the first time a few days ago and this has been the only issue I have had. I do not know if Preloading worked before the upgrade as I never enabled it before.
Thanks for the insight. :good: I will just not worry about preloading for now and wait for another update which hopefully addresses the random signing out and possibly make the preloading work.
In fact, perusing more reviews in the Play Store for the YouTube app, seems to have a lot of complaints regarding the app not staying signed in. Clearly, this is the issue that is breaking the preloading functionality. Folks are also complaining about the YouTube widget not working as well, which is also related to the account not staying signed in.

Son got a S9 for Xmas. However on opening Google Photos it just crashes instantly. Can't open it at all. This is a standard UK S9. Pretty disappointing on a inbuilt app doing this from out of the box.
It seems to be a very common issue looking on web. Is this a Samsung problem or a Google, or Amdroid problem? and is there a fix yet anywhere?
Thanks

See if the Play Store has any updates available for it. Maybe its been fixed by Google. If not I'd guess maybe clearing the cache/data of the Google Photos app might help. If you press and hold on an app there should popup an option with "app info". From there there should be a storage option and once selected it should list how much storage is being used as cache and data. Try clearing the cache first and see if that fixes it. If not go for the clear data option.
Yeh tried all that. All up to date, tried restarting, clear cache etc. Looks like a wide ranging problem as well. Very frustrating, open brand new phone out of box and get this have to say, not impressed so far with Android.

Have you updated Android itself? Probably a couple of updates behind out of the box
Plus Android Pie is available for certain regions now, could always update to that using ODIN
I would also try factory resetting the phone if nothing else works
Also if you go to the apps info page and hit the 3 dots top right menu, there should be an uninstall updates button, it will revert back to the factory installed version of the app
Are you using Swift Installer?

Don't bother using Google photos especially to back up motion photos if your using that on the phone as it doesn't back them up properly and when restoring just gives back a normal photo just use the samsung gallery app until the photos app is working again.
Hey guys. After playing around a bit I wondered why Skype and account settings suddenly stopped working. After a while playing around I figured what was happening.
Since I'm not a fan of Chrome, I decided to remove it, like I always do. Don't want unnecessary stuff on my device.
After reinstalling, it was possible again to add a new account, also to start Skype. Seem it is bound to Chrome web view somehow. The alternative internal Android web view don't seem to work with these settings.
Does anyone have an idea how to safely remove Chrome but keep functionality?
Disabled the chrome app on my phone with no issues.
I'm also not seeing this issue.

Just disable chrome
I did. This also results in not being able to add a new Google account, or simply start Skype.
Only if Chrome is installed AND active it will work. Can you guys try again and report back?

Just ran Skype and added a Google account. No problem, no Chrome. I'm wondering if another app you installed is getting involved.

I uninstall chrome, no issue at all bro. All working fine.

Just have a look. And no: if I do a clean install and have nothing else installed other than Skype, it acts the same way. This is where I figured out why this was happening.
Edit: even if I don't install Skype any anything else: if I just deactivate chrome I can't add any Google accounts.
Today, I plugged in my 20X to my monitor and noticed that my Chrome is no longer appearing in the Desktop apps.
All other Google apps are still appeating:Google, Photo, Maps, Drive. Only Chrome is missing.
Anyone encountered the same problem and any fix to this?

I have the same issue. I just tried Desktop Mode for the first time a few days ago and noticed it was missing. Were you able to use Chrome in the past? You mean it just disappeared after a recent update? In that case we could roll back to a previous Chrome version...
Anyone know how to add apps to the desktop mode start menu?
All G apps except Chrome are missing.
