I got beef the youtube app, and I'm sure they wont listen to little ol me - Vibrant General

Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.

Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.

If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.

It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

Cm6

I went to change the user agent in the cm6 browser from android to iPhone and then went to YouTube it tells me that I need to enable safari plugins for it to play. How do you do that
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Why would you want to do that? The iphone does not support flash and I don't think the browser will. The android browser has more capabilties than the browser found on the iPhone and since sites think you are using the iPhone you may not be able to view certain things.
I wasn't going to keep it on iPhone I was just wondering why I couldnt watch YouTube that's all

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?
I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol
It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.

YouTube 2.5.16 update

Hello P500 community
Well yesterday I updated my YouTube app to 2.5.16 thinking it was going to be a good update. I was wrong lol... There is a new like and dislike bar which looks nice but now there is no HQ for our devices. So I suggest that you don't update YouTube on 2.3 roms if you would like to have HQ. Just a tip :thumbup:
Edit: added YouTube 2.4.4 apk in case some of you guys updated and want HQ again :laugh:

by enabling this, you will only get HQ on data connectivity (i mean GPRS/EDGE/3G).
If you are using wifi connectivity, then this option wont help you.

And WTF is this?

I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)
