Youtube

Hi all
I am having problems with logging in to youtube through HTC sense on the HD2. I can log in to Facebook and twitter just fine, but whenever I try to log in to youtube, nothing happens - the icon does not turn green, but stays greyed out. I have tried on 2 different HD2s, using two different youtube accounts, and have even tried following a hard reset with the same results. I have tried to log in using the data services in the settings, and also using the account manager in the connections settings. I would like to be able to upload my videos to youtube from the HTC album, but of course I can't do this until I am logged in.
Is anyone having similar issues? I am using the 1.43 ROM on O2 in the UK. I don't really want to upgrade until the official ROM is released.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Just had the issue with my German Tmobile ROM.
Youtube was disabled...or no idea what Tmobile did to the ROM.
Now with the clean 1.48 everything works fine.
regards
brook

I'm on t-mobile on the uk and YouTube does not seem to work over 3G or HSDPA. works ok over wifi, now running 1.48 WWE ROM.
Sent from HD2 keyboard

One thing I will ask, is there any way when using the Youtube application, that when you do a search, the search results are similar to that of the actual Youtube website.
I often do a search in the app and will get no results, or very different results and on the website will gain the proper results.
Any suggestions?

Youtube login fix
Ive noticed something odd about the logins in Sense UI for youtube (and probably Facebook etc), if you have a non-alphanumeric password (a password with say [email protected] etc ) you won't be able to login. Just change your password with google/youtube and you can login. I assume the same goes for twitter and facebook.

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like my best bet is to wait for O2 to bring us the official 1.48 (or 1.49) upgrade, or to try the goldcard method. Just to respond to some of the suggestions, I have tried both over wifi and 3g with the same result, and I already have an alphanumeric password. Anyone else having this issue?

yep I have an official o2 ROM and I can't log into YouTube.

Looking suspiciously like an issue with the O2 rom. Have asked over at the O2 forums if anyone else is experiencing this. Will keep you updated.

Im on o2 and I dont have a problem, works fine for me.
Im also still on .143 rom.

Another troll post by you... reported!
On topic: If your device didn't come with the youtube application, you might want to try this alternative: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508984
For all Coreplayer users: Coreplayer also has Youtube integrated.
By the way:
I have written ALL of my recent posts on the HTC HD2. Typing on a mobile phone has never been so easy.

I made a thread concerning the youtube app and the camcorder. My T-mobile device didn't come with the youtube app so I decided to install it but it seemed to mess up my camcorder. I wasn't able to play the videos back.
Has anybody had this problem?

yep i`m on tmobile and i have the same problem, desperate for a fix!!!!! i have the original youtube app off the topaz/hd but my videos wont play when this is installed, uninstall it an my videos play fine. i wish i had the knowledge or understanding to make this work, unfortunatly i dont LOL!!
someone on this forum must know how to fix this, surely!

OK, I'm making progress. I created a new youtube account, which I can now log in to properly from the phone. My original youtube account still isn't working, though. From feedback I have had elsewhere, I'm wondering whether this has anything to do with the fact that this is linked to my google account. For those still having this issue, I would suggest trying to create a new account on the youtube website and trying to log in to that. Also, I noticed that I have to log in using my user name only, not with the email address, as this doesn't work. Hope this helps someone.

same problem
mine was working fine until today when I goldcarded it to the official htc 1.48.405.2 rom. now it doesn't work.
anyone figured this issue out yet?

Youtube no longer playing videos!

Yesterday youtube stopped playing videos. I can still surf through the videos but if I try to play one it just goes to Connecting... and then eventually fails. I can surf the internet fine in opera and skyfire and get on facebook, so I know my internet is working. I tried reflashing several different ROMs with no success at getting it to work. Any ideas? BTW, I am currently using the newest Artemis ROM but I have also tried multiple Miri and Dutty ROMS and the youtube didnt work either. PLEASE HELP! I love watching youtube videos on the go. I have also tried it with wifi connect and using 3G and both get the same error. Also I can open youtube and play a video in Skyfire so I am dumbfounded on why the Youtube program isnt working. BTW, I am using the a Testra HD2 on AT&T with 3G!

I read that Youtube recently changed their Flash version that they use. Could that be why its not working this last few days?

Someone please help!

Please help guys!

I've just tried and mine works fine, try doing a hard reset and see if that fixes it.

Using a registry editor like Total Commander, go to Hkey_local_machine/software/htc/youtube/proxyname and remove the value (probably wireless.cingular.com:80). Save and restart your phone and youtube should now connect. AT&T prevents the use of youtube and this is a work around. I thought mine was faulty at first but found out this trick from another thread.

I tried this but when I run Youtube it puts the registry back! What do I do?

What ROM are you using?

Nevermind, I got it to work. There was another additional key entry that had to be deleted that had wap.cingular.com:80 too. Thanks for the help guys! This forum is awesome. I only have one other issue to work on and thats the HTC messaging.
I am using the newest Energy ROM and when I go to send a SMS it uses windows mobile SMS program instead of the HTC one. However, if I open a incoming one by double tapping on the main screen it will go into the HTC one. Any ideas?

Official T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Upgrade! - [2.13.531.1]

Here are a few links with information (including the HTC website download mirror) regarding the official update from T-Mobile USA, courteously provided by: Pocket Now!
Upgrade Announcement!
ROM Information!
I will most likely be applying this update within the next few days. Although, I'm a little hesitant just because I figure that certain, "Manila modifications" won't operate properly on this upgraded T-Mobile USA version... NOT YET ANYWAY!

Thanks,
Downloading

Install new ROM and restore from Sprite
I plan to install the new official ROM and then do a full restore from a Sprite backup that I will have done while on the old ROM.
Will that work
Do I need to do anything different with Sprite or is it just a normal restore
Thanks for any advice.

I have downloaded this version and installed it...i think its slow and it lags. so i got rid of it and i flashed back old one.

I wouldn't advise that...
Just go ahead and perform the usual steps of "starting fresh."
It's not worth risking any system "tainting" that could occur in the process of another system recovery from a different ROM image.
Besides, if you don't think the update is worth performing in the first place, stick with your current setup.

Really?
Most everyone that has provided a testimony for "TmoNews" has suggested that only improvements are noticed... nothing negative to report.
I would suggest that you CLEAR/CLEAN the RAM after the installation. Use a program such as Memory Maid to run a few system maintenance diagnostics.
Otherwise, give this "new" ROM time to "settle" on your device. 24-hour tests are usually the best idea.

I have installed the new ROM. Things are very similar to way they were before. Didn't feel HD2 getting faster or slower. However, I have a strange problem now: Right now I don't have a data plan so I'm using my WiFi connection to get to the internet. One of the first apps I installed after flashing the new ROM is Omarket. Few hours ago, i.e. before flashing the ROM, Omarket was working fine but now it cannot connect to internet! Opera mobile works fine though (I downloaded Omarket with it!). There are other strange things going on as well: I have an MS exchange account. I can sync my emails over WiFi but contacts do not get synced! It seems that somehow some programs can use WiFi and some others cannot. Couldn't figure out what's going on yet...

Any changelog ?

I saw on the Freeware Pocket PC twitter that they where having problems with the OMarket, Maybe this is what you where experiencing. Did the regular market work?

Haptic feedback on Swype.... interesting.
How well does Swype work for holding down a key to get the alternate symbol (like numbers & punctuation). On mine you can hold if down for days and never get the popup - I had to install version 2 to make it work.
BTW - I think I like the layout for version 2's symbols better, especially the numbers, but might be interesting to try out this Rom after enough people give feedback on it.
Missing Twitter tab would be... odd.

Why is this release coming from a HTC web site rather than T-Mo? I'm thinking of upgrading but dread going back through all the settings.

This problem appears to have been fixed in the new ROM.

One thing I noticed is that the new T-Mobile Help app hooks into the dialer and hijacks attempts to dial 611. Dialing 611 brings up the help app and then eventually the phone may dial 611 itself later.
The whole effect is... bizarre and unwelcome.

I cant get the My account or Help application to work. When I click the icon it shows me the initial screen and says "the my account application will be downloaded shortly" and just sits there. Did I somehow mis-flash the rom? I can't imagine this is the case.

Because the phone was created and manufactured by HTC. Just like Apple releases the updates for its iPhone; not AT&T.

I have the same

my account application works fine on my hd2. overall, the updated rom seems to run a lot smoother. however, i still get the lag in sms but the freezing issues (to the point where i had to take out the battery once or every other day during sms) seem to be gone.

Did you have any troubles with the installing of the update? Anything at all that went not according to plan?

.CAB request: Tmobile Help/My Account **SOLVED**

Hello folks-
I flashed the new update and things have been nice and steady. The only problem I've had is I cannot access the My account or Tmobile applications. I have shortcuts to them and when I click on them I go to a page with an anime guy holding a phone and a message in the center of the screen says "The My Account application will be downloaded shortly". The only button I can hit then is an exit button. I leave the phone active for minutes and have wifi on, as well as data connection. Nothing else happens. It seems like this is odd behavior and wondering if anyone would mind making a .cab.
Thanks for any responses!
EDIT!! I used Doc's MMs fix-which I believe tells Tmobile that my phone is not a HD2 (used for tiny mms messages problem) and I then tried the original My account and tmobile help applications and both work perfectly. How about that?

Anyone willing/able to try this?
I've had the upgrade for almost a week now and I still cannot access the problem. It says it will be downloaded shortly, and never is. I called 611 and customer service has no clue. As a side question, I believe I installed the upgrade fine, but perhaps I somehow messed it up? I made a connection to activesync, removed sd card, did update, but once it was all done and was rebooting, i disconnected the usb cord to the computer. Could this have possibly screwed up the My account application? Everything else works fine.

There's been other reports of the same issue, people on the new ROM having trouble getting the myaccount app to do it's update so you can use it. I haven't seen any solutions yet, but it's in a thread in this section somewhere.
I don't believe you screwed up your new ROM at all...if it's fuctioning in every other way than this, there's no other issue than the unexplained one that you and others are experiencing.

Thanks, I've figured as much. I've also seen a handful of people having the same problem (on other forums as well) but often this resolves itself on its own. Keeping my fingers crossed-it's more annoying than anything else.

Im good!
Myaccount works fine on mine, and it never downloaded anything. I just open the app and it works just fine, maybe the app is whats wrong not the whole update. i dont know how to make a .cab or i would do it for ya. any suggestions on how to do it?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653563
In here. Worked fine for me after instaling the CAB (look down the list a bit).

You used the one from 2.10 on the new 2.13 ROM? I just wasn't sure there wouldn't be any issues there

Went to the store today and changed out Sim cards just to try it. Same problem. The rep at the store said that a lot of people were having trouble with the application-even people with blackberries who just got the application for their platform. Who knows? I may try the cab just to give it a whirl. If I try it and subsequently uninstall it, I imagine it'll revert to my .13 application which is hard cooked into the rom right?
*update*
I tried the .10 cab and it worked fine. The icon was slightly different, but otherwise worked fine. Tmobile help (purple question mark icon) still wouldn't work, but the my account does. Thanks

I never tried to use that app before, so I went ahead and gave it a try. I got an error right away. I just did a soft reset and then it worked. YMMV.

Still require TMOUS 2.13.531.1 "My Account" CAB
I've just installed the T-mobile "My Account" Application from the previous thread (Leo_MyAccount.cab - MyAccount 2_9_2_5_87341_0 according to the CAB xml) on FroyoStone sense V2, and I get the guy holding the phone and the message "The My Account application will be downloaded shortly" message for both Help and My Account apps. It worked fine on the stock TMOUS ROM 2.13.531.1.
I assume this CAB is a backrevved version? What is the fix for this, or does someone have the real CAB from the 2.13.531.1 ROM?

opera

hi all,
for no reason i know opera has stopped working, it comes up 'invalid signature'
how can i fixed this other than a factory reset?

no one had this problem?

I read your post yesterday...but there's something that's missing....does this happened abruptly? Did you just flashed a new ROM? What version of Opera do you have? have you tried another version to see of ot works? What kind of connection are you using? 3G, Edge, WiFi etc...

its the pre installed opera on the bottom slide bar.
it just happened, used to work, now it doesnt. no rom changes, dunno how, lol. nothing changed.
cant use it on wifi or 3g etc...

Is this a stock ROM? Have you tried installing another version to see if it works? Have you hard re-seted your phone? That may help

I had a similar to this.
I installed a version of Opera 9.7 to try and get the 'FixOperaFlash' thing working, and it seemingly kept uninstalling itself, plus I couldn't then open the stock Opera 9.? on my Vodafone UK 1.72 ROM.
I'm now using Opera 10 and getting on just fine with it.
