I have the same issue via t-mobile , conect ok via usb pc, who is your 3g service provider

I know in the UK, t-mobile class youtube as adult content. And by default the adult content lock is in place on everyones data service. If you phone t-mobile customer services they can remove this lock for you

I know that vodafone class practically ANY site as potential adult content and you have to get the lock taken off. Perhaps this is the case here too as suggested above? hope it's that simple mate.

Thanks for your help guys..
But I am in switzerland and I use my WiFi connection at home to connect.
Even then the youtube player gives an error.
My HD is not under any contract so I guess no one has locked any stuff on the phone.
The surprising thing is it logs on to my youtube account when I use account manager to sign in.
I have been playing aorund trying to find out the problem but success has eluded me till now..lets see if I find the problem I will post it here..

I have the same problem, am on a good wi-fi connection that works when I use Opera for browsing, but I get connection error with the default Youtube player. I have tried soft reset and removed last installed programs, no luck!
Anyone have a solution

Have you edited your proxy settings in Comms Manager so that you do *not* use a proxy to connect?
I had to do this so that i could use the youtube app on T-mobile.
Petrov.

Same problem on Orange UK, regardless of how I connect. It's been like that since I got it.

Thanks for your quick respond!
I have tried to delete all my connections and then set them up again (with no proxy), but still have the same problem. The strange thing is that everything worked when I got the phone.
Is there any connection settings in the Youtube application? I haven`t found any my self....

Hi,
install another youtube player. you can find another player here in the forum. it works.
I don´t have so much knowledge about this, but I had the same problem on my own. I think it is realated to the Flashplayer. So soon if i installed another youtube player, everthing from youtube works fine.

I had the same problem, tried several solutions with no luck. Started to use the other Youtube player, but as you say it`s not that good. The solution for me was to hard reset the device, and now everything works fine!
I am not sure, but I think maybe the problem was that I had installed several media players (TCMP, DivX, CP) and it became a conflict or something, after the hard reset I only have Core Player as media-software installed (+WMP) and all the other software as before the problem.
Good luck!
Petter

Thanx hard reset worker. my voice recorder software works now too thanx for the quick reply

confirmed, i spoke to a fairly knowledgable person in t-mobile support after i was having issues (he didnt even tell me to sod off when i said i wasnt using their firmware)
turns out on t-mobile they have switched to using a transparent proxy but the connection setup on the htc still puts one in, its enough to untick the proxy and youtube/windows live/activesync among other things start working. I havent managed to get skype going yet but i expected that to be blocked

default youtube player connection failed error message
I am having the same problems with my orange mobile contract. It worked for 2 weeks and im not sure what i did but its now giving me a connection failed error message. I cant seem to find any settings in the player or in comms manager. Im going to ring orange and see what they say.

Tronec, Did you get reply from Orange? I have same issue - Opera fine on WiFi and on "phone" but Youtube "Connection Failed"

I tried everything, never got past the error. Flashing a new rom fixed it, along with a whole load of other things.

Have the same problem. The hard reset didn't work for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Skype not working

Hi,
I have recently picked up an Orange SPV M3100. I installed skype 2.2 on it and tried to run it. The login screen comes fine, but when I click on "Sign in", it gives me a pop up saying "Skype needs an internet connection to function. Do you want Skype to connect to the internet through a cellular connection?"
When I click YES, I get "Unable to connect to the internet. Please check your network settings."
My internet through IE works fine on GPRS. It is good speed and works excellent. I am able to use MSN Live as well, but Skype doesn't seem to be working.
I've been through posts - where there have been suggestions to check the proxy settings. But there are no proxy settings in the mobile.
Anyone who can help me out here?? Most posts discussed how easy it is to connect to Skype using GPRS and how easy this works. I have been trying for quiet some time to no avail.
Alternatively, can someone give me an older version of this Skype for PPC, which might work for me??

Saurabh Dubey

HTC Account Manager - does it work for anyone?

At present the HTC Account Manager (settings/connections) allows you to input account details for You Tube (there is a Facebook setting, but it is hidden) However I cannot get my youtube login details to work - and yes I am typing the correct username/password.
All I recieve is the following error
"There was a connection error while attempting to login".
Is anyone else experiencing this?
are you connected to the internet?

no not the facebook one (this has been disabled by HTC), I mean the you tube one - it just wont log on. Has anyone done it sucessfully?
Yes... I was talking about youtube account... I've got the same problem.
I said only... that I've got the problem, also, that I don't see Facebook account.
Works like a charm for me.
Maybe it conflicts with your proxy settings...?

hmm.. strange.
I have original HTC version running on T Mobile UK network.
Anyone else having problems/success?
just got my hd and checked this with o2 sim and it works fine. is it possible to show the facebook account? that would be useful.
think I have figured the problem - you may need to confirm your email address again. log into youtube.com and click on UPLOAD VIDEO - enter a email address, open email, follow link - presto!

X1a having trouble with Skyfire and Live Messenger

I've been trying to get Live Messenger and SkyFire working. Live says "failed to synchronise" followed by a dialogue that says there was a problem and that it may be the service or that I have bad reception. I know both should be fine.
SkyFire just sits there alternately saying acquiring data connection and check flight mode.
I have no idea what to do about these, since all other web apps work fine.
OK tried this:

Indeed it works. I first had to uninstall every messenger installation I already did.
After that I installed http://download.microsoft.com/downl...19-A2B5C0707F36/PPC/WindowsLive_NoIM_0409.cab
And at least I installed http://rapidshare.com/files/135218995/Windows_Live_10.6.39.1300_by_LazaPasi.cab
After I installed both programs, I started messenger, but I couldn't log in, I tried to start Windows Live and in Windows Live there is an option 'Tap here to sign in', and with that one, I could log in to messenger.

Do you connect to the internet through proxyserver?
I tried it at uni today and Live will connect through Wifi, it just doesn't like UMTS. I broke things last time trying to do those methods so I'm just going to use Java ebuddy for 3G messaging (it wouldn't respond to power button, wouldn't sync, etc. ie big problems).
Oh and I've given up on Skyfire for the time being.

Probably you connect to UMTS through a proxyserver and your provider has disabled the ability the run Live correctly. (I know Vodafone does it)

Didn't work at uni through wifi?
I didn't try Skyfire at uni since i haven't felt the need to reinstall it since the reset.
Anyway, what you said was right: the "connects through proxy server" box was ticked, which actually also stopped me getting my pop3 email. I just unticked it and watched as all the magic happened. So the real problem here was my ignorance, which has been the case with every single other problem I've thus far had with my X1.
It is a little bit odd though as before I could get email but not messenger.

BlackBerry Connect Working on Rhodium

I wanted to bring this workaround into its own thread to make sure that people see the great solution posted by c0rnholio -

I can confirm that it works and works well despite some initial installation issues.

Thanks for your workaround and I managed to get my BB Connect working on my Touch Pro 2 and I am using BIS.
Blackberry Connect is Working on HTC TouchPro2
Dear All,
Rejoice HTC TouchPro2 owners. Blackberry connect for working on HTC Touchpro 2 now. Just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4150074&postcount=35 this web-link and you will achieve your intentions.
Can't get it working for long on mine
I have followed the instructions given in the link, and can get BBConnect 106 to work on my TP2, but only for a while ...
The BBConnect 106 loads, I get BES connection, email, contacts, calendar, notes and tasks downloaded ... manage to send and receive a few email, then it all stop ... with some very strange behaviour.
I have tried everything I can think of to get it working consistently, but can't manage it. I get the impression that the BBConnect is being loaded some place where it should be ... not very technical I know, but thats the way it appears.
The TP2 I have is a Hong Kong English Language version ... WWE ... not sure if that makes a difference.
ROM and Radio version ...
The version I have on my TP2 are
ROM 1.19.721.3 (51489) WWE
Radio: 3.44.25.27
And to correct my typo in the previous note, I think the BBConnect is being loaded shmewhere it shouldn't be loaded, which is causing other features and functions of the phone to mis-behave ... as an example, I was unable to search for new networks manually ... lost the Roaming flag on the top of the screen (small triangle sign), was always displaying GPRS connection, even when not connected to the network (so E (edge), or G being displayed ...)
I also tried version 104 of the BBconnect, just to see if it was version 106 specific, but this didn't make a difference.
Apart from that, the phone is close to perfect, for me at least ... particularly like the way the screen blanks when you are making a call and put it close to your ear, then comes alive again when you move it away so you can see it and access it. With the TP, I was always putting calls on hold when I put the phone to my ear ... also like the way the speaker phone is activated automatically when you place the phone face down.
Now if I could only get BBConnect to work, it would be perfect
I did get it working, I couldn't get SetModelID.exe to run with the reg string, I have Memmaid that allows you to set programs to run and I put SetModelID.exe in there and I have email!
Question!
Why use BBConnect for emails? What's wrong with the way the emails are already on the HTC? What is the difference exactly?
Just curious because this sounds interesting.

My company disables sync with Exchange and I can only get work email with Blackberry service. I think it's a common problem.
Yipee mine works too . only problem is sometimes the BB connect tells me radio blocked or in use especially when i use MSN chat or go online with another application on the phone. is there any option i need to tweak ?
BB CONNECT Messenger?
Can BB Messenger be used with BB Connect?
Windows Mobile 6.5 and BlackBerry Connect
Guys, I would like to hear from someone who understands the 6.6 environment whether you think upgrading into WM 6.5 will allow me to still use the BBerry Connect. has anybody tried upgrading a Rhodium and then try the BBerry?

RSACIPHER: I had same problem. could not change Model ID. What is Memmaid and how did that work?
Also
C0RNHOLIO: maybe you should look into why this is happening so that your solution works all the time. Mine is a T-Mobile Rhodium.
Thanks to both
And what about a HTC Rhodium with WM 6.5? Try it but didn't get it.

Are you able to have multiple data streams? Or does Blackberry Connect shutdown when another data stream is present and you have to restart it? I can't seem to get multiple data streams to function on any ROM even with some of the old tricks from the 8525 and Raphael....

I have been running BB on my TP2 on 6.1, 6.5 and 6.51 roms with Sense 2.1 and 2.5. They all work, and no, I cannot have multiple data streams so when I use the browser my BB connect shows no connection. If I disconnect data, sometimes BB automatically connects but generally I have to run BB connect, disconnect and reconnect (so I added a shortcut to it on my programs).
For me, using 6.51 and 2.1 gives the least trouble. I dont know why.
BTW I keep getting reminders that there is a new BB Desktop update (5.01).
good idea on adding the shortcut. I have found that it rarely reconnects and I had to turn off the auto update for the weather or I would start missing emails. I hope someone gets a fix for this soon as this is the perfect email phone...

I have two streams (BB & Contract Internet) running at the same time.
I am on UK Vodafone contract so that probably makes a difference

Having concurrent connections two 2 APNs simulatiously only works for GPRS (as far as I have observed on all my past and current devices).
So if you want to have BBC and Internet at the same time you need to switch to GPRS only and disable auto band switching for 3G. If anyone knows a way to get concurrent connections working on 3G, please post how.
EDIT: The infos in the follwing post should do the job:

Youtube problem

Hi,
I live in Turkey and unfortunatelly youtube is banned by the government. (and yes it is a shame for us) We can only enter youtube by changing dns settings or by using some certain sites such as ktunnel.com. Therefore, i am not able to enter youtube through youtube application on my hd. Is there any way to do that? I mean may be if i change some settings, i will be able to use youtube app. Any luck?
Thanks.

What I did when I was on vacation in China (where youtube is also blocked), was to use a VPN on my computer that connected to my workplace back here in Canada and connected my HD using ad-hoc wifi. You could also use activesync.
But these options all require the use of a host computer.
If you are using your carrier's data connection, perhaps the only way is to use some anonymous proxy like youhide.com to access m.youtube.com in Opera or IE and manually download the videos to view in TCPMP/Coreplayer.
Ideally, it would be best if you could connect to a foreign VPN directly through your HD. I'm not sure if there's any apps.. but this guy seems to have it going on WM5:
http://weblogs.asp.net/jgaylord/archive/2008/06/06/establishing-a-vpn-on-windows-mobile-5.aspx
Anyways, good luck and hope that helps!
i solved the problem thank you very much!!
How did you solve the problem? Share it pls...
