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?

iMusic

Hi, for those that aren't aware, Android has a nice app called "iMusic", where you search songs, and download them directly to your phone. I tried searching for a winmo. version but couldn't fine one .
I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar app, or a port version of it. Thanks!

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?

Screencast or similar?

I apologize if this has come up before, I did search and didn't find anything. I'm looking for a tool that I can remotely control my phone via my windows desktop. I use my phone all day at work listening to music, etc...
I've downloaded the latest release of screencast, and am able to see my phones screen, but no keyboard/mouse input is working so I still have to control the phone from the screen on the phone.
It appears that other people are having the same issue with this app. Anyone got the screencast app working properly on the vibrant or have any other suggestions for different apps?
Thanks,
Jeremiah

What do you mean you downloaded the lastest version of Screencast? I dont see an app called Screencast in the market, only an app that accesses ScreenCast Online videos called ScreenCastsOnline.

Yep, device is rooted, other people are having the same issue. there are some work arounds other's are using, but didn't work for me. I just tried out vnc server for android and that worked ok, but no landscape mode. And I have to wake up my phone from the screen after it went out to be able to do anything with it, which defeats the purpose for me.
I guess I'll keep searching, the vncserver for android is pretty sweet though.

Been trying to get this, and droid explorer to work all day, with very little luck :/

Facebook>?

Has anyone been able to find a way to make Facebook update properly on the HD2 these days?
I cannot see any of my recent wall posts, photos etc.
Thanks.

I've also been having this same problem. I had to log out and re-log back in to refresh the updates. I don't know why it's been doing this.

log out log in again every time you want it to update or you can use the client build into the browser. Been fudged up for a few weeks now

Logging in and out does not seem to work for me oddly enough.
Seems like such a simple program.
I know they are working on new security, interfaces, certificates and the like, but...really...this is as rudimentary a facebook experience as one can get and I find it very strange that it has not been addressed with an update in the marketplace.
Glad to see that some others here have had their troubles start with this around the same time I did.
No, not happy for your woes...just nice to know I am not alone!

Install the version NOT from the Marketplace or the one that came preinstalled on the HD2. Its the same version according to about, but for some reason, this version for me has been working fine for around a week where as the others won't update and haven
t updated for me for almost a month.

I appreciate the heads-up, but where is this version "not from the marketplace" to be found?

You can get it directly from Facebook, or from Windowsmobile.com.

can you post the facebook cab you are using?

Yeah why not? Get it while its hot!

this is an older version of the app.. the current version is 1.1.0.17

Well that is the latest version that I could find. Its the same as the one here..but the functionality is basically the same despite the version number.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx

the version off of the market place is 1.1.0.17 the one on the phone was older than that by a long shot as it was 1.0.0.0.7 or something like that

Which is very true, but they both offer the same features and functionality so the version differenece seems prettty trivial to me.

while the features are similar the PQ is loads better on the new app....no more low res crap pix.......

does installing this version fix the refreshing issue or no??

Nothing seems to fix it. The ONLY way I can get on Facebook on my HD2 now, is to use XDA-Facebook...which is a better application anyway in my opinion. I think the problem is with Facebook itself, not the app but I cannot confirm this.

From what I've read it's a Microsoft issue. FB changed some **** and Microsoft has yet to develop an update to make their facebook app work with facebook. I guess FB let Android, Iphone, etc know the changes were coming and Microsoft just doesn't care about our Winmo 6.5 software enough to work on it. There are some threads on the internet about this where people are wigging the hell out over it. Saying they will never buy another winmo phone because of it. It's kinda funny.
The FB app on my phone hasn't worked for over a month. Do I care? Not that much. The FB app on my iphone 2G works just fine.

Ditto. The Facebook app has never worked for me. As soon as I enter my user information the app will update my news feed, photos, and status ONCE. Ever since, I have found that the mobile version of FB is excellent for what I need. I it doubt that the app will ever be updated.
