Hey people,
Does anyone have problems accessing youtube videos from HD?
Whenever I open the default you tube application, I get a Connection error message and I cannot view any videos.
But I can sign in to youtube from the account manager.
I have not been able to find any solution for this..
Any help will be appreciated..
Thanks

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.

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?
For some reason the browser refuses to load any pages while using 3G, the "working circle" moves but nothing happens. It works perfectly using WLAN and everything else works in 3G, mail, Google maps, calendar, youtube etc.
What's wrong? Just made a factory reset but the problem still exist.
Where are you located at? When I imported an unlocked phone from the U.K. to the U.S. i remember i had to call tech support to get them to walk me thru the steps in setting up my phone to work with the internet.
I found the solution. For some reason the proxy settings doesn't work in the original browser. Using Steel it works perfectly. Deleted the proxy settings and now the browser wants to play
I have had exactly the same problem. Removed the proxy address, and now working fine.... very strange!
Hello,
it seems the stock Youtube application cannot connect? Both browsers (Opera and IE) are working fine, but when Youtube application is launched (either manually, or by a link in IE), it searches for connection for a while ("Downloading..."), then it says it cannot connect ("There was a connection error while attempting to download data. Retry?")
I am using 3G connection - is it maybe that youtube application works only over wifi (I kind of remember something like that...)
Thank you.
Fixed it... legacy ATT user here, needed to add proxy settings
My 7.7 cannot load the following web page using WI-FI at home:
WWW.TVCatchup.com (when I type it into the address bar and press return)
I've also tried linking to the page froma the result of a google search but that doesn't work either.
I've tried several browsers but it always says "web page not available"
I can load the page using my laptop or Note so nothing wrong with my Internet connection.
I think this problem is related to my TVCatchup app not working for I also cannot load the iphone.tvcatchup.com page either.
I'm really stumped on this problem and would be grateful for any ideas
I have downloaded the Ping & DNS app from the Google Play store and used that to test TVCatchup.com and it could not Ping it and I've done a route trace to show where it failed.
I also Pinged Google.com and I attach my 7.7 screen shots to show the results.
So it seems my 7.7 is ok but there is a problem reaching TVCatchup
I would be grateful for any ideas where to go now.
Where in the world are you?
I believe Tvcatchup is UK only. Whne I first ran it , it identified my ISP (Virgin) and confirmed the service was available. Then went on to flawlessly stream to my wifi only Tab.

I live in the UK and I can use TVCatchup on my Note.
I attach the traces from my failed 7.7 and successful Note.
It does look like the trace fails when it reaches UK servers.
So my 7.7 not only cannot get the TVCatchup app from the Play store to work, but as can be seen from the attached pictures it cannot even access the TVCatchup website.
SUCCESS
I changed the router and that fixed the fault. It is strange that the original router worked with my laptop and Note but not the 7.7.
To public WiFi like in Walmart I'm a able to connect to it but then I get this message on my browser when trying to search for something?
I tried turning it off and on but still have the same problem. My brothers were able to connect and browse just fine.

Does it work in Chrome?
The wifi is trying to redirect your phone to the signin page, but your browser sees it as a security problem and blocks it. There are a number of potential solutions to try. If you google for something like "open wifi popup can't connect" and similar to that, more will come up.
--Try temporarily disabling popups in Opera and get it to work.
--Clear the cache for Opera.
--For alternate browsers, try searching for something in Chrome and see if it redirects to the login page for you. Using Dolphin set to "Desktop" (vs. Mobile) may also work.
--Alternatively, when the login page comes up for your brothers, make a note of it and type it into Opera.
