Hi,
I have seen the problem mentioned on many forums but I still havent found an answer. I recently have bought an HD2 on TMobile and cannot get any videos playing on it as it always says that I need the latest version of flash, yet when I try to donwload it doesnt work. I spoke to Tmobile and they seemed unsure as to why it wasnt working and suggested I download Flash lite, but the link they gave me doesnt work.
Does any one know how I can get round this, ideally without doing anything that will invalidate the warranty. I have managed to get Iplayer working though.
How are you trying to watch the videos? Full flash support isn't available on Windows Mobile devices to date. I currently have the HD2 on WinMo as well. The best solutions (I believe) to date are;
1) Skyfire Browser.
Skyfire have just released a version of their browser for VGA devices which looks fantastic. This includes full flash and silverlight support. The only downside is that as the website is loaded on a seperate server and condensed the image quality isn't as good as it could be. Also there isn't a landscape mode. Which is a pain for watching video!
You can get Skyfire Browser here.
2) Youtube app.
The VGA app designed for the HD2 is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, Tmobile, in all their wisdom took the application off the HD2 before shipping. Fortunately you can install the program manually here. You will need to extract the CAB file from the RAR file before running on your phone.
3) Myplayer.
I know you have said you have Iplayer working but for others...
If you have the fantastic Coreplayer installed you can use the Myplayer app to stream BBC Iplayer. You can also stream from ITV Player and Five on Demand but you would need to pay Myplayer for the server fees. The quality is reasonable and watchable but not crisp and clear. You can download Myplayer here.
Hope this helped.
Dan.
Opera doesn't support flash but IE on HD2 does support flash. With IE, the flash experience depends on the complexity of the site.

in my experience some sites work, some don't. euro gamer tv didn't work even on ie. I had assumed this was down to the fact that flash lite isn't full desktop flash. am I wrong to assume this? should pretty much all embedded video work? im also on t mobile but I have the you tube ap, and I got the phone from mobiles.co.uk so I think my handset is unlocked...
oh and I typed all this on my phone using the swype keyboard
i installed the youtube app on my tmobile phone and it conflicts with my recorded videos i'v shot, as in they dont play, i uninstalled youtube and they play fine. anyone else had this problem? if so is there a fix? thanks.

I had the same problem and as far as I know there isn't a fix.
I got round it by flashing ROM 1.48 on to my T Mobile via the goldcard method and so now have a "clean" sim free HD2 and able to flash new ROM's when they become available.
The you tube app is there and also jetcet printer which T Mobile removed along with the trial of co-pilot

didnt really want to flash my phone, read a lot of threads with people having issues with roms. mine doesnt seem to have none of the issues or problems wot i read on xda with my stock tmobile rom, apart from the slight pinkiness on photos, must of got that 1 in a 1000 what seems to be running fine lol, so i`m a bit cautious whether to flash my phone or not, i really miss the youtube app though, i used to use it quite a lot on my diamond2. might just sit it out a bit longer an see if anyone comes up with a fix, fingers crossed lol
Does anyone have solution for this problem? My HTC HD2 from T-Mobile isn't playing youtube videos usign Internet Explorer application. I want to know if there is any solution to be able to watch youtube videos on Internet Explorer!
PS: I'm using another operator at the momen, not T-Mobile(I unlocked my phone)
the people here always have a solution...

as for youtube/t-mobile - flash a different rom. as long as you get a copy of your stock rom as a precaution it would seem highly unlikely that you can brick the phone

If you have installed BSB tweaks 1.6 (which you should ) you can set Skyfire to rotate to landscape mode.
Tmobile always have to make their phones ****ter somehow! they either put on **** themes or remove apps and features!
I can say however, my tmobile hd2 has been working pretty well, apart from it not playing videos because of me installing youtube!
I'm just wondering if there is anyone who does not have a tmobile hd2 who also has an issue with their video playback from installing youtube?
Which Rom is recommended? how is htc's rom on their website? Will it restrict me loading it being a tmob customer?

I don't think this issue will apply to non tmobile users as its only tmobile who've removed the YouTube app. god knows why!!! I really don't understand it at all!!! I really miss the YouTube app but don't want to flash my phone. come on guys someone must know how to figure this out?? please...... pretty please!! lol
Hello all. just got my hd2 a few days ago from t mobile, and as a lot of you found out the you tube app has been removed so have been looking for a fix.
have downloaded the you tube app from here but it killed my outher videos as well
so then on a random idea while googleing i found the page telling me download from (edit cant post urls wwwDOTmDOTgoogleDOTcoDOTuk/youtube) and then it told me it was un suported.
but when i went into internet explorer and put the same url in. it downloaded a totaly diffrent app for you tube. is a bit more basic then the outher one but it plays vids and i am still able to play the vids on my phone
I hope this will help some outhers out as a short term till t-mobile gives back the full app
have u called tmobile to check your content lock is off? the content lock prevents sites loading that tmobile consider adult sites. this includes facebook and youtube! sometimes its removed at sign up if you speak to a person, but if you do it online (or over the phone sometimes) its set to be on and has to be removed. im not quite sure why tmobile force contract users (who have to be over 18 in the UK) to have a content lock.

is there a way to get my ''htc HD2 youtube player'' back
maby its a known issue with the stock HD2 youtube player ??
( srry my english )
i really need help can some1 upload the orriginal HD2 youtube player plz ??
and if i do a soft reset the ''stock'' youtube player wil come back ??
bump............
I did a factory restore on my HD2 in the settings menu and it brought back my stock youtube client.
I downloaded the google youtube player from m.google.com, I decided to uninstall it however it took the whole youtube client away even the stock one.
So I had to do a soft reset to get it back to the original.
Basically it just resets your phone back to when you got it when you first bought it.
good luck.
I too got my youtube app overwritten by the crappy downloadable one.
Can anyone post the stock app as .cab?
Thanks
Yes a stock youtube .cab would be great for us on T-Mobile as we do not have it on there Rom
Is it possible to rip apps from a rom file?
bump........

I did exactly the same stupid thing to install the cab from m.youtube.com and lost the original one on my HD2.

HI GUYS
I JUST FACED A PROBLEM WITH MY FRIEND'S FACEBOOK PAGE IN OPENING A VIDEO HE UPLOADED IT
AND WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT IT ASKS ME FOR FLASH PLAYER AND I DOWNLOADED THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER AND CHECK THE VIEO AGAIN BUT NOTHING CHANGED THE VIDEO CANT BE OPENED
NEEED UR HELP GUYS
Easiest way would be to find the caps lock and press it once and then use internet explorer or skyfire instead.
LOL, nice, I know there is a way to get it running in opera 9.7 but I don't wanna mess up my opera. Having flash on the opera already installed would be the best because it's the fastest browser and has the best pinch to zoom. Ohwell, I would love to just get the opera on the device to see the youtube page as the mobile version so when someone sends me a youtube video link, It will open the youtube app instead of nothing from opera. Sure, you can make IE the default browser and get this but there is no pinch zooming with IE. Ohwell.
Thank u friend so much for ur help
but
is there another way to enable flash to opera
because the topic is all the way on top anyways....where is the fix for opera browser?
Is there any solution

I used it but it doesnt fixed my problem
Does this kill the pinch zoom on the HD2 browser? Anyone get it to work with the HD2?
very interesting, might try this myself. anyone got this working on hd2 yet?
I also tried it several days ago and I disabled it after installing.
The problem is (after disabling it is o.k. again) that for example none of the youtube movies worked for me. And also the has been some flickering in the upper third of the screen while zooming and scrolling. That has been the worst issue!
the patch does not work well at all.... is a waste of time patching....
just live with it for the time being i guess....
it does work
it worked fine for me on 3 different roms so it is probably worth a try for any of you people who are undecided on it. (and it is really easy to do too)
youtube and loads of other flash sites work, however facebook videos do not work for me.
Thinking of getting the HD2 for T-Mobile. I had the unlocked GSM version in the past and put custom ROM's on it. I played with the HD2 at my local T-Mobile store the other day and I noticed that if you get a link sent to you for a youtube link, the opera will not re-direct it to the youtube app like it did in my custom ROM. In short, is there a way to make this happen on the stock T-Mobile ROM? Reg edit or something? I get youtube links sent to me all the time and as of now, opera just tells me that I'm missing something to play it rather than re-direct to the youtube app. I know that IE will do it but I don't use IE as my default browser. It's slower and no pinch & zoom.

what was your cooked ROM that did this?
Zenkinz'S rom DOES it. His ROM's are very good with some minor adjusting. I would normally slap his ROM onto a t-mobile HD2 but I wanted to give the t-mobile ROM a chance. Here is the link to his ROM. His is the ONLY one that does this properly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621699
Again, you can use opera and click on any youtube link video and it will launch the youtube app to play it. Very nice!
Can anyone figure this out? Any chefs know the recipe?

Why not ask zenkinz how it's done? I doubt it comes under the heading of national security, so he may tell you
Personally, I use Opera 10 (no pinch-to-zoom, but no text reflow either). Once plugins are enabled you can watch youtube vids in the browser, or click the fullscreen button. It's just as good as the app for viewing.
I use m.youtube, which when tap "watch video" opens htc youtube app
curious if there's a solution to this too
The only reason i ask is because if im browsing around Facebook and someone posts a youtube link, clicking it goes to Youtube.com in Opera where flash doesnt work.
So having a way to click a youtube link and for the Youtube app to open up would be useful

I notice that some ROMS and even stock ROMS will do it and some will not. I tried it on 3 different stock T-Mobile HD2's and none loaded the youtube app from the opera browser. Even if it was from m.youtube.com.

Does opera 10 replace the built in opera 9.7 on the HD2? Or can you use both.
I guess no one has found a solution?
Zenkin's rom does open it in the Youtube app, but it doesn't seem to open the same quality video as it would if you tried it directly via the app itself.
Kumar's rom doesn't have this function, the Touch Xtream does. However the Kumar rom runs circles around the Touch rom regarding both speed and stability. I would try Zenkin's rom, but it's running the older version of WM with the buttons x button on the top. Anyone know of a rom that is both fast, stable, on WM 25559 and does youtube links???
How about if you do not want to change the rom on phone ? can you get a direct link to youtube to pull up the app instead of the website ? that would be ideal. I currently am using a US tmobile hd2. its kind of annoying to not be able to watch videos that were texted to me. any help would be greatly appreciated !
After asking this question in a number of times, I figured it out to a point.
Make this change to the registry. It's the same tweak for the BBC iPlayer.
HLKM/Software/Opera/Prefs/User Prefs/Custom User-Agent
Change from HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) to HTC_Touch_HD_T8282
Embedded links on webpages such as Engadget still don't show. Links do show up on google and will play from the app. So not a complete fix, but better then nothing for now.
Has anyone tried to use flash on a website yet?
i have and it works but runs slowly
u should try making post like this just one full post....
what were u veiwing and how fast is your internet connection?
I know when i access any site its smooth and crisp including youtube and vimeo i'm on a 30/30 Fiber connection really fast but this is only site which lags for me
i think part of the issue is software related....some times the browser is really smooth and sometime its begins to act up...I think we will see improvements when we get our first update....at least I hope so.

Have you installed the latest version of flash (10.2) from the market?
I installed Flash 10.2 and can comfortably watch the desktop version of NHL Gamecenter Live
Flash has been choppy for me on some anime sites.
no issues here......getting the market version is a must.....the included version was hit or miss
Hi all!
I'm new to the Wp7 world and i'm very liking it
On my device I've got android before (hd2), and now Wp7, my question is about Youtube videos:
in pre-noDo update (I tested it like 4 months ago) I was able to watch youtube videos in browser, simply using the Microsoft youtube app, and setting my region in USA;
Now with NoDo, even using the USA location and region, and installed youtube app...Youtube videos embeded asks for flash (pre-Nodo will show a play button that calls the youtube app)
How can I fix this?
I searched already, all fixes refers to pre-NoDo OS and the only fix found is to set my region to USA (wich I already did)...
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

I hope mango is full of awesomeness xD with HTML5 no need of a client app...

I use the standard HTC you tube, but there is a lot more in the Market place? Maybe one for you?
I use lazytube and its awesome!
It is almost identical to the new youtube client in android!
The only problem for me is to watch them in the browser, as it very annoing to have to search on the app a video, so I have to exit browser and all...
up!
hoping for solutios D:
I think it's because youtube has updated it's imbedded youtube player thingy. If you find and OLD youtube video at lets say pocketnow, it will still play.
Try this url on your phone:
http://m.pocketnow.com/android/verizon-htc-thunderbolt-hands-on-video
Alright it worked...
So it's YouTubes fault... Hoping they upgrade youtube plugin fast... Or release ie9 before mango lol xD
