YouTube does not login says Connection Error - There was a connection error trying to login.
I thought it would be nice to automatically upload the videos to YouTube but going to settings and data services then choosing YouTube it insists there is a connection problem but I surf just fine and am always connected to 3g. anyone knows what is the problem? Thanks.
yeah same problem on mine hd2 when i'm trying to upload video directly from albums i get the same message, looking for answer for whole day - still nothing...any ideas guys?
I had the same problem when trying to log into the facebook data sync feature when I first got the phone. Basically I think your problem is that your youtube password has symbols in it, because my old facebook password had symbols in it when I tried to log in it would say "connection error" but then if I tried to log in with an incorrect password it said "incorrect password" so I changed my facebook password so it was just letters and numbers and it worked on the first time I tried,
hope this helped you,

Nope that is not the problem, I changed my password to 8 chars digits only still doesn't work at all. I gotta say this is my 4th and probably last HTC device. There are always irritating bugs in HTC software in most basic features. Damn it, the YouTube login is an internal feature of HTC software and even that doesn't work, these guys are really something. What's the use in having features if I cannot use them like the youtube, which woule have been nice uploading videos directly to YouTube.

Calm down mate. It works perfectly for me and everyone else most of the time. Occassionaly, there will be an issue with the YouTube servers that stops the app functioning fully. It's nothing to do with the app or HTC, so get onto YouTube and complain to them, because that's where the problem is. Otherwise, it wouldn't be intermittent. It just wouldn't work, or it would.
mine has never worked

There are similar complains about the YouTube account access not working in many other forums, mostly from users who have switched to 1.66 ROMs. As a matter of fact, it does not work for me either through the settings tab/data services.
On the other hand, I can easily log into my YouTube account through Opera...
can you upload through opera?

i dont have t-mobile and when i started my HD2 for the first time i also got that error.. after rom upgrade to 1.66 the same.. my password is only letters and 1 number so that cant be the problem.
johncmolyneux please get your facts right.
It is NOT a problem with youtube and it didn't work for the past 3 days. So I doubt it's a problem with their servers don't you think?
Also see what others are saying like Tomo1340 which says it never worked for him also. tictac0566 says the same thing and also jamieeeee. So I am not hallucinating and this is not a very specific problem.
It's just another bug by HTC. I can't believe these guys, when they release a new ROM they fixed some issues and then create others. Amazing, how such an apparent bug missed their eyes. In which from their very own app trying to login to YouTube doesn't work.
It would have been very nice to able to capture a video and instantely upload it to the YouTube through the camcorder app, wouldn't it?
May I also say that I have two HD2, one for me and one for my wife. I have tested it after hard reset with no app installed at all and it still doesn't work! Amazing.. By the way, I am not using T-Mobile and my password is just 8 digits.

Fine. Good luck with your anti-HTC campaign. I DID get my facts right and you simply didn't like it.
Think I'll go and upload some vids to YouTube now. Bye
there is a problem though, I hadn't managed to upload a single file or even connect on any of the roms I have used. my password is 12 characters with no symbols. is one supposed to login with a google email address that's linked to YouTube or a user name?
The Youtube function in Sense just doesn't work at all. You'd better simply use the browser.
john says his works. you can email the files through but I don't know how well it works.
Like I said, it's fine for me. It may be a provider issue, but it's definitely not HTC software at fault here.

doesn't work over WiFi for me.
It does not work with me either. Whenever I try to upload to youtube it says there is some connection error. Using opera to login to youtube works like a charm.
My password is very long (more than 20 characters) and I think that this could be the problem. But I do not want to change my password, because it's the same password as for gmail and I have set this account on multiple computers and on the HD2.
The way around is to use email - YouTube -> My Account -> Account Settings -> Mobile Setup. There you can find a unique email address to which you can send the video. Just add that email address as a contact and send the video to it when you want to upload to youtube. Works perfectly...
works fine for me on everyrom I've tried..
I suspect it's an isp blocking thing, maybe a proxy interfering.
Hey guys
After a long while, I wanted to upload a video again from my HTC HD2.
So I recorded the video, and decided to upload it to YouTube, when I did go to my Album, and then 'Share' and then 'YouTube' and then clicking on the video, and then clicking 'Next', then my I get an error.
HTCAlbum.exe crashes.
I already tried to hardreset, and reïnstalling my ROM, but the problem still appears.
Later I saw that in Data Services in the settings of HD2, that the YouTube service is not slided on, when I logged in, it was still not going on.
Does anyone know how to fix this? or does anyone have this problem too?
Since a few days I also have the problem that my camera won't start randomly, it tells me 'Could not initialize camera' or something like that.
I dont know if this problem is in connection with the problem that I just explained above, but maybe someone knows a solution for this too.
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon
Anyone a clue?
I also have the same problem

So... this could be the same problems as there was with the Twittertab?
YouTube changed something in their servers, and now we can't login anymore?
The twitter thingy has been solved, but not YOuTUBe

Yea I knew that, it was very annoying when Twitter didnt work.
Now I dont use YouTube uploading too much, but I use it sometimes, and it is a feature of the phone, so I want it working
I think it has something to do with your account login settings but how to change those I am not sure! I know mine are wrong because I signd in with the wrong account and it kept saying temporarily unavailable when i tried to upload so i went to upload it from my pc and i realized my error. i am now trying to find out how to change the login settings to my real account info but i may just have to hard reset which sucks because i have so many tweaks so if anyone knows how to change the youtube account login info on the hd2 please let me know [email protected]

I think it is not my account, because it just worked fine before.
But I don't use my HD2 that much anymore, so I don't care about this problem anymore
its something with the uploader or the service.
I am using stock sprint rom 6.5 on my Touch Pro 2. clean install uploader works flawlessly. after so many uploads or so many days it stops working.
it uploads 100% then says failed service temporarily unavailable. FOREVER.
if I hard reset the phone it works again for a short time then stops again forever.
so "something" is "changing" that is "undone" when you hard reset.
suggestions? I REALLY REALLY like being able to click and upload using the web browser is enough of a pain in the ass that I would simply not do it any more.
Hey all,
I have the new market youtube version om my dhd,
and the problem is that every time i try to upload a vid to my youtube.
Either from the gallery, camera or youtube app,
I get the error messages: Failed to retrieve account information
I tried this using wifi and 3g.
I read somewhere to enable multiple logins allowed for the gmail account.
but nothing seems to work.
anybody else have this issue?
some one know what the fix is for this?
SOLVED...
What i did i go to settings - applications - youtube - clear data
go to youtube, go to my channel, it asked me if i wanne use my already configured gmail.com account,
i selected add account,
did only the username without @gmail.com
and now it didnt give me the error and is uploading my test vid.
No body has this problem?
Do you have an account on youtube?
In my case, I'm using the preinstalled youtube player on the device. When I upload, the first time it asked for my login which it accepted. Now, when I click upload nothing happens, no error, nothing. No movie appears on youtube
I use my gmail account for youtube.
I used this on my moto milestone and it worked just fine.
but now it doesnt on my desire hd..
On second thought, I'm having the same problem as you, the "Failed to retrieve account information" error.
I found this solution, but a hard reset isn't worth it for me. Any other solution?
Hmm ok....
So cant we do this all without hard resetting?
anyway.. nto gonne do this.
waiting for a nice good custom rom,
and then might try it.
I *think* I just found a solution. Here's what I did:
I previously signed in with my gmail account linked to youtube, so I used "[email protected]" as a username. After that, it also showed up in my account list in android. It wasn't there before, since I use a different gmail account for my e-mail and calendar syncing. I also noticed that when going into the youtube app and clicking on My account, it would hang.
So, I deleted that account from the account list in android. I then went into the youtube app and readded my account information there (since it was obviously gone, as I deleted the account from android). But, I didn't use [email protected] as username but only myname, so without the @gmail.com.
Then, the youtube app would directly show me my previously uploaded videos and so on. Afterwards, I went into the android gallery, chose a video, share > youtube, and now it's uploading without a problem.
In my case I could remove the account without problems, since I don't use it for calendar, contacts etc. I don't know what you'd have to do if you do use it for that. Somehow you'd have to change the username to remove @gmail.com I think.
Let my know how this works for you...
Just to be sure..
You deleted the gmail account from your phone right?
Not just specificly youtube?
I do use calendar and contacts ect but they sync with gmail.
so should not be a problem.
Where did you remove the account?
Menu - settings - accounts & sync - google
??

Correct. I deleted the google account, that in my case only applies on logging into youtube from the accounts list > Menu - settings - accounts & sync - google.
Successssss!!!!

jeeej,...
Bedankt voor de hulp!
Dit is een stuk handiger dan een hard-reset
Great! And thanks for adding the extra information.
Groeten!
does anyone else get the "cannot upload files larger than 1GB" error even though your file is WELL under 1GB? I'm testing it right now, but I think files under 100mb will work. Is this a broken error? any fixes?

can you upload very small vids?
or do you get the error with every size?
hello. I tried that as well, but my device automatically adds the @gmail.com after my username. Once I confirm, it states that this account is already added (which it is). I can access all my videos and favorites, but I cannot upload.
Just wondering if anyone can answer my question here. I've tried contacting WP7 a few times (politely I may add) over the various social media means, without any success...
Just trying to figure out if we will be able to upload videos from our WP7 to FB, internet, youtube, etc... when Mango is finally released?

you are able to upload your video to skydrive and facebook on mango beta2
Hub extensions
I hope the upload/share possibilities are extendable like they are for photos, so a mango youtube app can extend videos to allow to directly upload to youtube.
i wanted to add the mobile youtube video upload email adress so i can send to youtube trough an email, but most movies are too big to attach so that's a no-go.
really hope the mango version of the youtube app will extend uploads to youtube, too. (and upload to home server, and upload to what ever other site.. upload to vimeo anyone?)
I've tried uploading a video to Facebook in mango. I'm logged in, chat working and whatnot, but it just says uploading may take a while, then almost done. Facebook says no videos uploaded though... Any ideas?
Okay, so about an hour later I get a message from YouTube saying it couldn't process my video, I'm assuming its because it was in 720?
Aaaand now it's showing up, just delayed I guess but don't know why it gave me an error

Your set age on your youtube account might be too low (Make sure it's above 18).
If it doesn't work, wait 24 hours. That worked for a some people in a few forums I've read just now.
This might also be happening because of the country you're in.
I'm in Canada and some videos are blocked for me at times, so this is just a wild guess.

Same as what she said, but it usually is a server error with that problem. This means that basically you either take a wait and see approach or contact Youtube.
Thanks
