YouTube does NOT login

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,
Alex

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.

[Q] Cannot upload to youtube anymore

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.

Sent from my atrix using XDA App

I tried it out and noticed the same issue. I can't post links yet, so I'll copy paste something I found on google that fixed it
This worked for me on a HTC Desire HD:
1) Delete existing credentials via the process/application manager:
Settings - Applications - YouTube - Clear Data
2) Reset credentials from the YouTube application:
YouTube - my channel - instead of choosing the already configured "gmail.com" account select "add account" and then just enter the username without the "@gmail.com". Password is the same.
After doing this, I just selected the @youtube.com account instead of the @gmail.com at the upload screen and it worked fine.

Oh crap. I have the same issue. happen in youtube and picasa. wtf!!!

Oh wow, thank for the tip. It works

I constantly get the error cannot upload files bigger than 1gb but the files are far smaller than that, happens on any file I try.
Wifi or 3g same thing.
I can connect to the pc and the same files upload fine.
anyone else getting similar?

seriously is it a carrier issue? used to be with AT&T and this stuff happened all the time because of signal issues and that is why we had to leave them. think this might be at least part of the problem for you? I wonder.....

can't be at$t because ill try doing it over wifi and still the same ****

Apparently this is a bug in Android, and should be fixed in Gingerbread, which is a small consolation...
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=18c38016e596b885&hl=en

I've had this problem ever since I got my atrix back in march. Unless the file is 9MB all uploads fail for me. I've seen the following, all on wifi:
the 1GB message for files that are 200MB
for files between 20MB and 100MB the upload will go for 5 min or so, then crap out and retry, go for 5 min, crap out and retry etc etc. After 5 retries I just cancel the upload. A 9MB file will upload fine, but that's a 4 sec video...pretty useless.
it's a youtube app issue, I can upload the same video file to dropbox just fine.

It works mostly, sometimes it does the retry thing but files under 100 mb work for me.

[Q] Youtube Login Problem

Hello all,
Today I have discovered that I cannot upload videos to youtube anymore because there is a login problem with it. From what I have seen this comes from the HTC Sense Account Manager Login that fails to login this.
Anyone having any ideas of why this is happening? Everyone having the same problem or is it working for someone?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

This is not working since November last year for me
One of the many reasons why i use Android now.

it used to work for me....
upgrade to WP7

Any solutions for this? I'm having the same problem. Worked fine until about a week ago but now when I try to upload, it goes thru the motion but hangs at 0% uploaded in the uploader screen. I also don't get the notification at the top of the screen that something is uploaded. When I try to login thru Data Services, nothing happens and the icon stays grayed out. I don't even get a login error message.

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
