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!!!!
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 like you sayd only the username without @gmail.com
and now it didnt give me the error and is uploading my test vid.
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.
I have a problem with facebook photos upload.
When i click on share on fackbook. The message box show
pictures are not upload...
I have sign in facebook on my phone already. But no live accounts.
Or i need live account active first?
Thank
the same problem persists for me.i even have my phone activated and have a working live ID.
maybe no one, can answer us?
well the function does work as im using it without bother, so it is either a carrier issue, facebook issue or something not setup on your phone right.
assuming you have internet access without the USB cable attached or wifi on then you can rule out carrier, facebook issues would need another phone to try, but its unlikely it would be persistant, more likely a temp glitch that should fix its self in a hour or so.
that leaves phone issues
again, assuming you have internet on your phone, id try removing that facebook pish app from the market, then remove your link to facebook on your phone, hold push to get delete option. restart and then relink your facebook account.
Next see if you have access to facebook details on your phone, friends, news wall etc, again do this without wifi or USB, use your carrier. Finally try uploading a small low quality pic and see what happens

I'm having the same issue right now. Happened when I switched roms. Tried unlinking Facebook and restarting phone but still won't work. Worked perfectly before. Also won't show my Facebook albums in my pic albums anymore. Any other ideas?

Did you just restart your phone or was it a hard reset? I tried unlinking and restarting my phone, but it didn't help.
Gotta bump this up again, would really like to find a solution to this.
when I select multiple pic and click share through picasa it always say fail to retrive account information. Never have this issue with any phone before. This is my first blur phone. Please help if any one experience the same issue.

Nope, cant see existing album. It can't only be just 3 of us that have this issue. Is something wrong with our phone?
I have the same problem as the original poster.
Since I got the S4 I noticed I haven't been able to upload pics to Facebook from my phone.
Does anyone else the same situation?
Thanx!
EDIT: I just found out I can't upload thru the app but I can upload thru the phone browser.
