Is the YouTube update working fine on your G2? - G2 and Desire Z General

Just trying to get a real count to see how wide spread this issue is.

Working great for me even the hd option

Well, I just had my G2 replaced today from T-Mobile, and to tell you the truth my new G2 has been working better than my pre-release one. Even the hinge is good. Oh, and the new Youtube works great!

Mine kinda freezes up and I have to restart..

It crashed on me the first time I used it after my install. Very troublesome..

Likewise its a major problem with the g2 I checked a lot of the market comments they're saying the same thing so I uninstalled
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Yup....I just tried it, and it crashed
I uninstalled the update and now it's fine. I hope they fix this soon cause I really like the new UI

I just tried it and it lagged the phone when I quit the app. Everything was responding incredibly slowly - about 15 seconds to flip from one launcher page to the next.
I was finally able to execute a power off sequence and reboot the phone. When it was done booting and the widgets had all settled down I tried viewing the same video again (the "I want an iPhone" animated video) and everything was fine until I quit the video and then the phone was wedged again (15 seconds to switch home pages).
Time to uninstall (if my phone ever reboots)...

works fine here

Thanks guys! Looks like it's split pretty evenly for the most part.
One more question for those that visit other parts of xda - heard anything of the same thing happening on other phones?
At this point, it seems like a big issue, I hope t-mobile posts an update soon.

Its google not T-Mobile

I just recently installed the latest version of YouTube and it's working great. Prior to that, it wasn't logging me into my google account but this new one is running fine.

tried the app twice and both times I had to pull the battery out to reboot the phone. Super lag. Uninstalled the update and the stock works great

Either or can do it. T-mobile through an OTA (they've had to do this before for an issue), or the app creator. It all depends on the circumstance. I'm betting the fix will come from tmobile's side though. Not that I would depend on them, I just have a hunch.

Eveything is working fine here. On a side note the people that are having probelms are you logged in?
I remeber back on my g1 I had problems with youtube only when I was sign in
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

hi i didnt want to start a new post but i have a prob with youtube i was going to upload a 4min video from my g2 but it keeps saying you can not upload a video larger than 1gb i know a 4min vid is not over 1g can anyone give me a hand im not new to android so i know something is set wrong are im missing something

Its probably an HD video and Id assume the mobile youtube version does not allow you to upload that large of a file. Your best bet, upload it to your computer and to do it from their.

i cant even find the vid on the phone with my pc how do i get in to the gallery the vid says location unknown and its not showing a file size i took the vid on the g2s camera

yeah.... I dunno, seems like i am lost on how to work this app....? I knew it was a gimmick....
but I do love the phone
Not working for me either. Tried on two different evo.
My moment it never worked....seems to be working fine right now though. First time i shared it force closed. has worked since then
qik.com/munsterrr
I think the Qik network is getting slammed right now, and the program did work on my Moment. I also would say that this is not a gimmick, when the video chat works it'll be pretty sweet.
Yeah the Qik app does work.i was using it earlier and it worked great. I was chatting wit a bestbuy employee that was selling a Evo to a customer.

tomato, tamato..... i may want to pick my nose while I talk to you.... I just cannot really see the reason behind it unless you wanted to say hi to a family member, maybe live too far apart to see them, but then again I am getting old and may very well be missing something
What I did was download it thru my g1 and pulled the file to my computer then put it on my evo SD and installed it using astro it worked after a reboot its really nice.

SKYPE at last!!

Skype finally made it to Android and Legend in particular. Haven't tested it with voice calls yet. Now, maybe GTalk will follow?
I've tested it a bit and it even works on EDGE. I couldn't believe that myself but it does.
Link
Hmm... Just seeing the list of permissions it requires confirms I'll stay away from this one as I did from the PC version.
Oh well I lived without it so far without any problem, this won't change
edit: and for a 2.1 stock legend, that's also a pretty big app to install!
Now, maybe GTalk will follow?

Gtalk is a stock app on Android. Or i'm missing your point?
Tested Skype for few mins, seems to work fine. Great sound quality, but... It's so heavyweight and there is no option to shut it down COMPLETELY. Lastly, my phone went offline (which newer happened before) so i just uninstalled it and already forgot. Bloatware.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
It froze my phone twice, had to reboot several times... This release of Skype makes Legend unusable, at least my Legend.

Can someone please post the Skype.apk file.
The Skype download for Android link doesn't work.

If you use Market Access, you can gain entry to it.
I did this and downloaded the app, however, i keeps crashing within seconds of me running it. Any idea why?
When I try to sign in, it instantly says try again later, seems like it doesn't even try to sign me in. Any earthlings having the same problem?
Works fine on my phone.

Skype works on my phone so far. However I do see a lot of comments that say the login fails after a while.
EDIT: Spoke too soon... Skype just crashed, and now I can't sign in either

We are looking for "Shut that f**k off COMPLETELY" option, no just to sign out. Even when you are signed out it uses quite a lot of resources.

New Youtube App

Don't know if this has been posted, but there's a new official YouTube app on the market and it's leaps and bounds better than the old one. Definitely worth the update.

I am stock...anyone know how to get the upgrade...I am on version 1.6.21
Edit: never mind....even though it's a pre-installed app and doesn't show in Market as a downloaded app (and thus no upgrade notification is available), you just go into Market, search for Google Youtube and install it like a new app. The pre-installed app will be upgraded.

You would think that if you searched for YouTube which is owned by Google, on the Market, which is also owned by Google, it would be the first one listed. Nope, it is the 9th.
Does anyone have youtube 1.6 apk. The new youtube 2.0 is nice but doesn't let me use youtube ripper. Thanks
new UI is nice but it still sucks at streaming with Froyo... constantly getting "There was a problem playing the video"

I rebooted and found it. My market is weird sometimes. The market is a mess and disorganized.

Are we still not able to comment on videos or am I missing something?
Just updated now...lovely UI, I like that you can just swipe left/right to view other tabs while video plays. HQ seems more, well, HQ too.
searched "You tube" and it was the first app that it showed...
Much better!! Before I couldnt watch half of the videos. Now everything plays and I'm not waiting on buffering either. I am overclocked so that may help with it not buffering...

Good news everyone! Netflix finally has an app for android!
The lovely xda gurus even modified it to stop the device check.

Thanks! This works great for me. I tried out a few different programs and everything seems to be working.
What kind of bandwidth does Netflix use on a mobile device? When I stream music I use about 60-70 MB/hour. I am wondering if this is something I can use outside my home or just when I have access to wifi.
Thanks.
installs fine, stream starts, but has the "chipmunk" audio issue (playback twice fast), as well as the green bar at the top issue. (P509, rom void#echo, with hwacc.)

Yeah.. some people have had this issue across different models of phone.
Personally, on CM7 from mik, it works fine for me. I wonder if it 2x on froyo and not gingerbread.
So far as bandwidth taken, I don't know yet. I have only done it on wifi so I haven't been paying much attention.

New Android market

Hello,
For new Android market that is rolling out now, will we will get the new Android market even if our phones have been rooted and have custom ROM on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I couldn't imagine them doing anything specific just to (I'm sure only momentarily) annoy people with rooted phones.
If your market works now I'd say there's a fairly good chance the new one will as well. Although I cannot confirm it.
Yes, the new one works. I use it since.yesterday on my dhd.

From what I can see it is a very data hungry application as it can take a while to fire up when network connection is on the slow side.
i still havent got the update on my dhd.
so there are different release dates between different regions right?
Ye, Google did say the update (which will go on your phone auto, so no need to go to settings and update) will be with us all between now and up coming weeks.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i hope the version that goes arround is not the final one cause beside being very laggy it is buggy. it broke a market link of an installed ap while trying to update it.
also even though it showed me one app being able to update it didn't allowed me to. clicking on it brought me to the apps details page and there i could only open or uninstall it.
i could onlly update apps if i had more than one by clicking update all.
p.s. oh and not to forgot: the amount of traffic it causes is extrem! a multiplactive of the old one, as if they would not cache the images of the apps showcase on the front page.

Agreed, same problem here, uninstalled the update. Don't like the new layout, hard to find things.
I have uninstalled the update and gone back to the last version. New one is almost unusable on anything other than a perfect cell connection.

Same here but i guess i'll keep it as it looks great,just a matter of few days to get habitual of it
when i click on download in new market it is starting to download for ages
when i reset phone it download the file immediately
Am I the only one, who thinks the new Metro-look (WP7 like ) is ugly?
I dont see any slowness. The only thing that bothers me is the updates. With the old one you could see the updates right away. With this one not so direct.
