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.

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.
does anyone know if it's possible to port the skype video chat that leaked off the thunderbolt to the vibrant?!
http://www.popherald.com/htc-thunderbolt-skype-video-call-apk-download-leaked/6351
Do you have a download link or something? Downloaded the apk and pulled the lib files for it. Will take a look at it.
www(dot)droid-life(dot)com/2011/04/11/download-skype-with-video-on-android/
That link says:
*Note – Would not install on my XOOM or Incredible. Will only work on Thunderbolt
yeah i was reading that it only works with htc lib files or something. but man i want skype working so bad, tango is the best out right now and it's pretty unbearable.

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!

Go Back and install the old rom that was working. Then go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013035
Let us know if this way works or not? As may be missing in the new updated nodo roms??
FPM
mmh from what I read, on HD2, we cannot directly update to NoDo from 7008, but we had to have a coocked rom (if it was possible I think we had not w8 so many time xD)

My mistake, thats for the real WP7 and not the HD2-WP7. Maybe the Mango update will fix it?????
I hope mango is full of awesomeness xD with HTML5 no need of a client app...
for now its really annoing to have this iussue...I can live without flash as its not important, but at least youtube videos I want them working :-(

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
Hi there fokes, I'm a novice in modding android. I was so excited after reading the threads here on how to mod android devices, so I couldn't help trying it yesterday.
I flash my device with a ROM downloaded from http://www.multiupload.com/0HR8W3BMUR which was crafted by Stockwell and team. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059753) I'm very satisfied with the performance and look of my device now, but only one little issue that my device cannot handle the video play from the stock browser visiting mobile youtube web.
Do any fokes have any ideas on the issue ?
Cheers !

Same issue, however not a problem why would I want to view from the browser when there is a youtube app linking me up with mp4 videos. Other than that just wait until you get fixes.
Hey guys,
I am looking for an app I can load while playing music on Google music or Pandora.. Something along the lines of the giess plugin or milkdrop for winamp.. I am not sure if this is even possible but I figured I would ask.. I checked the Market and found nothing that would do what I needed only a ton of live wallpapers. Any ideas?
Phone: Samsung Capivate
OS: Latest CyanogenMod for my phone (nightly build)

That is awesome and what I was looking for, I don't want to bump it but that's what I want I would easily pay for it if someone made that app.
ProjectM is not complete but is being pursued
