Can anyone use the default Youtube?

Can anyone use Youtube? or even better, can anyone update version of Youtube?
When I try to play any video, I get the error (Sorry, this video cannot be played). When I search Google. I see that there should be an updated version in the Market, but there is nothing there. I also tried to update with AppBrain but still doesn't work.
Any help?

anyone ??????????

Works for me, both the original and the updated version I got in the Android market.

you are probably in a region where youtube is not available on the market. I had the same problem, when I searched for official youtube app in the market, it doesn't appear. What I did was, I searched the updated youtube apk on the net, downloaded into the sdcard and installed it from there.
hope it helps.

mine works fine, both versions.

Thanks, I found all the google updates and updated but the error is the same. I'll look for problems in OpenDNS as I suspect that the problem is there.

nope, wasn't opendns but it worked after rebooting with the new updated version. I hope it stays like that.

Anyone getting browser freeze/FC? I'm sick of it, hardware?

Running tasks v5 rom, much better than before, but still get a lot of freezes (forcing a hard reset by me) or force closes where the browser disappears. Nyone else getting these yet?

No browser freeze on mine.

I have problem accessing seekingalpha.com. Browser (stock) wouldn't load content and than just chrashes. It happens everytime, with no exeptions. Could someone try to open it and let me know what happens?

I'm not web expert, so I don't know what's going on with this site, or in what "technology" is it written. But, they have changed site recently, and since than it started to be extremely slow on my HTC Desire (Gingerbread), like beating the hell out of the processor. And now I found out that crashes Honeycomb browser.
Is there any way to contact Google to point them to this problem? I couldn't find it...
Opera or Dolphin can open it. But also, there are some rendering problems in Dolphin with left column (adds and some links on the top). It's dynamic (moving with you as you scroll the page), so that could be source of the problem.

I haven't had a problem with this site really, mostly when the keyboard is up (using Swiftkey) or quickly scrolling. Also other things like samsung email app and a few games seem to cause problems.
All seems very random and infrequent, can't find a pattern to them yet.

Just got my first browser FC today, happened twice when trying to add a bookmark

could this be a hardware problem? The tab freezes several times a day, usually on the browser (use that the most too), also in exchange email app and various games. It's driving me nuts. Tried every rom out there as well as stock and pershoots kernel.

Anyone have any ideas? It's driving me crazy and I'm curious if I could have a serious problem or if it's something the right update could fix.

I use Dolphin for Pad browser (not Dolphin mini or HD). Never had a FC.

tried dolphin. No difference.

have u tried the v6.1, got some (few) lags on v5 but v6.1 is smooth (for me) now

Yes, I've tried 5,6, 6.1,overcome, starburst. Makes no difference.

In Dolphin use the desktop agent instead of Android. It' their mobile site that causes the problem. If your rooted you should be able to set the stock browser to desktop also.

[Q] MLB Atbat Live Streaming in CM7

I'm running CM7 beta for Atrix. I have the MLB Atbat app. I can't get live streaming working in the app or in a browser.
I've tried the fix listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201274
But live streaming still isn't working. The option is available, it starts to connect, and then video will freeze on the first frame while audio continues fine. Sometimes the video will just freeze on a jumble of colors. It's the same if I try to stream from the website in Browser or Dolphin HD.
What to do?

Ill check this out tomorrow too

this happens to me too. the fix linked is only for at-bat that doesn't recognize the device and doesn't give the video option.
i believe it it linked to flash, but i'm not sure. i could never get it working on 2.3.4 (AT&T) properly unless i uninstalled flash, tried a video and it prompted me to DL it from the market. once i used that link, i would pop back into at-bat and it would work. that method worked for a while and then stopped working.
i've tried it on CM7 and nothing. i've tried 5 different versions ranging from 10.2-10.3xx and no dice, first frame freezes. i really don't know what it is.
sorry i couldn't help, but just letting you know you're not alone.

I had the streaming working fine in gingerbread both in the app and dolphin hd. I was using Ken alien 4.

i never got at bat to work on stock froyo or stock gingerbread.. on the android market doesnt say video can play on atrix
if any one got it to work any advise... so i dont think is your ROM you installed
PS... i havent tried the latest version of at bat maybe they fixed it

Browser and flash crash ICS only

I think this deserves a thread. as the title states if you were to go to YouTube full site and try to play a video as soon as its about to play the advert it crashes causing the browser to become unresposive to touch.
does not matter which browser you use it has same effect.
other sites tested are ustream and Justin TV. various flash sites used to watch football also have the same problem although sometimes after deleting cache on opera in app manager I can get football to run.
I'm pretty sure 3.2.1 did not have these issues.
if this a Acer problem. will they fix this? I also think it could be a flash player problem with our tablets which could be fixed in a update from them.
I'm on a custom rom but I'm just off to test on my girlfriends tab which is stock....brb
OK I'm back. exactly the same tried to play a video on YouTube and as it about to play it froze the browser and the video.
3.2.1 looks so appealing right now. anyway people who say there browsers don't freeze obviously don't use many flash sites.
if anyone knows any settings that may help in the about:config department of opera please let me no otherwise I'd love to find anyone with a workaround.....

I am having this problem as well with dolphin, chrome and stock browser when ever I try to go to full screen. However last night I downloaded browser + (basically an enhanced stock browser) and it worked fine all night long. I played about 3 consecutive hours of full screen flash videos and didn't have one browser crash. Not sure what the problem with the other browsers is.

thanks, might give that a try then.
im sure it will be ironed out sooner or later..
anyone know if theres away to log the crashes?
EDIT: Indeed you are correct. broswer+ does not crash on justin.tv....
Any tips on forcing it to use youtube full site as no matter what i try (even ticking box) it forces back to the mobile site.
Cheers for the tip mate it will certainly make ICS a whole lot better to use at the minute
EDIT 2: you just made my morning looks like browser+ is the way to go. ustream works perfectly too.
just like to add a further note that BOAT browser works great and does not freeze when using any of the sites i have listed. so thats browser+ and BOAT that work ok with flash

I also should now add I'm on a custom 4.0.4 android and flash with opera works great. Even full screen on full YouTube.
Very strange but I'm not complaining now.

i'll give opera a shot as well

Same issues
Two of the most irritating problems I had with HC was:
1. ALL web browsers would randomly crash--> auto shut downs that wiped all temp and open files in the browser. Stock browser was the worst, followed up by Opera, Dolphin, Mirix browser, and a couple other nobody apps. None worked flawlessly. This is enraging when you are typing an email and it dies, you lose all your work!!!
2. My bluetooth Motorola keyboard would stutter and die. Keys would stick, etc. Another maddening problem.
The ICS OTA I received did not rectify these two critical issues for me either. Hence why I invested time and energy into learning how to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM.
Those two problems that were unresolvable were deal breakers for me running anything from Acer.
I routinely sent alogcat files to Dolphin techie team. They were not able to deduce why their browser would auto-die during session. But hey, at least the Dolphin team responded and tried.
Opera support is miserable. I sent them what they wanted: their advice? Uninistall Opera and re-install. I did. Four times. Still problem persisted.
I would get SoD's on HC and my tablet was unrooted and unmodded at the time.
I would get SoD's infrequently on stock ICS, but enough it made me move to another ROM.
So to answer your question: Your device is not alone with these problems. Seems it is something in Acer's ROM's that do this. Some bug they dont bother to fix. And I assume it is in the stock ROM's, because I did factory recovery and factory wipes too, and it did not repair this bug with auto-die browsers and spotty bluetooth connectivity.
My solution?
Go custom ROM. Flash an unlocked bootloader, install the latest greatest flavor you take fancy to, install either the Lightspeed 4.5 (i think they are up to 4.7 now...), Flexreaper RC1_v3, or that Thor ROM. All are good, I'm partial to Flexreaper cuz it has that totally customizable Acer Ring.
All those ROM's out of the gate are faster and have more clever apps in them than Acer-junk.
Juss sayin.

Full screen flash?

I have flash working but full screen always fails, the screen goes black. Is there a fix? I've tried every browser, boat, firefox, AOSP, ocean, etc.
EDIT: It's working on firefox right now but there's no seek bar, no controls. Grr.

I have the same problem. Using ocean browser.

Full screen works for me on Boat Browser with all the websites I've tried. As far as why it wont work on your end, It may just be a fluke with certain websites. Since it is not "officially" supported on JellyBean it may be hit or miss.
You could share what website in particular you're trying to access full screen and I could try it on my end.
Also, what version of Flash Player are you using?

I installed flash on my N10 earlier (something I thought I never do ) and can also confirm the site I tried using the fullscreen player on just resulted in a black screen, on AOSP Browser (I use CM 10.1). I use whatever the latest ICS APK that was available on Adobe's archive site.
I didn't try other browsers yet.
