[Q] youtube app issues please help - Epic 4G General

When I first got my epic my youtube account was unlinked to a google account. It did it with no problem.
Since then youtube has required that I link that account with a google account so I just based my google account on the e-mail address that was attached to my original youtube account (I didn't use my gmail account). Now all my app does is freeze after I log in and then force closes.
Could someone explain why this happened and what options are there to fix it.
BTW I'm still running 2.1 stock
Thanks

youtube upload

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.

[Q] Google Apps account creation issue

I haven't been able to figure this one out. I just purchased the S7 and so far I have been very pleased with it.
When I went to setup the default Google account I wasn't able to use my Google Apps account. I could only setup the tablet with a gmail account. When I try to create the Google Apps account, the Sign In button is grayed out.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can setup my Google Apps account as the default sync account?
It is very hard to search for something like this as all of the terms are used for different things. I did read somewhere about adding in another gapps apk file. However, I don't know where to find the file or how to do something like that.
I've figured this one out on my own. The reason that I couldn't sign up for the account was the password that I was using has a comma in it and the Huawei keyboard was adding a space after the comma in my password. The box was grayed out due to the space in the password. It took me a few hours of trying everything that I could think of.
I am facing same problem and found that it does not ahve google checkin service. Tried to install googlechin.apk but it failed to install. Want to know that what can be done to rectify this.

Problem with Sky email and Google services

I use my sky.com email address to setup my Android devices and for Google online services.
My problem is that Google Play, Music and Wallet are not synced between my phone and when I access online using my desktop.
Anyone out there that uses a sky email address and has a working sync with online services? Anyone with the same problem as me?

Sky email uses the Google system, so my Sky credentials work for email and calendar; but not wallet, music and Play store.

Hi Stu,
I am having the same problem. I have spoken with google and they have confirmed that Sky have to activated a number of google services on my account e.g. google books. I am in the process of sending emails back and forward with Sky in the attempt for them to solve the issue. Google gave me the instruction they need to follow, but Sky have yet to accept it is their issue!
I'll post back here if i get it sorted.
CB.
Sorry after re-reading your issue, it may be different to my problem.
CB, what's your current situation now that the sky.com accounts have completely dropped off from Google services?
I'm currently discussing with Google to cover me for re-purchasing all my paid apps using a newly created gmail account.

Changing Google account on NSTG

I needed to change the Google account in my NSTG but couldn't find an obvious way to do it from the existing apps or tools in my rooted device. Removing accounts.db from /data and rebooting seemed to do the trick - I was then able to add a new Google account by using the Market app. Mail, calendar, etc. sync, Google Talk works and installed apps can be updated via Market. I don't know what effect this has on the B&N account and on-line library as I don't use their services but at least the stock reader app and library continue to work OK.
You might have been able to do it through the Gmail app's settings.
Thanks. At least in the Gmail app that I have there's only an option to add an account. Maybe it would allow me to delete the old account after adding a new account but I'm not going to test that now that everything is working perfectly. If someone could confirm that - whether one Google account can be deleted if there are multiple accounts present - I'd appreciate it.

[Q] Unable to configure Google Apps account on Android L

I have a google apps domain (2300s.com) but get the following error when trying to configure my account :
Sorry, Google doesn't recognize that email
is there some kind of DNS record that should be updated?
thanks

I have similar problem. When I try to add google apps account it forwards me to web page of the service. As a consequence I cannot add this account although it was working without problems on older androids
Hi,
i have the same problem with my n5 and n10. I opened a ticket at goolge apps team, they confirmed the bug.
I found a temporary solution:
Install 4.4.4, add setup you accounts then do a sideload update to lollipop. The google apps accounts work fine.
bye,
Clouseau
