Stock Youtube application cannot connect?

Hello,
it seems the stock Youtube application cannot connect? Both browsers (Opera and IE) are working fine, but when Youtube application is launched (either manually, or by a link in IE), it searches for connection for a while ("Downloading..."), then it says it cannot connect ("There was a connection error while attempting to download data. Retry?")
I am using 3G connection - is it maybe that youtube application works only over wifi (I kind of remember something like that...)
Thank you.

Fixed it... legacy ATT user here, needed to add proxy settings

[Q] Not able to download large files when tethered?

I cannot download files from my PC i.e. jpgs, vids etc... I subscribe to easynews and when I tether my HTC Hero 2.1 using Wireless Thether v1.60 for root users nothing happens.
I've noticed the same problems when using hotels wifi's where it notices that it's a large file and it stops downloading.
From the phone itself it downloads fine, but when I tether to PC it does nothing. Do I need to proxy somewhere?
thanks

Hmm, I don't know that many others have this problem that you're describing. Try updating your version of Wifi Tether. I believe there's a version 2.0 out, perhaps that could solve your issue.
See here: http://www.appbrain.com/app/android.tether
I think you can also upgrade it directly from the Market.

Sounds like a problem with your PC's wireless device.
Try uninstalling it from device manager (I'm assuming Windows operating system), then reboot your computer, let it reinistall the hardware and try it again.

No, it's not the PC... I tried it with three different ones. It's something SPRINT does from preventing downloads of big videos and sound files. If I use a datacard on the PC it works fine. The problem is when I tether. I have noticed that when I use a proxy site and then go to easynews.com I then can download without a problem.
It seems like Sprint might put some type of restriction on certain sites... can that be true and is there a way around it?
thanks for any info

Solved problem by installing PaperBus "you can use paperbus to access blocked web sites and bypass internet filters and such."
Now when I tether I can access easynews. Like I said, it seems that Sprint blocks downloads from this and perhaps other newsgroup services.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No... they do not

If an ISP where to be blocking a particular set of information from any site - you wouldn't believe the hell that would be unleashed upon them by the FCC and nerds alike.

[Q] Froyo Supperram - internet browser works, rest of internet related apps don't

Hi there,
I'm having a bit of a strange problem that I haven't found anywhere in the forum:
1)running froyo superram V 1.5.
2) 2.12.50 radio
3)energy rom dec 13 version
during install i cannot connect to my google account via 3g /hdspa / umts or whatever the data connection through my mobile phone provider is. wlan no problem.
after having done so and switching wireless lan off and only using my mobile phone data plan i can:
a) suft the web through the internet browser using mobile data connection (so i assume my apn settings are ok, [i'm with eplus, germany])
b)but i cannot ping the web in the settings dialog, nor can i use the marketplace or use any other internet using application
c) all of the above, i.e. marketplace work through wifi
what can i do? and why is this a selective issue????
any help and input is appreciated!
merry christmas from germany!!

data connection
I am having the same issue. Everything works fine except web related apps, unless i'm connected to wifi.

dear thomygunz72,
you may have misunderstood me and i don't want to get this question taken off the intendet track:
i can browse the web without wifi using my mobile data connection.
at the same time i'm on the web using mobile data, none of the other inet related apps work!
so I'm not one of the regular cases in which mobile data connection doesn't work at all, it however only works SELECTIVELY!
thats my problem.
hope anyone might be able to help!

Just wondering if you found a resolution to this issue, as i am having the same problem.
Internet app is ok, email and gmail apps are fine, however anything else just "fails to respond to server" when trying to use them, including the XDA app and facebook and twitter.
Any help to this would be greatly appreciated.

I don't see why you can access the internet but not via applications. That sounds a bit fishy to me, and I'd personally be tempted to try a different ROM and see if the problem persists.
First of all though, I would definitely check my APN settings to make sure they're correct. You should be able to find the info you need here...

From the home page, bring up the menu and go to settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names. Check the selected values in there against the values on the site linked above.

browser works just fine but internet applications dont
I found a few posts about my problem, but no solution whatsoever. I got and HD2 using Nexus One ROM, the thing is I use the default browser with no problems but when I try to run facebook, twitter, downloading files or google talk there's an error message saying that there was an error and I should try later or there was a timeout. I checked my APN and everything is the way it is supposed to be. I figured so since I can browse perfectly. Is there an option where I can force applications to use the APN I set up? I hope you can help me on this matter.

[Q] Google Play and widgets won't runing with company proxies

Hi, I like the title, the company's wifi bind, the appropriate version of the opera to the Internet can be accessed using a proxy. But, unable to establish a wifi connection with Google Play or widgwets. Could you share the solution if there is?
thanks...

Use proxydroid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.proxydroid&hl=en

doesn't work
Hi, this program doesn't work properly and i learned how to using ics with proxy but it doesn't work too. (in wifi menu, press wifi and manuel conf.) it's connecting AP but google play, ics default browser and WIDGETS don't runings. it doesn't ask me for proxy user name and password.

Do not nobody that can use this way?
A similar situation to try those behind the proxy, please?
thanks,

any solutions or idea?

Read my post. It works for me. This is how I do it at my work. Market and everything works.

[Q] can't access Internet

Hi, my provider has migrated from PPPoE to DHCP and now I can connect to Internet alright but cannot go anywhere - none of the browsers (Opera Mobile and UC Browser) can load any page of any site. Is there any workaround - I've tried to uninstall and re-install both browsers to no avail, tried to go to 192.168.1.1 to do some setup steps as I did with a Big Brother (PC) and failed to load one of the consecutive pages? All other devices (Notebook, Samsung Galaxy SIII) in my home work fine, they just "grabbed" the Internet without any intervention from my part, only NSTs (mine and my son's) refuse to work with DHCP. NST FW 1.2.1, rooted, multitouch, NoRefresh_update, FastMode2, NookTouchTools, kernel 166.
Update - 29.04.2013 10:00 - Today I've brought my NST to my work and WiFi works fine, can load any page in Internet. Will try to contact with my provider's customers support.
Update: - 29.04.2013 20:30 - Home - My Big Brother's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and NST's is 192.168.1.4.
