YouTube not working with 4g on?? - EVO 4G General

Ok so here's the skinny. I've noticed that when I have 4g on and I load up YouTube app, I sometimes get a "no connection" message on YouTube. I then promptly go to the web browser to test data and it works fine. Sometimes even 7mbps. I then go back to YouTube and still get the same thing. I have to turn off 4g, load up YouTube on 3g, then turn it back on for it to work. Even then I can only watch exactly 5min of a video in hd before it stops and I have to hit reload and fast forward to where I was. Now imagine what I gotta do to watch a 15min video. I'm at a loss... now I'm no genius, but I know well enough about programming and phones and have tried so many things to fix this to no avail (i.e.- reflashing Rom, updating sprint prl, restoring,rebooting, reinstalling apks...etc). I get the sense that it sort of goes idle after 5min of playing a vid... any suggestions?
BTW sorry if something like this has been posted before, the search feature on xda app never worked and I will surely turn to dust before I can manually sift through all the posts in the Evo 4g section. I appreciate your understanding.

market out
market is out for me as well i was flashing all kind of roms must b a server down ive read some of the post and a lot of people are out as well and also on different devices as well so ill go back to mod'n my hero and wait
I am running cm6 and mine has been out for a few hours.
I just downloaded google maps about five minutes ago running aospbot nightly but it took an extremely long time. flashing the latest nightly gave me network error though anyone wanna man up and flash run the ruu to find out if it's just a rom issue or if it's google.
market is down...looks like there will be a major upgrade!
Mine works
Working again, no upgrades...

yeah i was having that trouble when I was testing RegawMOD 3.0 lol I thought it was something I did! good to know!
my market has been acting up for a couple days now and its still doing it anyone know of a fix? I thought it was my rom but I've wiped and flashed a different rom and still the same problem.
mine loads fine but when i go to download an app the download arrow pops up for a sec then goes away and it never finishes downloading... good to know it's not just me
I'm having far worse problems with my phone. I started out with the market going slow, clicking to download an app, then waiting 5 to 10 minuets until the download starts. Then came the network errors on the market, taking 12 hours for downloads to start. Now, finally, when I type in www.google.com in my browser, my phone just sits there, looking at me like I'm stupid.
I can go to bing, yahoo, xda, penny-arcade, kotaku. I just can't go to any site related to google, on an operating system coded, ran, and maintained by google. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the definition of irony.
Anyway, if it helps any, I'm running 2.2 cm6, flashed between that and Zenhero 2.1 and the stock rom, doing factory wipes, and both regular and davlik(sp?) cache wipes in between.
Weird, I've had no issues to speak of, running cm6 830 and now 831

4G on load craps out

seems like the entire time on 2.2, a hard load on 4g connection causes the radio to cease thoroughput..
just makes me mad because it makes it hard to download my huge porn files using the network, and have to resort to slower 3g.
**Using the Sprint hotspot app. But Happens even using 4g on the phone, not tethering.
If I recall, I do not remember this happening on 2.1 and certainly not on my Evo 4g just for comparison.
I will miss 2.2, but I will have to nand then odin back to 2.1 next night and check this.

This happens to me all the time. I figure its the horrible ping our phones have mixed with the bugs that were probably ironed out in dl15, 29 or whatever.

No video playing capability at all...

Today, my daughter asked me to watch a Youtube video in my phone. I opened up the application and found the video she wanted and clicked it...after a few seconds..."Sorry we cant play that video try again" pop up. i tried again and again and again and again to no avail... tried a different video...nothing.
Went to the browser, open Youtube clicked on a video and similar message appeared.."cant play that video"
Went to the market and downloaded the update for Youtube but besides the change of the layout and display, the same results.
Finally I went to Flixter to try and watch a trailer and the same result..."Sorry that video cant be played"
Finally after many and many retries, one video played but when I clicked it again to play, back to same old "sorry cant play video"
I have temporary root and have had it for a while with out any issues. I actually turned my phone off and lost root and tried to watch videos but no success.
I remember having similar issues with my Hero but hadn't had any problems with my Shift until now
Anybody else with this issues? Any fixes? .
Yes I have that issue on 3g. On wifi and 4g it works just fine though. Weird.

I had the same issue after messing with temp root on my shift. After many tries of updating, installing update, going to YouTube website and rebooting phone I couldn't get it to work for the life of me. I finally reset the phone to factory and have not updated my youtube app (shilling the version that shipped on phone) and now I have very high success rate unless I have less than 3 bars of signal then it takes a couple tries but it still plays fine. I hope that helps. Let me know if that helped any.

Check out upload and download speeds in the development forums. I was having these issues too. It seems sprint blocks something in there proxy that prevents streaming media at least some of it
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Here's the quick and dirty way to fix streaming. You need your msl. Go to dialer and hit ##3282#
Edit, enter msl, advanced.
Scroll all the way to the bottom. Last four fields make the ports 0 (zero) and other two 0.0.0.0
Reboot and streaming music should work, maybe video too. Something else I do is just download the damned video and watch it if the player is being stubborn. I like jetvd. You might find it in the market but the last time I looked it was gone. Your can Google jetvd android download and look for the URL that is jet's site. I don't remember what it was. They have a download link for the apk. I got it and installed and watch stuff that way when YouTube app is being a *****.
Yea thanx for reminding me, I forgot to mention I tried the proxy address mod for myself and actually caused me to lose all net capability. So from personal experience it didn't work but some users are swearing by the mod. That's another option. Me personally I try not to change settings like that in case down the road it breaks a future app and I forgot what I did etc etc. But its worth a try for the OP.

Same for me. Running stock non rooted.
Same thing is happening on my roomate's Shift. 3G is no go at all, 4G is hit or miss, works sometimes, and I didn't try wifi. aLogcat shows some error with mediaplayer and stagefright. I'll have to look again to remember the exact error/code. His phone is perma rooted, stock ROM and kernel.
I've ruu'd my phone a few times so far. You think that might of fixed any factory flash snafu? I didn't have this problem before ruu either. Sometimes YouTube app is very stubborn.

I haven't tried RUU yet, I dont think it's bothering him enough yet for me to go any further with it. Yes, the youtube app is very stubborn sometimes, as it always has been on my own Evo. However, this is happening (sorry, video cannot be played) whether its on the youtube app, or on youtube.com using the browser. Same results. Very strange.
Take this for what it's worth:
I went into the Sprint store and talked with some of the techs. They said they are aware of this issue with the Shift and the Evo. They say Sprint is working on a fix for this issue.
Lmao like Sprint and Samsung is getting froyo for the epic?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Good heads up on what the techs said. Hopefully its some simple and make the app more reliable considering hats the point of unlimited data I'd I can't even use the factory features. A minor issue but the principle of the fact. So far mine still being pretty consistent with playing videos except when in a weaker signal area.

Setting RTSP parameters to 0 and 0.0.0.0 made Youtube unwatchable over 3G. Setting those parameters back to their defaults fixed the problem.

I really wouldn't put any faith in the sprint techs. Like the poster above said...just look at their track record with releasing an official 2.2 for the epic =\
Sprint communicated to the stores that this is a known issue that will be resolved in future updates.

Music Beta and WiMAX?

My small-sized city was fortunate enough to recently get WiMax, (I'm not sure how long we've had it!) With a speed test I scored a 7142kbps download without being in the "best coverage" area. Impressive!
Everything worked great until I tried to stream music from Google Music beta. All my cloud based music was grayed out and when I'd select a song it said "you have to be connected to the internet to play this." (I'm paraphrasing) As soon as I switched off 4G and went back to 3G everything played fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
Yep just tried it. No go on WIMAX
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks for the reply. 4G really isn't needed to stream music anyway but it seems like a hassle to toggle off WiMAX every time I want to listen to music. Maybe Google will fix this soon.
Don't know why we're not seeing the same behavior, but I can stream Music Beta downloads over WiMAX on CM7 nightlies.
Same issue on deck's 2.3.3 (1.0) in LA on wi-max. No google music! So, I guess it's not an ASOP vesus sense thing.
hm. interesting. I got my beta invite two days ago, still uploading music.
so I tried playing some stuff over 4G, and... it sorta worked, stutter city, until it buffered. but it made my phone act Really Weird. unresponsive (even when I had closed the app), restarts, total Sense FC, etc. and yes, I mean ETC. had to totally reboot the phone to get good function back.
that was yesterday, I'll try again today perhaps over 3G only...
(i am on sprint lovers currently...)
OMGB 1.1.2 ROM, aosp here. Seems unlikely it would be a rom issue, no?
I am running 2.3.4 (Deck's latest) and I can stream with no issues on 4g.
.....
When I turn 4G on, I get this error on my EVO: "You must be online to play this song"
Everything else works with 4G on though, web browsing, emails, etc.
I'm still waiting on my invite to install on my pc

I use it every day in the car using 4g, I live in a big city and our 4g coverage is pretty good, works great. Ive used it on stock as well as a few roms.
I'm in San Antonio, and have no issue playing music over a 4G connection. I'm using a stock EVO.

anybody else experience this??

this happened to me yesterday but this is the first time I'm able to post/ask about this....
so I was at the Subway Series yesterday (for those who don't know....Mets-Yankees game) and took some photos during batting practice. I was tweeting the photos then it said network connection lost. It's happened to me before so I didn't think anything of it. Tried about an hour later (still at the game btw) to search something on google and I couldn't connect. I then thought, "probably in a ****ty Sprint area". After I got home where I know sprint is good, tried to use the internet on my phone again, and still wouldn't connect.
Each one of these times it would say "Needs WiFi or 3G connection" it was annoying! anybody else experience this??
Mets suck.
Just sayin...
No I haven't. Hope you find the solution as that would suck if it happened to me.

I've had something similar where 3G was acting stupid. Try toggling in, and out of Airplane Mode. It might reset the radio to where you can connect again. If not reboot.
Kind of happened to me at the movies. Transformers3 was about to start and I couldn't do anything with my phone until I got out of the theater! It was weird... Like I was being blocked from sending anything or getting online.??

o yea i should also mention that I tried shutting my mobile network off and on but it wouldn't let me lol. it kept saying "Turning On..." even when I tried to shut it off (I was running the Synergy RC1 and was in the quick settings pull down menu....I have switched over to Deck's ROM..I missed my phenomenal battery life lol)
I would have said try turning off mobile network and then turning it back on but it seems like it you tried. Idk, I would like this to be answered because this issue happens to me too

Anyway, the network was probably overloaded at the stadium. A lot of the stadiums are having this issue with every carrier. Apparently they are all building their own towers now.

I have had this at the Oakland Coliseum and and Qaulcam (Jack Murphy) stadium. It's is not unexpected because of what was said above. If it is available, you can try 4G. Usually not as many users.

I am not sure if this is the case or not, but I know that it is possible to have a device installed that blocks cell phone signals. I have heard that in some places, it has been allowed, however I am not certain where it is or is not allowed.
The article linked below, is old, but talks about how some The National Association of Movie Operators was in the process of trying to get it to be exempted from the "Communications Act of 1934, section 333, which makes it illegal to interfere with radio communications"
