Dear Google - Xoom General

Hello, my name is Tommy.
I like your new 3.1 update. Everything runs sweet.
However, you changed some things, one in particular I am upset with. Its in your YouTube app. You seem to have changed the controls with play/pause/restart. Restart now is the forced control for when a video ends. Basically my issue is that when I just streamed a video and it ends, I can not rewind to any part of the video and hit play, because the button only displays restart. Now with me basically surviving off of the verizon network for my xoom, this has become an issue. Especially with longer HD videos. I don't understand why a video just streamed can't maintain its data for long enough that it can't be played again without restreaming it, especially since I've been doing it since I bought my Xoom on launch day. Any thoughts you might put towards this issue would be greatly appreciated by me.
Thank you.
Now where should I send this? If you agree, please help me and send one also.

Don't download Youtube from Market, it's the phone version. If you already did, go to settings - all applications, find Youtube and click remove updates.
To fix the no youtube problem, go to settings - all applications, find Google Partner Setup and click Clear Cache, restart your Xoom and Youtube app will appear magically.
Hope this helps.

Ha sweet just did this and worked perfect! Plays so much better than on the website! Thanks

New Youtube App

Don't know if this has been posted, but there's a new official YouTube app on the market and it's leaps and bounds better than the old one. Definitely worth the update.

Anyone else having trouble installing it from the market on CM6?

installed fine on my evo running fresh. love the newish look.
I am stock...anyone know how to get the upgrade...I am on version 1.6.21
Edit: never mind....even though it's a pre-installed app and doesn't show in Market as a downloaded app (and thus no upgrade notification is available), you just go into Market, search for Google Youtube and install it like a new app. The pre-installed app will be upgraded.

Just a little bit cooler.
On the bright side, when the video is paused, it keeps buffering.

About time! Their youtube app was so bad I would just use the browser + flash instead.

You would think that if you searched for YouTube which is owned by Google, on the Market, which is also owned by Google, it would be the first one listed. Nope, it is the 9th.
Does anyone have youtube 1.6 apk. The new youtube 2.0 is nice but doesn't let me use youtube ripper. Thanks
new UI is nice but it still sucks at streaming with Froyo... constantly getting "There was a problem playing the video"

I rebooted and found it. My market is weird sometimes. The market is a mess and disorganized.
Sent while sitting on the toilet.
Are we still not able to comment on videos or am I missing something?
Just updated now...lovely UI, I like that you can just swipe left/right to view other tabs while video plays. HQ seems more, well, HQ too.
searched "You tube" and it was the first app that it showed...
Much better!! Before I couldnt watch half of the videos. Now everything plays and I'm not waiting on buffering either. I am overclocked so that may help with it not buffering...

Flash Player 10.2 Now Available

You can download it here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adobe.flashplayer
Enjoy!
10.1.106.16
its not. its 10.2.156.12. try uninstalling then reinstalling.
works flawlessly. smoother than the previous version.
good job adobe/google
before i used to get really choppy playback on www.traileraddicts.com
all smooth now. im one happy droider
Currently it displays 10.1 in the market from the tablet but if you click install, another window comes up and shows 10.2 and it works!
Is anyone else who installed it having problems getting it to work?
I installed it from the market, but nothing happens in the browser (Both dolphin and stock).
I opened the apps list and it's not even running. There's no way to open it up and start it. Rebooting didn't help.
What am I doing wrong?
10.2.156.12 -- that shows up after the install.
just installed, market info is outdated, works fine though!
Sweeet.
Tested against the 'top flash sites' of 2011, all are working great!
delete please~

smooth playback and scrolling
Ok. Got it to work after clearing my browser cache.
Strange.
Anyways, I just watched a couple of trailers on traileraddicts. So much better than the leaked version, but I can't wait for 720p playback!
Installed by using push from market.android.com
Works really well from several discovery.com shows as well as full screen without jerking. So far so good.
Works good. Would be nice to have full resolution video from these sites instead of mobile resolution.

Got it. Didn't remove everything from the leaked flash player, left the lib file. Installed fine once I removed that

If you have the leaked version you must uninstall first. Or you'll get install error. Just a heads up.
What is the best way to uninstall when it doesn't show in the market?

[App] Working Netflix apk

Good news everyone! Netflix finally has an app for android!
The lovely xda gurus even modified it to stop the device check.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150
Download the second one (device check disabled), install, login and enjoy!
I have already watched 2 eps of invader zim while on my lunch break!
It is work fine on my p509 w/CM7, so hopefully it will work with all optimus one versions.

Thanks! This works great for me. I tried out a few different programs and everything seems to be working.
What kind of bandwidth does Netflix use on a mobile device? When I stream music I use about 60-70 MB/hour. I am wondering if this is something I can use outside my home or just when I have access to wifi.
Thanks.
installs fine, stream starts, but has the "chipmunk" audio issue (playback twice fast), as well as the green bar at the top issue. (P509, rom void#echo, with hwacc.)

Yeah.. some people have had this issue across different models of phone.
Personally, on CM7 from mik, it works fine for me. I wonder if it 2x on froyo and not gingerbread.
So far as bandwidth taken, I don't know yet. I have only done it on wifi so I haven't been paying much attention.

Has anyone thought of switching the stock music players with the google music player? i feel it would make the more aosp roms seem more authentic.

A word of warning, it does not work on rooted phones. You'll know it's not working for you when you can't access the "Settings" menu.
I went to stock and the music streaming works surprisingly well.
but why!!!!! i want!
Yea I got a invite but haven't had a chance to use it because of that.

Mine too. Got my invite the other day. Takes FOREVER to upload songs - and you can only upload from your PC, not the phone. It duplicated the tunes I already had copied over, so that's not too cool. Works pretty well other than that.
EDIT: nvm, works fine for me on midNIGHT rom v5.3! Had to uninstall and reinstall and then I was able to view "settings."

Got an invite last week. Aside from the agonizingly long amount of time it takes to upload my music library, it works awesomely. Also, I am rooted (running SRF 1.1.1).
works great for me; i'm rooted on the Swiss Cheese. I wish the app didn't have such a big footprint.

Works fine on mine rooted as well. I love it. It did take like two days to upload like 2500 songs, but then I got like 200 free random songs for joining which was awesome. I'm on the Anonymous ROM v6 on EE03 and it works great. Why would a google "beta" not work on a rooted device. Then everyone at the developer conference would be out of luck I guess. Haha
rooted and working fine. this is the best thing ever, mostly just because i can access my library from any pc! i <3 google!
I received my invite today (applied using a proxy). I've installed the PC software but can't get gge app to download. The link in the music player takes me to the market but the install button doesn't do anything. Does anyone know where I can get the apk?

Google Movies

After having to do a factory reset, my movies tab in the market is gone. I wiped cache twice and left it alone for a few hours to see if it would auto update. Thus far still nothing has changed. Also when I go to the video app and hit shop, it just takes me to the web market, not the app.
Anyone got any idea what I could do? Thank you
I just picked up a galaxy tab today, the movies tab didn't show up before the touchwiz update and still isn't there afterwards.
I had the movies tab after I got touchwiz, not anymore though lol.

Thanks so much it worked
I tried everything in that thread, but I stilldon't have a movies tab.
No luck
Thanks for the suggestions. I have done that but same problem. There is still no movies section in market. I have the movies application though.
After the touchwiz update I had that movies section the market but after factory reset it was gone. This is very very strange to me.
Can someone please tell me the market app version (the one with movies section)?. You can check the version number from settings->Application->Manage Applications->All and by going to market. I believe mine is 1.0.28 but I am away from home so I can tell for sure.
Guys. The movie section in market working now. Shutting down market and clearing data & cache alone does not work. You also have to remove your google account from accounts & sync. Open market and it would ask you about google account. Add account and market would start working properly (with movie section). If you are using tab outside US then connect vpn before doing all this procedure.
