I have A500 for a 6 months and have just bought new A501 because i liked it so much. But I have big issue with it.
When I tried to pause, fast forward or rewind, youtube video on A501 always start from begining. I don't have that issue with A500.
I have tried to clear cache, clear data, reinstall flash player, wifi on the same network as A500, 3G network and nothing helps.
Youtube app is v3.2.3 on both devices.
A501 is running on 3.2.1 Kernel 2.6.36.3+

in the past couple of weeks, whenever i try to watch a youtube video using the 3g network, my hd2 would freeze and reboot itself after a few seconds. strangely, i can watch youtube for hours at a time with no problems if i use a wifi connection instead. does anyone else have this problem? i've already installed the latest firmware from the t-mobile website.
this only started to happen recently and nothing about my phone has changed. i've even done a factory reset so i can only think that the problem is somehow with the 3g network itself rather than my phone.
I've had the same issue since i bought the phone. using chucky ROM right now.
Since upgrading to a Froyo rom with Flash 10.1 I was hoping to be able to pull up ESPN3.com and watch some sports but it seems to struggle on my Vibrant. Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble with this? I have tried using 3G and WIFI and it just seems VERY slow and just sits in 'loading' forever.
Am I just missing some settings to make this work?
Alright so I was following some YouTube idiot and rooted my phone wrongly, so it wouldn't boot, so I downloaded the GRI54 Deodexed and flashed it on, completely stock, however, there are 2 weird problems on my GT-i9023 Nexus S
Problem 1 - The wi-fi is WEAK. Not just normal weak, EXTREMELY WEAK. I'm only 1 meter away from the router and I've already lost 1-2 bar(s)??? When I'm out atschool and use my iPod Touch 4g, I get full-bars but with my Nexus S I have only 1 bar and the internet doesn't work at all!
Problem 2 - Youtube buffers videos fine on the wi-fi, but with EVERY video after 1 minute it would come up with an error saying something like touch to retry, and it happens EVERY MINUTE. LITERALLY. 1 minute later, bam, video stops loading. So I reload the video, continue from where it stopped and BAM one minute later, touch to retry.
What the heck is wrong here? The GSM signal is awesome/amazing, I get fullbars everywhere, but the wi-fi and youtube are annoying me.
Should I try out a custom ROM to see if it fixes this problem??
Tried custom roms, same thing.
What channel is your W-LAN AP set to?

Was 6, changed it to 1, no difference.
Oh and I restored using Odin and the weak wi-fi was resolved.
But I still have this weird YouTube problem where it will load a video, then suddenly stop loading it after 1 minute in HQ mode and 3 minutes in non-HQ mode, it's like the wi-fi sleeps or something.
same problem here. Cannot watch youtube videos on both youtube app and browser.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Yeah, same. But weirdly enough Vimeo videos buffer and load just fine, and I can enjoy the whole video? WEIRD.
I have same YouTube problem.
About wifi it seems like I have a problem too: I have a router at home and there are some places where my father's old HTC touch HD gets the wifi and my device doesn't even see the network.
I'm on stock 2.32 had the nexus s since Jan or Feb and I never
Had wifi or you tube problems it must be all that rooting and rom experimenting y'all been
Doing....
Well I'm running a custom ROM and have no problems. My Wifi reception is acceptable and even when I'm far away from my access point and getting just 18 Mbit/s YouTube videos load just fine, HQ mode too.
Problem can be the channel your access point is set to our other Wifis in your neighborhood. You could also try to update the radio on your Nexus S and disable the sleep policy for Wifi connections.
Same here. Even if i sit right next to the router, my wifi speeds are pathetic. Is this a problem with the handset or the android 2.3.4 OS?
Any luck finding out???
My wifi speeds are fine but I did notice the drop in signal. I realized the wifi antenna might be on the bottom or near the bottom of the phone where the buldge on the back of the phone. If you put your hand over that spot your signal will drop ....it's sorta like the iPhones grip of death.
Youtube sucks.. It buffers more than Realplayer did in 1998 on dialup. Nothing to do with your phone..
Hi all
I've posted this on another forum but its a bit dead so didn't get any help.
Recently and it is really annoying but facebook and certain other websites just don't load on the stock browser or dolphin pad.
Now the youtube app seems to work fine but loading a youtube video on either browser and it really struggles. However I can go on project free tv and stream an episode of a programme no problem. Every now and then though facebook etc can work fine and then I turn the tablet off and go back on it and it isn't working again.
So frustrating because it was working fine about 10 days ago.
Thanks
Anyone? Still having this problem, very weird and annoying.
I'm having the exact same problem. All apps work at full speed but any browser i use has trouble and takes a minute or so to load a page. XDA is the slowest site for me, taking 2 minutes to load a page. I have odined twice, rerooted, flashed 4 different roms, all the same. I go to xda on my netbook and my phone, on the same wifi connect, and they load xda immediately.
Did you guys recently updated Flash Player (or had it updated automatically)? I did and I noticed all flash-heavy sites work a lot slower, some videos don't want to play at all, some sites won't even open anymore.
I'll try to remove the latest update or uninstall it completely and look for older version and post back.

well, i tried uninstalling flash but wouldn't let me. so first i disable plugins on the dolphin browser, still no dice. then i froze flash, went back to xda-developers.com and it still just sits there.
I pullled my hair out yesterday with an intermittent internet problem, which I was able to solve by Rebooting my entire LAN and WAN (DSL Modem) systems.
The details of my episode are here: OOPS
Can't post the link, but it is on galaxytabforum.net under the General Discussion sub forum titled "intermittent slow stop go wifi operation"
If you don't want to read the entire post there, just cut to the chase on the bottom line.

im starting to think that there is a problem within the tab itself. i have tried "in paris" rom, overcome rom, stock rom, stock kernals on all, and pershoots kernel with each rom. all apps work fine for internet connection and speed. its just right now, my tab, when going to xda-developers, takes about 2 minutes a page load. google.com, duckduckgo.com almost most websites instantly load. last night i changed dns servers on my tab with no luck. others have reported issues with "find on page" within their browsers, its starting to make me think that there is something wrong with honeycomb itself. when i first got my tab, the internet on any browser was flawless.
Yeh thats very similar to my problem, if not identical.
Sometimes mine works fine and then it is a nightmare (mostly a nightmare to be honest)
This was a problem before flash was updated to 11.
If ur on wifi check if u r on ad hoc mode...
You are describing the exact same problem that I encountered (see post up about 3).
If you can, find another WiFi Access Point (one that does not goback through YOUR Modem or Router) and see if the problem persists. Go to Macdonalds or Starbucks and try your TAB.
If it operates normally there, do a COMPLETE system Reboot on your internet system.

This is one of those problems, I might not be able to explain. After 4 fresh odin attempts, multiple rom flashing, I was still having issues with xda-developers.com. As of right now, I decided, hey will it work faster thru orbot, after running orbot and going to xda thru the orweb browser, now my internet problem has completely disappeared. I can get to xda now either thru orbot, or straight thru no problems. This has me wondering if using odin on the galaxy tab ,doesnt completely erase like on my fascinate. On my phone, odin will take care of any problem guarented, i dont get that feeling with odin on the tablet. After one time I odined the tab, it put a wallpaper back on I had deleted a week previous.
Hello to all
I've recently flashed my MyTouch 4G with the latest build of Cyanogenmod 7 and have my carrier (simple mobile) working with no problems whatsoever, up until Netflix gives me errors such as "There is a problem connecting to Netflix. Please try again (13005)." When I checked it out on my PC and on my PS3, everything was working fine and was able to stream correctly, but not on my phone. I checked out most of the netflix topics that covered this problem, and even went so far as to go to Netflix help with the error code, but it doesn't even show up in there systems. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I tried using the Android Marketplace apk, and a different Netflix APK that dealt with screen rotation, but the same results happen with no streaming. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Just tried it with the latest Netflix on Simple Mobile and it's working fine
i'm also on 7.1 cm stable.... with t-mobile..... issue here is that i have sound but no video.... my guess is that netflix is not supporting android version 2.3.7 ... maybe that is the issue for you too
my netflix works fine and i use simple mobile...
