HTC Youtube App help

Hey guys I need your help,
Up until today I had this app was working fine, the only thing that I installed today and also uninstalled is coreplayer. Now the pic for the vids will not show up when I search for vids or have vids saved. Here's a screen shot...
Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm.. Having the same problem, but didn't know if Coreplayer was the problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Same Problem to me!
Yesterday i noticed that i have the same Problem.
(Only installed SPB3, but don't think that's the Problem)

yes i installed spb3 also and removed it i just did hard reset and did full back up and still have the same problem

Im having the same isue. Seems rather sudden. Also, im getting the feeling that the app isnt enabling all videos to be displayed. For instance when im looking for a certain music video that i would easily find on the youtube website isnt found on the app.

Videos will still play but the thumbnail pics wont show up, but in my saved videos tab pics show up prior to 2 days ago. Meaning the videos I saved a while ago shows up but if i try to save a new video the pic wont show up. How odd huh?

Same thing here.
I think this happened after i installed core player, not sure thought...

I'm thinking that this is actually a Youtube issue as I certainly didn't have this issue previously. Especially if it's happening after HR.

I just thought after Iinstalled coreplayer and sbp 3.0 it change some registry and couldnt change it even after hard reset. But I found something when searching for vids the thumbnail pics will not show up but if I click on the "i" icon to the right the picture will show up. There must be a fix and are you having the same problem?

I think its about time we get together to make our own youtube app. Im also kind of upset that im not recieveing the full video list. It seems like the videos i look for and know are on youtube arnt displayed on the app for some reason.

So anyone find a fix for this?

I believe that YouTube App shows only the videos which are available in High Quality and not Standard Quality as our PC does. That's why video lags too...

nobody has a fix for this?

I read somewhere it's cause by changes in youtube side and it affect HTC Youtube App v3. Older version (v2?) does work but you lose landscape view of the apps.

Samsung Galaxy s i9000 Mic sensitivity recording

This is my first samsung. And I think i'm a bit spoiled as a nokia n900 user. But the recorded sound on my samsung galaxy is just horrible in comparison to my n900.
Last night I went to a show of cypress hill here in the Netherlands. And started recording. The video quality is super. Only the noise makes it almost impossible to distinguish any of the songs etc. I mean really horrible.
After some research i found out that users with the samsung omnia had this same issue, and they found a solution wich was adjusting some settings in the hidden menu of the phone.
Is it also possible to adjust these settings in the galaxy s i9000?
Below are the settings for the omnia hd reducing
with phonepad digit *#0002*28346#
then 3) Record
then 04) CamcordARM_AMR (this is volume gain in video record)
Go to
TxMicAmp : 24
digit 18#
and then when you go back will see
TxMicAmp : 25
Then go to
Tx Channel: 18
digit 18#
and then when you go back will see
Tx Channel: 18
To save all changes go back back
6)Backup and will show "Backup OK"

Yeah I noticed the heavy clipping (sounds like static, noise, distortion) in all of the Galaxy S recordings. I haven't really seen anyone else mention it.
However the Omina HD runs Windows Mobile does it not? Totally different OS there..

this should show that menu *#197238640#

Any luck with this? I have opened the service menu, but no idea what to do after that.

i also would like a fix for this!

I got the same problem when I try to run VOIP application. The noise is so terrible. I can enter "service mode", but I don't know how to setup them either.

Same here, video recording is quite useless like this... Went to a concert last evening and video is great but sound is ultimate crap! As in one big pile of noise.
But also when recording a video in the car, with just the radio on, is stretching it... It is at least possible to distinguish different sounds but already distorted.
Such a shame! Any fix for this would be great (and couldn't find much in the servicemode settings unfortunately).

I'm using the JM2 firmware and the sound of recorded videos is poor.
I wish we found the solution, as I had found on i8910

Meh, contacted samsung helpdesk (mail) and got a standard response
'We are currently developing a firmware update, please keep an eye out for it on the samsung website'. (translated from dutch ).
My guess is the firmware update won't fix a thing since it's still present in JM2 but we'll see.

In other words: keep waiting. Saying it will be fixed in next release is the best way to keep customers happy without doing anything
But on the other side maybe with 2. 2 it will be fixed.

Yup, I know... But what can you do. They prolly also don't know much about the technical stuff.
At least there's a new firmware coming up, I think I'll give JP3 another shot and see if things have improved there.

Hey guys,
anyone tried playing with *#*#197328640#*#* => audio => handset => diamond solution => voice booster? or acoustic shock free? sounds like something related to me, gonna try.

that's a good tip
can more people confirm if this optimization works well?
if so, then we can put this as a sticky / FAQ / wiki

Disregard my post about Diamond solution, it's for headphones. I'm pretty sure some parts of the service menu => audio => handset could be tweaked to make audio recording better, just need someone who knows what means what.

There is a way to alter the recording volume during the recording however it requires adb shell and it only lasts for the duration of the remainder of the recording.

That's something at least, wanna share that?
Also I found a quick and dirty workaround if you wanna record some music before some kind of fix appears - just put your finger on the mic hole while recording ^^

cant play videos in stock players

When selected it only darkens the screen...but nothing
Plays fine on mobo player.
Tried recording and playing, but get the same issue. I can open and play it on the movie editor app..
So much for being anxious about the damn update

Are you updated to 3.2 ? Sounds like some people had problems with the 3.2...

Yes 3.2
Never rooted

rotate 90 degrees rty again and itshould work normal from then on i and others have confirmed it works stange fix but it works

Nego_0, it works UNTIL you restart your TF. Once you restart, it is back to needing to apply your fix again. Again, it is fine until you restart. Try it.
The problem seems to be when it needs to load the "complete action using" screen for the user to choose the program, the screen does not show up. If you apply the fix Nego_0 is suggesting it will work. The you can choose the default player such as Moboplayer and then it will always load through Moboplayer as you select your file even after restarting. This bug is reported and members are actively looking for a solution. For now the work around seems to be choose a default player.

I was reading a lot of TF users about this bug after the 3.2 update, I have a WW version and just updated to 3.2 a few hours ago, hoping my TF will not show this kind of bug, BUT to my dismay I am now one of those experiencing videos not playing in the gallery, I just have to dismount from the dock and rotate my TF everytime I boot up from now on or have to choose another player as a default to by-pass this issue. But I was wondering why others did not experience this bug. I updated mine attached to the dock. I am just wondering those who did not experience this video bug maybe they updated to 3.2 without the dock. If anyone who doesnt have this video bug can please confirm if you updated to 3.2 attached to the dock or not. Thanks.

This is not a TF specific bug. The issue also occurs in the XOOM version of 3.2.
If you select a default video, image, browser, etc app you will not experience this bug since there is no need to ask you which application to use to complete the task. This is why some people see the bug and some people do not, and why it seems to only happen with certain types of files.

multitouch issue, hardware or software problem?

i got the same issue showed in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz27tAD1IBQ
Can anyone please tell me if is an hardware or software problem? Shell i use warrenty and contact asus? Thx

The only way to identify it as a software problem would be to change the kernel, or maybe even ROM. But it will probably be a hardware issue.

in this way may i'll have problem in case of warranty? I dont know asus warranty behavior

Do you observe multitouch issues in other applications, or are you assuming that because you can reproduce the effect in that video that you have a problem.
If you enable developer options on the N7, and then turn on (Settings -> Developer options):
- Show touches
- Pointer location
can you reproduce the effects shown in that video? (Probably you need to do this on a blank homescreen or maybe viewing a picture or something so that you are not launching apps).
[Edit] I d'loaded a free market app "Multitouch Visible Test" from the market - it looks like the one in the video, although I can't be 100% sure. There are a lot of those kinds of apps in the market. FWIW, I couldn't reproduce what was demonstrated in the video. Not sure if that means anything though. I'm on rooted stock 4.2.1

As long as you send it in completely stock, they'll never know or care.

i observe multitouch problem durin broswer and photo pinch to zoom. So i download the same application of the video and i understand to have the same problem! :'(
Today i'll try to flash a custom ROM and Kernel. If the issue will persist i'll go to saturn hoping is a quick sostitution. I dont want to send my N7 to ASUS.....

I have not get rid of the issue changing kernel and ROM but it has improved a lot with the combination of Franco kernel, Cm 10.1 and some tweaking in kernel parameters. I also noticed that enabling Force gpu in development options made it go better. I have read somewhere in this forum that all Nexus 7 have the same issue and it will be solved in 4.2.2. I hope it is true.

Full screen Video Apps?

Is there any way to make apps like: YouTube, WatchESPN, NBC Sports, Dish Anywhere, etc. display full screen video around the camera instead of being cut of. Due to the cut off up top YouTube video's are also cut off at the bottom of the screen slightly.

Really interested in this also! Maybe with root?

I can say that MX Player videos get cropped and I wish they didn't.

Not a problem on DirecTV Now. Did I read that the November security update also addressed this?

No, I'm on November update and no full screen option.

Youtube Apk
There is a YouTube modded apk that allows the pinch to zoom feature to work for irregular aspect ratios. Im not 100% sure if this will work on the Essential Phone however it works perfectly fine on the LG G6, it should just crop out some of the video so it can go full screen. Just download the MS Config file and the YouTube apk, dark theme is optional. Unfortunately I cannot post any links as I am a new user, but you can find a link on the LG G6 full screen YouTube thread.

No go, still doesn't work. It does the full screen animation but still shows the black bars.

Yep, me too. Will watch this thread and hope they fix it soon.

Amazon Prime full screen display for 21:9 movies
Saw "Arrival" with Amazon Prime app which utilizes the whole screen including the camera notch bar. Wow! what a sight. Hope Netflix, Hulu and some other video player app can do the same soon.

I'm really upset at the lack of immersive experience. Not a single video app takes advantage of this beautiful screen-- excepting Amazon which is hit or miss with full screen. It seems to differ from video to video...
Anyone know a tweak or a hack to get some immersive support?
Thanks

Another one here watching this ,would love full screen

I guess nada?

I don't know how (and would love to know) but custom ROMS (lineage for example) does the full screen mode.

It super annoying especially when watching videos in Chrome and the nav bar is white and still shows the status bar. If Lineage really does get rid of it, then I might need to rom

Viewing in fullscreen is possible with the aforementioned app. The pinch to zoom doesn't work due to the notch fill in not being enabled. To use fullscreen download the app, enable developer options, and once you've enabled developer options go to essential notch settings, set per application, and choose the app. Then click always use notch area. Pinch to zoom will now allow video to fill the screen, and the YouTube app will make use of the new formatting.
