Some help please my fellow kaiser users,
Every time I visit http://nl.youtube.com/?nomobile=1 pocket internet explorer hangs after downloading about 188kb of the site. It wont close, and wm6 stops responding to input..
I have used the site before, no problems, played streaming video content fine. Any idea's how to fix it? I tried restoring default regs/setting for PIE. Or is it just something with the website?
Could some just try to load this page on their kaiser and report if it works?
(Using PIE from T-Mobile NL original rom.)
SOLVED the PIE crashing on youtube
The activex control of the pocket IE flash plugin I was using, caused the system to become unstable when browsing to a site with a lot of flash.
By removing the flash active x control, I can once again watch youtube material.
Good for you dude, i still can't play streaming video through my TyTn2.
I use the KPN Mobile network, which network do you use?
I use T-Mobile PIT, 64kbps capped UMTS connection, but this is way to slow to watch youtube vids, so I'm talking about streaming youtube content over wireless lan connections only..
PIT is too slow indeed.
Still, my friend has Telfort and streams youtube without buffering once. Could it be that he's using HSDPA bandwith and therefor will receive a bill of one-kazillion-million Euros at the end of the month ?
Anyway, we'll just have to wait. In a year or so our Providers will surely get us some higher speeds.
mr4000, I am having the exact same issue. About 185kb it hangs. How do I remove the activeX control?

On wifi plays youtube flawlessly but the video stutters whilst on HSDPA...
Has anyone else got this problem ?
I'm sure I had it working pretty good before.
recent tcpmp problem too
I do not know if your having the same issue as I am. I had flashvideo bundle and tcpmp installed and working fairly well.
Now I notice that I can barely playback any youtube vids.

Youtube + Other sites work fine for me, check the signal strength of your HSDPA connection as that could be the problem, or maybe your provider has put a cap on how much can be downloaded to the phone?

Not sure if that is it as the network monitor shows 800-900 kbps whilst streaming youtube.
Could it be the way that the packets are hitting the TCPMP whilst over HSDPA ?
PPCs and PCs are affected by youtube changes!!
It could also be the fact that youtube are constantly changing the way their videos are accessed.
What worked flawlessly on my PC last week, no longer works this week (due to country limitations now). So if this is how youtube is going regarding PCs, expect problems on PPCs.

I've noticed the same problem viewing any videos. I'd give an answer, but I dont care enough about watching videos to search for an aswer.
I have been using the flash video bundle with tcpmp to watch video on youtube without any problems.
I'm new to this and I came across Flash 7 for Windows mobile and was wondering if this is similar, the same, better or worse than what I have now. I didn't want to install it until I have more info...

thats totally unrelated to the flash video bundle
edit:
ok not totally unrelated but they are two different things. installing flash 7 is not gonna make your flashvideobundle any better, its not like an upgrade to it
Sorry. I posted this question in a new thread and the moderator specifically said to post this in a Flash Bundle thread and shut the new thread down. Obviously I don't understand the relationship between these two things and would like some info. The moderator thought this might be a good forum for that.
There are other web sites I visit similar to YouTube that have videos. When I try to access them I get the message to download the latest flash player. I'm not sure why they aren't handled similarly to the YouTube videos, but if there is a connection between the flash bundle and flash player 7 as it pertains to this issue, I would like to know. Thats all. If not, then I stand corrected...
the flashvideobundle only works with the sites defined in the video sites.....you know what, why am i even bothering to explain this to you (i mean this in a nice way) i did write a wiki article just to answer these questions
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FlashVideoBundle
"2.15 When I go to www.youtube.com, PIE hangs or my device hangs.
Some users have reported that the "Macromedia Flash 7 Active-X" plugin causes this hang and is incompatible with the FlashVideoBundle. You can try removing Flash 7 to see if it fixes this."
Thanks. This pretty much answers the question of compatibility. I have not seen the flash 7 plugin. Does it have similar/overlapping functionality? Obviously you have provided this bundle to play flash video so there must be some inadequacies to it (flash7).

I dont know what kind of problems you're experiencing but the new flash player is faulty (and yet, adobe does not remove the update from their site/update systems).
If you have it installed; there's a high chance that at a sudden point, videos will only play for 3 secs (without sound) and then stop.
Skyfire FTW
I now use Skyfire. It plays all video sites. even HULU, Monk....
hsdpa youtube glitch answer
the reason your phone plays youtube videos choppy when you are using hsdpa and not wifi is because the hsdpa signal is a highly compressed data packet that your phone has to uncompress which takes up a bit of your phones processor speed not leaving enough to play all of the frames of the video.if it really bothers you when using the hsdpa try downloading the video first then playing it first i guarantee it will play as smooth as silk.(before playing you also might want to close all other running programs as phones have limited resources ie. memory,processor speed.
Flash has become my biggest headache. I can play youtube just fine. The Youtube player in M2D update 20 plays smooth as buddah. What I can't get past is that half the internet gives me a message about needing Flash 8 or higher. Countless hours searching dead-end threads, useless links, and useless installs have left me without success. I can view most of these sites with Spyfire, but for obvious reasons, I prefer to avoid that browser. Opera is my default browser, and I dig it, but the Flash issue has me frustrated. PIE is no better. I can't even run a speedtest. I've run them with Skyfire, but because it's rendered through their server, it's inaccurate. I don't believe I'm getting 7.5MB/s with Edge, even tho my speedtests say so. If there's a way to get flash 8 content to run in Opera, it would be nice to see that info on the Kaiser Wiki, and eliminate all these threads.
As far as Youtube, like I said, it plays fine in the M2D update 20 package. I'm running the SPB 3.0 build 6411 interface with the M2D disabled in Today, and the youtube player still works fine.
ok...so I've been using my diamond as a modem for my computer, using internet sharing and T-mobile Pay n go web and walk for about a year (UK).
Althrough it is a little slow at times when watching videos and you might have to sit there for a few mins every now and again to let it buffer, i've never really had any problems. Now the last few days it seems that T-mobile have restricted this somehow and seem to be cutting the connection every few minutes which means my videos stop buffering usually, (eg. Megavideo wont re-buffer once the connection has been lost, even briefly!) and I have to refresh the site and find my place on the video again, which is very annoying!!
I dont know how many people use their phone as a modem and out of those who do, who watches videos on their computer with it....but I'm really hoping that I'm not the only one who is experiencing this and its because its a fault with my phone!
Anyone?
Cheers
T- mobile have a fair use policy of 40mb a day on their PAYG. and are now inforcing this more now. have you changed the price plan resently cos this could be the reson as their are more restrictions on the new price plans.
I received my diamond 2 on Saturday (yay) and couldn't wait to start playing with it. However it does have one major problem straight out of the box and i wonder if anyone else has experienced it.
The opera browser is very unstable. It triggers a general exception error from Windows and either constantly asks to send error reports (duely turned off!) or just shuts itself down. Anyone else experienced or found a fix?
Secondly the browser keeps trying to render in mobile mode unless i select the link to go to HTML, how do i turn that off cos the screen renders full screen beautifully.
A few other annoyances, The data connection only seems to work on HSDPA and not GPRS, this is a potential big problem.
The youtube client only works with a wifi connection, what!! HSDPA is easily fast enough to stream, is this specific to my device.
Anny assistance would be appreciated as i would like to know if these problems are specific to my device or just general annoyances.
Cheers.
I don't recognize your problems at all. Opera hasn't crashed one single time on me since I got the D2 last friday. It works very fast and stable, better than any Opera cab I installed on my old Cruise. Full screen (not mobile view) works excellent and is always default in my Opera.
I haven't deliberately used the data connection over GPRS yet, but I have seen the G symbol instead of the 3G or H symbol, when being in some areas. So at least it does see the GPRS network correctly. I have no reason to assume it wouldn't work there.
The youtube application works great too. Completely stable and fast, again not like any Youtube cab I tried on my old Polaris before. And I just tested, it works through wifi and 3g.
I'm sorry for your problems. I am really surprised on how great my Diamond2 is. I think they really hit the nail on the head this time. I don't know how to solve your problems, but if this behaviour happens even directly after you hard reset the device, I guess your only option is to send it back.
haven't had any of that really myself and i actually tried to 'overload' opera. I run it fullscreen an all.
have you tried the general discussion forums? If it's opera itself, you'll maybe find something there.
youtube is a bit sluggish at times in 'hq mode' but fine otherwise for me
why is hsdpa over gprs a problem? Both are for data, just hsdpa is quite a bit faster even when taking the fastest gprs vs. the slowest hsdpa data rate.
unless networkcoverage is an issue in your case i wouldn't personally pick 2G over 3G..
maybe you're simply the unlucky one, harsh as it may be.. have you tried HTC customer helpdesk?
I haven't had those problems with opera, haven't seen it crash once yet. Have you tried a hard or soft reset?
I do notice opera on the Diamond 2 is terribly laggy compared to opera mini on my old mobile. Tried skyfire and it's worse, iris about the same.
I found the youtube app works great over HSDPA (and wifi), now this version I do prefer and can't find any faults with it.
my opera crashes if a proxy is enabled on connection settings.
did not have any crashes as i do not use the internet
but when using quickmenu it always shows the opera runing.
you cannot stop it weird

Push internet maybe? (just guessing)
cheers for the replies. I've actually hard reset the device aswell as soft resets. however opera still remained unstable. the problem seems to be with windows though as the error message was from windows and an install of opera 9.5 beta 2 caused the same problem. seems ok now though so will have to to monitor it.
i have to say youtube is a concern as it won't connect unless on wifi.
may take some getting used to or may need sending back, either way i think the software is at fault though, i think the device itself is top notch.
I say it's ok and 30 seconds later opera crashes. dame windows and it's nuances!!
I've experienced some strange behaviour of windows and some programs on my old Cruise some time. Frequent crashes, windows errors and other annoyances, like frequently loosing activesync connection and not seeing the sd-card. In the end, it was caused by a faulty board inside the device. After replacement of the board all problems where gone. I had spent hours trying other ROM's and hard resetting before that.
What I'm trying to say is, that sometimes hardware faults are just causing minor problems, while the device works well most of the time. Then you're eager to think it's a software or ROM problem, but it ain't always. If I were you, I'd send it back. I do understand that's not something you'd really like to do when it just arrived

Tried the proxy thing?
As Trinode says you really do want to turn off the proxy setting within the connections page of WM itself. T-Mobile, for example, always adds the useless proxy setting which will almost certainly crash Opera when you look at Gmail.
Why oh why does the connection wizard still insist on adding a proxy when you clearly don't need it?
Thanks for all the replies, this forum really is bloody usefull!
I have tried the proxy thing, and was waiting to respond to test but incredibly this seems to have done the trick! Opera hasn't died since i removed the proxy. Thanks trinode.
I'm with you wibberly, can't see why on earth they need this proxy setting in there, my data connection is far more stable and opera now seems to work fine. Weird!
One thing though is that the youtube app stil doesn't register a network connection through the phone signal, WIFI only. Wonder if this is a T-Mobile data restriction? The fine print from them does say that you shouldn't stream videos. Didn't affect my last contract though. That said i can't say i'm too bothered so long as the device itself is happy.

Maybe you can try it with someone elses SIM?
Damn proxies indeed. They always block all my e-mail connections. Turning it off is the first thing I do.
I too had the opera crash problem, but after ttrying to get hotmail to work in TouchFlo natively by turning off the Proxy settings, I've killed two birds with one stone... Stable Opera + Hotmail in TF3D! Wohoo.
Now, who can help with my next query?
I've tried to set the max number of tabs to 6, (as I that's the way I had it set up on my old D1,) under opera:config, and change the user id to sgh-i900 so I can get BBC iPlayer, but doesn't matter how many times I do this, (and press save settings, just incase you ask,) every time I launch Opera, it reverts back to it's default settings, so I'm stuck with 2 crappy tabs and no BBC iPlayer!!!!!!
Any ideas?
Is it possible to change the default Internet Browser to IE from Opera when you press "Launch Browser"?

Well, this didn't sort the problem for me. I don't use a proxy. I get the error when rss heb notify is on and it notifies for new updates. Wether I press OK or cancel there it gives the shell32.exe error.

Just to reiterate the above. I received my TD2 today on T-Mobile from mobilephonesdirect.com and Opera was a crashfest until I removed the proxy setting. IT IS A MUST DO SETTING CHANGE!

hey guys.,
my problems is i wanted to upload a 50 mb movie file which i recorded with my SGS to my youtube account.
thing is it will not allow me, coz it asks for wifi connection.
however is there a workaround this? or other applications to fix this?
sure you can, as long as you stay in a good conection area, you can easily upload the recorded videos on to youtube via 3G.... asuming you have a good data plan package
I have a good plan . But the phone seem to be programmed not to allow files over 3 mb to be uploaded over 3g.
I thought maybe there is a workaround this
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
this is correct. i have the same problem. its programmed in the phone that whenever u going to upload big movies to youtube it automatically requires wifi instead of 3g..
im interested if there is a solution
Interested too....anyone?
I have recently upgraded my Note 8 to a Note 9. I'm a T-Mobile One customer with unlimited 4GLTE data. I'm having a lot of issues steaming HD content on Youtube as it keeps on buffering. My current download speed on the Speed test is 70mbps. When I look at the youtube data bandwidth it's only reading 0-1.5mbps.....
I called Tmobile technical support without any luck. I've tried everything, I have even hard reseted the device and the constant buffering it's still there. I have no idea what's causing this issues because now apparently the Tmobile One doesn't have the binge on feature that would be most likely causing this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Do you have the One Plus feature? And if you do, did you enable HD streaming in your T-Mobile app for your phone number? One Plus was free last year for a promotion, if you added it after that promotion it was $5/month, then upped to $10/month, and now it's just been upped to $15/month. Without the one plus feature you will only be able to stream 480p video across all video streaming platforms.

If you just have T-Mobile One streaming is limited to 480p (DVD quality) you need the T Mobile One Plus add on which is $15/line and then you will get HD streaming
