I havent seen anyone else mention this, i duno if its a conflict or what.
If i use my google search bar off the today screen, or i open PIE sometimes (havent nailed it down yet as to when) my PIE will open like its searching for the google search or the address i put in. HOwever all i get is a blank white screen?
Resetting the tilt seems to cure this, then i see it does the connecting to medianet blah blah.... is there some sort of hibernate mode or some thing im not aware of? (seems like if i leave the phone on all nite charging this happens)
thnx
sorry if i missed this topic
it's not something I've ever seen:maybe a bug with live search and your ROM: which are you using?
Maybe now is a good time to switch to Opera Mobile 9.5 and set that as your default browser. PIE is enough to make me throw my phone at the wall, and If i were forced to use it again I wouldn't keep my Windows Mobile device.
Each to their own though!
If you don't already have Opera Mobile the latest cab is here which also includes a cab to set it as the default for everything, including the search bar.
you can also download the attached cab which is a standalone google today plugin if you'd like to try a different option. Google made their own today screen search engine but it doesn't seem to be available despite only being released a month or so ago.....strange.
I get the white screen from time to time after putting in push email and having a constant data connection. I enabled the disconnect button to the top connection popup and after disconnecting the phone reconnects and all is well.
i will check out the opera i am using the google today plugin and i have it if anyone needs it.
Thats part of the problem when i use it from time to time PIE opens w/ a blank screen. And i have skyfire, but i have to say for some things i just dont wanna deal w/ the frustration of that stupid zoom button and lag on skyfire so i just use PIE for things like opening streaming content etc.
Could very well be a push email type of problem, i use it constantly w/ 3 or 4 different accounts.
Im using the latest AT&t minus the bloatware.
ITs almost like it wont initiate the medianet .... actually thats exactly what it is. Because once i restart, and i hit search or open PIE it instantly says connecting to medianet........ when its blank it just sits there, never even tries to connect.
One more observation... like i said i use the email alot. Sometimes when i go hit email, then goto>folders>pick an account. It (the email account) will pop up and say disconnecting (??) is it maybe hanging up in the email ? and thats why PIE wont open>? Its exactly (if youve ever had this happen) if you have OPERA open, and you try to use PIE, youll get nothing. (at least in my situation) until you close the other browser. Does that sound right? Ive had it happen serveral times to me, i use SPB so i hit close all then reopen PIE and it works. If this is normal, then id have to assume im somehow getting stuck (connected) to my email.
I have experienced this issue as long as I've had my Tilt.
It also affected my ability to download traffic updates on Smartphlow (a live traffic map for the Seattle area).
Same exact behavior, PIE would just give blank white screen. No change after clearing temp files etc... Soft reset would always get me back on with no trouble (other than the PITA of having to restart the phone).
Now I've recently moved to a house that sits in a reception hole so the Tilt is always bumping back and forth between 3G (1-2 bars) and Edge (4-5 bars). Since moving in 6 weeks ago I've not had the same problem.
It definitely seems related to the length of time that a data connection has been active. I previously could only go 1-2 days tops without having to restart the phone to get good data.
Incidentally though, mail never had a problem, just PIE and the traffic app (didn't try any other apps that I can think of that might have shown the same behavior).
Unfortunately I don't know the true cause or have a solid solution for it, just more of a "me too" post with additional detail in hopes it's helpful for someone to pin down the root cause and find a solution.
+1 to that, It happens to me often, like every few days, no matter what rom I'm on. It seems to only effect pocket ie, opera mobile still works, email still works etc... only pocket ie fails.
I can usually correct it by going into airplane mode and then back which is a bit faster than a soft reset but its still annoying.
I've been experiencing it on the stock ATT rom as well as the many roms I've gone through since getting my tilt. I'm primarily on edge but do go through 3g about once a week or so.

There is our answer then: simply stop using the dreadful Pocket Internet Explorer altogether. It's completely unsuited to QVGA screens and suffers from an inability to support HTML pages correctly and consistantly. Opera Mobile 9.5 on the other hand makes browsing beautiful. It's even a lot faster than PIE over GPRS.
I am having problems as well with PIE. It just refuses to connect to any data signal (Wifi, HSDPA, 3G). All of the other browsers work though. I am a mainly use opera mini, but that is not ideal for cirtain situations. I dont really like PIE but to be honest sometimes I need it as there are issues when I use Opera 9.5 (not being able to use the hardware keyboard, messing around with sound notification settings using the official beta). Has anybody out there got a solution that doesn't involve a hard reset? I have searched around and not found a suitable solution so far. By the way I am using a UK T-mobile Vario 3 with stock rom.
Does anyone have this running on a tilt?
http://www.qik.com/
it's a live streaming web video that uses your phones camera.
Mine gets stuck on launch with "initializing camera". Other people on the qik site with a tilt have the same issue.
Wondering if anyone is running it here or knows how to fix that problem.
there is a cab to enable att video calling, i assume that since att doesnt support video calling that is the problem. search for the cab, youll find it, also try installing att disable hidden proxy cab. hope that helps
cab
can someone post the cab file for tilt here? sms method didn't work for me

no its not! it is for video streaming!
I had forgotten about Qik.
I signed up a while ago, only to discover that our phone wasn't supported!
I've just resurrected my account and downloaded the program and tested it.
It seems to work really well.
tried that cab. it wanted to upgrade to newer version. and still had "camera initializing.."
Maybe because I'm running a cooked rom?

actually no
it's just using a camera source. nothing to do with the HTC front camera and tilt missing it. lots of people have qik running on the tilt. I do not yet.
just trying to help

No it is not. Video calling as a native feature of 3G networks, and it's thus handled by the 3G protocol stack. The Tilt having no front cam and not being meant to use video calling, that function was disabled. It can be enabled and the back cam used instead though.
But that has no effect on any other program wanting to open a video device (either back or front one) and do whatever it wants with it like encoding and streaming its feed over the internet.
Try researching a bit before shouting at innocent people...
Re the program, looks good, I might have a try
whos yelling
I use Livecast w/o any problems.
well, i just put it on my tilt and it works fine just that i get a long delay on the live video.
Works "fine" on my tilt... 10-15 second delay though :-(

I've used Livecast as well but Qik seems to be much better.
I used Livecast at a football (soccer) game that I went to one time.
On my club's forum, people who can't make the game 'cos they're working or they're ex-pats log in and follow/discuss the game online, creating a "match thread".
I posted a link to my Livecast page and gave them snippets of the game.
At one point, my team got a penalty kick, so I was able to quickly start Livecast and let them see the goal (almost) live.
Watching it later the picture was absolutely lamentable though, Qik definitely seems to be a step up from that.
Qik support
hey Guys, thanks for trying the Qik and for the feedback. Actually I'm from Qik team and I want you getting involved in the process of development. I know there are some problems with Kaiser devices. I really want you to provide some debug builds with extended logging to figure out the problem.
If you have any ideas about Qik, things to improve, feature requests please left posts on this thread or contact me directly vovk <[at]> qik.com
Just something that may or may not be relevant to the people who are getting "initializing camera".
I hadn't had this problem but recently I tried to stream some video, realising too late that I was in a bit of a dead spot where I could only get GPRS, not 3G or HSDPA.
I immediately got the "initializing camera" message and it stayed like that until I did a soft reset.
It might (note 'might') be worth checking that you've got a decent 3G signal before opening qik.

Alright, ignore the above.
I'm just sitting here, I had a big ol' HSDPA signal and I thought that I'd try qik...............................
"Initializing camera".
Looks as if signal strength isn't necessarily the deciding factor then.
I'll soft reset, I bet it works then.
Edited to say: Yeah, worked fine again after the soft reset.
Hey, this is my 100th post!
I really wish that the quality of the video could be better. I realize that this is probably a problem more with the Tilt and its crappy video/camera drivers than it is with Qik.
This is something I'm really interested in though, I would like to see what some other phones look like but the qik website doesn't seem to tell you which phone recorded what.
So I just noticed this today when I tried looking up a youtube video:
I went to the Youtube app and found a video to watch and not even a second after I clicked the video I received the following error:
"Cannot play video" "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
I hit OK and tried another. Same result. I tried about a dozen more... same.
I thought that MAYBE the Youtube Downloader app from the Market messed something up. So I uninstalled it. Same result. Rebooted my phone. Same.
Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT:
I originally had this issue over a year ago and the problem literally cleared itself back up. So for anyone still having this issue I removed the ***FIXED*** that I had on the title so you can all post your issues.
A little tip.
Please post details such as cache to sd, rom version, phone version, carrier, wifi/3G/Edge and a logcat would be helpful too.
Also list everything that you have done to try to fix the problem (wipe, cache clearing, etc.) so that you can be helped.
Thanks.
I've had the same happen to me. Seems to happen more often when I click a link from another site. When I browse in the Youtube app it seems to work more often.

It doesn't work at all on the Youtube app.
It doesn't work from a site either. The site just prompts me to view in the browser, steel or youtube app. Of course I don't have flash so I can't view it in the browser so my only REAL option is the app (which doesn't work).
Are you sure there wasn't a problem with Youtube's mobile site at the time you tried? I had a problem like this one night, and it was gone the next day.
I just tried it again. Still having the same problem.
Besides, if it was a problem with the site then I'm certain that more people would be experiencing this problem.
i also noticed this problem last night when trying to show this chick an airsoft video of an event i played in.... sure most have heard of it. "Operation Irene III"
it wouldnt play any videos. however, using the youtube downloader app it downloaded the video just fine. and i was able to view the video.
Just putting that out there for you guys
UPDATE:
I just tried it again to see if it would work. Most do now, although I clicked a couple that didn't. It must be a problem with Youtube and not my phone.
Phew! That's a relief.
Thanks guys.
the same thing was happening 2 me last night while i was trying 2 watch a couple of videos on youtube...

I've seen this issue when I had network problems - for example, I had a low wifi signal and the phone was apparently switching between edge and wifi back and forth while in the middle of downloading and playing a youtube video. The error showed up in the middle of the video.
So, it may not necessarily be the youtube website or your phone, but it may have to do with the state/quality of network connection too - e.g. how many packets are dropped, and how the youtube client is able to handle it.
Just checked it out on mine. I'm not having any real problems. I will, of course, post any problems that occur when I see them.
i seemed to have this problem when i had too many apps running, a quick jump to task manager and kill unused tasks seemed to clear it up. also a reboot would clear it up, im thinking it's a memory issue.

Nah. Tried all of that. Taskmanager, reboot, cache clear, you name it. I think it was a problem with Youtube.

Tried it on 3 (THAT'S RIGHT... THREE) different wifi networks, my 3G network and an Edge network. It wasn't a bandwidth problem.
My 3G I was averaging around 500kb/s
1st wifi was over 2000kb/s (@work)
2nd wifi was around 300kb/s (@work)
3rd wifi was about 4000kb/s (@home)
None were able to play any of the random youtube clips that I tried (which were over a dozen).
If you were wondering if I'm persistant... I am!
i have this problem too,there's a way:setting--application--manage applications,then find the youtube app and push the button"clear data".
try it~

Tried it. Didn't work. But it doesn't matter now anyway because whatever the problem was, corrected itself.
Must have been Youtube last night and this morning (2am to 7am PST)
hi
i have an asus p320 and it's sayies "cannot open video" something like that how can i fix this prob.???? can anyone give me a link to the youtube + fix plss??
Ive also had this happen, but always had thought that it was because every youtube fla encoded video might not be available on their mobile site. It seems to happen more often to me if I am trying to play a video that has been uploaded fairly recently...but I gave up on it a while back so havent checked in a while.
youtube This video cannot be played
This Problem because network firewall, I tested at home it work but my office not work, how to open firewall port for youtube app

well I feel rather stupid now
So I had this problem, and thought the issue was cyanogen. Turns out I was blocking some obscure process with droidwall that is critical for youtube or media player or whatever. I'm afraid I can't say which process it was, because I just went through and enabled everything that remotely looked related to the system.
update
this happens to my g1 with cyanogenmod 4.2.3 all the time. i've cleared caches, rebooted, wiped, etc
repeatable always. random, but repeatable.
any ideas xda ?
So I realized ygm when I'm watching my youtube vídeos on my One it always stops and starts loading. I wanted to know if it is the app or the phone I have all bars and I still next to the router so what's the problem. Someone on another forum said that it was from having flashplayer, I don't know

i have the same issue. connected to wifi, good signal, etc. its hit or miss some videos absolutely will not start the spinner just goes on forever. and if it does play it almost always gets stopped.
ATT Device (google edition conversion 4.3)
YouTube app version 5.0.21
I had thus issue constantly when I was on WiFi using AT&T u-verse. If I disconnected and used 4g it was fine. Changed DNS and all that to no avail. Bandwidth was fine. Went with another ISP and the issue rarely happens. Plenty of factors involved sometimes though.

For many months now I have had an issue with the data speed or lack of on my phone, it is there but the only thing that really works are programs that do not have timeout settings setup it seems such as syncing etc.... but things like a web browser will simply not load a page nor can I use speedtest to test the speed as it cannot even locate a site to test with.
Let me step back a bit, I got a HTC One(M7) after having a htc one X and used the same sim card. I found out that I could get LTE data if I updated my sim card, so I did that and at the time I had about a 18mb connection speed and was quite happy. A few months later I started getting the symptoms I explained above and have not disappeared. I have called many times to the customer support and they would reset something on their end and it would work temporarily but would go back quickly and by work I mean I would get like 3mb down instead of like .1.
On my latest call, the rep said, it seems to be down to 2 things, your phone or sim card so they sent me a new sim card, it is now installed and well, the same thing is happening, yeah!
In the past I have tried a different rom to see if that was it and that did not seem to resolve it either.
I am currently running
Viper 7.0.2, everything stock
has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on what to try? I am close to throwing the phone in the ocean
A couple of weird things to note that seems to point this to the phones problem is that some things work ok like pandora could stream, it may take a while to buffer up, but it plays and things like the facebook will load the text, most times it takes some considerable time to load images but it is still working for the most part. Google maps works just fine and is able to pinpoint my location and many other things but Web browsing on the other hand simply doesn't load pages.
So it weird how it is selective in what will work and what won't for example, the FB chat works in loading text, images are slow to load and searching for images is really hit or miss, mainly miss.
Anyways ideas out there, maybe clear cache of something or what?

APN settings are correct and I would think if my APN settings were not correct, nothing would work.
Basically my symptoms are that a lot of programs that require a good amount of data do not work, ie Pandora takes minutes to maybe load a song, sometimes it can't connect and moves to another song and that one works. Netflix definitely will not work, hulu etc.... these apps simple try forever to connect and never do.
I tested the standard browser, tried to load a page.... nothing, cleared cache and history and immediately tried again and boom the page came up. Within seconds it was back to not loading.
