YouTube links on Facebook app won't open - HD7 General

My apologies if this has been mentioned/answered elsewhere (I did search) but when clicking on a link to YouTube on Facebook, Internet Explorer opens up and then says something like "Can't download file! Windows phone doesnt support this file type."
Is this a bug? Can it be fixed? I've tried installing loads of different YouTube apps to see if it will open the link up in them but it doesn't. This is really annoying!!

the youtube apps dont detect the click through thus doesn't change the link to the m.youtube.com sub-domain, been covered before, no answer to it as yet apart from manually chane the url once it fails?

i tried manually editing the link when it opens in IE but its not a normal YouTube link and all the things ive tried changing it to just give the same error. YouTube links open fine from Twitter and other places, just not the Facebook app which is what annoys me the most. I love my Windows Phone but its missing so many features that would be considered basic by todays standards and Microsoft really need to kick up the pace if they wanna stand a chance of survival!

Have you tried opening it on the Facebook section of the People hub?

aol mail and youtube messaging on phone

i can load up both theses websites and sign in, but i cant view the messaging part of either. Do they run on java script or what? anybody able to do this?
AOL is working fine for me, using Internet Explorer. What browser are you using?
Try going to: http://wap.aol.com for the mobile version.
im using internet explorer but im using the regular aol.com version. can i do the same for youtube? like wap.youtube.com?
it's m.youtube.com for the mobile version. playing videos will be your next problem. Search this site for you tube. There's nothing I care to see on my phone, so I haven't tried it.

Facebook

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)
why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.
Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.
Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?
I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.
I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.
fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld
Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...
Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.
FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.
I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...
I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.
Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....
I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

Don't select them... that's spam 100%. Get rid off what you've installed recently (HD Wallpaper app was the culprit in my case). But, whatever you do, do NOT go to that link!
Wouldn't be adfree that's for sure, never had a problem with it.
Is there any app whick can tell me where this ads come from? I never had them before until I installed adfree, I uninstalled it already thought it came from it..

[Q] Similar apps to 'AirDroid'

ok as the title suggests.... anyone of you know of any apps similar to AirDroid? Ive tried using it and 8 out of 10 times i cannot seem to log in to the webclient to connect my phone....
Please note, im not looking for solutions to this problem here.... just alternative apps that does the same thing more or less....
thanks in advance
There's a app called browsix that I've used before, it doesn't have the nice interface AirDroid does but its has half the features of it. You can find it on the market.
Just thought I'd suggest it.
Tried that one but still can't get it to work properly maybe its something to do with my Wi-Fi.... using Wi-Fi file explorer for now tho..... seems to be ok
search button..... just do it.....
try file expert. it has a feature like tht.
bt nt as good as airdroid
Was abt to download that and give it a shot then I read further into the reviews and although it got good ratings, there were reports of spam and huge battery drain.... sigh... airdroid is still the best so far but for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong with me connecting to the website.... seriously anyone else using airdroid?
search button..... just do it.....
so u r trying to http://web.airdroid.com/ or locally?
ur firewall might block the port
for me, both local and website works fine
The website link is useless for me, the only times I got on it were on the 192.11 etc even that is not stable for me firewall is ok as using other almost similar apps manage to log me on easily
search button..... just do it.....
You might wanna try ES Explorer, since the last updates, it got the SD card sharing function, and with that became the best file manager for me.
i am using es, but does it let you control your phone and its contents from your computer?
Is it possible to transfer data with an FTP server like airdroid or something?
Or can I just access my phones data?

Try websharing app, it has good user interface
With lite version you can upload single file at a time, with full version you can upload bulk files, folder etc. Full version have some nice features.
With airdroid I also have sometimes auto disconnect problem

It does. Check the Remote Manage box in Settings > Remote Settings.
It has been 6 months I dont know if you found anything but I can reccomend a great app just like AirDroid.
It's called SnapPea and its truly awesome. Been using it for some time now and its really great.
Webkey
Not sure if this one has been mentioned but Webkey is astonishingly powerful. Needs root but can connect through various networks; I use it when airdroid won't work. The PC side is just a webpage. Address is http://webkey.cc and you get the app from the Market.
I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to share something I discovered.
Not sure if it has changed yet, but I was using Opera web browser a couple of months ago, and AirDroid does not work with that browser...just an FYI ​
Cool!
Airdroid 2.0 is awesome!
But the below two are very good as well!

Link No Longer Opens in App

Hi - Please forgive me if this question has been addressed elsewhere. I searched the site but couldn't find anything on this issue. I recently upgraded from the Galaxy S4 to the Galaxy S6 Edge. In my old phone, when I clicked on link for post in Instagram for example, the link would open in the Instagram app or I'd be asked when I app/browser I wanted to use to open the link. In my current phone, this no longer happens. The link only opens in the browser with a message saying get the app from the Play Store even I have the app on my phone. Does anyone know why this would happen in the Galaxy S6? More importantly, does anyone know if there is a way to get links to open in the app I have installed instead of the browser?

It's not just IG, I just used that one as an example. Links don't open in any of my installed apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Not sure what to tell you, I don't have any issues. Kinda annoys me to always have to answer what app do I want to open this with.

My old phone did that, it asked and let me select the app for default. My new phone asks but only gives me browser options not apps. I'm sure it's some weird setting somewhere that is the culprit but I haven't found it yet. Thanks anyway!
