I came across a weird error tonight on my Vivid.
I was initially unable to upload any videos to Youtube. I cleared data and logged into the app again several times with no success. Several google searches led me to a solution that basically required me to log in with my youtube username, rather than my google account that was already configured on the phone. However, the most recent youtube app wouldn't allow you to log in with anything other than a google account, so I had to roll back the update. Finally I was able to log in with my youtube username and password.
Now I can upload videos, but when I go to the gallery and switch to just my Picasa albums, I get a sign-in error for my Youtube account. And no matter what I do, I can't upload any pictures to my Picasa account. My albums list won't populate in the uploader drop-down.
This is completely retarded. Basically my google services won't work together on my Android phone and all of my accounts are linked. Seriously? Anyone else having this issue?
TL;DR version: Can only upload to youtube if signed into older version of app with youtube username/password. Can't upload to native Picasa at all (Picasa tool app works). Get sign-in error for Youtube account when I try to view my Picasa albums.

I can't upload videos to YouTube. When I go to the gallery and try to share via YouTube, it says "failed to retrieve account info" immediately. It does it so quickly that it's obviously not actually trying.
When I go to YouTube using the browser and try uploading from there, it crashes the browser and sends me back to the homescreen with no error message.
I am using CM6 nightly from 08062010.
Can anyone else recreate these problems?
i have the exact same problem! can anyone help?
Was this ever resolved?
I have the same issue when trying to upload to youtube with the 3g connection.
Turn on wi-fi and it uploads golden... just my 2 cents
I have gotten it working.
I had to go to YouTube on my computer and create a new account.
Then I opened the YouTube app and hit menu, then my account. Then use the new account to login.
It works great now. I wish that I could have used my "linked" Google account, but it's fine this way.
Now when I want to share via YouTube from the gallery that account is the automatically chosen one.
Wow that sucks I really wanted to use my existing account
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I FIGURED IT OUT. U have to log into your gmail account on the comp and enable multiple sign in. Work great except I recorded a video on the 720p setting but wen it uploaded it was only 360

oh nvm 720p works great its just the nexus one doesnt play 720 in the browser
Slideshow feature is missing in Gallery for Picasa Web Album after ICS 4.0.4 Update in my 7310. I was able to run slideshow of Picasa Web Album in Gallery earlier in HC 3.2. I have synced all the Google Account including Picasa Web Album. I am able to view all the picasa web albums in Gallery. Slideshow is working only for Downloads, Camera, Screen Capture but not for Picasa Web Almums.
Please suggest how to fix or to make it work. Is there any free apps which will do this. Thanks.

Thanks djcasal,
I tried this app just now, but it is not supporting Picasa Web Albums.

I have Googled your problem, and there are several Motorola Xoom forums that claim the sync was removed from ICS. Others in the forum report they can sync again after installing Google+ (going back from Google+, is not a real option after that).
There was even someone who installed an older version of the Galary app, he needed to flash it by zip (lost his camera function and installed ICS Camera).
You could try the Google+ option, if not rooted. But check the forum first for more info:

Hi djcasal, Thanks for your efforts. My only problem is that Slideshow Feature is not available only for Picasa Webalbums. Otherwise I am able to sync to Picasa, Google+. This feature was disabled only after ICS 4.0.4 update whereas it was available in HC 3.2. I have one throught the links provided by you but so far no fix reported.
does anyone have their Picasa Web Albums showing in the stock Gallery App? I was able to see them on all of my prior devices (both stock and custom ROMs, including KitKat). I do see the "photos" app, which has them, but I prefer they were in the gallery app.
thanks!
Picasa is dead isn't it? It's now Google Photos.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'l take a stab at it.
I used to have some Picasa albums, which were eventually merged into Google Drive. No matter what phone I have, they always seem to appear in my gallery app. Somehow, all of my Picasa albums were merged into Google Plus. To access them, you can navigate to picasaweb.google.com/
They show up in my stock gallery app, and I didn't change any settings to make that happen.
I hope that helps.
Just in case anyone is interested. I know you can use YouTube, but there are more flexibilty with Viral. You can set specific resolution for the videos. And you can log in using web login so you only your YouTube account is logged into the app, instead of having to log your Google account into the entire phone.
There are some bugs in this early Chromecast version though.

I've installed YouTube Vanced via petal search on the Huawei mate 40 pro. It logs in fine and has been working properly. However, if I log in to Gmail and look under the security settings. I find a new device that has been logged on to my Google account. It comes up as a Google Pixel 4 device, and says I have been logged into that device. I've checked it a few times and there seems to be a link between the new device and the YouTube vanced account. If I log out the device on Gmail I get logged out on YouTube vanced. And if I log back in the device gets signed in again.
Is this some mechanism used by youtube vanced to use YouTube? Is the YouTube vanced I have a fake version? Is this a personal problem with my individual device not being secure? Or is youtube vanced just not secure for use?
It's a way to fool Google into showing the phone as Pixel 4.
