I've searched the forums and found the android fix for this, but this issue is slightly different. I installed xron cm7 on a friends touchpad, and he's telling me that amazon video on demand isn't working on the Web OS portion of the boot. I told him how to fix it for the android side, but I was wondering why the install would have anything to do with his ability to stream videos through the browser on the web os portion. He's telling me it just stays stuck at connecting, then sometimes freezes.
Any help is appreciated.

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.
Whenever I click to watch certain videos for example a comic video from raywilliamjohnson, the app will load the right title, description and comment section but the video being play will turn out to be something else like a cooking video or a game show.
I noticed the problem first happened one night when I marathon-watched subscription videos from raywillamjohnson on youtube app (2.0 version) After an hour, the app started to play wrong random videos. And the problem has been permanent ever since.
It seems like a cache issue and I have been trying to fix and the following is what I have done but nothing solves the problem permanently.
- I factory reset, deleted cache partition, deleted catch and data of the youtube app, formatted phone memory. Still the same.
- The problem only happens with wifi connection, 3G connection will load correct videos.
- Youtube on browser plays the videos perfectly. Problems only with app.
- The problem happened first time with the 2.0 youtube app that I updated. I tried the 2.1 app but still the same problem. Downgrading to the stock 1.6 youtube app solved the problem. Videos loaded correctly. Perfect.
- I had been happy with youtube 1.6 however, the latest firmware update from Samsung includes 2.0 youtube as stock. And the problem comes back again. I found youtube 1.6 apk from the internet and replaced the stock 2.0 with 1.6 but once I reboot the tab, it will install and replace with 2.0 youtube app. So this doesn't solve problem permanently...
- I believe this is a cache issue hidden somewhere (maybe I'm wrong?). I didn't root the tab so I tried to clear the cache and data of every running app and somehow the youtube app played videos correctly again. But I lost all other settings and this messed up the settings of the whole phone and I finally had to factory reset again... and guess what.. the problem came back :S
I'm really at loss what's going on behind the system that causes the problem.
I googled and searched the forum and seems like I'm the only one in the world with this weird issue. Please help (T.T)
Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks.
Same problem, running on an Evo 2.2. Happens for me on 3G & 4G.
My temporary fix that should work for you, is once the video starts, click the HQ button. The video will pause a moment and reload and it should be the correct video. You can then click the button again, and go back to whichever viewing mode you were at before.
I had this happen last night. Was watching a news broadcast on Youtube and all of a sudden the video switched to a hunting show, but the audio stayed the same...
Was very odd, but I didn't find a solution..
Same goes here, I have been facing this annoying problem with my "HTC Desire HD" and other devices!
I believe the latest youtube app is missed up. Also I like the previous Youtube app which I had been using on my previous device "HTC Hero" I think it was 1.6 version.
Moreover, I agree.... clicking HQ tap immediately just before the video plays will prevent it from playing different thing and taping back on HQ will plays it back as HQ I'm assuming.
Now how can I make the old version permanent even after rebooting.
I am facing this problem with three devices.
Desire HD
Acer Iconia a500
& HTC Flyer
All of them are linked to the same youtube account.
It might be a subscription issue. I think I have read it somewere.
Thank you
OMG, so this issue has been there since 28th December 2010
since it still happen to many people until now (24th Oct 2011) at lease 2 people I know just asked me about it and how to solve it.
I found a link under google's Help forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=06b3f1a933950603&hl=en
the only solution now is to click on the HD icon when the video starts playing, or to use the browser.
Not sure why it is taking google that long to solve it, or they are not yet aware of this issue!!!
YouTube for Android plays the SAME VIDEO no matter what I choose
Instead I see another video, I've rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared the app's cache, data, whatever even factory data reset .. Can anyone help! Advice! Thanks

Try changing your default search engine to something else (android device) and or allow 3rd party cookies (windows 7). The problem is actually with your internet service provider. You can change this as well for a more perminant fix, but first test it at a friend or family's house.
I've got a few purchased Nook books, and they sync perfectly between my HTC Android phone Nook app and my desktop computer Nook app, however the rooted Nook Color refuses to sync. I've tried several times, but no dice. The books show up on the Nook, but the page read just won't sync. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution short of rolling the Nook back to stock? It's kind of driving me nuts when I switch between devices. Can't find this issue mentioned anywhere else.
Love the rooted Nook besides this 1 issue.
If no one has a solution, has anyone else noticed the same problem?
I noticed this as well and just assumed that their software doesn't sync pages between devices. The Nook app on my G2 pulls down my purchases just fine, but does not remember where I leave off.
Anyone else?
My HTC MT4G definitely syncs with B&N's Nook store - last page read shows up when I open the same book on the PC Nook software - and vice versa.
B&N claims that their software syncs across all platforms. I'm thinking Rooting breaks this.
I use the nook app on epic 4g and the nook color reader (rooted) and the 2 don't sync. I would love to flash my nook color to stock and try, then try after a fresh root (since I have a few things that seem to break over time with root) but i sadly don't have enough time right now.
Also my in store wifi features don't work. Anybody here have in store working wanna check if sync also works?
not really sure what the issue is with my nook HD+ with CM10.1 but doing anything online with it is painfully slow. It doesn't disconnect but when I am browsing it takes forever to open a page and downloading apps from the play store is almost impossible. And by impossible I mean that after the first few MB of downloading, it stops downloading. I downloaded the Speedtest.net app and the ping speeds are decent and it will start to run but then it generally gets to around 30%-75% of the download before it stops and then it times out. I have uploaded a quick video of it to youtube so you can see what I am talking about.
Its so bad that it makes the tablet almost unusable and nothing else in the house has issues so whats up? I have dones asearch on google and on XDA and I can't find anyone else having an issue. I have the rom installed on the devices memory so it is not running off of an SD car or anything. I followed the "for dummies" walkthrough.

Fixed. For some reason my router didn't like the Nook
Hello,
I recently purchased a silver HTC One 32GB (european version with LTE). I S-OFF-ed it and installed the rooted version of "[RUU] Google Edition Conversion. 4.4 RUU Zip pre-rooted/non-rooted + Firmware".
The problem is that youtube stops working after a while (both in youtube application and in chrome). Basically no video plays anymore. Every other functionality works fine except playing videos. Chrome tries to play the video but it says "This video cannot be played". If I try again in Chrome, it simply closes (I guess it crashes). Youtube application just shows the loading animation (on the black background) and just sits there indefinitely. Mx Player works fine with videos stored on the phone (I guess it uses it's own codecs).
Rebooting the phone makes youtube to work again (sometimes) but after a while it stops working again.
I would've posted on "[RUU] Google Edition Conversion. 4.4 RUU Zip pre-rooted/non-rooted + Firmware" thread, but I have less than 10 posts.
Any idea what the problem is or how could I overcome it? I also tried factory reset, clearing cache/data, etc. Nothing works, it does the same thing. I also searched and couldn't find anyone with a similar problem like me.
I don't know if the original firmware was working well because I didn't use it more than 1 hour (I must say I like the stock android experience).
Thanks
