Problem watching youtube videos

I deleted the Youtube application on my phone, and i can't watch youtube videos anymore or other videos online.
Anyone hwo could help me?

Go to the Market, download it again. Just search for Youtube.

I found mny YouTube applications, but non of them is the same as i got on my phone. I tried to download a couple of the applications i found, but i still got the message "No applications can perform this action".

If you had the old version of the YouTube app, you wont find it on the market. The new one is slightly different but maintains the same functionality. It'll say Google as the developer.

Maybe I'm stupid but I could not find any youtube apps by google when I searched for "youtube"

I'm fairly sure it's only available if you have 2.2.
Are you rooted?

Yes, i'm rooted
I got android 2.1 (x10 mini pro), does that mean that I cant install it again?

It should still come up. Google made it modular like Gmail so that different versions of Android could run it. For now you can play Youtube videos from the youtube mobile website. Those will play with the Android's built-in video player.
EDIT: This is the app. http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
Either use AppBrain or search the Market for "com.google.android.youtube"

When I click the link "download directly from the android market" in the page you linked to, I get the message "the requested item could not be found".

Try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817528

Well, should never uninstalled it in the first place.
I tried the method you linked to, but when i was going to install the application I got the message "Application not installed".

[Q] Missing YouTube on my new Xoom

I picked up my xoom earlier tonight and have been playing with it but I cant seem to find the YouTube app. It says it is installed when I go in settings, but it doesn't show up in the app list. Am i alone on this one?
thanks!

Make sure you click "All" in apps (upper left corner).
If you're in "My Apps", you won't see YouTube, as well as many other apps that are pre-installed.

Did you buy your Xoom from UK? I bought mine from US and I also don't see featured apps for tablets.
About Youtube, it didn't show up under the apps for me too at first, but when I connected to internet and added a google account it magically appeared. It still shows only 8kb in system settings, so this is normal.

Sorry to go off topic but where did you get your zoom from?

Do a factory reset. This fixed it for several of us.
Settings -> privacy -> factory data reset

Missing YouTube Also
I had to exchange for a new Xoom yesterday. I bought it from Costco and cannot get the YouTube app to download. It shows that it is in my system, but it isn't under the apps.
The YouTube app did work on the original Xoom I had, but I can't get it to work on this one. I'm on my 3rd factory reset.
Side note, my 'Books' don't work either...like EL_G15, it says 'Application is not Installed'

They're not missing. They're corrupted. If you go to manage apps you'll see that they'll show 0kb size. Not sure what else we tried but I know specifically that after I rooted mine the youtube and books app were at 0kb. Factory reset fixed it.

On my Xoom the Youtube app works fine but still shows 0kb under settings menu, so I believe this is normal.

i purchased mine from eBay. Its a US unit that the supplier imported. I've tried 3 factory resets, but still no youtube.

Just to add - I just did a Factory reset on a Xoom that the YouTube app worked properly, now it has the same problem as my new one.

Are you familiar with logcat? If we can get details on exactly what's happening, might be able to help.

[Resolved] [Q] Unable to sign into YouTube App - An error has occurred - anyone know how to fix?

Hi,
Wondering if someone could help. I downloaded
While its a brilliant ROM for my Desire S, the dev for reasons unknown has not used apps signed from Play Store, therefore some apps like YouTube refused to update.
Using Titanium backup, I remove YouTube, rebooted the phone, reinstalled it via Play Store, and while its now linked correctly and up-to-date, it refuses to sign my Google account in.
I'm getting an error message stating "an error has occurred" when the app is first loaded, when attempting to click the sign in options and when any video is played.
The videos will play but I can sign into YouTube with my own account to see my history, uploads, channels, etc...
I tried clearing YouTube app data and cache, reinstall but same issue.
Would be a pain to have to wipe and start again considering this is the only app doing this.

Here is the solution that worked for me. If you go into the 'app info' for YouTube, you can uninstall the current update. This seemed to be the problem, afterwards I was able to log in via google. A full reinstalling does not work because that still uses the current update. You must only get rid of the latest update App Version 4.2.16. After doing so, I am using App version 4.1.23 and everything is flawless.
Click and hold on YouTube-->drag to app info-->uninstall updates-->okay --> it works.

Nice Answer! Thanks for your answer.
"'app info' for YouTube, you can uninstall the current update." :good:

Unable to Gamestream?

So I bought this device secondhand from some guy on craigslist. I did a factory reset and first thing i tried was to use gamestream. However, after installing my drivers on my PC, my shield is now saying "Update system software to stream games from myPCname." Upon clicking that, it seems that this is already the latest version.
From my assumption, the previous user rooted and did not unroot causing this to happen. Can someone confirm this or lead me in the right direction?

I had the same problem after rooting it, you have to go to the play store and search for Tegrazone (hub orsomething) and press Update
For some reason the play store does not update it automatically

Cool, let me know if that worked. would help others well

Had the same issue just now. Download Shield Hub from play store. Replaces the Tegrazone. I was just getting unable to connect errors before.
Shame the tegra button cant be reassigned to the new app though

Yup, updating the app was the problem. Thanks!

Prime Video Issue G8142

I'm in the US and bought the 8142 because of the working fingerprint sensor and dual SIM capability.
I can't get Prime Video to work, I try the app and it throws me to the Play Store - which gives me the message of that app isn't available in your country. Also the app can't be uninstalled. I know Prime Video app in the US always has to be installed from Amazon's app store.
Has anyone come up with a work around and or know how to solve this issue?
Thanks

I got mine to work Friday and I'm not entirely sure what the magic bullet was. I think I ended up just downloading the APK directly and installing it from the phone. It did not work right away and I left it alone and some time later I was notifieded the app had updated and now it just works. Before that, I had the same issue where the "app" initially sent me to the Play Store to update and it would then say it's not available in my country. It works and shows up correctly in the Play Store now. I will update this post with screenshots with the version # shortly. Before I side-loaded the APK, the stock app had been disabled since shortly after I received the phone.
US user on TMO.

screenshots. don't have a "before one" but it was just the Play Store region error message. has anyone tried using a VPN to bypass the region issue? i really wish i had a better answer on why mine works now.

Nordvpn doesn't work on my xzp it doesnt connect.

there could still be a region issue as i don't see any 4K/UHD content available.

Had the same issue, all you have to do is turn on setting to install from unknown sources, open Chrome on phone, search on Amazon Underground APK and install the APK, then install Amazon Video from within Amazon Underground. (then remember to turn off from unknown sources.

Thanks for the input. Today I went to try the app again and darned if it didn't open without issue and my usual Prime content is there, I'm now on the ...69501 build of Prime Video. Weird.

This is how I did it as well and I haven't had any problems with the app.
