Known Honeycomb bug:
make sure that auto rotte is enabled (in settings/screen) and when you get that greyed-out screen, just rotate the Xoom (landscape to portrait or vis versa).

[Q] Youtube app

My youtube app doesn't work and shows in settings as 0.00kb, what can I do to fix this problem?
I'm having the same issue. When I search for it in the market, it says "Open" as though it's installed, but when I click open, it brings me to the install screen. I hit install, it shows the progress bar for a second or two and then goes away. I can see Youtube in the manage apps screen, but not in the app drawer. If anybody has any suggestions here please let me know.
If it's just a select few of us, then maybe I'll try a factory reset. I'd just hate to lose all the setup work I did on it today.
It probably installed the "phone" version of YouTube. Uninstall youtube through settings and that will fix it. It is factory installed as part of the moto rom. Installing the market version conflicts.
It is nice that it preinstalls all the apps you had on your phone, but this has caused issues for some people. I uninstalled every app that was auto installed and then manually installed the apps I wanted.
I did a factory reset and it's on there now. Not the most subtle solution, but it worked.
Anyone with the wifi xoom test the youtube HD playback? Whenever I load an HD video in youtube (fullscreen) and click on the screen to bring up pause, seek bar etc the frame rate gets cut in half and I get massive lag. Is this happening to anyone else?
Here's a sample video.. is it supposed to lag/freeze when you tap the screen to bring up the youtube controls?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW8AZD_oaRE&feature=player_embedded
It happens when I don't touch the screen sometimes too, even after the video has been fully loaded.
Thanks..

[Q] Multipicture bug, suggestions?

Hello!
I got an issue regarding MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. The bug started after the app had been working for a while, what happens is that when i go to the Picture Source option (doesn't matter if it is on Common Settings or an Individual Screen) and select Single Picture:
The screen goes greyed out (as if a menu should be popping up leaving the background out of focus), when i before had the option to pick a file explorer to browse with, nothing happens. If i touch the screen or press anything else the menu goes back into focus, i just cant seem to be able to pick a picture.
The popping up of file explorer was quite slow before already, but now the transformer even goes to standby before anything happens.
What i've tried:
Cleaning data of MultiPicture Live Wallpaper
Reinstalling the app
Cleaning data of Launcher Pro Plus (also tried without having it installed at all)
Reinstalling that app as well.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: The nature of the bug doesnt seem to be limited to this app, every time there is a choice of application (opening video or picture for example) is bugged. I will google some more, or feel free to suggest where to look
It's a bug that is present in the 2.3 firmware. The work around is to turn on rotate screen in the settings menu and while your in Live Wallpaper just turn the tablet opposite from what you have it at and the list chooser will appear.
Cheers...

[Q] cannot select default application

I have multiple internet browser applications installed on my xoom yet I cannot select a default. Under settings/applications/manage applications when I click on one of the browsers it says no default is set, so I can't clear the default. Another problem I have that I think is linked is that when i click on a link in an email, it will not bring up a browser, it will just dim out the screen as if I were to select which app to open the link with, but that list never shows up. I'm running the 3.2 tiamat rom and kernel and I am overclocked to 1.4ghz. To fix this problem I have tried to uninstall some of the browsers iI have and then reinstall them one at a time but that still did not allow me to select a default. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to fix it?
Thanks

I just posted this in another thread.
The problem with dimming and no "open with" window is easily resolved. Make sure that auto-rotate is enabled in settings, and thn, when that problem occurs, just rotate the Xoom--like from landscape to portrait mode. That should do the trick.
thanks

I just had this problem too and I'm both annoyed and relieved that this was the solution. I'm annoyed at myself because I uninstalled the browser I was trying to make default and then tested with clearing the default launcher, then also uninstalled ADW etc.

If you would have read extensively in these forums, you would know that this is a known HC 3.2 issue: when the screen dims and the dialog box fails to pop-up, you just have to rotate your Xoom, like from landscape to portrait mode, and the dialog box will appear, giing you the chance to make a selection. You need to make sure that auto-rotate is enabled in settings.
You can also get an older version of gmail that doesn't have that (multiple accounts) bug. Look in the development section, rom threads for the fix.

[Q] Internet Explorer wont open on my HTC Mozart

All of a sudden when I select the Internet Explorer Tile from my home screen on my HTC Mozart nothing happens, it just refreshes the home screen tiles, usually when apps do this rebooting the phone fixes the problem, but not in this case, I cannot open pages from Bing or open links. My phone has been updated to Mango and I have tried to revert back to an older software version but on my Zune there is no option to reinstall the update. I dont want to factory reset my phone because I will lose everything I have downloaded and purchased.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Does it happen if you hit the arrow and select it from your full application list?
If it doesn't remove from home screen and re-pin it.

Thanks for the reply, if I open it from the tile of from the application list it still doesnt open, I have tried unpinning it and pinning it, opening it through links in text messages and through bing but nothing works, I have cleared the history and cookies but still nothing, I dont understand what has caused it.

How do I deploy a .xap file to my device?
Do you have htc connection setup?
if not can you download it from the marketplace and run it?
You won't lose everything.. just saved games. You have to redownload from marketplace but when you click buy, it will tell you you already bought it and download it for you. You can see a list of what you have downloaded at www.windowsphone.com. Sign in with your hotmail id.
not sure what else to tell you from there.

I have the same problem, like like you described. I was using my omnia 7 (wp7.5 unlocked, latest firmware) and suddenly i couldn't open IE, nor launch it from any app. Besides you, i haven't found anybody with the same bug...

Solved mine on Microsoft forums, switching IE settings from "open in new tab" to "open in current tab" miraculously fixed it

I was facing similar issue. I guess I know when it started (but not sure about it).
I had opened Google Search app. I was searching some images. In results displayed, I clicked 1 image. It opened Internet Explorer. When I tried to open "Tab" from Menu to close tab and exit IE, IE was simply not getting close and it was opening continuously. I finally pressed Power button to switch off phone. After phone restarted, it wont open IE. After changing from New Tab to Current Tab in Settings, problem temporarily resolved. But I observed that while internet explorer is open and I open the tabs, it shows absolutely nothing, it doesn't show the tab for the page that is currently open or none of the other tabs that are open. Rather it shows Blank page with symbol to add new tab. But even new tab is not getting added. I tried several reboot on phone but somehow "Tab" thing is broken.
Hope this bus is fixed in 7.8.
(After I reset my phone, now IE is functioning normally with tabs working as well).

YouTube app not working in fullscreen mode when updated?

Hello,
So I've noticed on my S8+ that when the YouTube app is on the latest version 12.17.54 the crop to fit icon is no longer there but if I go to the Playstore app and type in YouTube and hit uninstall, it reverts back to version 11.43.54 and the fullscreen icon appears again and works fine. I've checked settings, done 3 factory restores, even set it up as a new phone on the 3rd try in case it was my Samsung account backup causing it but nothing fixes the issue. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks
Isaac
