This is really annoying.
Anytime I have an opportunity to view a video (Facebook for instance) I click on the YouTube video link and a list of "default" apps pops up. But NOT INCLUDED in this list is the YouTube app. All three browsers that are installed appear but no YouTube app. This forces me to select one of the browsers which then navigates to Youtube.com which will play the video in browser mode.
Is there any way to associate the Youtube app to this list of Default apps.
Note:
If I go into the Applications Manager and select any of the browsers and youtube app, the Clear Defaults is greyed out. So it's not as easy as clearing the default app associations and reapplying them.
Running MIUI 2.2.24 on HTC Sensation
Select a web browser from the options it gives you, then it will ask you if you want to open it in the youtube app.
Happened to me, cleared Sense data and cache and voila!

Hello All. Noob here. I've searched the forums as well as google and not found a problem quite like mine. When using Facebook For Android, when I click on a youtube video link, the "Complete Action Using" dialog opens, but the Youtube option is no longer present. The only options are:
Dolphin Browser HD
Dolphin Browser Mini
Internet
Opera Mini
I have checked all of those as well as the Youtube app and none of them have any default setting.
Please advise me on how to get the youtube option to return
Thanks in advance!
*My apologies. Just realized I did not place this in the Q&A Section*
NM. I uninstalled/reinstalled the update and the YouTube option returned.

I am getting the same problem now too. I used to play videos from fb with the youtube app as well. Could be a facebook v1.6.1/1.6.2 problem
seems to be fixed in the fb update today, 1.6.4
OK so my question is why only sometimes when i click a YouTube link via Chrome browser or tapatalk it will pull the browser up(YouTube .com and play it instead of the YouTube app. And no way to make it play in app besides having to add to fav and watch after i pull up the app.
On my phone (us GS2 att) it will pull the same link i touch in the app instead.

Sounds like your browser is acting as the default player, try going into settings -> applications -> browser then 'clear defaults'. Next time you click a youtube link it should ask you what app you want to play it with, select the youtube app and check the box labelled remember this selection.
Any solution to play Amazon Instant Video on android ICS (HTC ONE S)? There is no app in the market for some reason. The only app available is for kindle fire. The app was extracted from the kindle fire and is available on this website if you do some search.
It installs on HTC ONE S (not rooted, T-mobile). You can search and browse videos but when video is selected to play there is a message 'unfortunately, amazon video has stopped' 'ok'
Amazon video can't be played thru stock broweser as it says it need flash player, and flash player is installed! You can play it thru Dolphin browser with add-on dolphin toggle desktop/mobile. However, the quality is choppy and can't be used as this.
I have tried the above option over Wi-Fi and 4G. Same results.
Other threads suggest that we might never have such option since kindle fire is not working on ICS platform. I got this. However, is there any other option that could be used or third party made app not related to kindle fire. etc?
And, yes I know we can use netflix but I like amazon instant video selection more than my cancelled netflix. Also, amazon has free video for prime shipping members.
Thank you.
This works on the Galaxy Nexus, but I make no promise that it will work for you.
Install flash
Open the stock browser (Chrome Beta will not work)
Go to amazon.com
open the browser menu and select Request Desktop Site*
The page will reload
scroll to the bottom of the page and click "amazon full site"
The desktop version of amazon will now load.
Browse to the instant video section of amazon and select the video you want and watch it just like you would on a desk top browser.
Once the video loads, click the full screen button
Enjoy
*I do not know where this is listed in the HTC stock browser or how it is labled. If you can not find this option, you might try downloading a browser based on the stock browser from the Play store, like ICS Browser+ or Quick Browser. Both of them have options to set your user agent to desktop
Never fully figured this out in the last 4 years using android devices.
Whether its clicking a YouTube link in an email, on a twitter app, or on a random site... Every device and ROM seems to bring up different options for opening. (See screen shot).
You can see that the YouTube app isn't showing. I used to click either of the browser icons, and once the site would load, a new set of icons would pop up which had the YouTube icon.
Now, when clicking a link, I can only watch it through my browser. What gives?
How can I always view YouTube links with the YouTube app?
I tried clearing cache, and dalvik-cache. I for rid of all defaults, even though there were none for my browsers or YouTube apps. Any other options? I checked out all settings in these apps and nothing.

Update your youtube app to latest version the go into settings and manage application click all then scroll down to browser and click on it and click clear data . Then go to youtube app in the same settings and also clear data . Hopefully this will solve your problem
