Unable to play videos on youtube after update!

Tue, 19 Jul 2011 16:48:24 GMT

Hello I have been looking for a few days now to try and find a solution but I have had no joy

When I got my phone 3 days ago I was amazed with how quickly I was connected to my WiFi network and able to surf

Happy as the proverbial pig listening to BB king on youtube with perfectly clear video and no stutter

When I plugged my phone into my PC it reccomended updates which I did.

Now I cant view any video at all on my phone.

The screen is blank but the sound is ok. After trying it a moment ago on the very same BB king video it showed a still frame, and the sound was just stuttering non stop.

I would be gratefull if someone could help me out because I am not tech talented.

Thanks

Rob

backup everything with the backup & restore app and then repeat the same process as you did to update your phone and reinstall/repair the software/phone

settings -> applications -> manage applications -> youtube -> uninstall updates -> clear data, clear cache, claear defaults

A website www.gadgeteasy.com says flash is available for this phone - Is this true?

It mentions andriod 2.1 eclair user?

There seems to be privacy concerns reading some comments about the Skyfire web browser

Also this seems heavily geared toward Facebook which I do not use

I just want to watch the odd documentary

Thanks for the help anyway

You been great
