you tube and 4g

[andeejo]

I'm not a big you tube user, but I just tried to watch a video and it wouldn't load. I remember reading a thread where for some people could only watch it in 3g. Sure enough I can watch it in 3g. I'm curious if anyone knows why this is? I just always stay on 4g. Kind of a pain to switch. I just updated my adobe flash player, could this be the cause? Also, could someone recommend a good 3g to 4g shortcut? Always appreciate your help! Running stock here.

I was having streaming video issues too. I did a restart and like magic, problem fixed.

Your best bet is an app like LTE switch. I watch youtube vids on LTE all the time with no issue(Philadelphia area, almost fully saturated with LTE). Maybe LTE isn't fully available where you were at the time...??

I know this is off topic but Seeing it in the signature reminded me of the ICS without rooting. Does doing that wipe your phoe or does it leave everything on there that you previously had like pics and so forth?

Running an RUU wipes everything except your internal/external SD cards.

I also live in a big LTE area. Never have problems with 4g. Until now haha. Tried batt pull and the usual. It's not that big of a deal, I just get curious when things work and then all of a sudden don't. I have learned a lot on this forum so I thought there could be some answers out there. I mentioned the Adobe player update cause in the market people were saying they lost video play after update, but I did try uninstalling it and that didn't work.

I am clueless on why YouTube stopped working on 4g

[MrSmith317]

Are you guys having a problem with youtube via the app or the browser? I just tried both sitting on 4G and had no problems. I'm running the 605.22 ICS leak.

For me it is the app and the browser. Also, it does not work on Wifi. Cmon Mr smith, you know everything! Lol. I'm trying to remember if there was a recent you tube update.
