[Q] YouTube won't allow me to view "over 18" videos - HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, first off, new to Android, just recently figured out how to root and reflash, currently using Liberated FR007.
On the YouTube app, I am signed in with my YouTube account, which has my correct age when I view my profile on my desktop. However, whenever I want to watch certain videos, it says "Sorry, you must be 18 or over to view this video." How do I get around this? I can clearly watch the same video on my desktop, but not on my phone, albeit I am logged on the same account.

first of all(eww..., im a minor) go and look around a bit on your account and see if you have checked 18 plus. if you have, then go on your phone's youtube and play around in settings. I cant tell you if it is there because im a minor...

[Q] TV Shows Stream app suddenly not working?

Anybody else notice this? The past 2 days I can't get TV Shows Stream to play any videos. App loads, can search for shows and see the lists, but nothing will play. Looked around, googled, couldn't find any recent chatter about it. I've been using it a LOT on my TB.
I know it's no longer available in the market, but I was under the assumption that if you had it it would still work.

i know i've had bad luck with some of the source links for it, but megavideo usually plays.
chances are you're seeing the same message everyone else is (androidcentral forum members) about "this video has been taken down" or "video removed"--have you tried all of the source links (karambavidz/megavideo/etc) for the videos?
i love the app and will hate when it's no longer working. i already hate that it's removed from the marketplace. they removed it THE DAY i rooted and had to work my magic to get the .apk back

Mine is still working. I had an issue with sound playing and emailed them. They told me to:
1- Uninstall "Adobe Flash Player"
2- Uninstall "TV Shows Stream" (Note that you will lose your saved bookmarks)
3- Reboot your device
4- Install "Adobe Flash Player" from Android Market
5- Install "TV Shows Stream" from Android Market

[Q] Galaxy i9100 Problem Browser Issue

My wife gave me a White Galaxy S II international version from Amazon.com for Christmas.
I first noticed this with the stock internet browser.
I am having a little problem with the podcasts section on Engadget.com. As soon as the page is near or finishes loading, the browser crashes and I'm returned to the launcher.
If I am quick enough to long press on the .MP3 link to download the podcast it crashes without the save prompt showing up and the download isn't started.
I downloaded Dolphin Browser HD and I get the same results. This is the browser I used on my Inspire 4G with no problems.
This is viewing the desktop version of Engadget.com, also with either Android or Desktop as the user agent.
I don't have trouble loading pages on other sites.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Just tried it myself and it worked fine. Are you trying the "save link" option? You could try "download all files" application from market. I've got it installed because I've had a problem in the past.
DoubleTwist
Try downloading the app doubletwist you don't need to sync it to your computer or use air sync all you need to do them is download the item again
Hope this helps
Not to be rude but I'm looking for a solution, not a workaround.
I could just stream it from the website or the Engadget app, but I want to download the podcast from the page as I'm reading Engadget posts without starting up another app to do something I could do easily on a much simpler and lower quality phone. The building at my work tends to kill wifi and cell signals so I need to download the podcasts to listen to them.
I did have cyanogen installed on my Inspire. I wanted to see if I could use this phone without ROMs.
Thanks anyway.
download all files from market , the stock browser doesnt download all file extensions mate , that could be the reason
dolphin browser is quite useless to download files...the best one to download files are the opera mobile. i used that to download basically everything....try it...

Like I said "download all files"
Just install it then use the stock browser to download the pod cast
The stock browser and dolphin can download mp3s from other sites. My Inspire 4G running cyanogen could do it, too.
Apparently there is some code on the Engadget page that my phone doesn't like.
The browser crashes as soon as the page either finishes loading or right before it finishes. It had nothing to do with downloads.
Edit: I installed Opera Mobile as recommended above by kruznix and the page loads properly.
I'm still curious if anyone knows why this is happening.

YouTube app crash on video

I current have the latest YouTube app on my tablet and phone (Nexus 10 and 4) and for some strange reason, after the recent upgrade to 4.4.11 of the app, YouTube would crash everytime I try to watch any video. Attempts to clean cache/data and revert to older version of the app were unsuccessful too although it would not crash. I tried searching the forum but didn't find any reports of people having problems lately. I must also mention that my YouTube account was banned some time ago due to some lame reason with a few foreign variety show video clips I posted being reported. Long story short, I was able to still watch YouTube clips previously with the app, without being successfully signed in. Both of my devices are on stock 4.2.2 with custom kernel and rooted of course.
Anyone got an idea?

Have the same problem on my Xperia S, also every time it's crash I need to On/Off my WiFi connection, comments in Google Market shows, that, at least, some people faced this problem too, so waiting for fix. For me the youtube app was perfect and completely bugless until last update.

How to Downgrade Facebook app?

Hi everyone,
A few days ago I got the new Facebook UI with the built-in video player+auto-play, It's very laggy (every time it auto-plays videos) and it's impossible to download the videos. I really don't know what facebook developers thought when they decided to make such a terrible update. I want to downgrade to an earlier version that still have the option to choose a video player (and download the video) and more important without the auto-play function.
How can I do it? Which version to look for?
Thanks

Depends on whether or not your phone came preloaded with Facebook. If it did, you would uninstall the update in your Settings / Applications (or Application Manager, depending on the phone) and then make sure it's not enabled to Auto Update it in the Play Store.. If it didn't come preloaded with the phone and you initially installed it from the Play Store, then go to the Settings / App section again and find out what update that is, and Google for the Facebook apk and find the newest one that isn't that one that is giving you issues.
I successfully installed older version with the old UI, but I still can't get it to pop up the video player selection :/
I dunno, I don't do Facebook really, and I have no clue which version you installed, so yea...
Have you seen this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102232
This is so annoying, I successfully got the video player to pop up, but after a day it stopped working. The Facebook didn't update, it's like in-app update that can't be blocked.
Use this then download messenger and freeze the messenger app using your favorite program to freeze apps like lucky patcher or android tuner. Now you can download videos and use your inbox without using that stupid messenger app. Press thanks I'd I helped you out

Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly

I just got a new S9+ and when using the Facebook mobile site there is no photo button next to comments and if I try and upload a photo it says "Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly".
This issue goes away when I force desktop site (I use brave browser but it's the same in chrome) but that's kind of annoying, I gather it has something to do with android switching from webview to using chrome instead but I can't figure it out. Any ideas? And no I refuse to use the faceberg app.
Same.. Just upgrade my phone fromm Nought to oreo.
And got this problem
Your browser doesn't support posting photos directly
Note 8.
I tried disabling chrome and changing back to android web viewer but still no dice, surely someone knows how to fix this?
Bump
Why don't you try Firefox or another browser?
Also, it might be because of the phone screen. Next time you log in, try to select "Use desktop version" for the Facebook website and see if the problem persists.
I already stated in the OP it works when I force desktop website, I dont want to have to constantly switch between the mobile and desktop sites in order to post a photo considering I didnt have to on a version of Android that's 3 generations older than the one I'm currently using.
