Hey guys, I've had my youtube broken when on 3g for the past few weeks. I did the hacks to increase 4g speeds, 3g speeds, and volume + other similar tweaks I found here. Now, I reverted to the traditional 3g settings, but other than a reset, does anyone who may have had this happen to them know how to fix it? Thanks.
First....You should ask a mod to move this thread to General or Q&A. Then you could try clearing data & cache for youtube under /settings/manage applications. Then re-sign in.
flameon! anyone?
cleared cache and data, nogo
I'm going to exchange my evo anyways, so I might as well do a backup and start fresh
Thanks anyway
1) Dial ##3282#
2) press edit
3) enter msl where it asks for password
4) choose advanced
5) press RTSP/HTTP Setting
6) set HTTP proxy port to 0

I think Sprints 3g is just terrible and that's the problem.
It happens to me all the time as well.
I've learned to just always leave 4g on if I want consistent data.
Hopefully sprint can work on their 3g speeds.
The 4g is amazing though, usually faster than my wifi.
It is using the clear network though for wimax so it isn't really sprint.
I can only play videos over wifi. 3G tells me that connection to server is lost. Anyone getting that error. I unistalled youtube and reinstalled. WTH is going on here?

I leave data conenction off, but somehow I'm still using data from time to time. I don't have an unlimted data plan and so any usage is to much. I'm running dcd 2.3.2 vzw. I'd rather not disable data via VZW network in case I need data but normally would never use it.
Anything I can do to disable data connection on phone to stop completely any data being pulled OTA and be able to enable when/if I need it?
I use my wifi so I'd still want that to work, but this shouldn't be affecting my data connection, right?
Thanks everyone in advance?

What I did was go to settings, connections, connections, manage existing connections, data network, select data network, then edit, Next, delete #777 and then enter 1 then hit next, and finish.
From then on it will show you the login screen but cannot connect.
Hey man, I had this VERY issue with my xv6800.... You have 2 options.... You can call every month and ***** that the phone automatically connect and uses data by itself, which it does.... or you could delete your data connection setup but this will disable your MMS.... There is nothing on their end they can do.... I went thru this just like you are... SUCKS.... I ended up getting the unlimited data plan because: A) it allows me to game at work, Corp network is firewalled for the ports I need... B) FTP ports are also firewalled so I use the phones data.... works excellent.... I had to have them take 111 bucks off my bill the 1st month because the phone used 6.7 megs in 2 weeks by itself, then I got the 24 dollar 10 meg data plan, but when it went to 10 megs and I still had 2 weeks left to go, I called and had them add the unlimited plan..... My bill would have been 1400 bucks without the unlimited plan..... So now I USE THE CRAP out of the data side..... screw em......
You could also call VZW and ask them to put a DATA BLOCK on your account so that no matter what your phone will not be able to use data.
I deleted the data password (vzw) on my phone so whenever it tries to connect it asks for the password. I also changed the default "for programs that connect to the internet" to use work network instead of the data connection and then setup my mms to use the data connection to pull pictures from. I only use the data side for mms and wifi for everything else.
Cool - knew I wasn't the only one with this issue.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll see about getting vzw to credit me and I'll turn off the connection by changing the #777 or password.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
You can disable your connection in the registry. On the flip side I set mine to "Always on" in the registry.
Try this

I use an app called "NODATA" you open the app, select your "CDMA1X" or what ever and toggle it off. you can toggle it on when you need it by opening the app and selecting it. I don't have the link but I found it here. So you shouldn't have any trouble.

I've been using that program for a year now it's easy to use no need to keep entering ur password with the #777 method or having to edit ur registry everytime u want to go online... I live on US canada border and roaming charges were killing me first 2 months I had this phbone because it would bounce back and forth between verizon and telus... this proggie saved me tons of cash and hassles with telus... well worth the download
Completely disable 3g data connections forever, save wifi
This is my first contribution to xda-forums! I'm glad I can help at all when I've benefitted so much... Thanks to all!
NOTE: After the following steps, Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably will want to use Nodata, and NOT the following solution. You just might have to open Nodata and disable the data connection every time you soft-reset.
I was finally able to completely 100% block the 3g data connection on my Verizon XV6800 (aka Mogul aka Titan) was the following three steps:
1. The key culprit is HTC_CM_Guardian.exe in the windows directory. I couldn't edit it or delete it via Total Commander file explorer, but I was able to rename it! This makes the OS unable to find the program when it tries to re-set the Data connection settings.
2. Under Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > "Select which networks are automatically used," hit "Select Networks."
3. Under "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" hit "New...".
4. Enter any name you want (mine's "nodata!") and leave all the other settings blank.
5. To be safe, you may have to delete the Verizon Or "Internet" Connection on the Tasks Tab of Settings > Connections > Connections. Save and exit.
Voila! Wifi, yes; 3g, no! No more nasty billing surprises.
Modaco's Nodata program is awesome, but the problem was that HTC_CM_Guardian.exe re-enabled the data connection every time I reset the phone. Plus, HTC_CM_Guardian.exe would also thwart any effort to block data via the "Connection Settings." By renaming HTC_CM_Guardian.exe and creating a "nodata!" connection that programs auto-connecting to the internet would try to use (and fail), we get three results:
1. Modaco's Nodata doesn't even register that a data connection exists! For this reason, if you occasionally use 3g, you probably won't to use this solution.
2. When you reboot, the OS is unable to mess-up your "Connection Settings", so
3. Unless you have an active wifi connection, programs will try to connect to the Internet using the "nodata!" settings, which, being empty, will fail, exactly as planned.
Hope it helps.
So I've had this S743 for 3 days now and I thought I had it setup correctly to use wifi for data comm.
wifi enabled and selected to use my home network. I can see the radio tower status icon.
Under the comm manager data connection is off.
I have a very simple $45/mo plan with no data plan.
Over the last 2 days I have been surfing the web a bit did some email tests with my ISP and used the on board GPS app which is horrible. Not heavy usage but experimentation to see if I like how the phone works.
Then after 2 days I get an email from AT&T that I have extremely high data usage exceeding my account limit and that I should sign up for a data plan at once.
$29 over 2 days for this little bit of fluff? A total of 2,900kb in data.
So I call up AT&T and they tell me this and that and want me to sign up for a plan which I may do.
But I want to be able to know that the datacomm is happening via WIFI when I can see it's in service.
They also told me that all GPS data is forced through 3G and bypasses WIFI???
Can anyone here give me an idea about what I may be doing wrong and whether AT&T is correct about the GPS service?
Is there a better GPS app that doesn't do this? This one pretty much stinks anyway. A resolution of 1000 meters doesn't cut it.
AT&T also informed me that I can't have a smart phone without a data contract. Really? I've had one for 6 years.
Thanks for any light you shed on the subject.
One th I have subsequently found out is that if data connection is off and wifi is off then when I go into IE and start surfing it does bring up pages. Then when I go back to the Comm Manager the Data Connection is still off for an instant and then it automatically turns itself on as though it had been turned on by use of IE and the status was just being updated.
Is there any way to stop this?
The only way to completely stop data usage is to delete the APNs from within the Settings->Connections dialog.

What exactly are APNs? I don't see anything labeled that way in that section on my phone.
Thanks for the reply.
Try to download the NoData app; google it. I believe it's freeware. Toggle all connections to "Disabled" and that should do the trick..
About the GPS; all I can think of is that the QuickGPS app (under desktop accessoires or whatever it's called in english) automatically downloads new info about the GPS locations.

Thank you.
I did manage to delete the APN and that did work but now I've decided to keep this phone, put it on an AT&T GO-Phone plan and add a very limited data plan. So I will be trying to find a better way to make certain it doesn't always automatically go for the GSM even when you have it turned off.
I looked at your suggestion but it sounds like it conflicts with netframe 3.5 which I have installed.
I've spend over a month trying to battle the issues with not able to use Live services and Marketplace over the 3G connection.
I've been back and forth with plenty of hard resets adviced by Zune support - no change.
I've been back and forth with plenty of hard resets adviced by WinPhone support - no change.
I've even swapped SIM cards - no help.
Issue:
You can't download apps/music or stream music using 3G. On wifi it works fine.
Reason:
HTC WiFi bug goes deeper than we think. It's not just being or not being able to run 3G and WiFi together or low WiFi signal. But if you at times try and download or ugrade using WiFi and use 2G mode at the same time - you will get this. As soon as you switch from 2g to 3g and switch off wifi - nothing will download off your marketplace.
Solution:
I've reproduced it many many times. However, it will only happen if your SIM doesn't have APN settings on it i.e. non-contract phones using certain pay as you go networks i.e. Tesco, Lyca, Giffgaff, Talktalk
When you go 2g/3g swapping and use wifi - the phone forgets your APN settings. Once you switch to 3g, go to APN settings, edit your password by writing your password again and save it. Restart phone. Now your 3g will work again. You have to do this every time you use combo of wifi/2g or sometimes even when using wifi and then switching to 3g.
Moan:
I've contacted HTC, they don't care, they think it doesn't exist. They want my phone to be sent for repairs. I am not doing it as I have only one phone. I know HTC won't even acknowledge the earlier Wifi bug. But luckily we have workarouns.
Have you tried running the HTC connection setup to see if that resolves the situation in some way?

Yes I did that too. But HTC connection setup settings are forgotten as soon as you swap away from 3g. So everytime I come back to 3g, I have to re-fresh my APNs manually and restart! - such a pain.
thanks....
Hi,
I own a sgs2 running the latest CM10 rom by codeworks.
My phone all worked fine until 1 week ago, when out of the blue I lost 3G connection. I still run Edge just fine.
I run on the giffgaff network in the UK. I checked all my APN settings 5000 times, played around with them, resetted them, doesn't help.
There is no coverage issue in my area (I traveled around London anyway). I have the right plan.
I used someone else's SIM card with a data plan, it didn't help either.
I flashed a different modem (LPS), didn't help.
I google'd a bunch of stuff that didn't help at all basically.
I would understand if I didn't have any data connection at all, but I can get Edge just fine and browse the internet/download, it's just painfully slow.
Does anyone have an idea about how to fix my issue? I'll literarily take every piece of advice right now.
Thanks,
Gary

Woah amazing. I didn't think waiting 5 mins would change a thing, but it did. Works now, thanks so much.
anyone know what is causing this problem ?
youtube app or website youtube doesn't work on my evo 4g lte ( with mean / superlte / any rom it shows connection to server lost ).
but it works fine on cm10
wifi no problem, only 3g

I have the opposite problem won't work on wifi on any of my phones
It happens to me on occasion, I'm more willing to blame the app since it seemed to start happening, at least with me when they started overhauling the app
used to be fine before
it's driving me crazy
had to go cm10 only for everything to work
YouTube works just fine for me
3g and WiFi
I don't think it has anything to do with aosp or sense

It might be your network profile because I just ran Youtube off of WiFi, 3G, and 4G on both AOSP and Sense and it worked flawlessly. Go to Settings > System Updates > Update profile. If that doesn't fix it and you know your MSL code, you could also do ##3282#, Edit, type your MSL, go to Data Profile, hit menu, and hit reset (only resets activation, not the entire phone).
