I tried out my SGS2 today with youtube and I always had an iphone and I was able to stop my youtube video's pause and answer calls look at emails and go back to where I left off, But I couldn't do that with this SGS2 What's up with that !
I'm not rooted if that matters
I also found another problem that I'm not sure if the iphone did this or not also and that was while listening to pandora I wanted to take some pictures and when I started up the camera pandora was cutoff, what's up with that ! I thought maybe because I had the GPS active on the camera but that wasn't it
hope some could shed some light on these two problems I have found so far and I'm sure by the weekend I might have more to add to my list -Hope Not Thought
I tried putting a mobile version on the home screen and still youtube won't pause my video , I have a feeling Google dropped the ball here ! Not sure but if no one answers this means Google + Android + Youtube dropped the ball and apple somehow gets this working, How could that be Am I right LOL No tell me no ! can't be.

I am currently listening to Pandora and decided to see if I have the same issue. I am able to click pictures while the pandora is still streaming songs. I could change camera, take pics etc. I am currently in CM7 instead of the stock OS and I don't know if that is a reason! But I am guessing it is not.
Update:
You are right about Youtube. I paused it, clicked home button and came back to Youtube app to find the video I paused starts playing from first instead of where I left it.
Well I tried it again with the camera and Pandora and it still cuts off
I did find that the volume rocker Zooms the camera
Maybe someone else can try and report back

Is this youtube like this on all android devices or is it just this SGS2 ?
This only seems to happen when you load the mobile site of you tube. If I set your useragent to desktop then you can switch back and forth to your hearts content and start where you left off.

I just went into setting on my mobile youtube and set to desktop - didn't work
I went to the app of youtube and found no settings for this.
I went my home computer and can't find anything in setting to make this work.
please post how to do and i'll give it another try APPRECIATE IT
You can pause youtube. Tap the screen and press the Home button not the back button , the back button exits the app or any app. When you ready to go back. Press the YouTube icon not the widget, the widget opens to the main screen.

Might be some sort of restriction that the camera app imposes. Clicking on phone and any voice search also turns off pandora. I don't have any problem with youtube.

Open stock web browser and type in about:useragent and switch to desktop. Then load your YouTube video. When the phone prompts you to use youtube app select web browser (I also click default because I don't like the YouTube app) now watch your video as you would on a desktop machine. You can zoom or pause or switch to full screen or go check a email. The video will be waiting where you left off.

I tried updating and I am unable to do video chat. I then did a reinstall and tried both 3g and wifi and I don't see the video chat option on the settings menu as mentioned by the app. I have an eve 3d with synergy evo 3d mod. Anyone also experiencing any problems?
I tried before I posted, everything worked fine for me. Rooted stock ROM, RCMIX kernel
Not Working for me either.
Did you find a fix for your evo3d? I don't have the option either in Skype even after uninstall and update. Same problem on gf's evo.
I get no video and the person I'm chatting cant see anything.
I was just chatting with my girl friend on skype with the new update. I'm running Vipers 1.2 ROM with TWRP
If your having trouble try uninstalling rebooting and dowmloading skype again.
I'm on the stock ROM, no fix is needed. This works fine for everyone I know. Probably whatever ROM you guys are using.

The video setting doesn't show up in synergy because the base is so modified that the app doesn't recognize it as an EVO 3D. A different ROM will work. I had the same issue.

Yeah I dont know whats up with that but I just hold the phone horizontal to ignore the upside down video chats.
It's definitely irritating that for a company as large as Skype seems to perform no quality control on their software. I mean its not an obscure bug. Immediately upon starting a video call you see the person your talking to standing on their head. One of the main reasons we bought the phone was the convenience for video calls since my wifes family live in Colombia and we are in the states. Also being military ill end up traveling and having a method to see ny family would he nice. Oh well. I'll just hold it upsidedown till they fix it. I thoguht if i bought an android phone I wouldn't suffer from errors caused by holding my phone the wrong way.

How do I stop skype from running?
I did the menu, settings, apps and stop it that way. It then came back the next day with no option to stop it from running. Is it eating battery when it's running in the background? Meaning I can see the skype symbol at the top of the screen.
TIA!

Task manager to kill process. Or set offline immediately and auto login in Skype prefs then you won't have to re-enter password each time you launch or switch to it.

Right quick question, I received an image via text on the stock messaging app.
It shows a play sign like you'd get on a video, so when I click the image it shows as if it's playing a file for 20 seconds.
I can then save the image into the gallery so that's fine.
But is it normal for it to show a "play" sign on an image?
Can't I have it so it just shows an image that you simply press, and a play sign if it was an actual video file.
It's not a major issue, but just bugs me slightly.
I hope you guys understand what I mean, as I'm not great at explaining things.
edit: Looks like I'm not alone

i should have clarified myself, i have the subscription and game center live does not work on:
stock browser
dolphin (beta pad version and stable)
firefox (beta and stable)
on Galaxy Tab 10.1 running In Paris Rom...
it just displays a black box where the video should be and no date text in the top date selector.
the app's live video doesn't work either, i signed in with the settings menu. i click live video, the screen rotates and goes black for a second, then bounces right back to the game info.. in the device type section in settings, it says "null". not sure if that's good or bad?

Yes they do, there own ads for game center live. I get annoyed by them popping up almost after every video whereas on the team web site it comes up every 5 or so videos. I don't have premium so i dont known if they go away with subscription. Try removing the ad block to see if it changes.

You are correct. I flashed back to stock and the web version now WORKS on stock browser. I haven't tried others but I am sure they would work. So with that, is the best way to get nhl live working on ad fixed versions to track the ip packets to see which ad services it is using and then let those through the tablet by changing the hosts file? or is there a better way?

The app definitely does not work on the tablet for me, it does on the phone. Not exactly sure why but maybe it has to do with the video player on the tablet (issue Plex had with streaming awhile back ago).
As for your other post, not exactly sure of an easier way. I just removed ad fix altogether since it has been an issue for others sites like Fox and CBS.
Yeah, the app isn't working for me either. I have a Gamecenter live account already and it allows me to sign in, but every time I try to watch a live game I get a loading sign and then it goes back to the previous screen. I can listen to the audio for the games so obviously my account is fine (that and I can watch the live games from my PC).
However, I can access live games through the Gamecenter live website, so it's not too bad. The streaming quality is good, but I find the playback is choppy. I was hoping the app would be better for watching live games, but apparently not.
In all honesty I have the live video working on my other device and it really sucks. Even if they get it working its going to be low quality, and it will switch from video to audio only.
milanlucic17 is right, just watch it through the browser, if you clear the memory on the device and close everything but the browser about 5 minutes into the feed it usually gets pretty decent to watch. Also, I haven't tried but I heard hockeysteams has android support now.
I use Dolphin HD as my browser and am on stock. The video gets a bit choppy when you set the bandwidth to 1600 or higher, but it's not too bad. The quality suffers a bit at 800, but not terrible (better than myp2p.pe).
I'm hopeful that ICS helps with the choppiness, but that's a little way off.
From my understanding, the app only seems to work if you're a Verizon customer...it's hit or miss, otherwise.
For anyone with the ad-free roms:
I just downloaded AdFree from the market, click 'revert' when I want to watch, then you can click 'download hosts' again when you are done watching and it is back to ad free.. Just an fyi.
Been running opera mobile 11.5.3, but have had zero luck with embedded youtube videos. Any others noticing the same in opera? Tried all kinds of different settings, clearing data, reinstalls, etc. Interesting enough, i get audio, along with a black box as opposed to the video.
Opera mini opens the vids in youtube, so worst case i go to that. Worth noting, this link works in every other browser i have installed and plays the embedded vids. So pretty sure its just opera mobile unfortunately...
Test page:

I do too. Same black box. Too bad cuz I love the smoothness and speed of opera.

same here, haven't found a browser that renders as quickly as opera. rarely ever see any tiles when loading pages.
Just tested on my skyrocket... loads with no issues. So its something with the prime. hopefully fixed in a future release. guess i'll shoot an email to the dev.
this is because opera mobile needs to update it for optimal use with our device also. only sound plays out. maybe we need to leave some comments on marketplace or email the developer to address the issue.
edit: I left a comment on marketplace. seen another guy named Ryan, that owns a Prime, also left the same complaint.

as far as i can tell yeah, one other thing i wish they would fix is when you click a youtube mobile link instead of opening youtube it directs you to the youtube page, Opera needs to update so i can stop using two different browsers simultaneously
I put it in tablet mode and it didn't work for videos embedded in general section I was trying to look at. I press the big white play button n nothing shows up. I had flash on demand. So I tries again enabling itall the time and nothing shows up in that area period. SMH. Opera need to hurry up n update..lol

What I did is un/reinstall flash, set Opera to tablet mode and flash always on. Works for me. Only thing is that youtube mobile pops up. Not ideal, but doable till an update of Opera. Meanwhile I use boat browser.
I've looked and the answers I found for my previous sgs2 are gone?
wether I use the stock browser (about:useragent,, which resets every home button press), skyfire set to desktop( which doesn't work for YouTube), nothing works when I press a video from the Facebook app, the video I want to watch is not optimized blah blah.
How do I set the browser to DESKTOP every single time?
Again, sorry to start a thread but I have looked and can't find it
