HTC Watch app doesn't work What are the alternatives ? - HTC Amaze 4G

Hi new to this forum, I just recently got a HTC Amaze 4g,
Rooted it and installed a custom rom. I like to watch some videos
that I put on my phone to kill some time. I tried the HTC watch app
and it wants to update, when I hit update it forces closes all the time.
So my question is how do I fix this, or what app you guys use to watch
your personal video files that you put on your amaze phone. I have several
video format files, so what App is recommended. Thanks

[Q] Android market won't load images etc.

Hello, I have some data issues. I'm on Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC2 and it happened me before on some stock ROMs. Pictures on some apps won't load, market and youtube, and HD widget won't load weather. I'm trying everything on Wifi, have connection, can download from market, play yt clips, but can't this annoys me.
Can anyone help me?
I'm using Samsung Galaxy I900
Thanks
Here are the pictures:
I've found that doing force stop, clearing the cache and data, and possibly uninstall updates then restarting the Market app will fix stuff like this.
From time to time the Market app seems to get confused and with frequent, silent updates it isn't easy to know what the state of the app is. Doing these steps will put it back to stock before having it jump to the newest version. In just about every case I've seen this gets images back and things working again. There's no downside to doing this process that I've seen... all of your paid apps and backups remain once all is working again.
Thanks for the reply, but didn't help. I think that has something with my wireless network, not a big issue, but little annoying.
my both droid phone and PC can't load market's images, too >_<
Had this happen to LG Optimums Black and the only way i could fix the problem was to re-flash the stock ROM. Hope this can help.

[Q] Did the YouTube update break 3D playback?

I just updated the YouTube app to the 4.1.23 version, and I absolutely HATE the new UI. Granted, I figured I might as well live with it.... until I decided to try a 3D video and found that it won't play in 3D either.
Is this a setting you have to enable or did the update remove 3D playback as well as set the UI back several decades?
If so, how do I downgrade to the previous version? I am not entirely sure what version number the previous version even was. Is there any trustworthy place I can get the APK for that?
3D works just fine for me on the latest update.

if there was YouTube app in your Rom, you can go to manage apps and uninstall the YouTube update.
Strange, all 3D videos are only playing side-by-side for me, I don't see any options anywhere for 3D mode.

Will that uninstall the latest update, or all updates?
Try restarting your phone because its well known that when 3D doesnt work in Gallery or anywhere else a restart normally fixes that.
Just tried watching this clip on my Evo 3D and it works just fine.

I tried several restarts. All my 3D photos, videos, and games still run fine, but trying to play 3D video on the new youtube app just puts the videos side-by-side instead of in 3D mode.
What ROM are you running?
Stock Gingerbread
I've been meaning to upgrade to a rooted version of stock ICS but haven't gotten around to it, mainly figuring out what id have to do.
Does the same for me. Everything is side by side. Stock 3vo

[Q] troubleshooting in Evo3d unrooted - ICS

Good morning,
first of all i present myself. My name is Gianni and write from Italy, so excuse me for my bad english.
I've a HTC EVO3D unrooted, bought in may 2012 updated to Ics 4.0.3, HTC SENSE 3.6, software number 3.28.401.1, kernel version 3.0.16-ge733189, browser version WebKit/534.30.
Sometimes i have some troubles:
1 - sometimes touch doesn't work, i can't touch any app on the screen, or any button (home, menu, find or backbottom), it's like freezed
2 - sometimes when i scroll screen to find gadgets it freezes and the display is uncontrollable
3 - sometimes during a calling i can't close, i must remove the battery
4 - sometimes using qwerty keyboard it doesn't work good (with and without swiftkey3).
I thought that, installing a lot of third part apps, i use something uncompatible:
- es file manager
- office suite pro
- photo resizer
- tomtom
- sygic
- realcalculator plus
- skype
- aptoide
- app backup and restore
- sms backup and restore
- swiftkey 3
- something else.
So, i resetted to farm settings 5/6 times.
Now i'm testing it installing 1 app a time, anyway i don't install Es file manager (maybe it causes problems).
It freezes again, but not like before.
I write to ask you if there are any troubleshooting known, and if there are solutions, or apps uncompatible.
I hope to receive an answer ASAP,
all the best
Gianni

Uhhhh. Your digitizer might be going bad, Go to developer options and check "show touches" you'll be able to see what's going on.
And all of those apps are fine and are not causing your problem.

Ok, i'll try. About touch is ok, but about freeze?

Yours is still Locked and unrooted, so maybe running a RUU specific to your device might solve the problem. But before that try using your phone for few hours with the simcard removed and see if it still freezes. I cant say if thats what is causing it but one of the carriers tower near my house had some issues and it made all the phones using there service freeze and unresponsive to touch every now and then. When they use other sim card the phones were working fine.
R: [Q] troubleshooting in Evo3d unrooted - ICS
I don't think that is caused by simcard. I try. Anyway it freeze Aldo during a calling so i can't close.
The apps i've now:
App backup and restore, colornote, convertpad, Skype, file manager, dea developer.
This morning it freezed two times during two calls.
Any advice?

It freezing is just your screen being unresponsive No app out there (for the most part) are gonna break your phone, At the worst they'll drain battery. So listing your apps isn't helping, Though it is nice to be thurough.
I also suggest find a RUU for you specific phone and hboot and resetting all of your software, if that doesn't help you'll have to buy a new screen or take it into a repair store;

I didn't find any ruu file in htcdev for my device website. What can i do?

[Q] Are you able to watch youtube videos via WiFi? What apk version are you using?

Oh my, I wonder if we still have any photon 4G users around here... I'll try with some wishful luck :laugh:
Stock ROM, 2.3.5, Sprint, Root Only.
Youtube Version : 5.0.21 = videos play fine directly via the app when connected on 3G/4G but never on WiFi, error : There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry. - this error just started last month. Cache/Data clears did nothing. I have a Nexus 7 Stock Android 4.4.X tablet that also connects & plays youtube videos to the same Wifi network without a problem. Other data-related apps (e.g. gmail, browser) work fine.
Interestingly, I can still view youtube videos on other apps like Reddit News, PVStar+ Pro (both on Wifi + 3g/4g). It's just when directly loading the youtube app, this error appears. I can search and see content but all I get is that Touch to Retry" I tried uninstalling back to the original stock version of youtube that originally came with the photon and it was able to play via WiFi, but I lose my option to view embedded videos on Reddit News app (needed v5.0.21 to do that).
So I'm rooted + have my MSL if needed to edit anything. Has anyone experienced this or found a better apk version that works?
Yep!
Getting the same issue on my end.
Honestly stopped using my phone to do anything like game or watch videos since I got it.
Much rather buy a new phone than bother with all the problems I've gotten using this one.
I know this is offtopic but I just found this post on the atrix forum about a photon user flashing the atrix's 4.4.4 kitkat rom on his phone. The thread is titled "MB855need some help". He states that everything seem to work fine but, the camera, light and distance sensor, and button's light don't work. He was trying to get attention from devs to make it work on this phone but it seems they are already too busy with other projects, so I was thinking if we could get some attention from a dev for this phone we could get an almost-working kitkat rom. You can find the 4.4.4 kitkat rom in the atrix's development forum.

I am temporarily back on my Photon. My use of videos on WiFi has never been an issue. I am using GSM on a formerly Sprint CDMA model. I had the update that prevented full unlock, but I was able to modify everything necessary regardless. So, I don't know if my configuration is standard, but I have my old files on the SD card. I'd be glad to help if I can. I can look at this more tomorrow sometime. I was just wandering by as I was working on my new phone... it's late.
I used the one out of mof 2.3.5 ish rom and it works perf3ct. If I update I get the error again

Bringing this topic again for 2015 as it seems like it's still never been resolved for the photon 4g to install the latest youtube update on google play (it's been like this for such a long time, and the only version that still seems to work with some functionality at least if playing videos via the in-app embedded view feature on the reddit news app, this is youtube v5.0.21) - That same version won't play anything if you launch the youtube app on its own - would love to hear if any Photon 4G CMDA survivors have found any workarounds in getting this to work or if you have another higher/newer youtube apk build version, please let us know what that is - thanks
Everything else on the Moto P4G is still working great... for regular voice/data-mms-text/gmail/.web browsing on firefox app, it's still doing fine.
Also, looks like PVStar+ Pro/Regular have been taken off the Google Play Store... which was really the only viable alternative to youtube + the photon 4g. If you know of any other apps that still work for gingerbread like this, it would be good to just know too.
p.s. emailing youtube developers has yet to ever get a response (e.g. been trying around 1x a month).

[Q] Apps Not Working After Root-Sprint G3

So I rooted my LG G3 today so I could do some screen recording. Everything seemed fine, I was able to use Titanium Backup, even do some recording. But then I tried to watch a video in the native YouTube app. I was able to do everything in the app except watch videos. I would tap on a video, it would try to load an ad, the play/pause button would flicker, then it says that there was a problem playing. It does this with and without ads trying to load first.
I also tried to use the Netflix app. It wouldn't even load all the way, it just sat there with the spinning red circle.
Any ideas why this is happening?
I've got my g3 rooted and have no issues similar to yours. Maybe something you did with titanium backup?

Odd occurrence, I've had root since it was released, never had any video issues like yours

That's really odd. It's working now, might have been my internet, or it just needed another couple reboots.
