I just got my EVO LTE a few days ago, so I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet.
On my original EVO 4G, when I click on a video in the Google+ app, the video plays IN THE APP!
On this phone, it opens a web browser and takes me to the Google+ site where the video is located. And once I'm there, the video's wont play!!! Flash is installed and up to date.
I thought a file association dialogue was supposed to open and ask me which app I wanted to play the video? Is there any way short of rooting (which I don't want to do for at least several more days)??? I changed the association from the default browser to Chrome beta, but Chrome can't play the video's either.
In app associations, there is something called, "streaming link", but the only option to choose is "Streaming Media Player". That's apparently not playing them either.
Thanks.
The same thing happens to me when I click to play a youtube video.

Its because of the Apple patent. There is a mod to fix that in the development section.

Are you talking about the mod that requires root? Because I specifically asked for a way to get the app to do this without root.
I will search the dev section in the hopes you understood that.
The only thing I found there was this (requires root): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27035550&postcount=21

I might be, not sure if it requires root but it probably does. Sorry, I never look for root requirements because I am always rooted.

So why then do these videos not even play in a browser? It's bad enough they don't play directly in google+, but they don't even play in the browser that opens when you click on the video!
I don't think that is because of the Apple thing.
same thing happened to me. I downloaeded MX player from the market and instaaled it. Somehow the problem is gone. I restored back the Google Video play and ask me wich player I want to chose from. Both work perfect now.
Well, I broke down and rooted today. Couldn't take it anymore.
In other news, I see Apple decided to finally update their stuff to state of the art 2010. You go, Apple!
Oh, and don't forget to file a lawsuit against Google for stealing your map idea.

These are two things I could never do on my vibrant, so I'm always taking my wifes iphone to do to do them. Will the s2 be capable of this. Dont want an iphone but these are pretty big for me.
My galaxy s could open pdf just fine using think free office, (which came pre installed from samsung) but was also freely available in the market.
The sgs2 comes with polaris office, which works just as well.
Hmmm my problem was emails mostly, I could never open the attachments, does it work for that
Automatically, I click on preview attachment button, it downloads it and then up pops think free to view the attachment.

No Netflix I'm afraid and I doubt it'll be coming any time soon as Qualcomm have it as an exclusive for their snapdragon handsets which is allegedly because of DRM.

why would netflix do that.. right now the only thing stopping me from getting a netflix account is that i cant use it on my phone..isnt there some sort of port for it to work on regular phones?

So I don't have any intention of Rooting my phone and I took the OTA update today that gave me Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1.
I can't remember if on Sense 4.0 in the App Association menu if YouTube was in there. It is in Sense 4.1 and gives 2 options for YouTube Links. Use the Browser or use the YouTube App.
The Problem I'm having is I have it set to use the YouTube App however it will only use the browser. I have sent a YouTube link to my phone via Text and Gmail and both times I click on it, it will open the browser. Also in the Facebook App YouTube links will open the browser and not the app. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
I just checked and mine is set to you tube and videos open directly in you tube. I haven't been able to verify Facebook yet. Sorry, I'm not much of a help and I hope you can figure it out. Maybe try rebooting by holding the power button down for 10 sec. since the phone has gone through a lot of changes.

I sent myself a link to my Gmail and it opened the app as normal. Facebook opens the browser. And while in the browser clicking on links still uses the browser. I had to install chrome and make it the default so this would be resolved.

Facebook opens in the browser for me too, but this doesn't bother me enough to switch to chrome. But thank you for the info.

I know what you mean. I can't believe HTC wouldnt make an app association work with its own browser.

The map association seems to have the same issue. I have the map association set to open maps, but when I click on directions from the browser it opens up the website and not the app.
This is more of a headache than the YouTube association. Anyone else having the same issue, or have a solution I can try?

I can confirm that this an issue with the stock browser and map links. Seems that the stock browser overrides the app associations. I have installed Chrome and everything now opens in the appropriate app. If you install chrome you must make it the default browser

I was messing around with my buddy galaxy s3 and I noticed they can do this picture in picture kind of thing where they can minimize the video and still use other functions on their phone. I was wondering if anyone can implement this mod in their room or even make it available for the EVO.

No I believe he is talking about the "Pop-up Play" feature that the GS III introduced that lets you play a video, minimize it to do other stuff like text and browse while the video is still playing in a smaller "picture-in-picture" window like seen here. luisrod03 was also correct. Here is another app that let's you do the same thing but it isn't free like luisrod03's link.
Yes the app let me do what I was trying to do... I wanted to view a video while texting and doing things on the phone... Also when u tap on it it will go back to full screen but I do like that super app though

Ok I am sure all netflix users have found out that we have been had. There app will automatically update and no matter what I do I can't stop it. The new app is not very responsive and fails to load all the thumbnails. It's not as bad on the 3vo as it is on the og but still sucks. Plus I liked the old look better. So what I am wondering is if anyone knows how to stop it from upgrading?

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the update. I have a backup of netflix in titanium backup from about 4 months ago and as soon as I restore the app and data it loads the new interface. I thought netflix was slow before, I didnt think they could make it any worse. They might be trying to push people to upgrade their devices. The app works on the 3vo, but my wife has an evo 4g and it barely works now.
yeah i am in the same boat. i have the og and my ole lady has the 3vo. damn you netflix!!!!!!
The Netflix app's user interface is really just a web page. There is NO way whatsoever to get the old user interface back, because it is served directly from Netflix, as opposed to being a native Android user interface.
I agree that it blows. Why can't Netflix make a UI that lets us actually be able to browse ALL of the available titles? For instance, if I check the science fiction movies on the app, I apparently have a choice of about 20 movies or so to watch. Yet, you can search and find all kinds of additional titles. Why can't I just browse the damn library of titles?!?!
After a little bit digging.. Seems to be a server side updated rather than a full app update...

I very much agree. Netflix is quite un-user friendly. Half the time you have to know what you want to watch and search for it, and even then it's very hit and miss. I especially don't follow why Netflix has say... movies 2 and 3 in a series, but not the first one. DEFINITELY needs a massive UI update to allow entirely library browsing. not just whatever 75 titles they feel like showing at the current time.
I got fed up with Netflix, left August 1st.
Once Amazon gets a little better selection I'll head over there.

Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...
