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

When I click on video links on facebook, it shows me a list of browsers to choose app which will open video. there is no Youtube app in the list.
I tried clear defaults / delete data for both apps: Facebook and Youtube but without any results.
The problem is, that the link is redirected over Facebook. So the App does not recognize it as a YouTube-link.

I have the same problem, YouTube app was an option on my G2 and on my tablet when I clicked YouTube links

There should be some trick to resolve this idiotic problem.

I really wish facebook would give us an option to disable this crap. I don't need this. Really really annoying. That's what's going on. Android will open up youtube videos with the domain youtube.com but facebook makes it m.facebook.com/something or another and youtube doesn't know that domain.
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.

On the latest OTA is there a way to at least make YouTube play in the app instead of the Web browser?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I believe there's an option you can set in the build.prop that will let you choose. Unfortunately I can't remember what it is atm because I have been meaning to do the same thing.
I'm able to select it in 'app associations'

yeah,im on Stock with goodies 2.08 and any time i tap on a video for youtube in facebook it loads up in the browser.
Settings > App associations > YouTube link > YouTube
Even after the latest update with YouTube in the app associations the browser still overrides YouTube links in the browser and facebook. I have installed Chrome and made that the default browser in app associations and this has fixed the problem. No matter where the YouTube link is it always opens up in the app now

Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
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.

Someone please fix this. It is very annoying. Someone did the same for HTC navigation vs Google maps.

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...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".

Its not working. Link to youtube from facebook dont open in youtubeapp, only open in my two browser.
hi,
i just started using chrome few days ago. the main reason is that it can sync everything from my laptop to my tablet and phone. I can live with it although it is not the best browser.
anyway, there is a big problem that has been annoying me since i started using it. as it does not support flash, can i force youtube links to open with youtube app?
thanks
Good question. Thats a prob u get with other browser too. And same thing arrives when u view a twitter account. It opens on the web instead of the app whereas with stock browser it opens with the app.
