YouTube connection problem on Vodafone UK - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Have the above problem and can't find the answer to it. I have tried loads of different roms and none of them allow me to access YouTube via the official app. I can view videos via the website and using rolles YouTube app but not the official app. I have just updated my mum's s3 to jellybean using the official update non rooted and YouTube works fine.
Is It something to do with being rooted, running a custom Rom or something completely different?
How can I solve this, any help would be great.
Cheers in advance,
Blinky

Forgot to add that my mum is also on Vodafone. Have also tried uninstalling and installing on both Sammy roms as well as aosp roms.

Looks that way, YouTube worked fine for me on stock and still does on miui. Can only really suggest using browser or 3rd party app such as tubemate (Google it)
Edit: re-read op, can see you're doing that already. What exactly happens when you try using the app? FC? Any errors messages?

Just states that the connection has been lost, press to they again.
Some of the adverts before the videos will play but not the chosen video.
Just can't understand why, haven't changed anything and even tried with fresh installs and nothing else installed.

You're not alone. I've been suffering with this for months now. I'm not on an S3 but on a Galaxy Nexus.
I'm currently running AOKP JellyBean M1 having the same issue. Can't remember if I had the problem on stock because that was back in January.
Google say they can't help and Vodafone say it must be the phone as there are no issues. I believe it has something to do with being a root user.
Very annoying as at work and home I get full HSDPA with unlimited data and I can't even make full use of it.
Over WiFi is fine, just on mobile internet I get the problem so clearly a conflict with Vodafone UK.

If anyone still having issues on this matter its because your fast dormancy rule is wrong when you are on custom roms.
edit the build.prop so that the value is =2 and reboot your phone.
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=2
=1 means enabled
=0 means disabled
=2 means vodafone setting

I'm also on Vodafone UK and rooted but works fine, have you tried comparing APN settings with your mum, or sounds silly but try switching SIM cards over.

What's the reason for that line to be in the build.prop anyway?

I had the same problem. Popped into a Vodafone store, got a new SIM (mine was getting a bit old), and now it works. Worth a shot.

Copilot won't start - anyone else?

Good morning all.
My Copilot (Live EU West version) freezes on the splashscreen for about 10 seconds, then just shuts down - no error messages. It doesn't seem to be running in Task Manager and Application Settings, but the icon persists in the notification bar until I clear it.
Tried with three ROMs - stock, Omega and Hypergalaxy. Have tried a fresh installation from Play and via a TB backup, same result each time. GPS is fine.
Anyone else and/or any advice? Awaiting reply from Copilot Support.
Many thanks.
CP Live premium runs for me on rooted stock .
Advice from CP is to delete all files and re download when changing roms .

Hi JJ. Tried that, still no go. Going to try a wipe>new stock ROM and see what haPPENS.
This same exact thing happens to me to on my Galaxy S2 and I have tried heaps of roms with no luck so I don't use CoPilot anymore but use Navigon Navigation which seems pretty good but still prefer CoPilot.
Update if anyone's interested - after a full wipe and factory reset, it now works on (a different) stock and Omega, but not HyperGalaxy or Zoom - these two are both very slim ROMs, ca. 200 MB.
HyperGalaxy's dev is investigating.
I think it's ics fault.
I had this issue with an old Copilot version. Use 9.1.0.269 or higher.

No probs here on stock XXALEF with Copilot Live 8 - I actually had a worse time getting it to run on my GS2, I only just got it working about a month ago on my GS2 (copilot support guys are numpties!).

Yeah it is. I never had this problem running on Gingerbread 2.3.3.
Co-pilot has the worse support ever! nevermind the support page on Copilot itself. it's confusing and frustrating.
This happened to my S2 as well but working fine on my S3. like someone mentioned after updated my S2 to ICS that's where the problems come in
Theres a fix for the issue that i got from their facebook page.

There were no tts packages in the "slim" ROMs mentioned, but I installed them myself. They worked, CoPilot still didn't.
No help at all from the devs unfortunately. One doesn't have a SGS3 and one uses Navigon, so I can't complain. Their work, their choices.

So you're flashed to Vodafone service? Try this:
1. ##3282#
2. Choose Edit.
3. Enter MSL
4. Choose "Others"
5. Choose "Multimedia"
6. Change both RTSP and HTTPPD proxies to "0.0.0.0"
7. Change both RTSP and HTTPPD ports to "0"
8. Back out to home screen and restart phone
9. Try it now
I'm not sure if this works on the GT-I9300 version. I am using Sprint's L710 version. I am flashed to a different carrier and this is how I got my streaming to work. I think it should be the same. If not, I'd look around to see how to access the DATA programmIng menu and start there.

So your device says Vodafone on it or is it flashed/unlocked for use on Vodafone's network? It's ##3282# not ##3382#. If that doesn't work then it's different on the i9300 variant.

The device was bought direct from Vodafone, but has no Vodafone branding on it at all.
A little bit more digging and it may be down to my Voadafone APN, but I can't edit it as its greyed out in the settings for some reason. Adding a new one with the same settings doesn't seem to work

I've been trying to do some research to help. Here are a few different things I have found out that you might want to try:
1. Are you able to access your APN settings? If you are able to access your APN settings, make sure you are using the one that says "live.vodafone.com" if it exists. Also, if it gives you an edit option, make sure the username and password are blank.
2. There might be a so-called "universal age restriction" on your account. If so, according to Vodafone, age restrictions are available as a setting that blocks any kind of streaming (probably for porn reasons lol) Maybe access your account online or give the company a call to see if you can remove this.
3. Also read somewhere that Vodafone has a service you have to pay for called "Vodafone Live!" so they are blocking regular streaming access to encourage users to sign up for this service.

Already done that at the start
It's not a phone issue, as it does the same on my Desire HD. I think it's an issue with either the network or YouTube and the routing or something for the videos. The YouTube app is working, as related videos show in the list and comments work, just none of the videos play
Very frustrating!

Check if your internet apn includes any proxy server.
If yes, write it down, remove it and reboot your phone, then try again

There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry.

When I try to watch YouTube videos, I get the error mentioned above after three or four tries it takes at loading the video. This occurs no matter what ROM I'm on, or what version of YouTube I use. Sometimes after I switch ROMs I get about 10 minutes of video playback, but then I get the error. Thank you!

I've got the same problem. Whenever I try to play a YouTube video (doesn't matter if it's on the YouTube app, or the website) I get the "Touch to retry" error. However it was running smoothly just a week ago. The only change I made was installing the Semaphore JB 2.9.8 kernel. Is it possible that the kernel has caused this problem? I'm running CM 10.1 on my Galaxy i9000.

Well the search didn't get me to the semaphore thread and the semaphore was only a guess, so there's no need to be mean.

youtube not working since updating to jelly bean

I updated my l9 to the official Indian jelly bean few days back and since then youtube app fails to play any videos over wifi. Wifi and internet otherwise works perfectly fine on the device. Even in the youtube app I can search, look up videos within my subscriptions fine , just can't play anything over wifi. I get the error - "problem while playing touch to retry". Works fine over 3G though.
I have rebooted the phone and wifi modem/router multiple times which didn't help. I also uninstalled all the updates for the youtube app still no help. Reinstalled the youtube updates still same problem
Has anyone else faced similar problem since updating to jelly bean?

I haven't rooted my phone yet. The only reason I am reluctant to contact lg service center because I think they may not consider this as a phone/device problem. But I will try that eventually.
I feel if I could reinstall the youtube app it might help but then I'm not rooted and this app came pre-installed.
is there a way to remove pre-installed apps without rooting?

As I always say, XDA is not for lion-hearted people. Others should not even come here. :laugh: I am not rough and tough user and take good care of my phone, therefore I dont care about LG's warranty and thats because I am here on XDA.
Even if anything happens to my phone in future, I will take it as bad-luck, but till then my phone will live life to the fullest. :angel:
You can update YT, if it shows Update button. Otherwise No, if not rooted.
Same problem here. Literally tried everything. I'm gonna root the phone tomorrow and try removing with Ti Backup and installing separately. Hope that works...

However, for me YouTube works on ICS and CM10.1. But ICS is too old for me so I'm forced to be on 20A. Roms from other regions don't work too. So hopefully LG will release an update soon or CM gets stable.

youtube is working again over wifi on my p765. I have been using the default router+modem(huwaei) provided by my ISP for last 7 years. Since it was an old model (54mbps, only b/g) I was planning to get a new one and finally I bought and configured the d-link 2750U and youtube started working again.
I still can't figure out what exactly made the difference because the old router was working perfectly fine all these years with various devices including my p765 before the jb update.
