Help Can't play videos

[VampireHunterE]

I can't play any videos. Can't play any using youtube app or youtube in stock browser. I've had no luck using opera mini, dolphin mini, or skyfire. All load them for a few seconds then I get an error saying it can't play. Does any one else have this problem? I'm thinking maybe its my 3g =/ It comes and goes often but I tried viewing videos at night when I have pretty constant 3g and get the error sooo I don't know

Maybe try grabbing Speedtest.net from the market and when the issue occurs, try running that app and testing to see how fast your 3G is in that location at that moment.

I seem to recall that this worked on my Triumph (I was using Dolphin HD). Do you have the latest Adobe flash installed? If so, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest?

Can you connect your phone to a wireless router with Internet and give that a shot so we can rule out the potential 3G issue?

... just a few things to try ...

There's my speedtest results. I don't know if that's good or not. I did have the latest and Adobe flash installed but it didn't help so i uninstalled it and later reinstalled it hoping it would work but it didn't. I still have it installed though.



Unfortunately I can't hook it up to a wireless router =[



I did a bit more researching last night and found on a forum, I can't remember the name, or the phone that had the same problem, but anyway the twitter app was the problem. I uninstalled it and now I'm able to watch videos =] well kind of... only when I have a decent data connection...

Yeah, wow, ouch. That's a painfully slow connection. Maybe try running that speedtest every now and then to get a feel for areas/times when your phone gets a faster connection speed.

At least you got the flash issue figured out. Worst case, I suppose you can start the vid and then pause it and let it buffer for a while.

Ouch that's rough and never give out your external ip address unless it's required. Also, you might have a defective phone unless you are getting 0-1 bars of cell service. If you are getting 3+ bars with those results get a replacement.
