For some reason my phone will no longer play videos from youtube. Everytime I click to watch a video it opens a screen that says blackberry and it starts to load. But then it cancels and says that it is unable to render the page. How can I fix this? (it used to work and now it doesnt, i didnt change any settings.) thanks
Youtube used to work fine on my phone until one day ( I think it was a tuesday). When a video is clicked on a message is recieved saying "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash Player."
So i first clicked on 'Get the latest Flash Player' and it installed fine. However; nothing changed. Still no video playback, and yes I'm pretty sure JavaScript is turned on.
I have the following enabled a.k.a chech mark applied.....
Enable JavaScript Location Support
Support JavaScript
Allow JavaScript popups
again i never changed any settings. At least not in the menu itself. Just youtube videos stopped working on my storm.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks all...
the only time i've ever had problems watching youtube vids on my blackberry was when i didn't enter through the mobile site: m.youtube.com
if you enter the mobile site, all the vids should work...

This should fix the problem:
Open your browser on your BB
Press Menu (the button to the left of your track pad/ball)
Options
Browser Configuration
Scroll down to Browser Identification and make sure the setting is Blackberry. If the settings is Firefox or Internet Explorer this is your problem.
Firefox or Internet Explorer settings tell the server your using a computer and that is why your being asked to update Flash.
If your setting is BB, then the server will automatically use the mobile site at m.youtube.com
My Youtube stopped working on my curve 8330 as well, tried regular and mobile versions. tried 3 different browsers as well. Java is enabled as well The only way that i can view videos is via a crappy youtube player that i downloaded.
I know most networks block streaming especially T-Mobile they block types like YouTube as they use to much data traffic as the network is running NAT so you will get a IP like 10.116.3.2 address's and slow everyone down on there network. They like to be faster then any other network.
Try it on Wireless / WiFi and see what happens

I have a curve 9360 and just now I realized that my youtube isn't working, when I go to a video the cursor doesnt turn into a hand in order for me to click onto the video. Any suggestions?
Hi any dinosaurs out there.
I use opera mini with my immortal pearl 8110 when I choose play video it goes automatically to the phones browser and when I push play I read something like this
The protocol is not specified by the handheld try another URL.
Thanks in advance.
