everytime i try to watch youtube videos on my 8900 w t mobile 9 times out of 10 it crashes my berry.

im just using the standard issue player.

is there a better player or settings i could change to have this happen less?

What os are you on. I know there has been random problems for people between different os.. I had no trouble on .152 or .168

I'm hit or miss. Some vids play fine, other crash. I see there's a new OS out (174) but no on seems to be able to get a complete dl yet.

apparently 4.6.1.114?
im with t mobile if that helps.
can you tell me how to upgrade?

[Speedv1]

Check out the 101s on upgrading, a LOT of useful info there.

It was really a hit or miss for me as well. But recently I came to realize, when I was connected to a wifi, it wouldn't crash, but when I was on EDGE it would crash from time to time. Possibly an issue with memory overload?
I have yet to try an OS upgrade, but hoping that would resolve the issues.

I'm on .114 and it crashed my phone and I'm on Edge network.

[olliegrl]

anyone tried it with .174?

[crackberryangie]

I've noticed that if it's on wi fi it won't crash, it plays great actually. But if I am not hooked up to wifi and just using EDGE it crashes or takes fooooreeevveer!!

Hey,

I did some searching because the same thing was happening to me and I came across a post on the internet. (Sorry I don't remember what site, but I do remember what to do.)

First go to Options/advanced options/... click on TCP/IP and change the APN Field to read as follows

APN:wap.voicestream.com

Leave APN setting enabled Checked and APN Authentication Unchecked.

Save it and that should do it.


I can see youtube without being connected to wifi and it wound shutoff on me.

Try it let me know.

I'm glad someone posted this, this has happened to me numerous times. I'm sure they will make a youtube app eventually. Or the next official OS update will probably fix it for sure. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
