Mobile videos for youtube?

I Can't Play Youtube videos with my LG Rumor Touch from Virgin Mobile! Is anyboy else having this issue?

  • I have A LG Rumor Touch on the VM beyond talk plan, I bought this phone with the understanding that it is capable of video streaming i.e. playing Youtube videos, But all it does when I try to play A video on the youtube site is shows (downloading 0%) than after A minute or so it shows (Error there is A problem playing the clip) It does this for every video, every since I bought the phone. I did talk to A virgin mobile rep. & they told me they don't know why my phone doesn't play youtube videos, because it should. He said that he would have A tech SUPPORT person call me with 48hrs this was A week ago. Is anybody else having this problem with this phone? "more importantly" Does anybody else have the same beyond talk plan + phone and is able play videos on youtube on it, if not? i'm going to ask for A refund!

  • Answer:

    I think it will work if you go on the mobile form of youtube. If you go on www.youtube.com it will not work but if you use the mobile youtube it should work. (m.youtube.com)

Alright I am furious with virgin mobile right now. The first day I got the phone witch was sunday, I was able to watch youtube all of the time, then I was only able to watch it once in awhile, and now it won't work. I suggest that people call virgin mobile and leave a complaint or something so they will have to fix it. I tried everything to try to fix it and if anybody does fix it please let everybody know.

I called virgin mobile 2day and they said they were gonna do a investigation own the problem and would contact me within 1-3 days. Well see how that goes......

I bought mine May 28th. I have the exact same problem. Neither version of YouTube works. The Rumor Touch tries to download the YouTube video into its Media Player. I don't know if that would work. I may just return the phone to Best Buy during the 14-day return window.

this also happened to me. the first three days youtube worked perfectly on my rumor touch and then all of a sudden it stopped working. i contacted customer service and they said they will try to find the problem in 1-3 days. and im still waiting.

Same issue here. It worked at first, now it doesn't. It's definitely one of the reasons I bought the phone. Does anyone else have the issue with Opera mini where you type into a form or login and it tries to take you to a different site? That's super annoying too.

I'm having the exact same problem, which is annoying, seeing as it was a determining factor in me choosing this phone over another model. Sad to say that I cannot figure out how to fix it either - and the getjar option doesn't work, as the phone does not seem to support .jar files, despite the Rumor Touch being listed as one of the compatible phones on the site. You may have to just keep bugging customer support until you get somebody who knows what they're doing... and I may do the same.

try using the opera mini browser.

most people may have a micro sd card in their phone...when i took mines out it played the youtube videos it doesn't play when its in and when u take it out and it still doesnt play take ur battery out and put it back in then try again
