I don't think you tube will work on Edge, it's too slow.

Have no idea why it works thru Safari on Edge.

Likely the You Tube app has it restricted

Less than 10 seconds on Google .....:rolleyes:

Any one having the same problem ... I have iphone 3g ... youtube was working fine on Edge and on fine day it stopped working ...still works on Wifi though ...
 
Same here...thing is when i was on 2.2.1 youtube worked fine over edge.

Then i upgraded to 3.0 and youtube stopped working however i just ignored it thinking it would be adressed in a future F/W upgrade

last week i upgraded to 3.1.2 and STILL youtube doesnt work :confused:
(works over wifi)

f/w 2.2.1 rocks...i would go back but a lot off my apps are dependant on my upgrade :cool:
 
i wish it was easy ......

i have tried everything and i mean EVERYTHING ... :( .... doesnt work .... apprently nothing seems wrong ...and all the settings are in the right place

anybody with any ideas ? ??

-i have tried changing / updating carrier files.
- turning push on and off
- removing emails settings
- restoring
- Setting up as new phone
- removing all apps
- puttign in DFU ...

:(
 
That's strange. It should connect using the edge network. I just tried on my 3G with 3.1.2 firmware and it worked for me. Have you tried MxTube from Cydia? It's almost the same thing and you can save the videos to your phone. I know that doesn't fix your problem but it may be an alternative for now.

With 3.0 you had to do some funny tricks to get a hacktivated phone to run Youtube. It seems like the 3.1+ version of Pwnage tool takes care of this automatically -- sadly, I put 3.1 on my phone like the day before the 3.1.2 update for Pwnage came out, and I still haven't gotten around to doing 3.1.2, but with 3.1, Youtube worked without having to do anything funny.

Anyway also there was another thread today where it seemed that putting the Youtube app in a category caused strange behavior, but it seemed like the opposite of what you guys are describing.
 
well i tried this ...somehow now youtube on Edge is workign fine ...:confused:

go to this location on your iphone ... (i used iPhone browser)

/private/var/root/lockdown

delete everything in lockdown folder including the subfolder

Turn off you iphone. Turn on itunes on your PC / MAC then turn on you phone ... that was all ... it was working fine after that ......

did this work out for anyone else ???
 
Same Here

I work with a guy that sits right next to me in the office and he has one of the original IPhones. We are both using the Edge network. Neither myself or another guy in the office can connect to YouTube. (Both with Iphone 3GS).

Anybody got any ideas???:mad:
 
Cannot connect to Youtube

On my iPhone 2G with 3.1.2 (jailbroken), Youtube does NOT work over WiFi, and I don't have a SIM card. It just says "Cannot connect to Youtube". The fixes online all told me to add a repository, but the URLs were either bad or Cydia froze when I did it.
