[Q] My new evo won't play youtube videos.please help!

No matter where I try to play them from, it tells me, sorry this video cannot be played...there was a problem playing the video. Anyway to fix this?
Thank you..

Does this happen even in the YouTube app? I get that from the webpage sometimes, but if I click on a YouTube link it gives me the option of using the app and it plays just fine.

youtube has always been iffy on all platforms of android and on most phones and it's a shame that it's googles own website and these are google phones lol... Sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

thank you its work like a charm

Code???
After i choose edit mode it asks me for a code how do i find out my code if anybody can help me thanks.

download msl reader from the market. it will tell u ur 6 digit msl #.
that is the number the prevous post told u u would need

You need to be rooted to get your msl using msl reader. If you aren't and want it. Call sprint and tell them you need to do an RTN reset. They will give you your msl during the process at the password prompt. Simply hang up. Make sure not to tell them you are just doing this for the MSL or they won't give it to you. They have to actually think your doing the reset.

my Evo on Cricket plays youtube videos just fine. It pretty much always did until the 3.70 update came out, at which point the fix posted above that removes the proxies fixed it right up.

Still won't work!!
Maybe im doing something wrong because my youtube still won't play and i cant stream anything either. Whyyyyyyy lol. If anybody has anymore ideas to help me in my quest to videos on the evo let me know thanks in advance.

worked wonders, thank you so much

Also call sprint if u don't have msl and say I can't. View any streaming content and the will send the fix to your phone in case u don't have the msl

The YouTube official app 2.2 or whatever is bugged with not playing videos over half the time. I can't even watch mine half the time, but if I visit the website I can watch everything.

[GUIDE] GPS without Data signal!! Works on tablets too!

credits to Coycane, he showed it to me, I'm just giving you the guide.
I use it on my Xoom with great results, so I can follow the car the whole way without needing internet as long as I open maps when on internet.
The way it works is simple; a Garmin GPS unit doesn't require internet to get you places, so why would your phones GPS? In reality, it doesnt.; the GPS hip can b programmed to communicate independently with the satellite, allowing you to be more Mobil without needing Internet!
But maps needs internet to start, so what I do is open maps, get my directions so they're on map, then I can turn off internet and the GPS lock will stay and follow me.
Its very simple; starts out the same way you'd do a prl hack;
1. Get your MSL number. Do this by getting an app from the market called terminal emulator. type in: su (hit enter) getprop ril.MSL (caps sensitive, then hit enter) your MSL will be there. It will be a 6 digit code. Write this down for later!
2. Install drivers for your device on your computer. Look up a Youtube tutorial on how to do this. It was the hardest part for me.
3. Download QPST. Link is below. On your computer, extract the QPST file, open it up, and double click on setup. Go through the installation process.
If you want to make a nandroid, tho it probably won't backup this section and I doubt ull have issues anyway, now would be the time to back up.
4. Go back to the phone and open up the dialer. Enter this: *#*#8778#*#*
5. On the menu that pops up there will be a section labeled "USB". Change it from PDA to "Modem"
6. Back to the computer. Hit the start menu and open up device manager. Double click on "ports" and you should see your device there. at the end it will look like this: (COM#). Write down the number at the end of the COM.
7. Hit the start and search for QPST and open it.
8. Now go to "start clients" and hit "SERVICE PROGRAMMING". It will ask what port you will be modifying, just click your device and hit ok.
9. there will be these tabs with CDMA, CDMA-2, ESN, etc. Click on the one that said "GPS or GpsOne". On the left check all boxes, usually phone has only 1 checked. REMEMBER what ur phone originally had checked in case you need to go back.
10. Finally, hit "write to phone". The phone should reboot, and you're done!
11. Once it boots up, go back to the dialer and enter the *#*#8778#*#* code again. Change it back from modem to PDA and you are done!

Make sense? And no, this hack is not dependent on any particular phone or tablet, should work on all androids; worked on my Xoom perfectly. Try it and best of luck!
Let me know if u have any questions or need any help. I've found it extremely useful on my wifi only Xoom because I can always know where I am without having to tether from phone first

Great write up, thank you very much! Looking forward to trying this out on a 1800 mile road trip soon - don't have to drain battery the entire time just to see how much farther to the next turn
A few suggestions that might help make the guide clearer:
2. If reinstalling drivers on your computer, be sure to remove the old ones! (while I could ADB into my device with no issue, when I switched over to modem from PDA, the computer didn't recognize the device, requiring me to reinstall drivers - probably conflicts from multiple android device drivers being installed)
7a. I had to add a new port in the QPST configuration interface before it saw my phone (ports, "add new port", "COM14" for port, "android" for label).
9. I had to click, "Read from phone", while in the GPSone tab, before it allowed me to modify any settings.
Again, these are all relatively obvious things, but extra clarity helps those of us who are a little slower
Thanks again - and GPS locked on within about 20 seconds. It does seem to be a little slower than normal, but that could make sense with all the extra options we're requiring of it.

Thank you ramy, just some concerns before I do this, does this effect my contract in any way (cost wise), will I still be able to get signal as normal?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2

That is a cool trick. However, you could do something a lot easier and not hacking anything.
Download Google Maps, enable the Lab "Pre-Cache Map". Pre-Cache the part of the map that you will be traveling and then you are good to go.
The Wifi receiver works as the GPS and for both my galaxy nexus 4g and asus tf300 has worked perfectly. Turn2turn navigation is amazing.
I am not sure if anyone else has tried this but for me its been a success.
However, I still have to admit your trick is amazing. I will try it when the Pre-cache method fails me.

This is pretty cool, locked uber fast and it's uber accurate now (verified by using maps and turning on satellite view) but.. I have to reboot to turn my gps off now? I can't get it to turn completely off without rebooting now.. Anyone else getting this?

It should have absolutely no effect on your contract since it utilizes the GPS chip in ur phone hardware to connect to the satellite, no sprint or any other middle man. I've used it on my phone for months with no issues, and I have it on my wifi only Xoom and works perfectly, and its not even on a contract, so that should be fine
I'll have to try the pre map cache thing, thanks for the tip! The thing is GPS is more accurate than eifi receiver, and searching for eifi sometimes takes more battery, so if found GPS to be more trustworthy, but that could just be me...I'll try it tho
I turn GPS on and off all the time with no issues. Might be ur agps data, so try clearing those and maybe wiping ur usual cache partition and see If it helps..mine never had an issue with turning it on and off..
Let me know if u have any other questions! Glad you all like it!

I'd think that as long as the thief connects it to WiFi, then yes. I use AndroidLost for my phones, and it'll send commands over WiFi so if that's connected then you should be able to GPS it or do the other neato features provided.

I'm confused..On my old Hero im 99% sure GPS lock worked without data (obviously couldn't get directions unless I had data for a min)
And the same goes with this phone. If data/4g is turned off and I open maps, I still get a lock almost instantly. GPS works while in airplane mode too for those who didn't know (along with WiFi).
Again, the only thing you'd initially need a data connection for is getting directions - at least with google maps.

Followed the instructions and everything went according to the write-up as far as the steps. Unfortunately I still need to have my cell radio on to acquire a gps signal

these are the QPST drivers, pulled from the 'HOW-TO flash to MetroPCS' thread

ok so this is weird.
I wrote the changes to the phone.
it rebooted. I opened my gps test app in airplane mode and everything worked. I disabled MODEM and checked PDA and checked the gps app again. all the sat's were gone...

[MOD] [GUIDE] GPS without Data signal! Works on tablets too!

I take no credit for this guide. i found it on the nexus s 4g dev section.
Master Ramy is the O.P.
so any shout out, fist bumps, high 5's, hitting of the THANKS button- make sure to send them his way.​
im always going to remote areas with no service. its always really crappy when gps fails and i have to pull out the fishing, hunting, atv map out from behind the seat.
this isnt going to fix all my navigation issues, but it should help.
i hope many of you find this useful. i havent tried this yet but it suppose to work with all androids.​

I am also having a problem getting the hidden menu to pop up. Since ICS it wont work. And I tried to go back to stock ICS and it still wont work. Does anyone have a fix for this?

doesnt google maps already do offline mode? and im pretty sure you can use gps with data off or else there wouldnt be a point in having offline maps, but im not 100% just a though

yeah google maps have an offline mode if you saved the map of whatever location you wanted beforehand. But, i'm not sure whats the purpose of this mod because GPS works without DATA already... so maybe its for preloaded maps? I got lost reading the OP and decided to breeze through the comments but that didn't really clear things up lol.

My GPS does not work without data...
Going to give this a try

Some other benefits of GPS working without DATA being on is using the phone as a golf gps. Battery drains pretty quick over the 4-5 hour period and not having DATA on could save a lot of battery. I tried using a golf app without data and it didn't work or maybe it was just the app.

I am unable to get the MSL # on both my TouchPad and GS2, I know others are having this problem as well. Has anyone found the reason and a solution? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Field PC from Incredible

Hello, please help to solve this small problem.
I was using my HTC incredible as it is but now I have moved to a region without CDMA.
I would like to use it as a field PC for my RC hobby. I looked around and all procedures I saw starts with USB debug mode but I could not turn it on as far as my device want to be registered on CDMA before. Help to make my phone free.
Present configuration:

Will really appreciate suggestion regarding ROM optimised for calculation.
Thanks in advance.

no, I do not need access to the mobile network, only need a powerfull "calculator" with several IO ports (screen, adc, camera)

I have tried now several registration calls, and ##778 - still nothing. Waiting for suggestions. May be its possible to flash it via ISPI or G-TAG?

Airplane mode? I'm also extremely confused - you shouldn't need to register anything if you are just using it as a pda. If it's an inactive device it should just not do anything as far as the network is concerned. If it's giving some mysterious trouble, put cm7.2 on it.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app

I think he means he wants to bypass the activation screen. Phone must have had a factory reset done.
Dial *228 wait a few seconds, then hang up. Do that 5 or 6 times in a row and it should let you past it.

[Q] ZVC changed dialer codes?

I used to use IOT hidden menu and either force my phone to 4g, or set it to force roam due to low signal. However, with ZVC the menu is different and I don't see the iot hidden menu anymore. Does anyone have any idea if it was removed, or just put under a different name/code?

Maybe this will help?
