Hello. I've just recently updated the firmware for the phone and now I have the Youtube application on my phone. However, whenever I try to play the video back, it shows that it's playing but there's no video coming out of it. I've also tried downloading Opera Mini 4.2 and when I tried watching a video on it, the video doesn't buffer at all and it stays at 0% and several seconds later it says failed. It never did that before on my previous firmware version on my Opera Mini 4.2 and it played videos fine. Anyone else having this problem?

I had that problem, but it did solve by it self.. Try to connect by 3G/GPRS and not WiFi, see if it works..

Hmm, that's weird. It was playing fine when I was on EDGE before the firmware update. I'm at work and on my lunch right now so I'll stop by a cafe nearby right now to use their Wifi and test it out. Thanks.

Ok so I tried the wifi and yes it works. It's just weird that it only works through hi speed connections such as 3G or Wifi. Although hi speed connection is recommended for streaming content, it did work on EDGE connection before the firmware update. I guess I'll just have to live with it or until they fix it in the next firmware update. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Thanks again.

Speed should not matter I've played many video via EDGE, maybe you use connection profile for steaming options different from internet options. If the connection is too slow it can show at start video was interrupted, i've seen this when i was at FUP (<2kB/s) - even on so slow connection it played couple of seconds before it freezed

Yea less than 6kbps actually works for me, but you can barley hear anything and the video is just a grey square with green parts where there is some movement. Lol
