NO YouTube on 4G LTE

YouTube videos WILL NOT PLAY on the 4G network in Atlanta Georgia. It was reported on Saturday 2/25/2012 and as of today 3/1/2012 it STILL DOES NOT WORK.

YouTube will work on 3G.

I called Verizon yesterday, re-reported it.

Today I am wondering if they are listening or even care ???

Can anyone in Atlanta who owns a 4G phone OTHER THAN THE THUNDERBOLT test this? Can you watch YouTube videos using 4G ?????

Thanks.

Arnett,

I got a voice mail from a Verizon tech that said that it WAS A VERIZON NETWORK PROBLEM and that it has been fixed.

I wonder why you did not know this ?

does anything else work on 4g? can you stream video from anywhere else while on 4g?

Everything else works fine.

YouTube will begin buffering then time-out.

Same result in APP or in Browser.

It will work in WiFi.

It will work in CDMA (3G) mode.

YouTube begins to buffer, then fails, in 4G mode.

REaL StRaNgE !!

I spent an hour on the phone with Verizon staff on two different days........with no result.

I post here, and it is fixed in less than 12 hours !!!!!

I'M VERY HAPPY NOW !!!

I saw this same thing in the Rezound forum. Did they actually do anything, or did it just start working again?

Hello jcat30127,

Thank you for sharing your concern on Youtube not working on 4G on your device! As it stands, there is not a 4G issue in the Atlanta, GA area. Although I'm not quite sure as to why you receive the error message, I can assure you that we do not restrict Youtube or any other media from our 4G network. May I ask did you receive an update on your Youtube app? Rumor has it that Youtube was updating their services to enhance the customer experience. This may have had an indirect effect on your services. In either case, I'm glad to hear that it is working for you! Let me know if you need any additional assistance.

Thank you...

Could be due to YouTube app update from a few days ago. In addition, it will now show videos in 720p, full resolution for our screens.

Demmo will it go full 720p when the Video starts or is this a feature on YouTube that has to be enabled to get it. B33 :smileyhappy:

I'm having the same issue - in Colorado. When on 4G network - youtube just spins and spins and never loads the video... Vimeo and other videos work fine as well as all websites browse fine on 4G - but not youtube. Switch to wifi mode and youtube works fine then. I tried uninstalling latest you tube update, reintstalling it, restarting phone, etc. but did not solve problem. :smileysad:
