TheBlueDragon Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi people, I got a iPhone 2days ago and everything has been brilliant with it. But since yesterday YouTube wont work anymore. It lets me search for videos but all the videos show as 0:00 and when I select one it just says "YouTube videos require a cellular or WiFi connection" Whats happened?

dazzler4 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 its preferable to be connected to wifi if not you would need at very least a strong 3g connection as it would take far to long to download i would think. pop back in to cpw or o2 where you purchased it. if it doesnt have an o2 sim in it then that could be where the problem lays.

Guest Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 If your phone isn't showing 3G then it's not worth it anyways. The signal indicator also just seems to show whether there's 3G or not and not actually how strong it is. Best when using wireless anyways.

TheBlueDragon Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Where it was showing 3G yesterday it now just had a blue circle, does that mean the signal is rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 the blue circle means it's on EDGE, which isn't 3G, that could explain why youtube isn't working as the EDGE network isn't fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueDragon Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 Restarted and its still doing the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Restarted and its still doing the same as I said above, you'r either not in a good 3G reception area, or your 3G access has been restricted for some reason. EDGE isn't fast enough for Youtube and thus will cause problems and not play at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueDragon Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 I called my mate who has one last night and he had the same trouble but its all sorted now. Must have been a problem with the service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 the blue circle means it's on EDGE, which isn't 3G, that could explain why youtube isn't working as the EDGE network isn't fast enough. The E means EDGE, pretty sure the O is standard GPRS so the slowest of slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The E means EDGE, pretty sure the O is standard GPRS so the slowest of slow. Seems the O means online/connected, I did some testing... I had '3G' showing, and loaded up safari and it changed to an O, then exited safari, gave it a couple of minutes and it was back to 'O' I also tested this by disabling 3G and using edge and it did the same. I was told the O was edge by a friend, and I didn't think he was right, but he's had an iPhone longer than me (only had it for 4 days, and i'm now cursing that I didn't wait 2 weeks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
