Revelation! I probably should have caught on sooner, when others noted that they had to use the "T-Mobile" (WAP) browser instead of the "Internet Browser".... Turns out the real fix is a bit more subtle than that.

I had this working once, and then for some reason, it seemed to stop working. I would get the media player open and see "Loading..." and the video would never start. I even made sure that I was trying via the "T-Mobile browser", and that I was surfing to "m.youtube.com". Still no joy...

Then I got curious and edited my bookmarks from within the "T-Mobile browser". Specifically, I looked at my "youtube-mobile" bookmark, and found that the bookmark definition itself called for use of the "Internet browser", even though I started the "T-Mobile browser" in the first place. Seems that individual bookmarks can "request" the services of one version of the browser or the other, regardless of the browser you were in when selecting the bookmark.

It also appears that both versions of the browser share the same set of bookmark definitions.

So -- I changed the browser setting on my "m.youtube.com" bookmark to specify the "T-Mobile" (WAP) browser, and lo and behold, it works beautifully once again, regardless of the browser I'm in when I select the bookmark (since the bookmark itself forces use of the T-Mobile/WAP browser).

Subtle, but it seems to have fixed my issue with mobile youtube on my 8900 (and, btw, I'm running 4.6.1.231 at the moment).

Jon,

AWESOME news, I am gonna follow your steps tonight...Sounds like it should work for me

[vinmontRD]

I'll probably be online most of the night and into the morning --- I have a proposal to finish, print, bind, etc and submit to a client by tomorrow afternoon, so I don't expect much sleep tonight. I'll be curious to hear how you make out with this.

Good luck!

Took me a while to get it to work but I had to change my browser settings to enable java and allow java popups. It switches over to WAP browser to play it but it finally plays. I also downloaded the Bolt browser.

I can only play YouTube videos over EDGE, not wi-fi, and the connection is so slow, it's constantly buffering. When I'm connected to wi-fi, I get an error message that the network connection has timed out. I've tried refreshing and enabling JavaScript to no avail.

I'm on AT&T, does anyone know the correct apn setting to resolve this? Very frustrating not being able to use the wi-fi functionality.

Am orange and I need help on hw to watch youtube on my curve 8900

@anita -

What worked for me was to make sure that I was using the WAP connection to reach m.youtube.com. I did this by creating a bookmark in my Blackberry browser with the URL m.youtube.com. I then edited the bookmark (open the browser, press the menu button and select "bookmarks", then scroll down till you find the youtube bookmark you saved, highlight it, press the menu button and select "edit bookmark").

In the properties page for the bookmark you have an option to select the browser you will use to go to the URL stored in that bookmark. You should click open the drop-down menu and select your WAP browser. Mine is the "T-Mobile browser", you probably have an "Orange browser". After selecting that, save the bookmark. Then try surfing to the site by clicking on the bookmark in your list of bookmarks in the browser. Doing this made all the difference for me -- youtube mobile works fine now on my 8900 with T-Mobile.
