I am having problems uploading a 9.56mb video through youtube and gmail through the 3g and wifi network. I keep getting file to large error message or youtube says it can't find account information. Can anyone help? I am ready to throw my droid through the window. At this point, Droid doesn't should be the slogan, not Droid does!

I kinda went thru the same crap, but I did soooo much to try and "fix" it that I can't pinpoint any one thing. I know I went to youtube and found a place in my account setting to "unlink" accounts, which I did. I logged back into youtube on my Droid,(which it then FINALLY let me do), and the video then uploaded... Again, I did some other crap too that I don't remember as it was all just a frantic blur and I stayed borderline regarding throwing it out the window. I'm glad now that I didn't as all is now right with the world. If I remember some other stuff, I'll definately come back and post here, but in my searching, I noticed many, many, many such problems, so just know we ain't the only ones.

I deleted my cache and data as suggested and it FIXED youtube for me.

I've never been able to upload vids on mine, keeps saying searching for wifi, what am I doing wrong?

 

[kbayer]

Yeah, to upload video, you have to have a wifi connection first... can't just be 3G.
Once it connects to wifi, it can start uploading. The only other option is to hook the phone to the computer with a USB cable, send the vids to your computer, the upload to youtube from there.

thats the problem Ive been having. it keeps sayin "waiting for wifi", an I think the only wifi signal is at jamba juice by my house..LoL

Another question... is there an upload size limit on the Droid app?? I've been uploading videos for a couple months with no problems but I tried a couple the other day that are over 100mb and now matter how many times I try ... they don't show up on youtube ... they upload ok and say complete but then they just disappear into thin air... frustrating

 

[highbl00d]

better yet, what is the best way to UL videos? like mentioned, i tried uploading a video and it said searching for WiFi. is there anything other than youtube to UL a video? or should I walk down to Jamba and do it there..LoL

 

[modette]

Could you not just plug the phone into your PC's USB connection and transfer the video over and upload it?

The test video I did to youtube worked fine over my WiFi.

 

[highbl00d]

I didnt think of that...lol
