Help Upload to YouTube fails to start

[dzuckman]

Anybody else getting this: Take a video on your phone, and then through either the 'social share' icon from the video, or directly from the YouTube app itself, try to upload the video to your YouTube account. After I hit the Upload button, the button's text changes to 'Starting...' but the video never is uploaded, nothing in the status bar, no error, no force-close, nada. Anybody having YouTube uploads work?

If you are getting the same error please star the issue: Issue 23145 - android - [Youtube] Upload does not start. - Android - An Open Handset Alliance Project - Google Project Hosting

I did the same thing, but after awhile (a very long while) the video showed up in my YouTube account. No notifications or anything on the phone at all, but the network traffic was very active every time I looked at my phone. I had a 3 minutes video and I uploaded it via 3G. It was several hours later when I checked my account. Not sure exactly how long it took.

Scratch that.. I did get a notification and sending a 2nd one everything worked correctly. With the 2nd video, I was on Wi-Fi. I wonder if that made a difference?

Go to settings in gallery and make sure it is set to upload over any network. Mine was set to upload on wifi only and was persistently stuck in the "Starting" state.
