Help Youtube not working at all?

Restarting the phone will cure all sorts of weird problems. I have noticed that after turning 4G on and off a bunch of times, and especially wifi tether on and off a bunch of times, sometimes I get 4G weirdness and need to restart the phone. If that doesn't work, try a battery pull.

If you are having 4G issues, before trying the above, first try making a phone call or calling your voicemail. When the call timer gets to about 3 seconds, hang up. 4G should come back on. Turning airplane mode on for about 30 seconds then off again works sometimes too. If you have already done these things, then proceed to restart / battery pull.

Sometimes you get 4G logo, even with arrows indicating traffic, but without really having internet. One thing I do is open my Bandwidth Place speed test app. The first thing it does is check for the closest server. If it completes this right away (or pretty quickly) then I know I have internet. If it takes a while, then I know something is wrong.

Nah it still isn't woring, even after the update

Did u get the update? Because I didn't yet. I talked to some another data support rep because my market when out just like my YouTube but when I put my phone on 1x g it works YouTube but of course the videos will get frozen. So the tech rep told me that sim card might be bad it has something to do with 4 g .ima have my phone disconnected at the end of the month then reconnected and let u know if that's might be the solution

Who did you call? Mind giving me the number? I forced the update and it went through. Its actually helped a lot in terms of battery but my net seemsto have gotten worse. Also I believe my market isn't working as well. Could it be because of my tethering?

Thats not the same update. I talked 2 data support metropcs.just dial 611 ask customer service 2 connecting to technical support and ask them to connect you to data support and they will help you troubleshoot your phone and ask theme when is the newest update going to happen in California dallas was 1st to receive the update
