    Its only the youtube site your having problems with i take it? Have you tried another browser, like opera mini. This seems to happen to meteor customers quite a bit, they should look into it.

    The video wont download tryed on Nokia and No Responce has Meteor stoped youtube or is it down ?

    The site is not down no. Its possible settings on the phone need changing, but more probable that its something on meteors end since so many are having problems.

    Has everyone having problems had it working before so to rule out the settings?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Me and a friend have had it working !

    No mine has never worked, only got the phone four days ago. Its probably just the settings that are wrong or something. Think i will just have to ring meteor seeing as they havent replied to my email.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    It hasnt worked for the last 5 days your settings are ok


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,340 CMod ✭✭✭✭Davy

    What kind of update are you looking for?

    Have you contacted Meteor?

    That sounds like your best option right now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 jacdaniel


    I was trying to view a video and i kept getting "no response try again". Rang meteor and asked them if there was a network issue.

    They said.

    Turn the phone off for 3 minutes and then try.

    It didnt work and i wasnt arsed ringing again lol!


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Meteor customer care havnt a clue usually


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 jacdaniel


    I thought it was just me with the issue because Meteor had not heard anything about the problem when I reported it. Probably still dont!

    Last time i had an issue it just resolved itself after a week.

    Youtube updated site before. And this time Vodafone works on it and meteor dont.
    .
    Using mobile browser signing in is still problematic.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    O2 dont do streaming and vodafones isnt as reliable as Meteors was

    You can use o2 for m.youtube streaming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,224 ✭✭✭Walkman


    I would say its a problem on Meteors side as the site is working fine on 3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    It was working for me last night on meteor


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    I tried using O2 and it wouldnt work.
    .


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    First i got streaming settings no luck.
    Then got datd settings no Luck Rang back again and they havnt a clue. I think it might only work in 3g covered areas now. Can anyone confirm.
    .
    If this is the case its a bad state of affairs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 140 ✭✭girloperfection


    Has anyone else got theirs working yet?
    Brought my phone into carphone warehouse today and the guy in there told me it was a network problem and sent me down to the meteor shop where the guy in there deleted all my internet settings and sent them to the phone again and told me that when they came through to turn off the phone and turn it back on again and it should work, but it didnt. Hadnt time to bring it back in again :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    It's working for me again both through the data access point and the wap one

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    It think only works in 3g coverage which on Meteor is not a lot.
    .
    Ive switched from meteor for browsing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭Emerson


    I can't for the life of me get streaming on Youtube or the radio streaming site Moodio on Meteor whether the 3G symbol is on or not.

    Using the Sony Ericsson w995. Been onto Meteor lots of times and gotten the settings sent out again and again to no avail.
    Tried all bar the MMS option eg Meteor Data, WAP & Streaming under Connectivity>Streaming but all lead to "Failed to Connect to Media Server" when clicking on a video or audio link.

    They work perfectly over WIFI when at home though.
    Thinking of dumping Meteor to go with 3 over this..

    Both of those sites work for me,moodio even works well over GPRS if you turn the bit-rate down. Just make sure in the settings proxy is turned off and the apn is either data.mymeteor.ie or wap.mymeteor.ie.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Ive moved to 3 from meteor 1gig for 10euro . Much better and cheaper


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭Emerson


    Under streaming settings, APN = data.mymeteor.ie
    Proxy = off
    Username = my
    Password = wap
    Authentication = PAP
    Data & Header compression = On

    "Failed to connect to Media Server"

    Turned bitrate right down to 12kbps and still no joy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭Emerson


    Nowso.. that's my thinking.. Meteor help staff cannot solve the issue.
    In south Dublin, urban area. Should work.

    Plus I'll get that 10 euro per month back in bonus credit anyway. Will miss my free meteor-meteor calls but can always move back.

    IIRC there is a bug in certain SE Ericsson handsets when it comes to streaming .... disable the proxy for your browser as well as the streaming client and see if that works (or simply set the Data APN to be used for Browsing as well as Streaming).


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    Its with nokias also Meteor have stoped it. The companys are bringing in Stealth charges on data and or limited the service.

    Emerson you could keep your meteor for calls etc. And get a 3phone for Browsing etc

    It works fine for me. There is a known issue with certain Sony Ericsson phones - as said above, not sure what the problem is with Nokias.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 463 ✭✭Emerson


    Yesterday I bought a 3pay sim.. Works like a dream! Online radio from all over the world in stereo on the bus with virtually no skipping.

    Not impressed with the lack of online top up with 3 though. I've come to expect this service. Took me an hour to top up over the help line. Woeful.

    Will tinker around with Meteor again but I'm pretty sure I've taken the proxy off both streaming and browser and have tried all the APNs.

    Three just works. Simply.

    You can top up online with a 3v card

    3 takes a bit of getting use to but then its grand


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    U can top up using my3 on your mobile also


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24 keeluz


    There's a known issue with You Tube on Meteor. Something to do with proxy's. They say they're working on a fix - it's effecting certain Nokia and SE handsets

    Do you not need to have a voucher for that? I thought you just entered the number.

    It's working fine on my N95. It wasn't for a while but it's fine now


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    How is there a Known Issue and then when people ring they say they dont know whats up and just send people out settings that dont work.

    Considering that you cant forward videos by Mms to Youtube anymore on Meteor there is a more going on that meets the eye.

    A bit off topic so sorry in advance but proper on line top up will be available soon with 3.

    They know the issue but not the solution...hence they can't advise customers. Not much use to customers, but isn't the first stage of fxing a problem admitting you have one (sometimes networks seem to think customers make these things up or it's the customers' fault)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    This has been going on for a long time now it taken them a long time and plenty of lost custom to do that.

    Emerson what bit rate works with Moodio


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 450 ✭✭DRice


    is this working now? thinking of getting a w995 on meteor and not being able to watch streaming is putting me off :mad:


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 5,969 Mod ✭✭✭✭Nowso


    I doubt it very much .
