    Do I need to do something to get all Youtube links to open the Youtube app and load by default in that? All my browsers just open the Youtube page like a normal webpage and I get the Flash error, Id swear on my previous phone all YouTube links in any browser would start the Youtube app the second you pressed them...

    go into app settings and look for whatever browser opens when you click youtube.

    go to the bottom and you should see clear defaults.

    Now when you try a youtube link it will give a pop up of all apps that can open it. from that you can select youtube

    Ive cleared defaults on all my browsers and the Youtube app though and when I click on a Youtube link in dolphin, Chrome or Android browser it just loads the youtube page except the video is black with the white text about needing to install Flash etc, on my Xperia the Youtube app used to kick in at that point and load the video that was on that page if you know what I mean...

    yeah i know what you mean.

    try uninstalling and reinstalling the youtube app or install another youtube player (tube mate for example if you can find it)

    that should give you the selection screen next time you click a youtube link

    See the last post in this thread for how I solved it eventually, not really a solution but good enough:
