    Every time I try to watch an embedded YouTube video, I get this

    [​IMG]
    Any idea?

    Didn't used to do this shit. Why the hell does it do this now? If I copy and paste link and paste it to the address bar, it works fine.



    Just one of the many many things that has turned to shit on my iphone.



    FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

    I used to love iphones. Would absolutely switch phones now. Iphones have a timer in them or something . And start to SUCK after a little while. I can type WAY faster than my phone can process it. And I suck.

    Honestly man... I was the biggest Apple fanboy there was. I bought the first iPhone and every iPhone up to the 4s. I bought 2 iPad 2's but in the end I just got sick of Itunes.

    I love being able to plug my phone into my computer and it be recognized as a hard drive. I can just copy and paste pictures and music back in forth. No more fucking play lists and being so fucking locked down. Plus I love the size of the screen on the Note III but I'm clearly compensating for something there ;)

    I don't even have music on this piece of junk. I just take pics, text, and use the internet.

    LOL at work if you have the nerve to show your iPhone you'll get stapled to the wall by android users. Pretty amazing.

    Mine is absolute crap. Super laggy for typing. No reason for it. As well as opening and close anything. Takes a few seconds for the apps or text/contacts/anything to open up.

    And my service is crap too.

    Apple products cant get viruses they said. Oh the iphone is never slow they said. They work great and are easy to use they said.........what a load of shite. My buddies mac would send me email viruses all the time. About a year and a half ago I broke down and got the iphone 4 just to see what all the hype was about. It worked well for the first month or so and quite frankly anything would have been better than the Epic i had before it. The iphone would lag programs, never have service when other phones on the same network had perfect service, phone constantly fucking updated, yet never seemed to change anything. The browser was crap, itunes is retarded, and best of all certain programs and features of other programs were not available for the iphone.

    Best part of the story: about a month ago the wife and I got rid of the iphones and went back to android. We would text certain ppl (family and close friends) and wouldnt get replies. So I went to the Sprint store and with out hesitation the dude goes, "do they have iphones?" Of course they did. Apparently, apple needed to come out with an update in order to receive texts from android users. So every person we knew with an iphone had to wait for the update to get our texts. The only way to fix the problem was to wait for the update. Moral of the story, if you want just a phone or mp3 player or tablet or quite frankly a good laptop go elsewhere; youlll also spend a fraction of the money.

    wow I am grouchy tonight.

    Phones got a virus from looking a hoe tube, thats why youtube doesn't work.

    Honestly my android doesn't play some youtube videos to, will sometimes get slow to. I cant make it lag from typing though.

    I have an I phone through my work. Never have had any trouble with it except one time the battery wouldn't hold a charge this lasted about a week. No apps were running, not on roaming,wifi wasn't on nothing at all should have been draining it, then it mysteriously went back to normal.
