Unable to play videos on youtube after update!

Hello I have been looking for a few days now to try and find a solution but I have had no joy

When I got my phone 3 days ago I was amazed with how quickly I was connected to my WiFi network and able to surf

Happy as the proverbial pig listening to BB king on youtube with perfectly clear video and no stutter

When I plugged my phone into my PC it reccomended updates which I did.

Now I cant view any video at all on my phone.

The screen is blank but the sound is ok. After trying it a moment ago on the very same BB king video it showed a still frame, and the sound was just stuttering non stop.

I would be gratefull if someone could help me out because I am not tech talented.

Thanks

Rob

backup everything with the backup & restore app and then repeat the same process as you did to update your phone and reinstall/repair the software/phone

not quite, its not supported on all 2.1 androids

try this

There seems to be privacy concerns reading some comments about the Skyfire web browser

Also this seems heavily geared toward Facebook which I do not use

I just want to watch the odd documentary Slightly_frowning_Face

Thanks for the help anyway

You been great
