The exact same things been happening with my phone as well. The last two days it started acting up. I also noticed someone else describing the exact same problem. It can't be a coincidence. My CV channel videos all work as well. Could it be something with opera min browser or bolt browser? I honestly haven't check out youtube on the default browser since installing the other browsers. It seems to be a network error if a number of us are experiencing the exact same grey screen and funny noises before it freezes or turns off.

I tried contacting at&t, they of course did not know what the problem was. So I went on-line to snoop around, it appears everyone / most are suffering the same problem, it's been happening for about a week now. So this is a mobile youtube issue. The people at the samnsun eternity site are having the same problems, so I guess this is a waiting game for all of us. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem. I got my LG Xenon about a week ago and I got the data unlimited to be able to watch YT videos but I get the same gray screen. I tried using other browsers and looking for a flash player but no success. As a last resort I called ATT and asked them but they told me "you can't watch youtube videos." I asked them about any type of software updates or any downloads that would allow me to play them and they were very unhelpful, just telling me that I can't watch youtube videos. I kind of gave up...

Guys, I think someone found a solution (unofficial one, but it seems to work).

here's the link, the samsung impression board Swervin Slurrin did an optimization trick, I tried it, the video's seem to work now.

http://www.samsung-impression.org/browser/help-problem-w-youtube!/30/

"Hey everyone. I got youtube to play on my impression. It's a fix i read somewhere earlier.

I'm using opera. Make sure you have a youtube account created and you are logged in (if you are already logged into google then you should automatically be logged into youtube).

What you need to do is look on the bottom of of youtube mobile's site and click the help button. then scroll down the page and there is a section about optimization. Click optimise. Then lie on all the questions. (example: if you see an image lie and say no you dont see it)

On question 4 there is a button that says click here. Click that button. The next few questions lie and say you do see the videos.

Once you have finished optimising click on a video and hopefully you are lucky like me and it plays.

You can also go back to the optimization page and reset the settings if you screw up. I had to do this as I screwed up my first try."
