YouTube 4.2.16 no full screen for Transformer dock

[burt_ie]

Just to let everyone know that the new latest Youtube app V 4.2.16 is out which brings a whole new design for 10 inch tablets, however there seems to be a problem for us Asus transformer users: When using the keyboard dock we loose the ability to play video in full screen. When the tablet is undocked it works fine.

I think everyone should provide feedback or a bug report to google so that they are aware of the problem and release an updated version with a patch (hopefully sometime soon)

I can't seem to log in. Everytime I try to sign in it tells me "an error has occured". I tried uninstalling, clearing cach, clearing data, and still nada. I'm using BlackBean #6 rom update.

Idd, there seem to be some problems with this update, I have no fullscreen button
when docked on my TF101 TF300 and TF700 and read some reports of Xoom owners
that don't have the button even without docking.
I'm going back to the previous version.

I've read a few posts from people with other devices who say as soon as they dock it they loose the ability to watch full screen. Seems like it's not just limited to Asus transformers

Without full screen button, it is impossible to do it with non-touchscreen device and without rotation sensor ...
It is a generic problem for all android device ...

Google have to fixe / add bouton like in the previous version !!!

The new YouTube UI is terrible! A major downgrade and uglier...

The fonts got bigger and many options are removed from the screen. Less video thumbnails fit now (less than half) compared to the previous carousel wall.

It's like a 'Youtube for grandma' edition. I urge you to keep a backup of the previous YouTube before you update.

Arrghhh. I had YouTube set to auto update. Who could've known YouTube would break it!!! I'm on a TF101 with a dock and the full screen button disappears, as soon as I dock....

Stupid Google. The 3D interface was also light years ahead of this new "upgraded" look.

Everything's getting crippled and dumbed down these days.....

Lets just make HUGE buttons and just that say something like: "U PUSH, I PLAY". "PUSH SEE", "PUSH ME", etc....:silly:

Same problem here. Since the last update, there is no full screen button, which is reeeeaaallyy annoying. Can anyone share the .apk file of the older version for downgrade?

The latest old version http://db.tt/bi3W1FE1
And how can I downgrade. I don't have root.
I know I can "uninstall updates" but that will go back to the stock factory Asus version.

Same problem here, VERY agitating :/ Hope google fixes soon

BTW Nooktablet, You can uninstall updates to take it back to the factory Asus version then download that version to your tablet, Go to settings and security, make sure the ability to install non-market applications is checked, and then run the .apk on your device, I just did this on my TF101 and it worked flawlessly (And its still stock)

Works for me tf201, the full screen button is on the bottom right of the video, I think it used to be near the like dislike buttons below the video though, but I could be wrong about that

It's not there when you are docked. If you remove the dock the button appears again.

Version 4.3.9 released on Feb 22, 2013 fixes the full screen button bug

Tried after updating my TF300 with the keyboard dock and the button now appears and works fine

Release Notes for 4.3.9 explicitly indicates the fix:

What's in this version:
* Use your Google+ profile on YouTube
* Control TV playback directly from the notification bar
* Fullscreen button bug fixed

(Sorry XDA won't let me post links to 4.3.9 since I am still a Noob)


Enjoy!

Did they fix the horrible interface that made the tablet have the screen space limitations of a phone?

Sorry, no idea. I had just setup my TF300 and noticed the issue with the missing button and hadn't played around with the YouTube UI much on the TF300...
