It's just me, or youtube app over 3G sucks? - Desire General

Hi all,
I don't know if it's just an impression, but after the Froyo upgrade, watching Youtube videos over 3G on my Desire is a no go.
Videos get chopped, they don't buffer. Ok, 3G is not as good as wifi, but if the videos buffered, I could just wait a little for the buffering and then play them, without jumps or lags.
Is there a solution for that? I do like watching some videos in Youtube sometimes, and I don't want to need wifi connection to watch them properly.

[Q] video playback issues with GS2

Hi
I have some issues in the video recorded by GS2 device. It works fine and excellent when i play it in my GS2. I copied the mp4 files to my laptop and when i play it using VLC media player, it plays fine for few seconds and it freezes. After some time it plays back fine. The freezing part if puerly random Its happening for all the mp4 files that i copied over to my laptop.
I dont have any issues playing other mp4 files from my laptop using VLC player. Is anything/any settings needs to be changed?. Do i need to use different player?. Please help.
Thank you
that's your laptop codec issue
download CCCP and install it
VLC is not the greatest player, i use Zoom player, or the plain media player classic included with CCCP
VLC is one of the worst player ever (IMO)
[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy S2 plays choppy videos?
I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 that I just got like 2 weeks ago.
I have played videos using the VEVO app, Youtube app, youtube on the web, and watching Netflix.
All the videos I play seem to play choppy videos. My friend said it might be my bandwidth. I tried on my wifi, and also when connected to HSPA+. But when I do speedtests on T-Mobile's network, I get as high as 21Mbps down. Videos still choppy at times.
Is it the phones screen, or TouchWiz UI, or the T-Mobile ROM itself? I want the videos to play clear like on my old Nexus One, ipad 2, and like on my PC.
See? The problem is you have an ipad, as soon as you get rid of it it will play videos like magic. Ipad sends signals in teh air!

What?
I am watching videos from online. Not videos that Ive put on the devices.

Streaming Video/Audio Sync Issue

I have a stock HTC Wildfire S that got the ota update to 2.35 er so. Before and after the update I am experiencing Streaming Video/Audio Sync Issues when trying to play video through my browser and the Netflix app. The audio rolls along with no hinderance or interference while the video stops, jumps, glithches or just plays but way out of sync with the audio. I have tryed several different websites to no avail. The craziest thing is, through the Youtube app, all videos play crisp and with no flaws. This is all being done over WiFi and has been tested on several different WiFi connections. On a side note, formated videos that are on my SD card also have no issues. I have the version of flash player for my version of android installed and 30-40mb of open internal storage.
Any idea would help, ty.
Same here. I wonder if overclocking is needed to get Netflix to play decently over WiFi.

Same here, I 'm even trying to get Skype to work. My wives LG Optimus Elite can stream Skype and Netflix video just fine even over a good 3G signal.
Yet on the Wildfire just trying to do audio with Skype wont even work on WiFi.
I am regretting this phone more and more.

Slow video buffering (youtube)

Has anyone watched YouTube videos on their Note 4 yet? I get really slow buffering while watching 720p quality. 360p will buffer at times. I am on LTE, and my speedtest results are 7-10megs.
My girlfriend's s5 streams the same video on 720P alot faster than mine on LTE, at the same location. I added an APN to match hers, but no luck. Is there something I'm missing? I have not dropped the phone, yet...
Thanks for reading.
I use videobee personally because I like the way it caches the videos in comparison to the native YouTube app.
It also has an added bonus of allowing the video to be streamed via WiFi and LTE/4G/HSPA+ simultaneously, making those terrible public WiFi connections useful.
I wish there was a way to bond/aggregate all traffic that way, it would be nice to have the option so I could at least put a dent in this 30GB plan each month.
The smart network switch setting in the WiFi of this phone leads me to think it uses a form of load balancing which would be great if it actually allowed LTE to stay on while on WiFi, which perhaps or does, but then again I haven't tested it at all.
Sorry, went off topic a bit, I digress... try videobee.

Heck...I get very poor video buffering of Youtube on my PC, with Cable 'Up to 50 Mbps download speed'. I stream HD videos and stuff from Netflix all the time, no issue. Watch Youtube=crap downloads/buffering.

Video streaming and loading

Anyone else have issues streaming videos recorded on your phone in full hd to your Samsung tv? Mine buffers or loads so frequently it's almost not even worth the effort. My buddy at work says he gets the same thing, so wondering if it's just that the dnla or whatever it's called is just too slow?

YouTube playing in 480p by default

So the option to play videos in 1080p is there, but I have to manually choose it every time I watch any video. Every video from every channel plays in 480p now on this phone. Every other phone I've had only does that if my Internet is slow. It's a pain can anyone offer any insight? Not rooted fully stock on AT&T but using Comcast WiFi.

Not an issue with the ROM or device firmware. YouTube dynamically sets the video quality based on your Wi-Fi or data connection speed, but it's pretty strange at times. Even though my connection is 200mb/s down 50 up with TWC, YouTube drops me to 144p. If it really annoys you, you can use YouTube's web version as an alternative.
