I remembered the YouTube app a few month ago would display HD video even on 3G, but now, even with a 6mbps 3G connection , it only displays HQ option instead of HD. And the quality is not good enough. How do I solve this problem?
Depends on the video. Is it the exact same video?

Try using some old youtube.apk and don't let it to be updated it Play Store. There was similar thread some time ago, and i think someone even mentioned since which [youtube] version this option has been removed.

Yes, the same exact video
Hello
I uploaded 1080p and 720p videos taken with my Note 2 on Youtube. But then the quality is very bad when im watching them on the youtube app frop the phone. Even in HQ. Is this normal ?
Same thing watching them from a computer in 480p ( i have to choose 720p streaming minimum to have it quite ok but for me its a lof of time to load) but I have seen some video test taken with the Note 2 and they look fine in 360p.
Anyone experienced it or has a solution ?
Can you give us a link to the YouTube video so we can see what's going on?
I haven't uploaded video into YouTube from this phone, but I don't see why the quality would be poor.

you have to wait for a while for YouTube to work on the video first.

really ? I'll wait a few days then and see what happens.
Just checked from the phone, it's HD, no problem with that. Quality looks okay.
One thing, in phone, HQ and HD are two completely different things. HQ could be 480P but HD is 720P.

The quality is hd and looks fine on my phone. What exactly aren't you happy with? Does it look blurry? Blocky? Jerky?

Thanks for playing my video.
This is the quality I have with the HQ activated.
I'm not sure this is an okay quality, i've seen better. You both had the same kind of view ?
Even played it with my LG phone, its the same.
Just so we clear, I just have to click on the HQ button on the bottom left corner right ?

I'm not sure if this screen capture will be posted in high quality, but the one you posted does look very low resolution.

The uploader on xda app only proposes me 640x360 max size.
But we can see my quality is completely different from yours no ?
You cant even identify childrens face lol ! I have no clue

Again, if the video is 720P, then it should show HD button, not HQ, on your Note.

It is a 1080p video ! First you should try it on your computer you'll see the quality is very bad in 360.
And I have never seen a HD button on youtube android app, only HQ. Have you ? Its the same with my LG phone, shows HQ.

Well I rarely see videos which show HQ. I see HD most of the time.

I feel dumb lol. I found the reason why I havent got it HD. using WiFi gives me HD. but 3G network doesnt. I always use Mobile data.
I really have a good network connection, the carrier or Youtube must have blocked HD videos. still, my 3G HQ quality really sucks then
thanks for your time
now for the second part of the matter, is this normal 360p using the computer to stream is such a bad quality ?

Just enable hd on mobile data if you have a big enough data plan.

Do you have a compression app like Onavo Extend running? Maybe the video is being compressed to save bandwidth on playback?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
The native YouTube app on our phones only support HQ on mobile data. HD on wifi.
There is a hacked YouTube app on XDA which allows HD on mobile data, but you need to root to be able to install it.
I'm using it at the moment and it's beautiful.
It's got nothing to do with your carrier blocking HD on mobile data, just the YouTube app itself.
Try the hacked YouTube app here on XDA.

I asked a friend to try it on his 3G network but with Galaxy s3, he had HD with no hack.
Thanks I'll definitely give it a try !! (nice draw )
EDIT: it definitely works ! thanks a lot
So you installed the YouTube .apk?
Yes yes I previously edited my comment thanks again

Hey guys does anyone else have this bug with the YouTube app playing HQ +HD videos in the worst ever quality? Cause when I watch a video in either of those quality it displays it in the most unreadable display ever. I've tried resetting my phone but no luck. Does anyone know of this problem?.
If you try to watch with mobile network I think you have to enable hq specifically for mobile networks in the youtube app!
Edit: the setting is called "high quality on mobile" under the general settings

Simple question. Have anyone else ever noticed that when using 4G network that the quality of their video is significantly lower than that of the Wifi? Our phones are made for handling full HD so why not give it to us at all times unless we ask to get HQ and Not HD? seems a little silly to me. Not thay much of a bother but I'd just like to see my videos in full HD whenever I'm on the go.

Check your youtube app settings. If you want it to load in high quality when on a mobile data network you have to explicitly tell it to do that.
No no I understand that. But watch a video in HQ on YouTube.. Then connect to wifi and watch it in HD. There's a good deal difference in quality. At least to me anyway

You have to use the modded YouTube version by theo0so. That's the only way.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah there's a modded youtube floating around that allows you to watch in HD over 4g. Personally I don't see much of a difference between HD and HQ.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
When on 4g the highest is going to be HQ. But when you're on wifi or LTE It's HD. Or as mentioned you can use the modded YouTube app to always have it on HD regardless of connection.

Ahh! Thanks for the information all of you! I saw a slight decrease in resolution in the videos between HQ and HD and for some reason it bothered me. I'll be downloading this app immediately! Thanks!
Looking to see if anyone else has the problem with the video stutters but audio is fine in apps like HULU or Netflix. For my note 3 it feels like the apps are not updated to support this awsome device yet. Does anyone notice this or have the same problem? Or is it just my Note?
Hulu lags for me too and I'm on strong wifi. No idea what's wrong

My note stutters on hulu too.

I msged hulu trying to get this fixed and they won't help me it looks like without proving my IMEI number which is just plain dumb.
Has anyone found a solution for this or is it just certain devices? It is very bothersome not being able to use apps.
I get stutters on any 1080p YouTube video and any video inside of chrome or stock browser.
