Slow YouTube and pandora streaming. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I am rooted and on black bean 2 with the nyan kernel. My YouTube app won't stream videos over wifi. It plays for 5 seconds and buffers and then it goes over again.
Plus Pandora doesn't stream as well. This is over wifi OR 3g. It acts like it's going to play a song and then just skips to the next one. Then it does it again. So it's skipping through songs without actually playing anything.
I am on the 00002 Verizon prl so I get better than average sprint speeds in my area (I have a sprint Nexus).
So any tips for my poor streaming? My og evo streams just fine over wifi. Are there settings I can change? Or kernel and rom tweaks I can do?

This is really all u can do. Disable high quality streaming. If they are I don't know what else to do.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^

Same issue on black bean. I'm going to try some other kernals.

I'm going to go back to stock and test there. If it works then I know it's the rom/kernel combo. If it doesn't then I know it's the phone.
It just sucks being on wifi and STILL not being able to stream YouTube

I've personally edited my build prob. To stream faster. And you should use my Pandora.
I'm sure you'll love it NO ONE LIKES ADS... and I love to skip alot...Shh keep it on the down low
Here's the apk: https://www.box.com/shared/8b7c4787be177aa18fcc
If this gets taken down PM me for the apk

if it was the wifi freq then the phone wouldnt be able to get any connection at all, plus the OP mentions the problem over wifi and 3G.
Anyone on stock running into the issue? Ive tried a few kernels but its the same all over. It looks like a rom issue.

Just flashed simply android rom and it still doesn't stream pandora via 3g starting to think its my phone. Which is weird though cause I remember listening to Pandora a while back.

I'm getting the same thing on CNA 3.4.1
It must be Easter, Cuz my GNEX is destroying some Jelly Bean!!!

I have attempted several different .apk's as far back as Pandora 1.5.8
I've tried "modified" versions as well as google.market versions
I have located 1 version that works succesffuly on WiFi(I stopped looking after I was able to do that much)... but trust I attempted 10+ .apk's first.
So i've gotten it working on WiFi, but cannot for the life of me get it to work over 3g. I've got a Sprint Gnex myself, and this is becoming very frustrating.
I've been on black bean2, used the new BAMF Paradigm, currently running CNA latest, all with the same results regarding Pandora.
how bout the guy offering his file share those tweaked build.prop setting he was refering too?
doubt it's a setting i'm not familiar with, but i'm willing to try just about anything suggested right now
As far as YouTube, I am streaming a HQ XDA-Developers TV channel video right now as a test. HQ is a little .... I dunno the right word? rebuffers frequently but not horrible(i've gotten 1:30+ straight without inturruption). non HQ is seamless.

Maybe it is JB?

I am running stock on Jellybean and when I was rooted on Jellybean pandora didn't work, when I did the ota update Pandora stopped working again...

So I don't know about YouTube but if you download an older version of Pandora it should work

Allshare/DLNA is freakin COOL!

My parents just got one of those HD sets with it built in and so I finally tried this feature. It worked really well aside from some pausing, which I'm guessing is choking due to it being a 720p video from my phone and maybe the connection. The video itself was only about 45 seconds.
But what chiefly impressed me other than the proof of concept was that the devices recognized each other right away. Does anyone use it and is it smoother than my experience?
I've used it once before and put my music from my phone onto my ps3 other than that not really but I agree it is pretty awesome

Gmote is also very cool, but it hasn't been updated in forever and is sorely missing some features. Of course it doesn't use DLNA but it serves some of the same functions.

Hmmm...You should be able to find the apk around somewhere and put it back. I use Titaniaum backup and was able to keep it with that. I believe I have seen it available somewhere though. dlna.apk if I remember right is AllShare.
Dlna.apk
i just tried to install the apk for this and it will not install, i adb pushed it to /system/app and it still doesnt show up or anything. i am by no means an expert at this but i try alot of different stuff on my phone, anyone have anything else i can try to get the apk to install? i pulled the ak from this google spreadsheet, and it shows up at allshare v2.0

I also have TW on CleanGB. A couple posts had noted a difference between odex and deodex roms. That could be the issue. CleanGB is deodex.

but my TV has AllShare. lol i do use iMediaShare, but i was still curious why it wouldnt let me install it. i threw some tw files on my cm7 epic and got kies air to work, but allshare still wont work... i also got SamsungApps to work and installed Allshare Player from there but its not the same. it does work pretty close to the same though from what i remember of AllShare.
The wife and I both have Samsung phones... We recently picked up a 60 inch Samsung LED TV... Allshare works blazingly simply. Fire up the app, select what you want, and away it goes. It just works.

Does it ever choke or stutter on larger video files? Is the DLNA protocol somehow bandwidth limited? Maybe distance is a factor, or is it CPU/memory of the phone? Just curious because my one test choked some.

I've found that if I use the samsung task killer widget to kill apps (just hit the X), then go run allshare subsequent videos all run fine.
If I don't and just start trying to share videos, yeah it stutters badly.
I have a samsung plasma with all share and imediashare will play video to it without any problems
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Hmm I just installed imediasharelite. I didn't have to kill anything to get it to stream videos without stuttering. Nice.
I'm running CM7 now, and it doesn't have allshare, so I'm using skifta, it's a great alternative.

modified youtube hd working on cm9

here is a thread with modified youtube w/hd that i can confirm works on stock cm9 a5. he also has version for froyo/gb but i have not tested those personaly but should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529715 i am running the wifi 3g black theme and works perfect. hd looks amazing. make sure download is apk and not zip. i had to download to computer then transfer to phone to get proper file. be sure to thank op of original thread for awesome work.
Seems to work for me just fine on CM9 A5. Only issue now is that Sprint's data connection, at least in my area, is horrid.
i have to use roam control anytime i watch videos.

"The catch is that YouTube HD res won't work on every Android 2.2 or 2.3 phone or tablet, as we're told it is set dynamically based on screen size and resolution." Richard Lawler engadget
Aha
I can confirm the Modified Youtube APK WIFI+3G working on Stock Rooted EL30 for the Epic 4G. Instead of the usual High Quality, the videos are viewed in HD.
It's a tough call, as the resolution is the exact same size as when it was HQ. But I *think* I can notice the higher sampling. Nonetheless, I rather have this then not ever have the option.
Great!
I like this! My 3G speeds suck but this YouTube doesn't have the weird video artifacts in CM9 like the other one did.
Works like a charm on mine with cleangb, thanks!

Netflix - Sound but no Video (VZW)

My wife received a replacement phone and her netflix has no video. Everything works until you get to the actual video where the sound plays and everything shows (e.g. timer at bottom), but there is no video. I've tried various ROMs and OS version (4.0.1-4.0.4). I set it up to mirror my phone exactly and then even restored my nandroid on her phone but still nothing!
Anybody else have this problem and may be a fix??
Thanks!
I've been having this same thing happen using the Netflix app on my tablet. I just let it play for ten seconds or so and then grab the slider and pull it back to the beginning. Picture shows up and the video plays fine from there on out.

Google Play Movies WILL NOT Play my Movies.

So I have some purchased movies from Google. I recently tried to play one. It loads up, starts playing, and plays the first 9 seconds, buffers, jumps back to second 8 and boot loops between second 8 and 9 constantly. I went to Play Store and tried everything they suggested to troubleshoot the issue. Cleared cache. Pinned(downloaded the movie) for offline viewing. I even deleted it from system and reinstalled it. Nothing works. It plays 9 seconds and bootloops. I searched Google and XDA and couldn't find any threads relating to this issue. I have contacted Google directly and am awaiting a response.
Anyone else who can confirm this issue? Im running stock rooted LG8.

Correct Answer, you cannot play Google movies on a rooted phone or tablet, has to be stock. DRM(digital rights management) comes in to play which checks for root access, if root, then no play, because its easier to pirate a movie with root access

Not true, movies work on my rooted nexus7 and this phone as well. Google updated play to stop root issues and playback a couple months ago. I'm using cm10 on my phone and just downloaded all my movies as well as watched one, tablet is on paranoid ROM.
Earlier I was on codename, which would not let me download any movies.

Google made a big point last year (or was it hte year before?) to say that rooted devices will not be able to stream movies from Google.
I wonder if maybe AOSP ROm's like CM10 don't include the DRM APK's that would report on root to Google?
Still no response from Google. Still no movies streaming.
Google does allow rooted devices to stream. Im now running a stock jellybean rom leak. Still having the same exact problem.
I'm facing this issue too.. rooted deodex'd LJ7 build. I've seen some ROMs have removed DRM or something... Is that a way to get around this problem?
Try a different ROM. I am on free gs3 right now and just tested my movies, playback works fine.

Play Movies Freezimg

Hi. Maybe someone has had the same experience and can help me. Recently I tried watching one of my purchased Play Store movies. I can not get it or any others to play. Either they do not play at all, I get an error with random numbers, or they play for 9 seconds then freeze. When they freeze at 9 seconds, the sound start making scratchy notices then it will loop back to 0 seconds and start over.
This is just on my Galaxy S3. Works fine on my Nexus 7. Also if I use my Galaxy S3 to stream to my ChromeCast it works fine.
I have looked online and xda for info and have found a few others cases, but no fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Play Movies. Cleared cache and data from Play Movies and others system apps. Remove/disabled any mods. Hid root. I'm currently on Wicked Sensations MK3, but it used to work on it. But just to check I have also flashed other ROMs including a Stock Rooted MK3. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I will go back to a MD4 ROM and see if it helps.
