Recently I've noticed YouTube has been streaming very poorly via-3G. Although 3G has never been the best for streaming videos, it's been extra bad.
Basically HQ is streaming the way 'low quality' used to stream, and trying to watch a video in 'low quality' is simply unbearable. Like trying to watch a video through a rainy window. And it used to not be that bad.
At first I thought Sprint was messing with my data speeds, so I called tech support and asked them what the heck was going on. They too have noticed this change with the way YouTube has been streaming, and have received several calls regarding this weirdness, and didn't have an answer for me.
So I emailed YouTube a couple days ago, and still haven't received an answer.
Anybody else notice this crap, or what it could be?

any tweak for full screen youtube? there are 2 apps in the market please and neither play on full screen on the HD7...
Looks like we need something like 3G Unrestrictor (iPhone app) that fools the phone into thinking it has a wi-fi connection.
Or a setting in the YouTube app that allows you to select high quality.
I assume that, like on the Omnia 7 ,you get full screen video when using wi-fi?
Well that sucks.
well tried the wi-fi route and no luck...

Dude, you don't even have a WP7 yet you're in every thread commenting gleefully whenever there is negative news. That or informing us of how bad we have it.
Are you just trying to increase comment count?
To the topic, this really needs to be addressed as I found out the hard way while showing my buddies a funny soccer video at the bar. I was ashamed of my phone

+1. This trolling is getting quite annoying.
Me lady has one, I'm messing around with it daily. Still considering one myself, so eat those apples.
Not my fault if your feelings get hurt so easily. Troll that.
lol here we go the haters again...it was a simple question...the phone is awesome...i can live without it no probs..i thought i may be missing a setting somewhere...
Wow, I figured this was just something at&t did to artificially throttle data usage, but I see that others are getting this, too. Looking forward to when someone nips this little nuisance. There are already easy workarounds to enable HSUPA and to get the phone to prefer 3G instead of kicking down to EDGE just by using the diagnosis code menu, which have made my new toy much more enjoyable. It'll be nice when I can blast out YouTube content on my pretty samoled.
Not YouTube, but some good news

This might just be a youtube thing.
I have a couple of apps that stream movie trailers and video podcasts and the the video quality range from acceptable to stunning.
Im just wondering what kind of things do you guys do to your phones. Roms apps themes etc. Im running cm9 and want to try to find new ideas and apps to make my phone cooler and less boring. thanks in advance guys
My E4GT is pretty much information central. I do all the normal things, text, phone, data but no gaming and rarely watch movies (unless I'm trying to drain a battery lol). However my phone holds all the important information in my life, family events, bill due dates/amounts, appointments, To Do lists, Shopping Lists, car maintenance repair reminders, lists of things I want to read, research or sell, pictures of the people and animals in my life, work and personal email.
I try not to be so paperless but honestly I'd be lost without my phone.
I'd say I just found a new look that I love, I found a cm9 sense theme that looks great on this phone! Any other fun addicting games like temple run?
I use mine for several things daily. Dropbox for reading class notes for college and making transferring new modems, etc a little easier. Shopping, paying bills, calendar stuff. I use the Square app + card reader so I can accept credit cards from customers of my (very) small computer repair business. I plug my phone into my car's stereo and stream pandora when I'm driving;Google Music if I want to listen to my own stuff. I use ventrilo on my phone for some pc games that I play instead of installing an extra program on my pc. I listen to car talk every Saturday via the npr news app. Kroger app for loading coupons onto my kroger card before grocery shopping. I often stream hulu plus or netflix on my television via hdmi adapter. Weather, general news, email, xda (goes without saying), video chatting with friends /family via Skype, gps navigation...... Think that's about it for now.

Lol.. I hear ya, I gave my Evo to my 2 yr old..
Bobby O's Epic Touch..
Been out searching for a way to watch TV on my device in some shape or form.
Checked the play store, Google, applanet, and Aptoide.
I can't find a reliable place.
Have anyone found anything reliable??? Got movies going for me for free on android but I don't spend much time on movies.
Hi,
Maybe SPB TV:http://spbtv.com/android-software/tv/
But not updated for a long time,I tested it on my HTC Sensation (without ICS) and it worked well.
But now on Gnex and ICS I don't know...Maybe you can give a try...
Weird. They show a GNEX advertising their app on their site. Yet I can't find it on the store.
Any reason for this. Seen this app on my iPod.
Edit1: Now I know why ppl bashed at this in iTunes. =p
Doesn't have Any of the American channels. This is like every other app I've seen.
Thanks though.
Veetle is a good one(playstore). It's only streaming of what the authors choose to host. You can pick from movies, sports, shows. Similar to justin.tv if you are familiar with the format. The down side is again it's streaming and you have to watch what they put up and when.
If you have Xfinity or Comcast there you can watch their on demand with their player. "xfinity player"
For US sadly there is not many streamed live TV channels.
Warner got something going. Got a cousin's ex who told me how they did it is weird and is a mystery and is can't be understood really. He does AT&T cable stuff.
Before I dive into this veetle app, Are there any channels a 16 year old would watch lol.
Cuz I'm 16 and really aim for the larger networks. =p
Okay heres the issue I'm having with this tablet...I went to try it at a store as I wanted to check the beautiful screen and just the general unit. So to test the screen I decided to play the following video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKXcQ9PLuc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The internet connection was perfect....anyways the video was stuttery and tbh I was a little dissapointed since its buttery smooth on my S3.
I would appreciate for you guys to test it on your Note's and let me know how the video plays. Its important that it doesnt have youtube or really HQ playback problems since I'm planning on purchasing it from America so returning it for a refund wont be an option for me (I'm in UK)
The tablet as a whole is truely an amazing piece of kit and I really wish I have been an idiot and missed something. I'm going to try and visit a different shop tomorrow so hopefully it was just because the unit has been abused by customers or something.
P.S. I dont mind this thread getting hijacked for other youtube problems/questions on the Note 10.1 2014.

Mine plays it smooth mate. Very slight jerkiness with the star movements but I think that's just due to the time lapse? You have to look hard to notice it. Want to try linking to another video that isn't time lapse?

Thanks for checking mate :good:
Yeah I notice it then mainly too but tbh I noticed it different parts of the video again and again without trying to concentrate on it.
Why would time lapse matter? Plus that whole video is a timelapse so it should wither be all stuttery or play just fine really. I'm not an expert at this stuff as you can probs tell LOL just curious to why this tablet with the best screen on the market stutters with that video.
Try this one mate...

No probs.
I'm connected with my phone now but will try the 2nd one on my wifi when i get home.
I watched both videos on my PC which has an i7 processor, 32GB RAM and Nvidia 4GB graphics card. It was connected to fibre optic 40MB BT Infinity and I saw the same slight stutter as I saw on the tablet. So I'd say it's the video rather than what we're watching it on...

mmmm but works fine on my Galaxy S3 which is odd.
Anyways I got myself to another Currys today and tried out the Note's videos capabilitues for 20Mins. Man I love it....the youtube clip was much much better and I tried a different 4K video and that was absolutely flawless, So i guess the note just doesnt like the first video HAHA.
Anyways thanks for helping out mate - Now hopefully my mate gets an opportunity to buy me one from the US....Cannet wait to get one and watch a movie on that bad boy.

Not sure if this was already mentioned but the first link you posted actually links to a 3D version of the video. That might be why it played back funny on the note. Also, if you go through the youtube app you don't get the option to play the 3D version. Only if you play it through the web.
I'm facing serious stuttering on mine too! Only happens in YouTube app. YouTube videos played in browser works fine

That is very strange. I would say you may have a bad device. Ask fir a replacement.
Okay I have a wierd issue on my Note when I play videos on youtube. Basically when watching a video in full screen mode and I change the orientation of the note the screen goes dim with a small box appears in the middle of the screen with appears to be signal bars at the bottom left of it.
Anyone experience this...I will take a screenshot when I finish work so yous can see what I mean but thought maybe in the mean time someone is/has experienced this before.
P.S I have no issues with signal or video quality during normal playback.
I just tried playing it back in the YouTube app and it stuttered very badly. I played it earlier on my son's iPad air and it played flawlessly. This is my 2nd note 2014 1st one had major screen issues.
Up until all of this Knox bs I've loved my Samsung devices, know it seems that it may be time to try something else. Fortunately I've got until Jan 15th to decide if I want to keep it or not.

What video is stuttering? The one I posted on this thread on the first post?
See the weird thing is when I tried to play that video in some shops it failed miserably (before I had the Note 2014) yet now that I play it on my Note it plays flawlessly it's truly weird. I hope you figure out what the problem is.

Basically every video I tried to pay on YouTube, even tried playing non hq videos and they stuttered as well. I did a factory reset and it seems to be better but still a few issues with playback.

Aye there must be something wrong with your Note then, I would deffo get it exchanged again or go to a different store since you probably got a Note from the same batch the last time you returned it.
Hi all,
My wife loves watching youtube videos on 1.75-2x speed. We noticed that the sound specially on music played in the video is very distorted/muffled/sounds like youre underwater. This doesn't happen on the iPhone 7 Plus we switched from. I searched all over and couldn't find anything on this other than an old article regarding Android 5.0 where you can disable something called "nuplayer" in developer settings but I don't see this option.
This has been confirmed to happen on both of our Note 10 Plus' on Android 9.
Any help trying to figure this out will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you!
Another interesting find is that this also happens on PC! What the heck did Apple do different?! This sucks big time.
I guess case closed. This is a "normal" occurrence.
I think it's the video as I just done it and it sounded ok to me so must be the video and how the sound is coded

Yeah, I'm not too sure! My wife sent me a couple links to test and they both had the same issue. She complains that most videos she watches has that issue. Anything from music to background noises on planes and such (she watches a lot of traveling/food vlogs). I'll PM you a link for the video I'm talking about as I'm not allowed to post links yet.
When the music kicks in, it sounds distorted. This doesn't happen on the iPhone. I really don't understand what would cause this.
Ok I'll have a listen to it now and report back to you

I guess another thing is that it may sound normal to people who are used to it. But if you have an Apple device to test and compare it to, you'd be able to tell the difference right away. When I first heard it, I thought she was crazy until she showed me the difference on our old iPhones. Then it left me wondering why it would do this. Some more articles I stumbled upon mentioned CPU processing power when setting it to a faster playback but I can't imagine the Note 10 Plus being inferior to the iphone 7 plus in processing power.
I couldn't find video or got inbox also dont have an iphone lol
