Currently I'm rooted, running the stock rom, and have the latest version of YouTube installed 4.1.23. I've had this problem before rooting as well. When I set my wifi to a static ip, the internet continues to work great but I cannot watch YouTube videos. YouTube works on 3g with or without a static ip, wifi only works with dhcp selected.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem as well? Maybe a different rom will fix this issue? Let me know what you guys think.

My first question is, have you had the opportunity to test static IP functionality on a different network /router? It would help to know if the problem is specific to your router.
Second, are you running iptables actively, or was this just a corollary problem you discovered in the process of diagnosing the streaming video problem? If you are using iptables, can you please put it on a pastebin and provide the link so I can look at it?
I suspect the problem has to do with the way Android handles static IP assignment. Let me know about those questions I asked, and I'll try and replicate the problem on my end. It will be much easier to diagnose and fix the problem if I can trigger it on my own device.

I updated to MA7 using Billard412's ROM and the issue seems to be resolved.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
I am able to watch YouTube, with static ip even before MA7.
The only problem is it buffers a lot. Even on a 75mbit down connection.
I was wrong. The issue is still there and with MA7 I can say for sure it is related to static ip. If I set static ip on my router, regardless of the setting on the phone video playback fails for network streams, this is the only affected service (as far as I can tell).

I've run into some quirky behavior with the wifi in the note 2, which i have not seen in a galaxy s3 on the same network - but used to, until some OTA upgrade fixed it.

Thanks!!!! First time I could watch YouTube on my Note 2 (stock, rooted, with static IP address) since I got it. I don't know that setting my phone for DHCP works, either, I don't ever recall it working, but I didn't leave it at DHCP for long - since it appeared to dork wireless access for other devices in my house.

I just unlocked my T-Mo GS2 and it's working great so far. Only thing I miss from my HTC Desire was that Mobile Data used to automatically switch off whenever I'm connected to wifi networks.
This doesn't seem to be the case here. Data indicator stays on even though I'm connected to my home wifi.
Is there a setting option that I'm missing somewhere?
I notice this as well. Its sporadic though. Data does sometimes drop off but not always.

Yes, yes! I thought it was my router or something. Sometimes the device will try and use mobile data even if I have a very weak cell signal and a very strong wifi signal. It usually works right after connecting to wifi, but after being connect for a long period of time, it seems to try and switch back to mobile data despite my wifi sleep policy being set to 'Never'.

This issue has already been posted somewhere.... I think in the battery thread. The fix was to get the Llama app and set up a profile to switch wifi off when no wifi available, and to switch 4G off when connected via wifi.
Wifi Fixer app in Market seems to be working nicely so far too.

The system is going to turn on your data when it needs to check info or upload/download data that verifies your device or is of a sensitive nature to the system, such as purchase authorizations in the market. When our data connection is popping up while connected to wifi and you're not doing anything (like making a market purchase), there could be undesirable transmission of data going on. Not to say it's definitely malicious in nature, however like I said I do see data transmissions taking place for no apparent reason. Could be some app or widget I use has an auto update that does something to activate it, but as long as the app keeps transmission and activity levels minimal, it's unlikely to pop up on a security app that alerts based on excessive data usage.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
OK, good to know that I'm not alone in this.
It seems that data isn't being used much while connected to wifi. About of 1mb of traffic through all the time that I was connected to wifi. That was a few hours of usage last evening, and then the whole night on idle.
The question is how is this affecting battery life when it just sits there doing nothing.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Mine has been doing that too, I figured out it was an app making it happen. For me it was the app "beat the traffic" because as soon as I uninstalled it, mobile data went away while on wifi.

Same problem, same cause - except mine was a background thread for "Media Hub", which of course is one of those DRM crazy apps that will not work over WiFi. Ran it to just check it out, but nothing worth seeing there so that won't happen again.
When both were running, it seemed each app choose its own path for connectivity, probably related to how the app was coded. For example streaming from web via Flash used WiFi, but most other apps used 4G.
Edit: Add T-Mobile's "My Account" application as one that causes this to happen.
This seems like a side effect of a tremendous amount of bloatware on this phone. Some of those magenta apps only work on the mobile network. Sometimes you will notice that wifi only will show and then all of a sudden you see both the 4g and wifi on at the same time. Hopefully root will take care of the problem.
If it was programmed correctly it would not allow those background apps to update on the 4g network but it seems the coding leaves it open to start up even when on wifi. This is an assumption but from my tests, it seems that's what's causing it.
same issue here
if you guys believe this is a bug, please report it directly to samsung using the form in stickied in the forum

I reported as a bug prior to discovering its not really a bug. If you go into task manager and open the ram tab and kill all it goes away. I havent had this issue for 3 days now. Its gotta be one of the tmobile apps causing it.

What are you killing when you go to the ram tab?
So this is something i have tested working myself. I DO NOT recommend this for everyone simply because you can severely mess up your phone and it's wireless connections.
In a nut shell what this allows you to do is utilize your phones built in 3g mobile hot spot and tethering application without paying the extra $20 a month. The legality of this is questionable so use it at your own risk.
What you need:
Samsung drivers(you can find these)
QPST software download it here
1. Install the samsung driver for our phone, as well as the QPST software
2. Place your phone in modem mode(settings, wireless, enable dial up)
3. Plug in your phone and allow all drivers and everything to install.
4. Load up QPST configuration
5. Navigate to the tab that says ports and select "Add New Port"(if all is well you should have one that says something about usb, or anything about your phone)
6. Once the device is added go to the top menu bar, select "Start Clients" and then "Service Programming"
7. Next select "OK" to the device in the box.
Now for the tricky things where you MUST be careful!
8. at the bottom of this box select "Read from Phone"
9. If the password in the box is not "000000"(six zeros) type it in and click OK.
10. You now want to tab over on the top until you see the tab that says "M. IP" select this.
11. Select Profile 0(it will be the very first one on the top) and select "Edit..."
12. You now should Have two input boxes the first one labled "NAI" and the second "Tethered NAI"
13. Under "Tethered NAI" it should say something similar to "[email protected]" (the X's refer to your personal number)
14. You need to edit this so that it no longer has "dun" in it,
"[email protected]"
15. You should now have NAI and Tethered NAI as the same thing. Now click OK and finally "Write to phone"(located in the bottom left). Your phone will reboot its self.
16. Upon first boot you need to go back into settings, wireless, and disable dial up networking. (first time i did this i got a force close with gapps, but did not cause any issues)
If you followed this exactly, you should now have 3g mobile hotspot
I must warn you however, if you reprogram your phone via *228 this will go away! so it will have to be performed again.
Enjoy!
Is this continuum specific? I've guy a buddy with a Samsung showcase that is very interested.
it should be able to work on most phones. I modified this from a samsung fascinate guide and wrote more detailed instructions, however it should work for most android devices.
ah not to rain on your parade but wouldnt it be easier to just use googles wireles tether 3.0 above and select samsung facinate softap mode pretty much anything will pick that up.
Perhaps it would be easier, but it adds extra bloat and just isn't as good as using the original..
Imagine, you want to tether via wireless or wired.. well you simply go into your drawer and select 3g mobile hotspot... So much easier than downloading an app that you are either limited to non secure sights via a wired connection(pda net) or you have to use a tethering app that may or may not work properly, supports only an adhoc connection, has connectivity issues or is just a PITA to setup...
So why not use the app that is already in your app drawer that you can't get away.
Give it time and i'll have a patch for exactly this where you won't even need to perform these steps...
Oh, did i mention i can alter the amount of devices you can have connected at once via 3g wireless hotspot, and my speeds over 3g with my rom are coming in between 0.5MB-3MB per second (as of the tests i've done as of now. I just pulled 1.71mb/sec upload sucks, but i'm not uploading things using it. lol)

The beauty of this modification is that the regular 3g uses the connection of [email protected]... When you connect up the 3g wireless hotspot it sets the connection to [email protected].. This is how they know you have tethering because verizon sets this connection as active. SOOO what this is actually doing is setting the tethering app to utulize the normal 3g connection. SOOO it looks as if you are simply using the normal 3g connection..
Another way to do this is to run the 3g hotspot and have a widget to turn on and off 3g. When you toggle the connection it sets the connection back to the normal 3g even though you have open 3ghotspot Thus allowing tethering.
I am testing this now and i just performed option 2 after *228 and it did not break tethering. In fact i am on it now. Time for option 1 test
The new wireless tether allows regular connections, not just ADHOC

Theres a workaround, set a static ip on your mobile.
Go to wifi settings- menu button - advanced
Enable static ip
Then you have to go on your pc and go to start - run - cmd
Type ipconfig/all and take all those settings except ip adress
Ip adress should be as far away as your computer, for example if your pc has 192.168.0.22 then you should use something like 192.168.0.200 , so its out of the dhcp range

Mine does that too, not just my phone but my Wireless hotspot too, (a AT&T Unite) I can keep the connection up by doing a "ping www.google.com -t" in the command line.
Yes, this will kill your battery, consider using bluetooth or USB tether.
Furthermore AT&Ts DNS servers suck use these
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Just put them in to your DNS settings in Windows.
This isn't an issue with your devices, its a AT&T issue from the looks of it. (I called AT&T and they tell me that the local tower is having issues so unless I continuously ping google I can't tether or use my hotspot for more than 20 minutes without getting DNS errors, Does it with any ROM I try, even my PlayStation Vita does it)
Sorry but my note 2 is bell variant and i'm on bell network in Canada. The only reason I'm using this forum is because AT&T has the same model unlike the other verizon and such.
So any other idea???
i also tried to set the hotspot auto turn off to always on and it seems to help a little. however every now and then i still get disconnection.

Did anything change when you continuously pinged Google?
I keep refreshing the page, enter new common websites such as MSN or yahoo and they all show nothing except DNS failed look up. I changed the bell apn to some tether apn bell offered but that didn't work. So now I reset the apn to have it look up the settings itself. Still having the issue..

Disable your app and use ES File Explorer to hotspot. This can help to see if it is wifi app specific issue, or a common (phone setting, DNS...) problem.

I'm getting constant buffering when watching YouTube when I'm on T-Mobile cellular network 4G/LTE. This occurs not just at a single location, but everywhere.
There's no buffering, however, when turn on wifi and connect to a hotspot.
Anyone else having this issue as well? Any fix?
Other video app, Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, etc. work just fine. No buffering.
Also, I have unlimited data. There's no throttling.
Update 1:
F*cking T-Mobile! YouTube found evidence that the videos were being throttled, whether the customers have the Bing On feature turned on or not.

I have this exact same issue. I would love to know a fix for this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think YouTube is part of Bing On.

I experience the same while on 4G/LTE and while this is happening if I log out of my YouTube account it magically stops buffering and starts up no problem.
After viewing several videos with no lag or buffering while still on LTE if I log into my account it goes right back to buffering and
It won't load or start, it tells me to check my connection.
Any input will be appreciated.

Anybody out there?

When binge on is turned on, it lowers the stream for ALL video down to 480p. When a site joins binge on, it just means they don't count against your data. If you've turned binge on off and still have problems, I'd call customer care.
I tried logging out of my account, it still buffered everyone 10-5 seconds.

Your issue could be the strength / quality of your lte/4G in your area.
I'm in the city so I'm swamped with 4G/LTE while I'm outside but when indoors it loses its edge so I'll have wifi on and can log back into YouTube no problem. I have clocked faster speeds at times on 4G than my broadband Internet but still can't open youtube app while logged in, always have to log out.

Have you checked how many gigs of data you have used this month? Unlimited data gives you only 23gb lte before getting de-prioritized, meaning you'll get this kinda buffering issue. I recently experienced this problem with YouTube and other video apps that's not part of binge on.

Go into your applications manager and reset all the app preferences under "more" on the upper right corner. You'll have to disable the apps you don't want again. This solution has helped me with log in issues with YouTube and other google services. GL.
