Is this app even pushing 720p?? It looks more like the HQ you get on 3G instead of the HD on WiFi.
I have the WiFi only N7.

To be honest I don't think the youtube app has ever pushed proper 720p let alone 1080p when the HD option was checked.
If you want, you can use a modded version of the old youtube app that allows you to select 720p/1080p and has other tweaks such as screen off playback and the ability to download the videos.
Search google for "youtube modded apk" and it should be the first link from XDA. (I can't post links yet)
As far as I know the only functionality you lose is the floating window thing but personally I don't really see the use in that myself.
Check this video out! I thought it looked great!

Not just the playback but the whole app are so blown up, you can only see 2 huge thumbnails at a time
The new Youtube app messes up the video quality. You can fix it by downgrading (uninstall updates in app info).

Just want to start off by saying that this phone is amazing besides the LOS. Well back on topic.
I have the updated version of youtube that was provided here on the forum. I downloaded it and installed. Ever since i installed it i noticed that i can play a YouTube video and turn off the screen and the video will continue playing. Now i can listen to some music that have remixes but are not available to download using the app.
What is yall's opinion on that. Good or bad?
Sidenote: i use wifi

I believe this is a feature because I was recording a video yesterday and when I did a playback the sound was still going while the screen was black.... Maybe its just to save backlight battery life
I would say its a bug. Sometimes when I am watching a flash video on the web browser and I exit the browser (and I mean even kill the browser in the task manager) the video audio will play until the end of the video. I think they've got bigger fish to fry with this LOS, but after that's solved, I intend to bring this one up.
Woah!!! just watch a nice HD crystal clear quality vid on youtube on this beautiful screen... my question is... is there a way to watch a high quality vid like that over 3G? i did set the option in youtube to high quality but its not the same as wifi?
thanks
I too would like to see HD over 3G, but I doubt you can hack YouTube app so easily. I can imagine they are trying to protect the user experience as most of the time on 3G the HD videos take ages to buffer and have to rebuffer part of the way through. I wifi hotspot to my Transformer and it CAN play HD in its YouTube app. Even though its my phones 3g connection.
Hmm... maybe the Honeycomb YouTube app can run on ICS? Need to root this!
you could try tubemate, if it works, and download the video first at the quality you want and then watch it.
Sorry if this is considered "thread hijacking", but this got me curious. Does ICS have a special version of the youtube app that allows actual HD steaming? Or is it the same type of "HQ" steaming found in the pre-ICS app?

Hey guys,
So I have a Galaxy Nexus running stock 4.0.2. I love watching videos on it, however my problem is that where I live, the fastest internet I can get is 1.5mbps. Therefore watching youtube videos at anything higher than 480p just simply isn't possible without letting it sit paused for a while to buffer.
When using the Youtube app on the Galaxy Nexus, a video in "HD" just can't load fast enough for me to watch. It seems as though the video might be loading at 720p, therefore with my internet it keeps stopping. And without HD enabled, the video quality is so horrendous it just isn't watchable.
So my question, is there any way to edit a file that will force the Youtube app to use 360p or 480p with the HD option? The app itself does not have any setting to specifically pick which quality.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I only know of the "use high quality" option in settings. It allows you to pick to only stream HD quality videos. Maybe you could turn that off on your phone if it is on. If not I have not heard of anything like what you are looking for. It would be good to have a feature like that though.
Yea I know of that setting but its not what I am looking for. I just need a way to be able to pick a specific quality or for "HD" to default to 480p.
Does anyone know how this could be done?
Update. After research seems I got it confused with another app
There's a 3rd party youtube app which might help I think it called freetube or something not sure what settings it has

I couldn't find any Youtube app that lets me specify a certain quality.
Is there any way to get the Youtube app to specifically stream in 360p?
Anyone got an idea?
Does anyone know how to force inline YouTube videos in the stock browser to open in the YouTube app instead of flash?
I hate the full screen flash view of YouTube. Everything is tiny and a little laggy.
If the YouTube video has a YouTube icon on the lower right of the video (some don't), then you can click on that and it will take you to the YouTube app.

thanks but I tried a bunch of webpages and none have that youtube icon. I've seen it before so I now what you are talking about.

It's surprising to me that using the stock browser to watch a google-owned youtube video in full screen results in such a disaster: it's virtually impossible to tap the button you want.
Try going to apps>browser>clear defaults then navigate to a video
in the browser. Does it let you choose a default for videos then? Only guess I have...

I still get that menu when I click on a youtube link. The problem is with the inline players that show up with flash.
No solution to this?
I have my new GS3 and i want to download and save youtube videos any apps that can you recommend to me.

Follow-up Question: Download Resolution
As a follow-up question on Tubemate:
I've been using Tubemate for about 5 months now and absolutely love it. One thing I've noticed, though, is that sometimes when I download a video at full resolution, it doesn't play very well in any video player I have tried (stock TW Video Player, MXPlayer, VLC). The video will play for a certain length (sometimes 1/2 the video, sometimes 3/4 of it) and the video will freeze (sound continues) and then the video will restart from the beginning. If I skip ahead of the "freeze point" the video continues fine.
I know that Tubemate downloads the files in sections and stitches it together (think of old-school r.00 and r.01 files), so it sounds like the problem is that the particular section the "freeze point" is in was corrupt. If I download the video in a different format (or redownload it at the original resolution) it sometimes works better.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with Tubemate downloads.

I've had this issue before.. It happens. Sometimes I go to the download folder and make sure its really at a 100%. But I figure its the video codecs on the phone.. sometimes they just hitch a part and its all downhill from there. But tubemate is by far the best. not only do you not have to deal with ads, it gives you options to select which video size you want which is always a plus

I believe its because our phones are 1280x720 and if you download at 1920x1080 then your phone can't play it cause it can't handle it. Its the same for me. As for everyone else.
