Is YouTube Pixilated for everyone using the app or only those running custom ROMs like CM11? The only work around for me was using the previous version (4.x) of the YouTube app. But then you miss out on the new UI and floating Window.

youtube's app doesnt support hd playback. The HQ option is 480p actually and not HD. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579795

That method, viral, and the old YouTube app produce the same video quality in HD mode. It's the new YouTube app that shows horrible quality on the G Pad in HD. Its weird because on my phones the new app has always shown HD in actual HD.

Anyone having issues getting YouTube go be full resolution after the latest update? Check out how the lines of the M are all wavy! What gives?!
Touch the video. In the lower right corner of the video screen is an expansion icon. Press it to expand to the full Nexus 7 screen.

I believe the new YouTube app is only using 720 rather than 1080.

That's probably it. I'm using the old YouTube app with a mod that allows you to choose the quality settings. And it's much better than the new YouTube in terms of playback quality. I hope Google addresses this. Or hopefully someone will mod the new YouTube app to allow us to set the quality.

I hope so too, this is unacceptable. Especially right after the release of their flagship tablet with the highest pixel density.... I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this...
I didn't back up the old version and I can't restore... Any chance you would post the apk for an older version?
Or link to that mod?
Edit: found it

[MOD] YouTube 4.4.11 (v5b), *1080p* / 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback
Noticed that the YouTube app only plays in HD mode if you are on either WIFI or LTE. (Note 2) Anyway to make that app think that I'm on LTE on the S3?
You could always just go to general settings in the YouTube app and click high quality on mobile

Yup. But it ain't HD. It's a bit painful to watch when your used to HD. I know T-Mobile non LTE speeds are fast enough.
Since Youtube auto-adjusts to the available speed, I doubt there's any way to switch to HD. You can use the Browser based Youtube or tweak your Data Speeds based on Doc Holiday's Tweaks in the S3 Modem Thread.
You can try using this app, you can stream HD videos even if you are on edge. and it has other functions too

I use adfree for Android and I don't get ads on the YouTube app. And there should be a setting inside the app to play only sd.

I´m quite mad at Google because of still not having activated the option of using a 1080p resolution in Youtube. I mean, come on, I bought both recent flagship devices which can handle 1080p video playback without any problems ( Nexus 5 & Nexus 7 2013 ).
I wanted to buy the latest Viral Pro App but for whatever reasons, the developer also decided to stick to max. 720p. What is wrong with this world ? Is there a better app available in order to watch Full HD material on these devices ?

I could understand it not being there if your screen isn't 1920x1080. But if you have a FHD screen than it should show up. Assuming the video allows it.

This will block youtube ads and other ads (app, website) but will not provide any additional youtube options.
Hello, I have a note 2 n7100. I used to have 4.1.2. Flashed 4.3. Everything went well. One thing that's bothering me is the youtube app video quality is low even when I choose HQ. It gets better but it's pixilated. On 4.1.2 it was basically hd. Has anyone else experience the same problem? I can't figure out what it is. The rom?. Or a setting somewhere? Could a custom kernel effect it somehow? Any tips or advice appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Are you on 3G? Because usually the app switches to HQ rather than HD only on 3G.
Also there is an app called Viral .. It let's you choose whatever quality you want, its kinda good, you may want to try it
Thanks, i guess i had a modded youtube app before where it would automatically play hd in 3g. Noe it only has hd option on wifi only. The only solution i foind is the OG youtube downloader. Where you can choose what quality you want when on 3g. But it doesnt have an auto option to go to highest quality when on 3g. Ill check out that viral app. Thanks.

Actually most of the roms have youtube apk as system app and those apks are a little modified for better performance!
If u have system youtube apk then you can remove it by using root uninstaller from play store(needs root).
And reinstall youtube from play store!

The new version of youtube app has just been released providing the option to custom choose the resolution of the video. However, the only options for our phone are 140p 240p 360p. Is anybody aware of a way to enable hd video to our measly but reliable phone?
Thus far AFAIK, the only way to watch YouTube videos in HD is via third party apps such as Viral Popup Player and OGYouTube.

Get Xposed and download "app settings" then open it and scroll down to YouTube and change the DPI to 200 and change the DP to 800×1280 I'm sure it will work. Hope I helped
