I'm using 4.3 stock rom and rooted. When I play a flash video while using dolphin browser the video plays in high quality perfect video when on wifi but when I watch the same video with wifi off it plays at a lower quality blotchy video. I have 4g LTE and when I run a speed test its over 20mbps down and 6mbps up. Its like it defaults to lower quality when im not on wifi but my 4g LTE is faster than my wifi

I also noticed when I watch a youtube video (with the youtube app) if I watch it in HD it stops and goes but if I watch it with wifi on its smooth. Same thing goes with the NHL Gamecenter app. The games are only watchable in the lower resolution with 4g LTE but with wifi its ok. So it seems like its not a flash problem, something else....

I've recently noticed that youtube videos only work for me when using 3G. Apparently stock youtube app uses normal quality on 3g and high quality videos on wifi by default. Unfortunately our devices can only play normal quality video, so is there any workaround to force normal quality video while using wifi?
Why does this thing blow at playing videos? YouTube and similar. Is there a setting that needs changed/enabled? On wifi or mobile network it still hiccups!
Hiccups cos of buffering...or hiccups cos the phone is lagging? Very vague details.. Also, your thread title is misleading. This has nothing to do with video quality and everything to do with playback quality..

Changed title for you... Happy now?
Be it buffering or lagging, my GT i9100 played videos with no interruption 9 outta 10 times. This thing on the other hand is, well, horrible at it. I thought the nexus lagged a bit but not as much as this phone. A little disappointed with it actually... Anyway back to the point, any tricks to get it to play better? Downloaded mx player but same thing.
Hmm, you are only having problems with video from the net and not from videos on your phone?

Just from the net
if my bandwidth is open i have no problems. the youtube app has a button setting for hd and sometimes it really isnt hd. if your router is correct, high speed internet isnt clogged, and hd is on then it should he smooth and good. something isnt right so maybe your phone or custom rom is problem.

Works fine for me, no lag, can even play 720p mkvs without lag wirelessly over my local network.

It is a T-mobile handset with the Snapdragon 600
Juddery ? I'm assuming you mean jittery or stuttering.

i had some lag with 720P and had to reboot the phone it worked good fore a few mins then did it again. i havent tried 1080p but i assume it would do the same since its even more higher def.
ZERO stuttering or pausing on the current CyanogenMod 10.1 build. Just tested it with YouTube.
Can not comment on stock software as I never tried it.
I have been having this problem on a few video playback apps. While watching a video the video freezes but the sound continues to play. fast forwarding gets it going again but happens again soon after. its mainly on apps thay stream videk. tested on both lte and wifi

No problems here. I also have flash player archived version installed for playing online video through the web browser: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk.
Do you have GPU 2D Rendering Checked in Developer Options? If so, uncheck that because it causes video choppiness. Other than that, not sure what to tell you except factory reset your device.
Every time I watch a video on YouTube the video plays in 144p quality. I have to manually select which quality I want which is usually 720p each time and for every video I watch. Auto does nothing but play in 144p. Mobile data or Wifi same thing.
This is a problem I'm just noticing. In the past it would always play in 720p if I selected that and that quality would stick. Maybe it's the YouTube app?
Anyone have any idea what's causing this and what I can do if anything? Thanks

Youtube selects the resolution based on connection speed.
I have 50+ dl speed on my WiFi. It still starts the video at 144p. If I select 1080p or 1440p quality the video plays just fine...No buffering or anything. The thing is I don't like having to select the quality for every video I watch cause sometimes I watch alot of different videos

My youtube app plays fine (720p), even on 3G. Strange. Uninstall and install it again.
