It's such an awesome update, but it causes this weird lag problem on my phone that pretty much freezes it. Having to do a battery pull after every 1 or 2 videos isn't fun

I *knew* I wasn't alone on this!! Same thing happens to me! It's so goddamn annoying I went as far as uninstalling the update. It's worthless if it freezes badly like it does!

I read through nearly all of the comments and of those mentioning they had a G2 all but 2 or 3 said they were having this problem. I'm gonna wait for them to fix it for the G2.

Same here.

The new youtube app isn't the only one that was updated. Most of the gapps also have new versions on the market. For example, the shopper app or the street view app had new versions on the market that I wasn't aware of until I searched pub:"Google Inc." You guys should probably download those as well.

Yeah probably, but the apps weren't linked to the market so I had no idea that some of the other apps were updated too. For example, maps always updates itself so I assumed the rest of the gapps would do the same.

Try avoiding the use of the "back" button while you're in the YouTube app. It hasn't crashed for me since I stopped. I'm sure an update will come pretty soon. This is an entirely new version of the app, it may take awhile to get all the bugs worked out. Looks promising, though. I like the UI.

Yea I had the same issue! So I uninstalled the youtube app then downloaded a older version I found here. The current version on the Market seems to be broken! Works great now. Here is the link!

No but the new YouTube update broke my voice actions. When I try and use it this windows pops up and tells me to sign in. I have to re-click it again for it to work. Damn Google framework interfering. Anyone else have this problem?

I was upset because all of my subs were missing and no matter what I tried nothing would show. Checked the Market and pretty much everyone who had either updated or just installed was rating the app 1 star with the same problem. So definitely has to do with their latest update.
I'm running this older version and its working like a charm. Also if you have your apps set to automatically update, you should go in there and check that off so that you don't accidentally run an update that might cause this type of problem in the future.
I've done it in the past where I will allow automatic updating on all apps, and paid the price when an update just seems to be bad. So double check that in your app settings from the market.

I just use the browser and maximize.

i kinda figured another alternative, which is to just click share button on the video then scrapbook. thanks anyways!
EDIT:
Well i finally figured it out. Its because of the new Youtube app update. Just uninstall the update from the application settings and it'll work. Though you won't be able to minimize videos while using the app

Does the US version come with Function command, so that you can input fractions and mathematical symbols? I cannot see it on my N900T.

No video sharing on Group Play 4.3 updated?

So I updated my mother's Note 2 with 4.3. The phone is stock and everything, my problem is and made real angry is that I wanted to show off some of the new feature that it has. So went to group play app to do the video sharing, but when I see, there isn't any video sharing to my surprise!!! What happen? I saw all those demo showing off the video sharing option with a Note 3 and a Note 2!

I was testing that out (half heartedly) with my girls GN3 and my newly OTA'd GN2 and couldn't get them to detect with the scan... just off work so I'll try a few more things and see if I can get anywhere
Edit:
So far no dice... double checked device status and Knox counter... everything is good. I did turn on my phone afterwards and noticed several app updates (most were for newer 4.3 apps) but not for group play or Samsung link...
As of right now I wasn't able to get my girls GN3 and my GN2 to recognize each other through any of the apps when referring to videos... (we also have a Samsung TV but no dongle yet)... was able to get music to play on both devices though...
Some things that I've noticed:
1. Her group play app is about half the size of mine (even though she has the GN3 and I'm on the GN2)
2. Her Group Play app is actually an older version than mine
3. Her Group Play app has an option of video sharing where mine doesnt... I only have music/documents/etc... but no video tab to share
Really the whole thing makes no sense lol... but ill continue looking around for answers... pretty stumped at this point as, like I said, they sync for music, just not videos
Something tells me the solution could be as simple as a setting, as boring as waiting for the app to update, or as complex as requiring a dev to manipulate resolution errors/compatibility issues etc and creating a work around... really no idea at this point

This apk doesnt run as such and wont appear in your app drawer. It seems to act as more of a plugin for group play.
Seems silly to me to. I dont see why it cant be part of the app.

Did you bother to try this in the end?
If you dont trust my file you can always download a stock N3 firmware and rip the apk from that yourself

As far as i can tell it does not effect the streaming to tv function as this worked for me both with and without the share video apk.

Hi, do you guys have any idea about this? I'm trying to make the bluetooth shortcut to work but it says this app is not installed. I didn't have this problem on 4.1.2 version.now I'm on 4.3 not rooted. Thank you.

Okay after playing around and trying to figure out how to do this I find out how. You need a smart TV that's connected to your home network. That can recognize media files from your phone. Like a media server. I have a Sony TV so I went to settings turned on near by devices and allowed my TV to look in my phone. Then go to wherever on your TV to find the media connection and browse from your TV.

YouTube 1440p gone?

So few weeks back or whatever I remember when YouTube updated and with the G3 we could watch some videos in 1440p. Than they updated the app to 10.whatever and took that option away from us, though still available on pc.
Well you were able to roll back to before they took it away to version 5.9 and get 1440p viewing back.
Well, that worked for me and could watch them perfectly fine, and they looked stunning!
Well. I just went in YouTube tonight to show a buddy of mine, and every single video was max 720p. Even the designated videos for 1440p that I watched many times were maxed 720p. I'm still on version 5.9, so nothing changed there
Did Google do something behind closed doors? The option still there for pc.
So any ideas, or if anyone else can check and see if they are maxed at 720p. Can you post here?
Thanks everyone! Hope someone has an idea howto fix! The 1440p on the G3 was absolutely stunning on this screen.

Seems that Google is being stingier worth bandwidth all of a sudden. Well, I had reverted to the earlier version with 1440p but just decided eff it and now have it updated for whatever might be next.

Here you go this should give you back 1440p.

What does it do when you try?
I know before when I had the option it seemed like I couldn't select it but that was only because my network speed wasn't fast enough. As soon as I got in the sweet spot in my house for the fast lte it switched to 1440p. So maybe that's what you're experiencing?
I was getting mad when it wouldn't let me pick it, just speed in my case. Now I don't even get the option for it.

You are a gentleman and a scholar good sir!!!
No idea what was so different... I uninstalled my 5.9, installed yours, and wala... 1080p and 1440p is back!
Exactly like I said earlier. It will work for you, you just have to have really fast speed for it. You'll click it and it wont select it it will stay at whatever it was at, but as soon as you get fast enough speed it will switch over to your selection.
1440p takes a loooot of juice to play.
Mine would only play when I am at ~25mbs
