Bow that YouTube update the app and it no longer supports 1080 or 1440, does anyone have a working apk that activates those two resolutions? I found the apk of the new material design version but the highest resolution is still 720p! I hope they really fix this soon! Anyone have any info on this?
I just view you tube from chrome browser and get 2k.

I downloaded it using dolphin PhD and then used astro to install and worked fine
The stock app defaults to HD when you're on wifi/4g. When you are on 3G, it defaults to lower quality, but just hit menu--more--watch in HQ is still an option.
Thanks friend! Works perfectly.

That app doesn't have upload functionality.
And the default app only uploads over WiFi (refuses to work on either 3G or 4G connections).
Anyone know how to get an upload to work over 4G?
Thx.
Or just push the hq button in the lower right-hand corner. If its red then hq is on.

This app (and the HQ setting in the included app) don't seem to do improve the video that much.
The video quality is much higher when I download Youtube videos using the Youtube Ripper app. I am guessing that the HQ setting gives you a slightly better .3gp version of the video. The Youtube ripper app pulls down a .MP4 that is better quality.

Bubby's oasp rom(in dev section) has youtube.apk that plays HQ on startup,all you have to do is go in settings and select HQ default and it will play HQ on default and yo can push HQ button on the side to switch to LQ if you want.
I've noticed that when you click on a you tube video or link in chrome it takes you to the YouTube mobile site instead of the YouTube app like the stock browser. Does anyone know a work around for this?

I think a lot of people have noticed that:
1 - Chrome will always us a mobile site if on is available, and the user agent cannot be changed.
2 - Chrome does not appear to be able to launch apps from links...

That could change with future updates as well. Never know, its just a beta.
I've also noticed chrome doesn't give the option to push to desktop view like the stock does. Overall, I like the speed and features of the chrome.

I miss this too Was great when I could do it in my SGS1. Load a youtube vid and hit the power button to lock the screen so its off OR even start my browser and surf while playing youtube music Pretty bad decision for Google/Samsung to break this in ICS.

I dont think its an app thing. I believe ICS is codded for it. Kinda like how when you are listening to music and take pictures the music pauses for a moment to execute the shutter sound even if you have disabled it

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!
