how do you stream in HD?

it seems like I can't stream anything in HD. is there a setting for this? Both YouTube and Netflix apps streams in 360 or 480p even when HD button is on. it's kind of annoying when I know I can get better picture than that. What's the purpose of having a nice screen when you can only stream in this resolution? is there a way to force these to stream in 720p? or at least an apk that will work on Galaxy Note II. i've found some but it doesn't work on my NII. thanks.

Hd YouTube only works on wifi unless you un install with titanium and flash custom one YOU MUST RESTART YOUR PHONE BETWEEN UNINSTALL AND NEW INSTALL

For youtube you can go to settings but I think its HQ and for you to see videos you have to make sure whatever video you choose to watch is a HD video that way when it starts you can select the HD option button remember on youtube you have to hope that the uploader had recorded their videos in HD also. Now for netflix it shows on its own since I have lte I really never tried to see if their was an option for HD in the settings.

both of them shows pixelation even both the Netflix shows I watch and YouTube channels in am subscribed to is both available in HD. I cannot express how much I hate this.
I see you use Sprint version. have you tried comparing it side by side a laptop or desktop if they are the same? I tried comparing them and note II was inferior of the three, but when I run a video I have on my sd card it looks crisp.

this! I tried this earlier with TIBU but I can't install it. Apparently it stayed at my app drawer so it blocked me from installing it. I tried it again and worked like magic. it's finally streaming true HD! now we just need netflix. I tried some already but all of them won't work. It force closes on me. tyvm

mine didn't. It seems like it's not just me. There's a huge difference between the modded apk linked above than the one on play store. no pixelation and discoloration on the new apk. crisp and clear just like how it looks like on a laptop. but now it eats a lot more data which is fine since I have unlimited 4g nationwide. I guess I see why the official one doesn't offer true HD. ^^.
I hope somebody do something like that for netflix. I've searched but no one has a working apk on Samsung devices. :/

Download Tube mate (Google It) you can stream or download 1080P,720P,480P,360P HD videos on 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi. Works great for me. Also there's a modded Netflix APK that supports 720P. Google it as well. I don't like posting links because they may be considered as spam.

[Q] Better YouTube app?

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of the unofficial YouTube apps on the Play Store. The official YouTube app I use is terrible. Always buffering. Even on a strong wifi connection. YouTube through the browser works alright, but is less convenient. Anybody have any recommendations?

is there an app that just downloads the audio track and plays it? i swear i found one a couple years ago on my wfs but i forgot what it was. i dont care much about the videos, as i only use you tube to find and play specific tracks, but its such a data hog with the vids

Ima register my interest here - since getting a tablet I've found i cannot watch HD vids due to buffering issues that don't exist in browser or on other devices using the same connection.

I never play strictly audio from YouTube as there are plenty of OTHER audio options I use on the M. When I'm on YouTube it's for videos. Heck the website works from my phone better than the app.

I know it's been a few months from the last response, but I feel like I should still reply in case you/someone else is still interested in a better Youtube app.
Viral HD Youtube Popup Player is the best Youtube app I've found for Android, far better than the official app. You can actually choose what quality video you want instead of HQ/HD and not HQ/HD, which is something about the official app that really annoys me. Also it doesn't shove recommended videos in your face when you start it, it instantly shows your subscriptions. The player interface also has much more usability (eg. changing the brightness/volume and being able to lock it) and it also has a neat feature to play the video in a popup window while you do other stuff (which isn't very useful in most situations really and you can disable it in the settings if you don't use it) or you can just have the video play in the background (which is really useful in case it's a podcast/music video).
It does have some bugs and missing features, which I'm sure will get fixed eventually, but in general the app looks really good and polished unlike most other unofficial Youtube apps.
(I was going to put a link to it in the Play store, but since I can't just search for Viral HD Youtube Popup Player and you'll find it)
PS. I've no idea if it fixes the buffering issue, I just had to share it since it's fairly difficult to stumble upon it in the Play store and it's just so good that it deserves far more than 100k downloads

TubeMate also has the option built-in to download videos as video or audio files.

Blurry YouTube?

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?

Accidently uninstalled those beautiful preloaded QHD videos

Anybody want to tell me how to get them back on my device?

Factory reset? If that isn't an option I'll upload it on my Dropbox and link it on here

wat
Thank you for uploading it to drop box, BUT when I try to download a toast pops up telling me that this object isn't supported on my device. I then navigated to the downloads app, and there was a green lock on both of those videos. I'm fairly new to android, but I'm thinking this has something to do with the permissions within the gallery, because I remember that same green lock when I used to watch those video's so maybe it has something to do with them being locked? And I factory reset after I moved the video's to a different holder's which is how I got rid of them in the first place.

Any reason why you want these videos? If it's for the sole purpose of showing off your screen YouTube has a much better selection of 4k videos check this one out http://youtu.be/EgKXcQ9PLuc

Why don't you try "Tubemate" for Android? You can download highest quality of videos but you got to sacrifice your data for those quality videos or just use wi-fi
Just don't go over your data plan! Hahaha!

Can we get on lg g2 and its btw license protected downloaded but cnt play dem on g2.

I believe the licence for each video is linked to each device so we cannot load the video from another device.
I don't seem to have them either however I don't remember deleting them...

Get your lg g3 back original
Have you tried factory restore? It always worked for me.

I downloaded both of these from the Dropbox links and they work fine for me. D851.

So, i created a thread in the verizon community about the pre-installed videos and was given a link to somones dropbox with both the videos and they work flawlessly. I downloaded them directly to my phone from his dropbox links, but cant link the damn things to XDA yet because I need at least 10 posts so if you want the link you can PM me or search the verizon community for "LG G3 pre-installed demo videos". I think the fact that we have the Verizon variant of the phone might have something to do with not being able to play the videos that were uploaded to this thread. Cheers!

When I flashed stock Rom to get red off root the video has been gone this weird

Can any body post the links dor the 3 lg themes that came pre installed i also deleted those and i cant find. Them any where

HDR on YouTube is a hit or miss

Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Not supposed to function that way I have to force close the app and launch it again just to watch for the HDR to kick in. I can't find NO guide on how to fix this. Anyone?
Sent from my EVR-L29 using Tapatalk

Probably it depends on which YT video has HDR and which not. Or you have the problem the same YT video has HDR and next time it has no HDR?
