YouTube other streaming services locked in DVD quality - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

I though this was only in India and Europe I guess now it's also the United States that steaming is locked at 480P by default and you CAN'T change it to anything higher than that. I tried to use a VPN and nope still only getting 2008 video quality

I've noticed that too. Whats your phone's regional code?
.

Due to lockdown and all these work from home. Google announced that mobile version will be restricted to 480p highest. So if u want higher quality open www.youtube.com in browser as desktop version.

I want to set it to 360. But its still default to 480 like nano303 complained about. Is there any way to set and keep it at 360 or lower?

Where??? I tried lowering it to 240 and it keeps ticking back to 480. Where in the app can you default to 360 cuz I've been all over the app and cant find this setting youre talking about.

Better use youtube vanced app. It has better features and background and popup play.
Latest youtube has some glitch so 13 version youtube app still works if you set to fixed resolution. So use old version of youtube or install youtube vanced best solution

[Q] Youtube low resolution

Good day,
I just noticed that the youtube videos in app only go up to 360p. This is horrible. Is anyone else have the same problem? Is it just version related?
Thanks

That how the default YouTube app for Android. If you want higher, you need to root the phone and use a modded version of youtube.

In that case I would say that a Google problem? In any case, there are modded youtube app on XDA that allows 720/1080p.
It sx, I might take a look to modded apps or mod this one myself, if I find how.

If you're rooted change your android version in build.prop to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4. Then reboot and 480p will appear. 720p or higher are useless on a qHD screen.
If you want to have 720p, install app settings and then edit screen option for youtube to 600x1024, it will appear 720p option
(for better result use dpi 220 and font scale 90 too)
On xda you can find a modded Youtube version that supports 720p & 1080p. It also supports "play while screen off" = the best feature ever! Works great on my S4 Mini!

YouTube 4K video?

I don't see an option to watch 4k videos on YouTube, I can only see 720P and nothing higher than that. Does anyone know if there is trick to it? Any help will be much appreciated.
Yes, I'm on the same boat as you. Apparently it's only the Android version of YouTube. The iOS version displays 1080p. Hoping Google fixed the issue as the Nexus 6 and 9 release is close.
The screen can only handle 1440p so 4k YouTube streaming won't make much a difference really. But since I have not done so myself.. Could be wrong. But you are right 720p is our max atm.. Bummer

I've been trying to figure out how to play 1440p videos ..YouTube had a apk for it but removed it..Can anyone confirm 1440p is working?
Edit: And I can also just see 720p and below

To make it stick at 1440 you start playing the video then go to settings, quality, click 1440, start the video over.. might have to do it 6 times until you get the hang of it. Thanks

Better Youtube Quality

Hi,
I just wnt to know if there is a way to get my youtube quality higher than 360p?
In other apps i can get higher quality but not in the official youtube app!
Thanks..
YORAN KREMER.
Have this problem too, so I'm using tubemate. Maybe there's a fix for that in the xposed framework, otherwise you could maybe try to change the density of youtube(with app manager in xposed).Or maybe you could change your device brand and model in the build.prop to another device with 720p resolution.

I use the modded youtube app you can find on xda, there you can set the resolution you want. And use play while screen is off. It rocks.

Indeed .. it's missing now.
Do you run stock google ROM ?
When did 1440p stopped working ?
Since last ROM update .. or since last YouTube app update ?
The May 2018 stock ROM did "kill" 1440p ? .. Does it work in June update again ?
Thanks
Is there a way to have 2k again for YouTube?
I'm using the Resurrection Remix ROM
Thank you
Help me, please.
It's very annoying, i can't find a way to fix this issue with YouTube, 2k
Should I try maybe, to run the default rom, before May 2018?
Who's the culprit? Latest YouTube updates, or my custom ROM RR?
Any ideas are welcome, thank you
i am using the stock rom and no more 2k in youtube dont know if it was an app update or a rom patch

I've been wondering about this as well. Not only on my Pixel C, but on my HTC 10 1440p options is long gone. I still use OGYoutube and even on it (an older version of Youtube that doesn't change the resolution so aggresively like the new version does) 1440 is no longer there. I can't test this anywhere else because I'd don't have any monitors with high resolution than 1080p. I guess Google can't afford it on mobile? they need to remake the Youtube app. It's a mess.
There's some settings in YouTube Vanced that allow for the highest resolutions on every device. So now I have 1440p on my pixel C when I am using YouTube Vanced. If you need me to tell you what I did exactly ask and I'll go through the trouble of typing it all down It wasn't me shouldn't be too complicated to figure out

yup
use (any) VPN to bypass 480p restrictions
It will automatically start you out in 480p but you should be able to switch to a higher resolution manually. I just checked a video and was able to put it at 1080p.
May be 480p was set automatically try to change the resolution manually... if it don't work then check for Youtube updates. Update it may be Youtube too may have some bugs..
Cheers!
