[Q] Youtube Quality - Fascinate General

Even with HQ I still think the youtube quality is pretty ****ty when compared to the Froyo devices. Anything we can do about this?

Connect wifi.. Mines beautiful

I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed it.
I had been spoiled by the youtube on my TP2--quality was never anything but awesome. Even it's low quality settings were better looking than HQ on my fascinate. Very strange.

Youtube is really nice on my fascinate but I am using the HD youtube app that comes on the EVO, Incredible etc. Try that and see if its better.

where are you finding this hd youtube app

you could probably go to the incredible,or evo forums and find it

I tried this apk, works great for the first 45sec then freezes for about 10 then continues. I'm on 3g and wifi...is it just the buffering?

Engadget videos start but then freeze

Engadget videos on my Incredible and my friends Evo, both stock seem to play fine for a bit and then the audio continues but the video freezes. I'm using the latest version of flash and I don't have this problem with any other sites that I've come across. Any ideas what can be done to fix this?

Droid X video quality is terrible. check these videos

here is a few video clips i have taken on the DX. i am not too pleased with them. seems there is a lot of video noise going on. i have not messed with any settings. running Fission 2.2.2 and the DX Camera installed. settings are on High. seems to be the same on Youtube High but only difference is that it is limited on length.. right?
thanks for any advice. be sure to click the 720 setting......
edit... go to my youtube channel.. "tha5150" since i cant post links yet.. since im a newb
and you're expecting 1080p HD quality on the Droid X? I don't get it. What are you comparing the video quality to?
not expecting 1080 by any means.. and not really comparing it to anything i guess. just seems like there is a LOT of video noise in here. especially the one of my dumb friend trying to dance. that one has lower light but looks terrible to me. maybe i am expecting more than what i have?
is this me or not?
Im pretty sure you can change the settings for which mic will turn on when capturing a video, if not all of the mics will be turned on...I may be wrong but I feel like I remember something like when I was watching some reviews on youtube

not audio noise but video noise.. thanks for the tip though.
I looked on my phone, try changing the scenes... that may help

It was probably the poor lighting that caused all the noise. Check out my sample clip (once it's rendered in 720p)

I'm not sure what you're asking. That was on Fission 2.2.1 using the stock Motorola Camcorder app though.
Do a search on you tube for vids taken with the dx there is one of someone at a trans Siberian orchestra concert and it sealed the deal for me on buying the Dx. The video and sound looked great. You just need to play with the settings.

Youtube HD Videos don't look HD on my GS3

Hi, when I watch HD videos on Youtube (version 4.0.8E), the video doesn't look HD at all. It's far from looking sharp. This is running off HSPA+ as well as WiFi. Those same videos on my Galaxy S 4G and also on my 22 inch monitor definitely look HD. Although, HD movies I've transferred onto my phone look HD. So it's definitely the Youtube app with the issue. Anyone else getting this?
hmmm. no issues here. version 4.0.8E
There is a YouTube apk floating around here that forces HD onto our phones instead of just HQ. Its in the Android Development and Hacking forum.
Or....click the first link that comes up when you Google YouTube HD xda

This! And also on wifi it should be HD. I'm also wondering if this is a tmo thing. I recall on my Sprint s3 it was HD even on 3g. It would buffer a lot though due to low bandwidth. Don't have it active now to double check.

[Q] HD on the Youtube app?

Hey. I'm new here Thought i'd see if you guys could answer a question for me.
I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what the resolution of videos playing in the nexus 10 youtube app are? I haven't actually got my nexus yet, but I imagine it's the same as my S3, where the player only has a "SD" and "HD" option.
Is the HD just equivilent to 720p? Or will it choose the highest possible resolution for the video? I'm asking this because watching youtube videos in 1080p would be really nice
Thanks!
I am curious too since it does not lt you select.
Pretty sure it's 720p on the app for HD.
I'll do a test when I get home later.
I've been wondering that too
Youtube app will render videos to Hd720p. If you want full 1080p you'll have to use the browser.

Thanks for the replies.
That's annoying Would be nice if google could update the app for tablets so we can view 1080p videos without having to use the browser.
Google should update the app and give you the option because the browser page is not good in my opinion slow laggy and hard to use with a touch screen.
Why make a Google product and then hinder it with low quality video stream. Honestly its one thing that annoys me with with his tablet how soft videos look from the YouTube app. It does not do this amazing tablet justice , lucky I have nice images to look at lol

Yup, 720p only.
Your right! I did not know that. Google does own youtube since 2005 from what I read.

isn't youtube owned by google?

Its not Google that needs to update, it's YouTube. Google isnt responsible for apps not made by them.
Youtube just needs to start jumping on the band wagon and start supporting higher res streaming.

If google says jump, youtube says how high. They are their subsidiary.
With the Nexus 10 and its supreme display resolution I guess we can expect an update to the YouTube app pretty soon. I expect a 1080p option.
Yes, 1600p would be nice but don't forget at this resolution/bitrate many people won't be able to stream it anymore, at least not in an acceptable time frame.

How many people are tethering often enough to worry about that? I have a first batch Nexus 10, and I've always just used it on Wi-Fi.

It was a sarcastic question hence the face. Thanks for joining in on the conversation.
Nexus 10 doesn't come with radio for data hence me asking as if his Nexus 10 did.
I hope this explanation clears things up for you so you aren't confused by sarcasm.
Yeah it would be nice if they updated the app, but I suppose 720p isn't too bad on a 10 inch screen anyway.
Youtube only supports up to 2048x1536 at the moment anyway. Hopfully 1600p youtube will come eventually
Youtube 720p looks surprisingly good on the N10 to me. If they add a 1080p option I definitely hope 720p is still selectable.

Well, let me answer with some numbers:
I have a really high quality video on my N10 (the Timescape Trailer), it's 1440p and 33.5 mbit/sec worth of data.
Even with high compression a 1600p video would be like 10-20 mbit/sec or around 40 mbit/sec in very high quality.

Youtube video quality...

I have the settings to high quality on mobile but for some reason none of the videos I play are crisp. I tried the app the browser tried searching hd videos but everything seems to be pixelated to some extent? Anyone else having the same issues?

I thought i had that issue at first too. But i switched to Wifi and it came in clear. I dont know why, but 3g never gets videos clear for me. I had this issue on the SIII as well.
Videos play on "High Quality" over 3G. When on WiFi and I belive 4G also, video play in "HD". That is why it looks better over WiFi. There is a YouTube app floating around that has a setting that will allow you to watch videos in HD over 3G. However, 3G doesnt tend to have good enough speeds for solid playback in HD.
