Hi everyone
I love the youtube setup page on the touch HD but once I trydown the videos I keep getting a visual stutter(not sound). This continues until the video has fully downloaded and spoils the video entirely. I have tried the fast download option in the settings but the quality is poor and I did not get the HD to watch blurry videos. I have contacted HTC and tried posting in various forums but to no avail. Is this normal? How can this be corrected?
Thanks
stating if this is while connecting as /GPRS/EDGE/3g/HSDPA
would help
I have always used my wifi settings for youtube. However I just tried it with HSPDA and there was no lag even before the video had fully downloaded! When I tried HSPDA the video downloads and you have to manually start the video wheras with WiFi the video starts automatically(with stutter)
Strange
I to have a stutter if I play over Wi-Fi while the video is still downloading, had this problem also on my HTC Diamond. Seems that the CPU just can't handle rendering the video while the Wi-Fi is being maxed out as it's seems it's just to much data for the CPU to process at once.
Once the video has finished downloading it then plays very smoothly.
HSDPA or 3G play fine though while downloading as it's slower than Wi-Fi, so less data for CPU to work on. Until HTC start providing us with devices with more than 528mhz CPU's or allow the GPU to render the video while the CPU handles the downloading then this problem is always going to be there.
Wonder though if HTC could radically slow down the Wi-Fi on current devices in the YouTube app only in order for the CPU to smoothly render the video while downloading.

Hi all,
Wonder if anyone has experienced this. My Touch HD (stock Orange ROM) is really jerky when playing Youtube videos through the client over Wifi, but fine over a 3g connection..
The Wifi connection is plenty fast enough, the Mrs has an iPhone, which works fine.
Anyone got any idea what I can check? I've made sure everything is turned off.. bluetooth etc..
stuck!
thanks

Hi, easy one this :0) Go to the settings tab select communications, in the bottom right tap settings, then tap wireless lan. Once there select the power mode tab then move slide all the way to the left for best performance. Always works for me, hope it does for you :0)
Sadly not mate, already tried that!
OK so this is REALLY weird. If I have nothing else downloading at home, and the youtube player is downloading it's jerky.
If I start a download going on my laptop (usenet - canes my connection) then what HAS buffered on my Touch HD plays fine. The moment I stop the download, it starts to be jerky again.
Almost seems like the throughput to the phone is killing it somehow, weird! have tried all sorts of settings on my router, but no dice.
Really stuck as to what to try next :/
Must admit until buffering is complete, I too get slightly jerky playback. Although this has always been the case with every Windows Mobile device I've had. Sorry I can't help you anymore m8
:0( Good luck with it.
Background downloading slows the device down, so it cant play the video smoothly. Go to youtube app settings and turn video playback quality to fast download. That helps, but the quality is awful.
I use the high quality, and just wait the video to finish downloading.
It's not just the fact that it's downloading in the background because it's doing that over 3g but plays fine, it's something specific to Wifi.
It's also not just slightly jerky, it's REALLY bad.
I mean.. I've watched plenty of reviews of this device where they've streamed youtube over wifiand it.screen fine..
I wonder if upgrading the radio would help? or is the wifi stuff done by the rom?
Worth a try, my HD works much better with new radio 1.10.25.25 + Custom rom Black Pearl 1.7 lite.
will have to give that a try then. The stock Orange rom is good apart from that but a bit slow.
Just finding picking one to flash to a touch daunting, too much choice!
OK, so I downloaded and flashed to panosha Black Pearl v2.1 HD ROM.
Works fine, is VERY nice and fast Also updated my radio version to 1.12.25.16 but the Youtube thing is still there!!!
I'm going to try it on someone else's wifi connection as soon as I can, but for now, anyone got a clue?!?
OK, I've tried three different roms, and even tried two other wifi networks- same problem.
The device is generally slower when connected to a wifi network, not just youtube. I guess it's just more noticeable when playing YT videos.
Really lost now ;(
Could be that once you are connected on WIFI the youtube player automatically selects the best quality video for you to view, increasing system requirements.
At the same time as trying to view the higher quality video the WIFI also uses a fair bit of CPU power. Try downloading a file on WIFI with everything else closed and you'll notice your device is a lot less responsive until the download is completed.
Only a guess though.
Well of course, but you'd expect a device of this spec to be able to play it without stuttering all over the shop whilst nothing else is loaded...
Hi there = I've got the same bleedin problem!
I am on orange payg 3g, Dutty 2.1 extreme rom.
I never had the problem with the original (orange) total pants rom, but I've also updated the radio to 1.12 so perhaps it's an issue with the radio. Have you tried 1.13 the latest?
It's nowt to do with the youtube settings for sure, it's most definitely wi-fi related. I've noted the i-player mobile app is wildly out of sync on the audio too and never used to be that bad.
If anyone has any ideas or tweaks please let us know. thanks!
Maybe its because when you connect to wifi network it says that rx speed is 1mbps (it should be faster) and the real download speed is around 30 kb per second and i think that that is not enough for playing realtime high quality videos (needs buffering more often). When you set option to best performance that will just increase your transmit power and you will get better reception (but the speed still remains). Maybe that is the problem. Any solution on how to increase the RX speed?
Hi there, i am from singapore. I am also experiencing the same problem with the youtube client from the stock rom. i got mine from starhub! the video is jerky! need help!!
I installed skyfire and also tried some flash websites on IE since it does have flash support and while watching videos flash seems to be real choppy. I think it's due to the slowness of the buffering, but I have 4-5 bars on 3G so just wondering if its the browser or connection. Anyone have a fix to make the flash playback more responsive thanks.
Have you tried it using wifi?
What are the results?
No I haven't tried it yet, but I will definitely do that. I was kinda hoping I'd see better results with 3g, but I guess I was presumptuous.
I tried it with wifi and yet the video is still slow and choppy. It's almost like having a computer that can't handle a program so it starts buffering and bugging out. I don't have anything else running and I have hooked up it to wifi as well and let the video load before watching still is choppy and goes crazy. I have tried it with skyfire is it true that the ie has flash support just not for all sites and does opera have some flash support? Basically I only ask because I want to go to streaming sites for movies sports etc. Thanks
The problem with flash and skyfire is its not optimized for mobile browsing. So its going to have issues. I hope the update the browser to what they released for android it doesnt actually play the video in the browser but does a popout window to play content which seems a lot better.
The crazy thing is i've seen people demo the skyfire browser on youtube and it worked perfectly crazy. Is there any other alternative to getting a better flash experience on our phone until Adobe officially releases full flash support? Mostly I'm trying to use sites like justin to watch programs and they all require flash.
i tried many ways to use skyfire, but still no well progress, its buffering rate is slow, whether u using wifi or 3g, it has a unique connection with the server, if that server is slow(having too much load) then ur browser gona be goofy.
Hey XDA.
I was wondering if any of you guys could help me sort out an issue I've been having with youtube.
I have a 12Mb/s connection through AT&T U-verse and I can't even load a 720p youtube video without lag.
This only happens with youtube because I can play HD videos on Vimeo with no problems whatsoever and can download torrents at 1 megabyte a second.
Youtube speed test says my average download speed is only 2.1 Megabits a second, nowhere near my 12 megabit connection.
Is this an AT&T issue or is it a youtube issue?
What can I do to help stop this?
Screenshot attached.
could be anything
Hi there your drop in speed could be a number of from youtube usage(other people), open background applications like facebook gmail syncing etc i suggest turning all that off then try using youtube again other than that alot of people on the yt review section are saying its only with the latest updates so if you have an old backup try restoring that and see if it makes a difference again im no expert but some useful tips i hope ive given you
Also forgot to mention try wiping your cache aswell it gets pretty full once a while depends on yt usage
You also have to remember that ATT shares its data connection with your TV (FAIL) so if you are watching tv or having the DVR record anything your speed will do down... That is why i will NEVER EVER get ATT because i hate the fact that they steal bandwidth from other devices... So your best bet with the youtube is to not be doing anything else on the TV or other computers... Or depending on your area you can switch to cable INET and TV as you WILL NEVER have that issue!!!

Actually, I already had that in mind. I tested even with all tv receivers disconnected.

Try different videos / different video apps, like Netflix or something. I doubt it's an issue with the phone.
I have this strange issue.
Any video I start playing on YT it always uses 480p resolution.
I'm at home on WiFi.
I can switch to 1080p, but this has to be done every time a new video is playing.
Any ideas?

Depends on what plan you have. I thought T-Mobile limited video to 480p? If that's the case and I believe it is, then you will only be able to watch 480p video while on T-Mobile LTE. That also explains why you can switch to 1080p when on WiFi.

As he stated, he is on home WiFi not T mobiles LTE. So the issue is not with T Mobile.

Could be your youtube settings set to based on your network speed, thus giving you 480p?

I looked through the available YT settings, and could only find the download quality settings, but not regular default resolution playback settings.
Are there settings in YT for resolution that is default when playing back videos?
Are you bootloader unlocked and rooted??
I have the same issue with OP6T bought directly from OnePlus. There are several threads about this on OnePlus forum and the problem is not only with their latest phone.It seems this issue has been there for months but I found a solution. I installed YT Vanced and all is good again. BTW I'm locked not rooted.
