I got beef the youtube app, and I'm sure they wont listen to little ol me

Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.

Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.

If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.

It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

This is just what I was looking for. Awesome! Upgraded. The mobile site is just as bad guys, you have to go through hoops to get hq.

XDA App FC's [Wifi Xoom]

Like the title says XDA app force closes when trying to create a new post every time. It also force closes when I try to hit the back button to exit. When I go back into the app it loses my login settings.
Have tried a factory restore and uninstalling/reinstalling the app. No luck. Seen a few more force closes in other apps too. Should I exchange this thing or what?

Its not the zoom fool. Same thing.happens on my epic. Im constantly deleting and reinstalling xda app. Somethings horridly wrong with it lol

I assumed it worked somewhat. Since people are posting for the app with their Xoom. I will give it a few days and see.

Looks like original tapatalk works for those that are having the same problem.

I had the same exact problem with the xda premium app on the xoom; also i sometimes got FC problems on my galaxy tab with the same app but most of the time it worked normally on the tab. Now it consistently FC on the same doing the same actions as in your situation.

It has the same problem on the Gtablet. You know though, if you have 10 inches of viewing space just make a bookmark in your browser and put a link on your desktop.

Bookmarks are great and all but xda's site is slow in the browser.

Lol... the app designed for one of the largest android communities on the planet is freakin broken? I would chalk that up as extremely embarrassing.

Use Tap Talk Pro, it is basically the same thing. And works for many other forums too.

No problem on my nexus S ....
Is there any plan for Honeycomb optimized XDA App?
With thread list in the left and content in the right.
That would be awesome

XDA (non premium) app FC's on my new Wifi Xoom. But it works fine on my Dinc, fwiw. Hopefully someone in XDA Developers can find a solution. I also don't understand why the XDA web site is so slow on the Xoom browser. Much slower to load than every other website that I regularly visit. Don't see this on my Win7 PC using Chrome.

I agree and has been the case since I got my Xoom (slow in browser and slow to type).

Same problems with my MZ604 as well. I can reproduce a crash every time by logging in, click a forum, then click an individual post, kaboom. Even if I click into a few different forums first, once I hit a post, FC.

I've been able to view posts before, but once I clicked on a post with an attachment it no longer worked until a reinstall.

I also get this weird problem with xda app on the xoom where the op kind of blurs and slows everything down when scrolling, even if its quoted. I've been using tapatalk on the xoom instead

lets just hope they are working on a tablet version. #Team Xoom and EVO

Camera viewfinder problem?

So I decided to give the gps program Navigon a spin, and although it was a lengthy download to get the maps, I found it quite useful. However, one of the options was to use the camera as a "viewfinder" and it was supposed to do like an augmented reality navigation. Not only did this not work, but it made my camera viewfinder screen stretched out, kind of like when you try to stretch a 4:3 movie in a 16:9 resolution. I have uninstalled the program and rebooted phone multiple times, but to no avail. I am currently running wolf's cm6 v007 with no xperia ui and the FPS limit removed...
If anyone has any suggestions or if I can provide any more info that could lead to a solution, please let me know...

You may end up having to back up all your data and reflash the rom.

blargh...i was hoping that wasn't the answer...i just got it the way i like it...<sigh>

Pm the person who made the Rom before flashing and ask then. Can't hurt.

That's true. I'll give it a shot. Thanks... I guess no one has run into this one before.

Instagram for Android

Why is that whenever I post an Instagram pic on Facebook, I just get a small thumbnail plus a link to my Instagram photo? This is repeatable on my brother's S3. On iOS, when I post the same on Facebook, it will show a bigger photo.
Is this an Android thing? Or Instagram has given iOS user's more priority?

Doesn't happen to me, I get the full pic.

Try uninstalling and re-installing again.... (Farcebook, and Instagram)

I believe this is due to the sharing settings you have set in instagram, Check them all and it may give you your answer
Let me know if you want anymore info and remember it costs nothing to click Thanks !

>using instagram
>any year

Same problem here ..

The way to work around it is this.
Take a photo using the camera not using instagrams camera then click on the photo in gallery and press the share icon and select instagrams. Then resize the photo and rotate.
Select your filter if you want! Then click the top right icon (arrow) and select Facebook.
And there you go!
The way that your getting thumbnails is sending an already edited photo within instagram by pressing the 3 dots and selecting share?
Hope this helps!

Google Hangout stretched video on Nexus 4

So for whatever reason my video is stretched vertically in portrait and horizontally on landscape whenever I'm using Google Hangouts with the front facing camera. I'm going to test with other video chat services like Skype but I'm wondering why that's happening.
I'm not sure whether it's hardware or software but I'd suspect the latter. I'm already rooted so I might just flash a new ROM like PA 2.9 to see if that fixes it. Or can I just flash the camera app again? Any ideas?

I think it's software, not like it when you use Gtalk, hopefully sort it in next update.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Same thing here.. I look weird and all long
But yea i think it is software bug where it is trying to get the resolution of the camera app.

Oh good it's not just me.
I'm relieved

I can see this with both the front and rear-facing cameras. Initially I thought it was my imagination, so I took a couple of screen-grabs of the video with a coin in shot and drew a true circle (blue) and the now-elliptical coin outline (red) over the top.
The images confirm that video in Google Plus hangouts is definitely stretched. Don't see any issue in the regular camera, and GTalk video also looked OK to a superficial check.

Nothing to add except that it is happening for me as well...

Same thing here.

Going to keep an eye out if it's fixed in 4.2.2
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I am on 4.2.2 and it's not fixed yet.

I can't believe this hasn't been fixed! Use hangouts a lot, it's a software fix as gtalk app is fine....... No one in the Google house must not be using hangouts on a Nexus 4!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Question I want to ask, are people getting unclear audio on hangouts or that the other side gets echo's? Compare to the iPad version which seems to be fine I get a lot of problems on the Nexus 10 and 4.

Did anyone find a fix for this? or know of the problem?

It is a defect for the Nexus 4 only. Just got to be patient for Google to fix it in their App. Wait until after Google I/O
