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.

lol that makes sense

there was a thread in the apps section for this. there is a youtube.apk that has hq set to default

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.

Does downloading the new vesion from market update the one already in the phone or do I need to remove the old one from phone. I cant think of how to remove the old one (without root ofcourse)

It is work fine on my p509 w/CM7, so hopefully it will work with all optimus one versions.

Thanks! This works great for me. I tried out a few different programs and everything seems to be working.
What kind of bandwidth does Netflix use on a mobile device? When I stream music I use about 60-70 MB/hour. I am wondering if this is something I can use outside my home or just when I have access to wifi.
Thanks.

installs fine, stream starts, but has the "chipmunk" audio issue (playback twice fast), as well as the green bar at the top issue. (P509, rom void#echo, with hwacc.)

Yeah.. some people have had this issue across different models of phone.
Personally, on CM7 from mik, it works fine for me. I wonder if it 2x on froyo and not gingerbread.
So far as bandwidth taken, I don't know yet. I have only done it on wifi so I haven't been paying much attention.

If you want the newest YouTube app you have to be on 2.2+. I think there is a apk floating around but the last time I tried it I was getting FC issues when logging in. Maybe try searching the general section of Android games and apps to see if it has been fixed.
Good luck and let me know what you find.

Sure will give it a try but i think it doesn't have anything to do with 2.2 since stock rom has the updated version of the apk

Had the same issue last night. I was playing video around 6pm eastern then around 7-7:30pm I was unable to watch any video because it would force close on me. Then I tried my HTC Thunderbolt and it was working just fine. Then I checked the market on my tablet and it was not even showing up in my apps but it was showing up on my tablet apps. Then I went market via browser and it was showing up not avalaible for my tablet but it was avaliable to all my phones. As far as I am aware of it is still not available.... Nope I just checked the market via web browser and it still not showing up (5:30am Est). I hope this is fixed by the time I get back home in the next 11H 30M

Yes just checked mine 5.45pm in thailand and force closing! !

I've noticed that the use of YouTube has been intermittent over the last few days. Just when I think it's fixed, it messes up again. The YouTube forum has the same complaints. Some think it's a badly formed xml list somewhere.
Can't wait until it's fixed for good.

It is a known issue to everyone youtube app force close? Guys if you encounter the same problem like everyone else just send report to let the developer know about this issue

Ok. May be true about those guys as what happens yesterday was a global issue. So might be ok to assume that its going to be fine from now on unless the global issue reoccurs.
