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.

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?

Yah, you will either need the Evo version in the app/themes section or the gingerbread version.
Both of them have been working fine for me, but some people have reported problems on them on some occasions. Either way there is an option to set to high quality in the options menu.

Does anyone get choppy video playback on some videos? I have noticed it when streaming some videos from youtube and other websites.

Are you using the stock browser or something else?

What rom are you using? I had this problem but its because the rom set the read ahead speed too large. Use sd booster from market if you're rooted and check what read speed is. It should be 128kb.

I'm using Villain rom 2.1 but I have noticed the problem standard firmware to. It does it on stock browser and tried a few other browsers to.
Read speed is 128kb.
Any particular videos?

wfi, 3g or both? does it get better if you reduce the size to 360p or are you view through the youtube app, if so try viewing though the desktop version to see if there is any difference, like other say it could be your ROM so search on the ROM thread for known issues.
I've seen it happen too on some flash video's site. I think it's all about the same site here . Nasty

What rom you using ? and is your SGS2 with exynos and not tegra ?
I noticed it on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIagVxNqQ4c
Watch with the youtube app on HIGH QUALITY its a bit choppy like its struggling to buffer. You notice it more when you skip through a few mins.
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.

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.
Anyone else find that while playing YouTube videos it's a bit choppy? I tested multiple videos and they all seem to be very choppy.

No problem here on the open D802 version.
Only with HD enabled. Unfortunately. Alot of other users (german android-hilfe.de forum) also say that its choppy with HD enabled (D802).
Apparently, it was the same on previous LG Android phones.

Issue lies within the LG Software.
Does this happen on wifi too, or just on the celluar network? I have verizon and no issues so far.

Go search smarttube the only downside it doesn't bring up you subscription feed. I connected my YouTube account and add it to watch later and then go on smarttube and they have a section for YouTube watch later
The issue that I have is the quality of video isn't very good. Its not bad until you see text on the screen and its kinda pixelated. Smarttube looks better on HD or full HD. Then my YouTube app

Thanks for the recommendation, will check it out.
I can't believe the default Youtube app still has problems up till now. It's a Google app for goodness' sake!

I have also brought thus issue up in the Q&A forum before. The only solutions I have found so far is too uninstall updates of the YouTube app and use the old one instead, or use the mobile web version.

No lag for me on youtube vids at all so far, Bell version of LG G2, that being said i will keep an eye out for any oddities, since my youtube app just updated itself this morning.
No problem here. Have you tried uninstall and reinstall the app?
