I recently bought 2 galaxy tab 4 7.0 for my children, but after play a bit noticed that one of them has the youtube app locked to 4:3 screen aspect ratio. I Don't know how to fix it and can't uninstall/reinstall the app since it is not rooted.
Any sugestions???

SIMPLY UPDATE THE YOUTUBE APP, FROM PLAY STORE. YOUR PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED.
=================================================================================
I'm having issues with the YouTube videos freezing after about a minute playback. Happens on two tab4 for sprint. It isn't the hardware but I'm sure its the YouTube app for these tablets that is broken. Anyone else noticing this.

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.
Is there a way in the play store, similar to ITunes where I can just search for Tablet applications? Also, what is your favorite tablet optimized application?

These days, a screen resolution of 800 x 480 is considered pretty pathetic for a smartphone. The Samsung Glaxy S3 has a screen resolution of 1280x720, just a smidgen below our 1280x800. Given these facts, the whole "tablet optimized applications" worry is something of a red herring, IHMO. We are no longer dealing with apps that were written for 480x320 screens and stretched to fill a tablet. We're, by and large, talking about apps that are written to adjust to phones with screens as large as 5.5" (for the Galaxy Note) and resolutions that would have seemed generous on 17" monitors not too many years ago.
While this may be true, tablets have more physical space. Resolution is one thing, but tablet optimized apps take advantage of the size of a larger screen to get more done. Take just the gmail app. If you just stuck the phone app on the tablet, it would be horrible.

I have been having some pretty consistent problems with my youtube app, and while trying to play youtube videos on Dolphin or Boat browsers in general. Mainly they occur when I try to play fullscreen hd youtube videos. While on the youtube app, the app quickly loads around half or one-third of the video. The video plays well enough till the point the video has been loaded and then gets stuck. If I try to go back or do anything at all the whole app gets hanged.
On the browsers, the problem is a bit different. Earlier on stock Roms, aokp pub and aokp by task650, and on paranoid android (all roms on 4.2.2) the browsers while playing videos in fullscreen hd would not only hang up but kill ALL background processes. I would then have to restart these processes (such as avast, orientation control etc). However now am on a rom called Vanilla rootbox which is a combination of aokp and PA type rom. Here the background processes aren't killed but the video wouldn't play at all in fullscreen, whether hd or not.
I have no problems playing videos in any size less than fullscreen in either the youtube app or the browsers, whether hd or not.
I have been wondering if my screen lcd density could be a reason for this, or if there is problems with the per app dpi I have set. I have tried changing them but haven't seen much improvement. this could be the case, what should I preferebly keep the screen or the youtube app dpi as to avoid this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

I don't really have a problem with HD videos on YouTube on full screen. I'm running just stock and only the YouTube app. I'm thinking that maybe you need to free up some more memory or check your wifi. I have noticed that when I had an antivirus app it slowed everything down and I had random reboots. Sorry if this isn't the answer your looking for, but its something.

I have more and less narrowed down the problem to being related to my screen density. With 320p youtube app is working, browsers hang on full screen mode for youtube.

I know someone else somewhere had a similar issue (YouTube would crash on going full screen), and they narrowed it down to an issue with having the Notification/Navbar at top/bottom hidden... apparently this threw off the screen size and pixel density enough to make You-Tube freak out.
Not sure if you have this option on those ROMs, and if you have it on... but thought it might be worth throwing out there.
Since the day I bought my note 3 I noticed that the YouTube app has a slight stutter during video playback. The audio is fine and doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or data. Online videos play just fine and so do the videos I take with the phone. I have since rooted the phone and I've tried every rom available and they all do it. Anyone else having this problem?
Not here. Do you have it set to hq mode? Maybe try unchecking that.

my 2 year old rooted DROID RAZR could play anything regardless of quality. I would only think that this rocket ship of a phone should be able to do the same thing only better.
Mine works fine on hq unless I've got bad signal. I agree with you though.

When I first got my phone about a week ago, I let it do the google play updates after doing the initial phone setup. One of the updates was youtube. I was having problems with stutters on playback every few seconds on every video I watched. I went into settings-application manager and uninstalled the updates back to the original factory installed version. The stutters have now went away and all the videos have played smoothly.
Just to let everyone know. I got an updated YouTube today dated version. 10.05.6 and with any mods it has 1440p video available.
If anyone needs the app let me know.

Does the video you tried to watch support 1440p? Search for "2k demo video" or something and see if 1440p is available when you watch one of those.
I did not do anything special it just played search 4k video test you will find a couple great test videos.

There's a certain process to follow. Look for it in apps and themes. It's posted there.

I got it fixed. All i did was install the app and clear the data and it started working. Nothing extra. Nice jump in quality since i was only able to see videos in 720p before.

Should be by now. It wasn't when the OP was made. I hade it before apk mirror too.
However the OP was to inform people they did not need to do the build prop edit anymore to get the 2k viewing.

New app updated from Google Play worked for me. But it wont work right off the bat. You have to force close app, go to the app settings and clear cache and data. Restarted YouTube and voila! Haven't had 1440p enabled in quite a bit
Anyone Know how to keep video quality at the highest? seems to change between videos. Nothing is settings.
Depends on the resolution the video was uploaded with. Some videos are low resolution, some are high. So you have to check each one. YouTube also streams in a lower resolution to get the video to the viewer quicker. Not everyone has fast enough Internet to stream 4k videos without buffering issues.
