[Q] 1440p & 1080p missing from Youtube App! - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone else noticed 1440 and 1080 are missing from the YouTube app?
I was looking forward to viewing glorious 1440p on my Note 4 but it's nowhere to be seen!
Any ideas how I can revert back to a previous version or is rooting the only way to go?
Thanks in advance!

You need to uninstall the YouTube updates(there's an option for this in the applications menu) then sideload the YouTube version that works (I found It on XDA somewhere but can't remember where). I would imagine with the Nexus 6 QHD coming out ,Google will fix it soon.

Cheers Batfink33, i'll have a look for the better version....
What a pain!

Even with the version that works, it's still quite buggy and you have to play around with it. Some people are going through the browser on desktop mode and that seems to work apparently (haven't tried it though).

I just gave it a go on the desktop site, doesn't work great, especially over mobile data! Could just be my signal's not that good though.
I think i'll just wait for the fix!

flash player just got an update?

Market flash just got an update, no change log. It might now work with tegra as per what they said on their last update.
Anyone have time to check this now?
works a treat! Cheers.

dunno but people are commenting on the market, that the update broke flash.
It would help if there was a changelog on the market.
Can you please post the apk here?
Thanks
I don't believe this works that well, the video quality is poor compared to the current version of flash I have installed, its as if its optimised for smaller screens and scaled up, as far as I can see flash player has no settings - can anyone else comment on this?

Strange from my experience the quality is the same if not better and the videos loads far faster and are much more responsive to touch inputs.

Netflix HD Installed on Galaxy Note -Edit Never Mind

I was reading this article on gottabemobile.com About XDA porting the Netflix HD app to the Galaxy Nexus..and I thought, umm why don't I try that on my Note....Installed the APK from their link...OMG BEAUTIFUL. I started up the New Star Trek Movie, awesome, the old Star Trek, awesome again...the interface is a bit small as its made for tablets I guess, but just pull your stylus out and there is no problem here!
On one small note. I used Chrome to Phone to send myself the APK link. After I got the APK link I also got bombarded with spam links via Chrome to Phone on my notification bar. I had to uninstall Chrome to Phone after 12 notifications about "Hot Girls" I'm guessing this is almost like uncontrolled. pop ups on the server that was serving the APK file. Hopefully I can re-install it with-out the spam, as I use Chrome to Phone a lot!
Edit:
Just connected it to my LCD...it does not look like 1080p when compared to running a youtube 1080p video
Well darn...
I actually can't stand the interface. Without the stylus it's very hard to navigate. Very hard. I wish I could switch it back but still keep the high res video.
The normal netflix app on the Note was also very small as I remember from the handful of times I used it before I installed this APK. Though the actually interface does seam just a tad different.
OP are you sure about that?
I was under the impression that Netflix HD only will stream 720p content to OMAP equipped phones at the moment.
I tried the APK on my Note and movies look exactly the same as the regular Netflix App, still looking standard definition to me.
I have no way to confirm that it is actually playing HD. They look great to me. Though I must admit, I only used it a handful of times previously. The APK works and it's functional. I'll try and use the HDMI Out Cable and see if there is any improvident....
Edit:

don't discount this app just yet. It definitely plays video better than the app i installed it over. I watch a lot of space docs on netflix, and they have looked terrible because of the black "blockiness" problem with the note. This version of netflix looks amazing on the note compared to the one i had downloaded from the market. this fixes one of my only disappointments with my phone!
and it also gives me hope that the video issues can be fixed by software alone!

Can you tell me which APK you are using? I am sure we are using the same one and the picture is not any different to me than the stock. This is definitely not 720P. am I the only one who feels this way? Also I keep seeing people refer to HD content on Netflix. How can we tell which it is? Thanks.

New YouTube app full screen button missing when docked on TFs!

Hi,
So Google done gone and broke YouTube in the latest version. The full screen button is now gone when you dock your transformer (any version).
Perhaps someone has a link to the old version they can post....I stupidly had YouTube set to auto update.....
Plus I hate the new interface. It's like it was created for the mentally deficient and blind senior citizens....

YouTube Lags
Hi guys,
i have another problem with the new YouTube app but i didn't want to make a new thread.
Everytime i watch videos in higher quality and in the video are fast movements, it jumps forward for 1 or 2 seconds. I have the impression, that my transformer handles the video to slow, because if i watch films where is no real action, everything is fine.
I hope you understand me and sorry for my bad school english.
Edit: their is a problem with the framerate but i don't know what to do.

Lol yes. Unfortunately that is the case.
Same issue here, no full screen button when docked.
Simply resolved: Go to settings, apps, find the youtube app and uninstall updates. Older version looks MUCH nicer with that Wall!!
New version does show slight improvement in video playback speed though, although could be placebo...

Request - tablet youtube

Is it possible to get a tablet (android3?) youtube app working for the N5? it's really the only thing I am badly missing on it. Having only 2 video thumbnails on screen at a time, with a 1920x1080 resolution, compared to having a dozen? on my tablet which is only 1280x720... is really bad. So, is it at all possible to have tablet-youtube on my N5 instead of the stock one?
If it's just a different apk then if someone could provide it that would be great. If it's more complicated... I hope someone can figure it out.

Download the app called App settings using Xposed module, then search youtube and change the resolution to 1280*720 and save and restart
i am using it and works fine :fingers-crossed:

It's not perfect, still a bit wierd (changing font scaling to 52% is best setting for it for me) but at least it's a bit better than default. So, thanks :good:

GCam 7, so I stumbled upon a thing SNAPDRAGON verified

This is the GCAM from Pixel 4/4XL/4a ?
Well on my crusades of random youtube videos tonight custom of the pawn of video talking about g cam 7 and Astro photography. I don't know if anyone else would be interested in a newer g cam APK but I found one of the newest Google camera that works on our devices. My only suggestion to get rid of some green tint this to go into settings and change your viewfinder to the one beginning with YUV. Link posted to save y'all the trouble of going through the pop up process.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/
Download the first one. 7.2.010 it's by Xenius9
Also in advanced settings is where to turn on Astro photography. All modes seem to work, what I've listed is tweaks I've done. Hopefully I've helped someone upgrade their GCam because Lord knows I love to stay in top of things with what's probably the best camera app on Android ??? cheers. Any questions you have let's work it out together and he'll each other folks.
Update: I've discovered that this set up actually gives me the best images. No discoloration blotches or anything. They've all come out crisp, great toned and all.
This only works on pixel devices...what about rooted android(samsung) handsets!?

Well I did say I've only done it on a snapdragon since that's what I have.
After a bunch of tests I find that the stock camera is much better than this port. I don't see the need for the scam with this phone. But it does work well so I guess there's that

do you have any astrphotography sample shots ? i was looking forward to exchange my pixel 3 for a note 9 but the camera was holding me back. If there is a working gcam with astro i might actually pull the trigger on the note 9

Latest Urnyx05 version works great.. but astrophotograhy isnt working
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v1.7-fix.apk
Can someone else try it?
I'm using the one above and noticed every night shot is ungodly noisy. I don't remember older versions being this bad so it's probably a setting I'm missing or something, but it's unusable and I saw ISOs of 5000+.

Im using this version also (N9600). I have tested a couple gcam versions and this seems to be the best one yet.
16:9 is not working (not a big deal for me)
Astrophotography takes a regular Night Sight picture. (i really hope they fix this since I LOVE this feature)

Have there been any updates since this post?
I went here to track what updates have appeared: https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-urnyx05/#apk1625
Downloaded this release which was published on June 20 2020 https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.0.apk
It seems to work just fine. I have some use cases where I've been missing my Pixel .
One thing I do find annoying about this gcam is that motion photos are on by default, both versions I've installed have been in that mode and I had to disable it.
