I've noticed that while watching videos on the YouTube app it takes 20 seconds to start streaming in 1080p HD quality on my device. My friend has an S5 and his starts streaming HD instantly. Why does it take exactly 20 seconds to start streaming HD on only my device? It's fully stock, never been rooted so i really am baffled as to why only i am having this issue? If anyone has any idea or solution, please, enlighten me! Many thanks in advance.
Are both of you under same network service?

Yes, we are both on the giffgaff network. Surely i would have thought the network has nothing to do with how long the video takes to start streaming in HD since i am using WiFi and not mobile data? Even when I'm streaming HD videos via mobile data/4G, it still takes exactly 20 seconds until the quality updates to HD... I'm completely baffled by it all and I'm sure no doubt everyone who reads my post will be too! ?

Anyone else tried the new Google Movies in the marketplace yet?
I gave it a go last night just to see how well it streamed. I have the Wi-Fi only Xoom and tethered it through my G2 on T-Mobiles HSPA Network.
Overall the experience was kind of sour. The movie played for about 30 mins before it stopped to "buffer." The bigger problem was audio and video was WAYYY off after about 36 minute mark. It was a good 10 secs apart at some points. Took it home on my wireless network just to make sure the T-mobile network wasn't the problem and i had the same problem there!
Anyone else experience the same problem?
Edit:Streaming from my computer was flawless though. It seems to the same problem most video players experience when playing movies on the xoom.
I dont even know where to find the movies. I can see them on the site, but where do I find them on my XOOM?

Hello,
Im getting a weird youtube problem on my hd2 w/wp7. This happens on any video longer than 1min 20ish sec. It will start and play a video fine, but it will stop playing at around 1:18 min:sec or so. Its like it just doesnt bother to finish downloading. But if its connected to wifi, it will play the entire video.
With good 3g signal, Ill get around 900kb/s dl speeds.
I have tried several youtube apps including lazyworm and HTC.
Im running green mango w/ market place, but this has happened to every rom ive tried.
Im on giffgaffs network (o2) and I have unlimited downloads. I also have asked them if they throttle youtube at all and they said no. They said to try to erase any apn/proxy settings i have, but I dont have any settings under apn.
Thanks or looking and any help is much appreciated!
Chris.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or have any ideas??

Hey XDA.
I was wondering if any of you guys could help me sort out an issue I've been having with youtube.
I have a 12Mb/s connection through AT&T U-verse and I can't even load a 720p youtube video without lag.
This only happens with youtube because I can play HD videos on Vimeo with no problems whatsoever and can download torrents at 1 megabyte a second.
Youtube speed test says my average download speed is only 2.1 Megabits a second, nowhere near my 12 megabit connection.
Is this an AT&T issue or is it a youtube issue?
What can I do to help stop this?
Screenshot attached.
could be anything
Hi there your drop in speed could be a number of from youtube usage(other people), open background applications like facebook gmail syncing etc i suggest turning all that off then try using youtube again other than that alot of people on the yt review section are saying its only with the latest updates so if you have an old backup try restoring that and see if it makes a difference again im no expert but some useful tips i hope ive given you
Also forgot to mention try wiping your cache aswell it gets pretty full once a while depends on yt usage
You also have to remember that ATT shares its data connection with your TV (FAIL) so if you are watching tv or having the DVR record anything your speed will do down... That is why i will NEVER EVER get ATT because i hate the fact that they steal bandwidth from other devices... So your best bet with the youtube is to not be doing anything else on the TV or other computers... Or depending on your area you can switch to cable INET and TV as you WILL NEVER have that issue!!!

Actually, I already had that in mind. I tested even with all tv receivers disconnected.

Try different videos / different video apps, like Netflix or something. I doubt it's an issue with the phone.
