Hello all. I have had my S4 or a week now and am loving it. So superior to the Galaxy S3. But I have noticed a small issue. When playing videos on some apps like youtube, the video will studder alot. No this is not a buffering issue and i have concluded that. And it seems that when playing videos from the youtube site on internet, the sound will kinda lag sometimes as well. This doesn't happen on all video apps so i don't think it's a hardware issue. My S4 is not rooted and is fully stock. Can anyone help me??
Hi I have a galaxy s5 g900f and on YouTube, if the video is 720p or 1080p the video will work just fine, however, when the video is 720p60fps or 1080p60fps it doesn't work on my phone. I have looked everywhere and got nowhere. I need help. Also if the video is at 60fps the max quality I can watch the video at is 480p. Tell me what kind of other information you need and I will try my best to provide it!
It seems the S7 Edge can't handle playing YouTube videos in HD. Anything 1080p and higher it lags and stalls playing the video but you hear the sound. Does anyone else have this issue or tried it? My Note 5 works like a champ. And this is a fresh install.
Okay, so I uninstalled the youtube updates and using the one that came on the phone and it works fine. Any ideas why that would work?
It seems to be a bug affecting various Qualcomm chips, as people with the Moto X Pure and LG V10 are having the same issue, so it might just be a bug in the YouTube app or maybe a Qualcomm driver or something. We should probably report it on Google product forums if no one else has already. I turned off Smart Stay and initially I thought that fixed it for me, but then the issue started happening again so I guess it was just coincidence.
OK I just tried you tube and is updated and all 1080 streams played fine with no lag or stalling.

As soon as the phone updates that app, it breaks it again. Ugh. I find it hard to believe it works for some.....As many are noticing it.

1080p works fine for me. It's 1440p that causes the pausing on mine, although occasionally it will play a 1440p video just fine.

I agree. 1080p seems to work most of the time. I had it do it twice on that....but 1440p definitely won't work.
Same problem here. I'll try uninstalling updates. Thanks

Yeah, the bug seems to only affect Snapdragon chips. I did witness a Note 5 with Exynos reboot when trying to play a YouTube video yesterday though.
tmobild s7 edge here and definitely have the same issue 1440p youtube videos are choppy as heck and also are you guys noticing that there isnt a 60fps option as well?
what the heck with my s6 edge i could watch 1440p 60fps youtube vids with no issue at all!
Is there a Youtube app alternative thats good? Similar to how Twitter has Phoenix

It's definitely a bug. The Snapdragon 820 is easily powerful enough to play 1440p videos smoothly. Hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather than later.
Those of you with unlimited data on Tmobile need to call CS and cancel the Binge On setting. If you keep this enabled on your account then the video quality is reduced big time.

I made a video of my lag.
I kind of found a work around tho for mine.
Right when I open the app and choose a 1440p video I have to go in to the little gear option thingy and change it to 1440p. From here the video gets choppy and lags but if i go to another video and YouTube saves my 1440p selection and it automatically starts the video at 1440p where I don't have to go in and change it the video has no lag.
Someone let me know if it is the same for you.
YT was updated yesterday now with full 60FPS..no problems ever with my S7 edge
Hi, there is something wierd i am experiencing with my note 4. The quality of the video pre n post going into slow motion is very poor. Its very framy like its running in 10-15 fps before the slow motion starts n after the slow motion ends n the video starts to play at normal speed. I also took a slowmo video on my note 4 n transfered it to galaxy s6 n after the rendering the video was smooth.
I also saw a couple of slowmo video taken from note 4 posted on youtube n they too were framy.
Please help
Could you please share your experience with this new app?
I have my stick connected to my 5.1 Home Cinema HDMI port. At theokwnt I'm getting 5.1 sound from Netflix and Amazon Prime.
I was hoping that with dedicated YouTube app I will also get 5.1 sound. When on 9th July I downloaded and installed this new YouTube app I was excited as I played my purchased movies and inhad 5.1 sound.
Today when I started watching another purchased movie it is only stereo. I checked other movies from my YouTube library and now they all play stereo. Netflix and Amazon Prime are still playing 5.1.
I'm wondering if google have changed something or YouTube app have been updated in a meantime.
Also the video quality I can select watching purchased videos is showing max 480p however the video looks like 1080p so not sure what's going on. For other regular videos I can change quality to 1080p.
Can someone suggest any fix?
Thanks for comments.
Update 1
I think google/YouTube is doing something as today I can see quality options to have 1080p included now. However the sound is still 2.0. Hopefully they will change this too.

Any chance you can upload the apk for the new YouTube app? You would really help many poor fellows like me
