Has anyone else noticed this? While watching a 1440p video on youtube, after a minute or two, it will start dropping frames like crazy. Sometimes the video will stop entirely (audio still plays). I've noticed this on MKBHD and Linus Tech Tips channels. If I set the quality to 1080p (or anything lower) manually, it plays just fine. It's not a buffering issue, because the audio still plays. It seems like the phone is trying to reduce the cpu and youtube isn't capable of playing 1440p video with the reduced cpu. It never happens at the beginning of a video. I didn't have this problem on my V10, ever.
Can you give links to exact videos? I just tested on this on
https://youtu.be/hddwAIXbKZo
Looked amazing. Ran in 1440 with zero issues.
This was happening to me as well. SD820 variant. On WiFi. A restart seems to have fixed the problem...for now...hopefully.
Exynos will breeze through this. SD fail.

Okay I can see what you're talking about now. I just watch this video. Its default was like 720. I changed it to 1440 and it froze. Sound continues video stops. I minimize the video and closed it then reopened it it stayed 1440 and ran fine.

Not sure what's causing it but I can definitely see the problem. I don't want to have to close and reopen a video to get it to play properly.
These are two of the ones I remember it happening on:

That video may not be long enough... it happens after a minute or two on my phone, and that video is only 1:45 long.
This 1440p issue happens on my LG G4 as well. I'm getting my Exynos S7 Edge on Friday

Just watched both of those on 1440p, no glitches at all. YouTube 1440 vids have been smooth as butter since my restart.

Happens on my V10... there are multiple threads in the V10 forums about the issue.
Are you guy's by any chance using T-Mobile? I know with their Binge On feature, they try to reduce and limit overall quality of any video feed not set up with the Binge On program. YouTube is not set up with it.
I get extremely choppy and dropped frames on 1440p. Also no 60fps option at all something is definitely wrong. My s6 edge was able to play 1440p 60fps with no issues at all.

I'm on T-Mobile, but in my case, it is not related to BingeOn. I have BingeOn disabled, and this was on WiFi. As I said in the original post, it isn't a buffering issue because the audio keeps going. Also, as others have noticed, if you minimize it and come back, the video will go for a little bit and then stop again.

Tested this ^^ and worked fine for me..I don't have any 60fps option though but it seems it plays the 60fps on the highest setting any way, just don't mention it .
Anyone try uninstalling YouTube updates and going back to the version that shipped with the phone? Since it's happening with other phones it could just be an app bug introduced with the latest update.
All videos play perfectly on my Exynos gs7 edge at 1440p

Definitely a Youtube issue as it's happening on too many different devices. I noticed it on my wife s6 edge + but not yet on my s7 edge.
All 1440p fine on exynos
useless reply, but I followed the link for the "2K" video sample (couple minutes long) and that played without issue via the YouTube app.
After that there was a link for a 4K Video Beauty of Nature video (about 31 minutes long) and THAT locked up after a few minutes of playback. (addendum: I'm a sucker for good Nature, but holy crap is that a pretty video.)
AT&T GS7E, all current updates, playing over mobile data. SpeedTest.net reports > 50Mb/s downstream at my location so bandwidth is probably not a factor.
Firefox plays the video without issue it seems, 13 minutes in without issue. Of course I can't be sure it's playing a 1440p stream, but it looks the same to my old eyes. :^(
I've played all Youtube videos linked and have no issues. Tried many thers via the Youtube app a7 1080p and 1440p and found no issues on my Exynos S7E
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

anyone experiencing freeze when play a video on youtube in 2k. for example a video from MKBHD or someone else.
because i can only see videos in 1080.
anyone?
I've watched a few movie trailers in 2k and they played fine. I don't know who could watch an entire movie like that. Looks wierd to me. I always disable that auto motion plus crap on 240hz TV's. I'd rather everything I watch not look like a soap opera. =)
If you're on mobile data and you haven't called T-Mobile to cancel Bing On then they won't let you watch Youtube videos in 2k let alone 1080. They reduce the quality of Youtube videos to use less data. Of course if you're on wifi this doesn't make a difference.
If you have unlimited LTE, you can turn off Binge On.

But I don't think that's OP issue here di you have the youtube link we can try?

I've heard even if you have unlimited data, they will still throttle you if you go over something like 20 gig/month.
Is that still the case?

It was pausing for me on his new video also, so I searched other 2k videos and all the others played fine. I think it is just his video.
Yes. 2k videos freeze on me occasionally. I really am curious what could be causing it. I also had my entire phone freeze once when playing a video in the Break app. It totally froze and the speaker was emitting a crazy high frequency sound. I just held the power button until it rebooted
I can't say for sure, heard that they reserved the right to throttle any crazy suspicious usage, but so far I haven't got one.
I use 25GB just this couple weeks, it's just because I'm taking a break from work, and watch too much K Drama, lol. But usually every month, I used 15-25GB.

No problem....Yea, depending on my signal, I used to have 1080 YouTube videos freeze on me before I canceled Bing on.
The latest update seems to have fixed this
I think it has something to do with the updated modem, prior to update I was getting 7 -12 MB download at home, now back to normal 25-30mb.
And when i tried to play gta san andreas in full resolution break the game. Anyone?
I think the issue here might have something to do with ram management. It happened to me 3 times already. And even after the resent update it did it again! Hopefully there's a fix for this soon.
Edit: OK try this.
1. Open youtube app
2.settings
3 . Backround and offline
4.under save offline tab. Disable the sd card.
Hopefully this helps. :thumbup:

I can't play video on HD on my axon 7 using the youtube app only max 480p. Anyone whit the same problem?
Edit: after some test i've discovered that using youtube app i can't watch video on 720p60 neither 1080p60 but only "standard" HD video. Is that normal?
Nope I don't have that issue
I noticed that too. It was there before. Now it's gone.

I found out the problem. The latest YouTube update screwed up the video quality options. HTC M10 users are having the same problem.
Not got that issue, got the sound sync issue though.
This is a YouTube issue. I looked up other devices that had this issue and it turns out that the Samsung Galaxy S7 had the problem just after launch. It took two months to fix it.
Looks like the video quality issue is a YouTube problem. I used Dailymotion and I can change between 720p60fps and 1080p60fps.
I have this issue. It's really annoying. The image freezes and the audio carries on. Only happens with hd content.
Is this still affecting anyone else?
I have had my ZTE Axon 7 for 10 days and experiencing the same problem. The visuals on YouTube videos are stuttering or freezing completely when playing 4K videos at 1440p at 30fps or 60fps. I have also experienced it on 1080p 60fps. This causes the audio to fall out of sync. I have compared it to my Samsung Note 4 and S7 Edge and have no problem playing same video. I have even factory reset phone to no avail. Emailed Gearbest (supplier) and ZTE (No help) and offered me an exchange or refund but have no stock. Really like the phone so don't want a refund on something for an problem I believe can be fixed as seems like a software issue. Great Value phone!

Getting this problem too, only happens when i watch 1440p videos. 1080p videos run fine without stutters
I have been having trouble seeing some videos that should be showing as 1080p on youtube. I have looked on my wifes one plus 3 and some videos she's able to watch at 1080p 60fps, I can only see it at 720p 60fps and it does not even give me the option for 1080p. I have tried using data and wifi and same results. I have the Tmobile Variant. Any one else with this issue?

I've searched a bit on the net, found that it appears to be a problem with newer devices, as the Youtube app doesn't support immediately this devices.
Even downloaded the last version of youtube, but still 720/60fps is the maximum resolution...

To this day I still can not watch videos at 1080p 60 fps. How can YouTube not fix your problem?
I can watch videos at 1440 resolution.
If video is not in 60 fps you can watch it in 1080p. But if it is recorded in 60 fps you can only watch in 720p. :crying:
