I have this strange issue.
Any video I start playing on YT it always uses 480p resolution.
I'm at home on WiFi.
I can switch to 1080p, but this has to be done every time a new video is playing.
Any ideas?

Depends on what plan you have. I thought T-Mobile limited video to 480p? If that's the case and I believe it is, then you will only be able to watch 480p video while on T-Mobile LTE. That also explains why you can switch to 1080p when on WiFi.

As he stated, he is on home WiFi not T mobiles LTE. So the issue is not with T Mobile.

Could be your youtube settings set to based on your network speed, thus giving you 480p?

I looked through the available YT settings, and could only find the download quality settings, but not regular default resolution playback settings.
Are there settings in YT for resolution that is default when playing back videos?
Are you bootloader unlocked and rooted??
I have the same issue with OP6T bought directly from OnePlus. There are several threads about this on OnePlus forum and the problem is not only with their latest phone.It seems this issue has been there for months but I found a solution. I installed YT Vanced and all is good again. BTW I'm locked not rooted.

Hello all I'm with T-Mobile after getting upset w/AT&T. No matter what
player I use the video is more trouble than it's worth. I have an
unlocked 8525 which is a 3G phone, all T-Mobile has is GPRS or Edge
Networks. I've spoken to my provider & to HTC. They say without the 3G
network I cannot *have video. I know that's not true, I used to be
able to watch news feeds or whatever with a Razor. With a 500.00 PPC Icannot??? If some oneone could explain away around this problem it
would be much appreciated!
I'm running Shcap's 4.00 ROM
Radio 1.54.07.00
I know to use the search here & Wiki & any MOD here can look & see I've searched until I'm blind & confused. I guess I've read too much. I've tried 4 or 5 different radios, I'm all out of ideas. As I said any help would be much appreciated!
it all comes down to the resolution of the video
if it's 640_480 then your screen will only show ½ the pixels anyway
but it will still transfer 2times the data down
personaly i would not bother with video on grps it's
too slow even for me to surf without loosing my patience
So I guess the only fix is to drop T-Mobile & goto a 3g carrier? My contract will not be up until June & by then there should be all kinds of new PDA's out there. I guess it would be just as well for me to use a GO Phone & pay the 150.00 X-L fee & call it a day!
in TCPMP goto Options, Video, and select Raw FrameBuffer.
DirectDraw is not compatible with WM6 from what I hear.
This fixed choppy video problems I had with Youtube videos and TCPMP.

8525 (Hermes) has been notorious for crap video playback, depending on which ROM you use. The ROM the TC is using should be loaded withe the decent drivers. Best thing i use is Coreplayer and it works fine with Hardware acceleration.
Directdraw DOES work with WM6, select YV12 overlay and it should be fine.
GPRS is pretty poor bandwidth and bearing in mind it is rate adaptive so is unlikely you get anywhere close to the theoretical 80/60 kbps maximum. In a sence TMobile was correct in that 3G really is a good idea when planning on using streaming media. Depends on loads of things like the resolution, framerate, bitrate, bandwidth, codec etc...
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for there input.Being new to all this, I need all the helI can get. I plan to flash Schap's new 4.30 full to my phone this week, I hear that TCPMP is more less the same as Coreplayer. Is this true or not? I do have one question. Which radio using T-Mobile has worked the best for everyone in the MO & AR area of the USA? I think this may have something to do with it. Thanks for the input!
Hi everyone
I love the youtube setup page on the touch HD but once I trydown the videos I keep getting a visual stutter(not sound). This continues until the video has fully downloaded and spoils the video entirely. I have tried the fast download option in the settings but the quality is poor and I did not get the HD to watch blurry videos. I have contacted HTC and tried posting in various forums but to no avail. Is this normal? How can this be corrected?
Thanks
stating if this is while connecting as /GPRS/EDGE/3g/HSDPA
would help
I have always used my wifi settings for youtube. However I just tried it with HSPDA and there was no lag even before the video had fully downloaded! When I tried HSPDA the video downloads and you have to manually start the video wheras with WiFi the video starts automatically(with stutter)
Strange
I to have a stutter if I play over Wi-Fi while the video is still downloading, had this problem also on my HTC Diamond. Seems that the CPU just can't handle rendering the video while the Wi-Fi is being maxed out as it's seems it's just to much data for the CPU to process at once.
Once the video has finished downloading it then plays very smoothly.
HSDPA or 3G play fine though while downloading as it's slower than Wi-Fi, so less data for CPU to work on. Until HTC start providing us with devices with more than 528mhz CPU's or allow the GPU to render the video while the CPU handles the downloading then this problem is always going to be there.
Wonder though if HTC could radically slow down the Wi-Fi on current devices in the YouTube app only in order for the CPU to smoothly render the video while downloading.
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.
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! ?
