I've notice Netflix, Hulu and HBO go all seem to play blurry on the GS4.
My iPhone and iPad play those videos perfect.
Anyway to fix it or just have to wait till the update those apps.
I'm assuming most apps will need to be updated to better support 1080p screens.

It looks nice, but no where near the video quality of my iphone 5.
Hope they update those apps soon. Youtube on the other hand looks great.

I miss this too Was great when I could do it in my SGS1. Load a youtube vid and hit the power button to lock the screen so its off OR even start my browser and surf while playing youtube music Pretty bad decision for Google/Samsung to break this in ICS.

I dont think its an app thing. I believe ICS is codded for it. Kinda like how when you are listening to music and take pictures the music pauses for a moment to execute the shutter sound even if you have disabled it

Hello
I uploaded 1080p and 720p videos taken with my Note 2 on Youtube. But then the quality is very bad when im watching them on the youtube app frop the phone. Even in HQ. Is this normal ?
Same thing watching them from a computer in 480p ( i have to choose 720p streaming minimum to have it quite ok but for me its a lof of time to load) but I have seen some video test taken with the Note 2 and they look fine in 360p.
Anyone experienced it or has a solution ?
Can you give us a link to the YouTube video so we can see what's going on?
I haven't uploaded video into YouTube from this phone, but I don't see why the quality would be poor.

you have to wait for a while for YouTube to work on the video first.

really ? I'll wait a few days then and see what happens.
Just checked from the phone, it's HD, no problem with that. Quality looks okay.
One thing, in phone, HQ and HD are two completely different things. HQ could be 480P but HD is 720P.

Thanks for playing my video.
This is the quality I have with the HQ activated.
I'm not sure this is an okay quality, i've seen better. You both had the same kind of view ?
Even played it with my LG phone, its the same.
Just so we clear, I just have to click on the HQ button on the bottom left corner right ?

Again, if the video is 720P, then it should show HD button, not HQ, on your Note.

It is a 1080p video ! First you should try it on your computer you'll see the quality is very bad in 360.
And I have never seen a HD button on youtube android app, only HQ. Have you ? Its the same with my LG phone, shows HQ.

Well I rarely see videos which show HQ. I see HD most of the time.

I feel dumb lol. I found the reason why I havent got it HD. using WiFi gives me HD. but 3G network doesnt. I always use Mobile data.
I really have a good network connection, the carrier or Youtube must have blocked HD videos. still, my 3G HQ quality really sucks then
thanks for your time
now for the second part of the matter, is this normal 360p using the computer to stream is such a bad quality ?

Do you have a compression app like Onavo Extend running? Maybe the video is being compressed to save bandwidth on playback?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
The native YouTube app on our phones only support HQ on mobile data. HD on wifi.
There is a hacked YouTube app on XDA which allows HD on mobile data, but you need to root to be able to install it.
I'm using it at the moment and it's beautiful.
It's got nothing to do with your carrier blocking HD on mobile data, just the YouTube app itself.
Try the hacked YouTube app here on XDA.

it seems like I can't stream anything in HD. is there a setting for this? Both YouTube and Netflix apps streams in 360 or 480p even when HD button is on. it's kind of annoying when I know I can get better picture than that. What's the purpose of having a nice screen when you can only stream in this resolution? is there a way to force these to stream in 720p? or at least an apk that will work on Galaxy Note II. i've found some but it doesn't work on my NII. thanks.

For youtube you can go to settings but I think its HQ and for you to see videos you have to make sure whatever video you choose to watch is a HD video that way when it starts you can select the HD option button remember on youtube you have to hope that the uploader had recorded their videos in HD also. Now for netflix it shows on its own since I have lte I really never tried to see if their was an option for HD in the settings.

both of them shows pixelation even both the Netflix shows I watch and YouTube channels in am subscribed to is both available in HD. I cannot express how much I hate this.
I see you use Sprint version. have you tried comparing it side by side a laptop or desktop if they are the same? I tried comparing them and note II was inferior of the three, but when I run a video I have on my sd card it looks crisp.

this! I tried this earlier with TIBU but I can't install it. Apparently it stayed at my app drawer so it blocked me from installing it. I tried it again and worked like magic. it's finally streaming true HD! now we just need netflix. I tried some already but all of them won't work. It force closes on me. tyvm

mine didn't. It seems like it's not just me. There's a huge difference between the modded apk linked above than the one on play store. no pixelation and discoloration on the new apk. crisp and clear just like how it looks like on a laptop. but now it eats a lot more data which is fine since I have unlimited 4g nationwide. I guess I see why the official one doesn't offer true HD. ^^.
I hope somebody do something like that for netflix. I've searched but no one has a working apk on Samsung devices. :/

Download Tube mate (Google It) you can stream or download 1080P,720P,480P,360P HD videos on 3G/4G/LTE or WiFi. Works great for me. Also there's a modded Netflix APK that supports 720P. Google it as well. I don't like posting links because they may be considered as spam.

Hey guys! For those people who wants to know if the bravia engine works or is a placebo feel... I invited u to do this 3 steps:
1.Open a video with the samsung stock video player
2. In the right-down part u will see a option to wach the movie in small window.
3. Now u can see rhe movie at the same time play with the phone and make other stuffs.
Now, look the icons, wallpaper, browser, overall the phobe seems like HD. And if u want to see the difference again just go to home and now kill the video player from the (X) in the video player and then u will see the diference. Sorry for my english is not my first language.
Feel free to post ur results
Btw: is exists anyway to make bravia engine always on not just for movie or pics?

Simple question. Have anyone else ever noticed that when using 4G network that the quality of their video is significantly lower than that of the Wifi? Our phones are made for handling full HD so why not give it to us at all times unless we ask to get HQ and Not HD? seems a little silly to me. Not thay much of a bother but I'd just like to see my videos in full HD whenever I'm on the go.

Check your youtube app settings. If you want it to load in high quality when on a mobile data network you have to explicitly tell it to do that.
No no I understand that. But watch a video in HQ on YouTube.. Then connect to wifi and watch it in HD. There's a good deal difference in quality. At least to me anyway

When on 4g the highest is going to be HQ. But when you're on wifi or LTE It's HD. Or as mentioned you can use the modded YouTube app to always have it on HD regardless of connection.
