Hi,
I am long time WFS user and never had problem with youtube before last update. After last update of youtube app, my phone can't handle it. It has some new fancy features but WFS is too slow for it. Does anybody know some good replacement with low requirements ? I mean some light app that can play YTB vids on this shi.tty phone. Best would be older youtube app but I dont have it. Thanks.
BTW: My WFS is clocked to 806mhz
I wasn't crazy about that last update, at least not on the WFS; and, I'm not sure I like that minimizing the playing video to the corner either, on any phone, but maybe too soon to decide.
My suggestion would be to go into Settings>>Applications>>Manage Applications and it should open to your, "Downloaded" apps, if not click on Downloaded. Then click on You Tube and you will have the option to uninstall updates. I believe this will leave the original You Tube and just uninstall the updates. If not, and it uninstalls all of You Tube, what are you going to lose. You have it now with all updates and you can always reinstall You Tube from the app store until you find something else. Now all of this is presuming you've optimized and still think You Tube is too slow.

There is a leak apk going around and it should have Books and Movie included but somehow I cant get the movie section on mine install..
I downloaded it from a link on droid-life and I've got movies in the market. I don't think rooted phones can use the movie feature though.
Installed last night on my rooted stock sense droid and the movie section is there although have not nor will I attempt to purchase one. Movies on these tiny screens just doesn't compare to the LED's in the house.
Google movies do not work on rooted phones. I'd suggest using either netflix or online websites to stream movies / tv episodes. I have a good website that has pretty much all the content that netflix doesn't offer (also a bunch of content that they already do). If you want the link PM me
I'm not a fan of the new market design (too many adverts) and it's kinda messy and jumbled. They still didn't fix the problem of finding what I'm actually searching for so I just reverted back to the old one.
Also I'm getting issue with apps not updating or the option to. I click to update app and just uninstall and open..??? I restored back to 2.3.6, also agree on looks of new market. Too much crap and search apps or missing apps sucks compared to older version.
Whats up XDA!..... Its your boy Jose.... Im making this thread because I have seen some people wanting to get play 1440p videos from YouTube... Well every since the new Youtube Update it killed the 1080p and also 1440p Resolution .... I don't know why Google did that...
But anyways here is how to get old Youtube (Previous Version) into your Device and enjoy that Beautiful Screen
Now this is the way that I got mine to work ...
1. Delete your Recent YouTube from inside your Device .... "Uninstall it" or Use "Root Explorer Pro" or any file explorer ..
2. Uninstall all YouTube updates .... ReBoot...
3. Install the Youtube apk that I provided (Or any other Version that supported 1440p) ReBoot Final time ...
4 Enjoy ...

Here is a UHD video I shot yesterday with my note4 at the airshow in Ft.Worth TX. Blue Angels. This was the first time using the video camera. There are plenty of good parts and some just flat out blurry parts. Zooming in while chasing a fighter jet a mile away was actually not to hard. Given some practice I could make a much better video. There's this one below and other 1080 vids of the airshow
"Ft. Worth Alliance air show 10-2514 HD" on YouTube

+1 same for me... Tops out at 720 on every video
After installing the new app from here,try going and clearing app data in application manager, then re-install it, reboot,,try again

Try deleting your cache your application data ... Reboot install ...
Did all that no go.... I mean ive never even been able to get 1080p and ive always had the best of the best in phones
Wierd! I had this working before with stock rooted but now that I run FireKat rom I top @ 720p too!
I have cleared data and cache and also boot into recovery to fix permissions to no avail!
I had all the same problems, what fixed it for me was to clear youtube cache and data, uninstall then reboot......then go back and uninstall any updates again, then navigate with root explorer to system/app and delete the youtube.apk from there, then reboot again and install the version in this thread......then for the hell of it wipe youtube app cache and data followed by a final reboot.......then it worked.
Hope this helps
It works. You just have to make sure all reminisce of the app are gone. Then reboot install and reboot again. On our phones 720 and 1080 look about the same honestly
You have to delete all your YouTube data to make it work if not its still gonna be doing the samething ....
Here you go it's there but I am not able to select 1080 or 2k SO it's worthless.....

Same here.
Is there anyone that's of course not on root since we don't have it available yet, able to view YouTube in 1080 and 1440p resolution? I have tried everything and the highest it can go is 720. Anyone have a difference apk or a fix or something!? I know there are lots of fixes if you are rooted and running Xposed but I know that's not available to us. Anyone??

I downloaded the apk from the first post of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/youtube-1440p-root-stock-t2964677/page8
But instead of following the instructions I force closed youtube from application manager, cleared data, uninstalled updates, rebooted, installed the new apk, rebooted, opened the new youtube app, skipped the updates and skipped singing in, searched 1440p and tried a video, no luck though, so I went back to application manager and force closed youtube, cleared data. I then went back to the youtube app but this time I updated to the new version in the play store when it asked, and then searched for 1440p again, loaded a video and I have now gotten 1080p and 1440p on my note 4

Yeah the instructions are stupidly misleading from the posts and that thread in general was garbadge.
I can "play" videos listed as 1440p and it DOES look good on the screen. But when I hit the three buttons and choose settings all I see is listed to 720p. Are you all ACTUALLY seeing the 1080p and 1440p listed as an option in the settings?
I followed the link and directions a few post up...
When I said search 1440p it's just to find a demo video, it doesn't affect anything in the steps, go ahead and clear data for the youtube app, did you update after you opened the apk in the other thread?

Yes, just went back and tried your steps above one by one and still only getting up to 720p listed. Did you use the NEWEST from that link you reposted? I used version com.google.android.youtube-6.0.11-60011301-minAPI15-1.apk Should I use the 6.0.13?

Yup so use the 6.0.11 and open the app, try a video, then force stop the youtube app, clear data, open it up again and then UPDATE to the new version of youtube from within the app, it's odd how this works so it seems a bit different for each person
I followed the steps above and i still dont have an 1080p or a 1440p option appear in the settings during play back. I also pulled up the same TF4 1440p trailer.

Still cannot get the 1080p or 1440p to show up with the above instructions. Tried it multiple times. Double checked before and after reboots to see which youtube version it showed after installs and update. No big deal as i dont use youtube too often. I was wondering if it is a limitation due to area of the country? Provider? Which lte network the phone is connecting to? What speeds WiFi network is giving? Or something else that determines it?
Thanks for the instructions and help anyways. Have a great New Year

Yep, same here no matter what I try.
1080p is available on my Nexus 7(2013), but nothing on the Note. Kinda pisses me off.
Yeah, I posted what I did to get 1080 and 1440 but I think it's finicky in the way it works and won't work for everyone.
Yeah the way the get it working is hit or miss when it comes to certain devices. The way I got mine working was installed an old apk of YouTube and then ran it and it worked. Then I updated it though the playstore and the option for higher resolution was still there. That's how I got mine working.
Not really a solution for streaming, but I use Tubemate to download videos in 1440 (if available). It's not on the app store, you'll have to do a search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tubemate
I dont get it...! I get 1440p playback on my Tab S using the same YT version of the app i have i the Note 4 and no 1440p playback on my Note 4.

Looks like they finally fixed it

Sweet. Works out of the box for me as well, all are listed.. Thanks for the heads up.
When I use the YouTube app, everything seems to be normal as long as I don't minimize the video (you know, drag it to the corner so it's in the lower right of the screen)
It lags like hell. I mean, I got a OnePlus 3 and a Nexus 7 and both do it with 60fps. The 5t does not, and I don't know why. When you drag it, it almost looks like you're dragging two videos at once (doing it very fast looks like there's a black scren behind it)
Does anyone else has this issue? It's no game breaker but it certainly buggs me. And yeah, uninstalled the updates, reinstalled them, deleted the cache of youtube, signed out and signed in...
Bootloader is unlocked, however not rooted. I'm still waiting for the official twrp release.
If anyone got any idea... I would really appreciate it.
I tried to use iYTPB but uninstalled it since it had not the features I liked (and it was laggy too - not the videos, the animations of the app itself)
Am I the only one...? :s
Did you ever fixed this? I'm having this problem on another device.
Hi! Just bought this phone because it's just too cheap and has decent specs. Actually, bought 2 of them, they were about 70$ each, with some 15$ extra headphones bonus
Phone came with Fire OS 4.6.3. Managed to install Google services and store, Google now launcher and make default with Home Switcher(listed as "incompatible" in Play store, had to sideload it...many other apps are "incompatible"). That was problem number one...
After that, installed Youtube app, which works, but 360p only and no cardboard option(360 vr videos). Installed iYTBP(modded youtube app) and videos work at higher resolution(720p default) but still no VR. Also default app player doesn't work well.
Installed Facebook and seemed ok, but videos open in browser and don't autoplay in app. I understand whatsupp has problems playing videos...
All these seem to happen because phone is not really known to the apps and they run in "simple" mode.
Is there any way to make apps think it is another phone that they "know" has enough hardware to run them fully? Because it really has...the soc is still strong enough and gyro is there. I will try my best to keep it as stock as possible for warranty reasons(2 years...)
Stumbled across some post where someone said you have to modify build.prop, I think, but can't find it anywhere. Of course, I would need to root it first...
Any more tips welcome, this is best buy for 70$ + bonus and it's really selling well around Romania right now, it seems.
As a side note, battery life seems ok, I got around 5h SOT without sim first day of use, gestures and sensors enabled and Google launcher.
For those other newbs, this site is useful to a point: http://spinyourfire.com/. Home switcher app is attached here, as it does not show up in Google play for this phone.
Google now works fine for me, including wallpapers and widgets and seems to have full functionality.
Thanks!
