So I noticed when on youtube the max quality of videos I can select is 720p. Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes! What gives, YouTube?!

YouTube nerfs mobile downloads. Search for YouTube Downloader here, update it and you can grab whatever res you want, as well as save or convert to mp3 files. It's a must have!
yes its youtube apk issue. it needs update
With root it's an easy fix by changing 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 in build.prop but without root can't touch it sadly. That's how I did it on the LG g3 and HTC one m8.

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of the unofficial YouTube apps on the Play Store. The official YouTube app I use is terrible. Always buffering. Even on a strong wifi connection. YouTube through the browser works alright, but is less convenient. Anybody have any recommendations?

is there an app that just downloads the audio track and plays it? i swear i found one a couple years ago on my wfs but i forgot what it was. i dont care much about the videos, as i only use you tube to find and play specific tracks, but its such a data hog with the vids

Ima register my interest here - since getting a tablet I've found i cannot watch HD vids due to buffering issues that don't exist in browser or on other devices using the same connection.
I never play strictly audio from YouTube as there are plenty of OTHER audio options I use on the M. When I'm on YouTube it's for videos. Heck the website works from my phone better than the app.

I know it's been a few months from the last response, but I feel like I should still reply in case you/someone else is still interested in a better Youtube app.
Viral HD Youtube Popup Player is the best Youtube app I've found for Android, far better than the official app. You can actually choose what quality video you want instead of HQ/HD and not HQ/HD, which is something about the official app that really annoys me. Also it doesn't shove recommended videos in your face when you start it, it instantly shows your subscriptions. The player interface also has much more usability (eg. changing the brightness/volume and being able to lock it) and it also has a neat feature to play the video in a popup window while you do other stuff (which isn't very useful in most situations really and you can disable it in the settings if you don't use it) or you can just have the video play in the background (which is really useful in case it's a podcast/music video).
It does have some bugs and missing features, which I'm sure will get fixed eventually, but in general the app looks really good and polished unlike most other unofficial Youtube apps.
(I was going to put a link to it in the Play store, but since I can't just search for Viral HD Youtube Popup Player and you'll find it)
PS. I've no idea if it fixes the buffering issue, I just had to share it since it's fairly difficult to stumble upon it in the Play store and it's just so good that it deserves far more than 100k downloads

Hello, I have a note 2 n7100. I used to have 4.1.2. Flashed 4.3. Everything went well. One thing that's bothering me is the youtube app video quality is low even when I choose HQ. It gets better but it's pixilated. On 4.1.2 it was basically hd. Has anyone else experience the same problem? I can't figure out what it is. The rom?. Or a setting somewhere? Could a custom kernel effect it somehow? Any tips or advice appreciated.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Are you on 3G? Because usually the app switches to HQ rather than HD only on 3G.
Also there is an app called Viral .. It let's you choose whatever quality you want, its kinda good, you may want to try it
Thanks, i guess i had a modded youtube app before where it would automatically play hd in 3g. Noe it only has hd option on wifi only. The only solution i foind is the OG youtube downloader. Where you can choose what quality you want when on 3g. But it doesnt have an auto option to go to highest quality when on 3g. Ill check out that viral app. Thanks.

Actually most of the roms have youtube apk as system app and those apks are a little modified for better performance!
If u have system youtube apk then you can remove it by using root uninstaller from play store(needs root).
And reinstall youtube from play store!

Thanks, but the app isn't there. theres only de apks for the normal youtube app and the you tube app for google tv......
Looking for the same thing I called customer service they told me they are working on a new app for geo error we are getting but I don't know how long that will be if some one can adb pull there YouTube app and share it here would truly appreciate it that way we can sideload it and see if that works

Nobody in here that can actually provide a copy of the Youtube apk for FireTV? I'm having the same problem here. When I try and buy any of the free apps on the Fire TV, I get the good old geo-restriction errors. Also cant get them using a web-browser. The APK's that are available from the Play Store and the one for the Google TV are not ideal.
Could somebody please try and see if they have the apk they could upload somewhere so we can adb it to our devices? Great many thanks to someone willing to help out here!

What about the YouTube HD MOD also found here on XDA as a direct apk download?
Then again I want one with unrestricted access that doesn't block certain videos because of Android.
Some of Pewdiepie's videos (BattleBlock Theater Part #3) don't appear on his channel through the app,but I can find them by directly searching for them in the app.
Hey, guys, try this, just pulled from my device for you.

This one was installed using Play store, it's a google tv version. I like it.
Have you tried YouTube for XBMC?
Not sure if the Youtube XBMC add-on will solve your problems but it's worth a shot for sure.
The new version of youtube app has just been released providing the option to custom choose the resolution of the video. However, the only options for our phone are 140p 240p 360p. Is anybody aware of a way to enable hd video to our measly but reliable phone?
Thus far AFAIK, the only way to watch YouTube videos in HD is via third party apps such as Viral Popup Player and OGYouTube.

Are you people running Stock ROM from samsung?
I am running the latest nightly version of OMNI rom for galaxy s2 and all the Youtube videos are played at only 360p maximum. Is this rom lacks any youtube video hardware acceleration issue? or its an limitation with youtube.
Thanks,

the s2 doesn't have a 720p screen so hd videos are usless on this small screen

I'm on NeatROM which is essentially a stock ROM and the quality only goes up to 360p on the official YouTube app. You can watch YouTube videos in 720p but only via third party apps.

Get Xposed and download "app settings" then open it and scroll down to YouTube and change the DPI to 200 and change the DP to 800×1280 I'm sure it will work. Hope I helped
Hey guys, just got my G4 (international version) today. I had one question - there is no "Video" app in the app drawer. Looks like I can only get to it via QSlide; I did a factory reset and it's still not showing up in the App drawer. Is this normal ?? Or is something up with my phone?
Thanks,
Praz
Seems to be normal mine is the same way

Yeah it appears you're right. I used LG bridge to do a full recovery and bone stock it's like that then. Not a big deal, though a little weird.
Thanks!
Unless you want to install a separate standalone video player, the way to access videos on the G4 is by locating them in your file manager. The video player will launch videos automatically when opening them in other apps. There's just no regular, logical way of opening videos within the app itself.
