The S4 can't play youtube videos in 720/1080p 60 fps. Is there a hack to allow us to watch in 60fps???
I used my dad's note 3, and he can watch youtube in 60fps, but not my s4. I can't watch certain videos in HD when they only allow 60fps for their 720/1080p videos. Sucks.
Example. Dawkins nba videos only uses 720/1080p 60fps. So I can only watch them in 480p. Gotta be an app that works around that.

I can't even get 720p on mine. I used to have it on custom roms but I went back to stock rooted and the highest I get is 480p
go to the youtube app settings and change the limit data usage.
60fps youtube, download install root explorer, start app, accept root access, go to root directory, system, hold and press build.prop, open in text editor, find ro.product.model=SGH-M919, change the "SGH-M919" to "GT-I9505", save backout, go to app settings application manager, all, clear data for google play market and youtube, reboot.
You can have a 1080p60 option but it will freeze while sound play, so i choose gt-i9505 to only have the 72060fps option instead of frozen 108060fps, also i recon you have cm12.1 instead of touchwiz because cm12.1 is more updated and faster than touchwiz, 40fps for touchwiz and 60fps for cm12.1 with performance enabled in settings, so if you want a true 60fps playback from youtube then install cm12.1 with the instructions from above over it,
Just leave a thanks, ill appreciate.

Thank you so much. I'm gonna try it right now.
Edit: It worked. Thank you.
A lot of videos start off glitched, and the screen is gray, but all you have to do is start the video back to 0:00, and it'll act right.
Gonna hold off on CM12.1. Never trust it with GPS and data and whatnot. I'm good with 40fps for now, maybe when I feel like experimenting a little, I'll try it out.
Edit #2: Now all videos start off with weird lines, unviewable and gray, but not the end of the world. Just have to start the video back to 0:00 and back to normal video. Not a huge deal.

I was on stock Metro PCS ROM and the highest quality I'd get was 480p rare to get 720p on videos just regular not 60fps. I flashed Albe's Lollirom and I get 720p and 1080p on every video I've watched that has that option and if the video has 720p60fps I get the option to use it too. I believe it's just an option on Lollipop because on KitKat I haven't seen it. If you want to flash Lollipop Touchwiz I recommend Lollirom or Osiris. Main difference is that Lollirom has lot S6 features and Osiris is more stock but with some features. Both are really good.
Ok this sucks. Yeah it "works", but now it glitches for every video and the playing it back at 0:00 doesn't work now. Changing back to sgh m919.
Edit: nvm, you gotta play it at 720p 60fps for my way to work.

How did you get it to work flawless. I changed the build prop but the 60fps video is kinda laggy and when watching something other than 720p60 the video is all glitchy

Yeah, it lags a lot, and other than 720 fps, glitchy, but I'm talking if I want to watch it in general. Works good enough for me.
I'm tempted to flash cm 12.1, because of what the other poster said about it being optimized for youtube videos in 60fps.

I think it's just lollipop that is optimized for it. I had Lollirom and it was smooth there. Switched back to kitkat and it's laggy. I think I'll just stick with KitKat because I get better performance in games than with lollipop. I would go with CM but the camera isn't really good compared to when using TouchWiz and the Samsung features aren't there.

Yeah, I prefer stock, because too many bugs with CM. I read an article that KitKat is the best you're gonna get with s4, in terms of having the latest stuff with no bugs.
And yeah, cm camera sucks. I'll just live with the laggy 60fps, and probably py change my buildprop back to sgh m919 if I can't stand it anymore.

It's not that bad. If you'd like to try it out what I would do is make a backup in two and have it to save to the SD Card and then flash a lollipop rom. That way if you don't like it you can just restore everything you had before you flashed lollipop.

I know it's been a long time lol but I went back to stock firmware because of problems I was having with my SIM card.... just flashed Hispasian ROM an hour ago and it has 720p60fps. No problems with it at all. There's also 1080p60 but the video just freezes.

Grateful to know what's better? I'm always on the lookout, especially if it"s free to download. Couldn't find anything on the Playstore that reliably allowed playback of YouTube vids outside the YouTube app. I'm running a stock ICS rom, so would have to count out any apps that required a rooted device..
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!

Well, touchwiz gallery and camera are known for their lag. it's always better to freeze these apps and download third party apps that suit your needs of a faster camera and a faster gallery. Though I doubt it you'll find an app that have both of them intertwined. So bascially based on the functionality, speed etc. decide on one.

You have to root your device and delete your recent YouTube app and install previous version to enable 1080p and 1440p
No root needed...search google for version 5.9.0.10. Install...profit

T-Mobile note4 couldn't install because it was already installed in the system .... So in my case I had to delete the app from inside the system ..... And uninstalled all updates .... And disable auto update from play store ....
I got it working with 5.10.1.5. Don't get why Google removed the option though. Are there any benefits to 5.9 over 5.10?

Yes the 1440 is very nice!. Had to uninstall updates, then install apk. And I'm running dalvik. Had a few issues with art and never saw a performance increase.

Is this both when you are on wifi and on mobile data? Is this only through the app or also if you play a video through either the website or a different youtube player?
No matter wifi or not browser or YouTube app. ALWAYS 720p no 480p or 1080p.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
That is ood and sounds kinda like it is a restriction placed in by your carrier to cut down on data through their network. The odd thing is the missing 480p but there has been cases of even 144p missing so maybe it is not that odd.
Not being able to play +1080p and 480p is a restriction Google introduced for unofficial YouTube apps on all platforms a few months back. I normally would say that your YouTube app is modified in any way but it's strange that your browser it's also affected. Do other in browser videos work in 1080/480p? You might try to uninstall the YouTube app (might require root) and install it back from Play. Otherwise go get a Custom Rom.
Lol custom rom on a locked bootloader device. You're a trip. Even if you can safe strap you are stuck with stock based roms.

Incorrect. Its perfectly feasible to install a custom rom even if the bootloader is locked. You need to do more research before assuming. Does it matter if it's stock based it's still custom?
